One Tree Hill

(in class) Haley: Alright. Good morning. This is, um, actually my first official day as a teacher and you're my first official class so.. Congratulations!

Skills: Soap box car race.Man, when I was a kid I always wanted to do this! Jamie: Me too!

Brooke: It's my life, I'm taking a stand!

Quentin: This ain't over! Lucas: It's "This isn't over"!

Jamie: Mama, I'm gonna race in the soap opera derby! Haley: What!?

Peyton: (to Nathan) Okay. You know what? First of all, shut up. And now take a look around. You have a life that any one of these kids would die for. And what's really sad is that most of them probably will.

Brooke: You ever had a wine hangover? Jamie: I had a floppy-eared bunny named Chester.

(Lucas and Peyton at Tric) Lucas: I talked to my mom and, we decided we want you to have it. Rent-free under one condition: that it becomes office space for your new label. Peyton: Luke. Lucas: And I've already talked to Brooke, so I don't think you have any more excuses. Peyton: You know that four years ago I would have jumped at this. Lucas: But what? It doesn't seem so cut-and-dry any more? Cause it's not. I wrote a novel and I can't write a second one. Mouth's boss apparently hates him, Nathan missed his dream by a breath. It's life. So, you couldn't change the world from Los Angeles. Change it here. I know you can do it, and so do you. Just think about it.

Lucas : (To the team) My name is Lucas Scott. I'm the new head basketball coach of the Tree Hill Ravens. This is Antwon Taylor. He's the new assistant head coach. You want our credentials? (points to the state championship banner) They're hanging right there. I must congratulate you. For some of you, it took only four years to destroy the legacy coach Durham took 35 years to build. Nice work. So, as of today, all 12-roster spots are available. It doesn't matter if you played last year. In three days, we'll have our final roster. If you want to be on it, then I would advise you go hard. Skills? Skills : I would definitely go hard.

(Brooke sneaks in Lucas's room and jump over Lindsey, thinking that she is Lucas. They both scream) Brooke: You're not Lucas! Lindsey: You're Brooke Davis! Brooke: Yeah. Hi. You're... Wearing me. Clothes Over Bros is my line. Lindsey: Yeah, I... I love it. Brooke: Thanks. Lindsey: And you are so pretty in person. Brooke: Thanks. So are you. Lindsey: Okay, this hasn't happened to me since college. Brooke: Right. Okay. (Lucas enter the room and sees both Brooke and Lindsey in his bed) Lucas: Um... Wow, uh, this hasn't happened to me since college. Brooke: Hi, Luke. Lucas: Brooke Davis.(Brooke and Lucas hug) Oh, I missed you!

Skills: Yo kid, talk to me about the cape. Jamie: I'm a superhero. Skills: Is that right? Okay then why don't you fly into the kitchen and get me a beer? (Jamies runs into the kitchen) Lucas: So, what's your take on the team's former leading scorer? Skills: Quentin? The kid's pretty good. Lucas: The kid's really good. Now we just got to figure out if we can get him to play a team game, you know? (Jamie runs back) Jamie: Can I have pudding? Skills: You can read, right? (Jamie nods) Skills: If the pudding says "Junk" or "Fergie", you can have it.

Skills: So what do you want to do today? Jaime: I don't know, play I guess. Skills: Yeah, me too. Jaime: Don't you have a job? Skills: What are you? The man? I don't see you paying any rent. Jaime: That's because I don't have any money Skills: Whatever makes two of us. Now let's just go over the drill. If we see any hot chicks today, who are you? Jaime: I'm an orphan who needs surgery and you're paying for it 'cuz you're rich. Skills: Good man.

Lucas (voiceover): My name is Lucas Scott. Four years ago I graduated high school with my friends. Brooke Davis moved to New York City and found success. Peyton Sawyer went to Los Angeles, success didn't come so easily. I wrote a novel and fell for my editor, Lindsey. My brother Nathan saw his dreams vanish, leaving his wife Haley and their son Jaime more fragile than ever. Things have changed in four years, but in many ways this is just the beginning.

Haley: You ok? (Nathan says nothing) Haley: I'm fine wife. How was your day? Oh, you know, husband, my day really sucked but thanks for asking.

(Walks into the gym) Quentin: Hello there, Mrs. James-Scott.

Haley: (to Nathan, about Jamie) He is four. And he needed his dad. And his dad wasn't there. Nice work... Dan.

Nathan: You don't get it, do you? I used to be somebody. Haley, do you understand that? Do you understand what that means? I used to be Nathan Scott and I was great. I should've walked away, okay? I know that. And I didn't do it. And now I'm nothing and I have... nothing! Haley: You have nothing? You have a beautiful son who is here. I am here. You have got to figure out who you're gonna be in this, Nathan, 'cause this version of you, does not work for us. I can not keep living like this, okay? Do you understand what I'm saying? One more night like this, Nathan, and I promise you... you will have nothing.

Peyton: I was there Lucas. I was so proud of you but we hadn't talked in a long time and I saw you with Lindsey and I figured you guys were together which clearly you are. I like her. I do but do you remember when you first joined the Ravens and you took all my sketches to Thud without even asking and do you remember what you said that night when you first entered the gym? Lucas: Your art matters. It's what got me here. Peyton: Yeah, it's like you touched my soul and a few days ago I was ready to quit again but you saved me with the words you wrote about me in your novel. So if your struggling writing the next one you should know that your art matters Lucas. It's what got me here.

Peyton: Well. Brooke: Well. Oh don't look away, second and third greatest nights in your life just walked back into your world. Peyton: You looking all rock star totally does it for me. Brooke: It's very heroine chic Nate, I like it. Nathan: What are you guys doing here? Brooke: Well, Lucas tells me you can walk but you need a little incentive so we have come up with a drill. Peyton: For every step you take we kiss.

Jamie: Can Uncle Mouth help me pimp my ride? Skills: I don't think so, see Uncle Mouth finally got a J O B. Jamie: That spells job. Skills: Man, you getting way too smart. It was a lot easier when you was three.

Nathan: You know son, there's going to be a lot of times in your life when you're afraid. Being afraid is OK, but if you don't work through that fear, you might miss out on some pretty great things. Jamie: Are you afraid daddy? Nathan: Sometimes. You? Jamie: Sometimes. Nathan: (about the racing) Well, we'll do this together.

Peyton: Luke, I knew we weren't meant to be. Lucas: Well, I should get home. See you.

Haley: The rest of your life is a long time and whether you know it or not it's being shaped right now. You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate or bad luck or bad choices or you can fight back. Things aren't always going to be fair in the real world, that's just the way it is but for the most part you get what you give. Let me ask you all a question. What's worse than not getting everything you wished for or getting it but finding out it's not enough? The rest of your life is being shaped right now with the dreams you chase, the choices you make and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time and the rest of your life starts right now.
