Episode notes

The character of Anna was only supposed to be a one-time thing, but b/c of such the awesome feedback from her performance the producers kept her in.

Episode punch count: 4

The Debut

Ryan: Guess I don’t really fit in, huh?
Sandy: Oh, I got news for you. Nobody does. I guarantee you--every single person at that cotillion feels like a fraud. They’ve all got secrets and they’re all terrified the guy net door is going to find them out.
Ryan: So, what’s your secret?
Sandy: Sometimes, when the sun’s coming up and the surf is good, and I haven’t pissed my wife off quite as much as I have today, I kind of like this place.

Kirsten: Seth, we need to talk to Ryan.
Seth: Okay...if this has to do with the rug, though, I just want to tell you that..Ryan had nothing to do with it.
Kirsten: What about the rug?
Seth: I'm going to go now.

Kirsten: We've all talked about it and we want to be your legal gaurdians. We want you to be part of the family. If you want to be.
Ryan: What if it doesn't work?
Kirsten: Well, how do you mean?
Ryan: Um...what if something happens and you guys change your mind?
Sandy: Like what? You steal a car? You burn down a house? You beat up the captian of the water polo team? Those ships have sailed, my friend.

Sandy: Waltzing and orchids, what could be more you?

Ryan: You knew about this and didn't say anything.
Seth: I didn't want to jinx it. Dude. You're a Cohen, now. Welcome to a life of insecurity and paralyzing self-doubt.

Ryan: Yeah. Now all I have to do is...stay out of trouble.
Seth: Yeah, that could be...difficult.

Sandy: Seth, we'd like to speak to Ryan alone.
Seth: If this is about the rug, Ryan had nothing to do with it.
Kirstin: What about the rug?
Seth: I'll be going now.

Summer: [looking at Ryan] Every girl needs a white night.
Seth: Seth Cohen, white knight.

Anna: Wait. Are you the kid 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?
Ryan: Is that going to be a problem?
Anna: I can’t wait.

Seth: Are you just not going to go ‘cause you’re afraid of Luke?
Ryan: That’s not what I’m afraid of. Look, your parents taking me in, that’s, like, the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me. I’m not going to lose it just to kick some guy’s ass.
Seth: But you could totally kick his ass, right?
Ryan: Oh, yeah.

Seth: Anna, just know that in life there are peaks and...
Anna: Ryan's not coming, is he?
Seth: Kinda took the wind out of my sails there, but yes.

Anna: I mean, whatever you think about the whole superhero movie genre, at least it’s getting people to read the original source material.
Seth: I cannot believe that you read comics books. I mean, you’re a girl.
Anna: What is that supposed to mean? And I call them graphic novels. In fact, if more people did, maybe the whole form wouldn’t be so marginalized.
Seth: I couldn’t agree more.

Anna: Do you know what girls find sexy?
Seth: Nope. Uh, wait, let me guess. Dudes who play water polo?

Anna: Could you be anymore pathetic? Lone figure, sitting on the floor, wondering if he’s going to be lonely for the rest of his life.
Seth: Oh, hey, your sensitivity, it’s really…nonexistent.
Anna: You know what your problem is? You’re not a man.
Seth: Again, not appreciating the brutal honesty.

Seth: So, do you think that I’ll get to see you again?
Anna: Hmm, no.
Seth: Oh, okay.
Anna: No, it’s just…I know this might sound kind of whatever, but…I’m spending the rest of the summer on a sailing trip…to Tahiti.
Seth: You like sailing?
Anna: Yeah.
[Seth blinks a few times.]

Ryan: You didn't tell me there was dancing.
Seth: Well if I told you there was dancing, I'd be here by myself.
Ryan: Because I really don't dance.
Seth: Neither do I. I just move well.
