Nana: Shawn and your dad used to hang in a gang together.
Seth: Yeah? Bloods or Crips, father?
 
Sandy: Oh, c'mon, Mom. It's Ryan's first Seder.
Seth: How do you know that? Don't assume that. They have Jews in Chino. Why do you think they want a P.F. Cheng's?
 
Nana: Oh God. What am I doing here? I hate this state, I hate the sunshine, I hate the ocean, I hate Schwarzenegger!
 
Seth: Mom, Hailey made three kinds of pancakes and waffles. They're deliciously redundant.
 
Seth: So what's the GPRA?
Ryan: I have no idea what you just said.
Seth: Game plan, Ryan Atwood.
Ryan: You're just using initials now?
Seth: Yeah. They save time.
Ryan: Well, not if you have friends that don't.
Seth: GP.
Ryan: Game Plan?
Seth: Good Point.
 
Sandy: (about the pancakes) Enjoy them now, because we only have two hours to unleaven the entire house.
 
Summer: I'm gonna study this thing so hard I'm even gonna out-Jew you.
