[on tv show] They say that truth is the best indication against slander. So what’s the truth? Is she lying? Or am I about to become a grandfather again?[...] Believe nothing. Just because a wise man said it, or you read it in a book…words of divine order, or because your mother told you…it doesn’t make it true. Believe only what you yourself can test and judge to be true.[...] Falling in love is the easiest thing you’re ever gonna do. It’s the most exciting thing, the most powerful thing. That’s why falling out of love hurts like hell, but falling in love…there’s nothing better. It’s the best it ever gets. [...] A lifetime of love. Now there’s a miracle. Relationships aren’t always easy. I should know. I’m on my second marriage. How many of you are divorced? Divorce doesn’t just happen. And relationships don’t just end in an instant. [...] We all want to be loved…to be happy. So why aren’t we? Because we’ve become experts at sabotaging our own happiness. Feeling like victims, when in fact it’s the choices we make, the bad habits, the vices, the inability to show love and compassion. These are the things that tear us down. We’re not victims. We’re assassins when it comes to love and happiness.[...] Ah, we applaud the sentiment, but we don’t change. Why? Because we want what we want. So we do it, we say it, we try it and we victimize ourselves.[...] It’s a question of character. It’s really about who has better character. Is it Renee or Nathan?
S7 E7I and Love and You
What did you do to your ring anyways? (Clay looks at his hands) Your wedding band, where is it?
I don't know.
You don't know or you don't want to remember?
[Flashback - Clay askes Sara for advice on his outfit for his interview]
Hey Sara, what do you think?
I think you look like a boy playing dress up.
(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..
You're in.
Help.
Person interviewing you, it's a woman right?
(sighs) Yeah.
Jeans and a buttoned-up shirt and go heavy on the boyish grin.
You sure?
Hey, it got you me didn't it? (Clay laughs and kisses Sara)
I just don't think it'll be too casual.
(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.
(confused) Only I'm not married?
Then marry me you knucklehead.
Yes.. (Sara smiling and laughing happily) Yes..
Well there's that boyish grin (kisses Clay, both are grinning and smiling).
Sometimes we fall short of the people we were meant to be. Sometimes people do things they’re ashamed of. And usually after the guilt sets in, we make things worse. My son Nathan Scott is a good man, but sometimes people do funny things in the face of pressure and desperation, and the truth, well, the truth is an absolute. And the truth can set you free. My name is Dan Scott (True). I love my wife Rachel (True). My son Nathan loves me (True). I’m president of the United States (True). I’m Santa Claus (True). I didn’t kill my brother (True). Life is funny isn’t it? Sometimes bad things happen to good people and it isn’t fair.
[Flashback - Clay practicing his speech on convincing the players to sign him on Sara]
Can I give you my two cents?
Sure.
This is all about that wide receiver, right?
Yeah.
I think... you can do better.
Babe, this guy’s a big deal. He could change everything for me.
You said it yourself. He’s a bad guy.
And if I only represent good guys I may have no clients at all.
No, I don’t believe that. And I don’t think you do either.
The guy is great 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)
I’m so sorry you had to go through this.
I shouldn’t have been drunk at that party Haley.
You’re still young. We both are. I think we just forget that sometimes.
What are you listening to?
You know... I never changed it.
Clay..
I can't.
For me?
(Clay turns on record player)
[Flashback - Sara's tragic death]
(Music is playing from the record player)
(walks out from the room) I love this song.
You look beautiful.
Why thank you, handsome. Dance with me?
(Clay and Sara dance and kiss)
You know what I want? (teasing Clay)
What? (thinking it was something else)
Grape Kool-Aid. (laughs)
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.
(Sara holds her stomach and looks at Clay with a scared face)
What are you looking at you goof?
(Sara suddenly collapses on the floor)
Hey, Sara.. hey (Clay runs to Sara and tries to wake her up)
(Paramedics arrive and try to revive Sara, but it's too late)
(Clay is shocked as ever, not knowing what has just happened or what caused this)
(The record player stops and the paramedics carry Sara away)
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...
If you let someone in... you’ll erase me. You won't.
I can’t. (knocking on Clay's front door)
Open the door, Clay... (Clay looks at the door not wanting to go) Clay, it’s okay. On the count of 2.
(Clay walks up to his door)
1.. (Clay turns the door knob) 2.. (Clay opens the door and it's Quinn)
Hey. (Clay turns around and Sara is gone)
It’s not fair. We were supposed to have more time.
And you still do. I don’t want you to be alone honey. You like her, Quinn. Why’d you send her away?
I don’t want to lose us.
Oh you can’t erase who we were or what we had. No one can. We burned so bright together. You won’t lose that.
I loved you so much Sara.
You were perfect with me. And you always will be. But now it’s time to let go. It’s okay honey. (Sara holds up her hand wearing Clay's ring) I love you.
(Flashback to Sara's funeral. Clay is crying at her coffin. He places his wedding ring on her finger and cries)
You okay?
No. I need to know that you feel the same way that I do. That you can...see yourself doing this with me forever. Because if not, what am I doing? What... what are we doing? What.. who are we?
Hey. look at me. We're us, Brooke. You're the girl I love with all my heart. And I'm the boy who's gonna be with you forever. We don't have to rush into anything. Forever is a very long time.
S7 E8I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight
I’m not a guy’s guy. I don’t have homies.
I don’t think anyone has had homies since 1989.
When Hales was in high school she used to get really stressed about grades and tests, so we’d make her special brownies.
Special brownies? What’s in them?
You know, the usual: eggs, milk, brownie mix…a little weed.
Does she know that?
Nope.
Looks like the boys aren’t the only ones going on a trip tonight.
So Hales, Taylor’s recipe calls for an eighth of grand daddy purple.
What is that…some kind of breakfast cereal?
Not exactly…
Pot?!
Yup.
I have to go throw up. I can’t believe all these years you and Taylor were getting me high! I can’t be doing this. I have a child!
Who’s away for the weekend! You’ve had a rough few months…Who knew all these years tutor girl was actually stoner girl?
I’m so getting you back for this.
You knew Jamie needed that…how’d you know about the gate?
It’s no big deal, I saw it while I was getting fire wood.
95% of being a parent is instinct, and you’ve got great ones. You’ll be a great parent when the time comes.
