The O.C. quotes

Ryan

You didn't try to help. You didn't even stop.

Volchok

I got scared. I freaked a hell.

Ryan

And she died. On the side of the road.

Volchok

I think about that night every day. It's all I think about. I wish I could take it back.

Ryan

I don't wanna hear about how bad you feel. Tell me why you did it.

Volchok

Does it matter?

Ryan

It matters to me.

Volchok

I don't know, okay? I mean, I was coming after you. You got the girl I didn't. It was hard for me handle. I just... I wanted you to pull over. And all just... it got out of control.

Ryan

So what? It was all an accident? A mistake?

Volchok

I know that doesn't change anything. So if you wanna finish this... I'm not gonna fight back.

Ryan

I'm not doing any favors. You have to live with what you did. It's over.

Summer

We need to do something. We gotta go.

Seth

Go? Go where?

Summer

The soup kitchen, we're gonna feed the homeless.

Seth

Do we have to? We're already feeding Ryan and he was homeless once.

Seth

[on Summer's answering machine] So... if you don't hear from me for a while, it's not because I don't love you. It's because I do.

Kaitlin

Well, don't worry. We'll find you another old dude to pay for all your stuff and cheat on you.

Julie

Is that what I'm teaching you?

Kaitlin

Pretty much.

Summer

Hey, uh, Che, this is my boyfriend Seth. Seth, this is Che.

Summer, you have a twin flame? [to Seth] I wish I knew you were coming to town. I would have made you a bracelet!

Seth

Oh, hey. Where I come from, we just say "hey.".

Well, to borrow your native tongue... "hey."

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.

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.

[watching his golf ball soar through the air] Well, look at that. Shiite Muslim.

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?

Kaitlin

You should invest in my mother's business.

Or what? You gonna tell everyone what a meany ol' Bullet is and I'm gonna have to sit alone at lunch?! Oh boo hoo hoo hoo.

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!

Summer

Ugh. Che, just shut up, okay, before I tie you up with hemp rope, set you on fire and get high off of the fumes from your burning flesh.

Dark.

Kirsten

I couldn't help but notice that you wanted to talk to Seth.

Ryan

Oh, did I?

Kirsten

Well, since he's out of town and he's gonna be moving out next semester, you're gonna need a new Seth. Don't tell Sandy, but I thought I would audition for the job.

Ryan

Oh. Uh, yeah, well, that's... very thoughtful.

Kirsten

So... how does it work? Do I ask you what's on your mind, or...?

Ryan

Uh, usually you talk about yourself and I solve my problems on my own.
