- [Marissa walks in from the bedroom wearing a skimpy robe]
- Marissa: Hey Alex, should I be getting dressed or are we going back to...
- [sees Seth standing in the living room as Alex walks in from the kitchen]
- Marissa: ...bed?
- Seth: Oh My God.
- Marissa: Oh My God.
- Alex: Oh My God.
- Seth: [to Alex] Let me get this straight. You broke up with me, for Marissa?
- Alex: Do you want your money?
- Seth: Hey, who better than a superhero understands secret identity? Now hold on, just want to make sure I have the visual.
- [Marissa looks uncomfortable]
- Seth: Okay I got it, great, thank you. Hey listen, Alex. Thank you. Both of you. For everything, I mean, keep doing what you're doing, I like it.
- [walks out]
- Ryan: You're listening to Boyz2Men?
- Seth: I can think of no sadder song in the whole world.
- Ryan: So I'm guessing it didn't go well.
- [Turns down music]
- Seth: Unless I can think of one last grand romantic gesture, Summer's gone.
- Ryan: Wow. You know, I remember when I first heard about Summer. We were sailing. You said you named your boat after her, which I thought was a little weird. Considering you never talked to her.
- Seth: Eureka Ryan! I can't believe I just said "eureka." That's okay. That's it.
- Ryan: What's it?
- Seth: The thing to win her back. The grand romantic gesture that's going to put Zachary's Euro-trip to shame. I shall take her on a sailing adventure aboard the Summer Breeze.
- Ryan: Except you sold the boat for bus fare.
- Seth: I did. Damn it. Eureka Ryan! I shall buy back the Summer Breeze.
- Ryan: Except with what money?
- Seth: Kay, if I wanted my parade rained on, I'd step outside. Let me ask you something, do you like the shape of the idea even?
- Ryan: Defiantly.
- Seth: Great, so all I need is money. Hang on. Yes. Got the answer. But before I say "eureka" again do you see any other potential flaws, or holes in my plan?
- Ryan: No.
- [Seth gets up]
- Seth: Then, eureka Ryan! Eu-freaking-reka! Turn this music off. It's depressing me.
- [Marissa walks in from the pouring rain and passionately kisses Alex]
- Marissa: I told her!
- Alex: You told who what?
- Marissa: My Mom. About us! I can't believe it, but I did.
- Alex: You... told her?
- Marissa: I thought you would be happy.
- Alex: No, it just depends. Did you tell her to piss her off?
- Marissa: Hey, look, I told her so that this could be real. For us.
- Alex: Wow.
- [laughs]
- Alex: So, what happens now?
- Marissa: She is probably having a meltdown as we speak, so I can't go home.
- Alex: So stay here.
- Marissa: You sure?
- Alex: But first, let's get you out of these wet clothes.
- [Julie sees Marissa and Alex walk in]
- Julie Cooper-Nichol: Good morning Mariss... oh, hi. I didn't know you had a friend over last night. Well, I'm Marissa's mother, Julie Cooper-Nichol.
- Alex: Alex.
- Julie Cooper-Nichol: Alex? Oh, yeah. You're the fiesty young lady Caleb mentioned. Well, I was just making bagels. I figured if the Cohens can do it, why can't we?
- Alex: Oh, none for me, thanks. I don't eat breakfast.
- Julie Cooper-Nichol: Oh, that's very punk of you. You know, I used to like the punk in my day.
- Marissa: Mom!
- Julie Cooper-Nichol: You're right, Marissa. It still is my day. I was just being modest.
- Seth: They're showing a marathon of 'Sherman Oaks: The Real Valley', so.
- Ryan Atwood: What's that?
- Seth: Hm, apparently, 'The Valley', it's got its own reality show knock-off. And, you know, why watch the angst of fictional characters when you can watch real people in contrived situations?
- Kirsten: My husband is currently transporting a fugitive whom happens to be his ex-girlfriend.
- Julie: Well, I will see your fugitive, former-girlfriend, flame, and raise you a lesbian daughter.
- Kirsten: Marissa?
- [Julie nods]
- Kirsten: Well, I'm sure it's just a phase.
- Julie: It was for me.
- [Kirsten looks a little shocked]
- Julie: And it is for you, too. You guys will work it out. I couldn't handle it if you didn't, you too are like the moral center of the universe. You're Sandy and Kirsten!
- Julie: I don't think it's too much to ask to know what's going on under my roof.
- Marissa: Oh. You want to know what's going on with me? I am going to tell you the truth. No screaming, no crying, just the truth.
- Julie: You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear that.
- Marissa: Hold that thought. Alex is my girlfriend.
- Julie: I know, and I am so happy that you have made a new friend. Although, I hope you keep seeing Summer...
- Marissa: No, Mom, not my friend who's a girl. My girlfriend.
- [thunder rumbles in the distance as Julie looks shocked]
- Marissa: Yeah.
- Julie: Got a minute?
- Marissa: Not really.
- Julie: Well, I would like to talk to you. About your friend Alex.
- Marissa: I'm sure you would, Mom.
- Julie: Look, Marissa, I experimented too when I was your age. Albeit it involved a little Motley Cru and a lot of jager.
- Marissa: Woah! Way too much information.
- Julie: I'm just saying, that I understand that this is a phase, but, that I won't make a big deal about it if you don't.
- Marissa: Right. This way you avoid any public embarrassment.
- Julie: [notices suitcases] Where are you going?
- Marissa: I'm moving out. You have my cell if Caleb kicks and you need help counting your cash.
- Elaine Stevens: Are you a fan of Botticelli?
- Summer Roberts: Yes, yes, I am. Although I prefer his earlier work. You know, the comedies.
- Ryan: You're listening to Boyz2Men?
- Seth: I can think of no sadder song in the whole world.
- Ryan: So I'm guessing it didn't go well.
- [turns down music]

- Ryan: No.
- [Seth gets up]
- Seth: Then, eureka Ryan! Eu-freaking-reka! Turn this music off. It's depressing me.
- Zach Stevens: We're gonna be backpacking. You know, going from hostel to hostel.
- Summer Roberts: Ew. You haven't seen hostile 'til you put me up in one.
