Deb Lee quotes from One Tree Hill

Deb

She's young enough to be your daughter. And in this town, she might just be.

Dan

Ouch!

Deb

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Deb

How did we become so broken?

Keith

We fell in love, and at some point, the people we love forgot to love us back.

Deb

I miss Nathan.

Karen

I miss Keith.

Peyton

I miss Jake.

Brooke

I don't really miss Felix, at all. Or my parents that much. But I miss my money.

Dan

Where is all my stuff, Deb?

Deb

I gave it away.

Dan

You what?!

Deb

I had to. It was all wet and smelly.

Dan

And how did that happen?

Deb

The sprinklers came on by accident after I tossed everything out the window. That part was on purpose.

Deb

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.

Nathan

No. [Starts to walk away]

Deb

Please Nathan, wait.

Nathan

No. You didn't have the courage to leave him, but you had the courage to kill him.

Deb

Nathan.

Nathan

Mom, what are you doing here?

Deb

You have something that belongs to me.

Nathan

Mom, I'm not doing this.

Deb

I want my pills. I’m not leaving here until I get my damn pills.

Nathan

OK. Go ahead, take them, but I'm warning you it's either the pills or me.

Haley

Stay away from him! For all I care you can go to hell, but I won't let you take Nathan with you.

Deb

Talk to me in a few years Haley, when your dreams are dead, and your child betrays you. Then we'll see what kind of mother you'll be.

Haley

No, no, I will never, ever be like you Deb.

Deb

Pretty soon Nathan's going to realize playing college basketball is a lot more fun than playing house. I'll save you some pills.

Haley

Who are you kidding Deb? Junkies don't save pills.

Deb

I don't belong here, I'm a good person. So I pop pills, I haven't killed anybody. Sure maybe I started a fire once, and I did discharge a firearm recently, but it was an accident. The bottom line is... I don't need this place.

Deb, I've been in your shoes.

Deb

Gucci? I don't think so.

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.

Deb

Jamie I was not kissing Uncle Skills. I mean, first of all, he’s your parents age and one of Uncle Lucas’s best friends. It just wouldn’t be right.

Jamie

I think it’d be cool

Deb

Yeah?

Jamie

Yeah... Grampa Skills!

Deb

I can't lose him, Dan.

Dan

I know.

Deb

He's all I have.

Dan

I'll get him back. I'll make everything alright again.
