I used to want to be an architect.
And what do you want to be now?
Seventeen.
Me, too.
S1 E3The Gamble
He basically called me white trash! He said I was from Riverside!
Honey, you are from Riverside.
It was his tone!
DDawn
I'm an embarrassment to my son.
Welcome to my world.
It's gonna be ok.
[scoffs, sarcastically] My mom ditched me, I burned your wife's house down, how is this gonna "be ok"?
Wow! You're all set up for your Newpsie convention! Hey, when do these vultures land?
Soon, and I'm sure that I have a doily out of place somewhere.
Good. Gives them something to talk about.
Well, I should be off. Gotta find the next kid to jeopardize the community. Maybe a Black kid, or an Asian kid. Bye ladies!
What do you do exactly? Real estate or construction?
Dude, don't ask.
I tried to explain it to Seth once and he fell asleep halfway through.
[sheepishly] Ok...but..uh...yeah, it's pretty much true. [Kirsten smirks]
[to Kirsten] Try me.
[Seth groans and leaves]
S1 E4The Debut
Seth, we need to talk to Ryan.
Okay. If this has to do with the rug, though, I just wanted to tell you that Ryan had nothing to do with it.
What about the rug?
I'm gonna go now.
Oh, well, actually, Summer, Ryan's already been promised to someone else.
I can't believe this. You gave him to someone else? Who? Who's pathetic enough not to have a date the day before cotillion?
Actually, at this point, that would be you.
Wait. Are you the kid from Chino who steals cars and sets people's houses on fire? So you're saying I'm making my debut into society with Newport's most wanted?
Is that gonna be a problem?
I can't wait.
Wow, you're a really good barbecutionist.
Could you be any more pathetic? A lone figure sitting on the floor, wondering if he's gonna be lonely for the rest of his life.
Hey, your sensitivity -- it's really, uh, nonexistent.
You know what your problem is? You're not a man.
Again, not appreciating the brutal honesty.
S1 E5The Outsider
Ever since your parents took me in they've been, like, paying for everything. I can't keep taking their money.
They're parents. They work for us.
No, they work for you.
It's kind of a shady neighborhood. It's pretty hardcore up there.
Dude, it's Long Beach, not Chechnya.
It turns out that I'm quite skilled at getting a date, provided it's not for me.
