  Seth : I'm sorry. I'm the brains.

  Ryan : You can be the beauty.

  Marissa : Okay, thanks.

  Summer : Great, and what am I, Cohen?

  Seth : Uh, the boobs?

  [Summer hits him] 

  Seth : Uh, the bitch?

  Summer : Okay, I'll take the boobs.

  Seth : Hey. So will I.

  [Summer laughs] 

  Seth : [later] 

  Marissa : See, I think I should be the brains.

  Ryan : No, Seth's the brains.

  Marissa : Well, you're clearly not the beauty.

  Ryan : Ooooh, and now someone's the bitch.

  [smiles] 

• Summer : Do you remember that movie we saw about the two gay guys on the mountain?

  Marissa : Lord of the Rings?

• Marissa : I love you.

  Ryan : Uh... Thank you?

• Marissa : It *will* be fun!

  Summer : What's more fun than watching a neurotic freak bat his eyes at perfect pixie chick?

  Marissa : I was being sarcastic.

  Summer : So was I. Which neither one of us was before Cohen came along and taught us all irony... Jackass!

• Marissa : So, I'll make you a deal. Whatever song comes on the radio next will be our song.

  Ryan : Okay.

  [Marissa turns on the radio, a loud rap song comes on] 

  Ryan : [sarcastically]  Oh, yeah. That's definitely us.

• Marissa : [speaking loudly]  Uh, what's that, Seth? Did you say you need a ride to a Star Wars convention?

  [She walks into the hallway with Seth and closes the door] 

  Seth : The Star Wars convention? I'm sorry. Her top was off. You couldn't have at least said X-Men for me?

• Marissa : So, my mum's trying to drag me to cardio bar again. It's her idea of mother-daughter bonding.

  Summer : Cardio bar, Coop?

  Marissa : Well, she says it's the new Taibo. So maybe I can learn to kick her ass.

  Summer : I don't think you need to do any more cardio.

  Marissa : What's that supposed to mean?

  Summer : Nothing. It's just that - well and I mean this in the least scandalous way but you're looking a little thin.

  Marissa : I eat!

• Summer : Ugh, this bikini is so uncomfortable. I need to go get a new one. You want to go to South Coast?

  Marissa : Totally. There's a Paul Frank sale there on Wednesday.

  Summer : Wednesday? I can't. I have plans with Zach.

  Marissa : Oh, more plans with Zach, huh?

  Summer : Yes. The more time I spend with Zach, the less time I have to think about - God, what's his face? Built like a beanpole, curly hair, runs away like a little bitch on a sailboat leaving nothing but a note for his girlfriend who cried and cried over him till the Fourth of July when she decided she doesn't cry over bitches on boats.

  Marissa : Seth. His name. It's Seth.

  Summer : I know. I'm just doing that thing where I pretend I don't and I have to use a lot of descriptive insults to give voice to my inner pain.

• [Ryan turns out the light Marissa moves closer] 

  Ryan : Thought you wanted to sleep?

  Marissa : Suddenly not so tired.

• Marissa : I think we should spend the entire summer just being normal.

  Ryan : We're not holding Seth to that?

  Marissa : No, no. That'd be impossible.

• Marissa : [on why she won't hook up with D.J]  He's the yard guy.

  Summer : Well, he can park his truck in my driveway anytime.

• Marissa : What happens in the mall stays in the mall.

  Ryan : You go in the tent, I'll stay out here and look out for bears and store-guards.

• Summer : Suddenly, my family not looking so dysfunctional.

  Marissa : You do realize that this is my family too?

• Summer : Lost my mind there, didn't I?

  Marissa : Little bit.

• Marissa : [about Ryan]  I think he hates me.

  Summer : He doesn't hate you!

  Marissa : He turned down sex!

  Summer : He might be onto something...

• D.J. : Guess I'd better prepare myself for some drama, huh?

  Marissa : You have no idea.
