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.
S3 E25The Graduates
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?
Then it's back to the Newport Group, business as usual?
Well, how ‘bout not? I went back to my old office, the place looked worse than ever. The guy in there was beaten down, exhausted... oh, it was a thing of beauty.
Oh, my God. Cooper family hug.
I asked you for clothes, not opinions. You chicks and your opinions, man.
Marissa (to Ryan; her last words before she dies): No, stay. Don't leave.

[knocking on Ryan's door] Ryan!
Seth, go away! I'm sleeping!
You're sleeping? And you're talking? Ryan, I don't even see how that's possible unless you're talking in your sleep.
[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.
A table set for four feels kinda weird.
Well, things have been a little weird around here lately. Tonight might not be any different. We shouldn't be expecting any miracles
Zippy one-liners.
Not a lot of smiles.
A few grunts, an occasional shrug.
It'll just like be old times.
You wanna tell them about your new vocation or should I?
I'm not gonna tell them about it and neither are you. [Seth looks at him in disbelief] Sorry, just forget it.
Well, I don't know. Sandy's got a really memory. It's not gonna be so easy for him to forget the kid he adopted and my mom's still kinda fond of you...
Yeah, I'm doing you guys a favor staying away.
You're doing us a favor?!
I'm just a magnet for trouble...Trey, Volchok, you and your family...you're better off without me.
It's not true, it's not your fault. [Ryan looks at him] Any of it.
[to Seth] I don't do sarcasm anymore. I'm post-ironic.
Now, you may never save the planet but you did save us. So, this is our story. It's true, when you showed up, I had a superpower but it was one I didn't want: being invisible. Not as much fun as it sounds.
The Ice Queen was surrounded by an impenetrable force field. Her silver cellphone was her only link to the outside world.
The Litigator strained to hold up the weight of the world, so burdened with the problems of others that he couldn't see those of his own family
One day, the Litigator brought his work home with him. Only this time, his work looked strangely like a young Russell Crowe.
[...]
[drops Ryan off] Well, here we are. That's it. Thanks for taking the time, letting us make fools of ourselves. Meant a lot to Seth, and to Kirsten. Not so much to me. I'm no softie.
S4 E2The Gringos
So where we going?
Mexico.
Perfect. I need Chiclets.
