Lucas Scott quotes from One Tree Hill

Lucas

Quentin, uh... was a great kid. He was the leader of this team and I know that he was your friend. I wish... I could take this pain away, but I can't and I'm sorry.

Skills

It's okay to feel angry. It's okay to feel the pain. It's even okay to hate the person that did this, but when that anger and that pain and that hate becomes too much for you, you come see me, Nate or Luke. Understand? We are your family, and we gonna get through this togeather.

Nathan

You guys know that Q was working out with me, helping me with my game. And that's how I am gonna remember him......strong, happy, playing the game he loved. I want you all to find your own best memories of Q and hold onto them. 'cause that's where he still lives, and he always will.

I wanted to thank you for standing up for my boy the way you did in that last game. It’s a shame that we have to meet like this.

Lucas

Yes, ma’am, it is.

Coach Taylor, Quentin always had so many nice things to say about you. And you too, Nathan. I really appreciate you boys coming here. But I mostly wanted to say thank you to this one. My son has always loved basketball but the day I can tell you, the day I came home and found him reading a book, it about gave me a heart attack. He said, "Mommy, Mrs. James-Scott, she don’t play. She almost as bad as you are." I realize that you are all trying to help him live up to the greatness God gave him and you should be proud of that.

Haley

Your strength is inspiring.

My strength is from Jesus Christ. I am going to miss my baby boy for the rest of this life but I know we are going to see him again and our faith will see us through.

Lucas

It’s really nice having you here. Especially now. I know we haven’t really talked much about the wedding.

Peyton

Oh God, Luke, the wedding can wait. I mean this is what a marriage is right, good times and bad? I just wish I could help you somehow.

Lucas

Peyton, you’ve helped me so much. Without saying a word. And I love you.

Peyton

I love you.

Lucas

It’s funny, you know all these years we called him Skills, I always thought it had something to do with basketball.

Nathan

That's not funny.

Lucas

Kinda funny.

Carrie

They say we leave this world just the way we came into it - naked and alone.

Lucas

So, if we do leave with nothing, what, then, is the measure of a life? Is it defined by the people we choose to love?

Nathan

Or is life simply measured by our accomplishments?

Brooke

And what if we fail? Or are never truly loved? What then? Can we ever measure up?

Dan

Or will the quiet desperation of a life gone wanting drive us mad?

Lindsey

What could possibly be more important than Chicago?

Lucas

My wedding. It's Peyton. We're getting married.

Lucas

I never meant to hurt you. Not then and not now.

Lindsey

I know. the thing is, I saw it coming all along. I just tried to wish it away. It wasn't fair to me or to you.

Lucas

Well, I should go, I'm gonna miss my flight.

Lindsey

Okay. You forgot something. [hands the novel Comet to Lucas]. You know the first time we met right here. I told you I was pulling for the couple in the book. Goodbye Lucas.

Lucas

Why do you think he’s avoiding admitting that he’s your father?

Peyton

I don't know, maybe I’m wrong, maybe he’s not. Either way- I will be alright, don’t worry about me!

Lucas

You know I will.

Wow. You know this turnout isn't exactly inspiring me to read your book, Lucas.

Lucas

Well, whose brilliant idea was it to put this signing in the science-fiction section?

It's a book about space, right?

Lucas

No. Actually um, the comet's a metaphor. It's a love story.

Huh. Well, you know what? We could've had this thing out in the middle of main street. We wouldn't have got any more traffic.

Lucas

Thanks for the support!

Lucas

Hello?

Peyton

Hi… How's my favorite author?

Lucas

Just thinking about his fiancee.

Peyton

Oh, well, should I give you 5 minutes?

Lucas

No, it's okay. Actually, I'm just packing.

Peyton

For Seattle?

Lucas

No, actually I'm going home, the book tour has been canceled.

Peyton

What? What happened?

Lucas

It's okay, it doesn't matter.

Peyton

No, it does matter, you worked so hard for this!

Lucas

It’s okay Peyton! I mean, I still have you and that’s all that really matters! Besides, this book brought us back together so… it’s the best thing I’ve ever written.

Peyton

You come home to me then. I love you.

Lucas

I love you too. I’ll be home soon.

Dan

Cemetery called. Apparently someone gave my tombstone a makeover. Any idea who'd do something like that?

Lucas

What happened in the hallway?

Dan

I assume you mean-

Lucas

Keith. Yeah. I've been asked to adapt my novel for a movie. They want me to write what happened. I can't do it. I can't see it, and I can't understand it.

Dan

Keith was holding Jimmy Edwards in the hallway. He turned and I shot him dead before he could say a word. Keith was a hero. You want to write the truth, you write it that way.

Lucas

Why'd you do it?

Dan

Every good story needs a villain, Lucas. I'm sorry but I'm yours.

Peyton

Hi. I have to tell you something.

Lucas

Peyton, are you okay?

Peyton

I know it's late.

Lucas

It's okay if it's late. What's up?

Peyton

I'm not sure that I can call you my fiancé anymore. 'Cause I was thinking maybe I'd start calling you my baby daddy.

Lucas

Are we ... ?

Peyton

I'm having your baby, Lucas Scott. Our baby. We're pregnant. And oh God, I know it's sudden. I just really want you to be okay with it, because i'm very, very ok with it. And oh, it's early, I mean it's too early. It's too early to even tell anybody. I just...

Lucas

I love you...I love you peyton

Peyton

I love you too

Peyton

Hi. You're home. How did it go?

Lucas

Long story. How are you?

Peyton

We're good.

Lucas

(Lucas kiss her stomach) Yes we are

Peyton

Hey baby. Daddy's home

Peyton

I always dreamed I'd be wearing Keith's ring, and I know how much it means to you...so that's the ring I want to wear for the rest of my life.

Lucas

Are you sure?

Lucas

Now, it's right where it belongs.

Peyton

And it will be forever.

Peyton

Hi, I'm here to read for the part of Peyton Sawyer. "First of all, you don't know me. Second of all, you don't know me. God, why are guys such jerks?"

Too old, but she would make a great Deb.

Lucas

Um... she's the real Peyton
