  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.

• 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.

• Seth : Dude, what did you tell her?

  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 : 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.

• Seth : Fair enough. Where are you going?

  Ryan : I don't know. New town, get a job somewhere, save some money.

  Seth : Great plan. Sounds like you've given it a lot of thought.

• Ryan : So I'm now property of the government. Nickname: 0382965.

  Seth : Hey, it's better than death-breath Seth. Or so I would imagine.

• Luke : You're okay.

  Ryan : Disappointed?

• 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.

• Kirsten : So what do you want to be, now?

  Ryan : Seventeen.

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

  Marissa Cooper : Oh, yeah?
