Ryan Atwood quotes from The O.C.

Marissa

Ryan, I brought Volchok on us, it's only fair I help get rid of him. Come on, we're in this together, ok? (takes Ryan's hand) One last time.

Ryan

One last time.

Seth

[knocking on Ryan's door] Ryan!

Ryan

Seth, go away! I'm sleeping!

Seth

You're sleeping? And you're talking? Ryan, I don't even see how that's possible unless you're talking in your sleep.

Seth

You wanna tell them about your new vocation or should I?

Ryan

I'm not gonna tell them about it and neither are you. [Seth looks at him in disbelief] Sorry, just forget it.

Seth

Well, I don't know. Sandy's got a really memory. It's not gonna be so easy for him to forget the kid he adopted and my mom's still kinda fond of you...

Ryan

Yeah, I'm doing you guys a favor staying away.

Seth

You're doing us a favor?!

Ryan

I'm just a magnet for trouble...Trey, Volchok, you and your family...you're better off without me.

Seth

It's not true, it's not your fault. [Ryan looks at him] Any of it.

Seth

So where we going?

Ryan

Mexico.

Seth

Perfect. I need Chiclets.

Ryan

You didn't try to help. You didn't even stop.

Volchok

I got scared. I freaked a hell.

Ryan

And she died. On the side 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 wanna 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. It was hard for me handle. I just... I wanted you to pull over. And all just... it got out of control.

Ryan

So what? It was all an accident? A mistake?

Volchok

I know that doesn't change anything. So if you wanna finish this... I'm not gonna fight back.

Ryan

I'm not doing any favors. You have to live with what you did. It's over.

Ryan

You might wanna relax.

Taylor

Distract me. Tell me more about this, uh, cage fighting. It's been something I've been meaning to get into.

Ryan

Yeah? Ask me another favor and I'll me happy to show you.

Taylor

Ooh! Ryan Atwood with a side of sauce! I like it! You're gonna have to do better, though, 'cause all I can think about is him, my husband, [gets a little breathless]... his arms, his smell... making love in the barn in Burgundy...

Ryan

Sounds like the perfect guy. Why would you want a divorce?

Taylor

Well despite being agnostic in most things, I do believe in true love and this was not it... Well, back to you and your life. What is your favorite fruit?

Ryan

[chuckles] Peaches.

Taylor

He used to say my breasts were like two, soft...

Taylor

Ryan! There you are! I think there might be something wrong with your phone. I called three times today--

Ryan

Six, actually.

Taylor

Oh! Well, um, did you get a chance to look at that silly little document?

Ryan

Yeah, I did, and I have a question for you. [hands her the document in French] What does that say right there?

Taylor

Oh, that's just lawyer-speak. You know, party of the first part, party of the second part...

Ryan

So it doesn't say we had sex, like, thirty times? It took me, like, five hours to translate that.

Ryan

How do you keep doing that?

Taylor

Doing what?

Ryan

That. You keep telling me what I'm thinking before I feel it.

Taylor

Because I think about you, Ryan. I want you to be happy. And I think if you give it a chance, you might feel something, too.

Ryan

Taylor...

Taylor

[makes a face] Are you going to tell me you really like me as a friend?

Ryan

...Maybe.

Ryan

[awestruck] How does she do that?

Ryan

We did not hate you.

Taylor

Oh, you totally hated me. You were probably the president of the "We Hate Taylor" Club.

Ryan

I was the secretary. [Taylor giggles] I took the notes.

Taylor

[grins] Ryan, you made a real joke!

Kirsten

I couldn't help but notice that you wanted to talk to Seth.

Ryan

Oh, did I?

Kirsten

Well, since he's out of town and he's gonna be moving out next semester, you're gonna need a new Seth. Don't tell Sandy, but I thought I would audition for the job.

Ryan

Oh. Uh, yeah, well, that's... very thoughtful.

Kirsten

So... how does it work? Do I ask you what's on your mind, or...?

Ryan

Uh, usually you talk about yourself and I solve my problems on my own.

Ryan

Taylor: tonight. Are you busy?

Taylor

Oh. Blog, schmog.

Ryan

Is that a yes?

Taylor

Yes! It is a yes... squared, in all caps, with a exclamation mark and a smiley-faced emoticon.

Ryan

A simple yes will do.

Taylor

Yes.

Ryan

I keep imagining her on roller skates and with a big bucket of soapy water.

Seth

Dude, that is so pedestrian. A sudsy girl? Your fantasies are so... average.

Ryan

Doesn't mean it's not hot.

Seth

I guess they call them classics for a reason.

Ryan

What are you doing, paying your gay friend Roger to pretend he's in love with you?

Taylor

Well, what if I did? What if I did rent a homosexual for the evening? And pay him with rare collectibles from Asian cinema? What difference does it make to you?

Ryan

[sees Pancakes in Seth's sling bag] Dude, you can't bring that animal in here. What are you doing?

Seth

How dare you talk to your nephew that way. [strokes Pancakes' nose] Don't listen to mean Uncle Ryan, Pancakes. That's just the 'roids talkin'. They do make him huge, I know.

Ryan

Can you get him out of here, please, before he ends up in a quesadilla?

Seth

[looks at Ryan in horror] We'll be on the patio. Please bring us another side of carrots.

Ryan

You all right? [sits next to Sandy at the kitchen island]

Sandy

I'm from the Bronx, used to hit guys all the time. Key term: "used to". [Ryan smirks] I am sorry I lost my cool back there.

Ryan

Nah. He kinda asked for it.

Sandy

And I'm sorry things didn't work out with your dad.

Ryan

[sighs] He...my dad is right here. [looks at Sandy] But, you know, if you want, I can teach you a mean left hook just in case

Sandy

[jokingly] Just in case what? You got more relatives showin' up here or what?

Ryan

[grins] I have some mean uncles.

Sandy

I bet you do.
