Julie Cooper quotes from The O.C.

Julie

Oh, classy choice, Jimmy, although it's pretty obvious that you're with her because you can't be with Kirsten. You know, I think in psychology that's called transference.

Jimmy

Oh, and you marrying Caleb, I think in psychology that's called shameless gold-digging.

Julie

Truth is, being CEO is a bitch.

Jimmy

Hmm, you'd think you'd be a natural.

Julie

I was easier to love back then. I was beautiful and much nicer.

Jimmy

Jules, c'mon. You're still beautiful. And we both know you were never nice.

Julie

It's been so long since we've done this.

Jimmy

Well, it's like riding a bike... An incredibly toned and, you know, evenly tanned and limber bike.

Kirsten

I thought you two were getting along really well.

Julie

What makes you say that?

Kirsten

Last week, when you said you and Jimmy were getting along really well.

Julie

When I was in Europe, I did some real soul-searching.

Marissa

I hope you didn't hurt yourself.

Julie

That's very punk of you. You know, I used to like punk in my day.

Marissa

Mom!

Julie

Okay, Marissa. It still is my day. I was just being modest.

Julie

Why this guy? He launched a magazine called The Ugly American.

Kirsten

I've heard of that. It's an independent travel magazine. It's won a bunch of awards.

Julie

Fine, but our magazine is about beautiful Americans.

Lance

Actually, I have something for you.

Julie

Yeah? Last time you gave me something, I drank cranberry juice for a week.

Alex

Marissa's not... happy.

Julie

Marissa and happy parted ways about her 16th birthday but have you met her new friends sullen and vindictive?

Alex

No, the only ones she's brought over to the house are scared and overwhelmed."

Marissa

Hello mother. No, I'm not coming home, okay? Bye.

Julie

Please, do not... [Marissa hangs up] She's such a little me.

Sandy

Julie, you scared me. More than usual.

Julie

Always a pleasure, Sanford.

Sandy

Only Caleb gets to call me Sanford because he won't not.

Julie

I am so screwed.

Sandy

I know. I saw the footage.

Julie

I made a mistake, Kiki... A naked mistake.

Kirsten

Excuse me?

Julie

A hundred years ago, a boyfriend convinced me to let him film me. In the act. I was young, living on rum, and I needed the money.

Lance

Jules -- how the hell did you find me?

Julie

Well, it was easy, Lance. I just looked for the cheapest, scummiest motel near a liquor store, and voilà.
