Episode Quotes |

Sandy: There's no need for sarcasm.
Seth: I'm not being sarcastic.
Sandy: Well it's hard to tell sometimes.
| Sandy: The minute you were born I knew that I would never take another easy breath again without knowing you were safe.
Seth: So, I'm like asthma?
| Luke: You're okay.
Ryan: Disappointed?
| Ryan: I didn't tell her anything. I think the black turtleneck in August tipped her off.
Seth: Okay, I was going for stealth. And also it's slimming.
| Ryan: I'm not too popular around here. And your boyfriend? A little angry.
Marissa: Oh and you're telling me you didn't try to hit him back?
Ryan: Actually, I hit him first.
Marissa: Well, hard to believe you're not more popular.
| Luke: What are you looking at, you queer?
Seth: (under his breath) Yeah, well at least I don't shave my chest.
Luke: What did you just say?
Seth: I said you look good in a sweater vest. It was a compliment.

Episode Goofs |
| |
When Jimmy is watching the Lakers vs. Pistons Game 7 on ESPN Classic, he says it was in 1986. The Lakers and Pistons faced each other in 1988 and 1989, but not 1986. This factual error was dubbed over for the release of season 1 on DVD.
| When Ryan signs the documents making him eligible for a group home, he signs the papers as Benjamin McKenzie, the name of the actor that plays Ryan, not Ryan Atwood.
| Seth's room, the pool house, and the main house are competely different from the pilot episode. Seth has different posters on his walls, the pool house decor is different, and the countertop in the kitchen of the main house changed from black to an off-white color.
