What Happens In Vegas

Tipper: I just wanna junk-punch him in his man business.

Joy McNally: That's just the topping I wanted on my popcorn. I know the box said its movie theater butter, but you guessed it. What I really wanted was Jack's Sweaty ballsack flavor!
Jack Fuller: I'm just giving you what you want, baby.

Hater: This is my lesbian sister. Tell them about your softball team, tell them about your team.

Tipper: If I could kill someone with my mind right now, it would be you.

Jack Fuller: I did take myself out of the game. If you stop betting, you never have to lose.

Joy McNally: Is there any part of the night, I don't know, maybe say the part where I was about to marry the rebound guy, that you thought, 'hey oh my God, this is a really good time for an intervention'?
Tipper: [extremely hungover] Seriously?
Joy McNally: Yeah.
Tipper: I like... threw up in my own purse... so...

Judge R. D. Whopper: ...Listen, I've been married for twenty five years to the same wonderful, infuriating woman. And granted there are days when I want to light her on fire but I don't, because I love her. And that would be illegal. And you know something, and I might be old fashioned but when I said those vows, I meant them.

Jack Fuller: I'd rather do nothing and be happy than do something I know I don't love.

Jack Fuller: Where's the one place where you can step up and be a man?
Hater: Community college?

Chong: Be whoever you want to be, you'll still gonna be my subordinate.
Joy McNally: Excuse me?
Chong: It's from the Latin, meaning "my bitch."

Chong: I eat girls like you.

Hater: I didn't invent hip hop... but I was there!

Hater: You should never let a chick get in your head; that's why I prefer not to even talk to my dates.

Jack Fuller: It's like you're trying to come in first, but it's someone else's race.

Jack Fuller: [accepting an award] I have to thank my wife Joy. She probably never told you all the story about how we met. It might come as a surprise to many of you that we didn't know each other for very long before we got hitched. What can I say - when you know, you know.

Hater: I'm the law, bitch!

Tipper: You know what? I can get a couple of my brother's loser ass friends to go over to Mason's apartment , knock on the door and when he opens it wham! They'll junk-punch him all up in his man business and he'll fall to the floor whaling and crying "why?" and then we'll say "you know why!"

Chasing Amy

Hooper: Always some white boy gotta invoke the holy trilogy. Bust this: Those movies are about how the white man keeps the brother man down, even in a galaxy far, far away. Check this shit: You got cracker farm boy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy, blond hair, blue eyes. And then you got Darth Vader, the blackest brother in the galaxy, Nubian god!
Banky Edwards: What's a Nubian?
Hooper: Shut the fuck up! Now... Vader, he's a spiritual brother, y'know, down with the force and all that good shit. Then this cracker, Skywalker, gets his hands on a light saber and the boy decides he's gonna run the fuckin' universe; gets a whole clan of whites together. And they go and bust up Vader's hood, the Death Star. Now what the fuck do you call that?
Banky Edwards: Intergalactic civil war?
Hooper: Gentrification! They gon' drive out the black element to make the galaxy quote, unquote, safe for white folks. And Jedi's the most insulting installment! Because Vader's beautiful black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty, old white man! They tryin' to tell us that deep inside we all wants to be white!
Banky Edwards: Well, isn't that true?
[Hooper pulls out his gun, shoots Banky]

Hooper: For years in this industry, whenever an African American character, hero or villain, was introduced - usually by *white* artists and writers - they got slapped with racist names that singled them out as Negroes. Now, my book, "White-Hatin' Coon," don't have none of that bullshit. The hero's name is Maleekwa, and he's a descendant from the black tribe that established the first society on the planet, while all you European motherfuckers were still hiding in caves and shit, all terrified of the sun. He's a strong role model that a young black reader can look up to. 'Cause I'm here to tell you, the chickens is coming home to roost, y'all. The black man's no longer gonna play the minstrel in the medium of comics and sci-fi fantasy. We keepin' it real, and we gonna get respect by any means necessary.
Holden: Ah, come on, that's a bunch of horse shit! Lando Calrissian was a black guy. You know. He got to fly the Millennium Falcon, what's the matter with you?
Hooper: Who said that?
Holden: I did! Lando Calrissian is a positive role-model in the realm of science fiction/fantasy.
Hooper: Fuck Lando Calrissian! Uncle-Tom nigger!

Silent Bob: [to Holden, who has just revealed his trouble with Alyssa] Chasing Amy.
Holden: [Shocked that Silent Bob has broken his Silence] What? What did you say?
Silent Bob: You're Chasing Amy.
Jay: What do you look so shocked for, man? Fat bastard does this all the time. He thinks just 'cause he doesn't say anything, it'll have some huge impact when he does open his fuckin' mouth...
Silent Bob: Jesus Christ, why don't you shut up? You're always yap-yap-yappin' all the time, you're givin' me a fuckin' headache.
[to Holden]
Silent Bob: I went through something like what you're talkin' 'bout, 'couple years ago, this chick named Amy.
Jay: When?
Silent Bob: [annoyed] A couple of years ago?

Holden: I love you. And not, not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'll call it. I love you. Very, very simple, very truly. You are the-the epitome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being. And I know that you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is-is-is the furthest thing from an option you would ever consider. But I had to say it. I just, I can't take this anymore. I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can't-I can't look into your eyes without feeling that-that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. And I know this will probably queer our friendship - no pun intended - but I had to say it, 'cause I've never felt this way before, and I-I don't care. I like who I am because of it. And if bringing this to light means we can't hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just, I couldn't allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And, you know, I'll accept that. But I know, I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there's a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. And all I ask, please, is that you just - you just not dismiss that, and try to dwell in it for just ten seconds. Alyssa, there isn't another soul on this fucking planet who has ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it is there between you and me. You can't deny that. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I am forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me, which - while I do appreciate it - I'd never need a painting of birds bought at a diner to remind me of.

Alyssa: You know, I didn't just heed what I was taught, men and women should be together, it's the natural way, that kind of thing. I'm not with you because of what family, society, life tried to instill in me from day one. The way the world is, how seldom it is that you meet that one person who just *gets* you - it's so rare. My parents didn't really have it. There were no examples set for me in the world of male-female relationships. And to cut oneself off from finding that person, to immediately halve your options by eliminating the possibility of finding that one person within your own gender, that just seemed stupid to me. So I didn't. But then you came along. You, the one least likely. I mean, you were a guy.
Holden: Still am.
Alyssa: And while I was falling for you I put a ceiling on that, because you *were* a guy. Until I remembered why I opened the door to women in the first place: to not limit the likelihood of finding that one person who'd complement me so completely. So here we are. I was thorough when I looked for you. And I feel justified lying in your arms, 'cause I got here on my own terms, and I have no question there was some place I didn't look. And for me that makes all the difference.
Holden: [pause] Well, can I at least tell people all you needed was some serious deep dicking?

Banky Edwards: What is it about this girl man? You know you have no shot at getting her into bed. Why do you bother wasting time with her? Because you're Holden fucking McNeil, the most persistent traveler on the road that's *not* the path of least resistance. Everything's gotta be a fucking challenge for you and this little relationship with that *bitch* is a prime example of your fucking condition. Well, I don't need a magic 8-ball to look into your future. You want a forecast? Here, will Holden ever fuck Alyssa? Oh, what a shock, "Not fucking Likely." This relationship is affecting you, our work and our friendship and the time's gonna come when I throw down the gauntlet and say it's me or her. Then what are you gonna say?
Holden: I think you should let this one go.
Banky Edwards: No, what would you say? Would you trash twenty years of fucking friendship because you got some idiotic notion that this chick would even let you sniff her panties, let alone fuck her?
Holden: Look fucking asshole, I'm telling you, okay, let it go!
Banky Edwards: What the fuck, man! What the fuck makes this bitch all that important?
Holden: 'Cause I'm fucking in love with her, man, okay?

Banky Edwards: Alright, now see this? This is a four-way road, okay? And dead in the center is a crisp, new, hundred dollar bill. Now, at the end of each of these streets are four people, okay? You following?
Holden: Yeah.
Banky Edwards: Good. Over here, we have a male-affectionate, easy to get along with, non-political agenda lesbian. Down here, we have a man-hating, angry as fuck, agenda of rage, bitter dyke. Over here, we got Santa Claus, and up here the Easter Bunny. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first?
Holden: What is this supposed to prove?
Banky Edwards: No, I'm serious. This is a serious exercise. It's like an SAT question. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first? The male-friendly lesbian, the man-hating dyke, Santa Claus, or the Easter bunny?
Holden: The man-hating dyke.
Banky Edwards: Good. Why?
Holden: I don't know.
Banky Edwards: [shouting] Because the other three are figments of your fucking imagination!

Banky Edwards: All every woman really wants, be it mother, senator, nun, is some serious deep-dickin'.

Alyssa: I love you, I always will. Know that. But I'm not your fucking whore.

Banky Edwards: I feel a hate crime coming on.

Silent Bob: Bitch, what you don't know about me I can just about squeeze in the Grand fucking Canyon. Did you know I always wanted to be a dancer in Vegas?

Alyssa: One minute, five seconds; you are such my bitch.

Alyssa: Let me ask you a question. Can men fuck each other?
Banky Edwards: What, are you asking for my permission?
Alyssa: In your estimation.
Banky Edwards: Sure.
Alyssa: So, for you, to fuck is to penetrate. You're used to the more traditional definition. You inside some girl you duped, jackhammering away, not noticing that bored look in her eyes.
Banky Edwards: Hey, I always notice that bored look in their eyes, alright?

Banky Edwards: [to Alyssa] Since you like chicks, right, do you just look at yourself naked in the mirror all the time?

Jay: Jedi bitch.

Banky Edwards: You gotta handle it like CNN and the Weather Channel: constant updates.

Banky Edwards: I just have to get something.
Holden: Look, man, we miss this train, I'm gonna shitcan you and just hire Charles Schulz.
[Banky pulls out a huge stack of porno books]
Holden: Oh my God. Who are you, Larry fucking Flynt? What are you gonna do with all of those?
Banky Edwards: Read the articles. What do you think I'm gonna do with them? They're stroke books, stupid!
Holden: You've got like thirty books there! We're only going to be gone for two days!
Banky Edwards: Variety's the spice of life. I like a wide selection. Sometimes I'm in the mood for nasty close-ups, sometimes I like them arty and air-brushed. Sometimes it's a spread brown-eye kind of night, sometimes it's girl-on-girl time. Sometimes a steamy letter will do, sometimes - not often, but sometimes - I like the idea of a chick with a horse.

Holden: How do you manage to get away with this all the time? I mean, shouldn't the cops be busting your head open right about now?
Banky Edwards: Wrong coast.

Hooper: I need to sell the image to sell the book. I mean, would the audience still buy the whole black rage angle if they found out the book was written by a... you know...
Banky Edwards: Faggot?
Hooper: When you say it, it sounds so sexy.

Hooper: See that man right there? He the Devil, understand? Never take your eye off the man.

Hooper: Screw that "all for one" shit, alright? I gotta deal with being a minority in a minority of the minority, and nobody's supportin' my ass.

Hooper: Men need to believe that they're Marco Fucking Polo when it comes to sex.

Holden: If this is a crush, I don't think I could take it if the real thing ever happened.

Hooper: Archie was the bitch and Jughead was the butch. That's why Jughead wears that crown-looking hat all the time. He the king of queen Archie's world.

Jay: You gotta boil it down to the essentials. It's like Cube says, "Life ain't nothin' but bitches and money."

Banky Edwards: What does it matter if I refer to her as a dyke? Or if I call the Whalers a bunch of faggots in the privacy of my own office, far from the sensitive ears of the rest of the world?

Holden: Okay, I've had my finger up my ass. I wouldn't say I've had anal sex.

Banky Edwards: I'm going to prove to you beyond the shadow of a doubt that Archie is all about pussy.

Banky Edwards: Bring on the free hooch!

Jay: [to Holden] Bitch tasted life, yo, now she's settlin' for your boring, funny-book-makin' ass.

Holden: Okay, I'm telling you, she's never even been with a guy, much less these two fucking zeroes.

Holden: I'm telling you the bitch could be a bigger fucking germ farm than that monkey in Outbreak.

Alyssa: Since most of these people are rooting for the home team, I'm gonna cheer for the visitors. I'm a big visitors fan. Especially the kind that make coffee for ya in the morning before they go!

Jay: Snootchie Bootchies. Who the fuck talks like that? That is fucking baby talk.

Holden: They fuckin' used you!
Alyssa: No! I used them! You don't think I would've let it happen if I hadn't've wanted to? Do you? I was an experimental girl for Christ sake! Maybe you knew early on that your track was from point A to B, but unlike you I was not given a fucking map at birth, so I tried it all! That is until we, that's you and I, got together and suddenly I was sated!

Alyssa: [about Holden's new comic, "Chasing Amy"] Looks like a very personal story.
Holden: I finally had something personal to say.

Banky Edwards: [playing video game] Fucking faggot, man! Did you *see* that? Your dyke-courting ass just got me scored on.

Holden: [after Banky just got into a fight with a fan for calling him a "tracer."] Can I explain the audience principle to you? If you insult and accost them, then we have no audience!
Banky Edwards: [shouting] He started it! Fucking cock-knocker! He's lucky I didn't put my pen through his thorax!

Hooper: I think it's more like Banky's having a real problem with all things not hetero right about now.

Holden: It all goes back to something my grandmother told me when I was a kid. "Holden," she said, "the big bucks are in dick and fart jokes." She was a church goer.

Hooper: So where's your better half?
Banky Edwards: Takin' a piss. The guy's got a bladder like an infant.
Hooper: That's funny. He says you're hung like an infant.
Banky Edwards: Does his mother tell him everything?

Alyssa: She is such a cunt.

Holden: You gotta respect that kind of display of affection, you know what I mean? Sure, it's crazy, it's rude, it's self-absorbed, but, uh, you know, it's love.

Alyssa: Fucking is not limited to penetration, Banky. For me it describes any sex, when it's not totally about love. I don't love Kim, but I'll fuck her. I'm sure you don't love every girl you sleep with.
Banky Edwards: Some of them I downright loathe.

Hooper: [waves a dollar at Banky] Here.
Banky Edwards: What?
Hooper: I want you to go down to the corner store, and buy yourself a clue.

Holden: Alyssa from last night Alyssa?
Hooper: How do you begin and end a question with the same word like that? You got skill.

Banky Edwards: Catholic school girls. The uniform's what does it for me. I wish I had've went with more Catholic school girls when I was a kid. As it stands I have no, "And then she unzipped her jumper," stories.

Alyssa: [to Holden] I like you, Holden. I haven't liked a man in a long time. And it's not because I'm a man hater or something like that. It's just been sometime that I've been exposed to a man that didn't immediately live into a stereotype of some sort. And I want you to feel comfortable with me, because I'd really like us to be friends.

Holden: You seemed weirded out back there.
Banky Edwards: That was my couch you were fucking on.
Holden: Sorry.
Banky Edwards: I wanted to watch some T.V. Hard to do when your best friend's wrapped around his naked rug muncher on your couch.
Holden: She had boxers on.

Jay: [about Holden] It smells like someone shit in his cereal. Huge.
Holden: Man, what took you guys so long? Where were you at the mall again?
Jay: Bitch don't even start, alright. We stopped that shit years ago. Toss the salad.

Jay: Come on, man. I know people who know people.
Holden: You sound like Barbra Streisand.
Jay: [about Silent Bob] That's because I got this tubby bitch playing her "Greatest Hits" tape in my ear all the time. You gotta see him, man, when she starts singing that uh... "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", this faggot starts crying like a little girl with a scraped knee and shit. Big fucking softie.

Jay: Holy fucking shit! Finger Cuffs? You're dating Finger Cuffs, you silly son of a bitch?

Silent Bob: So there's me and Amy, and we're all inseparable, right? Just big time in love. And then four months down the road, the idiot gear kicks in, and I ask about the ex-boyfriend. Which, as we all know, is a really dumb move. But you know how it is: you don't wanna know, but you just have to, right? Stupid guy bullshit. So, anyway, she starts telling me about him - how they fell in love, and how they went out for a couple of years, and how they lived together, her mother likes me better, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah - and I'm okay. But then she drops the bomb on me, and the bomb is this: it seems that a couple of times, while they were going out, he brought some people to bed with them. Menage à trois, I believe it's called. Now this just blows my mind, right? I mean, I am not used to this sort of thing. I mean, I was raised Catholic, for God's sake.
Jay: Saint Shithead.
[Silent Bob elbows him; Jay motions as if to start a fight]
Silent Bob: Do something.
[to Holden]
Silent Bob: So I'm totally weirded out by this, right? And I just start blasting her. Like, I don't know how to deal with what I'm feeling, so I figure the best way is by calling her a slut, right? And tell her she was used. I'm... I'm out for blood. I really wanna hurt this girl. I'm like, "What the fuck is your problem?", right? And she's just all calmly trying to tell me, like, it was that time and it was that place and she doesn't think she should apologize because she doesn't feel that she's done anything wrong. I'm like, "Oh, really?" That's when I look her straight in the eye, I tell her it's over. I walk.
Jay: Fuckin' A!
Silent Bob: No, idiot. It was a mistake. I wasn't disgusted with her, I was afraid. At that moment, I felt small, like... like I'd lacked experience, like I'd never be on her level, like I'd never be enough for her or something like that, you know what I'm saying? But, what I did not get, she didn't care. She wasn't looking for that guy anymore. She was... she was looking for me, for the Bob. But, uh, by the time I figure this all out, it was too late, man. She moved on, and all I had to show for it was some foolish pride, which then gave way to regret. She was the girl, I know that now. But I pushed her away. So I've spent every day since then chasing Amy... so to speak.

Hold a friend's hand through times of trial, Let her find love through a hug and a smile; But also know when it is time to let go - For each and everyone of us must learn to grow. - Sharon A. Heilbrunn

One Tree Hill

You can’t get it all back at once. Take it slow. Give it some time. Pretty soon you'll be back better than ever.

Always without fail, follow your heart.

The most perfect act of love is sacrifice.

Be confident and take risks.

I forgive you, but hell won't.

We could all use a little hope sometimes, you know? That feeling that everything is gonna be okay, and that someone is there to help make sure of that.

People that are meant to be together always find their ways in the end.

Most people don't know who they are, that's why they lie. They're afraid someone else will figure it out before they do.

Do you ever wonder if we make the moments in our lives or the moments in our lives make us?
Ever wonder how long it takes to change your life? What measure of time is enough to be life-altering? Is it four years, like high school? One year? An eight-week walking tour? Can your life change in a month, or a week, or a single day? We're always in a hurry to grow up, to go places, to get ahead…but when you're young, one hour can change everything.
Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life that you expect it to always be there…because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't. But then one day you feel something else - something that feels wrong, only because it's so unfamiliar. And in that moment you realize…you're happy.
Happiness comes in many forms - in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else's dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It's okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be.
Most people are stronger than they know. They just forget to believe in it sometimes.
Looking back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had, I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize that every day won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair remember, it's only in the black of night that you see the stars, and those stars lead you back home.

So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination.

We could all use a little hope sometimes, you know? That feeling that everything is gonna be okay, and that someone is there to help make sure of that.

Life kicks you around sometimes. It scares you and it beats you up. But there's one day when you realize you're not just a survivor. You're a fighter. You're tougher than anything life throws your way. And you are.

The hardest thing about saying goodbye, is having to do it again everyday. Everyday we face the same truth that life is fleeting; that our time here is short; and to honor the fallen we must live our own lives well. We must take the high road when we can and to allow our common loss to bring us together.

One Tree Hill: multiple characters

Peyton: Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want.
Lucas: Do you have it? Good. Now believe in it to come true. You never know when the next miracle is going to come from, the next smile, the next wish come true.
Peyton: But if you believe that its right around the corner and you open you heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it.
Brooke: You just might get the thing you're wishing for.
Nathan: The world is full of magic, you just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it?
Haley: Good. Now believe in it. With all your heart.

Deb: How did we become so broken?
Keith: We fell in love. And the people we fell in love with forgot to love us back.

Brooke: Huh, I thought witches were supposed to melt.
Rachael: What the hell is wrong with you?
Brooke: What the hell is wrong with me? I’m not the freak with the plastic ass and the tin heart.
Rachael: No, you’re the freak with the fat ass and no heart.
Brooke: You know what, girl formally known as orca. You lead mouth on and you know it. So maybe it’s time you get back in touch with your inner sperm whale and realize that you have fewer friends than you did before.
Rachael: Really? Well my new friend Lucas just called me. Call you lately? Didn’t think so.
Brooke: You know, Rachael, I’d punch you in your fake nose right now but you’d just go out and buy another one. I’m going to make you regret this.

Karen: In life if you let it, you can always come up with reasons to give up. But if you don't, you might just find love in places you never imagined - in a new relationship or in your work..
Brooke: Or in your children
Karen: Whatever it is, just don't give up on it. And if you don't get it, well, you might get something better.

Class Essay
George Bernadt Shaw once wrote:
"There are two tragedies of life, one is to lose your heart's desire, the other is to gain it."
Clearly he had his heart broken once or twice.
As far as I'm concern Shaw was a punk, cause you know what? Tragedies happen. What are you going to do? Give up, quit? No, I realize now that when your heart beaks you have to fight to make sure you're still alive because you are and that pain you feel, it's life, the confusion and fear that's there to remind you that somewhere out there there's something better. That something's worth
This year I got everything I wanted and everything I wished for, but in a way I lost even more.
Shaw was right, as we strain to grasp the things we desire, things that will make our lives matter. Popularity, fame, we ignore what truly matters, the simple things like friendship, family, love, the things that we already had.
Mr. Shaw thinks that getting your heart's desire is a tragedy.
Losing you heart's desire is tragic, but gaining your heart's desire, it's all you can hope for. This year I wished for love to amerce myself in someone else and to awake a heart from a long deal. My wish was granted. If having that is tragic then give me tragedy. Cause I wouldn't give it back for the world.

Gus: It's the most important thing there is. Love. Finding the right person to spend your life with.
Lucas: I know I made the right choice.
Gus: That's where it gets you. Thinking you had a choice. Love finds you, Son, you don't find love. It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, what's written in the stars. A lot to do with the simple fact most women are smarter than we are. And wily. Your sorry butt never had a chance. But if you want to believe you had a choice in the matter, I'd say you made a good one.
Lucas: Why is that?
Gus: Because she showed up and she sure is pretty.

Peyton: Responsible-I've-not-been-attacked-by-Psycho-Derek text message sent.
Lucas: Responsible-I-know-I've-been-dark-lately-but-everything's-ok message sent.
Peyton: Oh, it's a message from you! It says "Peyton, I love you, let's go get married, Lucas" Can a text message change your life?
Lucas: God, I hope so.

Lucas: She told me she loved me. I just figured it was because she lost a lot of blood. But at some level I knew it was true. I was just too afraid to admit it because, it would've hurt Brooke.
Glenda: You ever think maybe that's why you have trouble writing about that day? Maybe you block things out because you're afraid if you face the truth, it could hurt the other people you love.

Lucas: I decided to go for a run and I ended up here, boy is it raining out.
Brooke: I'm still mad at you Nathan Scott.
Lucas: Haley please listen to me, I know I'm a porn freak.
Brooke: Nathan, it's okay, I like my porn too. And, I Haley myself from time to time but I still need to know that you love me.
Lucas: Someday I'm gonna marry you Haley James, someday.

Cooper: For the drivers three weeks, for me it doesn't... I lost my ride.
Lucas: What happened?
Cooper: Well, for one thing I let my nephew crash a racecar into a wall. Then things got a little dark from there. You know, when they told me I couldn't drive, I thought my life was over. Racing was all that I had and was who I was. Then the next day, the sun came up and the world kept turning and I was gonna to be okay. It took me a while, but I finally realized that even if I never get to race again, I know I can be happy. Nathan told me about the game.
Lucas: I'll get it back.
Cooper: I hope you do. But, if for some reason you don't, it'll be okay. It's not what you do in life that matters Luke, it's about who you are.

Lucas: You're the one that wanted to be non-exclusive. I'm just doing what you wanted.
Brooke: What I wanted? I wanted you to fight for me! I wanted you to say that there was no-one else that you could ever be with and that you'd rather be alone than without me. I wanted the Lucas Scott from the beach that night telling the world that he's the one for me.
Lucas: How was I supposed to know that?
Brooke: You just are.

Karen: Please tell me you were stuck in a land with no phones.
Lucas: I know I should have called.
Karen: Coming home would've been another option.

Lucas: So I'm confused. You want to be anonymous and you let the world watch you on a web cam.
Peyton: The world isn't watching me... but I guess you are.
Lucas: Okay, the point is.... you want to express yourself but you don't want people to know it's you.
Peyton: I guess I'm just a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside a bitch.
Lucas: Or maybe just a tortured artist.
Peyton: Look, I don't need you defending me and my work. I don't need you analyzing it or interpreting me either. And in fact, I'm pretty sure I don't need you at all.
Lucas: Pretty sure?

Brooke: You told me that someday I'd be ready to let someone in. I think today might be someday.
Julian: If this was a movie, you'd kiss me right now.
Brooke: No, I'd say I love you, and then I'd kiss you. I love you.

Julian: My father always made me feel like I wasn't good enough. Any time I had any success he would remind me of my failures. I see that in Brooke. She's so talented and good-hearted and beautiful, but she carries around this feeling that she's not good enough. And she has you to thank you for that. Good work.
Victoria: Are you finished?
Julian: No, not yet. I love your daughter. I'm in love with her. And one of these days she's gonna love me back and when she does I want you to understand something: you're either gonna learn to be nice to her, or you're not gonna be in her life. Nice to meet you Victoria. Feels like I've known you all my life.

Chuck: It's a bird! It's a plane! It's super-baby! Aw, are you sad? Are you gonna go fly home to your mommy?
Jamie: No, I'm gonna walk away.

Lucas: So where should we start?
Peyton: Well, that's easy. I never feel at home until I unpack my music. You know, maybe we don't need to. We probably have doubles of everything, right?
Lucas: Actually I don't like The Cure.
Peyton: How can you not like The Cure?
Lucas: Well, their music's depressing and whiney...
Peyton: And if it could squint, it would be you. You do realize that the lyrics I spent all day painting at the River Court were The Cure lyrics, right?
Lucas: Oh I know, and I love the lyrics. Hate the music.

Nathan: Having dealt with parent insanity, I just wanted to check your head and see how you are doing. The thing is, the two of us have been down very similar roads. I mean, we were in the same cliques. We both felt the same pressures, same expectations. Our parents were like children. And we both grew into kind bad versions of ourselves way too fast. So I think you know and get it.
Brooke: They never really gave us a chance did they? Our parents?
Nathan: They didn't know how. Look the thing is you made your dream happen, alright? And even though I didn't quite get there, when it was taken away from me, I dealt with it alone. That was stupid, selfish and wrong. So if your mom tries to take your dream away from you and you feel that same pain like I did, I've sort of been there okay? .... And I'm going to be kind of pissed off if you don't come talk to me about it. Thank you for coming today. It means a lot. I know you didn't know quentin, but....... it doesn't surprise me that you're thinking about other people when all this stuff is going on with you. That's not bad for a girl who never had a chance. Come here.

Denise: I wanted to thank you for standing up for my boy the way you did in that last game. It's a shame that we have to meet like this.
Lucas: Yes, ma'am, it is.
Denise: Coach Taylor, Quentin always had so many nice things to say about you. And you too, Nathan. I really appreciate you boys coming here. But I mostly wanted to say thank you to this one. My son has always loved basketball but the day I can tell you, the day I came home and found him reading a book, it about gave me a heart attack. He said, "Mommy, Mrs. James-Scott, she don't play. She almost as bad as you are." I realize that you are all trying to help him live up to the greatness God gave him and you should be proud of that.
Haley: Your strength is inspiring.
Denise: My strength is from Jesus Christ. I am going to miss my baby boy for the rest of this life but I know we are going to see him again and our faith will see us through.

Quentin: There he is! I said it's J. Luke Scott the boy is hot. Wherever he goes, homey, that's the spot.
Jamie: His name is "Q" he's better than you. If the spot is hot then, he's there, too.

John Knight: I hate to be the one to break it to you, but rock & roll can't actually save the world.
Peyton: See, I disagree. Walk into any club on the strip tonight, and just look at the kids. Look into their eyes. I mean they're all looking for something to believe in, and I think that music can be the thing to change the world.

Taylor James: You get one free pass with me, next time watch your back.
Nathan: I had fun.
Taylor: I know you did. After a while, the parties just blend together. I just wish I could start over.
Nathan: You can. We all can right.
Taylor: Not me. Once people think of you a certain way, you're never going to be able to change their minds. I am who I am, and I have to live with that. But you, nobody's put a label on you yet. You can still be whoever you want to be.
Nathan: What about Haley?
Taylor: If she's not going to be there for you, you have to start being there for yourself.
Nathan: I don't know if I can.
Taylor: You can and you will, just wake up every morning and live your life.
Nathan: What happens if she comes back?
Taylor: Well then it'll be your decision.

Brooke: I’m sorry is that hair color seepng into your brain? What in your twisted little head am I responsible for?
Rachel: You left an envelope full of money with a junkie.
Brooke: Says the junkie.
Rachel: True forgiveness is about accepting our own fault in things. You’d know that if you watched the show. Now I have given you an apology, and a check, and you’ve given me nothing. And that’s okay. I forgive –
[Brooke slaps Rachel]
Brooke: Stay away from me bitch.

One Tree Hill: Chase Adams

I don't care about who you were. I care about who you are.

You are enough. If I can get you to quit lying then maybe I can get to like the real you.

Anyways, call me if you need anything, someone to talk to... move carpets... I don't know, a husband?

Everything you wrote to me, I feel it too. I just didn't know how to put it in words.

You’re the one that inspired me to follow my dreams...by following yours. And I wouldn’t have met you if the bar I work at wasn’t attached to your studio.

Double water. You know we do have drinks here.

Guys don’t really...like...models.

That depends on why you’re looking at me like a piece of steak?

Brooke-ish. I’m just saying she sounds a little like you in high school.

Wow. Candlelit, pool table top dinner. What’s the occasion?

Forever scares a lot of us.

One Tree Hill: Anna

Isn't who you were, who you are?

First they put away the dealers, keep our kids safe and off the street. Then they put away the prostitutes, keep married men cloistered at home. Then they shooed away the bums, then they beat and bashed the queers, turned away asylum-seekers, fed us suspicions and fears. We didn't raise our voice, we didn't make a fuss. It's funny there was no one left to notice when they came for us.

I'm a better person for knowing you, Luke.

"Don’t be too fat, or too thin, or too dark, or too light. Don’t be too sexual, or too chaste, or too smart, or too dumb.” Be yourself. But make sure you fit in.

It’s hard to let new people in sometimes. I’m used to it.

Just because someone says something doesn't make it true.

It doesn't matter. You know how high school is. Once a story gets out, it mind as well be true.

One Tree Hill: James Lucas Scott

Some people lead and some people follow.

I'm an orphan who needs surgery and you're paying for it 'cause you're rich.

Dad, it’s only three words: I Forgive You.

One Tree Hill: Victoria Davis

You need to remove emotion from business.

Of course I support my daughter. But let's be clear. The only reason that Brooke returned to this backwater town is because her loser friend couldn't cut it in Los Angeles. That's why I'm here, to make sure that my daughter is not completely exploited by her parasitic so called friend. So you get your little act together before you ruin her life too.

Maybe teen marriage is all the rage in Hicksville, North Carolina, but I swear if you marry this boy I'm gonna have annulment papers drawn up so fast...

Tell me again why you have an assistant who dresses like a Slavic bag lady.

I have a feeling she's wrecked a few good guys in her day.

A lady doesn't kiss and tell.

One Tree Hill: Samantha Walker

Sam's Essay about Quentin:
Quentin Fields was a basketball player. He was also a son. A brother. Somebody's teammate. Somebody's friend. I never knew Quentin Fields and I guess now I never will. Did you ever wonder what it would be like if you weren't you anymore? If you were suddenly gone how would your world react? Whatever you imagined was wrong. There's nothing romantic about death. Grief is like the ocean: it's deep and dark and bigger than all of us. And pain is like a thief in the night. Quiet. Persistent. Unfair. Diminished by time and faith and love. I didn't know Quentin Fields but I'm jealous of him because I see how his absence has affected the people that did know him so I know that he did matter to them. And I know he was loved. People say Quentin Fields was a great basketball player. Graceful. Fluid. Inspiring. They say on a good night it almost seemed as though he could fly. And now he can.

One Tree HIll: Jake Jagielski

Jake's Fairytale:
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who lived in a kingdom far, far away. And in that kingdom there also lived a Boy, and the princess loved that Boy. And so the two decided to marry. Now in this kingdom, all is not well. So the princess and The Boy were set to be wed. And because she was a princess, the call went out for a beautiful gown. Now as the wedding day approached, the princess worried about the evil king, because although he had not always been this way his heart had turned dark and his kingdom had grown to fear and despise him. In the days before the wedding, the king surprised the princess and gave his blessing to the marriage. But the princess was still torn. Even though she had found her true love, it would mean that she would have to leave her faithful handmaiden behind forever. On the eve of the princess's wedding a lavish feast was arranged. Friends and royalty were summoned from lands far away to join the happy couple for a night of laughter and magic. As the night wore on, a calm fell upon the land. All was right in the world. If only for a moment. Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away, there lived a beautiful princess who loved a Boy. But the people have their struggles, as all people do. And they had grown to fear and despise the king whose heart had turned dark. But in the end, the love between the princess and the Boy was undeniable and true. And over time that love would see them through anything. Magical things happened to them, things they couldn't explain, much like love itself. And like most fairy tales, the princess and the Boy lived happily ever after.

Every song ends. But that’s no reason to enjoy the music.

I've never been happier than when I'm with you. If I could I would stay with you forever. But I just can't.

Fear changes everything.
[Gives Lucas the book "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand]
Just remember, don't let him take it.

[time capsule]So, I'm a single father, and until recently a high school dropout, and I'm going on the first date since my daughter was born, aren't I a great catch or what?

Fear changes everything.

Don't let him take it.

One Tree Hill: Larry Sawyer

Just promise me one thing; promise me that when you pick the boy you're really going to be with that he will be someone who respects you, and treats you well, and that it's someone who makes your heart race, and that it's someone who you love because of what he is and not what he does, because that's how I felt about your mother and that's how I want you to feel one day. Use your head and follow your heart.

One Tree Hill: Keith Scott

I'm leaving because I can't look at you anymore without my heart breaking.

You gotta open up your heart to someone. You gotta let someone discover how staggering you are. But don't live alone, that I couldn't take.

You can't find something that's not there, like your heart.

We fell in love, and at some point, the people we love forgot to love us back.

Most people are stronger than they know... they just, forget to believe in it sometimes.

I'll tell you why. When I was a kid, my father took me to Raleigh to see David Thompson play. I was 9 years old. I couldn't have cared less about basketball. But when Thompson stepped on the court, he was so young, so quick, and just so graceful that I was mesmerized. I couldn't take my eyes off him until late in the game, and I look up at my dad, and he's got tears in his eyes. 14,000 strangers and my father's crying because he's so beautiful. He played with such poetry that he made us feel like we were a part of it. You have a gift, Luke, and it's a crime not to let people see it, to hide it in the park. It's a damn shame. That's why.

It's a special thing, saying 'I love you' to people you love. Because you never know when you'll lose them, or when they'll lose you.

So do me a favor, win tomorrow night. I was gonna say score but I didn't think that was appropriate.

I guess you had to ask the question I mean my track record with your mom is about as bad as the Raven's.

That's right. Big brother. And no matter what you did on that basketball court a lifetime ago, and no matter what you do now, I'll always be your big brother. So guess what, Danny boy? It was my name first. It's Lucas' name now. And there's nothing you can do about it.

You know, you can be ashamed of me. And you can be ashamed of Lucas. But what makes you think we're not just as ashamed of you? Huh? Now get out of my shop.

It's the rule of the life - the prettier the girl - the messier car; kind of a turn on.

I'm not gonna leave you here son. I'm not gonna do that and I'll tell you why. Cause I've been there. I've bought the gun, and i planned on using it ok. I've been there. And I wanna tell you something, it gets better. It does Jimmy. That pain in your stomach, that pain in your heart, it goes away. That voice in your head that's saying there's no way out, it's wrong Jimmy. Would you please, please just believe me. It gets better.

I always had a pair Danny. Just ask your wife.

It's funny, but I feel like I'm about to start the life that I always wanted.

Seeing your mom still takes my breath away.

You know, you want your relationship to move forward, some point you gotta let go of the past. Start writing a new future.

That pain in your stomach, that pain in your heart, it goes away. That voice in your head that's saying there's no way out, it's wrong Jimmy. Would you please, please just believe me. It gets better.

One Tree Hill: Deb Scott

Money buys nothing but misery.

I don't belong here, I'm a good person. So I pop pills, I haven't killed anybody. Sure maybe I started a fire once, and I did discharge a firearm recently, but it was an accident. The bottom line is... I don't need this place.

Shove it up your ass; I know I'm an addict. Spend a week with these people and you will be too.

As you know from my emails about Dan, I have been one miserable bitch. You?

Pack a bag and get out or so help me God, I will stab you in your sleep.

So you got poor people plus my sociopath ex-husband. I've got a problem alright.

Talk to me in a few years Haley. when your dreams are dead, and your child betrays you, then we'll see what kind of mother you'll be.

You know, pretty soon Nathan is going to realize that playing college basketball is a lot more fun than playing house. I'll save you some pills.

What makes you such a tight ass Karen. Is that what happens when you don't have sex
for seventeen years?

I don't know if anyone has told you, but I'm about as crazy as you can get without being committed.

Lucas, I'm sorry, truly. But Justice will be served. I promise that.

One Tree Hill: Dan Scott

What troubles me is how I've made mistakes. How I lie awake at night keeping company with regret. Not being the man I intended to be. What troubles me.

Somewhere along the line, I started hurting the people I care most about, and I can't figure out how to stop.

We all choose a path in life. Sometimes you never look back. Sometimes life forces you to.

Happiness doesn't come cheap. If it did, we'd all be smiling.

School was never my strong suit either. It's good we're both handsome.

You're my sons and I failed you. I'm sorry for that, for so many other things, but I'm proud that each of you have become the kind of man I could never be. You're good men and you're good brothers. Don't let the world change that.

[voiceover] It's been said that the saddest thing a man will ever face is what might have been. But what of a man whose faced with what was? Or what may never be? Or what can no longer be? Choosing the right path is never easy. It's a decision we make with only our hearts to guide us. But sometimes we find our way to something better. Sometimes we fight through the regret and remorse of our mistakes, our malice and our jealousy and the shame we feel for not being the people we were meant to be. And that's when we find our way to something better. Or when something better finds its way to us.

I have done some horrible things, unforgivable things. Lucas didn't need a father, he had one. He had the person who helped him bridge the shame of my cowardice. Everything I've touched has diminished: Deb's life, Nathan's talent. Keith-

That's not true, it's not true. I just wanna...wanna go back, you know. I just wanna go back. I... I wanna take that little kid that I used to be and just grab him and shake him and say you stop, stop, JUST STOP! I wanna wake up from this nightmare, you know, I wanna breathe again. I wanna, I wanna breathe again, Karen. Can you help me breathe? Can you help me quite these voices in my head that tell me that I've lost you? 'Cause I know I have... If only I would've stayed with you.

Lucas: Kill or be killed.
Dan: It's the way of the world.

Don't be so quick to judge me, Lucas. It's easy to have all the answers from a distance, but everybody makes decisions they regret. Me, your mother, Keith. But we learn to live with it. It's part of life.

True. But there's also a chance that hell could freeze over.

You should take a job application... now that you're unemployed.

I should apologize... but I won't.

Can't blame a man for trying to hold on.

Well maybe you could find out in the phone book. Look under 'w' for whore. But wait she's not that smart so look under 'h'.

Somewhere along the line, I started hurting the people I care most about, and I can't figure out how to stop.

No one should determine your future but you.

You know what they say, we marry our mothers.

Trust me, don't take anything for granted.

I'm Dan Scott. Local businessman, school board member, and murderer. Family first, that's my motto.

Sometimes the truth is all we have.

Speak from your heart and don't forget to smile.

I murdered his uncle, among other things.

They say that truth is the best indication against slander. But what is the truth?

Believe nothing. Just because a wise man said it or you read it in a book, words of divine origin, or simply because your mother told you, it doesn't make it true. Believe only what you yourself can test and judge to be true.

Attraction is not a choice. It just is.

Falling in love is the easiest thing you're ever going to do. It's most exciting thing, it's the most powerful thing. That's why falling out of love hurts like hell, but falling in love, there's nothing better. It's the best it ever gets.

Falling in love is easy. But a lifetime of love, now there's a miracle.

Relationships aren't always easy. I should know, I'm on my second marriage.

Divorce doesn't just happen. And relationships don't just end in an instance.

We all wanted love. To be happy. So why aren't we? Because we've become experts at sabotaging our own happiness. Feeling like victims when in fact it's the choices we make. The bad habits, the vices. The inability to show love and compassion. These are the things that tear us down. We're no victims, we're assassins when it comes to love and happiness.

Step into the light and get yourself right.

Sometimes we fall short of the people we were meant to be. Sometimes people do things they are ashamed of. And usually after the guilt sets in, we make things worse. Sometimes people do funny things in the face of pressure and desperation. And the truth, well, the truth isn't absolute. And the truth can set you free.

Life is funny. Sometimes bad things happen to good people and it isn't fair.

It takes a con to know a con.

Turn your gaze inward and confess the truth inside of you.

One Tree Hill: Karen Roe

If you believe in it, see it through; eventually someone else will see it too.

Faith is believing when there's nothing else to do.

You've gone further than anyone I know.

To a place where it's okay to dream again. You know, you walked away from basketball so that you could live a long life. What are you gonna do with that life. What's your next dream, Lucas?

If by "change," you mean "drag a brush through it," then yeah.

Best friends can forgive each other over anything.

It's hard to fight the things we are afraid of. Sometimes we just need a little help.

Then you said something I'll never forget. You said you felt bad for the kids who never figured it out because when they grew up and had kids of their own, there wouldn't be any gifts on Christmas morning. You're a good kid, Luke. But sometimes I feel like you're sitting out your life on account of me, and I don't want that for you. My past is not your future, okay?

You know a customer once told me that the best way to get over someone was to get under someone else.

Look at him... With his ass of a suit, his assy smile, and his frat boy haircut!

Nathan, I know what it's like to have the person you love walk away. Trust me. But I know Haley and she's a good person. She'll do the right thing. You just have to have a little faith.

You could at least do me the courtesy of tightening your alibi before checking into Hotel Brooke.

It's more than being careful with the chemistry. It's about being careful with your heart.

I will not have a gun toting junkie destroy a 17 year old business.

One Tree Hill: Mia

Guys always tell the truth when they're wasted.

So am I allowed to ask what's going on with you and Lucas? Or is that like saying Voldemort?

Almost as cool as my bartender boyfriend.

I really do hope you make a better pilot that bartender.

You know I thought I would be afraid to fly with you but I’m kinda turned on. You got thirty seconds to join the mile high club, Captain.

Lose the shirt, I’ll go get the tape measure.

I think sometimes all somebody needs is someone to look a little deeper, unlock their potential like Haley did with me.

One Tree Hill: Millicent Huxtable

There's greatness in all of us, someday the underdog will rise up and take over.

No, because you're an evil bitch.

Please don't have sex with me, either.

This person thinks I look like a turd sandwich!

You don't think I look like a frumpy whore on bingo night?!

"Melvin, got my drink on with Alex. If you’re done being a tool you should come rock out with your cock out."

Except in a working relationship, you never under any circumstances, no matter how tempted you are, have sex with the other person.

It's comforting to know that you have someone there that knows what you're going through.

It’s my job to look good bitch.

I know but Brooke isn’t done with it yet. Not to mention, super uber assistant is guarding it like a va jay jay.

One Tree Hill: Rachel Gatina

I never really felt anything with the guys I've slept with.

Never say you’re sorry.

It's mine, bitch. And your fat ass isn't invited.

You're gonna break a lot of hearts Mouth McFadden.

Didn't you F her BF when you two were still BFF?

Bitch, you're lucky you're pregnant!

Let's just say I started the morning off with a bang.

Great! You're the new Mouth!

Nathan looked good tonight, no wonder you're pregnant.

Nurse: I know you cheerleaders expect special treatment, but I never liked the cheerleaders at my school.
Rachel: Its probably because you looked like that.

You guys really need to work it out. When I was in fat girl therapy. Role play.

If you're looking for Nathan... he's in my bedroom.

Nobody has all the answers, but we all have our why's. Like, why did this happen? Why didn't we see it coming? And why do people watch American Idol?

Everybody can't be popular, because if they were, nobody would be popular.

You know Mouth, that guy is either gonna stand on his own two feet or he's gonna fall, but he has to do it on his own. That's the scary truth, Mouth. We're all alone.

700 days. High School, out of 20 or 30 thousand, can't you see past that. It's only 700 days.

Well, well... I would like to make a toast, to Cooper's toast, about love. But, wait a minute, what could Nathan and Haley possibly know about love? I mean, they're only seventeen right? Right Cooper? You see, Cooper seems to think a seventeen year old couldn't possibly know anything about love. Of course, you know, that didn't stop him from having sex with me. Right? To sex with Cooper!

Well, I know I'm not in Heaven cause they wouldn't have let Brooke Davis's kinky ass through the gates.

I understand why you are so angry, Haley. I used to be a fat chick with a little head too.

Rachel Gatina: If you're looking for Nathan... he's in my bedroom.
Haley James: If you're looking for a black eye... it's in my fist.

Well won't you just be the busiest girl in HOE business.

You can't have the baby, you'd be a terrible mother.

We all turn into our parents. I mean, as soon as Brooke Jr. hits puberty, Brooke Sr. hits South Beach.

You're my biggest competition in this town and you're packing on baby weight.

I'm sorry, but when you Brooke yourself, do you do that alone or is that a group thing. Because if it's a group thing, I'm totally in.

I could let you preview the whole spread.

You drive her to the clinic, I'll pick her up. Oh come on, there's no way Brooke and Lucas are ready to have a baby.

What's wrong Mr. Chavez? I thought you liked high school students.

You're an underpaid high school teacher sleeping with a student, and I'm insecure? Yeah, okay.

How can you be so soft on the inside, and so hard on the outside?

You’ll never find forgiveness from your family.

Dan isn’t doing this to help Nathan see the light. He’s doing this to bury Nathan. And the deeper Nathan is buried, the more money he’ll have to pay you to dig himself out.

Funny, I used to want you to be my daddy, now I’m your mommy.

I remember when you were a rumor in third period.

Rachel Scott. Dan’s ex-screw up of a wife who has changed her life with the positive words of Dan Scott. It’s genius.

Dan helped me step into the light and get myself a personal trainer, a drive, and a black card.

Then I got unsober and ended up shaking my ass on a pole.

One Tree Hill: Marvin 'Mouth' McFadden

You know that’s really not fair. It’s one thing to break my heart but do you have to look like a beer commercial while doing it.

Because, sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you've been. And remember the person you were meant to be. The person you wanted to be. The person you are.

One of these days you’re going to have to quit lying and just be yourself. Maybe today’s that day.

I felt larger than life when I was with Erica. I'd give anything to have that back.

Well, I should get home. That stripper might call me.

I mean, a night with you is like flying first class. My life is coach. It's going to be hard going back to it.

Take a look at this picture. What do you see? There's a high school basketball game tonight somewhere in America and there's a great story there. But sometimes to find it, you have to look away, into the shadows on the fringe of the obvious. Can you see it? Look closer.

I wouldn't want to date you if you were sleeping with your boss either.

I would totally date you if you were sleeping with Brooke.

Brooke: What do virgins talk about?
Mouth: Oh, we like rainbows and kittens!

You know, say what you will about the ravages of sports in this corporate age where overpaid athletes expect prima donna treatment, but there's still something som unifying about sporting in it's purest form, when athletes rise above themselves and touch greatness, and in doing so remind us all that we all have greatness inside of us.

'Cause every time you tell a girl you like her, she says what a great friend you are, right? Oh wait, that's me. You're the guy they all throw themselves at. Brooke, Rachel, Peyton... probably even New Guy!

It wasn't supposed to be this way. The artists, and the scientists, and the poets...none of them fit in at seventeen. You're supposed to get past it. Adults, they see kids killing kids and they know its a tragedy because they used to be those kids. The bullies and the beaten and the loners. You're supposed to get past it. You're supposed to live long enough to take it back. Just take it all back.

But I'm not that guy, Rachel, and I don't want to be. So maybe the elite girls just aren't for me. But one of these days, I'm gonna meet a girl who really loves me. Maybe she won't be what you call hot, but I'll think she's beautiful and I'll tell her so. I won't be mean to her because I don't have to play games with her. I'll just be the guy she can always count on and that'll be enough. And she'll be elite to me."

You called me 17 minutes ago and I drive a bicycle, Brooke.

I'll speak for her. We just heard Principal Turner read a list of Erica's accomplishments. I could try to do that for Brooke, but it would be kind of a short speech... As you know, Brooke's probably one of the most popular people in school. Something I'm definitely not... and yet, she's my friend. She never cared what clique I was part of, the kinds of clothes I wore or... the fact that I have to ride the bus... She looked past that stuff. And when you think about it, isn't that what we want in our president; someone who can see past the superficial differences and bring us together? This year, Brooke's had her share of ups and downs... just like all of us. But most of you never saw it, 'cuz even when life got hard, Brooke never let it in. She was just...Brooke; tough, smart, one of a kind... And I don't know about you but those are things that I look for in a leader. Brooke Davis is my friend. But that's not why I'm voting for her. I'm voting for her because of her heart... and her spirit... and because she's the best person for the job.

Listen, Brooke, I don't know what's going on with you and Lucas, but he's a really good guy. I've never really been good at sports. I mean, I'm little, ya know, but when I decided I wanted to be a sports announcer, Lucas introduced me to the guys at the River Court, and he made me feel like I belonged. He has a good heart, and as far as I can tell, you do, too. I'd be surprised if you two couldn't work things out.

Be nice, be nice, put it in there. There you go.

It pays to be an AV geek.

Big man, put them in there. There you go.

I'm really messed up on the hooch, you know.

We just heard Principal Turner read a list of Erica's accomplishments. I could try to do that for Brooke but it would be kind of a short speech. As you know, Brooke's probably one of the most popular people in school. Something I'm definitely not. And yet she's my friend.

And because she's the best person for the job.

You ever been a girl's friend. It sucks. You know what else sucks. New guys.

Right. Look if you wanna get on my good side... and you do, stop kissing Brooke! Don't even look at Rachel! And don't move here, cause nobody likes new guys, New guy. What was I talking about?

I am a real reporter, that's why I don't report gossip.

Weren't you tipped off when the sun came up?

I would offer to spot you but I max out at like 180… ish.

You deserve to feel special every second, every day.

Camping is a great way to forget your life.

I committed the cardinal sin of broadcast. Told people to turn the channel.

If I were her parents, I would be more worried about you being you than you being black?

Can I go to this because it sounds like an event of disaster?

Same Rachel, different city.

So I guess Dan helped you step into the light and get yourself right.

One Tree Hill: Brooke Davis

Brooke's Philosophy on dating:
Brooke: Here's my philosophy on dating: it's important to have somebody who can make you laugh, somebody you can trust, somebody that, ya know, turns you on. And it's really, really important that these three people don't know each other.

All girls really want is someone to want them back.

Sometimes people play hard to get because they need to know that the other person's feelings are real.

A girl can do whatever she puts her mouth to.

Someone once said, "It's the good girls who keep diaries. The bad girls never have the time." I just wanna live a life I'm gonna remember. Even if I don't write it down

Don't cry for a guy, let a guy cry for you. Cause girls give and forgive, but guys get and forget.

Guys are easy. They usually fall for me over the first pathetic dinner.

Welcome to the dark side. Deception for lunch. Payback for dinner. Pie for lunch.

How about how you show it? I'm not pushing you away Lucas. I am holding on for dear life, but I need you to need me back. Okay, why wouldn't you tell me about the kiss and why didn't you call me while you were away and why won't you ever just let me all the way in? We have to go give our toasts now, about love.

This, Missy blond girl, is the Brooke Davis version of 'Spin the Bottle'. Only now, it's 'Spin the Body'. Watch. OK, you two have to make out. And last but not least; we have 'Five Minutes in the Elevator'.

Hey cutie! I saw your picture in the paper. Personally, I didn't think it did you justice.

Congratulations, Victoria, now you have a company and no daughter. You got your dream.

1 out of every 500 people gets assaulted or raped. There were over 30,000 aggravated assaults in our state alone last year. 7,000 robberies, 3,000 murders, 600 rapes. It's official, life sucks and then you die.

Do you know what my mother said to me when I told her I wanted to start a company? She said "your chances are one in a million" and I said "Maybe I'm that one" and she said "you're not.". And she was wrong. And whatever she thought she saw in me was wrong... Because I am one in a million and there is a child out there who has something so special inside of them but whose life is miserable because they think that nobody wants them. And I could be a great mother to that child, no matter their age or race or sex. I could help them find what makes them special. And if you can't see that, then you're wrong, just like my mother. Why don't you go ahead and write that down?

Well buddy, you found my birth control patches. Those fix a whole other problem. Next cabinet.

I don't wanna call him. It violates all the rules of dating. And yet, I'm gonna look like a desperate. He has to do us a favor and then he can make fun of me for it.

It has always been "Lucas and Peyton". You guys are meant to be together. It's the way it's supposed to be. So go and get your man. And this time, if he proposes please say "yes."

Duh! For Lucas. Game on, bitch!

Honey, Lindsey doesn't stand a chance, trust me. I have been the "Lindsey" between "Lucas and Peyton" and it is not a great place to be.

Are you kidding? You're Peyton Sawyer. The guy wrote a whole book about how much he loves you.

I know. You've had your "Lucas Stealing Face" since you picked me up from the airport.

I'm sorry, darling, you're not nearly bitchy enough to work in one of my stores.

Oh don't look away, second and third greatest nights in your life just walked back into your world.

You know love triangles are so high school.

We made it, didn't we? Through all the tragedy and jealousy and confusion. We made it.

I don't get it; he left with Rachel, why would he need ass?

That is your problem, you are so ungrateful.

Don't call me an idiot, bitch!

I'm the one with no prom dress, no boyfriend and a black eye, you get to go to prom with the boy you love, so you win. Why do you even care anymore?

Okay, my discomfort meter is pretty much pegged.

Peyton here. I like to steal boys but I'm afraid to tell them how I feel.

Okay. Peyton here again. Did I mention that if you love me you're probably gonna die soon? See mothers 1 and 2.

Oh then I guess your mom slept around even more than you do.

What are you laughing at? Your "I love you"'s send people to their grave.

Now I know how this dress looks on a witch.

Don't even try it. Please, the Fall Out Boy? I can spot him hitting - on - you from a mile away, and you were definitely returning fire.

I really really do love that big piece of sexy.

Your elevator list! Come on! The list of people you're allowed to have sex with if you're ever stuck in an elevator with them.

Details! It's like driving a car but into water, without a speed limit.

We are practically a beer commercial. It would be wrong not to take it. So let's go. Hop on, best friend.

No, not really. I don't know what hurts worse: you and Lucas sneaking around behind my back or you lying about it to my face.

The rest of the world's been waiting on you two idiots since high school.

Behave, or I will smack you.

They don't do that at real weddings, Skills.

That gown is tailor-made, so, no. And Peyton is gonna be okay.

And with that, boy time is over.

I believe in our lives we were all meant to do something. It does not matter when your success comes, success can come whenever you want it to.

I live with my friend Rachel, she is so funny and she had all this plastic surgery and she just got suspended and now... she is kind of... missing.

I guess now it's hoes over psychos.

I have a lot of skeletons in my closet, and apparently half of them are naked.

Did you do something slutty?

What do virgins talk about?

Check me out! I'm a smart virgin!

I'm not book smart, I'm Brooke smart and there is a big difference.

Shelly: Well, the door's always open.
Brooke: Just like Rachel's legs.

Brooke: A little late for a Clean Teen meeting, don't you think?
Rachel: What else does virgins have to do at night?

Well, I'd like to say yes. But, honestly I don't really think people can change. You know at the end of the day you are who you are, and it's probably who you've always been.

Rachel: Slut.
Brooke: Bitch.
Rachel: Whore... Well, I know I'm not in heaven 'cause they'd never let Brooke Davis' skanky ass through the gates.
Brooke: And your ass wouldn't fit. At least not the old one.

Before we end the night I just want to say a few words about Nathan and Haley. I told them once, not too long ago to be happy because someday they'd make us all believe in true love. And, they do. In a few days they're going to renew that love for all of us to see. But, in a way we see it every day. The only difference is that Haley will look fabulous in her dress by Clothes over Bros; which is kind of odd seeing as how she's marrying a bro. But, that's not the point, sorry. One rainy day Nathan Scott proposed to Haley James and the rest is a fairy tale...

Once upon a time in a kingdom far, far away a girl and a boy fell in love. And then another girl, supposedly a friend, secretly taped how they fell in love and decided use it against them. So tonight I give you an authentic and very unauthorized reenactment of Nathan and Haley, a fairy tale.

We're all gonna get our hope back Luke. It's just gonna take some of us longer than others, you know?

You should be ashamed of yourself. There are kids inside our school fearing for their lives right now, terrified that someones gonna put a gun in their face and pull the trigger and you want to know how I'm feeling? Our pain is not a commodity for you. It's not a news bite to boost your ratings because tomorrow or the next day or the next week when we go back to school, changed forever by a day that will never leave us where are you gonna be? At the next tragedy thrusting your microphone in the face of the next fractured person asking them how they feel? Lady that is not journalism. You are not contributing anything to society. You are buzzards circling the carnage but you prey on the living. That is how I'm feeling but something tells me you're not gonna air that.

The truth is, I don't really like to think about college 'cause that means high school's over. After graduation everyone will probably go play basketball, or sing, or start record labels. And I'll have to start all over - alone.

There are 82 letters in here, and they're all addressed to you. I wrote them all this summer. One a day, but I never sent them 'cause I was afraid....I was afraid of getting my heart broken again, like before. 'Cause you hurt me so bad, and I was afraid to be vulnerable. And I was afraid of you and the way that you make me feel. And I know that doesn't matter now after what I did, but I just thought that you should know. This was how I spent my summer Luke, wanting you... I was just too scared to admit it.

It was a fantasy draft Tim, you know like the fantasies you have about Nathan, not real.

Bevin, what the hell was going through your size two brain?!

Naked in the backseat? That's so last year it's two years ago.

This is our new post-game party palace. All it needs is a P. Sawyer makeover, a little paint, couple of those creepy nobody-understands-me drawings that you do and a batch of hot boys.

Come get the crabs at Carl's Crab Shack.

And once you lose yourself, you have two choices: Find the person you used to be or lose that person completely.

So you're probably looking at this and making fun of my outfit, right? Anyway, here's all you really need to know about today; if... you fat, dumb, sexual, and a guy, you're OK. If you're a girl, not so much. Please tell me that's changed in the future. Somebody tell me you've got love figured out, because I got news for you; it's pretty darn messy right now. But I guess it's always been that way. Wanting to be loved, to find somebody that makes your heart ache in a good way.. feel understood. So... if you're robots, or aliens, or something and you're watching this right now and that feeling no longer exists; well... you missed it... and I feel sorry for you. 'Cause as far as I can tell, that's what it's all about. And that's what I know it should be about.

I thought I knew you. But I guess it's easier to see what we want than to look for the truth. You think you know me but you don't. And that means you don't know what I can do. You see me as someone who's popular and who has all the answers but that's not true. I may not always know what I'm doing but I'll try to make things better. And when I make a mistake, because face it, we all do, I promise I'll ask for your help. I can't do this alone, but if you'll take a chance on me, we can do great things together. I promise if you believe in me, I'll find the courage to reach for your every dream. John F. Kennedy said, "the courage of life is a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures. And that is the basis of all morality."

Hi, I'm Brooke. We haven't been officially introduced, but you're dating my ex-boyfriend and I'm sleeping with your brother. So it looks like we have a lot in common.

It's another mechanic stripper! ... No. Just Lucas.

This means that I would actually have to study to get into college.

It's ok, we sold my pride around 8:30. I'd rather see you wearing my clothes than these 50 year old wannabes. So I'll give you the good friend discount.

Okay, guy in need of a clue. Here's one. Women send signals. That was a brush off. Before you dip into your shallow pool of wit, let me paint us a picture and save us both the trouble. Here's your evening. You are going to slink back off to your buddies, laugh this off, get wasted, go home, and make nice with yourself. But don't be thinking of me because even your fantasy of me isn't interested in you.

That doesn't really matter, Lucas 'cause in the end, it all hurts just the same.

People that are meant to be together always find their ways in the end.

All work and no Brooke makes Luke a boring boy.

We're young. We're fine. Let's do some damage.

Wanna know what I think? I think Nathan likes tutor girl. But I think tutor girl likes Lucas. And I know I like Lucas. And I don't know who the hell you like anymore. This is all turning into one big love ... rectangle plus one, whatever that is..

You're not afraid that the three of us will get sucked back down this Bermuda triangle chain of drama?

Since when does grounding imply to fitness?

The bad guys lie to get in your bed; the good guys lie to get in your heart.

No, I was partially naked. At one point I had mittens on cause it was cold.

Easy on the skanky innuendo!

This is like dance auditions for "Crap, the Musical."

I didn't want to wake you, sleeping bitchy.

Haley still loves you. All you have to do is take her back.

Somebody was being a full on diva skank.

Real thing beat the internet don't they?

I can't breathe. There's no room with Chris's ego!

Peyton: Buds over studs.
Brooke: Hoes over bros.

Lucas was my gangrene-infected, amputated limb.

Well, we have a nightly banjo duel and then there's the cousin swap, and on Friday nights we all take baths together!

Naked in the backseat is so last year, its two years ago.

I guess that's in the vows, huh? I wonder if you knew that when you signed up at the ripe old age of, like, 12.

Is being desperately horny, contagious?

No sex til our hearts catch up with our hormones.

Being in love sucks.

So what if I start sleep walking. And my pajamas accidentally fall off. And I end up in your bed?

There are deal breakers for 17 year old boys, even married ones. There are times to keep your mouth shut and there are times to lie. That was a lie time.

I'm not the most eloquent speaker, so I thought I would bother a few words from Shakespeare. 'Love is not love, which alters when it alteration finds. When life gets hard, when things change, true love remains the same.' I look at Haley and Nathan and somehow I feel safer. I don't know if I can explain that but they give me hope. And I'm afraid to say it out loud because maybe if life finds out it'll try to beat it out of them and that would be a shame. Because we all could use a little hope, you know? That feeling that everything is gonna be okay. And there's going to be someone there to help make sure of that. So, here's to Nathan and Haley. And here's to hope and a love that will not alter.

A kiss always means something.

Don't you dare! Don't you dare twist my words around to make yourself feel like you are not a back-stabbing two faced bitch, Peyton, because you are and you know it.

Happy Birthday Brooke, welcome to 18. You've certainly made a mess of it.

Second hand death flowers, thanks... shoot me now.

Yes it would, everything is Peyton's fault. Shes like a cursed rabbit's foot. Shes bad luck. [Haley laughs] I am serious, traitor girl. Do not take her side against me.

Why not Hometown Hussy because you've got that one in the bag.

Okay, listen to me. Who I am and how I choose to live my life is none of your business.

What about my decision right now I'm making to kick your preachy ass?

Okay, I understand in your world it's black and white, but in the real world everything is just a little more complicated.

Burn me at the stake but I like boys and I like sex.

You have a virgin club and you're not a virgin.

You're either a virgin or not. And a pledge does not have broken hymen mend.

You're a hypocrite. you are walking around here preaching celibacy to everyone and you've already sold your cow, your milk or whatever.

Just think of it this way: most guys buy a motorcycle because they're compensating...for you know; Nathan wears a size 14.

Yeah, I don't hang out with "fake virgins".

Tree Hill High thinks I'm a slut. Lucas thinks I'm giving birth to Chris Keller the second and my gossipy roommate thinks I'd make a terrible mother, and she's right. I can't do this Haley. I can't be pregnant anymore.

The blow-off 101. Let's review: One, you can't date her right now, but it's not her, it's you. Two, you're so messed up right now she'd be miserable dating you. Three, there are way better guys she could have in her life. And Four, are you ready for this? Dating would ruin your really special friendship. If she gets bummed when you tell her you want to be good friends then tell her you want to be great friends.

Gee, I really need to stop being roommates with boyfriend stealing skanks, Peyton, I mean Rachel.

Really let's go over the list of things you have done to me. You tried to seduce Lucas when he was my boyfriend, take my spot as cheer captain, and two weeks ago, you told the entire school I was pregnant. I was just beginning to think you were a real person, but you're just a slutty lying liar who lies.

Well, I don't know who I hate more Mr. Chavez. You, for being a lying bastard or me, for believing your crap and for betraying my friend.

All you can do is weather the storm; don't fuel the flames and make it worse. Eventually they'll move onto someone else.

I mentioned it to Victoria and she jumped on it so fast you would think it was Julian's dad.

Get a shovel and help her get rid of the body.

Not unless you think Alex is trying to sleep with her.

Totally not a turd sandwich.

Does Brooke Davis have to slap a bitch?

What are you doing? Do you shake hands by spreading your legs? A guy who’s finally interested in your writing instead of your body, and you did what you do best. You blew it. He was giving you the chance to show the world that you are more than just another stupid, washed up actress but you proved that’s exactly what you are. Oh no, I’ll be taking this, we at least need your body in shape, since that’s all you have going for you.

This hot body of yours just inspired me to do something I have never done before. And it’s going to take lot of hard work, and a long, long time. And I’m going to need you to start by taking your pants off.

Once a hoe bag, always a hoe bag.

Hoe bag got naked in from of Julian!

Alex “my butt is the size of a cumquat” Dupray

She is so manipulative, and materialistic, and self-serving, and naked, and…

It’s been recently brought to my attention that the way you behave is a lot like “high school me” used to. And I would be insane to let “high school me” anywhere near the man I love. Man I love shouldn’t even think about sleeping anywhere but the couch tonight. What you didn’t do is tell me that hoe bag got naked for you.

Hey Chase, break’s over. So drop your pants.

I don’t think anyone has had homies since 1989.

Geez, Eddie Bauer did you buy the whole catalog?

Who knew that Tutor girl is actually Stoner girl.?

Please tell that munchkin to stop looking at me.

No. No no no, please no creepy psychics. I can’t handle it right now.

Quinn, your creepy psychic just cursed us.

I knew that woman would bring a demon into your house.

Life as Lucas Scott's girlfriend can get pretty lonely sometimes.

You know when I was a freshman, I wasn't a very good person. Sure I was popular, I dated seniors, but as a person I was pretty lost. And over the last four years, I've been forced to grow up. I stopped letting boys define me and I started believing in myself and my potential and I ran for student council preseident and I designed a clothing line. And somewhere along the way the lost little party girl became the girl on the wall of honor. And I know what I did was wrong, but the girl that I was when I came to this school, I'm not so sure she would of. But isn't that the point of high school? Isn't that what you guys have been trying to teach us for the last four years?

I know I watched her leave on my sneaky slut cam.

I’m pretty sure the last time I checked “what’s the rush?” doesn’t mean “let’s have a baby.”

Millicent Huxtable, that dress needs to leave this bar on or off of you. Your choice or your job.

Why can’t you be the girl that gets the boy and the baby, Brooke Davis?

Now is the time for us to shine. The time when our dreams are within reach and possibilities vast. Now is the time for all of us to become the people we've always dreamed of being. This is your world, you're here. You matter. The world is waiting.

Anorexia is a disease, not a fashion statement.

Maybe so. But being poor and horny is no way to go through life.

Okay here’s the thing. We are not dating, we are not going out. I am not your wife, your shrink, or your mommy. There is no romance, no crappy poetry, no PDA and no spooning. This is purely physical. If we have sex, it’s going to be safe sex. We’re friends with benefits, and in fact, we don’t even need to talk.

If it was up to you we’d all be getting our marriage licenses with our driver licenses.

Okay I’ve never had a problem that ice cream couldn’t solve. And I’ve had some problems.

My house key. You moved out, right? I can't have people coming and going like it's some kind of Rachel Gatina crack den.

Sometimes our relationships seem so simple and easy. no matter what it turns into a big mess. and there are days that i wanna dive into that mess. but then other days i can't help but wonder if maybe we're just two people that don't work as a couple.

Well I guess I made a huge, stupid, unforgivable mistake. Imagine that. Well then I guess I’m also a no-good, dirty liar.

Hi daughter. Hi mother. How was your morning on set daughter? Oh, it was just fine mother, fine, until the ex love of my life and current bane of my existence made it very clear to me that they did the wild thing last night.

It is very clear to me that the Julian apple didn’t fall far from the sleazy Paul tree.

I’m the donkey in a big, stupid Shakespearean mix up.

So I ruined wardrobe, bitched out the one man who makes my world turn, and clocked an interloping hoochie, who’s one mistake is sleeping with Crocodile Dundee.

If you ask me, they did you a favor. Boys love lesbians.

Clothes over Bros is my dream come true. This is what I wished for.

The bar is more for my roommate. You should see her knock them back she’s a champ.
The boy that she loves recently almost married someone else, when all in said, kinda went A-WOL, so unlike me who is perfectly stable and normal. She’s struggling a bit but I guess that’s what happens when you fall in love.
