Episode Quotes
 
Sandy: I got an excuse to come by for you and get shrimp tacos.
Ryan: Yeah, Kirsten warned me about that. You're limited to two a week.
Sandy: Ah, I knew I should have divorced that dame.
 
Taylor: You know that shirt really brings out your eyes.
Ryan: It's black.
 
Seth: So the old you is back?
Summer: In all my artificially tanned glory.
 
(on the phone)
Seth: Hey Summer. I know flying home early is your move but I stole it. I just want you to keep doing what you're doing because I think it's pretty amazing. If you don't hear from me for a while, it's not because I don't love you .... it's because I do.
 
Taylor: Well back to you, and your life. What is your favorite fruit?
Ryan: Peaches.
Taylor: He used to say my breasts were like two soft --
Ryan: (interrupting) Is that him?
 
(Summer walks up to Seth in the airport and starts making out with him)
Seth: Wow, watch it lady, my girlfriend's coming.
Summer: Shut up Cohen! (slugs Seth)
Seth: Aw, you just punched me. My baby's back!
 
Terry: Have you met my friend? Julie Cooper, urban cougar.
 
Seth: Old Summer's been replaced by the real Summer and she looks suspiciously like the new Summer.
Ryan: So she's still in her Go Green phase?
Seth: I don't think it's a phase, man. I think this is her life now and it's obvious I don't fit in.
 
Kirsten: So you're really giving up on men?
Julie: Men are to me what Chardonnay is to you. One sip and I'm upside down on a chandelier. Not that you've ever done that.
 
Seth: I still can't believe you had no reaction to my tatoo.
Summer: I had a reaction. I told you to get that thing removed.
 
Sandy: Hey! Didn't I defendant you a couple years ago for a B&E?
Daryl: Yeah. Now I remember. I called you Crazy Eyebrow Man.
Sandy: Well. I'll take that as a compliment.
