Marissa Cooper quotes from The O.C.

Ryan

What is this thing you have?

Marissa

What thing?

Ryan

Always helping these kinds of guys.

Marissa

What, the wounded loner types? [Ryan looks down smiling] Sometimes they turn out to be good guys.

Seth

Marissa, I'm gonna need to borrow you for a second, 'cause, we're gonna have to work on Summer's birthday present.

Marissa

Her birthday's not for like eight months.

Seth

What to get the girl who has everything? We need to plan early.

Ryan

What do you want from me?

Marissa

I want you.

Marissa

Oh, my God. You're listening to your own voice.

Summer

You see, on all the TV shows I watch, all these women have voice-overs. They even gave one to April on The Valley. Now, where most of these voice-overs, they don't make much sense, they do make your life seem more dramatic and meaningful.

Marissa

So you think our lives need to be more dramatic?

Summer

No. Not yours.

Ryan

You know, this is gonna sound weird, but can I drive you to the airport? You were the first person I met here, I'd kinda like to be the last person to say goodbye.

Marissa

You know, it's funny. I was gonna ask you the same thing.

Ryan

Okay... This looks familiar.

Marissa

Yeah, well, it shouldn't. They rebuilt it completely after you burned it down.

Summer

You guys ever wonder what life would be like if Atwood never came here?

Marissa

I definitely never would've talked to Seth.

Summer

Ah, hell no. Me either.

Ryan

See, you owe me one, buddy.

Seth

Me? She'd [points to Marissa] still be dating the dude who shaves his chest.

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.

Julie

Marissa, I just want you to know that, everything I ever did, good, bad, or otherwise, I did it for you. So that you could have a better life than I had. And I know I wasn't perfect. I mean, the thing with Luke and trying to frame Ryan for attempted homicide...

Marissa

Mom, I love you. Ok, just know that. (both crying)

Julie

Oh sweetheart, that's all I wanted. I love you too.

Marissa

Besides, you know the strength it takes to start over, to go out on my own? That has to come from being Julie Cooper's daughter.

Julie

I am spirited, aren't I?
