Ryan: you really think its cause'a you

Seth: well I mean we broke up she went back east she had a great time she comes back only ta see me standing on a coffee cart declaring my eternal love for Summer

Ryan: well maybe she jus doesn't feel that comfortable here, not everybody does

Seth: I know, I get that but if it is cause'a me...maybe I can talk her out of it except for the fact that I cant ask her if its cause'a me without sounding totally self absorbed but i'm not self absorbed right Ryan me, me

Sandy: just outta curiosity, what kinda deal were you gonna offer him

Hodes: curiosity?

Sandy: yeah, mild

Hodes: (laughs) ok if he were to cooperate, let us know who signs his marching orders...we'd considering pleading him down to a lesser charge

Sandy: unless...the plaintiff decides ta drop the charges in which case Shaughnessy would have no reason ta talk

Hodes: except the plaintiff has no reason'a do that, right (Sandy swings his club) let me tell you something Sandy, the Newport group is Orange County's Enron, you make this just a little bit difficult for me an I will come down on you as hard as I can

Sandy: oh wow, this must be a reelection year

Hodes: oh spare me, you an I 've ben friends for years, that's probably why Caleb Nichol hired ya but it use'ta be Sandy Cohen's moral compass wouldn't point him anywhere except the direction of truth, no matter who he took down

Ryan: (blown away) you uh wow

Theresa: (nods) I had some help (smiles at Marissa)

(Marissa smiles and looks at Ryan)

Summer: Coop (grabs Marissa's arm and they walk off)

(Ryan and Theresa look at each other, camera pans to Caleb who is getting photos taken by himself.

Caleb: (walks over to Seth) c'mon Seth get in the picture, you are the future of the company

Seth: oh there's somethin'a look forward to (smiles awkwardly)

Luke: you look so hot

Julie: (smiles) not here Luke behave

Luke: I know it's just...your ass (Julie smiles)

(we see them from behind, Luke touches Julie as he walks away, Julie turns around and sees that Jimmy is standing a little away from her. he looks at her and she turns away. Caleb is standing over at the grill with a group of men, Sandy walks over)

Caleb: (to guys) excuse me guys, thanks

Sandy: I saw the DA today, it didn't go what I would call well

Caleb: I thought he was a friend of yours, you use'ta make deals all the time

Sandy: well it's an election year, it seems your not to popular with the people

Caleb: (scoffs) that's the best you could do, I need to go an make my toast

Sandy: ill make this go away but your gonna have'ta give something up, Joel Mcuin is gonna need ta be the chief lumber supplier for the next big Newport group contract (Caleb smiles) you wont be buyin wholesale...but it'll work

Caleb: I knew I could rely on you (holds his hand out for Sandy to shake)

Sandy: not if you were man'a the century

Caleb: whats'a matter Sandy, you cut deals for your clients all the time

Sandy: yeah well usually there the ones that'a broken the law...not me (Caleb laughs)

(Kirsten looks around and sees them together, a woman comes up to Caleb)

(Sandy watches not happy, Kirsten watches Sandy. everyone gathers around for Caleb's speech)

W: (in the background) ladies an gentleman it is my sincere pleasure

(Jimmy stands next to Julie)

Jimmy: hey Jules

Julie: James

Jimmy: you know forgive me, this - cant - possibly be happening right I mean i'm-i'm crazy...to even think it right (Julie looks at him)

Julie: think what

Jimmy: ok that's what I thought because it would - destroy - Marissa...an I think we both know she's ben through enough

Julie: honestly Jimmy I don't know what you're talking about (Jimmy looks at her)

(everyone claps, Caleb is up on the podium)

Caleb: thankyou, thankyou it really is a tremendous honour, few publications better represent this great county of ours then Riviera magazine (clapping)

(we pan to Jimmy and Julie standing together, then Eddie coming through the front door - back outside with Ryan and Theresa)

Ryan: i'll be right back i'm gonna give Seth his letter (walks off)

Theresa: o-ok ill be here tryin'a spot the chin implants

(we see Eddie coming towards the back door)

Caleb: (in the background) where as my story has its own cast of characters (Marissa looks over & sees him, she looks worried) one doesn't become Riviera man of the year without some help (Eddie is now outside amongst the crowd, Marissa looks over to him, frowning) where would I be without my wonderful family (points) my beautiful daughter Kirsten, an my favourite- well my only grandson Seth, come join me

(Seth makes a 'do I have to' face but gets up reluctantly. Eddie walks over to Theresa)

Theresa: what're you doing here?

Eddie: (softly) I just wanna talk to you, cant you listen

(Ryan sees and rushes in their direction. camera goes back to Caleb who now has Seth and Kirsten by his sides)

Eddie: lets go somewhere an figure this out (grabs her arm)

Theresa: (pulls away) i'm not going anywhere-

(Ryan tries to pull Eddie away from Theresa)

Eddie: you stay the hell away from me ok you're lucky I don't kick your ass right here (to Theresa) look can we please just go (grabs her again)

Theresa: let go!

(Ryan tries to get Eddie away again, Eddie turns around and punches Ryan, Ryan falls into a table of food which crashes to the floor - everyone screams - Seth and Kirsten look worried, Caleb closes his eyes as if he's mortified by it - Jimmy turns around to see what happened - Luke Summer and Marissa are standing together, they all look worried - Ryan gets up off the floor and runs at Eddie knocking him onto a table that was holding drinks, glass smashes and everyone gaps)

Caleb: what the hell is going on (Kirsten & Seth lean forward worried)

(Ryan and Eddie are standing again, they both knock into a servant, and he ends up on the floor. Ryan and Eddie are on the ground kinda of wrestling each other - Luke goes over to them - Eddie stands Ryan up and punches him which sends him flying into the pool - Luke comes up behind Eddie and grabs him, Jimmy and Sandy are also standing there)

Sandy: why don't you leave right now before the cops get here alright?

Eddie: (yells to Ryan) your dead!

(Ryan is in the pool)

Sandy: right now!

Eddie: (still yelling) don't ever come home, your dead you hear me, get offa me man (Luke lets him go)

(Sandy goes to the edge of the pool, Ryan is still in the pool just floating there - Theresa looks upset - Ryan still in the pool)

CUT TO: Cohen living room - Ryan has an ice bag on his eye and he's sitting in a chair, Kirsten and Theresa are sitting on the couch near by and Sandy is sitting on the end of the coffee table

Sandy: oh that's gonna be quite a shiner, but hey (taps Ryan's leg) they look good on ya

Ryan: yeah? thanks

Theresa: (upset) i'm so sorry, about everything

Kirsten: oh its ok sweetie, it's not your fault

Sandy: hey I heard there was a rumble in the bedroom, i'm gonna go (stands) break it up (he and Kirsten leave)

(Ryan and Theresa look at each other, Seth and Summer come in)

Seth: you ok?

Ryan: (sighs) eh

(Seth and Summer are both sitting where Sandy was

Seth: (sighs) I cant believe Anna didn't show

Ryan: eh actually um (takes the now soggy envelope out & hands it to Seth)

Seth: your jus giving me this now

Ryan: I was a little distracted

Seth: (looking at it) (panics) the inks all smudged, I can't even read it (walks to the kitchen, Summer follows) is that a V or a Q? (to Summer) here, here look right there, first that says 'I love you' but then what is that word right there 'Azerbaijan' Aztecs'?

Summer: asprin

Seth: you think it says asprin

Summer: no, you're giving me a headache

Seth: ok coincidence, confucius, what is this C word

Summer: confusing?

Seth: you think it says confusing

Summer: (frustrated) no you're confusing me, what'do you care what it says

Seth: Summer Anna couldn't even say goodbye ta me alright an I think she's leaving because'a me, I don't want it ta happen

Summer: what is going on, last week your standing on a coffee cart declaring your eternal love for me, now your all like 'Anna's letter, I cant read it'

Seth: Summer, this isn't like that ok, she's jus my friend an I don't want her ta leave

Summer: then go...stop her

(Seth kisses her on the forehead and leaves the room. Ryan and Theresa are talking in the living room)

Ryan: so what're you gonna do?

Theresa: I need ta call Eddie...try an straighten everything out

Ryan: its gonna be ok

(Seth rushes in)

Seth: hey man uh i'm sorry ta interrupt I need you to drive me to the airport, I gotta stop Anna from leaving

Ryan: what you can't drive yourself

Seth: dude i've had like 3 glasses of champagne ok, you know how it goes straight ta my head, please

Theresa: you should go, he needs you

Seth: thankyou very much (rushes off)

(Ryan and Theresa stand)

Ryan: you're uh you're gonna be at the motel when I get back

Theresa: (nods) I don't want you to be late

(Ryan leaves, Theresa watches with a sad look on her face. Back outside, Julie is standing by herself and Caleb walks over)

Caleb: hey Juju (kisses her on the cheek) I was wondering if you were gonna ignore me all night

Julie: you seemed busy...congratulations

Caleb: thanks for coming, can I drive you home

Julie: I can walk down the driveway

Caleb: can I call you...take you out on a real date, things have gotten a bit crazy an I know I didn't appreciate you, I want to. I wanna make you feel appreciated

Julie: plan the perfect date...run it by me...we'll see

(Caleb smiles, Julie smiles and walks off, Caleb watches her go)

CUT TO: Ryan and Seth in the car driving to the airport, Seth is panicking

Seth: come on man, her flight leaves soon

Ryan: i'm doin 75 in a 65 alright

Seth: (girly voice) i'm doin 75 in a 60- (normal) everyone knows 80's the new 75

Ryan: what? who talks like that!

Seth: what is up with this a.c, my jewfro's frizzin out I look like Screech

Ryan: the a.c's fine

Seth: what is this music?

Ryan: (had enough) do - not insult Journey, alright

{side note, its interesting to see that Seth is on the giving end of what Summer did to him way back in 107:The Escape, the 2 scenes are almost identical except Ryan was nice enough not to kick Seth out of the car,lol}

CUT TO: Jimmy's house - Marissa answers the door and it's Theresa

Marissa: hey...how are you

Theresa: just embarrassed, I can't believe it this huge fight at a fancy party

Marissa: actually not the first time that's happened

Theresa: hm here (hands her the dress) um i'm not gonna have time ta get it dry cleaned before I go

Marissa: (shocked) before you go?

Theresa: i've ben fooling myself thinking this was gonna be easy...I made a huge mess of everything and (shrugs) I have this whole life ta figure out an so so does Ryan so...take care of him, ill see you (leaves)

(Marissa is speechless)

CUT TO: Cohen bedroom - Sandy is in there getting ready for bed and Kirsten comes in

Kirsten: I talked ta my dad, he told me what you did

Sandy: (nods) obstructed justice...tampered with a witness

Kirsten: so what happens now?

Sandy: my guess is not much, since it's an election year the DA can't afford ta lose an without their start witness they don't really have a case, if your gonna go after the king, Caleb...then you had better know that you can kill the king

Kirsten: I told you that I didn't want you ta get involved

Sandy: I will always do what's before for my family

Kirsten: i'd rather go ta jail than be responsible for you being mixed up in this, getting inta bed with my father

Sandy: I promise ya, i'd rather send you ta jail than get inta bed with your father

(Kirsten smiles and sits next to him)

Kirsten: you do something like this, there's no going back

Sandy: yeah, its kinda like prom night...believe me, if anybody's gonna be puttin you in handcuffs...it's gonna be me (smiles)

(Kirsten laughs and puts her head on his shoulder, Sandy puts his arm around her)

CUT TO: Ryan pulling up outside the airport. Seth jumps out and runs for the door, he grabs a pamphlet from a monk guy and throws it on the ground inside. he stops just inside the door and looks around urgently. he runs towards the security bit

Seth: (yells) Anna!

(Anna looks over and sees him)

Seth: Anna wait!

Anna: (smiles) Seth? (to the security guy) hold on (runs over to him) Seth what're you doing here

Seth: (breathless) ok maybe...its jus the champagne talking but i'm jus gonna say it ok. please do not leave because'a me

Anna: (confused) what, what are you-

Seth: (pulls out the letter) look you love me, I read it an I get it ok an i'm so sorry if I did anything ta hurt your feelings or cause this but I don't want ya ta leave ok none of us do

Anna: Seth! I love you...as a friend

Seth: (swallows) what?

Anna: god I love you as a friend

Seth: it doesn't say 'Azerbaijan' (Anna shakes her head)

Anna: (teary) look I think your an amazing guy, a little self absorbed maybe (smiles) ...but great, but I mean if there's one thing that our relationship taught me it's that...we don't have alotta chemistry

Seth: so you're not leaving because'a me

Anna: i'm leaving cause I need ta leave (Seth nods) but who knows, maybe one day we'll be perfect for each other (shakes her head) I don't know (Seth looks at her, sad) I do know I have to go'ta Pittsburgh...i'm lonely Seth, I thought I could make this my home but I cant...thanks for coming... (touches his chin) an saying goodbye

(Seth nods, Anna hugs him, they both close their eyes and hold each other tightly. they stop hugging and look at each other, Anna lets go of his hand and begins to walk back to the security bit)

Seth: (teary) Anna wait a second (walking to the glass) what am I gonna do without you huh who am I gonna play Jenga with. your so wise in all your sage wisdom, what am I gonna do without that (shakes his head)

Anna: (crying) confidence, Cohen

(Anna begins to walk away, she looks back at him then continues walking. Seth stands at the glass crying)

Seth: (bangs) Anna!

(Anna turns back and smiles, Seth looks at her, Anna smiles again still teary and walks towards the boarding bit. Seth puts his nose on the glass and shuts his eyes {he looks so lost here, poor guy} Anna continues walking and she disappears in the crowd. Seth watches her go, he is devastated)

CUT TO: Mermaid Inn - Ryan and Seth pull up in the car

Ryan: ill be right back (gets out)

(Seth is sitting in the car, still sad. Ryan looks through the window of Theresa's room and a woman is in there vacuuming, all of Theresa's stuff is gone. Ryan walks away - Ryan and Seth are now sitting on a bench somewhere eating pizza)

Seth: what if the girl i'm spose'ta be with jus went back ta Pittsburgh

Ryan: what if she went back ta Chino

Seth: (playing) why would Anna go ta Chino (Ryan looks at him) i'm kidding come on

Ryan: nice one...well, at least we have each other

Seth: actually I have Summer now...but uh ill put a little Seth-Ryan time on the books, that's quality time

Ryan: thanks buddy, I could always hang out with Luke, what'do you think he's doin right now?

Seth: um discovering fire? hunting an gathering? shaving his chest with a buck knife, you guys could do that together

Ryan: I do do that
