Ryan Atwood quotes from The O.C.

Seth

I should apologize. It's just my pride.

Ryan

What pride?

Seth

Yeah I guess there's nothing standing in my way.

Seth

So what if Alex has en ex?

Ryan

Most people do.

Seth

That's right. It's probably some meathead thug with her name tattooed on his bicep.

Lindsay

You said it, everyone has an ex...and you seem to hang out with yours a lot.

Ryan

I do?

Lindsay

Uh-hmm. You do. Like constantly.

Ryan

Well...maybe you two should become friends. We can all hang out and it wouldn't be weird.

Lindsay

[scoffs, deadpan] Yeah. Me and the Cosmogirl, yeah that wouldn't be weird at all.

Ryan

All right, look. Luke Skywalker was happy to find his dad, right? Even if he turned out to be Darth Vader.

Lindsay

Ryan, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader fought each other with lightsabers until one of them died.

Seth

Summer and I are getting involved [in the comic book], professionally, Ryan. Now you know how these things go. Late nights at the office...

Ryan

You don't have an office.

Seth

Sure, but with the added stress of work and deadlines, you know, things can get...uh, sexy.

Ryan

You're writing a comic book. Not sexy.

Seth

We'll await the next great romance to wreck havoc on my heart and mind.

Ryan

[deadpan] I can hardly wait.

Ryan

[about Hellboy] He tries to do good but he usually ends up destroying everything.

Sandy

Well, that's my kinda hero.

Ryan

This thing with Lindsay is... different.

Seth

Different how?

Ryan

Different as in not fixed by pancakes. And don't ask me how I feel about waffles.

Seth

Got it.

Ryan

Live in the now, Seth.

Seth

I'm sorry. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Ryan

That was Trey.

Kirsten

Your brother?

Ryan

Yeah. He's getting out of jail tomorrow. Wants me to pick him up in Chino.

Seth

Well, there's that family trip you wanted.

Seth

As your brother, your other brother who is less related to you, I officially have your back.

Ryan

[deadpan] Thanks man.

Trey

Just ah, something I picked up in prison.

Seth

Ah yeah, the old scallion and chiv omelet. I've seen Lock Up. Stallone's finest work since Over the Top.

Trey

Stallone, huh? Eh, I'm more of a Van Damme fan.

Ryan

What, are you kidding me? Seagal, man.

Seth

Yeah, a divided house cannot eat. Now we all gotta get together between a single action hero.

Ryan

I think when the cops showed up and went to put the cuffs on Marissa he [Trey] did what he had to do to stop them.

Seth

What makes you say that?

Ryan

I was about to do the same thing.

Seth

Yeah, sure. The compulsive need to rescue Marissa Cooper must be in the Atwood DNA.

Ryan

That would explain a lot.

Seth

Are you thinking of going undercover? A high school sting operation? Because that would be very 21 Jump Street of you.

Ryan

Whatever it takes.

Seth

Yeah, okay. I get to be Richard Grieco.

Seth

I don't believe it, Ryan. Bright Eyes has two albums in the top ten.

Ryan

You okay with that?

Seth

Yeah. I just feel like the rest of the world's finally caught up to me. It's a little bit scary.

Ryan

Yeah, it's a lot scary.

Seth

Tell me I'm still special.
