Episode punch count: 4

The Gamble

Sandy: Well, I should be off. Got to find the next kid to jeopardize the community. Maybe a black kid. Or an Asian kid. Bye, ladies.

Seth: I...what? Yes, what is up. Uh...I'm going to visit Ryan. I thought, you know, maybe you'd like to come. I'm sure he'd love to see you.
Marissa: [loud] Uh, what's that, Seth? Did you say you need a ride to a Star Wars convention?
Seth: The Star Wars convention? I'm sorry. Her top was off. You couldn't have at least said "X-Men" for me?

Julie: You will not believe what Sandy Cohen said to me. He basically called me white trash. He said I was from Riverside.
Jimmy: Honey, you are from Riverside.
Julie: It was his tone.

Ryan: I worked construction a couple summers. And I used to want to be an architect.
Kirsten: What do you want to be now?
Ryan: 17.
Kirsten: [laughs] Me too.

Seth: Hi, Summer. Seth Cohen.
Summer: I'm superstitious. Blow on these.
Seth: What?
Summer: [holds out dice in her hand] Blow.

Summer: You're not going anywhere, Sid.
Seth: Seth.
Summer: Whatever.

Kirsten: You can't do this. You're his mother.
Dawn: I'm a mess. Not a mother.
Kirsten: You have a responsibility.
Dawn: I'm being responsible. I'm not wired for this. I can't care for anybody else. I don't have what you got. The way your husband looks at you. And your kid looks at you. Even my kid... Like, no matter what, you're going to make everything okay. You hold your family together. I tear mine apart.
Kirsten: You can't walk away.
Dawn: Why? This'd be the first good thing I ever did for him. This way he ends up with a real mom. Take care of him, okay? He deserves it.

Julie: Marissa, honey, enough moping. It's very sweet that you're so concerned about this boy, but he's in the system now. He's being taken care of. And he's not your responsibility because he's in love with you.
Marissa: He's not in love with me.
Julie: Why not? He thinks he's too good for you?
Marissa: Actually, he thinks I'm too good for him.
