OC quotes .:seth cohen's humor:.

Episode notes

Seth mentions that he hopes Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, and Kate Bosworth show up at the party. Adam Brody once mentioned in a online chat that those were the women he had crushes on. (just proof that adam has good taste)

Colin Hanks starred in the movie 'Orange County'

Colin Hanks' character on 'The Valley' has the last name Needleman. In the original 'O.C.' script this was to be the Cohen's last name.

"How does that guy play high school?" Ryan says this injoke of how him (and many other actors) are much older than their characters they play.

Summer goes about asking Grady about it being weird dating a costar and in reallife, Rachel and Adam are dating.

Marissa mentions "you're a little shorter than i imagined' which Benjamin admits that many of his fans are found saying (plus, it's an inside joke between cast mates)

Adam goes, "ad-libbing. Ooo!" Adam, himself, is notorious for ad-libbing many of his lines.

Summer: It's just so good. I wish I was from the valley...

Seth [to Grady]: I heard some really, really awful music and I knew it could only be self indulgent actors with instruments.

Summer: Wait! You two are dating. Oh God, don’t you think that’s a bad idea? I mean, what if things don’t work out? And you guys break up and, I mean, isn’t that bad for the show?
