Episode Quotes |
| |
Julie: Ryan Atwood is worried about me?
Taylor: Yeah.
Julie: How about that. | Seth: Now I know that psychic has a lot of credibility. She works at a kiosk, and she doesn't appear to charge for her services, but I think I am a better judge of whether you and I are meant to be together, than her and I bought proof. | Kaitlin: What's up, nerd?
Bullit: Wow. Who you calling nerd, bird legs.
Kaitlin: You, nerd. | (to Ryan about dinner with his father)
Taylor: There has never been an awkward silence I could not fill. | (a limo pulls up to the hotdog stand)
Frank: Tell me that's her.
(Julie steps out of the limo)
Ryan: It's her.
Frank: I'm ... suddenly nervous.
Ryan: It's gonna be great. | Seth: But this mermaid poem, it's our roots, it's our mythology.
Summer: What if our mythology is a sham? Something that we invented? What if we are each others Jimmy Cooper?
Seth: What?
Summer: You know, the one before the one. The one that you think is right before you meet your Sandy Cohen.
Seth: Wait, are we saying that because Taylor wrote the poem she's my Sandy Cohen? Because as delicious of a twist as that would be it's not gonna happen.
Summer: No, what I'm saying is what if we're not destined to be together? That's your cue, Seth, to say that I am wrong. I'm wrong, right? Cue. Say it. I'm wrong, right?
Seth: I don't know anymore. |
