One Tree Hill quotes

Rachel

I feel like we are connected somehow Nathan. Like we're the only two people on the planet trying to understand this. Well, maybe we can help each other through it.

Nathan

Haley's pregnant.

Rachel

You mean Brooke.

Nathan

No, the rumors are wrong. It's Haley. You know, ten minutes ago, I was this close to my dream. For a moment, I actually knew who I was going to be, and now...

Rachel

I didn't see Keith. I'm sorry, I heard you talking to Peyton at the party, and I'm an idiot.

Nathan

Figures.

Rachel

Nathan, you're gonna be okay.

Nathan

Sure. I owe thousands of dollars in hospital bills, my wife's pregnant, and I think my dead uncle saved my life.

Rachel

Your parents have money, your baby's going to be beautiful, and maybe your dead uncle saved your life because you're destined for greatness... If Haley wasn't pregnant, did I have a shot?

Nathan

Not for a second.

Nathan

As many of you know, I called this press conference today to announce where I'm planning to play basketball in college. I got a lot of great offers but its always been my dream to play in Duke University, so ah... that's where I plan to go but... You know, my father said that today will be the greatest day of my life, and you're right dad, it is. But it's not because of basketball. You see, today I learned that my wife Haley is pregnant. It's an absolute honor to be recruited by Duke University. I guess what I have to say to you today is this: where I play basketball, if I play basketball, is no longer a decision for me to make alone. It's a decision that I make with my wife and my family's best interests at heart, and when I do I'll let you all know. My wife couldn't be here today so, I just wanted to say one thing to her: Haley, no matters what happens, we face it together. I promise you, I've never been happier. Everything is gonna be okay. I love you. Thank you.

Nathan

You know, I thought it was a miracle that I survived that accident. And I guess I never really felt worthy of it. Now I know that miracle wasn't for me. It was for us. All three of us!

Peyton

Can you believe this? Derek. Is it any wonder that I have commitment issues?

Lucas

Yeah. You're pretty much the Bermuda Triangle of relationships.

Peyton

Thanks [Looks at her watch] Oh crap. Turn around.

Lucas

What?

Peyton

Turn around: I have to change.

Lucas

Oh. [turns around]

Peyton

[While changing] You know, I just can't believe what a creep he turned out to be. And I just let him waltz into my house. Like "Hey, I'm a crazy psycho, can I come in?", and I'm all like "Yeah, sure! Wanna see my bedroom?"

Lucas

Peyton.

Peyton

And he's still out there.

Lucas

They'll find him, OK? The detectives said they'll call when they do and then we'll finally have some answers. Until then, you're safe with me, I promise!

Peyton

You're always saving me.

Peyton

OK, you can turn around.

Lucas

[Turns around and sees Peyton in her cheerleader's uniform] Whoah! is this your way of saying thank you?

Peyton

Nice try! A few of the cheerleaders have to be at Nathan's press conference.

Lucas

Oh wow! I forgot about that. Wouldn't you be safer just to avoid the whole thing?

Peyton

No, I'm not gonna hide out because of Derek. No way.

Lucas

Actually I meant because Brooke might be there.

Lucas

[voiceover] When life comes at you out of the darkness, who will you choose to face it with? Will they be wise? Will their love for you help them to lead you to the light, or will they lose their way in the darkness? Will they make noble choices, or will that person be someone untested, someone new? Life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness. And when it does, is there someone you can depend on when it does?

Lucas

We'll protect you.

Peyton

I can take care of myself.

Lucas

Hey, I know that...but, it's okay to be afraid from time to time.

Peyton

Really, what are you afraid of?

Lucas

This morning I asked Whitey if I could play again.

Peyton

That's great Luke.

Lucas

Yeah, but with my heart condition, it still doesn't change the fact that it's scary.

Peyton

Well, then why are you playing?

Lucas

'Cause it's who I am -- and you [lifts her hat off her head] need to be who you are.

Peyton

I'm out of here.

Lucas

Wait! Peyton, if you let this change you... he wins.

Peyton

Well, maybe he wins.

Lucas

[looking at Peyton's drawing] Kinda dark, isn't it?

Peyton

I love you, Luke, but I've chosen darkness.

Lucas

This is Keith's number.

Whitey

Yup, and I'm pretty sure he'd want you to have it.

Whitey

[to Lucas] You know, it took every ounce of strength your mother has to come in here and ask me to take you back. She loves you that much, enough to put your dreams ahead of her fears. You've got fifteen minutes a game to make her proud... and a lifetime to make them both proud.

Nathan

Hey! Come ooon... [pulls her down]

Haley

Hey. [laughs] I was getting that.

Nathan

You shouldn't be straining yourself. You can't risk falling and stuff.

Haley

Relax, I'm pregnant, not elderly.

You've been so supportive of me and my dream for music, so I just wanna be supportive of you and your dream for playing at Duke. So I wanna do this for us, okay?

Nathan

How did I get so lucky?

Haley

It helps that you're hot.

Nathan

Well thank you, you're gonna be so happy there.

Nathan

I wanna say thanks. I know how hard it was for you to throw those points away. Look, I'll make it up to you and the team at State okay? Point shaving was just a one time thing... it's over now.

Lucas

Nathan... you know I'll always be there for you. But, never again.

Lucas

[voiceover] Regret comes in all shapes and sizes. Some are small , like when we do a bad thing, for a good reason. Some are bigger, like when we let down a friend. Some of us escape the pains of regret by making the right choice. Some of us have little time for regret, because we're looking forward to the future. Sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past. And sometimes we bury our regret, by promising to change our ways. But our biggest regrets are not for the things we did... but the things we didn't do. The things we didn't say that could save someone we care about. Especially when we can see the dark storm that's headed their way.

Rachel. Asked me. To tutor her.

Lucas

You're tutoring Rachel?

Haley

Hell no, I said she asked me.

Whitey

[after being presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award] Let me tell you, this award means an awful lot to me. I might have given a lifetime to this team, but the players, the players have given me so much more. You know, basketball was my first love. And, as most of you in here realize, you don't forget your first love. My only regret is that I can't share this wonderful moment with the other love of my life, my late wife, Camilla. Camilla was the only person who ever fully understood me. Being with her made everything else seem less important. The moment I met her, I knew that I was looking at my future. And I knew no person could ever come between us. I know Camilla would have liked this group of boys. I want to thank them, and I want to thank all of you for allowing me to spend a lifetime with my first love. Thank you.
