  Brooke: (to Lucas) You've got to wake up soon because I need you to take care of Peyton.
  Peyton: (to Haley) I just... I can't do it anymore. And it's not like we can leave her with Rachel.
  Brooke: (to Lucas) Besides, you're really good for her.
  Peyton: (to Haley) And I'm not sure she can find her way without you.
  Brooke: (to Lucas) What do you say? How about you wake up and help her out?

  Lucas: You don't know? You know, for a spirit, you suck at this.
  Keith: What do you want me to say?
  Lucas: I want to know if there's a heaven. If there's eternal life and all that stuff. I want to know if we're ever gonna see each other again.
  Keith: We're seeing each other now aren't we?
  Lucas: Ah, man. You really suck at this, Keith. [edit]
• Lucas: I have to go back.
  Keith: Are you sure?
  Lucas: I never told Peyton I love her. I'm gonna go back. [edit]
• Brooke: I thought I'd find you here. I remember when I found you down here when your mom died.
  Peyton: That was 8 years ago. You know Ellie used to watch us down here. She told me that once.
  Brooke: It's not gonna be like that this time, Peyton. You're not gonna lose Lucas and Haley the way you lost Ellie and your mom.
  Peyton: Or like I lost you? I miss you Brooke.
  Brooke: I'm still here.
  Peyton: Can we be friends again please?
  Brooke: Sure.
  Peyton: Like before?
  Brooke: I'm sorry Peyton, I don't think so. Like before is gone...
  Peyton: (In a very low voice) Yeah... [edit]
• Peyton: I just wanna believe everything will be ok. Lucas and Haley and the baby, I just really really wanna believe it's gonna be ok.
  Max: I know! I tell you what, middle bin, four albums in, that's where your answers are.
  Peyton: Latoya Jackson?!
  Max: Alright, 5 albums in!
  Peyton: La Rocca.
  Max: Track 10. It's on me.
  (Peyton smiles and goes towards the door when Max calls her name)
  Max: Hey Peyton! You're way too young not to believe it's gonna be ok.
  Peyton: Thank you. [edit]
• (Praying in a chapel)
  Nathan: I know I did a horrible thing, OK? But I deserve to be punished for that, not Haley. She’s a good person. She’d be a great mother if... Look, I know it must suck how people are always asking for things and never giving anything back. And I know that Keith saved me at that bridge, but Haley saved me long before the accident. There has to be a miracle left for her. Please… Please don’t take her from me. Don’t take our child from her. [edit]
• Keith: Do you really believe that Luke. Look into your heart, OK. It may be flawed physically but it's a good one and it's what makes you you. Luke you've changed other people's lives by opening it up. Don't close that off. Luke just look around this hallway, you were here that day what did you see... Open your eyes Luke, open your eyes the way you opened your heart. Open your eyes Luke. [edit]
• Keith: It's OK Luke. I didn't come here to make you believe in me. I came here to make you believe in you. [edit]
• (To Haley)
  Nathan: Hey baby, you know how you're always telling me that you're not going anywhere. Well I need to hold you to that right now, OK. Just I need you to come back to me. Listen! Just move one of your fingers if you can hear me, OK? Just move one of those beautiful fingers and let me know that you’re still here with me. [edit]
• (To Lucas)
  Peyton: You're always saving me. Please let me find a way to save you. [edit]
• Keith: It's an easy thing saying I love you to people that matter. You never know when you might lose them or when they might lose you. [edit]
• Keith: The next time you think being the best version of yourself dosen't matter you look into Peyton's eyes and everytime you do you'll know that it has and that it does. [edit]
• (Voiceover)
  Lucas: Have you ever wondered what marks our time here? If one life can really make an impact on the world? Or if the choices we make matter? Sometimes in order to move forward you have to go back. In this case just a few minutes. [edit]

• Keith: Journey, I used to love Journey.
  
  Journey is an Arena rock band formed in 1973 in San Francisco, California. [edit]

• Episode Title: Songs to Love and Die By
  
  Songs to Live and Die By is the name of the 2006 album from the band, 8MM. [edit]
