Seth: Dip a toe in the Chrismukkah pool, buddy. There's room for all of us!
 
Ryan: What are you wrapping?
Seth: Two Seth Cohen Starter Packs. We've got Death Cab, we've got Brighteyes... and we've got The Goonies. It's not just for kids, Ryan.
 
Seth: How was the mall?
Ryan: Eh, weird.
Seth: Yes. You've really painted a picture for me. I feel like I was there.
 
Caleb: C'mon Sanford, it's a party. Get back to your Berkeley days. Maybe you can smoke the tree.
