Haley James Scott quotes from One Tree Hill

Haley

Dan, not a day goes by that I don’t miss Keith. Or hate you for what you did to him. And to Nathan and to our entire family. I have no sympathy for you. But if there is such a thing as rehabilitation or forgiveness, then I believe a person should have the opportunity to prove that they’ve changed. That’s why you’re here.

Haley

[to Julian] When Jamie was 5, I think, Nathan and I were in the kitchen at night, arguing. I remember looking out the window and I saw him playing basketball by the pool. Somewhere between all the yelling and the next time I looked out, he had disappeared and uh, I went outside and he was floating face down in the pool. And we didn’t know how long he had been out there. Nathan pulled him in, and eventually he coughed and he cried, but he was okay. And I felt like I had damaged him. I felt like the worst parent in the world and it took me a really long time to forgive myself for that. But, I did eventually. And you will too, because your babies aren’t going anywhere. Your job doesn’t end. And the best part, we, as parents can do is just love them with all of our hearts. And try and do better next time.

Haley

[to Dan] Bring Nathan home. I don't care what it takes. Bring him home.

Haley

Love means giving chances when there aren't any more to give.

Haley

[Voice-over] Human beings are ambitious. We spend so much time wanting, pursuing, wishing. For the most part, that's okay. Ambition is good. Chasing things with integrity is good. Dreaming. As long as the chase doesn't diminish what we already have. The goodness we take for granted, the people we take for granted. The lives we take for granted.My life is good.

Haley

It’s a magical place, son. I’ve seen that magic in your eyes for the past nine years. There’s only one Tree Hill, Jamie Scott. And it’s your home.

Haley

So, Nathan challenged you. Are you gonna play him?

Lucas

I don't know. It's not like I have anything to prove.

Haley

But don't you just want to show him sometimes -- oh, damn! [A flock of birds flys in front of Lucas and Haley]

Haley

What is up?! I was attacked a flock of crows last week! I'm totally serious!

Lucas

by the way, it's a murder.

Haley

What?

Lucas

More than one crow is a murder.

Haley

I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Lucas

A parliament of owls, an exultation of larks, a murder of crows.

Haley

I think that is why people think you're weird, right there. [ Chuckles ]

Lucas

I would like to show him sometimes, though, what a mistake he's made.

Haley

Dan?

Lucas

Mostly for mom... And...Sometimes for me.

Haley

So, Luke, what are ravens -- I mean, more than one?

Lucas

An unkindness.

Nathan

Hey!

Haley

Can I help you?

Nathan

I hope so. You're my tutor.

Haley

Right, I don't think so.

Nathan

You're Haley James, right?

Haley

I'm sorry. I'm best friends with Lucas.

Nathan

Well, then I'm sorry too.

Haley

Forget it, I'll find you someone else.

Nathan

Look, there is no one else. All right? I'd be fine with it if there was.

Haley

If there were.

Nathan

See, you're helping me already.

Haley

Look, I can't help you. And on top of that, I won't help you. Okay?

Haley

Do you see this book? Because this book is me. I am math.

Nathan

What's that supposed to mean?

Haley

It's supposed to mean that you can work your whole "I'm Nathan Scott, Mr. Big Shot, scoring my touchdowns" on somebody else, because -

Nathan

I don't even play football.

Haley

Whatever. The point is, at the end of the day all your bluster and BS don't mean anything to math because math don't care, and neither do I.

Nathan

Well, does English care? 'Cause I really suck at that, too.

Haley

Please don't waste my time. I'm already taking a huge chance on you because my instincts are screaming that you're full of sh... Let's just get started, okay?

Peyton

How's the tutoring going? You're tutoring Nathan, right? It's ok. He tells me everything.

Haley

Yeah, he said he needed some help.

Peyton

Maybe you could teach him to stop being such a jackass.

Haley

I will put that on the lesson plan.

Peyton

Just be careful, OK?

Haley

Yeah, sure.

Peyton

Does Lucas know you're helping Nathan? [Haley looks at her in disgust] You know, you say a lot when you keep your mouth shut. It's okay. I'll keep mine shut, too.

Haley

Yeah, this is my house. Um... we're staying here while we renovate the mansion.

Nathan

[Laughs] It's not like I was trying to show off.

Haley

Wasn't that your default setting? Sorry.

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.

Nathan

You know, me and Peyton broke up.

Haley

Peyton and I.

Nathan

What, she broke up with you, too? I just, I didn't know she was gonna take it this hard. She went off on Brooke at practice. I'm kinda worried about her.

Haley

Well, maybe you should have worried more about her when you were together. I'm sorry, but come on, it's true.

Nathan

No, you don't know the first thing about Peyton and I.

Haley

Me and Peyton.

Nathan

Whatever.

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.

Brooke

[after taking pain medication] That’s perfect. Brooke can come with us!

Haley

[to Peyton] Yeah, she named me Brooke.

Brooke

Peyton, can she come? Please? Peyton, please!

Peyton

Just don’t touch the stereo. Or we’ll have a problem.

Brooke

Road trip! [Throws her pompoms] We’re going on a road trip! We’re going on a road trip!
