1.01 || Pilot:
Lucas: (voiceover) There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune but omitted, and the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and mesires. On such a full sea are we now afloat and we must take the current when it serves or lose the ventures before us.
Lucas: You ever have something that you knew that you were better at than... almost anybody else?
Peyton: Sex. (pauses) Joke.
Peyton: So, what did you bet?
Lucas: I win, Nathan stays on the team.
Peyton: Why?
Lucas: Because it's the last thing he wants. And anyway, it's not about him.
Dan: I'm only thinking of the kid.
Karen: You have no right to think of him - not today or any other day of his life. How dare you.
Dan: Are you finished?
Karen: I haven't even started!
Lucas: Can I ask you a question?
Peyton: It's a free country...
Lucas: Why are you a cheerleader? I mean, no offense or anything, but you're about the least cheery person I know. ... Come on, let me give you a ride. I'll let you insult me.
Peyton: First of all, you don't know me. Second of all, you don't know me. God, why are guys such jerks?
Dan: Nathan. Remember, 20 shots, no less.
Nathan: Got it, Dad.
Coach Durham: Quit yakking and warm up.
Lucas: Did you change your hair?
Karen: If by "change," you mean "drag a brush through it," then yeah.
Dan: You're despicable, you know that? Letting the dreams of this team just vanish. You're full of crap.
Coach Durham: It comes with old age, Danny: constipation.
Dan: Yeah. And this bet tonight. Is that a joke, too? Or would you really quit the team? You have everything to lose here and nothing to gain.
Nathan: Sometimes what you call "everything," I call "nothing."
Karen: 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?
Lucas: Anyway. Guys kept teasing me about it, about how Nathan's dad was my dad, too. So I asked my mom, and she said he wasn't. But I'd get home, and I hear her crying in her room. I knew it was true. So I never went back. I told my mom it was because I didn't want to have to see his face. But, it was mostly because I didn't want her to have to.
Peyton: So why'd you tell me that? I mean, we don't even know each other.
Lucas: Maybe that's the point.
Lucas: What makes it less of a game if people don't see it?
Keith: 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.
Lucas: What do you want?
Nathan: What do I want? What do you want, man? I mean, other than my girlfriend and my spot in the lineup, huh? None of us want you on the team, man. I don't want you. The guys don't want you. My girlfriend sure as hell doesn't want you. But here's the deal. You and me, one on one. You can name the time and place. If you win, I'll quit the team. If I win, you crawl back in your little hole and you remember your place in all this. Time and place, baby. Time and place.
Nathan: ... and i'll see you tomorrow.
Peyton: How about you don't see me tomorrow?
Haley: Oh, the magazine pages are sticking again, you little pervert. Oh hey Luke. You've been reading this?
Lucas: I don't know, Haley. Is that the 'why do i hang out with these people?' issue, because you're on the cover of that, right?
Haley: No, actually it's the 'my best friend is an idiot' issue and there you are!
Lucas: No foul, basket counts. Besides, you won't score again.
1.02 || The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most
Lucas: (voiceover) Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours.
Whitey: What are you doing? Putting on your makeup? Get into the gym and start warming up. Jagielski, when you find the pumps to match your skirt, you might get into the gym, too.
Lucas: (to Peyton) Your art matters. That's what got me here.
Mouth: Be nice, be nice, put it in there. There you go.
Whitey: You're gonna be okay.
Lucas: Yeah, I am.
Haley: She doesn't want to go. She doesn't wanna 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 the story again. Let's go.
Lucas: I didn't want to be like him and I was afraid that I'd become him if I played. In the gym, I felt like he had a piece of me. I never felt like that on the playground.
Karen: Well, I'd say he's taken enough from us. I took the night off to watch my son play again. The way that he used to when he loved the game more than anything.
Keith: It's the rule of the life - the prettier the girl - the messier car; kind of a turn on.
Peyton: Unbelievable!
Nathan: What? Peyton, did you see how bad he sucked tonight?
Peyton: So?
Nathan: He was horrible! I've never seen a guy play so bad
Peyton: And you enjoyed that?
Nathan: Hell yeah. Didn't you? What is this, Peyton? You like this guy or something?
Peyton: You mean more than my boyfriend who I'm trying to make out with right now?
Nathan: Well, put some ice on it. You ever think I might want to talk?
Peyton: No, you don't. You want to celebrate a public humuliation. And I'm sorry. That's a little played out.
Nathan: Oh, and being with you isn't?
Whitey: There's no shame in being afraid. Hell, we're all afraid. What you gotta do is figure out what you're afraid of because when you put a face on it, you can beat it. Better yet, you can use it.
Nathan: You've got some ugly toes, girl.
Peyton: No, I don't.
Nathan: Yeah, you do. They're practically like fingers.
Peyton: Well, then just focus on the middle one.
Peyton: Dear diary, my daddy doesn't love me. P.S. stay out of my stuff!
Peyton: Do you wanna come in?
Lucas: What about Nathan?
Peyton: What about him? What are you doing?
Lucas: You just said ...
Peyton: I didn't invite you to come in. I just asked you if you want to. Thanks for the ride.
Nathan: I can describe Lucas in one word... bastard.
Karen: It's hard to fight the things we are afraid of. Sometimes we just need a little help.
Nathan: [to Lucas] You want my world? You got it.
1.03 || Are You True?
Haley: Do you see this book? Because this book is me. I am math.
Nathan: What's that supposed to mean?
Haley: It's supposed to mean that you can work your whole "I'm Nathan Scott, Mr. Big Shot, scoring my touchdowns" on somebody else, because -
Nathan: I don't even play football.
Haley: Whatever. The point is, at the end of the day all your bluster and BS don't mean anything to math because math don't care, and neither do I.
Nathan: Well, does English care? 'Cause I really suck at that, too.
Haley: Please don't waste my time. I'm already taking a huge chance on you because my instincts are screaming that you're full of sh... Let's just get started, okay?
Nathan:You're Haley James, right?
Haley: I'm sorry. I'm best friends with Lucas.
Nathan: Well, then I'm sorry too.
Haley: Forget it, I'll find you someone else.
Nathan: Look, there is no one else. All right? I'd be fine with it if there was.
Haley: If there were.
Nathan: See, you're helping me already.
Haley: Look, I can't help you. And on top of that, I won't help you. Okay?
Nathan: Hey!
Haley: Can I help you?
Nathan: I hope so. You're my tutor.
Haley: Right, I don't think so.
Editor: Interesting, where have you studied?
Peyton: Um, mostly in my bedroom. Is that bad?
Lucas: (voiceover) E.E. Cummings once wrote; To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle, which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.
Karen: Haley comes from a big family. When Lucas met her, I think they were eight or nine. But she saw it was just me and Lucas, and she said, "Yeah, I come from a big family. I think you guys need me more."
Lucas: (throws can of spray paint at Nathan) You left that at the court.
Nathan: I don't know what you're talking about.
Lucas: Title in the gym 'cause I'm taking it.
Nathan: Look, you guys are the ones I feel sorry for. Me? I'm going to get my minutes. But you guys have been busting your tails since the junior leagues. Now you finally get your shot and Whitey gives the starting spot to this guy? It's not right. If you ask me, he shouldn't even be on the team.
Tim: So then, what are we going to do?
Nathan: We're gonna make him earn it. At least make him suffer like we did.
Karen Roe: You know, Sheri, I came down here wanting to give you the benefit of the doubt, but clearly you're still the same petty little bitch you were in high school.
Whitey: I was just getting used to low-waist jeans. Let's go, ball boy!
Nathan: Hey! I just wanted to let you know that I'm gonna be fine.
Haley: Good.
Nathan: I mean, F is for fine, right?
Nathan: Well, well. The gang's all here. I told you it was gonna get worse. Now, see, normally this is when you become part of the team. We'd have a keg, tell some war stories but you had to know that wasn't going to happen, right? Look, these guys made a choice to back me. But we're going to be nice, and we're going to let you walk away. Just quit the team, man. Otherwise, it's going to get ugly.
Nathan: Hey, who's that girl he's always hanging out with?
Tim: Who knows... Why? You feel like slumming?
Jake: Fear changes everything.
Dan: Happiness doesn't come cheap. Hell, if it did, we would all be smiling.
Whitey: Oh, well, by the way there's a half naked girl at the back seat of your car. I just thought you'd like to know that.
Lucas: Oh, I think you got the wrong car.
Brooke: Nah. Don't mind me. I just have to get out of this uniform. So, uh, anyways, I'm Brooke. But you probably knew that. Can I tell you that that last shot was awesome? How'd it feel? Good, huh? You know it did.
1.04 || Crash Into You
Peyton: It's not about the car. It's about you. I finally saw you clearly for the first time last night. The way you treated me, the way you treated Tim, the way you treated your brother.
Nathan: Don't call him that.
Peyton: And the way you're playing that girl.
Nathan: What? Are you talking about Haley? Is that what this is about? Peyton, she means nothing.
Peyton: Okay, if that's the case, then you're an ass. And even if she does mean something, you're still an ass, and what's really sad, Nathan, is that you're too stupid to get that. So thank you for being such an amazing son of a bitch last night. You really made this a no-brainer.
Nathan: I'll call you when you're not so PMS.
Haley: Yeah, this is my house. Um... we're staying here while we renovate the mansion.
Nathan: It's not like I was trying to show off.
Haley: Wasn't that your default setting? Sorry.
Peyton: How's the tutoring going? You're tutoring Nathan, right? It's ok. He tells me everything.
Haley: Yeah, he said he needed some help.
Peyton: Maybe you could teach him to stop being such a jackass.
Haley: I will put that on the lesson plan.
Peyton: Just be careful, ok?
Haley: Yeah, sure.
Peyton: Does Lucas know you're helping Nathan? (Haley looks at her in disgust.) You know, you say a lot when you keep your mouth shut. It's okay. I'll keep mine shut, too.
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?
Peyton: He really slammed you.
Lucas: I don't care what he thinks.
Peyton: Neither do I.
Lucas: Oh yeah? Then why are you drinking?
Haley: I'm really fine.
Nathan: Little high on yourself, aren't you? Going around saying you're all fine?
1.05 || All That You Can't Leave Behind
Deb: You know, there is a chance that Lucas and Nathan could get along if their father encouraged it.
Dan: True. But there's also a chance that hell could freeze over.
Lucas: (voiceover) John Steinbeck once wrote "It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live for our death brings no pleasure on the world."
Lucas: So to hell with him. I don't want his name.
Karen: Keith's a Scott too, you know.
Karen: When I found out I was pregnant, Dan already had a basketball scholarship, and nothing was going to get in the way of that. But then something strange happened. Right before classes started, Dan changed his mind. He said he'd finish the semester and...we'd get married. So when I went into labor and you appeared, the nurse asked for your name, and I said it was Scott. Keith was there, and when the nurse brought you in, she let him hold you. I've known Keith my whole life, and that's the only time I've seen him cry. Your father never showed up.
Haley: 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.
Keith: 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.
Dan: Okay, Keith.
Keith: 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.
Lucas: I saw you with him.
Haley: Who, Nathan? God, he got a good grade on that math quiz. It was nothing.
Lucas: I want to believe you, Haley. I do. But I don't think you're telling the truth.
Haley: I am telling the truth, Lucas. There's nothing going on.( Lucas sees her bracelet that Nathan gave her)
Lucas: Nice bracelet.
Haley: Still in denial?
Nathan: About what?
Haley: Missing her. It's okay that you do.
Nathan: What, are you my tutor or my shrink?
Haley: Whatever you need.
Brooke: Hey cutie! I saw your picture in the paper. Personally, I didn't think it did you justice.
Lucas: No?
Brooke: No. Far too much clothing.
Lucas: I'm an idiot.
Haley: I know.
Nathan: You know, me and Peyton broke up.
Haley: Peyton and I.
Nathan: What, she broke up with you, too? I just, I didn't know she was gonna take it this hard. She went off on Brooke at practice. I'm kinda worried about her.
Haley: Well, maybe you should have worried more about her when you were together. I'm sorry, but come on, it's true.
Nathan: No, you don't know the first thing about Peyton and I.
Haley: Me and Peyton.
Nathan: Whatever.
Peyton: What's wrong is how pointless all of this is!
Brooke: Stop saying that!
Peyton: 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?
Peyton: You're not even close. You're not even in the neighborhood close!
1.06 || Every Night Is Another Story
Brooke: That's perfect. Brooke can come with us!
Haley: Yeah, she named me Brooke.
Brooke: Peyton, can she come? Please? Peyton, please!
Peyton: Just don't touch the stereo. Or we'll have a problem.
Brooke: Road trip!
Brooke: We should totally hang out together. What is your name?
Haley: Haley.
Brooke: Yeah. I don't like that name. Let's call you ... Brooke!
Brooke: This really hurts. Do you think you could, you know, give me something for the pain?
College guy: I shouldn't but - here you go.
Brooke: Just one?
College guy: Okay.
College guy: Now, those are really strong, so I guess, take half at a time.
Brooke: Whoops! All gone!
Lucas: (to Peyton) Hey. So I saw Nathan in the shower. Yeah, no wonder you broke up with him.
Brooke: 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...
Brooke: Did you see that?
Peyton: What?
Brooke: Nathan just gave her the nod.
Peyton: What nod?
Brooke: The "lets hook up after the game" nod.
Brooke: Where the hell are we?
Haley: Miles from normal.
Karen: Okay, what does this dress say to you?
Lucas: Uh ... beware of crazy ladies who talk to dresses?
Lucas: (voiceover) As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment. Then gradually time awakened again and moved sluggishly on.
Karen: Lucas called tonight a date for us. And for a while, I pretended that it was. And it felt good.
Keith: Can I tell you a secret?
Karen: Sure. Go ahead.
Keith: I pretended that too.
Karen: (smiles)
Keith: I love you. Always have.
Nathan: I remember this one summer, I was playing little league baseball, and I was the pitcher, and my dad was the coach. Anyway, this kid, Billy Lyons, he was a great hitter. Everything he hit was a homerun. So, you know, he got up to the plate and there was nobody on base, so I just walked him. Four straight pitches, nothing even close to a strike. So my dad calls a timeout, comes to the mound, and I'm thinking he's gonna say like, smart move or good thinking son, something like that. But instead... instead he grabs me by the arm, and he kicks me in the ass as hard as he can. I mean, he literally took me by the arm so that I wouldn't like, go flying, he kicked me so hard. Then he brought Stevie Planking in to pitch, sat me on the bench, never mentioned it again.
Lucas: That sucks.
Nathan: Yeah. So just think about that the next time you're feeling sorry for yourself.
Keith: Oh, what do you know? We finally got the center aisle this year. Guy must've thought I said Dan Scott.
Karen: No. Dan's table has one spot for Dan and five for his ego.
Thing: Okay, the game isn't called two punks staring at each other. It's called Gladiator. Get to it.
Lucas: Alright, you can screw yourself. Because there's no way in hell that the two of us are going to fight. (Nathan tackles Lucas) Or maybe we are.
Lucas: So this Haley thing... you know, for some reason, she feels like you're not full of crap. Don't take advantage of that.
Nathan: I'm not going to.
Lucas:I know you're not. Because if you do, you're going to live to regret it.
Nathan: Bring it on. Hey, listen. Look, man, you didn't have to get in that car when those guys grabbed me. Especially after you warned me not to.
Lucas: Right, whatever. You know the way I see it, I mean, if they would've taken you out, who the hell else am I gonna have to fight with, right?
Nathan: Same person I have.
1.07 || Life In A Glass House
Brooke: We have a hot tub.
Lucas: Brooke, I ...
Brooke: We have a naked me in the hot tub.
Lucas: What if I told you there was someone else?
Brooke: Well, then normally I'd suggest a threesome.
Deb: She's young enough to be your daughter. And in this town, she might just be.
Dan: Ouch!
Deb: Sorry, couldn't resist.
Nathan: Why is the coach so easy with you, Jagielski?
Jake: We party together.
Tim: Maybe they're lovers.
Nathan: Why? Did you two break up?
1.08 || The Search For Something More
Lucas: So why'd you call me, anyway? Why not Nathan or one of the guys?
Brooke: Because I knew you'd come through.
Brooke: We're young. We're fine. Let's do some damage.
Lucas: A guy drugged Peyton's drink at a party. Brooke called me for help. I took her home, waited until she felt better. Truth.
Karen: As excuses go, that's pretty solid. Is she okay?
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.
Brooke: What's your idea of your perfect date?
Haley: Watching you get hit by a bus.
Brooke: And a sense of humor. Nathan's really lucky.
Haley: 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.
Nathan: (kisses her)
Haley: Except that. You shouldn't have done that, Nathan.
Nathan: But I wanted to.
Haley: Yeah.
Haley: Trying to wake up my parents? That's their room...
Nathan: Wait, Haley, look, I need to apologize, okay?
Haley: You should buy 'em in bulk if you're gonna hand apologies out that often.
Nathan: Look will you just... I don't know how to do this all right...? I'm... I'm not like you
Haley: What does that mean?
Nathan: All right, I screw up a lot, all right... and being around you, I just... I don't wanna be that guy any more.
Haley: Well, who do you wanna be, Nathan?
Nathan: I wanna be somebody who's good enough to be seen with you.
Tim: Hey Nathan, what's up man?
Nathan: Hey guys, you know Haley. She's my tutor...
Tim: This looks a lot like a date to me.
Nathan: No man, definitely not.
Tim: (leaving) All right, see you later.
Nathan: I'm sorry about that.
Haley: Are you embarrassed to be seen with me? And why are you only nice to me when we're alone?
Nathan: It's just...
Haley: 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.
Nathan: So you couldn't have ordered a lobster?
Haley: Dude, macaroni and cheese is food of the Gods.
Nathan: Yeah, if the Gods are five-year-olds.
Karen: You remember when you said the other night that I had good instincts and that I should trust them?
Keith: Yeah.
Karen: (kisses Keith) You were right.
1.09 || With Arms Outstretched
Lucas: (voiceover) What a frightening thing the human is, a mass of gauges and dials and registers, and we can read only a few and those perhaps not accurately.
Nathan: (to Haley) When I fell to the floor tonight, I was so scared, I was so terrified. Then I saw you, and I promised myself that if I could just get up, I'd walk over to you... I'd tell you how much I need you and how much I want you... and how nothing else matters.
Nathan: A month ago, did you think we'd be alone in your bedroom?
Haley: Oh, but we're not alone in my bedroom. We have the forefathers with us.
Nathan: They can watch.
Haley: Nathan, can you just get serious for a minute?
Nathan: Oh, I'm serious. Come here. (they kiss)
Deb: (to Dan) Pack a bag and get out or so help me God, I will stab you in your sleep.
1.10 || You Gotta Go There To Come Back
Tim: This sucks!
Jake: Speak for yourself. Whitey just did me a favor.
Nathan: Yeah, me too.
Whitey: Nice to see you, vertical. How ya feeling?
Nathan: Same as always. What's this all about?
Whitey: Seems to me we've lost track about what this game is suppose to be about, myself included. Now I want you to take this time and think about why we're really out there. 'Til then no practice.
Nathan: Look, I think I should get back to the madness, but, hey, if I could, I'd stay like this all day.
Haley: Ok. Nathan, about last night ...
Nathan: Hey, it's not about sex with me, alright? When you're ready, I'll be ready, too.
Haley: [to Nathan] 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.
Haley: Look, I've seen Peyton really try to make an effort to turn things around. It just sucks she got bit the first time she reached out to somebody, you know?
Lucas: Haley, I'm not the bad guy here, okay? Peyton's just too... hard.
Haley: Unlike Brooke, who I understand, is nice and easy.
Lucas: Excuse me. She makes me laugh. She's honest. She's not afraid to be herself. Plus, she's not covered head to toe in issues.
Lucas: It's not that hard. Peyton and I just don't make sense as a couple. She said so herself.
Haley: And then took it back!
Lucas: What are you, her lawyer?
1.11 || The Living Years
Peyton: Look, don't underestimate Brooke. She's full of surprises. That's part of her charm.
Lucas: She told me to listen to tracks 8 and 13. Well, there are only 12 songs.
Peyton: Honest mistake.
Lucas: I'm sorry about this morning with your dad. I had no idea he was there.
Peyton: It's because he usually isn't.
Lucas: I thought you were happy with your setup?
Peyton: That's what I tell him. I make up stuff in the emails. I send him about how happy I am on my own and how responsible I'm being even when I'm not. He loves his job, you know, and after my mom died, it's just not fair to ask him to give that up, but I miss him when he's away.
Lucas: You tell him that?
Peyton: He worries. It's just better not to.
Lucas: I thought you might want that back.
Peyton: I already have it.
Lucas: So do I. Tracks 8 and 11, totally you, so what are you doing? Some sort of Cyrano thing for Brooke?
Peyton: Why would I do that?
Lucas: Why? I asked you first.
Lucas: Hey.
Brook: I got you something.
Lucas: Hmm, but I don't have anything for you.
Brooke: And yet you do. Couple songs on there made me think of you. Of course most things do.
Lucas: I didn't know you were into Travis.
Brooke: Are you kidding? I love Travis. He's the best.
Lucas: Who?
Brooke: That Travis guy... are we not in the same conversation? (school bell rings.) Umm, check out tracks 8 and 13. (Kisses Lucas) Bye!
Brooke: All work and no Brooke makes Luke a boring boy.
Nathan: These past couple weeks without it ... I mean if I didn't play, I might actually have a life.
Haley: What would you do?
Nathan: I don't know. At least I have some time to figure it out. Besides, I'm sure we can find other things to do with our time.
Haley: Like?
Nathan: (kisses Haley)
Haley: I think you're really brave to reconsider building who you are. I don't know if I could do that.
Nathan: You could if you tried. Look, I gotta go.
Haley: Oh, yeah. Hey, umm, basketball practice starts up again today right?
Nathan: Yeah, I'm just not sure if I do. I'll see ya.
Haley: Did you finish 'The Little Prince'?
Nathan: No, I just rented the movie. This book is stupid.
Haley: Nathan, you're not going to pass French if you keep renting movies.
Nathan: Its not like I have a lot of time to read.
Haley: So, are you ever going to tell me how it went?
Nathan: The therapist asked me if I liked playing basketball.
Haley: Wow, what did you say?
Nathan: I didn't know what to say. No one has ever asked me that question.
Lucas: You're sure your parents won't come home?
Brooke: They could, but this isn't their jacuzzi.
Lucas: Brooke, whose house is this?
Brooke: I don't know. Does it matter?
1.12 || A Crash Course In Polite Conversation
Lucas: You warm enough?
Peyton: I'm okay. I should probably get the heater fixed in here, huh?
Lucas: You know, I could have Keith take a look at it for ya. He's really good at that stuff. Do you want me to stop and get some coffee?
Peyton: I'm fine, thanks. Thanks for doing this for me, Luke.
Lucas: That's what friends are for, right?
Peyton: Yeah.
Nathan: You should come tonight. Maybe you'll make everyone behave.
Haley: I'll come if you want me to.
Nathan: No, I wasn't serious. I wouldn't put you through that.
Haley: No, I mean, if you're asking, of course, my answer is yes.
Nathan: Well, then, I'm asking.
Haley: Well, then, I'm coming.
Haley: So this, uh, dinner is going to be pretty bad, huh?
Nathan: Yeah, a massacre. My grandma's okay. It's just my grandpa's pretty intense. You've met my dad. Just imagine where he comes from.
Haley: Scary.
Lucas: Peyton... I...
Peyton: Don't! It was stupid, ok? You're with Brooke now.
Lucas: Yeah.
Peyton: We just... we got carried away. It didn't mean anything.
Lucas: It didn't?
Peyton: Of course it did.
1.13 || Hanging By A Moment
Haley: I can't do this.
Nathan: Yes, you can like this. Alright, square your shoulders to the basket. Bring the ball up right past your nose like this, okay? Bend your knees a little, just relax your hips, and just shoot. Okay, that wasn't perfect, but it also wasn't embarrassing. It was actually kind of sexy.
Nathan: You realize I've seen you in that crochete thing you wear, right?
Haley: Come on, this is embarrassing. I want you to think I'm not embarrassing.
Nathan: You don't embarrass me, Haley.
Haley: Oh, yeah, ok.
Nathan: Ok, I take that back.
Nathan: Was that your jump shot? Because if that was your jump shot, I can't date you anymore. My mom said you would be here, something about a grade?
Haley: Yeah, you cannot be here right now.
Nathan: Why not?
Haley: Because I look stupid.
Peyton: Even if we could be together, what makes you think it would work?
Lucas: 'Cause I feel it in my heart, don't you?
Peyton: Yes, so what are we going to do?
Peyton: That's where we're at right now. It's not fair to her to make a big deal out of what happened. It didn't mean anything. I'm sorry.
Lucas: Peyton....(kisses her) See, it does mean something.
Peyton: It can't.
Lucas: But it does.
Peyton: Lucas, you're dating Brooke.
Lucas: I know, and she's great, okay, but she's not you. Look, ever since you came to my room and told me how you felt about me, I've been hiding with Brooke. Okay, I've been trying not to get hurt again. I don't wanna hide anymore.
Lucas: Hey, Peyton.
Peyton: Oh, hey, Brooke had to take off early, so she's expecting you to call her.
Lucas: Okay, you gotta a sec?
Peyton: Umm, yeah, what's up?
Lucas: I lied, okay? I can't bury what happened between us.
Peyton: Lucas, Brooke is my best friend and she's your girlfriend.
Lucas: Peyton, so how's everything with your dad?
Peyton: Good, thanks.
Lucas: Yeah, and uhh, how about us?
Peyton: That moment where we kissed right? I've been feeling guilty about it all weekend.
Lucas: Me, too.
Peyton: Listen, let's just bury it and pretend it never happened. Okay?
Lucas: Sure.
Brooke: People that are meant to be together always find their ways in the end.
1.14 || I Shall Believe
Lucas: Hey, buddy, I missed you.
Haley: Nathan, I'm not in the mood right now.
Nathan: Lucas is awake. I was there when he opened his eyes. I went to see him.
Haley: Why?
Nathan: Because I knew you couldn't. I wanted him to know that you were thinking about him. Look, I know it was wrong to go after you for the reasons I did. I can't apologize for that, but I'm glad I did, but I'm not that person anymore because of you. Let me take you to him.
Luke: (wakes up in hospital) Water ... What are you doing here?
Nathan: It's a long story. Let me get your mom.
Nathan: (talking to Luke, lying in hospital unconscious.) Hey, man. I came here to talk to you. So, I'm here because, uhh, everything is screwed up. Look, I know you don't trust me with Haley, but I like her a lot, you know. She's hurting a lot now, too. She needs you to open your eyes, man. She feels like she can't be forgiven, and I'm sort of in the same place. This accident, it might not turn out so bad, ya know. You can take a break from the game and people's expectations. I wish I had that chance. It might be hard to believe, but maybe you're the lucky one. You can get out.
Karen: I've been expecting Haley to come on by.
Peyton: Her and Lucas got in some kind of an argument, and she's been beating herself up over it.
Karen: They'll patch it up. Best friends can forgive each other over anything.
Karen: You don't have to go. He's allowed visitors.
Peyton: Okay. I'm Peyton.
Karen: I know. Lucas has talked about you. It's nice that people want to do something, but that's the last thing I want to think about is food.
Peyton: Yeah, but you'll be glad you had it in a couple of days. I swear the cooks in this hospital gets a bonus for making people sick.
Karen:Sounds like you spent some time here.
Peyton: Yeah, when my mom died.
Karen: I'm sorry. How'd she die?
Peyton: A car accident.
Karen: You're a good friend to visit.
Peyton: (to Luke, lying in hospital unconscious) Hey, it's me. Can you hear me? Squeeze my hand if you can hear me, okay? Never mind. Umm, I just came by to tell you that I'm probably not going to be around here much with Brooke here. It's just kind of weird, but I'm with you, Lucas. You know that, and I'll wait forever if I have to. (Karen walks in) Oh, I'm sorry. Nobody was here.
Haley: Peyton, what if..what if I can't take it back? What if he doesn't forgive me?
Peyton: He will, but you just need to see him. I tell you what, umm, whenever you decide that you're ready, I'll go to the hospital with you. Strength in numbers.
Haley: Yeah. Yeah, okay, thank you.
Peyton: I'll see ya.
Peyton: Haley, what are you doing?
Haley: Inventory.
Peyton: Lucas is lying in a hospital. Why can't you just go see him?
Haley: Because he wouldn't want to see me.
Peyton: What are you talking about? You guys are best friends.
Haley: Not last night, we weren't. We got in a fight.
1.15 || Suddenly Everything Has Changed
Luke: I'm going to need some time to figure some stuff out.
Brooke: Whatever you need, I'm here for you.
Luke: Yeah, see, that's the thing.
Brooke: Are you breaking up with me?
Luke: I just think it's the best thing for right now.
Brooke: Maybe for you.
Luke: Brooke, I'm sorry.
Brooke: Apparently not enough.
Brooke: Hey, I want you to know that I'm here for you and whatever you need and if she's not home, I might actually give you a sponge bath.
Luke: Actually, I can't do that for awhile.
Brooke: What, bathe?
Luke: No, you know, sex.
Brooke: Wow, that sucks. A little cardio maybe just what ya need.
Peyton: Brooke.
Brooke: No. The next time you want to steal my boyfriend, you might wanna turn that thing off. (points to computer) I went into his room to check on him, and his computer was on. I know you two were together. He meant everything to me, Peyton. And I was ready to try to be his friend if that's what he needed. Now I don't really care if I see either one of you again.
Brooke: Hey.
Peyton: You're out late.
Brooke: Lucky thing you finding Lucas like that. If you hadn't come along, who knows what might have happened.
Peyton: Everything turned out okay.
Brooke: 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.
Nathan: You know, I don't know how I deal with all this crap with my parents if you weren't around.
Haley: You're welcome.
Nathan: I'm serious. It's like the worse things get with my parents, the better things get with you.
Haley: Are things really awful with your parents?
Nathan: It's a war zone and I'm stuck with whoever's got the best lawyer.
Haley: Aww, you should know your rights.
Nathan: It's not like I have any.
Haley: No, you do. Let's find out. Knowledge is power.
Nathan: Do you sing?
Haley: I, um, sing when no one is around.
Nathan: Well, I think you should sing for me sometime.
Nathan: Wait a minute, is this...is this a new outfit?
Haley: He noticed. Yes it is. It's all about the new me. Do you like?
Nathan: Yeah, but what's wrong with the old you?
Haley: Nothing. I just thought I'd branch out and try some new things.
Nathan: This could be good. Like what?
Haley: I don't know. There's a lot I wanna try that I never did.
Nathan: Like fooling around with me?
Luke: When you didn't come to the hospital, I began to worry that maybe you changed your mind.
Peyton: No, it was just too weird with Brooke there. I started to tell her about us the night of your accident and then Haley called and everything changed....
Luke: I figured. That's why I ended things with Brooke today.
Peyton: You did? Did you tell her why?
Luke: No, I told her I needed to focus on getting well.
Peyton: We need to tell her the rest.
Luke: Peyton.
Peyton: I was so afraid you weren't going to wake up.
Luke: What? And miss out on being with you?
1.16 || The First Cut Is the Deepest
Nathan: So now I know. I don't ever remember feeling like this, Haley. Yeah, like with my dad, but she abandoned me.
Haley: I'm sorry.
Nathan: I can't go back there. I can't live with my dad, either. I'm screwed.
Haley: Maybe not. There might be an answer.
Luke: Brooke, I never meant to hurt you.
Brooke: That doesn't really matter, Lucas 'cause in the end, it all hurts just the same.
Luke: Brooke, I'm sorry.
Brooke: Yeah, sorry you got caught.
Luke: No, I didn't mean to hurt you.
Brooke: You did not just say that to me.
Luke: Look, we didn't plan any of this. It just happened.
Brooke: Go to hell!
Skills: You sure you should be pushing yourself so hard, man? I thought you were supposed to be in physical therapy?
Luke: All they do is let me stretch right now, and I figured I get back in here, I build my muscle, and be back in shape twice as fast.
Skills: Or risk messing yourself up for good.
Luke: Whose side are you on anyways, huh?
Skills: I'm on your side, man. Look, all I'm saying is, dawg, what are you rushing back to?
Luke: Look, I worked hard to be part of this team, Skills. We're undefeated and I'm not giving up my spot now.
Tim: Hey, Gimp, Coach wants to see you in practice pronto.
Luke: Why?
Tim: What am I, psychic?
Dan: Five-speed Mustang fully-loaded and it's all yours. I know this divorce has been hard on you, Nate. I just want to thank you for sticking by the old man. What's the matter? You're not supposed to look around at a gift, ya know.
Nathan: It's not a gift, Dad. This is a bribe.
Dan: A bribe, wow! Not exactly the thank you I was expecting.
Nathan: Ok, thanks for the car, Dad. Now I can get away from you whenever I want.
1.17 || Spirit In The Night
Peyton: (shows Haley dressed in cheerleader outfit to Brooke) Ta-da!
Brooke: Tutor girl, you look bitching.
Haley: Yeah, I kind of do, don't I?
Brooke: Now, get your suit hot tub therapy, both of you.
Nathan: Haley? What are you doing?
Haley: I'm kind of filling in for Teresa.
Nathan: Works for me. I gotta thing for cheerleaders.
Haley: Oh, yeah.
Haley: No way!
Peyton: Haley, come on. Remember when I made you those flyers for Open Mic Night?
Haley: That is really unfair. You're a born artist. I'm a born klutz, okay? I, I, almost drowned in the balls at Chuck E. Cheese.
Peyton: Okay, but if we don't find a replacement, we're gonna have to forfeit.
Haley: Don't you guys lose every year since grade school, anyway? So, what's the big deal?
Peyton: It's important to Brooke. Do you know how terrible it is to be disconnected from your best friend? Look, I really hurt Brooke, and I just don't want her to be disappointed again.
Peyton: God, it's good to have an escape route in case she tries to smother me with a pillow. How you doing?
Jake: Mmmm... having Jenny withdrawal.
Peyton: Yeah, but you need a weekend away to just relax and have a good time. It doesn't happen too often.
Jake: Yeah, true, but there's been some new developments.
Peyton: Oh, really, what are they? Sorry, cheer Nazi calls.
1.18 || To Wish Impossible Things
Mouth: 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.
Mouth: I guess I should've told my parents I'd be out late. I'm not sure this was a good idea.
Brooke: Mouth, you've gotta live a little.
Mouth: No, its not that. 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.
Brooke: Thanks, but this gets old pretty quick. Trust me.
Luke: Uhh, he wasn't there.
Haley: You sure, apartment 11?
Luke: Yeah.
Haley: Hmm, weird. I just got his voicemail. I guess he really isn't there. I told you Peyton was easy.
Luke: Come on, I'll take you home.
Haley: Okay.
Peyton: Nathan, I'm proud of you, you know, standing up to your dad, being a good guy for Haley. You've turned into the guy I always knew you could be.
Peyton: Nearly midnight. Looks like our date's almost over.
Nathan: Yeah, I think I was hitting on ya in the pool.
Peyton: You think you were?
Nathan: I don't know anymore. This whole good guy thing is new to me. I guess I'll always have feelings for you, Peyton, but I owe it to Haley to be a better guy than I've been. I just don't wanna be the kind of guy that cheats on her.
Peyton: Then don't be.
Haley: No, I told you, Nathan doesn't know. Ugh, God, what am I going to do, Luke? I'm so, I hate being away from him, I think about him constantly. I was in the middle of a history quiz yesterday and I just totally zoned out on him. Maybe we're not going to be together for the rest of our lives, but right now I'm in love for the first time and if I look at this tattoo 20 years from now and it reminds me of how I feel today, I think I'll be okay with that.
Haley: Yeah, so. Here's the thing, though. If your tongue comes anywhere near my mouth, I'm just never speaking to you again, though.
Luke: Hey, Haley, you're going to be okay. I promise you that.
Haley: Thanks.
Haley: Well, did you have fun tonight, slave boy? Thanks for playing along.
Luke: Look, Haley, I know we've grown apart a bit lately, and I know we have a lot ahead of us, but I just want you to know I'll always be there for ya. And if Nathan doesn't see how special you really are, well then he's an idiot 'cause I think you're amazing.
Haley: Thanks, Luke. Oh, technically, you owe me a goodnight kiss.
Luke: Hmmm... rules are rules, I guess.
Mouth: Well, I should get home. That stripper might call me.
Brooke: Mouth... (gives him a small kiss)
Mouth: Oh, right, for the charity thing.
Brooke: No, just 'cause.
Mouth: Hey, Brooke, thanks. This was the greatest night of my life.
1.19 || How Can You Be Sure?
Dan: 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.
Nathan: Haley, you got a tattoo for God's sake. Obviously, this whole thing with us means a lot to you. I just don't want to do anything to pressure you or drive you away. Even though sometimes I can't help it. Just like I can't help that I fell in love with you. 'Cause I did. I love you, Haley. And it scares me a little bit, but there it is.
Haley: Wow. There it is. (kisses him) I love you, too.
Haley: Nathan, I know I'm driving you crazy.
Nathan: No, you're not.
Haley: Do you think that I'm a tease?
Nathan: Stop it.
Haley: Well what do you think?
Nathan: I think that you're my girlfriend, and I like to spend time with you.
1.20 || What Is And What Should Never Be
Nathan: You're just lucky Tim's here. Because I have a thing for girls named Haley James.
Haley: Oh yeah, well, you're lucky Tim's here too.
Guy: Buy you a drink?
Brooke: 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.
1.21 || The Leaving Song
Nathan: You know, it'd be nice if a guy could get a little privacy in his own apartment.
Haley: 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: Haley...
Haley: You said they weren't real.
Nathan: They aren't.
Haley: This hurts me, Nathan.
Nathan: I get that. It's just a fantasy.
Haley: Was Peyton just a fantasy?
Nathan: That's just ... Well, I just stumbled on that, so it's no big deal.
Haley: What about the other half a dozen sites you stumbled on and bookmarked? Nathan, it's hard enough for me to compete with all the girls at school. What, now I have to be a porn star?
Nathan: No. These girls aren't real.
Nathan: Hales, look. A single afternoon together and not one punch thrown.
Haley: Lucas, can I talk to Nathan alone, please?
Lucas: Sure.
Nathan: What's up?
Haley: I was doing some research on the internet, and I found what my boyfriend's been studying.
Nathan: You know, my pride says, "Yeah. that's it. Just leave here knowing Haley is obviously intimidated by a sexual relationship." But my heart says, "Forget about your pride, you idiot. You love this girl. And even if you catch pneumonia, your ass is gonna stay out here in the rain until you convince her to come back" So come on, Hales. Just meet me halfway here?
Haley: Why should I?
Nathan: Because I'm sorry. Because I love you. And because you're looking really hot, standing out here in the rain and I'm thinking, "I have to kiss you."
Haley: Well, if you have to.
Hayley: Nathan, you're soaked. What are you doing here?
Nathan: I went for a run. I guess this is where I ended up. Haley, those pictures of Peyton don't mean anything. I saved those when we were still dating. I guess I should have gotten rid of them.
Haley: Is that it?
1.22 || The Games That Play Us
Haley: So you bring me into a creepy cemetery and tell me that you're leaving Tree Hill for good? Luke, who's gonna raid thrift stores with me and lie to the lost and found and claim stupid stuff, huh? Who's gonna do that with me now?
Lucas: Nathan. And me occasionally. Just not all the time.
Lucas: Haley, these people, they're dead.
Haley: Yeah, but if you keep yelling, the freaking zombies are gonna get us.
Lucas: Haley, I gotta tell you something.
Haley: What's her name and what did you do that you regret?
Lucas: No. I'm going to Charleston with Keith, Hales.
Haley: OK, for how long?
Lucas: Forever. Hales, I'm gonna move there.
Haley: Luke? Lucas, this is not funny. I told you I don't want to take this shortcut. Lucas? Luke, this is so not cool. Lucas Scott!
Lucas: Boogie Man!
Haley: Aaah! (punches Lucas in the gut)
Lucas: Damn it, Haley! You're gonna kill me! You know, Houdini died like that.
Haley: You deserve it, dumbass. I told you I don't want to take this shortcut.
Lucas: (voiceover) Some people believe that ravens guide travelers to their destinations. Others believe that the sight of a solitary raven is considered good luck while more than one raven together predicts trouble ahead.
Deb: How did we become so broken?
Keith: We fell in love, and at some point, the people we love forgot to love us back.
Lucas: (voiceover) There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune but omitted, and the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and mesires. On such a full sea are we now afloat and we must take the current when it serves or lose the ventures before us.
Lucas: You ever have something that you knew that you were better at than... almost anybody else?
Peyton: Sex. (pauses) Joke.
Peyton: So, what did you bet?
Lucas: I win, Nathan stays on the team.
Peyton: Why?
Lucas: Because it's the last thing he wants. And anyway, it's not about him.
Dan: I'm only thinking of the kid.
Karen: You have no right to think of him - not today or any other day of his life. How dare you.
Dan: Are you finished?
Karen: I haven't even started!
Lucas: Can I ask you a question?
Peyton: It's a free country...
Lucas: Why are you a cheerleader? I mean, no offense or anything, but you're about the least cheery person I know. ... Come on, let me give you a ride. I'll let you insult me.
Peyton: First of all, you don't know me. Second of all, you don't know me. God, why are guys such jerks?
Dan: Nathan. Remember, 20 shots, no less.
Nathan: Got it, Dad.
Coach Durham: Quit yakking and warm up.
Lucas: Did you change your hair?
Karen: If by "change," you mean "drag a brush through it," then yeah.
Dan: You're despicable, you know that? Letting the dreams of this team just vanish. You're full of crap.
Coach Durham: It comes with old age, Danny: constipation.
Dan: Yeah. And this bet tonight. Is that a joke, too? Or would you really quit the team? You have everything to lose here and nothing to gain.
Nathan: Sometimes what you call "everything," I call "nothing."
Karen: 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?
Lucas: Anyway. Guys kept teasing me about it, about how Nathan's dad was my dad, too. So I asked my mom, and she said he wasn't. But I'd get home, and I hear her crying in her room. I knew it was true. So I never went back. I told my mom it was because I didn't want to have to see his face. But, it was mostly because I didn't want her to have to.
Peyton: So why'd you tell me that? I mean, we don't even know each other.
Lucas: Maybe that's the point.
Lucas: What makes it less of a game if people don't see it?
Keith: 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.
Lucas: What do you want?
Nathan: What do I want? What do you want, man? I mean, other than my girlfriend and my spot in the lineup, huh? None of us want you on the team, man. I don't want you. The guys don't want you. My girlfriend sure as hell doesn't want you. But here's the deal. You and me, one on one. You can name the time and place. If you win, I'll quit the team. If I win, you crawl back in your little hole and you remember your place in all this. Time and place, baby. Time and place.
Nathan: ... and i'll see you tomorrow.
Peyton: How about you don't see me tomorrow?
Haley: Oh, the magazine pages are sticking again, you little pervert. Oh hey Luke. You've been reading this?
Lucas: I don't know, Haley. Is that the 'why do i hang out with these people?' issue, because you're on the cover of that, right?
Haley: No, actually it's the 'my best friend is an idiot' issue and there you are!
Lucas: No foul, basket counts. Besides, you won't score again.
1.02 || The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most
Lucas: (voiceover) Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours.
Whitey: What are you doing? Putting on your makeup? Get into the gym and start warming up. Jagielski, when you find the pumps to match your skirt, you might get into the gym, too.
Lucas: (to Peyton) Your art matters. That's what got me here.
Mouth: Be nice, be nice, put it in there. There you go.
Whitey: You're gonna be okay.
Lucas: Yeah, I am.
Haley: She doesn't want to go. She doesn't wanna 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 the story again. Let's go.
Lucas: I didn't want to be like him and I was afraid that I'd become him if I played. In the gym, I felt like he had a piece of me. I never felt like that on the playground.
Karen: Well, I'd say he's taken enough from us. I took the night off to watch my son play again. The way that he used to when he loved the game more than anything.
Keith: It's the rule of the life - the prettier the girl - the messier car; kind of a turn on.
Peyton: Unbelievable!
Nathan: What? Peyton, did you see how bad he sucked tonight?
Peyton: So?
Nathan: He was horrible! I've never seen a guy play so bad
Peyton: And you enjoyed that?
Nathan: Hell yeah. Didn't you? What is this, Peyton? You like this guy or something?
Peyton: You mean more than my boyfriend who I'm trying to make out with right now?
Nathan: Well, put some ice on it. You ever think I might want to talk?
Peyton: No, you don't. You want to celebrate a public humuliation. And I'm sorry. That's a little played out.
Nathan: Oh, and being with you isn't?
Whitey: There's no shame in being afraid. Hell, we're all afraid. What you gotta do is figure out what you're afraid of because when you put a face on it, you can beat it. Better yet, you can use it.
Nathan: You've got some ugly toes, girl.
Peyton: No, I don't.
Nathan: Yeah, you do. They're practically like fingers.
Peyton: Well, then just focus on the middle one.
Peyton: Dear diary, my daddy doesn't love me. P.S. stay out of my stuff!
Peyton: Do you wanna come in?
Lucas: What about Nathan?
Peyton: What about him? What are you doing?
Lucas: You just said ...
Peyton: I didn't invite you to come in. I just asked you if you want to. Thanks for the ride.
Nathan: I can describe Lucas in one word... bastard.
Karen: It's hard to fight the things we are afraid of. Sometimes we just need a little help.
Nathan: [to Lucas] You want my world? You got it.
1.03 || Are You True?
Haley: Do you see this book? Because this book is me. I am math.
Nathan: What's that supposed to mean?
Haley: It's supposed to mean that you can work your whole "I'm Nathan Scott, Mr. Big Shot, scoring my touchdowns" on somebody else, because -
Nathan: I don't even play football.
Haley: Whatever. The point is, at the end of the day all your bluster and BS don't mean anything to math because math don't care, and neither do I.
Nathan: Well, does English care? 'Cause I really suck at that, too.
Haley: Please don't waste my time. I'm already taking a huge chance on you because my instincts are screaming that you're full of sh... Let's just get started, okay?
Nathan:You're Haley James, right?
Haley: I'm sorry. I'm best friends with Lucas.
Nathan: Well, then I'm sorry too.
Haley: Forget it, I'll find you someone else.
Nathan: Look, there is no one else. All right? I'd be fine with it if there was.
Haley: If there were.
Nathan: See, you're helping me already.
Haley: Look, I can't help you. And on top of that, I won't help you. Okay?
Nathan: Hey!
Haley: Can I help you?
Nathan: I hope so. You're my tutor.
Haley: Right, I don't think so.
Editor: Interesting, where have you studied?
Peyton: Um, mostly in my bedroom. Is that bad?
Lucas: (voiceover) E.E. Cummings once wrote; To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle, which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.
Karen: Haley comes from a big family. When Lucas met her, I think they were eight or nine. But she saw it was just me and Lucas, and she said, "Yeah, I come from a big family. I think you guys need me more."
Lucas: (throws can of spray paint at Nathan) You left that at the court.
Nathan: I don't know what you're talking about.
Lucas: Title in the gym 'cause I'm taking it.
Nathan: Look, you guys are the ones I feel sorry for. Me? I'm going to get my minutes. But you guys have been busting your tails since the junior leagues. Now you finally get your shot and Whitey gives the starting spot to this guy? It's not right. If you ask me, he shouldn't even be on the team.
Tim: So then, what are we going to do?
Nathan: We're gonna make him earn it. At least make him suffer like we did.
Karen Roe: You know, Sheri, I came down here wanting to give you the benefit of the doubt, but clearly you're still the same petty little bitch you were in high school.
Whitey: I was just getting used to low-waist jeans. Let's go, ball boy!
Nathan: Hey! I just wanted to let you know that I'm gonna be fine.
Haley: Good.
Nathan: I mean, F is for fine, right?
Nathan: Well, well. The gang's all here. I told you it was gonna get worse. Now, see, normally this is when you become part of the team. We'd have a keg, tell some war stories but you had to know that wasn't going to happen, right? Look, these guys made a choice to back me. But we're going to be nice, and we're going to let you walk away. Just quit the team, man. Otherwise, it's going to get ugly.
Nathan: Hey, who's that girl he's always hanging out with?
Tim: Who knows... Why? You feel like slumming?
Jake: Fear changes everything.
Dan: Happiness doesn't come cheap. Hell, if it did, we would all be smiling.
Whitey: Oh, well, by the way there's a half naked girl at the back seat of your car. I just thought you'd like to know that.
Lucas: Oh, I think you got the wrong car.
Brooke: Nah. Don't mind me. I just have to get out of this uniform. So, uh, anyways, I'm Brooke. But you probably knew that. Can I tell you that that last shot was awesome? How'd it feel? Good, huh? You know it did.
1.04 || Crash Into You
Peyton: It's not about the car. It's about you. I finally saw you clearly for the first time last night. The way you treated me, the way you treated Tim, the way you treated your brother.
Nathan: Don't call him that.
Peyton: And the way you're playing that girl.
Nathan: What? Are you talking about Haley? Is that what this is about? Peyton, she means nothing.
Peyton: Okay, if that's the case, then you're an ass. And even if she does mean something, you're still an ass, and what's really sad, Nathan, is that you're too stupid to get that. So thank you for being such an amazing son of a bitch last night. You really made this a no-brainer.
Nathan: I'll call you when you're not so PMS.
Haley: Yeah, this is my house. Um... we're staying here while we renovate the mansion.
Nathan: It's not like I was trying to show off.
Haley: Wasn't that your default setting? Sorry.
Peyton: How's the tutoring going? You're tutoring Nathan, right? It's ok. He tells me everything.
Haley: Yeah, he said he needed some help.
Peyton: Maybe you could teach him to stop being such a jackass.
Haley: I will put that on the lesson plan.
Peyton: Just be careful, ok?
Haley: Yeah, sure.
Peyton: Does Lucas know you're helping Nathan? (Haley looks at her in disgust.) You know, you say a lot when you keep your mouth shut. It's okay. I'll keep mine shut, too.
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?
Peyton: He really slammed you.
Lucas: I don't care what he thinks.
Peyton: Neither do I.
Lucas: Oh yeah? Then why are you drinking?
Haley: I'm really fine.
Nathan: Little high on yourself, aren't you? Going around saying you're all fine?
1.05 || All That You Can't Leave Behind
Deb: You know, there is a chance that Lucas and Nathan could get along if their father encouraged it.
Dan: True. But there's also a chance that hell could freeze over.
Lucas: (voiceover) John Steinbeck once wrote "It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live for our death brings no pleasure on the world."
Lucas: So to hell with him. I don't want his name.
Karen: Keith's a Scott too, you know.
Karen: When I found out I was pregnant, Dan already had a basketball scholarship, and nothing was going to get in the way of that. But then something strange happened. Right before classes started, Dan changed his mind. He said he'd finish the semester and...we'd get married. So when I went into labor and you appeared, the nurse asked for your name, and I said it was Scott. Keith was there, and when the nurse brought you in, she let him hold you. I've known Keith my whole life, and that's the only time I've seen him cry. Your father never showed up.
Haley: 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.
Keith: 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.
Dan: Okay, Keith.
Keith: 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.
Lucas: I saw you with him.
Haley: Who, Nathan? God, he got a good grade on that math quiz. It was nothing.
Lucas: I want to believe you, Haley. I do. But I don't think you're telling the truth.
Haley: I am telling the truth, Lucas. There's nothing going on.( Lucas sees her bracelet that Nathan gave her)
Lucas: Nice bracelet.
Haley: Still in denial?
Nathan: About what?
Haley: Missing her. It's okay that you do.
Nathan: What, are you my tutor or my shrink?
Haley: Whatever you need.
Brooke: Hey cutie! I saw your picture in the paper. Personally, I didn't think it did you justice.
Lucas: No?
Brooke: No. Far too much clothing.
Lucas: I'm an idiot.
Haley: I know.
Nathan: You know, me and Peyton broke up.
Haley: Peyton and I.
Nathan: What, she broke up with you, too? I just, I didn't know she was gonna take it this hard. She went off on Brooke at practice. I'm kinda worried about her.
Haley: Well, maybe you should have worried more about her when you were together. I'm sorry, but come on, it's true.
Nathan: No, you don't know the first thing about Peyton and I.
Haley: Me and Peyton.
Nathan: Whatever.
Peyton: What's wrong is how pointless all of this is!
Brooke: Stop saying that!
Peyton: 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?
Peyton: You're not even close. You're not even in the neighborhood close!
1.06 || Every Night Is Another Story
Brooke: That's perfect. Brooke can come with us!
Haley: Yeah, she named me Brooke.
Brooke: Peyton, can she come? Please? Peyton, please!
Peyton: Just don't touch the stereo. Or we'll have a problem.
Brooke: Road trip!
Brooke: We should totally hang out together. What is your name?
Haley: Haley.
Brooke: Yeah. I don't like that name. Let's call you ... Brooke!
Brooke: This really hurts. Do you think you could, you know, give me something for the pain?
College guy: I shouldn't but - here you go.
Brooke: Just one?
College guy: Okay.
College guy: Now, those are really strong, so I guess, take half at a time.
Brooke: Whoops! All gone!
Lucas: (to Peyton) Hey. So I saw Nathan in the shower. Yeah, no wonder you broke up with him.
Brooke: 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...
Brooke: Did you see that?
Peyton: What?
Brooke: Nathan just gave her the nod.
Peyton: What nod?
Brooke: The "lets hook up after the game" nod.
Brooke: Where the hell are we?
Haley: Miles from normal.
Karen: Okay, what does this dress say to you?
Lucas: Uh ... beware of crazy ladies who talk to dresses?
Lucas: (voiceover) As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment. Then gradually time awakened again and moved sluggishly on.
Karen: Lucas called tonight a date for us. And for a while, I pretended that it was. And it felt good.
Keith: Can I tell you a secret?
Karen: Sure. Go ahead.
Keith: I pretended that too.
Karen: (smiles)
Keith: I love you. Always have.
Nathan: I remember this one summer, I was playing little league baseball, and I was the pitcher, and my dad was the coach. Anyway, this kid, Billy Lyons, he was a great hitter. Everything he hit was a homerun. So, you know, he got up to the plate and there was nobody on base, so I just walked him. Four straight pitches, nothing even close to a strike. So my dad calls a timeout, comes to the mound, and I'm thinking he's gonna say like, smart move or good thinking son, something like that. But instead... instead he grabs me by the arm, and he kicks me in the ass as hard as he can. I mean, he literally took me by the arm so that I wouldn't like, go flying, he kicked me so hard. Then he brought Stevie Planking in to pitch, sat me on the bench, never mentioned it again.
Lucas: That sucks.
Nathan: Yeah. So just think about that the next time you're feeling sorry for yourself.
Keith: Oh, what do you know? We finally got the center aisle this year. Guy must've thought I said Dan Scott.
Karen: No. Dan's table has one spot for Dan and five for his ego.
Thing: Okay, the game isn't called two punks staring at each other. It's called Gladiator. Get to it.
Lucas: Alright, you can screw yourself. Because there's no way in hell that the two of us are going to fight. (Nathan tackles Lucas) Or maybe we are.
Lucas: So this Haley thing... you know, for some reason, she feels like you're not full of crap. Don't take advantage of that.
Nathan: I'm not going to.
Lucas:I know you're not. Because if you do, you're going to live to regret it.
Nathan: Bring it on. Hey, listen. Look, man, you didn't have to get in that car when those guys grabbed me. Especially after you warned me not to.
Lucas: Right, whatever. You know the way I see it, I mean, if they would've taken you out, who the hell else am I gonna have to fight with, right?
Nathan: Same person I have.
1.07 || Life In A Glass House
Brooke: We have a hot tub.
Lucas: Brooke, I ...
Brooke: We have a naked me in the hot tub.
Lucas: What if I told you there was someone else?
Brooke: Well, then normally I'd suggest a threesome.
Deb: She's young enough to be your daughter. And in this town, she might just be.
Dan: Ouch!
Deb: Sorry, couldn't resist.
Nathan: Why is the coach so easy with you, Jagielski?
Jake: We party together.
Tim: Maybe they're lovers.
Nathan: Why? Did you two break up?
1.08 || The Search For Something More
Lucas: So why'd you call me, anyway? Why not Nathan or one of the guys?
Brooke: Because I knew you'd come through.
Brooke: We're young. We're fine. Let's do some damage.
Lucas: A guy drugged Peyton's drink at a party. Brooke called me for help. I took her home, waited until she felt better. Truth.
Karen: As excuses go, that's pretty solid. Is she okay?
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.
Brooke: What's your idea of your perfect date?
Haley: Watching you get hit by a bus.
Brooke: And a sense of humor. Nathan's really lucky.
Haley: 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.
Nathan: (kisses her)
Haley: Except that. You shouldn't have done that, Nathan.
Nathan: But I wanted to.
Haley: Yeah.
Haley: Trying to wake up my parents? That's their room...
Nathan: Wait, Haley, look, I need to apologize, okay?
Haley: You should buy 'em in bulk if you're gonna hand apologies out that often.
Nathan: Look will you just... I don't know how to do this all right...? I'm... I'm not like you
Haley: What does that mean?
Nathan: All right, I screw up a lot, all right... and being around you, I just... I don't wanna be that guy any more.
Haley: Well, who do you wanna be, Nathan?
Nathan: I wanna be somebody who's good enough to be seen with you.
Tim: Hey Nathan, what's up man?
Nathan: Hey guys, you know Haley. She's my tutor...
Tim: This looks a lot like a date to me.
Nathan: No man, definitely not.
Tim: (leaving) All right, see you later.
Nathan: I'm sorry about that.
Haley: Are you embarrassed to be seen with me? And why are you only nice to me when we're alone?
Nathan: It's just...
Haley: 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.
Nathan: So you couldn't have ordered a lobster?
Haley: Dude, macaroni and cheese is food of the Gods.
Nathan: Yeah, if the Gods are five-year-olds.
Karen: You remember when you said the other night that I had good instincts and that I should trust them?
Keith: Yeah.
Karen: (kisses Keith) You were right.
1.09 || With Arms Outstretched
Lucas: (voiceover) What a frightening thing the human is, a mass of gauges and dials and registers, and we can read only a few and those perhaps not accurately.
Nathan: (to Haley) When I fell to the floor tonight, I was so scared, I was so terrified. Then I saw you, and I promised myself that if I could just get up, I'd walk over to you... I'd tell you how much I need you and how much I want you... and how nothing else matters.
Nathan: A month ago, did you think we'd be alone in your bedroom?
Haley: Oh, but we're not alone in my bedroom. We have the forefathers with us.
Nathan: They can watch.
Haley: Nathan, can you just get serious for a minute?
Nathan: Oh, I'm serious. Come here. (they kiss)
Deb: (to Dan) Pack a bag and get out or so help me God, I will stab you in your sleep.
1.10 || You Gotta Go There To Come Back
Tim: This sucks!
Jake: Speak for yourself. Whitey just did me a favor.
Nathan: Yeah, me too.
Whitey: Nice to see you, vertical. How ya feeling?
Nathan: Same as always. What's this all about?
Whitey: Seems to me we've lost track about what this game is suppose to be about, myself included. Now I want you to take this time and think about why we're really out there. 'Til then no practice.
Nathan: Look, I think I should get back to the madness, but, hey, if I could, I'd stay like this all day.
Haley: Ok. Nathan, about last night ...
Nathan: Hey, it's not about sex with me, alright? When you're ready, I'll be ready, too.
Haley: [to Nathan] 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.
Haley: Look, I've seen Peyton really try to make an effort to turn things around. It just sucks she got bit the first time she reached out to somebody, you know?
Lucas: Haley, I'm not the bad guy here, okay? Peyton's just too... hard.
Haley: Unlike Brooke, who I understand, is nice and easy.
Lucas: Excuse me. She makes me laugh. She's honest. She's not afraid to be herself. Plus, she's not covered head to toe in issues.
Lucas: It's not that hard. Peyton and I just don't make sense as a couple. She said so herself.
Haley: And then took it back!
Lucas: What are you, her lawyer?
1.11 || The Living Years
Peyton: Look, don't underestimate Brooke. She's full of surprises. That's part of her charm.
Lucas: She told me to listen to tracks 8 and 13. Well, there are only 12 songs.
Peyton: Honest mistake.
Lucas: I'm sorry about this morning with your dad. I had no idea he was there.
Peyton: It's because he usually isn't.
Lucas: I thought you were happy with your setup?
Peyton: That's what I tell him. I make up stuff in the emails. I send him about how happy I am on my own and how responsible I'm being even when I'm not. He loves his job, you know, and after my mom died, it's just not fair to ask him to give that up, but I miss him when he's away.
Lucas: You tell him that?
Peyton: He worries. It's just better not to.
Lucas: I thought you might want that back.
Peyton: I already have it.
Lucas: So do I. Tracks 8 and 11, totally you, so what are you doing? Some sort of Cyrano thing for Brooke?
Peyton: Why would I do that?
Lucas: Why? I asked you first.
Lucas: Hey.
Brook: I got you something.
Lucas: Hmm, but I don't have anything for you.
Brooke: And yet you do. Couple songs on there made me think of you. Of course most things do.
Lucas: I didn't know you were into Travis.
Brooke: Are you kidding? I love Travis. He's the best.
Lucas: Who?
Brooke: That Travis guy... are we not in the same conversation? (school bell rings.) Umm, check out tracks 8 and 13. (Kisses Lucas) Bye!
Brooke: All work and no Brooke makes Luke a boring boy.
Nathan: These past couple weeks without it ... I mean if I didn't play, I might actually have a life.
Haley: What would you do?
Nathan: I don't know. At least I have some time to figure it out. Besides, I'm sure we can find other things to do with our time.
Haley: Like?
Nathan: (kisses Haley)
Haley: I think you're really brave to reconsider building who you are. I don't know if I could do that.
Nathan: You could if you tried. Look, I gotta go.
Haley: Oh, yeah. Hey, umm, basketball practice starts up again today right?
Nathan: Yeah, I'm just not sure if I do. I'll see ya.
Haley: Did you finish 'The Little Prince'?
Nathan: No, I just rented the movie. This book is stupid.
Haley: Nathan, you're not going to pass French if you keep renting movies.
Nathan: Its not like I have a lot of time to read.
Haley: So, are you ever going to tell me how it went?
Nathan: The therapist asked me if I liked playing basketball.
Haley: Wow, what did you say?
Nathan: I didn't know what to say. No one has ever asked me that question.
Lucas: You're sure your parents won't come home?
Brooke: They could, but this isn't their jacuzzi.
Lucas: Brooke, whose house is this?
Brooke: I don't know. Does it matter?
1.12 || A Crash Course In Polite Conversation
Lucas: You warm enough?
Peyton: I'm okay. I should probably get the heater fixed in here, huh?
Lucas: You know, I could have Keith take a look at it for ya. He's really good at that stuff. Do you want me to stop and get some coffee?
Peyton: I'm fine, thanks. Thanks for doing this for me, Luke.
Lucas: That's what friends are for, right?
Peyton: Yeah.
Nathan: You should come tonight. Maybe you'll make everyone behave.
Haley: I'll come if you want me to.
Nathan: No, I wasn't serious. I wouldn't put you through that.
Haley: No, I mean, if you're asking, of course, my answer is yes.
Nathan: Well, then, I'm asking.
Haley: Well, then, I'm coming.
Haley: So this, uh, dinner is going to be pretty bad, huh?
Nathan: Yeah, a massacre. My grandma's okay. It's just my grandpa's pretty intense. You've met my dad. Just imagine where he comes from.
Haley: Scary.
Lucas: Peyton... I...
Peyton: Don't! It was stupid, ok? You're with Brooke now.
Lucas: Yeah.
Peyton: We just... we got carried away. It didn't mean anything.
Lucas: It didn't?
Peyton: Of course it did.
1.13 || Hanging By A Moment
Haley: I can't do this.
Nathan: Yes, you can like this. Alright, square your shoulders to the basket. Bring the ball up right past your nose like this, okay? Bend your knees a little, just relax your hips, and just shoot. Okay, that wasn't perfect, but it also wasn't embarrassing. It was actually kind of sexy.
Nathan: You realize I've seen you in that crochete thing you wear, right?
Haley: Come on, this is embarrassing. I want you to think I'm not embarrassing.
Nathan: You don't embarrass me, Haley.
Haley: Oh, yeah, ok.
Nathan: Ok, I take that back.
Nathan: Was that your jump shot? Because if that was your jump shot, I can't date you anymore. My mom said you would be here, something about a grade?
Haley: Yeah, you cannot be here right now.
Nathan: Why not?
Haley: Because I look stupid.
Peyton: Even if we could be together, what makes you think it would work?
Lucas: 'Cause I feel it in my heart, don't you?
Peyton: Yes, so what are we going to do?
Peyton: That's where we're at right now. It's not fair to her to make a big deal out of what happened. It didn't mean anything. I'm sorry.
Lucas: Peyton....(kisses her) See, it does mean something.
Peyton: It can't.
Lucas: But it does.
Peyton: Lucas, you're dating Brooke.
Lucas: I know, and she's great, okay, but she's not you. Look, ever since you came to my room and told me how you felt about me, I've been hiding with Brooke. Okay, I've been trying not to get hurt again. I don't wanna hide anymore.
Lucas: Hey, Peyton.
Peyton: Oh, hey, Brooke had to take off early, so she's expecting you to call her.
Lucas: Okay, you gotta a sec?
Peyton: Umm, yeah, what's up?
Lucas: I lied, okay? I can't bury what happened between us.
Peyton: Lucas, Brooke is my best friend and she's your girlfriend.
Lucas: Peyton, so how's everything with your dad?
Peyton: Good, thanks.
Lucas: Yeah, and uhh, how about us?
Peyton: That moment where we kissed right? I've been feeling guilty about it all weekend.
Lucas: Me, too.
Peyton: Listen, let's just bury it and pretend it never happened. Okay?
Lucas: Sure.
Brooke: People that are meant to be together always find their ways in the end.
1.14 || I Shall Believe
Lucas: Hey, buddy, I missed you.
Haley: Nathan, I'm not in the mood right now.
Nathan: Lucas is awake. I was there when he opened his eyes. I went to see him.
Haley: Why?
Nathan: Because I knew you couldn't. I wanted him to know that you were thinking about him. Look, I know it was wrong to go after you for the reasons I did. I can't apologize for that, but I'm glad I did, but I'm not that person anymore because of you. Let me take you to him.
Luke: (wakes up in hospital) Water ... What are you doing here?
Nathan: It's a long story. Let me get your mom.
Nathan: (talking to Luke, lying in hospital unconscious.) Hey, man. I came here to talk to you. So, I'm here because, uhh, everything is screwed up. Look, I know you don't trust me with Haley, but I like her a lot, you know. She's hurting a lot now, too. She needs you to open your eyes, man. She feels like she can't be forgiven, and I'm sort of in the same place. This accident, it might not turn out so bad, ya know. You can take a break from the game and people's expectations. I wish I had that chance. It might be hard to believe, but maybe you're the lucky one. You can get out.
Karen: I've been expecting Haley to come on by.
Peyton: Her and Lucas got in some kind of an argument, and she's been beating herself up over it.
Karen: They'll patch it up. Best friends can forgive each other over anything.
Karen: You don't have to go. He's allowed visitors.
Peyton: Okay. I'm Peyton.
Karen: I know. Lucas has talked about you. It's nice that people want to do something, but that's the last thing I want to think about is food.
Peyton: Yeah, but you'll be glad you had it in a couple of days. I swear the cooks in this hospital gets a bonus for making people sick.
Karen:Sounds like you spent some time here.
Peyton: Yeah, when my mom died.
Karen: I'm sorry. How'd she die?
Peyton: A car accident.
Karen: You're a good friend to visit.
Peyton: (to Luke, lying in hospital unconscious) Hey, it's me. Can you hear me? Squeeze my hand if you can hear me, okay? Never mind. Umm, I just came by to tell you that I'm probably not going to be around here much with Brooke here. It's just kind of weird, but I'm with you, Lucas. You know that, and I'll wait forever if I have to. (Karen walks in) Oh, I'm sorry. Nobody was here.
Haley: Peyton, what if..what if I can't take it back? What if he doesn't forgive me?
Peyton: He will, but you just need to see him. I tell you what, umm, whenever you decide that you're ready, I'll go to the hospital with you. Strength in numbers.
Haley: Yeah. Yeah, okay, thank you.
Peyton: I'll see ya.
Peyton: Haley, what are you doing?
Haley: Inventory.
Peyton: Lucas is lying in a hospital. Why can't you just go see him?
Haley: Because he wouldn't want to see me.
Peyton: What are you talking about? You guys are best friends.
Haley: Not last night, we weren't. We got in a fight.
1.15 || Suddenly Everything Has Changed
Luke: I'm going to need some time to figure some stuff out.
Brooke: Whatever you need, I'm here for you.
Luke: Yeah, see, that's the thing.
Brooke: Are you breaking up with me?
Luke: I just think it's the best thing for right now.
Brooke: Maybe for you.
Luke: Brooke, I'm sorry.
Brooke: Apparently not enough.
Brooke: Hey, I want you to know that I'm here for you and whatever you need and if she's not home, I might actually give you a sponge bath.
Luke: Actually, I can't do that for awhile.
Brooke: What, bathe?
Luke: No, you know, sex.
Brooke: Wow, that sucks. A little cardio maybe just what ya need.
Peyton: Brooke.
Brooke: No. The next time you want to steal my boyfriend, you might wanna turn that thing off. (points to computer) I went into his room to check on him, and his computer was on. I know you two were together. He meant everything to me, Peyton. And I was ready to try to be his friend if that's what he needed. Now I don't really care if I see either one of you again.
Brooke: Hey.
Peyton: You're out late.
Brooke: Lucky thing you finding Lucas like that. If you hadn't come along, who knows what might have happened.
Peyton: Everything turned out okay.
Brooke: 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.
Nathan: You know, I don't know how I deal with all this crap with my parents if you weren't around.
Haley: You're welcome.
Nathan: I'm serious. It's like the worse things get with my parents, the better things get with you.
Haley: Are things really awful with your parents?
Nathan: It's a war zone and I'm stuck with whoever's got the best lawyer.
Haley: Aww, you should know your rights.
Nathan: It's not like I have any.
Haley: No, you do. Let's find out. Knowledge is power.
Nathan: Do you sing?
Haley: I, um, sing when no one is around.
Nathan: Well, I think you should sing for me sometime.
Nathan: Wait a minute, is this...is this a new outfit?
Haley: He noticed. Yes it is. It's all about the new me. Do you like?
Nathan: Yeah, but what's wrong with the old you?
Haley: Nothing. I just thought I'd branch out and try some new things.
Nathan: This could be good. Like what?
Haley: I don't know. There's a lot I wanna try that I never did.
Nathan: Like fooling around with me?
Luke: When you didn't come to the hospital, I began to worry that maybe you changed your mind.
Peyton: No, it was just too weird with Brooke there. I started to tell her about us the night of your accident and then Haley called and everything changed....
Luke: I figured. That's why I ended things with Brooke today.
Peyton: You did? Did you tell her why?
Luke: No, I told her I needed to focus on getting well.
Peyton: We need to tell her the rest.
Luke: Peyton.
Peyton: I was so afraid you weren't going to wake up.
Luke: What? And miss out on being with you?
1.16 || The First Cut Is the Deepest
Nathan: So now I know. I don't ever remember feeling like this, Haley. Yeah, like with my dad, but she abandoned me.
Haley: I'm sorry.
Nathan: I can't go back there. I can't live with my dad, either. I'm screwed.
Haley: Maybe not. There might be an answer.
Luke: Brooke, I never meant to hurt you.
Brooke: That doesn't really matter, Lucas 'cause in the end, it all hurts just the same.
Luke: Brooke, I'm sorry.
Brooke: Yeah, sorry you got caught.
Luke: No, I didn't mean to hurt you.
Brooke: You did not just say that to me.
Luke: Look, we didn't plan any of this. It just happened.
Brooke: Go to hell!
Skills: You sure you should be pushing yourself so hard, man? I thought you were supposed to be in physical therapy?
Luke: All they do is let me stretch right now, and I figured I get back in here, I build my muscle, and be back in shape twice as fast.
Skills: Or risk messing yourself up for good.
Luke: Whose side are you on anyways, huh?
Skills: I'm on your side, man. Look, all I'm saying is, dawg, what are you rushing back to?
Luke: Look, I worked hard to be part of this team, Skills. We're undefeated and I'm not giving up my spot now.
Tim: Hey, Gimp, Coach wants to see you in practice pronto.
Luke: Why?
Tim: What am I, psychic?
Dan: Five-speed Mustang fully-loaded and it's all yours. I know this divorce has been hard on you, Nate. I just want to thank you for sticking by the old man. What's the matter? You're not supposed to look around at a gift, ya know.
Nathan: It's not a gift, Dad. This is a bribe.
Dan: A bribe, wow! Not exactly the thank you I was expecting.
Nathan: Ok, thanks for the car, Dad. Now I can get away from you whenever I want.
1.17 || Spirit In The Night
Peyton: (shows Haley dressed in cheerleader outfit to Brooke) Ta-da!
Brooke: Tutor girl, you look bitching.
Haley: Yeah, I kind of do, don't I?
Brooke: Now, get your suit hot tub therapy, both of you.
Nathan: Haley? What are you doing?
Haley: I'm kind of filling in for Teresa.
Nathan: Works for me. I gotta thing for cheerleaders.
Haley: Oh, yeah.
Haley: No way!
Peyton: Haley, come on. Remember when I made you those flyers for Open Mic Night?
Haley: That is really unfair. You're a born artist. I'm a born klutz, okay? I, I, almost drowned in the balls at Chuck E. Cheese.
Peyton: Okay, but if we don't find a replacement, we're gonna have to forfeit.
Haley: Don't you guys lose every year since grade school, anyway? So, what's the big deal?
Peyton: It's important to Brooke. Do you know how terrible it is to be disconnected from your best friend? Look, I really hurt Brooke, and I just don't want her to be disappointed again.
Peyton: God, it's good to have an escape route in case she tries to smother me with a pillow. How you doing?
Jake: Mmmm... having Jenny withdrawal.
Peyton: Yeah, but you need a weekend away to just relax and have a good time. It doesn't happen too often.
Jake: Yeah, true, but there's been some new developments.
Peyton: Oh, really, what are they? Sorry, cheer Nazi calls.
1.18 || To Wish Impossible Things
Mouth: 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.
Mouth: I guess I should've told my parents I'd be out late. I'm not sure this was a good idea.
Brooke: Mouth, you've gotta live a little.
Mouth: No, its not that. 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.
Brooke: Thanks, but this gets old pretty quick. Trust me.
Luke: Uhh, he wasn't there.
Haley: You sure, apartment 11?
Luke: Yeah.
Haley: Hmm, weird. I just got his voicemail. I guess he really isn't there. I told you Peyton was easy.
Luke: Come on, I'll take you home.
Haley: Okay.
Peyton: Nathan, I'm proud of you, you know, standing up to your dad, being a good guy for Haley. You've turned into the guy I always knew you could be.
Peyton: Nearly midnight. Looks like our date's almost over.
Nathan: Yeah, I think I was hitting on ya in the pool.
Peyton: You think you were?
Nathan: I don't know anymore. This whole good guy thing is new to me. I guess I'll always have feelings for you, Peyton, but I owe it to Haley to be a better guy than I've been. I just don't wanna be the kind of guy that cheats on her.
Peyton: Then don't be.
Haley: No, I told you, Nathan doesn't know. Ugh, God, what am I going to do, Luke? I'm so, I hate being away from him, I think about him constantly. I was in the middle of a history quiz yesterday and I just totally zoned out on him. Maybe we're not going to be together for the rest of our lives, but right now I'm in love for the first time and if I look at this tattoo 20 years from now and it reminds me of how I feel today, I think I'll be okay with that.
Haley: Yeah, so. Here's the thing, though. If your tongue comes anywhere near my mouth, I'm just never speaking to you again, though.
Luke: Hey, Haley, you're going to be okay. I promise you that.
Haley: Thanks.
Haley: Well, did you have fun tonight, slave boy? Thanks for playing along.
Luke: Look, Haley, I know we've grown apart a bit lately, and I know we have a lot ahead of us, but I just want you to know I'll always be there for ya. And if Nathan doesn't see how special you really are, well then he's an idiot 'cause I think you're amazing.
Haley: Thanks, Luke. Oh, technically, you owe me a goodnight kiss.
Luke: Hmmm... rules are rules, I guess.
Mouth: Well, I should get home. That stripper might call me.
Brooke: Mouth... (gives him a small kiss)
Mouth: Oh, right, for the charity thing.
Brooke: No, just 'cause.
Mouth: Hey, Brooke, thanks. This was the greatest night of my life.
1.19 || How Can You Be Sure?
Dan: 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.
Nathan: Haley, you got a tattoo for God's sake. Obviously, this whole thing with us means a lot to you. I just don't want to do anything to pressure you or drive you away. Even though sometimes I can't help it. Just like I can't help that I fell in love with you. 'Cause I did. I love you, Haley. And it scares me a little bit, but there it is.
Haley: Wow. There it is. (kisses him) I love you, too.
Haley: Nathan, I know I'm driving you crazy.
Nathan: No, you're not.
Haley: Do you think that I'm a tease?
Nathan: Stop it.
Haley: Well what do you think?
Nathan: I think that you're my girlfriend, and I like to spend time with you.
1.20 || What Is And What Should Never Be
Nathan: You're just lucky Tim's here. Because I have a thing for girls named Haley James.
Haley: Oh yeah, well, you're lucky Tim's here too.
Guy: Buy you a drink?
Brooke: 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.
1.21 || The Leaving Song
Nathan: You know, it'd be nice if a guy could get a little privacy in his own apartment.
Haley: 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: Haley...
Haley: You said they weren't real.
Nathan: They aren't.
Haley: This hurts me, Nathan.
Nathan: I get that. It's just a fantasy.
Haley: Was Peyton just a fantasy?
Nathan: That's just ... Well, I just stumbled on that, so it's no big deal.
Haley: What about the other half a dozen sites you stumbled on and bookmarked? Nathan, it's hard enough for me to compete with all the girls at school. What, now I have to be a porn star?
Nathan: No. These girls aren't real.
Nathan: Hales, look. A single afternoon together and not one punch thrown.
Haley: Lucas, can I talk to Nathan alone, please?
Lucas: Sure.
Nathan: What's up?
Haley: I was doing some research on the internet, and I found what my boyfriend's been studying.
Nathan: You know, my pride says, "Yeah. that's it. Just leave here knowing Haley is obviously intimidated by a sexual relationship." But my heart says, "Forget about your pride, you idiot. You love this girl. And even if you catch pneumonia, your ass is gonna stay out here in the rain until you convince her to come back" So come on, Hales. Just meet me halfway here?
Haley: Why should I?
Nathan: Because I'm sorry. Because I love you. And because you're looking really hot, standing out here in the rain and I'm thinking, "I have to kiss you."
Haley: Well, if you have to.
Hayley: Nathan, you're soaked. What are you doing here?
Nathan: I went for a run. I guess this is where I ended up. Haley, those pictures of Peyton don't mean anything. I saved those when we were still dating. I guess I should have gotten rid of them.
Haley: Is that it?
1.22 || The Games That Play Us
Haley: So you bring me into a creepy cemetery and tell me that you're leaving Tree Hill for good? Luke, who's gonna raid thrift stores with me and lie to the lost and found and claim stupid stuff, huh? Who's gonna do that with me now?
Lucas: Nathan. And me occasionally. Just not all the time.
Lucas: Haley, these people, they're dead.
Haley: Yeah, but if you keep yelling, the freaking zombies are gonna get us.
Lucas: Haley, I gotta tell you something.
Haley: What's her name and what did you do that you regret?
Lucas: No. I'm going to Charleston with Keith, Hales.
Haley: OK, for how long?
Lucas: Forever. Hales, I'm gonna move there.
Haley: Luke? Lucas, this is not funny. I told you I don't want to take this shortcut. Lucas? Luke, this is so not cool. Lucas Scott!
Lucas: Boogie Man!
Haley: Aaah! (punches Lucas in the gut)
Lucas: Damn it, Haley! You're gonna kill me! You know, Houdini died like that.
Haley: You deserve it, dumbass. I told you I don't want to take this shortcut.
Lucas: (voiceover) Some people believe that ravens guide travelers to their destinations. Others believe that the sight of a solitary raven is considered good luck while more than one raven together predicts trouble ahead.
Deb: How did we become so broken?
Keith: We fell in love, and at some point, the people we love forgot to love us back.
