Episode Quotes
 
Seth: My stomach is way too Jewish for that ride.
 
Julie: You know my daughter right? Tall, pretty, wears Chanel. Not exactly what you would call "gangsta"!
 
Sandy: She kept this place in tip top shape without so much as picking up a sponge.
Ryan: Yeah. How did she do that?
Seth: Her presence kept us neat, Ryan, It's her Protestant evil eye. It's a powerful thing.
Sandy: She's a woman of many talents.
 
Dean Hess: You almost killed another kid. I don't even hear a hint of remorse in your voice.
Marissa: Because I don't have any. I'm proud of what I did and I'd do it again.
 
Seth: We thought you could use some breakfast. We've got bagels. And a support group. (brings out Captain Oats and Princess Sparkle)
Summer: Captain Oats is a really good listener. Princess Sparkle, she just stands there and looks cute.
 
Summer: She's Taylor Townsend. She's like the Karl Rove of our school.
Seth: So, you can take Karl Rove— You know who Karl Rove is?
Summer: Yeah, my step-mom sometimes naps in front of CNN. I hear things as I'm dragging her off to bed.
