Lucas Scott quotes from One Tree Hill

Lucas

I thought you might want that back.

Peyton

I already have it.

Lucas

So do I. Tracks 8 and 11, totally you, so what are you doing? Some sort of Cyrano thing for Brooke?

Peyton

Why would I do that?

Lucas

Why? I asked you first.

Peyton

Look, don't underestimate Brooke. She's full of surprises. That's part of her charm.

Lucas

She told me to listen to tracks 8 and 13. Well, there are only 12 songs.

Peyton

Honest mistake.

Lucas

Yeah, I guess. I mean, I'm sorry about this morning with your dad. I had no idea he was there.

Peyton

It's because he usually isn't.

Lucas

I thought you were happy with your setup?

Peyton

That's what I tell him. I make up stuff in the emails. I send him about how happy I am on my own and how responsible I'm being even when I'm not. He loves his job, you know, and after my mom died, it's just not fair to ask him to give that up, but I miss him when he's away.

Lucas

You tell him that?

Peyton

He worries. It's just better not to.

Lucas

[after kissing] Peyton...I...

Peyton

Don't! It was stupid, OK? You're with Brooke now.

Lucas

[pause] Yeah.

Peyton

We just...we got carried away. It didn't mean anything.

Lucas

It didn't?

Peyton

Of course it did.

Lucas

You warm enough?

Peyton

I'm okay. I should probably get the heater fixed in here, huh?

Lucas

You know, I could have Keith take a look at it for ya. He's really good at that stuff. Do you want me to stop and get some coffee?

Peyton

I'm fine, thanks. Thanks for doing this for me, Luke.

Lucas

That's what friends are for, right?

Peyton

Yeah.

Lucas

Peyton, so how's everything with your dad?

Peyton

Good, thanks.

Lucas

Yeah, and uhh, how about us?

Peyton

That moment where we kissed right? I've been feeling guilty about it all weekend.

Lucas

Me, too.

Peyton

Listen, let's just bury it and pretend it never happened. Okay?

Lucas

Sure.

Lucas

Hey, Peyton.

Peyton

Oh, hey, Brooke had to take off early, so she's expecting you to call her.

Lucas

Okay, you gotta a sec?

Peyton

Umm, yeah, what's up?

Lucas

I lied, okay? I can't bury what happened between us.

Peyton

Lucas, Brooke is my best friend and she's your girlfriend.

Lucas

I know, but I...

Peyton

But nothing, okay? That's where we're at right now. It's not fair to her to make a big deal out of what happened. It didn't mean anything. I'm sorry.

Lucas

Peyton....[He kisses her] See, it does mean something.

Peyton

It can't.

Lucas

But it does.

Peyton

Lucas, you're dating Brooke.

Lucas

I know, and she's great, okay, but she's not you. Look, ever since you came to my room and told me how you felt about me, I've been hiding with Brooke. Okay, I've been trying not to get hurt again. I don't wanna hide anymore.

Peyton

Even if we could be together, what makes you think it would work?

Lucas

'Cause I feel it in my heart, don't you?

Peyton

Yes, so what are we going to do?

Nathan

Hey, man. [Talking to Luke lying in the hospital unconscious] I came here to talk to you. So, I'm here because, uhh, everything is screwed up. Look, I know you don't trust me with Haley, but I like her a lot, you know. She's hurting a lot now, too. She needs you to open your eyes, man. She feels like she can't be forgiven, and I'm sort of in the same place. This accident, it might not turn out so bad, ya know. You can take a break from the game and people's expectations. I wish I had that chance. It might be hard to believe, but maybe you're the lucky one. You can get out. [Luke wakes up] Hey.

Lucas

Water. [Nathan gives him some water] What are you doing here?

Nathan

It's a long story. Let me get your mom.

Brooke

Hey, I want you to know that I'm here for you and whatever you need and if she's not home, I might actually give you a sponge bath.

Lucas

Actually, I can't do that for awhile.

Brooke

What, bathe?

Lucas

No, you know, sex.

Brooke

Wow, that sucks. A little cardio maybe just what ya need. What?

Lucas

I'm going to need some time to figure some stuff out.

Brooke

Whatever you need, I'm here for you.

Lucas

Yeah, see, that's the thing.

Brooke

Are you breaking up with me?

Lucas

I just think it's the best thing for right now.

Brooke

Maybe for you.

Lucas

Brooke, I'm sorry.

Brooke

Apparently not enough.

Lucas

Peyton.

Peyton

I was so afraid you weren't going to wake up.

Lucas

What? And miss out on being with you? (They begin to kiss.) When you didn't come to the hospital, I began to worry that maybe you changed your mind.

Peyton

No, it was just too weird with Brooke there. I started to tell her about us the night of your accident and then Haley called and everything changed....

Lucas

I figured. That's why I ended things with Brooke today.

Peyton

You did? Did you tell her why?

Lucas

No, I told her I needed to focus on getting well.

Peyton

We need to tell her the rest.

Lucas

Sure just give me a few days to strength up and then we'll tell her together like we planned. Besides, we're not exactly going to be dating in the mean time, ya know.

Skills

You sure you should be pushing yourself so hard, man? I thought you were supposed to be in physical therapy?

Lucas

All they do is let me stretch right now, and I figured I get back in here, I build my muscle, and be back in shape twice as fast.

Skills

Or risk messing yourself up for good.

Lucas

Whose side are you on anyways, huh?

Skills

I'm on your side, man. Look, all I'm saying is, dawg, what are you rushing back to?

Lucas

Look, I worked hard to be part of this team, Skills. We're undefeated and I'm not giving up my spot now.

Hey, Gimp, Coach wants to see you in practice pronto.

Lucas

Why?

What am I, psychic?

Lucas

Brooke, I'm sorry.

Brooke

Yeah, sorry you got caught.

Lucas

No, I didn't mean to hurt you.

Brooke

You did not just say that to me.

Lucas

Look, we didn't plan any of this. It just happened.

Brooke

Go to hell!

Lucas

Brooke, I never meant to hurt you.

Brooke

That doesn't really matter, Lucas 'cause in the end, it all hurts just the same.

Lucas

Uhh, he wasn't there.

Haley

You sure, apartment 11?

Lucas

Yeah.

Haley

Hmm, weird. I just got his voicemail. I guess he really isn't there. I told you Peyton was easy.

Lucas

Come on, I'll take you home.

Haley

Okay.

Haley

Well, did you have fun tonight, slave boy? Thanks for playing along.

Lucas

Look, Haley, I know we've grown apart a bit lately, and I know we have a lot ahead of us, but I just want you to know I'll always be there for ya. And if Nathan doesn't see how special you really are, well then he's an idiot 'cause I think you're amazing.

Haley

Thanks, Luke. Oh, technically, you owe me a goodnight kiss.

Lucas

Hmmm...rules are rules, I guess.

Haley

Yeah, so. Here's the thing, though. If your tongue comes anywhere near my mouth, I'm just never speaking to you again, though. [They kiss and hug]

Lucas

Hey, Haley, you're going to be okay. I promise you that.

Haley

Thanks.

Nathan

Hales, look. A single afternoon together and not one punch thrown.

Haley

Lucas, can I talk to Nathan alone, please?

Lucas

Sure.

Nathan

What's up?

Haley

I was doing some research on the internet, and I found what my boyfriend's been studying.

Nathan

That's just- Well, I just stumbled on that, so it's no big deal.

Haley

What about the other half a dozen sites you stumbled on and bookmarked? Nathan, it's hard enough for me to compete with all the girls at school. What, now I have to be a porn star?

Nathan

No. These girls aren't real.

Haley

Luke? Lucas, this is not funny. I told you I don't want to take this shortcut. Lucas? Luke, this is so not cool. Lucas Scott!

Lucas

Boogie Man!

Haley

Aah! [punches Lucas in the gut]

Lucas

Damn it, Haley! You're gonna kill me! You know, Houdini died like that.

Haley

You deserve it, dumb ass. I told you I don't want to take this shortcut.

Lucas

Why are you whispering?

Lucas

Haley, these people, they're dead.

Haley

Yeah, but if you keep yelling, the freaking zombies are gonna get us.

Lucas

Haley, I gotta tell you something.

Haley

What's her name and what did you do that you regret?

Lucas

No. I'm going to Charleston with Keith, Hales.

Haley

OK, for how long?

Lucas

Forever. Hales, I'm gonna move there.

Haley

So you bring me into a creepy cemetery and tell me that you're leaving Tree Hill for good? Luke, who's gonna raid thrift stores with me and lie to the lost and found and claim stupid stuff, huh? Who's gonna do that with me now?

Lucas

Nathan. And me occasionally. Just not all the time.
