PeytonHey, it's me. [Talking to Luke lying in the hospital unconscious] Can you hear me? Squeeze my hand if you can hear me, okay? Never mind. Umm, I just came by to tell you that I'm probably not going to be around here much with Brooke here. It's just kind of weird, but I'm with you, Lucas. You know that, and I'll wait forever if I have to. [Karen walks in.] Oh, I'm sorry. Nobody was here.
You don't have to go. He's allowed visitors.
Peyton
Okay. I'm Peyton.
I know. Lucas has talked about you. It's nice that people want to do something, but that's the last thing I want to think about is food.
Peyton
Yeah, but you'll be glad you had it in a couple of days. I swear the cooks in this hospital gets a bonus for making people sick.
Sounds like you spent some time here.
Peyton
Yeah, when my mom died.
I'm sorry. How'd she die?
Peyton
A car accident.
You're a good friend to visit. I've been expecting Haley to come on by.
Peyton
Her and Lucas got in some kind of an argument, and she's been beating herself up over it.
They'll patch it up. Best friends can forgive each other over anything.
Peyton
I was so afraid you weren't going to wake up.
What? And miss out on being with you? (They begin to kiss.) When you didn't come to the hospital, I began to worry that maybe you changed your mind.
Peyton
No, it was just too weird with Brooke there. I started to tell her about us the night of your accident and then Haley called and everything changed....
I figured. That's why I ended things with Brooke today.
Peyton
You did? Did you tell her why?
No, I told her I needed to focus on getting well.
Peyton
We need to tell her the rest.
Sure just give me a few days to strength up and then we'll tell her together like we planned. Besides, we're not exactly going to be dating in the mean time, ya know.
Peyton
You're out late.
Lucky thing you finding Lucas like that. If you hadn't come along, who knows what might have happpened.
Peyton
(nodding) Everything turned out okay.
No, not really. I don't know what hurts worse: you and Lucas sneaking around behind my back or you lying about it to my face.
Peyton
Brooke.
No. The next time you want to steal my boyfriend, [points to the computer] you might wanna turn that thing off. I went into his room to check on him, and his computer was on. I know you two were together. He meant everything to me, Peyton. And I was ready to try to be his friend if that's what he needed. Now I don't really care if I see either one of you again.
Peyton
God, it's good to have an escape route in case she tries to smother me with a pillow. How you doing?
Mmmm...having Jenny withdrawal.
Peyton
Yeah, but you need a weekend away to just relax and have a good time. It doesn't happen too often.
Yeah, true, but there's been some new developments.
Peyton
Oh, really, what are they? [Brooke yells for Peyton] Sorry, cheer Nazi calls.
Peyton
Haley, come on. Remember when I made you those flyers for Open Mic Night?
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.
Peyton
Okay, but if we don't find a replacement, we're gonna have to forfeit.
Don't you guys lose every year since grade school, anyway? So, what's the big deal?
Peyton
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.
Peyton
Ta-da.[As she shows Haley dressed in the cheerleader outfit to Brooke]'
Tutor girl, you look bitching.
Yeah, I kind of do, don't I?
Now, get your suit hot tub therapy, both of you.
Haley? What are you doing?
I'm kind of filling in for Teresa.
Works for me. I gotta thing for cheerleaders.
[They kiss]
Peyton
Nearly midnight. Looks like our date's almost over.
Yeah, I think I was hitting on ya in the pool.
Peyton
You think you were?
I don't know anymore. This whole good guy thing is new to me. I guess I'll always have feelings for you, Peyton, but I owe it to Haley to be a better guy than I've been. I just don't wanna be the kind of guy that cheats on her.
Peyton
Then don't be. Nathan, I'm proud of you, you know, standing up to your dad, being a good guy for Haley. You've turned into the guy I always knew you could be.
Peyton
Brooke, what are you up to?
You've been on my dad's boat before.
Peyton
Yeah! With you and your dad!
Details! It's like driving a car but into water, without a speed limit.
Peyton
Brooke?
Peyton. Look at us. Look at this day, We are practically a beer commercial! It would be wrong not to take it! So let's go. Hop on, bestest friend...
Peyton
What is that?
This, Missy blond girl, is the Brooke Davis version of 'Spin the Bottle'. Only now, it's 'Spin the Body'. Watch. OK, you two have to make out. And last but not least; we have 'Five Minutes in the Elevator'.
Isn't it 'Five Minutes in the Closet'?
Yeah, if you're in junior high. But the great part about this is; you know how everybody has their elevator list?
Your elevator list! Come on! The list of people you're allowed to have sex with if you're ever stuck in an elevator with them.
Peyton
"Jack Black."
I told you; I got dressed, I threw up at my parent's house, brushed, flossed and went to the beach.
Peyton
Ok, hard image to forget. Uh, but, I meant more like, uh, I don't know; how your heart got there. Marriage is big. I don't know how you trust somebody for your whole life. I can't even date somebody with that escape hatch.
I don't know if it was so much about trusting Nathan, which I do, it was more about trusting myself.
Peyton
Yeah, I know. I was just wondering if I could post this flyer on your board. I'm auditioning bands for a local talent night.
All ages night? Tell you what, you can post it if you take your shirt off.
Peyton
Excuse me?
Emo's crap. [Peyton's t-shirt says 'Finding Emo']. Gives punk a bad name.
Peyton
You think?
Peyton
Huh. Well, I guess those that can't do, sell records. You insult all your customers this way?
Well, since we're not really open, you're not really a customer.
Peyton
Whatever, I'm going to school.
Don't forget your 'Get Up Kids' lunch box.
Peyton
[hangs flyer] You know, it's real punk to be up at 7 am doing inventory.
Wait a second, you...you don't have a bed, do you? Did you...tell me, you didn't have sex in my bed, Brooke.
I'm already washing your sheets.
Oh my god, oh, Brooke, uh!
Brooke [pointing to Peyton and Anna] They already yelled at me! What is the big deal?
The big deal is that, first of all, you did not thank me for helping you with the CDs, second of all, you had sex in my bed, and third, you ate all the brownies.
Actually, I had a couple.
Haley's right. The point is that I've been deceptive. Just not so much that I lied to anyone's face. It's more about what I didn't say.
Uh! Okay, there is a big difference between a lie, and a little white lie.
Peyton
Okay. Wait, what white lie?
Peyton
About what?
Peyton
Haley.
[To Peyton] You know what? If we're talking about bad behavior, you might wanna sit this on out.
Peyton
What is that supposed to mean?
It's supposed to mean that Peyton's the one you should be looking at, not me.
Why? She's not the one acting like a perfect little Stepford wife.
Why are you picking on Haley? She's throwing us a slumber party.
Actually, she was throwing us a slumber party. You just butted in!
Peyton
Brooke, leave her alone!
[To Peyton] What are you gonna do? Snort her? Listen, I didn't throw this slumber party for you. You threw it for yourself and you know it!
Well, at least I didn't lie to my husband, about hanging out with Chris.
Peyton
Whoah!
Brooke...well, Peyton did cocaine with that Rick-guy.
Peyton
Haley!
Peyton
You had sex in her bed.
What is wrong with you! Crack-whore!
Peyton
Slut!
First they put away the dealers,keep our kids safe and off the street. Then they put away the prostitutes, keep married men cloistered at home. Then they shooed away the bums, then they beat and bashed the queers, turned away asylum-seekers, fed us suspicions and fears. We didn't raise our voice, we didn't make a fuss. It's funny there was no one left to notice when they came for us.
Peyton
Anna, it's not about who I am, okay. It's about who they are. They are people who hate, and they divide, and they feed off of people who don't fight back. Yeah I could laugh this off, but what about the girl who can't? Who's gonna help her? Silence only makes them stronger.
[Principal Turner encounters "DYKE" tshirt]
TMr. Turner
Miss Sawyer, you know we have a policy regarding wardrobe that's offensive or profane.
Peyton
[points to her locker] Does that policy extend to lockers, 'cuz you haven't removed that yet have you?
TMr. Turner
You know the drill: go to the office and change or be sent home.
Peyton
Ok, Mr. Turner, have you ever heard of Victor Jara? No? Um... he was this musician, right, and he fought injustice with his songs and when they broke his hands and when they taunted him, he just sang even louder.
TMr. Turner
Look, Peyton, oppression's not exactly a mystery to me, ok? I feel your pain.
Peyton
No...no you don't. Ok, I'm sorry, but you don't know anything about my pain!
TMr. Turner
Maybe so but there are counselors you can talk to. Literature you can read.
Peyton
Ok, I'm-I'm not gay, Mr. Turner!!! But you know what; if I was I wouldn't let other people tear me down because of it and I sure as hell wouldn't be looking for my answers in one of your pamphlets!
TMr. Turner
Policy is clear Peyton. Remove the shirt or be suspended.
Peyton
Fine. [takes off her shirt, leaving her in a red bra and throws it at him] Can you hear my song now, Mr. Turner?
TMr. Turner
Enjoy your suspension, Miss Sawyer.
You know, um,... I wasn't entirely honest with you, before.
Peyton
About what??
Peyton
You said you were tired of running.
.... Yeah, but... that's not the only reason. See, the whole time that I was gone, I kept... thinking about all this stuff that I should have...done... when I had the chance, but didn't.
Peyton
Well, like what kinda stuff?
...I don't know. Mostly being with you.
