The last scene begins when Ryan and Marissa walk into the house with the movies for the four's classic movie night.
Ryan: I can't believe you made me rent these movies. You do know now that Gone With the Wind….
Marissa: Watch buddy, that's my favorite movie of all time, and if I'm going to be living with you guys, you may as well get used to it now, because we'll be watching it at least once a month. Plus, I will also make you read the book, which is even better than the movie.
Ryan: There is no way you'll get me to do that!
Marissa: Wanna bet? Trust me; a woman has many ways to get a man to do what she wants him to.
Ryan: Well, I might be able to think of a few ways you could convince me to do anything you wanted. (He moves towards her, puts his arms around her waist, and holds unto her very tightly.)
Marissa: And what do you think you're doing?
Ryan: Letting you convince me to do whatever you say.
Marissa: Uh-hm, mister, I don't think so. There is one thing you need to know when it comes to relationships, good things are worth the wait, and lucky for you, the movies we are about to watch with your brother and his girlfriend, are perfect examples.
Ryan: Speaking of Seth, I wonder where he is. If he were ready to watch the movies in the family room, we'd have heard him by now.
Marissa: They did say they'd be here right and that they'd get the food?
Ryan: Yeah, which means we'll probably have pizza and pudding.
Marissa: Pudding?
Ryan: Get used to it. You're going to be here for a while, and after that, if you move in, you will see enough pudding being consumed by Seth to last you a lifetime. Seth fully believes that pudding is a separate food group, that it should be eaten at every meal, and that it makes a great snack. I don't know what Sandy and Kirsten did to that kid when he was a baby, but he is definitely not normal. (His cell phone rings.) Speaking of the devil, (He answers the phone.) yes, Seth, what do you want now?
Seth: Hey, buddy, I was just calling you to let you know that Summer and I decided we should watch the movies out here, in the poolhouse. We're waiting for you, so whenever you get here, the pudding will be chilled and ready to eat.
Ryan: Okay, see you in few. (Ryan hangs up the phone.) They're outside in the poolhouse. They want to watch the movies out there.
Marissa: Good.
Ryan: Why good?
Marissa: Because I like being in the poolhouse, but they better not be in the bed. Come on, let's go. (She grabs his hand and pulls him out to the poolhouse with her, but he doesn't argue with the contact. When they get into the poolhouse, Seth and Summer are indeed laying on Ryan's bed.)
Seth: Dude, how did you get here so fast? You really must have wanted some pudding. Well, my man, I have chocolate, vanilla, banana, butterscotch, and, of course, my favorite, tapioca.
Ryan: Thanks, but I'll pass.
Seth: Marissa?
Marissa: Not a big pudding fan, Seth, sorry, but hey, think of it this way, more for you, right?
Seth: I like the way you think.
Ryan: Summer, please say you bought something to eat besides pudding.
Summer: Of course, what kind of an idiot do you take me for Chino? Let's see (She gets up and goes to the kitchenette portion of the poolhouse and starts to rummage through the bags.) there is pizza, chips, gummy bears, ice cream, Cohen, why didn't you put that in the freezer?
Seth: Oops, Sorry, my love, I forgot, but it can't be that bad, we've only been here for about a half and hour.
Marissa: Looks like we won't be eating that for a while.
Summer: (She winks at Ryan and Marissa and mouths to them, watch this.) Oh my God, Cohen, I don't think the cashier packed your pudding. Either she forgot to put it in the bags or we left it there. (When Seth hears this, he jumps out of Ryan's bed and comes running to the kitchenette and starts to rummage through the bags.)
Seth: What, woman, what the hell do you mean? If that bimbo did not give me my pudding, I am going back to that grocery store right this minute and you're going to go all rage blackout on her ss! (He finds the pudding and calms down instantly until he realizes that Summer did that just to make him go crazy.) Summer, how could you do that to me? You know that pudding is the most important thing in my life (He sees her pissed off face so rethinks his tactic.) besides you, of course. How could you scare me like that? I thought you loved me, and you know I couldn't handle a movie night without my little tapioca. (He starts to open a container of pudding and begins to suck it out with his mouth.) Hey, this is fun. Ryan, do you have any straws out here? I just discovered a brand new way to eat pudding.
Ryan: (Who is laying in the bed beside Marissa now) Try the top drawer, man.
Seth: Thanks. (He opens the drawer, finds a straw, and continues to suck pudding out of the container until he sees that Ryan and Marissa are now on the bed.) Dude, what do you and your lady friend think you're doing? Summer and I were there first. Haven't you heard of a little thing called first come, first serve?
Ryan: Have you ever heard of a little thing called it's my bed, Seth, so sit on the floor.
Seth: Ryan, I can't sit on the floor, it's too uncomfortable.
Summer: Chino, come on man, you know that Seth's hiney is too bony; a floor makes it feel like he's sitting on rocks.
Ryan: There are plenty of chairs, or you two could lay on the pillows over there.
Seth: I thought we were brothers, and brothers stick together Ryan. Plus, it's Chrismukkah, how can you make me uncomfortable during the holiday I invented.
Summer: Shut it, Cohen, no one cares anymore that you came up with Chrismukkah. Go over there, take your pudding, and sit down like a good boy. So, what movies did you get?
Ryan: Don't look at me, Marissa picked them all out. (She goes over and sits with Cohen on the pile of pillows.)
Marissa: First of all, I got my favorite movie, Gone With the Wind.
Seth: Oh, that is a good one, but I personally prefer Casablanca.
Marissa: I got that one, too. Plus, we got An Affair to Remember,
Seth: Another awesome movie!
Marissa: and last but not least, a musical,
Seth: Let me guess, My Fair Lady?
Marissa: How did you know?
Seth: Well, considering your other selections, I knew it had to be a romantic musical, a period piece, and, secretly, I was hoping it was that one. I just love the part at the races when she yells out "Move your bloomin' arse!" in front of all those snobs. It makes me laugh every time, especially if I think of something like that happening at one of the Newpsies' parties. (Ryan's mouth is wide open due to his shock that Seth even knows this stuff, and Summer is rolling with laughter.)
Summer: Where the hell and why the hell did you ever watch that movie?
Seth: My dad is into musicals, he used to make my Mom and I watch them with him.
Ryan: Nice try, man, but I've been here now for over five years and not once has your Dad tried to get us to watch a musical.
Seth: That's just because he knows you wouldn't. Plus, ever since you came around, Dad has been trying to act more macho. I don't know, maybe he was afraid you'd show him to Mom or something.
Summer: Still not buying it Cohen, but as long as you don't sing along when we watch it, I'll let you slide. Someday though this moment will come back and haunt you, I promise you that.
Ryan: So, what are we watching first?
Summer: Which one has the cutest guy?
Seth: You don't need a hot guy in the movie, Summer, you have me! (She hits him with one of the pillows and gives him the look.) Okay, fine, I'd say, hmmmm, between Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, and Rex Harrison, you'd probably like Clark Gable the best, because we all know you go for the tall, dark, and handsome type, don't we. (He indicates himself when he is describing Summer's type.)
Marissa: Good, then it's Gone With the Wind.
Ryan: Here, I'll put it in for you.
Marissa: Thanks.
Ryan: While I'm up, do you want anything, I'm going to grab the pizza.
Summer: Oh, bring the gummy bears and a pop, too, thanks Chino.
Ryan: Marissa?
Marissa: Pizza sounds good and a water please.
Seth: Water?
Marissa: Yeah, that's all I drink.
Seth: You're definitely not from Newport Beach then. (Ryan returns with everything and passes it out.)
Marissa: Thank you.
Summer: Yeah, me, too.
Ryan: No problem. (He sits down on the bed and presses play.)
Seth: Since you asked, man, I could really use a yoo-hoo. (Ryan just looks at him.) No, okay then, I see how it is. You will get stuff for the girls, but when it comes to doing one teeny, tiny favor for your own brother, you won't do it! (Ryan still doesn't get up, and in fact, he doesn't even look at Seth while he is talking. Seth notices this and turns to Summer.) Summer, can I at least have a drink of your pop? (She hands it to him, and he drinks it. Everyone else is quiet because the movie is beginning.) Ahhhh, thanks Summer, at least a guy can always count on his girl…. (Everyone interrupts him with ssshhh.)
The scene goes black and comes back on a few hours later. The movie is ending, and Sandy and Kirsten come into the poolhouse. When they arrive, Seth and Summer are laying on their stomachs, knees bent with their legs in the air and their head resting in their hands beside each other. Seth is crying, and Summer is handing him Kleenexes. Ryan and Marissa are on the bed, she also is crying, but he is just holding her. While she watches the movie, Ryan watches her. After Sandy and Kirsten come in, no one notices their entrance, and they wait for the movie to end before speaking up.
Kirsten: Oh, I love this movie! Whoever picked this out has great taste. (When she first says something, Seth is startled and jumps up like he's on fire. Once he calms down, his breathing is heavy.)
Sandy: (Laughing at Seth) Get a little into the movie there, son?
Seth: How can you not, I mean, when Rhett tells Scarlett, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn," your heart just melts. I mean, she just realized that she loved him all along, and now she tells him and he just can't love her anymore. It breaks my heart. (Seth sniffles and wipes his eyes with his Kleenex.)
Kirsten: Well, Sandy, at least we can say that we've raised a son who's in touch with his feminine side. (Everyone laughs except Seth.) So, what else did you get?
Marissa: Well, I also got Casablanca, which I thought we'd watch next for Seth because it's his favorite,
Sandy: Casablanca is your favorite movie?
Seth: Favorite classic movie, you know, I have a favorite from all the genres.
Marissa: and we also have An Affair to Remember
Kirsten: On one of our first dates, Sandy took me to see that movie. They were having a midnight showing of it one night, and every time I watch it, it just makes me remember why I fell in love with him. (She turns to Sandy and kisses him.)
Seth: Stop that, you two know the rules, no PDA in the poolhouse, and that rule definitely includes parents.
Marissa: Oh, and I almost forgot, I also rented My Fair Lady.
Sandy: Really? Ryan, this girl has excellent taste in movies!
Marissa: Thank you.
Sandy: Would you mind if we borrowed My Fair Lady while you guys watch the other two movies? I haven't seen it in years, and I just love the part where… (Ryan, Summer, and Marissa all interrupt and say what he was going to say)
Ryan, Marissa, and Summer: the scene at the races when she says "Move your Bloomin' Arse." (Kirsten laughs)
Sandy: How did you know?
Summer: Cohen loves that part, too, he already told us all about it. (Sandy now laughs along with everyone.)
Sandy: Anyway, back to the movie, do you mind Marissa? (Marissa grabs the movie and walks towards them.)
Marissa: Be my guest. You guys can borrow all of them if you want.
Kirsten: Oh no, this is plenty, thank you though. Sandy will be entertained, and I will fall asleep right away. (Sandy looks at her like he is disappointed.) Sorry, Sandy, but I really don't like musicals.
Sandy: Oh well, thanks for the movie, Marissa.
Marissa: Any time. Oh, and Kirsten, we have the movies for a while, so if you want to watch any of them later, just let me know.
Kirsten: Thanks, honey, I'll keep that in mind. (Marissa's face lights up when Kirsten calls her honey. It is the closest thing to motherly affection that she's received in years. After Kirsten finishes talking, she leaves with Sandy, and Marissa goes and sits back down with Ryan. Seth gets up to put in the next movie, because he's excited about what they get to watch. As the two couples talk to each other, the other one does not pay attention.)
Seth: Summer, I want you to pay attention to this movie, because there are many scenes tonight I want to act out together before we go to bed, you know, a new kind of foreplay.
Summer: Haven't you had enough of me yet today, Cohen, damn boy, you may not last a long time, but your batteries recharge rather quickly! (Seth laughs.)
Seth: I do believe there was insult mixed up in that compliment, but I'll take it anyway. (He puts the movie in and presses play. While they were talking, Marissa and Ryan had their own conversation.)
Marissa: Ryan, did you just hear that?
Ryan: What?
Marissa: Your Mom just called me honey.
Ryan: Is that okay, because she'll probably do it a lot.
Marissa: Yeah, I like her calling me that, it's just been a long time since anyone said that to me, and it was a nice to hear, a surprise, but good one.
Ryan: I told you they'd like you, especially because of how I feel about you.
Marissa: Which is what?
Ryan: (Silent for a few moments while he thinks of a way to get out of answering her question.) Sssh, the movie's about to start. (Marissa gives him a look, but gives up, settles down beside him, and begins to watch the movie.)
The scene fades to black again, and when it comes back up, the second movie is over. Ryan and Marissa are once again cuddling while they sleep, and, this time, both Seth and Summer are crying while the credits roll and handing each other Kleenexes.
Summer: Oh my gosh, Seth, I can't believe you never had me watch this before. I mean, when I saw that it was in black and white, I hesitated for a moment, but this is really good. (She slaps him on the arm.) Why didn't you ever take me on a romantic date to see classic movies at midnight like your Dad did for your mom?
Seth: Well, Summer, I do believe that we never actually dated before we became a couple. You just sorta jumped my bones one day, and that was it. From that day on, you were hooked and, still, you can't get enough of me!
Summer: Very funny, Cohen. So, what's the next movie again, An Affair to Remember?
Seth: Oh, that's a good one as well! Hey, it's your guy's turn to put this one in, I did the last movie. (They both look over at Ryan and Marissa for the first time and realize that they are sleeping.)
Summer: Dmn, what does Chino do to that girl to make her fall asleep like that? (She hits Seth again.)
Seth: Woman, what now? I didn't do anything!
Summer: Apparently, that's the problem, because we've been at it like rabbits all day long and I'm wide awake, but look at those two! It's only 12:30 and they're sound asleep, and who knows how long they've been like that. They went to sleep earlier than we did last night, and now they're asleep before us again.
Seth: I don't understand.
Summer: Think about it, Cohen. Sex is supposed to make you tired, and we've had sex all day long, but we're wide awake. Are you doing something wrong?
Seth: Excuse me, but my technique is perfect. Maybe you're the one who's doing something wrong, hum, ever think of that?
Summer: No, of course I'm not. I just don't get it. What do they do that we don't?
Seth: Summer, maybe they didn't go to bed last night. All we saw them do was turn out the light, but they may not have gone right to sleep, if you get what I'm saying.
Summer: Yeah, but they were completely dressed this morning as we watched them sleep. Like they'd have sex and then put their clothes back on, that's stupid, Cohen.
Seth: Or, maybe Ryan's figured out a way to have sex with clothes on, granted it wouldn't be as much fun or as visually appealing, but it could be kinky and it would be quicker.
Summer: Hey, you don't need any help in that department!
Seth: What, you really think I'm kinky?
Summer: No, yeah right, but you definitely are fast enough!
Seth: Summer, you promised you wouldn't bring that up again, and you know as well as I do, that I'm working on that! Besides, how long do you want it?
Summer: Um, longer than fifteen minutes would be nice for once!
Seth: Oh, that's harsh, you've just hurt my feelings, but, yet again, we just better go and practice some more. (He gets up and head out the door. When he notices that Summer is slow to follow, he turns around and speaks to her.) Are you coming, woman?
Summer: Yeah, right behind you, but let me just grab the last movie. When we're done with your endurance practice, we'll watch this one as well.
Seth: OUR, our endurance practice Summer, you're just as big a part in this as I am.
Summer: Whatever. (At this point, she has the movie and is standing by him.) So, are you coming or are you going to stand here and talk the night away?
Seth: Lead the way, my lady! (Summer laughs at his corniness. Once they leave, Ryan and Marissa open their eyes and start talking.)
Ryan: I thought that they would never leave!
Marissa: I was beginning to wonder if they would ever even notice that we were sleeping.
Ryan: Well, really we weren't, but they don't need to know that.
Marissa: You are going to tell them someday right, because they just revealed some very embarrassing information that could be put to good use blackmailing them someday.
Ryan: Or, it could be an interesting Chrismukkah dinner topic.
Marissa: You wouldn't?
Ryan: Seth would do it to me, but I think it would be more fun to just make snide remarks, under my breath but loud enough for them to hear, that would let them know that I heard that entire conversation and that they are at my mercy.
Marissa: I am sooo glad I decided to stay here with your family, because that will be one entertaining dinner. (She laughs just thinking of it.)
Ryan: I just can't believe that Seth can't go longer than fifteen minutes, that is priceless!
Marissa: I can't believe they think we're having sex!
Ryan: Hey, what's so unbelievable about that? They see how amazingly gorgeous you are and probably just suppose that I can't act like a gentleman around you.
Marissa: Why are you? (He raises his eyebrow at her as if he is asking her, really, you want to?.) Nice try, I don't think so, but you have been behaving yourself, well mainly. You have had your moments.
Ryan: Like what?
Marissa: Let me see, there are the numerous times you have tickled me, there was the illegal move during the pillow fight, and last night, you cuddled with me!
Ryan: Oh, I cuddled with you, you mean like this? (He pulls her to him and holds her tightly. She responds by making herself comfortable in his arms and resting her head against his chest.) Just as I thought, you didn't fight me last night, you didn't fight me when we pretended to be asleep just a little while ago, and you didn't fight the cuddle just then, so sorry, but I guess someone else has not been behaving either!
Marissa: (She sits up and pulls away from him.) Okay, first of all, last night, I was sleeping so I had no idea what I was doing, secondly I had to go along with your plan earlier to get rid of them, and just now, I, I, I didn't want to be rude!
Ryan: (He sits up to look her in the eyes.) Is that all, you didn't want to be rude? You mean, you don't find me irresistible, too?
Marissa: Definitely not.
Ryan: So if I move towards you like this, (He does so.) you don't want to move even closer?
Marissa: (She starts to lose her composure slightly and it is evident that she would like to move closer.) Nope.
Ryan: What if I do this? (He now pulls her closer to him and leaves his hands on her waist, which just affects her even more.)
Marissa: Still not irresistible.
Ryan: Okay, how about I let go of you for a second and put your arms around me before I hold you tight again? (He does this by putting her arms around his neck, and at this point she can barely keep herself from kissing him.)
Marissa: I'm still not going to kiss you, and you're not going to kiss me.
Ryan: Oh really, and how can you be so sure?
Marissa: Because, you're going to wait until you can't handle it any more, until the point where you feel if you don't kiss me that you'll burst. I want the perfect first kiss with you, and nothing short of sparks flying, sirens and bells going off will please me, so are you sure you can live up to the pressure?
Ryan: Oh, I can give you a kiss you will never forget and for all the right reasons if that is what you want?
Marissa: It is.
Ryan: Just curious, though, how long do I have to wait to kiss you, an hour, a day, a week?
Marissa: Well, technically, that is up to you, but remember, you better not disappoint me, but if I had to pick a time, a day, and a place, I would go with the when the clock strikes midnight New Year's Eve when we're at the party. Just like Summer says, that moment determines your whole upcoming year, and you better make it the best it can be.
Ryan: Are you sure I can't talk you into a few practice sessions?
Marissa: Oh, I see, so Seth isn't the only one who needs practice in the love department in this family?
Ryan: Oh, hey now, that was a low blow! I don't need practice, I just enjoy it.
Marissa: Whatever you say.
Ryan: (He leans in and whispers this to her, remind you they are still holding onto each other the entire time they are talking.) Don't worry, though, I don't have a problem with endurance; that just happens to be my specialty.
Marissa: Aren't you getting ahead of yourself. We were talking about a first kiss, not making love.
Ryan: But someday I hope to discuss that topic with you, and I just wanted you to know that whenever that perfect moment comes, it will last longer than fifteen minutes. (Marissa laughs.)
Marissa: I wonder if his fifteen minutes include foreplay, because if so, that is terrible.
Ryan: (Laughs.) I dare you to ask him tomorrow during breakfast.
Marissa: Oh come on, I couldn't do that to Summer, but if it is true, how does she deal with it?
Ryan: Or lack there of? (They both laugh.) Hey, can I ask you something?
Marissa: What is it?
Ryan: Have you ever?
Marissa: (She is embarrassed and looks down.) No. Not even close. In fact, if we're going to be honest I've never really had a boyfriend before.
Ryan: You, I find that hard to believe.
Marissa: Why?
Ryan: Because you're too beautiful and intelligent not to have had a boyfriend before.
Marissa: I never paid guys that much attention. If they didn't catch my attention and hold it, then I didn't waste my time on them. I didn't want a handful of unmemorable relationships; I want one meaningful, special, time of your life relationship that will last forever.
Ryan: And you want me to be that person?
Marissa: I'm probably totally freaking you out right now, aren't I?
Ryan: No, not at all, and, just to let you know, I'm glad you never, you know. Even though I can't say the same, at least I know that no one has ever hurt you or taken advantage of you in the past, and hopefully, someday when we do, it will be everything you dreamed of. (They look at each other for a few seconds, before the sexual tension is almost deafening. Ryan speaks to break the tension.) Boy, I gave myself big expectations to fulfill, didn't I?
Marissa: Well, you're the only one who could make those dreams come true, because from the moment I met you, I knew I wanted you.
Ryan: I think I knew I wanted you even before I met you. (She gives him a look.) Whenever I imagined what I wanted in a girlfriend, it was you.
Marissa: So now what are we going to do?
Ryan: I don't know, but I don't think I'll be able to sit like this much longer and contain myself. You're just too alluring.
Marissa: You know, I said you couldn't kiss me yet, but I never said you couldn't touch me, couldn't hug me. (After she says this, Ryan pulls her into a hug, not a friendly one but a sexually charged one, but after a few moments, she pushes him away. She then continues to push him down till he is lying on his back on the bed. She straddles him, putting one leg on each side of his. Starting with his hair, she slowly touches his face, working her way down body part by body part. The entire time she does this, they do not break eye contact. When she finishes with his face, she does the same thing to his neck, his arms, his chest, his stomach, and then she runs her hands underneath his back, along his hips, and down his legs until she ends with his toes. Once Marissa finishes, Ryan says…)
Ryan: My turn. (She un-straddles him and remains sitting on her knees on his bed before him.)
Marissa: How do you want me to lie down? (Instead of answering her with words, he lifts her up and lays her down and arranges her body how he wants her to lay. He puts her on her side with one hand holding up her head, resting on her elbow. Then he lies down beside her also on his side, and throughout the whole switch, their eye contact never wavers. He starts with her lips, and circles his way out on her face, working his way up to her hair, which he runs his fingers through and smells, and down to her chin. He then touches her neck, her arms, both of them even the one angled to hold up her head, her chest, her stomach. Then, he traces his hands down her hip, down her leg to her foot where he switches to the other leg and works his way back up, tracing the opposite side of her body that he hadn't yet, the side that was the closest to the bed. By the time he finishes, he has reached his way back to her chin. Once he stops, he leaves his hand there and rests it while he leans in and whispers to her…)
Ryan: I have two confessions to make. The first, I have already kissed you. (She gives him a questioning look.) This morning, or rather now yesterday morning, when I woke up with you in my arms I couldn't help myself and I kissed your hair, smelled the scent of your shampoo, and tried to drink in as much of you as possible.
Marissa: And what's your other confession?
Ryan: (This time he blushes.) We've already discussed that I'm not un-experienced, but in every situation from my past, I have never done anything as sexually arousing or exciting as what we just did. If I can get these feelings by just touching you, I can't imagine what it will be like to finally kiss you. (Marissa leaned into his ear and whispered back to him.)
Marissa: It will be ecstasy.
Ryan: And when we make love?
Marissa: Magic.
Ryan: Magic, I can wait for that. Goodnight Marissa Cooper.
Marissa: Good night, Ryan Atwood.
Ryan: Come here, please. I won't be able to sleep without you in my arms. (He helps her shift her body's position so that she is lying in his arms just like she had previously and the camera fades.)
