Clay Evans quotes from One Tree Hill

Clay

"Sometimes i think that we waste our words and we waste our moments and we dont take the time to say the things that are in our hearts when we have the chance.."

Clay

I just got in the car one day and started driving. Stayed in cheap hotels, ate fast food. Nobody saw me or looked me in the eye. That's how I wanted it to be. I drove uh, I drove as far as I could and I decided that uh, when I ran out of road uh I would check into a hotel somewhere and I'd kill myself. That's when I saw her. At the end of the road. She was standing on the balcony of a stupidly large beach house. So I rented it and stayed up that night talking to her like we used to. And she told me to stop feeling sorry for myself and to get back to work. So I did. And then I found Nate.

Haley

You wanna pay her? You know full well this lying whore didn't sleep with Nathan and you wanna pay her two hundred thousand dollars?

Clay

Wow I don't want to. I just simply suggested it and said it was an option.

Haley

It's not an option Clay, and while we are suggesting things, let me suggest that you are a huge reason why it's happening right now. You love it, the parties, the women and you love having Nathan alongside more than anything else.

Clay

That's not fair.

Haley

No? The picture... the one of that woman draped all over my husband. What party was that at Clay? Who threw that party? I'm not saying you don't love him 'cause I know you do but you love having him at your side more than anything else. You could have protected him from this..

Clay

How Haley? He is a grown man....

Haley

So are you... Just start acting like it...

Clay

I’m sorry. Everything you said was true. I love Nate and you and Jamie, and I should’ve done better by all of you but I'm sorry.

Haley

We’re not paying her.

Clay

And if that's what you decide then of course we are not. But it's not my dream, and it's not your dreams. In part it is but it's Nathan dream. He's worked so hard for it and he deserves it and I just wanna protect him. I mean for him and for you.

Haley

This isn't fair..

Clay

I know it's not, but, if paying that woman with the money he makes out of one commercial, protects Jamie from all of this, if he keeps his name safe and his crew safe and you both finally got what you've been chasing forever I think it's something we should consider...

Clay

This is the amount we’re willing to pay you.

Renee

It’s empty.

Clay

Yeah, it’s empty because you’re a lying bitch and we’re not paying you a dime. Go to Hell.

Clay

All right. Even if it’s incredibly riveting watching you lift weights, I think I'm gonna get out. What time are you going to the fashion show tonight?

Nathan

I don’t know. Whenever. You're going?

Clay

Do I really want to watch a group of hot models walking around the stage? Dude, I’m getting there early

Sara

Oh, oh, oh, oh so let's run down the list. There's blondie from the body wash commercial.

Clay

She has a name you know, it's Kylie.

Sara

Of course it is. There's the actress who can be in your bed in 20 minutes.. make it 30 and there's this one, Nathan's sister-in-law. It's a little early for a beer isn't it? You know what I want? Grape Kool-Aid.

Clay

Stop it.

Sara

It's okay if you like her.

Clay

No.. it's not.

Sara

Why not?

Clay

Because she's somebody's wife.

Sara

So.. I was your wife.

Clay

Yeah.. but you left me.

Sara

Things change Clay. She's beautiful and you like her.

Clay

She's not you. Look I have to watch Nathan's and my career possibly end on this nightmare TV show. You can go if you want.

Sara

Oh don't be silly babe, I'm not going anywhere.

Clay

We were really hammered that night. It was the longest roadtrip of the year and I...

Sara

You were lonely.

Clay

I'm always lonely.

Sara

On the count of 2.

Clay

That's a long way down.

Sara

Thanks, that really helps me right now.

Clay

(laughs) Sorry, I-I'm just not a huge fan of heights yeah. Beer bongs I can do, I think their a beautiful college tradition er.. streaking through the quad, another one.

Sara

I could do that.

Clay

Yeah? Man did I pick the wrong school. (Sara laughs) I'm Clay.

Sara

Hi, I'm Sara.

Clay

How about we do this together? On the count of 2.

Sara

Wait... on the count of 2? Nobody goes on the count of 2.

Clay

Yeah I know, it'll be our thing, something to tell the grandkids about.

Sara

Oh, oh.. well I'm going to tell them about streaking on the quad.

Clay

Yeah nobody wants to hear from their grandparents.

Sara

(Sara laughs)

Clay

Actually I take that back, everyone would love hearing that from their grandparents.

Sara

(Sara laughs again)

Clay

Atta girl, you ready? You okay? (Sara nods). 1... 2...

Clay

See.. how badass were you?

Sara

(kisses Clay) Tell that to the grandkids (laughs and swims away).

Sara

What did you do to your ring anyways? (Clay looks at his hands) Your wedding band, where is it?

Clay

I don't know.

Sara

You don't know or you don't want to remember?

Clay

Hey Sara, what do you think?

Sara

I think you look like a boy playing dress up.

Clay

(sighs) C'mon, this is my shot I-I get in the mail room, I become the assistant, they make me junior agent and I'm in..

Sara

You're in.

Clay

Help.

Sara

Person interviewing you, it's a woman right?

Clay

(sighs) Yeah.

Sara

Jeans and a buttoned-up shirt and go heavy on the boyish grin.

Clay

You sure?

Sara

Hey, it got you me didn't it? (Clay laughs and kisses Sara)

Clay

I just don't think it'll be too casual.

Sara

(grabs a wedding ring from the drawer) Here, (puts ring on Clay's finger) married says mature, stable and dependable. Everything they want to see in a future agent.

Clay

(confused) Only I'm not married?

Sara

Then marry me you knucklehead.

Clay

Yes.. (Sara smiling and laughing happily) Yes..

Sara

Well there's that boyish grin (kisses Clay, both are grinning and smiling).

Sara

Can I give you my two cents?

Clay

Sure.

Sara

This is all about that wide receiver, right?

Clay

Yeah.

Sara

I think... you can do better.

Clay

Babe, this guy’s a big deal. He could change everything for me.

Sara

You said it yourself. He’s a bad guy.

Clay

And if I only represent good guys I may have no clients at all.

Sara

No, I don’t believe that. And I don’t think you do either.

Clay

The guy is great Sara.

Sara

He’s not great. He’s just a great player. And the man I love knows the difference. That’s what’s going to make you a great agent. You’ll find players that you can believe in and clients that become friends. You’ll find someone that has integrity, and character and heart. And that will change everything for you. And that’s the man I fell in love with.(Clay kisses Sara)

Sara

What are you listening to?

Clay

You know... I never changed it.

Sara

Clay..

Clay

I can't.

Sara

For me?

Clay

(Clay turns on record player)

Sara

(walks out from the room) I love this song.

Clay

You look beautiful.

Sara

Why thank you, handsome. Dance with me?

Sara

You know what I want? (teasing Clay)

Clay

What? (thinking it was something else)

Sara

Grape Kool-Aid. (laughs)

Clay

You know what I hate? I hate these pens, it's either way too much fluid or not nearly enough but it's never the right amount and it costs a fortune.

Clay

What are you looking at you goof?

Clay

Hey, Sara.. hey (Clay runs to Sara and tries to wake her up)

Sara

Clay...

Clay

Sometimes I can’t see you anymore. I forget things about you, and I’m afraid that I’m losing us... like the way you smelled, and uh the sound of your voice, and the way you felt uh in my arms and um...

Sara

If you let someone in... you’ll erase me. You won't.

Clay

I can’t. (knocking on Clay's front door)

Sara

Open the door, Clay... (Clay looks at the door not wanting to go) Clay, it’s okay. On the count of 2.

Sara

1.. (Clay turns the door knob) 2.. (Clay opens the door and it's Quinn)

Quinn

Hey. (Clay turns around and Sara is gone)
