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.
You know, it's funny. I was gonna ask you the same thing.
“The Graduates” · Season 3, Episode 25
In this episode: Seth Cohen (6), Ryan Atwood (5), Marissa Cooper (5), Sandy Cohen (3), Summer Roberts (2), Julie Cooper (2), Volchok (2), Kirsten Cohen (1)
[Ryan gets out of his car after Marissa has directed them to a model home.]
Okay... This looks familiar.
Yeah, well, it shouldn't. They rebuilt it completely after you burned it down.
You guys ever wonder what life would be like if Atwood never came here?
I definitely never would've talked to Seth.
Ah, hell no. Me either.
See, you owe me one, buddy.
Me? She'd [points to Marissa] still be dating the dude who shaves his chest.
Dad, remember when I called you the worst father ever? Right after that, I swung by your place of work, I smoked a joint, I forgot to put it out and now your office fits into an ashtray.
I'm gonna go the car and get my iPod, listen to sad, depressing music for a change.
Is everything OK at home?
Sandy Cohen and I got a little man-boy lovin' going on.
Hey! Let's go graduate!
But if I can leave you all with one final word of advice: Illegitimis nil carborundum. Don't let the bastards get you down!
KDr. Kim
And it has been my pleasure to teach you, to watch you grow, and now enter the world. Good luck. It is my honor to present to you the Harbor School class of 2006!
Ryan got a car? Really? I've been waiting 3 years for a car! I'm supposed to be the spoiled one.
(to Ryan) If I go down, you're going down with me.
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.
One last time.
We both screwed up.
We're both usually so awesome.
Excuse me, forgive me, but I'm a very proud father, and I, I want to say a few words. I think I can speak for Kirsten and the other parents here tonight, when I tell you kids how thrilled we are to share this wonderful touchstone with you (applause). I know the last few years have been a little rough for us (everyone groans and laughs). There's been tragedy, and comedy, and first loves, and broken hearts. Family members were lost, and found. It hasn't all been perfect, but we're all family here. So cheers.
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...
Mom, I love you. Ok, just know that. (both crying)
Oh sweetheart, that's all I wanted. I love you too.
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.
I am spirited, aren't I?
