One Tree Hill

Mouth: Did you see that?! Someday men will write stories about that block. Children will be named after it. Argentinean women will weep for it.

Mouth: Junk Morretti joins us now. Junk, you care to make a prediction? Junk: Sure. I predict you guys will be the two biggest morons out here.

Haley: I was attacked by a flock of crows last week! I'm totally serious! Lucas: By the way, it's a murder. Haley: What? Lucas: More than one crow is a murder . Haley: I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Lucas: A parliament of owls, an exultation of larks, a murder of crows. Haley: I think that is why people think you're weird, right there.

Whitey: I remember when Dan told me Karen was pregnant right after their senior year in high school. I told him he should honor his scholarship and go to college. Keith: I'll tell you one thing: you did Karen a favor. And Lucas, too. Now maybe you can do me one.

Haley: So, Luke, what are ravens? I mean, more than one? Lucas: An unkindness.

Lucas: (talking about basketball) I loved it and I was good at it. I mean, you ever had something that you knew that you were better at than almost anybody else? Peyton: Sex. (Lucas raises an eyebrow) Joke.

(talking about Lucas) Peyton: So what if this guy plays? Are you really that threatened? Nathan: I'm not threatened by anyone. Peyton: Well, then, why do it? Nathan: To prove I'm the best. Peyton: Ok, so, what if he wins? What does he get? Nathan: He gets you.

Peyton: So, why'd you just tell me all that? I mean, we don't even know each other. Lucas: Maybe that's the point.

Dan: So, you just walk away... Whitey: Well, well, Dan Scott. Dan: Half the team suspended, Nathan triple-teamed the rest of the season, and you say nothing. Whitey: The inmates will not run the asylum. Dan: You're despicable, you know that? Letting the dreams of this team just vanish. You're full of crap! Whitey: It comes with old age, Danny, constipation.

Haley: The magazine pages are sticky again, little perv. Hey, Luke! You've been reading this? Lucas: I don't know, Haley. Is that the "Why do I hang out with these people?" issue, because you're on the cover of that, right? Haley: Actually it's the "My best friend is an idiot" issue, and there you are.

Karen: We've asked nothing of you, and you have delivered in fine fashion.

Lucas: Come on. Let me give you a ride. I'll let you insult me. Peyton: First of all, you don't know me. Second of all, you don't know me. God, why are guys such jerks?! Lucas: Guys or Nathan? Peyton: Him. You. Lucas: I don't know. We share the same father.

Lucas: Can I ask you a question? Peyton: It's a free country. Lucas: Why are you a cheerleader? No offense or anything, but you're about the least cheery person I know.

Nathan: Don't worry, dad. Your dreams are still safe.

Lucas: (to Whitey) I say people who pray here are wasting their time. God doesn't watch sports.

Whitey: I'm still the coach and this is still my team. Nathan: Whatever you need to believe.

Lucas: No foul, basket counts, besides you won't score again.

Nathan: What do I want? What do you want, man? I mean, other than my girlfriend and my spot in the lineup, huh? None of us want you on the team, man. I don't want you. The guys don't want you. My girlfriend sure as hell doesn't want you. But here's the deal. You and me, one on one. You can name the time and place. If you win, I'll quit the team. If I win, you crawl back in your little hole, and you remember your place in all this. Time and place, baby. Time and place.

Keith: When I was a kid, my father took me to Raleigh to see David Thompson play. I was nine years old. I couldn't have cared less about basketball. But when Thompson stepped on the court, he was so young, so quick, and just so graceful, that I was mesmerized. I couldn't take my eyes off him until late in the game. And I look up at my dad, and he's got tears in his eyes. 14,000 strangers and my father's crying because he's so beautiful. He played with such poetry that he made us feel like we were a part of it. You have a gift, Luke, and it's a crime not to let people see it, to hide it in the park. It's a damn shame.

Lucas: Guys kept teasing me about it... about how Nathan's dad was my dad, too. So I asked my mom, and she said he wasn't. But I'd get home, and I'd hear her crying in her room. I knew it was true. So I never went back. I told my mom it was because I didn't want to have to see his face. But, it was mostly because I didn't want her to have to.

Karen: Then you said something I'll never forget. You said you felt bad for the kids who never figured it out, because when they grew up and had kids of their own, there wouldn't be any gifts on Christmas morning. You're a good kid, Luke. But sometimes I feel like you're sitting out your life on account of me, and I don't want that for you. My past is not your future, okay?

Dan: Yeah. And this bet tonight is that a joke, too? Or would you really quit the team? You have everything to lose here and nothing to gain. Nathan: Sometimes what you call "everything," I call "nothing."

Lucas: Did you change your hair? Karen: If by "change" you mean "drag a brush through it", then yeah.

Peyton: So, what did you bet? Lucas: I win, Nathan stays on the team. Peyton: Why? Lucas: Because it's the last thing he wants. And anyway, it's not about him.
