Hi, nice to meet you.
Girl, you are totally fine.
Dude I'm totally married.
Really? Who's the father?
NathanLittle close aren't you?
Oh, guess it's you.
NathanAre you writing a new song or planning on killing me?
Erhhh, Officially, I'm writing a new song. Unofficially, I'd watch your back...by the way I found a new car on the internet...looks great.
NathanDefine great?
Five hundred bucks great...which actually leaves thirty six bucks in the wish dish so we could probably spring for a full tank of gas.
NathanYou know, my wish was more along the lines of Tivo, surround sound.
Well a car will get you off the bus before Kieth fires you for being late. [kiss] And make sure the trunk's big enough to fit a body. Just in case.
NathanI can't believe that I'm wearing a skirt!
Yeah, I know, in public.
Hi. We didn't recognize the address. We won't buy anything.
It's ok, we sold my pride around 8:30. I'd rather see you wearing my clothes than these 50 year old wannabes. So I'll give you the good friend discount.
[Haley walks away to look at things.]
How do you do it?
NathanDo what?
You gave up your family's money to be poor, Nate.
NathanYou know what they say Brooke, money can't buy love.
Maybe so, but my mom sure had a good run renting it for a while.
Looking for your wife?
NathanYou're funny. You're also done messing with Haley.
We're just rehearsing, man.
NathanNo, you were rehearsing. That's over now.
Why?.. Can’t you trust her? I mean, isn't that what this is about? You love her.. you married her.. but can you trust her? 'Cause if you can, you got nothing to worry about right? Come on, man, I don't have a problem with you.
NathanYou see, you do have a problem with me; a big problem! You could smile and act cool if you want to but the fact is, man: I used to destroy guys like you. Daily. It'd be a shame if something happened to this hand; you couldn't play that little guitar anymore huh? Just like it'd be a shame if you were taking advantage of Haley. Don't cry rock star.. ruin your make-up.

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.
NathanAnd losing your way on a journey is unfortunate. But losing your reason for the journey...is a fate more cruel.
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.
And once you lose yourself, you have two choices: Find the person you used to be or lose that person completely.
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.
[Voiceover]
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.
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.
NathanAs 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.
This year I got everything I wanted and everything I wished for. But in a way, I lost even more.
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.
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.
NathanI deleted you. Your messeage
Well... Then you deleted this: Um... I was being childish when I walked away from you for the tour. You gave me an ultimatum the night that I left and, uh, I fought back for all the wrong reasons. I was being stubborn... and I can't take that back, I wish that I could. Did I want to go? Yeah. I loved it, I loved every night of it. But I want you to know something Nathan. There was never a night where I loved it more than I loved you.
...
I understand if you don’t love me anymore.
NathanAlways and forever. That’s what sucks, Haley. I still do love you. I always will. I just can’t trust you.
NathanYour game sucks. Fix it.
Your marriage sucks. Fix it.
NathanI should've known you can't be honest.
I can be honest.
NathanNo, you can´t!
I kissed Haley...at the masquerade party.
[Nathan hits him]
Ow, man I was trying to help you!
NathanWhat? [hits him again]
See that's why I'm never honest! And stop hitting me!
NathanStop kissing my wife!
I will, when you start kissing her!
[Nathan hits Chris again]
Hi
NathanHey, thanks for coming.
Yeah, thanks for calling me...What's wrong?
NathanYour song is great, Haley. Chris played it for me. It's a long story, but it's really great. I just wanted you to know that.
Oh, OK.
NathanMy mom left, for good, I think. Oh and apparently my dad's the mayor now. So yeah, today had really sucked ass.
Oh, Nathan, I'm so sorry.
NathanYou know, for most of my life I would have gone through this alone, then I met you and I finally found someone I could depend on when life got like this. So I guess I called to see if that was still there.
Nathan, you can always call me. Always and Forever... I wanna ask you something. The night of the masquerade party, did we...Did you kiss me?
NathanOf course i did [they kiss]
Oh no you didn't. That kiss wasn't half as good as this one...I love you for lying to me...thanks for calling. [kisses him on the cheek and walks towards the door]
NathanHaley.
Yeah.
NathanStay with me tonight.
Oh, I was hoping you would say that.
I'm so sorry Nathan,I am, but the fire at the dealership - it wasn't an accident. We were going to get out, remember. But your father wouldn't have that. It was me. I tried to kill him. [Nathan shrugs off Deb's hands] I was so miserable that day because of your father. I hadn't been out of rehab long and it had been a difficult day. I had to find some strength, some courage, to find a way out, and that's when I found one. There were just four things left to do. The first was to type the card. The second was to deliver it. The third was to light it. The fourth was to ask God to take me far away from this person I'd become. I'm sorry Nathan, I did it for both of us, to free us.
NathanNo. [Starts to walk away]
Please Nathan, wait.
NathanNo. You didn't have the courage to leave him, but you had the courage to kill him.
What are you doing?
NathanOh, I was just, looking for band-aids.
Well buddy, you found my birth control patches. Those fix a whole other problem. Next cabinet.
NathanHaley, what if something happened? That would have changed our lives forever!
Like what, marriage?!
Ooh, she's good.
And if you're so worried, then why didn't you stop us? It's just as much your responsibility as it is mine.
NathanYou're right. It is my responsibility, let me see the pills.
I can not believe you still don't believe me. I can't believe it. Here take them. I don't need them anymore.
NathanHaley..
Your future as a basketball player is totally secure. Your future as my husband, not so much.
