Episode Quotes |

(during flashback; Nick and Hannah are in bed together when Eddie walks in)
Eddie: Oh, goodbye sex, huh? It's always the best kind.
Hannah: How would you know? You never say goodbye. You're always around.
| Nick: Look, I really am sorry, Eddie. I never thought anyone would get torn up in the process, especially you. I left here that summer with every intention of coming back to the Ridge. Then on the last night of the trip, I'm literally packing my bags and I remembered something mom told me before she died. She said "You gotta promise me, Nicky, never to settle for anything less than unexpected adventure." And I couldn't kick the feeling that if I came back here, I'd be have giving up on that. It's like once I stayed away, staying away became away. Any of this make sense? (Nick looks at Eddie to find that he's passed out)
| Ikey: I got a bone to pick. I read your book 3 times. I still can't figure out which character is suppose to be me.
Nick: That's because there wasn't a character based on you.
Ikey: Well, now I'm really pissed!
| Nick: Ronnie didn't tell you I was coming home.
The Commander: No, no. Long term effects of marijuana and video games have affected him in the short term.
| Eddie: (to Nick) You seem to have forgotten which side of October Road you belong on.

Editor: G. Gordon Liddy was afraid of rats, so he cooked one up and ate it.
George Gordon "Battle" Liddy, known as G. Gordon Liddy, was one of the main men, along with E. Howard Hunt, who planned former President Richard Nixon's 1972 break-in to the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate building. After Nixon's resignation and a stint in prison, Liddy became a radio talk-show host. In order to get over his large fear of rats, Liddy caught, cooked, and ate a rat.
