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)

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 captive - 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

Trey: (frowns) what's...a Newpsie...
CUT TO: The country club - we see an aerial shot 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

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)

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 shot - 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 Gun
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 crack 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)

Joan: gosh Sandy I thought they were kind of fun

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

Carter: how many issues do you have

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: 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 kill us both (puts gum in his mouth) while we sleep
Zach: ...give me one'a those pieces'a gum (points)

Seth: yes he's offering to kill 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

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: (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

(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)
