Quotes 

• Ryan : [to Marissa]  You listen to punk, huh?

  Marissa : [matter-of-factly]  I'm angry.

• Marissa : [walks into model home as Ryan lights it with candles. Hallelujah is playing]  This song reminds me of you.

  Ryan : I thought you were with Luke.

  Marissa : I was.

  [hesitates] 

  Marissa : I don't know why I'm here, I just wanted to see you... I mean, you're leaving tomorrow!... and what if I never... we never... maybe I could spend the night? Just to hang out...

  Ryan : You can't stay. If you stay, if we spend the night... I... I don't know that I could leave.

  Marissa : Well, then don't!

  Ryan : Ya, and you'll go back to school in the fall, and I'll just what? Hang around here? Hiding like some ghost? Cops find me and I'll have to disappear again?

  [moves closer] 

  Ryan : We're from different worlds.

  Marissa : [takes a deep breath]  That's not true.

  Ryan : I'm not like you. Go. Please... go.

• Luke Ward : Shut up, queer.

  Seth Cohen : Well, at least I don't shave my chest.

  Luke Ward : What'd you say?

  Marissa Cooper : Luke, come on.

  Seth Cohen : I just said you look nice in a sweater vest. It was a compliment.

• Ryan : What kind of music do you listen to?

  Marissa : Right now, punk.

  Seth : Yeah, I am sorry, but Avril Lavigne doesn't count as punk.

  Marissa : Oh yeah? Well, what about the Cramps? Stiff Little Fingers? The Clash? Sex Pistols?

  Seth : I listen to the same music as Marissa Cooper? I think I have to kill myself.

• Marissa : I mean, what did I ever do to you?

  Seth : Nothing, Marissa. I've lived next door to you forever and you've never done or said anything to me.

  Marissa : Oh, my God, you're the one who never talks to me. You think you're so much better than everyone.

  Seth : I do? Well, if you're talking about Luke, then yes, because that guy shaves his chest.

• Ryan : So how long you been with him?

  Marissa : Luke? Um... I don't know really.

  Seth : I know. Fifth grade, when you two got your mack on during our class trip to the Museum of Tolerance. Back of the bus. Classy lady.

• Marissa : Where are we?

  Seth : Well, its one of my mom's housing developments. She and my grandpa own a bunch of them - this is supposed to be the model home... but it never got finished.

  Marissa : Why, did someone die here and now its haunted?

  Seth : Yes. That is exactly what happened.

• Marissa : Look, I don't know why Luke does that. Did that. He's just...

  Seth : An ass?

  Marissa : Protective.

• Ryan : I'm not too popular around here, and your boyfriend - a little bit angry.

  Marissa : 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.

• Marissa : What are you doing?

  Seth : Nothing. We're just hanging out. Oh, look, it's somebody's birthday.

  [notices she has a brightly-wrapped parcel] 

  Seth : I guess my invitation probably got lost in the mail.

• Ryan : You should probably be off. Newport social scene awaits.

  Marissa Cooper : Oh, yeah?

• Marissa Cooper : [driving]  Why won't you tell me where we're going? This is pretty far away.

  Seth : Oh, wow, complaining. That's - that's very interesting, considering nobody invited you.

  Marissa Cooper : Before I came along, you were on a skateboard.

  Seth : Ah! Ah!
