Nathan Scott quotes from One Tree Hill

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

So this Haley thing… you know, for some reason, she feels like you’re not full of crap. Don’t take advantage of that.

Nathan

I’m not going to.

Lucas

I know you’re not. Because if you do, you’re going to live to regret it.

Nathan

Bring it on. Hey, listen. Look, man, you didn’t have to get in that car when those guys grabbed me. Especially after you warned me not to.

Lucas

Right, whatever. You know the way I see it, I mean, if they would’ve taken you out, who the hell else am I gonna have to fight with, right?

Nathan

Same person I have.

Nathan

I remember this one summer, I was playing little league baseball, and I was the pitcher, and my dad was the coach. Anyway, this kid, Billy Lyons, he was a great hitter. Everything he hit was a home run. So, you know, he got up to the plate and there was nobody on base, so I just walked him. Four straight pitches, nothing even close to a strike. So my dad calls a timeout, comes to the mound, and I’m thinking he’s gonna say like, smart move or good thinking son, something like that. But instead... instead he grabs me by the arm, and he kicks me in the ass as hard as he can. I mean, he literally took me by the arm so that I wouldn’t like, go flying, he kicked me so hard. Then he brought Stevie Planking in to pitch, sat me on the bench, never mentioned it again.

Lucas

That sucks.

Nathan

Yeah. So just think about that the next time you’re feeling sorry for yourself.

Nathan

Why is the coach so easy with you, Jagielski?

Jake

We party together.

Maybe they're lovers.

Nathan

[to Tim] Why? Did you two break up?

Hey Nathan, what's up man?

Nathan

Hey guys, you know Haley. She's my tutor...

This looks a lot like a date to me.

Nathan

No man, definitely not.

All right, see you later.

Nathan

I'm sorry about that...

Haley

[cutting Nathan off] Are you embarrassed to be seen with me? And why are you only nice to me when we're alone?

Nathan

It's just...

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.

Haley

Trying to wake up my parents? That's their room...

Nathan

[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.

Nathan

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?

Nathan

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?

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.

Haley

Except that. You shouldn't have done that, Nathan.

Nathan

But I wanted to.

Haley

Yeah.

Nathan

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.

Nathan

They can watch.

Haley

Nathan, can you just get serious for a minute?

Nathan

Oh, I'm serious. Come here.

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.

Nathan

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...

Nathan

Hey, it's not about sex with me, alright? When you're ready, I'll be ready, too.

Whitey

[to Nathan] Nice to see you vertical. How ya feeling?

Nathan

Same as always. What's this all about? [Hands him the basketball canceled paper]

Whitey

Seems to me we've lost track about what this game is supposed to be about, myself included. Now I want you to take this time and think about why we're really out there. 'Til then no practice.

This sucks!

Jake

Speak for yourself. Whitey just did me a favor.

Nathan

Yeah, me too.

Haley

Did you finish 'The Little Prince'?

Nathan

No, I just rented the movie. This book is stupid.

Haley

Nathan, you're not going to pass French if you keep renting movies.

Nathan

Its not like I have a lot of time to read.

Haley

So, are you ever going to tell me how it went?

Nathan

The therapist asked me if I liked playing basketball.

Haley

Wow, what did you say?

Nathan

I didn't know what to say. No one has ever asked me that question.

Haley

Wow, that's really big.

Nathan

These past couple weeks without it, I mean if I didn't play, I might actually have a life.

Haley

What would you do?

Nathan

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?

Haley

I think you're really brave to reconsider building who you are. I don't know if I could do that.

Nathan

You could if you tried. Look, I gotta go.

Haley

Oh, yeah. Hey, umm, basketball practice starts up again today right?

Nathan

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?

Nathan

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.

Nathan

Yeah, you should come tonight. Maybe you'll make everyone behave.

Haley

I'll come if you want me to.

Nathan

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.

Nathan

Well, then, I'm asking.

Haley

Well, then, I'm coming.

Nathan

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.

Nathan

Why not?

Haley

Because I look stupid.

Nathan

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.

Nathan

You don't embarrass me, Haley.

Haley

Oh, yeah, OK.

Nathan

OK, I take that back.

Haley

I can't do this.

Nathan

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.

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.

Haley

Nathan, I'm not in the mood right now.

Nathan

Lucas is awake. I was there when he opened his eyes. I went to see him.

Haley

Why?

Nathan

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.

Nathan

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?

Nathan

Yeah, but what's wrong with the old you?

Haley

Nothing. I just thought I'd branch out and try some new things.

Nathan

This could be good. Like what?

Haley

I don't know. There's a lot I wanna try that I never did.

Nathan

Like fooling around with me?

Haley

Like snowboarding.

Nathan

Okay, well, I can teach you how to do that, too.

Haley

Yeah?

Nathan

Mmmhmm...

Haley

Cool.

Nathan

What else?

Haley

Uhh, singing.

Nathan

Do you sing?

Haley

I..uhh..sing when no one is around.

Nathan

Well, I think you should sing for me sometime.

Haley

Okay, yeah, right, I'll..uhh..catch ya on the slopes.

Nathan

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.

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?

Nathan

It's a war zone and I'm stuck with whoever's got the best lawyer.

Haley

Aww, you should know your rights.

Nathan

It's not like I have any.

Haley

No, you do. Let's find out. Knowledge is power.
