One Tree Hill: Whitey Durham

I know you want some answers, but what is the right answer? Because there is no answer, it's just life.

When somebody says you can't do something you fight back. You prove them wrong.

Then find somebody who does. Nathan, where is the fire that made you the best player I ever coached?. Show me it's still there. If it's not, put down that ball and walk home. People love a guy who rises from the ashes. Remember that.

You know Lucas was so broken up he couldn't play the last game? No, I didn't think so. Look Karen, you gave Keith the thing that he loved most in all the world, Lucas. He was never happier than when he was talking about you and that boy. You gave him a son for a lifetime and you let him matter to Lucas. I know how that feels. Karen, you couldn't have given him much more. Let the guilt fall away, let it go.

Whose fault was that? [Karen slaps him] I'm glad to see you're still in there. Now, you listen to me. I said that because I know the guilt that you're caring around. And you're wrong to feel it. Feeling guilty is not gonna bring Keith back.

I want you to go home and hit the sheets ... preferably alone.

I was just getting used to low-waist jeans. Let's go, ball boy!

Oh, well, by the way there's a half naked girl at the back seat of your car. I just thought you'd like to know that.

What are you doing? Putting on your makeup? Get into the gym and start warming up. Jagielski, when you find the pumps to match your skirt, you might get into the gym, too.

There's no shame in being afraid. Hell, we're all afraid. What you gotta do is figure out what you're afraid of because when you put a face on it, you can beat it. Better yet, you can use it.

I'd stand up, but every time I do somebody kicks me in the ass for putting you on the team.

Alright Paris and Nicole, that's quite enough. If I wanted to watch cheerleaders wrestle I'd turn on pay-per-view.

I thought fire was supposed to be Satan's friend.

It's been fifty years, fifty long years since I've done this. 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 and despair, remember it's only in the black of night you see the stars. And those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, cause 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.

Most fathers would be touched by this moment but I'm guessing it's your worst nightmare.

Don't you mean our room? Oh, the two of you shacked up together in sin. That's a bad example to the children. Ya oughta be ashamed of yourselves.

Not long ago, I found a kid out on that very same court. If that young man turns out to be the kind of player and person that scrawny kid turned out to be, it's a no-brainer.

Alright Paris and Nicole, that's quite enough. If I wanted to watch cheerleaders wrestle I'd turn on pay-per-view.

Basketball is a team sport. Last I checked there was no 'I' in team. I'm assuming you all can spell.
