Suddenly it was as if the roar of the crowd, the echo of the final buzzers, the cheers of my teammates were all sounding from 1,000 miles away, and what remained in that bizarre, muffled silence was only Peyton. The girl whose art, passion, and beauty had changed my life. In that moment, my triumph was not a state championship, but simple clarity. The realization that we had always been meant for each other and every instinct to the contrary had simply been a denial of the following truth - I was now and would always be in love with Peyton Sawyer.
S5 E8Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want
Hi. I've been thinking about what you said earlier, and I get it. I wouldn't want to date you if you were sleeping with your boss either.
Brooke?
No, Victoria.
Ew.
I would totally date you if you were sleeping with Brooke.
Hi.
If you wanted to break my heart there were a thousand ways you could have done it. You did not have to propose to Lindsey to hurt me.
It didn't have anything to do with you. It's just .. weird timing.
Weird timing .. okay.
I know that it must seem like ...
NO! Don't marry her Luke!
Peyton you can't...
Am I crazy? Do you not feel what I have felt every day that we've been apart for the last three years? Because I have felt there is this vital piece of me that's been missing. And I tried to fill it, Luke. I tried to fill it...with work and friends and music. And it stayed empty until last night when you kissed me. And my entire universe snapped back into focus. Lucas, look me in the eye & tell me that that kiss did not feel exactly the same as it felt three years ago.
I'm in love with her, Peyton.
Hey… think maybe Whitey will let you out of practice early so we can catch a movie?
What are you doing Peyton?
Just pretending for a second that we're still seventeen and nothing's changed. Would you believe I actually met a girl who lives vicariously through us? At least us in the book.
Sure I do. It was a great story to be a part of, but it also took place a long time ago.
I know. I didn't come here to rehash the past. I was reminded today in a roundabout way that the most perfect act of love is sacrifice. It's what Keith did for Karen; burying his feelings for her for all those years so he could be a good friend. I love you Lucas. And I think I have since the first moment we locked eyes and it is going to suck but if what you want is for me to let go then I'm gonna do it. Be happy Luke. I want that with all my heart. [kisses his hand and walks away]
Dear Molly, this is gonna sound a little strange but I'd like you to paint over my old closet door. The thing is there is never a time when you will be more honest, and your convictions will be stronger, and your motives will be more pure than they are right now. Which means you should chase whatever excites you. Be confident, and take risks, and paint over my words so you can start writing your own. My story may have inspired you, but I'm certain your story will inspire the next girl to live in our room. I want you to know you don't need somebody to write about you in order for your life to mean something. You can write about yourself… make your own destiny. Then years from now the next girl will keep what you write on that door long enough to remind you how inspired your life is. And you can tell that girl to paint over the door because you realize the words you wrote, the friends you had, the urgency you felt will always be there under the paint. The love you professed will always be there, the spark of something undeniable, a seed of hope, the truth for better or for worse burning fiercely just below the surface. Love Peyton.
S5 E9For Tonight You're Only Here To Know
There is somebody that we know who is not coaching or playing in this game.
Don't ask me. I just moved here.
Brooke.
I don't want to.
Brooke.
I don't even know his number.
What's going on? What are you talking about?
Brooke's gonna call Owen, her new bartender crush to get us out.
I am not. It's too soon.
Brooke, we're gonna miss the game.
I don't wanna call him. It violates all the rules of dating. I'm gonna look like a desperate. He has to do us a favor and then he can make fun of me for it.
Oh my god.
Fine. I will call him. But if he does not sleep with me after this, it is your fault. All of you.
I think I'm okay with that
[Phone buttons beeping, Brooke laughs]
What?
My battery just died. It's great!
What?
Isn't that great?
Brooke, we're stuck.
Uh, stuck is not good!
I'm not gonna tell you how to be with Lindsey, but most of your life I've known you to take the high road.
I know, Brooke. I just, I'm so sick of looking at her and her precious ring.
Don't you mean YOUR precious ring?
Take a look at this picture. What do you see? There's a high school basketball game tonight somewhere in America and there's a great story there. But sometimes to find it, you have to look away, into the shadows on the fringe of the obvious. Can you see it? Look closer.
[singing] My name's Peyton. Fake blonde Peyton. I don't have a boyfriend. 'Cause I'm a bitch!
[Tim laughs]
Play it again, Mia.
Guys, We Need To Stop
[sternly] Mia.
[Mia starts to play]
[singing] Her name is Lindsey, Man-faced Lindsey. And her fiancee proposed to me first, with the very same ring!
You're lying!
Oh, you didn't know?
Peyton...
Oh, is she gonna cry?
Stop It
Go ahead lets cry little rich girl
I Said Stop It!
Is daddy gonna throw a big huge wedding at Walden Pond for his little cry baby daughter?
Peyton you don't know what your talking about!
It's fine Haley, daddy's gonna make everything better for the little rich girl who got everything she ever wanted!
He’s dead, all right Peyton. He's dead. He died two years ago from cancer but not until he couldn’t walk or talk or even recognize me, does that make you happy? Does that make you feel better? That his death is with me everyday, that I was the one was had to turn of the ventilator because my mother was too destroyed to do it.[starts to cry] You wanna hear the sound he made to before he took that last breath. Oh cause I can still hear it, exactly how it sounded. Does that make you happy? Are you glad that my life isn’t perfect ?
[shocked] Lindsey, I-
I used to admire the Peyton from the book, she seemed so noble, kind. I wish you were here Peyton, that version of you. What happened to her?
[to Peyton] The last time I was trapped in the school was the shooting. You know why Lindsay and I got so close? She was editing Lucas's book, and I still wasn't sure about her, 'cause I was rooting for Lucas to be with my friend Peyton, or maybe even Brooke. Anyway, she was working on the chapter about the shooting, and she said to me "I want this to be Lucas's best writing.The best he has in him, because Peyton deserves it. Jimmy and Keith deserve it, and that day deserves it." We've been friends ever since.
S5 E10Running To Stand Still
It's a simple question Nathan. Did you kiss her?
No, but she kissed me.
I need to get my stuff.
It's in the garage. Boxes are marked 'whore'.
[to the judges about Dan] My father abandoned my mother when she was pregnant with me. He left us to struggle on our own, even though he was a man of means. Growing up, I only had one person to look after me, Keith Scott. And this man killed him. His own brother, in cold blood at point-blank range. Next week, I'm getting married. Keith would have been my best man. But he's not gonna be there, just like he didn't see my state championship or see my first novel published. Dan took all that. And he did it with malice and premeditation. Dan is an educated man and if he is nothing, he's very persuasive. Do not let him fool you. He has a very dark and ugly heart. And he should never be allowed to walk the streets a free man.
[to the judges] When I was 17 years old, I fell in love. Her name was Karen. And for a long time, she loved me back. We had a son, Lucas. But we never became the family we should have been. Instead my brother Keith assumed that role. And in my heart something died. I deserve to be in here. There's no excuse for the crime that I committed. And believe me when I tell you I spend every moment wishing I could take that fateful day back. Keith Scott is dead because of me. And that's something I have to live with for the rest of my life. So I'll just make one pledge here today. If at some time you decide to grant me my freedom, know that I'll spend every living moment trying to mend the lives of the people that I hurt by my actions. Because I've lost more than my freedom. I've lost something far more important than that. My family. These young men stand at the dawn of their adult lives. So far, because of what I put them through, they've had it pretty rough. They deserve better. They deserve a father. I hope some day you'll give them that.
S5 E11You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side
Morning.
Morning.
Poor Nathan.
Yeah, I know. If I'd have known he'd be here for a week, I'd have cleared my mom's room
Have they even seen each other this week?
No. I don't think they've spoken.
Right. Last thing I want Haley worrying about is throwing a bachelorette party when her marriage is strung.
Skills could do it. I mean, he is so excited for my bachelor party.
Oh. That worries me.
