Taylor Townsend quotes from The O.C.

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.

Ryan

How do you keep doing that?

Taylor

Doing what?

Ryan

That. You keep telling me what I'm thinking before I feel it.

Taylor

Because I think about you, Ryan. I want you to be happy. And I think if you give it a chance, you might feel something, too.

Ryan

Taylor...

Taylor

[makes a face] Are you going to tell me you really like me as a friend?

Ryan

...Maybe.

Ryan

[awestruck] How does she do that?

Ryan

We did not hate you.

Taylor

Oh, you totally hated me. You were probably the president of the "We Hate Taylor" Club.

Ryan

I was the secretary. [Taylor giggles] I took the notes.

Taylor

[grins] Ryan, you made a real joke!

Ryan

Taylor: tonight. Are you busy?

Taylor

Oh. Blog, schmog.

Ryan

Is that a yes?

Taylor

Yes! It is a yes... squared, in all caps, with a exclamation mark and a smiley-faced emoticon.

Ryan

A simple yes will do.

Taylor

Yes.

Ryan

What are you doing, paying your gay friend Roger to pretend he's in love with you?

Taylor

Well, what if I did? What if I did rent a homosexual for the evening? And pay him with rare collectibles from Asian cinema? What difference does it make to you?

Summer

Taylor, whats wrong? You look like you've just seen a ghost.

Taylor

Can you keep a secret? Like, a really big secret? Like, a huge secret?

Summer

Yeah...

Taylor

I think you might be pregnant.

Taylor

This cannot be happening. [to a bookstore worker] Excuse me, uh, what is this book?

A Season for Peaches. It's the bestseller from France. English translation came in today.

Taylor

Okay, what's it about?

Kind of, like, Bridges of Madison County meets The Notebook meets... porn.

Taylor

Oh, my God. Plot, please.

Uh, this Frenchman seduces this young American girl and then they get married... I can't remember where.

Taylor

His family's chapel in Burgundy.

Oh, so you read it.

Taylor

No, I lived it. I'm Peaches.

Taylor

Excuse me, the girl just has a healthy sex drive.

Summer

Yeah, for a hooker.

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.

Summer

[talking about Che] He's flying here. He was feeling weird Seth vibes.

Taylor

All the way from Rhode Island?

Summer

Che transcends space and time.

Je t'aime, Peaches.

Taylor

Oh, no, no, Henri, you don't have to say that.

But I love to say that. Because it is the truth! I will say it a thousand times if you like.

Taylor

Wow. That's, uh... okay, yeah. Say it a thousand times.

I love you un, I love you deux, I love you trois...

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.

Taylor

Are you threatening us?

Kaitlin

[smirks] Totally. It's war, bitch.

Summer

Look, I know you've never had a birthday party before, let alone ever been to one -- but usually people get presents for their birthday. So will you please tell me what you want?

Taylor

[sighs] Okay, honestly? I want Ryan to ask me to go with him to Berkeley next year.

Summer

Okay, I was thinking more along the lines of a cute top...
