Opening scene - Cohen family room - the first thing we see is the TV, on the screen is a 2 player game (there is a split screen) I cant tell what it is but it seems like shoot em up. we then see Seth and Ryan sitting on the couch together with controllers looking very engrossed in the game. the camera then shows Summer who is not so thrilled with them playing the game, she looks bored as hell and is looking at her hair in her hand with a frown
Summer: Cohen, the Brown interviews like in eleven hours (holds hand out) don't you think you should be prepping for it
Seth: nope, I've got a new approach ta interviews its called don't think about it
Summer: well I guess that's better than your last approach
(Sadie comes in from the kitchen carrying snacks. Ryan gets distracted by her)
Ryan: (looks) hey, what's all that like, oh (looks at Seth)
Sadie: (puts food down) little half time buffet, pretzels, ding dongs, ? (sits next to Seth) tryin'a mix it up
(Seth and Ryan scoot down to make room for Sadie)
Seth: that's always appreciated, Ryan you ready for a rematch
Ryan: oh do we have'to
(Summer doesn't look thrilled with the idea of watching Seth and Ryan play more, poor thing. she rests her chin on her hand and looks at them)
Sadie: I thought I called winners
(Ryan and Seth look at Sadie. Seth laughs almost patronisingly. Ryan smiles and shakes his head a little. Sadie raises her eyebrows at Seth keenly)
Seth: no offense I jus don't think you should (Ryan shakes his head) (looks at Sadie) step inta the ring with me
Summer: yeah before Ryan an I came Playstation was pretty much his best friend
Sadie: (takes the controller out of Seth's hands) come on, one game Seth
Seth: my controller
Summer: (sighs) Ryan will you come get drinks with me please (stands)
Ryan: yes (stands)
(Ryan and Summer head to the kitchen together)
Sadie: kay you ready
Seth: that's my lucky controller
(Sadie smiles and sits back on the couch. then we are with Ryan and Summer in the kitchen)
Summer: so, Atwood, seems like your really moving on
Ryan: uhh yeah trying to
Summer: (takes cans from the fridge) well I promise, no weirdness from me, I mean Coops my best friend but I've also (frowns) accepted the fact that...you an Marissa (screws up face)
Ryan: not really meant to be
Summer: which is why it's good that you've found the opposite of Marissa
Ryan: you really think Sadie is Marissa's opposite
(Ryan and Summer come back into the family room)
Sadie: (pushes a few buttons, grins) and game - over
(Sadie sits back on the couch and smiles/laughs. Seth just looks stunned at being beaten)
Ryan: whoa dude you got killed already
Seth: I'm humbled (looks at Ryan) man I am humbled an mortified (Summer laughs)
Sadie: its ok I can't take all the credit (puts controller down) I found a cheat code on the internet
(Ryan raises his eyebrows and looks over at Summer, Summer looks at him at the exact same time)
Seth: Ryan this ones a keeper man
Summer: (whispers to Ryan, motions with head) anti Coop
Seth: who knew my new Playstation idol would be your new girlf (quickly stops himself) your new
(Ryan raises his eyebrows at Seth. Summer looks at Sadie and Seth uncomfortably)
Seth: alright like a
Sadie: (looks down) friend
Seth: friend, girl, friend (shrugs)
Summer: nice save
Ryan: yeah I'm I'm
Sadie: (frowns) I think friend is the word
(we hear the doorbell)
Ryan: (points) I'm gonna get that
Sadie: nice dodge (smiles)
Ryan: thanks
Seth: friend was the word I was lookin for
(we see Ryan heading towards the door. when he opens it a blast from the past is standing there, only she is a little less s*x kitten and a little more girl next door looking. its Jess Sathers aka Treys old girlfriend, if you could call her that,lol)
Jess: Ryan (smiles)
Ryan: (shocked)...Jess
Jess: oh good, you recognise me
Ryan: even with the new look
Jess: (looks down at herself) yeah, kinda came with the new life (Ryan avoids eye contact with her) listen I bought you something (takes it out) it's a belated birthday present, from your brother
(we see a small wrapped present in Jess' hand. Ryan looks from it to her)
Ryan: you still keep in touch with him
Jess: yeah (looks down) I lived with him out in Vegas for a while...jus got back a few months ago (Ryan nods) (holds out present) here
Ryan: (takes present) thanks (goes to close door)
Jess: (puts hand on door) don't you wanna know how he's doing
(Sadie comes over)
Sadie: hey
(Ryan smiles when he sees Sadie, it seems like he's relieved)
Jess: Ryan, if you wanna talk, you know where I live
(Jess leaves. Sadie looks at Ryan. Ryan looks a little thrown by everything)
Sadie: who was that
Ryan: nobody (shuts door) uhh (frowns) lets jus go back inside, ok
Sadie: (heads back to the family room) come on your up next
(Ryan looks down at the present in his hand, he turns it a few times then we see a close up of his face)
Theme song - California by Phantom Planet Pool house, next morning - Ryan is sitting on the bed with the present from Trey in his hands, he takes the rubber band off and then the wrapping and he sees a toy car, you know like the matchbox ones. he turns it over and looks at the bottom then closes his eyes and looks up then back down at the car and then suddenly over towards the door just as Seth comes in
Seth: hey
Ryan: hey
(Seth nods at the toy car and takes it from Ryan)
Seth: now I know Treys not made'a money or anything but (sits in the chair) he could've at least sprung for a shirt or somethin
Ryan: it's an inside thing, long story
Seth: I like long storys (looks at Ryan)
Ryan: (raises eyebrows) too bad (stands) I don't feel like telling this one
(Kirsten comes to the doorway)
Kirsten: uh breakfast is ready in the kitchen (notices the car) oooh I haven't seen one of those in years (Seth looks at the car then hands it to her) d'you remember when your dad an I use'ta buy these for you, couldn't for the life of us get you to play with them, where'd you find this anyway
Ryan: Trey (Kirsten looks at him) a friend of his dropped it off
Seth: you remember Jess (Kirsten looks at him) charming girl who took too much X an floated face down in a pool
Ryan: yeah she moved to Vegas with Trey an they lived together
Kirsten: well how is he, is he ok
Ryan: (shakes head, looks away) I don't know, figured he's outta my life...why get back into it
Kirsten: (smiles, looks down uncomfortably) well, breakfast is ready
(Kirsten hands the car back to Seth and leaves. Seth puts it down on the side and then we see a close up of Ryan who is looking a little lost right now, poor guy)
CUT TO: Julie's trailer - Marissa is spread out on the couch reading, she hears a noise outside and goes to the door. we see Volchok trying to leave something just as Marissa opens the door. Volchok stops and looks at her, almost guiltily
Marissa: what're you doing
Volchok: thought you'd be at school
Marissa: (leans on the doorframe) so you were jus gonna lurk around my house while I wasn't home
Volchok: came to drop somethin off (holds out brown paper bag)
(Marissa looks at Volchok skeptically as she takes the bag from him and then looks inside. Volchok looks at her. Marissa pulls out the watch that she gave him in 307 in exchange for leaving Ryan alone)
Marissa: (looks at Volchok) I thought you were gonna sell this (Volchok looks at her) this watch was really expensive
Volchok: no I uh (raises eyebrows) I decided to hang onto it
Marissa: an now your giving it back (Volchok almost smiles) well there's a suprise twist, thanks (Volchok looks at her) anything else (Volchok starts to smile)...look I jus wanna be alone right now
Volchok: yeah yeah (nods) no yeah you look busy (smiles) listen I'm gonna be at the beach (shrugs) tonight, maybe ill see you
Marissa: don't count on it
(Marissa leans out and closes the door. she looks at the watch again)
CUT TO: Harbor school - Summer is pacing near lockers, she looks nervous about something. next to the lockers further down a door opens and Seth comes out. Summer looks over
Seth: uh no you're the man sir, ok ill see ya soon

Summer: me, there'll be left over Thai an the Blade trilogy
Taylor: (screws up face) oh (gasps, concerned) oh, oh I didn't realise that you an Seth had (looks around, softly) lost the magic (Summer looks at her) I'm suprised you didn't come to me sooner you must be panicking
Summer: (defensively, hand on hip) um ok I didn't come ta you, an (raises eyebrows) why would I panic
Taylor: well it looks you two are going to college together, don't you worry that Seth's eye will wander (Summer squints) all the nubile young co-eds, you (points) the familiar old shoe
Summer: um ill have you know Taylor that I am like five levels hotter than him (raises eyebrows)
Taylor: Summer, the libido does not listen to logic, at this age men are driven by a reptilian force (looks at Summer wide eyed, almost creepily, softly) spread the seed (opens hand at Summer) spread the seed (again) spread the s- (again)
(Summer looks at Taylor, clearly creeped out. she grabs her hand)
Summer: Taylor, if Seth an I go ta college together we will be just fine an ill have you know we have a very healthy s*x life (leaves)
Taylor: w- then super (calls) you have fun tonight, but Summer if you ever need to girl talk you know-
Summer: bye Taylor

Sadie: (sits) I needed a break from the dry walling (Ryan looks at her) (smiles) your still inta toy cars

Sadie: I think I'm gonna choose ta find that cute instead'a creepy

Ryan: eh Jess is just a friend'a my brothers (Sadie looks at him) id tell ya the whole story but
Sadie: but you'd just rather not (frowns) (Ryan looks at her) that's cool (nods) but just know that if you do decide to tell me I will listen, an without judgment (Ryan looks away) or you can keep it all to yourself, both are fine with me

Sadie: ok, I'm gonna get going
(Sadie grabs her bag and leaves. Ryan keeps looking down)
CUT TO: The Newport Group - Sandy is writing at his desk and we hear a knock at the door. Sandy looks up and we see a man standing in the doorway

Henry: the board called an impromptu meeting yesterday it seems there's been some complaints about your associate (looks at Sandy)
Sandy: complaints
Henry: rumours, partys at his house, booze, gambling (shrugs) god knows what else, boards not sure they wanna do business with him
Sandy: (thinks, frowns) well ill talk to him, make sure he cleans up his act
Henry: this is not about a slap on the wrist Sandy we want him off the project
Sandy: Matt worked his ass off on this deal I (shakes head)...I couldn't take him off it
Henry: (stands) then I'm afraid we can't go forward with the hospital
Sandy: (stands) you gotta be kidding me
Henry: take a few days, mull it over (Sandy listens) remember Sandy this hospital could change everything for you, d'you really wanna give it all up for one twenty six year old hot shot

(Ryan looks down thinking)
CUT TO: The lifeguard tower - we see Marissa in her usual spot, sadly staring out at the ocean. Marissa looks at the watch that Volchok gave her back, she's wearing it on her wrist. she looks down at it then grabs her cell phone, she opens it and we hear a beep and then we see a flashback. its of when Volchok went to Marissa at the lifeguard tower in the end of 317
Volchok: so you called
the flash back ends and Marissa looks down at the end of the ramp, no one is standing there for her this time, aww. she looks harder as if maybe she has seen something but then she closes her eyes and smiles before standing up and running down the ramp
CUT TO: Matt's apartment - we hear a knock at the door and see Matt inside, he goes to open the door. Marissa is standing there
Matt: Marissa
Marissa: hi

Summer: well I thought tonight was about celebrating (shrugs) your interview
Seth: it is, hence the trilogy (sits next to Summer)
Summer: you know (Seth sighs and puts his feet up) (moves closer to Seth) we could forget the movie, go upstairs

Summer: (sniffs) mmmm, you smell so good
Seth: you like the smell of salami
Summer: (looks at Seth) Cohen
Seth: what I had a salami sub I feel like its lingering
Summer: oh you know what just forget it
Seth: forget what
Summer: (shrugs) I was trying ta create a mood
Seth: I know, I know that now I was jus thrown off a little bit by your approach (smiles)
Summer: nuzzling your ear an complimenting you I wasn't exactly reinventing the wheel
Seth: well normally you jus throw me down an do your thing (Summer looks at him, frowning) (tries to grab Summers waist) but I can adjust
Summer: (pushes Seth away) not interested
Seth: Summer
(Seth closes his eyes and leans forward, subtly sniffing Summer, he also makes a weird expression. Summer looks at him, frowning)
Seth: mmmmm (raises eyebrows) you smell good too
Summer: (scoffs, unimpressed) press play before I break your face (looks at the TV)
Seth: fine
(Seth grabs the remote and presses a button)
CUT TO: Ryan in the car - he has his cell phone up to his ear and we hear this message
msg:
Sadie: hey its Sadie, leave a message
Ryan: (stops the car) hey, so I know your painting but its Friday night, I'm makin you take a break (takes off seatbelt) ill be there in twenty minutes ok, bye
(Ryan hangs up and gets out of the car. we can see that is parked out the front of Jess' mansion. we see him heading towards the door then the shot changes and we see Jess inside heading towards the front door, which Ryan is now standing at. Ryan forces a smile, Jess opens the door, happy to see him)
Jess: hey Ryan (smiles) I was just about to take a swim, come on in
(Ryan looks at Jess, sighs and then goes inside)
Ryan: look I can't stay long
Jess: but you couldn't resist getting the lowdown on your brother (shuts door) guy has a way of sucking you in (Ryan blinks) I know, drink (starts to walk away)
Ryan: just tell me, is he ok

Ryan: Jess
Jess: (stops, looks at Ryan) jus stay a little while (Ryan isn't sure) I have alot more to tell you about Trey
(Jess keeps walking up the stairs, as she does she takes her pink robe off revealing a 2 piece bikini. we see a close up of her back side, then we see her from the front, looking sure of herself. then we see a close up of Ryan watching Jess, then he looks away)
CUT TO: Pool house, next morning - Ryan is punching his punching bag, the first few punches are slow, he jabs twice with his left hand then once with his right, the next hit is a little harder and we can now see he is sweating. he jabs again with his left then he does a hard punch with his right hand, we then see a flash back of Trey being wheeled on the stretcher, the night Marissa shot him. Ryan hits his head against the punching bag then jabs softly with his left hand, he does another semi hard hit with his right hand and we see another flashback. this one is of when Trey stole the Camaro and Ryan is with him, they crash it because of the police chasing them. Ryan punches harder again with his right hand, then harder still with his left, we see another hard punch with his left hand and another flashback. this time its of when Trey made a scene at the store in 217 because the manager wanted him to open his bags and Trey was offended by it, this then changes to when Ryan punched Trey at his apartment the night of the shooting in 224. we see Ryan punch the bag again, three times with his left then once with his right and then another flashback. first it's Ryan and Trey crashing down on top of Treys coffee table, again from 224 then it's the precise moment the bullet enters Treys chest and fly's out of his back. Ryan punches again with his left hand then we see a close up of Treys bloody, shocked face, its the bit before he turns to look at Marissa. this changes to Ryan sitting beside Treys hospital bed and Seth is leaning on the wall, its from 301. Ryan punches left right left right hard and fast then we see another flashback. the police car is next to the Camaro, then this changes to Trey pointing the gun at Ryan, then its of Trey and Ryan hugging when he first got out of prison in 217 and then we see Ryan punch again, he is looking really upset now. another flashback, it's of Trey sitting on the bus with his eyes closed from the end of 301, we see the bus pull away and Ryan standing there watching it go. Ryan punches 3 more times, hard, it goes right left right then he notices Kirsten watching him in the doorway. Ryan is literally dripping with sweat now he takes a few deep breaths
Ryan: music too loud
Kirsten: (yells) no it's just the grunting an (Ryan turns the music off so she talks normally) excessive (smiles) banging that I'm concerned about
Ryan: (smiles) sorry (grabs towel)
Kirsten: you ok
Ryan: (sighs) yeah, yeah (sits)
Kirsten: (walks in) girl problems
Ryan: (thinks)safe bet usually but no actually this is more complicated (looks down)
Kirsten: is it that girl Jess again
Ryan: yeah (looks at Kirsten) an my brother, jus tryin'a prevent another casualty of Trey
Kirsten: so you're trying to save this girl
Ryan: is that something I do (smiles)
Kirsten: (moves closer) look we love Marissa an she's family (shrugs) and she means alot to us but she's been through so much an you got pulled inta that
Ryan: yeah well some'a that was my fault (Kirsten looks at him) but your right, your right I cant argue with it
Kirsten: you should never argue with a woman who's here to discuss women (Ryan looks at her) have we mentioned that we love Sadie (smiles) she's smart an she's grounded
Ryan: (shakes head) an I am trying, trying (smiles) not to screw it up
Kirsten: jus because a girl isn't tied to some train tracks (raises eyebrows) doesn't mean that she should be ignored
Ryan: I know I know its jus Jess is tryin'a put Trey behind her, start a new life
Kirsten: great, as long as she doesn't get in the way of yours
(Ryan nods)
CUT TO: Matt's apartment - we see Marissa in the kitchen making herself a coffee in PJs and hear a knock at the door, she goes to open it. Sandy is standing there and he's beyond suprised to see Marissa and not Matt
Sandy: Marissa
Marissa: ...Sandy (Sandy looks at her confused) look I know its weird I slept here, but I jus didn't feel like being in the trailer by myself
Sandy: if you need somewhere to go you can always come to our house
Marissa: (closes eyes) I-I know you guys are like family...it's just that these days
Sandy: (nods) things are difficult with you an Ryan I get that, but you don't belong here

CUT TO: Jess' mansion - Ryan is at the front door and Jess opens it. Ryan walks in and Jess looks around a little before she closes the door. it seems like she's worried about someone being around
Jess: (worried) did you see him
Ryan: not yet, how many times has he come around (frowns)
Jess: started a couple hours ago, he's been calling too
Ryan: an when'd you end it

Ryan: look man she doesn't wanna see you
Jim: (looks at Ryan) who the hell are you her bodyguard
Ryan: no but ill kick your ass if you take one step further (blinks, means it)

Jess: (looks up) he's gone

(Ryan nods and heads towards the front door, before he gets there he notices a photo of Trey sticking out of Jess' purse. Ryan looks back in the direction of where Jess is and then we see Jess with a blanket over her, still on the couch. Ryan pulls out the photo of Trey and looks at it, he frowns and looks to the side then back down at the photo, then puts the photo back. the next thing we see is Ryan walking back into the room that Jess is in)
CUT TO: Jess' backyard, next morning - Ryan comes outside and Jess is already out there

Ryan: well what about your parents where are they
Jess: well my dads in Tokyo on business an my moms at the spa aka in bed with her tennis instructor, so as you can see I don't have much to distract me, unless you wanna give it a try
(Ryan looks away, Jess smiles at him)
Ryan: look I can't stay here an babysit you what about your girlfriends at USC

Ryan: call em, invite em down, jus take a breath (stands)
Jess: Ryan ill try but (shrugs, worried) what if I freak out

Sadie: you don't have'ta protect him Seth (smiles) its fine honestly I'm not jealous, I'm jus not really sure that Ryan an I are right for each other
Seth: (looks at Sadie) because
Sadie: ...because he jus seems ta have alotta really intense issues
Seth: yeah well intense issues seem ta follow Ryan around
Sadie: well I don't really know if I'm up for that right now
Seth: well listen, I think Ryan really likes you an I think if you hang in there you two will eventually settle into a uh (shakes head) super laid back boring ass relationship (Sadie listens) but you gotta cut the guy some slack because he just got out of a two year drama fest with Marissa an the one time that he tried to date someone normal, she turned out to be my dead grandfathers illegitimate daughter so, you know how that goes
Sadie: (squints) right yeah of course, of course I know how that goes (Seth looks at her) d'you think you could do me a favour an not tell Ryan that we talked (Seth looks at her) I assume you know how to keep a secret

Seth: we're not in any trouble, (sits at the table) at least that we've acknowledged to each other
Taylor: (points to Seth) that is exactly why I brought you here today, communication (looks at Summer, Summer frowns then looks at Seth) intimacy (Seth frowns and looks from Summer to Taylor) these are two skills (points to both) that you two could improve upon (hits the table) now, I am not a licensed s*x therapist but (holds up finger) my father was an before he ran away (Summer squints) he use'ta conduct these sessions with real couples in our basement

Summer: Cohen (Seth stops half standing) put your hands on me, now
(Seth blinks and then sits back down)
Taylor: come on it'll be fun
(Seth leans towards Summer and Summer leans towards Seth. Seth just puts his hand randomly on Summers face, you can imagine how he does it,lol his first finger is right next to Summers eye and his thumb is under her chin and kind of scrunching up Summers cheek/mouth. Summer rolls her eyes)
Taylor: Summer
(Summer puts her hand near Seth's elbow on the arm that is touching her. Taylor is standing in front of them both so we can see Seth and Summer side on, and Taylor's head between them)
Taylor: good, ok now I want you to concentrate on your eye contact, get lost in each others gaze
(Seth and Summer look into each others eyes but unfortunately there is not much chemistry happening)
Seth: mmm getting lost, I'm getting lost
(Summer looks at Seth and moves her eyebrows a little, because of where Seth has his hand the side of her mouth is curled up a tad which adds to her expression of almost boredom)
Taylor: as you gaze into each others eyes, do you feel stirrings (hopeful) deep (raises eyebrows) in your loins
(Seth squints at Summer, Summer squints at him both trying to feel something. Seth opens his mouth wide, Summer looks at him hopeful)
Seth: (lets go of Summers face) no I don't really feel anything
Summer: yeah I got nothing
Taylor: not even the faintest spark (Seth looks at Summer) a tiny flicker
Summer: what'does it say about us
(Summer and Seth look at Taylor)
Taylor: (matter of factly) well (shakes head) I also do break up counselling

Volchok: but I'm here now

Marissa: (looks at Volchok) really what makes you say that
Volchok: you're lonely
Marissa: (looks away then at Volchok) right (raises eyebrows) well thanks for the analysis, I feel much better (goes to walk away)
Volchok: (steps in front of Marissa) no look, if you need a break from everything goin on in there (points to Marissa's head) I could help
Marissa: (closes her eyes, almost sadly) I think I'm doing just fine on my own (leaves)
(Volchok turns to watch Marissa leave)

(Ryan nods and Jess puts her arms around his neck upset. Ryan sighs)
Ryan: it's alright (Jess cries on Ryan's shoulder) (sighs) its ok
(Jess starts kissing Ryan's neck and touching his hair)
Ryan: (closes eyes) Jess, Jess (tries to pull away) Jess
(Jim Jess' ex boyfriend comes in and sees her all over Ryan)
Jim: hey

Jim: movin on already is that what this is

Ryan: you wanna talk outside
Jim: (clenches teeth) yeah (leaves)
Ryan: lock the door
(Jess and Kim look at Ryan, Ryan leaves and slams the door shut behind him - back outside we see more random people drinking, dancing, having fun then we see Jim and Ryan facing each other beside the pool)
Jim: so what you're seein her now
Ryan: she's just a friend'a my brothers
Jim: not that guy Trey
Ryan: look (looks at Jim)
Jim: what your here to take your brothers left overs
(Jim punches Ryan in the face, hard. he swings again but Ryan ducks. Jim goes for Ryan again but Ryan manages to pin him on the ground, Ryan is sort of sitting on top of him and holding him down at the chest)
Ryan: now listen'a me, you gotta stay away from this girl she's tryin'a start over you gotta let her

Taylor: helloooo (smiles)
Seth: Taylor I really don't want to talk to you about my s*x problems with Summer
Taylor: ok ok (holds up hands)so the intimacy exercises were a miserable failure but I don't think you should lose hope
(Taylor rolls a chair over to Seth's bed and sits in front of him. Seth is now sitting on the edge of the bed so they are facing each other)
Seth: why d'you have some sort of secret cure
Taylor: (points) as a matter of fact I do (brings hands together) its called raunchy s*x (Seth looks away) now now (holds up hands) you don't see me as a sexual being Seth I mean I get that (nods) but without revealing too much (Seth looks at her) if s*x were a martial art (Seth screws up his face) (proudly) I would be a black belt

Henry: what makes you think I would do that
Sandy: business (looks at Henry) our plan is the best one you know that, makes me wonder about the board though that they'd scrap a lucrative project over something like this, it makes no sense from a business perspective but (looks at Henry) maybe its personal (Henry looks at him) this is about Maya, isn't it
Henry: she cried for days over him
Sandy: I'm sorry Henry (looks down, frowns) but you didn't have'ta lie to me
Henry: I'm just a father looking after his daughter

Summer: you know we should make a pact (swallows) if we go away to college together we should like fight like everyday (smiles)
Seth: I'm pretty sure I can make that happen
(Summer laughs and looks over at Seth. Seth looks at her and then they both pull the covers over their heads. we hear Summer giggling and then we see the covers moving about and finally their feet sticking out of the end intertwined together, aww. we also see the Kama Sutra book lying cover/back cover up at the end of the bed)
CUT TO: Johnny's house - we see Ryan lower Sadie onto the floor while they are still kissing this fades to a shirtless Ryan helping Sadie take her top off then we see shirtless Ryan lower Sadie back down onto the floor in just her bra and jeans. this fades to a close up of them kissing, then Ryan kisses Sadie's neck, then that changes to a close up of Sadie's bra/chest pressing against Ryan's bare chest. then we see Sadie with her hand on Ryan's back just above the waist of his jeans, she also has her leg wrapped around his and they are both still in jeans
CUT TO: Julie's trailer - we see Marissa walk up onto the verandah and Volchok is sitting at the table smoking, it seems like he was almost waiting for her. Marissa walks straight passed him and into the trailer and she purposely leaves the door open. Volchok puts his smoke out, blows smoke out of his mouth and then goes inside and closes the door behind him. the next thing we see is Marissa and Volchok in each others arms urgently kissing. Volchok has his hand on Marissa's waist and Marissa has hers on the side of Volchok's face/neck, that shot quickly changes to Marissa helping Volchok off with his shirt then that changes to a shirtless Volchok pushing Marissa against the wall of the trailer and they are still kissing. that changes to Marissa taking her top off, then we see Marissa in just her wife beater and Volchok pushes her up against the counter while he helps her take it off, so now she is just in her bra. she runs her hands through his hair and they are kissing pretty intensely. Volchok has his hands on Marissa's waist and she has hers on his shoulders. Volchok runs his hands up Marissa's back then we see him with his head between her breasts, she still has her bra on. then we see a close up of Volchok with his head just under Marissa's shoulder and she has her hand on his head touching his hair, then we see Marissa looking a little out of it while Volchok kisses her arm, then we see a close up of Volchok kissing her bare stomach. then we see he has his hand on her back directly below her bra strap, then we see a shot of Volchok looking up towards the ceiling and Marissa with her hands through her own hair, then we see Volchok kissing Marissa's neck while she has her head back and finally the last shot we see is Marissa with her arm around Volchok's neck and her mouth is wide open with her eyes closed
