I appreciate you being cautious but this seems personal
It is personal. Ryan is our son because Frank turned his back on his family. He has hurt Ryan before, I'm not gonna let him do it again.
“My Two Dads” · Season 4, Episode 9
In this episode: Seth Cohen (4), Sandy Cohen (3), Ryan Atwood (2), Summer Roberts (2), Kirsten Cohen (1)
Shalom, Cohen. Since you brought me presents yesterday, I thought I'd return the favor.
Oh, that is sweet!
[hands Seth a pamphlet] So, here's information on the four C's. Carat, clarity, color and cut.
Ah, diamonds. Sure, sure, if we're doing this, we'd better do it right.
Exactly. Which means nothing less than two carats.
Nah, three. You're worth it.
I've been thinking Yeats or maybe Shelley.
You're working on the guest list?
Those are poets, Summer, and their words will inspire my vows. Have you been working on yours?
Why yes, I was thinking of, uh, Shel Silverstein with a dash of Dr. Seuss. "I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful, one hundred per cent!"
[deadpan] Very moving, Summer.
I know!
[to Kirsten] Our yin and yang style of parenting has produced two pretty good kids.
[to Summer's pet rabbit Pancakes] We sort of had a dog once.
[sees Pancakes in Seth's sling bag] Dude, you can't bring that animal in here. What are you doing?
How dare you talk to your nephew that way. [strokes Pancakes' nose] Don't listen to mean Uncle Ryan, Pancakes. That's just the 'roids talkin'. They do make him huge, I know.
Can you get him out of here, please, before he ends up in a quesadilla?
[looks at Ryan in horror] We'll be on the patio. Please bring us another side of carrots.
You all right? [sits next to Sandy at the kitchen island]
I'm from the Bronx, used to hit guys all the time. Key term: "used to". [Ryan smirks] I am sorry I lost my cool back there.
Nah. He kinda asked for it.
And I'm sorry things didn't work out with your dad.
[sighs] He...my dad is right here. [looks at Sandy] But, you know, if you want, I can teach you a mean left hook just in case
[jokingly] Just in case what? You got more relatives showin' up here or what?
[grins] I have some mean uncles.
I bet you do.
