    • Quotes

      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.
