    • Trivia

      When Seth comes to Summer's room for the second time, he starts kissing her shoulder. Summer's shirt goes from off her shoulder, to on it, to back off it again.
    • Quotes

      Seth: I had sex with a girl! Summer, to be more specific.

      Ryan Atwood: How was it?

      Seth: I had sex.

      [whispering]

      Ryan Atwood: That bad?

      Seth: No, not that bad it was just kind of weird.

      Ryan Atwood: Weird?

      Seth: Ye, but not kinky weird, more like awkward. But hey, you know what? It was my first time and she's a more experienced woman, that's to be expected. And I did make some faces in the middle that I wish that I could take back but I can't and there's also sort of a whiny noice that came out towards the end, that wasn't my finest hour. And I sucked so bad. I was like a fish flopping around on dry land. Ryan, I was Nemo and I just wanted to go home.
