Andy: (after meeting Lucas) I thought you were six... Not 6'1".
Lucas (voice over): Oliver Wendell Holmes once said; Many people die with their music still in them. Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live... Before they know it... time runs out.
Lucas: What do you want Felix? Felix: You like my sister? Lucas: You know I do. Felix: Too bad. Stay the hell away from her. Lucas: Is that an order? Felix: No, it's a warning!
Peyton: So, hell of a night huh?
Haley: Yes, I'm still shaking! Thank you so much for everything! And I'm sorry about earlier.
Peyton: No, dude, you totally redeemed yourself after indie boy flaked on me!
Haley: Ha! You wanna get outta here?
Peyton: Yes but, I gotta clear out some stragglers. (walks into a room)
Rick: Hey! Relax, they're cool. In fact, Peyton and I did a couple lines the other night. Ain't that right Peyton?
Jules: Well… that date had everything. Good conversation, dancing, fisticuffs. Keith: Yeah, I'm sorry about that part. Jules: So, I was thinking. You called me your girlfriend tonight. Keith: Yeah. Jules: Well, if we were exclusive, just you and me, would you be Okay with that? Keith: I'd be great with that. Jules: Good. Me too. So what do you say boyfriend? Wanna sleep over? Keith: Boy!
Deb: So! How'd we do? Karen: Well, it's a little early for exact numbers but, a few thousand nights like this and I think we can retire. Deb: Ah, works for me! Karen: Ah, Deb, I need to ask you a question. Deb: Of course. Karen: I mean, it's, it's stupid and considering the source, I shouldn't even ask, I mean, I probably don't even have the right ask but... Deb: Karen, we're friends. Karen: Right. Yesterday, Dan told me that you slept with Keith. Is it true? Deb: (lying) No! Of course not!
Mouth: G'night Brooke. I love you. Felix: Hey. I was just checking on her. Mouth: She's fine. Felix: You like her, huh? Mouth: Yeah. But guys like me don't get girls like her and, guys like you don't care. Felix: That's not true. Look man, I owe you an apology. Friends? Mouth: Just treat her right. Brooke: Felix? Felix: Hey girl. You're a mess. Brooke: You took care of me? Felix: Yeah, sometimes you gotta break the rules.
Chris: Predictable sappy ballad. How's it feel? Haley: Uh, great till ya just… dissed me! Chris: No, look, you've got a good sound. And watching you tonight, I can definitely see us doing something together. Haley: Really? Chris: Yeah, I never joke about music. Here's my number. I got some studio time coming up. Haley: Oh, wow Okay.(laughs) Oh! I just remembered THUD Magazine wanted me to do a…interview with them. It's probably gonna take a little while and... Nathan: Nah, it's cool. Haley: Okay. Nathan: This is your night. Go, enjoy and I'll see you at home. Haley: Are you sure? Nathan: Yeah, I gotta work early tomorrow anyway. Haley: Okay. I love you. Thanks. (she leaves) Chris (to Nathan): You have any idea how many guys in the room wanna nail your wife right now? (laughs)
Lucas: Alright, well I'm gonna go home, Mom. And don't worry, I'm going straight home. Karen: Alright, no street fighting. Lucas: Right. Uhh, nice to meet you Andy. Andy: Yeah, yeah, you too.
Anna: How're you doing? Lucas: You should see the other guy. Anna: Well I've got my mom's car so, I'm gonna take off. Lucas: Are you sure? Anna: Yeah, but, thanks for punching Felix! I've wanted to do that for years. Lucas: Anytime! Anna: Call me tomorrow? Lucas: You tell me. Anna: Call me tomorrow.
Lucas: So did you have fun tonight, Mom? Karen: So if you, don't count the part where my son started punching people. Lucas: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ruin your night. Karen: Yeah, well I didn't mean to screw up your week. Then again, without the use of your cell phone, MP3 player and the car, it could suck for you. Trade! One week. Two, if you complain.
Felix: Stop it Mouth!
Lucas: Hey! You got a problem with my friend?
Felix: Maybe I got a problem with you.
Lucas: Yeah, I think you do. You're lucky, I'm not gonna do this in here.
Felix: That's too bad. Cuz I am.
Anna: Felix! Stop it!
Anna: Stop it! Felix!
Felix: Get your damn hands off me!
Keith: Not until I get you outside.
Felix: Oh right, everyone here's related. I get tossed cuz you're the guy's uncle.
Keith: No, you get tossed because you're an ass!
Brooke: Karen never said anything about drinking outside of her club.
Keith: So, how was your other date before the cancellation? Jules: Why? You wanna ask him out? Keith: No, just didn't know you were seeing other people. Junk: If you're one of them, I'd shut up. Keith: Okay, you know, that's a good point. So how's it going Junk? Junk: All good. Here you are, Mr Scott plus one. VIP, over twenty-one wristbands. Jules: I didn't know you were so hip Keith. Keith: Yeah, well neither did I.
Andy: This is definitely the first time I've felt like the oldest person in the bar. Karen: Second oldest. Oh, Andy, this is Peyton. Peyton, this is, my friend, Andy. Peyton: (Shakes his hand). Hi. Andy: Hi. Um, well I'll try to keep out of your hair. You, you didn't happen to bring little Lucas tonight did you? Karen: Oh, well. Yeah, um, he's wondering around here somewhere. Andy: Great, great. I can't wait to meet him. Peyton: Little Lucas? Karen: His words, not mine. Peyton: So, what's the story with you and your, friend. Karen: You know, I'm not sure how to describe it. Peyton: Put it this way; are you two getting…? Karen: Peyton! Peyton: Cuz if you were, I'd describe it as pretty lucky. He's a fox!
Brooke: Hey, Miss Roe! Club looks great. Karen: Uh, let's see the wrist Brooke. No alcohol! Are we clear? Brooke: Yes. Karen: Good. Now go have some fun.
Brooke: OK, my thighs are itching, and not so much in a good way, I think I'm allergic to polyester. But it's fine, I've had a few drinks. Haley: I should have a few drinks because, do you see all these people? Brooke: You're gonna be fine!
Brooke: But I want it so bad! Haley: No. It's not in the budget. Besides, if you get the purse, then you can't afford the outfit for the opening. Brooke: Screw the opening. I'll stay at home with the purse. Haley: What's going on, you alright? Brooke: Yeah, I just feel a little light headed. Haley: Why? Brooke: I sold some stuff. Haley: What stuff? Brooke: Some, blood. Haley: Blood! You sold blood? Brooke, you really think that's a good idea? You actually don't look very well. Kinda, pasty. Brooke: I'm discount shopping! I'm gonna have to get used to looking like crap. And besides, I needed some extra money for the dress. Haley: Which is only thirty-six bucks. Brooke: Shoes. Haley: Eighteen dollars. Brooke: Eyeliner to go with the shoes. Haley: Seven fifty, which is what? Sixty one fifty with tax. I mean please, you have plenty left over for- Brooke: Alcohol! We'll stop by the liquor store on the way home. Haley: I really don't think you should be drinking after you just gave blood. Brooke: No! The woman told me to re-hydrate myself and besides, if I'm gonna be seen in these shoes, I'm gonna need a drink or two.
Andy: Beware of strangers bearing gifts. Karen: What is that Andy? Andy: Well look, uh, every cool club needs its own t-shirt right? So uh, here you go. Karen: There are sweet. Andy: Oh, Lucas. That reminds me. Uh, I got him one too. Karen: Oh, um, Keith, this is Andy. My professor. Andy: Nice to meet you Keith. Keith: Yeah. Yeah you too.
Karen: Dan. How're you feeling? Dan: Good. Karen: Good, um, Deb's not in till four. Dan: I came to see you. Karen: Okay. Dan: To apologize. I was hoping you'd forgive me for the things I've done to hurt you. Karen: Can I be honest with you Dan? You're creeping everybody out! This Phoenix bird thing, this sensitive thing that you're pulling, no one's buying it. Dan: I'm sorry you feel that way. But I understand. Oh, by the way, Deb says Keith hasn't been hanging around here lately. I hope it's not because of what happened. You should know that I've chosen to forgive him. Karen: For what? Dan: For sleeping with Deb. Oh, I'm sorry Karen, I really thought that you knew.
Anna: Hey you. Lucas: Hey you! You know, I had a great time the other night. Anna: Me too. Listen, can we talk? Lucas: That doesn't sound good. Anna: It's not like that. It's just, I love spending time with you. You know that, but, being dropped in a new place is hard enough without jumping into a new relationship too. Lucas: You must really hate me. Anna: Stop it! I'm just saying, let's not rush things. Let's hang out, see where it goes. Lucas: Did Felix say something? Anna: No, it's not that. Promise. Lucas: Okay, friends. Anna: With potential.
Brooke: Come on, pony up people! There's kids in this world a lot more miserable than you! Thank you. God bless. Peyton: Look at this, one over ripe cantaloupe, two number three pencils, what kinda Writer is this? Brooke: God bless you. Change for the needy? Haley: Brooke, I had no idea you were so, charitable. What's the cause? Brooke: Just, needy people. God bless you. Peyton: Brooke. I recognize the photo. It's from an old for cramp medicine. Brooke: Wow! Homeless and PMSing, poor girl. Haley and Peyton: Brooke! Brooke: Alright. The money's for me. I'm the needy one as in I need some things for your club opening. Haley: Do you realize how wrong that is? Brooke: Sort of, but, you know, what am I supposed to do for money? Peyton: Try getting a job. Brooke: Right, doing what? Haley: Anything, a number of things. What are your skills? Brooke: I dunno. I'm good with guys. Dates, dating. Haley: Yeah, and? Brooke: Sex but... Peyton: That would make you a hooker. Brooke: Thank you. Haley: I'll take you shopping on a budget.
Haley: Hi! Lucas: Ready for your big debut rock star? Haley: Please don't remind me. Nathan: She's ready. You know, didn't you once tell me that there was such a thing as over preparation? Haley: Yeah, for a math midterm. This is like, avoiding public humiliation. Lucas: Hales, you're gonna do great.
Peyton: Hi. Chris: I think you got the wrong store. Forever 21's just down the street there. That's Jeff Buckley. You heard of him? Peyton: Who hasn't heard of Jeff Buckley? Chris: That man's the reason I became a musician. You know why? Because he never sold out. Peyton: Why stop there? Didn't he also drown in a river? Chris: Listen, if you want me to play your show, you're gonna have to ask nicely. Peyton: I don't need this. Chris: Sure you do. Why else would you be here at eight a.m. on a school day? Peyton: Okay, here's the deal, the turn out for auditions was kind low so, if you want... Chris: Read my Writer. Peyton: What is this? Chris: It's like, a list of artist's demands. Peyton: I know what a Writer is. Camomile tea, one small vegetarian pizza, Oh! One box Magnum, extra large sized condoms. Are you kidding! Chris: The regular ones cut off the circulation. We got a deal here or what? Peyton: You go on at nine. Chris: Have fun at school.
Brooke: You're still here. I thought we had an understanding, once the hooking-up is over, you go home. Felix: Damn. You can make a guy feel used. Brooke: Oh I'm sorry. Well you could just cancel our little arrangement and save your pride. Felix: Nah. Being used is fine. Brooke: Yeah, that's what I thought. So why don't you get your used butt up outta my bed, Pool Boy! I have a big day ahead of me and you're in my way.
Peyton: (to Anna) Tree Hill rule number one: people in this town tend to have complicated histories.
Brooke: You took care of me? Felix: Yeah. Sometimes you have got to break the rules.
Haley: I don't really think you should be drinking after you gave blood. Brooke: No, the woman told me to rehydrate myself. And besides, if I'm going to be seen in these shoes, I'm going to need a drink or two.
Chris: (talking about Jeff Buckley) That man's the reason I became a musician. You know why? Because he never sold out. Peyton: Why stop there? Didn't he also drown in a river?
Andy: (as Lucas walks away) So I guess that t-shirt I bought him is gonna fit a little snug. Karen: Oh right, that. Andy: Why didn't you just tell me Karen? I mean, your son's a teenager. Why did you think that would matter. Karen: Because it matters to me. Look Andy, I like you, but tonight, seeing you sitting there with Lucas, it just seemed so normal. Like friends. Andy: So? Karen: So, that makes sense to me. I mean look at us (turns them to look at their reflection) I mean, does this picture look right to you? Andy: Yes, to me it does. But i think the more important question is, does it feel right? (kisses her) Karen: That feels good. Andy: Yeah, it does. The rest, doesn't matter.
Anna: (to Lucas) Thanks for punching Felix. I've been wanting to do that for years.
Felix: (to Keith as he is dragging him off Lucas after they started fighting) Get you're damn hands off me! Keith: Not until I get you outside. Felix: Oh right, everyone here's related. I get tossed because you're the guy's uncle. Keith: No, you get tossed because your an ass.
Mouth: Hey Brooke, I like your dress. Is it new? Brooke: Unfortunately. It's discount. Mouth: Well it's hard to believe.. because you look beautiful. Brooke: Why can't guys be more like you Mouth? I mean, you're loyal, sweet, you bought my doll house back for me. Mouth: It wasn't that big a deal. Brooke: Yes it was. You know what you are. You are a really great little brother. (kisses him on the cheek)
Peyton: Hey, what are you doing? Chris: Not playing. Because playing to a bunch of mall rats who hate anything they can't pogo to ain't what Chris Keller's about. Peyton: Really. That would have been really nice for you to tell me before I put you up on stage. Also, it would have been nice to know that you talk about yourself in the third person. Chris: Alright I get it, curly's pissed, but if I hadn't done what I did, would she be up there right now? (We see Haley up on stage and she starts to sing)
Haley: Hey Chris, this is my husband, Nathan. Chris: Married in high school. Yeah, that'll work. Peyton told me you bailed on the gig. Guess I was wrong about you.
Brooke: Hey Theresa, nice dress. Theresa: Uhm, thanks. Brooke: Why does it look so familiar? Oh, I remember, because it used to be mine. Theresa: Brooke, I asked you before I bought it and you said it was ok. Brooke: Yeah, well that's before I knew how your a$$ would look in it.
Keith: So how was your other date with the cancellation? Jules: Why, you wanna ask him out? Keith: I just didn't know you were seeing other people. Junk: If you're one of 'em, I'd shut up.
Karen: Lucas, this is Andy. Andy, this is my son, Lucas. Andy: Um...little Lucas? I uh...I thought you were six. Not...six one.
Brooke: I'm not jealous. I just figured you'd have gone for someone with a little more class. Felix: Why? I went for you didn't I?
Whitey: (to Nathan) Maybe you're not taking a step forward as a basketball player...but you're taking two steps forward as a man.
Peyton: You're Felix's sister right? Anna: On the days that I claim him, yeah.
Lucas (voiceover): Oliver Wendell Holmes once said: "Many people die with their music still in them. Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live…Before they know it…time runs out."
