One Tree Hill

Dan: Listen to me. It's my fault you emancipated yourself. I know that. It's my fault your mother's in rehab. Somewhere along the line, I started hurting the people closest to me, and I haven't figured out how to stop. Nathan: You wanna stop being a dick Dad, then just do it. Dan: I want to. I figured if Lucas moved in, I'd be my best self. The funny thing is, he's a better man than I'll ever be. All these years I've been the bad guy for abandoning him. It seems I actually did him and Karen a favor.

Peyton: I've been trying to believe the best in people lately, you know? Like hoping Nikki will just back off, or that Jake's lawyers will find a way to get him out. So I'd to believe that even someone as assy as your dad could be different if he really wanted to. Nathan: Yeah, but you know all the crap he's pulled in the past. I mean, doesn't it sounds crazy to try to be a family again? Peyton: I'm... I'm probably not the right person to ask. Nathan: I mean, I wanna know what you think. Tell me. Peyton: I would give anything to have one more day with my mom and dad together.

Nathan: What happened with Haley and Chris is not your fault. You love music, Peyton. Don't back away from your dreams. Or you could end up so bitter you just destroy all the people around you.

Joey: Haley, look. I like you. I mean, you've been a major pain in my ass, but in a good way. So, I mean, if you gotta go, I can't stop you. But I may need to replace you. Haley: Are you serious? Joey: The question is, are you? Come on, I mean, you've got talent. I mean, you could be more than just a duet girl. Haley: I know, but... Joey: Look, this is a business, and I'll work like hell to make you a star. But you gotta make a decision: How bad do you want the big time?

Peyton: One thing I've learned from all this Jake craziness is you've gotta grab every second you have with the people you love. Just don't forget about your "ho's". Brooke: Come here. You are the best friend ever, P. Sawyer. But honestly: if Lucas and I couldn't make it as a couple before, what makes you think we can now? Peyton: Well, for one thing, I wouldn't make out with him this time. Brooke: Huh. Peyton: And another, he's not the same guy. And you are definitely not the same girl.

Brooke: What's wrong with you? Nathan: Nothing, nothing. I just... You were in this weird dream I had during surgery. Brooke: Yeah, and... Nathan: And, ah, we were kinda showering together. Brooke: Don't be embarassed, everybody has that dream about me. (to Tim) Don't have the dream now, Tim!

Nathan: Welcome home. Bill. Bill. Final notice. Way final notice. You ever robbed a bank, Luke? Lucas: Hey, you got friends. We'll help. Nathan: Yeah, that sounds great. All I need is money for these bills and a hundred thousand dollars to pay the hospital. Lucas: Wow, would've been cheaper if you'd just hit the brakes, huh? What happened out there, Nathan?

Karen: Dear Keith, I don't know if you're looking at email, but I need to say something. It's hard for me not to march in and take charge when the people I love are hurting. But I get it now... that's not what you need. If you have to go through this alone, I'll respect that even if it's not what I want. I won't call or write again. Just know that I'm here for you. Now and Always. Karen Keith: Thank You. Keith.

Lucas: Listen, we've been so caught up in Peyton and Nathan, I feel like I haven't really checked in with you. How you doing? Without Felix around. Brooke: Fine. He was not the guy for me. Lucas: Well I'm sure the guy's out there somewhere. Brooke: Maybe. But I'm scared to open up my heart like that again. Lucas: Isn't the alternative even scarier? Brooke: Sure I get lonely sometimes. That's hard. But I guess that's the price you pay for figuring out what you really want, right?

Lucas: Yeah. You know, we did really well for Nathan last night. Particularly since you snuck in your allowance check from your folks. Brooke: Oh, don't think of it as allowance. Think of it as three skirts, four tops, two bags, and a lot of really hot lingerie. Lucas: That had to be tough for you. Brooke: It just seemed like it was time to spread the commonwealth. Lucas: That's gonna mean a lot to Nathan. I'm just sorry you had to give everything back. Brooke: Well, not everything. Do you think I'm terrible for keeping these really cute wedges?
