MarissaI think we should spend this whole summer just being normal.
We're not gonna hold Seth to that, are we?
MarissaNo. That would be impossible.
MarissaI brought bagels.
Well, that's the secret password into the Cohen house.
MarissaWho's Kofi Annan?
Some guy Zach's mom knows. I think he works for United Airlines.
Shouldn't you be at the hospital?
MarissaUh, whatever. It's just Caleb. Ryan said he'll be fine. Besides he's like a... a cockroach, you know. He'll outlive us all.
When I was in Europe, I did some real soul-searching.
MarissaI hope you didn't hurt yourself.
That's very punk of you. You know, I used to like punk in my day.
MarissaMom!
Okay, Marissa. It still is my day. I was just being modest.
oh my god
Marissaoh my god
oh my god
MarissaSo what's your plan? Who's your social chair savior?
Ryan.
MarissaMr. Water polo? I don't think so.
Yeah, but think about this. That guy worked in, no no no, he toiled in an actual construction job. Also, he enjoys architecture and burning stuff down.
[Phone rings]
MarissaHello mother. No, I'm not coming home, okay? Bye.
Please, do not... [Marissa hangs up] She's such a little me.
Zach???? Oh, my god, I'm having a panic spiral.
MarissaWait, that's Zach on the Vespa?
I didn't think he'd come back. He was in Italy for so long I assumed he bought a villa and opened an espresso bar.
MarissaSo everyone's saying you're going to be voted prom queen. Isn't that, like, your fifth-grade dream coming true?
No. My dream involved an actual date. A hot guy in a tux, with a carnation pinned to his lapel. Instead I'm drawing straws between Nerd Boy and Ass Clown.
MarissaSorry, Mum. I didn't mean to be a bitch.
Well, apples and trees. You are my daughter.
[At Ryans goodbye dinner.]
Honey, this homemade pah tai is delicious, keep cooking like this we'll save a bundle on takeout.
Oh thank you. I hope everybody likes it, i used tofu instead of shrimp.
MarissaIts fine by me, i think I've kinda gone off of seafood for a while.
I for one I love the tofu, tofuna, tofurkey, tobagel with cream tocheese. (Looks around) Too much.
It was a valiant effort.
I don't think this is going to work.
MarissaSure it will.
Dude, you don't know Volchok. Last year some guy snaked his wave, so he went up on the pier and dropped a kitchen sink on him... Where do you even get a kitchen sink?
[Summer, Seth, Ryan and Marissa are at the nursery choosing Christmas trees]
Look at the branch species. It's like Swiss cheese! Can it withstand heavier ornaments?
Marissa[watching Summer choosing trees] So that's a pastime.
[deadpan] Why not? We've been here three hours.
Hey, get in the spirit man. It's Christmukkah. I love Christmukkah.
Marissa[smirks] So we've heard.
Seriously, the best thing I've ever done. The Jewish boy wants Christmas. I gave myself that.
