Nathan Scott quotes from One Tree Hill

Tell me a secret.

Nathan

Risky, okay. For the past few months I've been pretty freaked out about being a dad, but lately I... I know it's gonna be okay. It's gonna be great actually.

Haley

You are so sexy when you talk like that.

Whitey

(to Nathan) When somebody says you can't do something you fight back. You prove them wrong.

Nathan

They took away my scholarship coach, they don't want me anymore.

Whitey

Then find somebody who does. Nathan, where is the fire that made you the best player I ever coached?. Show me it's still there. If it's not, put down that ball and walk home. People love a guy who rises from the ashes. Remember that.

Lucas

I say we move on. Let's never go see Dan... ever.

Nathan

You know, this may sound kind of mean, but I'm okay with that. I mean, I got a great wife, I got a beautiful baby son, and I got a hell of a brother.

Lucas

Yeah, a hell of a brother who's gonna be your coach.

Lucas

Whitey offered me an assistant coaching job. I'm gonna take it.

Nathan

What? When did you decide this?

Lucas

About the same time I found out I was a godfather.

Nathan

That's great, man. We'll do it together.

Lucas

By the way, make sure you play well on December 9. If Skills beats us, we're never gonna hear the end of it.

Nathan

(Laughing) Yeah.

Ok, we'll have fun. I'm just saying maybe I should give Deb one quick call just to check in.

Nathan

Hales, come on. I miss the boy too but we're not going to be those crazy obsessive parents, alright?

Peyton

All right, let me see that baby. (Nathan takes out the picture of Jamie) Oh God.

Nathan

Not bad huh?

Peyton

Good work buddy.

Nathan

I made that.

Nathan

You sure you're up for this old man?

Lucas

I could do this forever, little brother

Nathan

You know theres a party tonight, right?

Yeah, I know- but what are gonna do with the baby?

Deb

(Appearing round the door holding stuffed toys) Cue the crazy gradnmother. And FYI, if you ever call me 'grandmother' in public, I'll use my gun. (Sees Haley's face) Which, is safe at the range, out of the way of the most beautiful baby in the world (Takes Jamie from Haley) Next to you Nathan, of course. Aaah who am I kidding?

Nathan

We would go mom, but were underage, and theres gonna be drinking, probably some drugs-

Deb

Go. We insist. Bring me home some drugs! (Walks off with Jamie) Isn't Gwandma funny?

Nathan

Mom? What happened to the phone?

Deb

I unplugged it. The two of you were driving us crazy.

The TWO of us?

Nathan

(Looks shifty)I may of called a couple of times...

Deb

Six times.

You crazy obsessive parent!

Deb

You called eight.

UNBELIEVABLE. He's only mellow when we play rap music? What happened to the classical I played for nine months?

Nathan

I have a confession to make. Whenever you fell asleep I tuned into old school hip-hop. (Rocks Jamie) Thats right my boy. We like some old school hip hop? Yeah? Yeah? (Laughs)

Nathan

My dad's in prison and so am I.

Haley

Yeah, well you can walk out.

Peyton

Well.

Brooke

Well. Oh don't look away, second and third greatest nights in your life just walked back into your world.

Peyton

You looking all rock star totally does it for me.

Brooke

It's very heroin chic Nate, I like it.

Nathan

What are you guys doing here?

Brooke

Well, Lucas tells me you can walk but you need a little incentive so we have come up with a drill.

Peyton

For every step you take we kiss.

Haley

[throws beer bottles] Are you going to say anything or are you just gonna sit there like you have for the past four months? You gonna get drunk, maybe pout, a little cry?

Nathan

You don't get it, do you? I used to be somebody, Haley, do you understand that? Do you understand what that means? I used to be Nathan Scott, and I was great and I should have walked away okay I know that and I didn't do it, and now I'm nothing. And I have nothing.

Haley

You have nothing? You have a beautiful son who is here. I am here! You've gotta figure out who you're gonna be in this, Nathan. Because this version of you does not work for us. I can not keep living like this, okay? Do you understand what I'm saying? One more night like this, Nathan, and I promise, you will have nothing!

Haley

What is this?

Nathan

It's the beginning.

Haley

Of what?

Nathan

Of the way it's going to be from now on. I know it's going to take a lot more than dinner, but I figure it's a start right?

Haley

I missed you.

Nathan

You said he asked you stuff. What else did you tell him?

Skills

Nothing much. Just the truth.

Nathan

Like?

Skills

The man killed Tupac and Biggie, never date girls named Bevin, and Santa Claus is black.

Lucas

Why are women so screwed up?

Nathan

Let me guess, Peyton.

Lucas

How did you know?

Nathan

Because she's sending you a drink with a check in it.

Lucas

Yeah, we're having a tough time with the whole friends thing. How did you two do it so easily?

Nathan

I make everything look easy.

Lucas

Nate.

Nathan

Peyton and I were never in love.

Lucas

Yeah, well Lindsey is mad at me too.

Nathan

Yet you seem more upset about Peyton.
