Julian Baker quotes from One Tree Hill

Brooke

Was I sleep fighting again?

Julian

Yes! No more Kick Ass for my wife before bed.

Brooke

The pizza was a good call.I'm glad you got it wrong... What?

Julian

I think we should adopt.

Brooke

What? Are you sure?

Julian

I think about what my life was like before I found you, who I was and how I was, and it is so much better now.I know there's a child out there for us,one we'll look at and think, "how could we have ever gone through life without this?" And they'll look at us, and they'll know they are loved and wanted and needed. And they'll know we searched for them...Like I searched for you.

Brooke

I want that so much,and I want it with you. But are you surewe're ready?

Julian

We're ready.

Brooke

What a perfect day.Do you think I'll be a good mom?

Julian

You'll be an amazing mom.I'll be grouchy and old.

Brooke

You'll be wonderful.We're gonna adopt a baby.

Julian

She just changed her mind, Brooke. She didn't want to do it alone, and then she wasn't alone. She held her in her arms,and she just couldn't go through with it.

Brooke

It was a girl?

Julian

Yeah.

Nathan

So, Kellerman came to see me yesterday. He admitted that it was him. He resigned his teaching position, and he offered to pay any costs associated with the accident, and he apologized.

Julian

He apologized?!

Nathan

I'm not defending him, Julian. I just wanted you to know what happened. He said that he was hoping we wouldn't go to the cops, but if we did, he would accept whatever happens.

Julian

You see, this is what I'm talking about, Nate...so now it's on us? So I got to feel guilty if we turn in Kellerman for getting drunk and driving like an idiot? Great! That's on me now.

Nathan

And me.What do you think?

Julian

I don't know. What do you think?

Nathan

I think Kellerman's life was academia, and he just lost that. But if you want to turn him in, I'm completely fine with that, too.This has nothing to do with Ian or Fortitude.

Julian

I know that, but I want to talk to him.

Nathan

Ian?

Julian

August Kellerman. I want to look him in the eye and hear his side of things.

Nathan

I think that's fair

Julian

My name is Julian Baker. My wife, Brooke, was in the car you hit.

I'm sorry for that.

Julian

And you think that's enough? I watched her lungs fill with water because of what you did. I watched her eyes go dim.

I said I was sorry.

Julian

Well, "sorry" isn't enough. You insensitive jerk, that's my wife...you understand?...I nearly lost my wife. Nathan nearly lost his son. Do you know what that feels like?

Yes I do. I've lost both.

Julian

Hey.I think you should take that job in New York.

Brooke

Would you be okay with that?

Julian

I'd be great with that. Are you kidding? I think it'd be good for both of us. Getting out of Tree Hill. What do you think?

Brooke

I think you're right. I think we'd be happy in New York.

Brooke

Hey, handsome.

Julian

Hi.

Brooke

I turned down the job.

Julian

In New York? Why?

Brooke

When I was living there and running Clothes Over Bros, my office looked out on this building nearby, and on the rooftop was a playground where all the grade-school kids would have recess. And some days when things were crazy...which was most days..I'd look out, and I'd watch those kids run around, and I'd think, "that's no way to play." I mean, I love New York, but living in constant fear of losing the kickball over the roof of your playground is kind of a rough way to grow up.

Julian

So you turned down the job because the schools have playgrounds on the roof?

Brooke

I turned down the job because I don't want our child to have a playground on the roof. Unless it's the roof of my store here in Tree Hill.

Julian

Okay, you're losing me.

Brooke

Chase had to take a drug test, but a guy in Kid Cudi's posse made him take a hit of a joint, so he asked Alex to pee in a cup for him because she's sober. Except Alex isn't really sober because she accidentally ate some of Quinn's pot brownies, so Alex came over to ask you, because her and Chase are getting closer, and she wanted to be the one to help him, but you weren't home, so Alex asked me. And the lab called Chase and said that he's pregnant.

Julian

What?

Brooke

So Chase told Alex, and Alex told me, and I took a pregnancy test. We're pregnant.

Julian

Baby! I knew you could do it.

Julian

It's nice of you,to do this...spend a weekend trying to help Jamie. I'm sure he appreciates it.

Nathan

Yeah. You know, sometimes I think about when we were kids and the memories I have of my parents and their friends. And then I think, "this is what they'll remember when they look back." You know, these are the days that they'll stories about. That's when I feel like I can do better, that I have the responsibility to try. You know, Jamie's gonna miss you when you leave to New York. He'll miss you and Brooke. We all will.

Julian

Uh...We're not leaving. Brooke passed on the job.

Nathan

How come?

Julian

Because she's pregnant.

Nathan

But I-I thought...

Julian

That she couldn't get pregnant? So did we. But she is. We just found out. I'm not supposed to tell anybody yet, so...

Nathan

You fertile bastard.Wow.

Julian

I hope it's a girl and that she's just like her mom and that someday, she'll be best friends with Lydia Scott.

Nathan

I'll drink to that.

Julian

I got the reviews.

Brooke

Well, in that case, we'll read one to you. And no matter what they say, I say the movie is wonderful, and everyone who's going to see it. "Let's all agree right now that they've ruined movies..."

Julian

Oh, boy.

Brooke

"Today's films have become loud, crass, and predictable. Rare is the film that whispers. And yet, into this arena comes Julian Baker's 'Seven Dreams 'til Tuesday,' A gentle voice that cuts through the white noise of modern filmmaking.With a wonderful script and lead performance by...Alex Duprè"

I seem to be getting two heartbeats.

Brooke

That's normal, right? I mean, mine and the baby's?

Well, let me rephrase it. If we're counting yours, I seem to be getting three heartbeats.

Julian

Are you sure, doc? I mean,does that mean...

Well, I've only been doing this for 30 years, but, yes. Congratulations.You're carrying twins.

Julian

The next three months will fly by, I'm sure. Come here. You know how I told you not to worry? Well, I guess what I should have said is, I know you're gonna worry, but when you do, I'm here.

Brooke

Okay.

Julian

This is our miracle, Brooke Davis. And now it's two miracles. And no girl deserves it more.

Julian

Hi, gorgeous.

Brooke

Sometimes I sit in here, and it feels like Christmas Eve. And I remember the joy and the anticipation and the excitement I felt knowing Christmas was almost here. I feel that way now.

Julian

I know that feeling. It's how I felt when I first met you. It's how I still feel when I see you. I find myself wondering who I was before us. And I'm sure in three months, I'll be wondering who I was before we had a family.

Julian

Brooke. Baby, I'm right here.

Brooke

I'm sorry.

Julian

Shh. No, it's okay.You did great.

Brooke

Are they okay?

Julian

Our sons are here. And you're here.Our family's gonna be just fine. I promise.

Julian

Are the boys okay?

Victoria

Of course they're okay. I've done this before ya know?

Brooke

Barely.
