Seth Cohen Quotes

	Season 4 / Episode 15: - The Night Moves Seth Cohen: [Ryan has woken up in the hospital after getting hurt in the earthquake, Seth is sitting in a chair in his room] Although, you're going to have to wrap your head about the fact that we're really brothers now... We're blood brothers. Ryan Atwood: You... donated blood? Seth Cohen: Eh, I had an extra few pints flowing through my veins. It was no big deal. Ryan Atwood: Hm. You're not a big fan of needles. Seth Cohen: Nor of fainting, it turns out. But, the bank was a little low and us O negative guys gotta stick together. Ryan Atwood: Hm. It's weird, cause all of the sudden I have this strange urge to listen to Death Cab and read comic books. Seth Cohen: For real? Ryan Atwood: No. I'm kidding.
	Season 4 / Episode 8: - The Earth Girls Are Easy Seth Cohen: [putting down the bag with the pregnancy test] When I found out it was your pregnancy test I totally freaked out, and I thought, this'll change everything. But then Ryan asked if I could imagine a time when I'd ever not wanna be with you, and I realized the answer is no. Summer Roberts: I'm totally pregnant, aren't I? Seth Cohen: I don't know. Summer Roberts: What do you mean you don't know? Summer Roberts: Is that gonna like squirt invisible ink or something? Seth Cohen: No, but it will make you engaged to me. Summer Roberts: What? Are you insane? Seth Cohen: Possibly, but I'm certain on this. Summer Roberts: No, Cohen, we can't. Seth Cohen: Sure we can, we're both adults, we don't share DNA... Summer Roberts: But... Seth Cohen: You just have to want to. I do. Summer Roberts: Don't you think we should look at the test first? Seth Cohen: And have you wonder for the rest of your life if I proposed to you because you're pregnant? I'm doing this because I love you and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you. Summer Roberts: You know, once you do this, you can't take it back. Seth Cohen: Summer Roberts, will you marry me?
	Season 4 / Episode 5: - The Sleeping Beauty Taylor Townsend: You might want to sit down because I have HUGE news and a favor to ask you. Seth Cohen: You like Ryan, and you want my help convincing him to date you. Taylor Townsend: Wow. Seth Cohen: You said he was funny. That was kind of a giveaway. Taylor Townsend: I know. It's crazy. I mean, I've always thought, cute guy, might be good for a night of rough and tumble fun, but it's not like we have anything in common - Seth Cohen: - So ignore it, it's probably just gas.
	Season 4 / Episode 5: - The Sleeping Beauty Taylor Townsend: [explaining her new crush on Ryan] - then, when he helped me with my husband, and he kissed me, it was like Dorothy landing in Oz. Everything popped into Technicolor. Seth Cohen: Ah. Taylor Townsend: [offended] You think I don't know what that means? Seth Cohen: I said "ah." Taylor Townsend: Meaning "Ah, that Taylor. She is so pathetic. Someone's the least bit nice to her and she becomes totally obsessed with them. First me, and then her French husband when he lent her a subway ticket, now Ryan." Seth Cohen: Well, isn't it kinda true? Taylor Townsend: So what? Yes. I have a psychological predilection to become romantically attached to men who are nice to me, due to the fact I was raised by a she-wolf of a mother who practiced emotional terrorism. Does that mean, that if by some miracle, love does come into my life, I should deny it? What kind of person would that make me? What kind of life - Seth Cohen: [tired of her talking] - What do you want me to do?
	Season 3 / Episode 25: - The Graduates Sandy Cohen: I love you, kid. Seth Cohen: I can't say I love you to another man, but I have much affection for you as well.
	Season 3 / Episode 24: - The Man of the Year Seth Cohen: Today's a good day for me, Ryan. I finally came clean, told the truth about not getting into Brown, and things are great. Life is so much better when you're honest, you just mean what you say, you say what you mean - I feel like you. Ryan Atwood: Well, now that you're on a roll, are you going to tell Sandy and Kirsten about Brown, too? Seth Cohen: Yeah, I don't think so.
	Season 3 / Episode 22: - The College Try Seth Cohen: Dr. Overbee, I have to get in here, okay? And it's not just because I love it, although I do, truly I do. It's because of a girl. Her name is Summer Roberts, and she's going here. And if I don't get in I'm going to lose her, and the rest of my life is going to be ruined. Dr. Overbee: So this is about a girl? Seth Cohen: Yes. It's about the girl.
	Season 3 / Episode 22: - The College Try Seth Cohen: Yes. Kumar Zimmerman. I'm half Indian, half Jewish. I am a Hinjew.
	Season 3 / Episode 21: - The Dawn Patrol Summer: The break-up is off. That's right, I broke up with you, and technically it's within my power to technically un-break us up. Seth Cohen: You can do that? Summer: Technically, I just did. So unless you can explain to my satisfaction what your deal is and why you suddenly don't want to be together next year, we're back on. Technically, efficiently, completely.
	Season 3 / Episode 20: - The Day After Tomorrow Ryan Atwood: Seth, I gotta ask. Did you really get into Brown? Seth Cohen: Did I get in? Now who's smoking pot?

We're not going to call her. She's not a moron, just evil. Seth Cohen: We're not going to call her, my little dim sum, we're going to text her. Or should I say, Dean Hess is. Summer Roberts: You got the bedazzled one? Pink, too? Wait, we can't text her an apology. We're texting her an apology? Seth Cohen: Nope, an invitation. I got a room at the Mermaid Motel. Summer Roberts: You mean the place where Ryan may or may not have conceived Theresa's baby and where Marissa's mom and Luke got it on? Seth Cohen: Newport's very own den of sin. Summer Roberts: Ew. But I like it. Seth Cohen: We can even, I mean, if we have some free time ... Seth Cohen: Whatever.
