Episode Quotes
 
Sandy: Since when is scotch part of a nutritious brunch?
Caleb: Since the DA's office finally decided they had enough to indict me.
 
Ryan: I'm gonna brood. Silently. Over here.
 
Seth: Ryan would you please take the minutes?
Ryan: Uh, Seth it's just us.
Seth: Yeah, uh huh. Write that down.
 
Seth: I will bring these walls down with one single grand gesture!
Ryan: No! No grand gestures!
 
Marissa: Ryan, we're not friends. We were never just friends.
Ryan: I guess that was the problem then. See ya.
 
Summer: What do you want from me, Cohen?
Seth: I just want you.
Summer: No you don't. You had me. You had me at Chrismukkah in a freakin' Wonder Woman costume and you chose Anna. You had me three months ago and you left.
Seth: I want to make that up to you.
Summer: It has nothing to do with me. It's about you. And it is always about you: what you need and what you want. You know, it seems that you only want me when you can't have me. You like the chase, and that's all. And you know what? You can have it.
 
Summer: Cohen. What are you doing?
Seth: Nothing. Why?
Summer: Looks like you're humping the hot dog stand.
