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.
