One Tree Hill Season 1 Episode 4

Haley: (talking about Nathan) Luke, have you guys ever actually talked?
Lucas: Yeah, sure. We trade e-mails, too.

Dan: (talking about Nathan) He's a good kid.
Deb: Based on what? His scoring average?
Dan: Deb, I just want what's best for our son, what makes him happy.
Deb: Well, then something's not working, Dan. Because that kid I saw tonight is anything but happy.

Lucas: Hey, whatever you're up to... stay the hell away from Haley.
Nathan: We're just talking man. You know, kind of like you and Peyton.

Keith: Hey, you're still alive? Guess you didn't tell your mom about your little crime spree yet, huh?
Lucas: This morning. She's working on my punishment now.

Dan: Oh, I don't want to smother him, Deb. He's a responsible, disciplined kid.
Deb: Is he? Hmm. Your brother just called. Our responsible, disciplined kid got into a hit and run last night. In Peyton's car.

Lucas: The truth is I'm the reason you never got what you wanted. So that kind of nullifies my right to complain.
Karen: Is that what you think? I got exactly what I want, Lucas. Everybody seems to think I'm some kind of victim. I chose this. And if I had to do it over, you and I would still be having this conversation.

Deb: (to Karen) I wanted you to know… Everything that happened between you and Dan, I don't carry that weight around and I don't care to. Frankly, it looks to me like you've done a wonderful job raising Lucas. I've seen the two of you together and quite honestly, it makes me a bit jealous. Look, our two families… it's really awkward. I'm not deluded enough to believe otherwise. I know how it is with you and Dan and our two boys. There's a lot of history there. But it doesn't have to be our history.

Nathan: (to Haley) I came to you because you're the best tutor at the school. And you're not gonna tear me down. It's not exactly easy having everybody know you're failing. It's you or nobody else.

Brooke: (to Peyton) Don't let me have another beer unless I beg you. The same goes for boys.

Haley: Look, I've been thinking a lot about this tutoring thing. I'm sorry. I just don't think it's a good idea.
Nathan: Because of Lucas?
Haley: Well, obviously, yeah. I don't know what I was thinking. There's no good that can possibly come of this.
Nathan: Really? I thought I saw you guys fight back there.
Haley: Meaning what, that I should keep tutoring you to stick it to him? Maybe that's how they do things in Nathan land, but I'm not gonna do that to my best friend.

Nathan: Two decent games in a row, man. Getting better or just lucky? Team's got a party tonight. My parents' beach house.
Lucas: Why are you telling me that?
Nathan: Because I said the team, didn't I?

Karen: So are you excited?
Lucas: What? Because we won?
Karen: No, because there's running water in the locker room. We're gonna be roughing it until tomorrow.

Whitey: Damn it! This is a team, not a Chinese fire grill. Scott, you're playing selfish. Get out there and pretend you know each other.

(Haley and Lucas enter the beach house)
Haley: Well. I bet their plumbing works.

Keith: Hit and run, huh? That's beautiful. I could lose my license for this.
Lucas: I didn't know what else do. He just walked away.
Keith: You wanna tell me what it is with you and this girl? Huh? That you're willing to break the law for her? Nobody is worth that.
Lucas: I couldn't let Nathan get away with it the way he does everything else. And I sure as well could let him do that to her.

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?

(Karen is laughing as she washes Lucas' hair in the kitchen sink)
Lucas: Okay, how is this funny, mom?
Karen: How is this NOT funny?

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.

Haley: Yeah this is my house. Um... we're staying here while we renovate the mansion.
Nathan: (Laughs) It's not like I was trying to show off.
Haley: Wasn't that your default setting? Sorry.

Haley: I'm just saying you're so hypersensitive around each other. And… I get it. I just think that maybe everything he says, you take the wrong way, and vice versa.
Lucas: Okay, there is no misunderstanding what he said. And why are you defending him?
Haley: I'm, I'm just, I'm trying to bring some perspective. I mean…It's a really screwing situation and I'm sure having you around isn't any easier for him than it is for you and I think maybe if you guys could just talk…
Lucas: Okay, tell me that I'm not hearing this.
Haley: Then what are you doing here, Lucas? Obviously, you're looking for something, right?
Lucas: I'm not going to let him win.

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: (Everyone is watching a video of Karen and Dan at a high school dance) At least their dreams came true for one of them, right?
Lucas: Yeah, except for the happy part, right?

Deb: And you want to know why, Dan? Let me tell you. Because ever since you started this basketball thing, I feel like you've slowly been stealing him from me. You've made me feel irrelevant. I go out and I raise money for good causes and I matter out there. But at home you shut me out of his life.

Nathan: No you didn't see me do it because I was with Tim the whole time. Which is exactly what he's going to say if anybody asks him. He owes me. So it looks like it's your word against ours now. You can guess how that's going to go down.
Lucas: So you're just going to lie and walk away. What about Peyton? You know, your girlfriend? The car's registered in her name.
Nathan: Yeah, and you know what? Come to think of it, like you said, she was really drunk last time I saw her. Maybe she did this. But then again, all I see is a wrecked car and you.

Brooke: Lucas. Come play.
Lucas: What's the game?
Brooke: I never…
Vegas: And yet apparently you have.

Brooke: The High School Fearleader. It's a comic strip. Wait, this is insulting, right?
Vegas: My dog can draw better than this.
Brooke: Really, what guy keeps his hat on during sex?

Peyton: Just wondering if we're all going to end up like Karen.
Brooke: Who is Karen?
Peyton: That's Lucas' mom.
Brooke: Not without proper birth control we won't.
Peyton: That's not what I meant. She was our age when that tape was made, Brooke. In a lot of ways, we're just like her. Don't you think it was awful how she just let Nathan's dad treat her like crap?
Brooke: Yeah. But honey, that doesn't mean we're like her. Maybe it means you're like her.

Haley: The guys kidnapped you, trashed your court, threatened you with bodily harm. Party, yeah. Sure, why not?
Lucas: Okay, listen, I know it's all a setup, alright? But I'm not gonna let him screw with me. Whatever he dishes out he's going to get back double.
Haley: Do you think maybe- I mean, just maybe- he's had a change of heart?
Lucas: Hmm. That requires a heart.

Haley: I-I'm really fine.
Nathan: You're a little high on yourself, aren't you? Going around telling people you're all fine.

Nathan: Alright. My turn. Oh, let's see. Um... I've never.... I've never had a dad who wished I was a stain on the bed sheets.
Lucas: Then you're welcome to mine.
