Hey Nathan, what's up man?
[looks at Haley]
Hey guys, you know Haley. She's my tutor...
This looks a lot like a date to me.
All right, see you later.
[leaves]
Haley
[cutting Nathan off] Are you embarrassed to be seen with me? And why are you only nice to me when we're alone?
Haley
You know, for an hour you almost got me to believe that you're not a son of a bitch but, God, you fooled me again.
[Nathan is outside Haley's house throwing rocks at a window, Haley walks up behind him]
Haley
Trying to wake up my parents? That's their room...
[runs over to Haley] Wait, Haley, look, I need to apologize, okay?
Haley
You should buy 'em in bulk if you're gonna hand apologies out that often.
Look will you just... I don't know how to do this all right...? I'm... I'm not like you
Haley
What does that mean?
All right, I screw up a lot, all right... and being around you, I just...I don't wanna be that guy any more.
Haley
Well, who do you wanna be, Nathan?
I wanna be somebody who's good enough to be seen with you.
Haley
You should've thought of that last night... You know I keep... I keep putting myself out there and you keep blowing it and it's probably a good thing because at this point there is nothing that you can say or do that's gonna surprise me.
[Nathan kisses her]
Haley
Except that. You shouldn't have done that, Nathan.
Haley
Yeah.
[jumps onto Nathan and starts kissing him]
A month ago, did you think we'd be alone in your bedroom?
Haley
Oh, but we're not alone in my bedroom. We have the forefathers with us.
Haley
Nathan, can you just get serious for a minute?
Oh, I'm serious. Come here.
[he pulls her next to him and they start to kiss]
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!
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?
Haley, I'm not the bad guy here, okay? Peyton's just too...hard.
Haley
Unlike Brooke, who I understand, is nice and easy.
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.
Haley
If my parents come home, I'm going to act like I have amnesia, so don't freak out if I pretend not to know you.
[They both laugh]
Look I think I should get back to the madness, but, hey, if I could, I'd stay like this all day.
Haley
OK. Nathan, about last night...
Hey, it's not about sex with me, alright? When you're ready, I'll be ready, too.
Haley
Did you finish 'The Little Prince'?
No, I just rented the movie. This book is stupid.
Haley
Nathan, you're not going to pass French if you keep renting movies.
Its not like I have a lot of time to read.
Haley
So, are you ever going to tell me how it went?
The therapist asked me if I liked playing basketball.
Haley
Wow, what did you say?
I didn't know what to say. No one has ever asked me that question.
Haley
Wow, that's really big.
These past couple weeks without it, I mean if I didn't play, I might actually have a life.
Haley
What would you do?
I don't know. At least I have some time to figure it out. Besides, I'm sure we can find other things to do with our time.
Haley
Like?
[Nathan kisses Haley]
Haley
I think you're really brave to reconsider building who you are. I don't know if I could do that.
You could if you tried. Look, I gotta go.
Haley
Oh, yeah. Hey, umm, basketball practice starts up again today right?
Yeah, I'm just not sure if I do. I'll see ya.
Haley
So this, uh, dinner is going to be pretty bad, huh?
Yeah, a massacre. My grandma's okay. It's just my grandpa's pretty intense. You've met my dad. Just imagine where he comes from.
Haley
Scary.
Yeah, you should come tonight. Maybe you'll make everyone behave.
Haley
I'll come if you want me to.
No, I wasn't serious. I wouldn't put you through that.
Haley
No, I mean, if you're asking, of course, my answer is yes.
Haley
Well, then, I'm coming.
Was that your jump shot? Because if that was your jump shot, I can't date you anymore. [Haley laughs] My mom said you would be here, something about a grade?
Haley
Yeah, you cannot be here right now.
Haley
Because I look stupid.
You realize I've seen you in that crochet poncho thing you wear, right?
Haley
Come on, this is embarrassing. I want you to think I'm not embarrassing.
You don't embarrass me, Haley.
Haley
Oh, yeah, OK.
Haley
I can't do this.
Yes, you can like this. Alright, square your shoulders to the basket. Bring the ball up right past your nose like this, okay? Bend your knees a little, just relax your hips, and just shoot. Okay, that wasn't perfect, but it also wasn't embarrassing. It was actually kind of sexy.
Haley, what are you doing?
Haley
Inventory.
Lucas is lying in a hospital. Why can't you just go see him?
Haley
Because he wouldn't want to see me.
What are you talking about? You guys are best friends.
Haley
Not last night, we weren't. We got in a fight.
Haley
You, him and Brooke. Last thing I said to him was, 'I don't like the person you're becoming, and the next time we see each other, don't talk to me.'
Haley
Peyton, what if..what if I can't take it back? What if he doesn't forgive me?
He will, but you just need to see him. I tell you what, umm, whenever you decide that you're ready, I'll go to the hospital with you. Strength in numbers.
Haley
Yeah. Yeah, okay, thank you.
Haley
Nathan, I'm not in the mood right now.
Lucas is awake. I was there when he opened his eyes. I went to see him.
Haley
Why?
Because I knew you couldn't. I wanted him to know that you were thinking about him. Look, I know it was wrong to go after you for the reasons I did. I can't apologize for that, but I'm glad I did, but I'm not that person anymore because of you. Let me take you to him.
Wait a minute, is this...is this a new outfit?
Haley
He noticed. Yes it is. It's all about the new me. Do you like?
Yeah, but what's wrong with the old you?
Haley
Nothing. I just thought I'd branch out and try some new things.
This could be good. Like what?
Haley
I don't know. There's a lot I wanna try that I never did.
Like fooling around with me?
[Haley gives him a little smack]
Haley
Like snowboarding.
Okay, well, I can teach you how to do that, too.
Haley
Yeah?
Haley
Cool.
Haley
Uhh, singing.
Haley
I..uhh..sing when no one is around.
Well, I think you should sing for me sometime.
Haley
Okay, yeah, right, I'll..uhh..catch ya on the slopes.
You know, I don't know how I deal with all this crap with my parents if you weren't around.
Haley
You're welcome.
NNatha
I'm serious. It's like the worse things get with my parents, the better things get with you.
Haley
Are things really awful with your parents?
It's a war zone and I'm stuck with whoever's got the best lawyer.
Haley
Aww, you should know your rights.
It's not like I have any.
Haley
No, you do. Let's find out. Knowledge is power.
So now I know. I don't ever remember feeling like this, Haley. Yeah, like with my dad, but she abandoned me.
Haley
I'm sorry.
I can't go back there. I can't live with my dad, either. I'm screwed.
Haley
Maybe not. There might be an answer.
Haley
No way!
Haley, come on. Remember when I made you those flyers for Open Mic Night?
Haley
That is really unfair. You're a born artist. I'm a born klutz, okay? I, I, almost drowned in the balls at Chuck E. Cheese.
Okay, but if we don't find a replacement, we're gonna have to forfeit.
Haley
Don't you guys lose every year since grade school, anyway? So, what's the big deal?
It's important to Brooke. Do you know how terrible it is to be disconnected from your best friend? Look, I really hurt Brooke, and I just don't want her to be disappointed again.
Ta-da.[As she shows Haley dressed in the cheerleader outfit to Brooke]'
Tutor girl, you look bitching.
Haley
Yeah, I kind of do, don't I?
Now, get your suit hot tub therapy, both of you.
Haley? What are you doing?
Haley
I'm kind of filling in for Teresa.
Works for me. I gotta thing for cheerleaders.
Haley
Oh, yeah.
[They kiss]
