One Tree Hill Season 6 Episode 3

Haley: I don't know what to say to any of you. I didn't know what to say to my 5-year-old son who loved Quentin just as much as many of you do. So if you want to talk about how you're feeling...
Student: What's the point? I mean, he's gone, right? Some idiot just shot him, and now he's gone forever. So what's the point?
Haley: There is no point.

Dre: I'm gonna be a musician when I grow up.
Jamie: I'm gonna play basketball.
Dre: Yeah, I might do that, too. My mom makes the best spaghetti in the world.
Jamie: My mom makes good macaroni and cheese.
Dre: My grandpa can whistle really loud.
Jamie: My grandma Deb wears really tight pants.
Dre: My favorite animal is a cheetah.
Jamie: Mine's a rabbit... or a tiger... or a raven.
Dre: Yeah, a raven.

Nathan: Well, not to mention wakes and funerals really creep me out. Yeah, for you, it's clowns. For me, it's old dead guys. You know, my mom's grandfather died when I was around Jamie's age. And so my whole family's at the wake, and we're kneeling in front of the casket. And I'm really scared because there's this old dead guy just a few feet away from me. Anyway, my mom's crying, and my dad... he says a couple of words, and then he leans forward, and he kisses the corpse. And now I'm totally freaked out. And then he turns to me, and he says, "Kiss your great grandfather, son."
Haley: He didn't make you?
Nathan: Yeah. It's my dad. Kiss the 100-year-old dead guy in makeup.
Haley: Dan sucks.

Skills: I just feel numb, like I'm in a bad dream, and I just want to wake up. I just want Q to wake up.

Peyton: Life's too short, Brooke, to fight, to be miserable, to let the bitter ones change how awesome you are.

Haley: (to the students) You know what? You guys asked me what the point was to all of this school and literature... life. And I said there was no a point. And that's not true. What I should have said was, "I don't know," because the truth is, not long ago, I sat right where you are and wondered exactly the same things. When something that tragic, and evil, and unexplainable happens, like losing someone forever... I still wonder... just like you do.

Haley: (to the students) This is a literature class, and that's what writers do. We put pen to paper in times of devastating tragedy. And we just try and make sense of it. Maybe we'll find clarity in some of those words. Maybe we'll find peace.

Student: (reading what Haley wrote on Quentin's desk) "He who does not weep does not see."

Dan: (to Carrie) You lost a son. What was his name? You know you can't replace him with my grandson. Somewhere deep down inside you know he's not coming back. No matter what you do, your son is not coming back.

Samantha Walker: Quentin Fields was a basketball player. He was also a son, a brother... Somebody's teammate, somebody's friend. I didn't know Quentin Fields, and I guess now I never will. Did you ever wonder what it would be like if you weren't you anymore? If you were suddenly gone, how would your world react? Whatever you imagined is wrong. There's nothing romantic about death. Grief is like the ocean... it's deep and dark and bigger than all of us. And pain is like a thief in the night. Quiet, persistent, unfair... Diminished by time and fate and love. I didn't know Quentin Fields, but I'm jealous of him. Because I see how his absence has affected the people that did know him, so I know that he mattered to them, and I know he was loved. People say Quentin Fields was a great basketball player. Graceful, fluid, inspiring. They say on a good night it almost seemed that he could fly... and now he can.

Mrs. Fields: I wanted to thank you for standing up for my boy the way you did in that last game. It's a shame that we have to meet like this.
Lucas: Yes, ma'am, it is.
Mrs. Fields: Coach Taylor, Quentin always had so many nice things to say about you. And you too, Nathan. I really appreciate you boys coming here. But I mostly wanted to say thank you to this one. nods toward Haley My son has always loved basketball but I got to tell you, When I came home and found him reading a book, it just about gave me a heart attack. He said, Mama, Mrs. James-Scott, she don't play. He said she's almost as bad as you are. I realize that you are all trying to help my boy live up to the greatness God gave him and you should be proud of that.
Haley: You're strength is inspiring.
Mrs. Fields: My strength is from Jesus Christ. I am gonna miss my baby boy for the rest of this life... But I know we are gonna see him again and our faith will see us through.

Nathan: The thing is, you and I have been down similar roads. We were in the same cliques first. We both felt the same pressures, same expectations. Our parents were like children. And we both grew into kind of bad versions of ourselves way too fast. So I think you know and get it.
Brooke: They never really gave us a chance did they? Our parents?
Nathan: They didn't know how. Look the thing is you made your dream happen, all right? And even though I didn't quite get there, when it was taken away from me I dealt with it alone. And it was stupid, and selfish, and wrong. So if your mom tries to take your dream away from you and you feel that same pain like I did, I've sort of been there, okay? And I'm gonna be kinda pissed off if you don't come talk to me about it. Anyway, thank you for coming today. It means a lot. I know you didn't know Quentin, but it doesn't surprise me that you're thinking about other people when all this stuff is going on with you. That's not bad for a girl who never had a chance.

Peyton: Oh God, Luke, the wedding can wait. I mean this is what a marriage is, right? The good times and bad? I just wish I could help you somehow.
Lucas: Peyton, you've helped me so much. without saying a word. And I love you.

Jamie: I want to go. Quentin was my friend and I want to say goodbye too.
Haley: It's gonna be really sad, buddy.
Jamie: I'm already sad.
Haley: You're right. Quentin was your friend, and a good one. You should say goodbye.

Carrie: When life gives you lemons, don't be a sour puss!

Brooke: One out of every five hundred people gets assaulted or raped. There were thirty thousand assaults in our state alone last year. Seven thousand robberies, three thousand murders, six hundred rapes... It's official: Life sucks and then you die. (catches sight of Jamie)... I'm sorry. It's a tragedy. I know it is. I... I'm sorry. Excuse me.

(Lucas addresses the team)
Lucas: Quentin was a great kid. He was the leader of this team, and I know that he was your friend. I wish I could take this pain away. I can't, and I'm sorry.
Skills: It's okay to feel angry. It's okay to feel pain. It's even okay to hate the person who did this. But when that anger, and that pain, and that hate becomes too much for you, you come see me, Nate or Luke. Understand? We are your family, and we are going to get through this together.
Nathan: You guys know that Q was working out with me, helping me with my game. And that is how I am going to remember him. Strong, happy, playing the game he loved. I want you all to find your best memories of Q and hold on to them, cause that is where he still lives. And he always will.

Haley: I don't know what to say to them. I'm 22 years old and I'm supposed to make sense of this? I can't.
(Nathan hands her Quentin's copy of Les Miserables)
Nathan: You reached Quentin. You'll reach them too.

Lucas: I feel like I let him down. I asked him to be a good example and a good teammate. And then I go and get suspended?!
Skills: Yeah, but you was defending him though.
Lucas: I was failing him... he's got a little brother. He's got parents.
Skills: How does a mother ever breathe again?

Brooke: I can't have people coming and going like it's some kind of Rachel Gatina crack den!

Nathan: No, he's not okay. He... His body stopped working, and he's gone now. He's gone to heaven, okay? And we're not gonna be able to see him anymore.
Jamie: What about the Ravens? Isn't he gonna play anymore?
Haley: Jamie, he died honey, he can't play anymore. Mommy and daddy are incredibly sad about it, so it's ok if you are sad too. But I know that he loved you very much, and I know that you are going to miss him, but we are really going to miss him too.
Jamie: But what about his cape?
Haley: Jamie, honey. Listen to me.
Jamie: He's going to like it. You'll see.
