Quotes 

• Seth : Are you just not going to go 'cause you're afraid of Luke?

  Ryan : That's not what I'm afraid of. Look, your parents taking me in, that's, like, the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I'm not going to lose it just to kick some guy's ass.

  Seth : But you could totally kick his ass, right?

  Ryan : Oh, yeah.

• Ryan : You knew about this and didn't say anything.

  Seth : I didn't want to jinx it. Dude, you're a Cohen now. Welcome to a world of insecurity and paralyzing self-doubt.

• Anna Stern : I mean, whatever you think about the whole superhero movie genre, at least it's getting people to read the original source material.

  Seth Cohen : I cannot believe that you read comic books. I mean, you're a girl.

  Anna Stern : What is that supposed to mean? And I call them graphic novels. In fact, if more people did, maybe the whole form wouldn't be so marginalized.

  Seth Cohen : I couldn't agree more.

• Anna : Could you be any more pathetic? Lone figure, sitting on the floor, wondering if he's going to be lonely for the rest of his life.

  Seth : Oh, hey, your sensitivity, it's really... nonexistent.

  Anna : You know what your problem is? You're not a man.

  Seth : Again, not appreciating the brutal honesty.

• Anna : Do you know what girls find sexy?

  Seth : Nope. Uh, wait, let me guess. Dudes who play water polo?

  Anna : Confidence!

• Summer : [looking at Ryan]  Every girl needs a white knight.

  Seth : Seth Cohen, white knight.

• Kirsten : [to Ryan]  We should clean all this out so that you'll have room for some of your... right. You don't have any stuff. Which means we've got to go shopping. For clothes and shoes and underpants.

  Seth : Mom, don't say underpants.
