Ryan Atwood quotes from The O.C.

Ryan

Met your ex-husband last night. He was at the bookstore, doing a reading.

Taylor

Wait, you met Henri-Michel? How did you know it was him?

Ryan

Dirty hair? Scarf? Smells like brie?

Taylor

That's Henri-Michel.

Sandy

Are you sure you don't wanna come?

Kirsten

Watching a movie about a guy eating a live octopus? I think I'll pass.

Seth

It's also got one of the greatest fight sequences in probably the last five years.

Ryan

[sarcastically to Seth] Yeah, I think that'll convince her.

Seth

Listen, Mom, what better way to see out your thirties than a little South Korean shock cinema.

Sandy

Nobody plans a surprise party like Sandy Cohen. I could've been with the CIA.

Ryan

Hmm.

Seth

[deadpan] I heard they're known for their birthday parties.

Ryan

I cannot believe that you tried to steal Newport Chuck.

Seth

Sometimes the universe makes you do things that you don't even understand.

Ryan

Sure. Well, Sandy didn't seem too upset about it.

Seth

Are you kidding? He's waited eighteen years for me to be arrested for political activism. It's probably the proudest moment of his entire life.

Taylor

Okay, they're gonna play the money card but we can play the emotion card. Am I right Ryan?

Ryan

Yeah, you're right.

Taylor

Okay, Frank. Tell me what it is that you love about Julie?

Well, um... She's... Uh...

Taylor

I forgot what we're dealing with here. Atwoods on Valentine's Day.

Taylor

I mean, your dad and Julie Cooper. It's just so––

Ryan

[deadpan] ––incestuous, inappropriate.

Taylor

Well, look at you being all hyper-articulate.

Ryan

These are really good croissants.

Taylor

Don't you have the feeling we're on the cusp of something, and we just need to leap into the void?

Ryan

Did you get these at Joe's?

Taylor

Ryan, don't you have that feeling?

Ryan

[confused] What?

Taylor

I don't understand how you're not drunk?

Ryan

Oh, it's the Atwood genes, we're built to withstand massive quantities of alcohol.

Taylor

I don't know what to say.

Ryan

That's a first.

Seth

You may find this hard to believe, Ryan... but when I was younger, I used to be a bit of a worrier.

Ryan

You don't say

Seth

To distract myself from worrying, I would sometimes make lists. It didn't matter what the lists were of, it could be anything. Every cereal I've ever eaten, or the names of every planet mentioned in Star Wars. Whatever."

Ryan

You wanna make a list, Seth?

Seth

Oh, yeah. Whatever. Sure, if you want to. We could start with everyone you've punched in the face...since moving to Newport. First would be Luke at Holly's beach house

Ryan

Yeah, & number two would be Luke.

Seth

Right, at the diner.

Ryan

Yeah, & again at the model home.

Seth

What about Holly's dad at the cotilion?

Ryan

That was more of a tackle

Seth

Which takes us back to Luke

Ryan

Yeah. TJ.

Seth

Although, you're going to have to wrap your head about the fact that we're really brothers now... We're blood brothers.

Ryan

You donated blood?

Seth

Eh, I had an extra few pints flowing through my veins. It was no big deal.

Ryan

Hm. You're not a big fan of needles.

Seth

Nor of fainting, it turns out. But the bank was a little low and us O negative guys gotta stick together.

Ryan

Hm. It's weird, cause all of the sudden I have this strange urge to listen to Death Cab and read comic books.

Seth

For real?

Ryan

No. I'm kidding.

Seth

Okay, I've always wondered, in your opinion, who is the better food industry server, I guess: Chloe, the magical waitress from Albequerque, or Donny, the angry busboy who shot Luke?

Ryan

I'll go with Chloe on that one.

Seth

Good. What I thought, what I thought. Desert island: Sadie, the tough-as-nails yet soulful jewelry maker, or Lindsay, my grandfather's illegitimate bookish love child?

Seth

Now, ahem, when last we checked... need some help with that?... we were on Trey. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe we went from Trey to a lengthy Volchok period.

Ryan

Yeah. Hey, thanks for this.

Seth

Yeah. Now unless you hit that Chili guy. Or Johnny. I know a lot of people were rooting for that.

Ryan

You donated blood?

Seth

Aah, I had an extra few pints flowing through my veins, it's no big deal.

Ryan

Hmm, you're not a big fan of needles.

Seth

Nor of fainting, it turns out, but the bank was a little low and us O-negative guys gotta stick together.

Ryan

Hm, that's weird, cause all of a sudden I have this strange urge to listen to Death Cab and read comic books.

Seth

Really?

Ryan

No, I'm kidding.

Kirsten

You're making crepes?

Ryan

Yeah. Taylor sent Kaitlin a griddle from France.

Kaitlin

With a super-long note about how I need to broaden my breakfast horizons. She's 6,000 miles away and still annoying.
