There is a loud knock at the door. Seth wakes up, startled. He looks at the clock and sees the time.
Ki: Seth, it's time to get up!
Kirsten yells. Seth puts the blanket over his head.
Se: Mom, I set my alarm clock last night, all right? I have ten more minutes.
Seth yells back, annoyed. Kirsten opens the door and walks in.
Ki: There's a phone call for you.
Seth sighs.
Se: It's probably Summer.
Seth says to himself.
Se: Hey Mom do me a favor, tell her that I hate her… but say it with a lot of love.
Seth jokes. Kirsten pulls the blanket off of Seth. Seth realizes that Marissa isn't there. Kirsten hands him the phone. Seth answers it. Kirsten walks out of his room.
Se: Hello.
Seth says sleepily.
Ma: Good morning Vietnam!
Marissa says really annoyingly. Seth groans and falls back on the bed.
Se: Whatever this is, couldn't it have waited until school?
Ma: No way, otherwise it would have been way less annoying.
Seth nods. There's a pause.
Se: So what happened, you start sleep-walking again?
Seth asks.
Ma: Sorry I snuck out of bed like that.Se: If I had a nickel for every time…
Ma: You'd have a dime.
Marissa interrupts. Seth smiles.
Ma: I woke up about an hour ago and went home.
Seth nods.
Ma: The weirdest thing happened when I got here.
There's a pause.
Ma: I actually went to check on Caitlan.
Seth sits up in bed.
Ma: And it all kind of hit me again you know? And ever since I've just been thinking a lot about her.
Se: And what have you been thinking?
Seth wonders. There's a pause.
Ma: I don't know, right after she died I went through the heavy mourning phase…
Se: And my lips thank you by the way.
Seth interrupts jokingly.
Ma: Very appropriate.
Marissa responds, sarcastically.
Ma: but after that I just moved on. I had so much stuff going on in my life, mainly stuff with Ryan, and I kind of forgot about it. But now returning home, it's all coming back to me, all the memories…
There's a long pause. Seth looks at his clock.
Se: Only 2,700 seconds until our penultimate year of school.
Marissa shakes her head confused.
Ma: What?
Se: Anyone can say 45 minutes until the start of Junior year.
Ma: Buy you're not just anyone.
Se: I'm special.
Seth declares. Marissa nods.
Ma: In every definition of the word.
Marissa responds jokingly. There's a knock on the door.
Se: Please do not tell me you are at the door.
The door opens and Summer walks in. Seth sighs.
Se: You guys planned this, didn't you?
Seth asks both of them.
Su: Who dat?
Summer asks, as she sits on the bed.
Se: It's Marissa.
Seth says to Summer.
Ma: Summer's there?
Marissa asks.
Se: Yes, because apparently I am Seth Hefner, I have two women wake me up in the morning.
Seth jokes.
Su: Ew, you mean that old guy?
Summer asks. Seth shakes his head.
Ma: You guys coming to pick me up?
Se: Yeah, we'll be there in thirty minutes.
Ma: 1,800 seconds?
Marissa asks.
Se: Exactly. See you then.
Ma: Yeah, see yah.
Seth hangs up.
Se: For your information Summer, Hugh Hefner is a God.
Seth reputes Summer.
Su: Oh please, he's just rich enough to afford the really big plastic hookers.
Summer stands up. Seth looks at Summer.
Se: Hey, that was a lot of work on your half getting up early to put on your face so you could come over and wake me up. You didn't have to do that for me.
Su: Who says I did it for you?
Summer contradicts Seth.
Se: Then who'd you do it for?
Su: Whoever has to look at me.
Summer responds. There's a pause.
Se: Well, since I'm the one who looks at you the most often, you're doing it for me.
Summer shrugs.
Su: I don't know, there was a guy last year, he was in my science class, thick black glasses, suspenders, used big words all the time…
Se: Steve Urkel was in your science class?
Seth jokes. Summer shrugs.
Su: You know how I go for the geeky types.
Summer teases.
Ki: Seth! Come on! You don't want to be late!
Kirsten yells from the hall. Summer walks toward the door. Seth gets up from bed and follows her. They walk in the hall toward the bathroom.
Se: So, would you like to join me in the shower?
Seth asks. Summer pushes Seth.
Su: Just, get in there.
Se: Woman are so pushy.
Seth walks into the bathroom and closes the door.
