Lucas Scott quotes from One Tree Hill

Peyton

What is that?

Brooke

This, Missy blond girl, is the Brooke Davis version of 'Spin the Bottle'. Only now, it's 'Spin the Body'. Watch. OK, you two have to make out. And last but not least; we have 'Five Minutes in the Elevator'.

Lucas

Isn't it 'Five Minutes in the Closet'?

Brooke

Yeah, if you're in junior high. But the great part about this is; you know how everybody has their elevator list?

Skills

What?

Brooke

Your elevator list! Come on! The list of people you're allowed to have sex with if you're ever stuck in an elevator with them.

Skills

"Halle Berry."

"Beyoncé."

Peyton

"Jack Black."

Mouth

Brooke Davis.

Lucas

I think everybody…knows that Nathan and I got off to a pretty sketchy start. Nathan; mutual hatred sound about right?

Nathan

Worse. (They laugh.)

Lucas

Yeah. You see, then a funny thing happened; Haley. She showed me that you can find the good in everybody, if you just give them a chance. The benefit of the doubt. Sometimes, people disappoint you. Sometimes they surprise you. But you never really get to know them…until you listen for what’s in their hearts and that’s what Haley did with Nathan. That’s what we should do for them. So for you skeptics out there, prepare to be surprised. So this is to my…brother and my little sis in-law, and in love.

Whitey

What are you doing here?

Lucas

I just wanted to say hello.

Whitey

You've said it.

Lucas

Nathan got into High Flyers. And, he couldn't have done it without you, so I ... I just thought you'd care to know.

Whitey

Son, the mistake you're making is you think I care. About you, about the team, about anything. I lost the only thing I cared about a long time ago.

Lucas

You know, I have this picture in my room, of the team, from your 500th win. Now the man in that photo looks like a guy to me that still cares about something. We need you coach... Not just to win games. We need you in our lives. Have the surgery.

Brooke

So, thanks for breakfast...We should do this more often

Lucas

Do what?

Brooke

Be friends

Lucas

We're friends..

Brooke

Yeah, but we should BE friends more often

Lucas

I'd like that

Brooke

But no benefits

Lucas

Kill or be killed.

Dan

It's the way of the world.

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

And Hansel said to Gretel: Let us drop these bread crumbs so that together we can find our way home. Because losing our way would be the most cruel of things. This year I lost my way.

Nathan

And losing your way on a journey is unfortunate. But losing your reason for the journey...is a fate more cruel.

Peyton

The journey lasted eight months. Sometimes I traveled alone. Sometimes there were others who took the wheel... and took my heart. But when the destination was reached, it wasn't me who'd arrived. It wasn't me at all.

Brooke

And once you lose yourself, you have two choices: Find the person you used to be or lose that person completely.

Mouth

Because sometimes you have to step outside of the person you’ve been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you wanted to be. The person you are.

Brooke

George Bernard Shaw once wrote: There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart`s desire. The other is to gain it. Clearly, Shaw had his heart broken once or twice.

Mouth

So Mr.Shaw thinks that getting your heart`s desire is a tragedy? I say he`s wrong. I mean, clearly Shaw never kissed Erica Marsh.

Nathan

As far as I concerned, Shaw was a punk. 'Cause you know what? Tragedies happen. What are you gonna do, give up? Quit? No, I realize now that when your heart breaks, you got to fight like hell to make sure you're still alive. Because you are. And that pain you feel? That's life. The confusion and fear? That's there to remind you, that somewhere out there is something better, and that something is worth fighting for.

Haley

This year I got everything I wanted and everything I wished for. But in a way, I lost even more.

Lucas

Shaw was right. As we strain to grasp the things we desire, we strain to grasp the things we think will make our lives better: money, popularity, fame...we ignore what truly matters ... the simple things... like friendship, family, love. The things we probably already had.

Peyton

Yes, losing your heart`s desire is tragic. But gaining your heart`s desire? That`s all you can hope for. This year I wished for love...to immerse myself in someone else and to wake a heart long afraid to feel. My wish was granted. And if having that is tragic, then give me that tragedy. Because I wouldn`t give it back for the world.

Brooke

LUCAS! Do not make me join you!

Lucas

Uh, a little privacy here.

Brooke

No, you've been in the shower forever! By the time I even get in the water it's gonna be...[Checks water] cold! Are you taking a cold shower?!

Lucas

No, the hot water-

Brooke

Gross! You are! You know what? Next wet dream, tell Peyton I said 'Hi'. Ew!

Brooke

[Talking to herself] Well... I'll see you Brooke, have a nice summer. Oh thanks everybody...

Lucas

Talking to yourself?

Brooke

What is your summer job driving a cab?

Lucas

I put your stuff in the car.

Brooke

So I guess this is goodbye...

Brooke

Tell me that was a goodbye kiss...

Lucas

I wanna be with you Brooke.

Brooke

What?

Lucas

I'm sorry. I know we're friends. It's just how I feel.

Brooke

What about Peyton's stuff?

Lucas

I keep that stuff as a reminder of how badly I screwed up things... with you. To remind myself that if I ever got a second chance... I'd never let you go again.

Brooke

I don't know what to say. I um... I gotta go...

Lucas

Brooke! Do you think you could ever-

Brooke

Lucas... I'm sorry. I gotta go... Bye.

Lucas

Have a nice summer Brooke.

Lucas

Look, I know it wasn’t fair, how I told you I wanted to be with you when your cab was just parked right outside. I just saw you slipping away and I guess I panicked.

Brooke

It’s OK. Really. It is. I actually had the whole summer to think about this and I thought we could totally have a summer-like fling, just in the fall. And non-exclusive.

Lucas

Non-exclusive. How does that work?

Brooke

Well, we hang out, we go to movies, we have fun.

Lucas

Do we kiss?

Brooke

You bet your ass we kiss.

Lucas

Do we do more than kiss?

Brooke

Maybe. But we also date other people.

Lucas

Brooke, this isn't what it looks like. Anyways, I don't know why you are so upset.

Brooke

You're kidding, right?

Lucas

You're the one that wanted to be non-exclusive. I'm just doing what you wanted.

Brooke

What I wanted? I wanted you to fight for me! I wanted you to say that there was no one else that you could ever be with and that you'd rather be alone than without me. I wanted the Lucas Scott from the beach that night telling the world that he's the one for me.

Lucas

How was I supposed to know that?

Brooke

You just are.

Lucas

If I tell Whitey I have a heart condition, I'm off the team.

Haley

Yeah, and if you don't tell Whitey about your heart condition, you're off the planet.

Nathan

Your game sucks. Fix it.

Lucas

Your marriage sucks. Fix it.

Brooke

There are 82 letters in here, and they're all addressed to you. I wrote them all this summer. One a day, but I never sent them 'cause I was afraid....I was afraid of getting my heart broken again, like before. 'Cause you hurt me so bad, and I was afraid to be vulnerable. And I was afraid of you and the way that you make me feel. And I know that doesn't matter now after what I did, but I just thought that you should know. This was how I spent my summer Luke, wanting you... I was just too scared to admit it.

Lucas

Brooke! I'm sorry! What you did with Chris...it's okay.

Brooke

It's not. It can't be. It's too much to forgive!

Lucas

Well that's too bad because I forgive you.

Brooke

You can't.

Lucas

I just did. So you're gonna just have to deal with it. I'm the guy for you Brooke Davis, and I know I hurt you last time we're together, but...

Brooke

I love you.

Lucas

I love you too... pretty girl.
