My best friend recently reminded me of a quote, by William Shakespeare,that seems appropriate. "There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound up in sorrows and in miseries. On such a full sea, are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves or lose our ventures." I think that what that quote means is that life is short and, opportunities are rare, and we have to be vigilant in protecting them. And, not only the opportunities to succeed but, the opportunity to laugh, to see the enchantment in the world, and...to live, because life doesn't owe us anything. As a matter of fact, I think we owe something to the world. And, if we can just believe...(Laughs nervously a few times) I'm sorry, I have more I just, think I'm having my baby. (Everyone looks startled. Nathan stands up as Haley smiles at him nervously.)

(to her father) My boyfriend's black.
That's ok, honey. My son's black too. We deal with it.
I wish we never left that hotel room in Honey Grove, 'cause you're perfect, and we're perfect, and that night was perfect.
Well saying that just earned you another one.
I have to get back to the hospital.
Can I come with you?
Sure, Just let me hold you for a few more minutes. That's what's gonna fix me.
Hey.
Hey! What's wrong?
Nothing...
Oh come on! We're gonna be graduating soon! We all know graduating plus partying equals Brooke Davis minus her clothes.
You know when I was a freshman I wasn't a very good person. I mean sure I was popular and dated seniors....but as a person I was pretty lost. And over the last 4 years I've been forced to grow up. I stopped letting boys define me and I started believing in myself and in my potential. I ran for student council president and I designed a clothing line and somewhere along the way, the lost little party girl became the girl on the wall of honor. I know what I did was wrong, Mr.Turner, I know. But the girl I was when I came to this school, I'm not so sure she would've. And isn't that the point of high school? I mean isn't that what you've been trying to teach us for the last 4 years?
