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.

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!

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.

One Tree Hill: Peyton Sawyer

You know, sex is the easy part. It's giving your heart to someone, that's the hard part.

You know every song ends. Is that no reason to enjoy the music?

You know that feeling you get on a Sunday where you just have the whole day to yourself and it’s been great and you remember you have to go to school the next day and it just ruins the night.

At this moment, there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared.. someone are coming home.. some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world, six billion souls. And sometimes, all you need is one.

Losing your heart's desire is tragic, but gaining your heart's desire is all you can wish for. So if that's tragic, then give me tragedy!

Imagine a future moment in your life where all your dreams come true. You know it's the greatest moment of your life and you get to experience it with one person. Who's standing next to you?

I spent a lot of time being miserable, Jake. It’s like Misery is an old friend. And it tricks you sometimes into thinking that she’s always going to be there and you can’t be happy. But you can. You can walk away from pain and I think being in love is the best way to do it.

Imagine a future moment in your life where all your dreams come true. You know, it's the greatest moment of your life and you get to experience it with one person. Who's standing next to you?

Don't forget me when you're a big star Lucas Scott.

Time flies when you get what you wish for.

Yeah... you know Ellie once told me not to be afraid of the music, just cause it might end. Thanks Haley, you really are a good friend. And I am so happy I never shared any of my secrets with you.

My Mom used to sing to me, I don't think I've ever told anyone that before, it was like our little secret. But every night she'd come in and she'd tuck me in and she'd sing something, like lullaby's or album rock stuff. And after she was gone I remember lying in bed for the first time and just feeling silence, you know. Then realizing for the rest of my life that it was gone, all her songs were gone, her voice and the way it used to soothe me, just all of it. So I guess I tried to find new songs to fill that quiet, but none of them ever really have. Now she's gone and Mia's gone... and Luke is gone. There's just silence...There's just silence. I come in here and I sit in silence and hear the echoes of who we used to be. And so I wish for patience, and grace, and strength to just let him be happy. Mostly I pray for the strength to not make his life worse because of what I want. That's the toughest part, letting go, you know? That's the part of grace that really sucks.

I broke that knuckle punching something after we've broken up for like the twentieth time! We were horrible together!

Alright. How about, I hate you bitch you ruined my life. Does that do anything for ya?

He said 'I do', Brooke. The minister asked if he would love and cherish Lindsey forever and he said 'I do'.

Remember that day? Because that day changed everything and I didn't know it at the time. But when you fixed my car, you fixed my heart. And when you proposed to me two years ago, I just wasn't ready. And I was lost and scared, so I said 'someday', but someday's now Luke, it is. Someday is now and I love you. Please don't leave me again. People always leave. [back to reality and as a voiceover] At least that's what I should have said, instead, I said nothing and he said:

Okay. How about this? How about Peyton puts on a nice dress, watches Lucas get married, gets wasted and has drunk, meaningless sex with some guy at the reception?

It's fine Haley, Daddy's gonna make everything better for the little rich girl who got everything she ever wanted!

Her name is Lindsey, Man-faced Lindsey. And her fiancee proposed to me first, with the very same ring!

There is somebody that we know who is not coaching or playing in this game.

Dear Molly, this is gonna sound a little strange but I'd like you to paint over my old closet door. The thing is there is never a time when you will be more honest, and your convictions will be stronger, and your motives will be more pure than they are right now. Which means you should chase whatever excites you. Be confident, and take risks, and paint over my words so you can start writing your own. My story may have inspired you, but I'm certain your story will inspire the next girl to live in our room. I want you to know you don't need somebody to write about you in order for your life to mean something. You can write about yourself... make your own destiny. Then years from now the next girl will keep what you write on that door long enough to remind you how inspired your life is. And you can tell that girl to paint over the door because you realize the words you wrote, the friends you had, the urgency you felt will always be there under the paint. The love you professed will always be there, the spark of something undeniable, a seed of hope, the truth for better or for worse burning fiercely just below the surface. Love Peyton.

It's like you touched my soul. And a few days ago I was ready to quit again but you saved me with the words you wrote about me in your novel. So if you're struggling writing the next one you should know that your art matters Lucas. It's what got me here.

I was there Lucas. I was so proud of you, but we hadn't talked in a long time, and I saw you with Lindsey and I figured you guys were together. Which clearly you are. I like her. I do, but do you remember when you first joined the Ravens and you took all my sketches to Thud without even asking? And do you remember what you said that night when you first entered the gym?

Oh come on! We're gonna be graduating soon! We all know graduating plus partying equals Brooke Davis minus her clothes.

You made fun of my mom's death, Brooke. You knew her, you cried with me when she died and now you use her as a punchline in a joke to hurt me. It hurt, it did, but not anymore cause you and me, we're done. You're right, she's dead and as far as I'm concerned so are you!

Why do I care? Brooke this has been one of the worst years of my life, and I needed my best friend now more then ever, but you, you cut me out of your life because I was honest with you, when you were never ever honest with me!

Our friend here is pregnant and in a lot of pain and this bitch is about to get her ass kicked.

Speaking of stealing, hi I'm Brooke I stole my friend Peyton's artwork for my designs and didn't bother to say thank you!

And by the way, none of those words were, "Yes Peyton, I Love Him."

Fine. So, this is how it ends. A ten year friendship that survived two dead moms, three absentee parents, shoplifting, jail time and we can't survive one boy.

Go Brooke yourself.

You know, someone told me once that there's nothing wrong with fairy tales, because everybody lives happily ever after.

My pen is the barrel of a gun. Remind me which side you should be on.

Luke, it was your friend. The one from the time capsule. He had the gun. But he didn't look evil, or angry- he just looked scared.

You never worked so hard for anything in your life, except your fake ID!

Yes, losing your heart`s desire is tragic. But gaining your heart's desire? That`s all you can hope for. This year I wished for love... to immerse myself in someone else and to wake a heart long afraid to feel. My wish was granted. And if having that is tragic, then give me that tragedy. Because I wouldn`t give it back for the world.

The journey lasted eight months. Sometimes I traveled alone. Sometimes there were others who took the wheel... and took my heart. But when the destination was reached, it wasn't me who'd arrived. It wasn't me at all.

OK, first off, I wanna say happy 67th birthday to Peyton Sawyer. You were pretty cool back in the day. Um... and to... Jenny Jagielski, who is... wow, um, like in her 50s now. Uh... your dad... sure loves you. Plus, he's a total fox. OK. Well, if you're young and you're watching this, uh, you guys know what you're up against, especially if you're a girl, it's... sex, right, and... and even fifty years from now, I'm guessing it's still a really big deal. You know, it's awkward... and... threatening... and thrilling. But, in a way, it's like sex is the easy part. You know, it's...giving your heart to somebody; that's the scary part. I lost my way, a little bit, this year. But.. lately it's been better. You know, um, it's pretty amazing how.. temptation can be silenced by a ray of hope. But.. when the face to that hope is a boy's face, I guess, for me, hope comes with trust issues too.

Okay, I'm ... I'm not gay, Mr. Turner! But you know what, if I was I wouldn't let other people tear me down because of it and I sure as hell wouldn't be looking for my answers in one of your pamphlets!

Can you hear my song now, Mr. Turner?

Ok, Mr. Turner, have you ever heard of Victor Jara? No? Um... he was this musician, right, and he fought injustice with his songs and when they broke his hands and when they taunted him, he just sang even louder.

Anna, it's not about who I am, okay. It's about who they are. They are people who hate, and they divide, and they feed off of people who don't fight back. Yeah I could laugh this off, but what about the girl who can't? Who's gonna help her? Silence only makes them stronger.

Huh. Well, I guess those that can't do, sell records. You insult all your customers this way?

Ok, hard image to forget. Uh, but, I meant more like, uh, I don't know; how your heart got there. Marriage is big. I don't know how you trust somebody for your whole life. I can't even date somebody with that escape hatch.

No! Because it's true. What difference does it make if you sleep with a popular guy, or you go to the right party, or you know the moves to some moronic cheer to do with some lame ass game I could care less about?

You're not even close. You're not even in the neighborhood close!

Dear diary, my daddy doesn't love me. P.S. stay out of my stuff!

You gotta grab every second you have with the people you love. Just don't forget about your hoes.

I've been trying to believe the best in people. That Nikki will back off. That Jake's lawyer would get him out.

I would give anything to have one more day with my mom and dad together.

Now why is it the garbage men always forget to pick up the white trash?

What did I get from her exactly, other than lies?

[to Lucas] I want to draw something that means something to someone. You know, I want to draw blind faith, or a fading summer, or just a moment of clarity. It's like when you go and see a really great band, live for the first time and, you know, and nobody's saying it, but everybody's thinking it, we have something to believe in again. I want to draw that feeling, but I can't. And if I can't be great at it then I don't want to ruin it. It's too important to me.

The reporters, and the psychologists, and the analysts, and the so-called experts, and they're gonna try to make sense of this. But they're not gonna be able to. And even if we do make it out of here, we're always gonna carry it with us, it's never gonna be the same.

Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will.

My best friend - okay this one is so important; choose wisely, I got really lucky with mine. My best friend is funny, intelligent, creative, beautiful, and successful, and very kind. She’s also impulsive, frustrating, um complicated, childish, but I would not have her any other way. And the best part about Brooke Davis is that she always puts friends first. So if you are ever in any kind of trouble, you know who to call. I can’t think of anyone I’d rather have watching over you.

You know I've got this theory, there are two kinds of people in the world. There are lyric people and music people. You know, the lyrics people tend to be analytical. You know, all about the meaning of the song. They're the ones you see with the CD insert out like 5 minutes after buying it, pouring over the lyrics, interpreting the hell out of everything. Um, then there's the music people, like Brooke. Who could care less for the lyrics as long as its just got like a good beat and you could dance to it. I don't know, sometimes it might be easier to be a music girl and not a lyric girl. But since I'm not, let me just say this. Sometimes things find you when you need them to find you, I believe that. And for me its usually song lyrics.

Yes, losing your heart's desire is tragic. But gaining your heart's desire? That's all you can hope for. This year I wished for love... to immerse myself in someone else and to wake a heart long afraid to feel. My wish was granted. And if having that is tragic, then give me tragedy. Because I wouldn't give it back for the world.

When you stop fighting, you stop living. So.. Find your fight. Then fight like hell 'til your battle has won.

People are going to disappoint you. I get that, I kind of expect that. But, what if you wake up one day and realize you're the disappointment?

I should be stronger than this, you know, I should and I don't want to be a person that needs help, but I... feel all alone.

Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am home again. Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am whole again. Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am young again. However far away, However long I stay. I'll always love you, I'll always love you. Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am free again. Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am clean again. I will always love you. I will always love you. I will always love you ~ Peyton

What happened to us? You know? I don't know who I am anymore. Or how I got here. I miss who I used to be. I wanna have a home again, you know? And real friends. You know, the kind of friendships we used to believe in. I miss that. And I miss you. I guess I miss all of it. Does any of that make any sense?

Life's too short. To fight. To be miserable. Don't let the bitter ones change how awesome you are.

Sometimes happiness doesn’t come from money or fame or power. Sometimes happiness comes from good friends and family.

I need to stop chasing after boys and start focusing on myself.

I guess I'm just a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside a bitch.

You said I was great. You said I could be great. You said we were destined to be together. You said it to the world, you said it to me, and I wish you never had because you did not mean any of it.

First they put away the dealers, then they put away the prostitutes, then they shooed away the bums, and 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.

Because being alone is even harder.

You have one chance, one life and what you do with it is up to you.

Is it too much to ask that a guy not be totally creepy because if it is, just let me know and I'll stop trying. I'll go ahead and I'll lower standards and hang out at the gas station on Saturday night wearing a T-shirt with a beer logo that says, 'Check out my cans!' you know?

Sometime when you care about someone a lot you just know you will make some kind of mistake and you end up losing the person you care the most about but if your lucky you might get a second chance.

Says the girl who poured drinks down my throat, and then dropped me off in my best friend's boyfriend's bed.

We're not giant pandas, you know? You can't just put us together and expect us to mate, and do me a favor, talk soft, you got a terrible voice.

Mia, most people dream of the chance to stand up to the person that's kept them down. This is yours.

Hey, Ice Queen! Stop being such a bitch to your daughter.

No, it is, when you tear her down and call her stupid. See, the truth is, you're actually worried she's smart. And that's a threat you to because when she figures out how to do the business side of this company - Goodbye, Victoria.

And why is bitch being a Brooke?

As a matter of fact, it's half-past the crazy bitch so leave me alone!

Are you not helping me move you because it brings back bad memories or because you're a lazy pile of crap?

Yeah, well not everyone gets to go on the Tree Hill death walk, so you should feel honored.

You know it's just too bad I ran out of time cause I really wanted to show you the place where I buried my prom date... kidding.

Here comes the Brookie Monster.

Yeah... it's like you touched my soul. And... a few days ago I was ready to quit again... but you saved me, with the words you wrote about me in your novel. So, if you're struggling to write the next one... you should know... that your art matters, Lucas. It's what got me here.

Marriage is big. I don't know how you trust somebody for your whole life. I can't even date somebody without an escape hatch.

Bless me Father, for I have sinned. You see lately I've been having impure thoughts about- Actually, I haven't been doing very well lately. This is the first time I've been in a church since my mom died. I think about her everyday. I just- I wonder what she would say to me right now if she could see me and see how I've been living. I wonder if she knows, on most days I fall short of being the person she wanted me to be, or I wonder if she saw me do that line of coke last week. And the thing is, I don't even know why I did it. You know, my life is pretty good... it is, but I was just searching for something to make it great... something to make it matter. So, I don't know, I guess last week when I had the chance to change that, and it was right there in front of me. I guess I was just scared to let that go. But I know it was wrong and I want my mom to know that and um, I want her to know that I am not that person... and I'm not going to be.

You know, I just can't believe what a creep he turned out to be. And I just let him waltz into my house. Like "Hey, I'm a crazy psycho, can I come in?", and I'm all like "Yeah, sure! Wanna see my bedroom?"

This is who I am. This is how I am. And 95% of the time, there isn't a moral, or a victory, or a silver lining. Take it or leave it. If you leave it, then you'll miss that other 5%. Your mistake.

Disintegration, is a great record. Wish was pretty much the end.

Oh, come on, Peyton that's what we do, OK? We have these inner conversations daily! Am I gonna look stupid? Am I pretty enough? Did Jake just want to get in my pants? Should Lucas be with me, instead of Brooke?

Whatever you say, cheerleader... whine, whine, mope, mope, always the victim! My mom died, Jake left, Ellie lied! Boo hoo.

I'm not the one who sent Ellie away. People always leave or Peyton always drives them away.

We had a snow day. Sixth grade, do you remember? It was like this whole other world just came in overnight and took ours away. Brooke, she came over and we made a snowfort... with a tunnel. And we stayed in there all day. It seemed so safe, like everything was okay. Like everything our world was about to become, maybe we could just stop it and stay little kids for one more day. But then it got cold, kinda like now. They're gonna come now. All of them. The reporters and the psychologists and the analysts. And the so-called experts. And they're gonna try and make sense of this. But they're not gonna be able to. And even if we do make it out of here, we're always gonna carry it with us. Its never gonna be the same.

Sometimes surviving is about all the living I can handle.

All the eyeliner in the world wont make you anything other than a psycho stalker bitch.

Hey if you get tired dragging that fat ass of yours there is a water fountain down the hall.

At least you're a dedicated bitch.

Imagine if that guitar could talk, the stories it would tell.

Yeah you know it's like, like with Distintegration I remember the very first time I heard that record, you know like- I remember everything about that day. The weather outside & the smell in the air... I remember all those things... & that's because that day, I... fell in love with something.

Are you not helping me move you because it brings back bad memories or because you're a lazy pile of crap?

You know it's just too bad I ran out of time cause I really wanted to show you the place where I buried my prom date... kidding.

I wanted to discover and sign bands that could change someone’s life. Like the bands changed mine.

Okay, you might not be rich, but you are still Brooke Davis, the most popular, least studious girl in school.

Boys won’t care about the “poor” part as long as you tell them about the “horny” part.

We both know sex is never just sex.

One Tree Hill: Haley James

Macaroni and cheese is the food of the gods.

Sometimes people write the things they can't say.

Nathan, couples don't get married in high school. Its just, it's not normal.

I gave you my heart. That's all that I can give. And if that's not enough for you, then I'm not enough for you.

Nathan, it's hard enough for me to compete with all the girls at school. What, now I have to be a porn star?

They haven't invented words for how much I love you.

No, actually it's the 'my best friend is an idiot' issue and there you are!

I believe in true love. I believe in love at first sight. I believe love conquers all. And that doesn't mean there's not gonna be hard days or difficult things to deal with, because there will be. But finding that person who does it for you and knowing that person loves you back it just makes everything so much easier. "Peyton Sawyer will become Peyton Scott." That was the dream. And here we are 10 years later and we all get to witness today a dream come true.

Because this is a literature class. When archaeologists uncover lost civilizations and they unearth their worlds that have long been since been destroyed, you know what they find most often? They find stories, ancient languages, words, inscriptions from people who have been gone for thousand of years, because chances are, like you, they wanted to know, "Whats the point?" And they wanted us to know that they were here, you know? Like they told their stories, and they tried to make sense of their lives and their worlds and their tragedies. So that's what we are gonna do. So I want you to write something, anything at all, about Quentin Fields. If you knew him, write a favorite memory. If you didn't know him, write what you think the point is of all this for yourself and your life and your time here. This is a literature class and that's what writers do. We put pen to paper in times of devastating tragedy. And we try and make sense of it. Maybe we will find some clarity in some of those words. Maybe we will find peace.

You know what? Um... you guys asked me what the point was to all of this, school, literature... life. And, uh I said there was no point. And that's not true. What I should have said was, "I don't know". Because the truth is, not long ago, I sat where you are and wondered exactly the same things. When something that's tragic and evil and unexplainable happens, like losing someone forever... I still wonder, just like you do. Alright, everybody, get out a piece of paper and pen.

You know that romantic notion that all the garbage and the pain is really healing and beautiful and sort of poetic? It's not. It's just garbage and it's pain. You know what's better? Love. The day that you start thinking that love is overrated is the day that you're wrong. The only thing wrong with love and faith and belief is not having it.

Yeah, like you know maybe tonight we don't have to be married and pregnant. We can just be teenagers.

Oh, but we're not alone in my bedroom. We have the forefathers with us.

You know I keep... I keep putting myself out there and you keep blowing it and it's probably a good thing because at this point there is nothing that you can say or do that's gonna surprise me.

You should buy 'em in bulk if you're gonna hand apologies out that often.

You know, for an hour you almost got me to believe that you're not a son of a bitch but, God, you fooled me again.

Yeah, this is my house. Um... we're staying here while we renovate the mansion.

The last time I was trapped in the school was the shooting. You know why Lindsay and I got so close? She was editing Lucas' book, and I still wasn't sure about her, 'cause I was rooting for Lucas to be with my friend Peyton, or maybe even Brooke. Anyway, she was working on the chapter about the shooting, and she said to me "I want this to be Lucas's best writing. The best he has in him, because Peyton deserves it. Jimmy and Keith deserve it, and that day deserves it." We've been friends ever since.

I think I'm realizing that I can't help everybody, and still somehow feel responsible. I don't know why I keep trying.

Are you going to say anything or are you just gonna sit there like you have for the past four months? You gonna get drunk, maybe pout, a little cry?

The rest of your life is a long time and whether you know it or not it's being shaped right now. You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate or bad luck or bad choices or you can fight back. Things aren't always going to be fair in the real world, that's just the way it is but for the most part you get what you give. Let me ask you all a question. What's worse: not getting everything you wished for or getting it but finding out it's not enough? The rest of your life is being shaped right now with the dreams you chase, the choices you make and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time and the rest of your life starts right now.

My best friend recently reminded me of a quote, by William Shakespeare,that seems appropriate. "There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound up in sorrows and in miseries. On such a full sea, are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves or lose our ventures." I think that what that quote means is that life is short and, opportunities are rare, and we have to be vigilant in protecting them. And, not only the opportunities to succeed but, the opportunity to laugh, to see the enchantment in the world, and...to live, because life doesn't owe us anything. As a matter of fact, I think we owe something to the world. And, if we can just believe.. I'm sorry, I have more, I just, think I'm having my baby.

Honey, YOU'RE lucky that I'm pregnant!! I think its time you get your insecure, cheating, skank ass out of this house RIGHT NOW!

Don't play dumb ass with me girlie you stole those test, and I wanna know how you did it. Did you steal my keys while I was in the hospital. Yeah I bet you did, didn't you. You know I could have spent my time tutoring someone that actually needed it, but now I'm not gonna have that opportunity again thanks to you.

Your "Thank You's" send people to the free clinic.

Why is it that it's so much easier to forgive a stranger than someone you love?

Okay I'll go first. Hi my name's Rachel and I'm a dumb ass who's failing calculus and really likes to hit on married guys.

If you're looking for a black eye, it's in my fist.

Please, your thank you's send people to the free clinic.

Don't say I never gave you anything.

It is not possible to be this in love ...

But God help you if you don't change.

What'd you say to Hooter girl when she made her topless debut?

OK. You know the moment that I left the tour?...We were playing this club in Illinois... and Chris decides to do a cover of an eighties song called, um, 'Missing You'... and everybody starts singing along, the crowds loving it and they turn the house lights up pause and I could see every face out there... and I... fell apart. On stage, in front of three thousand people; I lost it. I couldn't sing, I couldn't hear the music. Nothing. Because... that was the moment that I knew... that none of it could ever be enough without you. All of the celebrity and all of the applause and all the pretty melodies... couldn't fill your void in my heart. So... yeah, I guess you're right; it's not the life I would've had... 'cuz ever since I met you, it has been so much more.

Never expected the cheerleading squad to have more drama than the drama club.

Yeah, if okay's, like, heels that are killing me and underwear that's digging into my ribcage and I'm about five minutes from going home and binging on cookie dough.

I'm usually one of those people who likes the fist day of school. You know, new pens; new book; new backpack.

Nathan, there wasn't a moment that my heart wasn't in Tree Hill.

This year I got everything I wanted and everything I wished for. But in a way, I lost even more.

The big deal is that, first of all, you did not thank me for helping you with the CDs, second of all, you had sex in my bed, and third, you ate all the brownies.

Well you know I said tonight was educational. Well, Honey, you're gonna love the homework.

Alright. I'm off. All the important numbers are by the phone... police, fire, pimps.

Yeah, but if you keep yelling, the freaking zombies are gonna get us.

If your tongue comes anywhere near my mouth, I'm just never speaking to you again, though.

Let's find out. Knowledge is power.

I think you're really brave to reconsider building who you are. I don't know if I could do that.

If my parents come home, I'm going to act like I have amnesia, so don't freak out if I pretend not to know you.

So ... support me! When I'm tutoring someone, and they get it, and that light goes on, I feel good! I feel worthy. The same way that you feel when you play basketball. Besides, having things gotten better for you? The team's left you alone, the hazings stopped? Yeah. So, that's worth the risk for me. What's not worth the risk is us. We're friends, and that is important to me.

She doesn't want to go. She doesn't want to see her high school sweetheart slash your brother Dan slash the jerk who abandoned Lucas slash the father of Nathan, the team's star player slash my wrists if I hear this story again. Let's go.

My mom sat me down a long time ago and asked me if I was more afraid of getting Herpes or pregnant.

I said "I haven't even kissed a boy, I'm only seven"

Just promise me this time, you'll be here when I get back.

Yeah, at least now the whole world knows all the nice things you said about me to go along all the crappy things Nathan said about me.

Loving it again, of you seeing me love it again. I just, I'm afraid your going to think that it somehow means that I love you less.

You should have told me that having sex turns you into an ass.

Your future as a basketball player is totally secure, your future as my husband, not so much.

Nathan, it's been said that there's one word that will free us from the weight and the pain of life, and that word is love, and I believe that. That doesn't mean that it hasn't been hard, or that it won't be. It just means that, I found a stillness and bravery in myself with you. You make me brave, and I will love you until the end of time. This I vow today.

You ruined everything. You caused a huge scene at the reception. You stole the limo. And now everybody's life is worse because of you. Doesn't it even matter to you, a little bit? Are you going to change a single thing because of it? Nathan doesn't need your thanks and neither do I. So why don't you stay the hell away from us. All of us!

I need you on this planet. You are not invincible.

For all I care you can go to hell but you cannot take Nathan with you.

Who are you kidding Deb? Junkies don't save pills.

What? What is this? The number of men who fathered your baby?

Pot! I have to go throw up.

Now they said they represent the lollipop guild. Do you think that’s a trade union and if it is, why did they unionize it? Did they need shorter hours or longer sticks or different flavors? Look at their little suits, it crack me up.

It’s your turn to be the girl that gets the baby and the boy.

He is the healthiest looking dying man I have ever seen.

Do you think there’s such a thing as a sugar hangover?

When archaeologists uncover lost civilizations and they unearth these worlds that have long since been destroyed, you know what they find most often? They find stories: ancient languages, words, inscriptions from people who have been gone for thousands of years. Because chances are they, like you, they wanted to know, what's the point? And they wanted us to know that they were here, you know? They told their stories and they tried to make sense out of their lives and their worlds and their tragedies. So that's what we're gonna do. I want you to write something - anything at all - about Quentin Fields. If you knew him, write a favorite memory. If you didn't know him, write what you think the point is of all this for yourself and your life and your time here. This is a literature class, and that's what writers do. We put pen to paper in times of devastating tragedy, we just try to make sense of it. Maybe we'll find clarity in some of those words. Maybe we'll find peace.

Don't wait. Life’s too short to play games. If you love someone and want to be with them then go get them. Deal with the mess later. You don't know what tomorrow will bring.

The next time you want to lie to me about something, you should make sure your mom is in on it.
