Episode notes
Jem performs live in this episode.
In this episode, we learn that Kirsten once had an abortion.
When Ryan leaves Newport, he is wearing the same outfit he arrived in one year before.
Ryan also watches Marissa at the end of her driveway as he did the first time he left Newport.
This episode was very reminiscent of the pilot episode.
the tie that bind
Seth: She's probably not even pregnant. Maybe you shoot blanks.
Ryan: I feel much better.
Seth: I think this was the very stretch of beach where we got our asses kicked by the water polo team.
Seth: In fact, having you around to defend me, I’ve kinda gotten soft. Without anybody picking on me, there’s really been no need for the Seth Cohen to retaliatory zinger.
Summer: ...about my best friend.
Seth: Princess Sparkle is freaking out?
Seth: Ohh ... I've missed you. It's been too long.
Ryan: You're talking to a boat, Seth.
Seth: Yeah, I talk to a plastic horse, too, but that never worries anyone.
Seth: Hey man, they raised me, okay? Proof, pudding. Speaking of pudding, Mother, do we have any tapioca on tap?
Seth: I just love pudding. It's so fun to say. Pudding. Puuudding. Puudding. Puuuudding.
Jimmy: Your mother has to wake up every morning and be Julie Cooper. That's punishment enough.
Kirsten: Is everything ok?
Seth: Hmm? Yeah, it's fine.
Theresa: I'm pregnant.
Seth: Well, except for that.
Julie: Classy choice Jimmy. Although it's pretty obvious that you're with her because you can't be with Kirsten. You know, in psychology, I think that's called transference.
Summer: What's going to happen to Ryan and Marissa? They're like the perfect couple.
Seth: Based on your parents' marriage, I sort of understand that perspective.
Summer: I'm holding hot coffee, Cohen.
Seth: Well, if you need anything, I'll take the graveyard shift.
Ryan: I think we'll manage.
Seth: I was afraid you'd say that.
Summer: We're not having sex again.
Seth: Ok, we've had enough pain and suffering already.
Summer: I can't believe your boat's name is Summer. What a coincidence. My name's Summer. Your boat's named Summer. It's kind of crazy.
Seth: Yeahahaha. It's just... crazy.
Summer: Well, it's the only Summer you'll be riding for a while.
Seth: Right. Yeah. No sex. I got it.
Sandy: It's ironic, Julie leaves Jimmy, marries you. Now he's worth millions and you're going to be broke!
Marissa: Believe me if there was something I could do, I would.
Seth: Oh, well, I think you've done enough.
Marissa: What does that mean?
Seth: I just don't even think Ryan would be back with Theresa if it wasn't for you and Oliver in the first place. Really, all you ever did, was drag that kid into your messed up life.
Summer: We're not having sex again.
Seth: Ok, we've had enough pain and suffering already.
Marissa: I think we should spend the entire summer just being normal.
Ryan: What, even Seth?
Marissa: No, no. That'd be impossible.
Kirsten: Colored lights, no way. White lights only because colored lights remind my father of a carnival. And he hates carnivals.
Sandy: Note to self: hang with carnies.
Sandy: Now come on, get dressed. We got to witness the most unholy of all unions
Theresa: 85˘. Great. I'll put it towards the baby's college tuition.
Seth: I think this was the very stretch of beach where we got our asses kicked by the water polo team.
Sandy: So that's why you wanted us out of the restaurant. Why you sneaky... not so successful son of a bitch.
Sandy: And Kirsten's not even a hugger.
Kirsten: You always know how to ruin a moment.
Sandy: Just because you're leaving doesn't mean I'm letting you go.
Kirsten: If I learned to cook, could we convince you to stay?
Summer: They sent me to find you… Found you. I figured you'd be stuffing your pockets with cocktail weenies.
Seth: For the record? The boat was named after you.
Seth: He's the only friend I've ever had.
Summer: No. You have me.
