The O.C. (2003–2007): Season 1, Episode 19 - The Heartbreak - full transcript

On Valentine's Day, everyone is preparing for the Valentine's singles benefit dance. Luke has a new crush: that being Marissa's mother Julie. Meanwhile, Sandy gives Seth some sex advice over his dating of Summer. Theresa Diaz, an old friend Ryan's, shows up in town as part of the catering services for the benefit, which forces Marissa to lay her feelings on the table that her breakup with Ryan may have been a mistake. Also, Seth and Summer take their friendship to another level.

Previously on The O.C.:
I can't do this anymore.

I don't trust you.

Oliver's not stable.
He's dangerous.

Oliver hasn't done
anything to Marissa

except be her friend.

You guys
may not believe me.

No one believes me.

- Marissa.
- Ryan Atwood.

So, you two are...

We grew up together.

Always had a crush on you.



You should go.

I'm not going to stand here

and pretend like I'm
your girlfriend when I'm not--

at least, not anymore.

Put the gun down.
You get a second chance.

I'm sorry.
You were right.

It's okay.
It's okay.

Oh! Happy Valentine's Day!

Someone just got struck
by Cupid's arrow.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day
is not till tomorrow, sweetie.

You're not excited.

I am. I'm just, uh...

still thinking about Oliver
with that gun.



Yeah, I know.

Who knows
what could've happened?

But it didn't, and Dr. Kim

lifted Ryan's suspension,
so the best thing for everyone

is for everything to return
to normal, and in this house,

that means celebrating
the holidays.

Valentine's Day
is not a holiday.

Rosh Hashanah--
that's a holiday.

Memorial Day,
yes, a holiday.

You know who invented
Valentine's Day.

- St. Valentine.
- Hershey's and Hallmark.

If you're single, it's
to make you depressed.

If you're lucky
to be in love

start shelling out chocolate,
flowers and lingerie.

You never bought me lingerie.

See how upset you're?
I hate this holiday.

Dad must be talking
about Valentine's Day.

I am indeed.
I hate the holiday.

Hey. You got me.

Guess who got shot
by Cupid's arrow?

Is someone going overboard
with this holiday?

Like you're one
to talk.

Christmaskah, anyone?

Well, at least
that's a real holiday.

Tell her, Dad. It's two.
Seth made that word up when he was six.

It's one of the most
important things.

This is an important holiday.
It's Valentine's Day.

Festival of lights... Love,
hearts...

Where Judaism fuses

with Christianity, okay?
Do the math.

How you doing, kid?

Ah, you know.
Okay, I guess.

Well, you're
about to be great,

because tomorrow is the big
Valentine's Day Singles Gala,

a benefit for Newport
Memorial's Heart Department.

Big party. You guys
are gonna dress up.

Everyone's going
to be there

just like normal, huh? Yes!

I'm gonna go.

( piano and acoustic guitar
strumming gentle melody )

we started from *

( bell rings )

( indistinct voices )

Ryan. Hey.

Hi.

Um... were you able
to sleep at all?

Not much.

Me, either.

I just keep thinking about it.

Yeah, yeah, well,
he's in the hospital,

so hopefully,
he'll get better.

I hope so...

'cause I'm ready for everything
to just go back to normal,

the way it was.

Great.

So, uh, Valentine's
Day... tomorrow.

Yeah, uh-huh.

What were you
going to do?

'Cause I didn't know
if you wanted to...

Yeah, no, Kirsten's
hosting this singles dance...

For the hospital.

I-I told her I'd go,

'cause I didn't know
if you wanted...

Of course.

Right, well, then,
uh, I'll go, too.

Who knows?

Maybe we'll, uh,
meet somebody there?

Yeah. Who knows?

Alright, I should...
I should get to...

Yeah. No. Me, too.

Come on.

Hey, Summer.

God, Cohen, you
made me mess up.

I'm going for
the high score.

Hey, it's good
to see you, too.

Um, tomorrow's
Valentine's Day.

Oh, really?
God, you know,

I didn't know tomorrow
was Valentine's Day,

but, hey, thanks
for reminding me.

Have fun with Anna.

Anna's in Pittsburgh
for the weekend.

On Valentine's Day?

Hey, now that's commitment.

Actually, Anna and I
broke up...

( low pitched beep plays )
...and I just

wanted to see what you were
doing maybe tomorrow.

Uh-huh.

So, you guys broke up?

Yeah.
And-- coffee--

You're single now,
and you want to know

what I'm doing
for Valentine's Day.

Yeah.
Mm.

So, Anna dumps you,
and you think you can choose me,

and I'd still be
interested in you?

Okay, first of all, what makes
you think that Anna dumped me?

Never mind.

Second of all...
kind of, yes.

Yeah. No. No way.

I'm not going to be
your sloppy seconds, ass face.

I'm busy.
I'll be at the singles dance.

What do you
know-- so will I.

I don't care.
Great. I'll see you there.

Not if I see you first.

Hopefully we'll
both meet someone special.

Oh, yeah, maybe, as long
as his name isn't Cohen.

Oh... oh, snap.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Crusading for the
rich and dysfunctional

is extremely time-consuming.

Let me just dot my "I"s
and cross my "T"s.

Aw, come on, I'm starving.

I've been thinking about
crab cakes, the last hour.

Will you be around tomorrow
to help with the setup?

For what?

For the Valentine's Day
Single Dance Gala thing.

No, I can't do it, sweetie.

I've got this petty
nuisance lawsuit.

In fact, I'm pretty booked
this weekend,

so I might be a little late
to the Valentine's Day Dance

Singles Gala, Singles...

Singles Dance Gala.

Why?

We said we were
going to go together.

It's restaurant stuff.

I've got the zoning inspectors
coming by

before we can expand the deck.

On Saturday?

I guess these city council guys
are really busy.

No. I forbid it.

You what?

With whatever wifely authority
I have vested in me

on this most holy
and romantic of days, no.

It's only a holiday.
It's not even a real holiday.

Not this again.
Not on an empty stomach.

How about Arbor Day?

Trees-- that's
a good cause.

Or Secretary's Day?
Or how about our anniversary?

Which we might
not make it to.

You know you'll have so much
more fun there without me.

No. You're going.

Sandy, this is important to me.

There's a lot of things
that are important

to me that you don't do.

Like what?
Like golfing.

Lots of couples golf together.

Shortly before dying
of old age.

Surfing.
How many times

have I tried to get you
in the ocean?

With the fish?! Ugh!

And still I'm patient,
I'm forgiving.

You're joking.

I patiently put up
with your father.

You're eligible for sainthood
any day now.

I forgive your snoring.

I do not snore.

Oh, yeah, you do,

like a freight train
roaring through the house.

You wanted to do this
restaurant, I supported you.

You wanted to go into private practice--
who had your back?

I put up with your father.

You never want to do anything
that I like.

Everything's a fight,
everything's an argument:

my life, my job.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
and I'm still here.

Don't do me any favors!

I won't!

Fine!
Perfect!

What are we fighting about?

I am not sure,
but it's serious.

You're on your
own for lunch.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Hey, kiddo.

The plasterer came
to the restaurant today,

made a total mess,
but progress is being made.

How was school?
Mm, okay.

Yeah?
Hey, you got something.

It was left for you at the door.

Hmm.

Well, it's not ticking,
so it can't be from your mom.

"Hope you're not too lonely
this Valentine's Day.

XOXO, Your Secret Admirer."

Marissa... you're so sweet.

You didn't have to do that.

I didn't.

Well...

Who else would've left
something nice?

That is a good question,

but this year,
I'm doing my best

to avoid Valentine's Day
completely.

What, you and Ryan are...?

I don't really want to talk
about it, and neither does he.

Well... it is Valentine's Day.

Sometimes
the big romantic gesture

is more effective
than talking.

Whoa.

There's no way your mom
gave me these, right?

No. She doesn't make
her disdain for me a secret

much less her admiration.

Well, have you kissed anyone
recently?

ANNOUNCER ( on TV ):
Previously on The Valley--

( knocking on door )

I'm busy studying... naked!

SETH:
Is that supposed to keep me away?!

Cohen?

You're in my house.

And you are dressed.

I wonder who's
more disappointed.

Um...can I come in?

No.

Thanks.

What are you doing here?

Who is this?

No one.

( high voice ):
I'm not no one.

Princess Sparkle.
What do you want?

I think she's just
Captain Oats' type.

Well, you tell him to keep his hooves off!
And as for you...

Before you kick me out,

can you just please give
me a second to explain?

Okay, listen, Summer...

it's not like... like now
that me and Anna broke up,

I'm now choosing you...

Okay?

'Cause the whole reason
that we broke up

is 'cause for me...

it's always been you, Summer.

It's always been you,

and I've tried to fight it,
and I've tried to deny it,

and I can't. I can't do it.

You're undeniable.

Cohen?

Yeah?

Do you happen to...

to have... you know...

Oh.

Yeah, I do. In my wallet.

I was beginning to view it
as a, uh...

sort of a rabbit's foot
for good luck only,

but that's...
You're about to get lucky.

* Hello, Sunshine

Whatever you say, Summer. Yes.

Yes.

* Come into my life

* Hello, Sunshine

* Come into my life

Luke, hi.

Hi, Mrs. Cooper.

What are you doing here?

Uh...

Did you know...?
I-I was wondering,

did-did Marissa bring
her Bio textbook home?

Marissa doesn't live here
anymore, Luke. You know that.

Right. I must have forgot.

Uh-huh. Right.

Okay, well... goodnight.

Uh... tomorrow, um,
is the Valentine's Day party.

Are you gonna go?

'Cause I'm going to go,

and I thought
if you needed a ride...

Actually, everything that's
happened with Caleb and me,

I think it's best I stay home,
avoid this holiday.

Yeah. It's just another day
of the week, right?

Okay, um... goodnight,
Mrs. Cooper.

Goodnight.

So... that was sex.

Yep.

I'm going to go.

Me, too.

But you live here.

I meant downstairs.

Oh. Okay.

Perfect.

( knocking )

Hi.

I love you so much.

We've waited a long
time... to, you know,

and I thought maybe

we could start
Valentine's Day early...

No, wait, wait, hold on.

What? Don't you want to?

No.

No, I mean, yeah...
yeah, of course, but, uh...

with everything that's
happened, it just, uh...

just seems a little soon.

I just wish it
hadn't happened,

that we could still
be like we were...

and I just wanted
to make it up to you.

You don't have to do this.

No. You're right,

so, um, I guess
I'll, uh... go,

'cause this is just really...
Wrong.

I was going to say embarrassing,
but I guess wrong works,

so, it was nice
to see you,

and I guess I'll, uh...
see you again tomorrow.

Hey, buddy.
Got some big news.

I was about to go
to set up for the party.

- Aren't you coming?
- It's a whole lot of lifting.

It's not really my thing.

And I don't know if I
just mentioned this,

but I have some big news.

Yeah, so I heard. What's up?

Well, Ryan, I'm a man now.

And not just like an
after-your-bar-mitzvah man,

but a man man.

I had sex with a girl.

Summer, to be more specific.

How was it?

I had sex.

That bad?

No, not that bad.

It was... just
kind of weird.

Ooh, weird.

Yeah, but not kinky-weird,
more like weird-awkward.

But hey, you know what?

It was my first time,
she's a more experienced woman,

that's to be expected.

And I did make some faces
in the middle

that I wish that I could
take back, but I can't,

and there's also
sort of a whiny noise

that came out
towards that end.

Probably wasn't my finest hour,
and I sucked so bad.

I was like a fish
flopping around on dry land.

Ryan, I was Nemo
and I just wanted to go home.

Well, don't worry about it.
You'll get another chance.

Yeah, that's the thing though.
I'm not sure that I will.

The situation with Summer's
murkier now then it was

before the awful fish sex.

I wouldn't refer to it
as "fish sex" ever again.

That's a good point.

That's something that I was
hoping to get a little more of--

Tips, tricks
of the trade.

I think Summer's used to driving
a higher performance vehicle.

I don't know if I'm the guy
to talk to about

romance these days.
Why, what's up?

Oh, me and Marissa,

it's definitely different now,
post-Oliver.

Yeah? You want to talk about it?

Nah, I should get over
to set up.

Hey, so, do you have any tips
or words of wisdom for me?

Do it again.

That's what I was afraid of.

And then we both
just decided to wait

'cause, you know,
we were really tired.

Well, you know how it goes.

I wish we had waited.

What? Who?

Me and Cohen.

We had sex.

Wait, what?!

You guys did what?!

I've been with you an hour.
How did this not come up?

Must've forgotten.

( sighs ):
Okay, so I lied.

Things last night
with Ryan went terribly.

I think he hates me.

He doesn't hate you.

He turned down sex.

He might be on to something.

Hey.

You can't beat
yourself up over it.

No one knew that Oliver
was going to turn out

to be such a looney tune.

Except Ryan,
and I didn't listen.

( sighs )
I don't know.

Maybe we just weren't
meant to be together.

Maybe we're just chasing
after the wrong boys.

Hello.

So, how long will
this continue?

You've ruined
my favorite holiday

so, until Valentine's Day
is over,

we have nothing
to talk about.

Alright.
Hey, Dad, are you busy?

I'm just enjoying
your mother's company.

Awesome.
I need to talk to you.

What's going on?

Nothing.
Just need to talk to you.

Uh... girl stuff.

Well, you've come to the master.

( laughing )

Hey, I got you.

I was young,
impressionable and drunk.

Only child, right here.

( doorbell rings )

I'll get it.

I need a little fresh air.

Well, I never thought
that I would have to...

say this, but I think that we

need to have "the talk."

Now?

It's going to be as hard
for me as it is for you.

Hey.
Hey.

Happy Valentine's Day.

( gasps ):
That's what I like.

A little holiday
spirit around here.

Thanks.
Sure.

Mmm, I love these.

You know what
they're called?

Forgotten kisses.

And you know who used
to make these? Hailey.

Hailey?
Mm-hmm.

Huh. How's she doing?

You heard from her at all?

Uh, no,
and I don't expect I will

'cause when she left,
she left angry.

I mean, who knows.

She's probably in
Southeast Asia or New York.

Quite the globetrotter.
Sometimes.

One time we thought
she was in London

and it turned out that
she was on her friend's boat

just down here
in the harbor.

Boat, huh?
Mm-hmm.

Wow.

Well, did-did you, uh...

you know, did you...?

wear a... a protection.

Oh. Oh, my God, yes.

( sighs ) Oh, my God,
yes. I don't believe

you asked me that.

Well, I'm sorry, but I had to.

It's so good that you did.

If you're going to have sex,
you've got to be responsible.

Yes, responsible and awkward.

Oh, well, that's
to be expected.

It is?
Yeah.

See, that's what I thought.

Hey, listen, you were lucky
to be able to hang in there

after all that foreplay.

Fore what now?

Foreplay.

Oh, uh,

yeah, you know, um... massaging,

you know, or, um...

You know, nibbling the neck...

Look, here's the point.

Just 'cause
you're ready to go

it doesn't mean she is.

I'm always ready to go.

Well, you're my son.

We Cohens are
very sexual beings.

Oh, my God. Virile.

Get used to it.

That's disgusting.

Foreplay, huh?

Oh, I'm telling you.

The appetizer is as good
as the main course.

Oop. Just swallowed
a little bit of throw up.

I'm going to pretend that we
never had this conversation,

but thanks, Dad.

Hey, Seth. Seth.

So, you mind my asking,
who'd-who'd you, uh,

who'd you sleep with?

I mean you got so many
girls these days.

Summer?

Oh, you dog, you.

So, man,

how's everything
with you and Marissa?

She coming to the party tonight?

I don't know. 50-50.

What about her mom?

Think she's coming tonight?

I have no idea.

I'm just trying to get
a head count for the event.

Whoa, whoa. Oh, sorry.

Ryan.

Theresa.

Uh, what are...?

Uh, hi.

You always had
a way with words.

Are you, uh, are
you working here?

Yeah.

I figured what better way
to celebrate Valentine's Day

then serve pate
to a bunch of rich people.

Oh, these are your friends
and neighbors.

Sorry.

It's good to see you.

( knocking on door )

Cohen, what are you doing?

I need to talk to you.

About what happened.

You remember the... sex.

I'm trying to forget.

Right. Right. That's
actually why I'm here.

See, I feel you didn't get
your money's worth last night.

If you make a "bang for your
buck" joke right now, you're gone.

No jokes. There should
be nothing funny about...

what goes on right here.

You want another shot?

That's what I'm saying.

( mid-tempo
pop-rock song plays )

* Oh, summertime

Pretty good.

Not as slobbery as yesterday.

Ooh.

Mm, a little tense,
little tense.

Ow! What are you...?

What's up with the
Vulcan nerve pinch?

For a little massage.

* ...all aging with cracks,
which way and how far? *

Okay.

( laughs ):
No. You're totally tickling me. Stop.

Shh.

Stop.

I'm stopping.
I'm stopping.

( blowing )

Okay, what the hell
are you doing?

Just a little something
that I like to call foreplay.

No, uh-uh.

No.
I knew not to listen to my dad.

Not that I listen
to my dad,

'cause I would never talk
about that stuff with him.

You know what I'm saying.

No more talking,
Cohen.

* Hello, Sunshine
Whatever you say, Summer.

RYAN:
So, now he's in the hospital.

Probably be there
a while.

Wow, that's unbelievable.

No wonder you're
so pissed off.

Yeah, I'm not.

Sure you are.
I'd be.

Your best friend
didn't believe you,

the people you live with
didn't listen to you,

and your girlfriend
didn't trust you.

When you put it that way...

Sorry, it's none of my business.

No. No, it feels good
to talk about it.

I haven't really
with anyone else.

* Since we had reason
left to smile *

* Hello, Sunshine

Hey.

Luke didn't know
if you'd...

Hi, Marissa.

Theresa.
Thanksgiving. We...

Uh, yeah. Yeah, no, I remember.

I'm helping cater
the event.

She's a caterer.

Oh, well,
that's really great.

Uh, so, I guess
I'll just talk to you tonight?

You'll be here?

Yeah.

And so will you.

Yeah.

Okay. Bye.

I should get back, too.

Yeah, see you tonight.

Thanks.

Sorry.

( door opening )

( sighs )

One day, when I'm reflecting
back on my life,

I think I'm going to
remember these chats

before the big events
as my favorite times.

What's this one about?

What did you do to your eye?

Oh, it's just a
little bit blurry.

Summer poked me in
it with her big toe.

What? Why?
I don't know, man.

It was an accident.

There were limbs everywhere.

I'm lucky I can still see.

So you guys did the deed again.

Technically, yes,
but it wasn't pretty.

I think
I suffered a spinal injury, too.

Maybe next time you should wear
a helmet, mouthguard.

I don't think
there's going to be a next time.

Not after this latest
debacle.

I think it might be over.

And what sucks
about that, though,

is that I know
I have so much more to give.

- I don't need to know that.
- Fair enough. What about you?

You want to skip the event?

No, I would, but there's
someone there I want to see.

Just an old friend.

Hey, if you want to skip it,

I would be more than happy to,
believe me.

I don't want to go, either.

Great.

But I have to.

Ryan's ex
is going to be there.

She's a caterer tonight.

And you want to what, spy?

Not exactly.

Yes.

Look, I don't know, Sum.

I don't know
what's going on between us.

And now this girl's going
to be there.

Hug?

Are you limping?

Yeah, Cohen kneed
me in the leg.

Why?

Must have read it
in the Kama Sutra.

Oh. So you guys had sex again?

If you can call it that.

There were, like, limbs...

everywhere.

Love hurts.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Um...

You a cop?

Am I...? No. Uh...

No. I'm just looking
for someone who's,

um, who's staying here.

Jimmy.

Hey, Hailey.

( laughs )

Okay.

Interesting company
you keep there.

You tracked me down.

I'm impressed.

Well, look,
those cookies were so good

that I couldn't let you leave
without giving me the recipe.

I mean, it's definitely going
to be on the menu

of my-my new restaurant.

Your new restaurant?

Yeah, as a matter of fact,
I was wondering if you...

if you wanted to be the...

the first customer.

I'm, you know, sort
of experimenting

with some dishes,
and I thought maybe,

you know,
you could be the guinea pig.

( laughs )
Okay.

Let me go get changed.

I'll be right back.

( laughs )

( indistinct conversation )

SANDY:
...thought maybe a couple months

was all they could last.

Take care.
I'll see you soon.

Alright.

Hey, if I teach you guys
anything,

don't ever get married.

I've heard that
from you before.

Oh, you'll
hear it again.

I'll be
at the bar.

No sign of our opponents.

Yeah.
You ready to go?

Yeah, since before
we got here.

Hi, guys.

Hi there.

Want some
of this, uh...?

Actually, I have no idea
what this is.

Odds are: mushroom link,
crescent crab and brie philo.

Usually is.

Seth, this is
my friend, Theresa.

Oh! This is
your friend, Theresa.

Hi. How are you?
Hi.

So, I'm gonna go with...
That's her.

That's her?

She's hot.

For Chino.

No, she is.

She's beautiful and nice

and smart and funny.

And did I mention
they've been friends

forever?
Only a few times.

They did musicals together.

And went to the winter dance.

Ryan did musicals?

She was Peppermint Patty.

Ryan was Snoopy.

( heavy sigh )

( slow, jazzy tune plays )

( sighs )

God, I hate
Valentine's Day.

I don't know why we celebrate
anything around here.

My dad didn't show up, huh?

Nope.

So I'm going to go home
and run a warm bath

and either slit my wrists
or drink a bottle of wine.

Wine. Definitely.

Good thing Caitlin's
at a sleepover.

I'll be blasting
Bob Seger tonight.

We'll keep our windows closed.

Bye.
Bye.

* ...steal a plot
from an old movie *

* You can tell
what inspired him *

* Or anything he loves

* He's out the door,
well, I won't miss him *

* I have got
better things to do *

Can we just...

start over?

Start over?

Hi, I'm Marissa.

You go to Harbor, right?

I know what you're
trying to do,

and...

I can't.

I'm sorry.

Um, can I...

Can I talk to
you for a second?

Look, if you want
another shot, I really...

No, no.
Believe me.

I get it.

Uh, clearly,

something's
not working.

And it's me. It's fine.
It's my fault.

What are you trying to say?

I don't know.
Maybe in a few years.

You know what I mean?
I'll be, uh...

I guess I'll be ready for you.
I don't know.

But, uh,

in the meantime,
I think I'm just going to...

I'm just going to bow out.

JIMMY: No, that's not asbestos.

That's, uh...

Those are called floaties.

( Jimmy laughs )

HAILEY:
Asbestos and champagne.

What could be
more romantic?

Well, it's a...
it's a work in progress,

and there's actually nothing
on the menu right now,

but the cookies are good.

This place is going
to be great, Jimmy.

Yeah, I know, I know.

I-I feel like
for the first time in a while

that my life is, uh, you know...
It's coming together.

So I don't understand.

You know, I thought
you couldn't get out

of here fast enough.

Yeah.

Until I realized
I had nowhere to go,

no one to see.
Hailey,

you can get stuck here.

You-You drive down
the same streets.

You go to the same places,

and it feels like
time isn't passing, but it is.

And it'll pass you
right by.

You owe it to yourself.

Get out, get free.

Make a life for yourself.

Why do I need to leave?

You're here.

( sighs )

Exactly.

I mean, you know, we-we can't...

Well,

why not?

Because I feel guilty enough

lying to Kirsten
about the cookies, let alone...

Right.

But believe me,

I wish we could.

I believe you.

Hey.

You okay?

Cigarette?

I quit.

Ryan Atwood,
look at yourself.

New clothes,
new haircut.

Dating the homecoming queen.

Mm...

Was dating?

I guess.
I don't know.

I like the haircut,
by the way.

Yeah?

You ever think
about coming home?

Sometimes.

More lately.

You ever think
about leaving?

Yeah, all the time.

But I don't know how.

So when you took
this particular catering job...

I needed the money.

Mm.

And, yes,

I was hoping
I might run into you.

Home's lonely these days.

Are you on a break?

Yeah, appetizers are finished.

I'm free until cleanup.

You want to get
out of here?

( crying )

Is it okay if I hang here?

Yeah, sure.

Of course.

Valentine's Day is wonderful,
isn't it?

( laughing )

You know,
the thing about Ryan...

Oh, no, this isn't...

It's not...

I'm fine.
I know.

But the thing about Ryan

is whenever things
have gotten tough,

everyone in his life
has abandoned him.

That's what he thinks I did.

So surprise him.
Show him you didn't.

That you're not going
to give up on him.

He wants me to.

Well, only because
he expects you to.

It's crazy.

Love is crazy.

It's always
challenging.

It's never easy.

Yeah, but is it always
this hard?

Sometimes, you know?

But you hang in there anyway.

If you're having
the worst fight in the world

or even some stupid argument

that neither of you
can even remember

what it's about.

Because it's...

It's worth it.

Now you guys
have been through so much already.

Why quit now?

Hey, Mr. Cohen...

Hello, Summer.

Hi. Coop, you ready to go?

Yeah.

You okay,
kiddo?

Thanks.

Oh.

Sometimes you make it hard
to hate you.

I know.

It's all...
It's-It's all...

It's part
of my charm.

But sometimes
you make it easy.

( laughter )

Charming too, no?

Mm.
Huh?

Let's go home.

THERESA ( laughing ):
You tried to jump that fence,

and your pants got caught.

I-I was pretty graceful.

Yeah, especially
when you face-planted.

Glad to see you enjoy my pain.

And we had no ice, and we had
to use that bag of frozen peas.

Yeah. Frozen vegetables.
Miracle cure.

It's pretty amazing: us
running into each other

on Valentine's Day.

I got to get back,
help clean up.

So, do you go to a lot
of these kinds of events?

Pretty much every week.

Well, then maybe I'll
run into you again.

Mm...

Plus I know where you live.

Oh, God.

I know. I shouldn't be here.

No, you shouldn't, Luke.

But it's just...

I don't know. You looked
so sad when you left.

I couldn't bear the thought
of you being alone on Valentine's Day.

Most people would enjoy
that thought.

Not me.

Mrs. Cooper, you are
an amazing girl...

Woman.

Lady, uh...

and i-if Mr. Nichol
doesn't appreciate you...

No, he sure doesn't.
That's because

he's-he's too old to see
what he's lucky enough to have.

* Out in the back seat
of the '60 Chevy *

And you should
also know that

you have always been
the coolest mom.

Luke...
No, it's true.

You-you've always let us listen

to whatever we wanted to
in the carpool,

and-and you let us
watch R-rated movies,

and... whenever
we played Ultimatum...

Ultimatum?

You know, who of...
all your friends' moms

would you rather do...?

That's a game?

And whenever we played it,
you always won.

Really?

I beat Kirsten?

I just thought you should know
the truth on Valentine's Day.

Goodnight.

Wait...

* We weren't searching for
some pie in the sky summit *

Oh...

* We were just young
and restless and bored *

* Living by the sword

Thank you.

* And we'd steal away
every chance we could *

* Back rooms, alleys,
the trusty woods *

* I used her, she used me,
but neither one cared *

* We were getting our share

* Working on our night moves

* Trying to lose
those awkward teenage blues *

* We were practicing
* Night moves

* Oh, the night moves

Would you like to come in?

* Night moves
* Night moves

* Oh, I remember
* Night moves

I guess you're happy
that today is over.

Oh, absolutely.

Oh, my God, Sandy.

Well, somebody's got to
keep Hershey's and Hallmark in business.

Oh!

So, you want to be
my Valentine?

Yes... just as soon as I have
some of these caramel chocolates.

They're my favorite.

The square ones.
I like the ones with nuts.

Not to rub it in, man,

but I think Princess Sparkle
is your type.

Yeah, I blew it for us both.

What's that?

Yeah, are you kidding?
Great hooves.

Cohen?

Summer?

Hey, um...
Hey.

No.

The other night...

when we... had sex...

Yeah.

You weren't the only virgin
in the room.

There was someone
else in the room,

like-like, filming us?

Me, jackass.

I'm a virgin...

or I...

was a virgin.

Why didn't you tell me?

I don't know.

I guess... I felt

like I had this
reputation to uphold,

and I figured you'd think
less of me or something.

No. Are you kidding?
Not at all.

I'm just... I'm shocked.

God, never in a million years

did I think that you,
of all people...

Not that... That is not
what's important here.

( sighs )

This was a huge moment
in both our lives,

and we just blew past it.

Really, really quickly.

Hey, not that quickly.

Pretty quickly, yes.

( sighing ):
And it was a big deal.

I think that it
should've been special...

and we rushed it.

What if...

we were to slow it down
a little bit?

Maybe, um...
start from the beginning?

What do you mean?

( scratchy record plays )

( acoustic pop song plays )

You are so cheesy, Cohen.

Come on, I'm sweeping you
off your feet.

Well... the sad part
is you kind of are.

* Today is gonna be the day

* That they're gonna give it
back to you *

* By now,
you should have somehow *

* Realized what you've
got to do *

* I don't believe that anybody

* Feels the way I do
about you now *

* Back beat, the word
is on the street *

* That the fire
in your heart is out *

* And I'm sure...

Where is she?

What?

Theresa. If she's here,
I want her to know

I'm not going to lose you.

I'm not going to give up on you.

She left.

I'm so sorry.

I know. I know.

* And all the roads
we have to walk are winding *

Can't you just forgive me?

How?

I don't know if...

if we should be together.

I mean, look how easy it was
for someone to come into our lives,

to come between us.

How do I know
it won't happen again?

It won't.
You have to trust me.

Like you trusted me?

Ryan...

So, that's it?

I-I can't pretend
it didn't happen.

* Today was gonna be the day

* But they'll never bring it
back to you *

* By now, you should've somehow
realized what you've gotta do *

* I don't believe that anybody

* Feels the way I do
about you now *
