Synopsis:
The O.C., also known as Orange County, California, is an idyllic paradise ?
a wealthy, harbor-front community where everything and everyone appears to be
perfect. But beneath the surface is a world of shifting loyalties and
identities, of kids living secret lives hidden from their parents, and of
parents living secret lives hidden from their children.
'The O.C.' tells the
story of Ryan Atwood (Benjamin McKenzie) is a troubled teenage youth from the
wrong side of the tracks in Los Angeles whom finds himself on his own after he
is thrown out of his own house. He finds a place to stay in the posh home of the
Cohen's in the wealthy community of Newport Beach, the O.C. (Orange County),
California. Ryan is accepted by the stern but compassionate Sandford "Sandy"
Cohen (Peter Gallagher), a lawyer whom represented Ryan in the past for his
miss-deeds. But Sandy's wife, Kirsten (Kelly Rowan), aware of Ryan's criminal
history, is wary of this new houseguest.
The Cohen's son Seth
(Adam Brody) bonds with Ryan quickly and shows him the ropes of the community
and vice versa for Ryan giving advice to Seth about life and love. Ryan develops
a crush on Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton) a neighbor girl whom lives down the
street and has problems with her not-so-sheltered existence in dealing with her
distant father Jimmy (Tate Donovan) and weak-willed mother Julie (Melinda
Clark). Also, Marissa best friend, Summer (Rachel Bilson) is oblivious to the
crush that Seth has on her, while taking a liking to Ryan. And so begins a new
life for Ryan, the Cohen's, the Coopers, and basically everyone else in the
wealthy, picturesque, secretive, turbulent community of Orange County. Olivia's Role:
Alex Kelly
The new manager at the Bait Shop, Alex is a rebellious teen who got legally
emancipated from her parents after they were shocked by her wild behavior,
including dating members of the same sex. First attracted to Seth's nice-guy
personality, they soon broke up and Alex moved on to Marissa. Alex often
expresses regret at the poor relations between her and her parents.
Memorable Quotes from The O.C. of Olivia's Character
Alex Kelly:
[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]

Marissa: Listen, about
earlier, I got freaked out.
Alex: I know.
Marissa: It's just... I tried to tell Summer, and I couldn't.
Alex: Oh.
Marissa: Yeah, and then I came here, thinking we'd talk about it.
Alex: And you got even more freaked out.
Marissa: I just figured, if I'm not ready to tell my best friend, then
maybe I'm not ready for this.
Alex: So, you're here to break up with me?
Marissa: Then I told her.
Alex: Wait, you told Summer, about us?
Marissa: Mm-hmm. So, where have all your friends gone?
Alex: Seriously?
Marissa: Well, you still want me to meet them, don't you?
|
[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.
|
| Alex: [to Jodie and Seth] I would have introduced
you guys, but I didn't want you to meet.
|
Alex: You know, you don't
have to keep hanging around here helping me.
Marissa: Please, anything to get out of from my house. My mom has
been home for three hours and already I'm going insane.
Alex: My mom used to drive me crazy too with her egotistical and
narcissistic attitude. Then one day, I decided I wasn't going to let it
bother me any more.
Marissa: You make it sound so easy.
Alex: No, it's like this. Every time my mom would channel Satan,
I would take a deep breath, count to three, give her a big smile, and
say something like, "Interesting idea, Mom. I'll give it some thought."
It shuts her right up.
Marissa: That really works?
Alex: Absolutely. Women like that... they thrive on
confrontation. But if you refuse to engage, then there's really not
anything they can do about it. So, it drives them even more out of their
heads.
Marissa: Sounds like a great way to spend an evening. But you
know, anyone who can drive my mom even more crazy gets a free dinner.
What do you say?
Alex: Okay, but not tomorrow. I don't do Valentine's Day first
dates. I think it's a jinx.
Marissa: That's okay.
Alex: But next week, when we don't have Hallmark breathing down
our necks, we'll go on a date. Cool?
Marissa: Cool. |
| Alex:
How can she fall for you if you're not there to catch her? |

we’ve had fun doing it. It’s probably easier than it is most times with the boys
that they bring on the show to be my love interest."
