Lucas Scott quotes from One Tree Hill

Lucas

I didn’t want to be like him and I was afraid that I’d become him if I played. In the gym, I felt like he had a piece of me. I never felt like that on the playground.

Karen

Well, I’d say he’s taken enough from us. I took the night off to watch my son play again. The way that he used to when he loved the game more than anything.

Lucas

Oh, I think you got the wrong car.

Brooke

Nah. Don’t mind me. I just have to get out of this uniform. So, uh, anyways, I’m Brooke. But you probably knew that. Can I tell you that that last shot was awesome? How’d it feel? Good, huh? You know it did.

Lucas

[Throws a can of spray paint at Nathan] You left that at the court.

Nathan

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Lucas

You'll need that to paint over your title in the gym 'cause I’m taking it.

Lucas

So I'm confused. You want to be anonymous and you let the world watch you on a web cam.

Peyton

The world isn't watching me... but I guess you are.

Lucas

Okay, the point is.... you want to express yourself but you don't want people to know it's you.

Peyton

I guess I'm just a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside a bitch.

Lucas

Or maybe just a tortured artist.

Peyton

Look, I don't need you defending me and my work. I don't need you analyzing it or interpreting me either. And in fact, I'm pretty sure I don’t need you at all.

Lucas

Pretty sure?

Lucas

So, if anything were going on with you .. anything important or weird, or confusing .. I mean, you could still be honest with me about that, right?

Haley

Yeah, of course.

Lucas

[He tosses her hat on the counter] You left that in Peyton’s car.

Lucas

I saw you with him.

Haley

Who, Nathan? God, he got a good grade on that math quiz. It was nothing.

Lucas

I want to believe you, Haley. I do. But I don’t think you’re telling the truth.

Haley

I am telling the truth, Lucas. There’s nothing going on. [Lucas sees her bracelet that Nathan gave her]

Lucas

Nice bracelet.

Karen

When I found out I was pregnant, Dan already had a basketball scholarship, and nothing was going to get in the way of that. But then something strange happened. Right before classes started, Dan changed his mind. He said he’d finish the semester and…we’d get married. So when I went into labor and you appeared, the nurse asked for your name, and I said it was Scott. Keith was there, and when the nurse brought you in, she let him hold you. I’ve known Keith my whole life, and that’s the only time I’ve seen him cry. Your father never showed up.

Lucas

So to hell with him. I don’t want his name.

Karen

Keith’s a Scott too, you know.

Lucas

So this Haley thing… you know, for some reason, she feels like you’re not full of crap. Don’t take advantage of that.

Nathan

I’m not going to.

Lucas

I know you’re not. Because if you do, you’re going to live to regret it.

Nathan

Bring it on. Hey, listen. Look, man, you didn’t have to get in that car when those guys grabbed me. Especially after you warned me not to.

Lucas

Right, whatever. You know the way I see it, I mean, if they would’ve taken you out, who the hell else am I gonna have to fight with, right?

Nathan

Same person I have.

Nathan

I remember this one summer, I was playing little league baseball, and I was the pitcher, and my dad was the coach. Anyway, this kid, Billy Lyons, he was a great hitter. Everything he hit was a home run. So, you know, he got up to the plate and there was nobody on base, so I just walked him. Four straight pitches, nothing even close to a strike. So my dad calls a timeout, comes to the mound, and I’m thinking he’s gonna say like, smart move or good thinking son, something like that. But instead... instead he grabs me by the arm, and he kicks me in the ass as hard as he can. I mean, he literally took me by the arm so that I wouldn’t like, go flying, he kicked me so hard. Then he brought Stevie Planking in to pitch, sat me on the bench, never mentioned it again.

Lucas

That sucks.

Nathan

Yeah. So just think about that the next time you’re feeling sorry for yourself.

Brooke

We have a hot tub.

Lucas

Brooke, I...

Brooke

We have a naked me in the hot tub.

Lucas

What if I told you there was someone else?

Brooke

Well, then normally I'd suggest a threesome.

Lucas

So why'd you call me, anyway? Why not Nathan or one of the guys?

Brooke

Because I knew you'd come through.

Peyton

Lucas, I made a mistake. When you said you wanted to be with me, I got... I got scared, and I pushed you away, but-

Lucas

Peyton-

Peyton

But the truth is, I want all the same things that you want, I do... and I want them with you.

Lucas

It's not that hard. Peyton and I just don't make sense as a couple. She said so herself.

Haley

And then took it back!

Lucas

What are you, her lawyer?

Haley

I'm just... look, I've seen Peyton really try to make an effort to turn things around. It just sucks she got bit the first time she reached out to somebody, you know?

Lucas

Haley, I'm not the bad guy here, okay? Peyton's just too...hard.

Haley

Unlike Brooke, who I understand, is nice and easy.

Lucas

Excuse me. She makes me laugh. She's honest. She's not afraid to be herself. Plus, she's not covered head to toe in issues.

Lucas

You're sure your parents won't come home?

Brooke

They could, but this isn't their jacuzzi.

Lucas

Brooke, whose house is this?

Brooke

I don't know. Does it matter? (brooke kisses lucas)

Brooke

All work and no Brooke makes Luke a boring boy.

Lucas

Hey. [they kiss]

I got you something.

Lucas

Hmm, but I don't have anything for you.

Brooke

And yet you do. Couple songs on there made me think of you. Of course most things do.

Lucas

I didn't know you were into Travis.

Brooke

Are you kidding? I love Travis. He's the best.

Lucas

Who?

Brooke

That Travis guy... are we not in the same conversation? [School bell rings] Umm, check out tracks 8 and 13. [Kisses Lucas] Bye!
