Episode Quotes
 
Ryan: You're right. The way the doctors were talking, you could tell. They didn't want to get our hopes up.
Summer: Well, doctors are idiots.
Seth: Did you tell that to your dad?
 
Seth: Listen man, you can't blame yourself, you've tried.
Ryan: Yeah, and I failed.
Seth: Well, don't beat yourself up. Ryan Atwood versus himself is a very ugly cage match.
 
Seth: Oh, hey. (closes his laptop)
Summer: Hey, what are you doing?
Seth: Ah, pwft, nothing.
Summer: Oh, with all this nothing, you don't mind me looking, right? (flips the laptop back open) That's not porn..
Seth: It's a list of my Yakooza DVD's. Sorted alphabetically by title and also by director. Making my inventories is sorta one of those things kinda like masturbating, or flossing my teeth, where even though you know what I do, I'd just rather you'd not witness it.
 
Kirsten: Oh, well, maybe I can play cupid.
Sandy: That's a great idea.
Kirsten: Really, Sandy? And what is it that you say about Valentine's day? That it's vacuous, a commercially driven hollow shell of a holiday?
 
Sandy: What'd you do this time?
Seth: A certain circumstance was not.. fully disclosed, and.. Milo's mission was discovered.
Sandy: You got caught in a lie.
Seth: In a nutshell, yeah.
 
Seth: Well, Summer deserves a good man.
Sandy: Summer has a good man.
Seth: She does?
Sandy: Yeah.
Seth: Why did't you tell me? How long have you known?
 
Julie: Kaitlin, I'm so sorry if this trip wasn't everything you hoped for.
Kaitlin Cooper: I'm a Cooper, mom. I'll survive.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Kaitlin: Death Cab is on "The Valley"? I'm never listening to them again.

When Death Cab for Cutie performed on The O.C. in "The O.C. Confidential", fans of the band were angry that Death Cab would agree to perform on a teen drama.
 
 
Episode References
 
Summer: (to Marissa) This is the first Valentine’s Day that you two aren’t fighting or kissing some other girl.

Summer is refering to the Valentine's episode from season 2, "The Lonely Hearts Club", in which Marissa began her lesbian relationship with Alex, and Ryan spent Valentine's with Lindsay.
