Taylor Townsend quotes from The O.C.

Taylor

[to Summer] Intimacy, it's a tricky business.

Taylor

In the rock-paper-scissors of romance, love trumps fear. Actually love trumps everything.

Taylor

But if I can leave you all with one final word of advice: Illegitimis nil carborundum. Don't let the bastards get you down!

Taylor

[on the phone with Summer] Being an expat totally suits me. Except that I miss you! You can only parlais so much français until you start to get a little nostalgic for the motherland.

Taylor

[to Ryan] No, I accepted your gift: the holiday-themed rejection. So now you accept mine!

Taylor

Look who's funny in alt-world!

Taylor

Okay, Ryan. Even if I was that limber, you know I would never do that in the Chunnel.

Taylor

I've never met an awkward silence I couldn't fill.

Taylor

Oh my God, I know and how many times have they predicted the big one and it never happens. Almost makes you wish that it would.

Taylor

Summer, do you really think Pancakes is in the attic? Like he pulled down the ladder, hopped up and then put it away?

Seth

Oh God, incoming.

Taylor

Hey, guys, have you heard about the lock-in tomorrow night? The entire senior class is going to spend the night in the gym.

Summer

Oh, we can't make it.

Seth

Yeah, I'm taking off my arm with a hacksaw.

Taylor

Summer, feel my forehead.

Summer

What? Why?

Taylor

I have college fever. Don't you?

Summer

Maybe. What are the symptoms? You become incredibly annoying?

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.

Taylor

"Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;/Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes."

Kirsten

Taylor, that's beautiful.

Taylor

Shakespeare. Old Bill's always good for a line.
