Episode Quotes
 
Seth: Holy 80s teen comedy plot!
 
Seth: Will you punch someone, please? For old time's sake?
 
Sandy: What's going on? (trash cans crash) You guys okay? Seth?
Seth: Shh! We're being stealth! (rolls across the hood of the car)
 
Julie: Do you see what you're leaving me with? Do you see how screwed up she is?
Marissa: Of course I'm screwed up. I'm the daughter of a thief and a slut.
 
Marissa: I brought bagels.
Sandy: Well that's the secret password into the Cohen household.
 
Kirsten: Ah! If it isn't my son the wino.
Seth: You guys found out?
Kirsten: Well, you weren't exactly stealth.
 
Summer: (to Seth) Your breath smells like Marissa! You are so drunk!
 
Seth: It's a story as old as time, really. Boy meets girl, boy likes girl, boy finds out girl is surrogate mother's illegitimate half-sister.
Sandy: I'm guessing it's too soon to joke Seth. Even for a Cohen.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
When Kirsten walks in on Ryan and Lindsay, they are both leaning back on the bed with one hand. When the shot cuts back to them, their arms are crossed across their chests, then in the next shot, they're leaning back again.
 
Jimmy says Hailey is 25. But last season, Jimmy said Hailey was 8 when he left for college and it was established that Jimmy was 40. So if Jimmy was 18 when he went to college, he is 10 years older than Hailey making her 30, not 25.
