Ryan: what're you kidding me, Segal man

Seth: yeah a divided house cannot eat, now we all gotta get together behind a single action hero

(Sandy comes in)

Sandy: Steve McQueen

Seth: Steve ma-who (looks at Sandy)

Sandy: oh my own son doesn't know Steve McQueen

Trey: (nods) y'know alotta people like Great Escape, I gotta go with Bullitt

Sandy: he cooks breakfast an a McQueen fan, I knew I liked you

Ryan: (to Sandy) how was surfing

Sandy: unbelievable (motions 'huge waves' with his hand)

Trey: (looks at Sandy) you surf

Seth: he surfs, he sings (Sandy smiles) he technically fights crime maybe Sandy Cohen could be our action here

Sandy: just say the word my son

Trey: (to Sandy) you think you could give me a (shrugs) surf lesson some time

(Kirsten comes in)

Kirsten: oooh better you then me, he's ben tryin'a get me out there for years (phone rings)

Sandy: (frowns) I have tried, I have tried, I have failed, I have failed

Kirsten: (looks at the phone) Julie Cooper (smiles) this cant be good (walks away to answer the phone)

Seth: (to Trey) Julie is uh Marissa's mom

Trey: oooh so (thinks) Ryan's mother in-law (Ryan looks at him)

Sandy: what, what Ryan an Marissa...what

Seth: it's on

Sandy: really, I am always the last ta know

(Ryan sits down at the bench)

Ryan: there's nothin to know

Trey: oh really, cause...that's not what it looked like the other night (shrugs) you comin'ta Marissa's rescue an all (Ryan looks away)

Sandy: well he's very chivalrous, not unlike a young Steve McQueen

Seth: yeah some people say chivalry's dead (shakes his head) I don't believe it

Ryan: (almost fed up) there's nothing goin on with me an Marissa (looks at Sandy)

Sandy: nothing

Trey: (frowns) really

Seth: (leans forward) Ryan

(Ryan looks from Seth, to Trey and then Sandy)

Ryan: ...we're takin it slow

(Seth, Sandy and Trey all make oohhh noises. its all over each other so I can't catch specifics, sorry!)

Seth: yyyyyeeeeeaaaahhhhh (claps, laughs) takin it slow

(Ryan smiles and motions towards himself, as if to say yeah yeah, I can take it)

Sandy: oh it's a good thing she's no longer your neighbour

Seth: that's right, its hard'ta take it slow with her next door

(Kirsten comes back in)

Kirsten: sooo, Caleb an Julie are off on their trip

Sandy: oh what're we gonna do without em

Kirsten: well for starters...housekeeper got deported (Ryan raises his eyebrow) an so there's no one to stay in the house with Marissa (Ryan listens) so I told Julie that Marissa could stay here for the week

(Sandy looks from Kirsten to Ryan, stunned. Trey looks at Ryan, enjoying it. Kirsten looks at Ryan, oblivious)

Seth: (smiles) that'll keep things at a snails pace (nods)

(Ryan looks worried)

Theme song - California by Phantom Planet

Caleb's mansion - we see it from the outside, then we see Marissa in her bathroom. she zips up a toiletry bag and walks back into her bedroom where Summer is

Summer: I can't believe you're moving in with the Cohen's

Marissa: it's just for the week, besides this way I can keep an eye on your boyfriend (smiles) (puts toiletry bag into a suitcase)

Summer: and yours

Marissa: what, I'm not dating Seth

Summer: (looks at Marissa) Coop, you know who I mean

Marissa: no, I don't cause I don't have a boyfriend (picks up Share Bear)

Summer: rrright, yeah you an Ryan staying under the same tent drove Alex outta town (Marissa puts Share Bear in her suitcase) cant - imagine what's gonna happen with you two under the same roof

Marissa: nothing will happen

Summer: (frowns) yeah nothing - will happen in this (picks up a sexy PJ top from the suitcase)

Marissa: (smiles) what? it's cute!

Summer: yeah well if you think its cute wearing something that screams (overly dramatic, softly) take me now

Marissa: look it's the middle of spring, its too hot to wear flannel PJ's (walks over to her drawer)

Summer: what's gonna be too hot is you wearing this, an Ryan seeing you wearing this

Marissa: he's not gonna see me wearing it! (picks up flannel PJs) but just incase

CUT TO: Cohen bedroom - Kirsten is on the phone

Kirsten: no I know (closes her eyes) eh...don't worry ill-ill-ill handle it, ill find a replacement...ok thanks, bye (hangs up)

(in the background Sandy has entered the room)

Kirsten: (sees Sandy) mm, oh hey honey...what're ya doin

Sandy: y'know headin inta the office (sits) start work on the low income housing initiative

Kirsten: so you're free then

Sandy: (looks at Kirsten) no (laughs) what's up

Kirsten: well you know, the OC charity yard sale that I was supposed'ta chair but cant because I'm working

Sandy: (suprised) the OC has a charity yard sale

Kirsten: well the donors get to keep half the money so it's not just for charity

Sandy: (frowns) I thought all the yards around here were gated

Kirsten: it's in a ball room...of a country club

Sandy: so a charity event where the donors keep half the profits, an a yard sale with no yard, hm (stands) so that's how they do it in the OC

Kirsten: Sandy (stands) (moves closer) I was jus wondering if you could do me a...tiny...little favor

Sandy: (looks at Kirsten, looks away then looks back) (smiles) no (Kirsten looks at him desperately) no way (smiles, laughs and walks out)

Kirsten: n- (sighs) (follows) Sandy it's an honorary chair, a figure head position, you'd be the master of ceremonies like an auctioneer an you know what an MC has

Sandy: an unfair advantage, you know the opponents weakness

Kirsten: that's right, a microphone, on a stage, with an audience, a c*ptive - audience

Sandy: and a few show tunes perhaps (turns around to face Kirsten)

Kirsten: no (smiles) you just have'ta go by the club today an say hello

Sandy: (caving) just a figure head

Kirsten: (kisses Sandy's cheek) with a mic (smiles)

CUT TO: Cohen kitchen - Seth pushes the dishes in the dishwasher. Trey and Ryan are in there still, and Sandy walks in

Sandy: hey men, I'm chairin the OC pseudo charity non yard sale

Seth: (on the way out) gee dad that is fantastic

Ryan: (also on the way out) good luck with that

Sandy: I need your help, what'ya doin

Seth: well I (looks at Ryan) never thought id be so happy to say this but Ryan an I have school (screws up his face, in fake disappointment and clicks his finger)

Ryan: eh (screws up his face and points to his watch)

Sandy: that's your excuse today, tomorrow your mine (to Trey) what're you doin today

Trey: (frowns) lookin for a job

Sandy: I got one for ya, me you...an the Newpsie's (raises eyebrows)

Trey: (frowns) what's...a Newpsie...

CUT TO: The country club - we see an aerial sh*t of the country club. then we are inside with Sandy and Trey. there are things to auction everywhere, pictures, silverware, furniture etc

Sandy: (off screen) there like vultures except (on screen) the Newpsie's like to paint their talons, actually they'd rather have somebody else paint their talons, ohp, here comes the flock right now

Joan: Sandy Cohen, right on time

Sandy: we jus stopped by to say hello, an test the mic

Taryn: (looks at Trey) oh and you brought a friend (smiles)

Sandy: yes indeed, Trey (points) meet Newport's finest (to the women) Trey came along just incase we needed a little help but I see ya don't (looks around) my goodness you guys are pro's (Trey smiles) we're gonna get outta your hair

Taryn: uh actually, it's great that your here (nods)

Joan: the moving company we hired got a flat tyre an now we have no one ta do the heavy lifting (looks at Trey)

Trey: heavy...lifting...I guess I-I (raises eyebrows) could do that

Joan: oh, thank god, follow me (Trey looks back at Sandy as they walk away)

Sandy: ill be back to pick ya up in a couple'a hours (Taryn smiles at him) I'm glad he could help out (goes to leave)

Taryn: um, Sandy (grabs Sandy's arm) the job of the chair is to choose table linens, flat ware, centre pieces

Sandy: (looks at Taryn) alright ok, ill help Trey with the lifting

Taryn: uh, we need you Sandy, you're the honorary chair it's not just a figure head position

Sandy: (disappointed) its not

CUT TO: Harbor school - we see kids outside walking around, and then we see Seth and Ryan sit down in the student lounge

Seth: let me jus paint a picture of what could maybe happen, now its late at night an your thirsty (Ryan looks away) so is she so ya meet up at the fridge (Ryan looks at him) (guy voice) hey (girly voice) hey (guy voice) you (girly voice) maybe just you, lets kiss on the mouth (closes his eyes and makes kissing motions/sounds) ok (more kissing, Ryan looks at him and frowns) (getting into it) oh lets french hard, aaah

(Marissa comes over to the couch)

Marissa: what're you doing

Seth: (quickly stops and turns around to face Marissa) hey (stands) I gotta get goin to class or I'm gonna be late

Marissa: was Seth talking about me (almost blushing) an how awkward its gonna be when I move in

Ryan: (plays dumb) you're movin in, I had no idea (stands)

Marissa: (suprised) really, cause my mom said she called Kirsten an ran it by you guys

Ryan: hm, no, no, but your movin in (raises eyebrows) that's great

Marissa: it won't be awkward, right

Ryan: pfff, is this awkward

Marissa: (thinks) no, not at all (smiles)

Ryan: great see you at home (walks away)

(Marissa walks in front of the camera and out of the sh*t - we then see Ryan walking in the hall. he walks by Seth at his locker)

Seth: hey

(Ryan pushes Seth hard in the back making him slam into his locker {it's hilarious to watch!} we hear the bang, then see the back of Ryan as he keeps walking)

Seth: (yells) don't blame me for your sexual tension

(Zach walks over)

Zach: hey Cohen

Seth: hey (shakes Zach's hand)

Zach: you know what's comin out on DVD this weekend

Seth: yeah I sure do, Elektra, an there's a reason (points) I didn't see that crap in the theatres

Zach: come on

Seth: ever since the whole comic book debacle I kinda promised Summer i'd dial it down a bit

Zach: (opens his bag) I'm in the same boat, my mom (pulls out a stack of comics) is making me donate ten'a these for the charity yard sale

Seth: dude your a martyr, that sucks

Zach: eh, anyway ill see ya around (walks away)

Seth: yeah, hey, hey, hey Zach (Zach turns back) I've got an idea, why don't I donate five'a mine, spare you five'a yours, we'll go in on it together

Zach: you'd do that

Seth: yeah, look we really should be putting comic books behind us anyways

Zach: an it's for charity

Seth: that's right, so we'll split the profits right

Zach: absolutely

Seth: alright, good stuff (hits Zach's arm with his hand)

CUT TO: The country club - Trey and Joan are in the backroom with all the stuff that is being auctioned. Trey has a large ottoman over his shoulder

Joan: easy with that, it's worth thousands of dollars

Trey: well then why wouldn't they want it (begins to put it down) seems like a perfectly good stool

Joan: it's an antique ottoman, an it's hideous. now onto the bar relief

Trey: what's this

Joan: oh, David Pastors father in-laws brother ran the prop house at Warner Brothers, it's from some Tom Cruise movie

(Trey is looking at the crystal egg, mesmerised)

Trey: this is...the crystal egg...from Risky Business

Joan: well it's not the F fourteen from Top g*n

Trey: (small smile) that is so cool...this thing must be worth a fortune

Joan: (looks at the tag) let's see it's appraised at ten thousand

Trey: (still staring at the egg) that's a fortune

Joan: (not fazed) I guess... come Trey (Trey looks up) come (motions for Trey to walk away from the egg)

(Trey follows Joan, not before looking back at the egg one last time)

FADE TO: The beach - we see the sun slowly setting and the waves crashing on the beach

CUT TO: Cohen front door - Kirsten has the door opened and Marissa is standing there with her things, ready to move in

Kirsten: welcome to casa Cohen (Marissa walks in, smiles) we're almost at capacity but there's always room for one more (shuts the door)

Marissa: well thanks for letting me stay here

Kirsten: well I couldn't let you stay in the mansion all by yourself (looks at Marissa)

Marissa: (laughs) so where do you want me

Kirsten: good question

(Marissa and Kirsten both look in the direction of the kitchen)

CUT TO: Seth's bedroom - Seth is sitting on his floor looking through comics, Ryan is lying on his bed looking at a comic

Ryan: so what're you doin with these things

Seth: (doesn't look up) making a grand sacrifice for charity Ryan, its all in a days work...when does Marissa get here

Ryan: I don't know, you want another dead arm

Seth: ...no thankyou

Ryan: I'm gonna go see if Treys back (sits up) wonder how it went (gets up)

Seth: well I didn't hear about any Newpsie knifings on the news so

Ryan: hey you wanna go a little living room re-match

Seth: yeah, yeah lets make it a three-way (Ryan looks at him) what (frowns) that came out weird (looks down) ill meet you downstairs

CUT TO: The backyard - Ryan is walking towards the pool house. he walks up the stairs and opens the pool house door, thinking nothing of it. inside we see a topless Marissa, from the back. she's holding her shirt to her chest to cover herself, and looking at Ryan over her shoulder. we can also see her tattoo just above the waist of her pants

Marissa: (shocked, turns on the side) hi

Ryan: (sees, shuts the door a little, gasps) you're not Trey (looks away, avoiding eye contact)

Marissa: mm, Kirsten moved him (looks at Ryan)

Ryan: I'm gonna go find him then

Marissa: ok (smiles)

Ryan: (looks down) right, um sorry, you know I- (frowns) if anyone should know about knocking before entering the pool house (Seth comes up behind him and walks away) (laughs) that'd be me

Marissa: (shrugs it off) nothing you haven't seen before, right

Ryan: (breathes in) right (Marissa looks at him) (realises and shuts the door)

(Ryan turns around to walk away and sees Seth standing there)

Seth: that didn't take long (motions with his head) c'mon Treys inside wearin a shirt

(Ryan looks at Seth then back towards the pool house door. we see the silhouette of Marissa, Ryan blinks then walks back towards the house and we see the silhouette of Marissa again, then she walks away from the door)

CUT TO: Cohen house, early morning - we see Ryan in bed. he has his arms underneath his head, and he looks restless. he's also showing his upper chest, and the blanket covers the rest of him. after a few seconds he sits up on his elbows and looks over at the alarm clock, it reads 6:00. we then hear snoring, he looks over at Trey who is sound asleep next to his bed, he looks at the clock again then gets out of bed and walks passed Trey

CUT TO: The pool house - we see Marissa lying in bed in the PJs from earlier, wide awake staring at the ceiling. she sits up on her elbow and realises the top button of her PJ top is undone, she looks down and buttons it up. she looks over at the alarm clock which changes from 6:00 to 6:01, we see Marissa again, she looks as though she's thinking

CUT TO: Cohen kitchen - a sleepy Ryan walks in, he rubs his eyes then opens the fridge. he pulls the milk out and shuts the fridge. he turns around and looks suprised. we then see a sleepy Marissa walking through the kitchen door, she stops when she sees Ryan

Marissa: hey

Ryan: hey (Marissa stands there, not saying anything) couldn't sleep

Marissa: me either (sighs)

Ryan: hungry (holds up the milk)

Marissa: sure (walks over to the bench)

(Ryan grabs two spoons and goes over to where Marissa is. Marissa sits up on the bench while Ryan stands next to her making them both breakfast)

Ryan: (looks at Marissa, smiles) nice PJ's (Marissa smiles) aren't ya hot

Marissa: I get cold

Ryan: (looks at Marissa, softly) ah right (Marissa watches him for a few seconds) how's the pool house

Marissa: ...uh weird (shrugs) you know the only time I've ever slept in that bed I was...with you (looks at Ryan)

(Ryan looks up at Marissa, Marissa looks back at him. we then see their hands close up. Marissa has hers resting on the bench next to her leg, and Ryan moves his hand closer to hers. his pinky just touches the edge of her hand and the lights suddenly go on. Ryan quickly pulls his hand away)

Trey: uh-hh

Marissa: (shuts her eyes and rubs them) whoa (Ryan rubs his eyes)

(a sleepy Trey watches them both)

Trey: you guys are up early

Marissa: (nods, opens her eyes) hm

Trey: hope I'm not...interrupting anything

at the same time:

Marissa: no it's cool

Ryan: uh no its fine uh-hh

Trey: jus gotta get a jump on the day (stretches) mm apartment hunting

Marissa: (gets down from the bench) hey, you know I know a place that's available

Trey: yeah

Marissa: it was my friend Alex's

Trey: you wanna check it out man

Ryan: nah, nah I cant I gotta...help Sandy with the yard sale

Trey: (shakes his head) don't mess with those Newpsie's (Marissa & Ryan smile) but hey I did my time yesterday

Marissa: well, I'm free (Ryan looks at her) I could go with you

(Trey points at Marissa then makes a thumbs up. Marissa nods)

Ryan: there you go (hands Marissa breakfast)

Marissa: thanks (goes and sits at the kitchen table)

Ryan: Trey jus so you know its cool you don't have'ta find a place

Trey: I love you like a brother, brother (Ryan looks at him) but we're too old to be sleepin in the same room (hits Ryan on the chest)

Ryan: (softly) yeah

Trey: besides, think I'm gettin in the way

(Trey leaves the kitchen and we see Marissa eating her breakfast, Ryan watches her then looks down)

CUT TO: The country club - we see the flash from a camera, then we see Seth with a polaroid camera in his hands. Ryan is standing just to the left of him. the photo spits out of the camera and Ryan takes the item off the table and puts it back where it was

Seth: alright buddy, its catch up time, since the pool house has ben occupied there hasn't really ben any privacy so this'll have'ta do (Ryan puts the ottoman on the table) have there ben any uh midnight run-ins involving say yoohoo an under-thingies

Ryan: there's nothing going on Seth (touches Seth's cheek as he walks passed)

Seth: ok, you be that way

Ryan: yeah

Seth: (holds the camera up again) alright ottoman work with me, your sexy get nasty, work with me you ottoman you little (walks backwards, the crystal egg is right behind him) that's it your a cougar, your a panther an your in the woods

(Seth bumps the table with the egg on it, ith his butt and it begins to topple over in slow motion. *slow motion* Ryan turns around and sees it going. we see the egg again falling more. Ryan looks at it, panicked. he goes to dive for it just as it falls off the stand and bounces towards the floor. Ryan catches it in his hands just in time)

Ryan: Seth

Seth: (oblivious) what (turns around) what

(Ryan gets up off his knees, egg in hand)

Seth: (laughs) hey, good save, that things probably worth a million dollars

Ryan: (reads the tag) ten thousand, huh, says it's from Risky Business

Seth: really, hey dude turn it the other way it's got a cr*ck in it

Ryan: alright got it, alright

(Seth takes a photo of the egg - we then see Sandy in the ball room with the Newpsie's)

Sandy: hello (looks around) whoa ow ladies, I-I I hate to say I told you so (points) but these centre pieces an those table cloths they-they clash, Taryn I told ya to get those linens with the hem stitch

Taryn: I-I know Sandy I know (folds up the table cloth)

Kirsten: who are you (folds her arms, smiles) an what'did you do with my husband

Sandy: well if it isn't our proud sponsor

Kirsten: I uh I brought the banner, an Carter (smiles)

Sandy: Carter

Carter: Sandy I had no idea you were so multi faceted

Sandy: ah (stops) Joan (Carter looks where Sandy is) tell me you didn't order those napkin rings (Joan looks at the rings) this is not a mob wedding

Joan: gosh Sandy I thought they were kind of fun

Sandy: no (holds his hand out) (Carter laughs)

Kirsten: uh who wants to help me hang the banner

Sandy: ask Taryn, please she's screwin up the table cloths, get her off the table cloths

Kirsten: ok (looks at Sandy then Carter and walks away)

Sandy: thirsty

Carter: yes

(they walk over to the food and drink table)

Sandy: so you an Kirsten have ben...spendin alot'a time workin together (Carter nods) long hours...late nights

Carter: Sandy you have a great wife, I'm sorry to keep her from you (Sandy nods) from everything she says, we should be friends (smiles)

Sandy: well here's to bein friends, you me... an Kirsten (they clink cups)

CUT TO: Alex's old apartment - Marissa is standing in the door way leaning against the door frame. the apartment is completely bare. Trey is checking out

Trey: (nods) so this chick jus split

Marissa: (looks down almost sadly, then looks at Trey) ...moved back to her parents, yeah

Landlord: an didn't get her damage deposit back either...so we got a decision, I got a tenant in 6A who's pipes burst, I gotta get down there before they drown

(Marissa looks at Trey)

Trey: (nods) ill take it

Trey: (thinks) uh that's three thousand dollars I...(looks at Marissa)

Marissa: uh hey you know, what if we make you a better offer, I mean you know those busted pipes (shrugs, looks at Trey) Trey here's quite handy, him with a sledge hammer (raises eyebrows) amazing

Trey: I think she means hammer but, but yeah what if I uh...became your guy (raises eyebrows) anything breaks down ill fix it

Landlord: (considers) ill call you tonight with an answer, jus leave your number

(Trey smiles at Marissa, Marissa nods. Trey writes down his number)

CUT TO: The country club - Zach comes out of the elevator into the back room where Seth is still busy photographing everything

Zach: Cohen

Seth: hey

Zach: I hear your the guy to see about the uh inventory (holds up comics)

Seth: hey um will you help me, I've gotta take pictures of all of this crap

Zach: yeah

Seth: ok thanks, alright hold it up (Zach holds the comics on top of the ottoman from earlier) more, more, more, your naughty

Zach: (frustrated) jus take the picture

Seth: you're an animal in the woods (Zach frowns)

Seth: yeah, but we're puttin that behind us now

Carter: must be hard to walk away from, your own comic (Seth takes the photo)

Zach: you weren't at the meeting, I don't think Cohen's picked up a pencil since that fateful Valentines Day

Seth: well you know I've actually ben sort of...

Zach: (suprised) you-you went on without me

Carter: how many issues do you have

Seth: uh (thinks) probably have enough for like twelve or thirteen stories

Carter: that's like the perfect amount for a graphic novel

Seth: oh I always wanted to write the uh great American graphic novel but (shakes his head and looks at Zach) we cannot (points)

Zach: (excited) yes we can, c'mon Cohen this is awesome! (looks at Carter)

Seth: I know but its not even up'ta me, you know who it's up to

Zach: who's it up to

(Seth says something then takes a photo, sorry I can't work out what he says, but it's referencing Summer)

CUT TO: Summers bedroom - Summer pulls some clothes out of her wardrobe, and Seth comes in behind her and holds her from behind

Seth: hello Summer my dearest (kisses Summer's head) mmmwa

Summer: ooook what'do you want Cohen (walks over to her bed) thought you were working at the yard sale

(Seth looks at Summer, not saying anything)

CUT TO: Cohen backyard - Sandy is cooking food and Kirsten walks over to him with a bottle of wine and two glasses

Kirsten: I hope you approve of the table cloth that I have selected for dinner (smiles)

Sandy: I really don't care about table cloths honey, I just enjoy watchin those Newpsie's (laughs) squirm, have I mentioned how much I like Carter

Kirsten: a few times, yes

Sandy: after Jimmy left I thought i'd said goodbye to my last friend, but Carter (turns around to look at Kirsten, who has her back to him) I think he's a keeper

Kirsten: (turns around) really (smiles) well, that's great (hands Sandy a glass)

Sandy: yeah we're talkin about hangin out next week, maybe get some drinks

Kirsten: well I know he likes drinks (smiles, the smile goes and she looks worried, she takes a drink)

CUT TO: Cohen living room - Ryan is lying on the couch playing the playstation. Marissa and Trey come in from the hallway. Marissa is smiling

Trey: you are looking (points to himself) at a proud new renter

Ryan: what (sits up) wow, congrats man

Trey: ill uh come up with the money...thanks

Landlord: you bet

(Trey hangs up. in the kitchen we see that Marissa was listening in. she closes her eyes and hangs up the phone. Trey stands and puts the phone down, he walks back over to Ryan and picks up the controls then sits next to Ryan)

Ryan: everything alright

Trey: yeah, jus wanted to know when I'm movin in (smiles)

Ryan: you're sure you can cover it (looks at trey) the money

Trey: oh thank Marissa, it was her idea

(Ryan smiles at Marissa, Marissa forces a smile back. Trey looks at Marissa. Marissa looks worried)

CUT TO: Cohen guest bedroom, early morning - we see the alarm clock says 6:00, then we see Ryan in bed with his back away from where Trey sleeps, after a few seconds he rubs his eyes and leans up on his elbows. the camera slowly pulls back to show that Trey isn't in his bed. Ryan looks over and sees - the next thing we see is the stairs, and we hear the door shut. Trey starts walking up the stairs, we see Ryan is sitting on them further up

Ryan: where you ben

Trey: (laughs) don't worry about me mommy (Ryan looks at him, un impressed) I was over at the new place...landlord wanted me to tape down some dry wall, do a little plastering

Ryan: (looks at Trey, un convinced) at six in the morning

Trey: (moves towardsRyan) plasters gotta dry before you paint bro (looks at Ryan)

Ryan: ...ok (goes back up the stairs)

(Trey stands there, looking as though he's thinking)

CUT TO: The pool house - we hear a knock at the door and we see Marissa making the bed

Marissa: come in

(Trey walks in smiling, holding a plate full of food)

Trey: hey

Marissa: (turns around) hi

Trey: an why he shouldn't he

Marissa: (moves towards Trey) because you lied ta him

Trey: it's not a lie (Marissa looks at him) I got friends, I'm gonna come up with the money

Marissa: (looks at Trey) I can help you

(Trey looks at Marissa, Marissa looks down)

Trey: you've done enough, an I don't need anyone else here worryin about me, I've got it

Marissa: alright...but you should know if you do anything stupid, it's really (raises eyebrows) gonna hurt Ryan

(Marissa leaves and Trey watches her)

CUT TO: Seth's bedroom - on his bed are trading cards and sticks of gum spread out. Seth and Zach are in there together

Zach: so what d'you got

Seth: our new hobby

Zach: baseball cards

Seth: there really cool, they come with gum an there worth (frowns) like all sorts'a different amounts (Zach frowns) but each month they go up an down in value like the stock market (nods, smiles) (Zach looks at him) they come with gum

Zach: you talked to Summer didn't you

Seth: I dipped a toe in the comic book pool, it was icy Zach it was subzero

Zach: so that's it, all that work your never gonna show anyone else, because of a girl

Seth: she threatened to k*ll us both (puts gum in his mouth) while we sleep

Zach: ...give me one'a those pieces'a gum (points)

(the next thing we see is Zach and Seth coming down the stairs. Zach is holding a stack of the baseball cards. we hear the doorbell)

Zach: (frowns) who's Kurt Shilling anyway (hands card to Seth)

Seth: I don't know...dude I like his uniform though, could I have this one

Zach: (nods) ah-huh

Seth: thanks (puts the card in his pocket)

(Seth opens the door and Carter is standing there)

Seth: hey, my mom already left for the pseudo charity non...yard sale

Carter: well actually I came to see you guys, my old assistant is the VP of development at a graphic novel company (Zach looks at Seth) I arranged a meeting

Seth: (looks at Zach, Zach nods) (screws up his face) ssssssssssssss no, I'm sorry now lets go (points) Zach your drivin (to Carter) thankyou so much though (walks outside)

Zach: (shuts the door and follows Seth) Seth...do you realise what he's saying

Seth: yes he's offering to k*ll my relationship with Summer

Zach: he's offering us a second chance

Seth: (thinks) I promised

Zach: t-technically your not doing anything wrong, you said you only floated the comic - book by her (Seth listens) not a graphic novel!

Seth: (sighs, closes his eyes) they have nicer paper (Zach smiles) so technically

(Zach looks at Carter excited, Seth looks as though he's caved)

CUT TO: Caleb's mansion - we see the outside of the house, then we see Marissa in the basement looking through different bits and pieces. Summer comes down to help her

Summer: (off screen, yells) Coop!

Marissa: (off screen, yells) I'm in the basement

Summer: hm well no t*rture chamber down here, lost that bet...so what're we looking for anyway (screws up her face)

Marissa: uh it's for the auction (lifts cloth) I- (frowns) I need money for Treys security deposit (brushes her hands together)

Summer: hm, interesting stuff huh

Marissa: mm-hmm

(Summer lifts up a cloth revealing a gorgeous antique tea set on a platter)

Summer: hm is that pure silver (Marissa looks over) (picks up a piece) hey, yeah see that mark right there (frowns) that leopards head with the W E (Marissa looks at her) wow it means made in London by William Eaton (thinks) circa eighteen seventy six I think (looks at Marissa, puts it back down) could be worth a couple grand

Marissa: (looks at Summer) all that Antique Roadshow really paid off (smiles)

Summer: (smiles) hm

CUT TO: Cohen house - Trey and Ryan are both dressed up in suits getting ready for the auction. Trey is standing in front of a mirror trying to tie his tie, in the reflection we can see Ryan behind him and he notices Trey having trouble {this scene is very similar to the one in the Pilot when Ryan has trouble with his tie and says he wants to go open collar, Sandy doesn't take no for an answer and fixes it for him!}

Ryan: (turns around) hey (moves closer to Trey) come here (moves in front of Trey) c'mere (Trey puts his hand up defensively) hey, I've become quite the expert, seems like I put one on every week

Trey: (puts his hand up) its ok man I don't need your help

Ryan: yeah ya do (looks at Trey) (Trey lets go, reluctantly) (smiles) your gonna hang yourself with this thing (Trey sighs) there lets see, alright (ties the tie) you know these formal things they...seem like there gonna be pretty boring but uh...usually somethin crazy happens (smiles) keeps it exciting

Trey: oh yeah

Ryan: yeah, alright, there you go

(Sandy comes in)

Sandy: (smiles) I am impressed

(Trey pulls his collar down over the tie, Sandy looks at Ryan then Trey. Ryan watches Trey. Sandy tugs on Treys tie a little, straightening it out)

Sandy: nice (smiles) (looks at Ryan then Trey, then puts his hands on each of their shoulders) ready ta rip off some Newpsie's

CUT TO: The country club - we see it in an aerial view. then we see inside the ballroom. there are people sitting at the tables and wandering around

Joan: Kirsten

Kirsten: (smiles) hello Joan

Joan: we never see you anymore

Kirsten: I know I've ben really busy with work (smiles) thankyou

(Joan walks away. Marissa and Summer come in, Marissa is carrying the tea set from earlier and they are both dressed up)

Marissa: (smiles) hey

Kirsten: (sees the tea set) Marissa where'd you get that

Marissa: (looks down) oh uh I found this in the basement with all of this other old junk my moms getting rid of, I better get in there (smiles)

Summer: (smiles) you look beautiful

Kirsten: oh thankyou

(Kirsten watches them walk away, she seems to recognise the tea set - we now see Seth and Zach standing together, near all the stuff to be auctioned)

Seth: look when you think about it, our own graphic novel (Summer comes up behind them, but they don't realise) that's like ten times cooler then the comic book ever was

Summer: hm, you guys bringing back the comic book

(Seth and Zach turn around to face Summer)

at the same time:

Seth: no, absolutely not

Zach: goodness gracious no

(Summer looks at them)

Seth: it's a graphic novel, its totally different (holds a shield in front of himself for protection {lol})

Summer: oh oh ok (nods) so there's no Kid Chino or no Cosmo Girl, no the two of you working together ruining our friendships

(Seth and Zach look at each other and frown)

Zach: I guess it isn't that different

Seth: (looks at Summer) look I promise it won't be like before

Zach: an we, already kinda said yes

Seth: yeah but jus to a meeting

Summer: (picks up a sword) oook (points the sword at them both) any trouble (grins) hm, no more graphic novel, no more comics, no more me (holds out her pinky) pinky swear

Seth: (lowers the shield) ok

(Zach and Seth touch their pinkys with Summer's, Summer looks at them and raises her eyebrows - we then see Marissa walk over to where Ryan is, she's got the tea set still)

Marissa: hey, last minute addition (holds up the tea set)

Ryan: oh yeah (sighs) thanks ill jus take it in the back an tag it (looks at Marissa) um... thanks again for helpin out my brother (Marissa looks at him) I...I appreciate it, seems like things are goin pretty good, right

Marissa: yeah um, well I'm gonna go see if they need help inside, ill see ya in there (walks away)

(Ryan goes out the back to put the tea set with the rest of the items. we see a statue looking thing that has Seth's photo with it {as in the one he took, not one of him,lol} and the number 216 on a tag. Ryan puts the tea set down next to this item then looks around the room, he stops and looks down. the camera moves to show us what he's looking at. it is a photo and a tag but no item to go with them. Ryan picks up the photo and looks at it. it's of the crystal egg from earlier. Ryan looks away and over at other items that have photos with them. he looks down again to where there is just a tag sitting in place of where the egg was. he looks down at the photo again then looks as though he's thinking)

Ryan: Trey (looks away)

CUT TO: Outside the country club - Ryan walks up to Marissa who is talking to some girls

Marissa: (to Ryan) hey (to the girls) ill see you in a bit (to Ryan) what's up

Ryan: (holds up the photo) there's this glass egg from Risky Business (Marissa looks at the photo) it's probably the most valuable thing here an now it's gone

Marissa: (looks at Ryan, realises) Trey didn't...

Ryan: yeah, yeah I think he did (Marissa looks away) why would Trey steal anything though I mean (smiles) everything's goin great, right

Marissa: (closes her eyes, shakes her head) no (Ryan looks at her) no he lied, he didn't clear the background check on the apartment

Ryan: (looks down, then at Marissa) why didn't you tell me

Trey: cause I told her not to

(Ryan and Marissa look over at Trey standing near the door. Trey begins to walk closer to them, and Ryan moves closer to him)

Ryan: (softly) so you stole it

Trey: I didn't steal it (Marissa looks at him)

Ryan: don't lie to me Trey (puts his hands on his hips)

Trey: ...what'does it matter (Ryan looks at him) these people think this stuff is junk

Ryan: how could you do this man, after everything the Cohen's have done for ya (Trey looks at him) everything Marissa's done for ya (Trey looks away) (softly) cant you think'a anyone but yourself for five minutes

Trey: I wasn't thinkin about myself I was thinkin about you, that's why I wanted to get the money so I could jus get outta everybody's way

Ryan: well now your gonna be, cause your goin back'ta jail (goes to walk away)

Trey: (puts his arm out) wait, stop (Ryan looks at him) I could still get it back (Ryan looks at him) (sighs) I've got the money (holds the money out)

(Ryan looks at the money, then at Trey. he doesn't take it)

Trey: man, please

Ryan: (takes the money) you've done enough (raises eyebrows) ill go

CUT TO: The ballroom - Sandy is up on stage with the microphone. everyone is sitting at tables in front of him

Ryan: (considers) no more comments about me an Marissa

Seth: you an who

CUT TO: The auction - {this is almost all without sound so ill just describe what you see} Zach puts down a world globe. Marissa and Summer look at each other then smile at the crowd. an old guy puts his hand up to bid. Sandy points at him and says something. Marissa smiles at the crowd then she and Summer put their hands on an indian looking statue. Sandy points towards the crowd and says something. a man in the crowd puts his hand up, then a woman puts her hand up. Sandy points and says something. Summer holds a dress on a coat hanger up against her, showing it off and Marissa helps make it look appealing. a woman puts her hand up.
