Episode Quotes
 
Sandy: Summer! How are you doing?
Summer: Better than the 2.8 billion people living below the poverty level. You came with that statistic, Mr. Cohen. I don't think so. That's why I have to go!
Sandy: Who knew, out of all you kids, she'd turn out to be the young Sandy Cohen?
Seth: Had to rub off on someone.
 
Julie: We can't go on like this anymore, can we?
Summer: No.
 
(over the phone)
Summer: I don't think I'm coming.
Dr. Roberts: Listen, I've been looking forward to seeing you. I just got back from Seattle. I've got a lot to tell you.
Summer: Well, tell me now.
Neil: No, I want you here. It's Thanksgiving.
Summer: Exactly. Millions of turkeys being senselessly slaughtered so us Americans can get even fatter.
 
(leaving a message on Seth's phone)
Summer: Hey, it's me. I'm heading back to Providence. Look, everything you said was true and I need to deal with it, but I need to do it on my own. I'm sorry I am such a mess. It's just ... I miss my friend. But I will call you as soon as I have my head screwed on. I love you.
 
Ryan: You didn't try to help. You didn't even stop.
Volchok: I got scared. I freaked. A hell.
Ryan: And she died. Outside of the road.
Volchok: I think about that night every day. It's all I think about. I wish I could take it back.
Ryan: I don't want to hear about how bad you feel. Tell me why you did it.
Volchok: Does it matter?
Ryan: It matters to me.
Volchok: I don't know. Okay? I mean, I was coming after you. You got the girl, I didn't. Now it's hard for me to handle. I just ... I wanted you to pull over. And it all just ... got out of control.
Ryan: So, what? It was all an accident? I'm stuck.
Volchok: I know it doesn't change anything, so if you want to finish this, I'm not going to fight back.
Ryan: I'm not doing any favors. You have to live with what you did. It's over.
Sandy: (to Ryan) I am proud of you.
 
Julie: Tell me about her.
Ryan: What?
Julie: Anything. Just tell me about her.
Ryan: I remember the first time I saw her. She was wearing this white top thing, and I think she had jeans on. She was standing at the bottom of the driveway. And I thought "whoa" ... she was really hot. Really hot. She gave me a smile.
Julie: (whispering) It was a beautiful smile.
 
Kirsten: What happened?
Taylor: She called me irrisponsible and stupid. And then she said that I would never be truly thin because I have a naturally large thorax.
 
Ryan: What do you expect we’ll get over everything just because we’re buying parsley?
Seth: Well, it's more than just garnish, Ryan.
 
Kirsten: Hold on. When a kid is stealing stuff in my kitchen that's usually a sign that something is wrong.
Taylor: I would talk to you, Mrs. Cohen, but this is simply too private.
Kirsten: I'll make you a plate of food.
Taylor: Living room!
 
(about the dog)
Kaitlin: Dude, I found her at the pier. And I’m not taking her back. She totally fits in my purse.
Dr. Roberts: Dude, does you mother know that you have this thing?
Kaitlin: Well, yesterday, she almost sucked her up in the vacuum. I guess to her the dog is invisible. Like me.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Dr. Roberts: Well, the offer came at the perfect time, and the hospital is famous for being wonderfully quirky. It's called Seattle Grace.

Seattle Grace is the hospital in Grey's Anatomy.
