Sandy Cohen quotes from The O.C.

Kirsten

Then it's back to the Newport Group, business as usual?

Sandy

Well, how ‘bout not? I went back to my old office, the place looked worse than ever. The guy in there was beaten down, exhausted... oh, it was a thing of beauty.

Seth

A table set for four feels kinda weird.

Sandy

Well, things have been a little weird around here lately. Tonight might not be any different. We shouldn't be expecting any miracles

Seth

Zippy one-liners.

Kirsten

Not a lot of smiles.

Sandy

A few grunts, an occasional shrug.

Seth

It'll just like be old times.

Seth

Now, you may never save the planet but you did save us. So, this is our story. It's true, when you showed up, I had a superpower but it was one I didn't want: being invisible. Not as much fun as it sounds.

Kirsten

The Ice Queen was surrounded by an impenetrable force field. Her silver cellphone was her only link to the outside world.

Sandy

The Litigator strained to hold up the weight of the world, so burdened with the problems of others that he couldn't see those of his own family

Seth

One day, the Litigator brought his work home with him. Only this time, his work looked strangely like a young Russell Crowe.

Sandy

[drops Ryan off] Well, here we are. That's it. Thanks for taking the time, letting us make fools of ourselves. Meant a lot to Seth, and to Kirsten. Not so much to me. I'm no softie.

Sandy

Here she comes.

Taylor

You know, it's odd, but, I never appreciated how funny Ryan is. Huh. Life, such a journey. Well, have a nice day. [leaves]

Sandy

She said Ryan was funny.

Kirsten

I appreciate you being cautious but this seems personal

Sandy

It is personal. Ryan is our son because Frank turned his back on his family. He has hurt Ryan before, I'm not gonna let him do it again.

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.

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.

Sandy

Sophie Rose Cohen. It's got a nice ring to it.

Kirsten

She's beautiful, isn't she?

Seth

She really will be in two years, when she doesn't look like a squished meatball.

Ryan

You just called your sister a squished meatball.

Sandy

Shoulda seen what you looked like when you were born.

Kirsten

Oh, he was beautiful, too.

Seth

Yeah. I was.

Sandy

Yeah, you looked like you went 12 rounds with Joe Frazier.
