Nathan Scott quotes from One Tree Hill

Nathan

(to Dan ): Well, when you and Deb are tired of my high-school class,I'm sure I could rummage through some of my old middle-school friends for you.

Nathan

I guess evil does a body good

Nathan

(About Jamie) He's like a 3 foot tall "Where do babies come from?" Ninja!

Nathan

You know how there are handful of moments in your life, That you just know while it's happening, You're going to remember it for the rest of your life. I had one of those moments tonight. When I looked at Jamie.

Nathan

Jamie.You're my son. I love you.I need you to be safe.

Nathan

(to Haley) Do you know why Clay named his agency "Fortitude"? Because of a conversation he had with Dan. He told Dan that he had the fortitude to face any adversity. Sometimes at night, I just try to understand how we got here. How my father became the man that he is, how I became whoever it is that I am. I just wish that he could know our children. I know he can't, but...I wish that he could.

Nathan

People say hell is endless. They say it’s our worst nightmare, the face of our darkness. But whatever it is, however it is, I say hell is empty, and all the devils are here.

Nathan

You think I'm afraid? I'm not afraid of you. You can take my world, you can take my life, but you won't get my fear. I'm not afraid of you and I'm not going to be.

Nathan

There was a moment when I was lost, when they had beaten me. And I decided to beg them to let me live to see my beautiful wife,my son, and my daughter. To breathe another breath and lie in the sun and just live. But begging them wouldn’t change things. It would only give them satisfaction and that I wouldn’t do. No, this would be the job they carried with them for the rest of their lives. This would be the one they felt guilty about. That their older, fading selves woke up regretting in the middle of the night trying to quiet their remorse before their own deaths were upon them. So I made a decision to give them nothing. And in that moment one word came to mind...FORTITUDE.

Peyton

Unbelievable!

Nathan

What? Peyton, did you see how bad he sucked tonight?

Peyton

So?

Nathan

He was horrible! I've never seen a guy play so bad.

Peyton

And you enjoyed that?

Nathan

Hell yeah. Didn't you? What is this, Peyton? You like this guy or something?

Peyton

You mean more than my boyfriend who I'm trying to make out with right now?

Nathan

Well, put some ice on it. You ever think I might want to talk?

Peyton

No, you don't. You want to celebrate a public humiliation. And I'm sorry. That's a little played out.

Nathan

Oh, and being with you isn't?

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?

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.

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.

Peyton

It’s not about the car. It’s about you. I finally saw you clearly for the first time last night. The way you treated me, the way you treated Tim, the way you treated your brother.

Nathan

Don’t call him that.

Peyton

And the way you’re playing that girl.

Nathan

What? Are you talking about Haley? Is that what this is about? Peyton, she means nothing.

Peyton

Okay, if that’s the case, then you’re an ass. And even if she does mean something, you’re still an ass, and what’s really sad, Nathan, is that you’re too stupid to get that. So thank you for being such an amazing son of a bitch last night. You really made this a no-brainer.

Nathan

I'll call you when you're not so PMS.
