One Tree Hill Season 6 Episode 4

Haley: Some people like to buy their headstones before they die… like way before. Like the backpack that we got you the week before school started. It's like that. Grandpa Dan's just being prepared.
Jamie: To die in a week?

Carrie: People don't realize how immensely important it is to be a nanny. And they never appreciate true devotion. It's enough to drive you crazy.
Deb: Well, in my case, my son didn't appreciate who I was sleeping with.
Carrie: Yeah, they get so touchy about that stuff. The heart wants what it wants. But then again, if it were me, I would do whatever it takes to stay in that little boy's life.

Olivia: Was there a history of abuse in your family? Growing up, I mean.
Brooke: Not unless you consider a high credit-card limit and no supervision abuse.

Deb: Even if Nathan somehow got over this, what would your parents say?
Skills: Well, my last serious girlfriend was Bevin. So I'm sure they'll say this is a step up.

Skills: Deb broke up with me.
Haley: Well, I guess you can tussle with a cougar, but you don't get bit.
Skills: Why everybody think it's a big joke?
Haley: Deb's just done a lot of wacky things in her life. We never thought you'd be one of them.

Brooke: I bought a gun.
Olivia: That's not uncommon for attack victims. It gives them a feeling of control. Unless you're having thoughts of hurting your mother.
Brooke: No. I mean, I'm not crazy. But it occurs to me that it wouldn't bother me if she were dead. And that can't be healthy, right? To feel like if your mother was dead you wouldn't miss her, that you might be better for it.

Haley: I remember the first time I saw you. I was sitting at the geek table, and you were sitting over there, at the jock table. And if we had played by the rules of high school, we wouldn't be sitting here, at this table.
Nathan: Okay, all right, I get it. You and I weren't the most conventional couple, either. Are you ever gonna stop trying to make me into a better person?
Haley: It's not likely.

Nathan: I don't really have anything to say to you.
Skills: Then don't. Just listen. I know me and Deb together sounds like some freaky porn thing, and maybe it started that way…
Nathan: This isn't helping.
Skills: But the thing is: your mom makes me happy, and I think I make her happy, too.

Lucas: (to the Ravens) All right, look, I know you don't feel much like playing basketball tonight. And I get it. When I was in high school, someone close to me was taken away. And I couldn't understand how a game could matter anymore. But my coach was a wise man. He told me that basketball was more than just a game, that it had the power to heal me if I let it. He was right.

Lucas: Every day we face the same truth, that our time here is short. And to honor the fallen we must live our own lives well. We must take the high road when we can and allow our common loss to bring us together. I think that's the way Q would have wanted it. And while tonight we miss our fallen teammate, friend, loved one, we commemorate him for all time. No Raven will ever wear the number 44 again. And for as long as this gym stands, Quentin Fields will be here with us. No one can take his place on this team. And no one can take his place in our hearts. Moment of silence for number 44, Quentin Fields.

Brooke: Someone died last week. And I wasn't close to him, but my friends were, and yet, in the midst of all their grief, I felt nothing. I just felt cold. And I realized I'm turning into the one person I do not want to become. I'm turning into you.
Victoria: What do you want me to say, Brooke? That I was a failure as a mother? You got everything you wanted.
Brooke: Except your love.
Victoria: When I was your age, I dreamed of having a clothing line, of having a business, of all the things you have. But I stupidly fell in love. And one morning, your father and I got a little surprise. I told him I didn't want kids. It was never the plan. But he wanted a son more than anything. And as soon as I got fat, he had an excuse to jump into any bed he wanted. And when we had our little baby girl, I made sure I would never be pregnant again. If I couldn't have my dream, your father couldn't have his, either.

Lucas: (to the Ravens) Years from now the record books will show that the Ravens lost to the Wildcats on this night. But here's something that those records won't show, something that no one in that gym will ever forget. That the four-man Ravens made the Wildcats fight, and scratch, and claw for every single second of that win. And in doing so they showed that a team will always be more important than statistics. When your grandkids ask you about this game, you tell them that you played hard for Quentin Fields, that you stood tall and you did it to honor your friend. You should be proud of yourselves, men. I know I'm proud of you.

Skills: This might be the greatest loss I'll ever see.
Lucas: Yeah, well, sometimes it's not about winning. Sometimes it's about healing.

(Talking to Nathan)
Lucas: You know, it's funny. All these years that we called him "Skills"... I always thought it had something to do with basketball.

Brooke: Congratulations, Victoria. Now you have a company and no daughter. You got your dream.

Carrie: It's a good thing you can't talk, Chester. Otherwise, you'd be my dinner tonight. Mmmmm... tasty.

Lucas: (voice-over) The hardest part of saying good-bye is having to do it again every single day. Every day we face the same truth; that life is fleeting. That our time here is short. And to honor the fallen, we must live our own lives well.

Haley: Congratulations on your first Tree Hill catfight. I've had a few in my time.
Sam: Spare me the female bonding, okay? I may be new, but I've heard all about Mrs. James-Scott, a cheerleader who dated the star of the basketball team. That is, when you weren't on a rock tour. Your life must have been really tough. So just don't pretend like you know anything about my problems, okay? See you in detention, Hannah Montana.

Nathan and Jamie walk into the gym
Skills: Hey, Nate. Can we talk?
Jamie: Hey, Grandpa!

Jamie: It is because she was kissing Uncle Skills?
Nathan: You knew about that?
Jamie: Yeah, they tried to pretend he was getting something out of her eye, but they were just being all mushy.
Nathan: Yeah, and how does it feel to be scarred for life?
Jamie: Fine. I like Nanny Deb. I like Uncle Skills. So what if they like each other?
Nathan: It's a little more complicated than that. You know your Nanny Deb is also my mom.
Jamie: Yeah, but I let you kiss my mom.
Nathan looks confused
Nathan: Eat your soup.
