One Tree Hill

Peyton: Hey you roomie! So, I've got a plan on how we deal with Victoria. Brooke: Really? Peyton: Ready? I'll get the shovel and you'll get ten feet of rope. Too much? Brooke: Maybe.

Lucas: (voiceover) Much as some of us fight it, our parents have a mystical hold over us, the power to affect our thoughts and emotions the way only they can. It's a bond that changes over time, but doesn't diminish, even if they're half a world away, or in another world entirely. It's a power we never fully understand. We're left only to wonder that when our time comes, what kind of hold will we have on our children?

Alice: Hey, if you can't fix this crappy feed, than pick up your next check at the unemployment office. Mouth: It's not his fault. Alice: What was that? Mouth: It's not his fault the feed's off. You know, if you'd let people here do their jobs right in the first place maybe things would run better. Alice: In my office. (once the two of them are alone) Never talk back to me in front of the crew again. (pause) But that was kind of hot.

Peyton: Hi Mrs. Davis. I just want to tell you, I think it's really great you're supporting Brooke's decision to stay. I know it means so much to her. Victoria : Of course I support my daughter. But let's be clear. The only reason that Brooke returned to this backwater town, is because her looser friend couldn't cut it in Los Angeles. That's why I'm here, to make sure that my daughter is not completely exploited by her parasitic so called friend. So you get your little act together before you ruin her life too.

Lucas: I'm building a team. You play your part and do as I say or you are gone. So we're clear. Quentin: Look we both know I'm the best shooting guard in the state. So why don't we just cut the crap, uh? I'm not playing no zone defense. Matter of fact, I might not play no deffense at all. And on offense, I need my minutes. So I'm play when I want and I'm sit when I want. And that weak-ass point guard? Find somebody that's gonna feed me the ball, man. You do that, you can stand on the sideline, hold your little clipboard, and watch me work. And when we win, I might even let you take the credit. Oh, you can call me "Q" coach. I like you man, but, uh, that's how it's gonna go. Just so we're clear.

Victoria: Good God. What is that? Brooke: That is my assistant Millicent. Victoria: Tell me again why you have an assistant, who dresses like a Slavic bag lady.

(Skills entering Mouth's bedroom) Mouth: Do you ever knock? Skills: What's that? Mouth: I don't smell anything. Skills: Perfume. Yeah, Channel 5 Elixir - choice of a classy older woman. Ooh! Claw marks! (Pulling Mouth's blanket) Somebody tussled with a cougar last night. Mouth: You're out of your mind. Skills: It was your boss lady, wasn't it? Uhhuh! Damn, I knew it! Office dragon lady by day, sex machine to entry level chumps by night. Mouth: I don't know what you're talking about. Skills: My boy you need to ask for raise! Whoo!

Jamie: Daddy can we play ball again now? Haley: No you already off sweetie maybe later. Jamie: I could play everyday. He shoots he scores, straight.. to the hole glass! (dunks the ball into the bowl)

Peyton: I'm really sorry about Jason. Haley: It's okay. I've worked with self-centred musicians before. Chris Keller ring a bell. Peyton: Only his own. (laughs) Haley: Ha...Ha...Ha.

Peyton: Brooke... you're doing great. (smiles)

Lucas: (voiceover) My name is Lucas Scott. Four years ago I graduated from high school with my friends and we all went our separate ways. Recently we've all come home. My ex-girlfriend, Peyton, is starting a new record label and she's also getting to know my girlfriend Lindsey... sort of. Haley just hired a nanny, for her son Jamie, because her husband Nathan has been in a wheelchair but now seems to be recovering in more ways than one. Mouth started a job and other things with his new boss Alice. Brooke opened a local store for her fashion line but she also found that sometimes your problems follow you home. Like I said we're all home now, maybe hoping that the things we were looking for, were here in Tree Hill all along.

(Lucas coming in and sees Peyton and the bartender talking) Lucas: Hey, ready to go? Peyton: Hey, uhm actually I think i'm going to stay so, goodnight. (Whispers in her ears) Lucas: He is not good enough for you. (Lucas walks outside and Peyton rushes after him) Peyton: Hey don't do that. Lucas: Do what? Peyton: He's not good enough for you? I don't want you saying things like that to me, Lucas. That's not fair to me, it's not fair to Lindsey either!

Victoria: Beautiful things die in Tree Hill. Why do you think we left?

Lucas: (reaching out to touch Peyton for a brief moment) Hey, how is the new band going? Peyton: I thought it was gonna be all good times and groovy tunes and nobody warned me about obnoxious self-righteous musicians. Lucas: (again touching her shoulder) Look, you've always been capable of a lot more than you give yourself credit for.
