Sara : Why not? Clay : Because she's somebody's wife. Sara : So? I was your wife. Clay : Yeah. But you left me. Sara : Things change, Clay. She's beautiful... And you like her. Clay : She's not you. Look, I have to watch Nathan's and my career possibly ends on this nightmare TV show. You can go if you want. Sara : No, don't be silly, babe. I'm not going anywhere. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Oh, hey, hey, hey, here. Quinn : Thanks. Haley : Oh, what is all this? Quinn : David dropped off some of my stuff. Haley : In the garage? Quinn : Not exactly. Look, Hales, I thought I’d just watch from my room. You know, to give you and Nathan some space. But I’m here if you need me. Haley : I know, Quinny. Thank you. Quinn : Okay. Haley : Nathan... Hey, um, it's gonna start soon. Nathan : It's been a good life, huh? Haley : Yeah. It's been a wonderful life. You know, when this show is over, it's still gonna be a wonderful life because I love you and your son loves you, and nothing that happens in the next hour is gonna change that. Nathan : God, I needed to hear you say that. Haley : Good. I really needed to say it. AT TV BROADCAST Dan : My guest tonight's grown rather infamous Over the last few weeks. Her name is Renee Richardson, and she's nearly 4 months pregnant. And she claims that this NBA player Is the father of her unborn child. That player happens to be my son. They say that truth is the best vindication against slander. So what is the truth? Is she lying, or am I about to become a grandfather again? We'll meet her and hear her story when we come back ... Believe nothing just because a wise man said it or you read it in a book or it's of divine origin Or simply because your mother told you. It doesn't make it true. Believe only what you yourself can test and judge to be true. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest, Renee Richardson. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : Here we go. AT TV BROADCAST Dan : Hi, Renee. Renee : Hi. Thank you for having me. Dan : She's pretty. Crazy-looking as all hell, but...pretty. We're gonna talk about a lot of things tonight, but just to set the stage, can you tell us a little bit about the night of the alleged affair, the first time you met Nathan? Renee : Um, we had been to a lot of the same parties and clubs, but we hadn't really been introduced. Dan : And that was, what, nearly four months ago? Renee : Um, that's right. Uh, I remember because it was the night of the Memphis game, and Nathan scored his season high that night. 35 points, 11 assists, and six boards? [Flashback – at the party] Clay : You klled it tonight! Here is to your contract year and to making my job a hell of a lot easier. Cheers. Renee : Excuse me? I'm sorry. I don't mean to bother you, but could we get a picture? Clay : Absolutely. just give us one second. Dude, having you around is so much better than a puppy. But seriously... I'm proud of you, and I love you, and you absolutely deserve this. Whew. Oh, yeah, that's the one. all right, let's do this. Nathan Scott, the girls. The girls, Nathan Scott. Renee : Hi. Nathan. Nice to meet you. Nathan : How you doing? Nathan. All right. All right. Renee : Mmm. Somebody smells good. Nathan : That's the rainstorm body spray. Clay : All right, let's make it look sexy. And on the count of 2. 1...2. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : We were really hammered that night. It was the longest road trip of the year. Sara : You were lonely. Clay : I'm always lonely. Sara : On the count of 2. [Flashback – near the river] Guys : Whoo! Clay : That's a long way down. Sara : Thanks. That really helps me right now. Clay : Sorry, I’m -- I’m just not a huge fan of heights. Yeah -- You know, beer bongs I can do. I think they are a beautiful college tradition. Streaking through the quad -- that's another one. Sara : Well, I could do that. Clay : Yeah? Man, did I pick the wrong school. I'm clay. Sara : Hi. I’m Sara. Clay : How about we do this together? * and just like that, it's over * Clay : On the count of 2. Sara : Wait! On the count of 2? Nobody goes on the count of 2. Clay : Yeah, I know. I’ll be our thing -- Something we can tell the grandkids about. Sara : Well, I’m gonna tell them about streaking on the quad. Clay : Yeah, nobody wants to hear that from their grandparents. Actually, I take that back. Everyone would love hearing that from their grandparents Atta girl. You ready? You okay? On 2. 1... 2. * that song you softly sing is keeping you from breaking * Clay : How badass were you? Sara : Tell that to the grandkids. AT TV BROADCAST Dan : Let's back up a little bit to when you were younger. We did our research and found out you were once... A cheerleader... Renee : Uh, yes. ... Dan : And a homecoming queen... And, more recently, a hostess in a club. Renee : Uh, yes, but there was no nudity or anything. Dan : I understand. my wife was a stripper – a little nudity. Have you ever been married? Renee : No. Dan : But you knew Nathan was married. Renee : I-I felt bad about it. I mean, obviously, I-I wish that he wasn't, But...I was attracted to him. Dan : And attraction is not a choice. It just is. Have you ever been in love, Renee? Renee : Yes. Dan : It feels good, doesn't it? Falling in love is the easiest thing you're ever gonna do. It's the most exciting thing. It's 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. [Flashback – at Quinn’s house] Quinn : Hey. Mm. David : Did I ever tell you how amazing you are? Quinn : Mnh-mnh. David : You're amazing... and beautiful... and talented. And one of these days, I’m gonna get you a real darkroom, not just some cramped apartment bathroom. Quinn : Stop. Come here. Look at this. Look how happy you are. I don't need a big darkroom. I just need you to always be that happy, 'cause you deserve that. David : How'd I get so lucky with you? Quinn : Technically, you haven't gotten lucky just yet. But I think you're about to. David : Oh! We got to get a bigger darkroom. AT TV BROADCAST Dan : And then you kissed. Renee : Yes. Dan : And the kissing escalated. Renee : Yes. Dan : When we come back, We're gonna talk a little about love and loss and how we're sometimes our own worst enemies. And then we're gonna find out if Renee is telling the truth, after this. [Flashback – at Quinn’s house] David : You awake? Quinn : Depends. Good news or bad news? David : That video position came up at work again. And I took it. Quinn : David, why? David : Because I'm tired of being poor. Quinn : We're not poor. We're frugal. David : Mrs. Padilla said she's been driving you to work. Quinn : It's just sometimes the car won't start. David : How do you get home? Quinn : I catch a ride or I walk. David : Quinn. Quinn : I like walking. Baby, what about your documentary? I stopped at the library and got the grant forms. It's what we've talked about. It's what you've always wanted. David : And I’ll still want it a year from now. But this is good money, Quinn. I want to get you a house... and that darkroom. Quinn : I don't need those things. I need you to be happy and inspired. David : Well, this will make me happy and you'll keep me inspired. Please? Say it’s okay? Say, "Okay." Quinn : Okay, okay, Okay, okay, okay. Promise me you'll fill out the forms. David : Of course. Quinn : And if something comes up, then, that you'll take it. David : Of course, of course, of course, of course. I promise. Quinn : Okay. David : I love you, you know that? Quinn : I love you, too. AT TV BROADCAST Dan : Falling in love is easy. But a lifetime of love -- now, there's a miracle. NEAR THE RIVER Brooke : You know I love you. And you know I fired Alex, but you're still working with her. Julian : I like her script, Brooke. Brooke : You like her script or you like her? AT TV BROADCAST Dan : Relationships aren't always easy. I should know. I’m on my second marriage. Yep. How many of you are divorced? Divorce doesn't just happen and relationships don't just end in an instant. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Sara : What'd you do with your ring, anyway? Your wedding band. Where is it? Clay : I don't know. Sara : You don't know, or you don't want to remember? [Flashback – at Clay’s beach house] Clay : Hey, Sara... What do you think? Sara : I think you look like a boy playing dress-up. Clay : Come on. This is my sht. I got to get in the mailroom, I become an assistant, they make me junior agent, And I’m in. And you're in. Help. Sara : The person interviewing you -- it's a woman, right? Clay : Yeah. Sara : Jean sand a button-up shirt, and go heavy on the boyish grin. Clay : You sure? Sara : Hey, it got you me, didn't it? Clay : You don't think that will be too casual? Sara : Here. Married says mature, sab, and dependable -- Everything they'll want to see in a future agent. Clay : Only I’m not married. Sara : Then marry me, you knucklehead. Clay : Yes. Yes! Sara : Well, there's that boyish grin! AT TV BROADCAST Dan : 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. Renee is beautiful, and she's smart, and she wants love in her life, And yet who did she choose to sleep with? Allegedly. A man who was unavailable to her. Now, she may be telling the truth... And she may deserve compensation, but she is no victim. Oh. We applaud the sentiment, but we don't change. Why? Because we want what we want. So we do it, we say it, try it, and we victimize ourselves, and we hire an attorney, and it has to stop. Renee... You say Nathan Scott, My son, is the father of your unborn child, right? Renee : Yes. Dan : I believe you. I think you're telling the truth and more than that, I'm going to prove it... With the help of this lie-detector machine...when we come back. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : This is just -- This is unbelievable. AT TV BROADCAST Rachel : Two minutes, guys. Renee : What is this about? Rachel : What's what about, honey? Renee : No, I-I didn't agree to this. Rachel : Relax. It's great television. Renee : No, you don't – Rachel : here's the thing -- If you're lying, science will prove it eventually, and if not, you have nothing to worry about. Don't forget to smile. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Nathan. Nathan : Do you believe this? Do you realize how ridiculous this is? The guy sht his brother at point blank range, and now he has a ht TV show. He's rolling out some rigged-up lie-detector machine, And I have to sit 3,000 miles away and just take it. Haley : Screw him. I mean it. Let's not even watch the rest of the show. It's a nice day. It's a nice life. Nathan : How can you be so strong? AT TV BROADCAST Dan : It's a question of character. It's really about who has better character. Is it Renee... or Nathan? [Flashback – at Clay’s beach house] Clay : And if you sign with me, I promise you that the energy and resources That I’ll dedicate to you and your career will be unmatched. Sara : Okay. I’m in! Can I give you my two cents? Clay : Sure. Sara : This is all still about that wide receiver, right? Clay : Yeah. Sara : I think... you can do better. Clay : Babe, this guy is a big deal. I mean, he can change everything for me. Sara : But you said it yourself -- he's a bad guy. Clay : And if I only represent good guys, I may have no clients at all. Sara : No, I don't believe that. I don't think you do, either. Clay : The guy is great, Sara. Sara : He’s not great. He's just a great player. And the man I love knows the difference. That's what's gonna make you a great agent. You'll find players that you can believe in and clients that become friends. You'll find someone Who has integrity and character and heart. And that will change everything for you. And that's the man I fell in love with. NEAR THE RIVER Brooke : I love you, you know that. Julian : I know. Brooke : You really hurt my feelings when you said we weren't getting married. Julian : When did I ever say anything about marriage? Brooke : When your dad came to town. You said we weren't getting married like it was some sort of completely ridiculous notion to you. Julian : No. Brooke, I was venting. It had nothing to do with the actual concept of marrying you. I think about that all the time. Brooke : Really? Julian : Yeah. Brooke : Well, good, because that's what I wrote in the sand. That night you said you were gonna take that movie in New Zealand, I-I wrote "marry me" in the sand, and then I didn't tell you because you said you were leaving. Surprise. [Flashback – at Quinn’s house] Quinn : David? David. What is this? David : Surprise. AT TV BROADCAST Dan : I know this is a surprise, but we have an expression on this show -- Step into the light... Public : Together and get yourself right! ... Dan : and get yourself right. During the break, we hooked Renee up to a lie detector, And here's how it works. I'll ask Renee a question, and depending on her answer, the words "TRUE" or "LIE" will appear on the screens behind me. For instance, is your name Renee Richardson? Renee : Yes. Dan : Excellent. let's begin. Did you, in fact, meet Nathan Scott at a party, as you described earlier? Renee : Yes. Dan : Did you flirt with Nathan Scott? Renee : Yes. Dan : Did Nathan flirt back? [Flashback – at the party] Renee : You smell good. Nathan : That's my rainstorm body spray. Renee : Oh. Renee : Yes. Dan : Believe only what yourself test and judge to be true. Renee, is Nathan Scott, my son, the father of your unborn child? Renee : Yes. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : Hey, it's Clay. It's my third time calling, buddy. Look, I’m watching the show right now, And I, um...I just want to talk to you. So, please call me back, all right? AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Quinn : Hales? Nathan? * I won't do what you told me * * I won't do what you said * * no, I’m not gonna stop feeling * * I’m not gonna forget * [Flashback – at Quinn’s house] Quinn : Hey, David, do you know where -- David : Hey, babe. Quinn : Uh...what is this? David : Okay, okay, I-I know it's expensive, but I just had a thought -- Quinn : Screening room. David : Okay. I’m just saying -- I go to work, I come home, I sit here -- I'm happy. Quinn : Remember that old car that we had... And the futon? We were really happy then. David : Yeah, that futon sucked, baby. Quinn : I love this picture of you. David : Really? 'cause that guy was struggling, foolish, and broke. Quinn : That's not true. David : Quinn...you've got some crazy, romantic notion of who I used to be of who we used to be. We were just naive kids. God forbid I ever go back to that. Can you hand me a Phillips screwdriver? It's in the box over there. Quinn : Sure. David : How great is this room, by the way? No windows. It's perfect. Quinn : It's a really dark room. NEAR THE RIVER Julian : Did you mean it when you proposed? Brooke : Yeah. I did that night. Julian : But not anymore. Brooke : I don't know right now. Julian : I'm sorry. I didn't know. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. AT TV BROADCAST Dan : Sometimes we fall short of the people we are meant to be, and sometimes people do things they're ashamed of. Thank you, Renee. 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, truth is an absolute, and the truth can set you free. My name is Dan Scott. I love my wife, Rachel. Rachel : What is he doing? Dan : My son, Nathan, loves me. I'm president of the United States. I'm Santa Claus. I didn't kll my brother. Quinn : Hey, you guys got to get in here! Dan : Life is funny, isn't it? Sometimes bad things happen to good people, and it isn't fair. This is a still frame of the moment i told you we were gonna do the lie-detector test. Your pupils are dilated. your eyebrows are arched. It means you were surprised. This is a still frame of the moment after you said Nathan had slept with you And the monitors said "true." You were surprised again, weren't you? Sometimes bad things happen to good people. I think you're a good person, Renee. I think something bad happened to you, and you were clever enough to see a way out. [Flashback – at the party] Nathan : All right. Renee : Mmm. You smell good. Nathan : Oh, that's the rainstorm body spray. Clay : All right. Let's make it look sexy. Okay -- ooh, easy. Not too sexy. That'll cost us $20 million next year. On the count of 2. 1...2. Dan : I don't think you wanted to. I think you were afraid... and lost and desperate. You knew Nathan was in a contract year, and you knew he had too much to drink that night. Maybe someone lied to you, Maybe someone took advantage of you, or maybe... Being a good person just wasn't paying off. Renee : I don't want to do this anymore. Dan : I know. But here's the good news. You can stop it -- Right here, right now. You wanted to get some money, some security. What's so little to someone who has so much? And then you got angry, and then the press got involved, And then there was no turning back. Renee... We have a team of experts backstage Who study body language and heart-rate response And all of it. You were at that party that night, And you had sex, didn't you? And you got pregnant. But you didn't have sex with Nathan Scott, and you never had sex with Nathan Scott, did you? Renee : No. Sara : Well, what do you know? Character changes everything. Dan : It's okay. It's okay. It's over now. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : It's okay. It's over …Thanks. He says she's dropping everything. Haley : I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Nathan : I shouldn't have been drunk at that party, Haley. I just -- Haley : You -- You're still young. We both are. I think -- I think we just forget that sometimes. AT CLAY’S HOUSE Sara : What are you listening to? Clay : You know. I never changed it. Sara : Play it. Clay : I can't. Sara : For me? [Willie Nelson's - Angel flying too close to the ground" plays] if you had not have fallen... * [Flashback – at Clay’s beach house] Sara : I love this song. Clay : You look beautiful. Sara : Well, thank you, handsome. Dance with me. * and I patched up your broken wing * Sara : You know what I want? Clay : What? Sara : Grape kool-aid. * trying to keep your spirits up * * and your fever down * * I knew someday... * Clay : 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 they cost, like, a fortune. What are you looking at, you goof? Sara, hey. Hey, Sara! Hey! * so leave me if you need to * * i will still remember * * angel flying too close * * to the ground * * leave me if you need to * * i will still remember * * angel flying too close * * to the ground * Sara : Clay. 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 how you felt in my arms, and, um... Sara : If you let someone in, you'll erase me. You won't. Clay : I can't. Sara : Open the door, clay. Clay... It's okay. On the count of 2. 1...2. Quinn : Hey! Clay : I think you need to go home. Quinn : Oh, okay. I’m sorry. I didn't know it was a bad time. Clay : To David. I think you should go home to David. And I’m sorry, too. * load the car and write the note * * grab your bag and grab your coat * AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : I love you so much, my beautiful wife. * tell the ones that need to know * * we are headed north * * one foot in, one foot back * * but it don't pay to live like that * * so I cut the tires, and i jump the tracks * * for never to return * * ah, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in * IN THE BACKSTAGE Rachel : "A team of experts backstage"? Nice touch. So how'd you know she was lying? Dan : He's still my son. I raised him. I know what kind of man he is. Besides... Takes a con to know a con. Rachel : It was a good show. I love you. Dan : Yeah. * with him and her and you and me * * ah, but it's just a waste of time * * yeah, it's such a waste of time * AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Julian : You okay? Brooke : 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 -- Julian : Hey. Brooke : Who are we? Julian : 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. * ah, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in * AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : It's not fair. We were supposed to have more time. Sara : And you still do. I don't want you to be alone, honey. You like her -- Quinn. Why'd you send her away? Clay : I don't want to lose us. Sara : No, you can't erase who we were or what we had. No one can. We brned so bright together. You won't lose that. Clay : I loved you so much, Sara. Sara : You were perfect with me... And you always will be. But now it's time to let go.

Sara : oh, I don't know -- probably healthier than all the women you've had in your pool in real life. Then again, skipping the guys' weekend to spend time with your dad wife...probably not so healthy. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Skills : Man, when I said guys' weekend, I BB pictured us by the pool at the Bellagio, room and drinks comped all 'cause we're rolling with Nathan Scott. Mouth : Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted -- a weekend in some casino sports book -- 50 TVs, 50 stations, none of which will hire me. Skills : Yeah, but the damn woods, with hungry animals and dudes with hockey masks? Mouth : Come on, man. Camping’s a great way to forget your life. No TV, no internet, no cell phones. Skills : Yeah.

You think we'll ever see them again? Brooke : Oh, I wouldn't worry. Julian has enough equipment to survive in the woods for seven years. Haley : Well, I hope you're ready for girls' night, 'cause Quinn made brownies. Quinn : Brownies! Brooke : Mmm. They smell incredible. Quinn : They should. They're Taylor's recipe. Haley : Oh, sweet. I love Taylor’s brownies. Quinn : When hales was in high school, she used get all stressed about grades and tests, and we would always make special brownies. Brooke : Special brownies? Quinn : Yeah, you know, the usual -- eggs, milk, brownie mix... a little weed. Brooke : Does she know that? Quinn : No. Brooke : Looks like the boys aren't the only ones going on a trip tonight. IN WOODS Jamie : Uncle Skills we has planted our tents. Skills : Ah ready go guys ! All right, here are your merit badges Mouth : Hey it is for what that? Skills : I took that to the store have few them to give that all the weekend. Check this out. Who wants to get their "go get me a beer" badge? Jamie/Chuck : I do! I do! Skills : Nice. Julian : So, this is the same tent the Japanese climbers took to the top of Mt. Everest. Nathan : Well, then you should be good here, 100 feet above sea level. Julian : If only the instructions weren't also in Japanese. Well, I think that looks pretty good. So, would you call that a two-man tent? AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Quinn : You might want to slow down a little. Haley : That was the thing about Taylor's brownies. The more I eat, the hungrier I get. Quinn : Yeah, there's a reason for that. Brooke : It's girls' night, right -- all about spilling secrets? Haley : Oh, no. what'd you guys do? Quinn : Okay, Taylor’s recipe calls for an eighth of granddaddy purple. Haley : What is that, some kind of breakfast cereal? Quinn : Not exactly. Haley : pot?! I have to go throw up. Brooke : no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Quinn : Oh, relax, Haley-Bob. You're about to, anyway. Haley : I do not believe, all those years, you and Taylor were getting me high. Brooke : Yeah, who knew tutor girl was actually stoner girl? Quinn : we never gave you the full-strength recipe until now. Haley : I can't do this. I have a child! Brooke : Who is away for the weekend. You have had a rough couple of months. It is perfectly acceptable to mellow out a little. Haley : I’m so getting you back for this. Quinn : Oh, come tomorrow, you'll be thanking me. Haley : Well, maybe I’ve built up an immunity to these brownies. I mean, I’ve had two already, and I don't feel anything. Haley : Now, when they say they represent the lollipop guild, do you think that's a trade union? And if it is, why did they unionize? Did they need shorter hours or longer sticks or different flavors? Look at their little suits. They really crack me up. Quinn : Wow. That didn't take very long. Brooke, are you okay? Brooke : Will you please tell that munchkin to stop looking at me? Quinn : Great. She gets chatty, and you get paranoid. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Sara : A classic overcorrection. Clay : You ask for it. Sara : Just give me something simple, elegant, beautiful. Clay : You just described everything I love about you. Sara : I thought you didn't believe in love. Isn’t that what you told that girl Kylie? Clay : I meant... I could never love anyone as much as I loved you. Sara : Except for Quinn. Clay : It's not like that with Quinn. Sara : I could always tell when you were lying. IN BACKSTAGE Rachel : the ratings are in. last week's show with Renee was our highest ever. Dan : I’m glad. Rachel : We have momentum. We need something big for sweeps, and then Dr. Phil can suck it. Dan : Well, maybe we can get Lucas to do a guest spot. It’s not like he's doing anything. Rachel : Hey, Lena, bat it. He’s got enough eyeliner. Okay. What’s going on? Does this have anything to do with the fact that Nathan never called to say thank you? Dan : Of course not. I never expected that. Rachel : God, because we both know that's not gonna happen. Now get your head in the game. We have an empire to build. IN WOODS Julian : Alex isn't that bad once you get to know her. Mouth : I’m just saying I’ve known Brooke a long time. I saw how hard it was for her to get over a broken heart. Julian : well, nobody's gonna break Mouth : Brooke's heart. Well, good, 'cause if you do, you'll answer to me. Skills : Yeah, and I seen him naked. He been working out. Julian : Hanging with the guys rules. Skills : So, how you doing, Chuck? Chuck : My mom says you can't marry Miss Lauren 'cause you don't make enough money. Skills : Ah, well, guess who just lost their "keep their damn mouth shut" badge. Nathan : So, over the last few months, with everything that's been going on, maybe you were kind of scared? Jamie : Not really. I knew Grandpa Dan would save us again. So, can we forgive him now? AT TV BROADCAST Dan : last week I helped a confused young woman free herself from her tangled web of lies and deceit. But tonight is about you. So tonight I ask you to turn your gaze inward and confess the truth inside yourself... to turn your gaze inward... ...and confess. And confess -- confess the tru-- Rachel : We should've saved that for sweeps. IN WOODS Chuck : That was awesome! Skills : One bravery badge coming right up. Chuck : Whoa. Skills : It's your turn, J. Luke! Jamie : It's so far down. Nathan : This was my favorite part of camping when I was your age. All right, jimmy-jam. See what you got. Julian : I can't do it. Nathan : What are you talking about? Julian : It's -- it's too high. I’m going back down the trail. Jamie : I better go with Julian. Nathan : Jamie, we've been talking about this for weeks, man. Jamie : But he might get lost. Julian : That's true. I am directionally challenged. Nathan : Okay. well, I guess I’ll see you guys at the bottom, then. Julian : Whew. Jamie : Thanks, man. Julian : No problem. IN BACKSTAGE Rachel : Here. You’re a genius, you know that? I mean, who could miss a single episode when Dan Scott could keel over and die at any minute? Dan : I saw something out there, Rachel, in the audience. A boy -- he was bleeding. Felt like my heart was gonna burst out of my chest. Rachel : you're crazy. Your heart's fine. [Flash Back] Rachel : Without a new heart, you're gonna die. Dan : Maybe I want to die. Rachel : loon called from Putnam and Pratt. He read the first three chapters of the book. He says it's gonna be a bestseller. Think of all the good we'll do, all the people we'll help. Dan : All the money we'll make? Rachel : that too. Dan : How much is this heart costing us? Rachel : $5,000. Dan : That's very reasonable. Rachel : It's a fortune to these people. Now get some sleep. Tomorrow you're gonna be a new man. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : Sara, did you feel any pain... when you died, in that moment? Sara : No. Clay : Well, I did. And I do, every day. And it's not fair. Sara : Life isn't fair, clay. But you being miserable is never gonna change that. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : These leftovers are incredible. I am such a good cook. Brooke : What’s going on with you and the hot agent? Quinn : Clay? Brooke : Who are we talking about? Quinn : Nathan's agent, clay. Brooke : Right. Is something going on with the two of you? Quinn : No, but it's better that way. My psychic told me to avoid emotional entanglements. Brooke : You have a psychic? Quinn : She's not really mine. Her name's Zelda. Haley : Oh, my god. She does house calls. Quinn : Oh, my god. We are totally calling her. Brooke : No. no, no. no. please, no creepy psychic -- I can't handle it right now. Haley : See if she can bring us a pizza. IN WOODS Julian : We did this in a movie I just produced. We just need one spark. Nathan : All right, Spielberg. Why don't you produce us some marshmallows? Skills : So, the girl say she thinks she heard a noise scratching on the car door, right? So she freak out. She tells the dude, "take me home now". So of course he gets all mad because he knows he's not getting no action tonight, right? So he drives the girl all the way home. And get out the car to try to help her out, you know? And there on the door handle was a bloody hook. Chuck : That story isn't scary, not when you have a bravery badge. Julian : You want to hear something really scary? Chuck : Bring it, Julia. Julian : Okay. Well, this is a true story about an old witch who used to live in these very woods. Her name was drag-leg Laura. And they called her that because she had a wooden leg. And you could always hear Laura coming because she would drag it behind her in the mud. Well, the day after Laura died, some kids decided that they wanted to dig up her body and steal the wooden leg. So they took it back to their tent. And then, just about midnight, on a night just like tonight, they heard it. Laura was coming back for her leg. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Quinn : Wow. That was fast. Brooke : It's because she's a psychic, so she probably knew that we were going to call her and started heading over here. This is so creepy. Haley : Oh, I’m sure she's not that creepy. Okay, she's creepy. IN WOODS Skills : Nice going, Hollywood. You scared the piss out of Chuck. Good thing his mama packed extra underwear. Julian : Drag-leg Laura works every time. Jamie : I wasn't scared. It’s just a story. Julian : Drag-leg Laura, zip-lines -- we're all scared of something. Jamie : Not my dad. Nathan : All right, buddy. I think it's time for bed. Jamie : All right. Good night, guys. Guys : Good night. Jamie : Dad, I’m sorry I didn't do the zip-line. Nathan : It's okay, buddy. Maybe tomorrow, if you want, huh? Jamie : Sure. Nathan : All right. AT TV BROADCAST Rachel : Come here. Ah. A million dollars for your thoughts. And I’ll throw in back-end points. Dan : Just thinking about sweeps. You’re right. We need something big. Maybe I come clean, show them all that I’ve got a new heart, that I’m not really living on borrowed time. Rachel : You do that, and all this goes away. Dan : Maybe not. Maybe they've really been listening to what I’ve been saying, and maybe they'll forgive me. Rachel : No. they'll tolerate a criminal. They’ll look the other way at mrder. But if they find out that behind the curtain oz is just a man, they'll never forgive you. Dan : Eventually that clock has to stop ticking, Rachel. Rachel : Does it? You’ve given these people something to believe in. don't take it away to quiet your own guilt. IN WOODS Mouth : Thanks. Nathan : I never said thank you, mouth. Mouth : You don't have to. Nathan : Yeah, but you spoke up for me when nobody else would. I’m really sorry you lost your job, man. There any chances they take you back? Mouth : Probably not. I committed the cardinal sin of broadcasting. I told people to turn the channel. Networks don't really like that. Julian : Yeah, well, the whole landscape of television is changing anyway. Mouth : Yeah, but what's next? Julian : The internet -- it's faster, it's cheaper, and it's everywhere. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Is your career path pretty much just laid out for you as soon as your parents name you Zelda? Zelda. It’s kind of like if they call you Bambi or Oprah. Zelda : What are your questions for the universe, my child? Haley : I’m sorry. Okay. Will Nathan play for the bobcats this season? Zelda : Prospects are hazy. Ask again. Haley : You sound like one of those magic 8-balls. Zelda : You sound like you've been eating pot brownies. IN WOODS Mouth : okay, best sports movie ever. Nathan : easy. "Field of dreams." Mouth : I’m gonna go with "coach carter." Skills : Ooh, strong. Julian : "Cool running’s." Nathan : Seriously? Julian : Yeah. Nathan : What, all the sports movies of all time, and you're gonna -- you're gonna pick "Cool running’s"? Julian : Yeah. I like it. Jamaica we have a Hoosiers team. Skills : "Hoosiers" -- hands down, best sports movie ever made. Nathan : You're right -- definitely "Hoosiers." Julian : I know the guy who coordinated the basketball for that movie. Skills : What's that? Julian : Well, you know, the actors don't just make that stuff up. There's a sports coordinator on set who comes up with all the plays. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Zelda : I’m sensing something. Brooke : It's Julian, isn't it? Zelda : It's Julian. And he's -- Brooke : Conflicted about something, right? Zelda : Exactly. it's -- Brooke : Alex Dupré? Zelda : Yes. It’s Alex Dupré. Brooke : I knew it. Zelda, you're good. You’re creepy as hell, but you are good. IN WOODS Skills : Let's talk about what Alex Dupré look like naked. Julian : Oh, let me guess -- Chase Adams. I thought bartenders were supposed to keep their mouths shut. Skills : Yeah, and they're also supposed to make good drinks, too. Alls : Enjoy the buzz. Mouth : So, that's what you meant by not that bad once you get to know her. Julian : It was a misunderstanding -- a very brief, somewhat naked misunderstanding. Skills : Yeah, there ain't nothing wrong with a little window-shopping, either, right? Julian : Yeah, well, she's no Brooke Davis. But you guys have all seen her naked on film. Skills : Wait. Who we talking about? Julian : Alex -- she's the only actress in Hollywood who insists on doing nudity. Skills : Yeah, Alex -- that's -- that's what i thought. Julian : Wait, who are you talking about? Nathan : Skills. Julian : Skills. Skills : Nathan and Brooke kind of made a sex tape in high school. Okay. Good night. Mouth : See you guys in the morning. Or maybe just one of you. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : I never told Nathan we were married. Sara : Why not? Clay : There was never a good time. Sara : To mention you had a wife? Clay : I know. It’s just... people mean well, but they don't really know what to say. They try, but just... after a while, it was just easier not to. Sara : For who -- you or them? Clay : I don't know. Them? Both, maybe. Sara : Well, it might help you to tell someone. And it might really help you to tell the right someone. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Zelda : There's a man in your life. He’s suffered a great loss. He’s struggling. Quinn : My husband, David. Zelda : No, it's not David. But whoever it is, I’m getting the strong feeling that he needs you right now. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Ooh, magic 8-ball, is Zelda really psychic? What? Outlook not so good. I told you. She's a total fake. Brooke : Magic 8-ball, is Zelda standing right behind us? Zelda : You may rely on it. You’re not alone in this house. Brooke : What? Wait! Zelda, you can't do that. Zelda : Oryctolagus Cuniculus. Brooke : She just cursed us. Quinn, your creepy psychic just cursed us. Quinn : Okay. On that note, I got to go. Haley : No, Quinn, you can't -- the brownies. Quinn : Yeah, I didn't actually have any brownies. Someone had to keep an eye on you two rookies. And you're gonna come down any minute, I promise. Brooke : I knew that woman would bring a demon into your house. Haley : Hey, that's kind of harsh. She’s still my sister. Brooke : Not Quinn. Zelda. She said we're not alone. Haley : Oh, stop it. I’m sure we're perfectly safe. Brooke : If there is an evil spirit in this house, this is definitely the best way to keep it from klling us. Haley : It's just a mass-produced board game, dude. Brooke : That doesn't matter, dude. Now, what did Zelda say? Oryctolagus something. Oryctolagus... Cunniling-- Haley : It wasn't that. You’re so bad. Brooke : You're right. I wouldn't be afraid of that. Okay. Let’s do it. Okay. Oh, great Ouija board, is there a mean spirit in this house? Haley : You're pushing it. Brooke : I’m not, I swear. Haley : You totally are. Brooke : I’m not. Okay, fine, don't touch it. Ouija board... is there anyone in this house? IN WOODS Julian : So, let me get this straight. You were on a break from Peyton -- Nathan : Oh, come on. It was eight years ago. I was so drunk, I don't even remember. Julian : Well, good thing you got it on tape. Nathan : Just let it go. It’s a nice tent. Julian : I have a lambskin sleeping bag. I’m quite warm. Don’t change the subject. Nathan : Look, I get it. The idea of me and Brooke is weird for you. I lost my virginity to my sister-in-law. You don't think that makes thanksgiving a little awkward from time to time? Skills : You still awake? Mouth : Yeah. Skills : What’d you think about what Julian said? Mouth : I don't know. Maybe he's right. Maybe I could have my own sports show on the internet. Then I could say anything I want. Call the website something like raw mouth. Skills : I’m pretty sure that's already taken. Nathan : My father's new wife is my age, and she ht on me after she slept with my uncle cooper. Yeah. Don’t even get me started on my dad. Julian : Yeah, your old man and my old man should get together and go bowling. "Breakfast club." Nathan : You really got to quit with the movie quotes, man. Julian : I can quit that. But I wish I knew how to quit you. Skills : Okay, so enough about your new prn site. I’m talking about the "Hoosiers" thing. See, I was planning on starting my own business training athletes, right? But sports coordinating -- I think I’d be good at that. Mouth : You’d be great at that. Skills : Julian's cool. Nathan : That’s not cool, man. Julian : Lighten up, Francis. Everybody loves a good "Brokeback Mountain" jokes. Nathan : Not when you're over there sleeping in your lambskin condom. Julian : Oh, you should talk. You’re the one who showers with dudes on a nightly basis. Chuck : You think drag-leg Laura is real? Jamie : Nah. I can tell you a real story. It's about this girl named Nanny Carrie. And it actually happened... to me. Julian : You’re good with the kid, you know that? Nathan : I’ve had my moments, believe me. Julian : Yeah, but your dad was a dick, and yet somehow you turned it around for your own son. They should give a merit badge for that. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Brooke : Zelda said Julian's conflicted about something. Haley : I -- listen, I realize the irony of the following statement, but you can't take everything Zelda says too seriously. Brooke : I feel it, Haley. Haley : Brooke, that boy loves you. He would move mountains for you if you asked him to. Brooke : I don't know. What if the guy I want to spend the rest of my life with doesn't feel the same way? Haley : That's just the brownies talking. Brooke : No, I think they're wearing off. IN WOODS Julian : I could see spending the rest of my life with Brooke, but I know she wants kids. And I don't know if I’m ready for that. I don't know if I’ll ever be. Nathan : Jamie likes you. Julian : Jamie likes that I suck at stuff. Nathan : What do you mean? Julian : I’m just saying when you have superman for a father, sometimes it's nice to hang around with Clark Kent. Rain? Really? Nathan : I wouldn't worry. I hear lambskin is the safest form of protection. You’ll be fine. All right. Come on. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Sara : You should've gone on the camping trip. Clay : I wanted to spend time with you. Sara : You're not with me, clay. You’re alone. And I don't want you to be. What can I say? I’m good. Let her in. Quinn : Hi. Clay : Hey. Quinn : Look, I know this is gonna sound weird, but are you okay? Clay : Yeah. I’m fine. Why? Quinn : Well, it's just -- never mind. Can I come in? Clay : No. when are you gonna get it, Quinn? You can't be here. You need to go. IN QUINN’S CAR Clay : I’m sorry. Quinn : I don't get it. I-I don't even know what I’m doing. I mean, I don't know what we're doing. Are we even doing anything? Clay : I like you, Quinn. It -- it's just... her name was Sara. And I loved her. She was my wife. But, um... she died. And I’ve never told anyone... up until now ON THE BEACH Clay : It was sudden. It was just one minute she was there, and the next she was gone. So that's when I just threw myself into my work. But I learned that it doesn't matter how fast you run. The pain will always run faster. That’s when my life just went completely off the rails. Quinn : Ad that's why your agency sent you to tree hill. Clay : Yeah. And that's also why I told you to go back to David. I know what it's like to lose the one thing that Quinn : You love more than anything in this world. Quinn : I’m so sorry, Clay. I wish there was something I could do for you. Clay : You're doing it, Quinn. [Flash Back] Rachel : You're alive, baby. You have a new heart. Dan : Rachel. Dan : Where'd you get the heart? Rachel : What are you talking about? Dan : It was a boy, wasn't it? Rachel : He was on life support. I paid his family the money, and they pulled the plug. Dan : You paid them? He might have gotten better. We bought his death. We klled him. Rachel : I did what I had to do to save your life. I’m not a m*rder, Dan. that would be you. IN WOODS Chuck : Whoa, whoa, whoa. Nathan : What's going on? Chuck : Drag-leg Laura! Listen! Julian : That's definitely drag-leg Laura. Chuck : What are we gonna do? Julian : Well, the only way to get rid of her is to catch her in the eyes with the beam of your flashlight. Jamie : Don't worry. My dad will do it. Nathan : What? No. No. No way I’m going out there, man. I’m way too scared. Jamie : All right. I’ll go. Hey, guys, it's not drag-leg Laura. It's just some stupid old gate. Chuck : Wow, Jamie. That was awesome. Skills : Jamie Scott -- one bravery badge. Jamie : Yes. Skills : Chuck, you might want to go change your underwear again. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Brooke : All right, buddy. Okay. If this is our last night on earth, I just want you to know that I am really glad we are spending it together. Haley : No, this is silly. You are just paranoid. We weren't even hearing things. It was just the brownies. Brooke : It's coming from the closet. Whew. Haley : This is ridiculous. Brooke : Cuniculus. Haley : What? Brooke : Oryctolagus... Brooke/Haley : Cuniculus! Brooke : That’s what Zelda said. The evil spirit...in the closet. Here I come. Haley : Wait! Oryctolagus cuniculus -- the Latin word for "bunny rabbit." Brooke : That Zelda’s a bitch. IN WOODS Nathan : Kids are finally back asleep. How’d you know about the creaky gate? Julian : oh, I--I just saw it when I was out getting firewood. Nice performance. Nathan : Julian. You knew Jamie needed that. Julian : Oh, it was no big deal. Nathan : Hey, being a father is 95% instinct. And you have good ones. When the day comes, you'll be ready. Julian : Thanks, man. You know, that was my first-ever fist bump. AT DAN’S HOUSE Rachel : Don't over think it. Come back to bed, baby. You need rest. Dan : You’re right. Rachel : I do. Dan : In fact, I’ve been thinking. Maybe we need a vacation. Rachel : Now, that's my boy. Where do you want to go -- the Bahamas, Hawaii? Dan : Tree hill. I want to go home. ON THE BEACH Quinn : It’s almost morning. I should go. Clay : Or, uh, you could stay. Quinn : Tell me more about Sara. Clay : She would've really liked you.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "07x08 - (I Just) Died In Your Arms"}	foreverdreaming
Previously on "One Tree Hill"... Dan : You were at that party that night, and you got pregnant. But you didn't have sex with Nathan Scott, did you? Rennee : No. Nathan : He says she's dropping everything. Dan : Maybe we need a vacation. Rachel : Hmm. The Bahamas? Dan : Tree hill. Quinn : It's almost morning. I should go. Clay : Or, uh... You could stay. Alex : Administrative work is for fatties, Millicent, and you are not a fatty. You... Are a plus-size model. Brooke : Honey, I’m home. Let's do this. Alex : I told you it was realistic. Julian : Hey, honey. Alex and I worked everything out. Alex : Isn't that great? AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Brooke : Hey. Julian : Uh-oh -- the look, followed by the pout. Brooke : I just missed you next to me last night...again. Julian : I know, baby. Alex and I didn't finish until 4:00 a.m. Brooke : I know. I watched her leave on my sneaky-slut cam. I'm sorry. I'm really trying to be super-evolved girlfriend, but it's hard for me when my boyfriend spends all of his nights writing an epic love story with naked-actress girl. Julian : She's not naked. Brooke : She's always naked in my mind. P.S. -- not a good time to insert obvious girl-on-girl humor. Julian : Hey. I love you. And I know me working with Alex has been really hard. Brooke : Excruciating. Julian : And I appreciate how understanding you've been. But here's some good news. I think we're finally gonna finish the script today. Brooke : "Finish" as in "done"? As in "no more late nights with Alex"? Julian : And lots of late nights with the most beautiful girl I know. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : They're offering two years. I say no deal. Nathan : It's not bad. Clay : It's B.S. Look at your numbers last season, man. I mean, all the team is trying to do Is take advantage of the bad press around Renee. Nathan : Okay, so, right now, Her life is making my name less valuable. Clay : But not your game. That's why we're countering. I'm gonna ask for four years. We'll take three. Nathan : They offered two, and we ask for four? Clay : It's how the game is played, Nate. Nathan : You're sure they won't stop playing? Clay : Buddy, trust me. They won't. Just let me do my job. Nathan : All right. AT ALEX’S HOTEL ROOM Millicent : It's my job to look good, bitch. Alex : Mils, you've been raping my closet for two weeks. You should be wearing C.O.B., not...M-E. Millicent : I've been seen in all my C.O.B. clothes. Alex : What about the new stuff? That dress ball and chain Brooke was working on would be the shiz on you. Millicent : I know, but Brooke isn't done with it yet, not to mention super-assistant calliope is guarding it like a virgin's Vajayjay. And since all my old clothes are so Millie 1.0, your closet is my only high-end alternative. Alex : Oh, my god. I'm so sleepy, and you're so talky. Millicent : Sorry. Still wired. Late night, major party -- you totally missed it. Alex : Doubt it. The party scene is so lame-traded. It's the same people, same paparazzi, same prn. Millicent : prn? Alex : In the V.I.P.'s, V.I.P. It's way overrated. You know, I'm starting to like just hanging with Julian and working on stuff people take seriously Other than my tight ass. O.M. Gucci! Score me some of what you've been taking, you kinny bitch. You totally look better than me in that. Millicent : Really? Alex : Take it off. Millicent : Wow. That’s good?

And I can't even utter the last part. Haley : Free. The concert is free. Miranda : One more time, and I will wash your Mouth out with soap. Please explain how this impromptu concert is getting your album completed on schedule. Haley : Only if you explain to me the deal with "schedule." Come on, Miranda, I just wanted to get out of the studio and, you know, get some feedback on my new songs. Miranda : You'll get feedback in 2 1/2 months, When the record is done and the downloads are making the label money. And then you'll be "free" to perform at any label-authorized concert. In the meantime, this one... Is off. Haley : Okay, but you're gonna have to tell them. Go on. I'll hold the door open. Miranda : Well, Americans will line up for anything that's free. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : Look, we're not talking about a rookie getting his feet wet. This is Nathan Scott. Just look at his numbers, and I think you'll understand why we feel that he's earned a four-year deal. Yeah. Or we might consider a three-year if the price is right, But a two is not gonna get us anywhere. I hope so. Mmm. Thanks. Best part of my day. Quinn : Me or the coffee? Clay : Maybe a little bit of both. Quinn : So, any good news? Clay : Uh, we'll see. Now I just have to wait. Mm. Quinn : How would you feel about waiting with me? Come on. I have somewhere I want to take you. Grab your office. IN THE AIRPORT Dan : It's good to be home. AT SCHOOL Clay : So, this is your dirty little secret?

Great spiral, great listener, and now this hot mother Teresa thing? Quinn : You know, in girl world, you just called me hot, right? Clay : In an old-nun sort of way. Quinn : Oh, okay, yeah. Clay : So, what exactly do you do here, sister Quinn? Quinn : Well...we make these homemade cameras, And then we take pictures with them. You know, the first time I looked through my lens, I realized that I could find magic in unexpected places. And I want the kids to feel that. Pretty dorky, huh? Clay : Completely dorky, yeah. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Haley : I love it. Brooke : Mm. it's just a sample. It's top-secret C.O.B. for next march. I just finished it today. Here is your super-sassy rock-star comeback outfit. I want you to look so amazing up there. Haley : I mean, you could just let me wear this one to my show tonight. Brooke : I could, but then I'd have to kll you. And if you're dad, we can't talk. And... I really need a huge Haley heart-to-heart right now. Haley : All right. Spell. Brooke : I think I’m pregnant. I'm late, and I am never late and I'm freaking out. Haley : Why are you freaking out? You've wanted a baby since you were 22. Brooke : Because I don't know how Julian's gonna take it. The last time we talked about our future, He basically said "what's the rush?" I am fluent in boy, and I am pretty sure that "what's the rush?" doesn't mean "let's have a baby now." Haley : Maybe not, but things happen all the time -- Unexpected things that turn out to be amazing things. I named mine Jamie. Brooke : Yeah, but with all the Alex drama, I just wouldn't want him to think that I was expecting it. Haley : Oh, Brooke, Julian’s not gonna think you got pregnant on purpose. Brooke : Come on, Hales, you have to admit The timing looks a bit suspect. Haley : No. you know what? Julian loves you. Stop worrying. Go to the doctor. It's your turn to be the girl who gets the baby and the boy. AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Alex : So, the girl doesn't get the boy. Julian : No. That's what makes the ending work. She doesn't need the boy anymore. Alex : Says the boy. Not that you're the boy -- just a boy who doesn't get that some sad girl with bad hair doesn't want to spend money on a movie where the girl doesn't get the boy. It's not American. Julian : The ending is perfect as is. Trust me. Now, a little drum roll, please. And we're done. That’s it. Fade out. ht "print." Alex : What about all your annoyingly good notes? Julian : You did them all. You've been so focused these past few weeks. Now it's just time to kick the script out of the nest, see if it can fly. My dad used to say that. Alex : So, what's next, then, Mr. producer? Julian : Well, I’ll just put out some feelers, make a few calls, See if anyone responds to the material. Alex : Which is, like, a no-brainer. This script is the bmb. Julian : I'll be sure to lead with that. Alex : Good. And I’ll work on scoring production offices with expensive water and a snobby temp. We'll be so legit. Julian : Whoa. We got to still sell the script. That could take months. Alex : So we won't be seeing each other every day anymore? Julian : No, ma'am. You are officially off duty. Alex : Oh. Sweet. AT SCHOOL Cell phone : You have no new messages. Clay : Nice sht. You got another one of those? You're good. You got an agent? Boy : Don't need your charity today, all right? So, you starting, or you playing? Clay : Playing. I am young * * but I don't belong * AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Dan : Hello, Nathan. Jamie : It's grandpa Dan. I saw it on the security cam. Nathan : Jamie -- Jamie : Grandpa Dan! Dan : Hey, there, buddy. Oh, warm welcome. Nathan, you remember my wife, Rachel. Nathan : Yes. Of course. Well, when you and Deb are tired of my high-school class, I'm sure I could rummage through some of my old middle-school friends for you. Rachel : It's good to see you, too, Nathan. It's funny -- I used to want you to be my daddy. And now I'm your mommy. Jamie : Nice to meet you, grandma Rachel. Rachel : Aww. I remember when you were a rumor in third period. Jamie : Dad, can I show grandpa Dan my new room? Nathan : Yes. yes, of course you can, son. * When all we do is wonder * * 'cause the future's insecure * * just when I thought * AT SCHOOL Boy : I haven't seen you around here before. Clay : First time -- helping out a friend. Boy : Yeah, I saw you with the camera lady. She’s your girl? Clay : No. Boy : Why not? She's pretty. Clay : You got a lot of questions. My turn. You got a name? Boy : Nope. * It makes me wonder why I try * Boy : I know what you're doing -- You're letting the poor kid win. That’s what you all do -- Show up, volunteer for a few hours, Make yourselves feel good about whatever. So, what's your thing? You’re a bad dad or something? Clay : I lost my wife a few years back. Boy : What was her name? Clay : Sara. * Everything still looks the same * * yet somehow I sense a change * Boy : My mom died, too. * But even after all these days * Clay : Do you want to talk about it? Boy : What's that gonna do? Clay : I used to think the same thing. I had a bunch of memories of her, my own secrets. And I thought that if I talked about her with anyone else that those memories would go away. I wouldn't have our secrets anymore, and maybe I'd start to forget. Boy : And did you? Forget? Clay : Not one thing. * And nobody can be sure * * when the world is going crazy * Boy : Sometimes I feel like she's still here with me. Clay : She is. She always will be. Moms are special that way. * Just when I thought I uncovered * * just when I thought I discovered * * who we were * * we change again * AT THE NURSERY Nurse: Brooke Davis. You ready? Brooke : I've been ready. AT BROOKE’S HOUSE & PAUL OFFICE Paul : Paul Norris. Julian : Hey, dad. It’s me. Paul : Julian. It's good to hear from you, son. How are you? How's Brooke? Julian : She's good. We’re good. Paul : I'm happy to hear that. Julian : So, I’ve been working. And I found a script that I really like. I'm thinking about sending it out. Paul : Ah. Kick it out of the nest. Julian : See if it can fly. I think you said to me about a thousand times when I was a kid. So, dad, listen, I, um... I wanted to see if you'd want to produce it with me. I mean, it's nothing huge. It’s an indie. But... it's about second chances. And... I don't know -- it made me think of us. Paul : I'd like that, son. Very much. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Dan : This is some collection. Jamie : Look at this one -- jerry rice. Dan : Whoa! Jamie : I got it for my birthday. I'm 7 now. Dan : I know. I'm sorry I missed that. I'm sorry I missed a lot of things over this past year. Jamie : I forgive you. Dan : I always hoped you were watching. Jamie : I never missed it. I pretended like you never left. I like that big clock thing that hangs behind you, 'cause it means you're okay, even if you're still sick. I'm glad you're home again. Dan : Me too, buddy. * You’re growing old with someone * * as beautiful as you * * just ask me to * AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Rachel : Surprise! Mouth : Rachel. Uh, what are you doing here? Rachel : Waiting for a hello hug from my favorite boy! * I’m surrounded by everything I own * AT THE NURSERY Doctor : Miss Davis. I'm...sorry, but the test came back negative. Brooke : E-excuse me? Doctor : You're not pregnant. * I’m listening * * ooh * ON THE RIVER COURT Jamie : So, you and mom went to high school with grandma Rachel? Were you friends? Nathan : Um, I’m not really sure grandma Rachel was friends with anyone. Jamie : Like grandpa Dan? I'm glad they have each other. Nathan : Yeah. They're a perfect match. Jamie : Dad...I have a secret. Sometimes I watch Grandpa Dan on TV. I know I’m not supposed to. I’m sorry. Nathan : No, Jamie, it's okay. I knew you were watching. And it's okay for you to miss him. He loves you. Jamie : He loves you, too. he watched all the bobcats games. And -- Nathan : Jamie. Jamie : Dad, he's different now. He helps people, like he helped us with that lady who was trying to hurt you and mom. Nathan : Yeah. Well, there are things between us you can't understand, Jamie. Jamie : I'm not a little kid anymore. I understand a lot of things. Nathan : I know you do. I wish you didn't have to. Jamie : Dad, it's only three words -- "I forgive you." Nathan : sh*t it. Aw! AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Mouth : So, um... How's life in L.A.? Rachel : It's great. You can be anybody you want there. Mouth : And who are you? Rachel : Rachel Scott -- Dan's ex-screw-up of a wife who has changed her life With the positive words of Dan Scott. It's genius. Mouth : So, I guess Dan helped you step into the light And get yourself right. Rachel : Mm. Dan helped me step into the light And get myself a personal trainer, A driver, and a black card. Mouth : Same Rachel, different city. So, are we gonna talk about Brooke? I mean, have you seen her? Rachel : No. And I don't want to. I know I messed up last time, But she and Victoria blackballed me in the industry. Even after I got sober, I couldn't get a gig. Then I got un-sober and ended up shaking my ass on a pole. Mouth : I'm sorry that happened to you, But none of it was Brooke's fault. Rachel : So, what -- you're on her side? Mouth : You were her friend. She went out on a limb for you, and you repaid her by stealing money. So, yeah, I’m kind of on her side. Go see her. You owe her that. AT TRIC Brooke : I guess I was late because of stress. Julian, Alex, the new line... Haley : It's okay. It'll happen. When you guys are ready, it'll happen. Brooke. Hey. You were so meant to be a mom. You are gonna have a houseful of very fashionably dressed little Brooke Davis Running around. You wait and see. Brooke : Yeah. Maybe it was from the start * * the story of a broken heart * IN THE DARK ROOM Clay : So, this is your cave? Quinn : Yeah, we can't all have pimped-out beach houses To hide in. Clay : Says the woman whose cave is in an NBA player's mansion. Quinn : Touché. But I’m thinking about getting back To my artist roots, you know? Crampy, old apartments with character and creaky floors -- They make the best caves. Clay : So you're staying in tree hill? Quinn : For a while. You know, it's home. I like it here. Plus, you know, the company isn't horrible. Clay : Beautiful. Quinn : It is. This is what I love -- You know, standing in the pitch black, waiting for the smallest moment To reveal itself right before your eyes. Clay : I have to take this. I...hope it's what I want to hear. Quinn : Oh, you're super agent. It will be. Clay : Hey. Today? Are we sure? Yeah, that's great. Just keep me posted. Quinn : Good news? Clay : Just a rumor, but, uh, yeah, I think so. So, I should get going. Quinn : Yeah. Clay : But I’ll see you tonight at Haley's concert? Quinn : Yeah, I’ll see you tonight. Clay : Okay. Quinn : Oh. AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Julian : We're not working tonight, Alex. Alex : I know, but I just reread the script, And it totally sucks ducks. I mean, the main character is total white noise. She needs, like, a-a crack habit or a-a brother with cancer -- Something Oscar-worthy. Julian : The script is awesome. Trust yourself. We did good work. Alex : But I -- I just -- Julian : good night, Alex. I have plans with Brooke. Alex : But... I'm just... Never really good at being alone. Julian : Come on. stop it. go live your life. You're Alex Dupré. * The story of a broken heart * * and destiny will see you through * AT TRIC Miranda : Well, well. this is quite the crowd, isn't it? Haley : Yeah, I can't believe all these people showed up After so many years. Miranda : I know. There is a lot of people out there...just waiting. Wow. So... nervous? 'cause I heard you get a bit of stage fright. Miranda : Oh, no. actually, I’m not nervous at all. I'm just looking forward to getting back out there. Really? Because I’d be nervous. I mean, after all, if the music's no good, it’ll be all over YouTube by tomorrow. And then you'll have to explain to the label what you were thinking When you put together this premature little free concert that could ruin any good buzz we have about your up-and-coming album. Ohhh. See? Now I’m nervous. Break a leg. Haley : That's funny -- "leg" wasn't my first option for you. * Here I am for you * Alex : Live your life, Alex. * here I am for you * Brooke : Mm. Can I get another? Julian : Hey, baby. Brooke : Hi. Julian : I hope that's champagne you just ordered, 'cause we're celebrating tonight, remember? Brooke : Right -- we're celebrating. * got something to say * * come right this way and have a nice day * Julian : I'll be right back. * a fantasy or reality? * * who do you think you are? * * an alien or a superstar? * Julian : I told you I’m with Brooke tonight. No games, Alex. Alex : This isn't a game. I swear. I found some coke in my suitcase. Julian : What have you done? Alex : Nothing...yet. But I’m thinking about it. I don't want to mess up.

You okay? Nathan : Yeah, I’m fine. It’s just -- it's family stuff. Clay : All right. Chase, my man, I’m in a good mood. So I’m gonna have one of those tasty blue brain blasters. Chase : You could have told me they sucked. Nathan : Come on. Who said that? Chase : They sucked, and you know it. And that's why, from now on, I’m officially just bar manager. Clay : But who's gonna bring me my shts and beers? Chase : All right. Hey, Grubbs. Guys, this is Grubbs, my new bartender. Clay here wants a drink. What do you think? Grubbs : sht of tequila, chilled, and a beer, imported. No -- hip domestic. Nathan : Nice. Clay : Wow. That’s pretty impressive. Chase : Yeah, I know. That guy sucks. Grubbs : Here.

I hope you like it. * maybe I was wrong * * maybe I was looking in all the wrong places * * maybe I was wrong * * maybe I was searching in all the wrong places * * if I knew that you were coming for me * * I would have stayed in one place * * if I knew that you were coming for me * * I would have made my peace * * maybe I was wrong * * maybe I was dreamless and full of suffering * * maybe I was wrong * * every time you said you loved me * * I went running on my own * * but I see now * Brooke : What do you mean you're on your way to Alex's hotel room? Julian : Brooke, I’m sorry. She's in trouble. Brooke : And of course she called you. Julian : Well, I didn't really have a choice. She said she found some cocaine and she thinks she may relapse. I -- I can't just leave her alone. She sounded really bad. Brooke : She's an actress, Julian! Julian : I'll hurry back. I promise. * Maybe I was looking at all the wrong faces * * Maybe I was wrong * * Maybe I was searching in all the wrong places * * if I knew that you were coming for me * * I would have stayed in one place * Millicent : Boo! Mouth : Hey. Where have you been? I called, but you didn't answer. Millicent : I know. Sorry. I had to drop by work for a sec. You like? Mouth : You look great. But you always look great. Millicent : You always say that, Mouth. Mouth : You called me "Mouth." You never call me "Mouth." * I’m coming home * * I can see you now * * I’m coming home * Brooke : What the hell are you wearing? Millicent : It’s great, Brooke. I love it. Brooke : You know that dress is not supposed to be released until next summer, so unless I magically went to sleep for a year, you need to explain to me why you're wearing it tonight. Millicent : I thought it would be fine. I mean, I’m the face of C.O.B. Brooke : Millicent Huxtable. That dress needs to leave this bar right now, on or off you. Your choice or your job. Millicent : Someone needs to chill out. It's just a dress. And there's no one important in here, anyway. Mouth : "No one important"? What’s that supposed to mean? Millicent : I mean, it's Tric, not the music awards. Mouth : Is that why you're taking pills -- So you can go look fab at someplace important, like the music awards? Millicent : You were going through my stuff? Mouth : Your stuff was all over the room. And that's not what's important here. I'm worried about you. Millicent : Worried about what? Mouth : You're different -- blwing Brooke off, messing up at work, Partying all the time, and now these pills. Millicent : So I took a few diet pills to drop a few pounds. So what? Mouth : Brooke hired you for who you are. You don't have to change that. Millicent : I don't just have to please Brooke. There's an entire industry. It's a lot of pressure to fit in. and for once, I want to fit in. God, Marvin, you told me you supported me. Mouth : I wanted you to be a model Because it made you feel special. Millicent : And that's sweet and noble And one of the reasons why I love you. But it's not that simple. I wish it were, but it's not. AT ALEX’S HOTEL ROOM Alex : I'm sorry. Julian : Stop saying you're sorry. Alex : You're just the only one I could call who wouldn't want to do it with me or report it to the tabloids. Julian : What about your sponsor from rehab? Alex : Rehab was for publicity. My sponsor isn't good for anything besides scoring the best blow. The only time I stopped doing it was when I started working with you. I'm not trying to pressure you. It's just the truth. Julian : Well, I’ll take it and go. Alex : But I could just go out and get more. Julian : Would you? Alex : I don't know. Right now, I want it so bad. Tonight was hard. I didn't have anywhere to go. It was so quiet in here. And I hate myself when it's quiet. Julian : Hey. Alex. Hey. You are so much more than you see. The girl I’ve been working with is bright and funny and independent and strong all by herself. She doesn't need that stuff. Alex : I wish I could see her. Julian : Let's just get you through tonight... and hopefully you will. AT TRIC Miranda : The playback sounds great. Haley : Playback? Miranda : I recorded a little bit. You know, I thought we could "Accidentally" leak a song, Get the fans excited for more. This little concert was genius. I'm so glad I thought of it. Haley : Yeah, me too. Miranda : Studio tomorrow, bright and early. Haley : Where are you headed? Miranda : Have you met Grubbs, the bartender? He's kind of hot, in a... Dirty, "I’m gonna hate myself in the morning" sort of way. Ciao. Nathan : Hey you. Haley : Hi. Oh, thank you. Nathan : You know, I could get used to being the one watching from the stands. Haley : No, it's my job. I’m not giving it up. Nathan : Oh. You were amazing, Hales. Haley : Thank you. When I was up there, I couldn't stop thinking about how lucky we are and how we just got everything we dreamed of -- Jamie and how far we've come, and it just feels like nothing can get in the way of that anymore. Nathan : Why do we say things like that? Haley : What? Nathan : Well, I didn't want to tell you this before the show, but... Haley : He is the healthiest-looking dying man I have ever seen. Nathan : I guess evil does a body good. Rachel : It's everything I took from you -- plus interest. Brooke : Well. Not that I have anything to say to your thieving ass, but you took a lot more than money, Rachel. Rachel : And I’m trying to take responsibility for that, Brooke. You should, too. Brooke : I'm sorry. Is that hair color seeping into your brain? What in your twisted, little head am I responsible for? Rachel : You left an envelope full of money with a junkie. Brooke : Says the junkie. Rachel : True forgiveness is about accepting our own fault in things. You'd know that if you watched the show. Now, I have given you an apology and a check, and you've given me nothing. But that's okay. I forgive -- Brooke : Stay away from me, bitch. Dan : Whiskey -- straight up. Grubbs : Hmm. I'd have guessed blood. Nathan : Interesting choice for the poster boy of redemption and clean living. Dan : I know I surprised you today. I'm sorry about that. Nathan : You're always sorry, Dan. So, why are you back? What do you want? Dan : A chance. Nathan : It's not gonna happen, Dan. And I’m kind of thinking you should cancel your plane ride to ask Lucas, too. Dan : You know, I’d hoped fixing things between you and Renee would help thaw the ice a bit. Nathan : So you did that for yourself. Dan : No. I did it for you. Nathan : Well, I already said "Thank you." You know... There's never gonna be a golden ticket back into my life. I'll tolerate you for Jamie. But you're dad to me. The moment Keith died, you died. * Just close your eyes * * and we'll take off * Quinn : It's like watching an antelope at the watering hole in the Serengeti. Clay : This antelope hasn't hooked up at the watering hole in weeks. There's a nun that's been hogging all my time. Quinn : Oh, excuse me. I guess I’ve been messing up your game. Clay : Eh, it's okay. The game was getting old. I thank you for today. I'm glad that you got me out of the house. Those kids were good for me. Quinn : Yeah. I know, right? It's all about finding magic in unexpected places. Clay : Yeah. Quinn : So, did you get that call you were waiting on? Clay : Not yet. But, you know, I’ve done a lot of deals like this. Silence is just one of their tools. It'll work out. Quinn : I hope so. Clay : Yeah. Quinn : Well, I should get going. I have to be up early and bring coffee to this friend of mine. He kind of depends on me. I'll see you tomorrow. Clay : Quinn. Who says tonight's over? AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Brooke : I just thought you'd be home by now. Julian : Look, me too, but she's all alone. Brooke : So am I. Julian : Brooke, you know I love you. I just don't think I should leave her yet. She's... I'm worried about her. Brooke : well, I'm worried about us. But you do what you've got to do. AT TRIC Dan : I was stupid to think he'd let me back in. Rachel : Baby, let's go back to L.A. Let's leave these small people and this small town. Dan : This small town's the closest thing we have to home. And I’m not running from it anymore. Neither should you. Rachel : Who says I’m running? Dan : You are. We both are. And I’m not leaving until I get what I came for. Rachel : What's that, Dan? Dan : Redemption. ON THE BEACH Quinn : Come on. You totally can't see it? Look closer. I swear that there's a face on the moon. Clay : Oh, yeah. Look at that. It -- wow. It’s entirely made of cheese, too. Quinn : Oh, yeah, and you totally suck. Clay : And you totally crack me up. And I -- I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. You want to go for a swim? Quinn : Says the man that knows I’m afraid of the water. Clay : What if I’m afraid, too? Quinn : Okay, I’ll play. What are you afraid of? Clay : To move on and to feel something for someone now. But I’m tired of being afraid. I... * Head is spinning * Clay : There are so many reasons that I shouldn't have done that. But I’ve wanted to for so long. Quinn : Mm-hmm. Me too. * I’m still smiling * AT ALEX’S HOTEL ROOM Julian : You can do it, Alex. Alex : I know. Wait. I don't understand. Julian : I do. You've been lying all night. Nice performance, Alex. Alex : No, I wasn't lying. I swear. Julian, please. It was full. * The sun breaks the darkness * * and I wake to all of this * Why can't you be the girl AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Brooke : Why can't you be the girl who gets the boy and the baby Brooke Davis? AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Hey. Nathan : You know that this thing with Dan -- Haley : It's gonna be okay, right? He can't hurt us anymore. Nathan : Yeah, I know. Haley : Good.

Reporter : Big news in the NBA -- the charlotte bobcats have opened up their checkbook and capped themselves out, acquiring Derek McDaniel in a hush-hush deal late today. That’s bad news for local star Nathan Scott, who is going to have to find a spot elsewhere, if at all. One Tree Hill – Season 07 - Episode 10 AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Reporter : In the national league, the dodgers bat the cardinals... Haley : Nathan, what's happening? Nathan : They signed a point guard. Haley : Well, what does that mean? Nathan : It means -- it means I lost my job. Haley : But... Nathan : Look, they signed Derek McDaniel, okay? He's an all-star, he plays my position, and he costs a lot of money. Haley : Okay. Nathan : There's a salary cap, all right? Each team can only spend so much money. That report said the team's capped out. Haley : So that means -- Nathan : They're done. The Roster's locked. They signed a point guard, and it's not me. I have to go see clay. Haley : Nathan, can clay fix this? Nathan : No. As of five minutes ago, I'm not gonna be a bobcat. You know, I told clay to make sure that he closed this deal for me, and he said he would. Now I want him to look me in the eye and tell me why he lied to me. AT ALEX’S HOTEL ROOM Julian : You lied to me. Alex : Julian, wait! It was full of cocaine! I swear! Julian : Come on, alex. You were lonely and you wanted me here, So you made up some story about a cocaine vial that you knew was empty. Alex : That's not true. i wouldn't lie to you. Julian : Oh, right, because your track record of not lying is so impeccable. Alex : I don't deserve that. Julian : Then where is it? You tell me what -- what the cocaine fairy did with your supposed vial of blow, and I’ll take it all back. Until then, don't call me ever. Dan : Who you are is who you are. We're liars. We're thieves. We're addicts. We take our happiness for granted until we hurt ourselves or someone else. AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Julian : Brooke, are you awake? Could you open the door, please? I'm sorry. Dan : We hold grudges. and when faced with our mistakes, we reinvent the past. We reinvent ourselves. At least, we try. We're prideful and we're lustful and we are incredibly flawed. And eventually...our flaws catch up to us. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : Nate. What's up? Nathan : We need to talk. Clay : What's wrong? Nathan : What's wrong? What's wrong is I don't have a job. Clay : It's gonna be okay. we countered. Nathan : And? Clay : And I’m waiting to hear back. Nathan : Well, you can stop waiting. The bobcats just signed Derek McDaniel. Clay : No, they wouldn't do that. That would cap'em out. Nathan : It did cap them out! That was my team, clay! We were building something! Clay : Hold on. Wait. Where did you hear this? Nathan : It's on "sports center," for god's sake, clay! You're my agent! What the hell have you been doing?! Quinn : Baby, where's that beer you promised? Nathan : No, I --I take it back. you were my agent. Clay : No. Nate, would you just wait? Nathan : You knew how important it was for my family that I play close to home. Clay : I know that. Nathan : So why didn't you close the deal?! Clay : Because I thought we could do better. Nathan : Oh, that's great. I asked you to do two things for me -- Make sure i play for the bobcats and stay away from Quinn. You're fired. Enjoy your date. Clay : What? Nate! Nate! Clay : Gene, you told me you weren't pursuing any other point guards. You said you were negotiating with Nathan, And that you were spending the rest of your money on a center. Absolutely Derek McDaniel's a fantastic player, but we were in the middle of a negotiation. So I assume that the 2-year offer is -- You're capped out. Right. Yeah. I'm -- I'm sorry, too. I appreciate you taking the call so late at night… Negotiations are about risks. You take calculated risks. I was doing what I thought was right. Quinn : Of course you were. Clay : I made a mistake. Quinn : Can I help you? Clay : No. But thank you. I, uh, I actually should -- I should probably just call my bosses and just see what I could do for Nathan somewhere else in the league. So, you know, you -- you probably should get going. Quinn : Yeah. You know, just... I dragged you along to the volunteer thing, and I was here tonight, and – Clay : It's not your fault. Quinn : I'm so sorry. Clay : Hey, it's not your fault. Come here. Quinn : If there's anything that I can do... Clay : There's not... But thank you. I'll call you. Quinn : Look, you should call Nathan and talk to him. You know that he loves you. Clay : Yeah. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Lauren : Antwon, it's 3:00 a.m. Skills : I know, baby. I was checking to see if Julian called. He said he was gonna hook me up with his sports-coordinating contacts. Lauren : I know that's what he said, and I'm sure he will, but nobody's gonna call at 3:00 in the morning. Skills : He could. Lauren : He won't. Nobody's up 3:00 a.m. Skills : Somebody's up. Mouth : Millie? Millicent : Oh, hey. Mouth : What's going on? Millicent : I'm getting rid of my fat clothes. Mouth : At 3:00 in the morning? Millicent : I couldn't sleep. Mouth : okay. Uh, do you want some company? Millicent : No. It's okay. You can sleep. I'll come to bed when I'm done. Mouth : Millie, are you okay? Millicent : Never been better. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Quinn : Hey. What are you doing up? Haley : Worrying. What are you doing out? Quinn : I was at clay's. Haley : Yeah, I know. Quinn : Do you know Nathan fired him? Haley : Yep. Quinn : yeah. It's not right, Haley. Haley : Don't talk to me about what's right. In fact, don't even talk to me at all. Quinn : Oh, are you gonna fre me, too, because I was with clay? Haley : You feel bad for clay? Quinn : Of course I do. Haley : You should. You were a huge part of him getting fired tonight. And you know it. Why don't you sleep on that? AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Brooke : How'd you sleep? Julian : Not good. Brooke : Good. Julian : I'm sorry. I thought Alex was in trouble, and I reacted. Brooke : She okay? Julian : She's fine. Brooke : Imagine that. Julian : Brooke, you would have done the same thing if she would have called you. Brooke : Yeah, but she didn't call me. She called her boyfriend I mean, my boyfriend. Julian : Look, I know we were supposed to have a night together, but we can do that tonight. Or any night, okay? Don't get upset. Brooke : I'm not upset about that. Julian : Yes, you are. Brooke : Not about that. Julian : Well, what else is there? Brooke : I thought I was pregnant. Julian : What? Brooke : I'm not. So you're good. Julian : I would have been good if you were. If we were. Brooke : Don't say that to me. Julian : You knew last night. I'm such an idiot. Come here. I'm sorry. I messed up. Are you sad? Brooke : A little. Julian : It's gonna be okay. AT ALEX’S HOTEL ROOM Millicent : Hey. Alex : Hey Millicent : I need more clothes. Mine a way too big. Alex : Did you ever hear of this place called a store? They actually sell clothes. Millicent : the "sell" part's the problem. I'm so broke right now. Alex : Well, then you need to call my agent, like I told you. How'd you get in, anyway? Millicent : I've had a key to your place since, like, forever, member? Alex : Which explains why you've pretty much taken everything in there. You're up early. Millicent : I didn't sleep. I mean, I couldn't sleep. I just totally sorted through my clothes and threw out, like, 90% of it. Most of it was ass-ugly anyway. Alex : Yeah. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : Nate, it's clay. Look, I know you're upset, man, and you have every right to be, but will you at least please call me back? We've been friends for a long time, and... I'm sorry. Just call me back. AT TREE HILL HIGH SCHOOL Dan : Rachel? Rachel : Oh. Hi, baby. Dan : Hi. What's going on? Rachel : Well, I came here last night just to take a walk down bad memory lane, and I had an idea. For sweeps. We do a live broadcast... right from here. Dan : From the hallway where I mrder my brother? Rachel : Exactly. Dan : Where one of your classmates committed su1c1de? Rachel : I was in the classroom that day. I can lend an authenticity to it. We can reach out to the disenfranchised or whatever. And you can finally come to term with the choices you made that day. Oh. It'll be riveting television. Dan : Little insensitive, isn't it? Rachel : Not as insensitive as mrder your brother. Think about it. AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Julian : What? Alex : I know who took the coke. Julian : Alex, you... Okay. Why not? Who? Alex : I can't tell you. Julian : It's perfect. Y-You know what? It doesn't matter. Alex : It does matter. You said you didn't want to speak to me. Julian : No, Alex, it doesn't matter. I just got off the phone with my dad. I was about to call you. It's not happening for the script. Alex : What do you mean? A-Already? Julian : It's good script, Alex. It's just... There are a few other scripts with similar story lines already in production. Alex : But our-- Our script is good. I mean, it-- It's great. Julian : It's just bad timing. Alex : So it's really over? Just like that? Julian : Yeah. I'm sorry. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : Ken, I'm sorry. Yeah. I heard that Sacramento was gonna sign McDaniel I had been told done deal. No, I- I wasn't being overly aggressive. They offered Nathan two years. I countered at four, but-- Yeah, there was a 2-year offer on the table, but-- I said I'm sorry, sir. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : Don't expect me to say I'm sorry. Quinn : You shouldn't have fired him. Nathan : It's business, Quinn. Quinn : No, it's personal, and you know that it is. Nathan : Do you like staying here? In your big guestroom? 'Cause I just lost my job, Quinn. It is business. Quinn : Talk to him. Nathan : It's not him. It's his agency. Quinn : Nathan, do what you have to do, but please don't tell them that you fired him. He's going through some stuff, and he has always been there for you. Just think about it, please? Nathan : This is Nathan. Yes. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Victoria : Brooke?! Brooke : What are you doing here? Victoria : You asked me to come. Brooke : I did not. Victoria : Well, not in so many words, but a call after midnight with no message is a call for help. So, what's wrong? It's Julian and Alex, isn't it? Brooke : Kind of. It's... Julian and Alex and me. It's the new line and my idea for the men's line. It's… all of it. Victoria : And where's Millicent? Or does my boss no longer help you now that she's one of them? Brooke : Millicent is the least of my worries right now. Victoria : Clothes over bros. It's for you. It's Millicent's agent. Brooke : Millicent has an agent? Victoria : Spencer and Heidi people. Go figure. Brooke : I wonder what she wants. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Brooke : $500,000?! Millicent : That's what you paid Alex. Brooke : She's an award-Winning actress. Millicent : Not anymore. Now she's one of two faces of clothes over bros. Oh, wait. You fired her. That leaves me. Brooke : Millie... You hear the words coming out of your mouth? Millicent : The campaign's a ht for us, Brooke. The press loves it. I just want what's fair. Brooke : What's fair? What's fair?! What's fair is that we're friends! What's fair is that you started out as my assistant, and I trained you to run the entire company! What's fair is that when you were miserable in New-York, I moved you home so you could be with Mouth! Millicent : And I appreciate all of that. But I don't see how it has anything to do with this. Brooke : Well, it does. Because you're being ungrateful. You are an ungrateful employee. Millicent : No. I'm an ungrateful model. And that costs more. AT RED BEDROOMS RECORDS Nathan : Bad time? Haley : Hey. No. Come on in. Nathan : You sure? 'Cause if you're writing the next "wanted dad or alive," I don't want to interrupt. Haley : Bon Jovi? Really? Nathan : I love that song. Haley : So... How you doing? Do I need to go platinum so we can keep the house? Nathan : No, not yet. The agency called this morning. They're saying all the right things but... You think I made the right decision by fring Clay. Haley : I don't know. It's a tough question. On one hand, he's Clay. You guys have been friends for over a year. And he's a huge reason why we are where we are today. Nathan : I know. Haley : On the other hand you're unemployed a bunch of million dollars poorer. He didn't do what you told him to, and you're not gonna be able to play close to home next season. And he's sneaking around with Quinn. Nathan : I know. That's a lot. Haley : Yeah, it is. You said the agency called Did you them that you fired him? Nathan : No. Quinn said he's going through some stuff, so. Haley : Yeah. Quinn's going through some stuff. You know, we're all going through some stuff. This is your career, and we've sacrificed a lot for it. I think you should put yourself first. Nathan : I need to make a call. AT THE RIVER COURT Skills : Man, I thought you was never gonna call. Julian : I said I would. Why, you waiting by the phone? Skills : No. Julian : All right, so there's this sport-coordination company called Sports-Arc. They do a bunch of TV show and movies. They want to talk to you. Skills : That's what I'm talking about. Baby, that's good looking out. Julian : So they're out in LA. They're a great bunch of guys, you just got to call them and introduce yourself. I'll huh... I'll text you the number. Skills : Wait, so if... if they're in LA, would I still be able to work from here like you do? Julian : Uh, eventually, but I think you'd have to move out there for a little while, at least at first. Skills : Okay, so... Los Angeles. Julian : Look, I got to take off. I'll text you their number. I hope it all works out, all right? Skills : All right thanks again man. I owe you one. Julian : Don't worry about it. AT ALEX’S HOTEL ROOM Millicent : Alex? Hey, what's up? Alex : Just waiting for a text. Millicent : Okay. You sounded weird on the phone. Alex : You need to stop doing cocaine. Millicent : What? You're a funny bitch. Alex : Don't call me a bitch. You need to stop doing cocaine. And you know I say that with no judgment and a lot of experience because it's my cocaine you've been doing. Millicent : Alex... Alex : That you took out of my closet with all of my clothes Miss "I've been up all night and I have my own key to your room." So don't lie to me. Millicent : I'm sorry. Alex : Have you ever done coke before this? Then trust me -- it's time to stop. I will. And you can? Millicent : Of course I can. I just wanted to try it, but I don't need to do it. Alex : That's right. You don't. You can roll with me, and we'll have a blast. But I can't be around cocaine, and I can't have friends that are doing it. I won't. Millicent : Okay. I promise. I'm done. Alex : Okay. Now come here. I need a hug. Millicent : Why? Alex : Because I have to stop my drug, too. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke : She must be high. Victoria : No I'm not high. I just had three martinis at lunch. Okay, I'm a little buzzed. Brooke : Not you drinky. Millicent. She expects me to pay her $500,000 to model for this company. Victoria : That's not high. That's smoking crack. Brooke : that's what I said! You know, this is all Alex’s influence. That little bitch has been a pain in my perfect pilates ass since she rolled out of rehab and landed here. Victoria : You leave Alex to me. But, you know, as far as Millicent -- The campaign's working. Brooke : That is not the point mother. Victoria : Actually, it is. I'm just saying that, you know, we can negotiate, find a happy meeting. Brooke : Forget it. I'm closer to fring her than to negotiating with her. Victoria : I understand. I do. But you can't fre everyone. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Clay : Hey. Quinn : Hey. They're in the living room. Clay : How long have they been here? Quinn : About 20 minutes. I called you as soon as I found out. Clay : Thanks. Quinn : Yeah. Ken : I can't reiterate enough that while this is a setback, we feel like there's still a great deal to make for you with another team. Clay : And what deal is that, Ken? Ken : I don't think this is the time or place, Clay. Quinn : I'll be upstairs with Jamie. Clay : With all due respect, I think it is. What deal were you gonna get Nathan, Ken? Jay : Actually, we've o... Clay : Shut up, Jay. What teams have you spoken with? 'Cause since last night, I talked to every GM or assistant GM in the league. Nate, this is what they do, all right? At the first sign of blood, they insist upon seeing you, and they promise you a ton of things they can't deliver. Nathan : Actually, I called them. Ken : Clay, Nathan tells us you're not representing him anymore. And we respect that, considering what happened with the Bobcats. Clay : And? Ken : And I think it's best if you resign and leave the agency. Clay : No, I can't do that. I made a vow to someone that I would never quit and I'm not about to betray that now. Ken : Then, unfortunately, as of today, you're no longer employed by ISC. You're not to enter your office here or Los Angeles. Kelly will send you your personal belongings. Kelly : I'm sorry, Clay. Clay : It's okay, Kelly. I'm sorry, too. AT THE BAR Dan : This seat taken? Mouth : No, but yes. Dan : I appreciate what you did for Nathan. I assume since you're here, your station manager didn't. Good luck with the job hunt. Mouth : It doesn't matter... what you did and what I did. Nathan still lost his job. Dan : Since when? Mouth : Since they signed Derek McDaniel. Television's funny, isn't it? It can erase all your mistakes or hold them against you. Dan : Doesn't erase anything. And you didn't make a mistake. Remember that. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Millicent : 0 is so a size. Hey. It's Millie. I need a favor. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Wow, look at that. My sister, Quinn, running away again. Quinn : You know, before you say anything else like that, you might want to remember that I can kick your ass. Haley : Going home? Quinn : I'm going to Clay's. Haley : That is such a bad idea. Quinn : Yeah? So was fring him. I saw the look on Nathan's face when he saw me there. Haley : Really? You're gonna make this about you? This is about Nathan's career and business. Quinn : It's business, but it's not just business, and you know that, Haley. He was hurting, Haley. And he protected Nathan from it. He swallowed his pain, and he put Nathan first. And in trying to get you more and him more, something went wrong. And those things happen in business. Haley : "Something went wrong"? Maybe something went wrong because Clay got careless. Quinn : You mean with me. Because Clay was being careless and spending time with me. You know what? Fine. You can tell yourself that. But the truth is, Nathan doesn't have a deal because Clay didn't think it was good enough. He thought that Nathan was worth more than what they were offering him. How dare he, right? I mean, where does he get off holding Nathan in such high esteem that he thought that he deserved better? If that's the worst thing he ever does, if that's what he got fired for, then I'm happy he's not in Nathan's life anymore because Clay deserves better than that. He klled himself for Nathan. He believed in him, and he loved him. For what? Look, I love you, Hales, but this is wrong. So now you can sleep on that. AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Julian : Hi. Brooke : They're beautiful. Julian : So are you. How you doing? Brooke : Not so good. Julian : Yeah, I know. Brooke : I don't think you do. Julian : No, I suppose I don't. But I want you to know something... I know that I've talked about slowing down and taking our time... but I want you to know that whenever we do get pregnant, that's gonna be a great day. And I'll be more than okay with it. Brooke : We're not gonna have that day. Julian : Baby, we will. Brooke : No, we won't. They didn't just tell me that... that I wasn't pregnant. They said I'm never gonna be. I can't. Julian : You can't have children? They told you that? Brooke : I'm sorry. Julian : Brooke... Hey, shh. Baby, it's okay. Brooke : It's not. Julian : It is. It's going to be. I love you so much. Brooke : But I want to have babies with you. I want to have a family. Julian : Then we'll get a second opinion. And a third, okay? We'll find the best doctors out there. Brooke : What if... Julian : Hey, shh, shh. I love you. That's all that matters. I love you. Brooke : I love you, too. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Mouth : Millicent? Millicent : Just a minute. Mouth : You okay? Millicent : Yeah, I'm fine. Makenna's over. It's just... model stuff. Mouth : Okay. Um... I kind of have to use the bathroom. Millicent : Hold on. Hey. Mouth : Hey. Makenna : Hey. Mouth : You must be Makenna. Makenna : Yep. Bye. Mouth : What's going on, Millie? Millicent : What? Mouth : You're up all night. You're in the bathroom with strangers. Millicent : She's a friend. Mouth : Not to me. What's happening to you? Millicent : I don't... I'm sorry. I just... those diet pills. I'll cut back or I'll just stop taking them. Mouth : What's this all about? Millicent : I don't know. What is that? Mouth : Are you doing drugs? Millicent : Why are you saying that to me? Mouth : Because you're in the bathroom with some stranger, you're pacing around like a lunatic, and there's cocaine on your makeup mirror. Millicent : It was Makenna. She does it. I swear it was just her. I wanted to tell her no, but I work with her, and I just...wanted to be part of the group. Mouth : Are you doing cocaine, Millie? Millicent : No. I told you no. And I am so sick and tired of you being so thrat by all of this. It's like I can't do anything right anymore, and I'm really sick of it! And you need to stop! Stop accusing me of things, stop judging me... Mouth : I think this is yours. ON THE BEACH Clay : Sorry. Dan : A lifetime spent chasing a dream and you piss it all away? Clay : You don't know what you're talking about. Dan : Oh, yeah? Why don't you enlighten me? Clay : Why? What are you gonna do? sht me? Dan : Ever since Nathan was born, I had a vision for him, a dream! Clay : Let go! Dan : What did you do? Clay : Stop! He fired me! I'm not his agent! Dan : Yeah? Well, this is your lucky day, 'cause this is your baptism. You got any fight left in you, kid? Come on! That's it. Fight back. Fight back! There you go! You think getting fired is hard? Try going to prison! Try being given just days to live! Clay : You're out of your mind! Dan : Dan : Your new life starts today, kid. If you're worth anything at all, you'll find a way to make it right. Clay : I already told you! I'm not his agent anymore! Dan : Dan : And who's to blame for that? Your life is still your own. You want to be an agent? Go be an agent. Just put on a suit, for God's sakes. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Quinn : So wait... he just attcked you and then dragged you into the ocean? Clay : He said he was baptizing me. That if I wanted to be an agent, I need to wear a suit. Quinn : What? Clay : It isn't funny. Quinn : It's a little funny. Clay : That a mrder tried to drown me and then give me fashion advice... that's funny to you? The girl who's afraid of the ocean? Quinn : A little. Clay : It's a lit... it's a little funny, actually. I had all this coming. I was arrogant with Nathan's deal. I was arrogant in general. Quinn : You didn't deserve to be fired. Or to have a kller dunk your head and criticize your wardrobe. Clay : Thank you. I mean it. Quinn : You're welcome. I just... I feel terrible. You know, I know Nathan didn't want me here and... Clay : I want you here. Quinn : I left the house. I moved out. Clay : Stay here. Quinn : Yeah, I... I can't. I'm sorry. Clay : It's okay. Quinn : You know, I do think he was right about the suit. AT TRIC Victoria : So, I've been watching this little psychic bartender act you have going... the way you predict what people like to drink. What's the trick? Grubbs : It's no trick. I just pay attention to people. Victoria : Okay. What's my... drink? Grubbs : That's easy. You're a martini woman. Uh, you detest cheap vodka. And you like your martinis dirty, the dirtier the better. And you like your martinis shaken, a bit roughly, at that. Victoria : I'm looking for a lover. And you just made the list. Chase : Hi, Mrs. Davis. Victoria : I'm sorry. Do I know you? Chase : Really? Come on. Victoria : Oh, I remember. You know my daughter. Your name is Fetch or Dash or something. Chase : It’s Chase. Victoria : Right. Grubbs : But I didn't just date your daughter. We were, uh, lovers. Victoria : Yes. For about 30 seconds, from what I've heard. Grubbs : We should shave that woman's head and check for the mark of the beast. I thought she was kind of hot. Alex : Hi, grungy, kind of hot bartender guy. Grubbs : Four sh*ts of tequila, no salt, extra limes. Alex : Woah, and can you tell how I like to – Grubbs : Mostly on top. Alex : Huh. Nice. You just made the list. Hey. You okay? Millicent : No, I'm not. Alex : Me neither. Let's drink. Millicent : But your sober-- why did you do that? Alex : You know that text message I was waiting for? I never got it. Stay with me tonight, okay? Millicent : Sure. AT A BAR Dan : Not exactly what I meant when I said, "take control of your life." At least the suit looks nice. Guess some people just don't have the fortitude. Clay : My wife died. Suddenly and unfairly. But she believed in me, and she believed in what I wanted to do. So, I buried her, and I picked out her headstone, and then I went to work. So don't tell me about fortitude, and don't lecture me about dark days because this is far from my darkest day. Dan : You want to get a drink? Clay : I might be in a dark place. At least there's hope for me with Nathan. I wouldn't say the same for you. AT TRIC Alex : All right. Let's go someplace fun. Come on. Millicent : We should call a cab. Alex : Yeah, because that's how we roll. Millicent : Come on. Victoria : Yes, I'd like to report a drunk driver. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Quinn : Hey. Just wanted to say goodbye to Jamie. Haley : You staying with Clay? Quinn : No. a hotel. Okay. I'll see ya. Haley : Quinn. All my life I've looked up to you, my beautiful artist sister. But I don't anymore. you seem lost to me. You seem... Selfish. Quinn : I hope everything works out for Nathan. ON THE ROAD Policeman : Step out of the car, please. ON THE RIVER COURT Clay : You never called back. Nathan : There wasn't anything else to say. Clay : Except for this -- I'm sorry. Not for where I set the bar for you, but that I didn't get you what you wanted. You're the best client I've ever had. I'm gonna miss representing you. Yeah, but more than that...you were also the best friend I've ever had. I'm gonna miss that more. Good luck. IN JAIL/AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Brooke : Allo. Millicent : Brooke, it's Millicent. I'm sorry. I got arrested, and I need your help. Brooke : I can't help you. Julian : Who was that? Brooke : Nobody.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "07x10 - You Are A Runner And I Am My Father's Son"}	foreverdreaming
Previously on "One Tree Hill"... Clay : What's wrong? Nathan : What's wrong is I don't have a job. I asked you to do two things for me... make sure I play for the Bobcats and stay away from Quinn. You're fired. Haley : Maybe something went wrong because Clay got careless. Quinn : You mean with me? If that's what he got fired for, then I'm happy he's not in Nathan's life anymore. Julian : All right, so there's this sports-coordination company called Sportsarc... they want to talk to you. Skills : That's good looking out. Rachel : We do a live broadcast. Dan : From the hallway where I mrder my brother? Where one of your classmates committed su1c1de? Julian : It's not happening for the script. Alex : So it's really over? Julian : Yeah. I'm sorry. Millicent : It's Millicent. I got arrested, and I need your help. Brooke : I can't help you. Doctor : I am sorry, but the test came back negative. Julian : You can't have children? They told you that? Brooke : I'm sorry. Julian : Brooke. One Tree Hill – Season 7 Episode 11 AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Quinn : You're kind of nicely dressed for a guy who just got fired. Clay : Well, an agent should wear a suit. Plus, I don't want to get drowned again. Quinn : So which clients are staying with you? Clay : None. ISC got to everyone. Quinn : Every single one? Clay : Everyone they know about. But there is a kid in Arkansas that agreed to sign with me not too long ago. They don't know about him. And there's a little secret that only I know about him. Quinn : And what's that? Clay : In four years, he is gonna be the best quarterback in the NFL. Quinn : That's so great. You can do this. I'm so proud of you. Clay : Thanks. That means a lot. It means everything, actually. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : Great. Yeah, I'll see you in a few. Thanks. That was the agency. They got an offer coming in. Haley : That's good news. From where? Nathan : Actually, I'm not sure, but they're on their way over now to fill us in. Haley : It sounded good, though, right? Nathan : I'll be playing in the NBA. That's all that matters. Haley : Ohh! AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Julian : So, I was thinking about taking some time off from... well, doing nothing. How'd you like to spend some quality time with your boyfriend? Brooke : I can't. Julian : Oh, come on. Brooke : No really. I need to go talk to Millicent. I am so pissed at her, so pissed that... Julian : That you're gonna go over and check that she's okay? Brooke : Yeah. Julian : Love my girl. Hey. I don't need kids to make me happy. I just need you, Brooke Davis. Brooke : What did I do to deserve you? AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Lauren : Okay, sizzle reel? Skills : Yeah, you know, "sizzle" like "hot." It's kind of like a highlight reel that I can use to show the company in Los Angeles that I can actually do this job. And Julian said if I turn in a good reel, then they'll hire me. I just don't know what to sht. Jamie : You should get these guys. "White men can't jump." It's my favorite. These guys are awesome. Someday, I want to play just like them. Skills : So, what are you and chuck doin' this afternoon? Mouth : Hold that thought. Hey, Brooke, what's up? Brooke : Hey Where's Millie? Mouth : I don't know. She didn't come home last night. Brooke : You don't know? Mouth : Know what? Brooke : Millie got arrested for drunk driving last night. I'm sorry, I thought you would have heard. Mouth : I'll call you. IN FRONT OF THE POLICE STATION Victoria : Oh! Millicent : Victoria? What are you doing here? Victoria : Right now? Having second thoughts. Millicent : Did you just bail me out? Victoria : A simple "thank you" will suffice. And now, if you're quite finished with your star turn in "the slutshank redemption," I think we'll be on our way. Millicent : I'm so sorry, victoria. Victoria : Please save the gratitude for someone who cares. I'm just protecting our investment. Zero may not be a size, but it's clearly your I.Q. Now get yourself home, clean yourself up, and whatever you do, don't show your face at Clothes Over Bros until you're ready to act like a professional. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Ken : So what you have to understand is that right now every NBA team has a full roster, and most are capped out. Haley : So, what do you guys propose? Ken : Regal Barcelona. Nathan : Spain? I already turned down a European offer. Ken : The timing's different now. We could probably get you the league minimum somewhere, but that's gonna hurt your profile in the long run. Man : Barcelona is a good get. Ken : You see, the trick right now is making sure your quote stays up and keeping you viable now that the Bobcat deal is dad. Barcelona does both those things. Haley : But he wants to play in the NBA. Ken : And he will. Nate, you got to trust us on this. Take the family to Spain, work on your game, and next year, we'll have you back in the NBA. AT RED BEDROOM RECORDS Miranda : Bright and early, as discussed. Very commendable, Haley James Scott. Our "accidental release" of your track just went viral on the net. Your fans are eating it up like Christmas trifle. We have to finish this album. Haley : Yeah, about that... um, how do you feel about me finishing the remaining tracks in Spain? Miranda : Do you understand what's happening right now? This is lightning in a bottle. It's been years since your last album, Haley, and you have momentum again. We have to capitalize on that. Haley : Nathan got a job offer in Spain. Miranda : Good. Then you can send him a copy of the album when we finish. Haley : I'm serious, Miranda. He's worked really hard for this. It's his dream. Miranda : And what about your dream? Haley : Maybe it can wait a little longer. Miranda : Well, this says it can't. That's a ticket to the start of your tour in advance support of your new smash album. You ship out next week. Not to do so would be a violation of your contract. Haley : Well, I'm not sure I can do this, Miranda. Miranda : Well, the survival of this label depends on it, so you better get sure. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Mouth : Millie, this is like the fourth time I've called. Where... I'm glad you're okay. But all of this needs to stop. I need you to figure that out. And I'm really afraid of what might happen if you don't figure it out, because... I miss the old Millie. I miss the Millie that would rather stay in and play video games than stay out all night without calling. I miss the Millie who cared about her real friends and worked hard at her job. I miss that Millie. I want her back. I still love you, Millicent. AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Alex : I'm sorry I said "I love you." Julian : It's okay. Come in. Alex : Fact is, I'm sorry about a lot of things I've done these days. I know I drive everyone crazy, and Brooke must hate me right now. It's hard because I... I just thought that... Julian : You thought what? Alex : I thought we would be doing this great thing, you know? And now it's all over before it even started. Julian : Hey, I loved the script, too, but there will be other scripts, other projects. Alex : You think so? Julian : I know so. You're talented. The important thing is to just keep moving forward. I mean, you know how Hollywood works. It has nothing to do with you. Alex : You always make me feel better. Julian : It'll be okay, I promise. Besides, I kind of need to spend some quality time with Brooke right now. Alex : Is everything okay? Julian : It will be eventually. It's just... Alex : Just what? Please don't tell me it's because of me. Julian : No. No, it's nothing like that. Alex : It is. You're mad at me. I can tell. Julian : No, Alex, it's just... Just forget it. Alex : Fine. It's obviously about me, 'cause if it wasn't, you'd tell me. Julian : We found out Brooke can't get pregnant. She can't have kids. Alex : Oh, my God. You must... she must be devastated. Is there anything I can do to help? Julian : No. God, I shouldn't even have told you. So, please, let's just keep it between us, okay? Alex : Sure. Julian : You know, to be honest, I didn't even know I wanted to have kids until the moment I found out I might not be able to. Alex : It's so sad. You would have been such a great dad. I'm sorry. ON THE ROAD Clay : Okay. All right. Nothing riding on this... just your whole career. But you've done this thousands of times. Kid with a big dream wants to see it happen, you make it happen. You are the dream merchant. And you are back. Huh. Excuse me, I... I seem to have gotten lost. I'm actually looking for the next hot NFL Q.B. Prospect. I was wondering if you could possibly point me in the right direction? Troy : Mr. Evans. It's good to see you. Clay : Yeah, likewise. How you been, man? Troy : Good. You doin' all right? AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Penny for your thoughts. Nathan : Are you sure about that? Might want your money back after you hear 'em. Haley : Try me. Nathan : I think we should go to Spain. I've been wrestling with it all morning, and in the end, I think Ken is right. If I sit out a year, I may never make it back to the NBA. Spain keeps me viable. Spain assures that I will make it back. Haley : There's no other option? Nathan : No. And, look, I know that it's not ideal, but it makes sense. And it's only for a year. At least we'll be together. Haley : Yeah. Nathan : What? What's wrong? Haley : The record company wants me to tour in support of my new album. I'm supposed to leave next week. AT TROY’S HOUSE Clay : Game ball from the conference championships, right? Troy : Right. Clay : Yeah. That... that was a great game. Troy : What did you pass for? 400 yards. Clay : It was 428 and 5 touchdowns, but who's counting, right? Troy : You don't miss anything, do you? Clay : It's my job not to miss. And I promise you that I won't with you. All right, troy? I will do everything that I can to get you the best deal, the best endorsements. Troy : I know, but... Clay : What's going on, Troy? Troy : Ken Arthur called my dad two days ago. He said they fired you. IN TREE HILL HIGH SCHOOL Dan : I'm Dan Scott, and I've shown people the world over how to rebuild their lives through the power of forgiveness. But what about me? Can I be forgiven? Tune in tomorrow for a very special edition of "Scott free: redemption." And remember... the truth will set you free. Rachel : Cut! That was good, but I think you can go bigger. Dan : You don't think it's already too big? Rachel : Too big? No, it's genius. It'll take us to a whole other level. Everyone, back to one. We're going again. AT ALEX’S HOTEL ROOM Alex : Millie? Oh, my God, are you okay? Millicent : I'm fine. Alex : Was last night terrible or what? Millicent : It is what it is. I said I'm fine. Have you seen my 7's? Alex : No. Are these what you're looking for? Millicent : Yes! Can I have my jeans, please? Alex : Or is this what you're after? Millicent : Alex! That's mine. Alex, don't! Don't! Alex : Millie. Millicent : No! No! You did not just do that. Alex : Millie, you have to stop. I've been there, trust me. Millicent : How dare you? I thought you were my friend. Alex : I am. Millie, you can't see it now, but I know what I'm doing. You don't. Millicent : You think you're better than me? Well, you're not. You're just some washed-up actress that's too dumb to realize she's chasing after a boy that has no interest in her. And if you had half a brain, you'd understand that. Julian doesn't want you in his life, and neither do I. AT QUINN’S HOTEL ROOM Haley : You're coming with me. Quinn : I thought we were in a fight. Haley : Well, right now we're taking a time-out 'cause I need my big sister. Quinn : Okay. AT TROY’S HOUSE Troy : This farm's been in my family for five generations. Clay : It's nice. Troy : Yeah. But how much longer do you think my dad can really work this place? There's a lot riding on me right now. Hell, I stand to make more money in the next year than my dad made in his whole life. But I have one sht at this. My family has one sht at this. It's everything. I like you, Clay. And I know that I said I'd sign with you. But you're an agent without an agency. And this is my whole life. If you were me, what would you do? Clay : Who did Ken Arthur tell you he was gonna pair you up with? Troy : Mark Wetton. Clay : Well... I'd go with Jim Mitchel. He'll make a better fit. And, uh... good luck for everythings. I'll be seeing you around. AT CLOTHE’S OVER BROS Brooke : If you're looking for your partner in crime, you might want to try central booking. Alex : That's not why I'm here. I know what you're going through. My sister went through it, too. Of course, she was a lot older than you. Brooke : Julian told you? I can't believe this is happening. Alex : Yeah, he did, but don't hate on him for that. It's just we talk about everything, and he told me how much he wanted to have kids. So the important thing is that we get you some help. Brooke : We? We who? You and Julian? Alex : Yeah. Brooke : Well, since the two of you talk about everything, I'm sure he finally told you the real reason your script died. Alex : What real reason? Brooke : Oh... His dad had said that it was un-makeable with you attached. You are the reason the project is dad. Alex : No. No, that's not true. Brooke : It is true. Maybe you should ask Julian about that next time you talk about everything. Get out of my store. IN THE CIMETERY Clay : You know, I really need you right now. It's not fair to hide in my dreams and not be here when I need you the most. Talk to me, Sara. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : Jamie's not here. Dan : I'm not here to see Jamie. Nathan : Then what do you want? Dan : I want you to know before it gets out that I plan on doing a show about the day we lost Keith. Nathan : You mean the day you klled Keith. If you're gonna ask for forgiveness, get it right, Dan. Dan : I don't expect you to be okay with it. Just try to keep an open mind. This show is about helping people. Nathan : No, no, it's not. You know what I see when I watch it? I see a lot of miserable people and you taking their money. Dan : Just try to give it a chance. Nathan : A chance? You think after all these years I didn't want to believe that you're a better father than the man standing in front of me? I've given you a million chances. And the fact is, if you ever really helped anyone, if you did just one thing to show that you care about anyone but yourself, then maybe. But I know you, Dan. So... forgive me, but I'm all out of chances. AT THE RIVER COURT Skills : What's up, my boys? Y'all ready? You know the first play, right? Jamie : Just get out of eyeline and someone call "action." Chuck : Check it, chump. Skills : All right, let's try one. Action! This just might work. Haley : This will never work. If we go to Spain, then I screw Peyton and Red Bedroom Records, and if I go on tour, then Jamie gets homeschooled on a tour bus, and I don't get to see my husband for months. Quinn : Spain sounds cool. Good margaritas. Haley : I think that's Mexico. Quinn : What's Spain? Haley : I don't know. Sangria? Quinn : God, I love sangria. Haley : Really? Quinn : Okay. I'm sorry. Where were we? Haley : I was just saying that of course I want Jamie and Nathan to be happy, But I don't want to let Peyton down. Quinn : See, that's what I love about you. Haley : What... that I can't make up my mind? Quinn : No, that you're always worried about what everyone else wants. Now I think the most important question is... What do you want? AT MAKENNA’S HOTEL ROOM Makenna : So, what do you want? Millicent : It's just there's this big party tonight, and I was wondering if you could... I mean... Makenna : I could score you some more coke? Millicent : Yeah. Bitch, you rock. Makenna : Well, counting the last few favors, you owe me 600 bucks. Millicent : I don't have it right now. Makenna : Then that's a problem. But you might have one thing that I want. Millicent : What's that? Makenna : You know that red dress that I was supposed to wear at the Clothes Over Bros show? You get me that dress, we'll be square. Millicent : But that's an unreleased original from Brooke's new line. She'd freak if that got out. I can't give you that. Makenna : Then I think the weather report for Millieville is gonna be mostly cloudy with very little chance of snow. AT THE RIVER COURT Haley : So am I selfish if I want to go on tour? Quinn : No. Haley : Am I a bad person if I give up Red Bedroom Records so I can go to Spain and be with my husband? Quinn : No. Haley : So, what am I supposed to do? You're supposed to help me make this decision. Quinn : Okay, look, when we were growing up, I always depended on you. I mean, nothing has changed about that, Haley James. You're an amazing sister. And the one thing that I do know is that you always make the right decisions. So if you go to Spain, you're gonna be good. And if you go on tour, you'll be good. Because you're always good, Hales. You're kind of bad-ass like that. Haley : Hey... I'm sorry if I've been tough on you lately. I guess there's a part of me that just wants to try and fix everything. Forgive me? Quinn : I don't know. fight is officially over? Haley : I don't know. I haven't made up my mind yet. Quinn : Shut up! Jamie : You either smoke or get smoked. And you smell like smoke. Chuck : Your mom and my game... they are so fat! Jamie/Chuck : High five, low five, chest five... Toe five! Boo-Ya! Skills : That's my boy! AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Julian : Brooke, what's wrong? Brooke : You told Alex that I can't have children? Julian : Hey... Brooke : That was personal. That was between me and you, and you told her? Julian : I'm sorry. It was wrong. I... I just slipped. Brooke : How could you do that? Julian : Brooke, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Brooke : You know, what's even worse than you telling her is that you told her you want kids. You told her the truth and you lied to me. Julian : Brooke... AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Jamie/Chuck : High five, low five, chest five, toe five. Boo-Ya! Lauren : You did such a good job, Antwon. You made the kids look so cute. I think they were an inspired choice. Jamie : You're so getting this job, Uncle Skills. It's in the bag now. Skills : Yeah, well, if I do, I'm sure gonna miss you when I'm kickin' it in Cali. Jamie : You're moving away? Skills : Yeah, well, the job's in L.A. Jamie : But you never told me that part. Skills : Oh, I'm sorry, bro. I mean, it kind of just happened so fast. I thought you knew. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : I'm not going on tour. I want you to have your dream. Nathan : I want to show you something. Come here. Haley : What is this? Nathan : This is a map of your tour, but more than that, this is the adventure that you and Jamie are gonna have while I'm in Spain. See, you got Disneyland in L.A., the Grand Canyon outside of Phoenix, and then when you get to Chicago, there's this really great rib joint I know Jamie's gonna love. I got it all figured out... every stop, every city. Haley : Nathan... Nathan : And when you guys are done on the tour, you and Jamie can come to Spain, see me. See? Now you can have your dream, too. Haley : We should be together. Our family's been through so much. Nathan : Do you remember our anniversary in that old house? You told me then that you wished you could go on tour again, and I want you to have that wish. We should just be us, Hales. If we do that, then I think everything's gonna turn out fine. Haley : I love you, Nathan Scott. And I love our little family. Nathan : I love you, too. AT CLOTHES’S OVER BROS Victoria : Brooke? Brooke : It's nothing. Victoria : You're crying. Brooke : Mom, I can't have kids. Victoria : Well, I don't accept it. I just don't. We'll see a specialist... the best that money can buy. Brooke : I've been to a specialist. If there was anything that could be done, I would be doing it. Victoria : Well... It doesn't mean you can't have a family. We'll adopt. Brooke : It's not the same. Victoria : Yes, it is. Brooke : I just wanted it so bad. Victoria : How did Julian take the news? Brooke : He told Alex he wants kids. Victoria : Well, maybe he's not the one for you. Brooke : But what if I'm the one for him? AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Skills : I'm sorry I made you sad, man. But it ain't no big thing. I mean, just because I'm in L.A., that don't mean we won't get to see each other. Jamie : Like I see uncle Lucas? Skills : I know it's hard for you to understand right now... but sometimes us adults, we have to do certain things that we don't like. I mean, it's just part of being a grown-up. And even though he's gone, your uncle Lucas loves you very much. You know how I know that? Jamie : No. How? Because I love you, too. Jamie : So you won't forget about me in L.A.? Skills : Never. And maybe when you're older, you can come stay with me in Cali. 'cause I'll always be your Denzel. Jamie : And I'll always be your Macaulay, but I'm never leaving Tree Hill. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : I said I was leaving. Quinn : What do you mean? What happened with the quarterback? Clay : Nothing. And you know what? He's right. I have no business jeopardizing a kid's career. I'm not an agent. I'm a liability. In six months, I'll just be the cautionary tale they talk about at company retreats. Quinn : So that's it? You're just running away? Do you think Sara would let you quit? What do you think she'd say? Clay : Nothing. Sara's dad. Quinn : You know, when I said I was staying, I'm staying... Clay! I guess I'll see you. AT TREE HILL HIGH SCHOOL Mrs Edwards : Mr. Scott. Could I please trouble you for... Dan : For an autograph. Sure. No problem. Is there something special you wanted me to say? Mrs Edwards : You don't know who I am, do you? Dan : I'm sorry, I meet a lot of... Mrs Edwards : How dare you profit from the death of my Jimmy! You let everyone believe that he was a mrder. I had to bury him alone... alone and ashamed. And you have the nerve to talk about forgiveness. Well, I just came here today to tell you that you will never find forgiveness with me. Never. Rachel : Where's a camera crew when you really need one? AT CLOTHES’S OVER BROS Victoria : There you are. Good. You took what I said to heart. I was worried you'd be too ashamed to show your face around here. Millicent : No. I'm really sorry about last night. Victoria : Now that Alex is gone, a lot is riding on you, Millicent. You're the face we're putting out into the world. Brooke is counting on you. Don't mess it up. AT ALEX’S HOTEL ROOM Julian : What the hell was that? I asked you not to say anything, and you marched right over there the first chance you got. I never should have trusted you. Alex : I was just trying to help. Julian : Help? What... you call that help? Because of you right now, Brooke and I aren't even talking. Alex : Maybe that's not such a bad thing. Julian : What's that supposed to mean? Alex : It means I can give you everything you want, and Brooke can't. Julian : Okay, I thought we covered this ground after your last text, which, by the way, you said was a big mistake. Alex : Maybe I lied... because I love you. And deep down inside, I know you love me, too. Julian : Alex, let me be perfectly clear. I do not love you. I don't even like you. Alex : Julian, don't. Julian : Alex, this is goodbye. Alex : But you like me. You said I was talented. Julian : Well, maybe I lied. Alex : Brooke told me about the movie... the real reason it didn't sell. It was because of me, huh? So it's true, then? That nobody wants me? Julian : Yes. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Mouth : Millie, I've been looking all over for you. Didn't you get my calls, my texts? Millicent : My phone died. Sorry, I have to go. Mouth : Millie. You can't go. Millicent : I wasn't asking you, Marvin. I was telling you. Mouth : Hey! You need help, okay? You have a problem, and you need real help. Millicent : My only problem is you. Mouth : Millicent. If you walk out that door, don't bother coming back. Do you understand me? AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Julian : You okay? Brooke : No. But worse than that, we're not okay. You should have never stayed here. Being here means you have to give things up, and I am tired of making you give things up... L.A., work, Alex, and now... Julian : Brooke, I don't care about having kids. Brooke : That's not true, and you know it. You want all that... and you should have it. I don't want to be the girl that keeps denying it from you. I think you should take another movie. Julian : And what about us? What are you really saying? Brooke : I'm saying I need some time... Apart. AT THE AGENCY Quinn : Hi. You were Clay Evans' assistant, right? Girl : That's right. Quinn : I was wondering if you could help me. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Hello? Nathan : What are you wearing right now? Haley : Are you kidding me? That's the worst line ever. Where are you? Nathan : I'm just trying to get an early start on this whole long-distance romance thing. Haley : It's gonna be all right leaving Tree Hill, right? Tell me it's okay. Nathan : It's gonna be okay. I promise. Haley : And you think Jamie will understand? Nathan : He'll be fine. All right? IN THE LIMOSINE Rachel : Driver, let's go. Dan : I don't want to do the show. I'm done. Rachel : You're funny. Dan : This is your end. It's enough for you to start over. You have your whole life ahead of you. Rachel : But we're just getting started. Do you have any idea how big this is going to be? Dan : How much is enough, Rachel? Give me the number that'll make you happy. Rachel : You're serious. Are you trying to get rid of me, Dan? Dan : No, of course not. I just want to stop. We can run away and just live our lives. We can grow old together. Rachel : You're already old. Dan : What we have is enough. Rachel : It will never be enough. And I shouldn't have to remind you that, as your wife, I'm entitled to half. You're missing a few zeros. Of course, when that clock stops running, I'm entitled to all of it. It's gonna be a great show, honey. We always give them a great show. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Skills : The sizzle reel is officially in L.A. I just uploaded it. You think I'll get the job? Mouth : Yeah, I do. You deserve it. Skills : Yeah, but you know I couldn't have done it without you, right? Mouth : Yeah. Skills : So, how'd everything go with Millie? Mouth : Not good. Really bad, actually. Skills : Can you fix it? Mouth : I don't think so. Skills : I'm sorry, bro. So, promise me right now that if I get this job in L.A., you'll go with me. Don't even leave me hangin, Dawg. Mouth : Okay. Deal. Skills : My man. AT ALEX’S HOTEL ROOM Julian cell phone : Hey, this is Julian. Here comes the... Alex : I'm just calling to tell you how sorry I am for all the trouble that I've caused you, but you don't have to worry 'cause from now on, I won't be around to cause you any pain. And in spite of everything that you said to me, I will always love you. Goodbye.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "07x11 - You Know I Love You, Don\u2019t You"}	foreverdreaming
One Tree Hill – Season 7 Episode 12 AT TV BROADCAST Rachel : It's gonna be a good show. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Jamie? Jamie : Moving to Spain is bullsh... AT ALEX’S APPARTMENT Julian : Alex? Alex! Alex! AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Skills : I got the job. Lauren : In Los Angeles. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : First of all, we do not use that kind of language ever. And second of all, Spain is not gonna be... Caca del toro. It is gonna be an adventure and a learning experience. Do you understand me, son? Jamie : Forgiveness is love, you know? Nathan : What did I do? Haley : He's quoting your father now. It's unbelievable. Nathan : Come on. Give it up. Jamie : Ugh. That's gross. Aah! Nathan : Yeah. You sorry? Jamie : I guess. I just wanted you to play for the Bobcats again. Nathan : I know, Buddy. I'll tell you what. You know what I do when I'm having a bad day? Jamie : What? Nathan : Go to the bar. Let's go. Jamie : Sweet. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : It's open. Quinn : Hey. Clay : Hey. Quinn : I tried calling you. It went straight to voicemail. Clay : Yeah. I, uh, kind of threw my phone in the pool. Quinn : I went by your office. I thought maybe your assistant could help you somehow. Clay : It's okay. Quinn : No, it's not okay. It sucks... turtle eggs. Clay : Turtle eggs? Really? Quinn : I don't know. It sucks something. Anyway, she wanted me to tell you that, I guess, somebody got sick, and it's really serious. Joe Turner's mom. Clay : What? Quinn : Okay. I don't understand. Tell me again what's happening. Clay : Joe Turner's mom is sick. Quinn : Okay, not so good for Joe Turner's mom, but what does that mean? Clay : It means you did it. I mean, well, you haven't yet, but there's hope. Quinn : Awesome. For what? Clay : Okay, Joe Turner is a center for the Sacramento Kings, and he's from a little town near Raleigh. Quinn : Got it. I still don't get it. Clay : Okay, just get in. You will. Quinn : Great. Where are we going? Clay : To a little town outside of Raleigh... And to buy me a new blackberry. Hey, by the way, thanks for this. Quinn : You're welcome. I have no idea what the hell is going on. AT TRIC Nathan : Grubbs. How you doing, man? I want you to meet my son. I mean, my old college roommate, Jamie. Grubbs : How old are you, Jamie? Nathan : 24, right, Jame? Jamie : Yep. I was 23 but I had a birthday. Grubbs : Uh-huh. And, uh, when was this birthday? Jamie : June. Maybe. It changes sometimes. Grubbs : It's good enough for me. Welcome to Tric. Nathan : Jamie, Grubbs has this gift where he can guess what everybody likes to drink. What do you say, Grubbs? Nathan : Whiskey... For your roommate. And for you... Beer. Root beer. Ice cold. Two cherries. Jamie : Awesome. That's totally what I wanted. Grubbs : Cheers. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Skills : Yes, sir. I can be there on Monday. Thank you so much. Okay. Bye. They want me to start on Monday. Lauren : I know. I heard. Well, for what it's worth, I think that you are gonna do great. Skills : You know I love you. Lauren : I love you, too. It's just... You never asked me to go with you, and that kind of hurt. Skills : So you'd have gone with me? 'Cause, baby, if you want to go... Come to Los Angeles with me. Will you? Lauren : No. Skills : Wait, but you just said that... Lauren : No, I know. I can't. But it's nice to be asked. AT THE HOSPITAL Alex : Hi. Julian : Hi. Alex : I can't believe I made it into heaven. Julian : I can't believe you put me through hell. I found you at your place. You called me. Alex : You came. Julian : Of course I came. Alex : That's what she said. Julian : You're lucky, you know that? You could've died, and there's nothing special or romantic about that. You would have just been gone. Alex : You said... Nobody wanted me. Julian : Well, I was wrong. That's what I was coming over to tell you, because... we got the financing for the movie. So you need to get better because we're not gonna make it with anyone else. It's okay. Rest. I'll be here. AT TRIC Jamie : I don't know, Grubbs. It's like one day you're in school, and your world makes sense... friends, classes, recess. The next day... Spain. Bet they don't even have recess in Spain. Miranda : Siesta. They have siesta. Haley packed for her tour yet? Nathan : We're still dealing with Spain. Miranda : What's that? Grubbs : Champagne. Miranda : I didn't order... Grubbs : I know. It's just, uh, kind of a gift I have. Miranda : I don't drink champagne. Grubbs : Right. Uh, I meant, uh, White... White wine. Miranda : Dear God, no. Two fingers of whiskey, neat. Off you go. So, moving to Spain, huh? Jamie : Oh, yeah. I bet it's gonna suck. Miranda : Oh, I don't know about that, what with all the child labor... Oh, and the fact that they eat children as a delicacy. That was a joke. It's a wonderful place, Spain. You'll see. Grubbs : I, um... I didn't know which kind you wanted, so... Could you... I just... I didn't know. Jamie : So what's so great about it? You said Spain was a wonderful place, so what's so great about it? Miranda : Hmm. La Tomatina. AT THE HOSPITAL Clay : Hi, Joe. Clay Evans. I'm an agent with ISC. Joe : We got the flowers. Thanks. Clay : Well, uh, actually I'm not with ISC anymore. They fired me. Joe : Tough break. Clay : Yeah. Those seem to be going around. How's your mom? Joe : She has cancer. Clay : I'm sorry. Joe : They say she has less than a year. I don't know what I'm gonna do. That's my moms, man. She's all I got. You ever lose anyone close to you? Clay : Yeah. Joe : How do you deal with that, man? What do you do? Clay : You remember the good things... And the days that you did have. Joe, would it help you if you could play closer to home next season? IN THE ROOM Millicent : I stole a dress from Brooke... an expensive one. Mouth : Of all the people to steal from, Brooke is the one who trusted you and helped you the most. Millicent : You got to talk to her. Mouth : The truth. I remember looking in that mirror and telling you how special you are. How can you not see that? Millicent : Marvin, when I look at that mirror, I just want to cut a line on it and snort it. That's what I see. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Victoria : We have no further comment at this time. How's she doing? Brooke : She's gonna be okay... as okay as anyone can be after a su1c1de attempt. Victoria : Uh, exhaustion. Brooke : What? Victoria : To the press. They don't know that you fired her, so we say it's exhaustion, they speculate, sell magazines... everybody's happy. Brooke : Except Alex. I don't know, mom. She's a mess. Millie got arrested. I'm fighting with Julian. At least it can't get any worse. Victoria : Oh, I wouldn't say that. Brooke : Where's the red dress? Victoria : That's a good question. And the answer is... Millicent stole it. Brooke : Why would she steal from us? Victoria : You should ask her that. AT THE HOSPITAL Julian : I'm mad at you. You know what happens when you die, Alex? You're dad. That's what happens. ON THE ROAD Clay : I was talking about pens. The last thing I said to Sara before she died. She went to grab a drink, and I was babbling about the pen I was using. And then she was gone. Sometimes I think that we waste our words and we waste our moments and we don't take the time to say the things that are in our hearts when we have the chance. Quinn : Sara knew you loved her. You told me you held her and you danced with her before she died, and... I couldn't think of a better way to say goodbye. AT TV BROADCAST Dan : How do you say goodbye? I know what some of you are thinking. That this is wrong. That it's cruel and insensitive and malicious towards the families and memories of James Edwards and Keith Scott. Well, it is. There's a speech I'm supposed to read, but I'm not going to... because this is my final show. And up until this moment, nobody knew that. So, as I stand before you, live, it's time to tell the truth. About me. About you. About life. So you might want to stick around... because, by the look on my wife's face, there's gonna be a few surprises. After this. ON THE ROAD Clay : Hey, you guys were really close to signing Derek McDaniel, right? Right, I thought so. Well, what if I told you I could get him for you? You know the Bobcats desperately need a center, and you know Joe's situation. I think I've got a way to make it work. IN THE GYMNASIUM Clay : I can't get inside. I know he's here. That's his car. Quinn : You mean the one that says "Bobcats G.M." on the license plate? You're good. Clay : Yeah. You're funny. And anyway, I'm not that good. He won't even take my calls, and without his okay, I can't get inside to see him. Unless... Quinn : You so owe me. Clay : I do. I do owe you. IN A PLACE Nathan : Oh, nice one. Jamie, move around this time. Give us a moving target. Haley : Whoa! What is going on here? Jamie : La tomatina. It's a tomato fight in Spain. Haley : You said you needed tomatoes for spaghetti sauce. What kind of grown men stand around and throw tomatoes at a 7-year-old? Nathan : You want to throw one, don't you? Haley : Yes, I do. Oh! Nathan : It's so on. Haley : Aah! Take cover, Jamie! IN THE GYMNASIUM Clay : Hi, gene. Gene : I thought they fired you. Clay : They did. Gene : Well, you're tenacious. I'll give you that. Impress me. Clay : What if I told you I could get a proven big man that's about to become an all-star to waive his no-trade clause because he wants to come play for the Bobcats? Gene : I'd say you're too late, Clay. Clay : Joe Turner's mom is sick. Gene : Joe Turner. Clay : She has cancer. They say she has a year. Joe wants to play close to home next season. I think he'd make a great long-term deal in order to do that. You guys wanted him during the draft, gene. Gene : Joe Turner's a great player. But you know we signed Derek McDaniel. Clay : And you wanted a center... Which brings me to this. How do you feel about trading Derek McDaniel? Girl : You're next. Go. Clay : Sacramento's already agreed to a sign-and-trade. They finally get McDaniel, you guys get Turner, and... Gene : Hold on. What the hell is that? Clay : Wow. Yeah! Whoo! Sucks to be next! AT TV BROADCAST Dan : We all fail. Some of us have the fortitude to pick ourselves up, and some of us will never have that. Some of us have Grace in our hearts and the ability to show compassion. And some of us don't. I'm a wealthy man, but let's face it... you shouldn't be able to mrder someone in cold blood and profit from it. So as of this moment, I'm giving it all back. All of it. To charities and non-profits... and the people who deserve it... because I don't. Now it's time for me to go. AT TRIC Haley : I'm gonna miss this place. My first big show was right here. I like the bathrooms, too. I'm gonna miss it. Nathan : I'll miss the stadiums. There's nothing like an NBA arena on a game night. Boston. Madison Square garden. I'll miss that. Haley : What are you gonna miss, Jame? Jamie : Grandpa Dan. AT TV BROADCAST Dan : I've talked a lot about forgiveness. As you can imagine, a man like me has to believe in it. But I don't. Forgiveness doesn't exist. There's simply what you do... and how you pay for it. So remember that when you practice whatever evil's in your heart... or when you cheat or steal or lust or hate or gossip or covet or whatever it is that you do or you're planning to do or you have done. There is no forgiveness. There's just what comes next. Take it from someone who's been there, who is there. There's only pain... and guilt... and the misery of knowing who you are and what you did. So don't do it. Just stop... before it's too late. I miss you, big brother. Every second of every day. It's there. And that's all there is. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : You ready to sign some contracts, Jameson? They'll be here soon. Jamie : I guess. Nathan : I know that playing overseas isn't what you hoped for, son. Jamie : I just liked it when you played for the Bobcats. Nathan : Yeah, I did, too. But my agents did the best they could. Jamie : So did Clay, but you fired him. ON THE ROAD Quinn : What are you thinking? Clay : You know how you're afraid of the ocean? And the reason you gave me? Quinn : Immensity... because it's so immense. Clay : Well, I was thinking... the ocean's not so immense. Life is immense. But we bravely go into it every day... Just like you did today. Quinn : You know, I might need an agent if I make the squad. Clay : You're a terrible dancer. Quinn : That's not fair. Clay : It's a turn-on, actually. Quinn : Oh, yeah. Clay : It worked for me for some reason. AT THE HOSPITAL Brooke : This all seems pretty selfish. You go out and walk these halls, and you will see people fighting for another day of life. Another hour. Another minute. I don't know, Alex. This all feels pretty selfish to me. Is she gonna be okay? She's gonna live. It's debatable with you. Millicent : I'm sorry. I said terrible things to Alex and I stole the dress from you and I'm just sorry. Brooke : Why, Millie? What happened to you? Millicent : I was trying to lose weight... And I was trying to look like the other girls, and it was just there in Alex's closet, and... Brooke : Drugs. Cocaïne. Okay. You're not my model anymore. But you're still my friend. Just go get some help. IN A ROOM Mouth : I'm proud of you for getting help, Millie. I wish there was more I could do. Maybe I could stay. Millicent : You can't. I have to do it alone. But we were pretty good together, huh? We were great together. Mouth : It's just... Millicent : Sometimes, people don't make it. I'm gonna miss you. Mouth : Me too. I will always be there for you, sweet girl. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Julian : That's not a very good sh*ting percentage. Hi. Brooke : Hi. Julian : I came here to tell you two things. The first is that I love you and I miss you and I want to be with you. And the second is... I'm gonna make that movie with Alex. Brooke : When did you meet Peyton? Julian : In L.A. You know that. Brooke : No. Specifically, the moment you met her. Julian : She had just broken up with Lucas, and she was crying in the copy room of a record label. Brooke : And when did we start being us? Julian : You needed help with Sam. Brooke : And now Alex. Julian : My mom used to be the most amazing woman. She had this magic inside her. And after a while, she felt unloved or unworthy. I don't know. My dad was always working, and I was just a kid. I was always gone, just doing whatever kids do. No one reminded her how special she was. No one tried to stop her when she took that extra drink or those extra pills. And... Eventually, her fre brned out. And she became the not-so-special person she thought she was all along. Brooke : Julian, you can't fix your mom by fixing Alex. Julian : I know, but maybe I can help her before her fre burns out. And if not... at least I tried. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Ken : Today is a good day. Nathan, you're about to be $7 million wealthier. And we couldn't be happier. Jamie : Uncle Clay. Clay : What's up, Buddy? Oh, man, I missed you. Not as much as your aunt Quinn missed you. Ken : Something we can do for you, Clay? Clay : You? No. But there is something I can do for Nathan. Ken : We don't have time for this. Nathan : Sure we do. Clay : Nate, I never said this to you or Haley, but I was aggressive and arrogant negotiating your deal, and along the way, I forgot that I work for you. And the client comes first. Now, it sounds like my former agency got you a pretty good deal to play overseas, but I always thought of you as an NBA player. And that was always the dream. Right, Jamie? Jamie : Right. 'Cause Spain is caca del toro. Clay : So this morning, I negotiated you a deal to live that dream... in the NBA... with the Sacramento Kings. Ken : Nathan, we have a good deal here. Clay : That's true. You know, $7 million is a good deal to play overseas. Or you could take $15 million from the Kings. Now, the deal does come with a few conditions. Three, actually. One, you have to leave ISC and sign with me. You'll be my second client. Two, your deal comes with a no-trade clause. Gonna need you to waive that... Because if you sign with the Kings... Quinn : they've agreed to trade you and Joe Turner tonight! I'm sorry. I love that part. Clay : They've agreed to trade you and Joe Turner... to the Charlotte Bobcats. Haley : What? Oh, my God! Thank you Jamie : Oh, my... you're gonna be a Bobcat! Oh, I threw my jersey away. Nathan : Clay, how did this happen? Clay : With a lot of help from Quinn... Which brings me to my last condition. I want to be your agent, Nate, but if you're gonna sign with me, you need to know that I plan on falling completely and insanely in love with Quinn. All right. I got to go to work. IN A ROOM Skills : I got to go. Lauren : Yeah. Skills : This doesn't mean that I don't love you. Lauren : It's okay. Skills : 'Cause I do love you, Lauren... And I always will. Lauren : I love you, too. IN THE OFFICE Rachel : So you're telling me there's nothing left. Man : He gave it all away. He did leave you this. Rachel : Divorce papers. Well, that's gonna cost him. Man : Cost him what? There's nothing left. IN THE STREET Dan : Nathan. Nathan : I heard about the show. I'm gonna re-sign with the Bobcats. Well, thank you for helping me get there. Your grandson wants to say goodbye. Jamie : Are you leaving, grandpa Dan? Dan : I have to. Jamie : Why? Dan : I've done a lot of bad things, Jamie. And I'm sorry. Jamie : It's okay. I forgive you. IN FRONT OF PRESS Reporter : Can you guys tell us how this all happened so fast? Nathan : Well... We have a really, really good agent. ON THE SEA Quinn : Hey! What are you doing? Clay : Facing the immensity, I guess. I'll come in. Quinn : No. I'll come out. Did you mean what you said? About falling in love with me? Clay : Insanely in love. Yeah. AT THE HOSPITAL Alex : I'm sorry. Julian : I know. But I need you to understand something. If you ever try this again... I'll never forgive you. I won't miss you. I won't think of you at all. So promise me you won't. Alex : I promise. Julian : Okay. Let's make our movie. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke : I'm sorry. We're closed. Alexander : I know. I'm Alexander Coyne. I guess Victoria didn't tell you. She hired me for your men's line. I'm your new designer.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "07x12 - Some Roads Lead Nowhere"}	foreverdreaming
Millicent : I said terrible things to Alex. Millicent : I stole the dress from you, and I'm just sorry. Brooke : You are not my model any more. Clay : If you gonna sign with me, you need to know that I plan on falling completely and insanely in love with Quinn. Haley : The record company wants me to tour in support of my new album. I'm supposed to leave next week. Brooke : I think you should take another movie. Julian : And what about us? Brooke : I'm saying I need some time. Julian : Alex! Hey! Alex! Julian : Let's make our movie. Alexander : I'm Alexander Coyne. I'm your new designer. One Tree Hill – Season 7 Episode 13 OUTSIDE Nathan : Don't call it a comeback.

Six weeks of junk. Jamie : See, this is the inside of the tour bus. And I had a bunk bed with a pull-down TV. And one night they made me an honorary roadie. Quinn : Whoa! Jamie : Us roadies do all the real work. Haley : Hey, I heard that. Quinn : This is so cool, Jamie. Jamie : So, are you coming to the show tonight? It's the last one. Quinn : You bet I am. Jamie : Cool. You can meet my road dogs. Quinn : See you later, buddy. Haley : I swear he'd rather live on that tour bus. That's for you. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Calliope : Coffee black 2 sugars Victoria : Tastes like three. Uh... Calliope : Calliope. Victoria : God bless you. Um, my daughter is flying back today. We need to make a good impression, like answering the phone. Calliope : Oh, of course, Ms. Davis. Victoria : The phone. Answer it. Calliope : Oh! Yes. Clothes Over Bros. Calliope : Millicent? I'm sorry, she doesn't work here anymore. IN FRONT OF THE COURT Judge : Millicent Huxtable, you are before this court on a drunk-driving charge. Driving drunk is a selfish crime, and this court has no tolerance for it. You are heading down a dangerous path. Now, I understand you were just recently fired. You don't have a job... Victoria : Your Honor... She does have a job. She works for me. AT THE AIRPORT Brooke : You work for me, remember? Alexander : I know, boss. I just... I think the board liked me better. Brooke : They like your track record of making a butt-load of money, and... Julian? Julian : Brooke. Brooke : Hi. Julian : Hi. Alexander : Hi. Alexander Coyne. Julian : Julian Baker. Brooke : It's... it's been... Julian : six weeks. We haven't talked in six weeks, Brooke. Brooke : How did you know I was coming home today? Julian : I'm okay. And I didn't. Brooke : Oh. Then why are you... Alex : Julian! Sorry. The flight was late. I swear that ratty airline blanket gave me cooties. Brooke : Of course. Alex : Hey, Brooke. Brooke : Alex. Bye, Julian. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Quinn : See. I told you. No spiders... nothing. Haley : I'm sorry. I just haven't slept in this bed in weeks. Quinn : Ugh, it happened one time when we got home from sleepaway camp. Haley : One time, eight legs, and a friggin' hundred nightmares later! Ugh, bed, I've missed you. Quinn : I missed my favorite baby sis! Haley : So... the thing in the mail... is that what I think it is? Quinn : Yeah. I'm divorced... officially. Haley : Are you okay? Quinn : I've been divorced for a while now. The paper just makes it official. Haley : Clay probably makes it easier. What's up with you two? Quinn : We're good, you know? I haven't seen him in a couple of weeks. He's been out scouting, but we texted all the time. He comes home today. Haley : And you're totally nervous, because you're doing that "I like a boy" face twitch. Quinn : Face twitch. What... Haley : Like... Quinn : Shut up, Hales! Haley : It's cute, really. Quinn : Fine. Good luck with the black widow I saw on your pillow. Haley : What?! I hate you. ON THE STREET Millicent : I know you don't do something for nothing, so what do you want, Victoria? Victoria : I'm sorry, does that mean "thank you" in coke-whore land? Yes, I know about your little habit... And your sad, little compulsion to take dresses that don't belong to you. Are you still doing the drugs? Millicent : Today? No. Victoria : No or not yet? Millicent : Are we done here? Victoria : I'm sorry to hold you. You must have mirrors to clean. Look, I meant what I said in there. You can come back to Clothes over Bros... As my assistant. Millicent : Why would you help me? Victoria : Because, clearly, you need it. Look, it's a second chance, and believe me, they don't come around that often. The choice is yours. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : Jamie, come on. Jamie : Sorry, dad. Had to get my tour-bus book to show Chuck and the guys. Bet they've never even see. Nathan : Clay! Clay : Hey, Nate. What's up, man? Jamie : Uncle Clay! Clay : What's up, buddy? Jamie : Aunt Quinn, uncle Clay's here! Dude, got to tell you about the tour. Later, okay? I'll be in the car, dad. Nathan : All right, Jamie. So, when'd you get in, man? Clay : Landed this morning. I wanted to deliver the endorsement contracts in person. Nathan : Oh... thanks, man. Clay : Just taking care of my client. Quinn : Clay, you're home! Clay : Hey, there. Nathan : Uh, well, Jamie's waiting. So, I... I better go. I'll see you guys. Clay : Bye, Nate. Quinn : Welcome home. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Alexander : Oh well. I thinking we should celebrate Brooke : Oh. I'm more of a vodka girl, and we have a lot of work to do. Alexander : And we can do it later. Hey, we worked our asses off for six weeks, and the board loved the pitch. It's gonna be a ht. Oh, come on. A smile would be nice. Brooke : One sip. ht me. Alexander : Um, so, what's the deal with you, that Julian guy, and the hot girl? Brooke : Do you like your job? Alexander : Uh, yeah. Brooke : Then don't call skanky Alex "the hot girl," and don't ask me about Julian. Alexander : Okay, sorry, it's just that, you know, we've been working together nonstop for weeks now, and all I know about you is that you like to order Chinese after midnight and you sketch well. You sketch great. Brooke : Really great. Alexander : Come on. my girlfriends all the time. Brooke : I would hardly call your one-night stands " girlfriends." And I don't want to talk. Okay? I want to work. It's what I do when I'm pissed off. Alexander : Yeah, well, especially with guys... hence the whole Clothes Over Bros empire. Look, Brooke, I know it's not my place, but, I mean, your work should be your passion, not a place you hide when your love life sucks. Brooke : Well, my sucky love life has made me a very rich girl... rich enough to afford you. So, how 'bout you help me and earn your keep? Alexander : Whatever you say, boss. Brooke : I like it when you call me "boss." Alexander : Well, I'm glad, boss. You know, that guy's a fool, by the way. That sucky love-life guy. I mean, what kind of idiot treats Brooke Davis poorly? AT THE HOTEL ROOM Alex : You've been so sweet to me. Thanks. Julian : First-class treatment for the star of my movie. I need you rested and ready to sh*t next week. Alex : Aye aye, captain. Millicent : You're just a washed-up actress that's too dumb to realize she's chasing after a boy that has no interest in her. Julian : You okay? I could call room service, get you some food, tea. Alex : No, I'm fine. Just, uh... just taking it all in. Souvenirs from "Stupid land." Julian : I didn't mean to stare. Alex : It's okay. No more talk about me. I don't know if you know this, but I used to be self-centered. I was so "me, me, me, and my fab ass... me." Julian : I never noticed Okay, I'm gonna go, let you settle in. Uh, I'll be on my cell if you need... Alex : Don't worry. I'm good. I promise. Julian : Okay. Bye. Alex : Bye. Hey, Makenna. Where's the party? NEAR THE RIVER COURT Jamie : Life on the road was sweet. It was rock 'n' roll city to city, you know? Chillin' with my road dogs. One time, the bus driver even let me drive the bus. Andre : You told us. Chuck : Three times. You're on a loop, dude. Let's go. Jamie : Hey, where are you going? Chuck : Uh... karate practice. Like we do every Saturday. Our sensei is a time nzi. Alison : I'm glad you're back, Jamie. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Julian : Welcome back. It would have been nice to get a call... E-mail, anything. Brooke : We're taking some time apart. Julian : And I backed off for six weeks, but... We need to talk now. We need to figure some things out together. If this is about you not being able to have kids, we should be talking about that. We should be talking about a lot of things. Brooke : Things like Alex? How is she, by the way? Seems to be on the mend. Julian : You want to talk about Alex? Okay. Brooke : You told me that you want to save her, like you couldn't save your mom. What am I supposed to do with that? Julian : Understand. Brooke : I can't! Julian : Oh, I see. So since you can't understand me working with Alex, you show up in town with some guy like we're playing a game? Brooke : I'm not playing a game. Julian : Really? You show up with a guy named Alexander. "Alex"? Right. No game here. Brooke : My mother hired Alexander. He is consulting on my men's line! That's it! Julian : Okay. I believe you. Imagine that. I believe you. Brooke : Do you think that this has been easy for me? Julian : How would I know, Brooke? You never talk to me about it! Brooke : I've tried... you know what? I can't do this. I have a lot of work to do today. Julian : Right. Of course. Clothes over bros. AT THE RIVER COURT Nathan : What happened to all your friends? Jamie : I don't know. I tried to tell them about my summer, but they shut me down. Nathan : Yeah? What did they do with their summer? Jamie : I don't know. Nathan : Did you ask, or did you do all the talking? Jamie : I guess I was bragging a little bit. Nathan : Yeah. Look, Jamie, you get to do a lot of cool stuff that other kids don't really get to do. NBA games. Rock tours. But the thing is, none of that stuff matters more than your friends. You know all my friends, right? They're pretty much all the same friends that I've had for a really long time. Jamie : Was Skills always bald? Nathan : Yeah. Pretty much. My point is, no matter how much cool stuff I get to do, none of it matters without my friends. All right? AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Haley : Knock, knock! Tickets, anyone? Brooke : Haley! Hey. You could have left these at will call. Haley : I can't leave a hug at will call. Missed you. Brooke : Missed you, too. Haley : So, excessive sketching. What's been going on? Brooke : Nothing. Haley : Brooke. Brooke : It's me and Julian. I... I thought that this time apart was gonna help, and I just feel stuck. Haley : Brooke, Julian loves you, and you love him. That is a good place to be stuck. Brooke : Yeah. But this thing with Alex, Hales... Did you ever doubt Nathan, even for a second, during that whole mess with Renee? Haley : I'm not proud of it, but, yeah, I did. And he kept telling me the whole time that it was nothing. Guess what... in the end, it was nothing. Brooke : Yeah, but you're Nathan and Haley. Haley : Brooke, I know trust has always been hard for you. But Alex isn't Peyton. And Julian is not Lucas. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Quinn : Want to know a secret? Clay : Huh? Quinn : I'm kind of nervous. Clay : Why? Quinn : I don't know. Because... 'cause I haven't seen you, and... You give me butterflies... there. I said it! Clay : I was nervous, too. Quinn : Really? Clay : Yeah. After that whole public declaration about falling insanely in love with you? Quinn : Great line, by the way. Clay : Really? I was afraid that might have freaked you out. Quinn : No. It was amazing... so romantic. And a big, huge moment. Clay : That totally freaked you out. Quinn : A little but only because it had the potential to be true. Or it has the potential to be true. Clay : I tell you what. Let's take things slow. No pressure. No more big public declarations. Let's start small... Like a date. Quinn : I could do a date. Clay : Good. And then after the date, we can fall insanely in love. Quinn : I could do that, too. What are you doing for lunch? AT THE BAR Victoria : Hello, Julian. I hear the chicken's good today. Julian : Brooke and I are taking some time apart. I don't need you pushing another guy on her. Victoria : I'm not pushing anything. Julian : Victoria... Victoria : Julian... I like you. But Brooke deserves to be with someone who has the good sense to want her over some no-talent actress. Well, if that's Alexander, then... Julian ; I'm not interested in Alex. Victoria : I've seen you with her. You may not be interested in her, but you like that she's interested in you. You want to stroke your ego? Don't break my daughter's heart to do it. Julian : Brooke's heart was already broken when I met her. But you know that since you broke it. I've been the one trying to mend it. Victoria : Well, right now, you're not doing a good job. You want Brooke? Stand up and be that hero that you put in all your movies. Fight for her. Julian : I have been. I can't fight for us by myself. Look... Victoria, I'm not the bad guy here. You want to help your daughter? Tell her that. AT THE PARTY Makenna : Hey, bitch. I thought you, like, died or something. Alex : No. That was your career. Makenna : Damn. It was a joke. Chill. Alex : Where's Millie? Makenna : I don't know. Call 1-800-snow nose. Millicent : What are you doing?! Alex : Taking you home. Millicent : Why? Alex : Because nobody did it for me. Let's go. Millicent : You did your good deed. Now you can go. Alex : No, I'm coming in. We need to talk. Millicent : Fine. Come in. Alex : My God, Millie! Millicent : Screw you, Alex. AT CLAY’S HOUSE Quinn : Wow. Olives, cheddar bunnies, and brownie bites. Clay :And root beer. Quinn : I am such a cheap first date. Clay :You know, I haven't been home in a few weeks. There wasn't a whole lot in the kitchen to work with. Quinn : Yeah, with this menu, you're not really gonna get a first-date kiss. Clay :So you kiss on the first date. Quinn : Never. Mnh-mnh. Clay :So you're a tease. Oh, and here I was saving the last brownie bite for you. Quinn : No, you don't! What... Clay : mm, mm, mm. Mmm! Mm-hmm. So good. So tell me... best first-date story. Quinn : Bobby Hobbs. I was 7, and he invited me over to play basketball in his driveway. I was a serious tomboy. When I got there, he slipped me a note that says, "will you be my girlfriend? Yes, no, maybe." Clay :Get her done, Bobby Hobbs! What? Game respects game. So what'd you say? Quinn : I said "yes." And then I bat him in "horse" and made him cry like a little girl. Clay :Remind me never to play ball with you. Quinn : So... Today at the house, you seemed kind of awkward around me in front of Nathan. Clay :Yeah, you know, I think it's best to keep it strictly professional around Nate. Quinn : Yeah, but you told him you plan on falling insanely in love with me. Okay. Doesn't mean I want to flaunt it in his face. It... it just felt weird, I guess. Quinn : Okay. But if we're gonna date, have to date outside of this little world here at the beach house. Clay :I know. You're right. You're beautiful, and you're right. Quinn : Besides, I hear they have way better food in the real world. AT CLOTHES OVR BROS Alexander : Okay, well, I'm gonna go to my hotel, check, get some sleep. Unless you want to grab dinner, maybe review the designs. Brooke : I can't. I have plans. Alexander : Oh, so, she doesn't just work. Well, you're just full of surprises, Ms. Davis. Brooke : Mm. Don't forget, we have a conference call with New York tomorrow morning, 10:00 a.m. Alexander : Got it. Got it, boss. Brooke : Attaboy. Alexander : By the way... I know I'm here for the "clothes" part, but I'm also a good listener... If you ever need to talk about the "bros" part… Victoria. Victoria : Alexander …He seems interested. Brooke : Don't push, mom. It's just work. Victoria : Honey, I don't want you to be with Alexander. I want you to be happy. Do you still love Julian? Brooke : Of course. Victoria : Well, he came to see me today, and I told him to fight for you. But he has been fighting, hasn't he? Look... Don't let this "taking space" be a long way to "goodbye." Brooke : Bitchtoria is getting soft. Victoria : I know. It's a tragedy. Speaking of tragedies, I saw Millicent today, and I offered her a job. Brooke : Mom... Victoria : I know. You're disappointed in her. But I want to help. I feel... responsible. I was the one that called the police the night of the DUI. Brooke : Well, you weren't the one who made Millie get in the driver's seat and drive drunk! Mom, her getting pulled over that night might have saved someone's life! Victoria : Well, maybe this will help Millicent. You're right. Bitchtoria is really getting soft. AT THE HOTEL ROOM Millicent : Why are you still here? Alex : I'm staying until you talk to me. Millicent : Well, God, what do you want to talk about? I went to court today for a DUI, I snort powder up my nose. And I'm by myself. Mouth moved to L.A. Can't blame him, right? He gave me a million chances. Eventually, I guess I ran out. Alex : You never run out of chances as long as you give yourself one. Millicent : Wow. Nice. What "b" movie is that from? Alex : Rehab. The remake. Millicent : Well, good for you. You're happy and better, and I'm the screwed-up one! Brava, bitch! Alex : Be as nasty as you want. Be me. Don't care. I'm staying because I love you, and I'm not giving up on you. Millicent : Stop being nice to me! Stop trying to help me! I said you were washed up and stupid, and then you tried to kll yourself. I'm … I'm sorry. Alex : That was my own fault... giving up because I thought that it would be easier. Is that what you're doing? Giving up? Millicent : I'm not as strong as you are, Alex. Alex : I'm not strong. But I'm... I'm here. And so are you, and we're gonna get you back to your old self. Millicent : I'm not sure I can get back there. Alex : Yes, you can. You just pick a place and you start. AT THE CONCERT Jamie : Whoo! Hey, guys. So, you know her as Haley James Scott, but to me, she's the coolest mom ever. Please welcome my mom! Haley : * The girl in the moon is alone * * with the stars and the spaceships * * the girl in the moon is alone * * and alive with the dust and the air * * nothing grows * * everything is moving * * but only goes in circles * * and no one to talk to is reason enough * * to be blue * ON BACKSTAGE Julian : Thanks. Alex : What are you doing here? Rehab for my rep. It's the hottest ticket in town. Not showing up is more cause for gossip. Julian : Oh. Okay. Well, uh... First day back. You hanging in there? Alex : I'm good. I, uh, I went to go see Millie. You ever feel like you just want to save somebody? Julian : I don't know. Maybe. Alex : Well, you can't. I know. I got an "a" in rehab. Now I just got to apply it. I can Dr. Phil myself until I'm blue in the butt, but I have to get back out there, be around everything that tempts me, and learn to be okay without all the things I want but... can't have. Learn to be okay with everybody staring at these scars. Julian : Well, how about you get used to that one tomorrow? Here. Here, put it on. Let them stare at that. Alex : You don't have to do this. Julian : No, it's research for our movie. Your... your character loves to wear men's watches at concerts. Alex : No, she doesn't. Julian : Tonight she does. Haley : * The girl in the moon with her dreams* * has a steel-melting smile * * but the girl with the blues in the moon hasn't smiled in a long * * while blue, blue, blue * AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Victoria : Can I help you? Or are you gonna help yourself again? Millicent : Is the job still open? Victoria : I don't like to be made a fool of. Millicent : I know. Victoria : Very well. Then you can begin tonight. I don't know what "catastrophe" did with your filing system, but it's a mess. Millicent : Calliope is amazing. Victoria : She's no Millicent. Millicent : Thank you, Victoria. Victoria : Get to work. Haley : Blue, blue, blue OUTSIDE Quinn : You know, no matter how many times I see my sister, I am still blown away. Clay : Yeah, you James girls are pretty amazing. Quinn : Look at you, Mr. Smooth. Clay : Hey, I'm competing with the infamous Bobby Hobbs. Whatever happened to him, anyway? Quinn : My infamous sister Taylor. Long story. Definite fourth-date material. Nathan : Hey, Quinn. Clay. Clay : What's up, Nate? Nathan : Clay, can I talk to you for a sec? Clay : Sure. Yeah, can you give us a minute? Nathan : No problem. Clay : Is everything all right? Nathan : Yeah, everything's fine. I just wanted to talk to my friend. How was your trip, man? It's good. It's good. Nathan : Good. All right, look, Clay... I stayed with you because you are a good agent and you're a good friend. And I got the agent, but, uh, I miss my friend. Okay? Clay : Okay. Nathan : Oh, and stop being weird around Quinn in front of me. It's awkward. Clay : Yeah, I'm sorry about that, man. ON BACKSTAGE Jamie : Say "cheese," aunt Quinn. Quinn : Jame! Saw you rocking out in the crowd earlier. Nice! Jamie : Yeah. I got moves. Quinn : It runs in the family. Jamie : Really? Mama said you can't dance. Quinn : That's so not fair! So you're sad it's the last show? Jamie : No. I mean, it was fun for the summer. Now that I'm home, I miss it... I guess. My friends. My real life. I forgot how awesome it is. It feels so good to be home! Quinn : Yeah. It's good to have a home. Jamie : Yeah. It is. To the stage! Haley : * Many times I've tried to tell you * * many times I've cried alone * * always I'm surprised how well * * you cut my feelings to the bone * * don't want to leave you really * * I've invested too much time * * to give you up that easy * * to the doubts that complicate your mind * * we belong to the light, we belong to the thunder * * we belong to the sound of the words * * we've both fallen under * * whatever we deny or embrace... * AT THE CONCERT Brooke : Julian. Julian : Hi. Alex : Hey, here you go. Brooke : And Alex. Alex : You guys should talk. I'll... go. Brooke : All day long I've been trying to figure out how to get past the you-and-Alex thing, and here you are... Together. You are always together. Julian : Brooke, I bumped into her tonight. Brooke : Of course. Julian : It's always about Alex! Just stop it, Brooke! I will as soon as you stop acting like it's in my head! Brooke : It's not! Julian : Yes, it is! Brooke : I saw you with her in the hospital, sitting by her bed, holding her hand. That was not in my head! Julian : She tried to kll herself. I'm her friend. Brooke : It was more than that. I was there! Julian : How dare you? I am here in tree hill for you, and it's not good enough. You just keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, waiting for this not to work. Brooke : I don't want to fight. I just wanted to talk. Julian : Yet here we are fighting. And I'm getting really tired of fighting. You know, maybe you're right. Maybe I'm the guy who needs to save people. That's my issue. But I'm also the guy who loves you. I'm the guy you pushed away when you found out you couldn't have kids. I'm the guy you can't trust no matter how much I tell you to. And that's your issue, Brooke. I'm never gonna be able to make that stop for you. Brooke : So what are you saying? Julian : I'm saying... maybe right now, you need to work on you, and I need to work on me. You've got your new line, and... I'm making a movie... with Alex. I should concentrate on that. Goodbye, Brooke. Haley : I hear your voice inside me * * still you say, we belong to the light * * we belong to the thunder * * we belong to the sound of the words * * we've both fallen under * * whatever we deny or embrace, for worse or for better * * we belong * Quinn : Hey! How'd it go with Nate? Clay : Fine. Quinn : Told you. Clay : He did tell me to be good to you, but I think I can handle that. Quinn : You do? 'Cause I can be a handful, you know. And I can't dance. And I get things wrong all the time. Clay : Like? Quinn : Like kissing on the first date. I was wrong. Very wrong. Definitely wrong. ON BACKSTAGE Jamie : Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Haley : High five! Jamie : You were so good, mom! Haley : Thanks, honey! Ooh! Alison : Jamie! Chuck : Yo, you klled it, Ms. Scott! Haley : Yo, thanks, Chuck! Jamie : Hey, what are you guys doing here? Nathan : You wanted to get your friends backstage passes. Remember, Jame? Jamie : Oh, yeah. Chuck : Dude, thanks for the hook-up. Andre : You were right, Jamie. It's mad cool back here! Jamie : Yeah, especially over there. Andre : Sweet! Free food! Chuck : Sweet! Hot chicks! Jamie : Let me show you the bus. It's out back. Thanks, dad. I'm glad to be home. Nathan : All right, buddy. Ohh. Hey, you. Haley : Oh, it is good to be home! Oh, I can't wait to get in my own bed and sleep in tomorrow with the sweetest husband in the whole world. Nathan : Well, that sounds good, but you have an encore to do first. You better get out there. Haley : Okay. Okay. Nathan : Have fun. Haley : Everybody else knows how this goes* AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Victoria : We'll be seeing you tomorrow... I hope. Millicent : See you tomorrow. Haley : * Everybody's got my number now * * maybe I could find a way out * * I've been running too long on this shift * * and I've been keeping on tabs on myself * * and now I'm cutting in close on my limit * ON THE CONCERT Nathan : Taylor. Taylor : Don't just stand there like we're not family. Surprised to see me, huh? Nathan : Uh, yeah, Haley didn't say you were coming. Taylor : 'Cause Hales didn't know. Nathan : Yeah, she definitely would have warned me about you. Taylor : Why? Still dreaming about me, there, Nate? They say you never forget your first. Nathan : Taylor... Taylor : So, is there room in that big superstar house for me and my boy? Unless you can think of somebody else who wants to sneak into my room. No? Okay. See you there, Nate. Haley : * think you can find me * * 'cause everybody else gave up a while ago * * I'm looking out, I'm looking out at gray skies * * I'm looking out, I'm looking out a hole * * you're never gonna be... * AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Quinn : See, aren't you glad we already did the whole first-date-kiss thing? 'Cause now we don't have to be nervous. Clay : Yeah... I'm still kind of nervous. See, I have this question. Quinn : "Will you be my girlfriend? Yes. No. Maybe." Let me think. Maybe. Yes. Clay : I'll see you tomorrow. Quinn : You better. Haley : * You're never gonna see until you see yourself * Quinn : Thanks for walking me to the door. AT THE HOTEL’S HALL Julian : Actually, I'm just staying down the hall till I find a place. So... Good night. Alex : Julian... how did we get the funding for the movie? Julian : We found a small production company. Alex : Oh. It's just kind of funny, don't you think? Right when I needed a break, it came. Julian : My father and I put up the money. Alex : Why would you do that? Julian : Because I believe in you. See you tomorrow. Alex : See you tomorrow. Haley : * You're never gonna be anybody else * * you're never gonna see until you see yourself * * so, come on, come on * * see how it goes * * come on, come on, take a deep breath * * and don't let go * AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Quinn : David. David : Quinn. Hey. Quinn : Uh... hey, David. Well, come in! Please. Haley : Yes, of course. Come in. Hey. It's good to see you. David : Good to see you. Haley : Oh, hey, Tay. You remember David. He's Quinny's ex-husband. Taylor : Oh, "ex-husband" is so yesterday. I prefer to call him my new boyfriend. So, which room's ours? ALEXANDER’S HOTEL ROOM Brooke : Hey. Alexander : Hey, Brooke. Brooke : Still want to have that dinner?	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "07x13 - Weeks Go by Like Days"}	foreverdreaming
Previously on One Tree Hill... Judge : You are heading down a dangerous pass. You don't have a job. Victoria : Your honor... She does have a job. She works for me. Alex : How did we get the funding for the movie? Julian : My father and I put up the money, because I believe in you. Brooke : All day long I've been trying to figure out how to get past the you-and-Alex thing. Julian : Maybe right now, you need to work on you, and I need to work on me. Goodbye, Brooke. Haley : Hey, Tay. You remember Quinn’s ex boyfriend. Taylor : I prefer to call him my new boyfriend. One Tree Hill – Season 7 Episode 14 AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : Haley, stop! Haley : Sorry. Just trying to wake Taylor and David. Nathan : I'm sure you did, along with the rest of the neighborhood. How long have you been up? Haley : Since I dreamt that my sister was screwing my other sister's husband. Ex-husband. Nathan : Did you dream that too that's so weird? Did I kll them in yours? Haley : No, actually, you played it cool. Nathan : Well, then you really were dreaming, because there's no way to play this cool. This is the most uncool thing Taylor's ever done. Taylor : Morning, kids. Haley : Good morning, slut. You can get your things and go now. Taylor : What's wrong? Are you still mad about me and David? That's so last night. Haley : You like that outfit enough to get buried in, or you want to go put something on? Taylor : Why? It's nothing he hasn't seen before. But if you insist. Haley : Come... are you gonna say something? Nathan : "I love you"? Jamie : Good morning! Nathan : Oh, hey, I almost forgot. We're late for the video-game sht. Better get going. Have a good day, Hales. Love you. Jamie : Bye, mom. AT LUCAS’S HOUSE Paul : This house is perfect for the movie. How were you able to get it for free? Julian : What can I say? I'm a great producer. No, it's Lucas' house. He said we could use it. Paul : How's rehearsal going with Alex Dupré? I see she and Peter are really each other harms. Julian : I think it's important for a director and actor to establish boundaries early on. Paul : I know he's a little high-maintenance, but the guy's talented. Besides, the clock was ticking, and we didn't have much of a budget. Julian : Alex. Alex Dupré, this is my father, Paul Norris. Alex : It's nice to finally meet you, Paul. Paul : Nice to meet you, too, Alex. Alex : I've seen you in the trades. Paul : I've seen you in the tabloids. Alex : That was the old me. Paul : Good... I shouldn't have to tell you how important this film is to both Julian and myself. Julian : You don't have to worry about her, dad. She's here to work. Alex : Yep. I'm a professional. Paul : You're certainly dressed like one. Alex : Oh, thank you. I picked it out myself since we don't have a wardrobe person. Director : Could we get to work, please? Alex : Bye. Julian : I haven't hired a costume designer yet. Paul : Why not? Julian : The person I wanted didn't work out. AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Victoria : Dare I ask what's in the box? You're staring at it like someone sent you a severed head. Brooke : It's Julian's stuff. He broke up with me last night. Victoria : Oh, honey, I'm sorry, dear. A head would have been an improvement. Brooke : I want to take it to him, but I just don't think I can see him right now. And I really don't want to see Alex. Victoria : Even if her head were severed? Brooke : Stop talking about severed heads! Victoria : Okay, how about I take care of the box? Okay? I mean, we run a multimillion-dollar company. I'm sure we can afford a courier. There's no need for unnecessary drama. Before I forget, Millicent is working with us again. Shall be in this morning. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Mouth : So much for our security deposit. Millicent : Sorry about the mess. I'll clean it when I get back from work. Mouth : I'm not worried about the place. I'm worried about you. Are you okay? Millicent : Not really, but I'm trying. Mouth : Have you thought about going back to rehab? Millicent : Yeah, I've thought about it. Mouth : Well, let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Millicent : How long are you staying? Mouth : I'm not sure. Maybe... a day or two? Millicent : But you'll be here when I get home? Mouth : Yeah. Millicent : That helps. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Come on. You cannot expect me to honestly believe that this... thing between the two of you is anything more than some sick joke. Taylor : What's so sick about it? David's a great guy. Quinn couldn't see it. I can. Can't you just be happy for us? Haley : You know what would make me happy, is throwing you out a window. But I'm gonna settle for you using the front door. Taylor : That's no way to treat your sister and possible two-time brother-in-law. David : Good morning, Haley. Haley : "Good morning." Yeah, don't "morning" me, David. Taylor : You will have to forgive my sister. She's cranky this morning. Hopefully, she'll be in a better mood tonight. David and I are cooking dinner for everyone tonight. Haley : No, that's not happening! You can't... That's not happening... not tonight, not ever. Taylor : Why not? Quinn already agreed to it. I'll see you tonight. Haley : David! How can you do this to Quinn? David : It's no worse than what she did to me. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Quinn : I told them we slept together. Clay : What? So, now you want me to go to dinner with your ex, who probably wants to kll me, and your sister, who's obviously insane? Quinn : Yeah, it's okay. You don't have to come if you don't want to. Clay : I just... I don't get it. I know why David wants to hurt you, but why would your own sister go along with it? Quinn : You have to know Taylor. When we were kids, she tried stealing my boyfriends. And now she's after my ex-husband. So, I guess she never grew up. Clay : And that doesn't bother you? Quinn : A little, but not nearly as much as that does. AT VIDEO GAME sh*t Clay : See, how cool is your dad? I mean, not now, of course, but he is gonna look great in this new video game. Jamie : When do I get to play? Clay : Well, the game won't be ready for a month, but we shod be able to get you a prototype to play tonight. You look good covered in balls. Nathan : Now I know how Taylor feels. Clay : Hey, speaking of, I, uh... Take it you heard about this dinner tonight? Nathan : Yes. I got a very angry text message from my wife. You coming? Clay : No, I, uh, think I have some work to catch up on. Nathan : Quinn's okay with that? I mean, if Haley's this pissed, I can't imagine how upset Quinn must be. Clay : It's strange, but she seems okay. She was more upset by Kylie showing up for a swim in my pool this morning. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Who is Kylie?! Quinn : Some chick who took a whore bath in Clay's pool this morning. Haley : My God, Quinn, that's awful. Must just make you want to rip David's head off and punch Taylor right in her fat face. Quinn : You shouldn't let them get to you. Haley : How are they not getting to you? Quinn : David has a right to be upset with me, and Taylor's always been a bitch. So what do you want me to do? Haley : Uh, I don't know, say no when they invite you to dinner. Quinn : Clay makes me happy, Haley! Why shouldn't David be happy? I mean, I can't imagine that Taylor is the one for him, but if she is, I'll deal with it. Haley : Just like that? Quinn : If they want to throw their relationship in my face, I have to let them know it doesn't bother me, right? Haley : No! Not right! And let me tell you something. If Nathan and I got divorced and he and Taylor showed up playing kissy-face, not only would I never see them again, nobody else would, either. Quinn : So you're saying I should kll them. I mean, it's a little extreme, don't you think? Haley : No, you're right. Having dinner with them is so much more sane. See you tonight. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Alexander : How you holding up today? Still upset, I see. "Clothes over Psychos" coming this fall to prisons everywhere. Millicent : Hey, Brooke. Alexander : Alexander Coyne. Millicent : Millicent Huxtable. Nice to meet you. Do you need help with anything? Brooke : Just ask Victoria... 'cause you work for her. Alexander : Wow. You're a mean boss. You're like an evil Disney character who feeds her servants porridge and pays them in buttons. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Mouth : Lauren. Hi. What are you doing here? Lauren : Hey, I just talked to Antwon. He said you were back in town. Oh, looks like you had one hell of a party. I'm sorry I missed it. Mouth : Yeah, I missed it, too. But, uh, at least I get to clean it. Lauren : Do you want some help? Come on, we can pretend we're CSI and re-create what happened. Mouth : I don't think I want to know. Lauren : Oh, come on. It'll be fun. First one who finds the couch wins? Mouth : All right AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Jamie : Can Chuck come over and play the new game tonight? Nathan : Yeah, of course. You two are friends again? Jamie : Yeah. We homies. Nathan : See? Sometimes friends, they fight, they get mad at each other, but then they make up. Jamie : Like mom, aunt Quinn, and aunt Taylor? Nathan : Exactly. They're mad at each other now, but eventually it'll blow over… Hey, what's going on? Haley : Well, let's see Taylor try and cook dinner with no pots and pans. Nathan : You and Chuck play upstairs tonight. AT THE OFFICE Director : I can't find Alex. Have you seen her? Julian : Have you checked your hand? It's usually on her ass. What do you need her for, anyway? Director : I want to put my hand on her ass. Julian : Why don't you just leave her alone and let her act? Director : What's the point of being in a movie with Alex Dupré if I don't get to sleep with her? Julian : The point is that she's a great actress who wrote an amazing script. Director : Oh, sure, but it doesn't hurt that she's gone down more times than the sun. If you see her, tell her I'm in my trailer. Alexander : Brooke thought you might want your stuff back. Sorry, man. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Julian : I don't appreciate you sending your boy toy to deliver my stuff. Brooke : W... well, I don't appreciate the dumping you delivered to me last night, so I guess we're even. Julian : Oh, come on, Brooke. You broke up with me when you left. I just had the nerve to call it what it was. And I didn't need to send an Alex to do it for me. Brooke : I just needed some space! Julian : Well, you got it. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : Hey, there. Quinn : Oh. It's me, by the way... Quinn. Just in case you were wondering. I mean, you never know who's gonna stop by for a swim, right? Clay : I'm sorry about this morning, Quinn. I didn't know she was coming over, and it won't happen again. Quinn : Just her or all the others, too? Clay : I don't know who you think I am. Quinn : I know exactly who you are. Clay : Maybe who I used to be. Quinn : It's okay. It's only been a couple of months. I can't expect y to be a different person. Clay : No. But you can expect me to be the type of guy that you can count on. I'm coming with you tonight. Quinn : Really? Clay : Yeah. Quinn : Wow, I didn't see that one coming. Clay : You know what else you didn't see coming? Quinn : No, no. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : What are you doing? Haley : I'm spoiling my appetite. Nathan : Haley, if you're so against this dinner, then why did you agree to it? It's a bad idea. Haley : Of course it's a bad idea. It's a terrible idea. But if Quinn and Taylor say I should be fine, I'm gonna be fine. Nathan : You seem fine. Haley : Oh, I am. I'm gonna sit at dinner like a perfect little angel. And I'm gonna say, "oh, that's so nice, Taylor." "Um, Taylor, that's a really funny story." "Would you please pass the potatoes, Taylor?" Only there won't be any potatoes… Hey, Brooke! S'up? Brooke : Hi. I was just feeling a little lost, so I thought I'd come see the most sab couple I know. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Lauren : The suspect started here, but he couldn't hold his liquor, so he stashed the wounded soldier and made a mad dash for the bathroom. Mouth : How would you know that? Lauren : Splatter pattern. Looks like he projectile from over here. Mouth : That is really gross. Lauren : Yeah. You can clean that up. So, are you here for good, or is this just a visit? Mouth : Uh, I'm not sure. I really only left 'cause Millie and I were having problems. I thought it would do me some good. You know, out of sight, out of mind. Lauren : Did it work? Mouth : No. She was just out of sight. Lauren : I'll clean the vomit. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Brooke : That makes me sick! Taylor is awful! I thought Alex was a bitch. Haley : Ye, I know, right? And don't worry about Alex. Julian obviously still loves you. Brooke, he stayed in Tree Hill to make his movie. Brooke : Yeah, well, he made it very clear today that he does not want to see me anymore. Haley : He is probably just upset. You guys are way too good together not to make it. Just give it some time. Brooke : Okay. Fine. Don't worry about this dinner tonight. You know, it's gonna be over before you know it. Haley : Actually, Nathan's betting we don't make it through dinner. He said he thinks I'm gonna attck Taylor before the salad is served. Brooke : Well, can you blame him? You've been arrested more times than anyone I know, "Jailey." Haley : I hate my name. Brooke : Let the wild rumpus start. Thanks, Hales. You'll be okay. Enjoy your last supper, Judas. AT LUCAS’S HOUSE Director : If you're going to act like a prn star, the least you could do is take your bloody clothes off! Julian : Oh, oh, hold on. Okay, Alex, come here. Director : We're in the middle of rehearsal here. Julian : Are you okay? Alex : No. He keeps hitting on me. And when I wouldn't say hello to his "little friend," he got mad and said I wasn't right for the part. I think he's trying to make me quit. Julian : Okay, I'll take care of it. Just do your best. Could you do me a favor, Peter? Director : I'm not big on favors. Julian : Okay, then, I'll make it an order. Take it easy on Alex. Maybe you could give her some direction instead of just yelling at her. Director : Whatever you say, boss. Let's take it from the top. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : Chuck's here, buddy. Chuck : So, where's this brand-new game that's not even out yet? Jamie : Right here. It's really cool. Chuck : We'll see. I get to be your dad. Nathan : Nice to have you back, Chuck. Chuck : Whatever. Nathan : You're not using the good silverware? Haley : Good silverware is for good people. They're lucky I'm not making them eat off the floor. Nathan : Are you gonna be civil tonight? Just try, Haley, please. It's only one night. Look, we've weathered Dan's crap for years. This should be easy. Taylor : Got it! You must be Quinn's boyfriend. Clay : And you must be her crazy sister. AT LUCAS’S HOUSE Alex : I'm not crazy. I love him. He's all I ever dream about, and I dot care if anybody else gets that. So I'm going back to him. Director : That's awful! Just awful! Can't you do anything right? Obviously not. Cut deeper next time. How's that for direction? Julian : When he comes to, tell him he's fired. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Okay, let's get this over with. Taylor : Can we say grace first? Haley : You're religious now? Taylor : Well, I have been calling out God's name a lot lately. Thank you, God, for my wonderful family, for the food that we're about to receive... And for David. His chest... strong arms... home theater... David : Oh, she does love the home theater. Nathan : Amen. Quinn : Amen. David : Amen! Clay : Amen. Taylor : Amen! AT LUCAS’S HOUSE Alex : How's your hand? Julian : Better than his head. Alex : Thanks for sticking up for me. You've had to do that a lot lately. I'm pretty sure nobody thinks I can do this movie. Julian : Since when do you give a crap about what anybody else thinks? Alex : It's just... what if I screw up? Julian : You won't. Have some faith in yourself. I do. Alex : I won't let you down. Julian : I know. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Taylor : What was I saying? Haley : You said, "watch this." Quinn : So, uh, I think we're all curious. How exactly did you two get together? Taylor : Glad you asked. It was just another boring d at the gym when who should accidentally walk into my stripper aerobics class? Clay : David. Taylor : Ooh! Quinny's got herself a smart one. Yes. David. He was so embarrassed to leave, he stayed the entire class. David : And it was quite a workout. Taylor : I gave him a private session later that night. And the rest, as they say, is sex. Quinn : I'm really happy you two found each other. Haley : Okay, if nobody else is gonna say it, then I will. Nathan : Please don't, Haley. Haley : Taylor, at any point, did it occur to you, "hooking up with my sister's ex-husband... That might be kind of insensitive...and whorish"?! Taylor : Funny, no. Haley : David, you and Quinn just got divorced. How can you sleep with someone else so soon? Especially our sister! David : Oh, you want to talk about insensitive and horish? Quinn had sex with this bozo when we were still married. Haley : What? Quinn : Actually, uh... we've never had sex. I just told you that we did. Clay : Yes, Nate, I would love another beer. Nathan : Good idea. Taylor : Boy, can you clear a room. Quinn : David. David : How could you lie to me about something like that? Quinn : Because you weren't letting go! Okay, I needed you to move on, and I thought the only way you'd do it is if you hated me. David : Well, mission accomplished. I do hate you. Quinn : David, listen to me. David : You know what? And say what you want about Taylor. At least she's been honest with me. Clay : I thought contract negotiations were tense? It is insane in that room. And David's bigger than I remember. Nathan : So you really haven't slept with her? Clay : Shut up, man. I like her. Nathan : I can tell. You came here instead of hiding out somewhere. Clay : Yeah, I thought I owed her that much, especially after the whole Kylie thing. Hey, I don't suppose that we could just hide in here for a while and not go back? Nathan : Probably not. Anyway, you're the one that added "falling insanely in love with Quinn" to my contract. Probably should have added sex to that, too, huh? AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke : Why did you send Alexander to drop off Julian's stuff? He's really upset! What happened "no need for unnecessary drama"? Victoria : Yeah, well, that drama was very necessary, dear. I needed to show you that he still had feelings for you. Whatever you do with that information is up to you. Brooke : Mother! Victoria : All right, enough said. I'll keep out of it. Now, on to other business. Millicent... you're shutting her out. Brooke : What do you care? Victoria : Well, I've never been a fan of Millicent's, but she was always there for you. She believed in you when your own mother didn't. And now she needs someone to believe in her. More important, she needs a friend. Brooke : No, she doesn't. She has you. Victoria : I am not the friend type. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Taylor : Now I know who Clay reminds me of. Who was that guy that you dated freshman year? Quinn : Dan Thomson? Taylor : Whatever happened to him? Quinn : You told him you'd sleep with him if he broke up with me so he did... and then you did. Taylor : That's right. I'm the sister who actually sleeps with guys. Clay : Do they give you a medal for that or just a sht? Haley : We have cupcakes for dessert, in case anybody wants them. I bought them for Jamie, but Taylor doesn't seem to have a problem taking other people's stuff. Taylor : I wish I could be like you, Haley. Just eat whatever I want and get fat. Haley : Your lip is about to get fat! Nathan : All right, that's enough. I can't take this anymore. If anybody needs me, I'll be upstairs with the kids, having a more mature conversation. Chuck : Your dad sucks! Nathan : Excuse me? Jamie : Chuck says your character isn't that good. Chuck : I said he sucks. And he hasn't even made one basket yet. Nathan : Well, I'm sure my character is fine. Why am I crying? Chuck : Because you got dunked on three times, and then a fan threw a soda at you. Jamie : I thought you were supposed to be good. Nathan : I was. I am. Give me this. AT THE OFFICE Paul : I heard you fired Peter. Julian : Yeah, I haven't had a great day. Paul : I also heard you knocked him out. Julian : His day was worse. Paul : You seem to be moving backwards as a producer. We start filming in a week. You have no costume designer. You knocked out my director. In fact, all you do have is an unreliable, uninsurable actress. We've both invested a lot of money in this movie. Find a way to fix it. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Chuck : Hey, why couldn't I do that? Nathan : I guess only a Scott can play a Scott. Jamie : Come on come on, come on! Nathan : Boom! Game! Eat that, Chuck! Who sucks now, huh? Jamie : You do. Haley : When you're, um, done with your "mature conversation," can I talk to you for a second? Will you talk to David? Will you help him realize that what he's doing is wrong? Please, please. Nathan : Okay, yes. I'll be right down. Haley : Okay Nathan : I'll be down in a sec. All right, guys. I got to head back down. Jamie : Everyone still fighting? Nathan : Afraid so. Chuck : Dude, your family's lame. Clay : Hey, you. Quinn : I shouldn't have lied to David. Clay : Quinn, don't bat yourself up. Look, I think everyone has done things in their past that they regret. I know I have... He said about Kylie. Quinn : Yeah, it just makes it hard when our pasts are swimming in our pools and cooking us dinner. Clay : I know. David : What's up? What? What's so funny? Nathan : Just tell me you know how messed up this is. David : I was just trying to show Quinn... Yes, it's messed up. Nathan : Okay. That's all I wanted to hear. David : So you're not mad? Nathan : Well, I can't say I totally support what you're doing, but, um, I also didn't like the way Quinn handled things, so... David : Thanks. Clay : But I got to say that you are handling this way better than I would have. Quinn : It helps that you're here with me. Thank you. Clay : I'm happy to be here. But I'm also happy to leave. I'm just saying... Quinn : Yeah. Clay : Anytime. Nathan : So, are you really into Taylor, or was this all just to get back at Quinn? David : We're actually having fun together. She's the first person that's made me smile in... Longer than I can remember. Nathan : Well...that's good. Just make sure you like her for the right reasons and not because she reminds you of her sister. David : So we're cool? Nathan : Yeah. But if Haley asks, I yelled at you, and you're sorry. David : I am. Nathan : Okay. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Mouth : The place looks great. Thank you. Lauren : Yeah, just don't ever look under the third cushion. There are bad things under there! How lame is it that I actually had fun cleaning? Can you tell how starved for company I've been? Mouth : I know how you feel. I don't know anyone in L.A. besides Skills, and I barely see him 'cause he's so busy. Lauren : Yeah. Being alone sucks. Mouth : Skills misses you. You know that, right? Lauren : I know. It's just... Mouth : Being alone sucks. Lauren : Yeah. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Julian : Sorry about this morning. Brooke : I'm sorry, too. I should have brought the box to you myself. But I just thought it would be too hard to see you. Julian : That makes what I want to ask difficult. The movie sht in a week, and we don't have a costume designer. And the reason we don't is because I was planning on asking you when you got back... Which is why I'm asking you now. Brooke : We just broke up. Julian : I know. Good timing, huh? But you're the only one I trust, and I need the best for this movie. Brooke : I would love to help you, but I don't know if I can do that. Julian : Just think about it. Okay? You... you don't even have to look at me if you don't want to. Brooke : Okay, I'll... think about it. Julian : Thanks. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE David : Haley. I'm sorry. We were wrong to come here. Haley : Thank you. That means a lot, David. Taylor : Don't apologize. We haven't done anything wrong. Quinn : You know, maybe David hasn't, but you have been a problem your whole life, Taylor. When Haley got her first period, you tried to convince her that she was dying! You told crazy uncle Frank that I... That I had a crush on him? Oh, in high school, you had sex in mom's car and then told her it was me. Taylor : Well, to be fair, it was with your ex-boyfriend. Haley : And now you're sleeping with David! Taylor : Why are you getting so mad at me about going after Quinn's leftovers? You went after mine. Haley : I want you to admit that what you're doing is wrong! Taylor : No! Say you're happy for me! Haley : Taylor, I'm so sick of you're such a bitch to everyone your whole life! Taylor : Haley! Haley : Taylor! Taylor : Give us your blessing, Haley! Haley : Dude, I take it back. Chuck : Your family's cool! Jamie : I got five bucks on my mom. Chuck : Oh, yeah! Haley : You lucky, if Nathan hadn't stopped the fight, I'd have one less Christmas card to send. Taylor : Oh, no. You mean I wouldn't get another Christmas card if Jamie dressed hasn't out whatever would I do? Quinn : Enough already! Just stop! Just stop, please! Did you get what you wanted? Are you satisfied now? Taylor : Nightly. Quinn : Just promise me you won't hurt David. Taylor : Like you did? Quinn : Yeah. He's been through enough. He doesn't need you pretending to like him just to get back at me. Taylor : Who's pretending? I do like him. Quinn : Fine. Taylor : Fine. Haley : "Fine." "Fine." No. No! It's not fine! It's not fine! What is wrong with you two?! Taylor : I'm happy. Quinn's happy. What do you want, Haley? Haley : I want you to admit that you're a bitch! Quinn : That's fair. Taylor : Fine. I'm a bitch. Haley : Fine. Clay : What's going on? Nathan : I don't know, but they're not trying to kll each other anymore, so... Clay : That's good, right? If those three can work through their differences, then maybe... David : Not a chance. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke : Millie. You holding up okay? Millicent : I'm getting there. Marvin came back last night. Brooke : That's great. It must be hard to see him after everything that's happened. Millicent : It is. But it was harder not seeing him. Brooke : Millie? Can you help me with this? Millicent : Sure. Thanks. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Quinn : You leaving? David : I never should have come. Quinn : I'm sorry I lied to you. I did it 'cause I wanted you to be happy. Are you happy? David : I'm getting there. You happy? Quinn : I am. David. This is yours. Just maybe don't give it to Taylor. I'm sorry. David : It's okay. I'll be okay. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Millicent : You didn't have to do all this. Mouth : You shouldn't be living this way. Millicent : So, are you leaving soon? Mouth : No, I think I'm gonna stay for a while. Millicent : Really? Why? Mouth : Because you shouldn't be alone. AT THE STUDIO Brooke : You really think I'm the best. Julian : Of course you are. Brooke : So, let me get this straight. I'm better than everybody else on the planet, who could possibly do this job? Julian : That's right. Brooke : Well, I guess if I am the best and you need the best... Then I have to do it. It wouldn't be fair otherwise. When do I start? Julian : As soon as I find a director. Brooke : You don't have a director? Did you hire anyone for this movie? Julian : The last guy didn't work out. Brooke : What a shame. Too bad you don't know anyone who's... always wanted to direct... who knows the movie really well. I'm thinking someone whose name rhymes with "Shmulian"? You know anyone like that? Julian : I don't think my dad would go for that. You know, I've never directed before. Brooke : Make him go for it. Tell him you hired the best costume designer on the planet, and she'll only work with you if you direct. Because, PS., that's now the deal. Have your people call my people. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Quinn : Another blast from your past? Clay : Ah, I had the locks changed today. Quinn : Thanks for sticking with me through dinner. I know it was a pretty miserable time. Clay : I kind of actually enjoyed it. Man : Keys to your house, sir. Clay : Thank you very much. Now you will be the only person with a key to my house. You and the maid, that is. Quinn : You didn't have to do this. Clay : Yeah, I know, but I wanted to do something to show you how important you are to me. I know I've said it, but this way, you have proof in case you ever forget. I was just lucky I was able to find a locksmith on such short notice. Quinn : You're about to get even luckier. Clay : Finally. Can we tell everyone at the next dinner? Quinn : Come on. AT THE OFFICE Paul : Thank you, Jessica. I made a list of directors who won't mind working with a suicidal actress and a psychotic producer for minimal pay. Julian : I want to direct. I know this movie, I know how to deal with Alex, and I got you to keep me on track. What do you think? Paul : You were at the top of the list. We have less than a week before we roll. Better get to work. Julian : Yes, sir. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : I cannot wait to get into bed and forget about this awful, awful day. Nathan : Why? It was a good day. Haley : What was good about it? Nathan : Well, of all the crazy drama today, none of it was ours. There were no psycho women stalking me or my family. There were no contract problems. There was no Dan. I'd take a million days like today. Haley : Yeah, I guess you're right. It was a good day… What? Nathan : Your... Your family's crazy. Haley : Whatever. What time does "Scott free" come on? Nathan : Oh, nice!	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "07x14 - Family Affair"}	foreverdreaming
One Tree Hill – Season 7 Episode 15 IN LUCAS’S BED ROOM Brooke : "The girl behind the brown door." Doesn't have the same ring to it. Julian : Hey, Brooke. How you doing? Brooke : Yeah, I'm just watching a teamster paint my adolescence a fugly shade of brown. Julian : Oh. I guess there's a lot of memories around here for you. Brooke : You could say that. In high school, this was Lucas' bedroom. Julian : Mm. Now that brned into my brain, how we, uh, doing on the wardrobe choices for scene 23? Brooke : The big love scene -- Slinky off-the-shoulder, tight-and-revealing. Julian : Nice. I knew hiring you as costume designer was the right move. Brooke : Thank you. Julian : Let me see them on her before I make a decision. Brooke : So...Speaking of high school memories, Haley and Quinn organized that fundraiser dance At Tree Hill High tonight. And I just wanted to tell you in case you were thinking it'd be weird to go. Not that you would. But if you did... It wouldn't. Julian : Uh, thanks, but, you know, we sht our first scenes tomorrow, And I got a million things to do. Besides, you know what a geek I was in high school. You've seen my yearbook photo. Brooke : Yeah, that's brned into my brain. Julian : Exactly. The day I graduated, I swore I'd never go back. You have fun, though. I'll see you tomorrow. Brooke : See you tomorrow. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Kylie : Clay, I'm here for my morning laps. I even shaved certain... Areas to cut down on my time. And yours. Quinn : Ugh. Just go away already. Kylie : Ugh. Don't tell me you're in there with that miserable slag again. Quinn : Sorry. I'm such a slag. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Mouth : Guys? It's a little early to be surfing for prn. Fergie : Don't ever say that. Junk : Don't even think it. We're not looking at prn... Yet. Fergie : We're changing your life. Mouth : "cantwaittofindadate.Com" Seriously? Junk : Listen, the best way to get over Millie Is to get right back on the horse -- Preferably a hot, naked, made-to-order horse. And all you have to do is describe your perfect woman. OUTSIDE Clay : Hey, man. Morning. Nathan : Morning? Where the hell are we? We left that charity event in Atlanta early so we could make it back to Tree Hill by morning. Clay : Yeah. Uh, right after you fell asleep last night, it started raining. Nathan : Yeah? Clay : Really hard. Nathan : And? Clay : One might even call it a deluge. Nathan : Clay. Clay : I missed the highway exit And, uh, drove a few hours in the wrong direction. But the good news is that we're only a couple hundred miles outside of Tree Hill, and we're driving a corvette. We'll be home faster than you can say Yao Ming. Nathan : Yao Ming. Clay : So we'll get home this afternoon. Nathan : Clay... There was a reason I had to be home this morning. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Here I come. Hope you guys are ready for me. Jamie : Bacon, crispy. Eggs, scrambled. Milk, chocolate. Haley : Hey! Besides "please" and "thank you," Do you have anything else you would like to say to your mother? Jamie : Uh... Pancakes, blueberry? Haley : I can't believe it. They frickin' forgot my birthday. OUTSIDE Nathan : Haley, listen, my phone is bad to die. Everything's fine -- we're just having some car trouble, so I don't know when we're gonna make it home. But, Haley... Happy Birthday. Clay : Well... According to Gomer Pyle, "they don't got no fancy car tires," So they got to tow it to mount pilot. They'll have it back by tonight. Nathan : Tonight? Come o-- I got to get ahold of Haley. I always go big for her birthday. She'll be expecting something. I... Let me use your phone. Clay : Sure. It's in the car. AT LUCAS’S HOUSE Julian : Hey, Alex, I just got the gold script revisions, but I don't see any changes. Alex : That's 'cause there aren't any. Julian : Then why'd we put out pages? Alex : I wasn't gonna let the final script color be salmon. Puke. Julian : Okay. Alex : Hey, so I, um, I saw you talking to Brooke earlier. She practically begged you to go to that dance. Julian : Not quite. I think what she said was "it wouldn't be weird" if I went. Alex : Trust me. She wants you to go. Julian : I think she was just being polite. It's -- it's been weird between us since the breakup. And since when are you so pro Brooke-and-Julian? Alex : Oh, I'm a total "Brulian" fan now. One of the steps of recovery is to make amends for all the wrongs you've done. Julian : You still gonna have time to be in the movie? Alex : Shut up! AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Jamie : Why are we eating with the nice plates? We only do that on holidays and stuff. Haley : I don't know. Maybe it's the birth of a new day. Jamie : Are you feeling all right? Haley : Yeah. Listen, Quinn and I have to leave early to set up for this dance, So junk and Fergie are gonna come over to babysit, okay? Jamie : You only get those guys when you can't find anyone else. Haley : That's not true. You have fun with Junk and Fergie. Besides, the two of them equals one responsible adult. Jamie : I'm not a baby anymore. I'm old enough to stay home by myself. Haley : And I'm old enough to get arrested for child endangerment, which would be my third strike, by the way. Fourth. Quinn : Morning, Jamie! Hey, little sis! It's the big day! Oh, it's no big deal. Haley : Of course it is. Quinn : Today's the day we rescue the endangered arts program at Tree Hill High. What could be bigger than that? Haley : I can't think of a thing. Quinn : Since the theme of the dance is "return to the '80s," I get to fulfill my lifelong dream -- I'm crimping my hair. Haley : While that is very '80s, you may need to rethink your life goals. Quinn : Hmm. Haley : Listen, um, we might be flying solo tonight. I got a message from Nathan and clay. It seems like they're having some car trouble. Quinn : Really? How much you want to bet that's a ploy To get out of wearing parachute pants? I'm gonna go crimp my hair. Haley : Yay. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Alexander : Yeesh. I'd like my margarita blended, no salt. Brooke : Ha ha. I'm thinking about wearing this to the '80s dance at my high school tonight. Alexander : Huh. What a coincidence, 'cause I actually learned everything I know about fashion From "Miami Vice" reruns. Brooke : Brooke : You were born in the wrong decade, my friend. Alexander : Yeah, perhaps. But I do make the perfect date for an '80s dance. Yeah. And by "date," I just mean a guy who wants to go strictly as friends. Yeah, I... I'm just not sure that's really a good idea. Alexander : Come on. The best way for me to meet a hot girl is to have another one on my arm. It's like a magnet. You'd be doing me a favor. Brooke : Okay. We will go as friends. Alexander : Okay, cool. I'll pick you up at 7:00. Oh, and by the way, for the whole magnet thing to work, I'm gonna need you to salvage that train wreck. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Yeah. Quinn? Quinny, are you up there? Jamie : She's pimping her hair. Haley : I hope you mean "crimping."Listen, I have to go run some errands, okay? Please remind Quinn to stay until junk and Fergie get here. Jamie : Sure. Haley : Okay. Mwah. Love you, baby. Have fun tonight. Jamie : I will. Quinn : Hey. Was your mom looking for me? Jamie : Yeah. She wanted me to tell you That she's gonna pick up Junk and Fergie, And you can leave whenever. Quinn : Okay. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Junk : Okay, little bro. No hard feelings. Believe that? Jamie just cancelled on us. He said they went another direction. Fergie : That's cold, man. Junk : Yeah. Where were we? Let's see. Must be a local girl. Hair color, blonde. Eyes, blue. Rockin' bod. Mouth : Oh, come on. Don't be shallow. Give her an I.Q. Of at least 100 and a good sense of humor. Junk : That should be everything. Come on, where's our perfect woman? Mouth : See, guys, that's just it. I've been going along With this little science experiment to show you that the perfect woman doesn't really exist. Junk : Unless she does. Check it out. We found a match. She lives in Tree Hill, and it says she's "searching for a nice guy." Who's nicer than you, mouth? Fergie : There's no photo! Mouth : Of course not. That's because "she" is probably a "he." Okay? Delete my profile. This was a bad idea. OUTSIDE Clay : Hey. I know you want get home as soon as possible, So I think I found us a ride back to Tree Hill. Nathan : Oh, thank god. Clay : Don't thank him just yet. You might want to wait until you see the ride. Nathan : Whatever. Another five minutes, And you were giving me a piggyback ride. Clay : Funny you should say that, actually. The driver says they're real friendly. Nathan : You got to be kidding me. Clay : I wish I were. Man : You boys gettin' in or what? Nathan : You're about to see just how much I love my wife. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Jamie : Hello? Is anyone home? I'm all alone in the house? I'm all alone in the house! Sweet! OUTSIDE Clay : I feel bad, man, 'cause I love bacon. And I love pork chops. And I love ham, you know? But then I met you. Now I'm conflicted. Nathan : Look, I know you're planning On falling insanely in love with that pig, But can we please talk about something else? Clay : Sure. What did you have planned for Haley's birthday? Nathan : Jamie and I bought a ton of decorations. We were gonna do up the whole house. Clay : Sounds nice. Nathan : I was gonna make pork ribs. Clay : What's going on? Man : Well, bridge is out. Probably flooded from the deluge we had last night. Clay : Oh. What'd I tell you? Man : Ain't nobody going nowhere for a while. Nathan : Do you have a map? Thanks. Okay, we are... Okay, we're here. And if we just hike a few miles north, then we'll make it to the next highway. We can just hitch a ride home that way. Clay : I, uh, I-I don't know about that, man. Maybe we should, uh, just -- just wait? 'cause what if we get lost? Nathan : Dude, I'm like a human compass, okay? Come on. Clay : That'll do, pigs. That'll do. Wait up! AT TREE HILL HIGH SCHOOL Haley : Hey, Q! Someone wrote "slut" all over your car in lipstick. It's gonna be a bitch getting that off. Quinn : You're right. Her name's Kylie. Haley : Hey, Grubbs. Thank you so much for tending bar tonight. Grubbs : No problem. In high school, I was kind of a band geek. It's nice to come back as a cool bartender. As a moderately cool bartender. It's nice to come back as a bartender? AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Mouth : Can you guys kick in for the pizza for once? I am unemployed, you know. Kylie : Hey, I'm Kylie. Which one of you little maniacs is Marvin McFadden? Mouth : Uh, that's me. Kylie : I'm here for our date. Mouth : I think there's been a mistake. Kylie : Your profile said that you're tall and thin, With a good body and really big...Hands. Oh, my. I hear there's a dance at the school. Do you want to go? Mouth : No. Well, I mean, yes, but … It's just that... Why are you on a dating? You could get a date with anyone on the planet. You're not, like, a dude, are you? Kylie : Satisfied? Mouth : Yeah. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Jamie : Yeah. Yeah. Ugh! Oh, no. It's mom's birthday. AT LUCAS’S HOUSE Julian : I just want to say how grateful I am that you're all taking this ride with me. Now let's go make someone's favorite movie! It sounded better in my head. Alex : Don't worry. I'll start the slow clap for you if no one else does. Julian : What are you still doing here? Alex : Well, it just occurred to me that you spent the entire day making everyone else feel ready for tomorrow. How do you feel? Julian : Nervous. I...I've been around movie sets my whole life, but I've never been in the director's chair. Alex : I was pretty nervous, to for my first big part. But I just kept asking myself, "How would Julia Roberts do it?" She's my favorite actress. So who's your favorite director? Julian : John Hughes. You know, "Ferris Bueller," "Breakfast club," "Sixteen candles." Those weren't just movies about teenagers. They were about the struggle everyone has to find themselves. Talk about a director with a clear vision. I-I'd like to make a movie half as good as his. Alex : Then why don't you take a cue from John Hughes? Clear your vision. Take the night off and come to the school. Maybe even dance with Brooke. Julian : I don't know, Alex. Um... I have to find an outfit from the '80s. Alex : Actually, I've got that covered. I thought you might change your mind. But just so we're clear -- this is not a date. It's not even date-ish. OUTSIDE FRONT OF CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke : Not bad. Alexander : Brooke Davis -- stunning in any decade. AT TREE HILL HIGH SCHOOL Haley : Hi, everyone! Thank you so much for coming out and supporting the arts! Quinn : So, please, everyone, give what you can And have a gnarly, totally tubular time! Um...Oh. Where's the beef? Oh. Okay, um, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome... Cheap trick! AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Junk : You notice how Kylie smelled like strawberries? Fergie : Yeah. Junk : Mouth totally owes us. Ooh. It's a text from Haley. "How's it going with Jamie?" AT TREE HILL HIGH SCHOOL Brooke : Alexander Coyne, this is Haley James Scott. Alexander : Hey. I'm a big fan. Haley : Oh, thanks. I am -- I am, too, of your detective work with tubbs. Brooke : You know, this is a big night for Haley. When we were in high school, She was always trying to bring back the '80s fashion. You got your wish! Haley : Oh, I did! I did. Um, excuse me. Brooke : 'kay. Haley : Grubbs, make me something...Strong. What? You need to see my I.D.? Grubbs, you flatter me. Grubbs : Wow. I had no idea. You're 5'4". Haley : Thank you. Good talk, Grubbs. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Junk : I swear, I'm gonna kll that kid. Come on. AT TREE HILL HIGH SCHOOL Mouth : So, your profile said you like to dance. Kylie : Maybe after a few more drinks. I'll be right back. Mouth : What her profile should have said is "like Millie on steroids." Kylie : It took me four hours To get the smoothie out of my hair, bitch. Quinn : Yes, well, I'm the one who has to drive home In a car with "slut" written all over it. Kylie : I was just trying to increase your chances of getting rear-ended. Quinn : Look, I'm sorry, okay? I shouldn't have poured smoothie on you. I apologize. Truce? Kylie : How american of you to pick a fight that you can't win. And just so you know, Clay told me that he didn't believe in love. So good luck with that. OUTSIDE Nathan : The highway's this way. I think. Clay : You look on the bright side, Nate -- I mean, if we actually live through this thing, think of the endorsement deals. I mean, on GPS units alone. Like, "I never would've gotten lost If it had only been for my --" Nathan : Shut up! Please shut up! Clay : Trying to make conversation. Nathan : That's the thing -- you're talking. You're always talking, man. Clay : Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize that the human compass needed complete silence to concentrate. You know, maybe we should have stayed with the pigs. 'cause it seems to me that you've gotten us lost. Nathan : Me? We wouldn't even be here right now if you hadn't insisted on driving to Atlanta For a guys' road trip. If you hadn't have missed Tree Hill in the rain, If you hadn't have driven over those tire spikes, I would be home right now, clay! I'm on the road for half the year! The least I can do is be home for my wife's birthday. Clay : Nate, I know Haley. She'll understand. Nathan : Well, she shouldn't have to. You'd know that if you were ever married. Clay : Yeah, you're right. I guess I would've. I'm going this way. Nathan : That's -- clay, that's not the right way! Clay : Yeah, I know. You're the human compass. You know what? Just do whatever the hell you want. I'm going this way. AT TREE HILL HIGH SCHOOL Julian : It's amazing how you can enter the building a functioning adult and immediately revert to the geek you were in high school. Alex : I'll tell you a secret. I was a geek, too. I wore headgear until the end of my hm* year. Julian : There she is. Alex : So, geek, why don't you take a chance and ask the popular girl to dance? Julian : Maybe because the popular girl is already here with somebody else. Alex : I'm sure it's not what it looks like. Julian : It's okay. It wouldn't be the '80s without a cameo by Crocodile Dundee. I just wish he wasn't on a date with Brooke. Brooke : Of course he showed up with Alex. It's a retro dance, after all. Why should I expect anything new? Alex : Just go talk to her. We might be in a high school, but we're not in high school. Brooke : Come on. Julian : Oh, god, they're coming this way. Come on, let's hide. Alex : Correction -- we're definitely back in high school. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Junk : Just, uh, grab that flower pot. Looks like we're gonna have to break a window. Ah! Fergie : Ah! Junk : I'm ht! I'm ht! Hold up! Hold up! Hold up! Hold up! Jamie, wait! It's us! Jamie : Oh. Hey, guys. Are you gonna tell my parents? Junk : What, that we were stupid enough to fall for your little prank? Not if you don't. Jamie : Okay, deal. But I need your help. IN TREE HILL HIGH SCHOOL HALL Haley : My locker was down there. Brooke : Mine was over here. Do you remember how Lucas pimped it out the first day of senior year? I wonder if the combination still works. Haley : Brooke Davis. Brooke : What? Haley : Shut up! That's so bad! Brooke : Oh. Haley : Looks like she really loves him. Brooke : Do you ever think things were simpler then? Haley : What, the love triangle between you, Lucas, and Peyton? No. No. Brooke : Yeah. I guess love's never simple. Haley : All right. What actually happened with you and Julian? Because I do not understand why you're not together. Brooke : He's here with Alex. Haley : So are you. The boy version. Brooke : That's different. He made it clear that she's his priority right now, and I think he has feelings for her. Whether or not he admits that, I can't be the girl who's with the guy who's in love with someone else. Not again. Kylie : Tell me about it. Hey, is there someplace around here a girl can lie down? Oh, this -- this'll do.Haley : Are you okay? Kylie : Yeah. I...just need a little break. Haley : Who is she? Brooke : I don't know. Okay, just, um... You...Take care. Kylie : Ow! Ow! Wait! Ow. AT TREE HILL HIGH SCHOOL Julian : g'day, mate. What can I get you? No, let me guess -- foster's? Alexander : Yeah, uh... Hey, uh, I guess it's weird for you that I'm here with Brooke. But, you know, just for the record, I'm actually a nice guy. Julian : Okay, nice guy. Well, also for the record -- If you ever hurt her, I will hunt you down across the outback. And I'm not talking about the steakhouse. Although, I will hunt you down there, as well. Alexander : Fair enough. Well, uh, thanks for the beer, mate. Julian : I wouldn't last five minutes in the outback. IN TREE HILL HIGH SCHOOL HALL Kylie : Hey, can you help? My hair's stuck in the bloody door. Quinn : How did that happen? Actually, I don't want to know. Never mind. I'll go find someone. Kylie : No, don't go. I'm sorry I was such a bitch before. Quinn : It's okay. Kylie : No. It's not. It -- it's just... Clay told me that he didn't believe in love. And then you come along, and I realized what he really meant was that he didn't believe in love with someone like me. Quinn : Kylie, there's more to it than that. Kylie : No. Guys see me as a body, someone to shag. I'm lucky if they even buy me breakfast. Here. Cut it. Quinn : What? No way. Kylie : Ugh. It's just hair. It's gonna grow back. Quinn : No. You're drunk. And why do you have scissors in your purse? Kylie : I was gonna slash your tires. Quinn : Oh. Kylie : Just cut my hair, you bitch. Plus, it will still smell like strawberries, anyway. OUTSIDE Nathan : I can't believe it. You were right. Clay : Imagine that. It might be nice if you gave me the benefit every now and then Instead of just the doubt. Nathan : You're right, man. I was -- I was out of line back there. I'm sorry. Clay : Nate, there's something that I've never told you. And I don't know why I've never told you, but I just didn't. I used to be married... Before you and I met. Her name was Sara. Nathan : Right. She leave you after you started sleeping with all those women? Clay : No. Actually, she died. Nathan : Geez, Clay. I... I'm sorry, man. I thought -- I thought you were joking. Why didn't you ever tell me this? Clay : I was your agent. Nathan : And then you became my friend. Clay : Look, I know that I should have told you a long time ago, But I'm telling you now Because I get how hard it is for you... Being away from Haley so much. Clay : Whoa, slow, slow, slow! No, whoa, whoa! Woman : Aah! Don't hurt me! Clay : Ma'am, no, no. We're not gonna hurt you. It's just my friend here -- You see, he's been wandering through the woods For the entire day, and all he wants to do is get back to Tree Hill So he can spend the next few hours home with his wife to celebrate her birthday. Woman : You're Nathan Scott. Clay : You're a basketball fan, huh? Woman : Well, I do live in North Carolina, honey. I can take you back to Tree Hill. But I only have room for one. Clay : Tell Haley I said happy birthday. Nathan : There's no way I'm leaving you out here. Clay : No, it's okay. I'll catch the next ride. Nathan : Clay, come on. Clay : Nate. Go be home with your wife. Go. Thanks. Clay : Please tell me you didn't k*ll that nice lady and dump her body because there's no way I can spin that. Nathan : No, I just bought her car. Get in. Let's go home. Clay : Nice. OUTBACK Brooke : It's funny. I always had a thing for the guys in shop class. Julian : What happened to your date? Brooke : Come on. We're just friends. Julian : Ah, the irony is palpable. Brooke : You know I wasn't trying to make you jealous, right? You said you weren't coming, So... Why did you? Julian : It was a misguided attempt to find some clarity on the night before the biggest day of my professional life. But going back to high school just makes me feel like a geek. Not exactly a confidence booster. Brooke : Well, I've seen my share of '80s movies, and if I've learned anything is that nothing boosts the geek's confidence like a kiss from the cheerleader. I'll see you at work tomorrow. You're gonna do great. Julian : Hey, Brooke? This isn't gonna be easy, is it? You and I being friends. Brooke : No. But it's better than not being in each other's lives at all. OUTSIDE Alexander : Hey, there. I'm Alexander. You have any idea where our dates are? Alex : Hopefully somewhere together. Alexander : That doesn't bother you? Alex : Some advice, from one Alex to another -- Don't fall in love with Brooke Davis. Those two are gonna end up together, Even if they don't know it yet. Alexander : Yeah, okay. Um, well, how do you know, then? Alex : Brooke still loves Julian. And I know because... So do I. Haley : Well, whose car is this? Nathan : It's yours. Happy birthday, Hales. Haley : Oh! Mouth : It's not that bad. Kylie : Bollocks. It looks bloody awful. But you have been a trooper. So we can go and have a shag. Mouth : I can't believe I'm actually gonna say this, but, um... I can't. I mean, I can, but... We can't. Kylie : Right. So your flat or mine? Mouth : No, I'm serious. It's not that I don't want to. Believe me, I do. It's just... my ex-girlfriend, who is also my roommate. It's messy. But we could go get some pancakes, maybe soak up some of that alcohol. Mouth : Your profile was right. You are a nice guy. It's good to know there's still a few out there. Thank you. Quinn : Hey! Mouth : Are you ready to move on? Kylie : Yeah. Clay : Mmm. I'm sorry I missed your dance. Quinn : It's okay. Clay : Is this where you went to school, huh? Quinn : Yeah. Clay : Show me around? Quinn : Okay. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Well, I guess Junk and Fergie actually did a good job. Maybe we should bump them up on the babysitting list. Nathan : Let's get him to bed. Jamie : Happy birthday, mama. Haley : Thank you, baby. Nathan : What are you gonna wish for? Haley : I already have everything I ever wanted. AT LUCAS’S HOUSE Julian : So I just want to say how grateful I am that you're all taking this ride with me. So, let's make someone's favorite movie.

It's the one where he leaves her. Brooke : Oh. Well, I think all girls understand The moment there's another girl. So maybe it's about what they don't say. Julian : Actually, I was thinking he doesn't say enough, you know? I mean, she's got to know that he loved her, But if she doesn't, He needs to find the words to convince her. Brooke : And what are those words? Julian : I don't know yet. But I'm gonna find them. I mean... The movie depends on it. Brooke : Right. Well, then, I should get back to work.

Grubbs : Everybody likes flowers. Miranda : I didn't say I dislike them. I simply can't keep them alive. Flowers in a vase are better. They last a limited amount of time, and no care is required. Grubbs : Are you scared? Miranda : Of what? Grubbs : Of being my girlfriend. Miranda : Look. I'm not your girlfriend, and the odds of that happening Are about as good as me keeping that orchid alive -- Slim to none. And let's be honest. You're the one that's scared. You're talented, and yet you won't make a record. I'd just like to know why. Grubbs : It's too personal. Miranda : "it's too personal." ON THE SET Alex : Are those supposed to wash it all away, The "I'll always love you’s, the "I don't blame you’s, The "forever’s? Julian : Cut. Let's go again. Paul : Julian, this is the 14th take.

I Ju -- I can't get there emotionally. I'm trying, but -- Julian : It’s okay. Alex : No, it's not okay. I suck. Julian : No, you'll find it. They're your words. You wrote them because they mean something to you. Okay, I know you can do this. Just -- just s the line to me. Alex : Sure, help me. Clean me up. Make me immaculate. Fill me up with your promises and words and lies. Julian : Okay, say it again, but just stay with me. Let me help you. Alex : Mnh-mnh. Julian : Say the line again, but look at me. Look at me.

Paul : You did it. Julian : No, Alex did it. Paul : Okay. AT TRIC Grubbs : You're feeling a bottle of something, but you should stick with water. It's safer emotionally. You want to talk about it? Brooke : I took a job to be near my ex. It's painful. But it's worse to be away from him. Sorry. I don't mean to be the sad, pouty girl who comes in, dumps all her problems on you. Grubbs : You are talking to a guy who wrote an entire album about a girl -- Every song. Brooke : What happened? Grubbs : She's with someone else now. Brooke : How did you know it was over? Grubbs : You know, for the longest time, whenever I would see her, even after we weren't together a more, she would tell me that she missed me. And I would look into her eyes, and I knew she meant it. Then one day, she just stopped saying it, and I knew she was gone. AT THE ANONYMOUS ALCOOLICS Woman : I went in for one drink and told my daughter to stay in the car, That mama would be right back. Millicent : Excuse me. Hi. Would you mind signing this reallyuick? It's just a court thing. Man : You not have to explain. Millicent : Oh. Man : You know, it might help you to stay. Millicent : It's okay. It was just a small driving incint. I'm fine. Thank you. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : Thank you. Lydia : There you go. Quinn's told me a lot about you. Clay : All good, I ho. Lydia : Mm. You make her very, very happy. You knowhat worried look she gets? It's gone. Clay : She means the world to me. Lydia : I was sorry to hear about your wife. I lost my husband, too, a few years back. Clay : Quinn mentioned that. I'm sorry, too. Lydia : It's hard, isn't it, Learning to live without them? Clay : Yeah. It's hard mang new memories, you know, like it's not fair to them. Lydia : I think it not fair to them not to. I mean, they'd want that, wouldn't they? They'd want to know that we faced their absence with dignity and grace. Clay : Yeah, well, the truth is, I'm not sure I've been thatracious about any of it. Lydia : You're still here, aren't you, Still finding your way? That's about as much grace as anyone can ask. AT RED BEDROOM RECORDS Miranda : Oh, Haley, I'm so glad you're here. Haley : You're chipper. I don't think you've ever been happy to see me. Miranda : I need you to convince Grubbs to record. Haley : Um, I-I'm sorry. My mom's in town, so I'm gonna be spending the day with her. Since when do you need my help convincing someone to do something they don't want to do? You're great at that. Miranda : It's true, but this one is different. He called me... his girlfriend. Haley : That's so sweet. Miranda : It's not sweet, and don't confuse the issue. He's good. He's really good. And our label could use him. Haley : You totally have a boyfriend. Go get him, tiger. Miranda : He's not my boyfriend! ON THE SET Jamie : Whoa, this is cool. It's exactly like uncle Lucas' house. Julian : Hey, there's my first A.D. Jamie : Oh, cool. Julian : So, I need some background footage of the set and behind-the-scenes stuff. Think you can handle that? Nathan : So, you working hard or hardly working? "Shrek 2." Julian : Dude, that's your movie quote? That's, like, a common expression. Nathan : Yeah? Julian : Yeah. Wow, "Shrek 2." Nathan : I like "Shrek 2." Alex : Hey, bitch. Millicent : Hey. Alex : Oh, you're cranky. Millicent : No, I'm not. I'm fine. Okay, sort of cranky that I have to go to these meetings. It's a bunch of losers with serious problems, Like leave-your-kid-in-the-car or burn-your-house-down-'cause you're-so-wasted problems. Mine -- not so big. Alex : Right. Millicent : Whatever. How's being a movie star again? Alex : Try worst actress ever -- 14 takes this morning. Not awesome. Julian was great, but I'm just -- I'm really frustrated. Millicent : You'll be okay. You're Alex Dupré Man : Alex, they're ready for you. Alex : Okay, thanks. Yeah, well, hopefully Alex Dupré figures it out before she brings down the whole movie set. Later, bitch. Oh, Millie. Those people at the meetings -- their problems started out not so big, too. Julian : So, I want the camera to circle right while zooming, As if we're being drawn into them. Then I want to slow the movement and end on a tight close-up of Alex -- no cutting. Got it? Alexander : Nice sht, Hitchcock. It's "Vertigo," right? Hey, beauty. I have the suit sample. Brooke : Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme. I die. I love it. Alexander : Yeah? Brooke : I'd love it with a slimmer leg, an eighth of an inch on either side. Alexander : Got it. So, I'm thinking we'll be ready to unveil in about a month. Brooke : You are good, Alexander Coyne. Alexander : No, you're good, Brooke Davis. Alex : Brooke, they're doing last looks. Brooke : Okay. Alexander : And you look hot. Wow. Do you, uh, need any help with that? Brooke : No, I'm good, but feel free To go make the adjustments to that suit, now. Alex : Or you could just stay and do it later. Brooke : Okay. Really? Alexander : She is pretty hot. Brooke : Another guy hypnotized by Alex. She's like a freaking siren. Alexander : Hey, there's no woman as alluring as you, Brooke Davis. I think I should get back to work. Brooke : Good idea. Hey. I appreciate you being around. I know you didn't sign up for a lot of this. Alexander : Yeah, no worries. I'm here for whatever you need. ON BACKSTAGE Julian : So, Alexander's kind of a tool, huh? Brooke : If by tool, you mean really good designer. Julian : Yeah, tool. Brooke : Wow, and I was just gonna tell you that you did a really good job with Alex on that scene today. And then I was maybe gonna tell you that you're a natural. Julian : I don't know if a natural would need 14 takes to direct one scene. Brooke : Don't be so hard on yourself. Julian : Is this too hard on you? Brooke : I'm okay. Paul : Julian, can I talk to you? Julian : Yeah. Brooke : I was just leaving. Paul : I see you're driving that truck.

Lydia : It wasn't terrible. It was cute, baby. Look at you, with your little face and those great big glasses. Haley : She was teased for that haircut, like, every day. Quinn : Yeah, I cried for like a week, and then I wore a mop head around the house To have princess hair. Taylor : Haley was such a pudge. Haley : I was a baby. You're supposed to be fat when you're -- give me that. Quinn : Do you remember When you used to stuff your bra, like, a lot? Taylor : Mom, you have extras of this? Lydia : Uh, I think I have pictures of just about all of it. Oh. Haley : Are you okay, mom? Lydia : Um...I'm sick. Look at me. I swore I wasn't gonna cry, but, boy, these tears are stubborn. Haley : Mom, but you're gonna be okay, though, right? Lydia : No. I'm not. Haley : What do you mean mom, what’s wrong? Lydia : I have cancer. It's pancreatic. And that means that even with aggressive treatment, I wouldn't have much time left. Quinn : But there has to be options, right? Lydia : There aren't, quinny. Haley : Well, you have to try. Lydia : Okay, now, I have made my decision. And what I want to do is I want to live the rest of my life fully, With my family, not in some cold hospital.

Lydia : No, I am not giving up. I'm gonna die. Haley : Mom, don't say that! Lydia : I can't change that, okay, So I've accepted it. Quinn : How? How do you just accept it, mom? You have to fight. Lydia : Because I want to enjoy the time I have left. Taylor : Like you've been enjoying every day since dad died? You're giving up, and you know it. You're committing su1c1de. I mean, maybe Quinn can take a picture of it, and we can just add it to this stupid box. Haley : Taylor. Tay. ON BACKSTAGE Alex : Here's my wardrobe. Brooke : Thanks. I -- I shortened the dress for tomorrow. It'll look pretty. Alex : All the clothes are really great. Rough day, huh? Brooke : I've had plenty of those. Alex : Yeah. Guess they're going around. Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Brooke : Alex. You're doing good. Alex : You think? Thanks. Julian : How's my first A.D. doing? Get some good footage? Jamie : Tons. You want to see? Julian : h*t me. Jamie : I got a lot of Aunt Brooke. Brooke : Jamie, bug, You are exactly what I need to brighten my day. What are you doing? Julian : She's pretty great. How about you hang on to this, 'cause you'll need it next time you visit set? Jamie : Really? Julian : Mm-hmm. Jamie : Sweet. Brooke : Okay, well, oh, wow. Make me look good. Hi. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : Hey, you. Baby? What's wrong? Quinn : My mom. My mom. She came to tell us that she -- She came to tell us that she was dying. Clay : I'm so sorry. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Lydia : Are you okay? Haley : Not really, no. Lydia : Would you like to talk about it? Haley : You want me to say I'm mad? I’m mad. This is not fair. You say "I have cancer," and my whole world changes. What am I supposed to do with that, mom? When I need advice on how to be a good mother to Jamie, I call you. When I need advice on how to be a good wife, I call you. When I'm sad or mad or happy or whatever, I call you, and I need you to be here. Lydia : And I am always, always gonna be a part of you, baby. But you are a wonderful mother and a wonderful wife all by yourself. Haley : I'm... Lydia : Baby, you are incredibly strong. Think about everything that you have faced. And no matter how difficult, you have always found the graceful way to handle it. Well, you are going to have to find that strength now. Haley : I don't want to. I don't want to be strong for this, mom. Lydia : I need you to be. And your sisters -- they need you to be. We... Are going to have to be strong for everybody else who can't be. QUINN’S GALLERY Quinn : Mom? Why did you call me here? You should be home resting. Lydia : I'm sick, Quinn. I'm not a child. Quinn : Yeah, but you've had a long day. Lydia : It was a perfect day. This space... Has your name all over it. Your photographs -- It's time for you to open a studio and a gallery. So I've paid the first six months' rent. Quinn : Okay, but, mom, you know that – Lydia : No. No, no, no excuses. You can do this, and you need to do this. Your work, baby, is important, and it's good, and you need to believe in that. Quinn : Okay. Okay. Thank you. Are you scared? Lydia : I think... That knowing that your dad is there helps. Quinn : Is he, though? I mean... Does that place even exist? Lydia : Oh. Of course it does. I'm just gonna miss all of this. Quinn : I love you. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : You're gonna say goodbye, right? Taylor, you're making a mistake. Tay. Taylor, please. Taylor : I'm not gonna sit here and watch her give up. Haley : Does everything always have to be about you? Do you have to be so selfish all the time? Taylor : She's the one that's being selfish. Haley : Are you kidding me? She needs us right now. Taylor : No, what she needs is to fight. And you need to stop acting like you know what's best for everyone, Because you don't. Haley : If you leave, you're gonna regret this. Maybe. Maybe I will. But I'm not gonna stay here and watch her die. Quinn : Hey. Haley : Hey. It's not supposed to be like this, you know. She -- she's supposed to watch us get married and have kids and watch our kids grow up and go to prom and -- and graduate high school. This is not… This is not fair. Quinn : I know. Haley : I'm really glad you're here. Quinn : Me too... 'cause I don't think I could handle it without you. Lydia : Hey. Knock it off. Mm. All right. Let's have a little wine. Where's Taylor? Haley : Taylor is not coming. She left. And I tried to get her to stay, but she wouldn't, not even to say goodbye, so I'm sorry. Lydia : It's okay. Haley : No, it's not. It's not okay, because you need her right now, and we need her, and it's not right for her to do this. Lydia : You know what? Everyone... Has to deal with this... In their own way. It'll be okay. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Millicent : Marvin? Marvin? I am not plain. I'm fine the way I am. I'm fine. AT THE ANONYMOUS ALCOOLICS Millicent : Hi. Um, my name is Millicent. And I'm new here. And, um... I don't really know what to say. But I keep telling everybody I'm fine, and I'm not fine. AT TRIC Alexander : Well, you were good today. Alex : Good -- not great. I'm letting everyone dow Alexander : Need someone to get drunk with you? Alex : It's water. And I don't get drunk when I'm sad. I sleep with boys. You want to get out of here? Do you really have to think about it? Alexander : No, I was just -- I was giving you a chance to change your mind. Alex : I don't do that, either. Alexander : Well, okay, then. Let's get out of here. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : How you doing? Haley : Taylor's gone. She left. She... My mom says I'm my sisters' keeper. But I couldn't make her stay. I'm not the glue. My mom is. When she's gone, everything's gonna fall apart. Nathan : Hey. Okay, come here. Haley : I'm scared. Nathan : Okay, okay. ON BACKSTAGE Brooke : I'm heading out. You okay? Julian : Yeah. Tired. Brooke : Well, for what it's worth, I think you're doing great. Julian : Thanks. Coming from you, that...means everything. Hey, Brooke. I miss you. Brooke : Coming from you, that means everything, too. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Brooke : Jamie, bug, You are exactly what I need to brighten my day. What are you doing? Nathan : All right, buddy, it's time for bed. Jamie : Okay. Nathan : Mm. Jamie : Hey, dad. Nathan : Yeah? Jamie : I was thinking I might want to be a director instead of a basketball player when I grow up, or maybe both. Nathan : As long as you're happy. Jamie : Is mom coming up? Nathan : Mom is gonna spend some time with her mom tonight, all right? Jamie : Okay. Nathan : Night, buddy.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "07x16 - My Attendance is Bad but My Intentions are Good"}	foreverdreaming
Previously on One Tree Hill Paul : Alex has to be better, or we're gonna be in serious trouble here. Julian : She will be. Alex : I'm letting everyone down, and I don't get drunk when I'm sad. I sleep with boys. You want to get out of here? Millicent : My name is Millicent. I keep telling everybody I'm fine, and I'm not fine. Miranda : So, let me get this straight. You don't want to make a record because it's too personal? Grubbs : That's right. Miranda : Personal sells albums. So, make a record with me. Clay : I loved you so much, Sara. Sara : You were perfect with me... and you always will be. Haley : Are you okay, mom? Lydia : I have cancer. Haley : Oh, no, no, no. Lydia : It's pancreatic. So I've accepted it. Taylor : You're giving up. Lydia : No, I am not giving up. Taylor : Maybe Quinn can take a picture of it. We can just add it to this stupid box. Haley : Taylor. Tay. One Tree Hill Season 7 – Episode 17 AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Lydia : I, uh, know that we haven't had a family breakfast in a long time, but, um, I seem to remember that there used to be at least some talking and, uh, you know, eating the last few times we've done this. I don't know. Call me crazy. Haley : I'm sorry, mom. It's just hard for us to... Lydia : I know, honey, but... I just want to enjoy a breakfast with my favorite people in the world. Okay? Haley : Okay. Lydia : Good. There he is. Finally, someone with a personality. Ahh! Jamie : So, what's for breakfast? Lydia : For you, a little bit of everything. Jamie : Ooh, my favorite. What's everyone staring at? Lydia : I think it's because that was the last piece of bacon. But don't you worry about it. They had their chance. Come with me. I want to show you something, okay? I would like to thank all of you for this scintillating breakfast conversation. You know, it's moments like these that we're supposed to remember. AT THE HOTEL ROOM Alexander : Hey, come back to bed. Alex : Why are you still here? Alexander : Ouch. Well, someone's a little feisty. I like it. You know, to be honest, we could've used a little more of that last night. Alex : What's that supposed to mean? Alexander : Well, you got to admit, I did most of the work. It's okay, though. I mean, I slept like a baby. Alex : Good for you. You know who didn't sleep like a baby? Me. I got exactly 26 minutes of sleep, and I'm filming eight scenes today. Alexander : Well, I refuse to apologize for my exceptional stamina. Alex : I'm not talking about that! I'm talking about that. The horrible noise. Alexander : I think it's called music. Alex : No, when it comes through a hotel-room wall, it's called noise. Alexander : So, you're not coming back to bed? Alex : Let me try to explain this to you. I'm filming a movie right now, so I need this thing called sleep. And when I don't get sleep, I get bags under my eyes. And those bags are gonna be documented on film forever. Alexander : Yeah. Alex : Got it? Alexander : Got it. Hey, well, look on the bright side. I mean, odds are no one's even gonna see this film. Alex : Seriously, why are you still here? ON BACKSTAGE Julian : Have I been replaced already? Brooke : What? Julian : You're sitting in my chair. Brooke : Oh. I'm sorry. I thought you... Julian : No, no. Just a poorly timed joke. Brooke : You're here early. Julian : Oh, I know. I couldn't sleep. Brooke : So... figured I'd come in and try to steal your job. Julian : Um... Can I ask you something I'm not really allowed to ask anyone else? Brooke : Of course. Julian : Am I doing okay? Brooke : Are you kidding? You're doing great. Everyone is so proud of you, especially your dad and... and me. I do have one major complaint, though. You need to start dressing warmer. 'Cause if you don't, you're gonna get sick, and then you'll get all sluggish like you do, and then you'll grouch and you'll whine a little, and nobody wants that. Julian : I don't grouch. Brooke : Yes, you do. And whine. Julian : I do whine. Brooke : A little. Julian : Yeah. Brooke : Okay, well, you probably have a million fires to put out, so I'm gonna get out of your way. Thanks for letting me sit in your chair. Julian : Anytime. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : You okay? Haley : No, I'm not. She's acting like there's nothing wrong, like she's fine. Nathan : She's just trying to be strong for everyone, Haley. Haley : By giving up? Nathan : No. By accepting the situation that she's in. She seems at peace with it. Haley : Well, I'm not. It's not over. She's still here. I'm not ready to let her stop fighting. Nathan : Haley, I know this is hard, but this is her life, and the doctors told her she doesn't have much time left. Haley : So, let's get a second opinion or third or fourth. Nathan : And what happens if they say the same thing? Haley : What if they don't? Nathan : Haley. Haley : What? I... I have to believe in something right now, because without hope, I wouldn't be able to breathe. So, just let me have that, okay? If we can't find someone to help her, then at least I'll know we did everything we could. But until we know for sure, I just... I... I need that hope. Nathan : Okay. AT TOXICO CENTER Millicent : Just a few months ago, I had everything I ever wanted. But now all that seems like forever ago, because, one day, I lost my way, and I forgot who I was. But I'm trying to find my way back. I just hope I can get there someday. Thanks. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Lydia : Do you recognize this handsome guy? That's you Christmas morning. Look how little you were. Jamie : Yeah. I was a kid back then. Look, that's when I got Fletcher. He was my favorite stuffed animal. Lydia : Do you still have Fletcher? Jamie : Somewhere. Chester chewed his head off once. Mom sewed it back on. And he kind of looks weird now. Lydia : This was my favorite Christmas. I will never forget it. Jamie : Because you got lots of good presents? Lydia : Well, you could say that. I was surrounded by family, by all the people that I love most in the world. And that's the best gift anyone could ever give me. And I got to spend one last Christmas with your grandpa. That was a good day. He got you Fletcher. Jamie : I don't really remember him. Lydia : Yeah, well, you were pretty small when he died. But, boy... He loved you so much. Jamie : Do you miss him? Lydia : Every second of every day. But you know what I do to remember him? When I listen to your mom, I can hear his laugh. And when I look at your aunt Quinn, I see his eyes. And then I look at you, and I see his beautiful smile. There it is. Jamie : Maybe Christmas this year will be even better. Lydia : I hope so. But, um... I'm not gonna be with you this Christmas, Jamie. Jamie : Where will you be? Lydia : I'm... going to be with your grandpa. AT TRIC Miranda : Recorded a bunch of songs, lost the girl, and now you're afraid to make another record. Is that accurate? Grubbs : Yep, those are pretty much the bllet points of my painful existence. And thank you, by the way, for reminding me with such a cold and brief synopsis. Miranda : Can I give you some advice? Grubbs : If I say no, will you... Miranda : Get over it. The girl, the big bad record executives who hurt your feelings... just get over it. Grubbs : I wish it were that simple. Miranda : So, you're telling me there is no chance I'm gonna get you to make a record with us? Grubbs : I don't think so. Miranda : Not even 1%? Grubbs : Well, there's a 1% chance I'd do anything with you. Miranda : Excellent. That's all I need. Let's negotiate. AT THE STUDIO Julian : You wrote the script, remember? If it's putting you to sleep, you have no one to blame but yourself. Alex : I'm sorry. I was up all night. Julian : Who was he? Alex : It wasn't a he. It was a bunch of hes. Did your mind really just go there? Julian : No. Alex : Yeah, right. There's a convention in town for patio furniture sales men. Yes, apparently there are those. And lucky me, the suite right next to mine is party central for 200 middle-aged men who get to be single for a few days. They haven't stopped raging since they got here. Julian : Okay, so just switch rooms. Alex : I've tried. The stupid hotel is completely booked. I hate patio furniture. Julian : Me too. It always gets so dirty. Alex : Rehearsal's up! Julian : Alex, we have a big day today. Alex : I know. I'll be fine. I wrote the script, remember? Julian : Good. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : Hey. So, I, uh... I just spoke with our team doctor. Haley : Are you okay? Nathan : Yeah. Actually, um, I talked to him about your mom, and as it turns out, he knows one of the best oncologists in the world, and he's offered to take a look at Lydia's case. Haley : That's great. Nathan : Haley, I just want to make sure that you don't get your hopes up... you don't have to say it. Haley : Just... thank you. Nathan : You're welcome. AT QUINN’S STUDIO Quinn : So, here it is. Kind of great, huh? Clay : It's perfect. A little empty. I'm sorry. That was a stupid joke. Quinn : I just wish everything wasn't so hard with my mom right now. Clay : You know I'm the poster boy for suffering alone. But you don't have to. You know, I'm here. Quinn : I know. Thanks. I'm not avoiding it. I'm just trying to figure it all out, you know? Clay : You know, for what it's worth, you have an opportunity. You know, you still have the chance to say goodbye. I didn't have that with Sara, and I wish I did. You know, I wish I had that one moment. Quinn : Thanks. So, when do you leave for your tennis tournament? Clay : I decided not to go. I want to stay here with you. Quinn : Clay, I love that, but we both know you're building something here, okay? You have a business, and you have a client list. It's important, and you have to go. Stop. It's not an option. Come on. I promise, if anything happens, you'll be my first call. Go. Clay : Oh. Quinn : I’ll be find. Clay : Okay. First call. Quinn : First call. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Victoria : Hello, Brooke. It's a lovely day, isn't it? Oh! You look beautiful! Brooke : Mother... you're glowing. Victoria : Am I? Brooke : Yes. In fact, you've been glowing for days. It's getting weird. Victoria : Well... I suppose... it's because I've taken a lover. Brooke : Here we go. Victoria : Oh, he's a gentle, passionate lover. Brooke : Okay, I don't need details. Please. It's Paul, right? I've seen you two flirting with each other on set, and I just... ugh! Victoria : A lady doesn't kiss and tell, honey. Brooke : Well, it seems to me like you're kissing and telling right now. Victoria : Well, no. You asked why I was glowing, so I told you. Brooke : You're right. My mistake. I'm gonna get back to work now and try to extract a certain horrifying image from my mind. Victoria : Good luck with that. Me? I'm going to go and try to keep a certain image very much in my mind. Brooke : Gross! Say hi to gentle Paul for me. OUTSIDE Owen : Hey, Millie, wait up. Millicent : I got to be honest... I didn't expect to see anybody I knew here. Owen : Well, look, if it's weird for you, we can arrange it so we're here on separate days. Millicent : No. It's... I should be happy to see you. It's so hard to get up in front of bunch of strangers and explain to them how you made a complete mess of your life. Actually, it's comforting to know that you have someone there listening, someone who understands what you're going through. Owen : I'm proud of you for standing up there and sharing your story. Millicent : Thanks. I still don't know how I let it get to this point. Owen : I don't know. It all becomes a blur. The amazing thing is you realized that your life was unmanageable. Just being here is the biggest step you've ever taken. Millicent : Thanks, Owen. You have no idea how much that helps. Owen : Actually, I do. Look, you ever need someone to lean on, you can call me. I'll be there. Millicent : Okay. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Mouth : Dude, I told you to cover me with a snper rfle. Why are you equipped with an RPD? Really? I should shut the hell up? Why don't you take a look at my kll ratio and see who owns you? Yeah, that's what I thought. Lauren : Who you talking to? Mouth : Sorry. Uh, that was... that was Skills. Lauren : Oh. Mouth : We, uh... we get a little competitive. Lauren : Yeah, no, I can see that. You think he's checking out your kll ratio right now? Mouth : Yeah, just, uh, pretend you didn't hear that. Um, thanks for picking up lunch, by the way. Lauren : Sure. How's he doing? Mouth : He's good. I mean, he's not good at this game, obviously, but... wait, are you two not talking? Lauren : Yeah, not so much. And when we do talk, it's not really the same. But, I mean, that's okay. Guess it's only natural we'd drift apart, right? Mouth : Distance is hard. It's all hard. I mean, look at me and Millie. We live together, but she feels so far away. I mean, I felt closer when I lived in Omaha. Lauren : Maybe you're right. It's just, the idea of starting over sounds so scary to me. I will probably just stop dating. Mouth : I had a date the other night. Lauren : Really? Mouth : Yeah. It was bizarre. It was like this weird kind of '80s movie. But I don't know. She was cool. She even wants to go out again, but it just doesn't feel right because of Millie. Lauren : That's understandable. You know what? When you're ready, you'll just know. And until then, you do have that pretty impressive kll ratio. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Hey, buddy. Where's grandma? Jamie : She's resting. Haley : You doing okay what's wrong? Jamie : I don't want grandma to die. IN BACKSTAGE Alex : Are you stalking me now? Alexander : Relax. Brooke needed me here to do some adjustments to the wardrobe. I'm here strictly on business. Unless, of course, you want to go play in your trailer. Alex : Nothing sounds worse to me right now. Actually, I take that back. Josh : Did you see Brooke Davis's mom? I would totally ht that. I'm not even kidding. Right now, today, I would ht that. Alex : That is so sweet. Is there a woman out there you wouldn't sleep with? Josh : Eh, depends on the day. And while we're on the subject, actually, I have something kind of sensitive I need to talk to you about. Our love scene today... it's supposed to be pretty hot. I hope it doesn't bother you if I get a little excited. It's involuntary, and let's face it, you kind of do it for me. Alex : Josh. Let me be very clear with you. If I feel anything brushing up against me under those sheets, you will remember the pain that I inflict on it for the rest of your life. Got it? Josh : She's kind of feisty. Alexander : Yeah, tell me about it. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Mouth : Okay, you're officially worse than Antwon, and that is saying a lot. No, no, no, no. The left trigger aims. The right trigger sh*t. So you just want to... and you're dad... again. Don't worry, you'll re-spawn any second. Lauren : Why don't I get a headset? Mouth : Trust me, you're not ready for that. Lauren : Oh, I think I am. Mouth : Okay. Do not say you weren't warned. Lauren : Okay, this is officially the most uncool thing that I have ever done. I love it. Hey, what do I say? Should I brag about my kll ratio? Mouth : I would stay away from that one. Lauren : Okay. Um, h... hello, other players in the shting game. Anybody there? Oh, hi! Yeah, yeah, I'm a girl. Um, jeans. What do you mean, what kind of underwear am I wearing? Oh, my God. Oh, that's disgusting! Mouth : You had enough? Lauren : Who are these people? They are pure evil. And you're one of them. Mouth : No! Lauren : Yes, you are. Millicent : I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. Mouth : Uh, I'll be right back. Lauren : You know what? I... I have some things I need to do. I'll just see you later. Okay. Mouth : Hey. You okay? Millicent : Yeah. I'm fine. I just didn't realize you and Lauren were so close. Mouth : We're just friends. Millicent : Okay. It's none of my business anyway. You can be friends with whoever you want. Besides, it's not like we're together anymore, so who really cares? Mouth : I guess just me. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : She told Jamie. Nathan : How is he? Haley : He's okay. He's sleeping. Nathan : Well, that's her decision, Haley. Haley : We're his parents. It should be our decision. He's just a kid, you know? He shouldn't have to deal with all this pain. Aren't we supposed to be protecting him from this kind of stuff? Nathan : Maybe it's good for him to be prepared, to know that he doesn't have a lot of time with his grandma. Haley : And what if she gets better? Lydia : I'm not gonna get better, Haley. Hey, Nathan, would you mind, um... Nathan : Yeah, sure. Lydia : You're angry because I told Jamie. Haley : Not angry. I'm just upset... About everything. Lydia : I needed him to know the truth, Hales. Haley : Okay. I just wish we could've done it together. Mom, he's been through a lot. Lydia : I get that. I'm sorry. Haley : Okay. Lydia : I know that you think I've given up. Haley : You just seem so okay with all of this. Lydia : No, I'm not okay. I'm... I'm at peace with it. You know, I fought hard. I... God, I promise you, I... And then, one day, I just... I realized that I had to stop fighting and I had to start enjoying the time that I had left. And that's all I'm trying to do. Haley : Can I ask you for something, even though I know it's something that you don't want to hear? Will you please let me give your medical records to Nathan's doctor so that somebody can take a look at it? Lydia : It's just... it's not gonna make any difference. Haley : It may not, but I'm not ready to lose you yet, mom, so if there's anybody out there who can do something, I have to take that chance. Will you please do that for me? Lydia : Okay. You can give him my medical records... on one condition. When he comes back with the same diagnosis, I need you to accept it, okay? Like I've accepted it. And, hopefully, then we can at least try to enjoy the time I have left... together, all of us. Please? Do that for me? IN BACKSTAGE Julian : Oh, hey, there you are. You kind of disappeared for a while. Brooke : I was just trying to stay out of your way. Julian : I don't remember telling you to stay out of my way. Brooke : Well, you had to sht that big sex scene with Alex and Josh, and I didn't really want to be around for that. Julian : Ohh. It turned out pretty well, I think. Although, at one point, Josh did let out a girlish shriek, and then Alex stormed off to her trailer for 10 minutes. Not really sure what that was. Brooke : Actors. Julian : Yeah. So, thanks for the sweater. Brooke : Yeah, it's no big deal. I mean, it's yours. I figured you might want it. Julian : Thanks Brooke : So, get this. I think that my mom and your dad have become lovers. Julian : We did kind of see this coming. Brooke : Yeah. Apparently, your dad is quite gentle. Julian : What? Brooke : Not to mention extremely passionate. Julian : Why are you doing this to me? Brooke : Because I had to suffer through it alone. Now we can at least be equally traumatized. Julian : Thank you. Brooke : Yeah. Wouldn't it be weird if they ended up together? Julian : Honestly, I'm kind of envious of them. At least they're going for it, right? Brooke : Yeah. Julian : All right, I gotta run, but thanks again for the sweater, Brooke. Brooke : Mm-hmm. AT TRIC Miranda : Okay, you'll have complete creative control, you'll keep publishing, and here's where we got a little overly generous. 51% of profits and 35% of merchandising. Grubbs : Uh, m... merchandising? You're gonna make t-shirts with my face on them? Miranda : We're gonna make a lot of things with your face on them. We can talk about the beard later. All you have to do is sign right here. Grubbs : Well, you haven't heard my list of demands yet. Miranda : What else? What the hell is that? Grubbs : Pickled eggs, of course. Miranda : Why would something like that exist? Grubbs : For times like this. My first demand... eat one. Miranda : You can't be serious. You're serious. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : Hey, buddy. Look at all this cool stuff. Jamie : Yeah, I'm just going through some old things. Nathan : Okay. Now we're talking. Did I ever tell you that I'm a wiffle ball legend? Jamie : Yeah, a bunch of times. Nathan : Right. You know, when I was your age, your grandpa Dan... he built me a miniature Fenway Jamie : Park in the backyard. Even had a green monster, a pesky pole. It was pretty awesome. And then Grandma Deb made you tear it down because it was so ugly. Nathan : Guess I need so new stories. You all right, buddy? Is there anything you want to talk about? Jamie : I'm fine. I'm just a little busy right now. Don't worry. I still like your stories. Nathan : If you need me, I'm here. Okay? AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Owen : Mouth. Mouth : Owen. What are you doing here? Owen : I'm here to pick up Millie. Mouth : Right. AT TRIC Miranda : Arrgh, me Matey. Grubbs : All right, that... that was terrible. And you are gonna have to work on your pirate speak. But at least we're getting somewhere. Miranda : You know, I did everything on your made-up list of demands. I ate that disgusting egg... Grubbs : It doesn't sound to me like you're working on your pirate speak. Miranda : I ate the egg. I washed your mugs with me hands. Even though they were perfectly clean and didn't need it. Grubbs : There were few water spots. Miranda : And I called your voicemail pretending to be a very satisfied sexual partner begging for one more night. Grubbs : I can't wait to play that in public. Miranda : There. You happy? I did everything you asked me to. So we're good? Grubbs : We're up to a single. Miranda : Most people would kll for a record contract. Grubbs : Here's the thing, Miranda. Writing and performing music for me is like... it's like standing naked in a crowd. Miranda : You're being a little dramatic. Grubbs : Okay, maybe I'm in my underwear. But the point is, I'm still vulnerable. And it wasn't just about a girl. It was about the guy that I became. I didn't like him, and neither did anyone else. And I would rather not see him come back. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Lauren : Hello? Mouth : Hey. Lauren : Hey. Oh, who's playing? Mouth : Syracuse and Virginity Tech. Lauren : Okay, that sounds like an intriguing match-up. Who's winning? Mouth : Owen. Lauren : And Owen is... Mouth : The guy who's out with Millie right now. Lauren : Ahh. And I take it you're jealous? Mouth : Of course I'm jealous. But mostly I'm just worried, because she doesn't need to be hanging out with an addict right now. Especially not the same addict who took her virginity. Lauren : Oh. Ohh, is that why you said Syracuse was playing... Mouth : Yeah. Lauren : Got it. Look, Mouth... You broke up with her, right? So she's gonna live her life. And she should. She can see whoever she wants. But if that bothers you, then just tell her. Because maybe that means it's not over for you yet. OUTSIDE Owen : So, you really think it's over between you and Mouth? Millicent : Honestly, I try not to think about it, 'cause there's nothing I can do right now. Owen : You sure about that? Millicent : I don't know. I mean, the reason we broke up is all my fault, so my hands are pretty much tied. All I can do is wait to be forgiven. I can tell you what I hope will happen, but I have no way of knowing if he'll ever be able to look at me the way he used to. That's why I try not to think about it. Owen : You know, we should do something fun. Millicent : Like what? Owen : I don't know. We'll figure something out. Come on. Millicent : Aww. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Oh, my gosh! Where did you find this? Was it in those boxes? Jamie : Yeah, grandma gave it to me. Haley : Yeah. I haven't see this photo in forever. Look at my hair. I mean, I know it was early morning, but geez. Hey, listen, buddy. I know how hard this must be for you. So, if you need to cry, it's okay. Jamie : I'm not crying for me. I'm crying for you. Your mom's gonna die. The one thing I never want to lose is you or daddy. We're not going anywhere. Haley : I’m not going anywhere, I promise. Lydia : You're taking good care of my daughter. Ooh, I remember the day you came to ask our permission to marry her. You were so nervous. Nathan : Yeah. Lydia : But I looked into your eyes, and I just knew. Nathan : What did you know? Lydia : That were gonna change my daughter's life. And I was right. Nathan : You were responsible for raising the woman that changed my entire world. I'll never forget that, Lydia, ever. Thank you for saying yes. AT THE BOWLING Owen : Oh, come on! That's just not possible. Millicent : What's not possible? Are you referring to my three consecutive strikes or just that particular strike? Owen : All of the above. Millicent : Ah! Owen : Just glad we didn't put money on it. This was a bad idea. Millicent : No, this was a really good idea. Thanks for cheering me up, Owen. I needed it. Owen : God! Millicent : I can't even remember the last time I laughed. Owen : You know he's not gone yet. Mouth. You shouldn't give up on him. And you can't just sit around waiting for him to forgive you. Look, I understand. As an addict, I've ruined a lot of important relationships in my life. That's why, if he's important to you, you got to at least try to get him back. Millicent : I don't know how to get him back. Owen : Just remind him of the girl he fell in love with. Show him you're still that girl... Or that you're working hard to try to find her. You do that, I guarantee he'll look at you the way he used to. Millicent : Do you mind if we get going? Owen : Not at all. You're k*lling me anyway. This is embarrassing. Millicent : Thank you, Owen. AT THE PHONE Quinn : How's it going? Clay : This place is crawling with agents. They're like vultures. Quinn : Well, just remember, you're one of them. Are you circling anyone right now? Clay : I've had a few meetings. I really missed you. I needed to hear your voice. Quinn : Really? Clay : Yeah. Quinn : I like that. And I miss you, too. Clay : Hey, babe, I gotta go. I have a few more players to meet with, but I'm coming home tomorrow. Quinn : I'll be waiting. Bye. Clay : All right, bye. Hey, that was a great match. AT TRIC Haley : Hey, Grubbs. Miranda says you're torturing her. Knock it off, okay? Grubbs : Really? Haley : No. I'm kind of loving it. Hi, friendly faces. Do you guys mind if I play third wheel for a little while? I'm not ready to go home yet. Mouth : Yeah, you just missed my Millie rant. Haley : I want to hear the Millie rant. Brooke : Oh, we've moved on to the Julian rant. Haley : Ooh, great. Can you at least start from the beginning? Brooke : You didn't miss much. I was just saying that sometimes our relationship seems so simple and easy. But no matter what, it just turns into a big mess. And there are days that I want to dive into that mess, but then, other days, I can't help but wonder if maybe we're just two people who don't work as a couple. Haley : But you love him, right? Brooke : Like you don't even know. Haley : Then don't wait. Life's too short to play games. If you love somebody and you want to be with them, then go get them. Deal with the mess later. We don't know what tomorrow will bring. Miranda : Well... here I am. Standing in front of a crowd in my underwear. Brooke : Whoa. Grubbs : Feeling vulnerable? Miranda : I'm hot, and you're talented. And if I can do it, so can you. Which is the reason I'm standing here... because I believe in you. Maybe it's time for you to believe in yourself. Bugger off. AT THE HOTEL BAR Alex : Mmm. Julian : Wow. Alex : Sorry. Bad habit. Julian : You're forgiven. It was a long day. But at least we got through it, right? Alex : Barely. I'm so tired. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be better-rested. Julian : I can't believe a bunch of patio-furniture salesmen kept you up all night. Alex : Actually, it wasn't just the patio-furniture guys. I kind of slept with Alexander last night. Julian : Oh. Alex : "Oh"? Why'd you say it like that? Julian : How did I say it? Alex : I don't know, kind of sad-sacky, like maybe you're a little jealous. Julian : Alex... Alex : I'm kidding. Relax. Let's change the subject. How are things with Brooke? Julian : Obviously, we still love each other. But every time we get too close, one of us puts up a wall. Julian : And it's not easy being on the other side of that wall. Alex : So tear down the wall. Julian : You don't understand. When Brooke Davis puts up a wall, that thing's not coming down until she's ready. Alex : And you have to wait. That's fair. I got to get some sleep. Julian, if I thought you and Brooke were really just friends, Alexander wouldn't have been the one in my bed last night. Good night. Julian : Alex... I'll walk you to your room. AT THE HOTEL Brooke : Hmm. Man : Can I help you? Brooke : I lost my key. I'm staying with my boyfriend, Julian Baker. Man : Oh, well, um, it says here you guys broke up. Brooke : Oh, please, that story is so last week. Man : Oh, thank God. You know what? Can I tell you a secret? Brooke : I wish you wouldn't. Man : I've always rooted for you two. Brooke : Really? Man : Yeah. Brooke : Can I get that key? AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Hey. What's up? Nathan : Just heard from the doctor. There's nothing they can do for her. Haley : Okay. I just thought... Nathan : I know. I know. I'm so sorry, baby. I wish I could change this for you. OUTSIDE Mouth : Hey, I know it's late. I was just thinking... We don't know what tomorrow will bring. Sometimes you just have to go for it, and that's what I'm doing. I want to go out with you... on a date. AT TRIC Grubbs : Um... promise me one thing. If I start to change or if I start to become that guy that nobody likes... Miranda : you won't. I'm gonna make sure u stay exactly who you are... 'Cause that's a person worth protecting. IN THE COURT Clay : Excuse me. Are you Katie Ryan? AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Jamie : Now we can spend Christmas together. Lydia : It's okay, sweetheart. Show me what we got here. Oh, thanks, buddy. Jamie : You got a sword. Lydia : Oh, thank you.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "07x17 - At the Bottom of Everything"}	foreverdreaming
Previously on One Tree Hill Lydia : I have cancer. Haley : Oh, no, no, no. Lydia : It's pancreatic. Brooke : Julian? Mouth : We don't know what tomorrow will bring. I want to go out with you... On a date. Clay : Excuse me. Are you Katie Ryan? One Tree Hill Season 7 – Episode 18 OUTSIDE ON THE SET Paul : What's his problem? Alex : Costume malfunction. Josh : I'm not coming out! Paul : This isn't funny, josh! Josh : No, it's not! Julian : What's his deal? Paul : Maybe he wants to know why his director Is an hour late to set. Julian : No sleep. Don't ask. Josh?! Get out here before I tell everybody who you went home with last Saturday. Josh : This is bull... Julian : Someone find... Brooke! What the hell is this? Brooke : It's the jogging scene. Is there a problem? Julian : The problem, Brooke, is that my romantic lead looks like the love child of Richard Simmons and a village person. Brooke : Well... I guess I made a huge, stupid, unforgivable mistake. Imagine that. Julian : Brooke, this is not the costume we agreed on. Brooke : Well, then, I guess I'm also a dirty, no-good liar. Good morning, Paul. Paul : So that’s it! Josh : No special effects, baby. If you like what you see, that's exactly what I'm working with. Alex : Um, barf. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Lydia : Hey, Tay, it's your mother. Again. Call me, honey. Haley : It smells suspiciously like birthday chicken-dumpling soup in here. Lydia : Well, I was feeling particularly energetic this morning, and it's the least I can do for having missed your birthday. Haley : Well, you didn't miss my birthday, mom. I just didn't get your message because I was at that fundraiser. Lydia : Same difference. We didn't speak on your birthday. First time ever. Haley : Well, I would continue to argue with you, but I really want soup. So can I please stir the dumpling batter? Lydia : Ah, you know you can, sweetie. It's always been a two-person recipe, baby. Haley : Hey, mom. I love you. Lydia : Oh...Good...Lord. You have been saying that every 10 minutes since you learned I have cancer. I'm not gonna keel over in the soup pot, Haley. Haley : Okay. Lydia : But in case I do... I love you, too. Now, let's not be morbid. Stir. AT THE HOTEL ROOM Girl : Dressed to kll at 9:00 in the morning. Either you met a boy or... You met a boy. Katie : I met an agent. A very cute agent. With a very expensive car and a very naked ring finger. Girl : And did this miracle of nature and bachelorhood sign you to his agency? Katie : I'm meeting with him this morning. He'll either sign me or marry me. Either way, this just might be the first day of the rest of my life. ON THE STREET Lauren : S-o-o-o... Shall we get to the elephant in the room? Mouth : Sure. His name is Harold, and he's very sweet. He never forgets, but he's very forgiving. Lauren : Mm-hmm. Mouth : And on that note... I'm really sorry I asked you out. Lauren : It's okay. Mouth : No, it's not. I had too much to drink. And Haley was at Tric giving this kind of "carpe diem" speech that just makes you want to stand on your desk and tear the pages out of your textbook. And I just... I got carried away. Lauren : Well, I was flattered. Seriously. It's just... Mouth : Skills. Lauren : Actually, it's more Millicent. You were just jealous of her hanging out with Owen. Look... I really like you. But I would rather be your partner in crime than your rebound. Mouth : Wheel man or bag man? Lauren : Bag lady. No. Bag...Woman? I'll just take the food. Mouth : Yeah. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Hey. What are you looking at? Nathan : It's your mom's funeral arrangements. She left them here on the desk. It's like contracts. Haley : This is how it ends, huh? With a line-item total. Nathan : Hales, it's okay. I can... I can read through this stuff. Haley : How am I supposed to do this, Nathan? Nathan : The same way you always do... Gracefully and courageously... And with me at your side every step of the way. Okay? Haley : Okay. IN A COFFEE SHOP Katie : So, Mr. Agent... Tell me this is just the beginning of a beautiful relationship. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : "Let's not be morbid"? You left your funeral arrangements lying around, mom. Mom? Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! No, no, mom. Hey! Hey! Nathan! Nathan! Nathan! IN THE DRESSING ROOM Alex : It's just amazing how difference between good a day and a bad day can come down to a good, long... Ouch! Brooke : You were saying? Alex : I was saying a good, long sleep can totally give you an attitude adjustment. You should try it. Brooke : Like it was the sleep. Alex : Oh, you're grumpy because we had sex, aren't you? Brooke : Excuse me? Alex : I told him not to tell you. Besides, it just sort of happened, and then it just sort of happened again and... Ouch! Son of a... Brooke : It just sort of happened. Alex : Whatever. Ouch! Brooke : And then it just sort of happened again. IN A COFFEE SHOP Katie : I know my stats could be better, But I'm training like crazy. And let's be honest... They're better than Anna Kournikova's were at my age. And at the risk of sounding a little conceited, I, like Anna, could make a wheaties box look good. Clay : You're right... On all accounts. I have no doubt that you have a very bright future ahead of you, you know, both professionally and commercially. B-but I-I can't represent you. Katie : I don't get it. Then why am I here? Clay : Because I thought I could. But I can't. And I can't really explain it. I'm sorry. Katie : Well, if you can't sign me... The least you can do is take me out on a consolation date. Clay : A date? Katie : Come on. I saw the way you were looking at me last night. You were practically imagining our babies. Clay : Look, I'm... I'm sorry... Katie : Hey. It's okay. I think you're hot, too. Clay : Hi. When? I'm so sorry. I'm on my way. Yeah. Yeah. Katie : Call me when the fre's put out. Clay : I'm sorry, but that's not gonna happen, Sara. Katie : "Sara"? Clay : Right. I mean Katie. Katie : Who's Sara? Clay : I got to go. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke : Hi, daughter. Hi, mother. How was your morning on the set, daughter? Oh, it was just fine, mother. Fine until the ex love of my life and current bane of my existence made it very clear to me that they did the wild thing last night! This is where the motherly sympathy is supposed to start kicking in! Victoria : Sorry. I've been, um, wasting all my self-pity on me. But if misery loves company, I did get stood up last night. Brooke : Paul stood you up? What a toad! Victoria : I never said it... Brooke : You didn't have to. It is so clear to me that the Julian apple did not fall far from the sleazy Paul tree! AT THE HOSPITAL Lydia : Did I ruin the soup? Haley : Well, that depends on whether or not you think my floor is clean enough to eat off. Lydia : And I was looking forward to that. And in my condition, one can only do so much looking forward. Quinn : It's okay. You're gonna be around long enough to make a lot more soup. Lydia : Hey, girls. It's okay. The doctors talked to me, too. And I know that I... I don't have much time. But it's okay. I had wonderful visits with each of my children. Quinn : It's not fair. Doctors promised you a few more months. Lydia : Cancer doesn't care much for promises, baby. I mean, after all, I promised myself that I would stick around until you two were right with Taylor again. Haley : Well, great. You'll be here forever. Lydia : God. You all were probably too young to remember, but...You three girls were... You were inseparable at one point. I mean, look. Haley : That's a long time ago. Quinn : Yeah. She seems almost human here. Lydia : Two out of three. Ain't bad. Haley : Ain't bad. Lydia : Come here. My sweet things. AT TAYLOR HOTEL ROOM Taylor : You should really call first. Quinn : Mom's dying. Taylor : Yeah, eventually. Quinn : No. Now. She collapsed this morning, and they don't think that... This it it, Taylor. This is the time to say goodbye. Taylor : I don't think so. Quinn : Please stop. Look, I don't know what your problem is. And I-I don't understand you at I don't know when or why you became such a colossal, selfish bitch. But I know that you're my sister. And I love you. And I know that mom wants to see you. And I know that it's the right thing to do. Taylor : Well, you also know that I rarely do the right thing. Quinn : Taylor, please. Taylor : Fine. I tried. Way to go, perfect daughter! What the hell is this? Quinn : That's the real you. The sister you used to be. Taylor : I... I don't want this, Quinn! I don't want this. AT THE HOSPITAL Haley : Well, that must have been some dream you were having. You were awfully smiley. Lydia : I was dreaming about your dad. I woke up smelling his cologne. Huh. Haley : What kind did he wear? Lydia : Stetson. Back when I first met him, He was something of a dime-store cowboy. Haley : A cowboy? Dad? We can't be talking about the same father. Lydia : You'd be surprised what you don't know about that man. Or about both of us, actually. Haley : Like what? Lydia : Oh, I don't know. Haley : Well, come on, like... Did you guys have a song or... Lydia : "Don't think twice, it's all right" by Bob Dylan. Haley : That's a breakup song. Lydia : I know, but it's what was playing in that old Chevy Pickup the first time that we... Haley : uh, uh, "kissed," please. Se."kissed." Lydia : Oh, now, that... That was at a Christmas mixer. Mistletoe... Nat king cole on the record player. Huh. I felt that kiss in my toes. Mm. Haley : And you won his n his heart wir chicken-dumpling soup, huh? Lydia : I won his heart... With a note that I left in his jean-jacket pocket. I won his stomach with my chicken-dumpling soup. Haley : I don't even have the recipe. Lydia : Well, give me a pen. Come on. Here. Now... The secret, as you know... Is to stir the batter slowly. And whole peppercorns. None of that table stuff. And always start with a whole chicken, okay? AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : Hey, Jame! We need to talk, buddy. Jamie : Man to man? Nathan : Yeah. When you were at Andre’s this morning, your grandma got sicker. She's in the hospital now. And, um, she'd like to see you. Jamie : She's gonna die now, isn't she? Nathan : Man to man? Yeah, buddy. Pretty soon. You want to talk about it? Jamie : If it wasn't for grandma, I wouldn't have Chester. Nathan : Didn't your mom and I buy you Chester? Jamie : Yeah, but you didn't really have a choice. Grandma taught me to wish on a star. Nathan : And you wished for Chester? Jamie : Wouldn't you? Nathan : Yeah. Jamie : Can I have a few minutes before we leave? Nathan : Sure. I'll be downstairs with your mom, all right? ON THE SET Julian : All right, let's go, people! Rehearsal's up! Alex : It was crazy-hot. When he finally caught his breath enough to speak, he actually called it a religious experience. I know. But the last girl he was with practically qualifies for a senior discount. I know. Brooke : Julian? Have you called last looks for hair and makeup yet? Julian : No. Why? Brooke : Just trying to be professional. ON THE SET Julian : Alex, you okay? Alex : I'm fine. Ouch. Wow. Ouch. Julian : Get off my set. Brooke : Do you have any idea the kinds of things she has been saying about... Julian : I don't care, Brooke! Get off my set! Brooke : Julian! Julian : I don't care! Brooke : Yeah, I guess you've made that pretty obvious. Excuse me. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : It smells awesome. Haley : It's my mom's recipe. Nathan : You okay? Haley : Yeah, I was just... Where's Jamie? Nathan : He'll be downstairs in a second. Haley. He knows. Haley : I thought we decided we weren't gonna tell him. Nathan : He guessed. Of course he did. He's so familiar with death. Haley : Why wouldn't he? Nathan : Haley. Haley : Ow! Damn it! Nathan : Are you okay? Haley : Mm-hmm. Nathan : Are you okay? Is it bad? Haley : Yeah, it's bad. It's really bad. My mom's dying, and I'm making soup! Because there's nothing else that I can do because I can't stop it because nothing can stop it! Nathan : Okay. All right. Haley : There's just... this is so... There's so many moments and there's so much that go with her when she dies. I don't know what the right questions are to ask. And I don't... I'm not ready for this. I'm just really not ready. Nathan : Nobody ever is. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Alexander : Whoa. You’re all right? Brooke : In movies, you never see how much punching hurts the puncher. Alexander : And who did the puncher punch? Brooke : Alex. Alexander : Because? Brooke : Because I went to Julian’s hotel room last night, and I saw Alex naked in his bed, and I could hear him in the shower. Alexander : Oh, dear. Brooke : Yeah. You said it. Alexander : No, I meant... "Oh, dear, I don't know whose room she was in, but Alex was with me last night. And she was very naked." Brooke : You? Alexander : Yes. Brooke : Not Julian? Alexander : No. Brooke : In Julian’s hotel room? Alexander : Apparently. Brooke : Oh, my God! Alexander : Hey, come on! Look, whatever you've done... How... how bad can it be? ON THE SET Paul : We're completely screwed. We can't sh*t a thing until the swelling goes down. Julian : Okay. Paul : "Okay"? This is a $50,000-a-day operation. Let's do the math before we call it "okay." Alex : I am so sorry. Julian : This is not your fault. We'll just... Paul : Roll with the punches? Julian : Right now your job is to keep ice on that eye, okay? Josh : Uh, looks like we're gonna get a couple days off. You know what's good on a black eye? Alex : If you say, "raw meat," I will tear out your tonsils, tie off your weiner bag, and castrate you like a bull. Josh : Well, you mess with the bull... You know what you get. Alex : That doesn't even make sense! AT THE HOTEL ROOM Katie : Well, well. AT THE HOSPITAL Lydia : I could smell it coming all the way down the hall. Ah, here's the real test. Haley : How's it taste? Is it too salty? Are the dumplings soggy? Lydia : It's perfect. Haley : It's not perfect. I made it myself, and it's a two-person recipe. Lydia : Oh, sweetie. Haley : I followed your recipe to the letter. And when it was finished, I realized that it's not the soup I love. It's making it with my mom. Lydia : Okay. Haley : And now she's leaving me. Lydia : I may have some unconventional beliefs about the afterlife, but I can tell you right now I have no intention of leaving you. You just prepare to be haunted, Haley James Scott. Jamie : Hi, grandma! Lydia : Oh, goodness gracious! When did they start letting squirrels into the hospital? Get on up here, boy. Give your old grandmother a kiss. What you got there, huh? Jamie : "The Handsomest Husky." Mom reads to me whenever I'm sick. It pretty much makes me feel better. You want to hear it? Lydia : I can't think of anything that I would like more. Jamie : “Once upon a time, there was a dog named Andy. Everybody loved Andy. He was very handsome. Andy had a best friend. His name was mike. Andy and mike did everything together.” AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Victoria : Why is the store closed? And why are you lying on the floor? Brooke : I'm trying to pick a place to hang myself. Victoria : Oh, don't be so dramatic. Brooke : Apparently it's best to find a load-bearing beam. I don't think we have one. Victoria : Fine. You want to talk about it? Brooke : What is there to discuss? I'm the donkey in a big, stupid Shakespearean mix-up. Victoria : You're not making any sense. Brooke : Alex slept with Alexander, not Julian. Victoria : Oh. Brooke : So, I ruined wardrobe... Bitched out the one man who makes my world turn... And clocked an interloping hoochie whose only mistake was boning Crocodile Dundee. Victoria : You realize you're overlooking the best part of this... Julian didn't sleep with Alex. And as far as that Shakespearean play, as I recall, the donkey gets turned back into a person once he realizes what an ass he's been. Brooke : You think I should go talk to Julian? Victoria : It's far less tacky than su1c1de. Brooke : Thanks, mom. AT THE HOSPITAL Quinn : Hi, mom. Lydia : Hey. Clay : Hey. How you feeling? Lydia : Ooh, a little tired. What's with all the hardware? Clay : Your daughter and I have been working on something special for you. I'll be right back. Quinn : Okay. Lydia : Now, you know that I loved David, but... I have the same feeling about Clay that I did with Nathan. I think he's one of the good ones. Quinn : Yeah. He's special. I really love him. Lydia : Well, have you told him? Quinn : Not yet. But I think he's pretty clear on that. Lydia : Oh, you do, do you? Well, just in case you haven't figured this out yet, men need to be ht over the head with things. Sometimes frying pans. But mostly love. Don't be afraid to do it. Quinn : Am I that obvious? Lydia : You have always been my heart girl, the one with the most unbridled passions. Just give your head permission to follow your heart, okay? Quinn : Okay. I promise. Taylor : Hi. AT ALEX’S HOTEL ROOM Brooke : Oh, my God! Alex : Didn't know your own strength, did you, bamm-bamm? Brooke : Uh...I was... Alex : You're looking for Julian. Come in. He switched rooms with me last night because the guys In the room next to me were keeping me up with their... Whatever they were doing. Brooke : Which explains why he was exhausted today. Alex : Can I ask why you punched me? Because I know we weren't gonna, like, braid each other's hair anytime soon, but I kind of thought we were okay. Brooke : We were. We are. I... I came here last night, late. You were sleeping, and I guess it was Alexander in the shower? Alex : But you thought it was Julian. I wish. Seriously, I'm not gonna lie to you, Brooke, But it's never gonna happen between us. You know why? Because whether you guys continue to push each other away or not, he knows what it's like to really be in love. I never had a chance. Brooke : Alex, I'm sorry. For everything. Alex : Me too. For everything. AT THE HOSPITAL Lydia : I'm so glad you came. You know it's all right to be upset about all of this. I mean... Lord knows I am. It's pretty upsetting stuff. Taylor : I came to tell you that I'm sorry for being such a disappointment. Lydia : Is that what you think? That I'm disappointed with you? Taylor : Why wouldn't you be? I'm awful. All of my siblings are talented or smart or both. And I'm just Taylor. Nobody likes Taylor. Lydia : I do. Taylor : You have to say that. You're my mother. Lydia : Get over here. Come here. Here is something... That nobody else knows. Of all of my kids, You are the one who reminds me the most of myself. Taylor : I don't believe it. Lydia : Well, that's because you've only known Lydia the mom. But there was a very... Taylor-ish Lydia before that. And that's why I have never had any doubt that you will find your way, because I did. And you can fight this all you want, But you are going to end up happy. Taylor : I've been so awful. How can you still love me? Lydia : Oh, God! My sweet baby. My love for you has never been in question. The only question here is : How long is it going to take for you to love yourself? Because wherever I am, wherever I go from here... I will never, ever let go of you. Taylor : Please don't leave. Lydia : It's okay. It's okay. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Alexander : Victoria, I just want to say... Victoria : Don't bother. I know why you stood me up. You were with that snotty little actress. Alexander : It was just sex. It... Victoria, you and I are different, okay? You and I are... are... Victoria : Finished! Good night, Alexander. AT THE HOSPITAL Jamie : I have a surprise for you. Lydia : I love surprises. What is it? Jamie : Make a wish. Taylor : What's going on? Lydia : An audience. Listen. Taylor : I'm really sorry. I know that I have been a lousy sister. And I totally don't deserve it...But if you could maybe give me another chance. Okay? From now on, I'll be better. Quinn : It's okay. Lydia : Thank you. ON THE SET Brooke : I know I'm banned from the set, but I need to clear something up. Julian : Well, this better be good. That black eye's gonna cost us about 100 grand. Brooke : If it helps, it cost me my dignity. Julian : Brooke, what the hell happened today? Brooke : I thought you slept with Alex. Julian : So, basically, you still don't trust me. Brooke : No. Basically I got jealous. Because I'm in love with you, Julian, and I always will be. And that's gonna make me do stupid things sometimes because love is crazy. And I've been crazy. I know. First, I thought you were falling for Alex, and then, last night, I went to your hotel, and I thought you fell for Alex. I'm sorry. Julian : You think too much, Brooke Davis. AT THE HOSPITAL Quinn : Are you comfortable? Lydia : Yes. Quinn : Okay, mom. Here we go. Lydia : Oh, my goodness. My beautiful babies. IN FRONT OF CLOTHES OVER BROS Victoria : How long have you been out here? Alexander : I like you. Victoria : Okay? Alexander : I know I slept with Alex. But I like you. A lot... I like... AT JOSH’S HOTEL ROOM Josh : Nice job other eye. Not good enough for film, but definitely good enough for sex. Alex : If you talk, I can't pretend you're somebody else. AT THE HOSPITAL Lydia : I guess I did all right, didn't I? Haley : You did everything, mom. Lydia : Hello, handsome. AT MOUTH APPARTMENT Mouth : Come in. Lauren : Hey. Mouth : Hey. Lauren : Okay, look, I wasn't worried about being your rebound, Mouth. I was worried you'd be mine. Mouth : What are you saying? Lauren : I'm saying... Skills : What the hell. Anybody home? Hey, baby. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Jamie : Something smells awesome. Haley : Mm. This is your grandma's chicken-dumpling soup. And you are just in time. Jamie : I am? Haley : Yes. Did you know that this is a very special chicken-dumpling soup recipe that specifically calls for a handsome 7-year-old boy named Jamie to stir the dumpling batter? Jamie : What are the chances? Haley : I don't know. Now, the secret is to stir the batter slowly. And the whole peppercorns, not the table stuff. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Clay : Hey. What's up? Quinn : What's up is that I love you. In case you didn't know. Clay : I love you, too. Nothing's ever gonna change that. AT THE HOTEL ROOM Katie : Did I tell you? I'm gonna get that agent. Girl : He decided to sign you? Katie : Not yet, but he will. 'cause it turns out...I'm his type.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "07x18 - The Last Day of Our Acquaintance"}	foreverdreaming
Previously on "One Tree Hill"... Alex : If you talk, I can't pretend you're somebody else. Grubbs : If I start to become that guy that nobody likes... Miranda : You won't. I'm gonna make sure you stay exactly who you are... 'Cause that's a person worth protecting. Alexander : I know I slept with Alex. But I like you. A lot. Haley : Mom? Lydia : It's time for you to open a studio and a gallery. Haley : Are you okay, mom? Lydia : No. I'm not. I have cancer. I guess I did all right. Haley : You did everything, mom. Lauren : What the hell. Skills : Anybody home? Miss me? Brooke : The ex love of my life and current bane of my existence made it very clear to me that they did the wild thing last night! Brooke : Have you called last looks for hair and makeup yet? Julian : No. Why? Julian : Brooke, what the hell happened today? Brooke : I thought you fell for Alex. I'm sorry. Clay : Excuse me. Are you Katie Ryan? Katie : I met an agent. He'll either sign me or marry me. Either way, this just might be the first day of the rest of my life. Clay : I... I can't represent you. Girl : He decided to sign you? Katie : Not yet, but he will. It turns out... I'm his type. One Tree Hill – Season 7 Episode 19 AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Brooke : Good morning, boyfriend. Julian : What did I do to deserve this? Brooke : It's my big-sht director's last day. I thought it deserved something special. Julian : On time, on budget. Well, sort of, give or take a punched lead actress. But I think it's gonna be a good film. Brooke : Sorry about that. And for the record, it's gonna be a great movie. Great if I don't miss picking up today's wardrobe. I got to run. Do not go long on your last day, Cecil B. Debaker. I need my boyfriend on my arm tonight at Quinn's gallery opening. Julian : You're kind of liking calling me "boyfriend" again, aren't you? Brooke : Yeah. It has a nice ring to it, don't you think? Julian : Brooke... I'm glad we're back. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Quinn : Good morning. You okay? Clay : I see Sara sometimes. I mean, ever since she died, I, uh, I see her sometimes, and we talk. I... I'm not crazy, I promise. It's just lately, since you... Well, I haven't been seeing her so much. Quinn : Is that why no pictures? Clay : Pictures? Quinn : You don't have any pictures of her in your place, and I don't want it to be because of me. It's okay to love her, the memory of her. It won't diminish us. Clay : And you don't think I'm weird for seeing her? Quinn : All I know is if I could see my mom right now... I would stay up all night talking to her. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke : Alexander, where are the changes for today's shting? I'm late! Is it hot in here? It feels hot in here. Alexander / Victoria : No. No. Brooke : Mother. Another button, please. The slutty-milf look is so not you. I have to run. I'll see you guys tonight. Alexander : See ya. Oh, this is... she's gonna catch us. She's definitely going to catch us. This is gonna end badly. We... we got to tell her. Victoria : Don't you worry about a thing. Besides, it's more exciting this way. Now come here. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Mouth : We have to tell him. Lauren : Tell him what? That we kissed? I mean, I'm not even sure what this is. Mouth : Well, it's something. And now with Skills back, it's getting uncomfortable. We need to be honest with him. We owe him that. Lauren : I know. Skills is a great guy, but this is complicated. It is so messed up. I should talk to him. Mouth : No. I need to. He's my best friend. ON THE SET Brooke : Hey. Josh : Someone is so freakin' fired! Man : I can assure you that we looked everywhere, Mr. Avery. Josh : Well, look again! And where is that loser P.A.? He probably took it. Julian : Hey, what's going on? Man : Mr. Avery's laptop computer has gone missing from his trailer. I'm positive that P.A. Brian did not steal your computer. Josh : Okay. Thank you. That's so reassuring. Look, you stick to doing your job, okay? Just checking for hairs in the gate and keeping my trailer stocked with red vines and lube! Julian : Hey, Christian Bale, calm down, okay? Look, I'm sorry this happened, but it's just a computer, okay? The production will replace it. Let's just focus on the work, okay? Josh : I don't give a crap about the computer. It's what's on it. Brooke : Here's your wardrobe. It's gonna be a great last day. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Jamie : I'm bored. Nathan : You can't be bored. You're 7. Do you have any idea how fun being 7 is? Besides, I got a cure for that. Jamie : What? Nathan : Guess who's babysitting you tonight? Jamie : Oh please don’t say Junk and Fergie. Nathan : No. Me. All right? We're having a guys' night, and it's gonna be a blast. Jamie : Aw, sweet! Wait. What about mom? Nathan : Mom is going to Aunt Quinn's art gallery opening, so she's putting on her pretty face right now. Well, her prettier face. IN THE BATHROOM Haley : Okay. One, two... three. AT TRIC Miranda : What are you doing? Why did you stop? Grubbs : It sounds thin. I think we should... take another pass at the vocals, maybe double the chorus. What do you think? Miranda : I think it's great. Let's keep moving. Grubbs : I really think it needs the work. Miranda : The insecure artist thing is cute, but seriously, it's great. Grubbs : I mean, whatever happened to you protecting me as an artist? Miranda : You remember that guy you became the last time you recorded, the one you didn't like? Grubbs : I think he's back. It's great. Push play. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Quinn : Hey. Haley : Hey. Woo. Talk about a work of art. You look great. Quinn : Thanks. Haley : So, you excited for tonight? How do you feel? Quinn : You know, if there's a feeling of being half totally excited and half completely ready to panic, then that's how I feel. Haley : Oh, don't worry. It's gonna be good. You're kind of great at the picture-taking thing, you know. Quinn : Thanks. Well, I'm glad you think so. I wanted to give this to you. Haley : Oh. What is this? Quinn : My way of saying thank you for being there for me this year. I couldn't have made it through without my little sis. Haley : I love it. I really do. Quinn : I just want tonight to go well, you know? For mom. Haley : Yeah. For mom. AT MOUTH’S APPARTMENT Skills : Yeah, well, I didn't see it coming, either. I know, but... I just think it's the best move for both of us. I look forward to hearing back. Okay. Bye. Whoo. Keep your fingers crossed, bro. Mouth : Why? Skills : I just pitched to the company to let me be the east-coast rep. If all goes well, I'm home for good. Mouth : And if they don't, are you back to L.A.? Skills : No. Mouth : Why not? I thought you liked it out there? Skills : I mean, ain't nothin' wrong with Cali. It ain't no place to meet somebody. But it did give me some time to think, and what I came up with was I missed what I had here with Lauren. Mouth : Lauren? Skills : Yep. I'm gonna get her back. Mouth : Have you talked to her about it? Skills : Uh, no. But I'm going to. Mouth : What if they don't give you the job out here? Skills : Then I just quit. Mouth : You'd really leave your job in L.A.? Skills : I would. If I recall, somebody quit their job in Omaha for love, right? Look, Mouth, I had a whole lot of time to think about this, bro. I'm just gonna talk to her tonight. Hey, man. Mouth : Yeah? Skills : Ain't you gonna wish me luck? Mouth : Yeah. Of course. Good luck. AT THE GALERY Clay : You ready? Quinn : Yeah. Clay : All right. One... two... Quinn : It's perfect. Just perfect. Clay : It's gonna be a perfect night. Quinn : Can you believe this crowd? I just hope they like my work. Clay : Relax. They love it. And besides, you... oh. You didn't. Quinn : Do you love it? Clay : I... don't know. It's kind of weird, you know, seeing everyone looking up at a giant version of me. Quinn : Come on. I want to show you something. Clay : What's this? Quinn : So, everyone attending tonight takes their own portrait, and then the camera feeds it to the flat screens in the gallery, so the people tonight are the live art. Clay : That's genius. Quinn : Well, then you're the genius, because I got the idea from you. The slide show that you made for my mom. I love you for that. Lauren : That's a powerful photograph. Mouth : She has a knack for capturing a dramatic moment. Lauren : So... have you talked to him? Mouth : Yeah. I mean, no. Look, I need to talk to you about that because... Skills : Hey. Well, if it isn't my favorite two people. Hey, mouth, you mind if I steal my girl away for one second? IN THE BATHROOM Nathan : Okay, now, I like to start at the bottom and do the neck first. So just real slow. And then when you're done with your neck, you're just gonna start at your sideburns and work your way down to your chin. Jamie : Seems like a lot of work. I'm gonna have to do this every day? Nathan : If you want to attract girls. Jamie : Is this how you got mom? Nathan : It took a lot more than a close shave to get your mom to fall for me. Jamie : Really? Why? Nathan : Well, when I met your mom, I wasn't exactly the nicest guy in the world. It's true. I was a bit selfish, and I fought a lot. Jamie : But you're not like that now. Nathan : Being with your mom made me a better person. You know, now that I think of it, your mom and your uncle Lucas did. Jamie : It must have been fun having a brother growing up. It's like having a best friend over all the time. Nathan : Yeah. But remember, Uncle Lucas and I weren't really that close when we were your age. The important part is we became more like real brothers once we got a little bit older. But you're right. Having a brother is a lot like having a best friend. It helped make me the man I am today. Jamie : And I love that guy. Nathan : I love you, too, buddy. Jamie : So when do I start shaving, dad? Next year? Nathan : Well, if your face is like mine, probably when you're about 22. AT THE GALERY Quinn : You like? Haley : I love it. Quinn : We spent a whole week in that village, and those girls followed me everywhere. They were inseparable. Haley : I think you just made your first sale. Quinn : Yeah? Haley : Yeah. Brooke : I hope she at least gets a family discount. Quinn : The whole Hollywood glam squad. I'm honored you guys came. Brooke : Seriously, Quinn, this is amazing. Haley : Wait. Are you two, uh... Brooke : Back together? Yes. Haley : Oh. Told you. Josh : So, you got any nudes in this collection or... ? Alex : Whoa. Pay no attention to Mr. Inappropriate. Come on, Josh. There must be a bar around here somewhere. Haley : Julian, please tell me this movie's gonna be over soon. Julian : Today was, in fact, the last day. Brooke : We're officially wrapped! Quinn : Well done. That is so major. Julian : Well, thank you. Speaking of major, look at you go. Congratulations. Quinn : Thank you. OUTSIDE Skills : You've been kind of distant since I got home. Look, I owe you an apology. Lauren : Why? What for? Skills : I came home for you because I love you. I can't be apart from you, and I should have never left. Lauren : Antwon... Skills : Please tell me you feel the same way. Lauren : It's just, things are different. I mean, maybe if we'd never split up. Skills : Yeah, but you said you wouldn't come to L.A., so I fixed it. I'm home now. Why can't it just be like it was? Lauren : Because it's not like it was. Skills : Is there someone else? Lauren : I don't know. Maybe. I'm sorry, Antwon. AT THE GALERY Josh : Oh, baby, that's... Alex : I said no talking. Julian : So our lead actors are sleeping together. Here's my surprised face. Where did you even get this? Paul : It was e-mailed to me this morning. Julian : By who? Paul : By someone smart enough to know that you'll do just about anything to protect Alex from this getting out there. Julian, we're being blackmailed. Alex : Julian, what's the matter? Julian : This. Josh : Oh, baby, that's... Alex : I said no talking. Alex : I... I didn't do it. Julian : Oh, that's funny. That sure looks like you screwing him to me. Alex : No. I mean, okay, I did sleep with him. I just... I didn't make that tape. Did you get it from Josh? Julian : No. I got it from someone who's trying to blackmail my father for a ton of money. Alex, why don't you just sht me in the head? It would save us all so much time. That's not fair. No. What's not fair is that I keep trying to find the best version of you, and you just keep showing me the worst version. Mouth : So what did you say? Lauren : I told him I didn't want to go back to the way it was. He was really upset. It was bad. I feel terrible. Mouth : I know I should just take the high road here and let you find your way back to him, but... I really like you, Lauren. Lauren : It's also my decision. And I have feelings for you, too. Do you think Antwon's gonna be okay? Chase : Skills. My man. How you been, buddy? Skills : Thirsty. Four shts. Chase : Four shts. Coming up. AT TRIC Miranda : Well, I mean, there must be something that can be done. How about an extension? Grubbs : Check one, two. Annoying, impatient artist ready to lay down a track. Miranda : So you're telling me there is nothing I can do? Well, that's just great. Grubbs : You know, it only took the Beatles a month to record "Abbey Road." Sorry. You... you okay? Miranda : The record sounds great, Michael. Grubbs : But it looks like I'm not gonna be around to finish it. I'm going back to England. Miranda : Oh, that's funny. Because when you said that we were gonna be working together, Grubbs : I sort of imagined that you'd at least be in the same hemisphere. Miranda : You know what? I'm serious. Believe me, I have tried moving heaven and earth to stay here, but there's a problem with my visa. I'm being deported. Grubbs : And where does that leave us? Miranda : We're scuppered. I'm afraid there's not gonna be an "us." AT THE GALERY Brooke : I cannot believe she's giving him the time of day after he stood her up. And besides, it's gross. Alexander : What's gross? Brooke : The thought of my mother having sex. Blech! Alexander : Yeah, well, I don't think it's gross. I mean, she's an attractive older woman, Brooke. Brooke : Oh, okay. Stop. I cannot talk about my mother and sex with you. It's nice that you're being so sweet about her, but you need to stick to what you know, which is designing super-hot clothes and sleeping with skanky actresses. Alexander : Thanks. AT THE GALERY Josh : Hey, check this out. I kind of like it. Alex : You filmed us having sex? Josh : You found my computer? Alex : No. But someone did. And now Julian and his father are being blackmailed for $1 million thanks to you! Josh : What? Alex : How could you? It's my career. It's Julian's career, and Paul's, and all the people that worked so hard on this film. They put everything they had into this project, and now you've just jeopardized everything. Josh : This is not my fault, okay? My computer was stolen. Alex : Not your fault? Okay. But here's what I don't get... why would you make a tape of yourself having sex when you suck at it?! Josh : At least try to be professional about this. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Jamie and Nathan have fun with Guitar Heroes! AT THE GALERY Julian : This guy? He's laughing at me. Brooke : Why do you say that? Julian : Oh, you ready? Remember all that stuff that was on Josh's computer that he was freaking out about this morning? Wait for it. He and Alex made a sex tape, and now we're being blackmailed to keep it under wraps. Brooke : Oh-ho, no. Julian : Go ahead. You can laugh at me now, too. You warned me about Alex. You told me I shouldn't work with her. Maybe you were right. Maybe I should just let her fail. Hey, the... the tape might even bring the movie some free publicity. Brooke : Hey, whoever said "there's no such thing as bad publicity" was never on a sex tape. Trust me. You have to help her. Look, I know you're disappointed in her right now, but I bet she didn't do this on purpose. And I bet that deep down in your heart, you want to help her. So do it. Julian : You really mean that? Brooke : This is not a test, Julian. Yes. I think you should help Alex. Julian : So he's not laughing at me, then? Brooke : Well, maybe a little. Clay : Chase Adams back behind the bar. Chase : Well, it's only beer, wine, and shts, so I can't do that much damage. Clay : I'll take a beer. Quinn : So, I'm a little jealous now that you'll be spending your days and nights hanging out with some other girl. Clay : What? Quinn : Somebody bought your portrait. She's, um... oh, she's right there. Quinn : I am so excited you like his portrait. Katie : I just love it! And now meeting the subject, well, that makes it all the more special. I'm Katie. Clay : Clay. Katie : I don't want to take up all your time on your special night, and I want to see the rest of your work, so please excuse me. Quinn : I like her. And she seems to like your portrait. I guess I'll just have to get used to letting you be with her. Tonight seems to be going well, huh? Clay : Yeah. Can you, uh, just excuse me for one second? Quinn : Sure. AT TRIC Miranda : I'm sorry. Grubbs : So there's nothing we can do? Miranda : Nope. I have to leave. And sooner than later. Grubbs : Well, I guess it's back to my day job. Miranda : We'll find someone to finish the record with you. I promise. Grubbs : I don't want anyone else. And that's both guys talking the musician and the guy who just needs you. AT THE GALERY Clay : What are you doing? Katie : Oh, I thought I looked hotter as a blonde. What do you think? Clay : I told you I couldn't represent you, and now you show up here uninvited, texting me inappropriately about my girlfriend? I mean, who do you think you are? Katie : Clay... I can be whoever you want me to be. Clay : You need to leave. Now. Katie : I'm sorry. I felt a connection between the two of us. I guess... I guess I was wrong. Julian : Don't. Don't. You're not gonna find any answers in there. Alex : You don't have to do this. Julian : Do what? Alex : Always try to save me. It seems no matter what I do, I mess things up for you. Trust me, I never meant to hurt you or your father or the movie that we just made. But now that the film's over, I'll just get out of your way. Do what you want to do with the tape. I'll understand. Julian : Alex, it's gonna be okay. We're gonna get through it. And you're not going anywhere. We're gonna get through this together. I'm gonna do everything I can to help you. I promise. Alex : Really? Julian : Really. Alex : Thank you, Julian. Julian : Don't thank me. Thank Brooke. IN JAMIE’S ROOM Nathan : "He turned away to give them time to pull themselves together; and waited, allowing his eyes to rest on the trim cruiser in the distance." Jamie : So the boys were saved? Nathan : In the end, yeah. Jamie : I like it when you read to me. Nathan : So do I. Jamie : It was sad when Piggy died. Nathan : I know, man. I like Piggy, too. Jamie : It's good that the boys had each other on the island. It must have been pretty lonely and scary all alone. Nathan : Do you ever get lonely? Jamie : Yeah, sometimes. Nathan : So do you think you'll be okay when I go off to training camp this season? Jamie : Yeah, I guess. I like it better when you're home, though. Nathan : Can I ask you a favor? Jamie : Sure. What? Nathan : Well, even though she doesn't show it all the time, deep down inside, your mom is still very sad that your grandma died. Jamie : Yeah. Nathan : So when I'm away, I need you to just watch out for her, make sure she doesn't get too sad. Jamie : Yeah. Nathan : I need you to be the man of the house when I'm gone. Can you do that for me? Jamie : Yeah. Nathan : Okay. I knew I could count on you. Jamie : Mom's gonna be okay, right? Nathan : Yeah, she's gonna be fine. And besides, now we'll both be taking care of her. All right? AT THE GALERY Haley : Hands off, girlie. That one's mine. Brooke : How you holding up? Haley : I'm good. Brooke : I know it must be hard. Your mom played a big part in this night. Haley : Yeah, it is, but, you know, I think Jamie really helps. It's kind of life's little plan, you know? You have kids so you have something to hold onto when you lose your parents. What's wrong? Brooke : I can't have kids. Haley : What? Have you seen a specialist or... ? Brooke : Yeah, no, I did everything, and... kids aren't in the cards for me. Haley : You cannot give up, Brooke. You never know. Julian : So, what are our options? Paul : It's a tough call. If we do nothing, it could hurt the film, but $1 million is a lot of money. Josh : If it helps, I'm willing to take one for the team. You can release the tape. Julian / Paul : Shut up. Julian : And if the tape does get out? Paul : We just finished making a charming independent movie. For it to work, we need to take it to a major film festival. We need people focusing on your great film, Julian, not a sex tape. This whole thing could really hurt our chances. Josh : I have a really good friend who works at Sundance. I could... Julian / Paul : Shut up. Paul : Whoever's blackmailing us, they're right about one thing... we have everything on the line. Julian : Well, they're also right about something else. I want to protect Alex. She's fragile. And if this tape gets out... It could destroy her. Paul : Well, now it looks like we have $3 million invested in this film. Alexander : Look, we got to tell Brooke, all right? She's got no idea, and I don't think us being together is gonna strike her as a good surprise. Victoria : Now is not a good time. We're on the verge of releasing a very important line, and I need her thinking about business and not us. Alexander : Hey... You're ashamed of us, aren't you? Victoria : Please. Alexander : You are. Victoria : Please! I am not. Look, I told Brooke I was taking a lover. Where's the shame in it being a young, hot guy who's 25 years younger than me who has abs that I can bounce quarters off of, Hmm? You just need to relax. You need to relax. Nobody's ashamed of anybody, okay? Skills : And then she said there was someone else. Chase : Dude, that sucks. Skills : Yeah, but I just don't know who that someone else could... It's you, isn't it? Lauren's "someone else." Mouth : Skills, I was gonna talk to you... Skills : So it's true? Mouth : Yes, but... Skills : Thanks for sleeping with my girlfriend, buddy. Victoria : That's just scandalous. Just simply... scandalous. AT TRIC Gruggs : Your face says "a sh*t and a beer back," but I think this is what you need. Someone get their heart broken tonight? Skills : Yeah. It was my fault, though. I mean, looking back, I had my chance. I just didn't take it when I should have. Now it's too late, and I'll never get her back. Gruggs : I don't know. Never is a pretty long time. Skills : I should have just told her how I felt. AT THE GALERY Haley : Well, all things considered, I thought that went pretty well. Quinn : Um, are you kidding? A fist fight, public sex, and, um, a check for you? It rocked! Haley : Whoa. What is this for? I can't take this. Quinn : Consider it back rent. And thanks, Hales. Thanks for being there for me. Haley : That is what sisters are for. Quinn : Mom would have loved a night like tonight. Haley : Sometimes I flash on the fact that we're never gonna see her again, and, uh... I can't breathe. I just can't believe she's gone. Quinn : I know. We all miss her. Just know, Haley, she was so proud of you. Haley : Yeah AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke : I hope you're proud of yourself, mother. I can't believe that even you would stoop this low to sexually harass an employee to get back at Paul for standing you up on a date? Alexander : Brooke... I am the date. We've been seeing each other. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Haley : Oh woah. Huh. How was your night? Nathan : The best ever. Haley : I don't know where you get it, but you're a great parent. Nathan : I get it from you. You know what I was thinking tonight? Haley : What? Nathan : I want us to have another baby. Hales? Haley : I actually took a pregnancy test this morning. And it... it was negative. Nathan : Okay. Hey, it's fine. We'll... we'll try again. You're okay, right? Haley : I'm fine. I'm fine. AT TRIC Grubbs : So you're leaving? Miranda : I told you, I don't have a choice. Grubbs : Marry me. Miranda : What did you just say? Grubbs : I said, "marry me." Miranda : You've got to be joking. Grubbs : No. I'm serious. You made me a promise, and I'm holding you to it. Marrying me fixes everything. All you have to do is say "yes." AT THE HOTEL ROOM Alex : What do you want? Josh : I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I never should have made that tape, but you got to know that I never meant for any of that other stuff to happen. If there was any way that I could take it back, I would. I just... hoped you could find it in your heart to forgive me. Alex : The movie's wrapped, Josh. And so are we. Goodbye. Josh : Dude, we just said we were getting the tape out there. The plan was never to blackmail these people for money. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Clay : My girl rocked it tonight. Quinn : Thank you. Clay : So, it was some night, huh? Quinn : You sure you had a good time? You seemed like something was bothering you. Clay : Quinn, there's something I need to tell you. Remember the tennis player that wouldn't take no for an answer? Quinn : Yeah. Clay : Well, she is the girl who bought my portrait tonight. Quinn : That Katie girl? I... I don't understand. Wait, you know her? Why do you have a photo with her? Clay : Because it's not her. It's Sara. AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Julian : You showed me something pretty special tonight. Brooke : I'm trying to forget what we were shown tonight, if you don't mind. Julian : Alex. Who would have thought that you, of all people, would rescue her? Brooke : I didn't do anything. You're the one bailing her out. Julian : Thanks to you. Brooke : What? Julian : You remember what you said to me our first night here? Brooke : "What if we ruin it?" Julian : Every night I spent away from you, I dreamed about being back here... in this room, in this bed, with you. I dreamed about us, Brooke. And now we're here. We're back. And you look even more beautiful than in my dreams... I love you. I never stopped loving you... not for one night, not for one moment. And I never will. Nothing can ruin us, Brooke Davis.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "07x19 - Every Picture Tells a Story"}	foreverdreaming

JOSH: You found my computer? ALEX: No. But someone did. And now Julian and his father are being blackmailed for 1 million dollars thanks to you! JOSH: We just said we were getting the tape out there. The plan was never to blackmail these people for money. ALEXENDER: Look, we got to tell Brooke, all right? She's got no idea... VICTORIA: Look, I told Brooke I was taking a lover. You just need to relax. SKILLS: I came home for you because I love you. LAUREN: It's just, things are different. SKILLS: Is there someone else? LAUREN: Maybe. SKILLS: Is you, isn't it? MOUTH: Yes, but... SKILLS: Thanks for sleeping with my girlfriend, buddy. MIRANDA: I'm being deported. GRUBBS: Marry me. MIRANDA: What did you just say? GRUBBS: Marrying me fixes everything. QUINN: Somebody bought your portrait. She's right there. CLAY: Remember the tennis player that wouldn't take no for an answer? She is the girl who bought my portrait tonight. QUINN: That Katie girl? Why do you have a photo with her? CLAY: Because it's not her. It's Sara. NATHAN: Even though she doesn't show it all the time, deep down inside, your mom is still very sad that your grandma died. JAMIE: Mom's gonna be okay, right? NATHAN: Yeah, she's gonna be fine. ONE TREE HILL NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan sleeps but Haley is not any more with the bed. BIG LAKE Haley came to pose a flower in water like own way of thought for his mother. CLINN'S HOUSE Clay and Quinn are sleeping but one sees a shade through the window which looks at them.

BROOKE: Whenever you're passionate about something, your eyebrows tighten up I saw it a lot on set. And even though I think it's kind of sexy, I'm worried about you. JULIAN: Why? Because I'll never win the world poker championship? BROOKE: No. Because when you're passionate about something, you put everything you have into it. Have you stopped for one second to relax?

Considering there are two leads decided to cost the film an extra million dollars with their sex tape. ALEX: Josh made the tape. I just suffered through it. PAUL: You can also suffer through no wrap party. CLINN'S HOUSE Quinn and Clay breakfast. QUINN: It's kind of creepy, right? That this Katie girl looks just like Sara and she bought the picture of you. CLAY: Yeah, it's weird. But maybe it's just that...weird but harmless. QUINN: How come you never told me about her whenever you first met her? CLAY: I'm sorry. I should have told you. You know, but with your mom being sick, it just didn't seem important. As important. QUINN: It's okay. Mean, like you said, hopefully she's just harmless, right? CLAY: Either that or completely psychotic. Listen, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. But just in case, I'll make some calls and see if I can find out more about her. And, babe, I am sorry for not telling you. QUINN: It's okay.

MOUTH: I do. MILLICENT: Then you should talk to Skills. Tell him that. You guys have been friends a long time. I should probably be getting to work. MOUTH: Thanks for stopping by, Millie. It means a lot. MILLICENT: After all you've done for me, it's the least I could do. Can I ask you a question? MOUTH: Sure. MILLICENT: Do you ever miss me? MOUTH: Of course. MILLICENT: Thanks.

Well, I remember a certain someone encouraging me to make up with Peyton... Something about too much history to just walk away. Thank you for that, by the way. If it weren't for P. Sawyer, I would have never met Julian. MOUTH: You're welcome. BROOKE: So, what now? I'm very well versed in girl code, but I thought guy code didn't extend past a high five. MOUTH: Usually. But when a guy really cares about a girl, guy code is pretty much the same. I feel horrible. BROOKE: Well, have you guys talked about it? MOUTH: I tried. He walked away. BROOKE: I'm sorry, buddy. That sucks. MOUTH: Yeah. (Brooke receives a message) BROOKE: "Brooke Davis caught in sex act with boy toy"?! MOUTH: That sucks worse.

LAUREN: We broke up, Antwon. SKILLS: Yeah, but only because of geography. LAUREN: You really think that's all it was? You left. We barely talked. SKILLS: And... and that's okay, but don't put this all on me. LAUREN: But you stopped calling. I didn't even know you were coming home. I have to move on. SKILLS: Yeah, but with my best friend? You must feel guilty. That's why you came over here, right? LAUREN: I came over here to tell you to stop being a jerk to your friend. SKILLS: So, that's it? You're choosing Mouth over me? LAUREN: I didn't choose anyone, but this version of you isn't helping. PEYTON'S OFFICE Miranda gives the last explanations to Haley. MIRANDA: You're not helping. You're not even listening. Haley! Grubbs proposed to me. Do you believe that? I... I mean, maybe I do like him. But like isn't love. And... and like isn't marriage. Anyway, enough about me. We should be focusing on your music video.

You did great work. Maybe your best work. But that won't matter if nobody shows up to see it. You need to keep Josh's...personal life under wraps. Our film is a love story between a guy and a girl, not a guy and a guy. ALEX: I think that's why they call it acting. PAUL: How many openly gay leading men can you name? Doesn't make it right. Doesn't make it okay. It's just the way it is. ALEX: I just don't think it matters. PAUL: I hope it doesn't. But we can't afford to take that risk. Julian can't afford it. JOSH'S HOTEL ROOM Julian wants explanations of Josh. JULIAN: You have until tonight to give Paul his money back. JOSH: What's that supposed to mean? JULIAN: How could you do this to us?

You didn't think we would put two and two together with the extortion? I'd have you arrested, if it wasn't for the film. JOSH: I wasn't behind the extortion. I wanted the tape to get out. My ex-boyfriend is thrat to out me. JULIAN: That's not my problem. JOSH: One bad Indie film isn't gonna kll my career, but a scandal like this could. CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke announced in his/her mother and Millicent the scoop which she saw in the press. BROOKE: A scandal like this could kll us right now. VICTORIA: Oh, stop being so dramatic.

Miranda just keeps shting me down. NATHAN: Haley hated me in the beginning. GRUBBS: How did you change things? What did you do? NATHAN: Nothing. There was nothing I could do. One day, she just decided let me in. You can only do what you do, man. (Miranda joins them) MIRANDA: Nathan, have you seen Haley? NATHAN: I was gonna ask you the same thing. CLINN'S HOUSE Clay is phoning. CLAY(at phone): No, I didn't know that. Can you tell me why Katie was... Yeah, any information would be helpful. And could you have Tanesha give me a call? Great.

You did what? PAUL: I did what was best for the film. We had to cover our investment. Don't take it personally. JULIAN: Don't take it personally? You mean that my father didn't consult me about this? That's kind of personal, dad. And on top of that what about Alex? How could you do that to her? PAUL: It was Alex's idea. CLOTHES OVER BROS Skills comes to talk with Millie. MILLICENT: Hey, Skills.

MILLICENT: Of course I'm upset, but I want Marvin to be happy. So, why'd you come back? SKILLS: I just missed my life here. It's hard starting over in a new place. MILLICENT: It's hard starting over, period. SKILLS: Lauren was my girl. MILLICENT: And Marvin was my guy, but we took them for granted. I guess we made our beds, and now we have to sleep in them.

HALEY (at phone): It all just seems so fake...this idea that good things happen to good people and there's magic in the world and the meek and the righteous will inherit it. There's too many good people who suffer for something like that to be true. There are too many prayers that get unanswered. Every day we ignore how completely broken this world is, and we tell ourselves it's all gonna be okay. "You're gonna be okay." But it's not okay. And once you know that...there's no going back. There's no magic in the world. Least, not today there isn't. Nathan sees Haley sitting on grass in the garden. NATHAN: You've only been going two weeks, and you're already skipping sessions? I don't blame you. It's a nice day. Who'd want to waste an hour in a therapist's office? HALEY: It's 50 minutes, actually. Somehow their hour works out to 50 minutes. If I told you that a half-hour was 20 minutes, you'd call me crazy. NATHAN: We're all crazy, Hales. Some of us just hide it better than others. How'd you like to spend the day, just you and me?

Maybe you can help me. JAMIE: Let's see. "If the treasure you do seek, no one tell and no words speak. Commit no crime but go to court, not for law, instead for sport." What does it mean?

Tell me about something you still love...Or about something you hate... anything. HALEY: I hate traffic. (Haley leaves the car, Nathan joined her) NATHAN: You know what? You're right. It is a perfect day for a walk. CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke comes in the store. BROOKE: Victoria? Alexander? Millicent? (They leave the hall to half undressed) BROOKE: Really!

A famous, gorgeous, rock-star girlfriend. CHASE: Had...as in not anymore. Cheers. NALEY’S HOUSE Haley is on the telephone. HALEY(at phone): Oh, I was thinking about the finality of it all. How somebody can leave your world in the blink of an eye and be gone forever. It's...it's too enormous to think about. It's too hard. And then we're just supposed to go on, right? Like, just...Deal with it. I mean, really you're supposed to be sad for about as long as the flowers last, and then, oh, time to go back to telling jokes and reminiscing about the old days. I don't have any jokes to tell. As a matter of fact, I hope I never hear another joke as long as I live. And the old days are just... that. They're old days that are... gone. MARINA Nathan and Haley sat with the table where they made the first class of tutorial. NATHAN: Check it out.

NATHAN: Yeah. BROOKE: How are you and Jamie? NATHAN: I'm doing okay. I mean, I know she's not herself, but Jamie's struggling with it. He doesn't understand why his mom is not his mom anymore. His whole life, she's been nothing but consistent and sweet. And he can't be too thrilled about his dad turning all of his socks pink. BROOKE: You got to separate the colors from the whites, buddy. NATHAN: Yeah. BROOKE: Other than that, I'm proud of you. You're exactly what Haley needs right now. NATHAN: Well, she's always been everything to us. Now it's time for us to be her everything. In sickness and in health, right? For better or worse. CLINN’S HOUSE Clay looks at it video of his marriage with Sara.

I found another one! "Another clue is waiting near. First you must get past the fear. Not on a hill or up a mountain, make a wish into the... " QUINN: The what? JAMIE: It doesn't say. "Not on a hill or up a mountain, make a wish into the... “Fountain! People make wishes in the fountain! QUINN: Yes! JAMIE: But which one? "First you must get past the fear... “Fear." QUINN: The River! It's the Cape Fear River! JAMIE: The fountain! Come on, Aunt Quinn! Hurry! CLUB TRIC Julian joins Alex and Chase with the bar. ALEX: Hey. Tell me you're here to celebrate. JULIAN: Nope. At this point, more people are gonna see your sex tape than this movie. ALEX: First of all, don't be mean. Second of all, shouldn't you be editing? JULIAN: I'm taking a break. ALEX: No, you're pouting, is what you're doing. Just like good old chase here. JULIAN: What are you pouting about? And I'll take a beer. I've heard about your mixed drinks. CHASE: First of all, don't be mean. Second, I'm pouting because of this. JULIAN: "I don't think it's fair to you that I'm on the road most of the year and that my schedule changes all the time. It's not fair to either of us. I wish things were different, but they aren't. I'm sorry." Mia broke up with you by text message? CHASE: Mia broke up with me over a series of text messages. JULIAN: Texting's evil, man. I got this theory that if the phone was invented after texting, we'd all be like, “this is amazing! You can actually hear their voice!" And nobody would text. CHASE: Yeah, it's not so much the texting part, but the break-up part that bothers me. JULIAN: I'm sorry. That's too bad. Mia's a rock star. Literally. ALEX: A really fine rock star. I'd totally sleep with her. CHASE: Can you guys just drink your drinks and go? ALEX: I'm sorry. It's hard to date someone in the entertainment industry. I mean, we're mostly gypsies, you know? We're never home. We're all needy as hell. JULIAN: Where is she right now, anyway? CHASE: I don't even know. Paris... Spain. ALEX: Tric. (Mia is of return downtown) MIA: Hi. FOUNTAIN Quinn and Jamie seek the third clue. JAMIE: Do you see it? QUINN: Not yet. JAMIE: Maybe this is the treasure. QUINN: That's other people's wishes! Put it back! JAMIE: Sorry. Look! There!

(Jamie and Quinn remove clothing to seek the index in the fountain) QUINN: You ready? JAMIE: Yeah. GUARD: Hey! Get out of that fountain! QUINN: Hurry! Come on! JAMIE: I got it! It's a clue! QUINN: Come on! NALEY’S HOUSE Haley is at phone. HALEY (at phone): I have to tell myself to just be happy, but... I don't feel happy. And when I try to change it, when I try to remember what being happy felt like, I... can't. I...Don't feel joy, I don't feel inspired. I feel numb. CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke arrives at the store with Haley. Victoria is already here. BROOKE: Hi. VICTORIA: Hi, darling. Hello, Haley. HALEY: The last time I saw you, you were ruining my sister's exhibit. VICTORIA: Oh, look at you go. But you know you're talking to the queen of mean, sister. So you're gonna have to do better than that. BROOKE: Mom. HALEY: I'm gonna be outside. VICTORIA: Haley. Haley, listen to me. I know you're in a great deal of pain right now, but I also know that you're aware of the choices you're making. So I want you to listen to me, and then you can say something snarky or dismissive and be on your way. But, please, sit. Please. Come on. Please. (They sit down) VICTORIA: Your mother was proud of you. And it would break her heart to know that her beautiful, kind, inspiring daughter was suffering like this. I know that because I'm a mother. And so are you. Now, our lives are difficult, and our loss unbearable sometimes. So grieve...and struggle, and you find your way back on your own terms and in your own way. But remember this...your mother would want you to be vibrant and inspiring in the face of her losing her. She'd want you to fight your pain with all you've got. Because that's the daughter that she raised. That's the daughter that she loved. BOAT WITH THE ABANDONMENT Quinn and Jamie try to find clue. JAMIE: "Every castle has a moat, every pirate has a boat. Find the clue near tugboats red, in the ship that's sleeping dad.” "Sleeping dad." I'd say that boat is sleeping dad. QUINN: Oh, yeah. Be careful! Goof. CLUB TRIC Chase and Mia talk outside. CHASE: When'd you get back? MIA: About an hour ago. Miranda needs help running the label while Haley's not feeling well. And I wouldn't have a career if it weren't for Red Bedroom, so I told them I wanted to help out. CHASE: I'm sure they appreciate it. So, you'll be around here for a while. MIA: I think so. Yeah. CHASE: That's good. MIA: You got to delete those texts. CHASE: Yeah. I did. MIA: No, you didn't. CHASE: How do you know? MIA: Because I know you. You've been sitting around reading the same words over and over, and it's not good for you. CHASE: I don't know how it happened, so I keep reading what we said...well, what we wrote...Hoping that when I get to the end, maybe the ending will be different. But...It's always the same. MIA: Does it help if I say I care about you and I always will? CHASE: Nope. It just reminds me how beautiful you are. And that just kind of makes it worse. MIA: It'll be okay. By the way, who's running the bar right now? It’s Alex who is bartending. ALEX: I could totally get used to this bartending thing. Check it out. (She makes fall glass from beer) JULIAN: Nice. Nice. ALEX: So, what's the big deal about this film festival anyway? JULIAN: It'll help us sell the film. ALEX: Which you're gonna do because it's good, but let's play "worst case scenario." What happens if the film doesn't sell? Then what? JULIAN: I get some rope and a ladder. ALEX: Okay, normally not funny, but considering you're talking to a person who actually attempted su1c1de, really not funny. JULIAN: Right. Sorry. If the film doesn't sell, then all that work will amount to nothing. ALEX: Nothing. You mean like "working with your father, getting Brooke back, and saving my life" nothing? Whatever happens, this movie will always be the greatest thing that ever happened to me. It saved my life. You saved my life. And I got to watch a truly amazing director direct his first film. I'd say that amounts to a little bit more than nothing. JULIAN: Wow. You know what? You're absolutely right. Thank you, Alex. All right. I got to go work on our movie. BOAT WITH THE ABANDONMENT Jamie found the last clue in the boat. JAMIE: I found it! QUINN: What? JAMIE: It's in this bottle. QUINN: Nice work, buddy! Stand back while I break it. Watch your eyes. JAMIE: Okay. QUINN: Okay, let me get it. Here. JAMIE: "In your hands this final clue, if you know just what to do. Place it with the other three, and the treasure you will see." I don't get it. QUINN: Well, remember the design on the back? JAMIE: It's a map! QUINN: Mm-hmm. There's the Rivercourt, the fountain, and the sleeping boat. I know where the treasure is. Come on! CLINN’S HOUSE Clay looks in the businesses of Sara. He receives a call. CLAY: Hello? BRIDGE CLOSE TO THE BEACH Clay arrives and sees Katie, fixed on the bridge, lends to jump.

GRUBBS: I'm going with you. MIRANDA: Michael... GRUBBS: I know it's only been a few weeks. I feel like you could love me, and I know that I could love you. MIRANDA: Michael, listen to me. You have a record to finish, and I have a life to live, and that's okay. I have to leave, and you have to stay. GRUBBS: You're wrong. You have to go. I don't have to stay. I want to go with you. MIRANDA: But you don't understand! I don't want you to come! I'm sorry, Grubbs. Goodbye. DRILL Jamie and Quinn seek the exact position of the treasure. JAMIE: It's got to be around here somewhere. QUINN: I don't know, Jame. Maybe we're in the wrong spot. JAMIE: Look! Treasure! QUINN: Yes! JAMIE: Come on. (Jamie starts to dig with his shovel) NALEY’S HOUSE Nathan looks at the invoices of telephone. He is astonished. BRIDGE CLOSE TO THE BEACH Clay tries to talk with Katie. KATIE: You told me to never come back. CLAY: I know I did. But I was wrong. I'm... I'm just gonna be here, okay? KATIE: I'll jump. I mean it. CLAY: No, you won't. You wouldn't have jumped off that bridge in college if I hadn't been there to hold your hand. KATIE: You said you didn't believe me. CLAY: I was just afraid of loving you again. The way that I used to and the way that I still do. KATIE: Tell me you love me, Clay. Tell me you love me and that you believe me. Please. Or I'll jump. CLAY: Don't. Okay? Sara, don't leave me again. I love you. Just take my hand...and we can be together. Please? On the count of two? One... two. It's okay. You're okay. See? I finally have you back. (The police officers can now encircle Katie) KATIE: No! Stop it! Clay! CLAY: It's okay, Katie. They're gonna help you. KATIE: Wait. You called me Katie. But I'm Sara! You said you loved me! CLAY: No, Katie. I love Quinn. Sara's gone. DRILL Jamie tries to leave the treasure. QUINN: Yes! JAMIE: Oh, yeah! We found it! QUINN: No, you found it. It's all yours. JAMIE: Really? QUINN: Open it up. JAMIE: Oh, I wish mom was here. QUINN: Me too. JAMIE: Oh. Treasure! Oh, it's so cool! Look at all those dimes. Oh, this is crazy! QUINN: Sweet! JAMIE: Cool. QUINN: Look at this one. Yeah! JAMIE: I don't think we should keep it. QUINN: Why not? JAMIE: Well. I was thinking...The Goonies wanted to save their homes. That's why they needed the treasure. So, maybe someone needs this more than I do. Having a home is important. QUINN: I think that's wonderful. But are you sure there's not anything you want to keep? JAMIE: Um... maybe just one thing. I just want mama to be okay. That's all I want. QUINN: Me too. Come on, let's get this buried again. CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke talks with her mother. BROOKE: It's nice, isn't it? I remember when you found out I was opening this store. You were not very happy. And you like it here. VICTORIA: In Tree Hill? Please. I like being near my daughter. BROOKE: Yeah, if that's your story. So, be honest with me. Should I let Alexander run Clothes For Bros? VICTORIA: No, you should let Millicent run Clothes For Bros. Alexander's a designer. He should be designing. BROOKE: Have you told him that? VICTORIA: I thought I'd tell him in the next few days. Why spoil the next few nights? BROOKE: Maybe you're afraid of committing to him. Of having him in New York and in your world every day. Of falling in love. VICTORIA: He's a boy, Brooke. No one's falling in love. BROOKE: He is. I'm gonna miss this. The best part about this company has been building it with you. Spending time with you. I used to dream about it. Thank you, mom. VICTORIA: Thank you. My beautiful daughter. This mascara is defective! BROOKE: They're called tears, mother. You can feel them because the botox is wearing off. VICTORIA: You're such a little bitch! And I mean it in a good way. BROOKE: Alexander's a good guy...And he is a good designer, and the line wouldn't be the same without him, so I'm gonna give him the job. He'll report to you, of course, and Millicent will be the vice president. VICTORIA: You're the boss. So you really think he's... falling in love? BROOKE: I do. VICTORIA: That would be kind of nice. I'm a...I'm so proud of you. And I love you. BROOKE: And I love you, too. See you soon. VICTORIA: Okay. RED BEDROOM RECORDS Grubbs plays a piece. Miranda, other with dimensions of the part, intends him to play and leave without him to say goodbye. RIVERCOURT Quinn hung the chart of the treasure to balloons so that it flies away. Jamie will launch them. QUINN: There you go. JAMIE: Thank you, Aunt Quinn. QUINN: For what, handsome? JAMIE: For all of this. I know you did it all for me, and it was one of the best days I ever had. Thank you. I love you. QUINN: Mm, I love you, too. We all do. Okay, you ready? BRIDGE CLOSE TO THE BEACH Katie is arreted. Clay speaks with a police officer.

NATHAN: Hey! QUINN: Jamie's asleep, and I think Haley is, too. You okay? NATHAN: Your mom had a cell phone. Do you know where it is? QUINN: Yeah, it's in a box of stuff at the gallery. Why?

HALEY (at responder): I know you're gone...and you're not coming back, but...I was just thinking, maybe...somehow I could see you again or be able to talk to you or hear your voice. NALEY’S HOUSE Jamie puts on the bed of his mother a pretty drawing with the star which he kept. HALEY (at responder): I snapped at Jamie today again. And he didn't deserve it, and I don't know why I did it. I just did. He deserves better than who I am right now. And so does Nathan. QUINN’S GALERY Nathan is astonished by the remarks that Haley in his messages holds.

AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Jamie : Hi, mama. How you feeling? Haley : Come here. What was that you were saying the other day about wanting to see snow? Jamie : Well, aunt Brooke says it's snowy in Utah, and that's where Julian's movie is playing. And everyone's going. Haley : Everyone, huh? Jamie : Yeah. Haley : Maybe you should try this on.

It's a good life. IN FRONT OF THE NIGHTCLUB Alex : Alex Dupré.? Man : Right. Maybe two rehabs ago. Back of the line. Hey, hold up. I like that coat, man. Skills : Oh, that's what I'm talking about, baby. Okay... him, him, and the ladies, they with me. Thanks. Not him. Man : Back of the line. Let's go. Skills : Nah, I'm just kidding. He with us, too. Man : All right. Come on, man. Hurry up. Skills : People love the coat, baby! Oh. Dang. ON THE FLOOR Clay : Stop worrying about her. Quinn : What? Clay : You're worrying about Haley. All right, look... she's with Nate. She's fine. Besides, I got you a few things. White wine. Quinn : Thank you. Clay : And a kiss, because my baby looks amazing tonight. And, last but not least, a spare key to the house, because you lose things. Quinn : I do not lose things. Clay : Look, just put it outside somewhere. Quinn : You know what? I'm gonna keep my white wine. And you can have your kiss back. But I don't need the key, because I don't lose things. Skills : Who want to dance? Quinn : I do. Chase : Where's your, uh, "boyfriend" tonight? Alex : I'm looking at him. Chase : You're the devil, aren't you? Alex : Why? Chase : Because you know I just broke up with Mia. Alex : So? Chase : So I'm taking off, devil Dupré. And I'm locking my door. Skills : She was sexy until she started dancing. Quinn : Lose the bat? AT RED BEDROOM RECORDS Mia : How you doing? Grubbs : I gave this flower to Miranda. It's just another thing she left behind. Mia : Doesn't mean she doesn't miss you. Grubbs : There's just so much that I wish I would have said the last time I saw her. Mia : What did you say? Grubbs : Nothing. Mia : Then say it in here. You know, write one more great song. Let's finish this record. Grubbs : Then what? Mia : Well... if I was you... I'd start my tour in London. And I'd water that orchid. Grubbs. I know it feels bad now... but it's gonna get better. One more song. IN CLAY & QUINN’S ROOM Clay : It was a good night tonight. Whoa And now it's a better night. Quinn : I think you were right about me losing stuff. I seem to have, uh, lost my clothes. Clay : Where you going? Quinn : Now I've lost my way to the bed. Guess I'll just have to sleep somewhere else. Clay : No. She's good. She's good. IN ALEX & JOSH’S ROOM Josh : I made a place for you on the floor. Alex : Right. Shut up and scoot over. Josh : I thought maybe you'd end up in Chase's room. Alex : I tried. He locked the door. Josh : I know. I tried, too. Alex : Do you ever think about coming out? Josh : My dad's a football coach, Alex. And my mom... my mom's a football coach's wife. She loves this version of me... the leading man. So... Alex : Well... For what it's worth, if I was a mom, I don't think there could be any words that would ever make me stop loving my child. Unless, of course, those words were "mom and dad, I secretly made a sex tape." Josh : It's amazing how much I hate you. IN NATHAN & HALEY’S ROOM Nathan : Jamie had a blast today. The guys built him a snow fort. I know that you came here just for him. I do. And I love you for that, Haley. Haley : Please don't think that I take that for granted. I'm so grateful for... who you've been through all of this. And how you've been. Nathan : There's no other way for me to be. You've saved me so many times. I worry that I've been selfish with you. That I've taken advantage of your strength and your selflessness... And that I've... I've broken you somehow. Haley : No, no. You haven't. You didn't. I just have a weight in my heart now that I didn't have before. It was lighter today, though. OUTSIDE Quinn : It's beautiful, isn't it? Haley : Yeah. It makes me think of mom. Quinn : She would have liked it. Haley : Yeah. Quinn : Well, you know mom believed in reincarnation, right? Haley : So I think we'll see her again. What do you think she'll be? Quinn : Different. I think she'll be an owl. A beautiful, majestic, sarcastic owl. Haley : I just wish she could be here again. IN THE SKILIFT Alex : I can't believe you actually locked your door last night. Chase : I can't believe you actually tried to get in. Alex : Would that be so bad? Chase : Says the girl who just wants someone normal and reliable. You said that at Tric. Alex : You were listening. Chase : Of course I was listening. I'm a bartender... manager. Alex : And almost pilot. I was listening, too. I'd crush out on you, and then you'd be gone. IN THE SNOW FORT Jamie : Hi, mama. Come on in. You like it? Haley : Oh, I do like it. This is great, buddy! Oh, my goodness. What do you like about it? Jamie : I like that it's quiet. It feels kind of safe in here. Haley : That's smart, kiddo. So, listen... I was thinking about going into town and buying a dress for tonight. What do you think? You want to, uh, get a suit for Julian's premiere? Jamie : Can I pick it out myself? Haley : Yes. Jamie : Okay. Haley : Okay. It's a really cool fort, Jame. Jamie : Yeah. IN UTAH HOUSE Quinn : Clay? "No cellphone coverage. Went to lunch at the diner on main. Come by, unless you've lost your appetite." Hot tub. Oh... beers… Key. AT THE RESTAURANT Clay : Why? Uh... What happened? Quinn : Key. Clay : She loses things. MAKING SHOPPING Jamie : Mama, I found my suit. Haley : Well, that is quite a suit of clothes. Jamie : I really like it. Can I get it? Haley : Yes. Absolutely. And you know what? Jamie : What? Haley : Your grandma would have loved you in this suit. Just no bullfighting, okay? Jamie : No problem. Bullfighting is caca del toro. Haley : Okay. Jamie : Hey, mama. You're pretty when you smile. I missed it. Haley : Thanks buddy. IN THE HOUSE ROOM Brooke : Are you ready? Julian : My whole life, my hair's been out to get me, like it resents my forehead for taking up too much room. Brooke : Stop. You look nice. Julian : Maybe I should wear a hat. Like a beret. Or a fez. Brooke : Hey. The movie is great. And you are great. And you look so handsome that we need to get out of this bedroom, or you're gonna miss your premiere. Julian : What would I do without you, Brooke Davis? Brooke : Well, for starters, you'd wear a fez. Not okay. Come on. Your dad and your destiny are waiting. AT THE PREMIERE Paul : Thank you. Welcome. Uh, when my son Julian called me and asked me if I wanted to make a movie with him, I thought it might be a nice chance to reconnect. But that was that was wishful thinking on my part, because I was gone so often while he was, uh, growing up that we never really connected in the first place. And that's a shame. Whenever I finish a movie, I... I have this expression... "Let's kick it out of the nest... and see if it flies." Well, son, we kicked you out of the nest. And it has been a pleasure watching you soar. I hope you all agree. Julian : I'll see you in a bit. OUTSIDE Alex : Julian. It's starting. Julian : Yeah, I know. I think I'm just gonna wait till it's over. Alex : Those were some nice things your father said about you. Julian : Yeah. Alex : You sure you don't want to come back inside? Julian : Yeah, but you should go watch it with an audience. I want you to see how good you are as an actor and a writer. Alex : I was in good hands. And everything's gonna be okay. You know why? Because it already is. Nathan: Opened with a sex scene. Nice work, Polanski. Good luck explaining that one to the kid. Jamie : You're not watching it either, huh? Julian : Nope. Jamie : Were you grossed out, too? Come on. We should go get a drink. AT THE BAR Jamie : I don't get it. You made a movie with no animation, no stunts, no cars that transform into stuff, no aliens, and no rabbits. Julian : Yes, I did. Jamie : What the heck else is there? Julian : Romance? Jamie : I don't think anyone wants to see that. Julian : Yeah. I'm not sure anyone wants to buy it, either. Jamie : Here. It helped my mom. It's good luck. You're gonna need it. Julian : What do you know? You're 6, and you're drinking at a bar. Jamie : 7. Julian : Nice. Nice work, el borracho. AT THE PREMIERE Alex : I'll tell you something I am sure of. We're all afraid. Some of us find ways to hide that fear, and some of us don't. But we've all got "it," you know? And it's always there. Josh : And what's your "it," Elise? What are you afraid of? Alex : I'm not afraid of anything. I have you. Josh : You were good in that scene. I'm tired of being afraid. OUTSIDE Jamie : It's still packed in there, so at least nobody left. That's good, right? Julian : What's happening on-screen? Jamie : Hold on. I'll check. They're kissing. They've been doing a lot of that. Seriously, you could have used a robot or something. I think it's almost over. Julian : It is. Right about... Now. Jamie : They're clapping! They liked it! Come on! IN THE LIVING Paul : Good news. The screening went great, and we have buyers interested. The best of the bunch are on their way down. I got you a beer. Now, look... no matter what their initial offer is, I think we can get them up to $4 million. Julian : That sounds great. Paul : Just let me do the talking, all right? Julian : I won't say a word. Man : $2.5 million. Julian : Deal! Paul : 3. And a haircut for the kid. Man : Deal. Woman : Josh, this movie firmly establishes you as a leading man. You and Alex have amazing chemistry. Is it because you're together in real life? Josh : Well... actually, there's something everyone should know. We're not together. The thing is... I... I'm just excited about how many hot single women are gonna love this movie. OUTSIDE IN UTAH Guys : Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Nathan : Nice! IN THE SNOW FORT Brooke : Is this the V.I.P. snow fort? Haley : You don't have to check on me. I'm fine. Brooke : I'm not. I needed fresh ice... For my cocktail. OUTSIDE IN UTAH Guys : Jump, jump, jump. Skills : What's up? Damn, it's cold. Anybody seen my coat? Jamie : Bear! Do you think it's hibernating? Skills : Nah. I think it's just passed out. Okay, here's what you're gonna do. Take this ski pole and jab it real hard. Jamie : I don't want to hurt it. Skills : It's too dumb to get hurt. Trust me. Go ahead. Mouth : Ow! Son of a... Jamie : It talks! Aw, man. IN THE HOTEL ROOM Alex : You leaving? Josh : Yeah. Thought I'd fly to Denver. Alex : What's in Denver? Josh : My parents. We need to talk. Alex : I think that's a really good idea. Josh : I hope so. Josh : Anyway... I'll see you, Dupré? Alex : It's "Whitehead." Alice Whitehead. Josh : Alice Whitehead? That's a horrible name. Alex : Shut up. Anyway, I guess we all have our secrets. Believe it or not, I'm really gonna miss you. Josh : I'm gonna miss you, too... Alice. OUTSIDE IN UTAH Julian : It's pretty magical, isn't it? Brooke : It's so beautiful. This whole trip has been perfect. Julian : Well, I have to admit, I had a little help. Last night at the bar, Jamie gave me a gold star for luck. You want to see it? Brooke : Yeah. Julian : Oh, wait... that's not it. That's the engagement ring I got for you. Where did I put that thing? Everyone says that the next thing I do, the next choice I make is going to define me... my career... my life. Well... The next thing I want to do is ask you to be my wife and tell you how much I love you and how nothing else matters. When I look into your eyes, Brooke, I see the rest of my life. And I see it with you. Marry me, Brooke Davis. Brooke : Yes. Okay. I want to so much. Julian : I was hoping you were gonna say that. ON THE SNOW FORT Haley : Come here. Jamie : Oh, mom, you're squishing me. Haley : Oh, I'm sorry for squishing you. Let's go sledding. Do you want to? Jamie : Totally. I'll go tell everyone. Haley : Okay. Jamie : Dad, we're going sledding! Nathan : All right. You okay? Haley : No. But... I will be. IN THE HILL Nathan : What do you think, Calvin? It's a long way down. Jamie : Piece of cake, Hobbes. Let's do this. Jamie : It sure is a long way up, mama. Haley : No, it's just a hill. Come on. We'll climb it together. AT THE HOTEL ROOM Chase : You know, I don't think you're actually supposed to replace stuff in your hotel room. Alex : Oh, whatever. I'll be out of here soon, anyway. Think I might get a place of my own... maybe stick around a while. Chase : Sounds kind of normal and s*ab. Alex : There. Perfect. Well... almost. Say you'll go out with me, and then it will be. Chase : Okay. Yes. AT BROOKE’S HOUSE Brooke : You know what I like best about the movie? Julian : What's that? Brooke : You get the sense that they're all gonna live happily ever after. Julian : They are. AT SCOTT’S HOUSE Nathan : You okay? Haley : These aren't sad tears. They're happy tears. Nathan : All right, well, how about from now on, we do smiles for happy instead? What is it? Haley : I'm pregnant. I think it's gonna be a girl. Nathan : Oh, my... Haley : Nice work, daddy. AT CLAY’S BEACH HOUSE Clay : You're falling asleep. Why don't you go to bed? Quinn : I like it here. Clay : Yeah, I like it here, too. But you sleep like a rock, and you're too long to carry. Quinn : You're mean. You say I'm too long, and you say I lose things. Clay : But I also love you. And the truth is that without you, I'd be the one who's lost. Quinn : Nice save. I love you. Clay : I love you, too.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "07x22 - Almost Everything I Wish I'd Said the Last Time I Saw You"}	foreverdreaming
RIVERCOURT Halley, sitted on a table, writes a letter with Lucas. HALEY(voice-over): Dear Lucas, I know that I could call you or e-mail you or skype you or whatever, but there's something about putting pen to paper that feels...Right for us. It seems these days I have so many thoughts in my head that if I don't get them out, I might explode. I wanted you to know that Tree hill misses you, the Rivercourt misses you... And I miss you. ALEX'S HOTEL ROOM Chase discusses with Alex. CHASE: You know, I don't think you're actually supposed to replace the stuff in your hotel room. ALEX: Oh, whatever. I'll be out of here soon anyway.

NATHAN: It's like a dream. This night. The way you look and the way you are. My life. Tomorrow I leave for my job in the NBA. I leave this house that I own, my miracle of a son, my wife who is so far out of my league, I hope she never figures it out. Yeah, I want a daughter just like you. I want to look into her eyes and feel my heart break because she reminds me so much of her beautiful, kind, strong mother. HALEY: Mm... What if we have a boy? NATHAN: Then we'll sell him, try again. I missed that laugh. HALEY: Aww. NATHAN: Are you feeling okay, baby? Are you feeling less of that weight, that darkness? HALEY: Yeah, I feel like me. And I feel like yours. That feels good. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian and Brooke are lying. JULIAN: Where'd you go? BROOKE: I was thinking about Jamie's snow fort. Peyton and I used to build snow forts. And we'd sit inside and worry about what our worlds were gonna be like. It's like we'd hide from it all. But I think if we could have seen. What our lives were gonna be, we wouldn't have believed it... How lucky we'd be... How lucky we are. All of us. JULIAN: That ring looks sexy on you. BROOKE: You look sexy on me. JULIAN: Mm. I've been thinking about this whole "we're not able to have a baby" thing. And I was thinking maybe we should try for a few hours. BROOKE: Oh. Oh. JULIAN: And then try again for a few more hours. BROOKE: Uh-huh. JULIAN: And then I'll wake you up in the morning, and we can try all day tomorrow. BROOKE: Sounds perfect. That's good. JULIAN: I know you, Brooke Davis. BROOKE: You sure do.

You'll be a big part of the reason why I'm ready. JAMIE: Yeah, I know. NATHAN: You don't seem too excited about that, buddy. JAMIE: No, I am. I mean, I'm glad you're a bobcat. I just wish you didn't have to leave. NATHAN: Yeah, I know, Jamie. Okay. You ready? JAMIE: Mm-hmm. NATHAN: All right. JAMIE: Do you think the other bobcats do this workout? NATHAN: I don't know, buddy. Probably not. Ohh. One more. All right. You ready? Uh-huh. Hey, so, uh, I was thinking you might want to come out on the road with me this season. JAMIE: You mean with the team? NATHAN: Yeah. You just got to keep your grades up, help your out around the house like I know you can. JAMIE: Oh, I will. NATHAN: Attaboy. Oh, and, uh...

Hello. Whoops? BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke looks at magazines of marriage, Julian awakes. BROOKE: Good morning, fiance. JULIAN: Oh, no. Not again. BROOKE: "Not again" what? JULIAN: This happens all the time. I sleep with a girl, and then the next morning, it was so amazing, she starts planning the wedding. BROOKE: Be careful, mister. Speaking of, Peyton says hi. JULIAN: Oh. Ouch. BROOKE: Mm-hmm. JULIAN: By the way, we don't need any of this stuff because I've been planning my dream wedding since I was 9. BROOKE: Seriously? JULIAN: Pink-and-black color scheme, first dance "hopelessly devoted to you," peonies for the flowers, and a pineapple orange torte cake. Did I mention I loved "grease 2"? BROOKE: I'm sorry I'm gonna have to disappoint you, princess, but this bride will be wearing A clothes over bros original, the flowers will be exotic white roses, our first dance will not be to a song by Olivia newton-john, or Elton john, or lil' jon for that matter. But you might be able to talk me into that orange pineapples cake. If I don't decide to do red-velvet cupcakes, 1 'cause that's what all the cool kids are doing right now. JULIAN: Well... I should probably get another job. BROOKE: Here's the great thing about that.I have a few bucks squirreled away. I own a clothing line, you know. Clothes over bros. You might have heard of it? JULIAN: Oh, you're that Brooke Davis. Like, the rich Brooke Davis. BROOKE: I am she. JULIAN: Oh, I chose wisely. BROOKE: You did indeed. I believe we have plans for the day. JULIAN: I'll see you in the shower. BEACH Quinn and Clay are lying on sand. QUINN: Your scruff is tickling me. CLAY: God, you smell amazing. Did I ever tell you that? And you taste good, too. QUINN: You taste good. Mmm. This is nice. CLAY: Yeah, it is. QUINN: What are you thinking? CLAY: I'm thinking... Your feet are enormous. QUINN: Hey! CLAY: How did I not notice those? You have dude feet! QUINN: Babe, stop! Is that a phone in your pocket, or did my feet do that to you? CLAY: Actually, I left my phone at home today. QUINN: You didn't bring your phone? CLAY: Non. That is totally my crotch. RIVERCOURT Nathan makes some sht. JAMIE: Nice shting, dad! Should we finish up on the road? NATHAN: Sure. Do Madison square garden. JAMIE: Okay. Scott, you suck! You hear me talking over here? Yeah, you, fella. You score again, and my cousin Angelo has you whacked! Bada bing, bada boom! NATHAN: All right. Now do Boston. JAMIE: Get outta the "garden," Scott! You shoulda stayed in your cah, ya retrd. NATHAN: Hey! Don't say "retrd." JAMIE: I'm just saying, I heard someone call you that in Boston last year. NATHAN: All right, but you don't say it. Los Angeles. JAMIE: Yeah. So I was thinking sushi. Yeah. I'm at the game. Nah, I don't know the score. I'm not even watching. Man, Nicholson got wrinkly. NATHAN: Attaboy. I'm gonna miss you, buddy. JAMIE: Yeah. Me too. So, that baby thing. How does that work? NATHAN: What? JAMIE: Mom's gonna have a baby, right? I just wondered, you know, how? NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan explain to Haley what Jamie required of him. HALEY: You said the basketball hoop was like my uterus. NATHAN: He caught me totally off guard. He was like a ninja. Like a three-foot-tall, "where do babies come from?" ninja. HALEY: Where did you leave it? NATHAN: Kind of uncomfortable and confused. And that was just me. I just started babbling about the birds and the bees, and he was just sitting there looking at me like, "my dad was totally my hero until this very moment when I realize he's actually a complete ass." HALEY: Hmm. NATHAN: He said he was gonna talk to you. HALEY: Great. Thanks a lot. NATHAN: Yeah. Good luck with that. Hey, so I've been thinking a lot about this, and... I think you and Jamie should come to Charlotte with me. HALEY: Today? NATHAN: This season. HALEY: Okay. I'm not sure what kind of job the boy can get with his third-grade education, but... NATHAN: You can home-school him. Look, I feel bad about the timing of this and everything with the pregnancy and... HALEY: My depression? NATHAN: Yeah. HALEY: Listen. I'm okay. I feel better. And when I'm not, I'll tell you. NATHAN: You promise? HALEY: I promise. NATHAN: Okay. HALEY: Although I really appreciate the fact that my sexy husband doesn't want to leave home. Besides, if we go with you, you're gonna have to give Jamie the sex talk with me. NATHAN: That's a good point. I'll miss you. HALEY: I'll talk to him. Hey, have you spoken to clay today? I've been trying to get ahold of Quinn. I want to tell her that we're pregnant, but she's not answering her phone. NATHAN: Uh, actually, Clay has this thing where he didn't talk to me the day before a road trip and I played great. So he usually blows me off the day before I travel. Besides, did you see those two in Utah? They probably haven't even left the bedroom. HALEY: Sick. Party foul on the mental image. Although Clay looks kind of hot. NATHAN: Watch it, you. I'll probably stop by there on my way out of town. I might have to give them "the talk, " too. HALEY: Yeah, 'cause you did so well with it the first time. NATHAN: Damn it. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian starts to read new scripts. Brooke arrives out of underclothing. BROOKE: Did you find your next movie yet?! JULIAN: Brooke, I'm on page 3 of the first script. BROOKE: So, does that mean you're gonna read all day instead? JULIAN: Why, what'd you have in mind? BROOKE: "grease 2"? JULIAN: Yeah. I like your idea better. Let me get my t-bird jacket. (Julian leaves in the room, Haley enters the house) HALEY: Hey! BROOKE: Hi! HALEY: So, that's a cool jacket. What is that, "grease"? BROOKE: "Grease 2," actually. HALEY: Oh. I never saw that movie. So, what's going on? BROOKE: Uh... (Julian come back in) JULIAN: Ready for my greased lightning! HALEY: Oh. Oh! Oh! Ew! Ew! Oh, my god. I'm sorry, you guys! Uh, speaking of that, I'm pregnant. Don't hate me. BROOKE: Congratulations! (Haley go out) BROOKE: Selfish baby haver. Oh... Your "greased lightning"? CLUB TRIC Chase and Alex discuss at the bar. ALEX: I'm sorry about the "boyfriend" comment. I mean, not that I said it, but... On second thought, I guess I'm not really sorry about it. CHASE: It's fine. It's just... Mia texted me. She thinks maybe we made a mistake. Maybe we did. But the timing was completely brutal. I mean, not the timing of you and me, just the timing of the... Whole thing. I don't know. I know I like you, Alex. Well, don't just sit there. Make a case for yourself. You're dirty. ALEX: I like you, too. And I want to be close to you. Grubbs is on tour, right? So you need a bartender. CHASE: Alex, your movie just blew up. ALEX: At the festival. But it hasn't been released yet. So it's better that I wait. Anyway, when it's a big ht, I'll have the power to sht my next film in north Carolina, near my new boyfriend. So what do you say, bar manager? Want to boss me around? BEACH Quinn and Clay go along the sea. QUINN: So, you think I should take that job in south Africa? Clay? You okay?

BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian and Brooke speak about Haley. JULIAN: So, Haley's pregnant again BROOKE: Yeah. It's gonna be really good for them. She's been so sad since her mom died. Now they'll have a new baby. I'm really happy for her. JULIAN: Mm. Little selfish, though. BROOKE: Totally selfish. They already have Jamie, and we can't even have one. JULIAN: So greedy. BROOKE: Maybe we could kidnap this one. JULIAN: Or maybe you could meet me in the bedroom, and I could romance your ovaries some more until they surrender. BROOKE: "ovaries" isn't very sexy. JULIAN: No. I know. I'm gonna change. (Somebody knocks on the door) BROOKE: At least I have pants on this time. (Brooke opens the door, this's police) POLICEMAN: Brooke Davis? BROOKE: I was totally joking about the kidnapping thing. POLICEMAN: You're under arrest. BROOKE: What?! Wait. Why?! What did I do?! Julian! Julian! NALEY'S HOUSE Haley looks himself in the mirror. Jamie surprises her. JAMIE: How long will it take? HALEY: Geez, you scared the... Life out of me! You are like a little ninja. JAMIE: Sorry. Just wondered when the baby was gonna get here. HALEY: Well, that won't be for a while. Usually it takes about nine months. Your dad said you had some questions about that. JAMIE: Yeah. He just babbled something about... Basketballs and eggs and stuff? He said you'd explain it. HALEY: Oh, he did, huh? JAMIE: Yep. BED ROOM RECORDS Haley explains the situation with Mia. HALEY: I said something about Chester falling in love. MIA: Awesome. HALEY: No, it's not awesome. I'm looking at my son who was born, like, three weeks ago, and he's asking me about sex! And I have to tell him that Chester the bunny rabbit is falling in love and getting married. And it was just really bad. Speaking of which, did you hear Brooke and Julian got engaged? MIA: Geez. What else happened in Utah that I missed? HALEY: Um... MIA: Alex and chase? Yeah. I heard about that. HALEY: I'm sorry, Mia. MIA: Don't be. It's my own fault. Hey, speaking of slutty, congratulations on being pregnant. HALEY: Oh, tha-- thank you. I think. Just don't ask me to explain it to you. I know. I'm a nerd. I have to go. Okay. Hey... If I haven't said it lately, I want you to know that it means a lot to me that you came back to help with the label. MIA: Hales, of course. As long as you're feeling better. HALEY: I am. Thanks. And good luck, by the way. MIA: Why? HALEY: Alex is gross. Pick Mia. PRISON Brooke waits in room of interrogation, Julian calls Victoria. JULIAN: Well, I assume she'll be released, but that's not the point. No, the press isn't here yet - also not the point. The point is, Brooke's been arrested, and you're her business partner and her mother. So you need to get Alexander’s dingo. Out of your wallaby and fix it. Now! HOSPITAL Nathan returns visit to his doctor. DOCTOR: You feel any pain here? NATHAN: No. DOCTOR: Here? NATHAN: No. Is everything okay? DOCTOR: Yeah, I just want to run some tests. Haley returns visit to her doctor. DOCTOR: You feel any pain here? HALEY: No. DOCTOR: Here? HALEY: Nope. Everything okay? DOCTOR: I just want to run some tests. JULIAN'S CAR Brooke left the police station. JULIAN: So, your mom is gonna meet you at the store with Millicent, and your attorney should be there shortly. Is there anything I can do? BROOKE: You're doing it right now. Just take me to the store. CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke wait explications from Victoria and Millicent. VICTORIA(on phone): Well, just have him call us the minute he lands, and do not speak to anyone else. Okay? Do you... yeah. Well, I have to go. Honey. BROOKE: Don't! Before you say another word, you should both know that I have just come from the city jail. Where I was frisked by a large supposedly female cop who was very thorough in her cavity search. Now speak. VICTORIA: Honey, it's not that bad. BROOKE: Not that bad? Not that bad?! I was just arrested... And...Explored by a woman with a mustache and man hands! When you look up "bad" in the dictionary, this is it! MILLICENT: I had her. Man hands. VICTORIA: You're being dramatic. BROOKE: Oh, yes. I sure as hell am being dramatic, because there are three people who run this company... VICTORIA: Actually, two, lately. BROOKE: What is that supposed to mean? VICTORIA: It means that you have been a little... Absentee of late. BROOKE: And you've been a little slutty of late, old woman, getting railed by Alexander. MILLICENT: Maybe we should all just calm down. BROOKE: Great idea, Millie. Do you have any cocaine we could snort?! MILLICENT: That's not fair. BROOKE: Well, when you get arrested, you can stop playing fair. I am being charged with accounting fraud, financial misrepresentation. What are they talking about? VICTORIA: They're saying that we lied to our investors about our profit. BROOKE: Did we? MILLICENT: Brooke... VICTORIA: Don't speak. MILLICENT: You're not the boss of me. VICTORIA: Which, let's face it, is completely ridiculous! MILLICENT: What's that supposed to mean? VICTORIA: It means we have a half-ass assistant and part-time model running a multimillion-dollar company! And zero is a size, by the way. MILLICENT: And 50 is an age, by the way. VICTORIA: I am not 50. BROOKE: Okay, stop! Both of you. VICTORIA: I am barely 40. MILLICENT: And I'm only a 2. BROOKE: Stop! These charges. Lying to our investors... Tell me we can fix this. Tell me that we can prove. That this is a mistake. VICTORIA: Honey, listen to me. MILLICENT: No. It's not a mistake. JAMIE'S BEDROOM Chuck plays on Jamie's computer. CHUCK: I can't believe your parents talked to you about the s-e-x. That's so cool! Tell me again what they said. JAMIE I told you...Just a bunch of stuff that didn't make sense. CHUCK: Well, maybe we can find it on the internet. JAMIE: I tried. CHUCK: Uh, yeah. That was before I disabled your parent-protection settings. JAMIE: Dude, no. You have to put that back! CHUCK: It's no big deal. JAMIE: It is a big deal! I'm not supposed to mess with that. I promised! CHUCK: You want to find out where babies come from or not? JAMIE: Move. Okay, I guess I'll type in "mom"? No. "lady"... And "rabbit"? CHUCK: Ooh, put "sex" in there, too! JAMIE: Ew! What the heck is that?! CHUCK: Hey, my mom has one of those! (Haley enters in room) HALEY: Okay, Chuck... JAMIE: I didn't do it! I don't like it! RED ROOM RECORDS Mia talks with Chase. MIA: Did you have sex with her? CHASE: It wasn't like that. MIA: I don't even know why I asked that. It doesn't matter. CHASE: It does matter. But it wasn't like that. MIA: But you like her. CHASE: Mia, you broke up with me by text message. MIA: And then I tried to fix it. CHASE: By text message. MIA: Yeah, but you were in Utah, and...Nobody talks on the phone anymore. CHASE: Well. I'm sorry, you know? It's just... Alex asked me out in person. MIA: And what'd you say? CHASE: I said yes. NALEY'S HOUSE Jamie explains his gesture. JAMIE: I said no. Just so you know, when chuck wanted to mess with the computer, I said no. NATHAN: But you did it anyway. Two weeks. No computer, no cellphone. JAMIE: But, dad... NATHAN: We can make it three. HALEY: This is not about your being curious. Being curious is okay. It's just about your computer and the promise that you broke. Do you understand that? JAMIE: I just don't understand about...Rabbits and bees and eggs and basketballs. NATHAN: Okay, here's the thing, buddy. Um... It's my last day home before camp. So we can either talk about this, or we can play the new "gears of wr" game I got you as a going-away gift. It's in your room. JAMIE: Sweet! I'm sorry. HALEY: Jam... NATHAN: What? That is gonna buy us at least another year. Make w*r, not love, babe. HALEY: Oh ho ho. Pushing your luck. CLOTHES OVER BROS Millicent discuses with Brooke. MILLICENT: I said no. Just so you know... When I figured out what Victoria was doing, I said no. BROOKE: But you did it anyway. MILLICENT: You know how she is. BROOKE: Oh, she's always been that way. MILLICENT: We have a meeting with our attorney this afternoon. BROOKE: Why did you do it? Why did she do it? Lie about our profits? MILLICENT: We needed investors for the men's line. We believed in the line, and we wanted to launch it, but...The economy never rebounded. So we lied to investors and told them we were more profitable than we are. Victoria thinks she can fix it. BROOKE: She's wrong. Once a company's financial integrity is challenged, it's...Over. Integrity. You remember this? That was my first sale in tree hill. You wrote that check to spite Victoria. That day. It's amazing... How far we've fallen. NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan joins Haley on the terrace. NATHAN: I never asked you about the doctor. How'd it go? HALEY: Oh, um, great. Everything's fine. You? NATHAN: Same. Everything's fine. HALEY: You ready to go? NATHAN: Yeah. I thought I'd stop by clay's on the way out of town, tell Quinn to call you. HALEY: Thanks. NATHAN: I also maybe threw your things in the car. Jamie's too. Thought I could make you change your mind. HALEY: I wish. We're gonna miss so much. NATHAN: Yeah. About that. We have money. You have time. Stash the kid with brooke and get my baby, and my other baby, to Charlotte as much as possible. Promise me. HALEY: I promise. Cross my heart. NATHAN: All right. Don't make me ground you. No. You've seen how I lower the hammer. I don't mess around. HALEY: I have. It's pretty scary. NATHAN: Come here. HALEY: Mmm. I love you. I'm in love with you. It's nice after all this time. NATHAN: It's everything after all this time. HALEY: Yeah. CLUB TRIC Chase learns to Alex to make cocktails. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley continues to write her letter for Lucas.

ALEX: Yeah. It kind of is. But not this time. You screwed this up all by yourself, didn't you? MIA: You can go now. ALEX: By the way, I plan to make him happier than you ever did, so you should probably just give up and move on now. Okay? Great. Now I can go. CLOTHES OVER BROS Julian joins Brooke on the store.

BROOKE: Right. How about like I'm 8? VICTORIA: We're being charged with lying to potential investors about the value of our company to get them to invest in the men's line. MILLICENT: We're not proud of that. BROOKE: Does it matter if I was completely unaware of all of this? ATTORNEY: Well, unfortunately, they have signed documents that prove otherwise.

Long story. KENNEDY PARK Chase and Mia talk. MIA: It's a long story... The reasons I thought we should break up. CHASE: You don't have to explain it. MIA: No, I think I do. I just hadn't been back in a long time, and every night, I'd sit on the tour bus and have conversations with the road. CHASE: And what did the road have to say? MIA: The road said that a long-distance girlfriend who sleeps better on a bus than she ever has in her own bed is a gypsy and a nomad and... No girlfriend at all. And then the night agreed with the road, and...We all decided that you deserve better. CHASE: Well... I guess I appreciate that, but... the truth is, your texts made it sound like you decided that you deserved better. At least, whenever you actually responded at all. MIA: I'm terrible with that. I know I am. And I'm sorry. CHASE:Yeah. So am I. CLUB TRIC Mouth talks with Alex. MOUTH: So, how'd you get this job, anyway? ALEX: It's kind of a long story.

MOUTH: I thought you used to be in movies or something. ALEX: I'm taking a break. MOUTH: Yeah. Me too. Only, uh, mine's kind of not on purpose.

CHASE: Yeah, but she kisses better. MOUTH: Man, you gave away my job and you lied to me about my kissing? I wish I never made out with you in Utah. CHASE: He's joking.

I'm sorry, but she tied a cherry stem with her tongue. MOUTH: Just sayin'. PLATE OF PLAYS Jamie wins all the time. JAMIE: Yes! Sorry. JULIAN: Jamie, you don't have to say you're sorry every time you bat me at something. Okay, I told you that after pac-man, donkey kong, the rock-climbing wall, and skee ball. JAMIE: Well, sorry. Didn't you play anything when you grew up? No sports, no video games? JULIAN: I watched a lot of movies. And I watched a lot of people. I used to watch people and make up stories about them. JAMIE: You didn't have any friends, huh? Okay, well, what kind of stories? JULIAN: Um, well... All right, take that guy. That guy works here for now, but he used to run the sideshow in a traveling carnival... until the bearded lady broke his heart and he had to get away. JAMIE: My dad says I won't be able to grow a beard till I'm at least 30. JULIAN: Be happy about that. JAMIE: Okay, well, what about that guy? JULIAN: That guy... Hates tattoo guy because tattoo guy called his graphic novels "comic books." He also borrowed his first-edition copy of "The Alcoholic" and never gave it back. JAMIE: Chuck's mom is an alcoholic. JULIAN: He totally spit in that drink, too. All right, you try it. JAMIE: Okay. That lady... Isn't really that boy's mom.

QUINN: If I have to be stuck here, even if it is forever... at least I'm with you. Haley is with the bedside of Quinn, Nathan joins her. Then, he will see Clay. NATHAN: Hey, buddy. It's me. Doctor says you can maybe hear me, so, uh... If you can, why don't you... I don't know...book me a rainstorm body spray commercial or something, and then we can get the hell out of here. Listen... You know how you're always telling me what a warrior I am? The truth is, you're the warrior. My life is so much better because of you and I'm not sure I ever said "thank you" for that. The, um... The doctors say it's a miracle that you're even breathing but I know that it's not. All this is nothing. 'Cause I know your spirit and I've seen your strength. Okay, so... Just... Just come back to us when you can because I never said "thank you" and I never said "I love you." CLAY: I love you, too, Nate. I'm gonna miss you, buddy. Haley talks with Quinn. HALEY: You know, I was thinking the other day about those little plays we used to put on when we were little for the whole family. You know, we would color invitations, and everybody got all dressed up. We made snacks and lemonade and you always insisted on singing and dancing. And you were... Really terrible at both. And you turned into this... beautiful swan. I was so proud of you. I went to the beach house to tell you that...I'm pregnant. And I want you to be the godmother, because it's been everything having you near me this past year. They say you don't know what you've got till it's gone. And I guess I didn't know how much I missed you till you were in my life every day. How much I needed you. Come home soon, Quinny. And if you see mom, you tell her to send you right back here to me... Because we have invitations to make and stories to write. Just me and my beautiful swan of a sister. QUINN: She's pregnant and I'm supposed to be the godmother. (Clay joins Quinn in her room) CLAY: You will be. Come on. GARDEN Quinn and Clay walk. QUINN: It's beautiful. CLAY: I was gonna take you here before we went to Utah. QUINN: Well, why didn't you? CLAY: I just got busy, you know? I thought that we had more time. Hey, but promise me that you'll go back here someday. QUINN: We'll go. Together. CLAY: And promise me that you'll take the time to feel... Lucky and happy and fortunate. Don't waste days with "what could have beens" and "what should have beens." QUINN: Clay, why are you telling me these things? CLAY: Because those things don't matter. QUINN: Clay... Why are you talking like this? CLAY: Because you have to leave me now. HOSPITAL Brooke, Nathan and Haley wait. WOMAN ON P.A.: Paging Dr. Stateman. Dr. Stateman, please. BROOKE: So...I got arrested today. NATHAN: What? HALEY: Why? What happened? BROOKE: Apparently, my lovely mother and Millicent lied about the company's earnings and falsified a whole bunch of documents with my signature on them. NATHAN: Lied to who? BROOKE: Investors. HALEY: Brooke, how bad can this get? BROOKE: I don't know. I met with our attorney this morning. They're saying some things, but... HALEY: Brooke. How bad can it get? BROOKE: I could lose the company. HALEY: Oh, my god. Why didn't you say anything? BROOKE: Because it's not life and death. Because I haven't even really congratulated you on your pregnancy. I am so happy for you guys. But I had a thought. If you really like the new baby, can I have Jamie? NATHAN: Yeah, you can have him. But you have to have the sex talk with him first. BROOKE: Already? It's like yesterday he was... HALEY: Going on treasure hunts with Quinn. CLUB TRIC Jamie and Julian drank glass. JAMIE: It's my aunt Quinn, isn't it? Something happened to my aunt Quinn. JULIAN: Why would you say that? JAMIE: Well, because she was supposed to pick me up today. And she never misses her day with me. JULIAN: Yeah, buddy. Your aunt Quinn's in the hospital. JAMIE: Well, I'm glad they sent you to pick me up. You don't just treat me like a kid. So, can we go to the hospital now? JULIAN: Let me call your mom and check. HOSPITAL Nathan is with the bedside of Clay and Haley to the bedside of Quinn. CLUB TRI C Millicent joins Mouth. GARDEN Clay and Quinn are looked at. Clay disappears. HOSPITAL Julian and Jamie arrives. CLUB TRIC Millicent talk with Mouth. MOUTH: I'm really sorry about Clothes over Bros, Millie. MILLICENT: I'm just sorry for Brooke. She trusted me, and I let her down...again. MOUTH: There's got to be some leniency, though, right? I mean, you make restitution to the investors and you pay a fine or something. MILLICENT: I don't think it's that simple. It's a federal offense. ALEX: Hey, bitch! What's the haps? Are you guys totally re-hooking it up? Okay. Sorry. I'm gonna walk away. MOUTH: So, how's Brooke doing with her mom? CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke recovers some businesses. BROOKE: You were never proud of me, were you? VICTORIA: Why would you say that? BROOKE: Because if you were proud of me, if you believed in me and in the men's line, you wouldn't have lied. You wouldn't have felt the need to make Clothes over Bros seem better than it is. VICTORIA: Is that what you think? BROOKE: Yeah, it is. VICTORIA: Well, you're wrong. It's because I did believe. I thought I could lie to them because I did believe in you, because I've seen you do amazing things. And in the face of a poor economy, I refused to believe that you wouldn't do it again. I gamble on your talent, Brooke. I gamble on your instinct and your ability to make miracles happen. And I'm usually right. Gambling is what you pay me to do. That other stuff...that "I'm proud of you" part...I always did that for free. It's always been the easy part. BEACH QUINN: What do you mean I have to leave you now? CLAY: I mean you have to go back. QUINN: With you. CLAY: Quinn, you've been saying it yourself. You're feeling weak. You know why that is? Because your body's healing, so it's getting ready to leave this place. QUINN: So what? CLAY: So I've been feeling stronger. My body's getting stronger. QUINN: It doesn't matter, okay? I'm staying with you. CLAY: You can't. QUINN: Would you just stop saying things like that, okay? We're together for a reason, okay, and I'm not gonna leave you. CLAY: You don't have a choice. Quinn, you can't choose not to live. And even if you could, I wouldn't let you. QUINN: None of this is real, anyways. CLAY: Listen to me. Haley's pregnant. She can't lose you right now. I mean, what would that do to her? And think what that would do to the baby. Think what that would do to Jamie. HOSPITAL Jamie wants to speak in Quinn. NATHAN: Now, remember what the doctor said. Got to be positive, upbeat, okay? JAMIE: Is it okay if I talk to her alone? NATHAN: Yeah, of course. I'll just be right outside if you need me, okay? BEACH Quinn starts to dig sand. HOSPITAL JAMIE: Hi, aunt Quinn. I wanted to come see you because I knew something was wrong, and I know you'd never miss one of our days together unless you really had to. I'm sorry that people do bad things like this, especially to good people, like you. Well, I'm just sorry, that's all. Anyway, I know you're gonna be okay, but just in case, I brought you something. I love you, aunt Quinn. And don't worry, 'cause you look really pretty. (Jamie gives her the star amulet) BEACH Quinn discovers the treasure where the star is hidden. CHURCH OF HOSPITAL Nathan finds Haley. HALEY: Not long ago, I was here praying for my mom. NATHAN: I know. HALEY: I'm trying hard not to be angry. I'm trying to be sympathetic to whatever sickness or disease would allow someone to do something like this. But I think I'm losing that battle. NATHAN: I'm way ahead of you. HALEY: You should be at camp. NATHAN: It'll be fine. It's fine. HALEY: Good. 'Cause I need you. NATHAN: I'm right here. BEACH Quinn joins Clay. QUINN: I want to stay with you. CLAY: I know. And I want that, but you can't. QUINN: I can. Okay? I'm just fine, Clay. I'm right here. CLAY: It doesn't matter. I can't have you here with me. Wherever this is, I need you to go back. QUINN: Why?! CLAY: Because it was my fault. CLUB TRIC Millicent stills talks with Mouth. MILLICENT: It was my fault. I knew Victoria was doing the wrong thing, and I let her do it anyway. What happened to me, Marvin? How did I get here? MOUTH: Are you asking the guy who used to be on buses and billboards in Omaha or the guy who needs you to pay for his drinks tonight? MILLICENT: I'm really sorry about what happened to you. MOUTH: Don't be. MILLICENT: But you came back from Omaha for me. MOUTH: And I came back to a good job. The rest of it was my doing, Millie, so you're not to blame for this... I am. It was my fault, too. Mia talks with Alex. MIA: It was my fault. You were right. I screwed up my relationship with Chase all on my own. That doesn't mean you're not a bitch, because you are one. It just means it was my fault. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke feels guilty. BROOKE: It was my fault. I blamed my mom and I blamed Millicent, but it's my company, and it was my fault. JULIAN: But you didn't make them lie, Brooke. BROOKE: No, I forced them to. Not directly, but I did with the choices I made. JULIAN: Hey, you're not gonna lose the company. Okay? But even if you did... So what, you know?You're here. We're here. And after a day like today, it all gets pretty simple, doesn't it? They can't take away your talent. You built this company with your talent and your instincts. And no one can take those away from you. BEACH QUINN: But everything is better with you. Everything is better and everything is safe, and I can't live without you. I don't want to, Clay. CLAY: You won't have to. You won't. QUINN: Then come with me. Please. Why can't you just come back with me? CLAY: Hey, listen to me. I can't explain it, but this is what we have to do. You just got to trust me. QUINN: Then promise me. I'll do whatever you say, okay? CLAY: Okay. QUINN: Just promise me you'll come back to me. Promise me you'll open your eyes and you'll live a long, healthy, amazing life. Promise it. Promise me. CLAY: I'm going to live a long, healthy, amazing life... With you. I promise. Till kingdom come. Now open your eyes. QUINN: I don't want to -- not if it means losing you, Clay. I can't. CLAY: It won't. I promise you. QUINN: Till kingdom come. I love you. CLAY: Now open your eyes. Till kingdom come. HOSPITAL Quinn opens the eyes.

PREVIOUSLY ON ONE TREE HILL BROOKE: Why is my signature on these documents? VICTORIA: Honey, you empowered us to do this. BROOKE: No, I empowered you to pick a cover model for the magazine, not to send me to prison. This is not my fault! QUINN: Clay, what's happening? CLAY: It's my fault. WOMAN: Two victims, both critical, coming in. Victim number one -- male. Estimated mid-20s. QUINN: Haley! She can't see me. CLAY: I can. QUINN: I want to stay with you.

QUINN: Till kingdom come. CLAY: Now open your eyes. HOSPITAL Haley writes her letter for Lucas, seeing sleep Quinn and Jamie. HALEY(Voice-over): "Dear, Lucas.I feel so lucky that Quinn is getting better. It means I can breathe again. The darkness that I've struggled with now seems a world away, replaced by my concern for her. I made a promise that if she was okay, I would try to give back. I thought I might volunteer somewhere and try to help people who have struggled with depression or who have faced a crisis of their own. She's been recovering for about a week, and the entire family was here. But now they've gone, and it's just me and Quinn. Every day brings another small victory, and with it, the hope that Clay wakes up soon. Nathan reads newspapers for Clay. NATHAN: ''With NBA training camps now a week old, exhibition games will begin soon. Rosters will be trimmed to the mandatory 13 players, and dreams will come true or die in sweat-soaked practice facilities and exhibition game box scores. The Charlotte bobcats have been thrilled with the addition of Joe Turner." You hear that, Buddy? You're the badass that made that happen. You can do this, Clay. Believe that. "Closed over bros. Fashion designer Brooke Davis faces charges of financial corruption." We'll skip that one. RESTAURANT Victoria joins her daughter. BROOKE: Thanks. VICTORIA: Good morning, daughter. BROOKE: If you're spelling morn "m-o-u-r-n." VICTORIA: Always with the drama. Let's see if we can turn that frown upside down. Your problems are over. BROOKE: What do you mean? VICTORIA: I mean that our attorneys have spoken with their attorneys who've spoken with half of the federal government, and we've reached an agreement. We will pay a fine, we'll restructure, we'll get a slap on the wrist, and you will keep your company. And your freedom. BROOKE: But how? VICTORIA: Let's just say that I've always had your best interests at heart, and I still do. So breathe. And, uh, don't eat that. You're gonna be just fine. BROOKE: I can't believe it. VICTORIA: What, no "thank you"? BROOKE: Thank you? You want a "thank you" for getting me into this mess? VICTORIA: No. I want a "thank you" for getting you out of it. BROOKE: How 'bout a "you're fired"? You want one of those, too? VICTORIA: No thank you necessary. And contrary to what you might think, I am sorry for putting you through this. HOSPITAL Quinn is waking up. QUINN: I'm sorry... For putting you through all this. HALEY: Well, it's about time you apologized. You really are so selfish. QUINN: How's Clay? HALEY: He's the same. But he's sab. Nathan's in with him right now. QUINN: Will you take me to see him? HALEY: Quinn, every day you ask me that, and every day I tell you the doctors don't want you moving yet. QUINN: Hales... HALEY: I promise as soon they say it's okay, I will take you to see him. QUINN: Okay. HALEY: Jamie. Hey. Wake up, Buddy. Aunt Quinny's awake. QUINN: Hey, there, little man. JAMIE: Hi, aunt Quinn. I have your star right here. It's helping you get better. QUINN: I know it is. Hey, will you do something for me? Will you go give this to Clay for a little while? He needs it now. Okay. Clay walks in the hall. CLAY: Oh, Cheryl. Good call on the hair. Old man from 307, your son is still trying to change the will! Geez. What the hell happened to you? MAN: Dog bite. CLAY: Who said that? MAN: This sucks, huh? Now I know why they call it the waiting room. Brooke and Julian come to pick Jamie. HALEY: Hey, I was thinking that, uh... BROOKE: There they are! Hi, Jimmy jam. QUINN: Good timing. She's awake. HALEY: I was actually wondering if I could talk to you for a second. JULIAN: Oh. Dude, they restocked the cafeteria with all sorts of sugary goodness. I'm buying. You in? JAMIE: Sweet. JULIAN: Literally. JAMIE:Mom, can I? HALEY: Do your worst. JAMIE: Yes! BROOKE: Hi. HALEY: Hi. Quinn's really broken up about Clay, and Jamie is getting worried, and I was just hoping you guys could take him for the day. BROOKE: Absolutely. HALEY: Thank you. BROOKE: How are they? HALEY: Quinn's getting better. Clay's the same. What's going on with you? What's happening with your company? BROOKE: I think it's gonna be okay. HALEY: Wow. That's great, Brooke. BROOKE: Hey, mouth and Millie send their best. They just didn't want to be in the way. HALEY: Of course. Are they back together? BROOKE: No. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Mouth and Millie are in bed. MOUTH: Sleep well? MILLICENT: Yep. You? MOUTH: Pretty good, yeah. So... What's your day like? MILLICENT: Oh, same day as yesterday. Pretty much deal with the fact that I got Brooke arrested and almost lost the company. You? MOUTH: Oh, same as yesterday. Pretty much...Nothing. So, I guess last night we must have... MILLICENT: Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. We should probably get up. HOSPITAL Clay speaks with guy. CLAY: You can see me? MAN: Of course I can see you. You look like ass, by the way. Now, the girl you're keeping watch over...uh, what's her name... Quinn? Yeah, she's fine. CLAY: Dude, really? I haven't spoken to anyone for a week, and this is how you come at me? MAN: Well, I'm just saying, you know? If you don't live, I'm all over that. CLAY: Ahh. I can smack you, right? MAN: What? CLAY: Yeah. MAN: Ow. Dude. CLAY: Just checking. So what about that? The living part, I mean. Do you know what this is? Do you know how we can even get back? MAN: We're in between, man. We get back by living. Otherwise... Hope that's not me. CLAY: W-what's happening? (Nathan asks help for Clay) NATHAN: What...can you help him? CLAY: It's not. ONE TREE HILL - CREDITS HOSPITAL Clay and the guy looks at the body of Clay. MAN: The respirator's always a tough break. I'm on one, too, if it helps. CLAY: It doesn't. They will walk in the corridors. CLAY: I can't be on a respirator. I mean, I need to find a way to get back. MAN: What happened to you, anyway? CLAY: I got sht. MAN: Ooh, nice. What's that like? CLAY: I-I...I don't remember. MAN: Well, if it helps, you... you look a lot better. CLAY: It doesn't. MAN: Oh, come on, man. I've had no one to hang with for weeks. Stop being a baby. Jamie and Julian look at the newborns. JAMIE: My mom's gonna have another baby. JULIAN: Yeah, I heard.

MOUTH: Oh, uh, he's working for that sports coordinating company in L.A. MILLICENT: I thought he came back for Lauren. MOUTH: Yeah. Uh, that didn't really... MILLICENT: Got it.Oh, God. You and Lauren aren't... MOUTH: No. No. How 'bout you? Are...are you... MILLICENT: No. So how's the job search going? MOUTH: It's kind of grim, actually. Just been sending out resumes and looking online, but mostly I've just been working on my podcast. MILLICENT: Oh, yeah? You have a podcast? MOUTH: Yeah. It's this sports website I'm working on where I talk about sports and sports-related topics, but I don't know. I've only gotten 48 hits. MILLICENT: Today? MOUTH: Well, uh... Ever. MILLICENT: Oh. Well, it'll probably just take some time to catch on, you know? MOUTH: Yeah. Ebay took some time. So... MILLICENT: Sure. I should probably go. MOUTH: Oh. Okay. I, um... Thanks you. Thank you. I'll see you later. Or soon. HOSPITAL Haley talks with Quinn. QUINN: Hey. You know, I never told you congratulations on your pregnancy. HALEY: Thanks. Well, you were kind of busy with the whole trying-to-live thing, so...I'm glad you did. QUINN: Me too. HALEY: So... We need to talk about Clay. QUINN: Is he awake? HALEY: No, he's not. His organs are failing. He's on a respirator, and it's breathing for him right now. QUINN: He's gonna be okay. HALEY: He needs a kidney transplant. If he doesn't get it, they don't think that he's gonna make it. QUINN: I need to see him. HALEY: You can't. QUINN: Hales, I need to talk to him. Please. HALEY: I'll try. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Microphone sends a message on his blog. MOUTH: They make us cry sometimes. They make us cheer for the underdog, celebrate teams over individuals, and sometimes individuals over teams. I'm mouth McFadden, and today we're talking about the best sports movies of all time. For me, one of those films will always be "the Natural." Starring Robert redford, "the Natural" is the story of Roy hobbs, a man in his prime who is sht at close range by an obsessive woman. HOSPITAL Nathan talks with the doctor about Clay. NATHAN: I was wondering... What are the odds a kidney becomes available? DOCTOR: It's hard to say. To find the right match could take some time. NATHAN: Does he have much time? DOCTOR: No. NATHAN: Take mine. He can have one of my kidneys. DOCTOR: Nathan, we're not even sure you're a match. NATHAN: Let's find out. DOCTOR: That's a wonderful gesture, and a Noble one, but you need to know something. If you give him a kidney, your basketball career is over. (Clay and the guy see the scene) MAN: The plot thickens. GROUND OF BASEBALL Brooke, Julian and Jamie play. JULIAN: Let's see if you can ht my fast ball. BROOKE: Oh. JULIAN: Okay, I guess you're good with that. Here comes a curve ball. JULIAN: Oh! BROOKE: Dude! You're so going pro. JAMIE: Nah, I'm gonna play basketball like my dad. HOSPITAL Nathan explains to Haley what he wants to do. Clay comments on. NATHAN: I would lead a normal life. I just wouldn't...Be able to play basketball. CLAY: Which is completely unacceptable. Nate, we worked so hard! MAN: Come on, man. Shut up. I want to hear this. HALEY: Are they sure that you couldn't play? NATHAN: There are a couple of unique cases where guys going through this have played, but I...I wouldn't be one of them. HALEY: Maybe they could find a donor. CLAY: Ah, that's right. That is right. Good point, hales. NATHAN: He's getting worse, hales. What if that were me in there? What would you say to Clay? CLAY: That's not fair. HALEY: That's not fair. Clay could still do what he loves. He could still be an Agent. I don't know, baby. You've worked so hard. CLAY: That's what I said. NATHAN: They ran some tests on my back. It's getting worse. HALEY: What? NATHAN: I didn't tell you because of Clay and Quinn and Brooke and everything that you've had to deal with, but...my back is degenerating. I could maybe play this season or even next and it could be fine but nobody can really say for sure. The only thing we do know for sure is that if I do this for Clay... I could save his life. HALEY: I love you. I love the person that you are, your strength. NATHAN: Where do you think I learned it? Clay and the guy walks in corridors. CLAY: I can't believe he's giving up the game. MAN: Oh, come on, man. He's doing this for you. Besides, you heard him. His back is all screwed up. CLAY: We don't know that for sure. He's using me as an excuse. MAN: He's saving your life. CLAY: You know what? Why don't you just stay out of this! I don't even know you. MAN: I think you might want to remember what you could lose, Clay. How 'bout you just say "thank you"? MOUTH'S APARTMENT MICRO: There's a moment in "field of dreams" where moonlight Graham knows he'll never play the game again. And he's at ease with it because he had his moment in the sun. And because he had something else in his life to take the game's place. JAMIE'S BEDROOM Nathan come to see Jamie. NATHAN: You have a good day, Buddy? JAMIE: Yeah. How are Clay and aunt Quinn? NATHAN: Uh, aunt Quinn's doing better. But, uh, Clay's not doing so good. He needs a kidney transplant, Jamie, so they're gonna see if they can take one from me. JAMIE: Will you be okay? NATHAN: Yeah. I'll be fine. Um... I won't be able to play basketball anymore, though. JAMIE: Do you have to? Give Clay your kidney? NATHAN: No. No, I don't have to. But if I don't, then Clay might not get one. And if Clay doesn't get one... He might never wake up. JAMIE: Maybe he could have my kidney. That way he would be okay and you could still be a bobcat. NATHAN: I think you're a little young for that, Jame. I love you for the offer, though, and I know Clay would, too. Do you understand how important this is for Clay, Buddy? Okay. I know you loved that I was a bobcat, so I understand if you're a little disappointed. But just... Just try to think about Clay, okay? We'll talk about this more in the morning. I love you, Buddy. JAMIE: I love you, too. Hey, dad? Clay's the reason you were gonna be a bobcat this year, so if he needs help, we should help him. NATHAN: You're a good man, Jamie Scott. JAMIE: So are you, dad. HOSPITAL Haley lets Quinn to see Clay. HALEY: Quinny. Quinn! Promise me you're well enough for this. Are you okay? QUINN: Yeah. HALEY: I'll be outside. QUINN: Thanks. Hi, honey. It's me. I'm right here. Hey, handsome. You know, my whole family was here. It's usually best to be in a coma for that, so...Nice work. I also need to tell you that it's gonna take longer to get into Nathan's basketball games next year because my right boob is gonna set off the metal detector. Apparently, I still have the bllet in me, so you can cross that off your fantasy-girl wish list. So just between us, everybody's putting on a really brave face, but I think they're all really scared. Because they can't imagine losing you. It's too much to imagine. But that's not gonna happen, is it? My man is too strong for that. So why don't -- why don't you surprise us all... And open those beautiful blue eyes and take my breath away like you know you do. Just open those eyes...That see me like no eyes ever have. And I'll be right here waiting. HOSPITAL Clay and the guy are on the roof. MAN: ''Get yourself a limbo girl give that chick a limbo whirl there's a limbo moon above you will fall in limbo love''. I took the moon for granted. I wouldn't do that anymore, if I lived. I also like to think I'd be nicer to people, too. 'M not saying I would be, but I'd like to think I would. You're supposed to talk now. CLAY: The girl who sht me sht Quinn, too. The thing is... She compelled me, at first. I mean, she was, uh, just imbalanced and obsessive. I've just been thinking, and, um... I don't know, man. Maybe I, uh, maybe I led her on. MAN: No. No. Crazy is crazy. It's not your fault. ''Every limbo boy and girl all around the limbo world. What? It's catchy. Hey, can I ask you something? You know what comes next? You know, like if we die? I've been kind of worried about that. CLAY: No. I don't know what comes next. And I don't want to know. MAN: Yeah. Like I said... I've been worried about it. CLAY: ''Jack be limbo, Jack be quick'' NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan and Haley are in bed, they discuss. HALEY: I took Quinn to see Clay tonight. She tried to be brave, but you could...you could see the desperation in her eyes. NATHAN: I remember sitting in the hospital after the state championship game. I was praying that you'd wake up, just sitting there, desperate, helpless... And responsible. But here we are. You were pregnant with Jamie that night. HALEY: Mm-hmm. NATHAN: I remember thinking that I didn't want to lose what we had. But I also didn't want to lose what we'd have... The rest of our lives together...Our family...Our someday. HALEY: That's all she wants...someday. They deserve that. NATHAN: Everyone deserves that. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian and Brooke will lie down. BROOKE: It was nice having Jamie today. I don't know if I'm allowed to say it, but despite everything, it was a good day. JULIAN: He likes being with his aunt Brooke. BROOKE: No, he likes being with you, and I like seeing you two together. I love that you're so good to him. JULIAN: Does it make you a little sad? BROOKE: Yeah. JULIAN: I know. So what's happening with the company? BROOKE: My mom says that we're keeping the company, and that she and the attorneys can handle everything. JULIAN: But do we trust her this time? BROOKE: Honestly? I don't know if I'll ever trust her again. Damn it. CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke calls Victoria but she is busy. She tries to find a solution with help for Millicent. VICTORIA: That's Brooke. MILLICENT: Don't you think you should take it? VICTORIA: I'll talk to her eventually. But...where were we? MILLICENT: You know, Victoria, I know you're trying to help, but this is how we got here. I hate that I didn't involve Brooke the last time, and I don't feel good about it now. VICTORIA: I understand that. And I respect it. But consider this...if we had involved Brooke the last time, she'd be going to prison instead of me. Is that what you'd prefer? MILLICENT: No. VICTORIA: Okay. So where were we? MILLICENT: You were talking about how to deal with the press. VICTORIA: Yes. You're gonna have to do some research. HOSPITAL Nathan makes the blood test. MOUTH'S APARTMENT MOUTH: "Brian's song" was a true story, a Buddy film, a sports tale, an emotional tearjerker, all wrapped up into one great underdog sports movie. But at its core, "Brian's song" was a tale of two friends, one who was dying, and one who would've given anything to save him. HOSPITAL Nathan, Haley and Jamie wait the answer of the doctor. DOCTOR: I'm sorry, Nathan. You're not a match. Haley goes to see Quinn in her room. QUINN: There has to be something we can do. HALEY: Yeah, um...Tay says you've been calling everybody in the family shopping for a kidney. QUINN: There has to be something. HALEY: He doesn't have much time, Quinn. Haley lets Quinn to see Clay. NATHAN: I'm sorry. QUINN: I don't... I don't want to live without you, okay? I'm sorry. I love you so much, and this world is too big and it's too dark and it's too much if you leave it. MAN: I know this sucks, but it's got to be nice to know that someone loves you like that. ROAD Nathan cleans up Clay's car and he drives. Then he stops in front of pre of horses. He cries. HOSPITAL Nathan joins at church of the hospital. HALEY: Brooke and Julian picked up Jamie. NATHAN: I'm not strong enough for this. My whole life, I've willed myself to face things. Anything that was bigger than me, anything that defeated me, I just kept going until I bat it. Not this. This is too big. I never really understood what you faced when you lost your mom until today. I'm not strong enough, Haley. HALEY: Yes, you are. And when you're not, you have me. NATHAN: What are we gonna do? MOUTH'S APARTMENT MOUTH: "What are we gonna do?" On the Eve of the fight of his life, rocky balboa can't sleep. So he goes to the arena, and finding no comfort there, he goes home to Adrian. She wakes up and sits with him, there in the shadows of the night, and he confesses that he can't win. It's a fight he's going to lose. And Adrian waits for a moment, and then she says... HOSPITAL QUINN: What are we gonna do? MOUTH'S APARTMENT MOUTH: "What are we gonna do?" Not "what are you gonna do," but "what are we gonna do?" And that's what I love about "rocky."

VICTORIA: She told you, didn't she? BROOKE: Is it true? Are you going to prison? VICTORIA: Well, it's...it's white collar. It's more of a country club, really. BROOKE: It's prison, mother. How could you do this? VICTORIA: Because you're my daughter, and I love you. BROOKE: I don't want you to go. VICTORIA: It's my fault. HOSPITAL Jamie gives ideas to parents for Clay's awake. JAMIE: We should get confetti for when Clay wakes up. HALEY: Honey, Uncle Clay is very sick. JAMIE: I know. But remember when you won the state championship game? And Uncle Lucas made the winning sh*t? Remember how that felt? NATHAN: Mm-hmm. JAMIE: So, I think it's gonna feel like that when Clay wakes up. So we should get confetti. NATHAN: I love you. You know that? Quinn speaks at Clay. QUINN: I love you. You know that? But I want to talk to you about Sara. Because I know how much you loved her, and how much she loved you. And I don't... I don't know how it works in heaven, but I'm sure that they have a plan for that. For you to be with her but... But to also be with me. Because in my heaven... It's just us. You and me. They must have a plan for that. Clay is still with the guy in the roof. CLAY: I'm in love with Quinn. But I had a wife that I used to love, too, but she died. How do you suppose that works? MAN: I don't know. It just does. CLAY: You think? Because I've been trying to make sense of it, and I can't. MAN: So what? Look, this doesn't make sense, does it? Couple of ghosts sitting on a roof? But here we are. CLAY: I never asked you, but, uh, how'd you get here? MAN: Car accident. CLAY: I'm sorry. MAN: Nah, it was my fault. I was texting. CLAY: Dude... Do you know how stupid that is? MAN: I do now. CLAY: So what's your name, anyway? MAN: It's Will. MOUTH'S APARTMENT MOUTH: Most great stories are stories of will, of determination and courage in the face of great adversity, of the will to win, of the will to fight, of the will to survive. HOSPITAL Clay sees Quinn crying him. CLAY: I love you, Quinn. He joins Will at waiting room. CLAY: I don't know how to do this. WILL: I guess you'll know when you know. CLAY: I don't want to die. MOUTH(Voice-over): Most great movies, whether sports films or otherwise, remind us of why we're here, of how precious and precarious our lives are. And of how lucky we are to have each other. There is an urgency in the room of Will. He will die. WILL: It was good hanging with you. CLAY: Yeah. WILL: It's not your fault. QUINN: I love you, Clay Evans. Till kingdom come.

How could you do this? VICTORIA: Because you're my daughter, and I love you. CLAY: You look pretty. QUINN: Oh, my God. God, I missed you. RIVERCOURT Nathan is involved under the glance of Julian. HALEY(Voice-over): Dear Lucas... Every time I write that, it sounds so strange. How did our lives drift so far apart? And how, without even trying, did we make our lives so complicated?

Does that count? HALEY: Okay, uh, do you have any instant jello? WOMAN: Yes. HALEY: Good, make up the jello, layer it with the whipped cream you were gonna use for garnishing the souffle, top it off with whatever fruit you have lying around the house, and if you hurry, you can bang it out, five minutes to spare. WOMAN: Thanks! You're a life saver. HALEY: Oh, yeah. Not quite what I had in mind, but... (Haley takes another line) HALEY: Crisis intervention. PRISON Brooke visits her mother. BROOKE: This is not what I had in mind when I said, "fix it." VICTORIA: Oh, please. You're not the one who has to wear this hideous jumpsuit. Orange? And we are far from broke. In fact, we have a lot of work to do. We may have saved the company, but we are gonna have to reorganize and streamline in just about every division. Let's start with the men's line. BROOKE: You're doing work? From in here? VICTORIA: Of course. Brooke, many captains of industry have done their best work while incarcerated. There's no shame in it. Let's get a meeting with the warden about these miserable jumpsuits. That'll be all, Adele. She's better than that Calliope. And besides, everyone in here needs their own bitch. BROOKE: Mom! VICTORIA: I'm just saying. I did not make the rules. So, I think we can spin this whole prison thing to our advantage. I want you to think of an urban direction for your new designs. I've been told I'm gonna have mad street credit when I get up out of here. BROOKE: Okay, I don't even know who you are right now. GOLF COURSE Alex joins Chase to play. ALEX: Morning, boyfriend.

So, how is public enemy number one? BROOKE: Oddly enough, she seems to be adjusting to prison pretty well. She might actually be enjoying herself. Me? I have to jettison the men's line, reorganize the magazine staff, close half of our stores, and put up with an unbelievable amount of humiliating press. And scene. JULIAN: Let's take a drive. NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan is shaving, Haley comes to speak to him. HALEY: Hey! Good news. Quinn just called. They're releasing her today. NATHAN: Oh, that's great. I was actually gonna go check on Clay. Is there anything I can do? HALEY: Nope. I'm gonna get her. Thanks, though. Uh, actually, there is something I wanted to talk to you about. I was hoping that Quinn could stay with us, at least until Clay gets released. NATHAN: Sure. I think it's a good idea. HALEY: Okay, thanks. I love you. Have I told you lately what a great husband you are? NATHAN: Come here. HALEY:What? NATHAN: I'm sorry. I love you. HALEY: Love you, too. HOSPITAL Quinn sees to Clay to sleep. CLAY: You're still here?

QUINN: No. You look perfect. It's just, um... For a while there, I wasn't sure if I was gonna be able to see you again. CLAY: I'm so sorry, Quinn. I should've seen it coming, and I should have protected you. QUINN: Don't. It's not your fault, and you know that. We're here, and we're together. And as long as we're together, we're gonna be okay. CLAY: We're gonna be more than okay. ONE TREE HILL - GENERIQUE GOLF COURSE CHASE: You ever play, uh, truth or dare golf? ALEX: Excuse me?

Like I'm wearing any underwear. CHASE: Alex Dupre, my girlfriend. This could get interesting. HOSPITAL Haley gathers clothing of Quinn. HALEY: I don't know. I thought that the people who would be calling in would be struggling, like I was, you know? QUINN: And that's not what's happening? HALEY: No, but if I need to start a 976 line or a cooking show, I'm golden. I don't think I've helped anybody. Well, it only takes one person, you know? QUINN: And at some point, you're gonna pick up that phone, and the person on the other end is really gonna need you. And you know what? HALEY: What? QUINN: They're gonna be lucky it was you who answered. HALEY: Hey, speaking of helping people, I've discussed it with Nathan, and we both decided that it would be best if you move in with us now that you're coming home. Just for a little while, at least until Clay is doing better. QUINN: And you're sure it won't be too much trouble? HALEY: Only if you argue with me. QUINN: Then I'd like that very much. (Nurse comes in) NURSE: Who's ready to be released? QUINN: Is that really necessary? NURSE: Sorry, honey. It's hospital policy. HALEY: I'll make sure she doesn't make a break for it. I got it from here. NURSE: Okay. HALEY: Are you ready to go home? QUINN: Yeah. You okay? HALEY: Sorry. Yeah, it's just, um... After the sh*ting, when you were unconscious, I prayed for this moment when you would come home to me. After losing mom, the thought of that not happening was just... QUINN: I know. I love you. HALEY: I love you, too. You want to see Clay on your way out? QUINN: Yes, please. HALEY: Okay. GOLF COURSE CHASE: Ahh! That feels sweet. That's another hole for me. You owe me a truth, so pony up, girlfriend. ALEX: What kind of truth? CHASE: Tell me a secret, something you've never, ever told anyone. ALEX: I've never been in love.I mean, I've had tons of boyfriends, and some of them I genuinely liked, but... I've never been in love. I've never had that one special person. I think I know what love is, what it should be, you know? At least I... I know enough to know I've never felt it before. CHASE: Well, you might not have ever been in love with them, all those other guys that you've dated, but...I can't imagine they weren't in love with you. ALEX: Think so? CHASE: Yeah. I do. ALEX: You know, you're a lot sweeter than I thought you'd be. CHASE: Mm. You haven't heard my next dare. ALEX: Oh! Come on! CASTLE Julian shows to Brooke castle who celebrate their wedding BROOKE: Oh, Julian. What fairy tale did you bring me to? JULIAN: This is the Biltmore estate. I thought it would be a nice spot for our wedding. I want my girl to have her dream. BROOKE: It's beautiful. But is this okay? I mean, with everything going on, this wouldn't be selfish? JULIAN: No. No, and know why? Because years from now, when we look back on this moment, we not gonna remember the trouble with your company, or the bad press, or even your mom being in jail. We're just gonna remember how great our wedding was. BROOKE: You think so? JULIAN: Yeah. I know so. And when we look back on it... I want to remember it like this...just...Perfect. You of all people deserve it. HOSPITAL Nathan is with Clay. CLAY: Hey, Quinn told me about what you were gonna do. Donating a kidney and ruining your career? That has to rate as one of your worst moves ever. What were you thinking, Nate? NATHAN: I was thinking you were gonna die. And that was completely unacceptable to me. CLAY: I love you for that, buddy, but...It would've klled me if you threw it all away for me. NATHAN: It's a game. Clay, some things are more important. And truth be told, it wasn't even a hard decision. No big deal. CLAY: Hey... It was a big deal. I mean, it's a really big deal. Thank you. COMMENTATOR: Yeah. Ohh! And that sht spells disaster for Daniels on the 18th. GOLF COURSE ALEX: This is kind of a disaster. CHASE: What? You're not having fun? ALEX: No. It's not that. It's just... I kind of suck. CHASE: You do not suck. ALEX: Come on. You're just saying that because you want to sleep with me. CHASE: I am not. ALEX: You don't want to sleep with me? CHASE: No, I do. I mean... I don't.

We did ht a rough patch, but I think that the company is gonna be okay. We are completely restructuring, and we will recover. INVESTOR: Well... This is a picture of my daughter...Faith. BROOKE: She's lovely. INVESTOR: She's a great student, a self-starter. In fact she just got accepted to college and was gonna study fashion design, just like you. I never really got a chance to go to college myself, but what I did, miss Davis, was I worked and I saved most of my life to make sure she'd be able to go. BROOKE: That's very nice. INVESTOR: Well, I just wanted a chance to meet you, and I really wanted you to have a chance to see her picture, because you're the reason I have to tell her tonight she won't be going to college after all. BROOKE: What do you mean? INVESTOR: I invested a hell of a lot of money with you, miss Davis. And my money's gone because you lied to us. You lied. And you should be ashamed of yourself. BROOKE: Sir, please wait. INVESTOR: But, uh, you know, I'm glad your company's gonna be okay. Wish I could say the same for my little girl. PRISON Brooke explains with Victoria the situation. VICTORIA: Well, what kind of idiot invests everything they have in a clothing line? BROOKE: The kind that trusted us. VICTORIA: They gambled on us, and it didn't work out. And when it didn't, somebody had to take the ht. Just be grateful it's not us. BROOKE: I want to pay them back. VICTORIA: You can't, not without losing the company entirely. We'd have to sell. BROOKE: Maybe we should. VICTORIA: Don't be crazy. You want to throw away everything we've built just to pay back every Tom, Dick, and Harry who's ever invested in Clothes Over Bros? BROOKE: Yes. They are people, mother. People with wives and husbands and children, and they trusted us. And for the record, they didn't invest in a company. They invested in me. Brooke Davis.

And I'll come visit you every day, okay? CLAY: I'm gonna hold you to that. We made it, Quinn. I love you, and we're gonna be together soon. Nothing's gonna stop that. Quinn leaves the hospital. HALEY: Let's go home. GOLF COURSE CHASE: I'm not sure, but I think my drive might be slightly better than yours. ALEX: You're such a show-off. It's no fair. Where'd you learn to play so well? CHASE: Well... Golf team. High School. ALEX: Ha ha! You in High School. I wish I could've seen you back then. CHASE: I was a little different. ALEX: Wait. Don't tell me. Let me guess. You were way cute. Kind of a good student until your a.D.D. Kicked in. You didn't hang with the jocks, but you weren't a geek. You were more of a skater boy, and people liked you. And the nice girls secretly crushed on you. How'd I do? CHASE: No girls crushed on me. ALEX: I said "secretly." CHASE: No girls crushed on me. I was a clean teen. ALEX: A what? CHASE: A clean teen. Virgin for life. ALEX: Wow. I didn't see that with my crystal ball. Why? CHASE: I wanted the first time to mean something. ALEX: So, um... How'd it go for you? CHASE: I let the clean teens down. I did, however, skate. I loved it. ALEX: See? I knew I was right about you. CHASE: All right. Let's play some golf. ALEX: Why are we stopping? CHASE: This is you. This is how far your drive went. ALEX: Okay, so maybe your drive was a little better than mine. And I think I was right about those girls crushing on you. But if I wasn't, I know one that's crushing pretty hard right now. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley washes Quinn's hair. QUINN: It's quiet around here. Where's Jamie? HALEY: Jamie has a play date with Chuck. I just wanted to make sure everything was really peaceful for you when you got home. QUINN: Hales, that's nice, but you don't have to change things around here because of me. You know, I can...I can get this. HALEY: No, you...I... QUINN: No, I can get this myself. I'm -- look, I'm fine, really. HALEY: The doctor said that he wants you to take it easy for right now, okay? And that's exactly what we're gonna do. I've got your room all set up. I'm gonna cook you a really nice dinner, and everything will perfect. Oh, I forgot. I wanted to call Nathan to make sure he stops by the beach house to get the rest of your things. HOSPITAL Nathan was answered at Haley's call. NATHAN(at phone): Yeah, no problem. Yeah, I'll stop by when I'm done with Clay. Yeah, I love you, too. Bye. CLAY: You've got an amazing wife, Mr. Scott. NATHAN: You play your cards right, you might have one, too. CLAY: No, I'm serious.

JULIAN: Yeah. So, uh, where's the little guy? HALEY: He's at a play date. JULIAN: Damn! I was hoping you'd let me kidnap him for the afternoon. HALEY: Aww, that's so sweet. He loves hanging out with you and Brooke. JULIAN: In fact...and I guess this is really why I'm here. I know you have a lot going on right now. You know, you need anything, anything at all, we want you guys to just pick up the phone. Okay? HALEY: Thank you. We will. JULIAN: Good. Okay. All right. I got to go. Um, tell Jamie hi, and give our best to Quinn. HALEY: I will. Thanks. JULIAN: I picked out the flowers, by the way. HALEY: You did? JULIAN: Yeah. HALEY: I'm sorry. I didn't reali...they're... I mean, gee, you did a beautiful job. JULIAN: Yeah? HALEY: Yeah. JULIAN: I mean, I was hoping for calla lilies, but I had to settle for regular lilies. I think the snapdragons really complement them. In my mind, they really make the arrangement. I'm just... Going to go. GOLF COURSE CHASE: Let me see. You owe me four dinners, three breakfasts in bed, a bunch of lap dances, and a car Wash. It's the last hole. Let's make it a good one. What are we playing for? ALEX: Loser does whatever the winner wants. No questions asked. CHASE: That's big. ALEX: Very big. CHASE: I admire your gusto. Ooh-hoo-hoo. Come on. You can do this. Just keep your head down. You know how to keep your head down, don't you? ALEX: Okay, that's heckling. CHASE: I'm not heckling. ALEX: Sexual innuendo is heckling. CHASE: Hey, that is your interpretation, not mine. I'm just giving pointers. ALEX: Heckler! Damn it, man! CHASE: Wait. ALEX: Oh! CHASE: Ho! ALEX: Yay! CHASE: She's still alive, ladies and gentlemen. It's a 30-foot putt, but she's still in it! CLINN'S HOUSE The house is still under seal. Nathan goes to pick some clothes for Quinn. He enters in the bedroom and sees blood on the fitted carpet. CHASE: Ohh! Come on! ALEX: Still in the game. CHASE: Okay, I missed. So make this putt, and you win the dare. ALEX: After what you've put me though, you better hope i miss this, pal. CHASE: Ah. Oh, come on. No! ALEX: Yes! Yes! Whoo-hoo! CHASE: Wow. Okay. Mm-hmm. Let me have it. What do you want me to do? Carry your purse for a week? Sing to you every night? Drive home naked? ALEX: Hmm. You need to kiss me... Right...Here. Whoo! NALEY'S HOUSE Quinn sees draw making by Jamie. CLUB TRIC Julian joins Nathan at the bar. JULIAN: Tough day. NATHAN: Tough couple weeks. I just left Clay's house. JULIAN: Oh. Anybody been out there since... NATHAN: No. And I'll tell you something. You walk into something like that, and suddenly all your own problems don't seem like such a big deal. JULIAN: Yeah. Well, I got next round. Can I get a couple beers here? NATHAN: Look, I've been meaning to thank you. JULIAN: For what? NATHAN: For spending time with Jamie. JULIAN: Oh. Don't mention it. He's a great kid. We've been playing baseball. Kid totally fixed my swing. He's great. He loves it, so... Nice work, dad. NATHAN: Baseball, huh? JULIAN: Yep, of course, he told me he's gonna play basketball like his old man does. NATHAN: You mean like his old man used to. JULIAN: What? I've been avoiding it now for a while, but, uh...My back is done. So... I'm gonna finish this beer, and then I'm gonna go home and tell my wife that I'm done playing. JULIAN: Wow. That's huge. When did you decide that? NATHAN: Just this second. JULIAN: Why? NATHAN: Haley's pregnant. Clay and Quinn are recovering, and, uh... I didn't even know my own son liked baseball. Listen, um...Give Brooke my best. And tell her I said not to be afraid of what comes next. JULIAN: Okay. NALEY'S HOUSE Halley brings a soup to Quinn. HALEY: Hey... I made your favorite chicken and dumpling soup, just the way mom used to make it. QUINN: What? HALEY: Are you okay? QUINN: Yeah. You know, some people are clearly just angels sent down to earth to take care of the rest of us. I'm just lucky that one of those angels is my sister. Thank you. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian goes home. JULIAN: Hey. Haley says Quinn loved the flowers. What's wrong? BROOKE: I'm gonna lose my company. JULIAN: What do you mean? I thought Victoria fixed it. BROOKE: She did. And you know how? By screwing our investors. We are surviving at the expense of all these people who put their hard-earned savings in our hands. JULIAN: Okay, well... There's got to be some other way out. BROOKE: I've gone over everything. There isn't. How can I set foot in my store, in our offices, knowing that I kept them by deceiving people? I can't. It's over. JULIAN: You know, Brooke... At the end of the day, all you really own in this world is your integrity and once you give that up, you can't ever buy it back. BROOKE: I know. JULIAN: Hey, come here. You're doing the right thing. And I love you for that. NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan brings back clothing of Quinn. HALEY: Oh, you've got Quinn's bags. You're a life saver. Thank you. NATHAN: How is she? HALEY: Um... She's okay, I think. I'm just glad she's home. Hey, um... I wanted to say thank you. NATHAN: For what? HALEY: For staying. I don't know what I would've done. I don't know how I would've gotten through all this without you. NATHAN: I couldn't imagine being any place else right now. HALEY: So, when do you leave for camp? NATHAN: I don't. I'm not going to. I've been thinking a lot about this, and I feel like my back is just too much of a risk. And obviously, this is a decision we have to make together. 'Cause if I retire, our life is gonna change. HALEY: Wow. NATHAN: Yeah. HALEY: Okay. Well, what do you want? NATHAN: I made it to the league, you know? I had a dream, and I lived it, and that is more than most people ever get. I just -- I have this voice in my head that keeps saying, "walk away from the game while you can still walk away from the game." And I just... I want to be healthy for you and Jamie and the baby, so even if that means never playing again... HALEY: Then that's what I want. Because if there's one thing I've learned from all this, it's that money and things don't matter. It's just...Us. And our family. NATHAN: Then I guess you better get used to having me around. HALEY: Are you okay... I mean, are you gonna be okay with this? NATHAN: I'll be fine. I'm ready for the rest of my life, and I'm happy I get to spend it with you. Nathan brings clothing in the room of Quinn. NATHAN: Just brought some of your stuff from the beach house. How you doing? QUINN: I'm okay. You know, when I'm not, Haley makes it better. NATHAN: Word of advice? Do what she says. I've found that to be the best strategy. Okay. QUINN: Nathan? NATHAN: Yeah? QUINN: How was it? The beach house? NATHAN: It's fine. It'll be good for you and Clay to get back home when...when you're ready. QUINN: Yeah. When we're ready. HOTEL ROOM Alex goes back in her room. ALEX: That was fun. I had a really good time. CHASE: Me too. And just so you know, I do think we make a pretty good twosome. ALEX: You're sweet. I would invite you in, but, um, I think I really like you, so... I'll see you. CHASE: Okay. That makes no sense at all, but I like you, too, so...good night. ALEX: Hey. Are you really leaving? CHASE: Yeah. ALEX: I knew I was right about you. Get in here. CRISIS INTERVENTIONS HALEY: I know it's scary that he's up there. Yes, well, if you leave him be, and he will come down, I promise. Yep, I'm sure. How do I know? I know because...have you ever seen a dad cat up a tree? Okay, that was rude. (Haley starts to go but phone rings) HALEY: See you guys later. Crisis intervention hotline. How can I help you? WOMAN: Yeah. Um... I'm not sure if I should be calling. I'm having a hard time, and I just needed someone to talk to. HALEY: Okay. What's your name? WOMAN: Do I have to give my name? HALEY: No. WOMAN: I'd rather not. HALEY: Uh, well, why don't you tell me what's wrong? WOMAN: Well, that's why I'm not sure if this is where I should be calling. Because it's... It's sort of everything, and it's nothing. I mean, when I think of my life and who I am... I guess I'm just struggling to believe in it all, you know? That good things will happen to good people, that things will work out, that it gets better. Are you still there? HALEY: Yes. WOMAN: Maybe this was a mistake. HALEY: No. It wasn't. This is exactly where you should be calling. Tell me what you're afraid of and what makes you feel like this. WOMAN: Failure, I guess. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE ATTORNEY: So, you see, even if you were to liquidate all the company's assets, you'd only be able to pay back your investors 70% of what they lost. BROOKE: What if I need it to be 100%? ATTORNEY: Well, that's just not possible. Where would you secure the cash reserves? BROOKE: What if I liquidate everything? ATTORNEY: Are we talking about your personal fortune? BROOKE: Everything I have. Everything I own. Will that do it? ATTORNEY: Yes. BROOKE: Do it. HOSPITAL Quinn lengthens on the bed beside Clay. HALEY(Voice-over): We all struggle. It's part of life. It's part of living. CLAY: Mm. What are you doing here? You should be home in bed. QUINN: We should be in bed. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian looks at the report which he made today about Nathan. HALEY(Voice-over): Do you have anybody that can help you while you struggle? WOMAN(Voice-over): No. And that's the worst part...the loneliness. A crushing, black loneliness that makes me feel like...like there's no magic left in the world. CLINN'S HOUSE Nathan cleans blood that there is on the fitted carpet. HALEY(Voice-over): I know the future is scary. I know the world can be thrat. But you should know that sometimes when things seem most the desperate, people find you. Help is out there. And you are not alone.

CRISIS INTERVENTIONS Haley is at her job. HALEY(Voice-over): Dear Lucas, well, I've been volunteering at a crisis center for a couple of weeks now. I'm struck by the number of people who are struggling in this world. And as much as that saddens me, I'm also humbled by their strength and the courage they display in the face of their struggles. HALEY: Crisis intervention. How can I help? WOMAN: Hi. Is this Haley? HALEY: Y... uh, yes. It is. Hi. It's good to hear your voice. How are you? BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian makes a report about Brooke. BROOKE: I've been better, that's for sure. In high school, my parents lost their fortune and it was difficult. I remember feeling so helpless and thinking, "I want to build something, own something, so this never happens to me." And here I am. JULIAN: Where is here? BROOKE: My company, Clothes Over Bros, declared bankruptcy which would have allowed me to keep the company but our investors would lose all of their money. So I've decided to pay them back... Every penny. But to do that, I have to sell the company... And deplete my personal fortune, as well. JULIAN: You're going to give away your money so that they don't lose theirs? BROOKE: Mm-hmm. JULIAN: And you have no obligation to do this? BROOKE: No. JULIAN: Then why do it? BROOKE: Because it's the right thing to do. JULIAN: I've been asking people this question. It's sort of the point of this documentary. It's a simple question, and I'd like to ask you. What comes next? BROOKE: I don't know. For me... I get to go and visit my mother in prison and tell her that I sold my company. Good times. NALEY'S HOUSE Quinn will remove its bandage. JAMIE: Did you do it yet? Did you do it yet? QUINN: No. I told you I'd wait, and I waited. JAMIE: Sweet. It's gonna be so gross. QUINN: It's gonna be totally gross. JAMIE: Come on, chop-chop. QUINN: You know, on second thought, I think I'm just gonna leave it. HALEY: Oh, no, you won't. The doctor said that you have to change the bandages every other day, and it's been three days already. QUINN: Okay, but Clay's probably coming home today. You know, it can be something him and I do together, like a...like a bonding thing. Some couples go bowling. We'll change each other's gn wounds. Besides, it feels kind of oozy. JAMIE: Awesome. Let's see it! HALEY: Quinn, I am a mother, and I volunteer at a crisis center. This is a piece of cake for me. Let's go. QUINN: Okay. It's not that bad, right? HALEY: I'm gonna throw up. JAMIE: Passing out here. QUINN: Haley! RIVERCOURT Nathan joins Mouth. NATHAN: Mouth McFadden. Spending a little time in the past? MOUTH: Yeah. I still come out here to think, you know? I miss it. How 'bout you? One last look before camp? NATHAN: Nah. I just came out here to think, too. MOUTH: Anything I can help with? NATHAN: Better be careful, Mouth. The last time you helped me, you got fired, and now you're sitting out here at the Rivercourt looking kind of creepy and stalkerish. MOUTH: This is true. You're on your own this time. Sometimes I wonder if I had to do it all over again, if I would. NATHAN: Yeah. Well, I don't know if I ever told you this, but I respected you so much for refusing to report that story. And I know a lot of other people did, too. MOUTH:Thanks. I just wish one of them owned a TV station now and could hire me. NATHAN: How's that going? MOUTH: Eh, not so good. I have a website where I do this sports podcast, but pretty much the only hits I get are from Millie pretending she's not Millie. NATHAN: Well, for what it's worth, I think the answer is yes. If you had to do it again, you'd do it just like you did the first time... 'Cause that's who you are. And that's a guy we all like and respect. MOUTH: I just wish I was doing better. NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan speaks with Jamie. NATHAN: How you doing without your computer and cellphone, Mr. technologically grounded? JAMIE: Fine. Bored. Did you tell Clay yet? NATHAN: Why do you ask? JAMIE: Well, at the risk of losing my Playstation, you avoid things, dad. It's what you do. NATHAN: I do not, you dork. Now come over here. Look... Clay is healing right now. He's recuperating. So I have to be respectful of that. JAMIE: So you didn't told him yet. NATHAN: No. JAMIE: You guys crack me up sometimes, you and mom and Aunt Quinn. You worry about stuff that doesn't really matter. NATHAN: Yeah? Well, you're short. JAMIE: Yeah, but I'm fast, and your back is messed up. NATHAN: You make a good point. Okay, I'll talk to Clay. JAMIE: I wish you were a bobcat, dad, and I know you do, too. And I figure if you're not playing, you must really think it's for the best. And if I can understand that, Clay will, too. PRISON Brooke visits her mom. VICTORIA: "Closed over Bros"? "Closed over Bros"! What the hell is wrong with you? BROOKE: Mom... VICTORIA: I am rotting in a prison! Prison! And you give away my company?! BROOKE: Ohh. VICTORIA: Our company. It's unforgivable. BROOKE: It was the right thing to do. VICTORIA:Screw the right thing to do! I'm in prison! BROOKE: Those people believed in me, mom. VICTORIA: I believed in you, too. Look where that got me. I leave you alone for a few days and you go back to being that stupid girl who follows her heart. I never cared for that version of you. I never will. Don't visit me again. ONE TREE HILL – CREDITS NALEY'S HOUSE Julian arrives inside of the house. JULIAN: Hey, Nate. NATHAN: Hey, man. What's going on? JULIAN: Ah, nothing. Just came from seeing Clay, actually. I wanted to talk to him about the documentary the whole "what comes next?" Theme seems to apply. NATHAN: You didn't say anything about me retiring, did you? JULIAN: No, I figured you hadn't told him yet. NATHAN: Why's that? JULIAN: Jamie says you avoid things. NATHAN: I'm totally gonna take that kid's Playstation. JULIAN: Well, if you do, maybe he could use this. My dad was a lifelong Pirates fan. When I was a kid, he gave me this glove and said it once belonged to Roberto Clemente. It must've klled him that I was such a horrible player. I thought Jamie might like it. NATHAN: Are you sure about this, man? This is probably worth a lot of money. JULIAN: Yeah, but it'll be worth a lot more when Jamie goes pro. Besides, that glove belongs on the hand of someone who loves the game. Me, I used to stand out in right field and chase butterflies. Trust me. The glove respects what I'm doing here. NATHAN: I'm sure it does. It probably didn't respect that you brought it here in a purse, though. JULIAN: That's a man bag. NATHAN: If that's your story. JULIAN: Just take the glove, man. NATHAN: I'm sure he's gonna love it. Thank you. Oh, and as far as your documentary goes, you should consider mouth. Talk about a guy who's starting over. JULIAN: Thanks. I will. Good luck with Clay. NATHAN: Thanks. JULIAN: It is a man bag, by the way. NATHAN: Oh, you mean that purse? HOSPITAL Nathan visits to Clay. NATHAN: Well, well. CLAY: Hey. Check this out. Right-side entrance wound... Right-side exit wound... Right-side kidney transplant. NATHAN: Strong. CLAY: Right. I'm done. NATHAN: Word on the street is you get to go home today. CLAY: Yeah, I think so. NATHAN: Well, I'm here for you, buddy. CLAY: I know, but you shouldn't be. You got to get to camp, man. You have a contract. You have a nice, new contract. And speaking of which, I hope it's not too weird for you, but my former employer is gonna be reppin' you for a little while. NATHAN: I see? Why? CLAY: Because I got sht. And they offered to represent my clients until I was feeling up to it, and I think it's the right thing to do. NATHAN: Aren't you worried about those guys stealing your clients? CLAY: Yeah. But what am I gonna do? I can't represent anyone right now. I can barely eat applesauce. You know, and anyway, if a client's gonna leave, they'll leave. At least I'll always have you... Unless you don't go to camp. NATHAN: Hey, listen, Clay, about that. I know how hard you worked for me to be a bobcat, and that will always mean the world to me. But the doctors say that my back is getting worse. And I've been doing a lot of soul-searching about it. I think it's time for me to stop. CLAY: I'm sorry, Nate. That's got to be really hard for you. NATHAN: Dude, don't say that. CLAY: Why not? NATHAN: Because I've been worried sick about how much this was gonna hurt you. CLAY: Me? Why...because of the new contract? NATHAN: Yes, because of the new contract. CLAY: Nate, you're my best friend and my best client. But your health comes first. Your family comes first. How long have you known this for? NATHAN: About my back? Pretty much since you got sht. CLAY: Ach! You see, this is what you do, man... you avoid things. NATHAN: I do not. CLAY: Yeah, you do. Even Jamie knows it. NATHAN: Yeah. We've established that, thank you. CLAY: You're a warrior, Nate. Man, I'm proud of you. And you're doing the right thing. As a matter of fact, if I'd have known there was any concern about your back, I wouldn't let you play this year. NATHAN: Thank you, Clay. That means a lot. CLAY: Any idea what you're gonna do next? NATHAN: Yeah. I'm gonna help my best friend rehab. CLAY: Did you see me own that applesauce earlier? St-rong! NATHAN: Very strong. BRIDGE Haley joins Brooke. HALEY: Ugh! BROOKE: I thought you weren't coming. HALEY: "Under the bridge"? Really? BROOKE: What? We always came here. HALEY: You and Peyton always came here. I was tutor girl. I wasn't cool "hang out under the bridge" girl. I've been searching under every damn bridge in Tree Hill. The homeless love me by now. BROOKE: Sorry. I turned my phone off. HALEY: We can talk now, Brooke Davis. Crisis intervention. How can I help you? BROOKE: So, I told my mom I'm selling the company... And she yelled at me. HALEY: Your mom always yells at you. BROOKE: Not like this. She was really upset... Like, "no going back" upset. HALEY: Brooke, if your mom hadn't made the choices that she made in the first place, she wouldn't be going to prison, and you wouldn't have to sell your company. This is all her own fault. BROOKE: I know you're right. It's just... After all the success... After all the money... The press, the awards, the celebrity... It's just been about getting my mom to love me... To tell me she's proud of me. That's all it's ever been. HALEY: Yeah. That's all it ever is. (Cellphone rings) HALEY: Hmm. I should really start a crisis hotline for my friends. BROOKE: It's called your phone number. HALEY: Tell me about it. Come on. CLUB TRIC Haley and Brooke joins Mia. HALEY: Mia? MIA: Shh! HALEY: Sorry. What, uh, what's going on? MIA: Don't look at the bar. I said don't look at the bar! HALEY: Okay. Sorry. MIA: Geez! I need you two to be honest with me. Do you think they're sleeping together yet? You can look at the bar now. HALEY: No. No, you're fine. BROOKE: I think they were having sex before he knew her name. We're talking about Alex. MIA: That's what I thought. So I made this voodoo doll of her. Check it out. HALEY: Okay. So...Here's what we're gonna do. I'm going to book you a show somewhere, anywhere and you're gonna get away for a little while. MIA: Why? HALEY: Because you're going a little crazy. And you, your mother was always a bitch, and you should suck it up and have a drink if it helps. BROOKE: You work at a crisis center? HALEY: Yes, I do. BROOKE: Well, those people are screwed, kind of like Chase, there. I'm sorry. It ju... HALEY: See? Crazy. BROOKE: Come on. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Julian knocks on door. JULIAN: Hey, mouth, I just wanted to talk to you about... MOUTH: Sure, come on in. Do you want a beer or a soda? JULIAN: Uh, no, thanks. I'm good. MOUTH: Do you have any beer or soda? JULIAN: Uh, no. Sorry. MOUTH: That's okay. Have a seat. JULIAN: Actually, I just wanted to talk to you about this documentary... MOUTH: I'd love to. How much does it pay? JULIAN: Well, nothing right now. We're just... MOUTH: Fine, I'm in, under one condition, we start today. JULIAN: Okay, well, I got a couple things I got to go do. MOUTH: Dude, do you know how lonely I've been? I haven't had a couple of things to do in weeks. So how 'bout you just clear your schedule, grab your camera, and let's sh*t this bad boy. JULIAN: Listen, mouth, maybe you should think about it. MOUTH: Come on, man. I need this. HOSPITAL Quinn goes to see Clay. QUINN: Hey, gorgeous. CLAY: Hey. QUINN: How you feeling? CLAY: Lucky to be alive. And to be here with you in all of your oozy wonder. QUINN: Oozy? CLAY: I talked to Jamie. QUINN: Oh! Gross. I don't want to talk about it. Sorry I'm not so pretty for you. CLAY: If that's your story. Come here. You know, before you walked in, I was lying here worrying about ISC stealing all my clients. And then I thought..."I'm lying here...Alive." And not just that, but I get to go home and wake up next to you every morning. That's about as close to perfect as it gets. Even on the days when your bllet wound is festering. QUINN: Ew. Oh! "Festering" is a horrible word. I don't want to fester. Gross. CLAY: This is a miracle, Quinn James. Let's try to remember that. QUINN: Okay. But I still don't want to fester. CLAY: I think that's fair. MOUTH'S APARTMENT MOUTH: Okay. I'm coming out. JULIAN: Mouth, I don't need you to tell me when you're coming out. I just need some footage of your everyday life. You know, just act like I'm not here and be natural. MOUTH: Natural. Got it. Okay, here I come. Wow. Big day in the market. That's good. Yeah. Yeah. Ooh! Been a little sore from working out. I like to keep in shape, keep everything looking good, feeling good. (Cellphone rings) MOUTH: Excuse me. Hello. CHASE: Dude! I'm surprised you still have a phone. Aren't you homeless yet? MOUTH: Nah, just, uh, just checking my stocks. Kind of crazed. CHASE: If by crazed, you mean lonely, horny, and desperate. Anyway, I was thinking about it, and I want to help you out so I can probably find you a few hours if you're still up for it. MOUTH: It's a job offer. They've been chasing after me for a while. CHASE: It's just bar backing at first, but we'll have a good time, and it'll keep the lights on. What do you say? MOUTH:Well, I appreciate the offer, and I like what you guys are doing over there, but you just need to call my Agent. CHASE: Your Agent? Right. I'm sure he's gonna want his 10% every time you clean the toilets or wipe the puke off the bar. MOUTH: We can negotiate that in good faith. CHASE: Okay. Here's the thing. I know unemployment sometimes leads to crack smoking, and I understand that, but I kind of thought you'd be a little more excited about this. So now I just need to hear you say, "Chase, I'm your bar back," and the job is yours. MOUTH: I can't commit to that right now. (Cellphone beeps) MOUTH: They'll get back to me. Magnum condoms. Well, that's embarrassing. JULIAN: What are you doing? MOUTH: What? JULIAN: The clothes, the hair, the condoms for the larger man. MOUTH: What? You said to act natural. This is who I am. This is how I dress. JULIAN: There's a price tag on the back of your jacket. MOUTH: Yeah. I can't remove it. I got to take it back after we're done. JULIAN: Mouth, this only works if I can film you doing whatever you do on a daily basis. MOUTH: Do you know how boring that's gonna be? JULIAN: Come on. It can't be that bad. Mouth shows what it does of the day, he watches the TV. MAN ON TV: It adheres to the tiniest hairs on your head you know that peach fuzz you always see? It actually thickens hair many, many, many times over. It actually builds on itself, giving you great, great-looking hair. Spray it on. Basically let that dry. JULIAN: You're right. This sucks. PEYTON'S OFFICE Nathan joined Haley at the office. HALEY: Yeah, we're very excited. Okay, great. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Talk soon. Bye. Hi. NATHAN: Do I avoid things? HALEY: You didn't avoid that question. NATHAN: Sorry. Hi, baby. HALEY: Hi. No, I don't think you avoid things. NATHAN: Thank you. That's what said, but apparently I do. Anyway, I talked to Clay. HALEY: Oh, you did kind of avoid that. Was he disappointed? NATHAN:Yeah, for me. You believe that?He was so incredibly gracious, I just guess I should've known he would be. What's going on with you? HALEY: Not much. Just booked a show for Mia in Portland. NATHAN: Oh, nice. You gonna go? HALEY: I don't know. NATHAN: You should go. Pretty soon you're gonna be all cooped up with the pregnancy. You should go have some fun. I'll stay here with the boy and take care of Clay and Quinn. HALEY: Well, maybe I will. One more thing. Come with me. This is a little game I like to call "make any sht and do whatever you want to me." NATHAN: Really? Is my girl frisky? HALEY: Crazy frisky. NATHAN: I like this game. You made me nervous. HALEY: Ooh, look at that. NATHAN: I do like this game. (Mia and Brooke come in) MIA: She's staying! BROOKE: Oh. She's referring to Alex. Looks like she's gonna be in town for a while. HALEY: Well, it's a good thing we're not. You're playing the K-100 festival in Portland. MIA: No, Hales, I have to stay here. HALEY: Why? So you can spy and pout and sab voodoo dolls in the face. I don't think so. Portland. You and me. It'll be fun. Come on, let's go. (Haley and Mia go out) BROOKE: I feel bad for Mia. Alex's powers are strong. I would know. NATHAN: And yet you're the one with the engagement ring. Not bad. BROOKE: Mm. Even if you did get it from Julian. NATHAN: Oh! Hey, you know what sucks? Being the only one who's giving up something that they love. Oh, and being the only one who has a love/hate relationship with their parent who's in prison. Wait a minute, you have one of those, too. BROOKE: Mm. NATHAN: How you doing with that? BROOKE: Not great. NATHAN: Right. Well, something tells me that Julian's gonna be there for you and that you're gonna be just fine. But just in case, we're still here, too. BROOKE: Thanks, Nate. Same. (Cellphone rings) NATHAN: Nathan here. HOSPITAL Nathan comes to see Clay. NATHAN: Tell 'em no. CLAY: Hmm? NATHAN: ISC. They called and said they'll be handling your clients, and I told them I was retiring. CLAY: Did you tell them why? NATHAN: Yeah. I told them all about my back, and you know what they said? CLAY: They said that you should risk it because it's a new contract. NATHAN: Yeah. CLAY: What do you expect, Nate? Those guys are agents. NATHAN: Those guys are douchebags. You're an Agent. I wouldn't let them anywhere near your clients. CLAY: Nate, I can't even get around. NATHAN: Yeah, but I can. Look, you asked me what I was gonna do next. Let me help you. Come on, you can run everything from your beach house. And when you can't, you just show me the ropes and I'll go where you need to be. Clay, you named your agency "fortitude" for a reason. Tell these guys to go screw themselves again. We can do this. No. Right hand. CLUB TRIC Chase comes to see Alex who reads a script. CHASE: What you reading? ALEX: Nothing. I mean, it's a script, but I get sent a lot of scripts, you know? So it's not really a big deal. CHASE: Anything good? ALEX: No, not really. Look, if it bothers you, I won't bring them into work. CHASE: Alex, it's fine. I was just curious. And by the way, you look amazing today. ALEX: Well, you are amazing today. And you kind of were amazing last night. Don't tell the boss about that. MOUTH'S APARTEMENT MOUTH: So, you sure you don't want to stay and hang out? JULIAN: Uh, yeah, the thing is... (knock on door) JULIAN: Thank God. MOUTH: Dude, can you get that? And if they ask for me, say I'm out. No, say I'm at work. The rent's a little past due. (Nathan enters) NATHAN: Hey. Took my advice, huh? JULIAN: Yeah. Thanks a lot. Mouth! MOUTH: Nate. Come on in. What are you doing here? NATHAN: Do you know what fortitude means, mouth? MOUTH: Sure. It means, um... Facing adversity with courage and strength. NATHAN: Well, I'm hoping that's what we're both doing here. JULIAN: Nate, could you just go back out and do all that again? NALEY'S HOUSE Jamie is in the garage, it seeks a ball of baseball. he sees the wheel chair that Nathan had. JAMIE: If I were a baseball, where would I be? Haley sees pensive Jamie in his room. HALEY: What's going on, jim-jam? JAMIE: Nothing. Just thinking about dad and the bobcats. HALEY: Are you sad 'cause he's not playing? JAMIE: Not sad. Just worried. HALEY: What are you worried about? JAMIE: Well, remember the last time when he couldn't play and he was in the wheelchair? Remember how sad he was? HALEY: Yeah. I remember that, but that's not gonna happen again, babe. JAMIE: Why not? HALEY: Because last time, basketball left your dad. And this time, your dad's leaving basketball. We're all gonna be just fine, okay? JAMIE: Okay. HALEY: I can't guarantee Chester's not gonna start drinking. JAMIE: Mom! HALEY: I'm just saying! He was a big fan of the fact your dad was a Bobcat. Come here. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke looks at the preparations of the wedding. BROOKE: Goodbye, sterling-silver wedding gifts. Goodbye, Willy Wonka chocolate fountain. Mm. Goodbye, Kings of Leon singing our first song. Not you. Not yet. JULIAN: You make sad look beautiful, Brooke Davis. What's going on? BROOKE: My mom yelled at me for giving up the company. She called me stupid. JULIAN: Yeah, well, your mom can be a real bitch sometimes. Okay, let me get this straight. Victoria lies about your profits, gets you arrested, then she yells at you for giving up your own money and your own company, a company you built and you love more than anything, to fix her mistake? Do I have that right? So are you gonna tell her how screwed up that is, or am I? PRISON Brooke visits her mother. VICTORIA: I thought I told you not to visit me. BROOKE: I know what you said. And if that's what you want, then that's what I'll do. But before I go, I just need to tell you something. All my life, I've tried to make you proud of me. Every decision I've made, every success, every failure, I've wondered what you will think of me. And I think I've done pretty well. I understand business. I understand what we could do. I also understand what's fair, what's right, and what's honorable. Do I want you to accept this and to support it and to be proud of me for it? Yes. But if you don't, it doesn't matter to me... Maybe for the first time. Oh, that's fine, mother. Roll your eyes. But hear me when I say to you that today was the last time you will ever call me stupid or speak to me the way that you did. I love you, mom. But if you can't accept this, the decision I've made, then I won't visit you, and you are not to visit me, not for my wedding, not ever again. What comes next is up to you. HOSPITAL Clay prepares to leave the hospital. QUINN: Wow. Someone makes standing up look kind of sexy. CLAY: Hey. QUINN: You ready to go? CLAY: Yeah. This is for you. A little birdie told me for some crazy reason, that you were feeling self-conscious about your injuries. I don't know much about fashion, but I do know that no woman alive wears a dress like the one I love. And nothing's ever gonna change that. QUINN: It's amazing. I love it. But I love you even more. CLAY: Well, that's good. Here's what I'm thinking. You put on that dress. I'll get my suit on. And let's get the hell out of here. And we're not leaving in that thing, either. QUINN: You sure? CLAY: Yeah. They wheeled us into this place. We're walking out. QUINN: God, you amaze me, you know that? CLAY: I'm just getting started with you. Clay goes out of hospital, everyone met for its exit. NATHAN: What'd you expect...confetti? CLUB TRIC Chase sees the script of Alex and looks at it. ALEX'S HOTEL ROOM Chase awaits explanations on behalf of Alex. CHASE: When's the movie start? ALEX: What movie? CHASE: About "Maggie, the young but hot bartender with eyes that hint at a broken past." ALEX: You read my script. You weren't supposed to read that. CHASE: You weren't supposed to lie about it, either, were you? ALEX: I'm an actress, Chase. You can't get mad at me for taking a movie. CHASE: I'm not. I'm...I'm happy you're taking a movie. You just didn't have to lie about it. ALEX: I didn't. I mean, I didn't mean to. CHASE: Did you know about it before you took the job at Tric? ALEX: Yes. CHASE: Great. ALEX: But it's not like that. They didn't even have financing at first, and it wasn't supposed to start right away, if at all. CHASE: So, when does it start? ALEX: I have to leave next week. Hey. I still have a week. We still have a week. I like you, Chase... More than you know. So can't we just make this next week amazing and then figure it out after that? I'll come back to you. We can make this work. CHASE: I don't think so. No. ALEX: Chase. CHASE: You shouldn't have lied to me, Alex. CLINN'S HOUSE Quinn and Clay return at home. QUINN: How you doing? CLAY: I'm okay... As long as we never leave again. That was a long climb up those stairs. QUINN: Come on. You should get some rest. We're gonna be okay. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley joins Nathan in Jamie's bedroom. He looks at his various shirts of basket. HALEY: Hey. NATHAN: My dad got me into a peewee basketball league when I was 4 years old. I've been playing organized basketball ever since then. And in the back of my mind, I always knew it was gonna come to an end someday. I just -- I didn't know it would end today. HALEY: Yeah. Your son is worried about you. He wants to know that you're gonna be okay without the game. NATHAN: How's his mom doing? HALEY: She's fine. And she knows that her man is gonna be just fine. NATHAN: I will be... Because of you. CLOTHES OVER BROS Haley join Brooke at the store. BROOKE: You look nice. HALEY: Thanks. So do you. Nathan has his press conference. BROOKE: Yeah, me too. Seems like a lot of things are ending. HALEY: Or beginning. Do you remember when you started all this? I remember the day, because we were in our apartment and you were sad about a boy and I told you, "Focus on your talent. Everything else will work itself out." And it did. Well. Now I'm here to tell you the opposite. Don't focus on your work. Focus on your life. You're young and beautiful, and you're in love. You have a wedding to plan. You have an amazing man who loves you. Focus on that on Julian. Everything else will work itself out. BROOKE: Bros over clothes? HALEY: Yeah. Bros over clothes. Come here. CONFERENCE Nathan announces his retirement publicly. NATHAN: Letting go is never easy. As athletes, we have an expiration date, and even if our professional careers are substantial, that expiration date comes pretty early. Sometimes our...our hearts are willing, but our bodies say no. And that happens to be the case with me. Because of this, I'll be leaving the game of basketball. CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke organizes her conference.

Instead, there's a long interview conducted by mouth McFadden at his website, mcfaddensports.com. CLOTHES OVER BROS BROOKE: I won't be taking any questions tonight. But I just want to ensure the investors of my company, now my former company, that you will all be paid back in full 100%. Our mistakes shouldn't cost you a penny, and they won't. People say, "it's just business. Don't take it personally." Well, I think business is as personal as it gets. Just because the system allows it, it doesn't make it right. NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan plays baseball with his son. NATHAN(Voice-over): Some people never get to touch their dreams, never get to know what that feels like...

CLINN'S HOUSE Quinn do not manage to sleep. NATHAN(Voice-over): So, is it a tragedy to have that taken away from you? No. The tragedy would be to lie awake at night, wondering, "what if?"

Quinn goes up on the floor to find Haley. QUINN: Haley! We have to go now! HALEY: It's too late. Nathan already bit me. QUINN: Oh, my God. HALEY: I think it's only a matter of time before I become a vampire, too. QUINN: You mean zombie? HALEY: I'm pretty sure he's a vampire. QUINN: Okay, look, it's kind of weird to be fighting about this, but he's definitely a zombie. HALEY: We'll just agree to disagree, okay?! Listen to me! You have to take Jamie. (Jamie enters room) JAMIE: Mom? HALEY: You're the only one that can protect him now... From the vampires. QUINN: Damn it, Haley -- (Haley transforms himself into vampire) QUINN: No! Oh, my God! Oh!

Well, you'll be happy to know I decided to pass out actual candy this year instead of apples. I know how much that embarrassed you last year. Excuse me. Why...why...why would you put that on when you know how I feel about clowns? Okay, I need you to stop staring at me. (Jamie enters living room) JAMIE: Hi, mom. HALEY: If you're there, who's the creepy serial kller on the couch? JAMIE: That's Chuck. She hates clowns. CHUCK: So does my mom. HALEY: So, uh, where'd you get that awful mask there? CHUCK: It's my dad's. He mostly wears it at night. Mostly. HALEY: Okay. JAMIE: Hey, mom, is dad still taking us trick-or-treating tonight? HALEY: Yeah, he, um... Can't stop talking about it.

NATHAN: Thanks, man. Hasn't really sunk in yet. CLAY: Hey, listen to this. "Agents for Troy Jameson went on record today stating that if a more realistic offer doesn't come in from Atlanta this week, they will immediately halt all negotiations and instruct the star quarterback to re-enter the NFL draft next year." NATHAN: Wow. They're bluffing, right? CLAY: No. Lesson one... these guys don't bluff. If they did, they'd lose leverage on all future negotiations. NATHAN: Leverage for other clients. CLAY: Other prospective clients. Yeah, you're catching on. NATHAN: So you're telling me Troy Jameson could miss out on his entire rookie season because his agents want to use him as an example for future clients? CLAY: Well, yes an... I mean, I'm sure that they're really trying to get him the best deal possible. But to do that, they have to take risks. NATHAN:Yeah, but the guys in the locker room are gonna hold that against him. And if there's one thing I know, it's the second you lose the respect of your teammates, you're done.You might as well pack up and go home. CLUB TRIC Millicent goes to see Mouth. MILLICENT: Happy Halloween, Marvin. I got you a little something. Isn't it cute? MOUTH: I've always thought abnormally small pumpkins were kind of cute. Thanks. MILLICENT: I listened to your podcast last night. I never thought I'd learn so much about the rules of cricket. MOUTH: Well, never hurts to know the rules, Millie. MILLICENT: I'll keep that in mind. Um, so, do you want to hang out later, after the party? MOUTH: Sure. That sounds cool. I'll see you then. MILLICENT: Okay. CHASE: So, you guys are finally back together? MOUTH: Ah, it's not like that. We're just hanging out. CHASE: Okay. This is just an observation, but, uh, I think she thinks you guys are getting back together. See, girls just don't give their pumpkins to anyone. MOUTH: Dude, handle your own girl drama. Mia comes in. MIA: Hey. Where did mouth get that tiny pumpkin? CHASE: Millie gave it to him. MIA: I didn't know they were back together. CHASE: Did you, uh, need a drink or something? MIA: No, I'm good. I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry Alex left town. I never wanted . CHASE: Look, we both know you wanted her gone. And now she's gone. You were right. I was wrong. Just do me a favor...don't pretend you care, okay? CRISIS INTERVENTIONS HALEY: Crisis intervention. ERIN: Hi. Haley? HALEY: Hi. You haven't called in a while. ERIN: I wanted to call, but... I figured I shouldn't be wasting all your time. I'm not the only person with problems. HALEY: Trust me. You're not wasting a second of my time. I look forward to your calls. So as long as you need someone to talk to. ERIN: Slainte, Haley. HALEY: Sorry? ERIN: It means "cheers." HALEY: Oh. Hmm, I like that. ERIN: So I was thinking... You don't even know my name. It's Erin. HALEY: Slainte, Erin. How you feeling today? BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian comes to see Brooke which bouquine on the catch. JULIAN: How you feeling today, beautiful? BROOKE: Not very beautiful. JULIAN: Oh. Okay. Well, I'm gonna go grab a mirror. Your reflection should take care of that. BROOKE: Stop. I'm not feeling very good about myself right now. JULIAN: You want to talk about it? BROOKE: What's there to talk about? It's gone. Clothes over bros, everything I worked so hard to build... it's all gone. JULIAN: Not all of it. BROOKE: Julian, I signed everything away. JULIAN: Hey, come here. Tell me something. Why was clothes over bros so successful? Actually, I'll answer that. It's because of you. Every design, every detail, every idea came from somewhere inside of you. And that's still there. You can't sign that away. BROOKE: But clothes over bros was me. Without it, I don't really know who I am anymore. JULIAN: Well, good news. Today's Halloween. And even though it's a highly overrated creepy witch holiday, the one perk of it is you don't have to know who you are. You can be anyone you want today. BROOKE: I'll get it. (Somebody knocked on the door, Brooke will open) SYLVIA: Trick or treat! BROOKE: Aren't you a little old to be trick-or-treating? SYLVIA: Ouch. But I guess you're right. So no candy for me. BROOKE: Can I help you? SYLVIA: Is my son here? BROOKE: Oh, please, God, no. JULIAN: Mom? I didn't think you were coming for another couple weeks. SYLVIA: Oh! Well, apparently, I'm getting old, so I figured, why wait? Why waste any more time? Who knows how much time I've got left, right, Brooke? BROOKE: Hi. SYLVIA: Hi. CLINN'S HOUSE Clay practices musculature with help of Nathan. NATHAN: Come on. Is that all you got? CLAY: Yeah. I think I need a break. NATHAN: Question, did you ever let me take a break when I asked you for one? CLAY: Question, have you ever been sht? NATHAN: Please tell me you're not gonna roll that out for the rest of our lives. CLAY: Get used to it, all right? Surviving a gn is the ultimate trump card. NATHAN: Okay. CLAY: I was thinking about what you said... about that quarterback, Troy Jameson. NATHAN: Yeah. Do you talk to him? CLAY: No. But you are. NATHAN: Yeah, right. CLAY: I'm serious, Nate. NATHAN: I can't do that. I'm not an Agent. CLAY: Yeah, which is a good thing, because if you were, it'd be tampering. NATHAN: I wouldn't even know what to say. CLAY: I don't need you to prepare a speech or anything, all right? Just talk to him. He's a good kid. And you have a point of view ever get a chance to experience. You've been inside the locker room. You know how these guys think. He'll listen to you. Look, if you want to help me out with the agency, this is where you can start. NALEY'S HOUSE Jamie returns in its room disguised in Harry Potter. CHUCK: Come on, Harry Potter! Quit stalling. I totally would've made a better Harry Potter. Don't you think, Madison? MADISON: No. I think Jamie looks really cute. CHUCK: Hermione has a crush on Ron. MADISON: What are you talking about? CHUCK: In the books. JAMIE: You didn't read the books. CHUCK: In the movies. Hermione has a crush on Ron. That's who she likes. Not Harry Potter. Just so we're all clear. JAMIE: Did I tell you I was gonna dress up as drag leg Laura tonight, but I didn't want Chuck to pee his pants again? CHUCK: I didn't pee my pants. JAMIE: Yes, you did. It was so bad, we had to Wash your clothes in the stream. But don't worry, Chuck. Tonight, my dad will be there to protect you. Oh, and if you have another accident again, we have a washer and dryer here t the house. CLINN'S HOUSE Quinn joins Clay in the bedroom. He prepares a basket of candies. QUINN: Hey. CLAY: Hey, you just missed Nate. QUINN: What's that? CLAY: This is a giant bowl of candy. QUINN: I can see that. What's it for? CLAY: Convenience. You see, this way, te trick-or-treaters can browse through a selection of candies and pick whichever kind they want. See, when I was a kid, I hated that the owner of each house would choose the treat for me. It's Halloween, Quinn. QUINN: I know. CLAY: But you're looking at me like I'm kind of the crazy candy guy. And you're still kind of looking at me like I'm crazy. QUINN: No. I just don't want random strangers on our front porch. CLAY: Well...Random little-kid strangers... Parents... Angsty teenagers who might decide to egg our house later. Hey. You okay? QUINN: Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I just haven't been sleeping much lately. But you know what? You're right. It's Halloween. So let's get dressed up and put out your giant bowl of candy and try to enjoy it. CLAY: Okay. RESTAURANT Troy joins Nathan at a table. NATHAN: Troy. Nathan Scott. Thanks for coming. TROY: You don't have to tell me who you are. You know, my dad took me to the final four when Maryland played Duke. Oh, you were a beast in that game. What'd you end up with, like 30 points? NATHAN: Honestly, I only remember the final score. And I'm pretty sure Duke ended up with more points than us. TROY: Yeah, but you sure did battle that night. It was amazing to watch. NATHAN: Thanks. You know, I've never watched the tape of that game. It was too painful. TROY: You ever need a reminder of how great you were, that's a good one to revisit. So that sucks about your back. I really liked what you said at your press conference the part about when our hearts are willing but our bodies say no. NATHAN: What about when your heart is willing but your agents say no? TROY: You think I'm making a mistake? NATHAN: I'm not here to judge you, Troy. You already know the score. You've missed half the season. There's nothing I can say that will bring those games back. But there still is a lot of football left to be played. And let's face it, you are a football player, a good one. So I think there's a point when you just got to ask yourself, whose holdout is this? Yours or your Agent's? TROY: You know... That question's been floating around in my head for about three months now. And after all this time, you're the first person to ask it. OTHER RESTAURANT Julian lunches with his mother. SYLVIA: I need a drink. JULIAN: What's wrong with the drink you're holding? SYLVIA: It's almost empty. JULIAN: Okay. I can't believe I actually have to ask you this, 333 00:15:09,141 --> 00:15:12,010 but do you like her? SYLVIA: Brooke? JULIAN: No, the waitress. Yes, Brooke. SYLVIA: She is very nice. JULIAN: And... SYLVIA: Well, she strikes me as a little high-maintenance, which wouldn't be a problem if she hadn't just lost all of her money. JULIAN: Look, just get to know her. Okay? Because when you do, I promise you'll fall in love with her just like I did. (Brooke comes in) BROOKE: Hi. Sorry I'm late. I just wanted to stop and pick this up on the way. It's, um, sort of a collection of ideas that I had for the wedding... What's left of them. I know we can't afford most of them now, but I thought you might like to take a look anyway. Might be a nice way for us to get to know each other. SYLVIA: Well... I like that idea. Thank you, Brooke. CLUB TRIC Mouth prepares the party. MILLICENT: Hey. Where's the pumpkin? MOUTH: Which pumpkin are you referring to? MILLICENT: The mini-pumpkin I gave you just a few hours ago. MOUTH: Oh, that one. Where did I put that? MILLICENT: You tried to carve it, didn't you? MOUTH: Yes. MILLICENT: And it caved in? MOUTH: It was a disaster. They should put a warning sticker on those things. MILLICENT: Mini-pumpkins are just for decoration. MOUTH: So, what's up? MILLICENT: Nothing much. I just wanted to stop by and say hi. MOUTH: Look, Millie, I just want to make sure we're both on the same page. MILLICENT: Okay. What page are you on MOUTH: I love hanging out with you.I-I just want to make sure you know it's not serious. We can't jump back into a relationship right now. I'm not ready. MILLICENT: Of course. I understand. MOUTH: You sure you're okay with it? MILLICENT: Yeah. It's no big deal. 377 00:16:59,218 --> 00:17:02,020 To be honest, I had been wondering what this was or wasn't. And, um...Like you said, it never hurts to know the rules. And now I know them. Thanks for telling me. Um, sh*t. I got to go. I'll see you later. RESTAURANT SYLVIA: Ah, these are, uh, interesting color choices. BROOKE: Thank you. I thought so, too. SYLVIA: I prefer more traditional tones, but... Well, this could work, in the right setting. JULIAN: Uh, I picked out the flowers. What? I did. SYLVIA: The flowers here they are beautiful, Julian. Oh. Is this the dress? BROOKE: Yes. Don't show that to Julian. SYLVIA: Oh. Sorry. Well, um... So the reason that I came a few weeks early is that I want to help with the wedding. Financially. JULIAN: Mom, what are you talking about? SYLVIA: I'm gonna pay for everything. Whatever you need... JULIAN: Mom, that is SYLVIA: I'm gonna make this the wedding that you both always dreamed of. BROOKE: Sylvia... I don't know what to say. SYLVIA: Well, you can start by calling me "mom." BROOKE: Okay...Mom. SYLVIA: No. After the wedding. BROOKE: Oh. SYLVIA: I'm kidding. BROOKE: Okay. SYLVIA: Welcome to the family, Brooke. Cheers.

QUINN: It's Katie she's outside. I saw her on the monitor. Clay, she came back. CLAY: Baby... QUINN: No, please. Don't. (Clay reopens the door and actually the mom of the children which assembled the steps) CLAY: I'm really sorry. NALEY'S HOUSE Chuck, Madison and Jamie wait until Nathan is of return to make the round of candies. CHUCK: Where the heck is your dad? All the good candy's probably gone by now. JAMIE: Shut up, Chuck. He'll be here. (Nathan is back) NATHAN: Hey, guys. You ready to go? CHUCK: Yeah. JAMIE: Yes. HALEY: Ooh! Look! You guys look so great in your costumes! Especially you, Chuck. tnk for not wearing the creepy clown mask. CHUCK: I couldn't. My dad needed it tonight. HALEY: Oh. Well... I wish I hadn't brought it up. CHUCK: Hey. Where's your costume?

CLAY: Yeah, well, they probably would've ended up in therapy, anyway. I thought you were doing better. QUINN: So did I. CLAY: Come here. QUINN: Aren't you scared? CLAY: Yeah, sometimes. But we have to live our lives. We can't live in fear. QUINN: We've been home for almost two weeks. And every night, I have nightmares. And every night, I wake up, and I check the security alarm. So I am living in fear. CLAY: Why didn't you tell me? QUINN: 'Cause I didn't want to burden you. You're still healing. CLAY: Baby, we're both still healing. Is it the beach house, or is it what happened to us? Because if it's the beach house, we can move. QUINN: I don't know. CLAY: Look, I'm gonna suggest something, and I really want you to consider it. I think you should take that photo assignment, the one in South Africa. I think it would be good for you to get away from tree hill for a few weeks, clear your head. QUINN: Clay, I don't want to leave you. CLAY: I'm gonna be okay. I'm not going anywhere. Just promise me you'll think about. QUINN: I just... CLAY: Just think about it, okay? I love you. QUINN: I love you, too. STREET OF TREE HILL The three children make their round. CHUCK: Hey, Madison... Did you notice that I have twice as much candy as Jamie? MADISON: Not really. JAMIE: That's because you keep grabbing handfuls when they say take only one. CHUCK: Don't hate. That's how I roll. How many more houses do we have, anyway? My candy bag is getting way too heavy. JAMIE: Is anybody even home? NATHAN: There's only one way to find out. Go for it. CHUCK: You sure you want to ring that bell? Guess you haven't heard about the guy who lives here. NATHAN: Here we go. JAMIE: What guy? CHUCK: Nobody's ever seen him. But I heard he snatches up kids who step on his porch. Then he makes them eat a bunch of food to fatten them up. Then he cooks them. NATHAN: That's "hansel and gretel." CHUCK: Or maybe he just chops them up. I can't remember. Nobody knows for sure. NATHAN: Okay. Knock it off, Chuck. There's nobody in that house chopping up kids. CHUCK: Yeah. You're probably right. I'm sure it's just a story. But you guys go ahead. I'll wait here. I'd like to live long enough to eat all this candy. MADISON: What do you think? JAMIE: Maybe. We should just go to the next house. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke returns with the disguises but Julian is already disguised in Dalmatien. BROOKE: Julian! Come see your costume! You're gonna love it!

CHASE: I call it the Chase-o-lantern. Enjoy the buzz. SYLVIA: Oh, God. That's bad. That is a bad drink. That is just terrible. Mouth talks with girls. Nathan comes. MOUTH: Yeah. You like these, huh? NATHAN: Nice six-pack. Still douche-y even when the abs are plastic. MOUTH: Yeah, that's what I'm going for. CHASE: Did you ask him? MOUTH: Not yet. I'm getting there. NATHAN: Ask me what? CHASE: You ever high-five Julian? NATHAN: What kind of question is that? CHASE: A straightforward yes-or-no question. MOUTH: You either have or you haven't. NATHAN: No. No, I've never high-fived Julian. Why? Have you guys high-fived him? MOUTH: I was the first. It happened the other day. And based on my experience, I told Chase he should instigate one, as well. CHASE: And I did. NATHAN: And am I missing something? CHASE: You got to do it, Nathan. MOUTH: He's standing right over there. Now's your chance. NATHAN: Are you guys being serious? CHASE: Yeah. If you don't, you'll always wonder. NATHAN: Okay. Nathan goes to see Julian. JULIAN: Hey, Nathan. What's going on? NATHAN: Not much. Just, uh... Just hanging out. Dude, that is an awesome dog costume. High five. JULIAN: Right on. CLINN'S HOUSE The children always comes to claim candies but the light of the perron dies out. Clay will seek a lamp of torch. CLAY: Good night. Sometimes they travel in packs. KIDS: Trick or treat! QUINN: Oh. Oh. CLAY: Uh, sorry for the technical difficulty. I'm going to get a flashlight. You okay? QUINN: I got the giant bowl of candy. CLAY: All right. QUINN: Okay. Here, let me give you some candy. CLAY: Hey, hey. Let them pick their own. QUINN: Oh. Sorry. Forgot the rules. Dig in. Get some candy. Okay, guys, come on. Come on. Dig in. Take as much as you want. Mmm! You want this one? (Clay goes in the room and discovers the revolver in the drawer of convenient) NALEY'S HOUSE The kids make the summary of the evening. CHUCK: Big surprise. Looks like I win. Unless there's a house that we skipped where you can get more candy. Oh, wait. There is. But Jamie was too scared. JAMIE: I wasn't scared. CHUCK: Then prov it. Let's go right now. JAMIE: We don't have anyone to take us. CHUCK: Now you're too scared to walk down the street at night? Maybe Madison and I should find a new friend to hang with. JAMIE: All right, fine. Let's go. STREET OF TREE HILL The kids go in front of the house which frightens them. CHUCK: Well, what are you waiting for? JAMIE: He's probably asleep by now. CHUCK: No way. He's too busy chopping up little kids.I knew you weren't brave enough to ring the bell. Fine. If you're too scared, then I'll go do it. Madison, protect Jamie while I'm gone. CHUCK: See? It's not that scary. (Chuck will sound with the door, nobody does not answer. But after a man traps him and takes him along inside the house) MADISON and JAMIE: Chuck! Chuck! Chuck! Chuck! JAMIE: No, back, back! MADISON and JAMIE: Chuck! Chuck! (Chuck returns with cut cranium, it was a joke to make fear in Madison and Jamie) CHUCK: Thanks, Uncle Joe. We hosed 'em. CLUB TRIC Other candidates, disguised as a clown, finish their songs. MIA: It's over. You can look now. HALEY: A clown band? You kidding me? MIA: Actually, they weren't terrible. Last act of the night coming up. Number 23. HALEY: Oh. Hmm. MIA: So... I never really thanked you for take me in Portland couple weeks ago and it was really good for me to get out of town and gain some perspective. HALEY: Yeah. We all need that sometimes. The twenty-third candidate starts to sing, Haley is surprised by his voice and awaits it in bottom of the scene. Chase goes to see Mia. CHASE: I wanted to apologize for snapping at you earlier. It wasn't fair. I know you're just trying to be my friend. MIA: Thanks. But I have a confession to make. I'm glad Alex is gone. I'm sorry. And I'm not saying it's me. But you deserve somebody who appreciates the kind of man that you are. And I know you're gonna find her, Chase. Mouth will speak in Millie. MOUTH: Millie, you ready to go? MILLICENT: Actually... I found a ride. MOUTH: You're going home with Spartacus? MILLICENT: Just playing by your rules. You ready? MOUTH: Damn it. The candidate finished her song. Halley happiness. HALEY: Hey. You were great, I mean really great. WOMAN: Thanks very much. Slainte. HALEY: Cheers. Brooke goes to talk with Julian's mother. BROOKE: Sylvia...I just wanted to make sure you knew how grateful I am that you're helping us with this wedding. SYLVIA: You're welcome, Brooke. I have a lot of ideas. I think we should consider going with more traditional colors. And I really would like you to take another look at the neckline on that dress. After all, those pictures are gonna last a lifetime. CLINN'S HOUSE Clay asks again the question. CLAY: I want you to take that photo assignment. QUINN: Gallery's gone. CLAY: Then I think it's important that you go. QUINN: Why? CLAY: Because this will save you. This won't. QUINN: I was scared. CLAY: I know. QUINN: I'll go. Just promise me you'll be okay. CLAY: I will be. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley joins Nathan who looks at a match of basketball. HALEY: Whoa. Is that what I think it is? NATHAN: Final four. HALEY: I thought this game was in the vault. NATHAN: You know how there re a handful of moments in your life that you just know while it's happening you're gonna remember it for the rest of your life? I had one of those moments tonight when I looked at Jamie HALEY: Why are you watching this game, Nate? NATHAN: I guess I just needed a reminder. HALEY: Of? NATHAN: My whole life, I knew one thing, that I was great at basketball. I always had that to fall back on. Now that basketball is over, I just... Just keep asking myself the same question over and over. Will I ever be great at anything again? HALEY: You'll find it. If there's one thing that I am not worried about with you, it's that you'll find something to be great at again. Come on. Turn it up. Let's finish the game. NATHAN: We already know how it ends. HALEY: The game... But not the rest of it. Come on. COMMENTATOR: And Scott ties the game on a three-pointer with a minute left to play folks, Nathan Scott is having one of those nights he's going to remember for the rest of his life.

PREVIOUSLY ON ONE TREE HILL SYLVIA: Trick or treat! BROOKE: Can I help you? SYLVIA: Is my son here? BROOKE: Oh, please, God, no. MIA: Hey. I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry Alex left town. CHASE: Look, we both know you wanted her gone. And now she's gone. Just do me a favor... don't pretend you care, okay? CLAY: I was thinking about what you said about that quarterback, Troy Jameson. NATHAN: Yeah? You gonna talk to him? CLAY: No. But you are. NATHAN: I can't do that. I'm not an agent. CLAY: Look, if you want to help me out with the agency, this is where you can start. SYLVIA: So the reason that I came a few weeks early is that I want to help with the wedding. Financially. JULIAN: Mom, what are you talking about? SYLVIA: I'm gonna pay for everything. I'm gonna make this the wedding that you both always dreamed of. HALEY: Crisis intervention. ERIN: Hi. Haley? HALEY: Hi. You haven't called in a while. ERIN: I wanted to call, but I figured I shouldn't be wasting all your time. I'm not the only person with problems. HALEY: Trust me. You're not wasting a second of my time. ERIN: Slainte, Haley. HALEY: Sorry? ERIN: It means "cheers." HALEY: Slainte, Erin. HALEY: Hey. You were great... I mean really great. ERIN: Thanks very much. Slainte. HALEY: Cheers. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian sees his documentary. Brooke joins him. BROOKE: I wonder if they'd all be smiling if they knew you were filming them from the bushes. JULIAN: I was just thinking about the wedding, and I realized I don't have a best man. Since I moved to Tree Hill, I've lived in this Brooke bubble, and I haven't gotten close to anyone else. Brooke? BROOKE: Sorry. I was just trying to envision a Brooke bubble. Who was your best friend growing up? JULIAN: Um... (Sylvia comes) SYLVIA: I was! Isn't that right? Ju-ju bee? JULIAN: 10-4, big mama. BROOKE: Okay, maybe it wouldn't hurt for you to have some male friends here. Why don't you bond with the guys today while I take your mom to the bridal expo? JULIAN: I can't go? Not that I want to. It's just... Are you sure you're gonna be okay spending the whole day alone with my mom today? BROOKE: Yeah. It beats spending the day with my mom in prison. Besides, she's almost as excited about our wedding as I am. SYLVIA: Ready? BROOKE: Mm. SYLVIA: Okay. BROOKE: Over and out, mama's boy. SYLVIA: You look pretty. PEYTON'S OFFICE Chase come in with coffee. CHASE: I thought you two could use a coffee break. HALEY: Hey! MIA: Thanks, Chase. CHASE: Oh. I heard pregnant ladies can't drink coffee. HALEY: Oh. Yeah. We can't. Juice would've been fine...that was really nice of you... glass of water. CHASE: No problem. Let me know if you need anything else. Chase, out. Sorry. HALEY: See you, buddy. So, things seem to be going really well with you guys. MIA: Yeah, now that Alex is out of the way, I can finally talk to him again. HALEY: Yeah. Oh, look... "knuckle-puss." Let's put that in the pre-hate file. MIA: We're never gonna find another artist. HALEY: Yes, we will. Okay. What about the girl from open-Mike night? MIA: She was awesome. Why? Do you know her? HALEY: Sort of. Her name's Erin. MIA: Great. So get her in here. HALEY: I would love to, but the only reason I know her is that she's been calling into the crisis center hotline. It's supposed to be anonymous. MIA: But you know as well as I do that artists love to hear how great they are. HALEY: Yeah. That's true. I think you're great. MIA: You're so awesome. CLINN'S HOUSE Nathan enters in the house and sees Clay dancing. CLAY: Quinn's out of town, man. What'd you expect? NATHAN: Literally, anything else. CLAY: Yeah. Hey, I got an interesting phone call this morning. NATHAN: Yeah. Sorry about that. Jamie's been calling everybody about this frog he found. CLAY: No, I... Jamie found a frog? That's awesome. No, but, uh... I just heard that Troy Jameson fired his agents. So if we want to sign him, we got to act fast. NATHAN: Great. What can I do to help? CLAY: I need you to fly to Atlanta and talk to the falcons' management. NATHAN: I was thinking more along the lines of getting you something for lunch. There's no way I'm ready for something like that. CLAY: Nate, all you got to do is go there and find out what's holding up Troy's contract. You'll be back in time for dinner. I mean, look, I would do it myself, but I'm under strict doctor's orders not to fly. NATHAN: Yeah. You feeling any better? CLAY: Yeah, you know, a little. You know, but it's still hard to move my right arm. So, that and the fact that Quinn's out of town is really klling my sex life. NATHAN: Well, that's why I learned how to dribble with both hands. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Mouth wakes up. He sees a man in his bed. He screams. Skills have him a joke. SKILLS: Oh, quiet, Mouth. Lucas had a rough night. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Alex is back. JULIAN: Alex, what are you doing here? ALEX: I had a few days off, and I wanted to come visit. What are you up to today? JULIAN: I was just gonna hang with the guys today. ALEX: Yeah, right. In your dreams, buddy. JULIAN: W... CRISIS INTERVENTIONS Haley is at her job. HALEY: Yes, it was all just a dream. Mm-hmm. That's why the top kept spinning. Yes, it was a little long. Okay. Thank you. Goodbye. Crisis intervention. ERIN: Haley? HALEY: Erin? Hi. I'm so glad you called. How... how have you been? Uh, have you had any luck finding inspiration? ERIN: Actually, yeah. I, uh... I got up and I sang at an open mike the other night. It felt great. HALEY: Good. Um... Can I tell you something? ERIN: Yeah. HALEY: I was there. You said "slainte" to me before you left. ERIN: What do you mean you were there? HALEY: Well, Red Bedroom Records is my label. I own it. And I think you're great. I would love to meet with you sometime. I... (She hangs up) HALEY: Erin? ONE TREE HILL - CREDITS BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian makes documentary about Alex. ALEX Hi! My name is Alex Dupre. You might recognize me from tabloids, rehab, and Internet prn. But I also do an occasional movie. JULIAN: Okay. Come on, Alex. Be serious. ALEX: Um...not long ago, I... I tried to commit su1c1de. JULIAN: Uh, okay, maybe not that serious. ALEX: Okay. What do you want from me? I didn't come to town to be videotaped for your perv collection. JULIAN: Okay, it's a documentary about what comes next for the people in my life. ALEX: That sounds really boring, but that's not why I came back, either. JULIAN: So why did you come back? ALEX: To talk to Chase. I didn't like the way things ended with him. JULIAN: Okay. Perfect. How did things end with Chase? (Alex takes the camera of the hands to him) ALEX: Let's see how you like it. JULIAN: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'm n... I'm not a part of the documentary. ALEX: You are now. So, what's up with this need for sudden male bonding? Come on, Clarice. Quid pro quo. JULIAN: Uh... I need to find a best man for my wedding. WEDDING EXPO Sylvia and Brooke are the exposition. SYLVIA: Ohh! Well, what do you think? BROOKE: I feel like bridezilla, and this is my little, unsuspecting Japanese village. SYLVIA: Ah. Thank you. To you and your wedding. BROOKE: Two of my favorite things. SYLVIA: Ooh! Matt McGraw photography. They would be perfect for your wedding. BROOKE: I'm sure, but I'm actually gonna ask my friend Quinn. She is an amazing photographer. SYLVIA: Quinn? Quinn who? BROOKE: Quinn James. SYLVIA: I've never heard of it. BROOKE: Okay, um... SYLVIA: Hello. This is beautiful. MOUTH'S APARTMENT MOUTH: "It"? SKILLS: Now, is that any way to talk about one of your oldest friends? MOUTH: Sorry. Where did you get... Lucas? SKILLS: We needed a stunt mannequin down at the job, so I had one made that look just like him. MOUTH: You don't have one of me, do you? SKILLS: Hell no. That would be weird. So, what's been up, man? You good? I was kind of hoping Millie would be here right now because Lucas wanted a three-way. MOUTH: No, that ended when she went home with a gladiator. It was Halloween. SKILLS: At least it wasn't the crow. You want to talk about it? MOUTH: Not really. SKILLS: You want to talk to Lucas about it? MOUTH: No. SKILLS: That's cold, man. Hey, look, at least we're here to cheer you up. We're going out, man, so go ahead and get dressed. But first, Lucas needs a bath. MOUTH: Ugh. CLUB TRIC Mia talks with Chase. MIA: Thanks again for the coffee. CHASE: It was a peace offering for the way I've been acting lately. MIA: Guilt coffee, huh? Yum! (Alex comes in) ALEX: Excuse me, bar manager. When you're done helping that little boy, can I get a drink? Can I talk to you? Alone. CHASE: I don't think so. We're in the middle of something. ALEX: Fine. Next time, I'll just text you. CHASE: Don't bother. ALEX: Sorry. I know that was hard for you. But... if you ever need to make that bitch jealous... I'm your girl. CHASE: Thanks. WEDDING EXPO SYLVIA: Now, there are three things to consider when selecting a church. First is pew size. BROOKE: Um, we are actually gonna have an outdoor wedding. SYLVIA: Oh. No. No, no, no. What if it rains? No, my son and beautiful daughter-in-law will not be married in a tent like circus folk. You can't control mother nature. BROOKE: Or mother Baker. SYLVIA: And even if it's sunny, there will be bees. BROOKE: Well... SYLVIA: But I guess you could always hang salami. BROOKE: That's what he said. Wait. What? SYLVIA: Salami keeps away the bees. BROOKE: But wouldn't that look awful? SYLVIA: You're right. That's why we should have it inside. BROOKE: But... PEYTON'S OFFICE Haley arrives, Mia is here. MIA: Hey! HALEY: Hey. MIA: Hey, you'll never guess who came in today. HALEY: Erin? MIA: Alex. HALEY: Oh. MIA: Yeah. She wanted to talk to Chase, and he blew her off. HALEY: Nice. I think you should talk to Chase and see if you can convince him to give her another chance. MIA: Hello? Why would I do that? HALEY:I don't know. I'm just trying to give you the same quality advice that you gave me earlier. Open-mike night? Crisis center girl? Is any of that ringing a bell? MIA: Okay. HALEY: Yeah, I talked to her today. I took your advice and told her how great I thought she was. And she hung up on me. MIA: Oh. Whoops. HALEY: "Whoops" is right. MIA: Well, Haley, you're the counselor. I mean, you should never listen to a musician for help out of a crisis. We're usually the ones in a crisis. HALEY: I'm a musician, too. MIA: Probably part of the problem. GYMNASIUM Nathan meets Troy's agent. AGENT: Nathan Scott. I got to say it's strange discussing a football player's deal with a basketball player. NATHAN: Retired basketball player. AGENT: Yeah, I was sorry to hear that, but I can't say I was sorry to see you go. You gave our hawks a bit of trouble last season. NATHAN: Well, hopefully I can make that up to you by getting Troy onto the field. AGENT: That'd be nice. We're trying hard on our end, but his former agents didn't exactly help his situation. NATHAN: And that's why they're his former agents. So, can you tell me where things broke down? AGENT: We agreed on everything except for one-timers and escalators. What did you have in mind in terms of escalators? Nathan calls Clay. NATHAN: What do you think I said, Clay? The only escalator I know about is the one I'm riding down from the office where I looked like an idiot! Whatever. I'm coming home. WEDDING EXPO SYLVIA: Ohh. Here we go! BROOKE: Oh, we can skip this section. I'm gonna make the bridesmaids dresses myself. I think all my girlfriends deserve a sexy Brooke Davis original. SYLVIA: Sexy bridesmaid? Ohh. Those two don't go together. No, honey, the whole point is for them to look ugly so that you look pretty, right? BROOKE: Well, I'm gonna look fine regardless. Sylvia, ugly bridesmaids dresses make me sad. They get one night out where they just get made fun of. And then it's off to the back of the closet, where they emerge as a bad joke on Halloween. SYLVIA: Oh, g... look how ugly this one is. You're gonna look so beautiful. PEYTON'S OFFICE HALEY(at phone): And there are no messages? Oh, okay. Yeah. Thanks. Bye. MIA: Maybe she's just busy. You know? I'm sure she'll call again. HALEY: I'm sure she will... to tell my supervisor I violated the one rule that they have. MIA: Haley, I'm so sorry. You shouldn't listen to me. I'm an idiot. HALEY: It's not your fault. I just... I should've listened to that monkey. I'm the idiot. (Nathan comes) NATHAN: I looked like an idiot. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Alex sees again Julian. JULIAN: I doubt you looked that bad. ALEX: Trust me. I did. I am never going to Tric again. And why does Mia always have to be there? JULIAN: Uh, isn't her label there? ALEX: Chase just flirted with her right in front of me. I mean, why do guys do stuff like that? JULIAN: I have no idea.I'll ask the guys later today if I can figure out a way to bond with them. ALEX: Guys aren't that tough to figure out, Julian. They like sex and poker. I go with sex, but I'd suggest you go with poker. JULIAN: Hmm. Isn't it a little late for a poker game? ALEX: So tell them it's for Clay. I mean, who'd turn that down? The guy almost died. JULIAN: That's genius. You're really good at trapping people. ALEX: I know, right? Oh, and invite Chase and let me be the dealer. That will give me a chance to corner him without that troll lurking around. JULIAN: Like, really good at trapping people. PEYTON'S OFFICE Nathan talks with Haley. NATHAN: You should've seen the way he looked at me. I haven't felt that stupid since high school. And at least then I could bat somebody up to feel better. HALEY: Well, don't bat yourself up. It was just your first try. Did you make the first basket you ever sht? NATHAN: Yeah. HALEY: Oh. NATHAN: To be fair, I was 2, and the basket came up to my waist. But stats is stats. HALEY: Well, if it makes you feel any better, I screwed up pretty bad with Erin today. She called in, and I told her I had seen her perform live, and she hung up on me. NATHAN: I'm sorry, babe. So we're both a couple of screw-ups, then. HALEY: Always and forever. (Their phone ring) HALEY: Brooke. NATHAN: Julian. HALEY: Hello? WEDDING EXPO Brooke calls Haley. BROOKE: Get your prego ass to the wedding expo, pronto! HALEY: Hi, Brooke. Love you too. BROOKE: I'm serious. Julian's mom is out of control. She's making me try on tiaras and wedding dresses. HALEY(at phone): I thought you were making your own. BROOKE: Well, so did I, but apparently Sylvia doesn't care. She's even picking out the bridesmaids dresses. And she wants them to be ugly, Haley! On purpose! HALEY(at phone): I'm on my way. (They hang up) SYLVIA: Ohh, you know what that dress is missing? BROOKE: Style? SYLVIA: That's right. A smile. PEYTON'S HOUSE HALEY: Well, I have another crisis to deal with, and if it's anything like this morning, Brooke's gonna cancel the wedding before tonight. NATHAN: Sweet. HALEY: Yeah. NATHAN: I'm gonna gamble all our money away in a poker game. HALEY: Rad! Screw-up superpowers activate. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian calls everybody. ALEX: Am I gonna have to give you a pep talk before every call? You act like you're asking these guys to prom. JULIAN: I should've called Clay first. What if he says no? Then I have to call Nathan back. ALEX: Wow, Julian, I haven't seen you this nervous since I took my clothes off in front of you. Just call, you wuss. JULIAN: Okay. (at phone) Hey, Clay. It's "J." J-man. CLAY(at phone): Jamie. What's up, little man? I heard you found a frog. JULIAN(at phone): Um, no. It's Julian. Uh, Baker. Brooke's fiance. The movie guy. We hung out in Utah. Wait. Jamie found a frog? Um, anyway, uh, never mind. Um, I'm just having some guys over for poker tonight. You know, poker night. You busy? CLAY(at phone): No. Uh, not busy. JULIAN: Okay, well, I... I'll see you later, then. Yes! He said yes! Yes! Whew! Nice! ALEX: Okay. Great. Good job. JULIAN: Oh, no. It's a text from Nathan. He's probably canceling. ALEX: Okay, take it easy, sensitive Julian. He wants to have the game at his house instead. JULIAN: Oh. ALEX: Probably for the best. NALEY'S HOUSE Julian arrives at the party. NATHAN: Hey, Julian's here. MEN: Hey! MOUTH: Come sit next to me, J-man. NATHAN: No, he's sitting next to his best man. MOUTH: I'm his best man. SKILLS: No, no, I'm his best man. CLAY: No, no, no, no. I'm his best man. CHASE: I'm bar manager! JULIAN: Guys, guys, you can all be my best men. MEN: Yeah! In fact, Julian dreamed. He glossies to sound itself to enter the house. JULIAN: Okay. Okay. Be cool, Julian. Just... just be cool. Be yourself. Hey, guys. W... what's wrong? ALEX: Julian's here! JUNK: Hmm. A girl. At poker night. CHASE: Good going, Julian! JULIAN: Ohh. WEDDING EXPO BROOKE: Please, Sylvia, no more dresses. SYLVIA: You're right. This is the one. BROOKE: Hey! What a random and... total coincidence. My best friend Haley is here! SYLVIA: Oh? BROOKE: Unexpectedly. SYLVIA: Where? BROOKE: Let's see what she thinks. Hales! (Haley comes in) HALEY: Oh, my God. You look so beautiful. Hi. SYLVIA: Hi. Well, I told her this is the one. I'm gonna put these two back. BROOKE: Okay. Are you kidding me, Haley?! I called you here to help me! HALEY: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I... you're right. I forgot how much my hormones act up when I'm pregnant. Sorry. I'm so excited you're getting married! NALEY'S HOUSE ALEX: If this impresses you, I can also cut the deck with my tongue. SKILLS: Hmm. ALEX: You ladies know how to play hold 'em, right? No-limit. When you're out, you're out. SKILLS: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Those are Lucas' chips. JULIAN: Sorry, Lucas. NATHAN: There you go. JULIAN: Thanks. SKILLS: Oh, yeah. I'm in. CLAY: So, how's the documentary coming along, Julian? NATHAN: Wow. I'm surprised you didn't send me to ask him. JULIAN: Uh, really well, actually. SKILLS: Oh, word? What's it about poker? JULIAN: No, it's about the people around me as they enter the next chapter of their lives. JUNK: Ahh. Poker sounds better. SKILLS: Which people? JULIAN: Actually, I've spent the last few days filming Mouth. CHASE: So you're following up your successful indie with a documentary about Mouth? MOUTH: What's wrong with that? CHASE: It's just weird. I mean, he hasn't even filmed me yet, and I'm your boss. Which reminds me, who said you could have the night off? SKILLS: Uh, Lucas did. You know, and since he owns Tric, he's your boss. Ha ha! My dawg! JULIAN: So, Clay, how you feeling? CLAY: A hell of a lot better since I got out of the house. I was going a little bit stir-crazy. ALEX: Are you kidding me? I could never get sick of a house where you can see the ocean from your bed. CHASE: How do you know that? JULIAN: So, who needs a snack? WEDDING EXPO SYLVIA: Ooh! You two are just in time. Steve over here gave us a deal on the last baby angel made of pate. BROOKE: Okay. Can... can we just slow down a bit? I... I wanted to come here to get ideas. But I don't really want to commit to everything right away. SYLVIA: Well, regardless, you are gonna have to pick a caterer at some point. Unless your friend "Quint" can cook, too. BROOKE: Quinn. Quinn. She's Haley's older sister. HALEY: Oh, Quinn can't cook to save her life, mnh-mnh. BROOKE: Well... HALEY: No. BROOKE: Actually, we were thinking, rather than a traditional dinner, we might have a constant flow of appetizers throughout the night so people can mingle and dance, and there's always new food. SYLVIA: No, no, no. People come to a wedding expecting dinner. Can't just pass around snacks like a backyard hootenanny. How about a Tuscan feast with a carving station? I think that's a bit much for me. BROOKE: Don't you think, Haley? HALEY: That sounds awesome. SYLVIA: Right. NALEY'S HOUSE CHASE: Of course you slept with Clay. Were you researching to be an agent or a slut? ALEX: That was before I even knew you. You act like I'd sleep with... anyone. JUNK: Hey. ALEX: No offense, Fergie. JUNK: I'm Junk. SKILLS: Everybody always mixes them up. FERGIE: Lauren didn't. JUNK: Right. She got you and Mouth mixed up. MOUTH: Hey, why you got to bring me into this? CHASE: Hear that, Alex? Mouth's available if you need to study more on bar-tending. But this time, at least try being honest about it. ALEX: I never lied to you. CHASE: No. You just conveniently left out the part about using me. I guess it was easier to let me figure it out for myself. There's a lot of that going around. CLAY: Oh, dude, come on. How long are you gonna stay mad at me? NATHAN: I'm just saying, if I wanted to look stupid, I would've stayed at home and played trivial pursuit against Haley. I didn't have to go to Atlanta. JULIAN: What were you doing there? NATHAN: I don't know. Clay, what was I doing in Atlanta? I mean, besides making an ass of myself? JULIAN: Uh, full house. CHASE: I'm bat. CLAY: Nice call, Julian. Poker night. NATHAN: Two bucks. Clay, please, tell everybody here what I was doing in Atlanta. CLAY: Well, I sent him to Atlanta so that he could talk to the Falcons' management, but he got stuck on an escalator. JULIAN: I always hated escalators when I was little. I thought the teeth at the bottom were gonna eat my feet. NATHAN: I'm glad you think it's funny. You know what... if being an agent means setting up your friends to fail, I don't want to be a part of fortitude. Two more. SKILLS: What's fortitude? CLAY: It's my agency. SKILLS: Sounds like it belongs on one of them inspirational posters with a dude paddling a canoe. CHASE: I have one of those hanging in my office. MOUTH: You mean above the bar? ALEX: You should name it adobe. SKILLS: Aw, hell. ALEX: Adobe is bricks made out of clay. So it would be like the agency built from clay. SKILLS: All right, now, that's cool. CLAY: The name of the agency is fortitude. SKILLS: I like adobe better. CLAY: Whatever, "Skills." JULIAN: Okay. I'll play. CLAY: Two pair. JULIAN: Uh, three aces. Who needs another drink? WEDDING EXPO SYLVIA: Champagne! BROOKE: Listen to me... unless you want your baby to be born with a dent in its head the size of my fist, you had better start agreeing with me. HALEY: Hear that, baby? That's auntie Brooke's way of saying she can't wait to meet you. BROOKE: Hmm! SYLVIA: Oh, wouldn't this champagne fountain look beautiful at your reception? BROOKE: It's... not really my taste. SYLVIA: Well, what kind of wedding doesn't have a champagne fountain? BROOKE: Mine. HALEY: Mine, either. I wish it did, though. I do. Brooke, it's so cool. Come on. This is like a fountain of happiness. SYLVIA: Ahh. That's what I thought, too. BROOKE: I know. You know, just excuse us for one second. I want to show Haley something. HALEY: What did you want to show me? BROOKE: The exit. HALEY: Why? BROOKE: I love you, but your hormones are not helping me right now. HALEY: Fine. But go easy on her, okay? She's so excited for you! BROOKE: You're doing it again! Go. NALEY'S HOUSE SKILLS: What's wrong with my name? CLAY: Well, it's not even a real name. I mean, what is it you're so skilled at? SKILLS: Everything. MOUTH: I think nicknames are cool. You never had one, Clay? SKILLS: Oh, no, he don't need one, remember? He has "fortitude." JULIAN: So, how'd you get yours, Fergie? FERGIE: My name's Ferguson. JULIAN: Oh. JUNK: Uh, my parents own a junkyard. Bet you want to sleep with me now. CHASE: She would if they did a remake of "Sanford and son." JULIAN: Oh, so, Mouth...uh, there's got to be a great story behind that nickname. ALEX: I have a few guesses. MOUTH: When we were kids, I used to do commentary for games at the river court. Then one day, Nathan came up to me, said I had a big mouth, and punched me in it. After that, it kind of stuck. NATHAN: No, I didn't. SKILLS: Yes, you did. You ht him hard, too. NATHAN: Damn it. I... I was a jerk back then. I'm sorry, Mouth. MOUTH: It's okay. It was a long time ago. And besides, I like "Mouth" better than "Marvin." NATHAN: You see that, Clay? That's how friends apologize to each other. CHASE: I'm glad I never had a nickname. MOUTH: Yeah, you did. CHASE: What was it? MOUTH: "Chaste." CRISIS INTERVENTIONS Haley comes see if she has a message. WOMAN: Hey, Haley. Isn't your shift over? HALEY: Uh, yeah, I just came by to see if anybody called or left me a message. WOMAN: Oh. No. Were you expecting someone? HALEY: No. I guess not. Shut up, monkey. NALEY'S HOUSE ALEX: Why Chaste? NATHAN: Because he was in the virgin club in high school. CHASE: Uh, I'm all-in. It was called the Clean Teens. JULIAN: I'm all-in, too. JUNK: Yeah, yeah, that's better. CHASE: At least I was a virgin by choice. ALEX: I think that's sweet. We didn't have anything like that in my high school. CHASE: Of course not. You went there. I'm all-in, too. NATHAN: Okay. Trip jacks. SKILLS: Straight. CHASE: Flush. MOUTH: Full house. JULIAN: Royal flush. NATHAN: Great. Well, that's everything. No money, no job. Thanks, Julian. Thanks, Clay. MOUTH: Thanks, Julian. - Thanks, Julian. MEN: Thanks a lot. Great party. Good time. JULIAN: So, who wants to be my best man? WEDDING EXPO BROOKE: Excuse me. Have you seen a middle-aged woman with short hair running around here like she's the bride? WOMAN: Uh, you just described every mom here. BROOKE: Right. She's probably stuffing the champagne fountain with bee-repellent salami into the back of my car. "Come down to the expo. We'll have a good time, have a few laughs." Yippee-ki-yay, mother Baker. I've been hanging around Julian too long. Come on, Sylvia! NALEY'S HOUSE Everybody go home. NATHAN: Oh. I'll take that. CHASE: Ahh. You guys want to grab a drink at Tric? SKILLS: Uh, that would've been a great idea about, what, an hour ago, before Julian cleaned everybody out. CHASE: No, I'm buying. See, I'm bar... MOUTH: Manager. Yeah, we know. CLAY: Hey, man. Can I talk to you for a second? NATHAN: Yeah. Julian joins Alex inside swimming pool. JULIAN: 10 bucks for your thoughts. I had a big night. Are you okay? ALEX: I never got to talk to Chase. He was just so mean all night. JULIAN: Wow. I... I... I didn't think it was bothering you. You seemed fine. ALEX: I'm an actress, Julian. The whole reason I flew back was to apologize to him, and I never got the chance. Now it's worse than when I last left. JULIAN: Then fix it. Everyone's over at Tric. You can go over there and apologize to him now. But when you do, just be yourself. Don't act. ALEX: Why not? I'm a great actress. JULIAN: Yes, you are, but you're an even better person. Let him see that. ALEX: Ah. I'm not that good of a person. I've been dealing you cards from the bottom of the deck all night. JULIAN: That wasn't luck? ALEX: Nope. It's probably why your male bonding didn't go so well. I forgot that guys hate to lose money more than they like sex and poker. I'm sorry. JULIAN: That's okay. I've always been better friends with girls anyway. Come on. Clay discuses with Nathan. CLAY: You're right. NATHAN: Well, that's the best start to a conversation I've ever heard. CLAY: I... I'm sorry I didn't prepare you for Atlanta. NATHAN: It's fine. I don't think I'm cut out to be an agent anyway. I never studied in school 'cause I could sht a basketball. CLAY: That's exactly why you should become an agent. NATHAN: Why? Because I never studied? CLAY: No, because you could sh*t a basketball. Look, not many of us on this side ever played or understand what that's like. You know, but you do. And the rest of the stuff you can learn. NATHAN: I don't know. CLAY: Yeah, but I do. Look, man, I know you struggled today. But my instincts tell me that you're gonna be great at this. And Troy must agree with me because he wants you to be his agent. Congratulations, you signed your first client... who happens to be a first-round pick. Not a bad start. NATHAN: I... I've never had a business card before. Oh. Thanks, man. CLAY: And, uh, by the way, an escalator clause... it's just an incentive based on playing time and performance. NATHAN: So, basically, it's a fancy word for a bonus? CLAY: See? Look at that. You're already talking like an agent. I'll see you tomorrow. NATHAN: Hey, Clay. Fortitude. Strong name. CLAY: It is, right? BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke puts Sylvia in bed. SYLVIA: Thank you, Brooke. You are wonderful. BROOKE: And you are drunk. SYLVIA: And thank you for loving my Julian. BROOKE: He makes it easy. SYLVIA: He is so happy. And that means the world to me. Ohh. I always wanted a daughter. And today was...well, it was just everything that I dreamed it would be. BROOKE: I had fun, too. Get some sleep. SYLVIA: Mm-hmm. Please don't tell Julian that I was drinking. He worries. PEYTON'S OFFICE Finally, Erin comes in. ERIN: Nice studio. HALEY: I was kind of expecting a bedroom. Um, j... listen, Erin. About earlier, I'm... I'm so sorry. I should never have betrayed your trust. ERIN: Let me ask you a question. Did you really like my music? Or did you just not want a su1c1de on your hands? HALEY: I really liked it. CLUB TRIC Alex comes to see Chase. ALEX: I'm sorry about the way I left things. And I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about the movie. I just... I knew if I did, it would ruin what we had. And I loved what we had. I should have told you that. CHASE: Huh. That's a good speech. Who wrote it? ALEX: No one. It's the truth. (Chase kisses Mia) CHASE: I guess the truth hurts, huh? (Alex punches him) CHASE: Sorry. I just... (Mia punches him) MOUTH: You're in the movie now, boss. Thanks, Skills. This did cheer me up. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian comes back at home. JULIAN: So, how was the expo? BROOKE: Your mom had a good time. JULIAN: Ah. What about you? BROOKE: We had a good time. How'd bonding go? JULIAN: Oh, guys are mean. I missed being in the Brooke bubble. BROOKE: Well, yeah. 'Cause it's the best place ever. Not that I've ever really been out of it. Mm. JULIAN: It wasn't a total loss, though. I won 200 bucks, and I found my best man. BROOKE: Oh, yeah? Oh... No. JULIAN: I won him from Skills. What do you think? BROOKE: I think you are never allowed out of the Brooke bubble again. JULIAN: It's either him or Junk/Fergie. BROOKE: Okay. "Best mannequin" it is. Make sure he gets a tux. Put that thing...why is there salami hanging from the lamp? JULIAN: I saw a bee. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley joins Nathan at bed. HALEY: So, guess what? NATHAN: What? HALEY: Erin is gonna come back tomorrow. I guess I didn't mess up as bad as I thought I did. NATHAN: You never do. Turns out I didn't, either. Troy Jameson wants me to be his agent. HALEY: Are you serious? NATHAN: Mm-hmm. HALEY: Oh, my God! That's amazing! See? I'm so proud of you. I knew you could do it. NATHAN: I haven't really done anything yet. HALEY: You signed the first client that you talked to. That's one for one. NATHAN: It was luck, Hales. HALEY: Stats are stats. You said so yourself. NATHAN: Well, I guess neither of us are screw-ups after all. HALEY: I guess not. You picked up Jamie from Chuck's house, right? NATHAN: I thought you did. HALEY: Ohh. NATHAN: Screw-ups. HALEY: Screw-ups.

PREVIOUSLY ON ONE TREE HILL ERIN: I got up and I sang at an open Mike the other night. HALEY: I was there. ERIN: What do you mean you were there? HALEY: Well, Red Bedroom Records is my label. I think you're great. I would love to meet with you sometime. CLAY: You're gonna be great at this. And Troy must agree with me because he wants you to be his Agent. Congratulations, you signed your first client. ATTORNEY: So, you see, even if you were to liquidate all the company's assets, you'd only be able to pay back your investors 70% of what they lost. BROOKE: What if I liquidate everything? ATTORNEY: Are we talking about your personal fortune? BROOKE: Everything I own. BROOKE: Can I help you? SYLVIA: Is my son here? BROOKE: Oh, please, God, no. JAMIE'S BEDROOM Julian makes documentary about Jamie but he doesn't speak. JULIAN: So, you think I could get a smile? Come on, man. Really? What, you're just gonna go the rest of your life without smiling? Well, what if I told you a joke? Or what if I made this sound? Blah-la-lu bloo-ba-do boo-boo-ba-do. Okay, well, do me a favor. Just smile for one second. And then you can live the rest of your sourpuss life in peace. How about it? I got to say, the braces aren't that bad, bro. I'm serious. I mean, maybe you could use a gold tooth or some bling, but overall, it's a good look. JAMIE: I think it sucks. AIRPORT Clay brings Nathan to the airport. NATHAN: This sucks. CLAY: It doesn't suck. NATHAN: It kind of does. CLAY: It doesn't, and it won't. NATHAN: It did the last time. CLAY: Yeah, well, last time was different, all right? This time all the terms are in place. The contract's a good one. I mean, all you have to do is just fly to Atlanta and convince Troy to sign the contract. NATHAN: There's that part that could suck again. CLAY: Oh, come on, dude. It's me and you, fortitude. Let's hear some spirit. NATHAN: Escalators are an incentive based on performance. CLAY: It's a start. Just get him to sign the contract. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE Brooke signs some papers. ATTORNEY: And sign here. Initial here. And sign here. Thank you, Ms. Davis. As of this moment, your ownership is terminated, and you are no longer affiliated with the Clothes Over Bros brand. May I have my pen? JAMIE'S BEDROOM Jamie looks at his dental apparatus. Haley comes to see him. HALEY: Hey. What? JAMIE: What's with the eye patch? HALEY: Oh. It's pretty cool, huh? JAMIE: No. How come you're wearing that? HALEY: Um, I don't know. It's just something new I'm trying. Hey, what time is your baseball practice today? I thought I would come by and watch and cheer...Loudly. JAMIE: Mom, no, you cannot wear that thing to my practice. HALEY: Oh, yes I can. And as long you pout about your braces, mama's rocking the eye patch all the time, everywhere. Arrrr! RED BEDROOM RECORDS Chase brings the mail to Mia. CHASE: This came for you and Haley. Just in case you wanted to slap me again, I thought I'd help you out. CLUB TRIC Mouth returns from the toilets, he meets Jerry, a former colleague. MOUTH: Jerry? JERRY: Mouth. How you doing, buddy? MOUTH: Well, I have a plunger in my hand, and you're wearing a suit, so let's go with, "not as good as you." JERRY: The station made me program director. You believe that? MOUTH: Definitely not as good as you. I'm really happy for you, Jerry. You deserve it. JERRY: Thanks. Dude, were you really just plunging toilets? MOUTH: Yeah. We really got to stop serving tamales at happy hour. JERRY: Well, you know how guys are, huh? MOUTH: It was the girls' bathroom. JERRY: So, listen... We all miss you down at the station. I'm gonna see what I can do to get you back, okay? I miss you, man. MOUTH: Thanks, Jerry. I really appreciate that. JERRY: I'll let you know, okay? I got to go. MOUTH: Yeah, s-see you later. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Sylvia comes to see Brooke. SYLVIA: Oh, Brooke, honey? I hope you don't mind, but I changed out those hand towels in the kitchen. Oh, and good news, I booked the banquet room at the Oaks for your reception. BROOKE: I can't afford it. SYLVIA: You know, I did have to pull a few strings, but it is so lavish. I wish I'd had my reception there. BROOKE: I said I can't afford it. SYLVIA: Well, you don't have to, dear. I told you, I'm taking care of it. BROOKE: I started my clothing line in high school. Did you know that? I made a website, and I sold clothes online. And ever since then, that is who I've been. That's what I've been Clothes Over Bros... Until today. SYLVIA: Oh, honey, I know you're hurting, but I really don't know what that has to do with the wedding. BROOKE: When I took the line to New York, I had to attract investors. And what I realized very quickly is that when you take their money, you take their input. I don't want to take your input. I'm sorry. I don't like the Oaks. I don't really like any of it. SYLVIA: Well, on your budget, there's always white-bread sandwiches and a box of wine. BROOKE: I just want a small wedding that I can afford... One that feels like mine. SYLVIA: Okay, you can have your small wedding. You know, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You have been curt to me ever since I got here. BROOKE: I have not. SYLVIA: Yes, you have, and I have news for you, missy. Just because you're upset with your mother is no reason for you to take this out on me. BROOKE: Just because your son is in love with me is no reason to take it out on my liquor cabinet. SYLVIA: You're a spoiled little bitch. BROOKE: Fine, drinky. SYLVIA: Good luck with the backyard hootenanny. BROOKE: Good luck with being old. And, by the way, I like my hand towels! (Julian, hidden in the guest room, with very heard conversation) ONE TREE HILL – CREDITS BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian makes documentary about Brooke. JULIAN: Has losing your company been the hardest thing you've ever had to face? BROOKE: Yes. Clothes Over Bros was so many things for me, a creative outlet, a career, my identity. Losing it is definitely the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. Or second hardest. You haven't met my self-pitying, passive-aggressive future mother-in-law. Or maybe you have. Julian talks with his mum. SYLVIA: You should have heard the way she spoke to me. JULIAN: Yeah, well, I'm sure you provoked her. SYLVIA: How can you say that? She's poisoned you. JULIAN: No one's poisoned anyone. Mom, come on. You know how you are. SYLVIA: And how is that? Tell me. JULIAN: You're just persistent. You want things your way. SYLVIA: All I did was buy her these hand towels these perfectly nice hand towels. And did she thank me? No. She lashed out at me with vitriol and malice. JULIAN: Well, I liked our old hand towels. SYLVIA: My only son poisoned. Huh. I need a drink. Can you get me one, please? JULIAN: Mom, you know I love you. And Brooke and I want you to be a part of our wedding. But it's our wedding. It's Brooke's wedding. It's not yours. SYLVIA: Yes, of course it is, honey. But she wasn't even going to serve a sit-down meal. Hors d'oeuvres? Julian, what's next, a cash bar? The chicken dance? JULIAN: People like the chicken dance, mom. SYLVIA: She has poisoned you with her hoo-ha. JULIAN: Okay. We're done here. SYLVIA: Well, are you gonna get my wine? Julian? Honey? RED BEDROOM RECORDS Erin records her song, Haley and Mia look at her. HALEY: She's great, right? MIA: Really great. HALEY: I know. MIA: She reminds me of me. HALEY: I want to work with her, but I think she feels really thrat by it, the idea of recording for a label. MIA: Well, think about it, hales. I mean, when we first met, all I had were my songs. HALEY: But I'm gonna protect her. She has to know that. MIA: Well, I'm sure she hopes that's the case, but she probably just needs to hear you say it and see you mean it. I know I did. HALEY: Yeah. CLOTHES OVER BROS Julian wants to enter the store but he receives a water balloon to his feet. he joins Brooke on the roof. JULIAN: Nice sht. I saw you up here, so I walked as slow as I could. BROOKE: Sorry. When Peyton was having a bad day, she used to come up here and throw water balloons at people to feel better. JULIAN: And? BROOKE: I scared a guy who almost fell. It was kind of fun. JULIAN: I'm sorry about my mom. BROOKE: I shouldn't have yelled at her. I'm just having one of those days, you know? JULIAN: Yeah, I know. But I also know that you're gonna figure out what's next, and it's gonna be amazing. BROOKE: You think so? JULIAN: I do. BROOKE: Thank you. But I still shouldn't be yelling at your mother. JULIAN: Here's the thing about my mom, she makes people crazy. She doesn't mean to. She just does. But can I tell you a secret? I haven't seen her this inspired in a really long time. BROOKE: Great. Now I feel even worse. JULIAN: No, don't. Just understand that my dad wasn't around very much, so all she really had was me, and all I had was her. And now I have you, and I'm sure that scares her a little bit. BROOKE: I should probably talk to her... And apologize. But first, do you think you could call her and ask her to come to the store so that I could ht her with a water balloon? JULIAN: Yeah, I can do that. You want me to go back down and walk around so you can practice? BROOKE: Would you? JULIAN: Absolutely. BROOKE: You really are the best fiance ever. JULIAN: Yes, I am. BROOKE: You want to ht me with that water balloon, don't you? JULIAN: So bad. BROOKE: Don't. Julian. Julian! CLINN'S HOUSE Clay tries to open one limps of preserve but he does not arrive there. CLAY: You got this. No, no. Mm. FOOTBALL STADIUM Nathan and Troy arrive at the stadium. NATHAN: Well, what do you think, Troy? Does this look like a place you could call home for a while? TROY: This looks like a place I could call home forever. NATHAN: I was hoping you'd say that. Come on. NALEY'S HOUSE Julian makes documentary about Haley. JULIAN: So I think it's interesting that you had a career, a marriage, and a son while you were still a teenager. What's your life like now? HALEY: Uh, well, now it's the best of both worlds. I still have a career and a marriage and a son. I still have my music. So... I'm happy, you know? I, uh, I'm really proud of being a good mom. And I'm proud of the work that I've done for Red Bedroom. Life is good. (Jamie arrive) JAMIE: Life is so not good. You're not supposed to laugh. HALEY: I'm sorry. My life is good. My son, on the other hand, is wearing head gear. Come here. Let me see. JAMIE: Damn it. HALEY: Hey! Excuse, maybe you could cut out the "being a good mom" part. CLUB TRIC Chase and Mouth enter in a room. MOUTH: Geez. I feel sorry for the guy who has to clean up this place. Which is me. CHASE: I'll be back. MOUTH: Oh, man. JAMIE'S BEDROOM Haley comes to see Jamie. HALEY: Hey. Can I talk to you? JAMIE: Sure. HALEY: Well, your dad and I thought about it, and we decided you can get your braces off if you want. JAMIE: I can? HALEY: Yes, if that's what you want. Besides...You don't need no braces. I mean, look at me. I never got no braces, and I think I look pretty fetchin'. You want a kiss? JAMIE: No. HALEY: I brushed my tooth for you. Come on. JAMIE: Okay, I get it, I get it, I get it, I get it. It's just... Chuck's gonna make fun of me. HALEY: Well, I remember when I got my braces on, I was really worried about going back to school and seeing all my friends. Uncle Lucas was the first person I saw, and you know what he said? JAMIE: What? HALEY: He said "Cool." And everything was okay after that. And I think your braces look cool. And if you decide your braces look cool, then who cares what Chuck says? JAMIE: Okay. HALEY: Yeah. JAMIE: Now you have to promise to never wear that eye patch again. HALEY: Okay, I won't. But I might rock these. Oh, yeah. I'm gonna need these to find you at school with your friends. JAMIE: No. HALEY: See, braces don't seem so bad after all this, huh? JAMIE: Uh, over here, mom. HALEY: What? Huh? Where'd you go? Jamie? Jamie? Jamie? Hmm. CLINN'S HOUSE Clay tries to open soup. CLAY: Okay. Ah, yes! Suck it, soup. Oh. FOOTBALL STADIUM Troy and Nathan see Tony Gonzalez to practice. TROY: Check it out. It's Tony Gonzalez. NATHAN: Guy's been in the league 14 seasons. First-ballot hall of famer, and he's putting in extra work. Take a break. (Tony comes in) TONY: Hey. How you doing, rookie? NATHAN: I think he's talking to you. TROY: I-I'm good. How are you, sir? Uh, Tony. TONY: I'm better than you. And better than you. How's your back? NATHAN: Oh, it's fine. Thanks. TONY: Man, you bat up on the hawks last year. NATHAN: Yeah, I kind of did. Well, hey, we didn't want to interrupt. Just wanted to say hi. TONY: All right. Well, it's nice to meet you. And you... This is a great team. It's an unbelievable organization. And I know you got to handle your business, but I'm telling you, you should be here with us. TROY: Well, I hope to be real soon. It was an honor to meet you. TONY: It's good to meet you guys, too. I'm gonna get back to work. TROY: Dude, that was Tony Gonzalez. NATHAN: That's pretty cool, huh? He's bigger than I thought he would be. TROY: Yeah, and he's only a tight end. You should see the defensive line. NATHAN: I'm so glad I played basketball. Guys are big, dude. TROY: And fast. NATHAN: Yeah. I hope you're faster. Seriously, man, what the hell were you thinking? CLUB TRIC Chase and Mouth talks together. CHASE: I don't know. MOUTH: So, let me get this straight, you have a rock star and a famous actress fighting over you, and you're not sure you want to be with either one? CHASE: It sounds worse when you say it. MOUTH: They do know you're a bartender, right? CHASE: Bar manager. MOUTH: Bar manager cleaning the storage room. CHASE: Bar manager who doesn't have to help you clean the storage room. The thing is, they both kind of screwed me up. MOUTH: So maybe you should move on. CHASE: Or...Maybe I'm lucky enough to get a second chance. CEMETERY Clay will be collected on the tomb of Will Bennett. CLUB TRIC Julian makes documentary about Mouth. JULIAN: Okay. So you were in Omaha. You had career momentum, and then you decide to come home. Why? MOUTH: I had a job here... And a girl. JULIAN: Then what happened? MOUTH: Well, I guess the heroic thing to say is that I took a stand for what I thought was right. But the truth is... I think I took what I had for granted. All of it. I miss Millicent. And I told her that we were just hanging out, but when I saw her leave with that guy on Halloween, I thought, "that guy's leaving with my girl." Chase and Mouth talk about this. CHASE: You should tell her that. She likes you. MOUTH: Yeah. CHASE: What you got there? MOUTH: Really good Tequila. CHASE: Guess what I got. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke joins Julian in his office. JULIAN: Thanks. BROOKE: Look how happy she is. JULIAN: Both of us. At least that day. How's my girl? BROOKE: Feeling a little untethered and disconnected. JULIAN: I'll bet. I'd be worried if you didn't. Come here. So, I've been thinking about this whole "being happy" thing, especially since I've been doing this documentary. And I feel like people get lost when they think of happiness as a destination. BROOKE: Like how do you mean? JULIAN: Well, we're always thinking that someday we'll be happy. You know, we'll get that car or that job or that person in our lives that'll fix everything. But happiness is a mood, and it's a condition, not a destination. It's like being tired or hungry. It's not permanent. It comes and goes, and that's okay. And I feel like if people thought of it that way, they'd find happiness a lot more often. BROOKE: So, you think it's okay to be a little miserable every now and then...Even when you have great things in your life? JULIAN: Is it okay to be a little hungry now and then? BROOKE: Happiness is a mood, not a destination. I like that. JULIAN: Well, for whatever it's worth, you make me incredibly happy, Brooke Davis. But we all struggle sometimes, you know? RED BEDROOM RECORDS Mia talks to Erin. MIA: That's nice. You're Erin, right? I'm Mia. ERIN: Hi, Mia. I love your music. MIA: Thanks. I love yours. ERIN: I hope you don't mind. The piano looked a little lonely. MIA: I don't mind at all. Actually, it reminds me of a day a long time ago that Haley found me playing piano. And the rest has been life-changing in a really good way. ERIN: How is she -- Haley? As a person, I mean. MIA: Amazing... And caring... And strong-willed. ERIN: Stubborn. MIA: Like all of us. She really is one of the good ones. ERIN: I want to believe that. But my songs are my life, you know? They're all I've got. To trust somebody with my music is to trust them with everything I have in the world. MIA: Yeah. Haley understands that. We both do. Believe me. But if you decide we're not the right home for you, just know that your songs are good... And you're good, Erin. I remember what it was like to hear that, how important it was. ERIN: It's everything. MIA: Yeah, I know. CIMETERY Clay talks to Will. CLAY: So, rehab sucks. And my right arm is still pretty much useless. Sometimes I just get so frustrated. And then I saw your picture. And I thought that if things were the other way around...I would be so pissed off at you for spending your days being bitter about this. So I'm not gonna do that. And I know that every day I'm alive is a day I have because of you. So I just wanted to say thank you. I'll do my best to earn this. FOOTBALL STADIUM Nathan talks with Troy. NATHAN: You have to earn it. And last year, when my contract was up, it was hard to know what to do. And with negotiations being so public, it was easy to compare myself to what other guys were getting or had gotten. And then one day I found myself getting bitter about it because my signing bonus wasn't high enough or they'd only give me two years instead of three. I mean, we're athletes. You know, we're competitive. We want to be the best and have the most and win. But then I asked myself a real simple question, when you were a kid, what was your dream? What was your dream, Troy? TROY: I wanted to be a power ranger. And I wanted to play football. I wanted to be a quarterback in the NFL. NATHAN: And did that dream have anything to do with escalators or the highest signing bonus in league history? TROY: No. NATHAN: You're here, Troy. And the money is more money than you probably ever dreamed of. But, hey, if you think you're worth more, there's only one place to prove that, and it's down there every Sunday. You can't prove it from up here. You have to earn it. TROY: Do you think it's a good deal, Nate? NATHAN: I do. TROY: Okay. NATHAN: That was a good speech, wasn't it? TROY: It was. The truth is, you ask any kid what their favorite time of year is, and they're gonna say Christmas or summer. For me, it was always the fall, because that meant football was back. This was the first time since I was 7 years old that the leaves changed color, the teams took the field, and I didn't. I want to play football. That was my dream when I was 7 years old, and it still is. I miss it. NATHAN: I know the feeling. NALEY'S HOUSE Julian makes documentary about Nathan. JULIAN: Athletes have a long history of overstaying their professional welcome. Why is it so hard to walk away from the game? NATHAN: I-I can't really speak for anyone else, but for me, I'm only in my 20s. And I have to give up the thing that I love to do and the one thing on earth that I feel like I was born to do. And some guys, they, uh, they miss the lifestyle, you know, the travel and the celebrity. But none of that stuff ever really mattered to me. JULIAN: What did matter? NATHAN: The rhythm of the game, the competition, the self-accomplishment. And I wonder if I'll ever find that adrenaline or that feeling of self-worth in something else. And I wonder who I'll be if I can't. CLOAKROOM OF FOOTBALL STADIUM Nathan talks with Tony. TONY: You miss it, huh? NATHAN: Every day. TONY: Man, but you did it. You took it as far as it can go. NATHAN: Said the man in his 14th season. TONY: Yeah, the man in his 14th season who doesn't want to leave without a championship. NATHAN: I can respect that. TONY: So, I hear the rookie's gonna sign his deal. NATHAN: Yeah, I suppose he's got a little bit of an uphill battle ahead of him. TONY: Nah. He'll be all right. And so will his Agent. Good luck to you, Nate. NATHAN: Thanks. You too. Hey, Tony. I hope you get that ring. TONY: Me too. A guy can't play forever. Take care. CLUB TRIC Chase and Mouth drink vodka. CHASE: Did I mention Alex's smile? Alex has an astounding smile. MOUTH: Advantage, Alex. CHASE: But Mia is so kind. Like, insanely kind. Drink that. MOUTH: Advantage, Mia? CHASE: This is trture. MOUTH: Especially considering how much you have left to do to clean this place up. CHASE: Nice try. Go back to work. MOUTH: Damn it. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke wants to talk with Sylvia. BROOKE: Sylvia, can I talk to you? SYLVIA: Yes. I'm just putting back your old hand towels. BROOKE: I want to apologize for the way that I spoke to you this morning. I am upset about losing my company, and I took it out on you, and I'm sorry. It wasn't fair. SYLVIA: Well, I appreciate that. I assume that you haven't changed your mind about wanting my help with the wedding? BROOKE: I haven't changed my mind about taking your money, no. It is a lovely gesture, but... SYLVIA: But you want what you want. And I understand. BROOKE: I love your son. And I know that the two of you have always been very close, so I know that the great qualities that I see in him and the things that I love about him came from you. You have done an incredible job. SYLVIA: Yeah. Well, I will always be proud of Julian. Just like I'm sure your mother's proud of you. BROOKE: I don't know about that one. SYLVIA: How could she not be? You are a smart, strong, successful, beautiful woman. BROOKE: Thank you. SYLVIA: You simply have poor taste in hand towels, don't you? BROOKE: Yes. You're right. I do. SYLVIA: I'm kidding. BROOKE: That is not fair. SYLVIA: Well, you called me old. BROOKE: I'm sorry. SYLVIA: Get over here. It's all right. It wasn't even the worst part of my day. BROOKE: Why? What happened?

NALEY'S HOUSE Erin stops by meet Haley. HALEY: I really appreciate you stopping by. Um, can I get you some wine or coffee or... ERIN: How about a pint? HALEY: Ah, Irish musician. Of course. I should have known. ERIN: Cheers. Your house is so big. It's really nice. HALEY: Thanks. ERIN: I assume you didn't buy it this way? HALEY: Uh...No. That was all me. I was going through some things. ERIN: Wow. Are you sure you're qualified to work at a crisis center? HALEY: I don't know about qualified, but, um, I've definitely been there. My mom passed away recently. And, um...She was pretty much my inspiration. So I kind of lost it. I felt like the world had let me down and God had let me down, and obviously, as you can see, one night, I thought music had let me down. And then eventually one day I wound up on the other end of a phone call with a girl that sounded a lot like me. So, yeah, it's a big house, but we're not that different. ERIN: What turned it around for you? Can you tell me that? HALEY: Just a lot of little things, stillness, the right song at the right time. This is probably not what you want to hear. ERIN: The truth's always worth hearing. HALEY: Yeah, it is. Just so you know, I hear the truth in your music. I do. I hear hope, and I hear a woman whose life can be anything she wants it to be. ERIN: You hear all that? HALEY: I do. ERIN: You're good. FOOTBALL STADIUM Troy comes to talk with Nathan. TROY: You're good. They told me it's done. NATHAN: It is. You're officially in the NFL. How's it feel to be rich? TROY: You tell me. I signed that for you. NATHAN: Ah, thank you. You ruined a perfectly good football, though. TROY: Uh, but, but seriously, thank you for your counsel and your clarity and all of it. NATHAN: You're welcome. Now, you go play the game like you dreamed of when you were a kid and appreciate it. It won't last forever. Go get them. Hey, Jameson. How's it feel to be an Atlanta Falcon? TROY: Like a dream come true. NATHAN: It is. CLINN'S HOUSE Julian makes documentary about Clay. JULIAN: So there's a theme of starting over that's running through all these interviews. But you're really starting over. CLAY: Yeah. And I have to admit that it's been a struggle. JULIAN: So, would you say this is the hardest thing you've ever had to face? CLAY: Without a doubt. You know, but then I think that if I didn't help him, who will? JULIAN: Uh, I'm sorry. Help who? CLAY: Oh. You meant -- you meant the part about me getting sht. I thought that you were talking about Nathan becoming an Agent. 'Cause honestly, that's been about as easy as teaching a monkey how to read. AIRPORT Clay comes to recover Nathan. CLAY: You sexy bastard. NATHAN: Piece of cake. CLAY: Yeah? NATHAN: No. I need a drink. CLAY: Done. I'm proud of you, buddy. NATHAN: I still got a lot to learn. Ahh. Thank you, man. I mean it. CLAY: Yeah. NATHAN: What is this? CLAY: Electric can opener.

I'll see you tomorrow. Julian makes documentary about Mouth. MOUTH: Do I wish I was doing better? Yeah. But I'm not alone in that. A lot of people are struggling right now. All I can do is just keep trying, you know? Get up, work hard, pay the bills, hope for something better. I think there's a nobility in that. That woman or man who's waiting for the bus after a long day's work...The parents who come home tired and still find time for their kids that's who I'm rooting for. That's who I respect. Julian makes documentary about Chase. CHASE: Alex is smart and talented and beautiful. And Mia is smart and talented and beautiful. And if I had to choose...Right now, I'd choose... JULIAN: Oh, wait.

Nathan replaces his balloon of basketball dedicated by the soccer ball dedicated by Troy. And Julian makes documentary about him. NATHAN: It's gonna be amazing to see Troy take the field as a Falcon. I-I know I helped him get there. And that feels good. It feels like the beginning of what comes next. FOOTBALL STADIUM Troy enters in the stadium as player.

I am Sylvia, Julian's mom. VICTORIA: Oh. Hello. BROOKE: Victoria was just leaving. SYLVIA: Don't be silly. A lady gets out of the big house, she deserves a nice, big glass of Riesling. VICTORIA: Thank you. Finally, someone with manners. SYLVIA: Hey, Fluffy salad. VICTORIA: Ambrosia. MILLICENT: You're gonna let them bond? That is such a bad idea. BROOKE: It'll be fine.

CLAY: No. No way. I'm taking you home right now. Come on. CLUB TRIC A customer arrives but Chase does not see him. He drinks and imitates hen. CHASE: Ohh. NALEY'S HOUSE Quinn speaks with her sister. QUINN: Hey, little sis. HALEY: Hi! Oh! I'm so glad that you're back. How was your trip? Tell me everything. QUINN: I mean, there's not that much to tell. It was work, you know? HALEY: Excuse me, you were on safari halfway across the world a million miles away. There's nothing to tell? How was the weather? How were the people? How was the food? QUINN: Okay, I will tell you everything, but later. Would I be the worst sister in the world if I told you I was exhausted and I just want Clay to take me home? I know it's Thanksgiving. You did an amazing job and cooked way too. Thank you. HALEY: Yes. Go. I get it. Be with Clay. And feed him. He's been sneaking my mashed potatoes all day. You're the best worst sister ever. QUINN: I'm thankful for you. Not just today, every day. Everyone sits down at table. BROOKE: Does it hurt? ALEX: Not as bad as when you ht me. MIA: Thanks. BROOKE Don't even think about it. VICTORIA: But...That table's for misfits. BROOKE: How perfect for you. SYLVIA: Victoria. Over here. I saved a seat for you. JULIAN: I don't like them being together. I don't care. ALEX: Doesn't she look like a turkey? MILLICENT: Not really. ALEX: She totally looks like a turkey. Haley makes a speech before eating. HALEY: Okay, uh, we have tons of food, so please dig in. And, uh, also, we have a tradition at our house of going around the table and saying what we're thankful for. I'll start. Um, I'm really grateful to be surrounded by such amazing friends and family, and, uh, I'm really glad that you're all here. MILLICENT: I'm thankful we're hanging out again. MOUTH: I'm thankful that you said that. ALEX: You guys need to do it. MIA: I'm surprised you haven't slept with him. JAMIE: I'm thankful for my baby brother. HALEY: Or sister. JAMIE: Whatever. I'm also thankful that Aunt Quinn is back and for Chester and I hope that Erin gets to see her parents soon. ALEX: I'm next. I am thankful that I'm hot and that I'm famous. SYLVIA: Well, I'm thankful... MIA: I'm thankful that I don't have to be a whore to be confident. ALEX: Well, I'm thankful that girls call me a whore, because it actually means that they're jealous that I'm prettier and more interesting than them. MIA: Oh, right, that's it. JAMIE: Mia, my mom says we have to switch seats. MIA: That is a great idea, Jamie. Thank you. ALEX: Gobble, gobble. VICTORIA: Brooke, can you pass the wine, please? BROOKE: I would, but it looks like you and Sylvia drank it all. HALEY: Oh, I'm thankful I have more wine in the kitchen. I'll go get some. NATHAN: I'm thankful my wife needs help. JULIAN: Please come back. SYLVIA: As I was saying, I'm thankful for my baby boy and that I could bring Brooke and Victoria together. BROOKE: You invited her? SYLVIA: It's Thanksgiving. BROOKE: Yeah. I'll take that. HALEY: Okay, sure. JULIAN: Yo. VICTORIA: Please, Brooke, can I have a glass before you chug it all? BROOKE: No. I've decided to stop giving things away. VICTORIA: Oh. Well, that's probably wise since you don't have anything left. BROOKE: I know what I'm not thankful for. HALEY: Okay, I think what we mean to say is that we're so grateful for what we have because we've been through so much this year, so many things that were not easy and things that make you realize you're all grown up and on your own. Hopefully we came out the other side stronger and with the realization that we really do have a lot to be grateful for. I just want to say that I wish my mom was here, because even if it felt bad, I would have the chance to make it better. And you two, fighting over a boy when you've got the whole world at your fingertips are you crazy? What some of us wouldn't give to be living our dream. So, maybe instead of focusing on what we don't have, we can focus on what we do have. ERIN: Slainte. JAMIE: That means "cheers," right? EREVYONE: Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! JAMIE: Happy Thanksgiving. VICTORIA: Eat. Dig in. Let's eat. NATHAN: Oh, thank you. Girls are in the kitchen to clean up. HALEY: Thank you. ALEX: Hey, Haley. Thank you so much for today. The food was amazing, and the company was...Almost amazing. HALEY: Sure thing, Alex. You're welcome. Feel free to any take leftovers. MIA: She already did that, hales. HALEY: Shh! ALEX: Do you mind if I take this pie for Chase? MIA: Uh, no, actually, I mind. I made it. ALEX: Well, I don't care 'cause I'm gonna take it. MIA: It's my pie. ALEX: Doesn't matter. MIA: I want it. It's mine. I want it. (Julian comes in) JULIAN: What's going on? ALEX: She's being greedy with her stupid store-bought pie. MIA: She keeps taking my stuff. JULIAN: They're fighting over a pie? BROOKE: They're fighting over Chase. JULIAN: Seriously? HALEY: Yeah. The pie made more sense, right? MIA: Haley. HALEY: Sorry. JULIAN: I know who he likes. Mia and Alex will view the documentary one which Julian made on Chase. MIA: What are you waiting for? Push "play." ALEX: But if he picks you, it'll totally wreck me. MIA: Wow. I actually agree with you about something. ALEX: Wait! Whoever he picks gets to be with him. No more fighting. No more games. MIA: Fine. CHASE(On TV): ''I guess if I had to choose, well, that's hard because they're both great girls. Amazing girls. But the truth is...I think they chose for me. I want to be with a girl who really wants to be with me, not someone who lies to me or broke up with me by text. I think I should just be by myself for a while.'' ALEX: Not what I expected. MIA: Me either. I thought he'd pick you. ALEX: Yeah, me too. Although I kind of panicked and thought it might be you. That pie smells really good. MIA: It is really good. And it's not store-bought, either. ALEX: Nice job. Brooke says goodbye to Haley. BROOKE: Hey. We're heading out. Thanks again for having us. HALEY: I'm so glad you came. BROOKE: Hales, I'm really sorry that your mom isn't here. She would be really proud of you. You are so much like her. HALEY: Thank you. Well, she's never very far. She's in my heart. BROOKE: You must think I'm awful for fighting with Victoria. I just... I wasn't prepared to see her today, and I'm not ready to forgive her yet. HALEY: I totally understand. But if you think you can fix it, do. Don't waste a lot of time, you know. You might not have it. BROOKE: Okay. HALEY: Anyway... BROOKE: I'm thankful you're such a good friend. HALEY: I'm thankful I got to watch you chug wine out of a bottle. Classy. BROOKE: Bye. HALEY: Love you. BROOKE: Love you, too. HALEY: Don't forget your jello salad. Victoria speaks with Sylvia before leaving. Brooke arrives. VICTORIA: Sylvia, it was a pleasure. Thank you. SYLVIA: Hey, it was a hoot, really. VICTORIA: Oh. Brooke. BROOKE: Victoria. VICTORIA: Martini lunch next week. SYLVIA: You got it. VICTORIA: Okay. Thank you. Yeah. (Victoria goes out) SYLVIA: Okay. Bye. Safe home. Well, that was lovely, don't you think? BROOKE: Yep. Lovely. SYLVIA: She just got out of prison, and I thought that you would want to see her. BROOKE: No, not really. Not at all, actually. SYLVIA: Well, I guess I was wrong. BROOKE: Yeah. Sylvia, I know that you mean well. And I really appreciate it, but you don't have to be so helpful all the time. SYLVIA: I just want everybody to be happy. BROOKE: I know, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have Julian. So you already gave me a lot of happy. Okay? SYLVIA: Mm-hmm. Haley gives some food to Erin. HALEY: The leftovers are the best part. ERIN: Thanks, Haley. It means everything that you included me. It's so nice to be surrounded by people that care about each other so much. HALEY: Yeah. I actually overheard you telling Jamie that you don't talk to your parents much. ERIN: I don't talk to my parents at all. HALEY: Oh. Can I ask why? ERIN: They didn't believe in my music. They told me I was throwing my life away, that I was wasting my time. I told them I couldn't respect a parent that didn't believe in their child, who told them their dream wasn't worthwhile. They said some things, I said some things, and...We haven't spoke since. HALEY: Well, we're just gonna have to prove them wrong, aren't we? Come on. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Mouth and Millicent watch the TV together. MILLICENT: It was a nice day. MOUTH: It was a very nice day. I'm glad we got to spend it together. MILLICENT: Me too. Marvin? MOUTH: Yeah? MILLICENT: You can kiss me now. CLUB TRIC Chase closed the bar. CLINN'SN HOUSE Clay and Quinn are lying. CLAY: Hey, you. QUINN: Hey. CLAY: I just got you back. Where you going? QUINN: I'm gonna develop some photos from my trip. I'm really excited. CLAY: Come here. Hey. I'm happy you're happy. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke and Julian go home. BROOKE: I destroyed that turkey. JULIAN: It might've been okay if my mom didn't spray it. BROOKE: No. You know, everything that's happened... Maybe it's okay in a way. I learned the important people, the important things, they don't go away. You're still here. JULIAN: And I'm never gonna leave. NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan and Haley are in the terrace. Jamie comes in. JAMIE: Mom, I have the wishbone. Make a wish. HALEY: Okay. You ready? JAMIE/HALEY: One, two, three. JAMIE: Whoa! Both our wishes are gonna come true. HALEY: Wow! JAMIE/HALEY: Awesome. HALEY: Listen to me. About school...You have more determination than anyone know. And I really, really believe in you, Nathan. NATHAN: Well, that means everything. HALEY: You want to know what I wished for? NATHAN: Yeah. HALEY: I wished that you would believe in yourself as much as I believe in you.

PREVIOUSLY ON ONE TREE HILL CLAY: We should probably make this Agent thing official. Just get me your college transcripts, and I'll set it all up. NATHAN: I never graduated. CLAY: You've got to have a college degree to do this. So I think you should go get those credits. MIA: Oops, didn't realize you already scored. My bad. ALEX: With Chase or in the game? BROOKE: They're fighting over Chase. JULIAN: I know who he likes. CHASE: I think I should just be by myself for a while. GROUND CLOSE TO A LAKE Brooke and Julian marry in front of their friends. They all are equipped with way countries BROOKE(Voice-over): Okay, Brooke Davis, this is it, the day you've always dreamed about. Don't cry. You still have pictures. And don't trip. You'll ruin your dress. JULIAN: You look real pretty, baby. QUINN: All right, y'all, say cheese. JULIAN: Cheese! FARMER: All right, y'all, we're fixin' to watch... Brooke and Julian get hitched. HALEY: Whoo! JULIAN: Yeah! Whoo! FARMER: Now, where'd those rings run off to? BROOKE: James Lucas Scott, are you drinking a beer? JAMIE: What kind of backyard hootenanny and pig roast would this be without it? BROOKE: Pig roast? JULIAN: Yeah, that's right, baby. Remember, we got the edible-ring-bearer special to save money? BROOKE: This is not my wedding. JULIAN: It sure is, and I think it's time you accept it. ALEX: Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo-hoo! JULIAN: Yeah, baby! Let's forget about the ceremony and drink to the honeymoon. (Laughing) BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke makes a nightmare. NALEY'S HOUSE Jamie revises his homework before going to school. HALEY: "Impossible." JAMIE: "Impossible." I-m-p-o-s-s...i-b-l-e? "Impossible." HALEY: See, there you go. Nice work. Sometimes it pays to go with your gut. All right, let's do, uh... "Broccoli." JAMIE: Oh, gross. That doesn't go with my gut. Please don't put that in my lunch. HALEY: Only if you spell it wrong. JAMIE: Okay. "Broccoli." B-r-o-c-o... no, no, no, no. "Broccoli." B-r-o-c-c-o-l-I. "Broccoli." HALEY: Nice save. Let's put it in dad's. So, are you getting excited for your spelling bee? JAMIE: As much as I can for a spelling bee. HALEY: What? I loved spelling bees when I was your age. JAMIE: Yeah. Dad said you were a nerd. HALEY: Hey, you tell our kid I was a nerd? (Nathan comes in) NATHAN: Yeah, many times. I'm not gonna lie to the kid, Hales. You do realize I'm going to college, not third grade. HALEY: Oh, you... you don't want chocolate pudding? NATHAN: Come on. I'll drop you off. JAMIE: Sweet. HALEY: Here you go, kiddo. Have a fun day at school, boys. JAMIE: Oh, yes! I got ho hos. NATHAN: Nope. You got broccoli. CLINN'S HOUSE Clay prepares the luggage of Quinn. CLAY: I wouldn't even consider leaving you if it weren't really important. But I need to check in with my clients to... QUINN: Don't worry. I understand. CLAY: Then why won't you come with me? QUINN: Because I have a lot of work to do on my photos. And I think I might go see Taylor. But I am gonna miss you. CLAY: I'm gonna miss you, too. NALEY'S HOUSE/ PEYTON'S OFFICE Haley makes her gym, her portable sounds. This is Mia. HALEY: Hello? MIA: Haley, are you sitting down? HALEY: Um...Sort of. MIA: Okay, good. Because I just booked Kid Cudi at Tric. HALEY: You w... What? When? MIA: Tomorrow night. HALEY: Oh, my God. That's amazing. MIA: Yeah, he had an opening on his tour, and I just grabbed it. Plus, I was thinking Erin should open. HALEY: Oh, I love that idea. MIA: Yeah, just sucks that nobody shows up for opening acts. HALEY: Yeah. Let me see what I can do about that. COLLEGE Nathan searches Kellermman's office. STUDENT: Nathan Scott? It is you. What are you doing here? NATHAN: Finishing up my degree. I'm actually just trying to decide which business course to take -- Stewart or Kellerman. STUDENT: Oh, Stewart, no question. All the athletes take him because you can sleep through the classes and still pass. It's cake. NATHAN: Yeah, but do you learn anything? STUDENT: You learn how to sleep sitting up. But I definitely wouldn't take Kellerman. I hear he's impossible. NATHAN: Thanks, man. No problem. KELLERMAN'S OFFICE Nathan knocks on the door. DR. KELLERMAN: Yes? NATHAN: Hi. My name is Nathan Scott, and I'd really like to take your class, but I need your permission to enter late. DR. KELLERMAN: I have no problem with that. The class has already gone through the first half of this one. NATHAN: In only two weeks. Wow. Okay. Well, I'm really looking forward to this. DR. KELLERMAN: We'll see. NATHAN: Okay. CAFETARIA Quinn comes to talk with Dan. QUINN: Excuse me? DAN: What can I help you with? QUINN: mrder. CAFETARIA Dan talks with Quinn. DAN: You look familiar. Did we sleep together? QUINN: No. I'm Haley's sister. DAN: Oh, so you slept with my son. QUINN: That was Taylor. DAN: Oh, right. So, you're the sister who wants to talk about mrder. Why come to me? I'm not a ht man. QUINN: Because you're the only person I know who's ever mrder someone, and anyone else is gonna try to stop me. DAN: But not Dan Scott, the reprehensible monster who flips burgers for a living. QUINN: That's not what I meant. DAN: What did you mean? QUINN: A woman tried to kll me and the man that I love. And I'm angry, and when I'm not angry, I'm afraid. Or at least I used to be. Not anymore. DAN: You're not afraid anymore? You should be. Have a seat. NALEY'S HOUSE Brooke says to Haley she have no inspirations fro her wedding dress. HALEY: So, how are the bridesmaids' dresses coming along? When do I get to see mine? BROOKE: Honestly... I have no idea. Your dress, even my dress... inspiration has been nonexistent lately. I literally had my entire dream wedding planned out. And now I'm redoing everything, and the more that I think about it, the more frustrated I get. HALEY: I'm sorry, Brooke. BROOKE: It's okay. Inspiration was just so much easier to find when I had money. HALEY: Okay, you know what? Out of sight, out of mind. You need a clear head in order to find your inspiration.. It's obvious this book is only confusing you. Nathan makes homework. Jamie asks if he plays with him. JAMIE: You want to play "Madden" with me? I'll let you be the Falcons. NATHAN: I'd love to, buddy. But I really got to concentrate on this right now. This is a really hard class. Why don't you call Chuck? JAMIE: Can't. He's grounded for using his name in the "banana-fana-fo-fana" song. NATHAN: What? What's wrong with that? Oh. Yeah. JAMIE: So, why is your class so hard? NATHAN: Because I've never really been good at school. And I got a really hard teacher. JAMIE: Yeah. Hard teachers suck. Try having Miss Lauren for two years in a row. NATHAN: But I chose this teacher. JAMIE: Why? NATHAN: Well, because sometimes the hardest things are the most rewarding. Do you know what the most important basketball game I ever played was? JAMIE: No. NATHAN: It was Kansas my hm* year. They were ranked number one. JAMIE: And you bat them? NATHAN: No, we lost by 3. But we were supposed to lose by 27. And if Kansas wasn't such a hard team, we would've never learned to play defense the way we did that game. And without that defense, we would've never made it to the Final Four. It's when you face the hardest things in life with will and hard work that you learn the most. And that's why I chose the hard teacher. JAMIE: That's good for you, I guess. I just wish Miss Lauren was a little easier, you know? NATHAN: It'll pay off. Trust me. Hey, speaking of which, isn't there a spelling bee you're supposed to be studying for? JAMIE: Oh, yeah. I'm ready. NATHAN: Oh, yeah? Okay. Spell "arbitrate." JAMIE: A-r-b-I-t-r-a-t-e. "Arbitrate." NATHAN: How did you get so smart? JAMIE: I have my mom's genes, too, you know. NTHAN: You also got her height. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian and Brooke find things. BROOKE: It was nauseating watching them chum it up at Thanksgiving dinner. How are you not at all annoyed that our mothers have ht it off so well that they've scurried off to New York together? JULIAN: If it means my mom being gone and giving us time alone, I'm all for it. What are we looking for, anyway? BROOKE: Inspiration. JULIAN: Ohh. What's this? BROOKE: No, we can just get rid of that. Ah. JULIAN: "Learn to speak French watch every James Bond movie." What's this? BROOKE: It's a list Millie made for me years ago when I was rich of all the things that I always said I wanted to do. JULIAN: "Climb K2"? BROOKE: Is "lose my entire company" on there? 'Cause we can go ahead and just cross that one off. JULIAN: "Go into outer space. Get drunk at Oktoberfest." Did you ever do any of these? BROOKE: No. But it was comforting to know that I could've anytime I wanted to. Maybe not space, but... JULIAN: Why didn't you ever do any of these when you were rich? BROOKE: Too busy getting rich, I guess. CAFETARIA Quinn explains what it's happened. QUINN: She sht us both at close range. A surgery and a seven-day coma later, I survived. And now I spend every night afraid to sleep in my own home, worried what's gonna happen when she finds out that we both lived. And on the rare nights that I do actually sleep, I have nightmares. DAN: What kind of nightmares? QUINN: About her coming back to finish the job. I'm not gonna let her do it. DAN: I've always preferred offense over defense, but mrder? QUINN: We can't live like this. I can't live like this anymore. So I'm not going to. And I don't trust the police. They couldn't even find her. And I did. DAN: She's pretty. I can see why Evans was sleeping with her. QUINN: He wasn't. DAN: That's too bad. If you do this... You'll lose a piece of yourself that you'll never get back. QUINN: I've already lost that part. I'm trying to do something so I don't lose everything else, too. DAN: All right, I'll tell you what. Go get some sleep. And tomorrow, if you still want to kll someone, you come and see me. BROOKE'S CAR Brooke enters in her car. BROOKE(at phone): I know that we said a 150 but we're actually gonna trim it down to 75. Well, how can it be more money for less people? Well, now there's zero. (Brooke starts the car) MAN(at CD): Bonjour! Je suis Paul. "Au revoir," "c'est la vie," "merci beaucoup" these may be French phrases you're familiar with now, but soon, you can live in Paris and never have to speak English again. How does that sound? BROOKE: That sounds amazing, actually. CLASSROOM Nathan arrives at his class but he is requested by students. STUDENT: Wow. Nathan Scott. NATHAN: Yeah. BOY STUDENT: Uh, can I get a picture? NATHAN: Yeah, sure, man. STUDENT: Thank you. Thank you so much. NATHAN: Nice to meet you. GIRL STUDENT: Can I get an autograph? NATHAN: Yeah, sure. GIRL STUDENT: Thanks. DR. KELLERMAN: If Mr. Scott doesn't mind, I'd love my students back so I can begin my class. Let's start in chapter 12. CAFETARIA Dan explains how to make a success of a perfect mrder. DAN: You'll need an industrial-grade hacksaw to properly detach the body piece by piece, lye to speed up the decomposition process, biodegradable plastic wrap to properly seal and transport the pieces, a shovel to bury them, obviously. Now, make sure you section the body into 20 pieces, spreading them at least five miles apart and no less than 4 feet underground, although I recommend 6. Oh, and a hammer. Don't forget about the dental records. Those will come back to haunt you. Finding someone's easy. Making sure they're never found again -- that's the hard part. From the look on your face, you never thought of any of this. This is what you want, isn't it? QUINN: I just... I want it all to stop. DAN: No. You don't just want it to stop. You've decided you're the one that's gonna stop it, and that's a whole new ballgame. And in that game, those are the rules. CLUB TRIC Chase arranges some bottles in the bar. CHASE: Alex. Hey. ALEX: Hey. CHASE: I've been wanting to talk you. ALEX: Oh, yeah? CHASE: Yeah. Apologize for the way I've treated you lately. ALEX: That won't work. CHASE: Don't want me to apologize? ALEX: I prefer top-shelf liquors to my right and well brands to my left, and we'll need twice as many pint glasses. CHASE: Okay. Why? ALEX: Haley asked me to celebrity-bartend tonight. And about that other thing -- don't worry about it. It's fine. PEYTON'S OFFICE Mia is angry, Haley doesn't pick her. MIA: That is so not fine. Why did you ask Alex and not me? HALEY: Because Alex knows how to bartend. MIA: Well, who do you think taught her? HALEY: Chase, right? MIA: But who taught him? Me. Uh-huh. HALEY: I don't know. Alex has like a million followers on Twitter. MIA: Okay, my 237,000 followers are a very dedicated group, Haley. HALEY: You want to bartend? MIA: Hell, yeah. HALEY: All right. You better go get ready. MIA: I will. HALEY: Done and done. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke is back and sees a gift in a chair. BROOKE: Julian, are you home? Someone broke into my car this morning and planted a French CD. And I'm really hoping it was you and not some psycho euro stalker. "put this on." Mettez cela sur. Oh. Ew. Brooke puts the costume. Julian comes to her. BROOKE: I'm all for trying new things, but I'm not sure I'm sold on this one yet. JULIAN: It's Oktoberfest. BROOKE: It's not October. JULIAN: Oktoberfest is a state of mind. BROOKE: Ohh. You're very clever with my list. JULIAN: Can I also interest you in a James Bond marathon, Miss Moneypenny? BROOKE: Okay, that was a terrible German accent. JULIAN: That's not German. It's Sean Connery. BROOKE: That was an even worse Sean Connery. JULIAN: I'm pretty sure I do a pretty good Sean Connery. Let's hear yours. BROOKE: Okay. Uh... I'll have mine stirred, not shaken. All right, fine. We'll go with yours. JULIAN: Splendid. Shall we begin, darling? CLASSROOM The teacher asks to Nathan to answer to a question. DR. KELLERMAN: Can someone please explain, using the terms from the book, how taking this class is like entering into a contract? Mr. Scott? NATHAN: Um... Um... DR. KELLERMAN: I know the book has the answers, Mr. Scott. I wrote it. I'd hoped you had the answer. NATHAN: I'm not sure. DR. KELLERMAN: Ms. Helbeck? HELBECK: By taking this class, we've made an offer to you that you've accepted based on our facility of intelligence, therefore setting the value at a standard worth your time and our money. DR. KELLERMAN: And to violate the contract is not only disappointing, but it makes your presence here irritating. The teacher finish his class. Nathan goes to see him. DR. KELLERMAN: Uh, I'll be back in my office, 4:00. NATHAN: Professor Kellerman? You couldn't have given me a couple classes to catch up? DR. KELLERMAN: $97,795. NATHAN: What? DR. KELLERMAN: $97,795, Mr. Scott. That's what a university spends, on average, for each athlete. Non-athletic students receive about $13,000 in academic spending. On top of that, nearly every school in the country operates their athletic programs at a severe loss, including your very own University of Maryland. Yes, I know who you are. I've been required to pass marquee athletes for years. And I'll have to pass more in the future. But I don't have to pass you. NATHAN: You know, I had a choice of professors. I chose this class. I intend to hold up my end of the contract. DR. KELLERMAN: I won't hold my breath. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke leaves the dustbin, she sees Julian on a motorcycle. BROOKE: I don't think there was anything on my list about squeezing two grown people on an oversized toy. JULIAN: You wanted to ride a motorcycle. BROOKE: I am quite certain that that is not a motorcycle. JULIAN: Motorcycle is a state of mind? It's all they'd let me rent without a motorcycle license. Come on. It's pretty fun, actually. It just feels like riding a jet ski, but on land. BROOKE: Oh, it sounds much safer now, thank you. JULIAN: Everyone in France rides one. They're quite fashionable. Hop on, mademoiselle. BROOKE: Is this thing even legal to take on the roads? JULIAN: Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads. CLUB TRIC Mia and Alex prepare drinks for tonight. ALEX: Maybe we should split the bar so we can each handle our own fans. I've got like 150 replies so far that say they're coming, so... MIA: Yeah, I'll have a ton of people, too. In fact, do you want to make a little competition out of it? ALEX: Okay, you're on. (Chase comes in) MIA: Hey, you. CHASE: I'm not sure I like this...the two of you bartending together. You know, after the whole football-game throwdown. ALEX: What? Are you worried about us becoming friends? CHASE: No. I'm worried you'll destroy my bar. MIA: Your terrible drinks already did that. ALEX: She's right. Things can only improve. You know, you should probably stay away from making drinks tonight and be our bitch. MIA: That's a great idea. ALEX: I know. Awesome. MIA: Wow. NALEY'S HOUSE Jamie wants to play with Nathan. JAMIE: Hey, dad, any chance we can play catch later? NATHAN: Sure, buddy. Just let me get some more studying in. JAMIE: What's the matter? NATHAN: Well, my teacher was mean to me today. Promise me you'll stay away from anyone with "Keller" in their name. JAMIE: Well, you could pull a prank on him. Chuck has a really good one with fre ants and honey. NATHAN: Thanks, Jame, but, uh, I'm okay. I just... I have to work harder to be better prepared for this next class, and it's gonna be tough for me because I have a lot of lists to memorize. And I've never really been good at memorizing things. JAMIE: Lists are easy. I have a really good trick. What's the list? NATHAN: Well, it's essential elements of forming a contract. Offer, acceptance, consideration, facility, and intent to create legal relations. JAMIE: Okay. O-a-c-f-I. Outside animals can't...Fart inside.

I just wanted to introduce you to Erin. Erin Macree, this is kid Cudi. ERIN: It's so nice to meet you. Can I just say...I love your stuff. KID CUDI: Thank you. I appreciate it. From what I heard, you might be the one everyone leaves here talking about tonight. ERIN: I'm sorry? KID CUDI: Well, if you're half as good as what Haley's been saying, you're gonna be a tough act to follow. ERIN: I'm opening? KID CUDI: You're opening, yes.

Good meeting you, Erin. ERIN: Oh, my gosh. I can't believe you're letting me open for kid Cudi tonight. How do I ever thank you? HALEY: Don't thank me. Thank Mia. This was all her little brainchild. Now, don't be nervous. All you have to do is remember to play. Don't think about ERIN: Nervous? No way. I'm gonna kll this. CAFETARIA DAN: So, how are you gonna kll her? That's cute. You're gonna need an untraceable gn. Contrary to what you've seen in films, you're gonna have to get in nice and close. In fact, the only reason you're still alive is that she sht you from across the room. Mm. So... If you're not close enough to feel the blood splatter on your face... Then you're not close enough. I suggest the heart. Head's too messy. QUINN: You're just trying to scare me. DAN: Scare you? No. I'm just trying to prepare you the best that I can. 'Cause watching the light go out in someone's eyes and knowing you're the one that took it, that's something that'll never leave you. And just remember this...the moment you pull that trigger, you'll never be the same again. For the rest of your life, it'll be there... With every breath. Are you ready for that? PLANE Brooke and Julian are on the point of jumping in parachute. Brooke wants to change opinion. BROOKE: Whoo. Absolutely not! JULIAN: But it was on your list! You've always wanted to do it!

Life is not about taking the breaths that... BROOKE: what? JULIAN: Hold on! MAN: We're gonna miss our window. BROOKE: It's okay. JULIAN: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." BROOKE: Did you seriously just quote "hitch"? JULIAN: Yeah, because it's a really great quote. Life is about breathtaking moments like this. Let's take the plunge. MAN: It's now or never, guys. BROOKE; Fine! Now, before I change my mind.

But, um, can I -- can I call you later on tonight? I love you, too. DAN: You couldn't tell him 'cause you know this is wrong. Look around you. Is this the life you want? A life of complete isolation from everyone you ever cared about? I ended two lives the day I pulled that trigger. And one of them was mine. Save yours. Don't do this.

You know, the people that say those kinds of things. They would probably also say that I'm still richer than I've ever been...

JULIAN: Yeah, I understand that. What I don't understand is why we live here. BROOKE: Oh, I don't know. Maybe because it's my home? JULIAN: Oh, well, my home was in Los Angeles, a home I gave up to be closer to you, because your work was here. BROOKE: And was that so horrible? JULIAN: No, but at least acknowledge that it was a sacrifice, one that I was happy to make for you. But your work isn't here anymore. BROOKE: That's mean. JULIAN: I'm not saying it to be mean. I'm saying it because there's got to be so many more opportunities for you in Los Angeles... BROOKE: I don't... JULIAN: ...and there's definitely more opportunities for me there. BROOKE: I suppose this was your mother's idea? JULIAN: Come on, don't drag my mom into this, please. BROOKE: Oh, how am I not supposed to? She drags herself into every other aspect of our lives. JULIAN: I said "please." BROOKE: You know, it all makes perfect sense to me now. You wanted me to lose the company. JULIAN: What's that supposed to mean? BROOKE: It means...You encouraged me to give it up, because it makes it so much easier for you to move us to Los Angeles! JULIAN: That's ridiculous. I... BROOKE: Is it? JULIAN: I tho... Brooke, look at me. I thought you would be happy there, but if you don't want to move there, that's fine. We'll just...We might have to spend more time apart. It's not that big a deal.

HALEY: Okay, you know what? Out of sight, out of mind. This book is only confusing you. SYLVIA: Oh, no, no, no. What if it rains? No, my son and beautiful daughter-in-law will not be married in a tent like circus folk. SYLVIA: I booked the banquet room at The Oaks. BROOKE: I said I can't afford it.

I'm gonna have to explain this tattoo for the rest of my life. ALEX: Oh, it's not that bad. I got this one, and nobody ever asks me why I got it. QUINN: Why'd you get it? ALEX: Until now. It's no secret I tried to kll myself. So I use this tattoo as a reminder to believe in something. I mean, it's the only failure that I'm proud of. Besides, if I hadn't have failed, I would've missed out on all of this. Right, boots? QUINN: Millie, check it out! You're only a few tattoos behind Dave Navarro!

I'm gonna walk home. I need to figure out what to say to him. HALEY: Come on, Dogust. Let's get you home. Come on. (The dog ate the plastic ring) ALEX: Did you just see that? QUINN: Oh, no! STREET Brooke walks with Sylvia. SYLVIA: Maybe this isn't the right time, but I want to say thank you. BROOKE: For what? SYLVIA: For last night. I have never won anything before. I'm serious. I know it may just be a small-town "wall of flame," but...I'm a champion. BROOKE: What am I gonna do, Sylvia? SYLVIA: Just be honest with Julian. He can be very forgiving. Trust me. I know. BROOKE: Please stop reminding me of how wonderful he is. I finally found the perfect guy, and I screwed it up. SYLVIA: Brooke, isn't Clothes Over Bros closed? BROOKE: Yes. Thank you for reminding me of another thing I've lost. SYLVIA: No. Brooke... (She sees Dave Navarro in the store) CLOTHES OVER BROS Dave Navarro cleaned up the store. DAVE: Hey! My shirt! Nice. And my Brooke. BROOKE: What...Are you doing here, Dave Navarro? DAVE: You...Locked me in? Well, don't play dumb. It's not the first time that groupies have kidnapped me. SYLVIA: Oh, no, I am no groupie. DAVE: Oh, yeah? Nice shirt. SYLVIA: Well, at least I don't wear my own band's t-shirt. DAVE: Honey, it was the only clean thing left on the bus, but, uh, it looks great on you. Why don't you hang on to that, huh? SYLVIA: Oh, thanks. DAVE: Hey, where's that other chick that I nailed? I want to apologize to her for the black eye. Okay. Well, this has been fun. This has been fun. But, uh, I got a show I got to get to, you two. All right? Take care, sweetie. BROOKE: Uh, actually... SYLVIA: Uh, no, no, no, no. Let it go. Let it go. He'll figure it out. DAVE: Oh, and, Brooke... By the way, you were amazing. I can't remember the last time I busted through that many condoms in one night. BIG HOUSE Alex gave drugs so that Dogust makes excrement. QUINN: Hey, how many did you give him again? ALEX: Should be any time now. HALEY: So, who wants to be the lucky lady? ALEX: No. HALEY: Millie? MILLICENT: Just call me "Boots." Apparently, that's my new name. I wish I knew why. HALEY: You know that cowboy bar with the mechanical bull? They've got a pretty crazy drink special. MILLICENT: The one where they drink out of that disgusting boot? What? Wait. Ew! ALEX: Why does every party I go to end like this? CLOTHES OVER BROS Sylvia finishes to clean up. BROOKE: I was worried Julian would call off the wedding when he found out I kissed someone. Now he's definitely calling it off. SYLVIA: It's gonna be fine. Hey, I made a lot of mistakes in my life, and I managed to get past all of them. I know a way that you can get through this. Don't tell him. BROOKE: Sylvia, marriage is about loving someone for who they are and accepting them for their mistakes. He deserves the truth. SYLVIA: Brooke, look what I found. BROOKE: A water balloon is not gonna cheer me up right now. SYLVIA: What about a water condom? FLASHBACK, ROOF OF CLOTHES OVER BROS Girls and Dave have fun with launching water condom. ALEX: Look. I'm Mia. QUINN: I'm me after being sh*t! ALEX: Oh, my God! DAVE: Nailed you! QUINN: Right in the eye! DAVE: This is the best night ever! ROOF OF CLOTHES OVER BROS BROOKE: Oh! Oh! SYLVIA: Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah! BROOKE: I knew nothing happened with Dave Navarro. SYLVIA: Ohh, me too. BROOKE: Still doesn't change the fact that I kissed someone. SYLVIA: Everything's gonna work out, Brooke. Haven't you ever forgiven somebody for a kiss? BROOKE: Well, I forgave Lucas when he kissed Peyton, but I never forgot it. SYLVIA: Has everyone dated this Lucas character? BROOKE: It was High School. SYLVIA: In a small town. Yep, and that is another reason that Julian should move back to L.A. FLASHBACK, ROOF OF CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke discusses with Sylvia. BROOKE: Sylvia, have you been trying to convince Julian to move back to L.A.? SYLVIA: Well, his life is there. BROOKE: But what about me? SYLVIA: That's a typical response from a girl like you. BROOKE: A girl like me? SYLVIA: Yeah, you're selfish. It had to be said. BROOKE: Oh. Okay. Something else that needs to be said, you smother him. SYLVIA: I do not smother him. BROOKE: You showed up here unannounced and then tried to bully your way into our wedding. SYLVIA: All right, you know what? I don't have to listen to this anymore. And I'm not gonna let some high-maintenance brat like you marry my son. BROOKE: Wake up, Sylvia! It's not up to you! If you'd stop drinking for five seconds, you would realize that your son is a grown man! Stop treating him like a child! SYLVIA: I do not! He does whatever he wants to do! BROOKE: Really? I have two words for you, dog costume! It's no wonder Julian moved away from L.A. BROOKE: No, he just came to be with a girl who can't even give him a family. ROOF OF CLOTHES OVER BROS BROOKE: I would give anything to give Julian a family. SYLVIA: I better go. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley comes with the dog. NATHAN: Hey. How deep did they go last night? HALEY: Deep. NATHAN: Nice. What's the craziest thing that happened? HALEY: Um, well, they...they kind of met Kellerman, and brought him home with them. NATHAN: August Kellerman? HALEY: No. Dogust Kellerman. NATHAN: Do I even want to know? HALEY: Just say you found him on campus? KELLERMAN'S HOUSE Nathan brings back the dog to its owner. KELLERMAN: Dogust! Oh-oh. Come on, boy. Yeah! Who misses who? Come on, big dog. Yeah, come on! Come on. Come on. Yeah. How you doing? How you doing? I missed you. Yeah. Yeah. Who's that guy? Who's that big man, huh? Vandalism. Theft. I could have you arrested, Scott. NATHAN: I don't think so. We have a binding contract. No questions asked. And according to what you wrote in Chapter 11 on moral conduct, the best thing for you to do in this situation is to say "thank you." It's not bad for an uneducated jock, huh? See you in class, Kellerman. KELLERMAN: Come on, Dogust. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke backs to go home. JULIAN: Don't tell me your night is just now ending. BROOKE: What happens at a bachelorette party... JULIAN: Oh, wait, wait. I thought that stupid rule never applies. How was girl bonding time with my mom? BROOKE: We got into a fight. JULIAN: Oh, I'm sure it was just the alcohol talking. BROOKE: Well, the alcohol said some really mean things. JULIAN: She doesn't mean it. BROOKE: I said some pretty mean things, too. JULIAN: Don't worry about it. You'll...you'll work it out at the rehearsal dinner, okay? BROOKE: We might not need the rehearsal dinner anymore. I don't deserve you, Julian. I did something horrible. Well Two things. I lost my engagement ring and I kissed some guy. I promise you it will never happen again, and it didn't mean anything. I-I don't even remember who he was. JULIAN: I do. FLASHBACK, SPORTS BAR Julian joins Brooke in this bar. BROOKE: Hi! Baby! JULIAN: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hi. So, what was so important that I had to come all the way down here? BROOKE: Well, I was looking at this earlier, and I realized I needed to tell you something right away. I love you. I mean, I really, really love you. JULIAN: Mm. Mm! Uh-oh. Oh, my. I'm gonna hold on to this for you. BROOKE: No. JULIAN: Mm-hmm. BROOKE: I feel so naked. You should get naked. JULIAN: No. BROOKE: Yeah. Take it off. JULIAN: No, no, no. Hold on, hold on. Stop. BROOKE: Yes! I'll marry you. I love you. (They kiss) BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian gives the ring at Brooke. BROOKE: We have literally been looking everywhere for this. JULIAN: Well, it's where it belongs now. BROOKE: Oh. JULIAN: Now, go get ready for our rehearsal dinner so I can be one step closer to having you as my wife. BIG HOUSE Alex and Quinn clean up the house. ALEX: All right, everything's back to normal. Kinda like nothing even happened last night. QUINN: Yeah, kinda. ALEX: That. Yeah, ow. Today was fun. I like you guys. Even though I have to invite myself to things. QUINN: That's not true. ALEX: I know Brooke only let me tag along because I got the suite. QUINN: That might be true. ALEX: But I don't care. I like being around real friends...Even if I'm not one of them. QUINN: Well, you are to me. So sit down, and let's fix your...Eye situation. ALEX: Oh, no. It really hurts. CHURCH Julian and Haley take along Brooke to see preparations. BROOKE: Let me see. JULIAN: Unh-unh. This is it. BROOKE: White roses. When did you do all of this? HALEY: Actually, Julian and I worked on it last night while you were doing whatever you were doing. JULIAN: Mm-hmm. BROOKE: Julian had it the whole time. HALEY: Ohh. BROOKE: This is how you spent your last night of freedom? JULIAN: You're only getting married once, Brooke. I wanted it to be perfect. BROOKE: It is. Unbelievably perfect. How did you know all of this, though? HALEY: Um, I may have forgotten to throw away your wedding book and just sent it to Sylvia instead. BROOKE: Sylvia helped? HALEY: Yes, and not only did she pay for the whole thing, but she's been working nonstop ever since I gave her that wedding book. BROOKE: Hang on. Brooke joins Sylvia. BROOKE: I can't believe you managed to do all of this without me knowing. SYLVIA: Well, you wouldn't have let me, otherwise. BROOKE: Probably not. You did all this for me? SYLVIA: I did this for the girl my son loves. BROOKE: I'm sorry about what I said. SYLVIA: No, you were right. I've been so busy trying to hold on to the past that I miss everything around me. Like you. What you said today at clothes over bros, that really got to me. I can see why Julian loves you so much. And I am sorry, too. BROOKE: It's okay. SYLVIA: You had better go find Haley. It's time for rehearsal. BROOKE: Sylvia? SYLVIA: Yeah? BROOKE: What happened with Melissa, your best friend? SYLVIA: Oh, we're still...Friends. Uh... She moved away, she started a family, and we just drifted apart. Like I said, you can't live in the past. Brooke goes to talk with Haley. BROOKE: Baby Sawyer's sick. HALEY: Peyton's not coming? I'm so sorry, Brooke. BROOKE: I understand. But I miss her. HALEY: Are you okay? BROOKE: Yeah. What you did in here... It's amazing, Haley. Nobody's ever done anything like this for me before. It's funny. Peyton used to say, people always leave. But when they did, I was always the one who was here for her. This year has been the hardest of my life, and you know who was always here for me, no matter what? My maid of honor. HALEY: Me? BROOKE: Say you'll do it. HALEY: I would be honored, Brooke. BROOKE: Thank you. End of the episode.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "08x12 - The Drinks We Drank Last Night"}	foreverdreaming
BROOKE'S FORMER HOUSE Brooke,little girl, sat on the flight of steps while her parents quarrel inside the house. She sees a married couple passing by car. VICTORIA: Until you get it through your thick skull that I'm not happy! FATHER: Happy? You think I'm happy? You think I like working all day and come home to the same broken record? VICTORIA: Oh, I'm a broken record? FATHER: Yes, you are! VICTORIA: Well, I wish I'd never married you! It was a mistake I did. FATHER: Can I go now? I've had enough of you for one night. VICTORIA: I've had enough of you for one life! NALEY'S HOUSE Julian wake up with Chester on the chest. JAMIE: Sorry, Julian. I told Chester that you and Brooke were getting married today. He's not taking it very well. JULIAN: Okay. Why would your rabbit have an emotional response to our wedding? JAMIE: Well, he's always had a thing for Brooke. JULIAN: How could you possibly know that? JAMIE: It's in the eyes. What's this? JULIAN: That, my very best man, is one half of a bumper-car token. JAMIE: Where's the other half? JULIAN: With a girl. JAMIE: Brooke? JULIAN: Nope. When I was around your age, I went to a county fair, and I met a girl, and we went on a bunch of rides together. JAMIE: Oh, cool. Which rides? JULIAN: Doesn't matter. Old county-fair rides. Totally irrelevant to the story. Okay. One of them was the Octopus. JAMIE: I love the Octopus. JULIAN: Anyway, the point is, it was the first crush I ever had. And not a "Chester likes Brooke" kind of crush, a real crush. You ever have that feeling? JAMIE: I think Madison's pretty cool. JULIAN: Mm-hmm. Right. Well, I thought this girl was pretty cool, too. And at the end of the night, we only had one token left. So we decided to break it in half. JAMIE: So, what happened to the girl? JULIAN: I don't know. I don't even remember her name. It wasn't really about the girl. It was about the idea of someone out there...for me. So I kept this half bumper-car token ever since as a reminder that somewhere out there, if I'm lucky, is my other half. RIVERCOURT Nathan makes some sh*t. NATHAN: Think you can stop me, punk? JAMIE: No. Why am I a punk? NATHAN: 'Cause you're standing between me and the basket. JAMIE: Oh, sorry. Do you want me to move? NATHAN: No. You're fine right there. JAMIE: Ooh. Nice. NATHAN: So, have you written your best-man speech yet? JAMIE: I'm supposed to write a speech? NATHAN: Yeah. At the reception, the best man and the maid of honor, they always give speeches. JAMIE: About what? NATHAN: You just talk about what Julian means to you and why he and Brooke are right for each other. You know, your mom probably didn't tell you this because she wants her speech to be better than yours. JAMIE: Of course she did. (Julian comes in) NATHAN: Ah, there he is. We were just talking about you. You nervous for the big day? JULIAN: Why would I be nervous? Is something important happening today? That was a joke. Told it twice today already. Got some big laughs the first two times. NATHAN: Two out of three is pretty solid. Nice work. JULIAN: Right. Well, I got a task for Jamie. I can't see Brooke the day of the wedding, so I need you to deliver that to her for me. NATHAN: Dude, are you using my son as a messenger boy? JULIAN: No, I'm using my best man as a messenger boy. All right. I'll see you guys later. NATHAN: Julian. You can't step onto the River Court and leave without taking a sht. JULIAN: Is that a rule? 'Cause I never... (Julian shts and marks a basket) JAMIE: Ooh! Oh. NATHAN: Nice. JAMIE: Guess this is my lucky day. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke breakfasts and Haley gets up. BROOKE: Good morning, maid of honor. Nice of you to join me on my wedding day. I was gonna check and see if you were still alive in there. HALEY: I don't know why I overslept. I'm sorry. I never oversleep, seriously. I don't...I don't even need an alarm clock. It was just... BROOKE: The mattress? HALEY: That mattress. I had no idea something that comfortable existed. It's like it was made out of hopes and dreams. BROOKE: Yeah, when Sam lived here, I used to have to drag her kicking and screaming out of there every morning. HALEY: I can see why. BROOKE: Now, don't get too excited, but this is for you. Your maid-of-honor gift. HALEY: Brooke, that's so sweet. My goodness. It's beautiful! Oh! BROOKE: I know it's incomplete right now, but you'll fill the other side soon enough. HALEY: It's beautiful. I love it. Thank you so much. Somebody knocks at the door. Brooke is going to open, it's Jamie. JAMIE: Hello, Brooke. I'm here on official best-man business. Julian has requested that I give this to you. BROOKE: Thanks, buddy. It's very professional. HALEY: Hey, there, little man. JAMIE: I know about the speech. HALEY: Oh. Your dad told you, huh? Huh. You ready? JAMIE: Maybe. Are you ready? HALEY: Maybe. So, what are you gonna say? JAMIE: Oh, you'll see. What are you gonna say? HALEY: Oh, you'll see. But, sweetie, you know this isn't a competition, right? JAMIE: Okay. Good. HALEY: Okay. JAMIE: Just remember that when they like my speech more. Brooke opens the envelope that Jamie gave to her. It is a CD inside. Brooke puts it in radio set. BROOKE: "The moment I fell in love with you." I apologize for what I'm about to do. HALEY: What are you about to do? (Brooke dances) HALEY: Okay. Why are you dancing like that, Brooke? BROOKE: Because this dance is what made an amazing man fall in love with me. HALEY: Yeah? That one? All right. Turn it up. I'd join you. I just don't want to go into labor on your wedding day. ONE TREE HILL – OPEN CREDITS MOUTH'S APARTMENT Skills gives the last directives before going to the church. SKILLS: Listen up. It all starts here. As ushers at today's wedding, we've been given a huge responsibility. And I'm not gonna lie. It might be dangerous. But that's why we were chosen. CHASE: I thought we were chosen because Julian has no guy friends. SKILLS: Pay attention, man. Today we're the first and only line of defense. MOUTH: Dude, come on. We're just supposed to seat the guests when they show up and then go get drunk. SKILLS: There will be no drinking during today's security detail. CHASE: Skills, we're ushers, not security. SKILLS: I've seen this lazy attitude before. Everybody starts having fun. People let their guard down, then bam! CHASE: Bam? MOUTH: Bam? SKILLS: Bam. Something bad always happens at Tree Hill weddings. But today we're gonna prevent it. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Somebody knocks at the door. Haley is going to open, it's Victoria. VICTORIA: Hello, Haley. Is Brooke here? HALEY: Hi, Victoria. Yes. Come on in. (Victoria enters) HALEY: So, I'm...I'm gonna go find out what that heavenly mattress is made of. BROOKE: What can I do for you? VICTORIA: It's your wedding day. BROOKE: Mom, that doesn't mean that you can just show up... VICTORIA: So I thought I'd just stop by and give you this. Go ahead. It's definitely old not that I expect or even allow you to wear it tonight. But I know it meant a lot to you. BROOKE: I can't believe you kept this. VICTORIA: I remember the night you found it. BROOKE: So do I. VICTORIA: You brought it to me and you said, "someday, mom, I'm gonna wear one of these." BROOKE: And do you remember what you said to me? You said, "don't ever get married, Brooke. It'll ruin your life." VICTORIA: Yeah. Well...I guess it's a good thing, then, you stopped taking my advice somewhere along the way. I'll see you at the church. CHURCH Quinn takes some photos where as Alex looks at photos of Quinn in her computer. QUINN: So, are you excited about the reception? There's gonna be a lot of single guys there. ALEX: I don't think I'm gonna go. Chase and Mia are going. QUINN: Together? ALEX: Well, Chase said they're going as friends, but who knows? Either way, it just creates a really awkward situation. And I'm so tired of embarrassing myself with them. QUINN: You know, it's not really about Chase and Mia. It's about your good friend who's getting married. And I know Julian really wants you there. So you should go for him. At least think about it. ALEX: I cannot believe you took these pictures. They're amazing. QUINN: Thanks. Can you keep a secret? ALEX: Honestly, I'm really terrible at keeping secrets. This one time, my friend Kimmy told me she hooked up with two people at the same party, and I promised I wouldn't say a word. But then I told like four people within an hour, and one of them was actually Kimmy, so... QUINN: Okay, this is a little more serious than a random double at a party. ALEX: Okay. You can talk to me. You have a secret girlfriend? QUINN: No. That's Katie, the crazy stalker who sht Clay and me. She came back because she found out I was watching her. ALEX: And Clay doesn't know about this? QUINN: No. And the worst part is that he thinks it's his fault that she came back. ALEX: Well, you could make a case for "what's done is done." I mean, you can't undo things now. But if you're feeling guilty, you should just tell him the truth. I have seen how that boy looks at you. And I promise you, it'll be okay. QUINN: Thanks. I've just been carrying it around with me, and, uh...You know, it's not fair to Clay. I think it's important that I tell him the truth. ALEX: Good. You know, besides, there is a very good chance that I might tell him later by mistake. QUINN: Give me this. You're terrible. NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan and Jamie go down stair, dressed in tux. NATHAN: Look at us. Scott men looking good in our tuxes. So, how's your speech? JAMIE: Oh, great. I'm almost done. NATHAN: Oh. JAMIE: Can I read you some of it? NATHAN: Yeah. Let's hear it. JAMIE: All right. Okay. "When I first made Julian's acquaintance, I was genuinely impressed with his demeanor." NATHAN: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up. What was that? JAMIE: That was my opening. Should I lead with a joke instead? NATHAN: No offense, buddy, but it sounded a bit stiffand grown-up. JAMIE: That's what I was going for. I don't want the speech to sound like it was written by a kid. NATHAN: It was written by a kid. Look, just think about how much Brooke and Julian really mean to you and then talk about that. JAMIE: All right. I'll start over. But seriously, should I lead with a joke? NATHAN: No. Stay away from the jokes. Your mom learned that lesson the hard way at Peyton and Lucas' wedding. Plus, I've seen your act at the talent show. You know, Lucas always started with a quote from one of his favorite authors. So maybe you can find one that helps you get your feelings across. JAMIE: Hmm. CHURCH Mouth, Chase and Skills await the first guests. CHASE: Milk? Really? I can't believe we're not allowed to drink. This sucks. MOUTH: Weddings are supposed to be fun. SKILLS: It's our job to make sure everyone else has fun. (Julian comes in) SKILLS: Hey, look. Here he is the groom. Hey, Julian Baker. You nervous? JULIAN: Nope, not nervous at all. Everything okay? SKILLS: You tell me, Julian Baker. Or is it, uh...Julian Norris? Bam. JULIAN: Bam? Well, yes, skills, I was born Julian Norris, and I changed my last name to Baker. SKILLS: Hmm. Running from the past? JULIAN: Did you do a background check on me? SKILLS: Google search, advanced settings. You know, a few years back, there was a wedding here in Tree Hill, and the bride really wasn't who she said she was. A lot of good people got hurt that day. JULIAN: What's your point? SKILLS: You look nervous. JULIAN: Okay, skills. Do you mind if I attend my own wedding now? Thank you. SKILLS: I don't trust him. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Haley prepares to Brooke for the ceremony. HALEY: Does that feel tight? BROOKE: Mm-hmm. HALEY: Okay. Okay. That's it. Wow. Brooke, you are officially the most beautiful bride ever. And you're not even in your dress yet. Oh. You are gonna look so...So beautiful in that dress. BROOKE: Haley, don't. 'Cause if you cry, then I'm gonna cry, and I don't want to have to redo my makeup. HALEY: Okay. All right. I'm sorry. You're right. I just... Okay. We have to get ready to go to the church anyway. BROOKE: We're going to the church. We're going to the church where I'm getting married. Haley, I'm getting married. HALEY: We are so gonna have to redo your makeup. BROOKE: I know. CHURCH Skills and Mouth check the guests at the entry. SKILLS: What you hiding under there, grandpa? MOUTH: His artificial hip. SKILLS: Hey! I'm watching you, oldie. MOUTH: This is getting ridiculous, Skills. SKILLS: He looked suspicious. MOUTH: He's like 85 years old. You are seriously losing it, man. (Millicent comes in) MOUTH: Wow. Millie. You look great. MILLICENT: Thanks. So do you. How's the ushering? MOUTH: You mean the security detail? SKILLS: Hey, Millie. You got your invitation? MILLICENT: No. Sorry. I left it at home. SKILLS: Nothing personal, but I'm gonna need you to run on home and get that. MILLICENT: Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna do that. MOUTH: That's okay. I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to vouch for my girlfriend. I mean, uh... She's with me. MILLICENT: Yes, she is. SKILLS: Move it right along. Got to keep this area clear. Hey. Quinn takes some pictures of Julian with his parents. QUINN: That was a good one. SYLVIA: Well, the lighting in here is dreadful. PAUL: It's not the lighting, Sylvia. It's the many years that have passed since you were born. SYLVIA: Oh, that's right. I forgot you were dating a fetus, Paul. How's that working out for you? PAUL: She never complains about bad lighting. SYLVIA: She's probably too busy complaining about her homework. QUINN: Okay. I just need a few more, and we'll be done very, very soon, okay? PAUL: I just realized, this is the groom's dressing room. I thought only guys were supposed to be back here. SYLVIA: I'm his mother. PAUL: Exactly. You shouldn't be here. Thank you for agreeing with me for once. JULIAN: Stop it. That's it. I have spent my entire life listening to you two argue about absolutely nothing. So can you please spend the next few hours at least pretending to like each other? You don't even really have to mean it. You just have to pretend, for me. Okay? SYLVIA: All right. QUINN: Okay. Alex arrives, she sees Chase with Mia. CHASE: Hi. ALEX: Hey. You guys look great. You always did make a cute couple. MIA: We're just friends. ALEX: Right. Are you supposed to show me to my seat? CHASE: Here's a program. Chase accompanies Alex to her seat. CHASE: So, which side do you want to sit on? ALEX: Depends. Which side are you and your date sitting on? CHASE: Over there. Just friends. ALEX: Then I'll sit over here. Thanks. Quinn takes pictures of Brooke and her mother. QUINN: These are so great. Now I just need a few photos of you and your dad and then one of you three together, and we'll be all set. BROOKE: My dad's not here yet. VICTORIA: There's a big surprise. BROOKE: Stop it. He'll be here. VICTORIA: Well, don't hold your breath, dear. BROOKE: He'll be here. QUINN: Yeah. Skills and Jamie await the groom. SKILLS: See, this is the calm before the storm. JAMIE: Mm-hmm. SYLVIA: Hi. SKILLS: Dang. Mama Baker lookin' hot today. JAMIE: She is? SKILLS: Mm-hmm. JAMIE: Hmm. Hey, why don't you have a date? SKILLS: Man, you're not supposed to have a date at a wedding. Me and you, we're rollin' solo tonight, dawg. JAMIE: Well, yeah, um, I have a date. SKILLS: With who? JAMIE: Madison. I guess you're gonna have to roll solo tonight. Good luck, dawg. SKILLS: Damn it. Haley comes to see Brooke in her dress. HALEY: Brooke? Ohh. BROOKE: Don't you dare ruin my makeup again. HALEY: I just came by to tell you I love you. BROOKE: That's not gonna keep me from crying. So, what do you think? HALEY: I think you are the perfect bride. BROOKE: Thank you. HALEY: I will see you out there. BROOKE: Haley, I love you, too. (Haley goes out and Victoria enters) VICTORIA: Brooke. BROOKE: He's not coming, is he? VICTORIA: No. BROOKE: So what are we gonna do? VICTORIA: We're gonna do what we always do. Haley walks in the aisle. JULIAN: Psst! I think Madison has a crush on you. JAMIE: Really? How can you tell? JULIAN: It's in the eyes. Hey, I want you to have this. JAMIE: But you've kept it all these years. JULIAN: I know. It means a lot to me. But it's yours now. I don't need it anymore. I found my other half. Brooke and Victoria begin to walk in the aisle. FLASHBACK, BROOKE AND JULIAN'S MOMENTS JULIAN: I mean, I kiss you, and then it gets... BROOKE: Definitely. It would be... JULIAN: It would be. JULIAN: I want you to have this. BROOKE: And what is this supposed to mean? JULIAN: It means we're going steady. JULIAN: I'm in love with you. I'm so lost and completely in love with you. I have been ever since I saw you doing that ridiculous Molly Ringwald dance. JULIAN: I love you, Brooke Davis. BROOKE: You told me that someday I'd be ready to let someone in. I think today might be someday. CHURCH JULIAN: Wow. JAMIE: Wow. Brooke looks like an angel. JULIAN: That's why I'm not nervous. Brooke joins Julian and the priest begins to speak. PRIEST: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Today, Julian and Brooke proclaim their love to the world with these words. Julian. JULIAN: Thank you. Brooke, before I met you, I thought my world had everything I needed to be happy. I had nothing else to compare it to. Then you walked into my life, and everything changed. I realized how empty my world was without you in it. And my old life was no longer capable of making me happy, not without you. I love everything about you, Brooke. I love the way you challenge me like no one ever has. I love the way you look at me like no one ever has. And I love the way you love me like no one ever has. I can't imagine spending my life without you. And if you say yes to me in a few minutes, I won't have to. You look beautiful, by the way. PRIEST: Brooke. BROOKE: Julian... Before I met you, my world revolved around one thing. Me. And I liked it that way, on my own. But then I met you, and you saw through the facade. You saw me. You've taught me to trust, how to let someone in, and what it truly means to fall in love. I can't possibly describe how much I love you, so I'll tell you why I love you. You see the world in a way that no one else does, and you appreciate everything...Including me. There's no one in the world like you. And if you say yes in a few minutes, I'll get to spend the rest of my life trying to see the world through your eyes, appreciating everything...Including you, the most unique, wonderful, and terribly handsome man I've ever met. PRIEST: Julian and Brooke, you came here today to exchange these vows. Julian, do you take Brooke to be thy wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live? JULIAN: I do. PRIEST: Brooke, do you take this man to be thy wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health so long as you both shall live? BROOKE: I do. PRIEST: The rings, please. JULIAN: Thanks, buddy. Brooke, this ring symbolizes my desire for you to be my wife from this day forward. BROOKE: Julian, this ring symbolizes my desire for you to be my husband from this day forward. PRIEST: If anyone can show just cause why this couple should not be joined together, speak now... SKILLS: Don't nobody say nothin'! CHASE: Bam. PRIEST: Well, in...in that case... BROOKE: Okay. PRIEST: By the power vested in me by the state of North Carolina, I now pronounce you husband and wife. JULIAN: Can I kiss my wife now? BROOKE: You better. (They kiss) RECEPTION Haley is impatient to see the bride and groom. HALEY: Why do the bride and groom always make you wait so long before they arrive? NATHAN: I'm sure they'll be here any minute. HALEY: I just want Brooke to love everything. She hasn't seen any of this yet. NATHAN: Don't worry. She's gonna love it. Look at this place. You and Sylvia should do this for a living. HALEY: So, have you, uh, heard Jamie's speech yet? NATHAN: I'm not getting involved, Hales. HALEY: In what? Look, it's not a spy mission. I just want to know if he's gonna play the cute-kid card to win over the room. What? He does that, you know. DJ: Ladies and gentleman, at this time, I'd like everyone to direct their attention to the dance floor as I introduce to you, for the first time anywhere as husband and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Julian Baker! (Julian and Brooke arrive) DJ: And now for their first dance. Julian and Brooke dance. BROOKE: We did it. JULIAN: Yes, we did. BROOKE: So, what now? JULIAN: I don't know. I'm kind of new to this whole marriage thing. I guess we'll just figure it out as we go. BROOKE: Sounds good to me. I love you. JULIAN: I love you, too. Mouth, Millie, Chase, Mia and Skills talk together. MOUTH: Shh! ''Don't nobody say nothin'!'' CHASE: Dude, what were you thinking? SKILLS: Hey, y'all can laugh all you want. But today was the best day of their lives. I mean, everything worked out. No psychos, no kidnappings. Nobody got left at the altar. Now it's time to drink and have slutty wedding sex. Where's Sylvia? (Skills researches Sylvia) CHASE: What Chase kind of drink is this? BARTENDER: It's my specialty, the Blue Magellan. Enjoy the buzz. CHASE: That's my line. Did you hear that? That guy stole my line and my drink. MILLICENT: Wow. That's not a Brain Blaster. MIA: No. It's delicious. Sorry, Chase. Quinn and Millie join Alex at a table. QUINN: Why are you sitting all by yourself? I have seen at least five cute, single guys here. ALEX: Two. I scanned the room, and they're not even that cute. MILLICENT: Cute enough to make Chase jealous. ALEX: You think so? QUINN: No, Millie. Look, you do not need to be making Chase jealous. MILLICENT: I don't know. He did come here with Mia. ALEX: As friends. MILLICENT: Mm-hmm. Maybe they'll have the slutty wedding sex. Did I just say that out loud? QUINN: Yeah. MILLICENT: Sorry. I'm a little drunk. But it's just at every wedding, someone has slutty wedding sex. It's inevitable. ALEX: Then why don't you go find Melvin and get it on? Because Chase isn't gonna nail Mia in some closet. MILLICENT: I hope I catch the bouquet. DJ announces the dance of married with their parents. DJ: If everyone could please once again direct their attention to the dance floor, it's time for the groom and his mother and the bride and her father to lead us in a dance. JULIAN: Um... BROOKE: It's okay. Go. (Paul approaches Brooke) PAUL: Shall we? Brooke dances with Paul. BROOKE: Thank you for doing this. PAUL: You're my daughter now. BROOKE: My dad promised me he'd be here tonight. PAUL: I'm sure he meant it when he said it. I know this won't make you feel better, but take it from a father who knows what it's like to let his child down. He already regrets not being here. Julian dances with Sylvia. JULIAN: Mom, I still can't thank you enough for everything you've done here tonight. SYLVIA: My only son got married today. JULIAN: And thank you for being so civil with dad. I know it's not that easy for you. SYLVIA: It's not so bad. I may want to rip his head off every time he opens his mouth. But the truth is, when I look at him, I am reminded that he is the guy who gave me the single greatest gift in my life. My Aston Martin. And you. Jamie revises his speech, Haley comes to see him. HALEY: So, is that it? JAMIE: Yep. HALEY: Almost that time. I'm ready. I guess the question is... Are you ready? JAMIE: What if no one likes my speech? HALEY: Sweetie, everybody's gonna love your speech. JAMIE: Well, I keep reading it. It's not very good. I don't want Julian to wish he had picked someone else to be his best man. HALEY: Julian chose you because he loves you and because of what you mean to him, not because of some speech that you have to give. Hey, I'm sure it's great, but if you don't like what you wrote, you can always just tell us a story about Julian, something that reminds you of him. DJ: All right, everyone, it's time for the best man to come on up here and say a few words. HALEY: Okay. Take a deep breath. Tell us a story. Jamie says his speech. JAMIE: J.K. Rowling once wrote, "the consequences of our actions are so complicated, so diverse that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed." J.K. Rowling was right. But what most of you don't know is Julian was able to do it. He knew a long time ago that he would find Brooke. When Julian was my age, which was a very, very, very, very long time ago, he went to a county fair, and he met a girl...not Brooke. But they went on a bunch of rides together, including the Octopus. Irrelevant to the story. But that night, Julian felt a crush for the first time, a real crush. Relax, Aunt Brooke. He was my age. So at the end of the night, they decided to break this bumper-car token in half. Julian has kept his half all these years, not because he missed the girl, but because he knew somewhere out there was the other half, his perfect match. And he was right. Today Julian married my Aunt Brooke. She's probably the coolest girl I know and the girl Julian's been waiting for since he broke this bumper-car token in half a long time ago at a county fair. And today, Julian gave me this token. He said he didn't need it anymore because he found his other half. Congratulations, Julian. I think it was worth the wait. JULIAN: Thanks, buddy. Haley tells her speech. HALEY: Well, when I first met Brooke Davis she had no idea who I was. Of course, everyone knew who she was. She was the most popular girl in school. She was head cheerleader, annoyingly pretty. Still is. And I used to wonder back then, "what it would be like to be friends with Brooke? Would she make me popular? Would all the boys start asking me out?" And then one night, I got to hang out with Brooke all night. And, oh, she didn't like my name, though, so she decided she was gonna give me a name that she did like, which ended up being Brooke. And from that moment, I knew that I wanted Brooke to be my friend, not because she was gonna make me popular and not because boys would start asking me out, but because I got a glimpse of the real Brooke, a girl with the biggest heart that I have ever known. And, you know, when you're in High School, it's not very easy to let people see who you really are. I could see it, though. It was in the eyes. So we became friends, and now she's my best friend. We've been through so much together over the years. And our friendship is still growing. So I know that your friendship and love for Julian will continue to grow every year for the rest of your lives. And I feel so lucky to be a part of that. I love you, Brooke Davis. DJ introduces the next part of the party. DJ: And now at this time, I need all the single ladies to come on up to the front. Brooke has something she wants to toss your way. CLAY: All right. Get in there. Make me proud. QUINN: Oh, no, it's my responsibility, you know, to capture the big moments at the wedding, like the bouquet toss. So I can't really participate. CLAY: Right. Give me the camera. Just point and click, right? QUINN: No. It's more complicated than that. I mean, you have to, like... CLAY: Go. I've used a camera before. QUINN: Just point and click. Thanks. DJ: Okay, Brooke. When you're ready. (It's Millicent who catches the bouquet) Clay shows the picture who takes to Quinn. CLAY: You're having fun. It's nice to see you like this. QUINN: I feel like we got our lives back. CLAY: Yeah. QUINN: Clay, I need to tell you something. CLAY: Okay. QUINN: It was my fault that Katie came back. CLAY: Don't say that. It's my fault. QUINN: No, it's not, okay? After I left South Africa, I didn't come home right away...Because I found Katie. And she knew that I found her, so she came back for me. It was my fault, Clay. CLAY: Why didn't you tell me? QUINN: I don't know. Maybe I was afraid of what you'd say. But...But I wanted you to know. It's not fair to you, and I'm sorry. I'm sorry. CLAY: You've gone through so much. And all of it started with me and Katie. But I could have lost you forever, Quinn. That's not something I can live with. QUINN: I promise I'll always be honest and open with you. CLAY: I'm sorry you had to go through all this. I love you. QUINN: I love you, too. Skills prepares the limousine but Chase and Mia make sex inside. Julian and Brooke leave the room and prepare to return on their premises. SKILLS: Hey, guys. I think you might want to take your truck. I already had it decorated just in case of an emergency, like if someone decided to steal the limo and drive it off a bridge. BROOKE: Okay. JULIAN: Okay. Thanks, skills. You did a good job here today. I hope you know that. SKILLS: Thank you. Quinn joins Alex, alone, in the table. QUINN: That couldn't have been easy. ALEX: It was unexpected but expected. Does that make sense? QUINN: Yeah. I'm sorry. ALEX: No. You were right. This night wasn't about them. It wasn't about me. It was about Brooke and Julian. And I'm really happy I was here for them. QUINN: You know, you don't have to try so hard with Chase or with any guy. Look at you. You're beautiful and you're fun, and any guy would be so lucky to be with you. ALEX: Thanks, Quinn. You know, I think I just realized something. Chase was into Mia, and then he was into me. And then he wasn't sure. And I think I just I wanted to win. QUINN: So maybe it wasn't about Chase. Maybe it was more about the chase. ALEX: Yeah. QUINN: Come here. No more crying. ALEX: Thanks, Quinn. Haley wakes up Jamie. HALEY: Psst. Hey, sleepy. You did great tonight. JAMIE: You think it was okay? HALEY: Okay? Man, I have heard a lot of best-man speeches in my life, and yours was by far the sweetest, the most honest, and the most memorable. I have never been so proud of you. And you know what? Your little sister would be proud, too. JAMIE: I'm gonna have a little sister? HALEY: Is that okay? JAMIE: Yeah. I hope she's just like you, mom. JULIAN'S TRUCK Brooke and Julian are so happy. BROOKE: We made it, didn't we? JULIAN: You okay, Mrs. Baker? BROOKE: I'm so happy, Mr. Davis. (Brooke passes in front of the house where it grew, as bride this time) End of the episode.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "08x13 - The Other Half of Me"}	foreverdreaming
PICTURES OF COMIC BOOK Brooke imagine that she is a superhero. BROOKE(Voice-over): There are people in this world who would rather destroy than create, rather take than give. These people must be stopped. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke is dreaming. She gives a blow of arm to Julian. BROOKE: Ugh! JULIAN: Ouch! Brooke, what the hell?! BROOKE: Was I sleep-fighting again? JULIAN: Yes. No more "Kick-Ass" for my wife before bed. BROOKE: You said "wife." I love hearing that. (Julian steps up) BROOKE: Mm. Where you going? JULIAN: Work. I'm directing a commercial today. Remember? BROOKE: No! So now the honeymoon's over, and we're just gonna turn into a boring, old married couple? JULIAN: Uh, you fight in your sleep, Brooke. Any couple you're a part of couldn't be boring. BROOKE: What am I supposed to do without you? JULIAN: I don't know. Go to the grocery store? Run errands? Cook? BROOKE: Things a boring, old husband would say for $500, please. JULIAN: Or you could watch "Kick-Ass" again. BROOKE: We have a winner. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Millie prepares breakfast for Mouth and Skills. SKILLS: Breakfast? What's the special occasion? MILLICENT: Marvin's first day back in television. MOUTH: Yep, I have come full circle and ended up back at the bottom. MILLICENT: There's nothing wrong with starting over. Julian wouldn't have hired you if he didn't think you were talented. I'm proud of you. Anyway, I should probably head home. I'll see you tonight? MOUTH: Bye. (Millie goes away) SKILLS: You do know it's kind of mean to make her do the walk of shame every day, right? When are you two moving back in together? MOUTH: We're taking it slow. SKILLS: Man, "slow"? If you go any slower, you're gonna be going backwards. What you gonna do, take her on a date and try to figure out what her favorite flavor of ice cream is? MOUTH: It's rocky road. And I don't think that you should be giving relationship advice. You wanted to propose to Nathan's mom on your third date. CLINN'S HOUSE Quinn looks at pictures she takes in the wedding. Clay joins her. CLAY: Damn. You're good. QUINN: I know. It's still nice to hear. CLAY: You want to know which picture is my favorite? QUINN: Hmm? You took that one. CLAY: Did I? Oh, that's right I did. I had forgotten 'cause it was just so easy. All I had to do was point and click. QUINN: Mm. That's 'cause I set my camera to "idiot mode." CLAY: Hey, there's no need to be nasty. You're probably a better photographer than I am. There's just no way to tell. QUINN: Oh, yes, there is. I've gotten three job offers since posting these. CLAY: Did you...did you post the one I took? Just because those offers may have been for me. QUINN: Hmm. Maybe they were.Let's go do something fun today Like bungee jumping. Let's go bungee jumping. CLAY: No way. You see, I have a strict policy against doing anything where people won't feel sorry for you if you die. For example, you'll never hear anyone say, "Oh, that poor guy. He just wanted to tie a rope around his ankles and jump off a bridge." QUINN: Okay, maybe not that, but something thrilling. CLAY: Hmm. I think I know what you need. QUINN: Uh! KELLERMAN'S CLASS Kellerman bullies a student. KELLERMAN: What's the answer, dummy? TOMMY: It's "Tommy." And you didn't ask me a question. KELLERMAN: Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son. How are you going to practice business law if you can't predict my questions ahead of time? TOMMY: I just don't understand. KELLERMAN: Maybe you'll understand this. NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan tells to Clay what it's happened in class. CLAY: Come on, man. That didn't happen. Plus, you're quoting lines from "Animal House." NATHAN: Okay, maybe I exaggerated a little. But the guy is a nightmare. He gets off on humiliating everyone. CLAY: Eh, so study. I mean, he can't make you look stupid if you know the material. And, besides, I mean, didn't you take this guy's class 'cause it was tough? NATHAN: I don't have a problem with him being tough. I have a problem with him being a bully. CLAY: Mm, it is his class. Look, you got one of two options either switch professors or deal with it. NATHAN: It's too late to switch. CLAY: Well, then "deal with it" wins. Otherwise, you can't be an Agent. RED BEDROOM RECORDS Alex wants to talks to Haley but Mia is here. MIA: Chase isn't here. Oh, and the cease-fre is off because you kissed him during our truce. ALEX: And you slept with him during the reception. But it doesn't matter. I'm not here for Chase. He suddenly seemed less attractive when I saw him in the limo with a 5-foot hairy mole attached to him. Anyway, I wanted to talk to Haley about recording a song here. MIA: Since when do you sing? ALEX: I'm serious. MIA: I know. That's why I'm laughing. ALEX: Well, like I said, I came to ask Haley, not you. Why talk to the greasy rag when you can talk to the mechanic? MIA: Haley thinks what I think. ALEX: We'll see. MIA: Okay, then. Bye. BROOKE(Voice-over): Evil lurks behind every door in Tree Hill. Stay tuned, loyal viewers... To be dazzled. ONE TREE HILL – OPEN CREDITS SET OF COMMERCIAL Julian explains to Mouth the topic. JULIAN: So, it's a recruitment commercial for Tree Hill College, and if things go well, it could lead to more work for both of us. MOUTH: Hey, thanks again for the job. It's nice to be needed for something other than cleaning toilets. MAN: Uh, we have a problem with Michael. JULIAN: Our actor. MOUTH: Let me guess, he flooded the bathroom? MAN: No, no. Uh...Well, yes. But he has a problem with his lines, too. JULIAN: What's the problem? MAN: He doesn't know them. MOUTH: I'm on it. I need a script and a plunger. CLUB TRIC The mother of Chuck drinks glass. Mia comes to the bar. CHUCK'S MOM: If I didn't hate men right now, you'd be in trouble. CHASE: Yep. Men suck. CHUCK'S MOM: Mm. MIA: Hey. So, I was just checking in. Are we cool? Because, you know, we haven't really talked since the...Um... Wedding. CHASE: Of course. We said the slutty wedding sex didn't have to mean anything. MIA: Well, you said that. Uh, I just agreed. So, nothing's wrong? CHASE: No. At least not with us. MIA: So what is wrong? CHASE: I started this job because Owen needed my help. It felt good knowing I was making a difference. Now all I do is help people get drunk. MIA: If you want to help people, there's always somebody who needs it, you know? You could always volunteer, like Haley did. CHASE: I could be a Big Brother. I've always liked playing with kids. MIA: Yeah, don't say that out loud. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke has fun with the toys of Julian. Haley comes in. BROOKE: Pshew! Who needs a clothing company when you can fly? Oh, my God. HALEY: Oh. Hey. BROOKE: Finally. I am so bored, Hales. Not working is klling me. Can I...can I come and join you at the crisis center? We could solve problems, like a...Problem-solving...Duo. HALEY: The truth is, I signed up to help people, but I spend most of the day playing "Angry Birds." BROOKE: Mm. I know what'll make you feel better. Haley and Brooke looks at ''Kiss-ass''. HALEY: The mouth on that little girl! BROOKE: I know, right? HALEY: See, why can't the crisis center be more like this? People call in, they ask for help, and we actually help them. But, no, we're told to just listen. BROOKE: You think anyone would ever tell ht girl to just listen? ALEX'S HOTEL ROOM Quinn arrives in the room badly equipped and not capped. QUINN: Hey. I just got your text. What's the emergency? ALEX: I didn't say it was an emergency. I said I wanted to talk. QUINN: Oh. An emergency sounded much more exciting. Anyway, what's up? What's the problem? ALEX: Have I told you that before I started acting, I really wanted to be a singer? QUINN: Yes, several times at Brooke's bachelorette party. ALEX: Okay. Then shut up. The studio is letting me record a song for the soundtrack of my next movie. QUINN: That's awesome! So, what's the emergency? ALEX: Again, no emergency. I need a favor. I want to record at Red Bedroom, but Mia won't let me through the door. QUINN: So you want me to help you break in late at night and secretly record. ALEX: No. I want you to ask Haley if she'll let me do it. QUINN: That's it? Just...Talk to my sister? ALEX: Sorry my problem isn't more exciting. If it makes you feel better, we can pretend Mia's an evil villain that we have to thwart. I just said "thwart." So, will you? QUINN: Yes, of course I will. But I doubt Mia will mind when she realizes how much it means to you. KELLERMAN'S CLASS Nathan is in class. KELLERMAN: You're wrong. What do you have to say for yourself? TOMMY: That I wish I was right? KELLERMAN: It seems the only question you know the answer to is, ''do you want dessert?" NATHAN: Wouldn't everyone know the answer to that question? It's usually "yes." KELLERMAN: Well, if everyone knows the answers, we don't need to prepare any more for tomorrow's test. Good day, everyone. TOMMY: Good looking out, dude. NATHAN: Hey, no big deal. TOMMY: Uh, yeah, it is. He's a scary dude. Anyways, uh, me and some of the guys get together twice a week for a study group. Uh, we're actually meeting up tonight, if you want in. NATHAN: Yeah, sounds great. Where is it? TOMMY: Funny you should ask. It's your night to host. So...Where is it? NATHAN: My place, I guess. CHUCK'S HOUSE Chase picks up chuck to go somewhere. CHASE: Are you Charles Daniel Scolnik? I'm Chase, your new Big Brother. CHUCK: Only losers call me "Charles." It's "Chuck." Hey, you're Jamie's friend, right? The bartender. CHASE: Bar manager, yeah. CHUCK: Ooooooh. So, what are we doing today? CHASE: How would you like to go up in a plane? CHUCK: Cool! Where to? CHASE: Just around Tree Hill, maybe Pickerington. CHUCK: Okay. Nice hat. Do they make them for guys? NALEY'S HOUSE Haley looks at his letter-box, Brooke arrives with bags of clothing. BROOKE: Hey. HALEY: Do I even want to ask? BROOKE: I'll give you a hint. ''da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na! Haley! Haley!'' Brooke and Haley try the costume of superhero. HALEY: No. BROOKE: No. What, you haven't even heard my idea. HALEY: Fine. What is it? BROOKE: We should be superheroes. HALEY: No. BROOKE: Come on! You love helping people. I love designing clothes. You put those things together, and voila. HALEY: "Voila" is not exactly the word I would use to describe this. BROOKE: Come on! You yourself said you wanted the crisis center to be more like "Kick-Ass." We can use it to find people who need help. It can be like our own personal batphone. HALEY: You are forgetting an important detail, which is the fact that superheroes have actual superpowers. BROOKE: Yes, but I am feisty, and you're pregnant. Nobody's gonna ht a pregnant lady! It's like your shield. HALEY: You want me to use my unborn baby as my shield?! Are you crazy? BROOKE: Oh, come on! I need a sidekick. HALEY: Sidekick? Girl, give me a break. If anything, we're gonna be a duo. BROOKE: So you're in. Aah! Let's be superheroes! (Quinn enters in the room) QUINN: Uh... BROOKE: Exactly how much did you hear? QUINN: Enough? I'll just come back later. Aah! BROOKE: I'm afraid I can't let you do that. QUINN: Okay. SET OF COMMERCIAL Millicent joins Mouth at his job. JULIAN: Okay, cut! MILLICENT: Hi. Um, I hope it's okay that I stopped by. I didn't know if they'd give you lunch. MOUTH: Oh, thanks. Skills ate my breakfast. MILLICENT: One of the downsides of having a roommate. Is he back for long? MOUTH: I never know. He actually asked if you and I were gonna move back in together. MILLICENT: What did you say? MOUTH: That we were taking it slow. Right? MILLICENT: Right. Anyway, um, I'm gonna let you get back to work. (Millicent goes away and Julian approaches to Mouth) JULIAN: She seemed upset. Did something happen? MOUTH: I think I just told her that I didn't want to live with her. JULIAN: That'll do it. NALEY'S HOUSE Quinn wants explications. QUINN: What's going on? BROOKE: It's quite simple, really. Haley and I are Tree Hill's newest superheroes. QUINN: I didn't know Tree Hill had any superheroes. BROOKE: Well, now that you know, you're either with us or against us. We would prefer "with." HALEY: She's kidding. Obviously... QUINN: I'm in! BROOKE: Excellent! Now all we need is Haley to go to the crisis center and find us a problem to solve. HALEY: I never said that I would do this. BROOKE: There's our first problem. You fix it. I'm needed elsewhere. AIRPORT Chase took along Chuck to the airport. CHASE: Do you want to know why I became a Big Brother? 'Cause you have no friends. Chuck! CHUCK: Why? It's this new thing I invented. You just got chucked. CHASE: What if we just high-five instead? CHUCK: High fives are lame. CHASE: You know, when I was a kid, I always wanted to become a pilot. CHUCK: I want to be someone who has their own pilot. My dad says if you're really important, people fly you. I guess you're not that important. Chuck! CHASE: Aah! Damn it. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley talks with her sister. HALEY: You can't be serious. QUINN: Me? You're the one that keeps checking yourself out in the mirror. You do look hot in that outfit, by the way. HALEY: Well, duh. Doesn't mean I'm gonna run around playing make-believe. QUINN: Come on. It could be so much fun. Besides, ever since my run-in with Katie, I've been feeling restless, and I need excitement. HALEY: Or some help. QUINN: Yeah. Maybe I could be our first mission. HALEY: No. There's not gonna be a first mission. Why are you here, anyway? QUINN: Oh. Um, right. I need a favor. Alex wants to record at the studio. She can even pay you for it. HALEY: Alex? I didn't... I didn't even know she sang. Yeah. W-why didn't she just ask me herself? QUINN: She tried. Mia chased her away. HALEY: Great. Yeah, please, tell her that's fine. I will talk to Mia. I'm having enough trouble keeping people in the studio without Mia sending them away. QUINN: Perfect. See? Doesn't it feel good to help someone? Almost...Super-good. Kind of makes you... Super Haley. HALEY: That's so dumb. Why would I include my real name in my superhero name? QUINN: Okay, see? That's why we need you. Your power is your brain. HALEY: Mm-hmm. Nathan invites some classmate to study. TOMMY: Okay, I'll start the discussion. Why is Kellerman such an asshat? Mr. Scott, as the newest member of the Kellerman sucks club, perhaps you'd like to field this one. NATHAN: I'd love to. CHUCK'S HOUSE Chase brings back Chuck at his place. CHASE: So, today was fun, yeah? CHUCK: Stop asking me that. Want to come in for dinner? It's meat night. CHASE: Uh, sorry. I have plans. CHUCK: Like a date? Do you have a girlfriend? CHASE: Mm...Things are kind of complicated right now. CHUCK: My dad says that's just a fancy way of saying you're a loser. Anyway, I hope tomorrow isn't as boring as today. CHASE: Okay. See you tomorrow. CHUCK: Chuck! CHASE: Hate that kid. CRISIS INTERVENTION Haley receives a call. HALEY(at phone): Crisis center. GIRL(at phone): I don't know why I'm calling, but I just needed to talk to someone. Three girls at my school won't stop bullying me, and I don't know how much more I can take. HALEY(at phone): I'm sorry. Have you told anyone? Um, your parents or maybe a teacher? GIRL(at phone): Doesn't do any good. They used to tease me for being a tomboy, which was bad enough. But then they found out that I was adopted, and now they call me little orphan trnny. It just they even made a Facebook page about me. HALEY(at phone): I'm so sorry. Maybe I can help. I can call the school for you, or I can come down and talk to these girls. GIRL(at phone): Don't. It'll just make things worse. I just needed to talk to someone. Thanks for listening. HALEY(at phone): Well... (The girl hangs up again) HALEY(at phone): ''Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Haley! Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Haley!'' CHUCK'S HOUSE Chase picks up Chuck again. CHUCK: What are you doing out here? Were you trying to peek in my window? CHASE: Um...No. We had plans today. Remember? CHUCK: My dad says guys can always flake on each other. CHASE: I wouldn't do something like that. Anyway, I should probably tell your mom where we're going. CHUCK: No, that's fine. Let's go. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke and Quinn play, Halley arrives. BROOKE: Pow! QUINN: Ooh! Whoa! HALEY: So, a girl called the crisis center last night. I think we can help her. BROOKE: Aah! Okay, we knew you'd come around eventually. From now on, call me "b. Dazzle." HALEY: Or that could stand for "Brooke Davis." BROOKE: Damn it. QUINN: Ooh, ooh! And...and I'm "shutterbug." I blind people with my flash and then collect their photos as trophies. BROOKE: And you are "baby mama." HALEY: Never mind. BROOKE: Oh, come on. We can help. Who's the girl? HALEY: She is a high-school student that some bullies have been calling "little orphan trnny." They even put a website up about her. BROOKE: To the research lab. SET OF COMMERCIAL Mouth arrives at his job. MOUTH: Hey, I'm not late, am I? JULIAN: No, our wonderful actor is. MOUTH: It can't be easy going from directing real actors to directing someone's stoned nephew for a local commercial. JULIAN: Yeah, but it's still directing, and I get to do what I love. And then I get to go home and do what...be with who I really love. Speaking of, how are things with Millie? MOUTH: I guess the same. She didn't stay over last night, so...I don't know. Maybe it's better that we're taking things slow. JULIAN: Have you seen our wedding photos yet? Does that look like a girl who wants to take things slow? (Man comes in) MAN: Michael quit. JULIAN: What? MAN: He said he was doing the job of a mannequin, and he didn't understand the scene, anyway. MOUTH: What's not to get? It's all about taking the next big step in life. I remember before I got back together with Millie, my life felt meaningless. I was just doing the same thing day after day, and I wasn't happy. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Girls made research. HALEY: This is awful! QUINN: "I bet you her real parents wanted a boy. That's why she dresses like one." HALEY: And look at this. "She should be an ad for birth control." BROOKE: Wait a minute. They're making fun of her because she's adopted? Peyton was adopted. And what if I adopt? These bitches would make fun of my kid. QUINN: Looks like they're planning on ambushing her after school. HALEY: Where? You sure? QUINN: Pretty sure. It says right here, "ambushing trnny after school," and two girls click "like." HALEY: Unreal. We should call the school, you guys. QUINN: Or...We could show up and let those little evil villains know what mean really is. BROOKE: Hmm. HALEY: The last evil villain that you fought sht you and put you in a coma. BROOKE: She's right. You survived a gn and a coma. You're indestructible. QUINN: Yes! HALEY: That's not...guys, I think I made a mistake bringing this to you. BROOKE: Oh, relax. They're not crips. They're kids. More specifically, they're stuck-up little bitches who need to be dealt with. QUINN: Hales, you used to be a teacher. Did you ever let bullies get away with this? BROOKE: She's right. You used to be a teacher. I used to be a stuck-up girl. They are no match for us. QUINN: I used to be stuck-up, too. RED BEDROOM RECORDS Alex comes to record. ALEX: I know we've had our differences, but I was hoping we could start over on a professional level, musician to musician. MIA: You're not a musician. You're an actress pretending to be one. My friend Peyton started this label for real artists, okay? ALEX: You haven't even heard me sing. MIA: No, but I've heard that whiny noise you call speaking, and that's enough for me. ALEX: Well...I think you're an amazing musician. MIA: Damn it. She knows how we love compliments. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley talks to Jamie. HALEY: Do you get picked on at school? JAMIE: Not really. Did someone say I did? HALEY: No. I just was talking with a girl who gets picked on, and she seemed kind of sad, so I wanted to know if anyone bullied you. JAMIE: Not anymore. Chuck used to, though. HALEY: Yeah, that's right. I had words with his mother. JAMIE: Oh, then dad showed up in a cape, remember? HALEY: Yeah, then Aunt Brooke made capes for all the rest of the kids at school. JAMIE: Dad was like a superhero that day. And me and Chuck have been friends ever since. HALEY: Hmm. Nathan discusses with Clay. NATHAN: What's wrong with being a hero? Bullies don't stop unless somebody stands up to them. I know. I used to be one. CLAY: No, I get it, but sometimes being a hero means sacrificing one cause for the good of another. NATHAN: I know. I just wish I could put him in his place for once. KELLERMAN'S CLASS Nathan is in class. KELLERMAN: In business, people make deals, but people cannot be trusted. Contracts, on the other hand, can be trusted. It's as simple as that. Put it on paper, and, in a sense, it is carved in stone. The written word is made truth. Seems Mr. Scott disagrees with me. Please tell us all what you were thinking so we may bask in the glorious light of your knowledge. NATHAN: I just know an agency that doesn't work like that. KELLERMAN: Oh, really? And what's the name of this magical agency that signs clients with hugs? (Clay, at the bottom of the class, intervenes) CLAY: The agency's name is Fortitude. Integrity. Now, that's the most important part of any business working with those who have it and keeping your own. Look, without it, contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on. KELLERMAN: And who are you, besides an uninvited nuisance? CLAY: My name's not important, but the name Troy Jameson is. You know, as a top-10 NFL pick, he signed with fortitude, a smaller agency, because he thought that the agents had his back. It was a personal relationship that sealed that deal. KELLERMAN: And I'm sure money had nothing to do with it. You must have won him over with your smile. CLAY: A-and a hug. KELLERMAN: You've all heard the phrase "it's just business." That's because business and personal relationships don't mix. They don't mix because people change. Viewpoints shift. Fortunes ebb and flow. Relationships and loyalties end. New ones begin. I can assure you, young man and by "young," I mean "inexperienced" that the only way to survive in business is to keep it as such -- just business. And, again, I've only taught this class for 20 years and written a book about it! CLAY: I-I'm sorry. I, uh, I haven't read your book. I've just been a little bit too busy actually working in the business world. You know, but I do know the difference between book theory and real-world practice. You see, Professor, you're teaching theory. I'm living practice. You know, I think the bottom line here is that within the walls of this class, your book might work, but as soon as you walk outside into the world, you know, what really works are honest relationships...That include hugs. BROOKE'S CAR Quinn takes in Brooke photograph which goes to the car. BROOKE: Okay. Okay. Cool it, shutterbug. Where's baby mama? QUINN: I don't think that she's coming. And, you know, to be honest, I'm kind of having second thoughts myself. I mean, Brooke, we're in Halloween costumes. BROOKE: First of all, Brooke Davis makes top-of-the-line superhero apparel. And secondly, I'm b. Dazzle. Isn't that right, French-speaking crime-fighting car? CD ON CAR: Oui, madame. QUINN: Okay, we're really gonna do this. BROOKE: Yes. If we don't, that poor girl will suffer and we'll have done nothing. We need to be brave for her. (Haley appears) HALEY: They used to call me "Whaley." "Whaley Haley." BROOKE: Not anymore, baby mama. Not anymore. HALEY: That is not my name! RED BEDROOM RECORDS Alex records her song. MAN(at Mia): You should listen to this. SET OF COMMERCIAL Mouth sht the local commercial. MOUTH: ''I was tired of spending my days lying on the couch and unhappy with who I was and what I was doing. That's why I decided to stop making excuses and start moving forward with my life. So, no, I don't want to get high off of that THC. I want to get high off of this THC, Tree Hill College. Enroll now.'' JULIAN: Perfect! That's a wrap! Great job. AIRPORT Chase talks with Chuck a little. CHASE: Don't the buildings look cool from up there? CHUCK: Don't know. I could only see the tops. CHASE: One of the, uh, first memories I have of my dad is when he took me up on a plane. You gonna tell your dad about this? CHUCK: Nah. He lives out of town, so we don't talk much. And when we do, he only likes to hear about the cool stuff. CHASE: How often do you see him? CHUCK: I was supposed to see him for a weekend last summer, but then his favorite kid rock cover band was playing that week. Can't pass stuff like that up. CHASE: What about your mom? You do anything fun with her? CHUCK: I guess. She works a lot, so I only see her at dinner. You should come over. CHASE: Can't. Besides, you should spend the time with your mom. I know I wish I could... CHUCK: Chuck! SCENE PARK The three girls bully the young girl. NIKKI: Little orphan trnny. Aren't you supposed to have a dog? RACHEL: No, she just has the face of one. BULLY GIRL: Why don't you just leave me alone? AUDREY: 'Cause you're so fun to mess with. Bet your bottom dollar, you're about to get your ass kicked. BROOKE: I wouldn't take that bet. (Brooke dreams) BROOKE: I wouldn't take that bet. QUINN: We're shutterbug, b. Dazzle, and baby mama, and we're here to make sure you leave this girl alone. HALEY: That's not my name. BROOKE: Enough talk. It's time for action. Prepare to be dazzled. Oh. Homemade liquid smoke. That was supposed to... Spread further. NIKKI: Wow, trnny. You found three bigger losers than you. BROOKE: Excuse me? What is it about you that you think makes you so cool, you can tease other people? Is it your man face? Or your chicken legs? Or maybe your enormous feet? QUINN: Hey! BROOKE: Sorry. Don't even get me started on your ratty hair, your bad lip gloss, and your fake Louis Vuitton. NIKKI: Wait till tomorrow, when these old crazy ladies aren't here. We're gonna... HALEY: What are you gonna do... Nikki? NIKKI: How do you know my name? BROOKE: It's one of her superpowers. It all started when a giant asteroid ht... HALEY: Nikki, you...you were picked on all freshman year of High School for being the new girl. Guess you found somebody else to tease so they'd leave you alone. Smart girl like you, applying to Princeton...tsk-tsk...really should know better. Maybe I'll call the Dean. NIKKI: Like the Dean of Princeton would listen to some wack job in a cape. HALEY: Well, since you, Rachel, and Audrey all need clean records to get those scholarships, I wouldn't want some crazy wack job saying anything if I were... You. QUINN: Besides, we're all a little crazy. BROOKE: Mm-hmm. QUINN: And you never know when we're just gonna pop up. You open up that locker crazy girl inside. You go to sleep at night, guess who's underneath that bed.Crazy girl! You get in the back seat of that car, guess who's there! Crazy girl! BROOKE: They got it. QUINN: I'm shutterbug. BROOKE: Yes, you are. NIKKI: Fine. We're leaving. BROOKE: Good. But in case you want to fight again, we'll be ready for you! QUINN: And you all take down that website, or I'll post your photos, and they're all from bad angles. BROOKE: Bad. RACHEL: It's not like we can b*at them up. I think one of them is pregnant. BROOKE: Shield. QUINN: How did you know their names? HALEY: Well... I was a teacher, and I still have some friends at the school. BROKOE: You're like a mastermind. HALEY: I am a mastermind. That's more like it. (Girls returns to the bully girl) HALEY: Hey. BULLY GIRL: Mrs. Scott? What are you doing here? HALEY: I am here to tell you that things will get better and that High School is full of insecure kids who are just gonna make fun of you for no reason. They used to make fun of me for being smart and dressing weird. This, I get it. Listen, the thing is, no matter how different you are, you'll always find someone who accepts you. BROOKE: It's true. HALEY: Are you gonna be okay? BULLY GIRL: I think so. Can I ask you guys for a favor? QUINN: Sure. CLAY'S CAR Nathan and Clay speak together. NATHAN: So, i can't be the hero, but you can, huh? CLAY: Wow. You are learning. You know, you're not nearly as dumb as Kellerman thinks you are. And besides, he can make fun of you all he wants, but leave Fortitude alone. NATHAN: Well, I have a feeling there's gonna be some backlash, but it was worth it. Thanks. CLAY: No problem. You know, the world needs all the heroes it can get. (The girls pass in front of the car) NATHAN: You got to be kidding me. CLAY: Is that liquid smoke? CHUCK'S HOUSE Chase brings Chuck at home. CHUCK: Thanks for hanging out with me. CHASE: Yeah. Oh! Oh. Uh...Yeah. I had fun. CHUCK'S MOM: Hey, I know you. You're my bartender. CHUCK: Bar manager. And he's also a pilot. CHASE: Yeah. I'm your pilot. Guess that makes you pretty important, doesn't it? Hey, uh, can I still join you for dinner? CHUCK: Definitely. CHASE: Chase! Yeah. You just got big-brothered. RED BEDROOM RECORDS Mia talks to Alex. MIA: So, you still want to hear what I think? ALEX: I don't know. Is it still "you suck"? MIA: As a person, yes. But... As a musician, you are surprisingly good. ALEX: That really means a lot coming from you. MIA: You know, Peyton and Haley gave me the chance to sing. But lately, I haven't been singing. I've been... Fighting with you and trying to get Chase to like me. ALEX: I'm sorry. MIA: It's not your fault. I've let myself become the unhappy girl that I used to be. But watching you in here... Reminded me of how I feel every time I sing. And I love it, and I need to get back to it. ALEX: So, does that mean you're taking my studio time? MIA: No. I think I'm gonna tour for a little while. But keep singing, Alex. ALEX: You think I'm great. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Millicent and Mouth diner. MILLICENT: To you being back on the air. MOUTH: I have to admit, it felt really good. Not for the reason I thought it would. The whole time I was doing it, I wasn't thinking, "I'm back in front of the camera." I was thinking, "I can't wait to tell Millie." I was scared of messing things up if we lived together again. But I got even more scared when you didn't stay over last night. MILLICENT: What happened to your night light? MOUTH: Look, you've been over every night. We already live together. Living without you is what made me scared. So I'm done taking things slow. I want you to move in tomorrow or even tonight, if you can. Or is that too fast? (Skills laid down on the catch very heard) SKILLS: Whew. MILLICENT: Mmm-mmm. GIRL'S HOUSE The girl looks at the picture where she is with Brooke, Haley and Quinn. NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan reads a book in bed, Haley comes in. HALEY: So, did you tell Jamie? NATHAN: Did I tell our son his mom and her friends were running around town pretending to be superheroes? Of course I did. HALEY: Oh. I've been feeling so helpless lately at the crisis center. I wanted to stop some bullies. And this whole superhero thing was Brooke's idea. NATHAN: Well, while you were out fighting crime, Erin called. She's visiting her family in Ireland. She wanted to thank you for everything. HALEY: She's talking to her family again. That's so great. NATHAN: See? You were already a hero. You didn't even need the costume. HALEY: I'm thinking about keeping it anyway, though. You know, it's kind of sexy. NATHAN: Oh, geez! Super Haley...You got to be careful in your condition. HALEY: Shh! You must never use my real name. I'm mastermind. CLINN'S HOUSE Clay makes puzzle and he wants to help to Quinn. CLAY: Hey, babe! I'm having trouble with this puzzle. Could you be my hero and help me? It's super Quinn. QUINN: It's "shutterbug" now. CLAY: You ladies have fun? QUINN: Yeah. But it wasn't about that. It was about righting wrongs, correcting injustices, and being total badasses. CLAY: Hmm. And here I thought that super Quinn or shutterbug only came out on Halloween and when you're feeling frisky. QUINN: Or when I'm bored. And since a certain someone wouldn't go bungee jumping with me, I had to find something to entertain myself with. CLAY: I-I get it. It's nice to feel like a hero every now and again. You know, I actually, um did something pretty heroic myself today, although I didn't look anywhere near as sexy as you. QUINN: I beg to differ. CLAY: Are you looking for a little shutterbug/super Clay action? QUINN: I was thinking more along the lines of shutterbug vs. The burglar. CLAY: Oh. Yeah, I'm not so su... QUINN: You've messed with the wrong girl, burglar. Say "cheese." BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian returns to the house, Brooke is already out of dressing gown. BROOKE: Hey, hubby Baker. How was your day? JULIAN: Great. The college is happy, mouth is happy, and I'm happy. BROOKE: Good. Then I'm happy. JULIAN: How about you? Did you do anything fun today? BROOKE: No. You know me. Just your average, ordinary, mild-mannered citizen. Hmm. BROOKE(Voice-over): Tune in next week, loyal viewers same "O.T.H." Time, same "O.T.H." Channel.

PREVIOUSLY ON ONE TREE HILL CHASE: I'm Chase, your new Big Brother. CHUCK: Chuck! CHUCK: Thanks for hanging out with me. CHUCK’S MOM: Hey, I know you. You're my bartender. CHUCK: Bar manager. KELLERMAN: People cannot be trusted. Contracts, on the other hand, can be trusted. Seems Mr. Scott disagrees with me. NATHAN: But the guy is a nightmare. He gets off on humiliating everyone. CLAY: Didn't you take this guy's class 'cause it was tough? NATHAN: I don't have a problem with him being tough. I have a problem with him being a bully. MOUTH: I want you to move in tomorrow or even tonight, if you can. Or is that too fast? BROOKE: They didn't just tell me that...That I wasn't pregnant. They said I'm never gonna be. JULIAN: You can't have children? They told you that? NALEY’S HOUSE Jamie makes a heart with heart-shaped candies. Haley takes it to him. JAMIE: Mom. Really? HALEY: What? Mama's hungry. Okay, let's see. Hmm. Happy Valentine's day. BRULIAN’S HOUSE Brooke notices that the hot water does not go out of the faucet of the kitchen. Julian comes to see. BROOKE: Julian, the hot water won't work! JULIAN: All right, I got it. BROOKE: Damn. My husband is sexy. Unlike you, the hot water isn't hot enough. JULIAN: Again? BROOKE: Yes. It keeps going out. I think maybe you should call the plumber. JULIAN: Okay, I'll call the plumber, but I don't like that guy. He's always checking you out. BROOKE: He is not. He's nice. You're just jealous because he's kind of handsome. JULIAN: Really? You think the plumber's handsome? BROOKE: He's okay. He might have a sht with me if I had a reason to stray. But clearly, I don't. JULIAN: Okay. I'll call the handsome plumber guy, but just remember you're my girl, Brooke Davis, and you always will be. CLINN’S HOUSE Clay takes a shower. Quinn joins him. QUINN: Morning, baby. CLAY: What is my baby up to? QUINN: It's Valentine's Day. I'm kind of in love with you. CLAY: Damn. I love hearing you say that. QUINN: What? CLAY: You are so naked right now. QUINN: Babe, stop. CLAY: I'm serious. It's awesome. I can totally see your butt. QUINN: Well, you can touch me if you want. CLAY: Valentine's Day is hot. NALEY’S HOUSE Haley and Nathan has a wash in the morning. HALEY: Hey. NATHAN: Hey. HALEY: Did you remember to, uh, sign that form for Jamie's field trip today? NATHAN: Yeah, I left it next to the humidifier. Hey, do I have something on my back? It itches like crazy. HALEY: Oh, it looks like a rash. Ooh, there's a blackhead. Can I get it? NATHAN: No, no, it's okay. I'm gonna see Clay in like 20 minutes. HALEY: Fine. NATHAN: So, do you want me to pick up anything for Valentine's day dinner? HALEY: You're so sweet to remember. NATHAN: Eh, sort of. I didn't really get you anything. Sorry. HALEY: That's okay. Jamie and Madison have a playdate after school. I just kind of figured we could rent a video or something. NATHAN: Ah. Perfect. Happy Valentine's Day. HALEY: You too. Love you. BRULIAN’S HOUSE Julian repairs the faucet. Brooke comes to see him in underwear. BROOKE: So, I was thinking maybe you could take a little break. My husband's away, and I could use a little help in the bedroom. JULIAN: I don't know, Miss Baker. BROOKE: Mrs. Baker. I do like a man who's good with his hands. Do you feel good about that tool you've got there...Thor? JULIAN: I do. BROOKE: Well, then, I might just take this to the bedroom so that you'll have just the right tool and I'll have just the right...Box? Something like that. What do you say, handyman? Are you feeling handy, man? JULIAN: Yes, I am. I love you, Mrs. Baker. Am I allowed to say that? BROOKE: Yes, baby, you are. Mmm! ONE TREE HILL – OPEN CREDITS NALEY’S HOUSE Jamie takes an apple in the refrigerator and sees his mother looking for her Valentine’s Day present in cupboards. JAMIE: There's no food in there, mom. HALEY: Watch it. JAMIE: What you looking for, anyway? HALEY: I am looking for my Valentine's Day present from your father. I know he got me something. JAMIE: How come? HALEY: Because he pretended like he didn't. Oh, the garage. CLUB TRIC Chuck arrives in the Tric. CHASE: There he is Chuck Skolnick. CHUCK: Hey. CHASE: Have a seat, buddy. What'll you have? CHUCK: My dad says real men drink whiskey. CHASE: How about a root beer? CHUCK: Lame, but whatever. How come you had a cab pick me up? CHASE: Uh, because your mom was busy, and I couldn't leave the bar 'cause I'm… CHUCK: You're the bar manager. I know. CHASE: Dude, drink your root beer. Shut your pinhole. CHUCK: Ooh, do you have pie? CHASE: No, we have... MOUTH’S APARTMENT Millicent takes breakfast. MILLICENT: Half a muffin? MOUTH: Happy Valentine's Day? MILLICENT: Okay. MOUTH: You know how I used to bring you a muffin every day? Well, I wanted to do that today, but we only had enough for one, and I was kind of hungry. MILLICENT: Okay, well, it's the thought that counts. MOUTH: So, I have some good news you know that guy who does those wacky segments on the morning news? MILLICENT: The old guy with the bad toupee who kind of wheezes a lot? MOUTH: Yep. He was doing a traffic spot dressed as a chicken who crosses the road. He couldn't see out of the chicken head, and he got creamed by a city work truck. MILLICENT: Oh, my God. MOUTH: There were feathers everywhere. MILLICENT: How is that good news? MOUTH: Well, 'cause now there's a job opening at the local station as a field reporter. MILLICENT: Oh! That is good news. You'd be perfect for that. MOUTH: Well, how'd you like to help me make a demo to send them? MILLICENT: Okay. Can I wear a chicken suit? MOUTH: Uh, no. MILLICENT: Okay. MOUTH: So, so, are you gonna eat, or…okay. BRULIAN’S HOUSE Julian reads the newspaper, Brooke is been supposed to be for a domestic lady. JULIAN: Wow. It says here the guy from the news was ht by a city work truck. Apparently he was wearing a chicken suit. Did you hear that, Marguerite? BROOKE: “Oui, monsieur.” JULIAN: You know, Marguerite, you're such a beautiful woman. I assume men tell you that all the time. BROOKE: “Oui”. JULIAN: Do you like it when I tell you how beautiful you are? BROOKE: “Oui”. JULIAN: How old are you, Marguerite? BROOKE: I don't know how to say that in French. Ah! JULIAN: I'm sorry. What can you say? BROOKE: I can say, "Oui." JULIAN: Lucky for me. BROOKE: “Oui”. NALEY’S HOUSE Quinn comes in the house. HALEY: Hey. QUINN: Are you looking for Nathan's present? HALEY: Yes. I'm not having any luck so far. What are you guys doing tonight? QUINN: I don't know. Clay and I really didn't talk that much this morning. HALEY: Oh, yeah, Nathan said he was meeting up with him. He just showered, and he was out of here. QUINN: Clay's shower was longer, but...Anyway, what are you guys doing tonight? HALEY: Um, I don't know. Probably not too much. We'll just rent a movie or something. I'm not feeling particularly amorous with the whole swollen everything and my mood swings and my ho ho addiction. QUINN: Stop it. You look beautiful. HALEY: Thank you. I don't know. I guess I just feel like Valentine's Day is more for couples like you and Clay. And don't think I missed the crack about the shower, by the way. I'm sure he has something really nice planned for you. Shower. CLINN’S HOUSE Clay and Quinn put again sheet for the bed. CLAY: I thought we'd just go to Tric. QUINN: Ooh, after a romantic dinner somewhere fancy? CLAY: Here's something you don't know about me not such a fan of the Valentine's Day. QUINN: But you said it was hot. CLAY: Oh, yeah, but that was after you let me touch your butt. But I think it's a completely bogus holiday. QUINN: Well, I think it's romantic. CLAY: Amateur romantic. It's a bunch of dudes with no game scrambling for flowers and jewelry. QUINN: I like flowers and jewelry. CLAY: All women like flowers and jewelry. And that's why they invented Valentine's Day so they could leverage every boyfriend, fiancé, and husband in America. QUINN: Really? Leverage? CLAY: Leverage. Yeah, Valentine's Day should be ashamed to even call itself a holiday. You know, if I'm Christmas or Easter or the Fourth of July, there's no way I'm letting Valentine's Day sit at the lunch table. It's like, "go on, February 14th. Go sit on the steps near shop class with Cinco de Mayo." QUINN: What's wrong with Cinco de Mayo? CLAY: Okay, I like Cinco de Mayo. Kind of reaching there. Hey, while I'm at it, uh know, I couldn't get us those tickets to city and Colour next week. I know you want to go, and I'm still trying, but they're totally sold out. So, aren't you glad you survived a gn so your boyfriend could disappoint you a bunch? QUINN: You don't disappoint me...Ever. (They kiss) QUINN: Mmm. That's fine. We can go to Tric later. But I'm gonna spend the rest of the day with my other boyfriend. CLAY: Huh? Ugh! SHOP Quinn and Jamie go shopping to buy a present. JAMIE: If you were a girl, what would you want to get? QUINN: Concert tickets. Or a diamond necklace. Rare jewels are good. JAMIE: There's a girl in my class named jewel. She's lactose intolerant. Oh, cool -- heart shoelaces. Madison would love these. QUINN: Those are nice, but what about getting her, like, flowers or chocolate? JAMIE: No, I'm sticking with shoelaces. The hearts say, "I like you," but the shoelace part isn't too mushy. Let's check out the cards. QUINN: Okay. JAMIE: "To my beloved soul mate"? Ugh. What's yours say? QUINN: "Your love consumes me." JAMIE: Gross. Where's the card that says, "I'd pick you first for dodge ball," or, "I'd trade you my PB&J for your crappy bologna sandwich if you want"? QUINN: You make a good point. And I would love to get you that card, buddy, but I don't think we're gonna find that one here. What do you say we go home and go make one? JAMIE: If you were a girl, would that be okay? QUINN: Yeah, it'd be awesome. And technically, I am a girl. JAMIE: If that's your story. I'm gonna go pay for these. BASEBALL FIELD Nathan and Clay come to see a new costumer. NATHAN: So, you want to tell me where we're going? CLAY: Let me answer that with a question. What if I told you that there was a college prospect right here in Tree Hill who threw 98 miles an hour accurately, was on the radar of every major league team, and didn't have an Agent? Would you sign him? NATHAN: No, because if he's really that good, then there must be a reason he doesn't have an Agent. CLAY: Okay. Let me try this. What if I told you his name was Kellerman? NATHAN: As in Professor Kellerman? CLAY: Yeah. As in Professor Kellerman's son. MOUTH’S APARTMENT Mouth makes his demo. MOUTH: I'm Marvin McFadden, and today we're speaking with Millicent Huxtable, the former face of Clothes Over Bros. Millicent, you've had quite a journey. You started out as an assistant at Clothes Over Bros, rose to the very top of the company, and even became the face of the brand before its recent collapse. Now you find yourself on the outside looking in. What are you doing these days? MILLICENT: Well, these days, I'm unemployed, and I spend my time being fake-interviewed by my supposed boyfriend, who just kind of hurt my feelings. MOUTH: Let's do that again. BRULIAN’S HOUSE Julian, disguised as business’ man, returns at home. Brooke is been supposed to be for a teenager baby-sitter. JULIAN: I'm home. BROOKE: Hi. JULIAN: Any problems with the kids? BROOKE: Nope, no problems at all, Mr. Baker. How was your day? JULIAN: Good. A little lonely. BROOKE: Huh. JULIAN: Here's a crazy idea. I know it's a school night and everything, but...How'd you like to stay and have a glass of wine before you go? BROOKE: Okay. JULIAN: It'll be our little secret. I won't even tell your parents. BROOKE: Okay, this one's too creepy. JULIAN: Ah. You're right. I'm sorry. BROOKE: Ooh, unless... They invert them roles. BROOKE: I'm home. JULIAN: Hi. BROOKE: Hi. CLUB TRIC Chuck helps Chase. CHUCK: So, who are the flowers for? Your Valentine's date? CHASE: Don't have a date. CHUCK: Figures. Bet you my dad's got a date tonight. He probably has four or five. CHASE: You miss your dad, Chuck? CHUCK: Yeah, but he says he's gonna send for me... When he gets settled. CHASE: How long has he been gone? CHUCK: Not too long. Only two years. NALEY’S HOUSE Haley finds her Valentine's Day present behind one limp in the pantry. HALEY: Ah! BASEBALL FIELD Clay and Nathan want to talks with the player. IAN: I'm good, man. CLAY: Ian Kellerman. Clay Evans. This is Na… IAN: Nathan Scott. Heard you were in my dad's class. NATHAN: Yeah, your dad's, uh -- he's an interesting guy. IAN: He's a douche bag. (Ian takes a beer) NATHAN: It's a little early, isn't it? IAN: Are you guys here to sign me or lecture me? CLAY: Well, depends on what you're looking for in an Agent. IAN: Whoever gets me the most money up front. Highest signing bonus wins. CLAY: You know, a lot of times, you can get a more lucrative deal if you give a little on the bonus. IAN: Right. Well, here's the thing, guys. I'm one curve ball away from blwing out my arm and being washed up like you two. So I'd prefer to get paid up front. NATHAN: We understand that. But if I could've known what was gonna happen to my back, I would have liked to have had the security of a long-term deal. IAN: Let me try explaining this to you another way. Do you know what a guy like me looks like on sorority row with a high-dollar signing bonus and a face like this? He looks good. Now, you know what a guy like me looks like five years from now with your long-term deal? He looks like you two…old. So I'll take mine now the money, the women...All of it. Beer's on me. CLAY: He called us old. NATHAN: I like him. MOUTH’S APARTMENT Mouth takes his demo with Millie again. MOUTH: Sources tell us the tiger escaped through a malfunctioning gate and entered a crowd of zoo patrons. What did you see? MILLICENT: Well, I saw the tiger escape through a malfunctioning gate and enter a crowd of zoo patrons. MOUTH: Valentine's Day is upon us a day for romance and celebration for couples nationwide. How will you be spending Valentine's Day? MILLICENT: I'll be spending my Valentine's Day making this tape and hoping the station hires the best candidate for the job. MOUTH: Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm Marvin McFadden, and we'll be back after this. NALEY’S HOUSE Quinn and Jamie go back to the shopping. JAMIE: Hi, mom. Bye, mom. HALEY: Hey. QUINN: Oh, my God, what is that? HALEY: It's mine. I just found it in the pantry. QUINN: Damn you. I wanted one of those. Ohh. All I'm getting is concert tickets. HALEY: I thought Clay said the concert was sold out. QUINN: I thought that Nathan said he didn't get you anything. HALEY: You make a good point. You know what? I bet they're not even meeting with a player. They're probably both out planning something really special for us tonight. BASEBALL FIELD Nathan and Clay drink beers. CLAY: You doing anything special tonight? NATHAN: No, I don't think so. You? CLAY: Not really. We shouldn't sign Kellerman. No, we walk away from talent if the athlete's a jackass. This guy's a jackass. NATHAN: I don't disagree, but do you know any other young athletes who were a mess and then eventually found their way? CLAY: You mean you? NATHAN: I do. The kid's got a difficult father, and he feels like the world owes him something. I've been there. Just let me talk to him again before we move on. CLAY: You want to help Ian Kellerman or just screw with his father? NATHAN: I don't know. Maybe both. CLUB TRIC Chuck and Chase drink a beer too. CHUCK: Ahh. Yep, another Valentine's Day alone. CHASE: It sucks. CHUCK: Well, more for you. 736 I'm only 8. What? CHASE: There's nothing wrong with being a little nicer. CHUCK: I'm pretty nice. CHASE: Yeah, nothing says nice like a punch in the gut and some kid yelling, "Chuck!" CHUCK: I'm making this Valentine for my mom. CHASE: That's a start. All I'm saying is, people are gonna like you for who you are. Like, what are your hobbies? What do you like to do? CHUCK: Well, there is this one thing that I like that I never told anyone. CHASE: Yeah? CHUCK: Uh-huh. Show tunes. CHASE: Didn't see that one coming. Okay. So, you listen to show tunes. CHUCK: Not just listen to them. I write my own. CHASE: Right. Um, you know that "punch in the stomach" thing is kind of cool, actually. CHUCK: You want to hear one? CHASE: I... (Chuck starts to sing) NALEY’S HOUSE Jamie finished the card for Madison. CLINN’S HOUSE Quinn applies her lotion for her date. BRULIAN’S HOUSE Brooke and Julian are lying on the sofa. JULIAN: Geez, Mrs. Baker, you sure are swell. BROOKE: Mm. CLUB TRIC Chuck finishes his song. CHUCK: Whoo! NALEY’S HOUSE Haley puts the revealed gifts back in their place. CLUB TRIC Chuck makes a card for his mother. CHASE: How's the Valentine going? CHUCK: Honestly? I think it's my best work. You think my mom will like it? CHASE: Dude, I think she'll love it. CHUCK: I hope so. So, I was thinking about what you said about being myself, and I decided I'm gonna sing my song at school on Monday. CHASE: Oh, yeah? Well, you know, I might have been wrong about that. CHUCK: You didn't like it, huh? CHASE: No, it's not that. It's just sometimes it's cool to have stuff you like that nobody knows about, especially, like, classmates and friends. Which tie do you like? CHUCK: I don't know. That one, I guess. CHASE: Good call. All right, I got to run to the back again. You gonna be okay out here? CHUCK: Sure, but you've been running to the back all day. CHASE: Dude, I got a lot to do around here. I'm the bar… CHUCK: You're the bar manager. I know already. Geez. CHASE: I'll be right back. Stay put. The Valentine is strong, by the way. CHUCK: Thank you. CHASE: Hey, and no more root beer. You're gonna wet the bed. CHUCK: Dude, I'm 8 years old. CHASE: I heard about the camping trip. CHUCK: That was one time! Man! Chase is going to wake Chuck’s mom who sleeps on changing rooms. CHASE: Mrs. Skolnick? Come on, Mrs. Skolnick. Wake up. CHUCK’S MOM: Where am I? CHASE: You're at Tric. You had a little too much to drink again. Chuck is with me at the bar. He doesn't know you're here, and he's not going to. CHUCK’S MOM: Did he eat? CHASE: A while ago. He's hoping to have dinner with his mom at home. CHUCK’S MOM: You got a light? CHASE: There's a cab outside. It's gonna take you home. I'll take Chuck in a little while. CHUCK’S MOM: You think you're better than me, don't you? You're not. Maybe I drank a little too much. But you poured them, didn't you? CHASE: You were like this when you got here, Mrs. Skolnick. We're not even open today. Your son made you a Valentine's Day card, and he's proud of it. You might want to make a big deal out of it when he gets home. BRULIAN’S HOUSE Brooke and Julian are sitting in the couch. BROOKE: These are the best days, aren't they? When we look back, these are the days we'll remember. JULIAN: It's a day I'll remember. I'll tell you that much. BROOKE: It's a good day. Hey, I could really go for a pizza. JULIAN: Ohh. Yeah, you want me to call the pizza guy? BROOKE: That sounds delicious. JULIAN: What are you thinking, baby, meat lovers? BROOKE: Definitely. JULIAN: Okay. BROOKE: Julian, tell the pizza guy to hurry. I'm starving. JULIAN: Me too. MOUTH’S APARTMENT Mouth and Millie exchange Valentine gifts. MILLICENT: What you thinking, Marvin McFadden? MOUTH: I was thinking about, um, eating Chinese food with you in New York and just all we've been through and how it's nice to have you here. MILLICENT: It's nice to be here. And by "here," I don't just mean tonight. MOUTH: I got you a little something. A few things, actually. Here, open that one first. MILLICENT: What could it be? My own whole muffin? MOUTH: That is two complete halves right there. MILLICENT: Wow. Very impressive. MOUTH: Mm-hmm, and there's also this. Brooke helped me out with that one. She said you liked that stuff, so... MILLICENT: I love it, but it's really expensive. MOUTH: Eh, I asked Chase for a couple extra hours at Tric. Not that I think you need a stitch of makeup, because you are very beautiful. MILLICENT: Thank you. I also got you a couple of things. Half a muffin. MOUTH: I so wanted half that thing. MILLICENT: And this. MOUTH: Oh, wow. I love it. MILLICENT: It's to wear with your gray suit when you get that reporter job at the station. MOUTH: Thank you. I love you, Millie. MILLICENT: I love you more, Marvin. CLUB TRIC Clay and Quinn leave the car to enter in the Tric. CLAY: Damn, my baby can wear a dress. QUINN: Thank you, handsome. Oh, I think Tric is closed. CLAY: What? Oh, come on. QUINN: It's fine. 034 Come on. Let's go. CLAY: No, it's not. I've ruined your Valentine's Day. QUINN: No, you haven't. CLAY: Maybe Chase or Mouth are here. Quinn and Clay enter the Tric and Chuck welcomes them. CHUCK: Table for two? Right this way. QUINN: You said you hated Valentine's Day. CLAY: When did I say that? QUINN: In the shower, you said you liked my butt and you hated Valentine's day. CLAY: Well, I guess I lied about one of those things. QUINN: So you're a liar. CLAY: I'm a liar with a purpose. Now, come on. There's more. QUINN: Oh. What are you up to? CLAY: I have no idea what's happening, but our waiter looks crazy, so I suggest we play along. QUINN: Thank you. (Chase is on the scene) CHASE: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, for one night only, City and Colour. City and Colour starts to sing. QUINN: Oh, my God.

CHUCK: I...it's okay.I mean, my dad said the same thing...About not singing at school or anything. CHASE: Well, you know what, buddy? I think I was wrong about that. As a matter of fact, I was thinking that song's way too good for people not to hear. CHUCK: Really? CHASE: Yeah. So I'm gonna talk to my friend who runs a recording studio and see if we can get it recorded. CHUCK: You mean Jamie's mom? I could do that. I mean... Thank you. CHASE: You're welcome. You got your mom's Valentine? CHUCK: Yeah. I hope she likes it. CHASE: I'm sure she will. CHUCK: Two years is a long time, huh? CHASE: It's not that long.

And they'll look at us, and they'll know they are loved and wanted and needed. And they'll know we searched for them...Like I searched for you. BROOKE: I want that so much, and I want it with you.

PREVIOUSLY ON ONE TREE HILL JULIAN: This glove once belonged to Roberto Clemente. Thought Jamie might like it. NATHAN: Are you sure about this, man? JULIAN: That glove belongs on the hand of someone who loves the game. Me, I used to stand out in right field and chase butterflies. CLAY: What if I told you there was a college prospect who threw 98 miles an hour accurately? NATHAN: There must be a reason he doesn't have an Agent. CLAY: Well, what if I told you his name was Kellerman? As in Professor Kellerman's son. MOUTH: Oh, wow. I love it. MILLICENT: It's to wear with your gray suit when you get that reporter job at the station. MOUTH: Thank you. MOUTH: Oh, it's the station. It's for you. JULIAN: I think we should adopt.

JAMIE'S BEDROOM Jamie is sitting on his bed. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Millicent wakes up for her first day at work. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke practices for the interview at the adoption agency. BROOKE: My parents? I'm so glad you asked. My parents are the two most supportive people on the planet. Mm. If I could wrap my childhood up in a bow and give it as a gift, I would. JULIAN: What, with the mother in prison and the absentee father? BROOKE: I just want it to be perfect. JULIAN: I know, but just try to relax. It's only our first interview. BROOKE: And it could be our only. Do you know how crazy it is that we got a call so soon? We need to prepare. JULIAN: We need to prepare to be ourselves? BROOKE: Trust me. I have been through this before. It takes some couples years to adopt. You don't get an opportunity like this every day. It's like all the stars aligned for us. JULIAN: You know, maybe we should trust the stars, then. BROOKE: Just promise me that you'll follow my lead today. JULIAN: Okay. Okay, you're the expert. OUTSIDE Clay and Nathan are still here. CLAY: All right, that's it. Time's up. I can't believe Ian just blew us off. Well, I guess that the Kellerman apple doesn't fall far from the douche-bag tree. NATHAN: I would've pulled this move, too, back in the day. CLAY: Yeah, and I wouldn't have signed you. NATHAN: And you would've regretted it. JAMIE'S BEDROOM Haley-dressed in baseball garb-tells Jamie she's going to be at his game with a whistle. HALEY: Hey! Are you sure you're not gonna regret me staying home today? JAMIE: W-why are you wearing that? HALEY: Because I'm so excited. I've got a new sport to watch. I got new lingo to learn and new plays to call and new cheers to cheer. Uh, uh, we want a catcher, not a belly scratcher! JAMIE: There's no whistles in baseball, mom. HALEY: Oh. Well, there is now. JAMIE: Then the answer is no. I won't regret you not being there.

You're great at your job, and I'm just some silly girl pretending to be a reporter. MOUTH: Hey, they liked you on the audition tape, and so did I, and they were right. And the best part is now we'll be able to afford a whole muffin. Ooh, maybe even those green pistachio ones. MILLICENT: I love those, but they're... MOUTH: So expensive. Do it for the green pistachio muffins, Millie. MILLICENT: Are you sure? MOUTH: I'm sure. You're gonna do great. MILLICENT: Thank you. Okay, here I go. I love you, Marvin McFadden. CLINN'S HOUSE Quinn talks to Clay about the brush she wants to give Haley for the baby. CLAY: Is that for brushing or paddling? QUINN: Very funny. It's for Haley. My mom had it engraved for me when I was born, and since she's having a girl, I thought she'd like it. CLAY: You don't want to keep it? QUINN: It'll mean a lot to her, and she deserves it. Haley's such an incredible... (Her phone is ringing) QUINN: Damn it! She will not stop calling me. She's been stalking me all morning to hang out, and I have to go to Brooke's and help set up for her surprise shower, and I'm running out of excuses. CLAY: Easy. Tell her you have to rotate your tires. No one ever wants to help with tires. It's an inferior part of the car. QUINN(at phone): Hi, Haley. Oh, no, sorry. I had my phone on silent by accident. Oh, I can't. I have to, uh, rotate my tires. No, that's not a euphemism. Oh, really? Great. Yay. See you soon. (She hangs up) QUINN: Guess what Haley knows how to do and offered to help me with right after we watch "Love Actually"? CLAY: Honestly, you haven't rotated them in a while. That lying thing's a tangled web. ADOPTION AGENCY Brooke and Julian meet with Chloe about adopting her baby. BROOKE: I was a great student, honor roll, that sort of thing. And now we're homebodies. A cup of green tea and a movie is us in a nutshell. Organic food. JULIAN: Love the organic food. CHLOE: Okay, uh, that sounds nice. So, um, do you guys mind if I ask you what you do for a living? JULIAN: Oh, well, actually...Ow. BROOKE: Actually, Julian is a pretty big-time film director. He used to live in Hollywood. And I am a clothing designer. Do you know Clothes Over Bros? CHLOE: Oh, no, I don't really follow fashion. BROOKE: Oh. That's good. That's good. CHLOE: Okay, so, um, what about your parents? Would there be some supportive grandparents around? JULIAN: Define "supportive." Ow! BROOKE: Dear. Honey. Our parents are wonderful people solid, even-keeled. Wouldn't you agree, honey? JULIAN: Mm-hmm. Julian and Brooke leave the room and talks in the hall. BROOKE: That went better than I expected. We sounded like the perfect parents. JULIAN: We could've been a little bit more ourselves, but I'm sure she loved us, whoever we were in there. BROOKE: Trust me. I've been through these kinds of things before, and that was an a-plus interview. JULIAN: Yeah, I guess you're right. How could she not love us? Look how adorable we are. BROOKE: You know what I think? I think we might be getting a baby, baby. Mm. ONE TREE HILL – OPEN CREDITS BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke jumps on the bed. JULIAN: Brooke? What's that sound? BROOKE: We're getting a baby. We're getting a baby. JULIAN: Brooke Penelope Davis Baker, you break that box spring, you're sleeping on the floor. BROOKE: Ooh, daddy's mad, but there isn't a box spring. JULIAN: Well, even so, you get over here before you mess up and I have to raise that baby alone. BROOKE: Oh, yeah? JULIAN: I gotcha, you crazy tigger-y thing. BROOKE: Mm, I like it when you get me. I'm happy to be gotten. Mm. I love you, you know that? JULIAN: Nice to know, since I love you back. So, what time's the shower? BROOKE: Oh, whenever Quinn gets Haley here. JULIAN: If. BROOKE: What do you mean, "if"? JULIAN: Surprise things never work out. There's always stress and telling people white lies by people who aren't even good at telling white lies, and it's always a mess. BROOKE: Well, this one's gonna be great. JULIAN: Okay. BROOKE: So, I was thinking we...Oh. Are you getting undressed? JULIAN: Yeah. Is that okay? BROOKE: Yeah. Go ahead. I'll watch. Or we could try to break the box spring. JULIAN: There isn't a box spring. BROOKE: Even so, get over here. Oh! Aah! (Julian jumps on the bed) JULIAN: You're right. This is fun. We're getting a baby! Whoo! I'm gonna be a father!

NATHAN: He should be. He's a Scott boy. HALEY: What about the off-chance that he doesn't do so well? You gonna go all Dan Scott on him? I'm kidding! I just know how competitive you are. NATHAN: I am not that competitive. Okay. That's fair. HALEY: Here. NATHAN: There's no whistles in baseball, Hales. HALEY: Yeah, so I've been told. NATHAN: Oh, and, Hales, my dad could never really get over who he thought he was supposed to be. But I'm just fine with being Jamie Scott's dad and Haley James' husband and father to... HALEY: To? NATHAN: Little... HALEY: Nice try. NATHAN: I gave it a sh*t. HALEY: Actually, I-I do have an idea, but I kind of want to run it by somebody else first. Is that okay? NATHAN: Of course. HALEY: Have fun! Go, team Scott! Whoo-hoo! BRULIAN'S HOUSE Quinn helps Brooke to prepare the shower. BROOKE: Hey, Haley's calling you. Do you want me to get it? QUINN: No, don't! Don't answer it.

QUINN: Yeah, I'm not...not good at this. BROOKE: No. Julian is here. JULIAN: All right, I'm headed out. I told Nathan and Clay I'd help coach Little League. BROOKE: You're gonna help coach? JULIAN: Just because my area of expertise is more in the butterfly-catching aspect of the game does not mean I will not be an asset. I'll give them a pep talk during intermission. BROOKE: Intermission? JULIAN: Halftime? BROOKE: Seventh-inning stretch? QUINN: There's only six innings in Little League. BROOKE: Then I got nothing. (Quinn's phone ring) QUINN(at phone): Hi, Haley. Oh, sorry about that. No, no. Um, I'm actually already on my way, so I'll just. I'll see you soon. Yay! Ohh. Now I got nothing. I'm sorry. Can you finish this by yourself? BROOKE: Yes, I'll be fine.

IAN: Uh, sorry, man. I had this, uh, thing. Do me a favor and get her name. CLAY: Hey. I'm Clay. You must be... KATE: Kate. CLAY: Hey, Kate. IAN: Yeah, Kate here loves baseball. KATE: Players. CLAY: Yeah. NATHAN: Ian, I want you to meet my son. Jamie, this is Ian Kellerman. He's gonna be the next big thing in the major leagues if we have anything to say about it. IAN: What's up, little man? JAMIE: Hey. IAN: Dude, nice glove. JULIAN: That glove belonged to Roberto Clemente! Ooh, butterfly. IAN: So, you got tryouts today, huh? Want to know a secret? JAMIE: Sure. IAN: All right. When you're getting up to bat, really take your time getting into the batter's box, right? And then right before the first pitch, make eye contact with the pitcher. Stare him down. JAMIE: Like this? IAN: Ooh, that's strong. Good. Then, right at the last second, smile at him. Really freaks them out. JAMIE: Sweet. Thanks. IAN: No problem, man. All right, guys, I got to run. I got to get Kate here home. Hey, uh, thanks for that, man. Let's get together later, say, uh, 3:00? CLAY: Sure. IAN: Let's go, Kate. NATHAN: Ian. 3:00 means 3:00. IAN: Hey, I said I was sorry, all right? NATHAN: All right. Julian whistles once. JULIAN: All right. Let's get this audition started. NATHAN: Julian, there's no whistles in baseball. CLAY: Or auditions. NALEY'S HOUSE Quinn and Haley are sitting on the couch and talk. QUINN: Oh, Brooke invited us over later, so I told her we'd have second half of girl's day over there. I hope that's okay. HALEY: Nah. I don't think so. QUINN: W-what? HALEY: Well, I...sorry. I just haven't had the house to myself in so long. I kind of was looking forward to sitting on the couch and doing nothing all day, except for rotating those tires. QUINN: Great. HALEY: Actually, there is a reason I invited you over. QUINN: Okay, fine, I will French-braid your hair, but you've got to learn to do this yourself. You're having a daughter, you know. HALEY: A daughter that I really want to name after mom. I remember you told me once that you wanted to name your first daughter Lydia, so I just wanted to check if that was okay with you. QUINN: You know what I want? I want a niece named Lydia. And she's gonna be beautiful, just like her mom. And just like our mom. BASEBALL FIELD Chuck and Jamie try out for the little league team. CHUCK: You guys better move 10 feet back out there. You're about to get the Chuck special. Man, I got hosed! CLAY: Jamie Scott, you're up. JAMIE: Next time, just point to the dugout. CHUCK: Chuck! No fair. Coach's son! MOUTH'S APARTMENT Millie shows Mouth the pile of work she has. MOUTH: Hi. MILLICENT: Hi. Can you believe all this? MOUTH: Well, yeah, sort of. I did used to have that job. MILLICENT: I didn't know I had to write my own stories. I don't know how to write my own stories. MOUTH: I'm sorry. I should've told you that. MILLICENT: I should go. I have to get to Haley's baby shower. What's so funny? MOUTH: Um, you might want to leave that stuff here, unless you're planning on doing a story about the shower. MILLICENT: Sorry. See you. BASEBALL FIELD Nathan and Clay pick the players for the team. NATHAN: All right. In no order of importance, talent, or favoritism, we have Madison. CLAY: You see that? Fortitude. Strong. NATHAN: Okay, Steven. All right, Steven. Next is Daniel. CLAY: Daniel. Daniel. NATHAN: Clyde. Uh, Jamie Scott. Uh, Chuck. CHUCK: Mvp! Mvp Chuck! JULIAN: Oh! NALEY'S HOUSE Haley sets up an ice cream party. QUINN: What's this? HALEY: Ice-cream party for Jamie. QUINN: Uh, no, we have to get going because Brooke's expecting us, remember? HALEY: Oh, Brooke can wait. Ice cream is the best part about Little League. Guys and the team eat ice-cream. JULIAN: Mmm. Eating ice cream is the best part about Little League, except for maybe catching butterflies. CLAY: Mmm. QUINN: Okay, I'm supposed to get Haley to her shower, so please help me out. HALEY: Hey! Who wants sprinkles? CLAY: Sprinkles are good. NATHAN: Yeah, and whipped cream. QUINN: Please. HALEY: Thank you. Okay. Quinny, I made some ice cream for us, too. QUINN: Oh, yay. Eat. Eat your ice cream. Eat. Let's go. Go. Okay, mmm. I'm done. We can go. HALEY: Quinn, there's no rush. QUINN: We got to leave and go to Brooke's. HALEY: Why? QUINN: Because we're throwing you a surprise shower today! Ow. Brain freeze. HALEY: You guys are throwing me a baby shower? QUINN: Yeah. Please act surprised. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Quinn and Haley arrive. GIRLS: Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! HALEY: Oh, my gosh. What do you guys mean, surprise? It's not like it's my birthday or anything. That too much? QUINN: Yes. HALEY: Hi! BROOKE: You told her, didn't you? QUINN: Totally. BROOKE: Oh, yay! ON THE DOCK Nathan, Julian, and Clay meet Ian on the dock. JULIAN: So, tell me again who this kid is. CLAY: Oh, he's a douche. NATHAN: He's a potential client. CLAY: He's a douche-y one. NATHAN: Yeah. Well, this is it. JULIAN: We're meeting him on a boat? Sweet. CLAY: Now I can say "I'm on a boat" when I'm actually on a boat. JULIAN: Hope you brought your flippy-floppys. NATHAN: Uh, how do we knock? JULIAN: Maybe just rock it a bit? CLAY: Too late. (A girl leaves the boat) IAN: Take care, Tracy. Her name's Tracy. JULIAN: So, you live on a boat? IAN: No, I party on a boat. It's my dad's pride and joy, so I like to trash it now and then. You guys in? NATHAN: Maybe we should just go to a bar. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Haley is the princess of the day. BROOKE: Okay, one more thing. QUINN: Ooh. HALEY: Oh, my goodness. I am the queen. BROOKE: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. HALEY: Okay, is this from your bachelorette party? BROOKE: Reuse, recycle. ALEX: So, when's your big party coming? QUINN: For what? ALEX: Oh, shut up. You know you're totally getting a ring soon. You lucky bitch. QUINN: No, no, no, I'm not getting a ring. BROOKE: Are you and Clay getting engaged? I need to hear stories. I'm having postpartum wedding blues. Please tell me everything. QUINN: All right, let's get this shower officially started. These presents aren't gonna open up themselves. ALEX: Nice dodge, ring-getter. BAR The guys talk about their relationships with their fathers at the bar. CLAY: That was nice. IAN: Finally. CLAY: So, Ian, how come your dad hates Nathan? NATHAN: What he means is he and I got off on the wrong foot and never really got back on the right one. IAN: That's funny. Had a similar experience with the old man. JULIAN: Well, maybe you can fix it. You know, there was a time when I barely spoke to my dad, but it's good now. IAN: It's not gonna happen, dude. My dad cares about three things books, his dog, and that boat. NATHAN: Well, you have to admit, the dog is pretty cool. He rides skateboards. CLAY: A skateboarding dog? JULIAN: That's pretty cool. NATHAN: What about your mom, Ian? Are you close to her? IAN: Well, I was, but my mom was a smart woman. She had the good sense to divorce my dad and die before he could make her anymore miserable. Are you guys sure you don't want to go back and trash the boat? BRULIAN'S HOUSE Quinn gives her present. QUINN: So, even though we come from a big family, Haley and I have always been close. You know, you've always been there for me, my little sis someone to believe in, someone to share all my secrets with, and now...Jamie's getting a little sister, and I know that he's gonna love her as much as I love you. And you're gonna love your daughter as much as mom loved us. HALEY: Quinn. This is yours. Mom gave it to you. QUINN: I know, but now I'm giving it to you. HALEY: "My girl." Thank you, sis. QUINN: You're welcome. I love you. HALEY: Oh. BAR Guys talk about brothers. IAN: So, you guys have any brothers? NATHAN: Mnh-mnh. I have a... Yes. Yeah. IAN: So you guys understand, then. It was just me growing up, so all my dad's hopes and dreams were pinned on me. NATHAN: I might have had a brother, but that didn't save either of us from our dad's failed dreams. IAN: So you get it. NATHAN: I get it. CLAY: Oh, he gets it. Trust me. IAN: I'll be right back. CLAY: Dude, you have been zen all day today. What's going on with you? JULIAN: Just taking in all the dad talk because Brooke and I are going to adopt. Yeah, we had our first interview with a birth mother this morning, and it went great, so we'll see. NATHAN: That is news worth celebrating. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Girls drink champagne. LAUREN: Ooh, thank you... BROOKE: Mm-hmm. LAUREN: For the champagne and for possibly saving my life. BROOKE: Well, I'll drink to that. Cheers. Haley can't drink alcohol. HALEY: Oh, I miss beer. ALEX: Get someone to drink it for you. The buzz isn't as good, but the hangover's better. HALEY: Okay, chug that beer for me. QUINN: No, have -- have Brooke do it. She's the expert. BROOKE: What?! QUINN: Come on. Oh, Brooke! HALEY: Yeah, Brooke, chug a beer for me. BROOKE: No way. HALEY: Come on. It'll be like a designated driver, but a designated drinker please? LAUREN: Listen to the pregnant lady. BROOKE: I so should not have saved you. GIRLS: All right. All right. HALEY: Oh, that looks so refreshing. BROOKE: Okay. GIRLS: Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Brooke chugs a beer while Chloe shows up on her doorstep. She invites Chloe to stay for the party. BROOKE: I'm so sorry...I-I didn't know that you were stopping by today. It's totally okay, of course. We're just throwing a baby shower for my friend. CHLOE: Okay. It's okay. I understand. Um, I-I just came by to bring you these a little thank-you for meeting me this morning. I know it was last-minute. BROOKE: You didn't have to do that. Do you want to come in and stay a while? Julian's not here, but you can meet some of our friends. CHLOE: No, I-I should go. I don't want to crash. BROOKE: No, honestly, stay. I'd love it. Um, just one thing I hope this isn't weird. We haven't told anyone about this, that we're trying to adopt. I just didn't want to get my hopes up in case it didn't happen, so... HALEY: Hi. CHLOE: Hi. BROOKE: Haley, uh, this is, um...this is... CHLOE: I-I'm... I'm Chloe. I-I came by to bring you guys some cookies for your baby shower. HALEY: Thank you. That's really sweet of you. Everybody treats you so nice when you're pregnant. How far along are you? CHLOE: Um, about to pop, far along. HALEY: You must be starving. Feel free to have some food. And just, you know, don't eat my ho ho cake. BROOKE: Um, Millie, will you show Chloe around? She's a fashion student and a friend. Okay. MILLICENT: Okay? BROOKE: Haley. Brooke and Haley isolates in the kitchen. BROOKE: I need to tell you something. HALEY: Do you have any pickles? BROOKE: Haley! HALEY: What? BROOKE: Julian and I only met Chloe this morning. She's putting her baby up for adoption, and she met with us. HALEY: Oh, my... BROOKE: Shh! Nobody knows yet. HALEY: Oh, sorry. Oh, my God, I can't keep this in. BROOKE: We might be moms together. But it's only if she likes us, and it's just the interview phase. HALEY: How could she not like you? BROOKE: Really? Do you think so? HALEY: Are you kidding me? There's no way that girl can spend any time with you and not think you would be an amazing mother. My God! Alex talks with Quinn. ALEX: So, how does it work? Does he just guess what you like, or do you guys talk about it beforehand? I mean, that seems less fun, but then you at least get the ring that you want. CHLOE: Oh, are you getting engaged? QUINN: No, I'm just dating. MILLICENT: They're in limbo. They're more than dating but not yet engaged. I am, too limbo. QUINN: No, we're not in limbo. I just don't feel the need to rush into anything. I mean, maybe if I got pregnant, but... BAR Guys talks about children. IAN: I can't imagine having kids, man, until I'm like 40, maybe. NATHAN: Kids are great. You'll see. And hopefully Julian will be seeing very soon. IAN: Well, dude, if it does happen, don't be a dick. JULIAN: Okay. IAN: I'm just saying, like, don't try to make your kid be you. My dad never got me, ever, not when I was 5, not now. CLAY: You ever try talking to him about it? IAN: No, man. I stopped trying to talk to him right about the time he stopped caring if we ever really spoke. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke offers a drink to Chloe. BROOKE: Hi. Here you go. CHLOE: Oh, thank you. MILLICENT: Brooke, I was just telling Chloe about my new job. BROOKE: Oh, I forgot to congratulate you. MILLICENT: Don't worry about it. At this rate, I could join you in the unemployment line by the end of the week. BROOKE: Oh. I'm not unemployed. MILLICENT: Okay, to-ma-to, to-mah-to. You lost your company. Um... So, anyway, about my new job, they gave me so much work to do, I'd have to start doing coke again just to get it all done. I'm joking. BROOKE: She's joking. MILLICENT: I can joke about rehab now. BROOKE: Good. CHLOE: Wait. You're unemployed? I thought you said you designed clothes. BROOKE: I do. Well, I had a clothing company, a very successful one. We just got into some trouble, so I don't have that anymore. But I'm figuring out what I'm gonna do next with all my... Victoria enters in the house. VICTORIA: What? Really? CHLOE: Who's that? ALEX: Brooke, your bitch of a mom's here. BROOKE: Mother. VICTORIA: Why don't you return my calls? BROOKE: This is really not a good time. VICTORIA: I thought we were good after the wedding. Apparently someone goes to prison and you don't cut them a break? CHLOE: Wait. Prison? VICTORIA: Yeah, prison. Get used to it, everyone. I went to prison. It's not that big a deal. It happens. MILLICENT: Victoria, have a Martini and calm down. Nobody here is ashamed about jail time. I mean, I went to jail, and I am not ashamed to say it. ALEX: Honestly, who hasn't been to jail? I remember my visit very fondly. BROOKE: Okay, can we all stop saying "jail"? Haley? HALEY: Yeah. Let's just be rational and stop over exaggerating. Jail is so not that big of a deal. QUINN: Well, you would know. I mean, you've been more than any of us. CHLOE: Okay, wait. You've all been to jail? LAUREN: Ooh, no. I haven't. Yet. I haven't yet. CHLOE: Okay, you know what? I'm gonna go. BROOKE: No, it's... HALEY: I wanted to make a toast to my amazing friend Brooke for throwing this party and for...saving my son's life, because if she hadn't risked hers to save Jamie, I would not be standing here, with all of you, happy. Brooke, there is a reason why you are Jamie's godmother. And I'm thankful every day that you are. So, here's to my best friend, Brooke Davis. There is no one else to whom I would trust my child more. Brooke apologizes to Chloe for lying and explains her desire to be a mother. BROOKE: You almost forgot this. CHLOE: Thanks. BROOKE: Chloe, wait. There's something I need to say to you before you decide that we're not the right parents for your baby, starting with I'm sorry. I know I said a bunch of things to you this morning that weren't true, and I left out some things that maybe I shouldn't have, like losing my company and maybe my mom going to prison. But I did that because I was worried about what you would think of us. CHLOE: Brooke, I'm 19 and pregnant. I kind of get the whole passing-judgment thing. BROOKE: But I'm not 19, and I know that I should've been honest with you. CHLOE: So be honest now. BROOKE: When I was a teenager, I was a mess. I was popular, but I had no idea who I was or what I wanted. And I started a clothing line, and it became more successful than I could have ever dreamed. But even at the height of my success, I always felt like something was missing. Love. A family. And then I met Julian. And he is an amazing director, but he's an even more amazing man, and I know that he's gonna be the most amazing father. So there was a time when I didn't know who I was or who I wanted to be. But I've known for a long time now. I want to be a mom. And I want to see Julian be a dad. And I want our child to feel loved and protected, even when they're struggling, like I did, like -- like we all have. CHLOE: You look really wasted here. BROOKE: I was. I have better ones if... CHLOE: No, it's...it's okay. Thank you for telling me the truth. I'll think about it, okay? BASEBALL FIELD Ian makes some throws. NATHAN: You can't have an open bottle on the mound in the pros. Think you got to pour it in a cup. IAN: You know how you spent the day today with your kid, just all the coaching and tryouts? To this day, my dad's come to one game one. And I pitched right here on campus. NATHAN: I'm sorry, man. That's crazy. IAN: It's okay, though, 'cause this is the only place in the world that he can't get to me right here on this mound. I guess he doesn't understand it. But you want to know a secret? Neither do I. And I don't want to know. I throw the ball, they swing, they miss. I don't want to know why or how. There's kind of a...a beauty in that, you know? NATHAN: Yeah, I do know. IAN: Which part? NATHAN: All of it. IAN: So you guys want to do this, be my agents? NATHAN: We do. But I got to warn you, it might upset your father a little bit. You okay with that? IAN: Perfect. NATHAN: Welcome to Fortitude. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Millicent goes home. MILLICENT: I'm home. What is all this? MOUTH: I wrote a couple stories for you. I-I thought it might help. And I set up the camera so we can practice them together. When I went on the air for the first time, someone I love gave me this great advice, just pretend you're talking to me. MILLICENT: Someone you love. MOUTH: Yeah. MILLICENT: Best roommate ever. MOUTH: You ready? BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian and Brooke cleans up the house. JULIAN: Well, that doesn't sound that bad. BROOKE: It was that bad. There's no possible way she wants us as the parents after today. Millie basically told her that we're destitute while joking about her drug problem, and then my mother showed up yelling about prison. JULIAN: Hey, look... I'm sure we can explain it. BROOKE: I tried that. She still left. NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan is home. NATHAN: Hey. HALEY: Hey! Oh, come here. Mm. NATHAN: Oh. What was that for? HALEY: That was because Jamie said he had a great day, and his dad was a big part of that. NATHAN: Well, how was his mom's day? HALEY: It was good. It was great, actually. Um, and I think Lydia really enjoyed it, too. NATHAN: Lydia. HALEY: Yeah. I didn't want to get my hopes up until I talked to Quinn, but what do you think? NATHAN: Nathan, Haley, Jamie, and Lydia. It's perfect. HALEY: Yeah? NATHAN: Mm-hmm. HALEY: Mm. CLAY'S CAR Clay and Quinn go home. CLAY: So, was it good, the shower? QUINN: Huh? Yeah. CLAY: Hey. Where's your head, Quinn James? QUINN: Just thinking about something the girls said today. Wait. Pull over. NALEY'S HOUSE Jamie is dressed like a baseball player. HALEY: Hey, look at you! That looks awesome! High five. Ha-ha. JAMIE: Thanks. Did you have fun at your party? HALEY: I did. I missed you, though. And I think the baby did, too. JAMIE: Yeah, dad said you were gonna name her after grandma. HALEY: Mm-hmm. JAMIE: I think that's pretty cool. I made her a present. HALEY: You did? "To Lydia. I can't wait to play catch with you. Love, your big brother Jamie." She's gonna love it. And she's gonna love having you as a big brother. Come here. GARDEN Quinn feels that she was already came here. CLAY: Quinn? QUINN: There's something about this place. It feels so familiar. Do you feel it? FLASHBACK, GARDEN Quinn and Clay already came here when they were in the coma. QUINN: Beautiful. CLAY: I was gonna take you here. GARDEN CLAY: Yeah. Have we been here before? FLASHBACK, GARDEN CLAY: Promise me that you'll go back here someday. QUINN: We'll go together. GARDEN QUINN: No. I just want you to know that I love you. And I love us just where we are. You're perfect with me. CLAY: I love us, too. And just where we are is my favorite place to be. (They kiss) BRULIAN'S HOUSE Somebody knocks on the door, it's Chloe. JULIAN: Oh, hey, Chloe. CHLOE: Hi. Is Brooke here? I need to tell you guys something. JULIAN: Yeah. BROOKE: Yeah. Hi, Chloe. I'm here. CHLOE: Hi. Um, so, I've...I've thought a lot about today and about everything, really. And, uh, it seems like you guys have a lot of baggage. The thing is, I-I want two people who are gonna love this baby, who can care for this baby, and who will understand when they make a mistake. So I think it's okay that you guys have, too. And that's the reason why I want you guys to be the parents. End of the episode.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "08x16 - I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here"}	foreverdreaming
PREVIOUSLY ON ONE TREE HILL IAN: You guys here to sign me? CLAY: Depends on what you're looking for in an Agent. IAN: Whoever gets me the most money up front. Highest signing bonus wins. I'm one curve ball away from blwing out my arm and being washed up like you two. So I'll take mine now the money, all of it. MOUTH : Wow. Millicent Huxtable, field reporter. I'd watch you all day long. MILLICENT: This job should be yours, Marvin. You're great at what you do, and I'm just some silly girl pretending to be a reporter. JAMIE: Aunt Brooke! BROOKE: Jamie?! Are you okay?! JULIAN: Brooke! Brooke! JAMIE: It's Julian! BROOKE: We're in here! We're okay! JULIAN: No, stop! Stop! Stop! BROOKE: Julian! CHLOE: I just want two people who are gonna love this baby, who can take care of this baby. I want you guys to be the parents. NALEY'S HOUSE Quinn makes a toaster pastry. Haley comes to see. QUINN: “Toaster pastry you taste so good and yummy toaster pastry get into my tummy frosting doodle on my strudel and now I'm gonna eat you up” HALEY: Quinn? QUINN: Hmm? HALEY: It's time. QUINN: Huh? Quinn tries to gather her staff. QUINN: Okay, here we go. Breathe, breathe. HALEY: I'm breathing. Breathe. Uh, those are my shoes. QUINN: Uh-huh. HALEY: I'm already wearing shoes. QUINN: Okay, um... HALEY: Where are your keys? QUINN: Keys! Keys. Keys. Keys. Keys. Where are the keys? Those are clay's keys. Where are my keys? HALEY: Didn't you drive clay's car today? QUINN: Uh-huh. They are in the garage. Haley tries to sit in her car. QUINN: We'll take your car. We're gonna be fine. HALEY: I don't think I'm gonna fit in there. QUINN: Yes, we're gonna make it work. Stay positive. Just are you breathing? HALEY: I'm breathing. I'm still breathing. QUINN: Okay, just wait, lift your the leg. HALEY: Quinn, this is not gonna work because I have to get in the backseat. QUINN: There is no backseat! HALEY: I know. Haley is in the trunk of Clay's car. QUINN: We got this. You're good. HALEY: Quinny, I can't. QUINN: You have to, 'cause you're having the baby! HALEY: Actually, I'm not. QUINN: What? HALEY: Gotcha. Quinn is upset. QUINN: That was a dirty trick. HALEY: It was just a little test, and you need to be ready in case the baby starts coming and Nathan's not here. QUINN: You cried wolf, wolf-crier. HALEY: You want a drink? QUINN: No. HALEY: Toaster pastry? QUINN: No. Yes. What's so funny? HALEY: You tried to stuff me into a Stingray. Well, you were so not ready. QUINN: Oh, I'll be ready. I'll be ready. HALEY: I hope so, 'cause you totally tnk that test. KELLERMAN'S CLASS Kellerman returns the duties to the pupils. KELLERMAN: Do you hate me? Or is it the marijuana or the texting or spending all night on the facepage? Because most of you are failing this class. Most of you. PAINT SHOP Brooke and Julian want to find a color for baby's room. BROOKE: What color should we paint the baby's room? JULIAN: Are you getting a baby's room, Brooke Davis? BROOKE: Yes. JULIAN: Why? Are you getting a baby, Brooke Davis? BROOKE: Yes, I'm getting a baby and a baby's room. And that baby's getting me and us. JULIAN: That baby's getting lucky. BROOKE: Hmm. JULIAN: Well, blue or pink, but since Chloe doesn't want to know the sex ahead of time... BROOKE: Yellow. JULIAN: Green. BROOKE: Yellow's so sunny, though. Golden butter. Golden treasure. Soft duckling. JULIAN: Okay, soft duckling is strong, but don't sleep on enchanted forest. BROOKE: It is enchanted. We're gonna have a family. We're gonna have a baby in a room with paint called enchanted forest or soft duckling. You're my enchanted forest. JULIAN: You're my soft duckling. BROOKE: Mmm. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Millicent is disguised in a chicken. MOUTH: Aw, look at my soft duckling. MILLICENT: I'm supposed to be a chicken. A chicken. MOUTH: Isn't that how the last guy... MILLICENT: Yes! Yes, that's how the last guy got run down in traffic. I don't want to cross the road. MOUTH: Well, why don't you do one of the other stories, then? MILLICENT: Because they're boring, and I want to make a splash. Chicken suit makes a splash. MOUTH: Chicken suit makes a splatter, too. MILLICENT: I know. MOUTH: Okay. Well, how about you read me one of the other stories, and we can come up with an angle? MILLICENT: You'll help me? MOUTH: Of course. Anything for my... Hot chick. MILLICENT: Nice. I am hot. My chicken feet are sweating like you wouldn't believe. MOUTH: Ew. KELLERMAN'S CLASS Nathan comes to see Kellerman. NATHAN: You wanted to see me? KELLERMAN: Were you surprised by your "A," Mr. Scott? NATHAN: A-minus. Were you? KELLERMAN: I believe they invented the word "very" for moments such as these. NATHAN: I will take that as a Dan Scott-like pat on the back, Professor. KELLERMAN: I don't want you representing my son. I'd appreciate it if you would stop. NATHAN: Is that why I got an "A"? KELLERMAN: A-minus. And no. Your representation of Ian, or lack thereof, will not affect your grade for this course. NATHAN: Well, good, because Ian is a hell of a prospect, and he's gonna need an Agent. KELLERMAN: I didn't say I don't want him represented, Mr. Scott. I simply don't want him represented by you. ONE TREE HILL – OPEN CREDITS COFFEE BAR Clay and Nathan talk together. NATHAN: He's just so smug about it, you know. Like I'm not good enough to represent his son. And then he started into the whole separation-of-business- and-personal nonsense. CLAY: Mm. NATHAN: And then that chick from Kellerman's boat came by. She asked about you. CLAY: Who, Tracy? So not as hot as Quinn. NATHAN: So, what do you think? I'm thinking pancakes or fajitas. NATHAN: Never mind. And, really, pancakes or fajitas? How are those your choices? CLAY: Mm, because, Nate, I like pancakes, and I like fajitas. NATHAN: That's like saying applesauce or mashed potatoes. CLAY: Ooh, mashed potatoes sound great. NATHAN: You're very strange. You know that? CLAY: Mm-hmm. Totally weird. (Clay's cellphone rings) CLAY: Hey, oh. Julian. (at phone)What's up, J-man? Yeah, I'm aware it's not Jamie. What's going on? Hello? Hello?! NATHAN: You drop him? CLAY: Yep. I'll just text him back. You know, I can't remember the last time that I actually completed a call. NATHAN: Well, we've only had cellphones for like 30 years. You can't expect miracles. Hey. Tea and tea. CLAY: You know, one day, we're gonna look back and say, "remember when we used to drop calls, and we were all like, 'hello? Is anybody there?'" this is why we text. (Chase comes in) CHASE: Why do people text? CLAY: Because calling people ends in frustration and disappointment. NATHAN: No, people text because they don't like to be put on the spot. Nobody wants to be caught on the other side of that conversation when someone asks them to carpool or lend them money, or when someone tells you that they've always loved you. CHASE: Trust me, the last one's the worst. CLAY: No, not as bad as when they call and then they ask you to smuggle 15 balloons of pure Bolivian cocaine across the Turkish border, and you got bills to pay, and you got a problem saying no. NATHAN: You finished? CLAY: In your butt. Now I'm finished. NATHAN: Nobody likes to be put on the spot. They want to read it, think about it, and then respond, usually with a well-conceived lie or an excuse. CLAY: Or they just pretend they didn't even get it. CHASE: Or when you text that you love someone and you don't hear anything back, you can pretend that they never got it. You can't do that on the phone. I tell myself they're dad or just being held in a pit like in "Silence of the Lambs." (Julian comes in too) JULIAN: It puts the lotion in the basket. Actually, the line was, "it places the lotion in the basket," but everybody always gets it wrong. Anyway, what about the pit in "Silence of the Lambs"? NATHAN: Well, apparently you don't get good cellphone coverage down there. CHASE: Exactly. JULIAN: Oh, well, yeah. We've only had cellphones for the last 30 years, so you can't expect a miracle. Anyway, clear your minds, which is not hard, I know. You ready? Mm-hmm. Soft duckling or enchanted forest? NATHAN: Are you starting a band? Because I would go see soft duckling. JULIAN: No. These are the paint colors for my baby's room. NATHAN: Ugh. CLAY: Mm. CHASE: I got to go to work. I'm... GUYS: Bar manager. CHASE: Hate is a choice. Don't do it. (Chase leaves) JULIAN: Seriously, yellow or green? CLAY: I don't know, that's like asking us to compare applesauce and mashed potatoes. JULIAN: Ooh, mashed potatoes. Nice call. Sounds good, right? NATHAN: I'm so glad that my wife is not having a son. I got to go find Ian. CLAY: Text him! Don't call! Trust me! JULIAN: No. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley makes an another test for Quinn. HALEY: Quinn. It's time. Oh, very nice. QUINN: And look what I found in the garage. HALEY: Ooh, excellent. QUINN: Have a seat. HALEY: Oh! Why, thank you. QUINN: My very roomy S.U.V. is waiting outside. Let's go have a baby. HALEY: Nicely done. QUINN: Thank you. Only thing what if I'm not here and Nathan's not here? HALEY: Hmm. Brooke enters in the house. BROOKE: Haley? Hey, what's going on? Are you okay? HALEY: It's time. BROOKE: Oh, my gosh. Okay. Um, okay. Let's get you to the hospital. Okay. Okay, come on. All right. Are you sure? HALEY: Yeah, my water broke. BROOKE: Okay! Leather seats. Hang on. I just have to get a towel. Come to the kitchen. HALEY: I don't think there's time. BROOKE: There's time. HALEY: But the baby's coming! BROOKE: The baby is not coming! Just...clamp your knees together. HALEY: Clamp my knees together? BROOKE: Like you should've done nine months ago. Where's a towel? HALEY: Oven. BROOKE: Oh! Okay, I got it. Ow! Oh, my God. Okay, I have a towel. I have my car keys. Let's go. Ohh! (Brooke trips and makes fall its keys in the gutter) BROOKE: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. (Quinn comes in) QUINN: Oh. What happened there, Brooke? HALEY: Whew. Brooke tries to have her keys. BROOKE: That was a dirty trick. QUINN: That's what i said. HALEY: Well, you were a disaster. BROOKE: I was not that bad. HALEY: You were a mess. QUINN: You were kind of a mess. BROOKE: I was in complete control until this. I can't get them. We're gonna have to call Julian. HALEY: Hmm. BROOKE: Julian. Julian comes in to recover the keys. JULIAN:: How did this happen again? BROOKE: I tripped. You know how clumsy I am. JULIAN: I don't...I don't know if I can get them. QUINN: Well, gosh, I sure hope Hales doesn't go into labor anytime soon. JULIAN: Well, if she does, we'll just throw her in the bed of my truck. HALEY: Guys? BROOKE: Oh! Are you okay, Haley? HALEY: It's time. JULIAN: What? It's time? HALEY: Uh-huh. JULIAN: You sure? HALEY: Mm-hmm. Julian pass out. Brooke tries to wake up. BROOKE: Julian? Julian. Julian. JULIAN: Where are we? What happened? Did you have your baby? HALEY: No, no, it was just -- it was a little a test. And you passed...out. JULIAN: That's a dirty trick. HALEY: Really? QUINN: I can't help it. They're toaster-pastry deliciousness. BROOKE: She's kind of right. JULIAN: I want one. HALEY: Yeah, I kind of want one, too. Geez, Quinny. How many is that? CLUB TRIC Nathan joins Ian in the Tric. NATHAN: How many is that? IAN: What are you, my father? NATHAN: If I was, I wouldn't be happy with me right now. IAN: So what else is new? Let me guess. He told you not to be my Agent. NATHAN: Pretty much. IAN: Well, then, I guess it's a win/win for you. You get to sign me and piss off the old man. NATHAN: What about you? IAN: Well, I get to sign with good agents, piss off the old man, and look good doing it. It's a win/win/win. You want a drink? NATHAN: No, I got to get home. My wife's pregnant, you know. (Nathan joins Tommy at the bar) NATHAN: You too, huh? TOMMY: You didn't see my test. Chuck is at the bar too. CHUCK: Hey. TOMMY: Hey. CHASE: Dude, you're like 8 years old. CHUCK: 9. I got left back a year. CHASE: Not the point. What's up? CHUCK: Can you help me? MOUTH'S APARTMENT Mouth dresses in a chicken. MOUTH: Of course I'll help you. Just tell me what the story's about. MILLICENT: You wanted to wear the suit, didn't you? MOUTH: I did. MILLICENT: You happy? MOUTH: I am. It's nice. I feel chicken-y. MILLICENT: Okay. Well, basically they did a study saying that street signs are more noticeable if only the first letter is capitalized, not the whole name. MOUTH: They did not do that study. MILLICENT: Yes, they did. MOUTH: Someone actually paid someone money for that? MILLICENT: Mm-hmm, you did, with your taxpayer dollars...I mean, when you had a job. MOUTH: I have a job. I'm a bartender. MILLICENT: You're kind of more of a bar back. MOUTH: Who bartends once in a while. MILLICENT: Okay, sorry. Bartender. MOUTH: I pay my taxes. MILLICENT: I know you do, honey. You are a hard-working, tax-paying, very handsome, chicken-y-feeling bartender. I still need help on the story. MOUTH: Okay, well, maybe you could do something like, um, "why did the chicken cross the wrong road? Because he couldn't read the street signs." MILLICENT: Hey, that's pretty good. MOUTH: So they really paid someone for this study? Like, some firm somewhere, with supposedly educated people, did this? MILLICENT: Mm-hmm. They're changing the signs, too. They say signs with all capital letters cause people to stare a little longer, and the lingering causes accidents. MOUTH: The lingering? MILLICENT: Mm-hmm. MOUTH: The lingering on the all-capital-letter street signs that we've had since the beginning of time. MILLICENT: Mm-hmm. MOUTH: Let me ask you a question. Which are larger, capital letters or smaller letters? MILLICENT: Capital letters. MOUTH: And what's easier to see, larger things or small things? MILLICENT: Larger. MOUTH: And what do you think would cause one to linger on a street sign, the fact that the larger, easier-to-read letters tripped you up, or the fact that, hey, why are all the street signs different? Bam. Accident. MILLCIENT: Bam? MOUTH: Bam, not to mention the money they spent on this study and the money they're gonna spend to change all the street signs. MILLICENT: $110 per sign on every street sign in America. MOUTH: Unbelievable. Schools don't have art or music or hot lunches or books, and this is where my tax dollars as a bartender are going? MILLICENT: Wow. You are really worked up about this street-sign thing. MOUTH: I am. MILLICENT: And kind of the bartender thing, too. I guess I'll do it, then the story. MOUTH: Well, only do it if you'll say how ridiculous it is, that it's a ridiculous, stupid, wasteful project. MILLICENT: I wish. MOUTH: Well, Jerry loves stuff like that. You know? Just call it, um, social commentary. MILLICENT: I don't think so, but thanks. You hot? MOUTH: Yeah, you're right. My feet are sweating. MILLICENT: Mm-hmm. MOUTH: You know, if a guy plays most of his career in the minors, and then he gets called up... MILLICENT: You're a bartender. MOUTH: He's a major-leaguer, Millie. MILLICENT: Bartender. Bartender. MOUTH: That's right. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian and Brooke go home. Chloe is here. BROOKE: Okay, here we go. JULIAN: Brooke, I'm fine. BROOKE: I know. It's okay. You just got a little spooked. JULIAN: I really do think it was more from standing up so fast than anything. BROOKE: Well, you saved my keys, and if you hadn't... CHLOE: You would've had to use the spare key under the gnome statue. Hi. JULIAN: Hi. BROOKE: Chloe, what are you doing here? CHLOE: Oh, I'm making a toaster pastry. BROOKE: But how did you get in? CHLOE: I used the spare key under the gnome statue. You want one? JULIAN: Yes, but what are you doing here, other than making delicious toaster strudel? I mean, are you okay? CHLOE: There's been a change of plans. I had a checkup this morning, and, um...looks like your baby's gonna be here sooner than we thought. JULIAN: Oh. BROOKE: Oh. NALEY'S HOUSE Clay and Nathan launch a ball in a basket. CLAY: So, tell me again how it went down. NATHAN: I got an a-minus, he asked to see me, and then he told me he didn't want us representing Ian. You believe that? CLAY: Everything except the a-minus part. So, what do you think? NATHAN: Well, I think Kellerman's a bully, and we need to get Ian a great deal so he can get out from under his father and never look back. CLAY: And are we talking about Ian Kellerman now or Nathan Scott? NATHAN: I know you don't like Ian. And on the surface, there's not a lot to like. But I've been there, clay. He just needs to grow up and find some sab. CLAY: You see the past when you look at this kid. I get that. But, buddy, I don't trust him. NATHAN: So we bat Kellerman at his own game, with his own words. Trust is a gamble. Get it in writing. We have Ian sign a contract with us. That way Kellerman can't influence him or pressure him. And then we include a morals clause in case you're right and I'm wrong, which I'm not. CLAY: So you bat Kellerman using his own textbook. Nice going, a-minus. (Haley comes in) HALEY: Nathan! It's time! NATHAN: Yeah. Okay. We're just gonna finish this game. HALEY: The baby's coming right now. NATHAN: Yeah, I know. HALEY: Clay? CLAY: This is really exciting stuff, Hales, but if you could just force your knees together and hang in there, we're almost done. In fact, do you want winners? HALEY: I don't think you guys understand. I'm gonna have the baby right here. NATHAN: Yeah, I don't think you understand. Mnh-mnh. Julian told us that you tricked him and Brooke and Quinn. CLAY: Oh! Hey, look, it's a wolf! You see, now, I'm the boy who cried "wolf," too, so... HALEY: Yeah, yeah, it's true. I-I did. I did trick them. But right now, it's not a trick, and we actually need to go to the hospital. NATHAN: Are you serious? CLAY: Like, right now, right now? NATHAN: Okay, uh, I -- I have to find my keys. HALEY: Just kidding! Wolf! STREET/MOUTH'S APARTMENT Millicent reports. Mouth looks at the TV. CAMERAMAN: Okay, Millie, you're live in 15 seconds. MILLICENT: Okay. CAMERAMAN: Stand by. You're live in 5, 4, 3, 2. MILLICENT(at the TV): Why did the chicken cross the wrong road? Because he couldn't read the street signs. At least, that's what our government says. The federal government has mandated that by 2018, all street signs in the United States must be written with a capital letter followed by lowercase letters. It's costing taxpayers in New York City $27.5 million, and your city will be next. Why? The Federal Highway Administration says that safety will improve by replacing the all-capital-letter signs, because drivers will be able to identify the words more quickly when they're written in both upper- and lowercase letters in a font called clearview. At least, that's what I think it's called. It's written in big, bold, capital letters in this press release, so I couldn't quite make it out. CAMERAMAN: Sorry. I'm sorry. MILLICENT(at the TV): So, let me get this straight. Schools don't have books or art or music or hot lunches, and this is where our tax dollars are going? Unemployment is up. People are jobless and homeless and hopeless, and the government is spending $110 per sign on every street sign in America to make the letters smaller so that we can read them better? Really? Really? I'm Millicent Huxtable, and how clucked up is that? RADIO STUDIO Jerry is upset. JERRY: Are you out of your mind? You were just supposed to report that the signs were being replaced. MILLICENT: It was a dumb idea. JERRY: T-that's your opinion. We don't air opinions. Our viewers do not watch the news to get "social commentary" from a -- a frickin' chicken! MILLICENT: They were using taxpayer dollars. JERRY: Well, you won't have to worry about your taxpayer dollars, because you might be out of a job by the end of the day. Phones are starting to light up. This is gonna be bad. Go home, Millie. I'll do what I can. CLUB TRIC Chase and Tommy help Chuck to touch the ball with the beater. TOMMY: Strike one! CHASE: Just keep your eye on the ball. Try it again. TOMMY: Strike two! CHASE: You're swinging a little late. CHUCK: Well, you're throwing them a little early. CHASE: Just choke up a little. All right? TOMMY: Strike three! CHUCK: Man, this game sucks! CHASE: Maybe it's my pitches. I'm pretty good, you know. TOMMY: It's not your pitches. CHASE: Dude, I was a great pitcher in little league. TOMMY: Throw one. CHASE: All right. TOMMY: It's not your pitches. CHASE: Man, you suck worse than me! RED BEDROOM RECORDS Chase, Chuck and Tommy come to ask something to Alex. CHASE: Hey. Sounds good. ALEX: You think so? I don't know. CHUCK: Cool! CHASE: Don't touch anything. Hey, can I borrow those glasses you need but you're too afraid to wear? ALEX: I-I don't need glasses. W-what glasses? CHASE: Uh, the ones in your purse that you squint through whenever you don't think anybody's looking. ALEX: You tell anyone about those, and I swear to God I will tell them...Something about you. CHASE: You can see your cream puff in a sex tape, but God forbid they know you wear glasses? Can I borrow them, please? ALEX: Not a word. CHUCK: “Breathe in the lonely light” CHASE: All right. Let's go. TOMMY: Hey. ALEX: Hey. CLUB TRIC Chase wants Chuck to put glasses. CHASE: Just put them on. CHUCK: I don't want to. CHASE: Chuck, we need to know if your eyes are okay. I promise I won't laugh. (Chuck puts glasses and Chase laughs) CHUCK: You said you wouldn't laugh! CHASE: Come on. We're just playing. Chuck! CHUCK: You said you wouldn't laugh. TOMMY: He did look funny. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke starts to paint the baby's room. Chloe is here. CHLOE: So, where's Julian? BROOKE: Oh, he's trying to finish this documentary he's been working on. It's pretty cool. I think you'd like it. Can I get you some milk to go with those cookies, or fruit to go with some milk? CHLOE: You can just ask me whatever you want, you know. BROOKE: What do you mean? CHLOE: I mean all those questions you want to ask me just go ahead and ask them. BROOKE: Okay. What's the baby's father like? CHLOE: He's handsome. He has a great smile. The truth is, I probably would've married him if he wasn't convicted on those drug charges. BROOKE: He's in jail... for drugs? CHLOE: Oh, prison, actually. Hey, maybe he knows your mom. I'm kidding. He's just a boy. He was just as scared as I was when I found out I was pregnant. He has this picture of what he wants his life to be, and this isn't in it. I have a picture, too. I don't know. This sounds terrible. But what do I know about raising a kid? BROOKE: Actually, I think putting the baby's life first is selfless. CHLOE: Should I even be in here with this paint? BROOKE: Latex paint with biocides and spray paint are actually the most harmful, so you're fine. CHLOE: Like I said, what do I know? BROOKE: What about your friends? CHLOE: Well, I used to have a lot of friends. But I can't really do the things that they like to do. BROOKE: Like what? KELLERMAN'S HOUSE Ian has organized a party in his house. Nathan and Clay come in. NATHAN: Ian said he was gonna have a few friends over. CLAY: Ah. Morals clause, good call. NALEY'S HOUSE Quinn drinks some vine for Haley. HALEY: How is it? Is it good? You want another glass? QUINN: No, Hales. I have to drive home. - HALEY: Just one more glass. Just one more. Shh, it's okay. QUINN: Haley, no. I already drank the wine for you, and I ate the exotic cheese and the Sushi. And, ugh, I feel so bloated. HALEY: Oh, well, you say that again, and I'll just punch your face. QUINN: Okay. I'm sorry. What else can I do for you? HALEY: I don't know. Ooh! Do you want to watch "psych"? QUINN: Never heard of it. Is it any good? HALEY: Mm, meh. Oh. QUINN: What? Why were you looking at me like that? HALEY: Nothing! I... nothing. I'm just...I was just thinking about how nice it is to have you here, and...how I can't believe that I almost lost you and Jamie in the same night. QUINN: But you didn't. Katie's locked away, and the driver of that car has to live with what he did. HALEY: I can't believe they haven't found him. I mean, how do you not find... QUINN: A smashed-up, dark-colored grand wagoneer. HALEY: Yeah. QUINN: I know. Julian told us. HALEY: Well, it's like you said. Whoever it is, they have to live with what they did. CLUB TRIC Alex joins Chase in the bar. CHASE: Step away from the bar. ALEX: Why? CHASE: Because you do two things when you're feeling vulnerable. ALEX: How do you know? CHASE: Because I know you, Alex. You do shts, and you do boys. And there's the second one. New boyfriend? ALEX: I don't know. Just somebody I met. CHASE: Change is a whisper, Alex. It's a season. It's slow and quiet, and it's not very dramatic. But it's up to you. This one's on me. Your song is good. (Millicent come in) MILLICENT: What a day. Root beer? ALEX: Chase bought it for me. MILLICENT: Well, don't you have any Tequila shts you need me to do for you? MOUTH: My girl went on a rant. MILLICENT: Your girl's about to be fired. MOUTH: What? Why? ALEX: Yeah, what? Why? MILLICENT: Because Jerry did not love it, and because chickens aren't supposed to give opinion. MOUTH: It was social commentary. MILLICENT: What was? It was so dumb. ALEX: What was dumb? MOUTH: Millie went live and called stupid stupid. MILLICENT: In a chicken suit. ALEX: Nice. MILLICENT: Jerry said he was getting complaints. I'm doomed. (A man approaches girls) MAN: Uh, excuse me, ladies. I just need to know if you're, um... ALEX: Yeah, hi. Alex Dupré. MAN: No, actually...I actually meant are you the angry chicken reporter? MILLICENT: That's me. MAN: I knew it. I...that was awesome, by the way. Just, uh, c-can I have your autograph? MILLICENT: Sure. KELLERMAN'S HOUSE Nathan and Clay wants Ian to sign up his contract.

BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke paints the baby's room. BROOKE: Well, since we don't know the sex, I like yellow. Julian likes green. CHLOE: Why don't you just paint the room black? BROOKE: Black? It would be like a cave. CHLOE: I know. It'd be awesome. BROOKE: I had a friend named Peyton who had a black room when she was your age. She was adopted, too. You know, you could really help me with this if you would just tell us the sex. CHLOE: I don't know it, and I really don't want to know it. BROOKE: Um, I'm sorry. I didn't even think... CHLOE: It's okay. I'm just really tired. I'm gonna go. BROOKE: Okay. Can I drive you somewhere, or... CHLOE: Oh, no, I...I have my motorcycle. BROOKE: You ride a motorcycle? CHLOE: No. I have a Prius. But the look on your face is priceless. I'm fine, I promise. Thanks for letting me hang out today. No matter what color you paint it, it's gonna be a really nice room.

Call your parents.. CHLOE: No. No. No, thanks. I'll... I'll be fine. BROOKE: Okay. Well, we just want you to know we're here. And we're gonna be here. We're not going anywhere. CHLOE: Okay. BROOKE: Okay. CHLOE: Maybe you guys can come check up on me a little later. JULIAN: Yeah. BROOKE: Of course. Whenever you need us. You're gonna do great. JULIAN: Okay. BROOKE: All right. See you. Jamie joins Quinn and Clay in a waiting room. QUINN: Hey. CLAY: Yo. Check it out, dude. I got us all kinds of stuff. We have DVDs, snacks. JAMIE: Comic books. CLAY: Graphic novels. QUINN: Oh, my gosh, UNO. I'm the UNO king. CLAY: Okay, that's a game of luck. There is just zero skill to it whatsoever. QUINN: Said not the king. CLAY: That sentence had zero sense to it. QUINN: Anyway, what do you want to do first, Jame? JAMIE: I'm thinking I want to make a book for Lydia...With pictures and stories and stuff. QUINN: Like a scrapbook? JAMIE: Yeah, but more like a book that she can read someday and know all about stuff that I didn't... stuff about mom, you guys, and all our friends. CLAY: Like, for example, how Auntie Quinn is the master of a game of chance. QUINN: Or how Clay is jealous about it. I think it's a great idea, Jamie. (Brooke and Julian meets them) QUINN: Hey, you guys. I was just about to call. Hales just checked in. JULIAN: Well, actually... BROOKE: We heard. It's so exciting. Who needs snacks? Clay: Mm. I think we're good. We have candy, gummy stuff, candy cigars. We've also apparently mastered the game of UNO. QUINN: Really? CLAY: Letting it go. Julian and Brooke insulate. JULIAN: What was that all about? BROOKE: I just don't want to steal Haley's thunder today. Especially for Jamie. If we have news first, then we can tell them, okay? JULIAN: That's very sweet of you, baby. But are we really getting snacks? Because I was kind of excited about that part, too. BROOKE: Yes, we will get you snacks. Are you nervous? JULIAN: A little. Are you? BROOKE: No. More like completely panicked. JULIAN: Oh. Haley is nervous and asks Nathan to tell a story. NATHAN: How you doing, baby? HALEY: I'm a little panicked. Can you tell me a story? NATHAN: Uh, story. Got it. What kind of story? HALEY: Just a story. Any story. NATHAN: All right, all right. Um...I-I-I-I got nothing. HALEY: Oh! In the history of the world, any story that's ever been told. NATHAN: Okay, I'm sorry. All I can think of is the Three Little Pigs. I don't know why the Three Little Pigs. I have no idea. But it's... HALEY: A memory, then. Just something to distract me, please. NATHAN: Okay, okay. How about this? How about this? Did I ever tell you about the high-school clown... HALEY: Don't say "clown." NATHAN: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Jerk. The high-school jerk who fell for the beautiful, sarcastic girl who hated clowns? HALEY: I like that story. Tell me that story. NATHAN: Okay. Okay. Um, she was tutoring him. But they both knew it was something more, and so one day, when he had screwed up yet again... FLASHBACK, HALEY'S HOUSE Nathan launches stones to the window. Haley arrives. HALEY: You trying to wake up my parents? That's their room. NATHAN: Wait. Haley. Look, I need to apologize, okay? HALEY: You should buy them in bulk if you're gonna hand apologies out that often. NATHAN: Look, will you just... I don't know how to do this, all right? I'm... I'm not like you. HALEY: What does that mean? NATHAN: All right, I screw up a lot. All right? And being around you, I just don't want to be that guy anymore. HALEY: Who do you want to be, Nathan? NATHAN: I want to be somebody who's good enough to be seen with you. HALEY: You should have thought of that last night. You know, I keep putting myself out there. And you keep blwing it. And it's probably a good thing because at this point there's nothing that you can say or do that's gonna surprise me. (He kisses her) HALEY: Except that. You shouldn't have done that, Nathan. NATHAN: But I wanted to. HALEY: Yeah. HOSPITAL Nathan finishes the story. NATHAN: And they fell in love. And they had a son. And soon... HALEY: They'll have a daughter. NATHAN: Mm-hmm. And they'll all live happily ever after. I promise. ONE TREE HILL – OPEN CREDITS HOSPITAL Jamie looks at babies. Then, he waits to his family. JAMIE(voice-over): 14,709. That's how many babies are born in an hour. That's 245 new lives every minute of every day. By the way, since I've been standing here, another hundred babies were born. But none of them were my mom's. BROOKE: Hey, buddy. What are you doing? JAMIE: Making a learner's manual for Lydia. Clay says you can't tell the players without a program. BROOKE: That's cool. Am I in it? JAMIE: Yep. I just need a little information. BROOKE: Okay. Ask me anything. JAMIE: Okay. When was the first time you met my mom? BROOKE: Isn't there anything else you'd like to know? JAMIE: It's kind of important. BROOKE: Well... It's kind of a funny story. FLASHBACK, OUTSIDE Haley helps Brooke to walk. BROOKE: So, we should totally hang out more often. What is your name, anyway? HALEY: Haley. BROOKE: Oh, no. See, I don't like that name. Let's call you Brooke. HOSPITAL Jamie doesn't understand the story. JAMIE: I don't get it. How come you were acting so weird? Were you sick? BROOKE: Yes. Kind of sick. Yes. Look who it is...Clay and Quinn. What's up, guys? (Clay and Quinn come with things) CLAY: Hey-o. Did you guys know that it's impossible to eat six crackers in a minute? BROOKE: Random, but perfectly timed. JAMIE: That doesn't sound impossible. QUINN: That's what I said, but we're gonna do it. You in? JAMIE: Okay. Aunt Brooke, can you time us? BROOKE: Yeah. CLAY: All right, team. Six crackers, one minute. BROOKE: Ready? Set? Go. JAMIE: Oh, my gosh. This is hard. BROOKE: 30 seconds. QUINN(Muffled): I can't breathe. CLAY(Muffled): It's not so easy, is it? JAMIE: My mouth is all pasty. BROOKE: Come on. 20 seconds. Keep going. And...Time. CLAY: Mm. I was so close. QUINN: I wasn't close at all. JAMIE(Muffled): I think I'm gonna be sick. Mm-hmm. We should make Julian try this. CLAY: Where is Julian? Julian! Julian looks at babies. FLASHBACK, BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke goes home and Julian is here. BROOKE: They're beautiful. JULIAN: So are you. How you doing? BROOKE: Not so good. JULIAN: Yeah, I know. BROOKE: I don't think you do. JULIAN: No, I suppose I don't. But I want you to know something. I know that I've talked about slowing down and taking our time, but I want you to know that whenever we do get pregnant, that's gonna be a great day. And I'll be more than okay with it. BROOKE: We're not gonna have that day. JULIAN: Baby, we will. BROOKE: No, we won't. They didn't just tell me that...That I wasn't pregnant. They said I'm never gonna be. I can't. JULIAN: You can't have children? They told you that. BROOKE: I'm sorry. JULIAN: Brooke...Shh. Hey, shh, baby. It's okay. BROOKE: It's not. JULIAN: It's going to be. I love you so much. BROOKE: But I want to have babies with you. I want to have a family. JULIAN: Then we'll get a second opinion. And a third, okay? We'll find the best doctors out there. BROOKE: But what if... JULIAN: Hey, shh, shh. I love you. That's all that matters. I love you. BROOKE: I love you, too. HOSPITAL Brooke joins Julian. BROOKE: Hey. JULIAN: I love you. You know that? And you're gonna be an amazing mom...Tonight. BROOKE: I can barely breathe when you say that. JULIAN: It's okay, baby. I'm here... For all of it. BROOKE: Mm. JAMIE(voice-over): I think it's cool how people celebrate the day you're born. Like, for the rest of your life, they have cake and presents, and they celebrate that you're here. There's something really nice about that... Even when your Aunt Quinn stuffs your face in the cake. FLASHBACK, NALEY'S HOUSE Quinn was eating a piece of the cake. JAMIE: Aunt Quinn, you ate my cake before I made a wish. QUINN: Nah. See... I don't think this is your real cake. If you look really, really close, you can tell, because if it was, I wouldn't be able to do this! JAMIE: Aah! You're so dad. HOSPITAL Quinn takes a picture of her nephew. JAMIE: Hey, remember when you stuffed my face in my birthday cake? And then you, me, and mom had that cake fight? That was awesome. QUINN: It was, huh? Oh! Yes, it was. You know, pretty soon you're gonna have "remember whens" with your little sister. Are you excited to meet her? JAMIE: Yeah. But right now I'm kind of half-excited, half-worried. QUINN: Well, there's no reason to worry. Your mom's gonna be home in no time. And, you know, the best part about having a little sister is if you do worry and you do struggle, she's always there for you just like your mom's always been there for me. FLASHBACK, NALEY'S HOUSE Quinn is ready to open her gallery of picture. She gives a present at her sister. QUINN: Hey. HALEY: Wow. Talk about a work of art. You look great. QUINN: Thanks. HALEY: So, you excited for tonight? How do you feel? QUINN: You know, if there's a feeling of being half totally excited and half completely ready to panic, then that's how I feel. HALEY: Oh, don't worry. It's gonna be good. You're kind of great at the picture-taking thing, you know. QUINN: Thanks. Well, I'm glad you think so. I wanted you to give this to you. HALEY: Oh. What is this? QUINN: My way of saying "thank you" for being there for me this year. I couldn't have made it through without my little sis. (It's a picture of her and her mother) HALEY: I love it. I really do. QUINN: I just want tonight to go well, you know? For mom. HALEY: Yeah. For mom. HOSPITAL Nathan takes a coffee and sees a high-school pupil waiting. FLASHBACK, HOSPITAL Nathan is at the hospital after he was doing a overdose. DAN: Easy, son. You're okay. Can you hear me? NATHAN: Yeah. DAN: You collapsed during the game. DOCTOR: Nathan? How you feeling? NATHAN: I have to piss. DOCTOR: You were severely dehydrated. We have you in these ice packs because your body temperature was very high. Now, I need to ask you some questions about the supplements you're taking. Benzedrine? Methedrine? Okay. What about speed, cocaine, ecstasy? DAN: Hey, doc. He's an athlete, not a junkie. DOCTOR: He's also a kid. DAN: True. But he's my kid. So, how about you play a little more doctor and a little less detective? DOCTOR: Mr. Scott, could I speak with you? DAN: Listen to me, son. You're gonna be fine. Okay? You've been hitting it a little hard lately. We'll pull back a notch or two. You'll be as good as new. Hell, the scouts won't even remember this come the post-season. FLASHBACK, NALEY'S HOUSE Haley worries about Nathan. HALEY(at phone): Hey, it's me. Uh...I guess I'm just worried about you. I really hate the way we ended things. NATHAN: So do I. Nobody answered the door. HALEY: They're gone for the weekend. How are you? NATHAN: Not so good. Tonight... I just need to... HALEY: Yeah. NATHAN: I've made a lot of mistakes, Haley. Sometimes because of my dad. Sometimes by choice. I just can't do it anymore. HALEY: It's okay. NATHAN: No. When I fell to the floor tonight...I was so scared. I was so terrified. Then I saw you. And I promised myself that if I could just get up, I would walk straight over to you, and I would tell you how much I need you...How much I want you. Nothing else matters. Haley... HOSPITAL Brooke talks a little with Chloe. CHLOE: Brooke, I need to tell you something. I never told my parents. BROOKE: Really? CHLOE: My ex-boyfriend's sister drove me here. BROOKE: How did you hide it from them? CHLOE: Well, I stayed in school for the summer session, and then I took a semester overseas. I just knew it was something that my mom would hold against me for the rest of my life. You know how moms are. BROOKE: I know how my mom is. FLASHBACK, CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke enters in the store. Victoria is ready to go away. BROOKE: You going somewhere? VICTORIA: Ah. Back to New York. The designs are excellent. The new line should sab the company. There's nothing left for me to do here. There are a few things that I need to leave you with. We need to call our publicist and arrange a series of interviews announcing your return to the company. You need to speak with the people at Red and organize some sort of charitable contribution, and you need to fly to Los Angeles and tell that boy that you love him. BROOKE: What? VICTORIA: When I was young, there was a boy who loved me. And I loved him back. But he wasn't from my circle of friends, and he was different than what my parents expected, so I let him go. And not a day has gone by that I don't regret it. BROOKE: Why haven't you ever told me this? VICTORIA: Because I've been a terrible mother. I have a daughter who is strong and bright, kindhearted, so beautiful, and I've nearly broken her with my inability to open my heart. But I haven't broken her. She's just as strong and beautiful and kindhearted as ever. Because if this boy Julian loves you and you love him, that's all that matters. That is the most important thing, and the clothes can wait. This is for you. BROOKE: What is it? VICTORIA: It's the company. It's all yours 100%. BROOKE: But why? VICTORIA: I'd rather have my daughter than a company. BROOKE: But you loved this company. VICTORIA: Yeah. And I was wrong. I should have loved you more and the company less. I just didn't know how. HOSPITAL Brooke is always talking with Chloe. BROOKE: I know my mom loves me. But we were distant for a long time when I was young, and that was really hard. I never felt like I knew her. I promise you, I'm gonna know this child, and they'll know me...No matter what. JAMIE(voice-over): There was a woman in Texas, who gave birth to eight babies all at once. Well, actually, she gave birth to two, and then a couple weeks later, she had six more. I don't really know how that works, but it's not something you forget once you hear about it. I just want my mom to have one... And for both of them to be okay. Nathan is in the church. Jamie joins him. JAMIE: Hey, dad. Everything okay? NATHAN: Yeah. You know, when your mom got hurt before you were born, I sat here. I prayed that she'd be okay. And you, too. JAMIE: Did you cry? NATHAN: Yeah. I cried. FLASHBACK, HOSPITAL Nathan prays in the church to Haley and the baby are okay. NATHAN: I know I did a horrible thing, okay? But I deserve to be punished for that, not Haley. She's a good person. She'd be a great mother if... Look, I know it must suck how people are always asking for things and never giving anything back. And I know that Keith saved me at the bridge, but Haley saved me long before the accident. There has to be a miracle left for her. Please. Please. Don't take her from me. Don't take our child from her. Haley is waking up. HALEY: Hi. NATHAN: Hi. HOSPITAL Julian looks at babies. An other father comes in. ERIC: Crazy, isn't it? Having a kid. JULIAN: Yeah. ERIC: I got to tell you, I'm a little freaked out right now. I don't think I'm ready for all...This. JULIAN: That's why they invented mothers. ERIC: You think our parents felt like this? That they just wanted us to have it better than them? To be better than them? Not to be them? JULIAN: I think if they did, then they were ready to be parents. And if you do, then you are, too. ERIC: "Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of us." Quinn looks at the former Clay's bedroom. FLASHBACK, HOSPITAL Quinn makes a speech for Clay who is in the coma. QUINN: Hey, handsome. My whole family was here. It's usually best to be in a coma for that, so nice work. I also need you to tell you that it's gonna take longer to get into Nathan's basketball games next year because my right boob is gonna set off the metal detector. Apparently I still have the bllet in me, so you can cross that off your fantasy-girl wish list. So just between us, everybody's putting on a really brave face, but I think they're all really scared... Because they can't imagine losing you. But that's not gonna happen, is it? My man is too strong for that. So, why don't you surprise us all and open those beautiful blue eyes and take my breath away...Like you know you do. Just open those eyes that see me like no eyes ever have. And I'll be right here waiting. HOSPITAL Clay joins Quinn. CLAY: Hey. Nate says they're getting close. You okay? QUINN: Yeah. I'm just feeling thankful. For you and Haley and my soon-to-be niece. It's exciting. CLAY: Yeah. You know, we'll have kids of our own someday. QUINN: Well, they will have your big, bushy eyebrows. CLAY: Oh. And your adept card-game abilities. QUINN: You know, you're not allowed to say we'll have a family someday unless you mean it. CLAY: Of course I mean it. I love you, you goof. QUINN: Well, that's good...Because I love you, too. Chloe is going to have her baby. CHLOE: It's really good that you have Julian. You guys seem really happy together. BROOKE: We are. He's amazing. CHLOE: Yeah. I-it's be good that there's two of you. I just couldn't do it alone, you know? Raise a child. BROOKE: I know. CHLOE: Oh! Contraction. BROOKE: Okay. Just breathe. You're doing great, Chloe. CHLOE: No, I need drugs. BROOKE: You can do this. Come on. Just breathe. Okay. CHLOE: Okay. BROOKE: Okay. That's it. CHLOE: Okay. BROOKE: You're doing great. CHLOE: You're gonna be a good mom, Brooke. I just couldn't do it alone. BROOKE: I know. It's okay. JAMIE(voice-over): I guess out of everyone who's ever been born probably the most famous birth ever is Jesus. But people make a big deal out of Pandas, too. Brooke and Julian are in the church. BROOKE: We need a name. Our baby's gonna be born without a name. JULIAN: Oops. Okay, calm down. It's okay. My dad once told me about this baseball player named U.L. Washington, and the U.L. stood for "un listed." BROOKE: We are not naming our baby "un listed." JULIAN: Okay. I have a name. Clear your head. You ready? BROOKE: Uh-huh. JULIAN: If it's a girl, Brooke. And if it's a boy...Brooke. BROOKE: If it's a boy, Julian. And if it's a girl...Julian. JULIAN: No. You can't name a girl "Julian." BROOKE: Why not? We can name our baby whatever we want. JULIAN: Mm. BROOKE: Mm. Jamie talks with Clay and Quinn. JAMIE: Mom's middle name is Bob? QUINN: Mm-hmm. CLAY: Wait. Haley's middle name is Bob? QUINN: Yeah. CLAY: How does that happen? QUINN: You know my dad's name was James James, right? CLAY: You make a good point. But Bob? Is that short for Robert? QUINN: No. It's just Bob. JAMIE: How come? QUINN: Well, before grandma and grandpa ever had kids, they had a tabby cat. And they loved that cat and took him everywhere. And his name was... JAMIE: Bob? CLAY: I was gonna guess Bob, too. QUINN: Ah. Then you're both right. Bob the cat. Oh. He was their pride and joy. But he was stubborn and tough, and he didn't really like to be held. Anyway, when Haley was born, she kept squirming and squirming, and the doctors handed her to grandma. And grandma was like, "she keeps fighting me. She's tough and stubborn, just like Bob." And so they named her Haley Bob. JAMIE: Mom was named after a cat. QUINN: After a beautiful, tough, old tabby cat. JAMIE: That's awesome. But mom's not that tough. CLAY: Ooh. Gonna have to disagree with you on that one, buddy. QUINN: Yeah. Your mom's really tough. Do you know her and Aunt Taylor used to totally go at it? JAMIE: Really? Like how? FLASHBACK, NALEY'S APARTMENT Haley and Taylor fight. HALEY: It's not funny, Taylor. TAYLOR: Ow! Let go! HOSPITAL JAMIE: Whoa. QUINN: Yeah. That's not all. Remember when Chuck was bullying you? FLASHBACK, JAMIE'S SCHOOL Haley wants to talk with Chuck's mother. HALEY: Excuse me. Can I talk to you for a second? I'm Haley Scott. I'm Jamie's mom. CHUCK'S MOTHER: Uh-huh. HALEY: Jamie came home from school upset the other day. I guess your son was teasing him. CHUCK'S MOTHER: Jamie? Is he the one with the cape? Wow. 5 is a little old for a cape, don't you think? Maybe you should do him a favor, take it away from him, and then he won't get teased anymore, about the cape, anyway. HALEY: Listen, honey, if your little brat doesn't stop picking on my son, not only will I give Jamie permission to kick his ass, but I'll be kicking your ass right alongside of him. Got that, bitch? CHUCK'S MOTHER: I'd like to see you try, little girl. Aah! HOSPITAL JAMIE: Man. Mom's kind of crazy. QUINN: Yeah. I haven't even told you about the slapping. JAMIE: There's slapping? CLAY: Oh, there's slapping. (Brooke joins them) QUINN: Hey, Brooke. Name a few people that Haley's slapped. Jamie wants to warn Lydia. BROOKE: Oh. Well, there's Rachel... FLASHBACK, PARTY Haley slaps Rachel. HOSPITAL BROOKE: Renee... FLASHBACK, OUTSIDE Haley slaps Renee. HOSPITAL BROOKE: Ooh. And Nanny Carrie. FLASHBACK, NALEY'S HOUSE Haley throws Carrie outside. HALEY: You get the hell out of my house right now! HOSPITAL JAMIE: Yeah. And in mom's defense, nanny Carrie had that coming. BROOKE: Oh, yeah. JAMIE: Now that I think about it, you don't want to mess with mom. Hey, Clay, did mom ever att*ck you? CLAY: Yeah. But it was with her words. FLASHBACK, CLAY'S HOUSE Haley disputes Clay. HALEY: You know full well this lying whore didn't sleep with Nathan, and you want to pay her $200,000? CLAY: Whoa. I don't want to. I simply suggested that it was an option. HALEY: It's not an option, Clay. And while we're suggesting things, let me suggest that you are a huge reason why this is happening right now. CLAY: Okay. HALEY: You love it, the parties, the women. And you love having Nathan alongside you more than anything else. CLAY: That's not fair. HALEY: No? The picture? The one of that woman draped all over my husband. What party was that at, Clay? Who threw that party? I'm not saying you don't love him because I know you do. But you love having him at your side more than anything else. You could have protected him from this. CLAY: How, Haley? He's a grown man. HALEY: So are you. Start acting like it. HOSPITAL Clay is upset yet. CLAY: Ooh. Yeah, you may, you ought to tell Lydia just to never suggest optional compromises. You should write that down. Chloe just haves her baby. DOCTOR: That's it, Chloe. You're doing great. Now I need you to push, okay? Here we go. And push. Push, Chloe. Come on. Push. That's it. You're doing great, Chloe. Five counts. Come on. 1...2...3...4...5. Good job, Chloe. You're doing great, and again. Push, Chloe, push. Come on. Brooke and Julian look from the observatory. The other father enters the part. ERIC: Hey, it's you. JULIAN: Oh. Hey. Brooke, this is... ERIC: Eric. Hi. BROOKE: Hi. JULIAN: What are you doing here? ERIC: I was about to ask you the same thing. That's my girlfriend, Chloe. I'm about to be a father. JAMIE(voice-over): I think people love babies because they see stuff like hopes and dreams in their eyes. They see the future, and they see goodness and the chance they have to be better than us. So I think babies are pretty cool. Oh, and baby rabbits are even cooler...Although I'm kind of glad Chester is a boy and never had babies 'cause I'm not sure I'd be able to give them up. I'd be too worried that they'd be okay and that someone would love them as much as I would. Brooke and Julian comes to see Chloe in her bedroom. Brooke is sad and Julian tries to comfort her. JULIAN: She just changed her mind, Brooke. She didn't want to do it alone, and then she wasn't alone. She held her in her arms, and she just couldn't go through with it. BROOKE: It was a girl? JULIAN: Yeah. Nathan announces the news at the family. NATHAN: It's a girl. QUINN: Yay! JAMIE: Yes! NATHAN: Whoo! Oh. What do you say, buddy? JAMIE: Is mom all right? And the baby? NATHAN: Yeah, yeah. Everyone's fine. JAMIE: When can we see her? NATHAN: Well... (Brooke and Julian joins them) NATHAN: Brooke. You okay? BROOKE: Yeah. I'm just so happy for you guys. Brooke joins Haley in her bedroom. BROOKE: Hi. HALEY: Hi. Lydia, I want you to meet someone you're gonna love so much. This is your Aunt Brooke. Brooke, this is Lydia Bob Scott. You want to hold her? BROOKE: Yeah. Oh. HALEY(voice-over): 353,015. That's how many babies were born today. And this one is mine. Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of us.

PREVIOUSLY ON “ONE TREE HILL” IAN: What the hell? I knew you guys couldn't be complete dorks. CLAY: Complete dorks and officially your agents. NATHAN: You got a bathroom in this place? IAN: There's one in the back of the house passed the kitchen. BROOKE: Julian! CHLOE: I want two people who are gonna love this baby, and that's the reason why I want you guys to be the parents. BROOKE: Well, since we don't know the sex, I like yellow. Julian likes green. JULIAN: She just changed her mind, Brooke. She held her in her arms, and she just couldn't go through with it. HALEY: Quinn? It's time. NATHAN: It's a girl. QUINN: Yay! HALEY: This is Lydia Bob Scott. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley puts Lydia in her crib. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke arranges the businesses of the baby. KELLERMAN'S HOUSE Nathan, Julian and Clay looks at car which is the garage. NATHAN: Was that the car from the bridge that night? FLASHBACK, GABEL BRIDGE JULIAN: No, stop! Stop! Stop! BROOKE: Julian! JULIAN: No, Brooke! CLAY'S CAR Julian is with Clay. JULIAN: What the hell is wrong with people? How do you just drive away from an accident like that? CLAY: Nate said he found an empty bottle of Phidian's in the front seat. JULIAN: Bourbon? No wonder his son's a douche bag. This guy is an educator, a teacher who talks about ethics in business every day, and he just gets drunk, nearly kills Jamie and my wife, and just drives away. Ugh! Brooke nearly drowned that night, and he just leaves her there and gets away with it. CLAY: Not for long. Hey, by the way, I'm sorry about the baby and the adoption. How's Brooke doing? JULIAN: She's devastated. You know, she's trying, but she's a mess. CLAY: Well, for what it's worth, she didn't die on that bridge. You know, she's alive. You two have each other. And take it from me that's a hell of a lot to have. Kellerman's class is about to start. KELLERMAN'S CLASS The class is starting. August sees Jamie in a seat. AUGUST: Good morning. Take your seats. Stop talking, and let's begin. Well, it seems my class gets younger every day. You must have done exceedingly well on your advanced placement exams. What's your name, son? JAMIE: Jamie Scott. AUGUST: Jamie Scott. Of course. And your father is... JAMIE: Nathan Scott. He's sitting right there. AUGUST: Mr. Scott. Is it because you couldn't afford a sitter, or did you bring your son to match wits with me, like your so-called business partner, who, frankly, looked to be about the same age? NATHAN: Nothing like that. He just wanted to see you again. AUGUST; But I don't believe we've met. NATHAN: You have, briefly. We ran into each other the night of the big storm. Well, actually, you ran into Jamie. You were in your Wagoneer. AUGUST: You're sure it was the night of the storm? NATHAN: Absolutely. You were in your Wagoneer, and you were with your friend, Mr. Phidian. And you were in a hurry, so we really didn't get a chance to talk. AUGUST: Well, we should do that perhaps after class in my office. NATHAN: We know where to find you. Come on, Jamie. We're holding up class. (Nathan and Jamie leave) AUGUST: You know... You won't get another today. Go enjoy it. Class dismissed. STUDENTS: Whoo! ONE TREE HILL – OPEN CREDITS RED BEDRROM RECORDS Quinn sees a microphone and starts to sing “Eye of the tiger”. QUINN: “It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight risin' up to the challenge of our rivals and the last-known survivor stalks his prey in the night and he's watching us all in the ey-y-e” (She sees Alex) QUINN: Of the tiger. Hey. CLUB TRIC Millie asks to Mouth to find a new topic for the new show. MOUTH: Drugs -- more specifically, drug stores. MILLICENT: I do a story on drug stores? What's the angle? MOUTH: The angle is how drug stores are the new coffeehouses. Remember when there was a new coffee shop on every block? Well, now it's drug stores. They're everywhere. It's like caffeine used to be the drug of choice, but now people are skipping the coffee and going right for the actual drugs. MILLICENT: They could wash it down with the coffee. What else you got? MOUTH: How 'bout the airlines? We keep bailing them out with more money, and they keep sucking. You could do an expose on the worst airline on the planet. They have those planes that don't ever leave the airport. MILLICENT: I should probably keep it more general than that. MOUTH: Okay, so talk about how the airlines charge for everything now snacks, bags, that ratty scrap of disease they call a blanket. MILLICENT: Not bad. MOUTH: And they lie. They're such liars. They know when your flight's gonna be three hours late, but instead of telling you, they say your flight's on time. Then they change the status every 20 minutes to give you 9 times' worth of false hope, as if that somehow makes it not as bad. Oh, how 'bout when they tell you to turn off your phone for safety reasons? If the safety of the plane could be affected by cellphones, do you really think they'd let you bring them on board? MILLICENT: I never thought of that. MOUTH: In this day and age, considering all their restrictions, we're really gonna trust first-time-flyer Carl back in 14C to turn off his cellphone so we can all land safely? I mean, considering he boarded with the wrong group, reeks of cologne, and laughs out loud at his own jokes, that's the guy we're gonna trust to do the right thing? MILLICENT: You're kind of angry, Marvin McFadden. MOUTH: About flying? Yeah, a little. Some idiot tries to light a bmb with his stinking sweaty feet, and now I got to take my shoes off to walk through the foot rot of a million travelers every time I fly. They should have sentenced that guy to stand near the security check at every major airport, and we should get unlimited kicks. MILLICENT: My baby is cranky. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley tries to deaden Lydia. Jamie comes in. HALEY: Who's a fussy baby? Who's a fussy baby? No, there's no reason to fuss. No, there's no reason to fuss, baby. Oh. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. JAMIE: Mom, Chester's a little upset with you. HALEY: Oh, boy, a baby, and a bunny. Well, the cute factor's high. Why is Chester upset? JAMIE: Well, I kind of told him that Lydia's middle name was Bob after of grandma's cat, and he was a little hurt by it. HALEY: Oh. Gee, I'm sorry. Well, he does have a good point. Lydia Chester Scott -- I don't know. It doesn't quite have the right ring to it, does it? Does it? JAMIE: I guess. But if I ever have a kid...Their middle name's gonna be Chester. HALEY: I suppose that's fair. So, what do you got going on today, kiddo? JAMIE: Not much. Dad's gonna take me to the Rivercourt every day this week as a reward. HALEY: A reward for what? JAMIE: For going to his class and messing with his teacher. HALEY: August Kellerman? JAMIE: Yeah, I think that's him. He has the bulldog, right? HALEY: Yeah, Dogust. JAMIE: I wonder if his son's middle name is Dogust. She's pretty awesome, mom. HALEY: Yeah. I think so, too. RED BEDROOM RECORDS Alex imitates Quinn. ALEX: “It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight rising up to the challenge of our rivals” QUINN: Very funny. By the way, it's "thrill," not "cream." ALEX: Oh, I thought it was "cream." QUINN: Why would it be "cream of the fight"? ALEX: Good point. "Thrill" is better. QUINN: What are you doing here, anyway? ALEX: I was just gonna ask you the same thing. QUINN: Well, Haley asked me to help out for a couple of weeks since Lydia was born, which happens to be very good news for you. ALEX: Why? Because I get free studio time? QUINN: No. How many songs do you have? ALEX: Uh, I don't know. A bunch. QUINN: Good. How would you like to open for Olin & The Moon? ALEX: Oh, my God! Are you kidding me?! Yes, absolutely! QUINN: Perfect. It'll be this weekend. ALEX: This weekend? QUINN: Yeah. ALEX: I'm opening? QUINN: Mm-hmm. ALEX: For Olin & The... who? QUINN: The moon, yes. I hope. ALEX: Wait. No, no, no, no, no. Why you hope so? QUINN: Well, I mean, I have you. I just have to get Olin & The Moon. ALEX: Damn it. QUINN: No. No "damn it." Besides... I know something you don't. KELLERMAN'S OFFICE Nathan has a conversation with August. AUGUST: Whatever you think you know, you've made a mistake. NATHAN: I saw the car in your garage. AUGUST: First of all, my home and my vehicle are my own business. Beyond that, I had an accident. So what? So what? NATHAN: So you nearly klled my son and a good friend. AUGUST: You're wrong. I swerved to miss some deer, and I ht a light pole. NATHAN: You ht a car, Kellerman, on the Gabel Bridge, and then you drove away and left two people drowning in the river when the levee broke. AUGUST: I didn't... NATHAN: You didn't what? You didn't do it, or you don't remember doing it, considering the empty bottle of bourbon I found underneath your front seat? AUGUST: You're making a mistake. NATHAN: Okay. Okay. So, you had an accident the night of the big storm, you smashed the front of your late-model maroon Grand Wagoneer, and then you drove away without anybody seeing. Meanwhile, a different late-model maroon Grand Wagoneer crashed into my son's car on the same night at around the same time, and then also drove away. And the eyewitness is mistaken. AUGUST: I have nothing else to say to you. NATHAN: Well, I have something to say to you. My son was trapped inside that car. He was scared, and he was alone, and you left him there. His godmother nearly died that night in front of his eyes. And you could have helped them, but instead, you slipped into the shadows like a coward. Well, I'm about to shine a light into those shadows because I know what you did, and you know what you did. And this is going to be made right by you or by me. You think about that. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke is sad for she couldn't have the baby. JULIAN: Brooke, it's okay. BROOKE: I know. JULIAN: I don't want you to worry about this stuff. I'm gonna paint the wall, and we're gonna send these things back, and we're gonna be just fine. BROOKE: I know. I'm all right. I can do it. JULIAN: Hey. It's gonna be okay. NALEY'S HOUSE Quinn sings a song for Lydia. QUINN: “Mahna mahna, doo doo-doo doo-doo mahna mahna, doo doo-doo-doo mahna mahna, doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo Dee Dee-Dee-Dee Dee-Dee-Dee mahna-mah, mahna mah ma mahna mahna mahna mah mahna mah. » (Haley comes in) QUINN: Hey! HALEY: Okay. Let's take the baby from insane Aunt Quinn. QUINN: Oh, she likes her Aunt Quinn. HALEY: Oh. Come here. Come here, baby. QUINN: Besides, insane Aunt Quinn just booked Olin & The Moon to play Tric this weekend. HALEY: Oh. Get out of here. QUINN: Yeah. HALEY: No, let's get out of here. She needs to sleep. QUINN: Yeah. Yeah. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke and Julian are ready to paint the room. Phone rings. JULIAN: You want it? BROOKE: Depends. Who is it? JULIAN: It's... Clothes Over Bros. BROOKE: Hello? CLUB TRIC Alex joins Chase in the Tric. ALEX: Hello. CHASE: Hey, is that world-famous actress Alex Dupré or world-famous singer Alex Dupré? ALEX: Not world-famous yet, but someday. So, check it out. CHASE: Well, well. How much more handsome do I look? ALEX: Same, which is very. Just thought you might want to see the baby steps. CHASE: Very badass. How we doing on the booze and boys front? ALEX: Well, I don't know how you're doing with booze and boys, considering you gave my job to mouth after he tied a cherry stem with his tongue. But I'm doing quite well, actually. CHASE: You are. You're doing great. I'm proud of you for it. ALEX: Baby steps. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley plays with Lydia. COFFEE BAR Victoria joins Brooke in the coffee. VICTORIA: Hi, honey. BROOKE: Hi. VICTORIA: So, how are you? BROOKE: Clothes Over Bros offered me a job. VICTORIA: Well, it's about time. Let me guess -- the line doesn't work without the talented girl who spins the straw into gold. BROOKE: I suppose. VICTORIA: Vice President? BROOKE: How'd you know? VICTORIA: It's what I would have done. Then they get your taste and your talent, and the higher-ups don't get their egos bruised. How's the money? BROOKE: It's good. Maybe it's better than good. I get all influence creatively, and they still own my apartment in New York. VICTORIA: You'd come back to New York, full time? How does Julian feel about New York? BROOKE: He wants to go. We both do. VICTORIA: I'm sorry about the adoption. BROOKE: Me too. VICTORIA: But if the money is better than good, you'd be crazy not to take it. BROOKE: Do you think so? VICTORIA: It's New York. It's lucrative. It's what you love to do. And it's your baby. RIVERCOURT Nathan and Jamie come to play basketball. JAMIE: So, dad, today, I thought we could play a game with Lydia. NATHAN: Yeah. Then, maybe after, we can work on your left hand. JAMIE: Hey, where'd the baskets go? NATHAN: "Future home of: The River View Condominiums." JAMIE: What does that mean for the Rivercourt? NATHAN: There won't be a Rivercourt. (Nathan calls Mouth) NATHAN(at phone): Hey, Mouth, do you know about the Rivercourt? Yeah, there's a sign up here that says they're turning it into condos something called the River View Condominiums. Yeah. Hey, uh...I'm gonna have to call you back. Okay. See you. August comes in and wants to talks with Nathan. AUGUST: Just the man I wanted to see. JAMIE: I believe I owe you an apology. AUGUST: It's okay. That's gracious of you, Jamie, but it's certainly not okay. Do you mind if I speak to your father for a minute? JAMIE: Well, we can't play anyway. NATHAN: Jamie, why don't you go ahead and wait in the car for a minute, okay? JAMIE: Okay. NATHAN: Thanks, buddy. JAMIE: Hey, Professor Kellerman, can your dog actually ride a skateboard? AUGUST: He can. JAMIE: Cool. AUGUST: I've been "Professor Kellerman" for nearly 30 years. I'm a senior academic with tenure. Do you know what that means? NATHAN: It means they can't fre you. AUGUST: It means they can't fre you without cause, usually stemming from severe misconduct. You mind if we sit? NATHAN: I'd rather stand. AUGUST: I'll sit. Academic tenure is primarily intended to guarantee the right of academic freedom. It protects teachers when they dissent from prevailing opinion, openly disagree with authorities, or spend time on unfashionable topics. It does not, however, allow you to drive drunk and flee the scene of an accident, which is what I did. I was having a dinner in Raleigh, and I-I didn't want to wait out the storm. NATHAN: So you drove home drunk, with an open bottle of Phidian's in the car. AUGUST: And that was wrong. So, as of today, I'm no longer Professor Kellerman. I've resigned my position. And I'll pay for any damages to the vehicle, hospital bills -- all of it. I'd appreciate that the authorities not be involved, but I'll understand if you feel it's necessary. And one more thing. I'm sorry. It's a good system, tenure... Except when teachers fail to use their freedom for the common good. Condos. It's a shame. Parks are important to a community, for families, fathers and sons. It's a shame. CLUB TRIC/NALEY'S HOUSE Haley can see the Tric by the TV. QUINN: Hey-y-y...testing. Testing. Hales? HALEY: Awesome! There you are.

HALEY: Well, sing or dance or entertain me or something. QUINN: Um... “It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight not the cream to the challenge of our rivals and the last-known survivor stalks his prey in the night” (The band come in) HALEY: Quinny, uh... QUINN: “And he's watching us all with the eye”. Um... Hey. BAR COFFEE Ian joins Nathan and Clay. IAN: Hey. NATHAN: Hey. CLAY: Thanks for coming. IAN: First off, congrats on the baby. Very strong.

Well, as you know, we're not very close, and, um...I just hope that what happened doesn't affect us you know, the three of us. CLAY: We represent you, Ian. We don't represent your father. IAN: Well, I appreciate that. I mean, the truth of the matter is, I feel bad for the old man, but at the same time, I got a showcase coming up. NATHAN: And that's what you should be focused on. That's why we wanted to talk to you today. That workout's a big deal. CLAY: Yeah, there's gonna be some big-time scouts there. Now, you just need to do what you do and just close the rest of it out. NATHAN: It's like you told me that night on the mound he cannot touch you out there. You throw the ball, you strike them out, and that's it. We'll do the rest. IAN: Okay. But before that, we need to get some drinks celebrate that baby. CLAY: What are you guys doing tonight? I'm going to Tric. Olin & The Moon, Alex Dupré. If you guys want to roll through, I can put you on the list. NATHAN: I'm gonna try to make it. It'll probably be a late night, though. IAN: Perfect. I'm gonna get a workout in, and, um, I want to avoid Alex Dupré. I was kind of working that, but she totally blew me off. CLAY: Smart girl. NATHAN: All right, I got to go. Clay, I will see you tonight if you can get in. Ian, why don't you ask Clay why Alex Dupré knows he can see the ocean from his bedroom? I've never asked him. IAN: So? CLAY: Uh... I'm thinking pancakes. NALEY'S HOUSE Brooke has come to see Lydia and talks about her new offer. HALEY: I can't believe they're gonna tear down the Rivercourt. It's gonna be so weird not to have it here.bIt's sad. Like...Reminds me that we're not who we used to be anymore. BROOKE: I got an offer to go to New York. HALEY: What? BROOKE: A job offer to move to New York and design. HALEY: For who? BROOKE: Clothes Over Bros. HALEY: Is that something that you'd consider? BROOKE: Victoria thinks I should. Maybe it's good that the Rivercourt will be gone. When we see it, it just reminds us of what's gone of who we thought we'd be someday. RIVERCOURT Skills, Mouth and Millie discover the new project. SKILLS: "Future home of: River View Condominiums"? Former home of a river view condominiums sign. MOUTH: I can't believe it. We've spent most of our lives out here.

NATHAN: So, Kellerman came to see me yesterday. He admitted that it was him. He resigned his teaching position, and he offered to pay any costs associated with the accident, and he apologized. JULIAN: He apologized?! NATHAN: I'm not defending him, Julian. I just wanted you to know what happened. He said that he was hoping we wouldn't go to the cops, but if we did, he would accept whatever happens. JULIAN: You see, this is what I'm talking about, Nate so now it's on us? So I got to feel guilty if we turn in Kellerman for getting drunk and driving like an idiot? Great! That's on me now. NATHAN: And me. What do you think? JULIAN: I don't know. What do you think? NATHAN: I think Kellerman's life was academia, and he just lost that.But if you want to turn him in, I'm completely fine with that, too. This has nothing to do with Ian or Fortitude. JULIAN: I know that, but I want to talk to him. NATHAN: Ian? JULIAN: August Kellerman. I want to look him in the eye and hear his side of things. NATHAN: I think that's fair. CLUB TRIC Quinn introduces the next group. QUINN: First off, I want to say "hi" to my sister Haley. She's home tonight but, uh, watching on her webcam. So, let's all turn around and say, "hi, Haley!"

AUGUST: They've accepted my resignation. I told them I was done, that my heart wasn't in it anymore. But if the accident goes public, I'll deal with it. Does any of this matter to you that I loved my work? IAN: Then you shouldn't have done it. I miss your mother, more every day, but I'm thankful she's not alive to see this...To see what's become of us. IAN: The scouts are gonna be here, dad. AUGUST: Good luck to you, son.

NALEY'S HOUSE Brooke visits Haley with a surprise. BROOKE: Hello! I have come to offer you a trade. Last remnants of Karen's café for Lydia straight up. HALEY: Oh, I don't know. That's tempting. BROOKE: I'll throw in my car. And my sunglasses. Car has new tires, but that's it. HALEY: Hmm. What do you say? Say "no deal." BROOKE: Say yes! HALEY: "No deal! I like it here!" Sorry. BROOKE: Fine. You can have the sign anyway. I know Karen's meant a lot to you, too. HALEY: Oh, thank you so much. I always wanted that. BROOKE: Yeah. Hi! HALEY: I'm getting so sad today. BROOKE: Why? HALEY: I was thinking about the Rivercourt, and now this sign. I just feel like it's the end of something really good, you know? Makes me sad. BROOKE: Well, on the upside, Lydia and I talked, and she told me that she wants to spend every weekend in New York, shopping and seeing plays...And hanging out with her Aunt Brooke. HALEY: Ohh. BROOKE: Huh? Yes. HALEY: I am gonna miss you, Brooke Davis, like you can't imagine. BROOKE: Of course I can. I'm gonna miss you the same. I love you. HALEY: You too. BROOKE: What if I throw in Julian's truck? HALEY: Not gonna happen. BROOKE: Ahh, it's a good deal. Tell your mommy she didn't even have you a week ago. HALEY: Oh, no! BROOKE: She didn't even have you a week ago! Ohh! I know! FLASHBACK, BASEBALL FIELD Nathan talks with August. NATHAN: It wasn't you. It was Ian. AUGUST: It doesn't matter. I resigned. NATHAN: To cover for your son. Why? AUGUST: Because he's my son. NATHAN: But your career. 30 years, Professor Kellerman. AUGUST: Well, Mr. Kellerman now. And you asked why I did it, not whether or not he was worth it. I haven't had a drink since my wife died. We're fathers, Nathan. This is what we do for our sons. It just is. BASEBALL FIELD It's to Madison to ht the ball. UMPIRE: Strike three! NATHAN: All right, buddy, here we go! It's to Jamie to ht the ball. JAMIE(Voice-over): It knocked upon the mountain and recoiled upon the flat, for Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat. There was ease in Casey's manner as he stepped into his place. There was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile on Casey's face. UMPIRE: Strike one! NATHAN: That's all right, Jamie. You can do it! Make sure it's your pitch, buddy. QUINN: Let's go, bud! This one's yours! UMPIRE: Strike two! QUINN: That's all right! Good cut, buddy! NATHAN: It's okay, Jamie. Keep your eye on the ball, buddy. UMPIRE: Strike three! Jamie joins others.

I want you to meet someone. ALEX: Oh. You must be Chuck. I've heard a lot about you. CHUCK: And you're Alex. I saw pictures of you on the Internet. Naughty, naughty. CHASE: Hey! CHUCK: So are you guys, like, doing stuff? ALEX: What kind of stuff? You mean like going to the movies, talking on the phone, and holding hands? 'Cause we totally do that kind of stuff. CHUCK: Gross. Or maybe awesome. I don't know. I got to go to the bathroom. CHASE: I told you about that root beer. Don't make me tell Alex about the camping trip. CHUCK: Shut up! Stinking drag-leg Laura! (Chuck leaves) ALEX: What? CHASE: Sorry. ALEX: No, it's okay. He's cute. Kind of. So, what's up? CHASE: I need a favor. You ever taken a drug test? ALEX: Why, are you taking one? CHASE: Have you? ALEX: Dude, if they drug-tested me, I would never work again. I'm kidding. I know everything there is to know about drug tests. Ask me anything. CHASE: All right. How long does it take for a couple hits off a joint to clear your system? ALEX: When did you get high? CHASE: Um, I didn't, really. Not on purpose. You remember the Kid Cudi show? FLASHBACK, CLUB TRIC Chase enters in the Kid Cudi's room. CHASE: More beers for you guys. Have a good show. MAN: No one leaves without hitting this. CHASE: Is he serious? MAN: Yeah. FLASHBACK, CLUB TRIC Alex is laughing. ALEX: That's amazing. CHASE: How long? ALEX: I don't know. I mean, it's different for everyone. Can you risk it? CHASE: No. I need a favor. ALEX: Huh? FLASHBACK, CLINN'S HOUSE Quinn is in bikini. CLAY: Quinn? Hey, Quinn! Holy cow. QUINN: Don't say cow. CLAY: I want to go to Puerto Rico. I mean it. Forget about training camp.

Hurry home. Hurry home. BASEBALL FIELD Clay finds his mind. CLAY: No extra innings! Three up, three down. Three up, three down. Four up, three down. Stay in front of those, Madison! FLASHBACK, NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan talks to Haley about August. NATHAN: I saw him as Dan. I thought Ian Kellerman was like me and his father was like Dan. I guess I'm still not past it. HALEY: Your father. NATHAN: Yeah. I'll never be able to understand or accept what he did, so I guess I just...avoid it. Because if I don't avoid it, what's left is so dark. It's like... It's like Lydia growing up and someday standing a few feet from Jamie and taking his life. And that's impossible and horrible... HALEY: Mm. NATHAN: And that's exactly what my father did. And then I feel guilty... For keeping Jamie from seeing his grandfather and for making it to the NBA and knowing that I never could have done it without my father. And for letting him live alone and die alone because that's what I have to do. HALEY: Maybe you should just go to that diner and tell Dan everything that you're thinking and feeling all of it. NATHAN: You think he deserves that? HALEY: No. But I think you deserve it. FLASHBACK, CLINN'S HOUSE Quinn practices sport. Clay sees her. CLAY: Hey, didn't you already work out today? QUINN: Yep. I'm doing two-a-days. CLAY: Oh. You're worried about being around all those models. QUINN: Mm, actually, that's not it. I'm worried about security at the airport. CLAY: What? QUINN: You know those TSA machines show you naked? I got to look good for that. AERODROME Chase still wait. FLASHBACK, CLUB TRIC Chase's cellphone rings. CHASE(at phone): Hello?

Actually, it looks like the lab had a mix-up with your urine sample. CHASE(at phone): Okay. Are you sure? WOMAN(at phone): Well, unless you're pregnant, we're pretty sure. AERODROME Alex joins Chase. ALEX: Hey. What's wrong? You okay? CHASE: We need to talk. BASEBALL FIELD It's to Madison to ht the ball. UMPIRE: Ball four. Take your base. QUINN: Yay, Madison! Let's go, Sharks!

FLASHBACK, BEAUTY ROOM QUINN: I'd like the panther, please. WOMAN: Actually, the panther is our darkest shade. I really wouldn't recommend that for you. QUINN: Oh, that's okay. I'll be fine. Just one panther, please. WOMAN: Okay. BASEBALL FIELD CLAY: She'll be here. But you know who won't be here? Ian. FLASHBACK, CLINN'S HOUSE Nathan and Clay must to find a solution to punish Ian. CLAY: We got to talk to Ian. NATHAN: I know. I'll do it. CLAY: It'd probably be better if I talk to him. NATHAN: Why? CLAY: 'Cause you're bad cop and I'm good cop. NATHAN: Why am I bad cop? CLAY: Real it, okay. Might be the, uh, the bar fights, the shouting matches in public, the mrder father. NATHAN: Weak. Maybe Julian should talk to him. CLAY: Why not me? NATHAN: Because you're not good cop. You're more like officer friendly. Julian nearly lost Brooke. He should talk to him, if he wants to. FLASHBACK, CLAY'S CAR Julian, Nathan and Clay are with Ian. IAN: Where we going, anyway? CLAY: Just taking a little drive. JAMIE(Voice-over): They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain. BASEBALL FIELD It's to Jamie to ht the ball. JAMIE(Voice-over): And they knew that Casey wouldn't let that ball go by again. UMPIRE: Strike three. You're out. Nathan, Clay and Julian give the last rules. NATHAN: All right, this is it. We need one run to tie, two to win. I say we win it right here. No extra innings. CLAY: No extra innings. Definitely no extra innings. JULIAN: Now, you all know I'm moving to New York and this is gonna be my only game. UMPIRE: I need a batter, coach! JULIAN: So I just wanted to express... NATHAN: All right, that's it. Top of the order. Chuck, Madison, Jamie. Let's go. CLAY: All right, Sharks, we got this. Come on! Whoo! Come on, Chuck. Look alive, buddy! Chase and Alex are coming. Chuck joins them.

Do you love it? Mm-hmm. Don't forget about our date later. CLAY: Mnh-mnh. Madison. Madison, take your time, okay? You wait for your right pitch, and you tie this thing up for us. I'm talking extra innings. Free baseball, Sharks! We like that. Meanwhile, Ian passes test in front of scouts. FLASHBACK, GABEL BRIDGE Guys go to the place of this accident. NATHAN: So, how's your dad doing, Ian? I mean, now that he's resigned. IAN: I don't know. However, I guess. He mostly spends time on that stupid boat. JULIAN: You know what's good about boats? They float. Cars, not so much. IAN: Where are we going, again? CLAY: Right here. We're going right here. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley sees the panel and finds an idea. FLASHBACK, GABEL BRIDGE JULIAN: I'll never forget this place. I was standing right about here when I saw Brooke. And she looked so relieved, like maybe... For a moment, everything was gonna be okay. I was proud of her, you know? For staying to help Jamie. I mean, he's just a kid. Just a scared kid who wanted to believe that everything would be okay, and that adults would make it okay and be heroic and strong and everything they're supposed to be for a boy like that. And then the Wagoneer came from right there. They're lucky to be alive! IAN: Yeah, man, I'm so sorry. You know, my dad, he... NATHAN: He hasn't had a drink since your mom died. IAN: That's not true. NATHAN: He was also coming from Raleigh that night. And he wouldn't have been coming from that direction. IAN: So maybe he got turned around in the storm. I don't know. NATHAN: Maybe it was you, Ian. It was, wasn't it? IAN: Come on, guys. He told you he did it. He resigned. JULIAN: And you let him! You got drunk, nearly klled my wife and Nathan's son, and then just drove away and let your father take the blame! Look at me! You probably didn't even say "thank you." IAN: You know what? You guys are my agents. You're should be thrilled that we dodged a bllet, that everyone's okay, everything's been dealt with. NATHAN: Thrilled... That you drove drunk, left our families to die, and your family to pay for it? What the hell is wrong with you? IAN: Guys, I got scouts coming to see me. I am this close to being someone. I couldn't stay here. I couldn't. I didn't have a choice. JULIAN: Oh, you had a choice. IAN: Whatever. This is ridiculous. (Clay pushes Ian in water) NATHAN: Clay! Clay! IAN: Are you out of your mind?! CLAY: You had no choice?! You chose to be a coward! IAN: You know what? You guys are fired! I might even sue you for this! Get off me! JULIAN: Come here! IAN: Get off! JULIAN: You like that?! How does that feel?! IAN: Stop! Stop! JULIAN: Don't you wish there was somebody here to help you now?! IAN: Go on! JULIAN: Go throw your ball and be whoever it is you think you're gonna be! NATHAN: My son said to give that to you. IAN: I couldn't stay! I just couldn't! JULIAN: Well, now maybe you can stay and think about it. Enjoy the walk. BASEBALL FIELD It's to Madison to ht the ball. JULIAN: All right, Madison, come on! No outs! CHUCK: We only need one, Madison! Don't mess it up! QUINN: Yeah! Go, go, go, go, Madison! NATHAN: You're safe here. Stop, stop. Alex and Chase join Quinn. QUINN: All right! Come on, Jamie, you can do this! ALEX: Quinn? Is that a spray tan? QUINN: Yeah. It's the panther. CLAY: Nice and slow. Take your time. FLASHFORWARD, JACUZZI Quinn and Clay are dating. QUINN: Hey. Let date night begin. Here I come. CLAY: Babe? QUINN: Now, then... Oh, no! CLAY: I think if we dunked you, we could make tea. QUINN: Oh, my God! No! No, no, no! CLAY: Well, maybe some of it'll stick to me. I could use the color. Can I interest you in a hot shower? QUINN: Yes. BASEBALL FIELD It's to Jamie to ht the ball. NATHAN: All right. Come on, Jamie, you got this. Let's get a ht. FLASHBACK, AUGUST'S BOAT Nathan and August talk together. NATHAN: Thanks. So...I owe you an apology. I was so sure you were like my dad, I couldn't see you any other way. AUGUST: Well... Then that makes us even. I was so sure you were like my son that I couldn't see you as the "A" student you turned out to be. NATHAN: "A" student? Really? AUGUST: "A" minus. I understand you're no longer representing my son. NATHAN: That's right. AUGUST: Admit it – when I asked you not to, you thought it was because I felt you weren't good enough for him. But maybe I thought he wasn't good enough for you and that agency you have with your partner, the Muppet. NATHAN: Clay Evans. Fortitude. AUGUST: Integrity as a mission statement. Not bad. I promised my wife, Catherine, I'd do this someday sail off to nowhere. No lectures, no papers, no clocks. Actually, I promised her we'd do it together. Time gets away from you. NATHAN: You know, I don't speak with my father. Sometimes I feel guilty about that, but I know in my heart that's the way it has to be. So, one of these nights, when you find your corner of heaven or your sliver of peace and you're feeling guilty about the distance between you and your son... I don't know. Maybe it just...helps to know that you're not the only one going through something like that. AUGUST: Well, there's no time like now to start the rest of your life. NATHAN: Thanks for the beer, profes... um, Mr. Kellerman. AUGUST: Call me August. NATHAN: Where's Dogust, by the way? AUGUST: He's here. Dogust! Hey! Look who's here to see you! Yes. Look at this. Every Captain needs a first mate. NATHAN: There he is. Hey, pal. Good to see you again. All right. AUGUST: Take care. All the best. Come on. Let's go sailing. Come on, Dogust. Come on, my boy. Mr. Scott. They still developing those condos at that basketball court of yours? NATHAN: The Rivercourt. Yeah. AUGUST: Two words, Snipey Plover. It's a bird. Okay, Catherine, here we go. You too, Dogust. You too. Yeah. BASEBALL FIELD Ian practices. Meanwhile, It's to Jamie to ht the ball. UMPIRE: Strike one. NATHAN: Time! Time! How you doing? JAMIE: Okay, I guess. NATHAN: Yeah? Feeling nervous? Yeah, I always felt nervous at the free-throw line. But listen, there's something I forgot to tell you about today that I should have. It's just a game, okay? Grandpa Dan always used to make me feel like it was life or death, but it's not. Now, you got a couple good strikes coming, so just give it your best sht. You're a good hitter. You can do this. No matter what, we're both getting ice cream, so either way we're good. All right? UMPIRE: Okay, coach, let's go. NATHAN: All right. Go get 'em, Jamie Scott. JAMIE: Okay. FLASHBACK, CAFETARIA Nathan wants to see his father but he backs off. FLASHBACK, NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan explains to Haley what it's happened. NATHAN: I couldn't do it. I drove to see Dan, but I couldn't go in. HALEY: Maybe one day. BASEBALL FIELD Jamie tries to ht the ball, he thinks. JAMIE(Voice-over): The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate. He pounds with cruel volence... His bat upon the plate. He signalled to the pitcher, and once more the spheroid flew. But Casey still ignored it, and the umpire said... UMPIRE: Strike two! JULIAN: Come on, Jamie, come on. MADISON: Come on, Jamie! You can do it! I know you can. FLASHBACK, AERODROME Chase announces to Alex what he knowns. CHASE: All my life, I've wanted to fly. And lately, I've been feeling... A sense of obligation. ALEX: That's why you've been spending time with Chuck, right? CHASE: That's right. But...It's more than that. I needed to take that drug test to join the Air Force. ALEX: What? Oh, my gosh. And did you join the Air Force? CHASE: Not yet. There's still a chance I could, but... I'd rather stay here with you because...You're pregnant, Alex. We're pregnant. Hey, it's okay. It's gonna be okay. I'm gonna be right here. ALEX: No, no, no, no, it's not... But you would stay with me? CHASE: Of course. What do you mean it's...it's not okay? ALEX: Now I have something to tell you. FLASHFORWARD, BASEBALL FIELD Brooke joins Julian on the field. BROOKE: Hey, handsome. JULIAN: Hi. BROOKE: I turned down the job. JULIAN: In New York? Why? BROOKE: When I was living there and running Clothes Over Bros, my office looked out on this building nearby, and on the rooftop was a playground where all the grade-school kids would have recess. And some days when things were crazy which was most days I'd look out, and I'd watch those kids run around, and I'd think, "that's no way to play." I mean, I love New York, but living in constant fear of losing the kickball over the roof of your playground is kind of a rough way to grow up. JULIAN: So you turned down the job because the schools have playgrounds on the roof? BROOKE: I turned down the job because I don't want our child to have a playground on the roof. Unless it's the roof of my store here in Tree Hill. JULIAN: Tree Hill... Okay, you're losing me. BROOKE: Chase had to take a drug test, but a guy in Kid Cudi's posse made him take a ht of a joint, so he asked Alex to pee in a cup for him because she's sober. Except Alex isn't really sober because she accidentally ate some of Quinn's pot brownies, so Alex came over to ask you, because her and Chase are getting closer, and she wanted to be the one to help him, but you weren't home, so Alex asked me. And the lab called Chase and said that he's pregnant. JULIAN: What? BROOKE: So Chase told Alex, and Alex told me, and I took a pregnancy test. We're pregnant. JULIAN: Baby! I knew you could do it. JAMIE(Voice-over): Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright. BASEBALL FIELD Jamie is ready to ht the ball. JAMIE(Voice-over): The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light. NATHAN: All right, come on, Jamie! You can do it, son! JAMIE(Voice-over): And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout. That somewhere is right here. Because Casey might have struck out, but Casey's last name wasn't "Scott”. PEOPLE: Jamie! Jamie! End of the episode.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "08x20 - The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul"}	foreverdreaming

NATHAN: Like the Rivercourt. JAMIE: Yeah. NATHAN: So, you sure they're endangered? JAMIE: Uh-huh. Miss Lauren took us on a field trip, and I remember she said it was endangered right before Chuck threw up a bunch of chocolate milk he chugged on a dare. Why? NATHAN: Because Chuck is an idiot. JAMIE: No. Why does it matter if it's endangered? NATHAN: Because if we can find your Snipey Plover, we can save the Rivercourt. CLOTHES OVER BROS Haley enters in the shop.

NATHAN: No, seriously -- you're stranger than I thought you were. CLAY: You're just now noticing this? I'm a weird dude. I'm an odd duck. Why don't you just have Jamie camp out by the pool?

JERRY: Tomorrow you're gonna go live again. Okay, now, consider that your audition, but, Millie, they've seen you do funny, and they've seen you do angry. Maybe switch it up a bit, give them something sweet or serious. MILLICENT: I can totally do serious. JERRY: Maybe don't go with the costume. MILLICENT: Got it.

MILLICENT: No, but that's a little strange, honey. MOUTH: I know. So, why do you need a great idea? MILLICENT: Because they're doing a new morning show, and tomorrow my live segment is my audition. MOUTH: That's amazing. MILLICENT: Yeah... But they said they've seen me be funny and angry. They want to see me be serious. MOUTH: Then you should do that story on the Rivercourt. It's local, it's timely, and you'll be great. MILLICENT: You'll help me? MOUTH: Of course. Let's get the camera. MILLICENT: It was weird that you were standing on your head, right? MOUTH: Totally. In case you haven't noticed, I'm weird, Millie. I'm an odd duck. RIVERCOURT Guys put a camera to sht birds. CHUCK: So, what's the plan, anyways? NATHAN: We use Julian's camera and roll it continuously. Then we'll take turns switching out the memory cards. Hopefully, that'll get us some footage of the snarling rover. JAMIE: Snipey Plover. JULIAN: Plus, it's a full moon tonight, so we should have plenty of light. CHUCK: That's it? We're just gonna film it? Man, I thought we were gonna catch it. I brought my slingshot! CHASE: Chuck, the Snipey Plover's an endangered species. CHUCK: So? JAMIE: So that doesn't mean you sht it with a slingshot. CHUCK: Lame. NATHAN: Speaking of lame, where's Clay? BEACH Quinn makes a photoshot with Taryn. QUINN: That's perfect. Now give me "slightly hung over." TARYN: You know, you could have just come to my room this morning. It looked just like this. QUINN: I like that better. You can relax for a sec. TARYN: You know, this is really fun, Quinn. QUINN: You think? I just wanted to do something different than just beach. TARYN: If it matters, it's my favorite so far. QUINN: That means a lot. Thanks. MAN: Mine, too. QUINN: It's good, but, um...It could be better. Better. RIVERCOURT Jamie and Chuck plays near a bulldozer. JAMIE: Better not. CHUCK: I'm just going to check it out. You don't have to climb up if you're chicken. JAMIE: I'm not chicken. CHUCK: Then climb. Pretty cool, huh? JAMIE: Yeah. CHUCK: Hey, check it out. My mom let me borrow her phone for the camping trip. Maybe tonight we can crank-call some people. JAMIE: Caller I.D. CHUCK: So? They'll think it's my mom. No way. JAMIE: Don't what are you doing? CHUCK: I just want to see what happens. JAMIE: Don't do it. (Nathan calls them) NATHAN: Jamie! Chuck! CHUCK: Gotcha!

NATHAN: All right, now, this is what I call roughing it. CLAY: Snipey Plover. JAMIE: Oh, did you find him? JULIAN: I don't know. We have to download these memory cards and check the footage. But the camera's all set for another four hours. NATHAN: Well, I caught us some pizza in the wild so we can have some dinner. CHASE: Nice. CLAY: Wait -- do you guys know why the Snipey Plover is endangered? It lays its eggs on the ground. I mean, the stupid bird doesn't even build a nest. What? NATHAN: Can I get a drink from your half-water/half-ice cooler? CLAY: It's not so strange now, is it? NATHAN: It's still strange. We're just very thirsty. CLAY: Mm. All right, look. All I'm saying is that this is nature's way of controlling things. It's Darwinism on display. Just build your nest somewhere high, you lazy bird. JULIAN: Who knew male figure skaters were so angry? NATHAN: Clay, we got pizza, beer perfect night. I mean, I know you wanted to stay home, but come on, man. Is there any place you'd rather be right now? CLAY: Puerto Rico.

It's nice of you to do this spend a weekend trying to help Jamie. I'm sure he appreciates it. NATHAN: Yeah. You know, sometimes I think about when we were kids and the memories I have of my parents and their friends. And then I think, "this is what they'll remember when they look back." You know, these are the days that they'll stories about. That's when I feel like I can do better, that I have the responsibility to try. You know, Jamie's gonna miss you when you leave to New York. He'll miss you and Brooke. We all will. JULIAN: Uh... We're not leaving. Brooke passed on the job. NATHAN: How come? JULIAN: Because she's pregnant. NATHAN: But I-I thought...

NATHAN: You know the thread count of your sheets. Triple salchow right now. When the Rivercourt's gone, a lot of memories are gonna go with it. I used to train with Q there, Jimmy Edwards, my Uncle Keith. It's worth a weekend to try to save that. CLAY: Yeah, I know. The truth is, I wouldn't have missed it. NATHAN: I know. I am thinking about going on a coffee run, though. CLAY: Thank God. I don't understand camping. We have houses. We have beds, showers, flatirons. Julian and Chase talk together. CHASE: So, you must be excited about Brooke's...Thing I'm not supposed to know about. JULIAN: We're totally excited, and we appreciate you not saying anything, even though I might've slipped up and told Nathan last night. CHASE: Mm. I don't know anything about that. JULIAN: So, why'd you have to take a drug test, anyway? CHASE: Well. Since I'm carrying around your secret, I guess you could carry around mine. I joined the Air Force. JULIAN: Wow. That's big. CHASE: Yeah. And I got to leave soon. (Chuck heard the conversation) CHASE: Hey, Chuck, buddy. CHUCK: I want to go home. STREET IN PUERTO RICO Quinn and Taryn are in a car. They see children.

CHASE: Dude, of course I'm gonna come back. CHUCK: That's what my dad said. I heard him downstairs, so I got up. He was just opening the door. I said, "hey, dad, where you going? He said, "I'm gonna go get you a new bike, then I'm gonna come back and teach you to ride it." I sat on the porch and waited till it got dark out. And then my mom came and got me. For the longest time, I was sure something happened to him. I didn't know how to feel when I found out he was okay. He just didn't want us anymore. CHASE: That's not gonna happen with me, okay? I'll be back in no time. CHUCK: You promise? CHASE: Promise. CHUCK: I never did learn to ride a stupid bike. Don't tell anyone? HOTEL IN PUERTO RICO Girls talk. BROOKE: I can't...Oh. Well, Antwon says he didn't get any pictures from you, but that he'd like some. ALEX: Okay, maybe you sent them to someone who's next to Antwon in your address book. Let me check mine. LAUREN: Honestly, if it's not him, I don't know who I would have texted. BROOKE: I don't know. ALEX: That would be Antonio Banderas. BROOKE: What? ALEX: You sent Antonio Banderas naked pictures. LAUREN: Semi-naked photos, and he's in my phonebook under "skills." But could I please have Antonio Banderas' phone number? BROOKE: Yeah, me, too. I'll take that. ALEX: Ehh! Oh, no! BROOKE: Oh!

CLAY: Hmm. Like I said smart bird, making its nest in the ground like that. Millie prepares for her report. MAN: 20 seconds, Millie. MILLICENT: Thank you for helping me, Marvin. MOUTH: Of course. You're gonna do great. MILLICENT: How many nights in high school did you spend here, practicing to be an announcer? MAN: 10 seconds. MOUTH: I don't know. Pretty much all of them. MAN: Going live in 3, 2, 1... MILLICENT: “I'm standing here today on a small piece of history in Tree Hill. No costumes, no catchphrases just a story about a local landmark that is soon to be erased, developed into condominiums unless something changes. The landmark is called the Rivercourt, and for those who loved it, its absence will be heartbreaking. For more on this story, here's someone who learned his craft here my colleague, Marvin McFadden.” MOUTH: “It's been host to authors, NBA players, local legends, and fashion designers. Notable musicians have played here both concerts and games of "horse." And on gentle summer nights as the staccato rhythms of worn leather on fading asphalt mixes with the white noise of the distant nightlife across the Cape Fear, kids have grown up here. I should know. I was one of them. Now development thrat to erase this place. Commerce is commerce. That's not really the point, is it? The truth is, a town's identity is made up of places like this one. And once they're gone, they're gone. Some people who care about this court have uncovered a nest nearby that could be the key to stopping the bulldozers you see behind me. But even so, do we have to find a technicality to preserve our town's history? A lot of lost kids found their way to something better in this park. In a confusing world, at a confusing time in their lives, they found something that made sense here, and they became better people because of it. Surely that is worth preserving. For Millicent Huxtable...Who I love with all my heart, I'm Marvin McFadden reporting. MAN: And we're out. MILLICENT: That was so good. CLAY: Whoo! CHUCK'S HOUSE Chase comes with a surprise. CHUCK: What's going on? CHASE: Well I thought you might want to hang on to this while I'm gone. CHUCK: Cool! Can you teach me to ride it? CHASE: Yeah, absolutely. CHUCK: Man, this is better than those pictures Miss Lauren sent me. CHASE: Yeah, you might not want to tell skills that, Skolnick. CLOTHES OVER BROS Haley makes a surprise to Brooke. HALEY: You got it, there? No peeking. All right, you ready? BROOKE: Okay. It's just like... HALEY: Karen's Café. Karen's Café was always so special to us. Karen made sure of that, and...and you, too, and I just thought, maybe after you move, I'll re-open it and call it Karen's Café. And maybe Jamie and Lydia will feel the same way that we did safe, you know? What do you think? BROOKE: I think that sounds perfect. But it looks like I might be sticking around, so how would you like a partner? HALEY: Of course. I would love that, but what happened? I thought -- why aren't you moving to New York? BROOKE: Because I'm pregnant. HALEY: Are you serious? BROOKE: Yeah. HALEY: Oh, my God! Oh, my... RIVERCOURT Jamie and Nathan plays basketball.

MOUTH: Today we're live from the corner of Front and Grace where, once upon a time, there sat a little diner called Karen's Café, where Haley James Scott performed and waited tables. MILLICENT: The diner then became the former home of Clothes Over Bros, where I worked for and with my good friend Brooke Davis. Brooke, what brings us here today? BROOKE: Well, today is the grand re-opening of Karen's Café, where Haley James Scott will again work and perform. But let's get started with the performance part. Ladies and gentlemen, Karen's Café is once again open for business! Haley stars to sing. Clay joins Quinn. CLAY: Your work looks amazing in here. QUINN: Thank you, baby.

CINEMA Quinn and Jamie saw Harry Potter the movie. JAMIE: Hermione ends up with Ron. QUINN: For now. JAMIE: For always. I think Harry took her for granted. You can't do that with girls. QUINN: So, how are things with Madison? JAMIE: Well, she gave me my shoelace back. I got her a new one and put it on her locker, but she gave that back, too. QUINN: I'm sorry, buddy. Look, all you can do is tell a girl how you feel, and the rest is up to her. And just so you know, Madison would be crazy to not see how wonderful you are. JAMIE: I just want her to like me again. NALEY’S HOUSE Nathan and Haley are in the bed. NATHAN: Do you know why Clay named his agency "Fortitude"? Because of a conversation he had with Dan. He told Dan that he had the fortitude to face any adversity. Sometimes at night, I just try to understand how we got here. How my father became the man that he is, how I became whoever it is that I am. I just wish that he could know our children. HALEY: Mm. NATHAN: I know he can't, but...I wish that he could. HALEY: Mm. HOSPITAL Brooke passes an echography. DOCTOR: I seem to be getting two heartbeats. BROOKE: That's normal, right? I mean -- I mean, mine and the baby's? DOCTOR: Well, let me rephrase it. If we're counting yours, I seem to be getting three heartbeats. JULIAN: Are you sure, doc? I mean, does that mean... DOCTOR: Well, I've only been doing this for 30 years, but, yes. Congratulations. You're carrying twins. BROOKE: Wha... BRULIAN’S HOUSE Julian makes crib of the babies. BROOKE: A little early, don't you think? JULIAN: No. The next three months will fly by, I'm sure. Come here. (Brooke is 6 mouth of her pregnancy) JULIAN: You know how I told you not to worry? Well, I guess what I should have said is, I know you're gonna worry, but when you do, I'm here. BROOKE: Okay. JULIAN: Oh-ho, God, 38. BROOKE: Wow. Ohh. JULIAN: This is our miracle, Brooke Davis. And now it's two miracles. And no girl deserves it more. SET OF SHOW Jerry announces a news to Mouth and Millie.

MILLICENT: Who's Billy Parker? MOUTH: Billy Parker is the host of their morning show. He's been there forever. MILLICENT: So they're looking to replace him? MOUTH: No. They're looking to help him.

I'm tired of hotel rooms. CLAY: One more night. We'll go see Danny Howard, then we're done. I thought that kid from Texas was good. NATHAN: Yeah. They're all good. We just to find the one that's gonna be great. When I was rehabbing my back, I used to work out at night. And there was this late-night janitor who would come in to clean up. And for weeks, we never spoke to each other. He would do his thing, I would do mine, and that was that. But then one night, he asked me why I was always there so late. And I told him that I felt like this was my last chance... And that if I didn't make it but I worked as hard as I could, that would be okay. But if I woke up some night and I realized that I could have worked harder, that would haunt me for the rest of my life. We need to find the kid who feels like that. MOUTH’S APARTMENT Mouth and Millie talks about the job. MOUTH: You should take that job. MILLICENT: Not without you. MOUTH: Like Jerry said, it's a good market. It's a network job. MILLICENT: There will be other jobs. MOUTH: That's what I thought. I took what I had for granted, Millie, and I spent a long time trying to get it back. Charlotte isn't that far away. We can make it work. CONCERT Chase talks with Mia. MIA: Are you happy, chase? CHASE: Most days. We all have our moments, right? MIA: Mm. How's Alex? CHASE: She stopped writing. She's seeing some guy. MIA: Chase, she's a famous actress. CHASE: Yeah. I thought she'd wait for me. MIA: Did I mention she's a famous actress? CHASE: It still kind of sucks. MIA: Every night, I sing songs about love. And then I sit on my bus, and I write songs about love. And the only thing I really know about love is that it's unknowable. And now I should go before my heart gets crushed by that "so in love with her" look on your face. Come here. I'm proud of you. And I miss you. And you... Look as beautiful as ever. CHASE: Funny, I was just about to say that. You inspire me. Your goodness inspires me. Don't let the world take that. HOTEL ROOM Clay picks up Nathan. CLAY: Get dressed. NATHAN: Do you have any idea what time it is? CLAY: Yep. GYMNASIUM Clay and Nathan are going to a basketball player. CLAY: Okay, so, what did the janitor say to you? NATHAN: Dude, I was asleep like seven minutes ago. CLAY: In the gym, when you were explaining to him why you were there so late, what did he say? NATHAN: He said that if hard work matters, I'm gonna make it. Why? (A guy plays basketball) CLAY: That's why. NATHAN: Let me guess…Danny Howard. CLAY: How late were you in the gym most nights? NATHAN: 1:00 a.m., sometimes 2:00. What time is it now? CLAY: Almost 3:00. CLINN’S HOUSE Clay comes back home. He finds a new Chairy. QUINN: Hey, you. CLAY: What is this?

Julian joins her. JULIAN: Hi, gorgeous. BROOKE: Sometimes I sit in here, and it feels like Christmas Eve. And I remember the…the joy and the anticipation and the excitement I felt knowing Christmas was almost here. I feel that way now. JULIAN: I know that feeling. It's how I felt when I first met you. It's how I still feel when I see you. I find myself wondering who I was before us. And I'm sure in three months, I'll be wondering who I was before we had a family. NALEY’S HOUSE Nathan comes back home. He takes Lydia in his hand. Haley wakes up. NATHAN: Hey, beautiful. HALEY: Hi. I missed you. You okay? NATHAN: Yeah. I'm perfect.

MILLICENT: I'd like to audition. MOUTH: Hey. What are you doing here? MILLICENT: I won't regret it. The best part about doing this was doing it with you. I don't want Charlotte. I want "Millie and Mouth in the morning" and evening and all the time. MOUTH: "Mouth and Millie." MILLICENT: Really? SKILLS: That's just great. I'm sitting up here looking like a damn fool, my bird feet are sweating, and I don't even got the job! You know what? I'm flipping both of you the me. SCHOOL Madison gives back Jamie’s pink shoelace. CLINN’S HOUSE Clay and Quinn intertwine in front of the swimming pool. CLAY: You know, after Sara died, I-I was always looking back... At what I had lost, at how my life was supposed to be. But somewhere along the way, you changed all that. And when I walk in the door and I see you, it's like the weight of my day just falls away. I miss you in forever ways. You taught me to look forward again...To days and nights with you. And I love you so much for that. QUINN: When I was a little girl, my dad used to read the paper every Sunday, and my mom would read a book nearby. And I would sit at the top of our stairs and just watch them just watch them be still together. And when I think of being in love, that's what I picture days like that...And nights like this.

JULIAN: What are you doing, Brooke Davis, starting your next Clothes Over Bros? BROOKE: Hmm. Maybe. But these days, my life is definitely more Bros Over Clothes. JAMIE (Voice-over): But I knew it all along. JULIAN: Whoa, whose baby is that? BROOKE: This is our baby. This is Davis. Davis, can you wake up? Hmm? Whose daddy got? Is that jude? JAMIE (Voice-over): See, this is my opinion we all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand." LYDIA’S BEDROOM Jamie reads a book to Lydia. JAMIE: "But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow and told to be responsible." KAREN’S CAFE Jamie joins at the café to eat with her. HALEY: Hey! Oh! Go wash up for dinner. JAMIE: Okay. HALEY: Okay. JAMIE (Voice-over): Told to act our age. And you know why we were told that? CAFETARIA Dan eats and looks at picture of Lydia. JAMIE (Voice-over): Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our wildness and youth. And because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad of what they'd allowed to wither in themselves. LYDIA’S BEDROOM Jamie continues to read a book to Lydia. JAMIE: "After you go so far away from it, you can't really get it back. You can have seconds of it. Just seconds of knowing and remembering." CINEMA Alex watches a movie with Chase. ALEX (Voice-over): When people get weepy at movies, it's because in that dark theatre, the golden pool of magic is touched...Just briefly. Mouth and Millie leave the cinema. MOUTH (Voice-over): Then they come out into the hard sun of logic and reason again and it dries up, and they're left feeling a little heart-sad and not knowing why. KAREN’S CAFE Haley sings for Nathan. HALEY (Voice-over): When a song stirs a memory... CLINN’S HOUSE Clay reads the paper and Quinn reads a book nearby.

Look... the point is, you liked the guy in the e-mails. HALEY: Yeah, I liked the guy in the e-mails. The guy in the e-mails was Harry Johnson. I liked Harry Johnson. "Harry Johnson"... that's nice. Nice to see you've grown up over the years, Chris. CHRIS: Come on! That's funny. Look... just... just give me a chance. Besides, the parent company already signed off on me, and they're kind of your boss, so... HALEY: So, I'm gonna talk to them. And this little arrangement is temporary. Don't get too comfortable.

Thank you, Victoria and Millie the crackhead, yes, yes. You love me so much. And besides, that was for girls. This would be for boys, and we'd call it... Should we tell grandma what it's called? Should we say "paddy cake, paddy cake, baker man"? A line of designer duds for your little man...Or men. We could start over, mom. What do you think? VICTORIA: Yeah. We will, honey. It's just that, you know, the way that the men's line struggled and with the economy the way it is... BROOKE: Yeah. It's okay. It was just an idea. VICTORIA: No, but we'll find it, sweetie.

Well, actually, the song is good, and you're good, but this production's all wrong. Where's the slide guitar? Where's the Hammond? ALEX: It's an acoustic track. CHRIS: It's crappy. ALEX: You're crappy. CHRIS: Look... if you want someone to tell you how great you are, go talk to your boyfriend. Okay. Chris Keller was hoping you'd say, "I don't have a boyfriend," but that doesn't really matter, does it? ALEX: What's that supposed to mean? CHRIS: It means you're an actress. ALEX: What's that supposed to mean? CHRIS: It means you're used to being treated special. It means you need constant praise and positive feedback. It means you stand there with your arms crossed, staring at me with this really sexy pout when you have to hear that this version of your probably not-bad song is crappy. ALEX: It's unbelievable how much I hate you. CHRIS: Nice. See, in the movies, this is sexual tension. We argue first, and then slowly you start to like Chris Keller, and then we do it. We can skip the "slowly" part if you want to. ALEX: I hate you. I hate you! CHRIS: The song's crappy! That ass is not. CHASE'S LOFT Alex comes back upset.

It's really spooky when you're not here. NATHAN(at phone): Like spooky for a reason,or "you watched a scary movie" spooky? HALEY(at phone): They're both spooky, okay? Besides, it isn't fair when you're supposed to have a big, strong husband that should be here, and I sleep better knowing that your side of the bed is closer to the door because if somebody breaks in, they...they're probably gonna get to you first, and then I can run, okay? NATHAN(at phone): You say the sweetest things to me, Haley James. HALEY(at phone): I just miss you. I want you to come home. I feel spoiled when you're here. NATHAN(at phone): Well, prepare to be spoiled because I'm gonna be home tomorrow night... or the next day, depending on these flights. HALEY(at phone): Really? That just made my heart race.

BROOKE(Voice-over): Well, my partial view. Now this is my view. We drive the same streets I drove in High School and listen to the same music... at least, when we can agree. Sometimes we try the '80s, sometimes classic rock."explsin in the sky" works for all of us. 2:00 a.M., 3:00 a.M., 4:00. We drive and we think... And we fuss a bit. Brooke eats in a drive fast-food. BROOKE(Voice-over): Sometimes we eat. Well, I eat. I guess some people might let it wear on them, the lack of sleep. But I don't mind it, really. I like Tree Hill like this. I like my car like this. Warm... Safe... Loved. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke goes to sleep. BROOKE(Voice-over): It's what I wished for. Mostly. JULIAN: They're buying boys in China. I got it.

We'll go see a doctor. QUINN: Today? CLAY: Today. QUINN: Thank God. I spent so much money shopping online last night. I bought you leather pants. You have to wear them for me, shirtless, and let me take photos of you. CLAY: Mm. Uh, yeah, only if I can grow a mustache, and you have to call me Sergio. QUINN: No, Clay, you have to! CLAY: Who's Clay? QUINN: Sergio. CLAY: Is better. DOCTOR'S OFFICE Clay goes to see doctor. DOCTOR: And how many times has this happened? CLAY: Three times that I know of. I mean, where I completely left the house. I don't remember anything. I just go to bed, and I wake up someplace else. QUINN: He also goes by the name Sergio sometimes. CLAY: She's joking. DOCTOR: And what else is going on with you, besides going by a Latin alias? CLAY: Just working, you know? And that gets me a little bit stressed out, but otherwise, nothing much. DOCTOR: Other than getting sht, you mean. Well, I'd like to run some neurological tests, and I'm going to write you a prescription for something that might help you sleep. CLAY: Great.

HALEY: Wow, it's like seeing a bigfoot. VICTORIA: Trust me... his feet aren't that big. BROOKE: Daddy, this is my friend, Haley. TED: Hi, Haley. It's nice to finally put a face with all the wonderful stories. HALEY: Oh, you too. BROOKE: And this is Jude and Davis. TED: Well, now. Julian, your boys have their mother's good looks. JULIAN: Yes, they do. Good to see you, Mr. Davis. TED: Come to your grandpa. You know, Vicky, you should have that cough checked. It could be serious at your age. Shall we begin? BROOKE: Mm-hmm.

He said my song was crappy. CHASE: Stop it. ALEX: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Mmm. Yum. It was an acoustic track. People like acoustic tracks. CHASE: Alex. ALEX: He was just so mean about it. CHASE: Which track was it? ALEX: "What I love about your love." CHASE: Really? Acoustic, huh? ALEX: Damn it, he's right. RED BEDROOM RECORDS Chris sings, Chase stops it.

Haley plays with Lydia. Ted joins her. TED: Oh, she's just beautiful, Haley. Those big eyes. Her daddy's gonna be busy protecting the castle. HALEY: Yes, he is. (Victoria comes too) VICTORIA: Well, well. TED: The old gray mare. She ain't what she used to be. VICTORIA: Imagine that... Robert Theodore Davis in a church, and it's still standing. (Dan enters in the church, Haley sees him) HALEY: Not for long. Uh, could you hold her for a minute, Victoria? VICTORIA: Oh, I thought you'd never ask. TED: How was prison, Vicky? VICTORIA: A lot like living with you, Ted. Mm. Except the sex was better. TED: Oh. I'll bet. You finally got to be the man. VICTORIA: Someone has to be. TED: Yeah. Haley goes to Dan to talks to him. HALEY: Well, I'm assuming this is not a coincidence. DAN: Hi, Haley. She's... she's beautiful. HALEY: What are you doing here, Dan? DAN: I called the house looking for Nathan. HALEY: He's out of town. DAN: Yeah, I talked to Jamie. He said you were here. HALEY: Okay. DAN: I had a f*re at the diner. I lost everything. HALEY: I'm sorry to hear that. DAN: I had a little place in the back, you know, where I lived... it was my home. I'm not proud of this, Haley. HALEY: How much do you need, Dan? DAN: I don't want your money. I'll get back on my feet. I was just hoping... I just thought maybe you could put me up for a couple of days, just until I can sort things out. HALEY: I, uh, can't get a hold of Nathan, and even if I could, I really don't think that... DAN: I know what I've done, Haley. I know how Nathan feels about me. So you have to know that I wouldn't be here unless I had no other place to go. Do you know what it's like to have a beautiful granddaughter and have no expectations of holding her... Or to accept the fact that you'll never be a part of your son's family? Either son. I know what I've done. I know what I created. I just need a little help. Please. RED BEDROOM RECORDS Alex comes in and tries to talks to Chris. He listen to music. CHRIS: Did you just throw your shoe at me? ALEX: I'm gonna throw more than that at you. You know, there's a way to give constructive criticism, and if you just think that you can just come in here and just, you know, be just some big jerk... (He cuts the sound) CHRIS: You finished? ALEX: No! You have a lot of nerve to just waltz in here and tell me that my song's bad when actually... (He cuts the sound again) CHRIS: Now? ALEX: No, and quit lifting your finger off the "talkback" button, you jerk. I know what you're doing. (Chris put Alex's song) ALEX: How'd you do that? CHRIS: Recorded all the instrumental parts. I just isolated your vocal and then pasted it in. ALEX: Well, when? CHRIS: Last night. ALEX: By yourself? CHRIS: Chris Keller likes jamming with Chris Keller. That way, he works with the best. ALEX: Next time, ask me first. It's my song. I could sue you. Other than that... It's good. CHRIS: It was already good. It was just recorded crap... it just needed to be produced better. Now, you want to go in there and re-record the vocal, or do I need to do that, too? ALEX: I'll do it. CHRIS: Good. Hurry it up. Chris Keller's got moves to make. And put your shoe back on. It smells like feet in here now. ALEX: It does not! NALEY'S HOUSE Haley give some blanket to Dan for the night. HALEY: Okay, the guest room is all made up. DAN: Thank you, Haley.

JULIAN: Your mom really hates your dad. BROOKE: I know. It's been like that as long as I can remember. Ugh. I showed her my ideas for baker man. She wasn't into it. JULIAN: Oh. Sorry, baby. So, I didn't tell you this because I didn't want to spoil the whole day, but the movie that was going to rent our stage fell through. They called when we were at the church. BROOKE: Is there any chance that could change? JULIAN: Usually not. So now I have all this equipment, a huge loan, and an empty sound stage. BROOKE: What are we gonna do? JULIAN: Well, first I'm gonna rock your world. BROOKE: Oh. JULIAN: And then we're gonna get some sleep. And tomorrow I'm gonna go to work and figure it out. (Baby crying) BROOKE: Oh, my God. Right on schedule. JULIAN: Mm-hmm. (Brooke gets up) BROOKE: See you in the morning. JULIAN: You want me to come? BROOKE: No. You have a studio to run. Get some sleep. I love you. JULIAN: Be careful.

What are you doing here so late? CHRIS: Just, uh, getting caught up, trying to figure out how best to run this label... if you let me, that is. HALEY: Mm. Well, Alex did say that you helped her in your own offensive way. CHRIS: Alex said I helped her, huh? Look... just because I tell the truth and just because I say you smell good when you do... and you do... does not mean I'm here to cause trouble. Okay? I really am here to help. HALEY: If that's true...then you can stay. But you are on double-secret probation! Don't screw up. CHRIS: Nice! Haley, let me ask you something... what's the deal with Alex and her boyfriend? HALEY: I'll see you later. CHRIS: Haley. Chris Keller missed you. CHASE'S LOFT Alex is ready to go sleep, Chase is already in the bed. CHASE: How was he... any better? ALEX: Shh! I don't want to talk about him. I'm kissing my boyfriend. CHASE: That's a great answer. ALEX: The only thing better than waking up with you is ending the night with you. CHASE: Hmm. (They kiss) STREET Brooke drives for the twins. Clay walks away in the night. SOUND STAGE Julian enters and looks at it. NALEY'S HOUSE Dan enters in the Lydia's room to take her in his arms.

(Nathan enters in the room and sees Dan with his daughter in his arms) NATHAN(Voice-over): They say it's our worst nightmare...the face of our darkness. DAN: Hello, son. Welcome home.

I thought Quinn made that up. CHRIS: That song pays my rent. ALEX: But you were kind of a big deal. CHRIS: Whoa. Chris Keller's still a big deal. I just...I just missed some opportunities back then.

I've tried discussing it with him, but I always chicken out. And he's getting worse. JERRY: Okay. I'll do it. MILLICENT: No, I'll do it. But if it goes poorly, I need you to back me up.

BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian eat all Victoria's cake. Victoria is upset. JULIAN: Mmm. This coffee cake was really good. VICTORIA: A fashion line with her father. JULIAN: I'm sure she would love to have you involved. VICTORIA: I know he's doing this on purpose. I can just see that stupid, smug face of his smoking one of those disgusting cigars and laughing that despicable laugh. JULIAN: You guys really loved each other. VICTORIA: You watch it. How come when you thought I was a thrat to Brooke's happiness, you gave me this big talk about being good to her and when Ted's in the picture, you just sit there with that ridiculous haircut, eating bacon and cracking wise? JULIAN: What's wrong with my haircut? VICTORIA: How come he gets a free pass? JULIAN: He doesn't get a free pass. I just want Brooke to be happy.

CLAY: You're saying it's all in my head? D.HUDSON: Not definitively. But all your tests look fine. Have you ever seen a psychiatrist? CLAY: So, you don't think there's anything actually wrong with me? QUINN: Clay, she's just trying to help. CLAY: A long time ago, I saw a psychiatrist. D.HUDSON: Can I ask why? CLAY: My wife passed away, and my doctor thought it would help to talk to someone. D.HUDSON: And did it? CLAY: No. Not really. You know, that was a long time ago. I don't think that's what's affecting me. I just need to sleep better. So isn't there some kind of treatment or prescription you can recommend? QUINN: Why did you suggest a psychiatrist, Dr. Hudson? D.HUDSON: Well, historically, many sleep disorders are triggered by something psychological. CLINN'S HOUSE Clay doesn't want to see a psychiatrist. QUINN: Why wouldn't you? CLAY: Cause it's weird. QUINN: It's not weird. It might help. CLAY: And it might not. QUINN: Clay, if seeing a psychiatrist is going to help you, then go see a psychiatrist. Why are you being so stubborn? CLAY: How am I being stubborn? QUINN: You didn't even want to go to the doctor. You said you were fine. Then I wake up, and you're nowhere to be found. And this isn't getting better. Do you understand what this feels like? CLAY: How would you like to be the one wandering around the countryside? QUINN: I wouldn't want to be. But if I was and seeing a psychiatrist could stop it, then I would go in a second. I think it's terrible what's happening to you. But this is happening to me, too. I feel so panicked because you're out there and you're not yourself. And I'm worried that someone is going to hurt you or something bad is going to happen to you. CLAY: I know. But just let me try this new medication, and let's see what happens. I have an agency to run. I have to go to Europe now that Nate's back. I know that this is our problem. It's not just mine. But I have a life to live. QUINN: And what about tonight? What if it happens again? CLAY: I don't know. We'll handcuff me to the bed. QUINN: Clay... CLAY: I'm serious. You know, why not? It might be fun. TV SET The show is going to start. Millicent couldn't talks with Mouth about weight issues. MILLICENT: I couldn't do it. JERRY: You didn't talk to him? MILLICENT: I didn't know how. It's not an easy subject to just bring up. JERRY: What's the problem? You just say, "I think you're really plumping up there, jumbo." MILLICENT: You better not say it like that. JERRY: Me? MILLICENT: Yes. You. JERRY: Fine. I will talk to him. MILLICENT: Good. Here he comes. MARVIN: Hey. MILLICENT: Hey, honey. MARVIN: What's up, Jerry? JERRY: Have a good show. MARVIN: Thanks.

DAN: Haley, I just wanted to say thanks again for taking me in. HALEY: Thank you. DAN: I assume that it caused some conflict between you and Nathan. I know you're smart enough to know that it was going to in advance... So thank you. HALEY: Dan, not a day goes by that I don't miss Keith or hate you for what you did to him... And to Nathan and to our entire family. I have no sympathy for you. But if there is such a thing as rehabilitation or forgiveness, then I believe a person should have the opportunity to prove that they've changed. That's why you're here. TV SET Millicent and Mouth makes their show. MILLICENT: So, once your rum ignites, you wait for the flames to subside. Then you scoop your ice cream into a bowl. And then you top it with your sauce. MOUTH: And then you eat it, the whole thing, and you definitely don't share. (He eats) SOUND STAGE Brooke comes to see Julian. He paints. JULIAN: hey, baby. How was your meeting? BROOKE: Awesome. My dad thinks he might have an investor for the company. JULIAN: Wow. That was fast. How would he like to invest in a failing sound stage, too? BROOKE: It isn't failing. It's just starting out. JULIAN: Well, I'm happy for you. And it's gonna make your mom insane. BROOKE: Yeah. Probably so. JULIAN: No, not probably. Definitely. She spent the entire morning raking your dad over the coals and trying to recruit me. BROOKE: Like, what did she say? JULIAN: She said it was irresponsible of me to trust him with you and that I should be trying to break you two up. BROOKE: Is that right? BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke comes home angering with Victoria. BROOKE: Are you really so thrat that my well-being means nothing to you? VICTORIA: You sound upset. BROOKE: I am upset. VICTORIA: Well, good. That makes two of us. BROOKE: What do you have to be upset about? VICTORIA: Well, I'm not getting any younger. I'm not having any sex. And my conniving ex-husband comes into town to steal my daughter and my daughter's fashion line from me. BROOKE: First of all, ew. Second of all, daddy didn't steal anything. You said no, mom. VICTORIA: I said, "not yet." And really? Daddy? When has he ever been a father to you? BROOKE: People change, mother. VICTORIA: Not him. And why do you need his approval or his affection anyway? BROOKE: Because he's my father. VICTORIA: And a poor excuse for one at that. And yet you completely disregard my feelings in some desperate attempt to get him to love you... More. Get him to love you more. BROOKE: Okay. Do you understand how ridiculous it is that I have to make clothes to get my parents' attention? VICTORIA: Brooke... BROOKE: That unless I spin the straw into gold or attract investors, you two chime in on holidays at best? Yet I still do it. Why? Because I have some insane notion that someday the clothes are gonna bring us closer and that maybe, just maybe, my parents will actually want to spend time with me. VICTORIA: You're right. You're right. You should be able to do whatever you like with your father. And I should be able to wish you the best and hope that it brings every great happiness. But I can't. VICTORIA: Mom... Mom! RED BEDROOM RECORDS Alex's song is over. ALEX: Okay, as much as I hate to say it...and, trust me, I really hate to say it... you were right. CHRIS: Of course I was right. And that song's a ht with a little bit of radio, some luck, and a lot of touring. ALEX: I'm gonna take the luck and the radio. CHRIS: It's not enough. You got to tour. You got to go from east coast to west coast. You play every night, and, girl, you turn around and do it again. But here's the good news. There's an opening slot on a great tour, and I can get it for you. ALEX: Um, hello? I have a boyfriend here, and I'm mixing my album. CHRIS: I can mix the record. And this tour is more important than your boyfriend. ALEX: Don't say that. And, besides, if it's so great, then why don't you take the tour? CHRIS: Pbht! Chris Keller doesn't open. Chris Keller headlines. ALEX: Yeah. The toaster pastry tour. Sorry. CHRIS: No. That's fair. Look, you asked me what happened to my career, and I told you I made some mistakes. Most of them had to do with not realizing the opportunities I had... Not being smart enough to understand how fragile they were. This tour is one of those opportunities for you. The younger version of me might have passed. This version wouldn't. SOUND STAGE Alex visits Julian. She needs to advices. ALEX: Don't you need some actors or maybe a writer? JULIAN: I had both of those things, and she wanted to be a musician... And a good one. Hi. ALEX: Hi. JULIAN: So, tell me you came to rent out my sound stage. ALEX: Oh. I wish. I just need some advice. JULIAN: Great. It's free when you rent out my sound stage. All right. What's up? ALEX: I have the chance to go on a tour, but the last time I left town, I almost lost chase. JULIAN: But you guys are in better place now. ALEX: We are, but... Don't you miss it? Being in a new city and telling stories and playing dress-up and just being a part of it all? JULIAN: Yeah, I do. But I have a family now, Alex. And I want to be around to watch them grow. But I get it. You know, what we do is like running away and joining the circus, and for a lot of us, it's hard to give that up. ALEX: I'm such a gypsy. I love roaming about and living out of a suitcase. JULIAN: So, maybe chase will understand that. If not, one of you is gonna have to change. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Millicent is ready to run. She asks Mouth to join her. MILLICENT: Hey, I'm going for a run. Do you want to go? MOUTH: Oh, no, thanks. I think I'm just gonna watch the game. MILLICENT: How about you record it and spend some time with me? MOUTH: Yeah, I'm just kind of tired. But I got a spot right here on the couch for you when you're done. MILLICENT: Okay, well, don't give that spot away. I'll be back in a bit. MOUTH: I'll be here. CHASE'S LOFT Chase puts Alex's clothes in his closet. CHUCK: You know, if Alex were a guy, we would have been done hours ago. CHASE: If Alex was a guy, she would not be moving in with me. CHUCK: I'm just saying. What is all this stuff? CHASE: It's girl stuff, Chuck. CHUCK: I know. But why? I mean, my mom has all this crap, too. But what do guys have? Clothes and soap. Geez. CHASE: One of these days you'll appreciate the effort girls make. CHUCK: Whatever. I don't know if girls like me that much. I mean, I try to be nice to them. But they always make me seem like a dork. CHASE: Well, that part never changes. But don't worry about it. Just be yourself and be nice, and at some point, hmm, probably right after a terrible breakup when you're absolutely not looking for a girlfriend, you'll meet the right girl. CHUCK: Wonder if Chris Keller has a girlfriend. CHASE: Mm, I'm not sure Chris Keller is the girlfriend type. CHUCK: What's that supposed to mean? CHASE: It means, have you seen his hair? CHUCK: My mom's magazines say that Chris Keller can have any girl he wants. But he probably just rolls solo like me. CHASE: You know, you were supposed to put him in his place. CHUCK: Well, yeah. That was before Chuck Skolnick knew how cool Chris Keller really was. CHASE: Really? Third person? CHUCK: I'm just trying it out. CHASE: Well, don't. Your new pal Chris called my girlfriend's song "crappy." CHUCK: He liked my song. Maybe her song is crappy. CHASE: Dude, I'm about to banish you. CHUCK: What? Chuck Skolnick tells it like it is. CHASE: Hey, stop it with the third person! NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan is ready to go in Europe. NATHAN: Should be a week or so. Got a couple meetings and that showcase in Belgrade, and then I'll be back. HALEY: And are you gonna talk to Dan? NATHAN: I'm about to. That should be fun. HALEY: I should have talked to you. NATHAN: That's fine. It's just Dan Scott sleeping in my guest room. How much worse can it get? (Someone pushes on ring-bell) NATHAN: Why do I say these things? CHRIS: Well, well... Nathan Scott. NATHAN: Chris Keller. What are you doing here? CHRIS: I run red bedroom records. Didn't Haley tell you? NATHAN: Apparently my wife no longer tells me things. HALEY: It was... CHRIS: Quiet. Discreet. I like it. HALEY: Don't come in. What do you want? CHRIS: Um, I heard Nathan was leaving. HALEY: How did you hear Nathan was leaving? CHRIS: Your sister told Alex, who told me. Anyway, I just came by to say if you need anything while Nathan's gone... and I mean anything... you just let old Chris Keller know. H-Haley, I really have changed. CLINN'S HOUSE Clay is near the swimming pool, Quinn joins him. QUINN: Hi, handsome. CLAY: Hey. QUINN: What you thinking? CLAY: Just feeling sorry for myself. I was in such a dark place after Sara died. And then we're in the hospital and rehab. I just want things to be normal. I want to close my eyes to you, wake up to you, and live our lives together. QUINN: There's nothing I want more than that. And maybe a psychiatrist can get us there. CLAY: Yeah. But I'm hoping this new medication does the trick, because if it's physical, I'm sick. But if it's in my head, I'm just crazy. QUINN: You're not crazy. CLAY: Well... QUINN: Maybe you're a little crazy, but I still love you. And I always will. CHASE'S LOFT Alex comes in. CHASE: Hi. ALEX: What's my surprise? CHASE: What, no "hello" first? ALEX: Hi. What's my surprise? CHASE: Okay. Come with me. (He shows his closet with Alex's clothes) CHASE: Ta-da! ALEX: You used my money to buy my own clothes? CHASE: I wasn't taking your money. I was taking your room key. ALEX: Why? CHASE: I want you to live here... With me. ALEX: What? CHASE: Chuck helped me move all your stuff in today. Check it out. Glasses are on the end table. Your blue sky picture's here. And all the stuff you don't need to look beautiful is here, too. Now, I know it seems like a big step, but I think it's the right step because I love you... Alice whitehead. Alex and chase had sex. They talk now. ALEX: When you think about your life, like, the life you want to have someday, what do you see? CHASE: This. ALEX: And this makes you happy? CHASE: Yeah. ALEX: Mm. CHASE: You? ALEX: Yeah. CHASE: It's okay. ALEX: What? CHASE: That you didn't say "I love you" back. I gave you the key, showed you all your stuff, and said, "I love you." And you didn't say it back. And that's okay. ALEX: You caught me off guard. CHASE: I know. ALEX: It was a lot to process. CHASE: I know. That's why I said it's okay. ALEX: You love me. CHASE: Mm, who says? ALEX: You said it. You said, "I love you, Alice whitehead." CHASE: If you keep teasing me, I'm taking it back. ALEX: Hey. First of all, mean. Second of all, you can't take it back. No takey backsies. CHASE: "No takey backsies"? ALEX: Yes. I don't know much, Chase Adams, but I do know that once those words are said, you can't take them back. CHASE: That's fine. I meant what I said, anyway. ALEX: Do you really think I don't love you? CHASE: Uh, I think that we haven't been together that long. And I think... ALEX: Because I do. I love you, chase Adams. CHASE: Good. No takey backsies. Say it again. ALEX: I love you. You know that? BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian plays with twins in their room. Brooke sees them. BROOKE: I love you. You know that? JULIAN: I'll take it, but why am I getting it? BROOKE: 'Cause you deal with the madness of your family and the madness of my family and me, and you just roll with it. And because you won't make our kids start a fashion line just to spend time with you. JULIAN: Fashion line? No way. Both these guys are gonna play for the Dodgers, and then maybe my dad will finally love me. Right? BROOKE: Can you say "baseball"? RESTAURANT Ted lunches, Victoria joins him. TED: I think I'll have the fish. On second thought, I just lost my appetite. Bring me a double Martini and sh*t of Botox for my guest. VICTORIA: And whatever you have for erectile dysfunction. He needs that, too. TED: Speaking of erectile dysfunction, hi, Vicky. VICTORIA: I'm gonna tell you something, and for the first time in your life, I want you to listen to it and agree to it. TED: Yeah, fine. I'll rock your world one more time. VICTORIA: Whatever you're doing with this company and for whatever reasons, I want you to remember that your daughter loves you desperately and desperately needs you to love her back. TED: She told me she came to you first. We might be able to cut you in. I was thinking I might need an assistant. VICTORIA: Make your jokes, Ted. Wallow in the fact that you think you've taken something from me. But do not... do not... break your daughter's heart, or so help me God, you won't be rocking anyone's world. You'll have nothing left to rock it with. TED: My God, you're sexy when you're all fired up. VICTORIA: My God, I was an idiot when I married you. CHASE'S LOFT Alex looks at her stuff in the loft.

He came! In fact lots of people came. Julian: That’s a pretty good story Jamie. Guess I just need to have a little faith huh?

Quinn: You fooled me! , you fooled me into feeling sorry for you and I stayed awake worried sick about you! How could you! Clay: Quinn wait! Quinn! AT MILLIE AND MOUTH’S WORK Mouth: This guy says he’s faced this kind of discrimination his whole life and watching me endure it literally hurt his heart. Millie: Yeah… I’m sure it has nothing to do with the carton of Twinkies he eats everyday…Fine I was unprofessional and rude and for that I apologize Mouth: Now was that so hard? Thank you Millie: Marvin I am not finished. What you need to understand is that it came from a place of love, I am genuinely concerned for your health, and I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings but I am not going to sit here and watch you eat yourself to death.

SKILLS: Are you and mouth fighting? MILLICENT: No. Well... yes. Sort of. I mean, I wouldn't really call it fighting. It's more of me being concerned about something and Marvin not being as concerned. And... This couch is surprisingly comfortable, so... (Mouth joins them) MOUTH: We had a fight. She wouldn't sleep by me. What? SKILLS: Damn, Dawg. You fat. Whoo! NALEY'S HOUSE Haley gives eat to Lydia, Quinn arrives. HALEY: My baby want a biscuit? Hmm? Oh, look who's here! It's aunt Quinnie bear!Hey. You don't look so good.

QUINN: Uh, between his confession and the gn I had pointed at my face last night, yeah, I'm sure. HALEY: Oh, my God. QUINN: I went inside, and... and he was gone. And I was... I was worried something terrible happened to him, so I went to his drug dealer, and I confronted him. HALEY: You what?! You have to call the police. QUINN: What if they throw Clay in jail? I can't have this get any worse. Hales, I don't know what to do. Okay? He wants me to give up on him, but I-I won't give up on him. HALEY: Okay, well, come here. First of all, it's gonna be okay, and we're gonna get him some help. We'll figure this out. QUINN: Just don't tell Nathan, okay? Not yet. (Dan hears the conversation) BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian wakes up and sees Brooke and the kids aren't here. NALEY'S HOUSE Nathan talks with his family by web-cam. NATHAN(at web-cam): Look what daddy get you, Lydia. Mirna moose. Say "moose." HALEY: Aww! Can you say "moose"? Moose. Oh, I miss you, Nathan Scott. NATHAN(at web-cam): I miss you, too.

MILLICENT: Morning, Tree Hill. It's a sunshiny day, and we've got a very special treat for you. And by "treat," I don't mean 15-minute casseroles. MOUTH: But don't worry. You can catch that segment, along with some easy recipes, online. MILLICENT: But who cares about casserole when we get to talk to the person responsible for some of Hollywood's most exciting sports sequences. Please welcome our dear friend Antwon Taylor. (Skills arrives) MOUTH: So, now, Antwon, now, you've just returned from working on a big basketball movie. Why don't you tell everybody a little bit about what you do? SKILLS: Okay, well, I'm a sports choreographer. And basically what I do is, I come up with all the plays that look good on film. People say that I'm the Mike McCarthy or Phil Jackson of all the sports scenes in movies. MOUTH: People say that? SKILLS: No. MILLICENT: Antwon, you must have to be in really good shape. SKILLS: Yeah, I mean, it helps to be, because I... MOUTH: He's not a personal trainer. He's a choreographer. SKILLS: Oh, yeah, that's right. MILLICENT: But you must have to work out a ton so that you can demonstrate for your actors what you need them to do. SKILLS: Yeah. MOUTH: He just needs to know the sport, Millie. MILLICENT: I'm only suggesting he's in good shape, Marvin. MOUTH: And nobody's disagreeing with you, Millie, but it's not what we were talking about. SKILLS: I think what we're talking about is your weight. Millie said her viewers did agree with her that, uh, you could shed a few pounds. MOUTH: Well, that's her fan base. My fan base disagrees. SKILLS: Yeah, you know what, Millie? That was kind of messed up... How you called your boy fat on TV. I mean, how would you feel if you became hungry hippo and mouth called you out on a TV show? I'm thinking pretty bad. Plus, you know, mouth would get fired if he ever called you fat. 'Cause people would lose they minds. I'm just saying. So... what else is going on besides mouth getting fat? CLUB TRIC Chris comes all happy and upsets Chase. CHRIS: Yo! Whoo! So, did you wear her ass out or what? CHASE: Stop talking, please. CHRIS: Come on! Chris Keller needs visuals. What was her name? CHASE: "Not Alex." CHRIS: Dude, you got to let that go, man. CHASE: No, she's... never mind. I can't remember anything that happened. CHRIS: Classy. CHASE: Yeah. I was hoping you'd be able to tell me something. CHRIS: Can't. Chris Keller crashed early. But you did text me that you love me like a brother and that you met a girl who was like an exotic flower in a cluster of blue-moon, ice-cream-colored carnations. Like I could make that up. Dude, please tell me you got her number. CHASE: Yeah. CHRIS: Boom! Can you call her? Just ht her up, please. I want to meet this exotic flower. Okay. Okay. Well, Chris Keller's gonna go, then. I got platinum to produce. PARK Dan is sitting near Clay's dealer. DEALER(at phone):Yeah. Yeah. Dimitri, I got it, all right? (He hangs up) DAN: My grandkids play in this park. DEALER: Yeah, let me guess... The two ugly kids. DAN: You had a run-in with my family last night... The girl and her boyfriend. DEALER: Yeah, well, you know all kinds of losers, don't you? Why don't you get up, man? [ Chuckles ] DAN: You ever check out that park in Pickerington? DEALER: No. DAN: You should. That's not a suggestion. DEALER: Look. The people I roll with... They could erase you, man. DAN: Yeah, maybe. But before they do, you'll be dad. DEALER: Is that a thrat?! 'Cause I don't do so good with thrat! Get up. DAN: Relax. It's not a thrat... It's a promise. If I catch you near my family again, I'll kll you. KAREN'S CAFE Brooke tells what was happened with Davis. BROOKE: It could have been really bad, Haley. If nobody had noticed Davis, it could have been really bad. You know, I understand... Forgetting your phone or your keys or forgetting to turn off the curling iron, but your own baby? Who depends on you for everything? HALEY: Brooke, the important thing to remember is that Davis is okay.He looks like he's more than okay. BROOKE: I know. I know. Hey, can I ask why Dan has been around? I mean, isn't Nathan gonna be really mad? HALEY: Yeah, it's just... It's temporary. He... he needed help for a little while. BROOKE: We're gonna have to so something about that stupid sign. STREET Julian goes to see his car where Davis was. TREE HILL CAFE Mouth and skills lunch. SKILLS: I would hate to be that stack. MOUTH: We're doing a segment called "perfect pancakes," and I heard this place can serve them up. SKILLS: Mm-hmm. MOUTH: Dude, the ratings are huge. I have a responsibility to the show... To my fans, you know? We got to keep the ratings big. SKILLS: Yeah, well, you keep on buttering that stack like that, you're gonna be bigger than the ratings. Look, let me ask you a question. How is it that you can leave your job in Omaha for Millie, but you can't take care of your health for her? It's not fair. Brooke and Haley enters in the cafe and boys eating. BROOKE: Seriously? MOUTH: Um, the food was free? SKILLS: That's part of the problem right there. BROOKE: I just... not now. HALEY: Excuse me. I... WAITRESS: Welcome to Tree Hill café. I'll be happy to help you in one sec. If you could just hop in line. BROOKE: Mm. I cannot believe those two. Have they never heard of loyalty? WAITRESS; Hi, ladies! What can I get for you? HALEY: Hi. I was wondering if you could remove the slanderous sign that's hanging outside of your building. The one that says "Karen's café hires mrder." WAITRESS: I can't. The owner wanted it up. BROOKE: Listen... I've had a really bad week, and I'm a little thin on patience, so either you go take that sign down, or I'm gonna climb up there, rip it down, and shove it up your owner's... HALEY: Okay, I would really appreciate it if you could tell your owner that we'll be in touch. WAITRESS: Sure. Free mini-muffin? BROOKE: Oh, and choke on stale dog crap? No, but thank you. Come on, babies. (To Skills and Mouth) drop your forks. Drop 'em! Let's go. HALEY: Just go! CLUB TRIC Chris comes in. CHRIS: Dude, did you text "not Alex" yet? CHASE: Nope. CHRIS: Weak, man! CHASE: I mean, she's pretty cool and... really hot. But... I'm not sure I'm ready. CHRIS: Dude, are you on your period? (Tara comes in) TARA: Hi, baby. CHRIS: Well, how's Chris Keller's lady doing? Mmm. GARAGE The mechanic finished to repair Julian's car. MECHANIC: Hey, man. Car's ready. It's like nothing ever happened. (Julian brokes the glass) JULIAN: an you fix it again? I'll wait. PLAGE Clay walks in the sea and Dan comes to him. DAN: How many times do we have to do this before you stop being a jackass?! CLAY: What the hell are you doing?! DAN: Do you realize you put my family in danger?! Jamie and Lydia play in that park, the one where you buy your drugs! My son's your partner, and you're a junkie! (Dan puts Clay in the water) CLAY: I'm not doing drugs! DAN: No?! Then why are you buying them?! CLAY: I don't remember! DAN: You don't remember or are too stoned to? CLAY: I don't remember! I don't remember! I lied! DAN: Lied? Why?! CLAY: Because I didn't want to scare Quinn, all right? I don't remember how I got there. I can't remember how I got home! I can't remember anything. (Quinn sees that) DAN: Well, fix it before someone gets hurt. CLINN'S HOUSE Clay and Quinn talks. QUINN: Why didn't you tell me the truth? CLAY: Because I don't know what's happening, and I didn't want to scare you. QUINN: The only thing that scares me is the thought of you shutting me out. I just want you to be okay. CLAY: More than anything, I want to tell you that I will be... But I can't, 'cause I don't know what's wrong with me. I mean, the sleepwalking... I-it's happening during the day. You know, one minute, I'm somewhere, and the next minute, I come out of it, and I'm Miles away from where I started, and I don't remember any of it. I'm gonna get help. QUINN: Listen to me. You're gonna be okay. I need you to believe that, 'cause I do, and I'm never gonna stop. CLUB TRIC Chris is still at Tric with Tara. CHRIS: Chase, buddy, uh, two more slippery nipples. CHASE: Um, I thought you had platinum records to produce. CHRIS: Oh, Chris Keller needs some inspiration. Hey, uh, come tell Tara about that hot chick you made sweet, sweet monkey love to last night. Is she showing up here or what? Oh, dude, don't worry about her. She can hang. You can't offend this one. TARA: Yeah, it's totally cool. You can talk about her in front of me. I can handle it. CHRIS: What'd you call her... An exotic flower? TARA: You called her an exotic flower? That is so boyish and sweet. CHRIS: Dude, how was her ass? Ass matters. Does "not Alex" have a good ass? TARA: Does she? CHASE: Um... I-I don't know. I got to... I'll be in the stockroom. KAREN'S CAFE Julian drink a coffee. Haley comes to him. HALEY: Hey. How you doing? JULIAN: Brooke's not here. HALEY: Yeah, she went out for a little bit. I haven't seen my family at all today. I don't blame her. I don't know if I'll ever trust myself with them again. I'm not sure how I could have let something like this happen. HALEY: When, uh, when Jamie was 5, I think...Nathan and I were in the kitchen at night, arguing. And I remember looking out the window, and I saw him playing basketball by the pool. Somewhere, between all the yelling and the next time I looked out, he had disappeared and, uh, I went outside... And he was floating, facedown in the pool. And we didn't know how long he'd been out there. And, um...Nathan pulled him in. And eventually, he coughed, and... he cried. But he was okay and i felt like I had damaged him. I felt like the worst parent in the world, and it took me a really long time to forgive myself for that. But I did eventually, and you will, too, because your babies aren't going anywhere. Your job doesn't end. And the best that we, as parents, can do is just love them with all of our hearts and... Try and do better next time. RESTAURANT Mouth and Millie eat in a restaurant. MILLCENT: I hear the scallops are great here. MOUTH: You were right to call me fat. I've gained weight. And it's not fair to you that I'm not taking better care of myself. WAITER: The chef's very pleased to have you dining with us, Mr. McFadden. Could I start you with an appetizer... Perhaps our sweet corn ravioli with truffle butter? MOUTH: I'll have the house salad, please... no dressing. WAITER: Certainly. And for your main course? MOUTH: Just the salad. Thanks. MILLICENT: I'll have the same. HOSPITAL CENTRE Clay visits his doctor. DR. ALCAVEZ: It's good to see you, Clay. It's been a while. How have you been? CLAY: Well, things could be better. DR. ALCAVEZ: What about Sara? Do you still see her, have conversations with her? CLAY: No. DR. ALCAVEZ: Have you met someone else? CLAY: Her name's Quinn. DR. ALCAVEZ: She's real. Is it serious? CLAY: Yeah, uh... She's pretty amazing. DR. ALCAVEZ: That's good, Clay. That's very good. Well, I've, uh, reviewed your file, and, um, I've got good news and bad news. The, uh, the good news is that we can help you. The bad news... at least, you might think so... Is that... I think you should admit yourself... Until we get a handle on this. CLAY: But I thought this was just a session for us to talk about stuff. DR. ALCAVEZ: I think this is more serious than that. CLAY: So you want to lock me up? DR. ALCAVEZ: Admittance is voluntary, of course, but with prolonged blackouts, you're a thrat to yourself and to others, outside of a safe environment. I think you should stay here, Clay, and if you do, we will fix this. I promise. KAREN'S CAFE Haley is ready to go, Brooke stay a while. BROOKE: Are you excited to see Nathan tonight? HALEY: Ohh, I can't wait. You know, Julian stopped by today. Brooke, you have to forgive him. BROOKE: How am I gonna trust him with them again? HALEY: You trust him because... He's a great father and he's a great husband and he's your best friend. He loves you and these boys more than anything. He needs you to trust him, especially now. BROOKE: I was just so scared. HALEY: But if it had happened to you,you know how awful you'd feel, and you know that his love would probably be the only thing that could help you forgive yourself. BROOKE: I know. You're right. HALEY: Okay! Ready? BROOKE: Yeah. I'm ready. Brooke and Haley puts a slanderous sign for Tara. BROOKE: Okay, take it a little to the right. A little lower. Wait, wait. A little higher. Yeah. HALEY: Are you sure it's not too juvenile? BROOKE: No. If they're not gonna play nice, then neither are we. This is a very special set of circumstances. You guys have different rules. You have to play nice all the time, okay? HALEY: Looks right? BROOKE: That's perfect. (Tara sees them) TARA: Mm, not quite. You two have 30 seconds to get off my property, or I'm calling the cops. BROOKE: Haley, let's go! Go, go, go! CLUB TRIC All guys take a drink and talks about their problems. CHASE: Guilt sucks. I mean, I didn't even want to hook up with anyone. And then I find out "not Alex" has a boyfriend. It's bad enough that I miss Alex, but now I got to be the douchey pig that hooks up with someone else's girl. And I know the guy. How bad is that? JULIAN: I left my kid in the car. The police questioned me about my ability to be a parent. CHASE: Oh. Sorry, man. CLAY: Well, it turns out I'm crazy, so... who wants to trade? I'll take being an accidental cheater or a bad father over being the guy who blacks out and roams around town with no memory of it. No? I didn't think so. MOUTH: I thought being called fat on air by Millie was bad. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley enters in Jamie's bedroom. The kid is in his computer. HALEY: Hey, kiddo. What are you doing? JAMIE: Tracking dad's flight. HALEY: You are? JAMIE: Yeah. It's pretty cool. Right now, he's over the ocean, and he flew over France and Germany, too. He's gonna land on time. HALEY: You're not excited to see him at all, are you? I'm pretty excited. Yeah? Well, how about I wake you up after he gets home? JAMIE: Okay. HALEY: All right. Let's go to bed. JAMIE: Mom? HALEY: Yeah? JAMIE: Does grandpa Dan really have to leave when dad gets home? HALEY: Yeah, I'm afraid he does, honey. JAMIE: Well, it's been real nice having him around. HALEY: Yeah. I know you've been having a lot of fun. JAMIE: Well, maybe dad will let him stay. HALEY: Maybe. JAMIE: Night, mom. HALEY: Good night, honey. Love you. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Mouth picks some food in the night. CHASE'S LOFT Tara comes in. CHASE: Not Alex. This is a surprise. TARA: It's Tara... nerd. So, you gonna let me in? CHASE: I'd... love to, but that's probably not a good idea. I really didn't know you had a boyfriend... And that your boyfriend is Chris Keller. So, what we did... Well, it can't really happen again. TARA: What if it's our little secret? CHASE: Yeah? No, no. Um... Secrets aren't really my thing. TARA: Why... because you can't keep them or you don't want them? CHASE: Both. And even if you weren't someone else's girl, I'm... There's still Alex. TARA: Really? Where? Because I don't see her. Oh, yeah, that's just because she's a painful, annoying memory. Don't you want someone who's going to help you forget...someone who had 10... HOSPITAL CENTRE Quinn accompanies Clay to the hospital center. QUINN: It's gonna be okay. I mean, you said you wanted to close your eyes to me... And you wanted to wake up to me and that you wanted to live your life with me. It's gonna happen. CLAY: You promise? QUINN: Yeah, I promise. CLAY: I love you. QUINN: I love you, too. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley joins Dan in the terrace. DAN: Nice night. HALEY: Yeah, it is. So, um, I just wanted to say thank you for all your help with the kids while Nathan was gone. Jamie can't stop talking about camping in the backyard. DAN: I love that kid. I'm happy I could spend the time with him. HALEY: Well, uh, Nathan's coming home tonight, so... DAN: I know. And once he gets here, I'll leave. HALEY: Okay. JULIAN'S CAR Brooke joins Julian in the car. It's hot inside. JULIAN: I can't only forgive myself for being so careless. I almost took away the one thing that matters most to us. You wanted a baby more than anything. You waited and you prayed, and you had a miracle happen. Your dream came true. And then, in one moment... In one horrible, stupid moment, I almost took that away from you. BROOKE: But you didn't. Stop. But you didn't. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley calls Nathan in his phone. HALEY(at phone): Hi. It's me again. Um... Just calling to make sure everything's okay. I'm assuming maybe you took a later flight. Just call me when you get this, okay? Bye. AIRPORT Nathan isn't here and we see Mirna Moose on the floor in front of the airport. End of the episode.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "09x04 - Don't You Want to Share the Guilt?"}	foreverdreaming
PREVIOUSLY ON ONE TREE HILL NATHAN: I'm sorry for what happened to your diner. All right, and I appreciate the way you've been with my wife and my family, but when I come back, you need to be gone. CHRIS: Well, well. NATHAN: Chris Keller. What are you doing here? CHRIS: I run red bedroom records. HALEY: I was wondering if you could remove the slanderous sign that's hanging outside of your building. HALEY: Are you sure it's not too juvenile? BROOKE: No. If they're not gonna play nice, then neither are we. TARA: You two have 30 seconds to get off my property, or I'm calling the cops. CLAY: A lot of people sleepwalk. QUINN: They don't get dressed, grab their phone, and go sleep in a park. You said you wanted to close your eyes to me and that you wanted to live your life with me. CLAY: I'm gonna get help. QUINN: It's gonna happen. TARA: I left my number in your phone. It's under "N" for "not Alex." CHRIS: Well, how's Chris Keller's lady doing? NATHAN: Look what daddy got you, Lydia... Mirna Moose. HALEY: Just calling to make sure everything's okay. Just call me when you get this, okay? BROOKE: What happened? JULIAN: I forgot. I just... Forgot. It was at least 101 when I left Davis. I can't forgive myself for this. I can't forgive myself for being so careless. ONE TREE HILL NALEY'S HOUSE Haley tries to get in touch with Nathan. HALEY (at phone): Hi, Nathan. I'm, uh, really sorry to leave you like 20 messages, babe, but I'm... I'm starting to get worried, and, uh, hopefully you took a later flight and you're in the air right now, but please just call me as soon you get this, okay? Okay, I love you. Bye. (She hangs up. Dan enters in the room) DAN: Good morning, Haley. HALEY: Oh, good morning. DAN: Everything okay? HALEY: Actually, would you mind watching the kids today? DAN: I have to be away from the house for a while today. I'm sorry. HALEY: Okay. DAN: You're sure everything's okay? HALEY: Things are fine. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke comes in the kitchen. Julian is still here, sad. BROOKE: Babe, something's up with Haley. I got to run to the café to cover for her. I think she's just trying to avoid that Tree Hill café bitch. Can you believe they had the nerve to put up a mrder banner? I mean, who does that? Julian, are you okay? JULIAN: The police station called. They're not gonna press charges against me. BROOKE: That's great, but of course they're not. Hey. We need to move past this, too. Davis is fine. So, can you drop the kids at the sitter for me on your way to work today? Do you need me to tell you that I think you're an incredible dad and I love you? I do. Both. We're gonna be fine. I trust you, okay? You just...you need to learn to trust yourself. CHASE'S LOFT Chase wakes up and finds out Chuck is here. Tara too. CHUCK: Naughty, naughty. TARA: Who is that? ADAM: Chuck, say hello to Tara. CHUCK: Did you have a sleepover? TARA: Sort of. CHASE: How did you get in here? CHUCK: Took Alex's key. She didn't want it. CHASE: What are you doing here? CHUCK: Just came by to tell you I can't go to the movies 'cause my dad's coming home today. TARA: Ohh. Don't look so sad. You can take me to the movies. Or, better yet, we can stay home and make our own movie. CHASE: His dad? DOCTOR'S OFFICE Clay is in seance with his doc. DOCTOR: How'd you sleep last night? CLAY: Not great. I already miss my bed. And Quinn. But at least I woke up in the same bed, so... Maybe I'm good. DOCTOR: I don't think you're good just yet. Clay, you have what's called a dissociative fugue disorder. CLAY: A fugue disorder? DOCTOR: In short, you temporarily become someone else. People can function normally. They walk, drive, even have a conversation, but when they come to, they can't remember anything. CLAY: Why? I mean, why me? Why now? DOCTOR: Sometimes a traumatic incident can trigger the mind's circuit breaker, causing the lights to go out. Now, my guess is that at some point in your life, you repressed something in order to cope, and now that truth is trying to resurface. CLAY: So I'm like Jason Bourne, except I wake up on merry-go-rounds? DOCTOR: Yeah, without all the shting and chasing. Well, a little shting and chasing. CLAY: So what do I do now? DOCTOR: We dig a little bit. I help you discover that missing information. Once we figure out what it is, the wandering should stop. CLAY: That sounds really, uh, not fun. But, see, here's the thing, doc. Whatever it is I repressed...I-if I repressed it...I don't want to know what it is. So, I think I'm gonna go. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to waste your time. DOCTOR: I'm afraid you can't leave, Clay. You checked yourself in, so now we're responsible for you for at least the next 24 hours. It's just one day. Maybe it'll make a difference. JULIAN'S CAR Julian puts babies in the car. JULIAN: Okay, boys. Here we go. NALEY'S HOUSE Quinn enters in the house. Haley is busing. QUINN: Hey. HALEY: Hey, Quinny. Thanks for coming over. QUINN: What happened? HALEY: Um, Nathan never made it home last night. QUINN: Oh, I mean, I'm sure everything's fine. He probably just missed his flight. No, it's not like him. HALEY: If something had changed, he would have called me by now. QUINN: Well, I mean, maybe he lost his cell phone. HALEY: He knows my number. I don't know... I just think I should call the police. I'd rather be safe than sorry. QUINN: Yeah, of course. I... (Jamie comes in) JAMIE: Is dad home yet? QUINN: Hey, bud. Um, your dad's delayed just a little bit, but, uh, he'll be home soon. And until then, you and Lydia are hanging out with me today. Come on. Let's go get her. (Haley tries again to call Nathan) LOCAL The Haley's call ring in a local. A man takes the phone and throws it in the wall. RED BEDROOM RECORD Chuck comes with Chase to tell some thing to Chris. CHRIS: It's like printing my own money. CHUCK: Hi. CHHRIS: What up, kid Keller? Ha. CHASE: Chuck, just ask him. CHRIS: That's okay. I got it. You're using pomade instead of gel. You got to mix the two. CHUCK: Will you come meet my dad tonight? CHRIS: Sure. You know what? Tell him to bring his Chris Keller CD collection, 'cause for kid Keller, I'll even sign autographs. CHUCK: This is gonna be the best night ever. My two favorite people in the same place. Awesome. CHASE: Don't you have three favorite people? CHUCK: Oh. Right. My mom's gonna be there, too. (Tara comes in too) TARA: There's my baby. CHRIS: Hey-hey! Hey. Mm. Mm. ADAM: Okay, here we go. Let's go. Got to go! CHRIS: That's weird. No wonder chicks don't dig that guy. DOCTOR'S OFFICE Clay is always in therapist. CLAY: So, let me get this straight. We're just gonna talk and talk until we uncover some horrible past? DOCTOR: Doesn't have to be horrible. CLAY: Can't you just give me pills or shock therapy or something? DOCTOR: You know, most people would prefer talking over getting shocked, but I might be able to get my hands on a taser gn. Talking is the treatment, Clay. CLAY: I-I just don't see how it will help when I'm supposedly hiding what we need to talk about. DOCTOR: We'll get there. Talk to me about Sara. CLAY: Yeah, 'cause that's not horrible. She died. DOCTOR: Would you prefer to talk about the painkillers, then? CLAY: I guess I bought some. DOCTOR: You guess? CLAY: Yeah, I don't remember, so I guess. DOCTOR: Okay, what's the last thing you do remember? CLAY: I remember you telling me that this was gonna help. DOCTOR: I'll get the taser. KAREN'S CAFE Millicent is in the cafe and she wants a latte. Brooke doesn't know how use the machine. MILLICENT: Can I get a vanilla latte? BROOKE: Sure! MILLICENT: This is kind of weird...you getting me a latte. BROOKE: Coffee is the new latte. MILLICENT: Do you know how to use that machine? BROOKE: Millie, I am part owner of this cafe. If I wanted to... Do the... Thingy and make the milk all Fluffy-like, I would. MILLICENT: Coffee sounds perfect. BROOKE: Thanks. MILLICENT: Do you have any pistachio muffins? Tara comes in the cafe and she has a plant. TARA: We do. Right next door. Yummy. BROOKE: You have to go. You are not welcome here. TARA: Okay. I put up a banner. You put up a banner. I don't know what got into me. And as you know, Brooke Davis, opening and maintaining a successful business can be very stressful. BROOKE: What is that? TARA: It's a face-to-face friend request. I hope you'll accept. Great. BROOKE: Seriously? I wish there was a face-to-face block feature. Ugh. TRIC Chuck and Chase drink some beer. CHASE: I think we need to talk. CHUCK: I know. First Alex leaves town. Now Tara leaves you for Chris Keller? CHASE: Well, the thing is, Tara didn't leave me. CHUCK: Chase, you need to face the fact that your girlfriend's with Chris Keller now. Can't really blame her. Chris Keller is Chris Keller. CHASE: You're right. CHUCK: Unless... are you dating Chris Keller's girlfriend? CHASE: I'm not sure I'd call it dating. CHUCK: But you must not have known it was Chris Keller's girlfriend, right? CHASE: Well, not at first. CHUCK: Chuck Skolnick has never been more disappointed in you. NALEY'S HOUSE Chris comes in to show the new album song. Haley is ready to go somewhere. HALEY: Yeah, come on in! CHRIS: Hey! Huh? HALEY: I really don't have time for this right now. Ugh. CHRIS: Whoa. Chris Keller's insulted by your lack of enthusiasm. HALEY: Listen to me. Nathan never came home last night. I have been on the phone all morning. The airport won't give me any information. Nobody will help me... CHRIS: Okay, I'll help you. I know some people at the airport. I slept with a stewardess once. HALEY: Goodbye, Chris. CHRIS: Okay, "flight attendant." Haley! Come on. Let me help. Where you going? HALEY: I'm going to the police. CHRIS: Okay, good. I slept with a cop once, too. Let's go! HOSPITAL/KAREN'S CAFE Brooke calls Julian. JULIAN(at phone): Hey. BROOKE(at phone): Hey. I just got off the phone with the sitter. She said you're running late. Everything okay? JULIAN(at phone): No, yeah, everything's fine. I just wanted to spend some more time with the kids. BROOKE(at phone): Oh. Great. That's great. I'll let you get back to them, then. JULIAN(at phone): Okay. Bye, babe. Love you. BROOKE(at phone): I love you, too. Bye. HOSPITAL'S ROOM Julian sees a doctor to know Davis is okay. JULIAN: You can just say it if you want. DOCTOR: I'm not following. JULIAN: You think I'm a horrible dad. DOCTOR: I have seen horrible dads, and you are not one of them. But you are a lucky dad. You should be counting your blessings. JULIAN: Is he okay? DOCTOR: Julian, he's fine. Nothing's changed. Davis is still completely healthy. But I am a little concerned about you. JULIAN: Are you sure he's okay? Because I read online that some symptoms can take a few days to surface. DOCTOR: If you want my professional opinion... You should get this filled immediately. That's one day of rest and relaxation for you. NALEY'S HOUSE Quinn is in the swimming pool with Lydia. Jamie joins them. QUINN: Jamie, come play "Marco polo" with us. Lydia keeps cheating. She won't keep her eyes closed. JAMIE: Maybe later. QUINN: Fine. What's on your mind, little man? JAMIE: Clay. You know, aunt Quinn, it's not his fault when he wanders. QUINN: I know. JAMIE: Here. You should keep my silver dollar on you till Clay gets better. QUINN: Thanks. Is it for good luck? JAMIE: More your luck than his. It's silver. Just trust me on this one. QUINN: Jamie, Clay is not a werewolf. JAMIE: But there's supposed to be a full moon tonight. QUINN: Jamie... JAMIE: You don't have to be afraid. Not all werewolves are bad. Professor Lupin, one of Harry Potter's best teachers. QUINN: Okay, if I promise to keep it on me, will you come play "Marco polo" with us? JAMIE: Deal. But you're Marco. QUINN: Come on. KAREN'S CAFE Millicent explains to Brooke how making a latte with the machine. MILLICENT: So, you just grind the beans, then pack them in the portafilter. Look at that perfect crema. BROOKE: Crema? MILLICENT: The lighter-colored top layer. It's the mark of a great espresso. BROOKE: Oh. MILLICENT: Then, you aerate the milk until you get the consistency you want. BROOKE: I'm sorry. What language are you speaking, and how do you know how to do this? MILLICENT: We did a segment on "mouth and Millie in the morning." You said you watch. BROOKE: I do. But I'm the mother of twins, and sometimes they put on their own morning show. I did catch a clip on YouTube recently. MILLICENT: Let me guess...the one where I call Marvin fat on live television. BROOKE: I think it was more like, "fat. Fat, fat, fat, fat." That's a bold move, Millie. MILLICENT: It was a mean move, and I wish I could take it back. But at least he's eating healthier now. BROOKE: So there's an upside. You are a genius! Hey, is there any way that I could get you guys to do a story on getting rid of Tree Hill cafe bitches? MILLICENT: I'll see what I can do. I can't believe she hung up that banner. Who does that? BROOKE: That's what I said! She's such a little... MILLICENT: Cockroach! BROOKE: Exactly. Hard to get rid of. MILLICENT: Oh, dear! BROOKE: Oh! Please tell me that that did not just really happen. MILLICENT: Okay. Then that's not really happening, either. BROOKE: Sick. TARA'S CAFE Tara talks with the waitress. Chase comes in. TARA: I really don't see what your wedding has to do with me, so why don't you slap a smile on your face and get back to work before I have to find a new server. CHASE: Hey. Hey. I need to talk to you. TARA: Well, great. I'll come by later. I like to talk after sex. CHASE: That's... Just it. There's not gonna be any more of that. I'm setting a bad example for Chuck, and he really looks up to me, so... TARA: I think it's sexy when you try to be noble. Brooke and Millicent saw the last scene. BROOKE: First of all, ew. Second, you copy my cafe and now chase? Obsessed with my sloppy seconds much? You can have your cockroach-infested plant back. TARA: What? This is the thanks I get for giving you a gift? It was perfectly fine when I dropped it off. Oh, my God. The roaches must have come from Karen's cafe. BROOKE: Okay! CHASE: Okay, there must be a reasonable explanation for this. Maybe this is all just a misunderstanding. BROOKE: You are dad to me. And you... I know your type. I used to be a bit of a bitch just for the sake of being one, but now I am a bitch for the sake of my friends and family. You do not want to test that. MILLICENT: Look up "bitch," and you'll see Brooke. BROOKE: Just try me. CHASE: See you, Brooke. BROOKE: dad! TARA: Bye. DOCTOR'S OFFICE Clay doesn't want to talk with the doc. He looks at the window. DOCTOR: Clay, you wouldn't have come here if you didn't want to get better. What are you afraid of? CLAY: Why is there a kid here? DOCTOR: Uh, that's Logan. He lost his parents. He, uh, stays with us sometimes.We try to help him. CLAY: How long's he been coming? DOCTOR: Most of his life. CLAY: Well, I don't have most of my life, doc. I have a business to run. DOCTOR: If you don't try, you'll continue to be at wr with yourself. The fugues will get worse, last longer, put you in more danger. CLAY: Okay, I get that. Now try to understand this. There was a time in my life when I thought I was never getting out of that chasm... just that depression that had become my life after I lost Sara. But I did. I climbed out of it... One day at a time. I worked. I built a company. I fell in love again. DOCTOR: You must miss her. CLAY: There is nothing there, doc. The only thing that is different between the place I was in and the fugue states is that I remember everything about that time, and I'm not going back to that. DOCTOR: Sometimes bad things happen to good people, and I'm sorry about that, Clay, but you are not out of that darkness yet. You're just running from it. All right, look. You know what? Go for a walk. Try to relax. We'll talk later. CLAY: Yeah. DOCTOR: But, Clay... You got to stop running sometime. You deserve to have a normal life. POLICE'S STATION Haley and Chris arrive. HALEY: Excuse me. Um, hi. I just need to talk to someone about my husband. He's, um, Nathan Scott, and... He's missing. POLICEMAN: How long's he been missing? HALEY: Well, he was supposed to come home last night at 9:00, and he... POLICEMAN: We can't file a report till 24 hours have passed. CHRIS: Whoa, whoa. That's it? POLICEMAN: 24 hours. CHRIS: Did you see "training day"? You know Denzel was the bad guy in that movie. HALEY: Chris, don't. You're gonna make it worse. POLICEMAN: I don't like your tone. CHRIS: I don't like lazy cops. HALEY: I'm sorry. POLICEMAN: Look, peacock, we have rules for a reason. Men leave their wives every day, especially professional athletes. CHRIS: Oh, okay, so... You don't even know me. Hey, no, now we're making generalizations. So, you're the jackass in high school who now gets to harass people and carry a gn. Give us a minute. HALEY: Okay. CHRIS: All right, look, buddy. I know this woman. She wouldn't be here if there wasn't a problem. Nathan Scott's a good guy...a great father, a responsible husband. Come on, man. Even if he wasn't, would you leave her? Something's wrong here, I promise. Now, she just needs someone to make her feel better, make her feel like everything's gonna be okay. POLICEMAN: Mrs. Scott? I'll do what I can do, okay? HOSPITAL CENTRE Clay joins Logan who looks at the sky. CLAY: Whatcha looking at? LOGAN: Lost my plane on the roof. CLAY: Ohh, that sucks. What kind of plane is it? LOGAN: You wouldn't know. An edf jet. CLAY: Yeah, you're right. I mean, what would I know about a plane that flies on an electric ducted fan or know about maneuvers like cobras or dizzying flat spins? I used to build model planes with my dad. LOGAN: You can do a cobra? CLAY: Maybe. I don't know. My planes never left the ground. LOGAN: What? Flying's the best part! CLAY: Yeah, I just didn't want to crash. LOGAN: Crashing's the second best part. Do you still make them? CLAY: Uh, no. Not since my dad passed away. LOGAN: Is that why you're staying here? CLAY: No, I'm actually not staying. I'm leaving tonight. LOGAN: I can't believe you never tried to fly. NALEY'S HOUSE Jamie plays in the swimming. Quinn sees him. JAMIE: Cannibal! QUINN: Did you say "cannibal"? JAMIE: Yeah. QUINN: It's "cannonball," not "cannibal." JAMIE: Fine. Cannonball! (Dan comes in) JAMIE: Grandpa Dan, jump in. DAN: Don't tempt me. (To Quinn) So, how's that boyfriend of yours? QUINN: You know, you didn't need to try and drown Clay. DAN: It worked last time. Where is he? QUINN: He's getting help. DAN: Sounds like it worked again. So, how you doing? QUINN: Well, I don't need my head drowned in a pool, if that's what you're asking. I'll be fine when I know Clay's fine. DAN: So you still believe in him? QUINN: Yeah. Then you'll both be okay. JAMIE: Cannonball! TRIC Chase cut some food. Chris comes in. CHRIS: You know why I'm here, right? CHASE: No. What's up? CHRIS: 'Cause I want a drink! What, do you think I'm here to look at your pretty face? CHASE: No, I-I just... CHRIS: Just toss me a beer. I got a bunch of work to do tonight. CHASE: I thought you were gonna swing by and see Chuck later. CHRIS: Who? Oh, kid Keller. I don't know. It's been kind of a crazy day. CHASE: Look, for whatever reason, he thinks you're a good guy. Crazy day or not, don't be a jerk to him. His life's been tough. CHRIS: I heard that when the bartender gives you a tip, you don't have to tip the bartender. Sorry! Thanks, bud. KAREN'S CAFE Julian enters in the cafe to see Brooke. BROOKE: Hey, handsome stranger. Name your poison. JULIAN: Can I get a chai latte? BROOKE: No problem. Wait. Did you say chai? JULIAN: Yeah. Chai is so yesterday. Coffee is the new chai. It was sweet that you spent the morning with the boys. Where'd you go? JULIAN: I took them to the hospital. BROOKE: What happened? Are they okay? JULIAN: The boys are fine, but the doctor thinks I need to take the day off. Don't do that. BROOKE: What? JULIAN: Don't give me that look. The doctor gave me the same kind of sympathetic look. So did the babysitter. I'm tired of people giving me the benefit of the doubt. BROOKE: No one needs to give you the benefit of the doubt. It was a genuine mistake. It was my mistake, too. I knew you were overwhelmed and preoccupied with the stage. You were in a hurry. You were sleep-deprived. I should have seen that. The doctor's right. You just need to take your mind off of it. We both do. Why don't you go see a movie? You need it. AIRPORT Haley comes to airport to have information on Nathan. HOSTESS: There you go. Have a nice flight. HALEY: Hi, I was wondering if you could help me. I really need to know if my husband, Nathan Scott, was on flight 2326 last night. HOSTESS: Okay. Well, I can tell you the flight did arrive in Tree Hill on time last night, but I'm not allowed to disclose any personal information about passengers... I'm sorry. HALEY: I'm his wife. It's okay. HOSTESS: No, I'm sorry. It's protocol. Anything else I can help you with? HALEY: No. Thanks. HOSTESS: Miss. Look, I'm sure everything is just fine. You know, I bet he just... he missed his flight. HALEY: You know, if one more person tells me that, I'm gonna lose my mind. Can you imagine how you'd feel if your husband was missing and no one would help you find him? HOSTESS: Okay. You didn't hear this from me. HALEY: Thank you so much. HOSTESS: Okay, it looks like Nathan Scott was on flight 2326 last night. (Haley goes outside and finds Mirna Moose on the floor) CHUCK'S HOUSE Chase passes to see Chuck. CHASE: Keller said he was sorry. He got held up. Told me to swing by and check on you. CHUCK: I knew Keller wouldn't leave me hanging. CHASE: I can meet your dad if you want. CHUCK: Of course. That's a given. CHASE: But you didn't ask me. CHUCK: Didn't think I had to. CHASE: Is he... is he here yet? CHUCK: No, not yet. Must be running late. Sometimes he's late. CHASE: Then we have time to sh*t some hoops. Think fast. KAREN'S CAFE Julian goes outside and finds a note in his car. He go back in the cafe to shows it to Brooke. JULIAN: Someone put this on my car. BROOKE: Julian. JULIAN: Why did it take a stranger to tell me the truth that I deserve to be punished. BROOKE: Julian... HOSPITAL CENTRE Quinn visits Clay with Jamie and Lydia. CLAY: Look out, world! It's another James girl! Boy, oh, boy, between your mommy's good looks and your daddy's athleticism, you are going to be unstoppable. QUINN: Hey, speaking of, have you heard from Nathan? CLAY: No, why? QUINN: Oh, he, uh, he didn't make it home last night. CLAY: Well, I'm sure he's fine. He always changes flights. He's probably just in the air and can't call. QUINN: So, what can I do for you? Want me to bring you some more stuff from home? CLAY: You know, honestly, I'm thinking about leaving. I'm just not sure that Dr. Alvarez is the right doctor for me. QUINN: Why? What happened? CLAY: He thinks that I'm hiding some big secret from myself and that's what's making me wander. He diagnosed me with a fugue disorder. QUINN: Can it be treated? CLAY: Yeah, I guess most people stop wandering once they've come to terms with whatever triggered it. QUINN: I mean, if you have a diagnosis and a possible cure, why would you want to leave? CLAY: I... What could possibly be bad enough to make my brain shut down? I guess I'm just afraid of what that missing information might be. And I'm afraid of burdening you with more of my struggle. QUINN: It's because you're afraid that you need to stay. JAMIE: You should probably have them reinforce the windows with bars or something. Full moon's a-comin'. QUINN: Get over here. Right now. Give me this coin. You ready? JAMIE: No. QUINN: Well, at least we know you're not a werewolf. JAMIE: Too bad. QUINN: We'll be okay. CHUCK'S HOUSE Chuck and Chase plays basketball until Chuck'dad comes in. CHUCK: Mm. Take that. H-o-r-s. "Horse." I win. CHASE: Uh, "horse" has an "E" in it, Chuck. CHUCK: Yeah. Yeah, I know. I was just joking. CHASE: Mm-hmm. All right, then. Your sht. CHUCK: All right. You know, it's not a big deal if my dad doesn't show. I mean, I'm having fun hanging out with you. CHASE: Thanks, buddy. Maybe we should do something really cool tomorrow. You can decide... anything you want. CHUCK: Really? Anything? CHASE: You name it. Is there something you've always wanted... (Chuck's dad comes in) CHUCK: Dad! CHUCK'S DAD: Hey, hey, hey, buddy! Whoa, look at you! Look at you. How you doing? CHUCK: I'm good. Dad, this is chase. CHUCK'S DAD: You the sitter or something? You want some money? CHASE: Uh, not exactly. I'm... CHUCK'S DAD: Well, his mom will have to pay you later. All right, I got it from here. Thanks. Let's go inside. Look at how big you've gotten! My God. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley is sitting on the couch and is thinking. FLASHBACK, JAMIE'S BEDROOM Haley puts Jamie in his bed. JAMIE: Mom? HALEY: Yes? JAMIE: Does grandpa Dan really have to leave when dad gets home? HALEY: Yeah, honey, I'm afraid he does. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley understands and goes upstairs to seeks Dan's stuff. She finds a Lydia's picture and Jamie's baseball. Dan comes in. DAN: Can I help you with something? HALEY: I thought you said you lost everything in the fre. HOSPITAL CENTRE Clay comes to Logan's room to give him the plan. CLAY: Hey. LOGAN: Thought you were leaving. CLAY: Nah, it looks like I'll be staying a while. I got you something. LOGAN: You got it! Thanks. CLAY: Yeah. I'm Clay. LOGAN: Logan. CLAY: Like Wolverine. He's my favorite superhero of all time. LOGAN: Who? CLAY: You don't know Wolverine? Come on, dude. He's awesome. All right, well, I got to get going, but, um, maybe tomorrow, we can fly that thing? LOGAN: You're not afraid anymore? CLAY: No, I'm still a little bit afraid, but I'm working on it. RED BEDROOM RECORDS Chris takes pictures of Tara who plays. CHRIS: Boom! There it is! All right, now let me show you how to play. Probably easiest if you sit on my lap. You see what it's like to be old Chris Keller in his element. Mm. (Chase comes in) CHASE: Is this the work that made you bail on Chuck? CHRIS: Look, sorry, man. I had to take care of Chris Keller tonight. Besides, he's hanging with his dad. He doesn't need a babysitter. CHASE: You musicians are all the same. You know that? You just bulldoze through town, making empty promises, and you don't care who you hurt along the way. CHRIS: Dude, hey, lighten up, man. Why don't you call, uh, "not Alex." CHASE: I already talked to her. She's coming over tonight. CLINN'S HOUSE Jamie and Quinn are going to watch movie. QUINN: So, here's some popcorn. We'll watch a scary movie, and it'll be Lydia's first sleepover. JAMIE: And in the morning, dad will be home. We should call your mom and say goodnight first. VOICEMAIL: Hey, it's Haley. Leave me a message. QUINN(at phone): Hey, hales. Jamie's just going to sleep. He just wanted to say good night. JAMIE(at phone): Hi, mom. Thanks for letting me stay at aunt Quinn's tonight. We had so much fun that...(Yawns dramatically ] I'm gonna fall right to sleep. Love you! QUINN(at phone): Hey, hales, um so I talked to Clay, but, uh... He hasn't heard from Nathan, so... Call me back. I'm, uh, I'm worried about you. (She hangs up) QUINN: The fake yawn was a bit much. JAMIE: You think? KAREN'S CAFE Brooke understands Tara write the note to Julian. BAR Julian looks his babies' pictures. Men laugh. MAN: What, you got a problem? Huh? JULIAN: Yeah, I do. (They start to fight) TARA'S CAFE Brooke enters in the cafe, she is upset. BROOKE: Hi. I need to speak with the owner, please. WAITRESS: Sorry, Tara's out for the night. BROOKE: Could you give her a message for me? WAITRESS: Sure. BROOKE: Great. (She puts the mess in the cafe) STREET Julian is fighting by the man of the bar. JULIAN: Is that all you got? Ohh! Ohh! That's more like it. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley wants explications of Dan. HALEY: Well? Answer the question, Dan. You said you lost everything in the fre, so why do you have this? And all that money... why do you have that? Was it not an accident? Did you start the fre yourself? Oh, my God. You did! You started the fre! I trusted you. I let you into my home. I defended you, and you lied to me, and you took advantage of me! And the doors... the doors here and at the cafÃ©. Was that you, too? DAN: Haley, will you let me explain? HALEY: What else are you lying about, Dan? Where is Nathan? What did you do to him? DAN: What? Nathan's missing? HALEY: Don't play games with me. You knew the second he got home that you were gonna have to leave, so you made sure that he never got home! DAN: Haley, what are you... HALEY: Where is my husband?! Where is Nathan?! DAN: Haley, will you calm down?! Please, let me explain! Please, just let me explain, okay? You're right. Nathan gave me the baseball and the picture, and I sensed a thaw. At least an opportunity for one. I had to act. I tried to get close to Jamie and Lydia while Nathan was still vulnerable. But I didn't know anything about Nathan missing until just now. I promise. I was just a desperate man trying to get close to my family. Please. You understand, don't you? HALEY: I'm sorry. I do understand. I'm out of my mind right now. Of course you didn't do anything to your son. I'm just so worried about him. DAN: You need to relax. If Nathan didn't come home, there's a perfectly good explanation for it. HALEY: Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I mean, he probably... he probably missed his flight. DAN: Yeah. HALEY: Right? I... I'm so silly. I need... I need to calm down and get some sleep. DAN: That's a really good idea. HALEY: Okay. Haley goes in her room, opens the faucet in the bathroom and calls. WOMAN(at phone): 911. What's your emergency? HALEY(at phone): I need your help. There's a m*rder in my house. (Dan is behind the door of the room) End of the episode.	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "09x05 - The k*lling Moon"}	foreverdreaming
PREVIOUSLY ON ONE TREE HILL MAN: What? You got a problem? JULIAN: Yeah. I do. DOCTOR: You have what's called a dissociative fugue disorder. You temporarily become someone else. CLAY: Why is there a kid here? DOCTOR: That's Logan. He lost his parents. NATHAN: Bye, Lydia. WOMAN: Okay, it looks Nathan Scott was on flight 2326 last night. HALEY: You said you lost everything in the fre, so why do you have this? HALEY: What else are you lying about, Dan? Where is Nathan? What did you do to him? WOMAN: 911. What's your emergency? HALEY: I need your help. There's a mrder in my house. ONE TREE HILL MORNING SHOW Millie and Mouth are showing. MOUTH: And so we've heard from a guy who collects records and lives in his parents' basement. Millie, what else is happening locally? MILLICENT: Let's see. Well, Allegedly, Tree Hill cafe was vandalized last night, and, supposedly, it was Karen's cafe owner Brooke Davis. Tree Hill cafe owner Tara Richards is not pressing charges, but would simply like everybody to know that Brooke Davis did it. Allegedly. Okay, not allegedly. Witnesses confirmed it. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke watches the show. MOUTH(at TV): Of course, not all witnesses are reliable. MILLICENT(at TV): Exactly. BROOKE: Unbelievable. That Tara is such a bi... MOUTH(at TV): Okay! Let's move on. What's going on in the world of entertainment these days? BROOKE: Bad person. Hey, you know that mommy was just protecting daddy, right? Right? You guys believe me, don't you? Of course you do. Brooke joins Julian in the kitchen. BROOKE: Hey. JULIAN: Hey. BROOKE: Oh, my God. What happened? JULIAN: It's okay. It's just a bar fight. I slept on the couch. BROOKE: A bar fight? JULLIAN: It doesn't even hurt. BROOKE: Ohh. Let's me see. JULIAN: Okay, it hurts a little. BROOKE: Okay. You should lay down, put some ice on that. I'm gonna call the police on this guy. JULIAN: You can't really do that. BROOKE: Why not? JULIAN: Because I started it. BROOKE: Why would you do that? JULIAN: Because I left our baby in the car. BROOKE: Okay. I guess you finally found the punishment that you've been looking for. Why don't you ask Nathan what happens in bar fights?Did you even think for one second about your family when you did this? JULIAN: That's all I've been thinking about. BROOKE: I was gonna ask you to take the boys to the sitter for me today, but I can't have you going in there and scaring all the kids, so I got it... Again. JULIAN: I can do it. BROOKE: Can you?! Julian, I love you, and I really want to help you move past this, but I do not want to raise two kids by myself. So when you're ready to be a parent again, I could really use the help. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley is worried. HALEY: Where are you, Nathan? POLICE STATION The inspector asks some questions to Dan. INSPECTOR:Your daughter-in-law said Nathan wanted you out of the house by the time he returned, but he... Never returned. So, lucky you. DAN: I'm not sure I follow your logic. INSPECTOR: I think you do. Let's talk about the fre at the diner. She said you admitted to burning down your own diner just to get close to them. DAN: And you believe her. INSPECTOR: Well, weren't you involved with a fre like this previously? At your car dealership? DAN: You're right. I lit the dealership fre, almost burning myself to death in the process, just so I'd have an excuse to mrder my own brother and serve a full term in jail, get released, get a third-world heart transplant, then write a book, start my own motivational talk show, give up my new found fortune, and move to a remote diner just so I could burn it down and collect the $65,000 insurance policy, then get rid of my son, and move in with his family, who hates me. Nice work, Detective. You caught me. What's it take to be a Tree Hill cop these days? A pen? This is the part where you either charge me or release me. MORNING SHOW The show goes always on. MOUTH: And that is why you should only park in handicap spaces if you're handicapped. Karma, people... look it up. (Mouth receives a note) MOUTH: This can't be right. MILLICENT: What is it? MOUTH: We're just getting initial reports that former NBA player and Tree Hill resident Nathan Scott has been reported missing. Scott, who became a sports agent after retiring from the NBA due to a back injury... NALEY'S HOUSE Haley watches the show. Quinn is with her. HALEY: This is not happening. This can't be. MOUTH(at TV): Where he was scouting potential prospects 128 00:04:53,258 --> 00:04:54,709 for his agency, fortitude. QUINN: Okay. What can I do? Do you want me to take Jamie for the day? HALEY: No. I need to talk to him. Haley enters in the Jamie's bedroom. HALEY: Hey. You okay? JAMIE: Is it dad? Is he okay? HALEY: Actually, I needed to talk to you about that. Um... I know how brave you are, and I know that it's all gonna be okay, but just right now, we're having a little trouble finding your dad. I'm sure that he's fine. He probably just got lost... Or something. We're gonna find him. We're gonna find him. Promise. LOCAL Dmitri talks to Nathan. DMITRI: "O, from this time forth, my thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth." CHASE'S LOFT Chase and Tara gets up. CHASE: We should... Burn those sheets. TARA: You mean bronze them, champ. (Tara goes to the bathroom and Chris enters in the loft) CHRIS: Yo, yo! Yeah. What are we doing today? CHASE: Yo! W-what are you doing here? CHRIS: I don't know. I was in the neighborhood. I thought we'd get some food. Well, well! A little "not Alex" action? CHASE: Uh, maybe. And we... we already made plans. CHRIS: Dude, so bail on her. Or better yet, take me with you. Dude, I make dudes look so much better. CHASE: Ah. Come on, Chris. You should... you should really go. CHRIS: Nope. Dude, besides, I want to meet her. CHASE: You know what? You're right. Let's bail. She can find her way out. CHRIS: Wait. Are you serious? CHASE: She doesn't own me. She's just lucky I let her stay the night. That... Tramp. CHRIS: Damn! Dude, you're colder than Chris Keller. HOPITAL CENTRE Clay looks some comics with Logan. LOGAN: Who's that with the claws? CLAY: Dude, you got to know your namesake. That is Wolverine, also known as Logan. LOGAN: Why does he have two names? CLAY: Because Wolverine's his secret identity. LOGAN: Who's that? CLAY: That's Cyclops. He's the frosty one of the two. He's kind of like my friend Nathan. But they don't really get along because... They both like her. That's Jean Grey. LOGAN: She's cool. CLAY: And kind of hot for a comic-book chick. Anything else you want to know? LOGAN: Why do you come here? CLAY: Okay, Captain subtle. I... Don't really like to talk about it. LOGAN: Not even with your doctor? CLAY: Not really. LOGAN: Then you're gonna be here for a long time, like that old man who eats his buttons. CLAY: Thanks for the advice. Keep reading. TV SET Mouth wants to talks to Jerry. MOUTH: hey, Jerry. You got a sec? JERRY: Yeah. Hey. Listen, I'm really sorry about Nathan Scott. I know you're friends, and if there's anything I can do... MOUTH: I'm glad you said that, because I was thinking I could take some time off from the morning show and look into things. Just temporarily. JERRY: I can't do that. I need you here. MOUTH: Just for a few days. Come on. The show will be fine. JERRY: It's not just that. Look, I'd have the news department crawling up my ass, wondering why you're doing their job for them. I'm sorry. But if you happen to put in some work after hours, I don't have to know about it. LOCAL Dmitri wants to talks with Nathan. NATHAN: Aah! DMITRI: I'm so sorry. My associate has a twisted sense of humor. NATHAN: Take these off. I'll make him stop laughing. Why am I here? Besides listening to your lame quotes. DMITRI: Whoa. I learned english from Shakespeare. NATHAN: What do you want? DMITRI: You know, where I come from, we have all kinds of interests... gn, drugs, prostitution, gambling, basketball. A franchise player leaves, owner loses money, owner not happy. NATHAN: So I'm here because I tried to sign someone. DMITRI: Signing is stealing! And we don't care for thieves. We have to set example that our interests, our property, is not to be touched. You, my friend, are that example. Once we get the order, you're a dad man. NATHAN: Over a basketball player? That's insane! DMITRI: No, no. Insane is crossing a man who pays his players cash from a suitcase chained to his wrist. You take his best player, you take his money. You take his money, we take your life. KAREN'S CAFE Brooke arrives and finds out there is nobody in the cafe. BROOKE: Um... Is there a zombie apocalypse or something going on that I don't know about? WAITRESS: It's been dad all morning... pun intended. BROOKE: Is this because I trashed that whorehouse next door? The town should give me a medal for that. WAITRESS: I'd settle for some tips. (Tara enters) TARA: Brooke... Did you see me on the news? I guess people are more afraid of the crazy manager than the mrder chef. BROOKE: Crazy? I'm crazy? I'm not the one who put that horrific note on my husband's car. TARA: Yeah, and I'm not the one that left a baby in it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a packed cafe to run. BROOKE: This is not over. TARA: Looks over to me. (Cellphone rings, door closes) BROOKE: "I need you at the house asap. Haley." How am I gonna explain this one? NALEY'S HOUSE Dan knocked on the door. Haley opens. HALEY: No. DAN: Wait, wait, wait. Don't be afraid. I just want to talk. I'm not upset with you for calling the police. HALEY: I don't care, Dan. DAN: I just want to look for Nathan together. He's my son. I love him. I love Jamie. I love you. I would never hurt my family. HALEY: It's my family, and you have. DAN: I had nothing to do with it. You have to believe me. HALEY: I don't believe you, Dan, because if it wasn't you directly, it was because of something you've done. JAMIE: What did you do to my dad?! DAN: Jamie, it's not like that. JAMIE: No. You're a liar! Just bring him back! HALEY: So, what now? You want me to tell my son that you're not a monster? DAN: I'm sorry. HALEY: Yeah, you are. I want you to stay away from my house and stay out of our lives! SOUND STAGE Dan comes in. Julian plays with a ball. DAN: Julian Baker. JULIAN: You're looking at him. DAN: I'll take your word for it. What happened to your face? Your wife bat you up? That Brooke's a feisty one, huh? JULIAN: Dan Scott. What do you want? DAN: Right to the point. Good. I need a work space. I'll give you 3 grand a month to get rid of the rest of your clients. JULIAN: I don't have any other clients. DAN: Like I said, I'll give you 2 grand a month. I'll need a trailer and complete privacy. JULIAN: To do what? DAN: Let's make it 3 grand a month and you don't ask that question again. JULIAN: It's nothing illegal. DAN: Deal? JULIAN: I'll show you the trailers. NALEY'S HOUSE Brooke comes in. BROOKE: Hey. I know why you're upset, and I'm really sorry. It's just Tara left this note on Julian's car, and I totally flipped out! HALEY: Nathan's missing. BROOKE: What do you mean he's missing? HALEY: His flight landed, and he never came home. BROOKE: Oh, my God, hales. I'm so sorry. HALEY: No. BROOKE: I've been running around all day. I... I'm here now. What can I do? HALEY: Can you watch the cafe? Can you...just so I know that it's in good hands and I don't have to think about it. BROOKE: Yeah. Of course. Anything. Okay. We've been through a lot, you and I. We'll get through this. HALEY: Yeah. KAREN'S CAFE Chase and Chris takes drinks. CHRIS: Thank you. CHASE: What are you doing? CHRIS: I'm just hoping Tara sees me here. Pisses her off. CHASE: And you like that because...? CHRIS: I don't know. She likes the drama. We call it foreplay. So, I can tell you were pissed that I stood up kid Keller. CHASE: It's fine. CHRIS: Nah, it's not. CHASE: You're right. It's not. But if it makes you feel any better, his dad eventually showed up. CHRIS: You checked on him? That's pretty cool, dude. In fact, Chris Keller's decided you're a good dude. CHASE: Is that a good thing? CHRIS: Hey, Chris Keller doesn't hand out those titles lightly. Truth is, I don't have a lot of friends. Anyway, I just... I just wanted to say I'm sorry for playing a part in Alex taking that tour. I know it's been hard to deal with. Chris Keller's here for you. CHASE: Wow. Well, uh, I appreciate that. CHRIS: All right. We just got to find you a girl like Tara now. HOPITAL CENTRE Clay has a seance with his doctor. CLAY: Logan asked me why I'm here. DOCTOR: What did you say? CLAY: I did not know what to say. DOCTOR: Well, it's not an easy thing to explain. The amount of trauma that you've experienced in your life is, uh, significant. CLAY: A lot of people go through crap, but they don't wake up on merry-go-rounds. DOCTOR: A lot of people don't watch their wife die in front of them and then get sht point blank by a woman who looks like her, either. CLAY: It's still just trauma. DOCTOR: You've been through a lot, Clay. And I think maybe it's hard for you to admit that you need more help than most people. You think somehow it diminishes you. It doesn't. KAREN'S CAFE Brooke and Millicent talks together. MILLICENT: It's hard to think about it... Nathan. BROOKE: I know. When I left Haley, she was just about to meet with the detectives. I thought that I had it bad, you know, with Julian literally beating himself up over this Davis thing. I can't imagine what this is like for Haley. MILLICENT: How is she holding up? BROOKE: She's a wreck. Plus she asked me to watch the cafe, and I don't know how to tell her that when she comes back here, there isn't gonna be a cafe because of that bitch Tara! God, it feels good to swear without my kids here. MILLICENT: Well, I'm here to help. BROOKE: You better be, especially after your little pro-Tara report this morning. MILLICENT: I was just reading the news I was given. BROOKE: Mm-hmm. MILLICENT: But, to make up for it, I have a very pro-Brooke idea. BROOKE: I'm listening. MILLICENT: What if you organize some live music here like back in the day? You could ask one of our current patrons... not chase. How's that for help? BROOKE: Pretty good. I'm gonna need you to pick the twins up in an hour. Ugh. NALEY'S HOUSE Jamie looks a video about Nathan, Quinn joins him. QUINN: What you got there, little man? JAMIE: Some videos dad sent me from Europe. NATHAN(in video): It doesn't matter how far I go, Jamie Scott, you're always with me. JAMIE: When I play this, it feels like he's right here talking to me But what if it's the last time I see him? QUINN: It's not going to be. Okay? Think of all the things your dad's come back from... the car crash, his back, your crazy nanny. JAMIE: Our crazy nanny who kidnapped me. QUINN: Exactly. But here you are. 'Cause you're a Scott, and no one is tougher or smarter than a Scott. LOCAL Dmitri and his associate plays game. DMITRI: I love this game. How did you... where did you come by this? MAN: A local friend. He calls them "bones." Like he'll be... bones. NATHAN: Hey, what are you waiting for, anyway? Huh? You got me here. What are you waiting for? DMITRI: "How poor are they that they have no patience?" They tell us to wait, we wait. NATHAN: Well, who's they? Hey. You know I have a wife and two kids, right? MAN: I have two wives. And six kids. NATHAN: I also used to play in the NBA. I can pay you a lot of money. DMITRI: It's not about money. NATHAN: Right. It's about klling me over a basketball player. That makes sense. DMITRI: We entered into contract. You, as agent, should understand it. NATHAN: Have you ever heard of a holdout? Two wives? Six kids? I'd milk every penny I could get. What are you... ohh! MAN: No talking! DMITRI: Have you not heard of honor among thieves? We gave our word, Nathan Scott, that you would die. And so you will. HOPITAL CENTRE Mouth visits Clay at the hospital. MOUTH: Knock, knock. You got a sec? CLAY: Mouth. What's up, man? Hey. I'd offer you a drink, but juice time is not for another half-hour. MOUTH: I'm good. I just... I wanted to come by and say I'm really sorry. CLAY: Well, thanks. But hopefully I'll be flying this cuckoo's nest soon. MOUTH: Well, of course, but I meant about Nathan. CLAY: What about him? MOUTH: They didn't tell you. Clay, Nate's missing. He landed in Tree Hill two days ago, and he never came home. The police are involved now. I'm... I'm sorry. I thought you knew. When's the last time you heard from him? CLAY: Uh... A voice-mail. He was scouting the euro camps and said, "I'm gonna be going off the beaten path." Why the hell did it take two days for me to hear about this? MOUTH: We're all just learning about it. Listen, I'm gonna look into some things and see what I can find out. If you think of anything else, you let me know, okay? CLAY: Yeah. MOUTH: I'll see you. CLAY: Mouth. Keep me in the loop. MOUTH: I will. NALEY'S HOUSE Quinn was in the phone with the police. Haley comes in. QUINN(at phone): Okay. All right. (She hangs up) QUINN: That was Detective Colvin. Um...Haley, this is gonna sound bad, but... HALEY: What? QUINN: Um... They're searching the woods by the airport. Posters will be up by this evening, and, look, there's a lot off really good people out there looking for him. He's gonna come home. HALEY: I never should have let Dan back into our life. QUINN: Look, I know you have a lot of history with Dan and that most of it is bad, but I went and saw him when I had problems with Katie, and he talked me out of doing something really stupid. HALEY: Are you saying that you trust him? QUINN: No, I just... there's a lot worse people to have in your corner in a crisis, Haley. He knows people. HALEY: Yeah, which is exactly why I don't want him anywhere near my family, and neither should you. TRAILER Julian comes to see if Dan needs help. JULIAN: I just wanted to see if you needed anything. DAN: Yeah. The completely privacy that I paid for. And another notepad. JULIAN: What is that? DAN: A list of my enemies. Better make that two notepads. JULIAN: Looking for Nathan, aren't you? You sure it's about you? DAN: I don't know, but I'm gonna find out. JULIAN: Can I help? DAN: What happened to your face? JULIAN: Um... I was having a bad day, so I picked a fight. DAN: Apparently you picked the wrong guy. JULIAN: I didn't fight back. DAN: Why not? JULIAN: Because I was angry at myself for leaving one of my infant sons in a hot car. DAN: So you let yourself get bat up. If I let someone kick my ass every time I did something stupid, I'd be unrecognizable. JULIAN: Great pep talk, Dan. No wonder your sons love you so much. DAN: Let me ask you a question. If I let you help me, who are you gonna be looking for? Nathan or yourself? JULIAN: Both. DAN: When I got out of prison, I wrote a bestseller with my ex-wife, Rachel, also on the list, by the way. JULIAN: Yeah, my dad wanted to buy the rights. I talked him out of it. DAN: Probably smart. The book's a fraud. I made a deal with an investor in prison to buy 10,000 copies on the first day, because once the book's a bestseller, everyone will want to read it. JULIAN: Self-fulfilling prophecy. DAN: At first, all I had to do was pay back the loan plus the interest, but then the talk show became a ht. My friend got greedy. He thrat to tell the world how the book became a bestseller. Once the show ended, so did his payments, and that didn't make him very happy. JULIAN: So you want to confront this guy and see if he has something to do with Nathan. Let me help. DAN: You can watch my back. That's all. JULIAN: Fine. HOSPITAL CENTRE Clay takes his stuff and goes away. Logan sees him. LOGAN: Where are you going? Are you leaving? KAREN'S CAFE Chris is still in the cafe. BROOKE: You know... It's on the house. CHRIS: Well, well. Trying to buy me breakfast to get me back in the sack. It's too bad I'm taken. BROOKE: Actually, I was hoping that you might consider performing here tonight... If possible. It would really help us get our customers back. CHRIS: Oh, I don't doubt it, but I can't. I'm kind of doing the girl who runs Tree Hill cafe. BROOKE: Great! Of course you are. Figures that little tramp would be doing you and chase at the same time. CHRIS: What? BROOKE: Chase and Tara... CHRIS: Chase?! No, no. Tara's my girlfriend. Why would you think chase and Tara would... Come on. BROOKE: Oh, crap. Sorry. CHRIS: Chase is doing Tara? Oh... Oh, man. Chris Keller will play. HOPITAL CENTRE Clay is the border on the road. He isn't himself. Quinn comes in and sees him. QUINN: Clay? Hey! Hey! Hey! Where are you going? CLAY: Do I know you? QUINN: Yes. It's me... Quinn. CLAY: I don't know you. QUINN: What?! It's me! It's Quinn! Hey, it's me. It's me. No. It's okay. It's okay. Quinn and clay talk with the doctor. DOCTOR: What's the last thing you remember? CLAY: I remember Logan asking me where I was going. DOCTOR: As you were leaving? CLAY: Yeah, as I was leaving. You should have told me about Nate. QUINN: Look, I-I wanted to and I would have, but I was afraid that you would try to leave and something like this would happen. DOCTOR: Look, the silver lining is that we can learn from what happened today. Clay, I hope you understand now. The emergency you need to fix first here is you. KAREN'S CAFE Chris performs. Brooke is happy. BROOKE: Not bad, Millicent Huxtable. MILLICENT: I know. I tweeted it. BROOKE: I did, too. I expect a glowing review on tomorrow morning's show. MILLICENT: This is our lead-in. BROOKE: Or it could be this. (Tara enters in the cafe) TARA: What the hell are you doing helping my competition? CHRIS: Why the hell are you sleeping with my best friend? BROOKE: Yeah. CHRIS: All right, we're gonna take an intermission. I'm gonna need to see you outside. BROOKE: Well...Chris Keller, everyone! Chase joins Chris outside. CHASE: Listen, Chris, it's... it's not what you... (Chris punches him) CHASE: Oww! What the hell was that? CHRIS: Yeah, I would have punched you except I don't want to hurt my guitar hands, so just consider yourself punched! CHASE: Aah! You're right! I deserve whatever the hell that was. I'm sorry. CHRIS: Man, this... this whole time, you made me think not Alex was ugly because you didn't introduce me to her. CHASE: I didn't know you thought that. And I didn't even know Tara was your girlfriend at first. CHRIS: "At first"?! CHASE: Well, then I was mad at you for standing up Chuck. CHRIS: I apologized for that. CHASE: Not until after I... Slept with her. But I just...I'm sorry, okay? I knew better and...I'm sorry. CHRIS: Man. You and Tara?! You know what this means, right? STRIP-TEASE CLUB Chase pays all consummation of Chris. CHRIS: And then... That's when Chase here swooped in and stole my girl. WOMAN: You poor baby. I'm so sorry. That's terrible. CHASE: Come on. We weren't even friends yet. WOMAN: Let me take you to the V.I.P. Room. Lift your spirits. Half price. CHRIS: Make it full price. I bank with chase. My pin is "backstabber."

JERRY: I saw you burning the midnight oil. I thought you might be hungry. MOUTH: Thanks. JERRY: I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for. See you tomorrow. HOSPITAL CENTRE Clay goes to see Logan to apologize. CLAY: Hey. Are you mad at me? LOGAN: You didn't even say goodbye. CLAY: Well, that's only because of my condition. All right, the truth is, sometimes I wander 'cause I'm not myself. That's why I come here. But that other me doesn't know who you are. LOGAN: I thought you left 'cause you didn't like me. CLAY: What? You're my best friend in here. LOGAN: Hey. Can we read more "X-Men" tomorrow? CLAY: Does Wolverine have adamantium claws? That's a yes. LOGAN: Cool. Hey. Maybe that other you is a secret identity.

You're here to accuse me of hurting Nathan. MOUTH: No, actually. I'm here because I found something that can help find him. Nathan didn't like the players in the euro camp, so he went off the beaten path. I'm thinking to eastern and central Europe. Basketball's a shady business over there. A lot of the teams are owned by criminals. DAN: You came to me. MOUTH: I went to see Haley, and Quinn suggested I come to you. I didn't want to. Maybe it's something. DAN: I'll check it out. MOUTH: Anything I can do? DAN: Yeah. Go easy on the carbs. LOCAL Kidnapper play game and Nathan always waits. NATHAN: Take this number down. It's my attorney. He'll arrange your payment.

DMITRI: You're right. You know the team owner, you know the players. You can make trouble. Your death is more valuable now. NATHAN: So you're just charging them more to kll me.

Quietly. HALEY: Why quietly? What does that mean? STEVENS: It means I'm not a Detective, and this isn't my case. I-I shouldn't even be here. HALEY: So why are you here? STEVENS: I became a cop to help people, Mrs. Scott, and ever since this case became official, I've carried around the fact that I sent you away that first night. I'm sorry. I need to fix that. HALEY: Okay. Um, how can I help you? Quietly? STEVENS: Okay, um... Is there anything that you haven't told us? Or shown us? HALEY: Yeah. Yeah, just a second. Nathan brought this back for our daughter. And I found it at the airport, so... STEVENS: Okay. You were smart to bag it.

We get drunk. We watch Haley and Nathan's kids... not when we're drunk. She buys me weird clothes online... And calls me Sergio. Geez, no wonder I'm in here, right? ALVAREZ: I'm sad to say you sound boringly normal. I understand your friend Nathan is missing. I'm sorry. How's his family doing? CLAY: I think they're holding their breath. We all are. I was, uh, supposed to be the one to go to Europe. ALVAREZ: Why didn't you go? CLAY: Because I started having these stupid fugue episodes, and Nate wanted to help me. ALVAREZ: Clay, do you feel responsible for this? CLAY: Why the hell would you ask me that? ALVAREZ: Because I know you. CLAY: Hell, yes, I feel responsible. It should have been me.

HOPITAL CENTRE ALVAREZ: So it was Nathan who introduced you to Quinn. CLAY: Well, sort of. He introduced us and then forbid me from seeing her. ALVAREZ: Why do you think he forbid you? CLAY: Because he was a client, I guess. ALVAREZ: And what about Nathan made you want to sign him? CLAY: You know, he was struggling. He'd been through some rough times, but he was driven to rise above it all. ALVAREZ: Like you. CLAY: Yeah. A-and he... he had a family. ALVAREZ: Why do you mention that? CLAY: Well, because helping him was helping them. You know, they were dreaming his dream with him. Sometimes for him. ALVAREZ: Clay, do you ever resent that he... That he had a family? CLAY: You're asking some screwed-up questions today, aren't you, doc? ALVAREZ: Wouldn't be such a terrible thing to resent someone who has something that you could have had. CLAY: I have never resented Nathan's family for a second. I've been jealous of them. Sometimes I still am. But I've grown to be protective of them. ALVAREZ: You ever resent that you couldn't protect Sara? CLAY: Every day. ALVAREZ: You know, it's interesting, Clay... That, uh, your job involves protecting people, and yet, in your personal life, you've struggled to do just that, isn't it? CLAY: I'm just an agent, doc. AIRPORT Haley talks with Lucas. HALEY: What if he's dad and he's not coming back? LUCAS: He's coming back. HALEY: I don't... Luke, I need to say the words out loud and let them shock me because I have to face the reality of the situation. Nathan is missing. There's a good chance that he's not coming back. LUCAS: The chances are better that he is. Look, I know you've done the research same as me. 95% of all missing persons are located. HALEY: And of the ones that aren't, most abductees are dad within three hours. LUCAS: You don't know that he's been abducted. HALEY: Then where is he? Where is he? This is Nathan we're talking about. He has been through hell and back, and he's overcome all of it. So what do you think happened? You think he got amnesia and he's gone and he's got a new identity somewhere? Do you think he left me? No. He's not home because he can't come home. I can feel it in my soul, Luke. LUCAS: Haley, this is Nathan, and he will come home. Now, say that out loud. HALEY: He's coming home. HOPITAL CENTRE ALVAREZ: Talk to me about the... Person you became after Sara's death. You were coming to see me, and then you just stopped. I never asked why. CLAY: I just got tired of talking about it. I got tired of sleeping 15 hours a day. I got tired of that apartment. And I got tired of running into old friends and seeing the polite grin on their face because they didn't know what to say or how to say it. So I left. ALVAREZ: Where'd you go? CLAY: Nowhere. I just got in the car one day and started driving. I stayed at cheap hotels, ate fast food. Nobody saw me. And nobody looked me in the eye. That's how I wanted it to be. I drove, um... I drove as far as I could, and I decided that when I ran out of road I would check into a hotel somewhere... And I'd kll myself. That's when I saw her. At the end of the road. She was standing on the balcony of this... Stupidly large beach house. ALVAREZ: Sara. CLAY: So I rented it, and I sat up at night talking to her,like we used to. And she told me to stop feeling sorry for myself...And to get back to work. So I did. And then I found Nate. AIRPORT Jamie looks for something in his bag. JAMIE: I can't find my dad. QUINN: What, buddy? JAMIE: The video he sent me. I put it on my iPod, but I didn't bring it. QUINN: Okay, well, I mean, you know it's at home, right? JAMIE: But I want to take it with me. It's the last video he sent me from Europe. QUINN: Wait. You have your laptop. JAMIE: Yeah, but it's not on there. It's on the computer in my room. QUINN: I mean, we could call someone and have them send you the file. Or, I mean, when I get home, I can. JAMIE: We could call Julian. They have a key, and he'll know how. QUINN: Perfect. And, Jamie... We're gonna get your dad back. Video and for real. Call Julian. JAMIE(at phone): Julian. It's Jamie. CLUB TRIC Chuck arrives. CHASE: Chuck Skolnick in the house! CHUCK: Hey.

CHASE: So, you think he'll be sticking around for a while? CHUCK: Yeah, I guess. Why? CHASE: Well, um... I have to go back to the air force. CHUCK: When? CHASE: The next couple days. But you'll have Chris... And your dad. It's gonna be all right. CHUCK: Yeah. CHASE: Hey. It'll be all right. How about we hang out tonight? We could do something fun. CHUCK: I can't. I have plans with my dad. AIRPORT HALEY: He needs his dad. We all do. LUCAS: What are the police saying? HALEY: Not much. I don't know. They don't seem as concerned as they should be or as active as they should be. It's not good enough. It's a nightmare. LUCAS: I really think I should just come back to Tree Hill. HALEY: No... LUCAS: No, there's gotta be something more I can do. HALEY: No, you're doing it. I need you to take the kids out of the house before I completely lose it and Jamie realizes how bad things are. Luke, they'll be happier with you guys. LUCAS: Okay. HALEY: Okay? LUCAS: And as soon as Nathan comes home, you'll be a family again. And he will, Haley. I promise. HALEY: I wish you could keep that promise more than any other you've ever made. But I think it's really bad this time, Luke. I think that it's really, really bad. LOCAL Dmitri comes back. DMITRI: There he is! My cash cow. You should be mooing for me, cow. Our terms have been received. And my people are willing to renegotiate the contract for your death.

ALVAREZ: Mm, family, kids, you. CLAY: I guess there was a time where I would have said "not for me." But being around Nate's family, you know, his son, Jamie, and the baby... It's nice. ALVAREZ: You spend a lot of time with them? CLAY: Yeah. We have Jamie quite a bit, and Quinn's been watching Lydia, so we've pretty much seen her grow up. So, I don't know. ALVAREZ: What if Quinn got pregnant? CLAY: I mean, if you're asking if I love her, then, yes, I do. ALVAREZ: That's good, but that's not what I asked you. LOCAL Dmitri is eating in front of Nathan.

DMITRI: You forgot to say "please." NATHAN: Please. DMITRI: "Nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility. But when the blast of wr blows in our ears, he imitates the action of the tiger." I like you, Nathan Scott. Too bad I have to kll you. (Dmitri gives the water but Nathan catches up and hits him) NATHAN: How's that for a comeback, huh? (Nathan tries to take a Knfe to free himself. Billy comes in) BILLY: Yo, Dmitri. Yo, Dmitri! PRISON Brooke can talk with Xavier. XAVIER: I didn't think you'd show. BROOKE: You said you wanted to talk to me, so talk. XAVIER: Just like that, huh? Look... I'm sorry for what I done to you. I've had a lot of time to think about the mistakes that I made... And to make peace with it. And I just... Want to do right. I just want to go about my business... And live my life. So... I'm sorry for what I done to you. That's all. BROOKE: And what about Quentin fields? His family... what about him? XAVIER: They never convicted me of that. BROOKE: I have two children. Boys. They have their entire lives ahead of them... COURT Brooke talks in front of the court. BROOKE: Just like my friend Quentin fields once did. Like Xavier Daniels once did. I hope that when they're adults, they'll believe in redemption and rehabilitation. I hope they'll believe in forgiveness. Because I do. I just don't believe in it for Xavier Daniels. I don't believe he's changed, I don't believe he's sorry, and I don't believe he's paid for his crimes. He is an angry, hateful, violent human being. And I'm sorry, but it would be a mistake to release him. I won't feel safe, and neither should any of you. Can he change? I hope so. But has he? No, I don't think he has. And I don't think he will.

You won't tell her, right? CHASE: How'd you fall? CHUCK: I don't know. I just... I ht the curb, and I fell. It's no big deal. I gotta go. KAREN'S CAFE Brooke closes the cafe. Xavier looks at her from the street. TRAILER Dan and Julian watch Nathan's video again. NATHAN(at the video): You're a good man, son. I love you. DAN: Right there. Push in on that. JULIAN: Hold on. I can make it better. What is it? Does that mean something? DAN: Yeah. JULIAN: Well, that's good, right? DAN: No. It's not good at all. AIRPORT Haley and Quinn look at the plane takes off. QUINN: You okay? HOPITAL CENTRE ALVAREZ: Are you worried about Nathan, Clay? CLAY: Am I worried for his safety? Of course. But Nathan Scott is the strongest guy I know. Wherever he is, however he is, he's getting stronger. He'll come home. And if he can't... Someone's in for the fight of their life. LOCAL Stevens ties Nathan to the chair. NATHAN: How can you do this? A cop. STEVENS: I'm a desk cop. At least to them, I am. They're wrong. They don't want to make me a Detective? Fine! This definitely pays better. By the way...Your wife says hello. NATHAN: Oof! DMITRI: Okay. Okay. Okay. "Let's be sacrificers but not butchers. Let's kll him boldly but not wrathfully. Let's carve him as a dish fit for the gods, not hew him as a carcass fit for hounds. And let our hearts, as subtle masters do, stir their servants to an act of rage." (Cellphone rings) DMITRI:Good news. We've reached new financial agreement. So, they send more money...and then you die.

PREVIOUSLY ON ONE TREE HILL DOCTOR: Clay, you have what's called a dissociative fugue disorder. You temporarily become someone else. CLAY: Why is there a kid here? DOCTOR: He lost his parents. He stays with us sometimes. We try to help him. CLAY: I'm Clay. LOGAN: Logan. CHUCK: I just fell off that stupid bike you gave me, that's all. CHASE: Well, let me see. Does your mom know about this? CHUCK: No. And you can't tell her, okay? WOMAN: Okay, it looks like Natan Scott was on flight 2326 last night. XAVIER: I just want to go about my business and live my life. I'm sorry for what I done to you. NATHAN: How's that for a comeback, huh? DIMITRI: Good news. We've reached new financial agreement. So they send more money...and then you die. ONE TREE HILL STREET Dan wait someone and when he gets out, Dan fights him. SOUND STAGE Dan is back, Julian talks to him. JULIAN: I know what that guy will feel like in the morning. Who was he? DAN: A lead. JULIAN: And? DAN: We'll see. JULIAN: So, what now? DAN: Now I go back to prison. KAREN'S CAFE Brooke takes a sign which says it looks at someone to work. XAVIER: Can I please have an application? BROOKE: Sure, of course... XAVIER: They say I need a job now I'm on parole. I guess they didn't find your little speech as moving as I did. So, what do you say? I'll be the best employee ever. BROOKE: That position has been filled. XAVIER: I just watched you put up that sign. BROOKE: Well, now you can watch me take it down. XAVIER: Have a nice day. FLASHBACK, XAVIER'S HOUSE Brooke walks away. XAVIER: Have a nice day. HOSPITAL CENTRE Clay and Logan do flying the plane. LOGAN: More power. CLAY: But I don't want to crash it. LOGAN: Don't worry. We could just fix it. CLAY: You sure? LOGAN: Come on. You have to try at least, or else you'll never do it. CLAY: All right. Okay, you were right. This is much cooler than keeping it on the shelf. LOGAN: Try a cobra. CLAY: Coming right up. LOGAN: Yeah! (The plane crashes) CLAY: No. LOGAN: That... was... awesome! CLAY: That was pretty awesome. Wait up. STREET IN TREE HILL Skills walks in the street and sees Lauren to gets out her car. He looks she is pregnant. SKILLS: Miss Lauren. Damn, you look good, girl. Damn, you look good, girl. Oh, damn. RED BEDROOM RECORDS Chris plays guitar a little. Chase is with him. CHRIS: Dude, shouldn't you be, uh, like, prepping tric or something right now? CHASE: Nope. Last night was my last shift. CHRIS: Wait, today's the day? CHASE: Today is the day. CHRIS: You know what this means, right? Oh, man. CHASE: No. No strip club today. I literally have to report for duty tonight, and I haven't even packed. CHRIS: Dude, are you scared? 'Cause I'm not gonna lie. If it was Chris Keller, I'd be in Canada right "aboot" now, eh? CHASE: That's why Chris Keller didn't enlist in the air force. CHRIS: Yeah, that's one of several reasons, the biggest being no access to fine tail. Ooh. Are there gonna be girls in your clan or troop or whatever you call it? CHASE: I-I don't know. Maybe. CHRIS: Ooh, what if it's your lieutenant or your, um, commander-in-chief or something? Dude, what if she's super hot? Oh, bro, we need a game plan... CHASE: Dude! Stop. CHRIS: All right. All right. I'll keep this little fantasy to myself. What's wrong, man? You are worried, aren't you? CHASE: I'm not worried about going overseas. I'm just worried about Chuck. I wish I didn't have to leave right now. CHRIS: Dude, don't worry about kid Keller, man. He's gonna be cool. CHASE: I don't know, man. He was just so weird last night...Lying about his dad and his bruises. CHRIS: Whoa, dude. Careful of jumping to conclusions on something like that. Kids get bruises. Besides, he's probably just lying 'cause he wants his dad to seem cool. CHASE: Yeah. NALEY'S HOUSE Quinn and Haley breakfast. QUINN: Okay. So, what do you want to do now? Do you want to watch another movie? HALEY: Quinn, listen, I really appreciate what you're doing, but nothing's gonna take my mind off of Nathan. QUINN: I know. I just think that you should try to think positive and not let your mind wander to those worst places. HALEY: I'm doing the best that I can, but every day that goes by without me hearing anything, the more that I feel like... I just keep praying for that phone to ring and somebody to tell me tat he's okay and he's coming home. (Telephone rings, Haley takes the call) HALEY(at phone): Hello? Yes, it is. Yeah. (She hangs up) HALEY: They found someone. They think it might be Nathan. I'm supposed to go identify the body. HOPITAL CENTRE Clay and Logan are still together. CLAY: Man, buddy. I'm so sorry for crashing your plane. I don't know what happened. LOGAN: Who cares? That was the coolest thing I have ever seen. CLAY: Ever? Really? I guess you are only like 2. LOGAN: Nuh-unh! Want to come help me put this thing back together? CLAY: Most definitely. Ooh, but I have to go see Dr. Alvarez first. But, you know, maybe I'll blow him off. I don't feel like going up there anyway. LOGAN: Why? Don't you like Dr. A? CLAY: Yeah, he's okay, but he's always working me over with really hard questions I don't like to answer. LOGAN: Well, I like him... And the suckers he gives out. CLAY: Oh, those suckers are clutch. LOGAN: I think he's just trying to help all of us. Plus, he said I might be done coming here for a while. CLAY: You're leaving me? That's not fair. How come you get to go? LOGAN: Probably because I answer all the questions he asks me. CLAY: Yeah. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke comes home. JULIAN: Hey, baby. What's going on? BROOKE: He came to the restaurant this morning. JULIAN: Who did? BROOKE: Xavier. They let him out last night. He just... stared at me, like he wanted to do something awful. JULIAN: He's just a low-life who's trying to scare you. BROOKE: This is different than last time. We have two defenseless babies now. JULIAN: I know, but don't let him freak you out. Besides, if he shows up again, I'll kick his ass. CHUCK'S HOUSE Chase comes in. CHUCK'S MOTHER: Chuck isn't here right now. CHASE: Uh, that's fine. I was actually hoping to talk to you. CHUCK'S MOTHER: Okay. CHASE: Has everything been okay at home lately? I mean, I know Chuck's dad is back... CHUCK'S MOTHER: Why are you asking me that? CHASE: It's... It's just I saw some bruises on Chuck, and... CHUCK'S MOTHER: No. It's nothing like that. CHASE: Nothing like what? CHUCK'S MOTHER: Like whatever you're trying to say. CHASE: Mrs. Scolnik, it's me. If there's anything you need to tell me, you can. CHUCK'S MOTHER: You need to go. (Chuck's father joins them) CHUCK'S FATHER: What's the babysitter doing here? CHASE: I was telling Mrs. Scolnik I noticed some bruises on huck. He told me they were from his bike, but it doesn't make sense. CHUCK'S FATHER: You calling my son a liar? CHASE: No. I was just wondering... CHUCK'S FATHER: Are you accusing me of something? You know what? Why don't you get the hell out of here?And don't bother coming back, neither. CHASE: If I do find out those bruises are from anything other than a bike, I will absolutely be coming back here, and the next visit won't be quite so cordial. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley has still the phone in her hands. She is shocked. HALEY(Voice-over): Nathan... From the second I heard those words, "we found a body" my eart sank. I couldn't move. I couldn't think. And now that I've managed to at least move, all I can think about is one moment you and I shared years ago. Over and over, that same insignificant moment repeats in my head. I-I can't tell you why. ROAD Quinn leads Haley to the morgue. HALEY(voice-over): It was your birthday, your first year playing for Maryland. Jamie must have been 2. You said you didn't want to do anything, but I insisted on at least having your favorite ice cream. You remember this? When I brought back mint chocolate chip and you asked why I thought that was your favorite, I was so confused. Any time we had gotten ice cream together, that's what you always chose. But... you told me rocky road was your favorite. And you looked at me so tenderly, Nathan, and you said you always chose mint chocolate chip because you knew it was my favorite flavor. MORGUE Quinn and Haley come in. HALEY(Voice-over): And that's when I realized for the first time that you hadn't been making any of your decisions for yourself. You were doing everything for me all along, for your family. and it occurred to me that we still had so much to learn about each other and since then, Nathan, I've learned about the wonderfully selfless, humble, strong man you are. Nathan, I can't hear that you'll never come home again, that I'll never learn something new about you again, never experience your selflessness, your love, your warm touch again. Nathan... please. Haley enters in the room to identify the body. HALEY(voice-over): Have we really had our last conversation? Our last kiss? I don't know what I'd do if...Please. Haley sees the body and tells it's not Nathan. She cries. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley goes home with Quinn. She finds Deb is here. DEB: Thank God it wasn't him. PRISON Dan visits an ex-friend. DAN: So, I hear officer burns had an accident. MAN: How'd you know about that? DAN: He and I had a little conversation last night. MAN: Is that right? DAN: Yeah. More or less. MAN: I hear you talk him into a coma. DAN: I can be very convincing. MAN: Well, we all appreciate what you said to that sadistic bastard. DAN: I hated that son of a bitch when I was in here. I know you did, too, so you're welcome. MAN: I assume this little gift of yours comes with conditions, huh? DAN: It's about my son. CLUB TRIC Chase takes a drink and Skills comes at the bar. SKILLS: You got a bottle of clarity back there? I got something I need to work out. CHASE: Uh, I wish I could. I got called to active duty, so I'm no longer bar manager. SKILLS: I thought you was just a bartender. CHASE: Okay. Since it is you and you clearly need an ear, guess I could serve one last drink and listen to one last problem. SKILLS: Mm. Good man, chase. You're a good man. CHASE: So, what's up? SKILLS: Okay. You know me and Lauren used to date, right? Well, every once in a while, we'll still, you know... CHASE: What? SKILLS: You know. CHASE: Hang out? Tandem bike rides? You had a book club? What? SKILLS: Dude, really? CHASE: I'm screwing with you. So, what's your problem? SKILLS: Well, I've been gone, and we haven't, you know, in a while. I saw her today, and she was pregnant. I'm talking about big-as-a-house pregnant. Man, I guess that explains why she was acting a little weird the last few months when I called or texted. So, what should I do? CHASE: I'm gonna go really far out on a limb here and say you should go talk to her. SKILLS: Damn, you good, dawg. I see why they let you manage this place. CHASE: So, what if it is yours? SKILLS: Then I'm gonna man up. Hell, I'm not about to be a bad father. There's already too many of those out there as it is. CHASE: You're right about that. SKILLS: I tell you one thing, though. I did not expect to wake up today and find out that I'm a father. HOPITAL CENTRE Clay has a seance with Doctor Alvarez. DOCTOR: Maybe let's talk for a few minutes first. CLAY: Seriously? I can't have a sucker? What am I, 6? DOCTOR: Hey, I'm just recommending a simple work-then-reward method. It might help us get somewhere. Hey, I use it all the time on myself. CLAY: Okay. What do you want to talk about? DOCTOR: Let's talk about Sara. What happened the day that she died? CLAY: We've already talked about this. DOCTOR: Actually, no, we haven't. Not without you leaving or, unchanging the subject. Now, you've been willing to talk about anything up until that day, anything after that day, but not the day itself. Come on, Clay. We have to at least try. If you truly want to get better, you have got to let go of your reservations and open yourself up...No matter the risk. KAREN'S CAFE Brooke arrives in the cafe. BROOKE: Hey, everybody. ALL: Hi, Brooke. Hi, Brooke. Hi, Brooke. Hi, Brooke. GIRL: Hi, Brooke. XAVIER: Hi, Brooke. BROOKE: What is that creep doing here? WAITRESS: I don't know he. That's his third slice of cherry pie.He says we have the best in Tree Hill. JULIAN: Hey, Brooke, did you bring... (Brooke tells Julian that Xavier is here) JULIAN: All right. Let's go. Get up. XAVIER: I'm still eating. Hey, I wasn't doing anything wrong. There's no law against eating. Julian gets Xavier out. JULIAN: Go, before I bat the hell out of of you. XAVIER: Just wanted some cherry pie. JULIAN: I'm telling you right now that prison will be the least of your worries if you come near my family again. XAVIER: I wasn't doing anything! NALEY'S HOUSE Haley talks with Deb. DEB: And the police don't know anything? HALEY: Not that they've told me. Thank you. Deb, I can't shake the feeling that Dan is involved in this somehow. DEB: Oh, Haley. As screwed up as he is, I can't believe for a second that Dan had anything to do with this. Any good Dan has ever done has been for Nathan. HALEY: Well, if it wasn't him directly, it could easily have been someone that he's pissed off somewhere down the line. I don't know. I have so many possibilities that are just swirling around in my head every day, and each one is worse than the last. And I don't have anything else to go on. PRISON Dan always talks with the guy. DAN: Last place we saw him, I saw that...painted on the wall behind him. MAN: I don't know anything about the kidnapping. DAN: Give me a name... Someone who might know about it. MAN: Does the name Constantin mean anything to you? DAN: No. MAN: What about Zoran? Or Dimitri? DAN: Dimitri. FLASHBACK, PARK Dan is going to talks with Clay's dealer. DEALER(at phone): Yeah. Yeah, Dimitri, I got it, okay? PRISON MAN: You know him? DAN: Maybe. MAN: Well, I hope you don't. These guys are assassins. They're ruthless. If they do, in fact, have your boy, well, I'm afraid it's probably too late. DAN: We didn't talk. MAN: Scott. That, uh, TV show of yours... You think we'll ever find redemption for the things we've done? DAN: I wouldn't count on it. MAN: Then I'll see you in hell, my friend. I'll save you a seat. CLINN'S HOUSE Quinn comes home and finds David in the terrace. QUINN: David? DAVID: Hey. QUINN: Oh, uh, hi. What are you doing here? DAVID: Oh, I heard about Nathan. QUINN: Yeah. It's awful. DAVID: Yeah, I, uh, just cam town to see if there was something I could do. I stopped by their house first, but nobody was there. QUINN: Unfortunately, I don't think that there's anything any of us can do, but it was really nice of you to drive all this way to support Haley. DAVID: Nah. I still consider Haley and Nathan family. And you, too, as weird as that may sound. QUINN: It doesn't sound weird. How've you been? DAVID: Uh, good. Real good, actually. I'm seeing someone. And don't worry. It's not another one of your sisters. I've now decided to date outside of the James family, and apparently, there are more women out there in the world, so... QUINN: Really? Well, I'm really glad you're happy. DAVID: Thanks. What about you? How's Clay? HOPITAL CENTRE Clay is still in seance with the doctor. CLAY: Oh, that's at least a four-pointer. DOCTOR: At least. CLAY: I was saying something stupid about pens, and she collapsed. She died. I called 911. DOCTOR: What happened next? CLAY: I told you yesterday. I drove around. I stayed at hotels. I thought about... DOCTOR: No, Clay. What happened the day she died? That day. That moment. CLAY: I don't remember. DOCTOR: Try. Clay, please don't leave again. CLAY: You know, I don't remember. DOCTOR: We are close to something here. Come on, Clay. What happened? You have to go back there. It's the only way you can leave it behind. CHASE'S LOFT Chris comes in with beer. CHRIS: Dude! One more little sixer before you go off and save the world? CHASE: "Article 133...Any commissioned officer who is convicted of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. I'd be subject to dismissal and incarceration for up to three years. CHRIS: Wait, you're saying you can't have a beer? CHASE: I'm saying that's what will happen to me as an officer if I get caught beating the hell out of Chuck's father. CHRIS: Whoa! Dude. Hey, maybe you should think about this for a second. You don't even know what's going on over there for sure. CHASE: I got all the confirmation I needed this morning. The guy's a douche. CHRIS: Well, yeah, he's a douche, maybe you're right. CHASE: Maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions. CHRIS: Seriously. Look, I'll keep an eye on Chuck. And if I find out anything for sure, I'll take care of it right away... With people that deal with this kind of thing. CHASE: Promise me you'll do that? You'll look after him? CHRIS: I'll look after him. I promise. CHASE: Just one. I got to go say goodbye to Chuck before I take off. NALEY'S HOUSE Brooke comes in with Lunch for Haley. HALEY: Hi. BROOKE: Hi. I brought you lunch. HALEY: Thanks. BROOKE: I've been calling, but it was going to voicemail. HALEY: Oh, sorry. Um, Deb actually came over, and then I've just been out of it for a while. The police... they pulled a body out of the river and thought it might be Nathan. I had to go down and identify it. It wasn't. BROOKE: Oh, my God, Haley. HALEY: That was the literally the hardest thing I've ever had to do. If it had been Nathan when they pulled back that sheet, I..Ink I would have died right there. BROOKE: Come here. I'm so sorry. I, um... I know it's not much, but Julian's been working with Dan, following some lead. HALEY: What... what lead? BROOKE: I don't know. Apparently, Dan won't say much. HALEY: What could Dan know that the police don't? SOUND STAGE Deb comes in to see Dan. DAN: Deb... What are you doing here? DEB: I came to see what you were doing to find our son. DAN: Everything I can. How's Haley doing? DEB: Better than anyone could imagine in her situation. She's upset with you, though. I can't say I blame her. 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 right again. Later, Julian and Dan are going to make a round. JULIAN: Knows anything about Nathan? DAN: I heard him say "Dimitri." JULIAN: How do you know it's the same guy? DAN: I don't. But we're in Tree Hill, Nathan's missing, and how many Dimitris do you know? JULIAN: So, the man who went to prison for attacking Brooke was just paroled. He came to the café today. I threw him out and thrat to kick his ass. DAN: So? JULIAN: So, he said he wasn't doing anything. Maybe he wasn't. I don't know. Am I just supposed to give him the benefit of the doubt now that he's served his time or something? DAN: The guy's an ex-con. I wouldn't trust him for a second. JULIAN: Yeah. He can have his second chance somewhere else. KAREN'S CAFE Skills meets Lauren to talk. SKILLS: Hey, Lauren. Thank you so much for meeting me. LAUREN: Antwon, is everything okay? You sounded so urgent on the phone. SKILLS: Look, I just want you to know that I've been thinking a whole lot about you and about your situation. Well, our situation. And I just want to let you know that... I want to do the right thing for you and the baby. I mean, I want to be there 100% I'm talking lamaze, midnight runs for ice cream, all that. And I'm an excellent baby-proofer, so you don't have to worry about that. LAUREN: That is so sweet. It's just, um, somebody else already has that covered. The father. Antwon, it's not yours. David comes in. DAVID: Her you go, babe. (He kisses her) LAUREN: Oh, thank you. DAVID: Hey. Skills, right? SKILLS: Uh, yeah, hey. DAVID: Yeah. Hey. SKILLS: I just want to offer you guys my baby-proofing expertise. You never can be too careful, right? O, and, um... I'll even get you half off. DAVID: "Antwon Taylor. Sports coordinator. I've got the "skills." SKILLS: Oh, you got flip that over. DAVID: "Antwon Taylor. Baby-proofer. I've got the "skills". LAUREN: Thank you. Quinn enters in the cafe and sees the band. QUINN: David. Hi, Lauren. LAUREN: Hey. QUINN: Oh! Oh, pregnant's the girl you're see... Uh, Lauren's the girl you're seeing? DAVID: Yeah. You guys know each other? HOPITAL CENTRE Clay talks about Sara's dad. CLAY: I remember the odd look she gave me. She was in the kitchen. "Angel flying too close to the ground" was playing on the record player. She liked the scratches and pops of the vinyl albums. And then her eyes rolled back into her head, and I watched hedy just quit. Se just stopped. So I ran to her. And I was thinking that no matter how hard I pressed my legs against the ground, it wasn't fast enough. It took me an eternity to get to her. And as I was holding her, I remember thinking, "this must be a dream." You know, as if my brain was telling me that this couldn't be reality. 25-year-old women don't just drop dad. I waited for her to wake up. I was numb. I couldn't speak or move. I just stood over her while they put her on a stretcher... And pulled the sheet over her face. I was thinking, "this can't be real. This can't be real." DOCTOR: What happened next, Clay? CLAY: I was thinking, "I can't go on without her. I just... I can't possibly." DOCTOR: What do you see, Clay? CLAY: I can't talk about this. DOCTOR: Can't or don't want to? CLAY: Either. KAREN'S CAFE Quinn takes a drink and talks with Brooke. BROOKE: Wait. So, David is with Lauren. QUINN: Mm-hmm. BROOKE: Our Lauren. QUINN: Yeah. BROOKE: And the... is his? QUINN: Yep. I mean, I'm happy for them both, but it's kind of weird. BROOKE: I bet. QUINN: You know, with David, I could never see us having kids. You know? I loved how spontaneous our life was early on. BROOKE: And what about now? With Clay? QUINN: With Clay, it's different. You know, I'm less concerned about our future. Whatever happens, happens. It'll be a dream come true, whatever it is. Xavier enters in the cafe. BROOKE: You need to leave now, before I call the police. XAVIER: I forgot my phone. That's all. BROOKE: How convenient. Now go. XAVIERS: You know, I haven't done anything. BROOKE: Haven't done anything? XAVIER: I served my time. I have just as much right to be around Tree Hill as anybody. BROOKE: And I have the right to refuse service to anybody, and I'm not serving you. Now go. DAN'S CAR Julian and Dan are in front of a bar and see Dimitri's friend. DAN: There's that son of a bitch. JULIAN: So, what's the plan? DAN: I'm gonna have a conversation with him. JULIAN: Oh, like a conversation conversation? DAN: I'm gonna whatever kind it takes to get answers. JULIAN: All right. Hold on. You can't just walk up to him. DAN: Why not? JULIAN: Because he probably has a gn, for one. And those guys, for two. What do you think would happen if they made one phone call saying that Dan Scott is snooping around, looking for his son? All I'm saying is now that we know where he is, we should come up with some sort of plan. POLICE STATION Haley comes to have more information. HALEY: So, you're telling me that you're actually no closer to finding my husband now than you were a week ago? POLICEMAN: I'm sorry, ma'am. I can point you to the detectives in charge of the case, but they'll tell you the same thing. HALEY: The detectives?! You mean those guys back there who are watching the game and laughing and drinking coffee?! Nobody is doing anything to find my husband, and I'm tired of it! POLICEMAN: Hey, hey. Look, look. I know that you're upset, but you do need to calm down. HALEY: It has been a week! This is absolutely absurd! Do you have any idea... POLICEMAN: We are doing everything that we can! HALEY: It's not enough! No! POLICEMAN: If you don't calm down, we'll have to remove you from the bulding. HALEY: I went to the morgue this afternoon! POLICEMAN: Is there anyone we can call? Deb comes to pick up. DEB: Haley... HALEY: Nobody is making this a priority. It's like Nathan's missing, and it's yesterday's news. DEB: Maybe you should talk to Dan. HALEY: I have trusted Dan before, and he always makes me feel like an idiot for it. DEB: I know we both have many, many reasons to hate him, but Dan may be our only hope. HALEY: God. CHUCK'S HOUSE Chase comes in and hears that it's screaming in the house. WADE: Tell me where you've been running your mouth! CHUCK: No! WADE: Boy, answer me! CHUCK: No! WADE: Tell me what you said! CHUCK: Ow! WADE: Answer me right now! Answer me! (Chase takes a barre) Mrs. Scolnik: Wade, stop! Please! WADE: What'd you say, boy?! Huh?! You been running your mouth?! CHUCK: No! No! WADE: You been running [ Indistinct shouting ] CHUCK'S MOTHER: You're hurting him! Let him go! Let him go! (Chuck gets out and finds on Chase) CHASE: You stay out here. Hear me? Chase enters in the house and fight Wade to dad. WADE: I thought I told you stay... ow! STREET Haley is walking on the street. KAREN'S CAFE Julian comes to see Brooke. JULIAN: You didn't call, so I'm guessing that son of a bitch didn't show up again? BROOKE: He did, actually, but it was only for a second, and I handled it pretty effortlessly, if I must say. JULIAN: Oh, yeah? BROOKE: Mm-hmm. You inspired me today. It was pretty sexy, actually, you getting all protective. JULIAN: You liked that, did you? BROOKE: Mm-hmm. You were right. I think he was just trying to scare me. JULIAN: You need to call me if you ever see him again. BROOKE: Okay. Any news on Nathan? JULIAN: No, not quite, but I think we're getting closer. BROOKE: I can't believe this is happening. It doesn't even seem real. JULIAN: Yeah, I know. BROOKE: I feel so bad for Haley. I can't imagine. (Julian sees Xavier by the window) JULIAN: Hey! (Julian goes out and no one is here) HOPITAL CENTRE Clay walks in the hallway and remembers the Sara's d*ad day. And he remember there is a bedroom, baby's bedroom. He has a son with Sara. It's Logan. He comes back to see Doctor Alvarez. DOCTOR: What did you see? CLAY: You know what I saw. I saw my son. You're telling me that he's my son? DOCTOR: I'm not telling you anything. You have to tell me. CLAY: How'd you do this? You're screwing with my head. DOCTOR: Clay, I haven't done anything. Like I said before, I believe your mind his been trying to tell you something for quite some time now. CLAY: So, you've known about this the whole time? You let me walk around, unaware of my own child? For years! Until I'm some sort of zombie waking up on merry-go-rounds? Why the hell didn't you tell me? DOCTOR: We tried. CLAY: Who's "we"? DOCTOR: Sara's parents. Me. Clay, I told you every day after Sara died. I told you, but you blocked it out. You weren't ready. CLAY: Well, I'm not ready now, either. He said that you told him he's gonna be leaving soon. Why?Because he's gonna be leaving with me? He's not leaving with me. Clay goes away. Logan sees him. LOGAN: Clay? Want to put the plane back together now? Clay, are you ready? Where are you going? Clay? CHUCK'S HOUSE Chase is arrested. CLINN'S HOUSE Quinn comes back and sees Clay at home. QUINN: Clay! Clay... What are you doing home? Is everything okay? CLAY: You know that breakthrough that we were hoping for? I had it. QUINN: Look...It's okay. Nothing you say is gonna change us. I promise. SOUND STAGE Haley comes in to see Dan. HALEY(voice-over): Forgive me, Nathan. I just don't know what else to do. DAN: Haley? HALEY: Tell me what you know.

DAN'S CAR Dan shows to Haley the guy who know where Nathan is. HALEY: That's the man that has Nathan? DAN: No. A guy named Dmitri has Nathan. That's a low-life drug dealer. HALEY: And? DAN: And I overheard you and Quinn talking about Clay's drug problem, so I decided to discourage this dealer. HALEY: What does this have to do with Nathan? DAN: When I approached him, I overheard him talking on the phone to a guy named Dmitri. How many Dmitris do you know in Tree Hill? (She starts to open the car's door) DAN: Wait. NATHAN: I have waited long enough. I want my husband back. DAN: What are you gonna do? You gonna walk up to him and ask him nicely to tell you where Dmitri is? HALEY: I don't plan on asking him nicely. DAN: Look out that guy. Take a good look. You see anything there that should make us concerned? HALEY: Yeah. He has a gn. DAN: He has a gn. And we don't. So we have to be smart. HALEY: Okay. All right. So, what's your plan? CHUCK'S HOUSE Chase is in the police's car, arrested. CHASE: I'm not the one you're supposed to be arresting. That guy was beating his son. And I stopped him. The policeman asks questions to Chuck. POLICEMAN: Son, we need to ask you a few questions about tonight. Need you be honest with me, okay? Did your father hurt you earlier? CHUCK'S MOTHER: Go ahead, sweetie. Tell the officer the truth. Tell him your father never... Laid a hand on you. POLICEMAN: Son, this is important. Did your father ht you? CHUCK: No. CLINN'S HOUSE Clay announces to Quinn his discover. QUINN: Clay? CLAY: You know the traumatic event that I was hiding from everyone,including myself? Well, we, uh, we figured it out. And... He just had a birthday. We had a son, Quinn. Me and Sara. I have a son. QUINN: H-how is that possible? CLAY: Somehow I erased him from my memory after her death. It's the reason for my fugue state. QUINN: I mean, a-are you sure? CLAY: Yeah, I'm sure. Oh, God. It's been like waking up from a dream. I just... The reality that I thought I knew before made sense to me, but now I'm awake, and I know what's true. I have a son. And, Quinn... It's Logan. Logan's my son. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke and Julian are in the babies' room. BROOKE: Just knowing that Xavier's walking the same streets as us makes me feel sick. I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight. JULIAN: Maybe it wasn't him at Karen's. Maybe it was just in my head. He's putting us both so on edge, maybe we're just jumping at shadows. BROOKE: Do you really believe that? JULIAN: I don't know. What I do know is that I'm here, and our boys are here, and I'm not gonna let anything happen to them. Or you. I promise. (Mobile plays "rock-a-bye baby") TREE HILL CAFE Someone enters in the cafe. TARA: Sorry. We're closed for the night. XAVIER: I know. TARA: We're closed. XAVIER: So you said. TARA: Can I help you with something? XAVIER: Yes, I think you can. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Skills wakes Mouth up to go running. SKILLS: Dude, wake up. MOUTH: W-what are you doing? SKILLS: Taking my dawg out for a run. MOUTH: You got a dog? SKILLS: No, you my dawg, dawg. MOUTH: Did Millie put you up to this? SKILLS: No. You did, chubs. MOUTH: Am I really that bad? SKILLS: I'm thinking about changing your name from mouth to chins. Now let's go! Move, move, move! MOUTH: All right. I'm up. I'm up. CLINN'S HOUSE Clay looks Sara's stuff. Quinn comes in. QUINN: Morning. CLAY: We had a crib with his name above it. And a mobile of planes. I can see it so clearly now. I-I just can't believe I ever forgot about it. I just left him there. I had a son, and I abandoned him. I mean, trauma or no trauma, how the hell can someone erase their own child for six years? I just left him there and never went back. QUINN: That doesn't mean that you can't go back now. CLAY: I don't know if I can. QUINN: Of course you can. And I'm gonna go with you. KAREN'S CAFE A guy arrive in the cafe with tools. GUY: Hey. Here to fix your toilet. BROOKE: I... think you have the wrong address. I didn't call for a plumber. (A other one arrives too) OTHER GUY: Hi. I hear you got a... You got a backed-up toilet. BROOKE: No one called for a plumber. Our toilet is fine. OTHER GUY: Um, no, a Brooke Davis called me, and she said to get here quick. "The toilet is backed up on account of the muffins at Karen's cafe." BROOKE: I did not call a plumber. There is nothing wrong with our toilet. And there is certainly nothing wrong with our muffins. Why would I volunteer so much information? PLUMBER: Brooke Davis? I'm here about the broken crapper. BROOKE: Crap. Excuse me. Hi. It's not broken. TREE HILL CAFE Brooke wants information from Tara. She falls on Xavier. BROOKE: Where is that slut you call a boss? XAVIER: Hi, Brooke. Welcome to Tree Hill cafe. How can I help you... Neighbor? POLICE STATION Chris picked Chase from prison. CHASE: Thanks for bailing me out. CHRIS: Not a problem. Couldn't leave you in the clink too long, pretty little thing like you. Just don't try to skip bail. I got season two of "dog the bounty hunter" at home. I picked up some pointers. Bro, I'll catch you. CHASE: Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere. TREE HILL CAFE Brooke wants explications from Tara. BROOKE: What the hell are you doing? TARA: Um, running a decent cafe, unlike you. BROOKE: How could you hire him? He's a criminal. TARA: Who, Xavier? He needed a job. We were hiring. Plus, I get a stipend from the government for hiring a felon... Win-win. BROOKE: He's a felon because he kidnapped a child, robbed me, and bat the hell out of me. TARA: Oh, my God. I-I stand corrected. So really it's a win-win-win, if you count the "beating the hell out of you" part. BROOKE: Okay. You want to hang signs and send roach-infested plants and clog my doorway with the super Mario brothers, that's fine, but he is dangerous. He mrder a kid! TARA: Correct me if I'm wrong, but, um, didn't you guys have a convicted mrder flipping burgers for you not too long ago? BROOKE: Tara, please don't do this. I cannot have him working so close to me. TARA: So if he stays, you go? Perfect! So, really, it's a win-win-win-win. Do be a stranger! RIVERCOURT Skills and Mouth are running. Mouth is tired. MOUTH: Hey. I'm out of shape. SKILLS: Damn, dawg, you went from De Niro in "Taxi Driver" to De Niro in "Raging Bull." What the hell happened? MOUTH: Well, when you have a job like mine, you have to eat out a lot. SKILLS: Yeah, well, when you have a job like yours, you got to go to the gym a lot. MOUTH: Well, you plan on going, but something comes up,and you put it off to the next day, so you wake up a little heavier. You string enough of these days together, and you just wake up heavy. SKILLS: You know, I heard somewhere that unhappy people sometimes eat a lot to make theirself feel better. And I'm saying this to you because you just don't seem like the same happy-go-lucky mouth I used to know. MOUTH: Yeah? SKILLS: Yeah, it's like if a sad mouth from a different dimension came here and hunted down the happy mouth and just ate him. MOUTH: You know, I-I have felt a bit of a weight lately, but I don't know the cause of it. SKILLS: I think it's your ass. MOUTH: No, I have a great relationship with Millie. We have a good life, a good job. I'm pretty happy. SKILLS: Yeah, well, I know something 50 push-ups. MOUTH: Are you serious? Would you settle for five? 'Cause five would make me unhappy, too. SKILLS: Wow. TRAILER Dan prepares gn. Haley is not satisfied with the plan. HALEY: That's what you meant by being smart? DAN: He has a gn. Now so do I. HALEY: And this is your master plan. DAN: This is not a disagreement with someone at a pta meeting, Haley. These are dangerous people. You want Nathan back, this might be what it takes to get him back. HALEY: You are gonna get yourself klled. DAN: You have a better plan? HALEY: Yeah, I do. CHASE'S LOFT Chase gets out his uniform and takes his car's key. HOPITAL CENTRE Clay and Quinn have a conversation with doctor Alvarez. CLAY: How is it that I have a son, and no one felt like maybe they should share this information with me? DOCTOR: When Sara was taken from you... CLAY: When Sara died. DOCTOR: All right. When your wife died, in order to cope with the sudden loss, your brain removed the one thing that reminded you the most of her... Logan. We tried, Clay. We tried telling you during your early sessions, but you... Or, rather, your brain... Just wouldn't hear it. When Logan was brought up, you would shut down. All progress would be lost. CLAY: So you just quit? QUINN: Clay... DOCTOR: No, it's okay. You quit, Clay. You stopped coming to your sessions, and you just... You disappeared. So the state granted custody to Sara's parents. QUINN: But why has no one tried to contact him since? DOCTOR: I was the one who decided we needed to wait for you to remember on your own. So if you want to be angry, be angry with me. CLAY: I don't want to be angry. I just need some guidance. I left him for six years. What do I do now? DOCTOR: You should go talk to your son. CHUCK'S HOUSE Chase comes in to talk with Chuck's mother. CHUCK'S MOTHER: You shouldn't be here. CHASE: I need a minute. I may be going to jail for a while... And I want to make sure that Chuck is gonna be okay...That your husband is not going to hurt him anymore. Not tomorrow, not next week, not six months from now. CHUCK'S MOTHER: When he gets in one of his moods... I don't know what to do. I try to stop him. CHASE: You need to try harder. And if that means getting him out of your lives, then that's what you need to do. Otherwise, it's going to be Chuck who ends up in the hospital. Please. Do it for Chuck. (Chase starts to leave. Chuck gets out) CHUCK: Chase! I'm sorry. CHASE: Yeah. I know. OFFICE Brooke and Julian are in an office to talk about Xavier. BROOKE: Well, first, he came to my cafe and asked for a job. Then he came back and ordered food. And now he's working across the street from us. JULIAN: And he may have been watching us through the cafe window last night. MAN: What it sounds like to me is we have an ex-con who was able to find employment shortly after being paroled and who occasionally gets hungry. I wish all my parolees were this way. BROOKE: I'm sorry, the way you say that makes us sound like we're loony. JULIAN: Aren't there rules against making contact with someone you've attcked? MAN: Yes, there are. BROOKE: Well, there... He broke the rules. MAN: But it's a small town. I mean, paths will cross at times. BROOKE: He came to my place of work and asked me for a job on purpose. MAN: Xavier informed me of that incident shortly after it happened. He was not aware that you had any connection with the cafe. He was just looking for work. JULIAN: Come on! BROOKE: He came back after that and... ate pie! MAN: If it will make you feel better, I will call him this afternoon and reiterate to him that he needs to stay away from you. JULIAN: So that's it. MAN: Unfortunately, yes. I mean, that's how the system works. Unless you have proof that Xavier's doing something illegal, there's nothing more that I can do. CEMETERY Mouth and Skills makes a while here. MOUTH: Tell me this is a shortcut. SKILLS: Nope. It's the long way. But at least we get to stop by and say hi to Jimmy. MOUTH: We were gonna host "sportscenter" together. We even had our own catchphrases. Mine was "wammo kablammo," and his was, "now, that's a spicy meatball." SKILLS: Man, y'all was some dorks. MOUTH: There's not a day that goes by where I don't think about him. Somehow I still feel guilty about how I lost touch with him. SKILLS: Yeah, mouth, but that wasn't your fault, man. MOUTH: Yeah, I know. I miss you, Jimmy. KAREN'S CAFE Brooke is in the cafe. Haley passes to ask advice to Brooke. BROOKE: He's over there, you know. HALEY: Who? BROOKE: Xavier. HALEY: The Xavier who attcked you and... BROOKE: I didn't tell you? HALEY: No. BROOKE: He got hired at the tree slut cafe, and it is wigging me out! HALEY: What? He can't do that, can he? BROOKE: Apparently. I... you know what? I can't even talk about it. You have some good news about Nathan? HALEY: No. Um no. The police are doing nothing. BROOKE: I'm sorry. HALEY: So I went to Dan. BROOKE: Really? HALEY: Yeah. At this point, I'm just willing to do whatever it takes to get Nathan back. Dan has a lead, and, um, that's why I'm here. I need your help with something. BROOKE: Anything. BAR Haley walked into the dive bar wearing a very trashy outfit. HALEY: Well? You just gonna sit there and stare? Or you want to buy me another one? CHASE'S LOFT Chris is with Chase. They talk about Chuck. CHRIS: So, what do you think's gonna happen? CHASE: My best bet... I'm going to get a dishonorable discharge, and once the dust settles, police will be there to cart me off to prison. Good times. CHRIS: Dude, I'm sorry. I don't regret what I did for a second. CHASE: Guy had it coming... Beating on a kid. CHRIS: And Chuck lied, huh? CHASE: He was just scared. He's been through a lot. CHRIS: Yeah, but still, you don't deserve to go to jail. KAREN'S CAFE Brooke vents to Julian at the cafe about Xavier working across the street. BROOKE: He should be in jail. I know I sound like a broken record, but I don't think I can handle seeing his psycho face every day. JULIAN: Maybe you should stop staring at him through the window, then. What I mean is, it's probably best if we both keep an eye on him, you know, like a two-person neighborhood watch. BROOKE: I know what he's gonna do. He's gonna act all normal and un-Norman bates-ish, and then once I drop my guard... bam! That's when he strikes. JULIAN: Well, actually, Norman bates acted relatively normal in public. It was behind closed doors that he was a psycho, so you can't really... You probably don't need a film-history lesson right now. BROOKE: No. Haley's helping Dan look for Nathan. JULIAN: Really? That's an odd pairing. BROOKE: You know, the police aren't doing anything, so she's looking for him herself. There he goes. Off to trture kittens or make dolls out of human hair or whatever nutjobs do. JULIAN: Let's follow him. BROOKE: Are you serious? JULIAN: Brooke, we have a family to protect. Having that creep on the streets puts our boys at risk. Okay, Haley has the right idea. I say we follow him and see what he's up to. They need proof that he's up to no good? Let's get proof. BROOKE: So the predator becomes the prey. LABEL'S OFFICE Chris seeks an idea for Chase. CHRIS: We have an emergency. Chase is in trouble. Come on. What are we gonna do? I know. This is big. I'm speechless, too. He helped this little kid, Chuck, and the kid lied to the cops. You believe that? GIRL: No. CHRIS: We could have a benefit concert, get the media on our side. Or we could have a "save chase" Twitter feed. OTHER GIRL: Or you could just go talk to the kid. CHRIS: Or that. Yeah. Okay. Okay. These are good ideas. Let's keep brainstorming in case we need a fall-back. Great work, team! Good enthusiasm! HOPITAL CENTRE Clay is stressed and Quinn tries to reassure him about Logan. QUINN: What's wrong? CLAY: I don't know how to do this. I mean, what am I supposed to say to him? QUINN: You've been talking to him every day for the last week. CLAY: Yeah, but that was before I knew he was my son. QUINN: He adores you. So just talk to him like always, and at some point, tell him you're his father. Clay... Just walk over and say, "hi, Logan." Everything else will come naturally. Clay is sitting near Logan to talk with him. LOGAN: Hey, gambit. CLAY: Gambit, huh? LOGAN: Yeah. I'm Wolverine, and you're gambit. CLAY: Nice. LOGAN: So, where have you been? Did you "fugue" again? CLAY: No, I-I didn't fugue. Something came up. And it was something I had to think about, so I thought it'd be better if I didn't do that here. So, you've been eating well? LOGAN: Huh? CLAY: You know, like, lots of leafy greens... LOGAN: You're weird. Who's this guy? CLAY: Oh, that's deadpool. LOGAN: Is he a good guy? CLAY: Uh, it's hard to say. He's a hero for hire, so sometimes he's good, but sometimes he's bad. The big thing about this guy, though, is that he has healing powers like Wolverine. And he's a bit of a smartass. LOGAN: You just said a swear! CLAY: Sorry. You know, swearing is bad, so you just... just don't do it. And if you could, maybe don't mention it to Dr. "A" on your next visit? LOGAN: Okay. CLAY: Hey, Logan, has, uh, has the doctor ever talked to you about your parents? LOGAN: Sometimes. CLAY: Did he ever tell you what happened to them? LOGAN: Yeah. My mom went to heaven when I was a baby. CLAY: How about your dad? LOGAN: He got really, really sad when she died... So sad that he had to go away. CLAY: That sounds rough. LOGAN: But I don't care, though. Besides, spider-man lost both of his parents, too. CHUCK'S HOUSE Chris visits Chuck. CHRIS: Hey, mini me. You doing okay? CHUCK: Chase is going to jail, and it's all my fault. I should have told the cops the truth. I should have told them that he was just trying to get my dad to stop hitting me. Is he mad at me? CHRIS: No. He understands. He just wants to make sure you're gonna be okay. CHUCK: Are you mad at me? CHRIS: No. No, I'm not mad at you. No, Chris Keller knows how hard it is to do the right thing. Funny thing is, is you keep trying to be like me... Which is understandable. I'm pretty kick-ass. But you should be trying to be like chase. I mean, he did the right thing even though he was afraid of what could happen. STREET Brooke and Julian follow Xavier home and see him sneaking in through the window of a house. BROOKE: Maybe this isn't the best idea. JULIAN: What, stalking the guy who's been stalking us? BROOKE: No, it's not that. This could take forever. What are we supposed to do, follow him all day till he commits a crime? JULIAN: Well, that didn't take very long. BROOKE(at phone): Hello, 911? I'd like to report a break-in. BAR Haley chats up the drug dealer at the dive bar. BILLY: So then I broke his arm. And then I told him if he didn't give me the money he owed me, then I would continue to break every bone in his body... In alphabetical order. Which works, because I started with his arm. HALEY: Oh, right. That's funny. You're funny. You're a real, um, tough guy, huh? I like that in a man. BILLY: You know what I like in a woman? HALEY: Hmm? BILLY: Me. HALEY: Oh. Do your sht. This has been real fun. I think I'm gonna need something else, though. Something that's gonna, you know, get me in the mood,if you know what I'm saying. BILLY: You want to party with me or my product? HALEY: Let's make it a threesome. BILLY: That works for me, girl. HALEY: Come on. (She lures him outside so Dan can knock him out) BILLY: Damn, girl. I can't wait to ht that. DAN: That's just what I was thinking. STREET The police is here. BROOKE: What the hell is taking so long? He should be some prisoner's bitch by now. POLIMAN: Are you the ones that reported the break-in? JULIAN: Yes, sir. Do you need a statement or something? BROOKE: When you arrest him, can I slap the cuffs on him? POLICEMAN: We're not arresting him. BROOKE: What do you mean? JULIAN: What? POLICEMAN: He didn't break in the house. JULIAN: We just saw him climb in the window. POLICEMAN: The house belongs to a friend of his. He's staying there, and he forgot his key. It all checks out. BROOKE: Oh. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Mouth throws out all of the junk food in his apartment. HOPITAL CENTRE Quinn and Dr. A talk about Clay's progress and what they could expect for the future. Meanwhile, Clay plays with Logan. DOCTOR: So, you found him by the pool, on the beach, on the playground. QUINN: All the places you would take your child. DOCTOR: And now that he knows about Logan, the fugue state no longer has a purpose. QUINN: So he's cured? DOCTOR: For the most part. He'll need to go to therapy in order to, uh, work through some of the issues he needs to address. It'll take time. He's on his way. QUINN: We'll get through it. DOCTOR: He told me he loves you, by the way. That totally breaks patient-doctor confidentiality, but... Then, you knew it already, so, what the hell? QUINN: Thank you. COUNCIL MAN: Airman Adams, to attck a civilian is an act that casts shame and embarrassment on your fellow airmen. Your actions were unbecoming of a member of the air force. It seems we have a character witness here to speak on your behalf. (Chuck and his mother enters) MAN: At ease, young man. CHUCK: I know that you guys want to kick chase out of the air force because you think he did something wrong. But he didn't. I did. 'Cause I didn't tell the truth. My dad hits me. He hits me even when I haven't done anything wrong. Chase found out, and he stopped him. I know I shouldn't have lied about it. But I did. And I'm sorry. So it's my fault. Chase was protecting me. Isn't that what you taught him to do? He's really nice to me and helps me with all kinds of stuff. All he ever wanted to do was fly. Please don't take that away from him. CEMETERY Mouth is coming with his computer in the Jimmy's grave. MOUTH: Hey, Jimmy. I know what you're thinking. "I haven't heard from my pal mouth in ages, and what's this... Two visits in one day?" Well, I've been working on a sports blog, and... I thought maybe you could help me with it. SOUND STAGE Dan and Haley literally try to 'bat' information of Nathan's whereabouts out of the creepy drug dealer. BILLY: What the hell is this? HALEY: This is me finding out where my husband is. BILLY: I have no idea what you're talking about. And if I did, I'd say that he had his teeth pulled out and his fingers cut off by now. HALEY: I want to know where... DAN: Haley! He can't tell us anything if you bat him to death. BILLY: Whoo-whee. That's a crazy bitch. HALEY: What did you do to him?! BILLY: Get her off of me! HALEY: No! BILLY: Get this bitch off of me! DAN: Okay. BILLY: Your husband's dad, you stupid whore. DAN: Shut up! You need to go now. HALEY: I'm not going anywhere until I find out where Nathan is. DAN: I'm gonna need to do some things you shouldn't see. HALEY: I can handle it. DAN: Haley... he's going to talk, and we're going to find Nathan. Trust me. But I can't have you here when I do this. So go home. I'll call you. Be sure to give Deb back her clothes. HALEY: Bring Nathan home. I don't care what it takes. Bring him home. (Haley leaves) DAN: Well, well, well. Alone at last. STREET Brooke goes to her car but Xavier surprises her. XAVIER: Alone at last. BROOKE: Look... XAVIER: Shh! You've already done enough talking today with that pretty little mouth of yours. How 'bout you just listen? I know I hurt you in the past, but that's the past. I served my time for what I did, and now I'm just trying to get on with my life. But you keep pushing me. You need to stop. 'Cause you should know...that I can get to you whenever I want. So don't give me a reason to. Dropped these. Have a nice night. LOGAN'S BEDROOM Clay fixed Logan's plane. They talks together. CLAY: Hmm. Told you we'd fix it. LOGAN: I know. I can't wait to crash it again. CLAY: Hey, about what you said earlier... Do you really not care what happened to your mom and dad? LOGAN: I don't know. CLAY: Do you ever think about your dad? LOGAN: I guess sometimes I think about what he might be like. CLAY: And what do you think? LOGAN: Promise you won't laugh? CLAY: Promise. LOGAN: Well, I like to think that he's a superhero, like in "X-Men," out fighting bad guys. Or he's a secret agent, and he's got a flying car and a jet pack and stuff. CLAY: Would you settle for a regular agent... The non-secret kind? LOGAN: I guess. I just hope that maybe one day he'll come home. Then maybe neither of us will be sad anymore. CLAY: Logan, you know my problem. You know, I wander around like I'm someone else. Well... Dr. "A" was able to help me figure out why I was doing it. LOGAN: And how come? CLAY: Well, a few years ago, something bad happened. I lost someone that I loved very, very much... My wife. When it happened, my brain just made me forget things that reminded me of her so I'd be less sad. But... now my brain wants me to remember. The person that I lost, Logan, was your mom. I'm your father. You're... you're my son. I-I know I don't have a flying car or anything, but... I'd really like to be a part of your life. And I'd really like it if you'd be a part of mine. Would you like that? Logan? LOGAN: No. COUNCIL Chase gets out. Chris waits him. CHASE: I'm out. CHRIS: What?! That is such a load of crap! You know, Chris Keller thinks that those jackasses weakened our nation today! CHASE: Could have been a lot worse. I was only given a general discharge, not a dishonorable one. So I got that going for me. Now I just have to hope they don't send me to prison for the next three years. (Chuck and his mother joins them) CHUCK: They're not going to. Right, mom? CHUCK'S MOTHER: No. They're not. Wade's been arrested. I reported him to the police and told them that you acted in defense of Chuck. CHUCK: Is the air force still gonna let you fly planes? CHASE: No, Chuck. At least not for them. CHUCK So what I said didn't mean anything. CHASE: Hey... What you said meant everything. MOUTH'S APARTMENT Mouth wakes Skills up. MOUTH: You, wake up. SKILLS: Baby, please, I am not from havana. MOUTH: Skills. SKILLS: What up? MOUTH: You want to go to the gym? SKILLS: For sure, my chubby buddy. MOUTH: What the hell do you dream about? SKILLS: What? BRULIAN'S HOUSE/HALEY'S CAR Brooke and Haley are at phone together. HALEY(at phone): He did what? BROOKE(at phone): Xavier scared the hell out of me and then told me I need to leave him alone. HALEY(at phone): Did he tell you or thrat you? BROOKE(at phone): Both. I don't know. It felt pretty thrat and creepy. HALEY(at phone): Brooke, you need to call the police. BROOKE(at phone): They're not gonna do anything except for maybe set him off. HALEY(at phone): Well, what does Julian think? BROOKE(at phone): I didn't tell him. HALEY(at phone): Brooke! BROOKE(at phone): Haley, if I tell Julian, he's gonna go after Xavier and then either mrder him or get mrder by him, and either way, my boys grow up without a father. HALEY(at phone): What are you gonna do? BROOKE(at phone): I don't know. Let's talk about something else. Did everything go okay with you? HALEY(at phone): Um, yeah. Considering the circumstances... Everything went great. Um... It's just kind of up to Dan now, I guess. BROOKE(at phone): What happened to our world? BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke goes to see her babies. BROOKE: What are you doing awake? Huh? Hey. Hey. It's okay. Oh, it's okay. Mommy's here. And she always will be. SOUND STAGE Dan thrat Billy. BILLY: You're dad. You know that? dad! DAN: There's something you should know about me.

Now, I'm gonna ask you a few questions, and you feel free to scream out the answers. See... That's the good news about having your own sound stage. No one can hear you scream.

SOUND STAGE Dan shows to Julian the body. JULIAN: Whoa! No, no. Is that... DAN: Our friend the drug dealer. At least it used to be. JULIAN: No. No, no, no. I didn't see that. I-I don't see that. DAN: You mean him? JULIAN: There's no "him." DAN: Sure there is... Well, what's left of him. He's right there. JULIAN: You can't... Okay, he's not... You can't kll people in a sound stage... My sound stage! DAN: You rented it to me. JULIAN: You said it wasn't illegal! I'm not a part of this. DAN: Julian. JULIAN: There's a dad guy in my sound stage! DAN: Julian, he's not dad. He's just...Well, I guess he could be dad by now. JULIAN: I can't go to prison, okay? You said it yourself. They'll like me there. DAN: You're not going to prison. JULIAN: I have a family, man! DAN: Nobody is going to prison. Will you just calm down?! Besides, we're the only two people that know about this. Chris joins them. CHRIS: Is that guy dad? DAN: Okay, three people know. Four, counting Haley. JULIAN: We're going to jail. LOCAL Dmitri says Nathan he is on front one. DMITRI: Rise and shine! Hey, look. Front page. Not your best photo, true, but still, front page is good, no? Before I get large cash, I have to show in good faith that you are still alive and somewhat well. Okay. Open your eyes, chin up. Say "the cheese." Would you like 8x10 or wallet size? No? Nathan Scott. The rest is silence. NATHAN: No. Please. Not the hood. DMITRI: Because you say "please." Etiquette counts, my friend. Look at this marmaduke. He... he crazy dog. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley tries ti distress in making sports. KAREN'S CAFE Brooke enters and sees the cafe is a mess. SOUND STAGE Julian panics. JULIAN: Is he dad yet? CHRIS: I don't think so. Check his pulse or something. DAN: He's not dad. CHRIS: He's right. He's not dad... yet. Boy, I'd sure hate to own this place. JULIAN: Why? What's that supposed to mean? CHRIS: Well, kidnapping, aggravated asault. JULIAN: Dude... DAN: Relax. You shut up. What are you doing here, anyway? CHRIS: Well, I came to help, but Chris Keller's too pretty to go to prison. JULIAN: Yeah, that's what i said. CHRIS: You said Chris Keller was pretty? DAN: Nobody's going to prison. How'd you know to find us here? CHRIS: Haley... I followed her last night. By the way, she was looking super fine. DAN: Why? CHRIS: I don't know. She had on this little miniskirt and these boots. DAN: Why did you follow her? CHRIS: Oh. I was worried about her and about Nate. So I saw you guys drag the dad body in here. JULIAN: He's not dad. Don't say "dad." CHRIS: I followed her home, and I watched her cry in her car. I assume this guy knows where Nate is. Did he tell you? DAN: He told me. CHRIS: And you're gonna bring him home? DAN: That's right. CHRIS: Then I want to help. DAN: Good. CHRIS: Damn! Chris Keller was kind of hoping you'd say no, like when you offer to pick up a check. I was just being courteous. JULIAN: You guys understand what we're doing here, right, with the dad body in the trunk and the wapon in the bag? You realize this is real, yes? DAN: Yes. JULIAN: Well, I think we should go to the cops. DAN: No. JULIAN: Why not? DAN: 'Cause I don't trust them. JULIAN: Why? DAN: I went there last night... The warehouse underneath the interstate. I studied the guards, their shift patterns, entrances, exits. A patrol car came and left. JULIAN: You think the cops are involved? DAN: I don't know. All I know is, Nathan's in there and he's alive. CHRIS: Are you sure... That he's alive, I mean? DAN: First, why would they guard the place if he wasn't? Second, he's my son. He's alive. Look, you're right. This is real. It's not gonna be pretty. These guys are professionals. There's a half dozen or so. They're holding Nathan... My son, your friend, Haley's husband. I'm going back there tonight, and I'm not leaving without him. I need some help. JULIAN: I'll help you. CHRIS: It's Nathan. DAN: What about you, peacock? CHRIS: C-Chris Keller needs a little more time! DAN: We don't have time. CHRIS: Okay, fine, I'll help, but Chris Keller wants to go on record as saying Chris Keller doesn't like this. (Dan gives them a gn) DAN: You guys ever sht? Ever handled a wapon, fre a gn, a rfle, anything? Dan Scott doesn't like this, either. CLAY'S CAR Clay and Quinn are on the road to go somewhere. Clay memories FLASHBACK, CLAY'S CAR Clay tells to Quinn about Sara's death. CLAY: I was talking about pens. The last thing I said to Sara before she died. She went to grab a drink, and I was babbling about the pen I was using. And then she was gone. Sometimes I think that we waste our words and we waste our moments and we don't take the time to say the things that are in our hearts when we have the chance. CLAY'S CAR CLAY: You saved me. I wouldn't have made it without you. QUINN: Well, thank you, baby, but where'd that come from? CLAY: I was just thinking it, and I wanted to say it. You're always with me, Quinn. QUINN: Good. That's right where I want to be. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley watches the latest Nathan's video. NATHAN(at the video): It doesn't matter how far I go, Jamie Scott... You're always with me. Even when I'm in some ghetto in wherever I'm at. But, uh... You be good, okay? Be good to your mom and Lydia. Help out around the house. I'll be home soon. You're a good man, son. I love you. LOCAL Nathan is thinking. NATHAN(Voice over): There was a moment when I was lost... When they had beaten me and I decided to beg them to let me live...To see my beautiful wife, my son, and my daughter...To breathe another breath and lie in the sun and just... Live. But begging them wouldn't change things. It would only give them satisfaction, and that i wouldn't do. No. This would be the job they carried with them for the rest of their lives. This would be the one they felt guilty about, their older, fading selves woke up regretting in the middle of the night, trying to quiet their remorse before their own deaths were upon them. So I made a decision... To give them nothing. And in that moment, one word came to mind. NATHAN: Fortitude. KAREN'S CAFE Brooke starts to clean up the mess. Tara enters in. TARA: Whoa-ho-ho. What happened? Oh, my God, you crazy bitch! BROOKE: Turn around and walk the hell out of here before I bat your scrawny ass with my bare damn hands. TARA: What the hell are you mad at me for? BROOKE: Don't play even dumber with me. TARA: Oh, what, you think i did this? Okay, fine. Call the cops. My employees tell me you're the slut that cried wolf these days anyway, Brooke. So make the call... really, I cannot wait to hear your proof. BROOKE: I know what I know, and either you did this or that psychotic employee you hired did. Either way, you are to blame, so get the hell out! TARA: You are crazy. BROOKE: Hey. If you didn't do this, now yow know what you're dealing with. And if you did, I always knew what I was dealing with. TARA: Whatever. WOODS Julian and Chris trains to sht with a gn. CHRIS: Geez! Oh! I'm getting closer! I should get bonus points for that, right? DAN: Sure. Maybe one of the bad guys should just lie down because you almost sht him. CHRIS: Yeah, Chris Keller was thinking he'd be more of a lookout, like kind of hang back and offer moral support from afar. DAN: What about you, Julian? You just want to hang back and offer moral support, too? JULIAN: No. CHRIS: Geez! DAN: You sure you thought this thing through, Keller? CHRIS: What's that supposed to mean? DAN: You say you want to help Haley. You have a thing for her. You have since high school. CHRIS: So? DAN: So from where I stand, this is a lose/lose for you. If you don't bring Nathan back, you failed her. If you do, you lose her anyway. Once Nathan comes home, you're out of the picture. CHRIS: So are you. Yeah. Haley told me all about it. Once Nathan comes back, you lose your family. So, from where I'm standing, it's worse for you, because I lose what I never had, but you had it... Your son, your grand kids, all of it. But here we are. DAN: What about you, Baker? What's your role in all this? JULIAN: Nathan's my friend. DAN: Not really. I'd say he's more of an acquaintance. Nobody's gonna lay down their life for an acquaintance. This still about you leaving your kids in the car? JULIAN: No. I need to believe that there's still justice, that even now in a world full of gray and spin and compromise, if you choose to do wrong and you prey on good people when you do, someone will stand up to you. Someone will take a stand and fight back. Nathan's a good man. He deserves a good life. CHRIS: Oh! Geez! Yeah, I want one of those. DAN: Keep practicing. JULIAN: And then what? DAN: We wait until dark. Then we fight back. CLAY'S CAR Quinn and Clay are still on the road. QUINN: What are you thinking about? CLAY: Nathan. You? QUINN: Haley and Jamie. CLAY: And Lydia. He's alive. That's what I was thinking. He's alive, and he'll be coming home soon. I'm sure of it. Anything else is just... It's too impossible to think about. QUINN: Yeah. CLAY: He's coming home. OUTSIDE LOCAL Dan, Chris and Julian are in a car waiting the right moment. DAN: Okay. That moron goes inside to eat around this time every night, then another guard takes his place. That gives you about 30 seconds to cut the lock on the gate and get back to the car. JULIAN: I got this. CHRIS: Okay, that's good. If you got this, then I don't have to. What, you guys don't watch movies? The hero always dies in the movies. DAN: 30 seconds... go. Julian gets out to break the lock and comes back. DAN: Lock the doors. CHRIS: What? DAN: Lock the doors! JULIAN: Let me in. DAN: Don't let him in. JULIAN: Guys, come on, the door's locked. Keller, open the door! DAN: Julian, you have a family. Go home. (Dan and Chris drive away. Julian is hiding) KAREN'S CAFE Brooke cleans up the mess. She sees a cross marked in the bar. KAREN'S CAFE/OUTSIDE LOCAL Brooke calls Julian. JULIAN(at phone): Baby, I can't talk right now. BROOKE(at phone): I am not gonna let him intimidate me. JULIAN(at phone): Who? BROOKE(at phone): Xavier. I'm not afraid of him. JULIAN(at phone): Why? What's going on? BROOKE(at phone): Why are you whispering? Where are you? JULIAN(at phone): I'm... In a movie. Where are you? BROOKE(at phone): I-I'm at the cafe. JULIAN(at phone): Is everything okay? BROOKE(at phone): Yeah, everything's fine. Go back to your movie. JULIAN(at phone): Are you sure everything's fine? BROOKE(at phone): Yeah. Xavier wants to mess with me, he's gonna have a hell of a fight on his hands. JULIAN(at phone): Absolutely not, Brooke. If something's going on, you need to call the police or lock up and go home or both. BROOKE(at phone): I know. JULIAN(at phone): Promise me. Baby, promise me you'll do that. BROOKE(at phone): I'm just so tired of it. You know, injustice. JULIAN(at phone): Trust me, I know, okay? I do. But I love you, and I need you safe. And our boys need you safe. Okay? BROOKE(at phone): Yeah. JULIAN(at phone): Okay, go home. I'll see you there. BROOKE(at phone): Okay. I love you. JULIAN(at phone): I love you, too. CAR Chris and Dan prepares before the wr. CHRIS: We're just... We're just gonna leave him?! DAN: He'll be fine. Yeah, but how come he gets to go and i have to stay? Maybe we should switch jobs. He should go with you. I should run and hide. DAN: He's got a family. CHRIS: I might have a family. Dude, Chris Keller has all kinds of crazy sex. Maybe I should just get out just in case. DAN: You can't. CHRIS: Why not? DAN: You called gn. KAREN'S CAFE Brooke memories. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley memories when Nathan supports her. NATHAN: Haley, it's okay. Just... I'll call them. You go upstairs and relax. Let me clean this up. HALEY: You know, I'm okay. I don't need any help. I just want to be alone. NATHAN: It's gonna be okay. Haley... HALEY: I want to be alone. KAREN'S CAFE The lights cut off. CAR Dan gives the last explanation before the fight. DAN: I want you to listen to me, and I want you to do exactly what I tell you to do. In a minute, you're gonna hear a gn. When you do, I want you to create a diversion on this side of the building. CHRIS: Okay, diversion. I got it. What kind of diversion? DAN: Anything that draws their attention. CHRIS: Okay, but... If I get their attention, they're gonna chase me with gn and really sour looks on their faces. Chris Keller doesn't like that. DAN: Well, maybe you can sing them one of your songs and drive them away like you did most of your fan base. CHRIS: Whoa! Okay, I know we're all keyed up here and there's a lot of tension, but there's no need to get personal. DAN: A diversion. CHRIS: A diversion... fine. I'm just saying, it stings a little. That's all. DAN: If you can, leave the klling to me. I'm already on the list. CHRIS: Chris Keller doesn't like this. DAN: Let's go. KAREN'S CAFE Brooke goes back on the cafe to see electric wire. Xavier spies her. OUTSIDE WAREHOUSE CHRIS: Oh, that is so not okay. DAN: All right, it's gonna take some time to get to the other side of the warehouse. Once you hear a gn, you have one job. CHRIS: Okay, create a distraction. DAN: And take out that guy. CHRIS: Wait, that's two jobs. DAN: It's the same job. CHRIS: Yeah, but that guy... Oh, take out the little guy? Yeah, Chris Keller can do that. DAN: I know you're scared, but the fact you're here tells me there's a hero inside you somewhere. CHRIS: Don't say "hero," man! Those guys die. DAN: You'll be fine. Help me with the trunk. KAREN'S CAFE Brooke locks the cafe and leaves. Xavier follows her. CEMETERY Quinn and Clay arrive. CLAY: You know, it's a little late. Maybe we should come back. The neighbors might be asleep, you know? QUINN: I think you're good. CLAY: Yeah, you're probably right. You sure you don't want to join me? QUINN: No, that's okay. You two have a lot to talk about. But if you need me, I'm right here. CLAY: Okay. QUINN: I'm right here with the doors locked, but I'm... I'm right here. CLAY: Honk if you need me. QUINN: Okay. OUTSIDE WAREHOUSE Chris watch guys. CHRIS: Wait, no, no, no, no, no, no... Not the big guy! What happened to the little Marty, the midget-sized guy? Come on! They send dragon out?! Chris Keller does not like this! UNDERGROUND CAR PARK Brooke walks to the elevator. She goes inside. BROOKE: Come on. Come on, come on. (The stairs up, Xavier is here) BROOKE: I'm not afraid of you. XAVIER: You should be. BROOKE: Help! XAVIER: Do that again, and I'll slit your throat before you finish. BROOKE: What do you want from me? XAVIER: What do I want? I want my freedom back. BROOKE: You have that. XAVIER: No! BROOKE: Okay, okay, okay. XAVIER: I want every day I spent in prison back. BROOKE: Xavier, please... XAVIER: Don't say my name! Don't say my name with that slutty whore's mouth. I've got other plans for that mouth. Until then, you just shut up and listen, 'cause I've got a few things I want to say to you. BROOKE: Okay. XAVIER: Yeah, you act all high and mighty, but you close your eyes at night and you pray for a real man. Well... Your prayers are answered, baby. (Brooke succeeds to run away) XAVIER: You're gonna pay for that! WAREHOUSE Dan comes in and shts a guy. MAN: What's going on with Kim Kardashian's ass? DAN: Hey! Chris panics. CHRIS: Okay, create a distraction. UNDERGROUND CAR PARK Brooke is hiding under a car. WAREHOUSE Chris drive into the guy of the distraction. MAN: Aah! CHRIS: Chris Keller's work here is done! Dmitri is upset. DMITRI: The bell invites me, for it is a knell that summons thee to heaven or to hell! Dan sht on every guy on his way. DMITRI: Okay, okay. (Dmitri goes back and shts on Nathan but actually it's Wade. Dan has Nathan) DAN: It's okay, son. I got you. CEMETERY Clay talks to the ex-wife. CLAY: Hi, angel. Well...I know we haven't talked in a while. But...I was kind of busy getting sht by your evil twin. And then I started roaming the countryside. And I kind of got committed. I found him, Sara. Our son. I'm ashamed of myself... For ever losing him in the first place. Dr. Alvarez says that...I just blocked him from my memory after you died because it was just too painful. But that doesn't make it okay... For me or for him. I'm sorry. I won't let you down with him, Sara. And I won't let him down, either. I promise. Quinn says hi. She's been more than anyone could expect throughout all of this. So... Of course... You were right about her. I don't know how it works up there, but Nate's been missing for a while. So... Maybe you could help us out and fix it. You know, because... I'm okay. I have good days and bad days, you know, but... Right now, Haley's the one who needs your help. So bring Nathan home. Make it a great day. Make it the greatest day. I miss you. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley watches a old Nathan's speech. NATHAN(on TV): You know, my, uh, my father said that today would be the greatest day of my life. And you're right, dad. It is. But not because of basketball. You see, today...I learned that my wife, Haley, is pregnant. And, um... And while it's a great honor to be recruited to play at Duke, 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'll make with my wife's and, uh... And my family's best interests at heart. And when I do that, I'll let you know. Now, my wife couldn't be here tonight, so I just wanted to say one thing. Haley... No matter what happens, we'll face it together. But I promise you, I've never been more happy. And everything's gonna be okay. I love you. WAREHOUSE Dan watches if they can run away. DAN: How you doing, son? NATHAN: I'm okay. DAN: You think you can walk out of here? NATHAN: Yeah, I can do it. DAN: And if we have to run? NATHAN: I don't know. DAN: Well, you were in that chair a long time, but I'm gonna get us out of here even if I have to carry you out. I carried that douche bag drug dealer in here. I'm gonna carry you out. Hold on. NATHAN: Hey. Hey. There's a door through there. It's all wide-open space, but if we can make it across to that door, we're home free. DAN: Then that's what we're gonna do. Let me take a look. NATHAN: Okay. UNDERGROUND CAR PARK Xavier finds her. XAVIER: Boo! Help! Somebody help me! (Brooke runs away but Xavier catches up and they fall on the stairs) WAREHOUSE DAN: It's empty. It's empty, son. NATHAN: They don't know that. DAN: You ready? NATHAN: Yeah. DAN: Nathan. You're my son. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. I promise. Let's go. NATHAN: Dad. It's good to see you. UNDERGROUND CAR PARK BROOKE: Why? Why?! XAVIER: "Why?" There is no why. There's only what I want. No reason. No justice. No... Divine intervention. There's only you, me, and that wild, so-betrayed look in your eyes. That look... that's why. That same look... That friend of yours had right before I klled him...in the gas station. It's that moment that you know and accept... That this is it. This is really happening. And no one's gonna save you. Tara comes in and teases Xavier. TARA: Oh, my God. That guy is creepy. Are you okay? BROOKE: No one's gonna save you! WAREHOUSE Dan and Nathan are ready to go home. They don't any noise. But Nathan do, he is weak. DAN: Son. NATHAN: Dad... DAN: Come on, I got you. Wait here. Dmitri comes in and sht on Nathan. DMITRI: And curtain! (Dan stands between the ball and Nathan) DAN: No! I'm sorry, son. NATHAN: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Dad... whoa, whoa. DMITRI: No, no, no. So messy. You know, is probably lesson to be learned here about greed. Your father, dad. My friends, dad. Your people, my people. One difference... You will join them. I will not. The death I gave him. Thus bad begins... And worse remains behind. Nathan takes the gn and shts him. DMITRI: Like the father, the son. The detective shows up and with a gn. DETECTIVE: Bravo! Bravo. You have the right to drop that. What the hell, dude? This was supposed to be easy. You grab some dork, k*ll him, get paid, maybe seduce his wife at some point. I mean, come on! Do I have to do everything myself? (Julian comes in too and hits him) JULIAN: Hey. NATHAN: Dad? CLAY'S CAR Clay and Quinn go home. CLAY: "Dad." I can hear him now... Logan. His first word was "dad." I want to hear that again. QUINN: You will. CLAY: Thanks for helping me. You always do. QUINN: And I always will. GRACE'S STREET Tara gives Brooke a cafe. BROOKE: Thank you for helping me. TARA: Yeah, no big deal. I always wanted to tase someone anyway, so... I should've listened to you. Sorry. BROOKE: Your coffee's horrible. TARA: Well, it's better than that vomit you serve. I gotta sell the cafe. It makes me such a bitch. BROOKE: Yeah. WAREHOUSE NATHAN: Come on, dad, please don't die. Come on, dad, stay with me. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley waits a call. HALEY: Please.

I always meant to. I... I just couldn't. SAM: Nah, we know, Clay. CLAY: Is Logan okay? Can I see him? SAM: It might be best if he doesn't see you for a while, son. I know that that may seem unfair, like we're being overly protective, but he's... He's been through so much. CLAY: Um...Could you please tell him that I came by? GRANDMA: Of course. CLAY: Thank you for taking care of him. HOSPITAL Brooke comes in. BROOKE: Oh, my God. JULIAN: It's not mine. Dan was sht. BROOKE: What? JULIAN: How did you know I was here?

I need you safe. Come here. BROOKE: Thank you. HOSPITAL Haley is always close to Nathan. NATHAN: You don't have to stay here with me the whole time. HALEY: Are you kidding me? I'm never gonna let you go. If I could sew my skin to yours, I would. NATHAN: That's really gross. (A surgeon comes in) NATHAN: Hey. How is he? SURGEON: Your father's out of surgery. We did everything we could, but due to the amount of blood loss and his bad heart... It wasn't enough. All we can do now is keep him comfortable. NATHAN: So my dad's gonna die? (Jamie joins her father) JAMIE: Dad! NATHAN: Hey. Buddy. It's good to see you. (Deb with Lydia come in too) DEB: I'm so happy everybody's safe. Mm. NATHAN: Yeah. Me too. Jamie plays to the PSP and Haley joins him. HALEY: Hey, kiddo. I'm glad you're back. Did you have a good time with uncle Lucas and aunt Peyton? JAMIE: Yeah. It was good seeing them, but... But they kept giving me the look you're giving me right now. HALEY: What look? JAMIE: The look you gave me when you told me about Quentin, the look dad gave me when he told me about grandma Lydia, and the look everyone gives me when something's wrong but they don't want to talk about it. HALEY: Wow. Okay. Well, you're... Uh, g-give me the game. Your daddy... Your father... Was taken by some bad men. And your grandpa Dan got him back. JAMIE: Grandpa Dan saved dad? HALEY: Yes. But he got... He got really hurt doing it. He got hurt really badly. JAMIE: He'll be okay. It's grandpa Dan. Dan wakes up. Nathan is here. DAN: Wow. Who died? NATHAN: This is all my fault. You got sht because of me. DAN: Nathan... I made the decision to go in there fring. And I'm the one who took those men's lives. And I'd do it again. NATHAN: You didn't take all their lives. I took one. DAN: I'm sorry I didn't get you out of there before you had to do that. You were defending yourself, son. We both know that. NATHAN: Look, uh...Some people want to see you. DAN: Is it the cops? NATHAN: It's friends and family. DAN: I didn't know I had either. Jamie is closed to Dan. JAMIE: Grandpa Dan? DAN: Hey, buddy. Sorry, I'm a little out of it today. JAMIE: My mom says you saved my dad. DAN: No. I just helped him find his way home. JAMIE: She also said you got pretty badly hurt. But she forgets you're grandpa Dan. I'm sorry I yelled at you the last time I saw you. DAN: You have nothing to apologize for. When your father's gone, you're the man of the house. That comes with some tough decisions. I'm proud of the way you handled yourself. JAMIE: So, are you gonna stay with us when you get out of here? DAN: I don't think I'm gonna make it this time, Jamie. JAMIE: You thought that last time with your bad heart. You were fine. I think you'll be fine this time, too. Clay is at the hospital. He sees Nathan and tells about news. NATHAN: You have a son? CLAY: Logan. NATHAN: How long have I been gone? CLAY: Six years, apparently. NATHAN: How is it that out of the two of us, I don't have the most shocking news? CLAY: Man, none of that should have happened to you. It's my fault. I should have been the one to go to Europe. NATHAN: No. No, you shouldn't have. Dan wouldn't have come to save you.He can't stand you. CLAY: Dude, you were kidnapped. NATHAN: Dude, you're a father. I was kidnapped. CLAY: I'm a father. Quinn is to the hospital too. She sees Haley. HALEY: Hey! Ohh! QUINN: God, it's so good to see you smile again. HALEY: It's so good to see Nathan. I couldn't have made it through any of this without you, Quinn... Thank you so much. QUINN: We're family, Haley. Of course. HALEY: Yeah. Well, speaking of family, what? Tell me about Logan. What's he like? QUINN: He's 6 years old, and he is adorable. And, you know, he's a little freaked out about Clay being his father, but... HALEY: He'll come around. He's obviously a tough kid. It'll take time. It's got to be really hard growing up without a father, you know? Clay hears the end of the conversation. Haley is embarrassed. HALEY: Hey. CLAY: Hey. HALEY: Hey. Congratulations, dad. CLAY: Thanks. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Ted is still with her daughter. TED; Oh, look at that. BROOKE: I know you're probably wondering how the line is coming. Ah, here we go. I've been a bit busy, what with the cafe and the psychopath and my friend's missing husband, but I have managed to sketch a few rough samples. TED: I have no doubt they are top-notch, but I came to town because I was concerned about you. So for now, no business. That sound okay? BROOKE: Sounds perfect. TED: Good. HOSPITAL Nathan sees Lydia walking. NATHAN: Haley. Haley, wake up. Look at Lydia... she's walking. Come here. Mommy. You can do it. Oh. Mommy. Mommy. Good girl. Good girl. Mommy. (Haley is crying) NATHAN: Yeah! Hey. Hey, hey, hey. What's wrong? HALEY: I've just been trying to hold it all together for so long. It's just she started... She started walking when you were gone, and I just started thinking, what if you never came home? And what would I do? I don't know how I would live without you, how I would go on. I can't wake up every morning without you next to me, and I can't imagine it. NATHAN: Okay, okay. Hey, hey. You know what I kept imagining the whole time I was kidnapped? Opening up the door to our home and seeing you. It's what kept me going... The thought of us together. It's all we ever need to think about. SOUND STAGE Julian read again the Lucas's book and has an idea. HOSPITAL Jamie plays a game with Nathan. Clay sees them through the window. NATHAN: All right. Whatcha gonna do about that, huh? JAMIE: Big mistake. NATHAN: What?! Oh-ho-ho! Are you serious? When did you get so good at this game? You been playing with mom? BRULIAN'S HOUSE Ted lunches with Brooke and Julian. TED: Everything looks so good...Except that. That looks a little too much like what came out of Jude today. BROOKE: He does that all the time, you know? He's probably doing it right now. (Julian is back) TED: Hey, hey. Brooke and I had a fantastic day. How about you, Julian? JULIAN: I think I finally found a project for my sound stage. I've been reading "an unkindness of ravens" again. I really love that story. BROOKE: Well, of course you do. It's the book that made you fall in love with me. JULIAN: The scope of the story just seems so much bigger than a movie. Maybe it could be a TV show. TED: I always liked that book. BROOKE: You read that book? TED: Of course I did. It was about my little girl. It got some things wrong. New York wasn't your first fashion show. You had that in our living room when you were 8. She dressed up all her dolls, then when those ran out, she started putting clothes on every piece of furniture in the house. BROOKE: I... cannot believe you remember that. I stretched mom's favorite dress over a lamp. She got so mad. TED: Only because it looked better than her. (Cellphone rings) TED: Excuse me. JULIAN: It seems like you two are having fun. BROOKE: So much fun. I couldn't have asked for a better day. Haley has Nathan back, my husband is inspired, and... It feels like I finally have the father I always wanted. It's literally been... Too good to be true. GRAND PARENTS' LOGAN HOUSE Clay convinces Sam again. CLAY: I know you told me to stay away, but I've already been away for too long.Look, I-I don't just remember Logan, Sam. I remember wanting him. I remember bringing him home from the hospital and how happy we were to have a son. And now that I remember, it's impossible to imagine how I ever forgot. But I did because of how much I love Sara. But I'm here now because of how much I love Logan. Look... I once proved to you that I was worthy enough to marry your daughter, and I'm gonna prove to you that I can be a good father to Logan.I know that he's all you have left of Sara. But he's all that I have left of her, too. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian, Brooke and Ted lunch. TED: I've got an idea. How about tomorrow night, I cook dinner for you two? We'll throw some steaks on the grill. JULIAN: Sounds good. BROOKE: Thanks, daddy. I have to ask, did you really come to town just to spend time with me? There's no other reason? TED: Okay, you caught me. Yeah. I have some great news.We have an offer to sell Baker man. BROOKE: Sell it? It... doesn't even exist yet. TED: That's why it's such great news. A large chain is willing to pay a fortune just for your name and idea. Of course, the final decision is up to you. So, what do you think? BROOKE: I think I need to go check on the boys. Excuse me. HOSPITAL Nathan and Jamie still play. NATHAN: Do you have any queens? JAMIE: Nope. Go fish. NATHAN: So I guess it must've been pretty tough for you when I was gone, huh? JAMIE: Yeah. Being the man of the house isn't easy. NATHAN: No, sometimes it isn't. JAMIE: You know what's cool?We've both been kidnapped, and grandpa Dan saved both of us. NATHAN: Yeah. I guess that is pretty cool. JAMIE: Now that you two are getting along, can we all go camping when he gets out? NATHAN: Grandpa Dan isn't getting out of the hospital this time, Jamie. JAMIE: He'll be all right. He's grandpa Dan. You always say Scott men are tough. NATHAN: They are. He's the toughest guy I know. But he's dying, Jamie. Right now, he needs you to be tough for him. JAMIE: Did you tell Lydia yet? NATHAN: No, I didn't. JAMIE: I'll tell her. She'll take it better coming from me. NATHAN: Told you Scott men were tough. FLASHBACK Dan memories. DAN You can't kll Dan Scott! You could get yourself klled out here. HOSPITAL Haley comes to see Dan with Lydia. DAN: Hey. HALEY: Hi. DAN: Hi, Lydia. HALEY: I talked with Lucas. He's not coming. I'm sorry. DAN: Well, I wasn't there for his life. Can't expect him to be here while I'm dying. Besides...I robbed him of the only father he ever knew. Haley, I never apologized to you. Keith was a big part of your life. And I took him from you, too. Haley...I'm so sorry. HALEY: I can't thank you enough for bringing Nathan home. DAN: I couldn't have done it without you. You know, I used to think no one was ever good enough for my son. But I am so happy to be proven wrong. He's the best thing that ever happened to me, and you're the best thing that ever happened to him. HALEY: Would you like to hold Lydia? DAN: I would. HALEY: Yeah. Want to go say hi? Say hi. DAN: It's too bad she'll never get to know me. Then again, maybe that's a good thing. JAMIE: I know I'm supposed to be tough. I don't want you to go. DAN: It's okay, buddy. I'm not feeling that tough right now, either. HALEY: When Lydia asks about her grandpa Dan. We will tell her how much he loved his grandchildren. GRAND PARENTS' LOGAN HOUSE Clay give a present to Logan. CLAY: Hey. I brought you something. LOGAN: Cool... an airplane! CLAY: No, not just any airplane. That's the x-jet. That's what Wolverine and his friends use. I don't blame you for being mad at me. I'm mad at me, too. I'm mad that I left, and I'm mad that it took me so long to come back. LOGAN: Then why didn't you? CLAY: Well, when your mom went away, I got sick. But Dr. Alvarez helped me get better, and now I'm here to make it up to you. LOGAN: Did you love my mommy? CLAY: More than anything in the world. Okay, I'm gonna go, but...I'd like to come back and see you more often. I hope that'll be okay. LOGAN: What if you wander away again? CLAY: Well, I wasn't wandering away. I was looking for something. And I found what I was looking for...You. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke is in the boys' bedroom. Julian joins her. JULIAN: You okay? BROOKE: Yeah. Why wouldn't I be? I took an idea and a few sketches to my dad, and he's already turned it into potentially a huge profit. He's a great businessman. JULIAN: Maybe, but he's a horrible father. You didn't bring Baker man to him because he's a good businessman. You brought it to him because he's your dad and you wanted a relationship with him. BROOKE: You get it, so why doesn't he? JULIAN: Well, my dad didn't, either, until I gave him a push in the right direction. Maybe that's what your dad needs. So try telling him exactly how you feel. FLASHBACK Dan memories HOSPITAL Deb is near to Dan. DAN: Am I in hell? DEB: Not yet. But it's good to see you still have your sense of humor. DAN: How many times have you dreamed about standing over my deathbed? DEB: Mm, well, actually, I kind of thought you'd outlive us all and end up dancing on my grave. DAN: That was the plan. DEB: You did a good thing, Dan. Our son is alive because of you. DAN: Nothing on this earth could stop me from bringing him home. Besides... I've done enough awful things in this life. I think I was due. DEB: Is there anything you need? DAN: Yeah. I need you to stop blaming yourself for Keith's death. I know you carry the guilt around with you, but it's not your fault. I took his life. Just me. You had no part in it. Deb. So... How about one more... for old time's sake? Of course, you'll have to do all the work. DEB: Oh, as usual. Nathan is in a other room and Haley comes in. Nathan is upset. NATHAN: I spent so much time hating him. HALEY: He didn't give you much reason to love him. NATHAN: How can you be so strong? I mean, I've never lost anyone the way that you have... Your mom, your dad. How did you do it? HALEY: With you and Jamie... And our friends. I'm here for you. And they are, too. NATHAN: Yeah, but that's just it. I never thought I needed it. I was never close with my parents the way that you were with yours, you know? And now that Dan is dying, I just... All I can think about is how much time I've wasted just hating him. HALEY: You had a good reason. You were trying to protect your family. NATHAN: Why do I feel so bad? HALEY: Because you are a good man. You're one of the best I know, Nathan Scott. NATHAN: I don't feel like a good man. HALEY: One of the good things about my mom finding out that she only had a little time left... Was that we got to say goodbye to each other. It really helped to have that closure. Maybe that's what you need. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke and Julian gets out the bedroom and are in the living room. She wants to talks with her dad. TED: You two deciding what to do with all your new money? BROOKE: I don't want to sell the company. TED: May I ask why? BROOKE: Because I already had to sell clothes over bros, and I want to have something of my own again. TED: You said yourself that the line doesn't even exist yet. That's why it makes such good sense to sell it. BROOKE: That's not the point, daddy. The point of this was for us to do something together. TED: And we did that. But it's a business. And the smart business move is to sell. BROOKE: I'm sorry, daddy, but my answer is no. TED: Don't be foolish. I've already put together the paperwork for you. BROOKE: I thought that you said the final decision in this was up to me. TED: It is. I just expected that you'd make the right one. BROOKE: You knew I wouldn't want to sell. And that's the whole reason that you flew down here. It wasn't to check on me or spend time with your little girl. You came here to put on a show. TED: What show? BROOKE: Playing with my boys and this whole father/daughter "let's not talk business" day, dinner, stories about me when I was a kid. I can't believe it. I'm just another client to you, another deal you had to close. TED: Brooke, don't be ridiculous. You're over-reacting. BROOKE: No. Julian thought that you could use a push in the right direction. How's this? Get out! TED: Brooke... BROOKE: Go! I want you out of here. I cannot believe I am such a sucker. You want Baker man? Fine, take it. I do not want any part of it! TED: Y-you're acting like a child. BROOKE: How would you know? You weren't around when I was a child. Get out! Congratulations, daddy. You closed the deal. Guess what... I can close things, too. GRAND PARENTS' LOGAN HOUSE Quinn waits in the car and sees Clay gets out with Logan. She meets them. CLAY: Logan, this is Quinn. QUINN: Hi, Logan. LOGAN: Hi. CLAY: Quinn, this is Logan, my son. QUINN: It's nice to meet you. BRULIAN'S HOUSE Brooke is sad. JULIAN: I like the cargo pockets on the shorts. Kids should have to carry their own diapers. BROOKE: He tricked me. I fell for his charm, like I always do, and... He left me like he always does. JULIAN: He just doesn't know you. If he would spend one real second with you, he would know that you're the most caring, most loving, most amazing person in the world. BROOKE: If you make the "ravens" TV show, can you make him get ht by a bus or something? JULIAN: I'll probably just leave him out. A character who doesn't love Brooke Davis...I wouldn't even know how to write that. Hey. BROOKE: Why doesn't my dad want me? HOSPITAL Nathan talks to his father. NATHAN: Dad. RIVERCOURT Dan imagines the scene in the Rivercourt. NATHAN: Dad? Why does this have to be so difficult? You're my father, so I should love you, but... I've spent so much of my life hating you. DAN: I was a terrible father. I know that. NATHAN: You know, I can justify a lot of the screwed-up things that you've done. You bullied me because you wanted to make me tough. You tried to ruin my marriage because you wanted me to have a career. You even brned down your diner just because you wanted to see me again. But I can't understand how you could mrder your own brother. And I'm worried. I'm worried that when you're gone, that's all I'll remember. And I'll still hate you for it. DAN: You should hate me for it. So why did you do it? I was always jealous of Keith, even when we were kids. I was athletic, popular, all the things that he wasn't. But still, I was jealous of him. People were drawn to Keith, and I hated him for it. NATHAN: So you sht him because people liked him more? DAN: The day I sht Keith, I was in a dark place. I was convinced that he tried to kll me. I'd lost you, divorced your mom. My life was spiraling downwards, and meanwhile, Keith was building a new life with my high-school sweetheart and the child that I abandoned. Every time I looked at him, I felt like I was punched in the gut. NATHAN: So what happened in that hallway? DAN: Keith wanted to go into the school to save that kid. So I let him go... Hoping he'd get sht. Let him be the hero... As long as he was a dad hero. And then I thought... "Why should he be the hero when it could be me?" So I followed him in. Jimmy was crying. And Keith was telling him, "it gets better. That pain in your heart, that voice in your head that tells you there's no way out... It's wrong. It gets better." And I felt like he was talking to me. And in that moment, maybe... The most heroic... Kindest moment of my big brother's life... I hated him. I hated him more than anyone or anything, because nothing had gotten better. That pain was still in my heart. That voice in my headsaying that there's no way out was right! And he was standing there, lying to me. And after Jimmy died, I picked up the gn, and I aimed it at Keith. And he looked at me. And all I could think of was how everything that had gone wrong in my life was his fault... And it wasn't gonna get better until he was gone. Just pull the trigger, and it all ends. So I pulled that trigger. And it didn't end. It got worse. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. NATHAN: There are a lot of people that you need to say "I'm sorry" too. But I'm not one of them. I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for you... My career, my family... My life. No matter what you've done, you're still my father. You're my father, and I love you. DAN: Oh, Nathan...I love you, too. You know...We never got a chance to play a game together on the rivercourt. How about it? NATHAN: What do you want to play to? DAN: Let's not keep score. For once, let's just play to play. (Monitor beeping) NATHAN: Dad? HOSPITAL Nathan understands Dan is dad. NATHAN: Dad. Dad? Dad, hey. Hey! (Beeping continues) NATHAN: Dad, come on. Nathan runs to warn someone. Dan is in the other side. He sees her brother. DAN: Keith. KEITH: Hi, Danny. TREE HILL HIGH SCHOOL HALLWAY Keith and Dan are in the hallway. DAN: What are we doing back here, Keith? KEITH: I don't think either one of us ever really left, Danny. DAN: Keith... If I could take it back... KEITH: Well, you can't. I think we both know that. DAN: I'm so sorry... For that day and every day before it. KEITH: I know you are, Danny. And I forgive you. DAN: I took you away from everyone and everything you ever cared about... How can you just forgive me? KEITH: Well, you're dad, Dan. If I can't forgive you now, when can I? Look, Danny, you've done some horrific things. You can't change that, and you can't take it back. Since then, you've done everything you could to make up for it. You've become a better man. DAN: I lied about my heart transplant. My book and show were a fraud. I set my own diner on f*re. KEITH: Well, I didn't say you were perfect. But nobody is. But you learned what's important. You learned to put friends and family first. And you've become the selfless, kind person that I always wanted for a brother. DAN: Like the kind of brother you were. For so many years, I was so jealous of you. I should've been trying to be more like you. I should've been proud of you. I am proud of you. I love you, Keith. KEITH: I love you, too, Danny. Come on. They see all his family gather into him in hospital's bed. KEITH: I told you the voice was wrong. It gets better. Come on, little brother. Take a walk with me. Dan and Keith go on the white light. DAN: I know where you're going. But what about me? KEITH: Don't worry, little brother. You're my "plus one." End of the episode. IN MEMORY ON JOANNE LEONE JOHANSSON 1936-2011	{"type": "series", "show": "One Tree Hill", "episode": "09x11 - Danny Boy"}	foreverdreaming
BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian trains for his speech in front of the network people. JULIAN: I think the story needs to breathe... the small moments, the evolving relationships. I think it works even better if "an unkindness of ravens" is serialized. You know, make it a TV show instead of a movie. BROOKE: Isn't that a lot like "the creek"? JULIAN: Ah, to some degree, sure, but it'll have its own voice, find its own audience. Besides, all you people do is remake everything now, anyway. Okay, maybe I won't say that last part. BROOKE: Good. What about vampires? We were hoping for more of them in the pilot. We like vampires. And werewolves. We like werewolves. JULIAN: There's not gonna be any vampires or werewolves in this show. I might consider zombies. BROOKE: Hmm, and Nathan's meeting in act 4, where does that take place? JULIAN: They're not gonna ask me that. BROOKE: But if they do, where does it happen? JULIAN: A conference room. BROOKE: Hmm. You might want to go with something a little sexier. Like a hot tub. JULIAN: Wow. This has been a really great meeting. BROOKE: Mm-hmm. Can you tell me more about the stunning, some might say brilliant, character of Brooke Davis? MEETING Julian tells his speech. JULIAN: She's pivotal. Brooke's heart is so vulnerable, and that's why she's so central. That's why the audience will root for her. They'll identify with her... her mistakes, her victory, her heartache. MAN: That's our feeling, as well. WOMAN: And Nathan's meeting in act 4... where does that take place? JULIAN: Uh, a conference room. Or I was thinking it might be cool if it was in a hot tub. MAN: Nice. BURNING BOAT FESTIVAL Brooke comes with her mum to put some stuff in the boat. BROOKE: I feel like such an idiot! I actually believed he wanted things to be different. VICTORIA: Look, your father's very reliable in his unreliability. BROOKE: I think we need to start putting air quotes around "father" from now on. What he did is unforgivable. VICTORIA: He's misguided, but maybe you should hear him out. I mean, if nothing else, it's always amusing listening to him, you know, try to explain himself when he's twisting in the wind. BROOKE: Mother, you are the one who warned me not to trust him in the first place. VICTORIA: Yeah. BROOKE: And, besides, that's what the burning boat festival is all about... getting rid of bad choices and bad luck and bad karma. Since I can't throw Ted in the boat, the golf clubs he bought for me are gonna have to do. Will you help me with these? VICTORIA: I've always hated golf. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley trains for the speech for tonight. HALEY: Welcome, everyone, to the 93rd annual burning boat festival. I want to thank the organizers for asking me to host this year. It's a great honor to follow in the footsteps of red legner, principal Turner, and coach Whitey Durham. And now I would like to say a few words before the boat... Before the boat... The boat... All right, well, it's just a rough draft. Yeah. You miss daddy and Jamie? I know. Me too. Well, they're having some guy time right now, so it's just us girls for right now, okay? Here. Give me five. Yeah! RIVERCOURT Mouth is running and guys plays basketball. ANTWON: Wicked! Look at this! Mouth McFadden stepping on the court, ladies and gentlemen. He's a shadow of his former self, which in this case is a damn good thing. MOUTH: Ah, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. And welcome to the new and improved Marvin McFadden. He's been running, he's been training... push-ups, sit-ups, more push-ups. He's slim. He's trim. He's... Completely exhausted. SKILLS: But you look good, though. FERGIE: Hard work pays off. JUNK: Guess I'm the fattest guy in Tree Hill. SKILLS: Those are abs! Whoo! MOUTH: Ah! CLINN'S HOUSE Clay prepares Logan's new bedroom. QUINN: Wow. CLAY: Hey. What do you think? QUINN: I think someone's nervous about Logan's first sleepover. CLAY: I just want everything to be perfect. QUINN: He's gonna love this. I mean, how could he not? CLAY: Check it out... so, I've got a chest over there for his toys and his sports equipment. And this is his comic-reading corner. Complete with reading light and a stack of new comics. QUINN: You did a great job, honey. CLAY: You don't think I forgot anything? QUINN: Hmm... Maybe one thing. My sisters always teased me because I put up my pictures in the hotel room when we'd go on family trips. But I never really felt at home without pictures of people around me that I loved. CLAY: Are you sure? QUINN: Of course. CLAY: I love you. You know that? QUINN: I was kind of hoping. LOCAL/BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian calls Brooke. JULIAN(at phone): Baby, they bought it. And even more than that, they understand what it can be... a show that's not afraid to be quiet or heartfelt. You know, a show that's romantic and sexy and makes you feel like you're not alone. And let me tell you something else. They loved the hot tub. Ooh-hoo. WOMAN: Congratulations. JULIAN: Thanks. BROOKE(at phone): You did it. Your daddy did it. I am so proud of you. JULIAN(at phone): Well, thanks, but maybe you should be proud of me once they agree to make the TV script I haven't finished writing yet. BROOKE(at phone): They will. And you will. Now, when are you coming home? JULIAN(at phone): I leave tonight. BROOKE(at phone): I was hoping we could celebrate. Maybe in the bath tub? JULIAN(at phone): I'll get an earlier flight. And, Brooke, thank you. BROOKE(at phone): For what? JULIAN(at phone): For all of it. For... Inspiring me, for being patient with me. For believing in me. I love you. BROOKE(at phone): It's easy to believe in you, Julian Baker. Now come home. I'm proud of you, and I love you. We all do. Say, "good job, daddy." BRULIAN'S HOUSE Julian is back. He tries to write the pilot. JULIAN: No. BROOKE: What's wrong? JULIAN: I've got a draft. It's okay. I just don't know if it's working. BROOKE: How come? JULIAN: I just feel like something's missing. I wish I could have been there so I could really understand, you know? Good talk, Russ. BROOKE: Okay. This will help you. It's my diary... volume 4, ages 15 to 18. I used to tell everyone I didn't keep a diary, but it's just 'cause I didn't want anyone to find it. JULIAN: Whoa. BROOKE: No. Just so you know, I have never been more vulnerable. So you're not allowed to tease me or stop loving me, depending on what you read in there. JULIAN: Okay. Thank you. BROOKE: Here you go. JULIAN:What's that? BROOKE: Just a boring entry about me and Peyton... JULIAN: Don't do that. BROOKE: ...going fishing. JULIAN: Let me see. BROOKE: No. It's irrelevant. JULIAN: Give that back. BROOKE: No, it's... it's boring. JULIAN: Spit it out! BROOKE: No! JULIAN: Spit it out! CLUB TRIC Chase works, Haley takes a while. CHASE: Hey, Haley. HALEY: Hi. CHASE: How's Nathan? HALEY: Oh, thanks for asking. He's good. Well, he's better. Let's just say there's gonna be some bad stuff to throw on the burning boat this year. CHASE: Oh, yeah, I was thinking about throwing in my discharge letter from the air force. That way my dreams of being a fighter pilot can go up in real and metaphoric smoke at the same time. I'm sorry, that sounded bad. It's not a cry for help. HALEY: No, I'm really sorry that everything worked out the way it did. At least it was because you were doing the right thing, though. I'm really proud of you standing up for Chuck. And you can still be a commercial pilot, right? CHASE: Sure, when I figure out how to pay for the rest of my classes. Which I'm not gonna be able to do as long as I'm a bartender. HALEY: I thought you were a bar manager. CHASE: Ah, let's be honest, Haley. I'm a bartender who locks up at night. HALEY: Well, I know things are tough, but if it makes you feel any better, this place really wouldn't be the same without you. CHASE: Yeah. Who else could have invented the brain blasr? Totally not a cry for help. Sorry. RIVERCOURT Mouth work on his laptop and Millicent joins him. MILLICENT: Hi. MOUTH: Hi. MILLICENT: Working on your blog? I was. MOUTH: Now I'm checking out my beautiful girlfriend. MILLICENT: Aw. Marvin... Have you been happy on the show lately? MOUTH: Of course. I get to work with my girl. MILLICENT: Very good answer. But, honestly, your blog, the rivercourt, all these memories coming up about Jimmy... don't you think it means you miss sports? MOUTH: I do miss it. And I miss Jimmy. But I would never drop the ball on our show. MILLICENT: Sports analogy. MOUTH: Even if I wanted to, how would I do it without ruining "mouth and Millie in the morning"? MILLICENT: Because we'd find a replacement anchor for you. MOUTH: "We"? MILLICENT: I already talked to Jerry about you hosting a sports show. MOUTH: You talked to Jerry about fring me? MILLICENT: Don't be a dork! It's what you love to do. If you don't want to, then we'll work together every day, and I'll love it, but if you do, as much as I'll miss spending my days with you, I'll love spending my nights with you. MOUTH: I love you, Millicent Huxtable. MILLICENT: Are those abs? MOUTH: Oh, that's right. That's a, uh... a two-pack right there. MILLICENT: Wow.

BROOKE(Voice-over): My parents don't see me, and when they do see me, it's only because they're angry about something. My dad golfs, and my mom shops, and I can't remember the last time we laughed together... Or just sat quietly together. I'd like to just sit with them, be a family, hear them say they love me. I see my friends, and they seem to have real families. FLASHBACK, BROOKE'S HOUSE Victoria and Ted argue, Brooke writes into her diary. VICTORIA: You're never home with your daughter or your wife! TED: How can you say that?! How can you say I'm never here?! VICTORIA: Cause you never are! What kind of husband are you?! TED: Well, what do you think I'm trying to do?! I'm trying to make a living for you! I'm trying to make a living for her! VICTORIA: Please! TED: Well, have you ever thought about how you treat me as a man? Huh? VICTORIA: Oh! Have you ever thought about how you treat me as a woman?! Yeah, if you acted like more of a woman... if you were a man... TED: You are so frigid, how can I actually act like a man? BROOKE(voice-over): And maybe everything isn't as nice as I imagine, but... VICTORIA: Frankly, because you make me sick! TED: Oh, I make you sick! Why would I make you sick?! VICTORIA: Because you are sickening! Stay out there! Stay out! BROOKE(voice-over): I feel like they have more love around them than I do. And that's more disappointing than I have words for. There's this thing called the burning boat festival coming up. We do it every year, and this year I can tell my mom wants to throw in my dad and my dad wants to throw in my mom. And me? I'd be happy to Chuck the whole thing in. HOTEL ROOM Brooke comes to see her mother. BROOKE: Mom? VICTORIA: Oh! Brooke! Uh, uh... I wasn't expecting you. BROOKE: I'm sorry.

How do you unsee something?! JULIAN: What happened? BROOKE: I just walked in on my parents... Having sex. JULIAN: What? I thought your parents hated each other. BROOKE: They do! Oh, my God. It was foreplay for hate sex. Oh, gross! This is a nightmare! You can't poke your mind's eye out. JULIAN: Do they even realize they've ruined another company of yours? BROOKE: Of course not. Let's recap. My dad screws me over, my mom screws me up, at which point, they start screwing each other, and now I give up. JULIAN: I don't. BROOKE: Well, where are you going? JULIAN: Your mom asked me why I gave Ted a free pass. That's feeling like a pretty great question right about now. BROOKE: Make sure you knock. Ugh! CLUB TRIC Chase deletes some pictures of his ex.

And since Jamie ain't want them and the goodwill won't take them, I figure, hey, burning boat. HALEY: Yeah, but it's not a landfill. I mean, it's supposed to be for people with real problems. SKILLS: I got real problems. Nobody will take these. HALEY: Yeah, but it's not about bad music. It's about bad choices. SKILLS: Oh, don't tell me about bad choices, cause I got a Lindsay Lohan album going on in here. HALEY: All right, well, if not for any other reason than to just save the ozone the plastic fumes, I'll take them to my place... Again. SKILLS: Oh, now we're talking. HALEY: Wow.

I came here to tell you that how you've treated Brooke is unacceptable. TED: I see. JULIAN: As her husband and the father of her kids, I'm not gonna let anyone... not even her father... put her in a corner. And just because I referenced "dirty dancing" doesn't mean I'm not serious right now. TED: Are you sure you don't want some coffee? JULIAN: No coffee. I don't want coffee. What I want is for you to wake up and fix things with your daughter. She gave you your 3,000th chance to be a decent dad, and you blew it again. TED: Anything else? JULIAN: Yeah. One thing. What kind of guy tells his 15-year-old daughter who's about to go to a dance that her dress makes her look thick? If you want to know the answer, it rhymes with "thick." It's dick, Ted. You're a dick. You should be ashamed of yourself. CLUB TRIC Chase talks with twins. CHASE: Some write novels. Some play in the NBA.

VICTORIA: But you don't know all the facts yet. BROOKE: Oh, I do know the facts. If you remember, you had the housekeeper explain them to me when I was 11. VICTORIA: Well, Esmeralda always had a very gentle way about her. TED: Brooke, you might not like what we did, but we're your parents, and I think you should give us a chance to explain. VICTORIA: Your father came to me right when you kicked him out of the house. And for once, he was genuinely remorseful. In fact, I could almost see a glimpse of the selfless and caring man I once knew. And it turned me on. Anyway, after we... BROOKE: Oh, my God. It's worse than hate sex. It was pity sex. VICTORIA: After we talked, we both decided that Ted should not sell the company. BROOKE: What? VICTORIA: Baker man. It's a good idea, and it's yours. So we bought out the investors. BROOKE: One more time. What? TED: I want to run the company with you and your mother... the three of us. But either way, it's your company. BROOKE: Wh...why? TED: 'Cause that's what our daughter wished for. If you want to discuss it further, your mother and I will be at the burning boat festival. VICTORIA: We have a date. TED: And Julian...I-I'm really happy that my daughter has you in her life. JULIAN: Thank you. BROOKE: Oh. Ew. What just happened? JULIAN: I think you just got your company back. BROOKE: Yeah. Who were those people? JULIAN: Those were your parents. It's good to meet them. BROOKE: Oh! Stop! RIVERCOURT Haley is sitting on a table and writes her speech. Brooke joins her. BROOKE: I brought you a croissant from Karen's. HALEY: Oh, you're the best. Thank you. That's perfect timing. I'm starving. BROOKE: How's the speech coming? HALEY: Um, not bad. It helps being out here. You know, this is the exact bench that I sat on with Lucas our junior year, watching the burning boat. BROOKE: Really? HALEY: Yeah. God, things were so different then. I was so different. I remember lying to Lucas that night about tutoring Nathan. BROOKE: I always thought you were an underrated troublemaker. HALEY: Uh, anything I learned, I learned from the master, by the way. BROOKE: Thank you. Just passing down my wisdom. How's Nate? HALEY: He is so good. He went camping with Jamie. BROOKE: You're amazing. He was gone so long. I don't think I could let him out of my sight. HALEY: I know, but he wasn't just gone from me. He was gone from Jamie. Especially after Dan's funeral, I just think he... I think Jamie needed him more than I do right now. BROOKE: Yeah. I am jealous of that little boy for having such incredible parents. HALEY: I take it things aren't going very well with your mom and dad. BROOKE: Actually, they're going strangely well. HALEY: Yeah? BROOKE: I want to give them another chance. But every time I do, they make me feel like a fool. HALEY: Well, you're not a fool. You're... listen, my mom used to say love means giving chances when there's no more chances left to give. BROOKE: Hmm. HALEY: I know that wears better as the title of a country-Western song than it does a piece of life wisdom, but I think she was right. BROOKE: Thanks. TV SET Show is starting. MAN: Two minutes! KYLIE: I think I might be freaking out a bit. I am. I'm definitely freaking out a bit. MILLICENT: You're gonna be fine, Kylie. KYLIE: Do you reckon there's time to go to the Loo?

My life would have been so much better. And I really like the way you're writing Brooke. JULIAN: Well, I guess I haven't told you this, but I kind of like that character. BROOKE: Do you think the audience will? She's kind of a hot mess. JULIAN: Considering how she always gets up no matter how many times she's knocked down, it's a pretty safe bet. BROOKE: Thanks. JULIAN: Do you think Julian making the winning sht was too much? BROOKE: No, I loved it. JULIAN: I want to tell the story... your story. I want to do it justice. BROOKE: You will. When does the network decide? JULIAN: Any time now. BROOKE: Well, the boys are asleep for another 45 minutes. So why don't I help distract you? CLUB TRIC Haley makes Chase a surprise.

I thought you were down on the bar. What changed? CHASE: I gave it some thought, and it's not so bad. Tric's always been there for me, you know? No matter what. Heck, I even had one of the best thanksgivings of my life here. Just me and this place and a Turkey-and-stuffing cocktail. HALEY: Gross. CHASE: I always come back here. It's my home. Plus, at the end of the day, this place... It's pretty cool. HALEY: Yeah. You're right. This place is cool. CHASE: Now, I can't take credit for it. I was visited by angels.

Nathan leaves. Chris sees a beautiful girl in the dressing room. CHRIS: Well, well, Chris Keller usually waits until after his show...but I'll give you the early bird special. FRANKIE: Francesca Parks. CHRIS: What? You're Frank Parks from the label? FRANKIE: Frankie Parks. Too bad for you we're not looking to sign balladeers who sing about breakfast foods.

We go to say good night and you're missing. Your mom starts freaking out. You realize we're the Scott family, right? JAMIE: I sent you a text. I just needed to practice. NATHAN: Okay, weird son of mine. What are you doing practicing your sht on the Rivercourt in the middle of the night? JAMIE: I saw your jersey on the wall at the high school. NATHAN: So? JAMIE: So people expect me to be good. NATHAN: Come here, buddy. When you were younger, it was easy to tell you...that you can be whatever you wanna be. Of course that's true. But you're old enough to understand that people are gonna expect you...to be great at sports. JAMIE: Because you and Grandpa Dan were? NATHAN: That's right. Now look, the important thing to remember...is that you don't have any responsibility to any of those people. Not to them, not to me. You have to find what makes you happy. Be a good man while you chase whatever that is...but whatever it is, is up to you. JAMIE: I like playing sports. NATHAN: Thank God. That's my boy. No, but seriously, play sports for you, not for anybody else, okay? JAMIE: Right. NATHAN: All right. Let's get home. I'll have to figure out how to talk your mom into not grounding you. JAMIE: Oh, maybe we could say I was kidnapped again. NATHAN: Ah, It's a little played out. COURT Clay, Quinn and Logan come to adopt the kid. CLAY: Hi. BEVIN: Good afternoon. Can I help you?

CLAY: Okay, we got an hour to kll, buddy, what do you wanna do? LOGAN: What are my choices? QUINN: You could help me plan the wedding. LOGAN: Okay. CLAY: Oh, no. What is happening to him? Oh, brother, he's fuguing. He probably has no idea who you are or anything about weddings. QUINN: Weak. CLAY: What's that, huh? Oh, fugue Logan wants to sneak into court and watch crackheads get sentenced. LOGAN: Cool. CLAY: He's back. Thank God. We should go. Nice dodge on the wedding stuff, dude. Seriously. Clay and Logan start to leave. Quinn calls her sister. QUINN(at phone): Hey, Haley. It's me. Um, I just wanted to talk to you about the dresses... and some ideas that I had for the wedding, and then, um... Oh, I wanna see if we can make, like, mini banana cream pies for every table...so, um... Oh, let me get you the name of the bakery. Hold on. LOGAN: Mom. You coming? QUINN(voice-over): It doesn't matter how you plan it. It doesn't matter how you envision it. QUINN(at phone): I'll call you back.

RIVERCOURT Mouth, Millicent and Skills talks to Dan's donation. SKILLS: Five hundred thousand dollars? Now that's a spicy meatball. MILLICENT: Huh? MOUTH: It was Jimmy's catch phrase. Mine was "whammo kablammo." MILLICENT: Oh, my boy was such a dork. MOUTH: He left a note too. It said, "What you do matters." SKILLS: Yeah. What you do with half a million dollars does matter. I thought he gave his money to charity when he did that show in the school. MILLICENT: He did. But Nathan said he told his lawyers to give some of it away after he died. MOUTH: I remember seeing Dan not long after I got fired...for refusing to report the rumors about Nathan and the pregnancy allegations. I said it didn't matter that I took a stand on the air. He said it did. SKILLS: That's a hell of a thank you. MOUTH: There's more to it than that. I just don't know what it is yet. MILLICENT: Maybe it has something to do with the hallway. Two people died there that day and you knew both of them. MOUTH: So did Skills. And Nathan. Why me? SKILLS: Because you did the right thing. PEYTON'S OFFICE Chase looks at the twins.

I think they'll be okay. Little place called Baker Man. HALEY: No way. Oh, my God. Congratulations. BROOKE: Oh, thank you. It'll be our own little corner of the world, you and me. And my suddenly gross parents. HALEY: Remember what you were doing 10 years ago when TRIC opened? BROOKE: Yes. I was raising money for the needy. HALEY: You were raising money for yourself. Your parents had lost their income and you wanted a new dress. You ended up selling your own blood. BROOKE: Not my proudest moment. HALEY: Look at you now. Two businesses on the corner of Front and Grace...and your parents, though they may be gross...are finally acting like your parents. I'm proud of you, Brooke Davis. BROOKE: Thank you. I like that our street is called Grace. I've never known anybody with as much of it as you. HALEY: It'll be a nice corner. BROOKE: It'll be our corner. TRIC Chris comes back the dressing room.

HALEY: You cannot help yourself, can you? CHRIS: Feels so good. I'm gonna hate myself in the morning, though. Chris Keller feels like Chris Keller's dates sometimes. HALEY: You come down here to run the label, you hire the Sisters Grimm...you do not good work. CHRIS: Come on. HALEY: What bands did you hire? None. I'm the one that had to find our next new artist. I gotta let you go, Chris. CHRIS: Why? HALEY: Because you're the next artist I found. Your music's great. Your live show is great. What are you running from? CHRIS: Well, professional Kllers until this week. I don't know. I didn't like the version of me then. The first time. HALEY: You're not that guy anymore. CHRIS: Yeah.

SOUND STAGE, OLD BROOKE'S HOUSE Brooke and Julian are sitting in front of. BROOKE: Mm, I always loved that house. It deserved better. It deserved a family. Why do people waste so much time fighting? And where does it get us? JULIAN(Voice-over): It's funny how our past frames us. How the person we used to be never lets loose of the person we are. Past failures and disappointments...even victories take hold of us. They haunt us like ghosts or visit us like old friends. TV SET New show starts. MILLICENT: This week, we launch a new program...that will explore the world of sports from a human-interest point of view. SKILLS: For a preview of that program, here's the host, our boy, Marvin McFadden. MOUTH: The name Jimmy Edwards will always mean something to this town. He's remembered as the confused boy who took a g*n to school... and then took his own life. The name Keith Scott was also enshrined that day...as a would-be hero who tried to intervene. This is how time remembers them. It's not how I remember them. I knew them as friends, as did Antwon. And I knew them as sports fans. Both believed that at their best, sports and athletes can be transcendent. They can remind us that an underdog can still find glory...and that there might still be magic left in David's sling. So today, I'm proud to announce...the Edwards-Scott Memorial Scholarship Program. A scholarship program for college-bound students...who plan to pursue any sports-related majors. Coaches, trainers, coordinators and, yes, broadcasters. It's not my intention that one day this scholarship fund will erase the past...but it is my intention that one day it might eclipse it...and remind a new generation of sports fans that what you do matters...and how you do it matters. I'm Marvin McFadden. Whammo kablammo. SKILLS: That's a spicy meatball. MILLICENT: We'll be back after this. TRIC Gavin DeGraw performs singing “Belief”. NALEY'S HOUSE Haley and Nathan are sitting in lovers in the couch. NATHAN: We should go for a walk. Want to? HALEY: It's pouring outside. NATHAN: Exactly. Let's go.

BROOKE: My old house? JULIAN: No, our new home. BROOKE: What? JULIAN: Come on. BROOKE: What? JULIAN: You said this house deserved better. That it deserved a family. Well, now it's got one. The best one. BROOKE: I wished for this. Right here, without even knowing it. I wished for you and our family and this. Come here. Ever since New York, I wanted to come home. I just knew in my heart that there was treasure here...and I found it. In our sons. In my parents. In you. This house always wanted to be home and now it will be. Our home. Everyone should have that. A place that makes them happy. JULIAN: You should have that. Welcome home, Brooke Davis. (They kiss) BROOKE: Thank you. I wanna go see my room. JULIAN: Okay. CLINN'S HOUSE Quinn and Clay make Logan on the bed. QUINN: Sure you don't need your tent anymore? LOGAN: Yep. I'm not afraid anymore. CLAY: Good man. All right. You sleep tight, buddy.

HALEY: It's a secret. Inside this box are predictions and hopes...that I started making when I was about your age. And Uncle Lucas did too, and even your dad has some in here. JAMIE: Really? Did they come true? HALEY: They did. Against all odds and in the face of all kinds of obstacles...almost every wish in here came true. This is your secret now. Your magic. So think about your wishes... use them wisely, and only make predictions...about things you're absolutely certain will make you happy. And most importantly, don't tell a soul. Except your mom. JAMIE: Okay. I'm gonna break Dad's scoring title. HALEY(Voice-over): Human beings are ambitious. We spend so much time wanting, pursuing, wishing. For the most part, that's okay. Ambition is good. Chasing things with integrity is good. Dreaming. As long as the chase doesn't diminish what we already have. The goodness we take for granted, the people we take for granted. The lives we take for granted. HALEY: Come here. HALEY(Voice-over): My life is good. HALEY: It's a magical place, son. I've seen that magic in your eyes for the last nine years. There's only one Tree Hill, Jamie Scott, and it's your home. SOUND STAGE, TREE HILL HIGH SCHOOL HALLWAY Brooke sees the Peyton's stickers in a lock. JULIAN: You somewhere down memory lane? BROOKE: Yeah. JULIAN: Good. Stay there and tell me what I should remember about this place. What made it so special? BROOKE: Oh, I don't know. What makes any high school special? This is where it all happened for the first time. The heartache and the happiness. All of it. Being in this hallway...feels like it was yesterday. I wake up sometimes and I miss it. But this is good. It's all still right here. JULIAN: Let's get a juice box. TRIC Gavin DeGraw performs singing "I don't wanna be". All are here singing too. KAREN'S CAFE All gather in the cafe, happy.

I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I've got to do. Or who I'm supposed to be I don't wanna be anything other than me I don't wanna be I don't wanna be anything Anything other than me.“ GRACE STREET, FEW YEARS LATER Nathan and Haley are ready to go away. NATHAN: Hales, let's go. We don't wanna be late. HALEY: I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm sorry. I'm nervous. Why am I nervous? NATHAN: You're always nervous. HALEY: Oh, thank you. Julian and Brooke lock the Bakerman shop. JULIAN: Caw. NATHAN: Ha-ha-ha. Nobody says "caw," Julian. JULIAN: We do. We say "caw" every week on the show. NATHAN: Oh, all right, all right. Caw. BROOKE: Ha-ha-ha. NATHAN: We'll see you there. BROOKE: Okay. TREE HILL GYNMANIUM All are here for the match of Jamie. It's a Ravens now. We see Millicent is pregnant and married to Marvin. Skills dates with Bevin. NATHAN(Voice-over): It's the oldest story in the world. One day you're 17 and planning for someday. And then, quietly, and without you ever really noticing...someday is today. Then someday is yesterday. And this is your life. HALEY(Voice-over): We spend so much time wanting, pursuing, wishing. But ambition is good. Chasing things with integrity is good. Dreaming. BROOKE(Voice-over): If you had a friend you knew you'd never see again... what would you say? If you could do one last thing for someone you love...what would it be? Say it. Do it. Don't wait. Nothing lasts forever. MOUTH(Voice-over): Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want. Everything you want. MILLIE(Voice-over): Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. QUINN(Voice-over): You never know where the next miracle is gonna come from. CLAY(Voice-over): The next memory. The next smile. The next wish come true. CHASE(Voice-over): But if you believe that it's right around the corner... CHRIS(Voice-over): And you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it...to the certainty of it... SKILLS(Voice-over): You just might get the thing you're wishing for. JULIAN(Voice-over): The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. The team enters in the field. BROOKE(Voice-over): So make your wish. Do you have it? NATHAN(Voice-over): Good. Now believe in it. HALEY(Voice-over): With all your heart. Jamie comes in and wear the jersey #12.

We should try to clip the bleeder. Dr. K: Dr. Blake, we think we should sab him better first. Jane: If we wait, there's a good chance he won't wake up again.

Oh, and the doctors said when they delivered her she didn't breathe for like three minutes and then she did. Dylan: Sounds like a freak. Mikayla: Oh and Richard, Edward's son... like half a year ago? He just disappeared. But nobody knows what happened. Dylan: What's this? (Door rattles open) (Door shuts) Mikayla: (Nervous exhale) Mikayla: Hi? Sorry? We can't be in here.

Dylan: Would you stop treating her like crap. Jane: I'm treating her like every resident that comes into this hospital. She is trying to do something great with her life. Dylan: You know if dad could see this, he'd be disgusted. When he comes back... Jane: He's not coming back, Dylan. You know what, this is not the time or the place. I have rounds.

Dylan: So why are you a volunteer? Wes: Well, I wanna be a doctor. Which means university, med school and money I don't have. And your solution to that is to volunteer? Open Heart Memorial looks great on a scholarship application. Plus my 96 average will only get me so far. Dylan: Your 96 average? That's impressive. Wes: Oh, you dig smart guys, huh? I meant, that's impressive you managed to work that little tidbit into our first conversation. Second conversation. Mikayla: So what did you do? To get the community service? Wes: Mikayla... Um, my... my friend was in trouble... So I drove her to the hospital in the car I stole from the house I broke into. Mikayla: Whoa. Dylan: Yeah. I know. You guys feel free to peace out any time you want. Wes: What, I mean, are you kidding? I mean, you saved your friend even though it brned you. That... that's amazing. Most people just focus on the criminal part. Mikayla: That's because most people suck. Wes: Yeah, screw those people. (Door lock clicks open) Mikayla: (Gasp) Somebody's coming.

London: When dad came into the hospital the day he went missing, he was with someone else. A woman was seen with him on the hospital security tape. It's pretty obvious he was having an affair. But who is she? Edward: The police couldn't identify her. And none of us have seen her before. Dylan: How could you all keep this from me? Jane: Because we knew it would upset you.

I meant, that's impressive you managed to work that little tidbit into our first conversation. Second conversation. Mikayla: So what did you do? To get the community service? Wes: Mikayla...

London: When dad came into the hospital the day he went missing, he was with someone else. A woman was seen with him on the hospital security tape. It's pretty obvious he was having an affair. But who is she? Edward: The police couldn't identify her. And none of us have seen her before. Dylan: How could you all keep this from me? Jane: Because we knew it would upset you.

Maybe we should have lunch together? Seth: Well, what about lunch with your mom? London: Oh, that'll add to my stress, not manage it. I'd rather spend time with you. What do you think? Uh... I'd-I'd be an idiot to say no. You would. So it's a date? (Seth chuckles) Fun! (Big band style music plays) Wes: 'Kay... clubs for my partner. Elderly lady patient: Uh-oh. Male patient: All right.

How did you see his back exactly? I was talking to him in the residents lounge and... He was changing his shirt. It was dirty! (Flustered sounds) This whole thing's dirty. (Frustrated sigh) Would you focus, Wes! Hud gave my dad's watch to my mom. Why is she hiding it from me? Um, she probably didn't think it meant anything. (Dylan's phone buzzes, chair scrapes back) Wes: Is that... okay, what's trump up here? Dylan: Hello? London: Hey. Did you see that text from mom about lunch? Dylan: Yes. Almost immediately, as you usually do with texts. Anyway, um... I can't make it. Dylan: No, no, no. You have to come, you're the buffer! London: Buff yourself. (Phone beeps off) Dylan: Great. Lunch alone with my mom. Wes: Well, sounds like a good opportunity to talk to her one-on-one. Dylan: One-on-one always turns into a fight. And I can't just straight up ask her for the watch. Gonna have to be nice. Elderly lady patient: Catch more flies with honey, honey. ♪ Kissin' all your troubles and your cares away ♪ London: Shouldn't be much longer for the lab results. About as long as it takes Toto eat lunch. Okay, bye. Sherri: Yeah, I've been googling my symptoms and I might be off with toxoplasmosis. Does my skin look blotchy? London: No more self-diagnosing off the Internet. The tests will tell us nothing's wrong. Sherri: Or something is wrong. Why are you in such a hurry? Listen. I have one hour a day to find balance in my life, so I'm begging you, please let me go. (Sighs heavily) Fine. London: Thank you. (Dishes and cutlery clatter, low hum of chatter) (Tray thumps, Jane sighs) Jane: It's too bad London couldn't join us. What is this? You know, I used to get these in my coat pockets all the time. Love notes. Dylan: Gross. Jane: Sorry. I didn't know he taught you how to make them. Don't you miss him? I didn't ask you here to talk about your father. I can't just forget about him. Jane: I am not asking you to. Um... you know what? Why don't we talk about something else? I won't forget he existed just to make you feel better. Obviously, this lunch was a mistake. (Chair scrapes back) Yeah. (Receding footsteps) London: The theoretical stuff, all that was a breeze for me. Why? Because once I see something, I remember it forever. Forever? Okay, um... What was I wearing two Mondays ago? A black t-shirt with a Silver guy on a surfboard. Silver surfer. But I wear that shirt a lot, so good guess. London: You also had a red and yellow plaid shirt overtop, and then your lab coat, of course. Seth: Of course. London: And the shoelace on your left high-top was untied. I kept thinking you were gonna trip, and then you did, but it was over the bankers box that was left on the floor. Not your shoelace. You are paying a lot of attention to me, Dr. Blake.

Hud: Look, I told the police everything all right? Haven't you ever lost someone? God, you're relentless. Doesn't it bother you how everyone just goes on with their daily lives like those people never existed? Look. Your dad was upset. Okay, he seemed... He seemed desperate.

Jared: Uh, what's happening here? Hud: (Annoyed sigh) Dylan: Nothing, Jared. Looks inappropriate if you ask me. Hud: Yeah? Well, nobody asked you. Look, you know everything I know now, okay? Dylan: Yeah. Jared: Okay, crocodile tears. Here's a little lesson about hospital hierarchy, all right? It goes nurses, doctors, residents, patients, and then way, way, way below... visitors, then volunteers. Just because you're a Blake, doesn't change that. Jane: Is there a problem here? Jared: No. No problem, Dr. Blake. Jane: Really? Then why are you lecturing my daughter to tears? Jared: I wasn't! She was crying about something to Dr. Hudson. Dylan: Shut. Up. Jared: I'm just saying what I saw. Jane: Doesn't sound like you saw anything, Mr. Malik, so why don't you go do your job? Dylan, my office. (Receding footsteps) The police have decided to end their investigation. But we still don't know what happened to dad. Get caught up with full episodes at open-heart.com. I need some help. Jane: You remember why you're volulunteering here, right? Because you're on probation. And that means I can't talk to people? No. Jared is your supervisor, okay? He makes the rules. You need to follow them. So, if he says, "don't talk to the residents," don't talk to them! Why were you crying? Hud was the last person to talk to dad. Jane: Dylan... Dylan: Hud said that dad gave him his watch. You know, the one I gave to him for Christmas a few years ago. Hud gave it to you. Jane: Yeah, he did. I guess um... I forgot. Dylan: Forgot? How could you forget?! Dad leaving this behind... it means something! (Drawer closes) Jane: I agree. It means goodbye.

London: They had to emergency section her baby, but both are doing fine. No thanks to idiot me, who sacrificed the health of a woman and her unborn child to hook up with a boy. London: You! Seth: We ate sandwiches. London: You know what I mean, okay? I'm a horrible doctor, and... human person. Seth: Hey, everything turned out fine. Even if you'd stayed with her, she still would've needed surgery. And last time I checked, you can't do those yet, right? London: (Sighs) Thanks. You're a sweet guy, Seth. (Sighs) And here comes the but... But I can't do the relationship thing right now, or even the casual datey thing. I need to focus on my work. But... can we stay friendly professionals? Can you please not hate me? I would never hate you. And I'm happy to stay friendly professionals. (Sighs) (Kissing) London: Oh!

(Face clicks shut) (Paper rustles) I love you... Well, that's a good message to get. I was hoping it'd be a clue to where he was staying or why? Well, I mean, he just wants you to know that he loves you. He's still gone. Well, I mean, I wish my parents had time to leave me a message like that. Dylan: Time? Wes: Yeah. I was five, so... I don't really remember much about the car accident. My Uncle's been taking care of me ever since. I mean... it's not like I... Walk around with 'orphan' plastered on my forehead...

Dylan: Okay, so we've ruled out bank account... Mikayla: Credit cards... Dylan: IP address, and longitude and latitude because Wes said... Mikayla: Maps are dumb. What else has fourteen digits? Dylan: Maybe we can't crack this. Mikayla: We can! We just need to clear our heads and think. Dylan: Maybe my dad just randomly scribbled them on the paper. Maybe they mean nothing. Maybe... Mikayla: You shouldn't be such a Sally-giver-upper! Come on, think! Ungh! Oh-oh-oh! Ooh! I saw this on "Scandal"! Write down a bunch of the numbers in different sequences and we can see if we can recognize anything. Dylan: That's gonna take forever. Wait. W-w-wait! These numbers here, aren't they... Mikayla: Open Heart's main line phone number! But what about the last four numbers? An extension? Your mom's? Dylan: No. (Dialing beeps) (Phone rings) Dylan: Thanks, Mikayla. Mikayla: For what? Dylan: Not letting me give up. Recorded voice: (Quiet) Welcome to open heart memorial. (Over speakerphone) If you know the extension of the party you wish to reach, please enter it now. (Dialing beeps) I'm sorry, that extension is no longer in service. Dylan: It's out of date. Would records keep an old list of phone numbers around? Mikayla: I know who to ask. And you're not going to like it. Jared has a part-time job digitizing old files. Yet another way he can lord power over everything. Jared hates my guts. He's not gonna help us with the phone extension. Mikayla: Let me do the talking. Mikayla: (Exhales sharply, preparing) Jared: Good morning. Mikayla: Hey, Jared, um... you wouldn't be able to look up an old phone extension in this little computer machine, would you? I can probably find what part of the hospital it used to belong to. Why? Mikayla: Do you really need to know why? Jared: No. What's the number? (Keyboard keys clack) All right, found it. (Printer whirs) I'm a bit worried I'm breaking the rules for nothing. Dylan: What do you want, Jared? Jared: A date with Mikayla. Dylan: Done. Mikayla: Wait! Jared: Sweet! Mikayla: Um... but... wait! Jared: Don't worry, I-I'll-I'll make all the plans. Mikayla: (Frantic exhale) (Unlocking click) (Heartbeat pulses) Dr. K: We've admitted a woman, Veronica Rykov, who's complaining of stomach pain. Says it's been about two days. Otherwise, she's healthy and fit. Hud: How fit are we talking? London: Why, are you jealous? You gonna challenge her to a dips contest? Dr. K: (Laughs) "Dips contest." Hud: Is that funny, Dr. K? Dr. K: (Chuckling) "Dips... " Uh, caught me off guard. Scarlet: Holy teacher's pet. Hud: Yeah, she's a special snowflake. London: Hey! Dr. K: Enough bickering! London, why don't you help assess? HUD: I don't need her help. Dr. K: I disagree. Dr. McWhinnie, you'll shadow Dr. Jane Blake for the day. Everybody, get your faces... out of my face. Go! Dylan: So the extension was connected to a room in old south wing? Where is that? Wes: Old part of the hospital. South side, branches off like a wing. There's clues in the name if you listen. Mikayla: That wing was shut down. Dylan: Why? Wes: Haunted. Dylan: Right. Mikayla: No, seriously. It's like creep-city. Dylan: Cool! Who's up for an adventure? Wes: I'm in. How'd you get Jared to cough that up, anyway? I-I promised him a date with Mikayla. Mikayla: (Annoyed exhale) Yeah, good luck, guys. Dylan: Wait. You're not coming with us? No, Dylan. I don't wanna come on your little adventure. And I don't wanna go to old south wing, and I don't wanna go on a date with Jared. Okay, we can call the date off. Mikayla: No, that's not the point. Friends don't sell out friends like you just did to me. (Receding footsteps) (Water flows) Jane: Pretty typical gastrostomy. Patient cannot eat on his own, so I'm going to insert a feeding tube into his stomach until he can. Are you recording everything I'm saying? Scarlet: I don't wanna forget it. I look up to you so much. More than any other doctor here. Jane: Even Dr. Karamichaelidis? He has his favourite... it's not me. Really. Who is it? Scarlet: Don't get me wrong, okay? I love London, and it's really not her fault, but... Dr. K is always defending her and laughing at her lame jokes. (Clears throat awkwardly) This is totally inappropriate. Sorry. No, I appreciate your candor, Scarlet. I do. In fact, why don't you scrub in? I will go change! (Jane takes a deep breath, door closes) Veronica: Oh! Ow! Ow! Hud: I hate to say it, but it's appendicitis. Veronica: Oh no. Really? London: Why are you so sure? Hud: Her indigestion, rapidly worsening pain, and also, because... it's appendicitis. Veronica: I'm terrified of surgery. I hate needles. I know that must sound childish. Hud: No, it's not childish. Dr. Blake here has got a list of phobias as long as her arm. Loud noises, sunken ships... Pineapples for some reason. London: He's joking. I'm only slightly acrophobic. It's afraid of heights. Hud: And of being wrong. Don't worry, we'll take good care of you. Do you have to second guess me in front of the patient? London: She's of child-bearing age. It could present as appendicitis but actually be pid or a tubal pregnancy. We should run a Beta-HCG test to make sure. Uh, I'd like to do that that test. Hud: Course. Dr. Blake here will deal with the lab. London: Wait. Can you deal with the lab? Hud: No. You forced the issue, you do it. London: No, I can't! The lab tech and I, it's very awkward. Whatever happens with Veronica's test results, I'll tell Dr. K it was all you, and you're a genius doctor, and... I'll take your next on-call rotation. Hud: Next two on-call rotations? Yes! Thank you. Dylan: I can't believe Mikayla bit my head off like that. You did saddle her up with Jared. It's one date. It's not a big deal. It is to her. I mean, she's... She's never had a boyfriend or... been on a date. Well, I didn't know that. Why? (Sighs) Dylan: Ugh! I am in the dark here, Wes. And whoa... speaking of dark, this is way creepier than I thought it would be. Wes: (Whispers) Awesome. This is the old psychiatric ward. They decided to build a new one because, you know, it's a little more friendly. Dylan: Good. Because this is freaking Azkaban. What do you think's in there? Wes: Huh. Reception area, maybe? Dylan: We have to get in there. Wes: Okay. (Wrenches wood from frame) (Low rumbling of machinery in the distance) Wes: Here. Dylan: Thanks. Wes: Hey, no problem. Dylan: The filing cabinet. Maybe it has old records. (Filing cabinet scrapes across floor) (Heavy thump, Wes and Dylan gasp in horror) (Shaky breaths) (Shocked whisper) It's a body! Mm-mm. Mm... nope. This is not good. This is not good! Dylan: We have to find out whose office this is! Wes: But no, there's a De-d-Dylan? Uh... (Drawer slides open) Dylan: You've seen a body before, Wes. Wes: Yeah, but... old people bodies! Died-of-natural-causes bodies! But people who die of natural causes, they don't roll themselves up in tarps and shove themselves in filing cabinets, which means this is a mrder body. This is a mrder body. Dylan: Hold this. (Box cutter blade ratchets) No! Evidence! Dylan... we shouldn't... evidence! (Tarp tears) Dylan! (Tarp rustles) Dylan: Ew! Wes: Oh! No, no, no, no, no. Oh no. Dylan: (Shaky exhale) It's a woman. It's the... it's the same diamond ring. Thank God. (Breathless) That's great. But why's that great? Dylan: Because that means this isn't my dad. (Phone rattles) (Taps phone) Dr. Ellen Yan. I mean, do you... You think that's her? Your dad had her phone extension. I mean, you don't think he... Dylan: He had nothing to do with this, Wes. It's not connected. It can't be. (Sighs) So what do we do now? We do what you should do when you find a dad body. Call the police. Seth: Hey, I'm pretty slammed right now, man. Hud: They're for Dr. London Blake. (Scribbles on paper) Seth: Oh. Yeah. Top of the pile then. So all I have to do to get prioritized is make out with you, huh? Seth: (Sighs) London told you? Hud: It was an educated guess, unfortunately, for me. Seth: Hey, you guys started your residency at the same time, right? Six brutal months ago. So you know her. Like... any advice? I-I don't want to get involved in your nerd drama. Seth: Oh. Hmm. (Lab order rustles) Hud: (Sighs heavily) Fine. Look. This... this one time, I overheard London talking about what she finds romantic... Rooftops. (Lab order rustles) Veronica: Oh! Ow! Agh! London: You know, we can help manage the pain. Veronica: No, no. Let's just wait for the test results. (Phone chimes) Oh no. Veronica: Is it bad news? London: Oh no, it's not about you. I... I have got to go talk to somebody. Veronica: Oh... you don't seem real happy about it. Well, it's not the guy, it's the place. It's London, right? London Blake? Uh, it's Dr. Blake. Veronica: (Painful exhale) Did you know that guy that went missing a while back? 'Cause it was all over the news. Yeah. That's... that's my dad. Oh, no... I'm so sorry. That's hard. He hasn't called you at all? Oh... I think I remember reading there was another daughter, your sister? That must be hard, her being so young. London: Well, uh... Veronica: And it's weird that the police don't have any leads? London: Police closed the case, and I'm closing this conversation. Veronica: Oh my God, I'm... I'm sorry! I've offended you. I'm just so nervous about these test results. Please don't be mad. London: I'm not mad. (Phone chimes) I'll uh... I'll check back with you in a bit. Thanks, Dr. Blake. Goodis: Right. Yeah. Looks mummified. Okay. (Phone beeps off) Dylan: Thanks for coming, Detective Goodis. Wes: Yeah, we shouldn't even be here. Goodis: Look, my team is on the way, so you two need to get outta here. I'll just say I got an anonymous tip. Can you at least tell us what you found out? Goodis: (Tapping pen) Dr. Ellen Yan was the last psychiatrist in charge of the ward before it got shut down. Hmm. She was reported missing last fall. Now we know why. That's just before my dad disappeared... There's no way he did this. Wes: No, I know... It's probably just a coincidence. Don't worry, we'll figure out the connection. (Door bursts open) You let Dr. McWhinnie assist with your gastrostomy? Jane: Her suture technique is impeccable. Far above her peers. Dr. K: You let her suture? Jane: Yeah. Dr. K: She's not ready for that. Scarlet is my resident. Really? Because as far as she's concerned, London is your only resident. Dr. K: Ridiculous. Jane: Mm-hmm? If I pay more attention to London, it's because she needs it. Or because she's better than they are, or... She's your girlfriend's daughter? Dr. K: Maybe. Jane: Yeah. Jane: Look, if Scarlet already sees this preferential treatment, it won't be long before London sees it too and wonders why. (Sighs) I'll dial it back. Jane: Thank you. Dr. K: Can I help it, though?

Rayna: A-mazing! (Car honks) You must get in this car. Teddy: She's right. Get in, let's go. Can't do it... Court orders. Since when do you follow the rules? (Car horn blasts) All right! God!

Call them. If you don't, I will! London: Seth?! What're you doing here? Seth: Um... um, looking for you! Yeah, just wanted to make sure we're still on for tonight. (Light kiss) London: Uh...

Dylan: Come on, it'll be fun. We can play good-cop, cute-cop. I'm sure you can figure out who the cute-cop is. Wes, come on. Please, stop freezing me out. Hud took me to a place that my dad drew and that's it. Really? And nothing else happened? Of course not. Wes: You know it sucks, right? Liking someone who doesn't like you back. (Sighs) He hates me. He doesn't hate you. He's just hurt. And I'm the reason. But I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Can you just please come with me and stake out the loft tonight? I can't tonight... Because of Jared. He's making you work a double? No... we're hanging out. Good Lord. (Sighs heavily) So I have no one. Well, that's not true. Uh... Wes will come around.

Edward: Aren't you the young man who swam in my pool in his underwear? Wes: (Chuckles) Sir, when you say it like that, it makes it sound like there's something going on between us.

Donnie. I mean, you guys know each other? Seth: Uh... who? London: My patient with the broken femur. The one you yelled at, then pretended not to know when I walked in? Yeah, uh, Donnie. Um, yeah, he's my step-cousin. London: What? He's been my patient for days! Why would you not tell me that? Seth: Can we not talk about it? London: We can't not talk about it. He's your family. Seth: And I hate talking about them. London: But you know everything about my family and... And you've never mentioned yours, and now one of them is my patient! Seth: So what do we need to do to get a table here? Hey! Do I need to text your iPad or... Okay, this is ridiculous. London: Yeah, it is ridiculous. Why won't you tell me about your cousin? Seth: Step-cousin. Step-cousin. Do you wanna go somewhere quiet and talk? Seth: You know, I'm not feeling that great. Let's just take a rain check. London: Wait, wait, you're leaving? Seth: Uh, I'm sorry, London. (Engine hums) (Phone buzzes) Dylan: Shouldn't you be harassing people on street corners? Teddy: How do you know I'm not? Come on, you should be happy I took a minute to talk to you. Actually, I am. It's been a super-dupe day. Teddy: Yeah, for real. I'm bored off my ass right now. Got me thinking about the good old days though. Thinking about you and me. (Traffic rumbles, crickets chirp) Dylan: Hey, does your dad's alarm company handle the security for uh... metal factory lofts? Teddy: Uh... I dunno, maybe. I can check. Isn't that where I saw you last night? Dylan: Maybe. Teddy: Oh, ho! You smell that? Dylan: What? Teddy: It smells like... A Dylan Blake/Teddy Ralston reunion tour to me! Dylan: Uh, no. Teddy: Hey, look, the codes are yours... Just as long as me and the rest of the crew can tag along. Dylan: I don't know, Teddy... Well, then I don't know if I can give you the codes. Dylan: (Sighs) (Door opens and closes) Teddy: D? Dylan: Never mind. Hey! Stop! Hey, I'm talking to you. Where's my dad? Are you two having an affair?! Is he staying with you in loft 202? Answer me! Go home, Dylan! You can't be here! (Raps seat) Go! Dylan: How do you know me?! (Cab rumbles away) (Panting) (Door bursts open) Dylan: We need to talk. Goodis: You need to knock. Dylan: No time. I caught a break. Goodis: Dylan, I'm working a huge case here. dad psychiatrist found in an abandoned hospital wing. Maybe you remember it? Dylan: Yeah, and I've been working my own angle. I found the blonde woman from the security tape. Goodis: How? Dylan: In my dad's watch, there was a message for me, and on the back, it was the dad psychiatrist's phone number. I dug around in some old hospital records and found out that Dr. Yan was treating my dad for schizophrenia. Which I'm guessing you already knew. Goodis: It wasn't my place to tell you. But now you know why I didn't wanna close the case. Dylan: My dad was always paranoid that something bad was gonna happen, a symptom of his illness. He used to tell me to always have a place to hide. He drew this over and over again and I found out where it is. This view matches up with a second story loft in a building across the street. And last night I saw the blonde woman in the leopard print coat exit that same building. She called me by my name before she took off. Goodis: It's not enough to reopen the case. But you believe me, right? You can look into the loft. I can't just kick the door down. All right, unofficially... If you figure anything else out, let me know. Dylan: Thank you. Goodis: Huh. (Door opens) (Nervous exhale, phone rings nearby) Jared: (Sighs heavily) Wes: What happened? Dude! Jared: I tried. I really did. But you only get called up to Edward Blake's office for bad news. You're gone. (Phone rings in the hall) Wes: They fired me? Jared: It's a volunteer position, they can't really "fre" you. But you aren't allowed to be here anymore. Wes: No. No, no, no, no, no. I nee-I need, I need this gig. This is supposed to get me scholarships, reference letters. You know I'll write you one. Not from you, moron! (Exhales sharply) How do I fix this? You could fall on your sword. A sincere apology is your only hope. And don't make any jokes. Page over hospital PA: Dr. Card, OR 2. Dr. Card, OR 2. Donnie: Go fish. London: Oh! What-what's happening here? Donnie: Somebody called my family. Everybody out! Go! London: (Awkwardly) H-hi. Hi. Uh, Wa... was that somebody your step-cousin Seth? Donnie: He told you? Of course, it was Sethy! Guy's a sweetheart, honestly, but what a thick-nog, you know? London: You and Seth don't seem... Related. Donnie: Well... Seth's mom married my Uncle when he was about thirteen. I always looked up to him. Brainy. Like you. So tell me, Doc, what are the results? London: You have a staph infection. Look, I really gotta get outta here. Well, if I discharge you and you have an issue, you could lose your leg. Donnie: I don't think you understand, okay? I can't be here anymore. London: Why? Scarlet: Dr. Blake? A word? Now. Right... right now. You see the cute guy with his collar popped? The one with the goatee? London: Mm-hmm. Scarlet: That's Iggy Mara. I dated him for two weeks last year. Two weeks before I realized... This was his family. What, Donnie's a Mara?! And that means he's in the mob. London: And that means... Seth is, too. Scarlet: What?! Who was talking about Seth? (Sighs heavily) Dylan: All right, look, you and the guys can tag along. Just gotta make sure I don't get caught breaking probation. Teddy: You wanna tell me why you want in this loft so bad? Dylan: Since when does why we're breaking into a place matter? At least we'll be together, right? Teddy: Good point. All right, I'll pick you up when you're done being a goody-good, finger painting whatever... (phone thuds) Richard: So Agent Sheppard hadn't... He hadn't been to Kiev. Like, I mean, he had seen it, right? He'd seen it. But only in... like, just in uh... just in, in pictures or a... on travel sites. That's-that's it. My contact is late. My contact is late. Dylan: Well, I'm in! Richard: (Laughs) Dylan: That's for your novel, right? Richard: Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah. (Dylan's phone buzzes) Richard: Can I see this for... Dylan: Uh, hey, dad! Richard: No, just I wanna see, okay? I just wanna see who is so enthralling that my daughter cannot detach herself from this phone. Teddy. Teddy: "Wassup, yo?" He sounds like an idiot. Dylan: Well, he's not. Richard: He's not? Is this a boyfriend? Dylan: No, no, we just met! He's in my math class. Can I have my phone back, please? Richard: I'm sorr... look, I-I-I just... I just wanna make sure you surround yourself with good people, okay? Not people who are gonna lead you down a dark path. Dylan: I'm not one of your characters, remember? Richard: No. Dylan: Besides, nobody leads me anywhere I don't wanna go. Richard: I'm counting on that. You are not supposed to be talking to those people. Dylan: I can't stop them from calling my phone. (Phone rings nearby, people chatter) What happens to you and Dr. K when dad comes back? Jane: I want him to come back, I really do. I want that for you. I want it for the family. People grow apart sometimes. Dylan: You'll get a divorce? Jane: I don't know. I guess. I love Dominic. I know that's hard to hear. I... Dylan. Dylan! (Gasps, exhales sharply) (Elevator dings, doors rumble open) Wes: Excuse me, um, (Clears throat) Dr. Blake. Ten, please. Was Jared not clear about my instructions? Yeah. If only I could explain. Edward: You made inappropriate remarks in front of important people. Yes, and I-I sincerely apologize for that. If-if you allow me to keep my volunteer position, I won't ever talk again. (Elevator dings) (Doors rumble open) You and my Dylan... Are friends? Wes: Uh, yes, Sir, we are. Edward: Dr. Hudson? Wes: No, we are not friends. Ah. I recognize teenage drama when I see it. Whomever it's about, it doesn't matter, you can't speak to people like that. All right, but having Open Heart Memorial on my resume is very important to me. I-I've wanted to be a doctor ever since I was a kid. Edward: And Med School is a long way off. So what's the real answer? Why do you wanna be here right now? Wes: I lost my parents when I was five years old. Now, being here, helping people, makes me feel like I am doing something useful, and that I could stop someone else from feeling the way that I felt when my parents died. You know, if being a doctor is your calling, you will need to make better choices going forward. Wes: Going forward? (Elevator dings) Doe1s that mean... ? Edward: You have a second chance, Mr. Silver. Boys let others goad them into talking before thinking. Men get their brains ahead of their mouths. Thank you for the second chance. Value it. I don't give third chances. (Exhales, relieved) London: Fish tacos. I-I got as many as would fit in the container. That's sweet. Thanks. London: Why didn't you tell me your family is... who they are? Seth: A bunch of thugs? London: They seem nice. Yeah, the maras are not nice. Well, they have nice jackets. Seth: Yeah, ones that fell off the back of a truck. Truth is, I'm ashamed of them. Really? I could hardly tell. Seth: So you wanna break up? London: Of course not. If anyone understands family drama, it's me. Seth: Family drama? Is your Uncle in jail for bribing a judge? London: No... but your family is not you. Seth: I'm sorry I ruined our date. You know, having them here, in my space, it's... it's making me crazy. London: Okay, well, how can I help? Seth: Discharge Donnie. London: What? He has a bacterial infection! Seth: It's dangerous for him to be here. London: Come on! Seth: How did Donnie say he broke his leg? London: He tripped. Seth: Onto a hammer? You think someone broke his leg on purpose? The lockdown the other day... someone said they spotted a guy with a gn. This is shortly after a member of my notoriously crappy family is admitted here with a mysterious injury. What do you think that's about? London: Yeah, well, that stuff only happens in movies. Seth: This is real life. My real life. Look, discharge Donnie. If he goes, the maras go with him. Please? (Low hum of chatter) Man, I hate fighting with you. Both: (Chuckle) Me too. I kissed Hud on the cheek. As a thank you for helping, mostly. Huh. (Clear throat) Okay. He wasn't happy about it, if that makes you feel any better. No, no, it-it doesn't. I don't get it, he's so old. He's not that old, but point taken. Look, it's nothing. I don't... I don't even know why I did it. It's just... over. Can we please be cool again? Well, I guess he is, you know, kinda handsome. Like an old handsome... Stop. Why were you crying? Um... Every morning, when I wake up I expect to hear my dad banging around the kitchen, and making breakfast. And for a tiny second, before I'm fully awake, I forget. And then, I remember... Every morning. Until I find him, nothing's gonna be right. I'm never gonna be right. Then I guess we should find him. Okay? And we'll... we'll stake out that loft. Good-cop, cute-cop, remember? Thanks, but staking out the loft isn't gonna work. I have to break in. London: Hey, Donnie! Donnie! Just so you know, I've discharged you against my better judgment. My professional recommendation is for you to remain in-hospital. Donnie: Not a good idea. London: Yeah, I know. Donnie: You know what? You're a good match for Sethy. I can see it. London: Okay. Well, take all of these. If the infection spreads, get back here immediately. Donnie: Will do. Thanks. It's nice to have a doctor in the family. (Doors rumble shut) Mikayla: You could go to jail. Hanging out with Teddy and Rayna violates your probation. Not to mention the whole breaking and entering part. Wes: You said Goodis was on it. Dylan: His hands are tied until I can get proof that my dad's connected to that place. Mikayla: I seriously doubt a Detective wants you to commit a crime. Wes: Yeah, Goodis has a serious problem if he's encouraging you to do this. Dylan: He's not encouraging me, okay? I saw the blonde woman coming out of that building. Teddy has the entry codes. All we gotta do is walk through the door. Wes: Then we're coming with you. Mikayla: We are? Dylan: No, you're not. Mikayla: What if you get caught, Dylan?

(Car door opens, police chatter over radio) Rayna: Who brought the heat? Dylan: Oh no... hey! Hey, officer! Can I get some directions off you or what?! (Truck rumbles nearby) Directions to where? Dunno. The mall? Goodis: Mall's closed. What's going on out here? Uh, what's your name? I don't have to tell you my name. We're just hanging out. Goodis: All right, well, I'm going inside. When I come back out, I want you both gone. Catch you later, crime stopper. Teddy: What was that, huh?! You set us up? Dylan: What're you talking about? Teddy: We bail on you, you dime on us? Dylan: Hey, I just saved your ass. In case you didn't notice, I'm the one who stuck around. Teddy: Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry, okay? It's just... that was insane. You were cool as ice though.

Well, for that I need probable cause, and nothing suspicious has happened in that building... oh, except for last night. There was a bunch of teens loitering about.

Dylan: No. No, no, no. This whole thing is starting to feel a whole lot worse than just some stupid affair. I don't know, I can't I can't explain it, it just it feels bigger. I need a few moments in here, alone, to figure this out. Good luck shutting down the party. I mean, what do you wanna do? Dylan: (Sighs) (Music cuts out) Dylan: Everyone out or I'm calling the cops! (Heels clack) (Mikayla's phone rings, Veronica sighs) Veronica: (Annoyed sigh) (Doors rumble shut) Dylan: I mean it, Teddy. I don't wanna do this, but I will. Rayna: Teddy, forget her. Let's go. Teddy: She's bluffing. The Dylan Blake I know wouldn't sell out her friends. Dylan: Yeah, well, that girl's gone. I took the fall for you once, but I'm not gonna do it again. So why don't you do what you do best, and bail. Wes: Yeah, just leave while you still can. Teddy: You know what, dude? I really don't like you... And I really don't like the new Dylan Blake either. Dylan: I don't need you to. I'd like to report a break and enter. Metal factory lofts, unit 202. You need to hurry. They're still here. Teddy: Yeah, nice try. There's no one even on the phone. 911 dispatcher over speaker: Officers are on their way. You say they're still in the building? Hello! You still there? Can you tell me how many there are? Teddy: I hope your dad's dad. Dylan: Actually, it's just one guy. I know who it is, too. He goes to my school. Teddy: Don't even think about it, Dylan. Dylan: His name's Teddy Ralston and his parents own Homevault Security. Rayna: No! Dylan: He steals the security codes! (Someone bangs on the door) Neighbour: Hey! Open up! You've been driving me nuts all night! What's going on in there?! Open the damn door! Rayna: Teddy, it's over! Let's go! Teddy: You're dad, Dylan! You're as good as dad! Teddy: Come on! Neighbour: Hey! Hey! Hey! What the hell's your problem?! Wes: Here! Go, go, go. Go. Wes and Dylan: (Breathing hard) (Breathing hard) (Whispering) You okay? (Approaching footsteps) Police officer: Police, we're coming in! Sir, I need you to stop walking now. Neighbour: It's okay, I live in the apartment downstairs. Officer: Get down on the ground. Wes: We have to get outta here now! I don't have the pills. We can just tell them it's my dad's loft. The pills prove he was here, they don't prove that this place is his. It just looks like we broke in. I mean, we sort of did! Do you really wanna roll that dice with the cops? No. The fre escape. It's our only sht. (Doors slide back quietly) (Window rattles, door closes) Officer: Hey! Who's in there! Dylan: It's stuck. Officer: This is the police! Dylan and Wes: (Grunting) Unlock the door and come out with your hands up! (Doorknob rattles) We're coming in! (Wood splinters, door slams against wall) ♪♪ Jared: What the hell? Are you gonna refollow me, or what? Mikayla: Not now, Jared. Dylan has a stalker. She's not answering her phone, and neither is Wes. Jared: Oh, here we go. More drama from "the girl who lived." I'm not gonna be your moped. Oh my God, you're not my moped. You're more like a mean ringtone. You know, if you wanna be my boyfriend, you need to be way nicer. Like, as a person. Well... Obviously I'm sorry. Clearly, I wanna be your boyfriend. Also, the girl in the photo was my cousin. (Laughs) Thank you. Refollowed. Okay. Now can you help me with this Dylan thing? Seth: (Sighs) You're tired. Your eyes are playing tricks on you. Seth, it was me. I was six years old, I was in this hospital, and I was crying. What if I'm schizophrenic? Hey... let's not jump to conclusions. Well, my dad is. I'm the right age. I'm hallucinating. Mikayla: London! You need to take a look at this photo. Some sketchy nurse is leaving thr*at notes for Dylan. London: That woman's not a nurse. She was my patient. I ran every test, but there was nothing wrong with her. Mikayla: No, no, no. There's definitely something wrong with this chick. London: Well, she kept asking about my dad, if he had contacted me. She mentioned Dylan. Jared: Sounds like a stalker to me. London: Where is Dylan now? Mikayla: She's not answering her phone. She and Wes were supposed to be at your place having some alone time. London: Yeah, well, they're about to get interrupted. Dylan: That was insane! Wes: (Laughing) I can't believe we actually made it out of there. God, you should feel good. I mean, you were right about your dad. If he shows up, Goodis will find him. Thanks for coming. You don't need to thank me. I am sorry my tortured past ruined our night though. Wes: Ruined? The best night of my life. Come on, a little... danger, some intrigue, some romance, you know... (kissing) Dylan: We should go inside. Wes: Yes we should. (Keys jingle, lock tumbles) (Running footsteps, hard punch) (Door crashes against wall) Dylan: What the hell are you doing?! No! Don't! Stop! Wes: (Grunting in pain) Wes: (Grunting in pain) Dylan: Stop! Don't! Stop! (Wes grunts in pain) Teddy: (Panting) Did you really think I was gonna let this go? There's probably police standing outside my house right now. (Wes grunts, Teddy pants from exertion) If I'm going to jail, I'm getting revenge first. This one's on you! Dylan: No! Stop! Wes: (Grunts in pain) Seth: What the hell? London: Get off of them! Get your hands off of her! Teddy: Go, go, go, go, go! Dylan: Have fun in jail, Teddy! London! Help! Seth: I'm calling the cops.

You have no idea how sorry I am. This is all my fault... I shouldn't have let you come to the loft. I got my boyfriend put in the hospital, I suck. Wes: Hey, hey. I wouldn't change a thing, okay? Especially the part about you calling me your boyfriend. (Light kiss) Wes: Ow! Ow! Dylan: Sorry. Wes: Oh, it's okay. Come on. Ahh. Okay. Yeah. Terrible timing. Huh? Yeah. The worse. I'm gonna make this up to you, I promise. I just gotta figure out how. Wes: I have an idea. Dylan: Anything. Wes: Can you tell Mikayla to get that creep-city bear outta here. Mikayla: Jared said you'd love it! Wes: Jared?! That should've been the first clue that I'd hate it. London: (Light knock) Hey... come here. (Light kiss) Wes: Bye. London: Dylan, come on, what are we gonna do about Veronica Rykov? Dylan: I'm not scared of Veronica. London: Dylan, that woman pretended to be my patient and a nurse. She left you a weird note. What if she's dangerous? Dylan: More dangerous than me? I doubt it. Mikayla and I can deal. Mikayla: Yeah, I've got her back. We'll call if there's trouble. (Exasperated sighs) Mikayla: Okay, there is trouble. I thought the note from Veronica was written on some scrap piece of paper, but there's a URL on the back... wait for it... (phone buzzes) Dylan: But that's my grandma's email address. Why would she... Mikayla: Keep flipping. There's an email thread, but it's cut off. Dylan: For when Richard arrives where? Mikayla: Check out the date. Dylan: But that's just a few days before my dad disappeared. What does this mean? Mikayla: I guess it means... We've gotta find the rest of that email. (Door lock clicks) (Heartbeat thumps) Dr. K: All right, differential diagnosis... Subject one... we're looking at fever, skin lesions, dry eyes and... let's all thank Dr. Blake for gracing us with her presence. London: Sorry I'm late. It's systemic lupus erythematosus. Scarlet: He didn't even finish listing the symptoms. HUD: Yeah. It's not lupus. Dr. K: No, it's lupus. Okay, subject two... London: Ulcerative colitis. What? I read ahead. Dr. K: Okay. New plan. Dr. Blake will come up with a patient and symptoms. You'll evaluate the diagnoses and report back to me. Have fun, gng. (Door opens then clicks shut) Seth: (Knocks) Hey man, how you holding up? Wes: Are you kidding? You should see the other guy. He's totally fine. (Chuckles) Thanks for helping out last night. Seth: Yeah, that was a little insane. Hey, you ever think... wow, our girlfriends are nuts? Wes: Every day. Yep. Hm-hm. Jared: My girlfriend's not like that. She's awesome. You know Mikayla? Super hot. She'd never get me involved in a brawl with dangerous criminals. Seth: Any idea how long you'll be here? Wes: No. But I'm already totally bored. I'll see if I can sneak you in a ps4 or something. Seriously? Man, that-that'd be amazing! FYI, visiting hours are from two to eight. Just-Jared-knock it off... No exceptions. Except immediate family. Seth: Okay. Um, feel better, Wes. Jared: What? This room's pushing capacity and your Uncle will be here soon. How does he even know? Jared: Because I called him. He's your emergency contact. Wes: Dude?! Ugh! What the hell is wrong with you? That's not even your job! Jared: It's called taking initiative. Ow! Ow! Jared: There. Okay. (Knock on door, door clicks open) Dylan: Helloo? Nana? Papa? All clear. Wow, I've never been in here before. This is another bazillion dollar original painting? Dylan: I actually think that one is a gazillion. Mikayla: Dyl, you sure this is a good idea? Hacking into your grandma's computer to find out if she's connected to sketchy McBlonderson? I seriously don't think they know each other. I mean, Veronica could have grabbed some random piece of paper from a hospital recycling bin. But the recycling bins are emptied every night... Jared loses his mind if they aren't.

Oh, girls! You startled me! Mikayla: Sorry. We're just uh, watering your plants! Dylan: Yeah. Just showing the foliage some love. Helena: I swear... Dylan: Hi Nana. Helena: Hi darling. I'd lose my head if it wasn't screwed on. And I'm late for tea with the ladies auxiliary. We're trying to integrate social media into the fundraiser this year... hey, why don't you and Mikayla come with me? You can teach us how to pinblr... whatever. Oh, no. No. I hate pinblr... I'm very anti-pinblr. Um, it's a terrible thing for society! Helena: Really? I know my Dylan is really into it. Look, you're coming with me, let's go. O-Kay. Yep. No. (Winces then sighs) (Nervous sigh) London: Nice. Okay? Real mature, guys. Okay. The patient is in their early twenties. Suffering from anxiety, bouts of insomnia and hallucinations. Scarlet: Any physical symptoms or are we playing shrink to this guy? London: Um, it's a woman. And yes, um, the physical symptoms include extreme fatigue disorientation and difficulty concentrating. HUD: What's her blood work say? It could be drug or alcohol withdrawal. Scarlet: She could be bipolar or schizophrenic. London: No, I don't think that's it. HUD: What do you mean you don't think? It's your imaginary patient, isn't it? Uh, I meant, let's, you know, let's explore other possibilities and then circle back. Scarlet: Has she had a seizure? It's rare, but we could run tests for anti-nmda receptor encephalitis just to rule it out. HUD: If it's autoimmune, we'll need a pet scan. Scarlet: Are we sure it's not schizophrenia? London? HUD: London? (Emotional breathing) Jared: Right in here, Mr. Silver. Don't worry, Wes is getting the best care this hospital has to offer. (Exhales) Hey Nick. Dr. Blake... Dylan's mom. Uncle Nick: What happened? Jane: Your nephew took a bad spill on his bike. He is very lucky he was wearing his helmet. Uncle Nick: On his bike, huh? Wes: The handlebars got me in the ribs. Jane: There's bruising on his 7th and 10th, and a slight crack right there, but very little risk of a punctured lung. Uncle Nick: So is he supposed to go home now or later? I gotta start work in a half hour. Jane: I was hoping to keep him for observation until tomorrow. Full recovery is three to six weeks. Ice packs and limiting physical activity should help. And here is something to help him manage the pain. Uncle Nick: How much are these gonna cost? Wes: Don't-don't worry about the prescription, Dr. Blake. Uncle Nick: Just asking a question, buddy. Wes: And I'm saying don't worry about it. I'll walk it off. Jane: The cost should be covered. (Receding footsteps) Uncle Nick: So are you gonna tell me what really happened? Maybe if you had paid attention when I taught you how to throw a punch, huh? Jared: Hey, that's not fair. He got jumped by a whole gng! Wes: Shut up, Jared! It's nothing you have to worry about. Uncle Nick: Look, I'm glad you're okay. I'll go get your drugs, then I gotta get to work. All right? Jared: I thought I was helping. Wes: Yeah. I don't need your help. Just get outta here. (Sighs) (PA announcement) (Sighs) Helena: Ladies... Dylan: Hi... Helena: You remember my granddaughter, Dylan. She's with us as a volunteer now. Joan: Oh... another budding doctor? Dylan: Not if I can help it! Helena: More like a lawyer. She loves to argue. Dylan: Probably not going to happen with my record. Helena: (Uncomfortable chuckle) So, your smartphone can be a super helpful fundraising tool for spreading awareness. Mikayla: She's not logged in. And I don't wanna keep guessing her password and get locked out... Dylan: And perfect for when you can't really talk to people directly. Mikayla: Can't talk, gotcha. I'll be quick. I'm in the 'forgot your password' link. I need the answer to your Nana's security question. Dylan: I'm gonna scroll through my options... Mikayla: The make and model of her first car? Dylan: Pass-pass me the sugar. Please? Mikayla: The street she lived on at age three? Dylan: Nope. I mean, thank you. Helena: Honey, are you feeling okay? Mikayla: The name of her first pet? Dylan: Okay. I'm okay. Dylan: So, social media is all about making connections. Let's say you wanna target people who love... dogs. We all love dogs, right? Especially our first ones. Ha, Nana? Yours was a little yorkie, wasn't it? Helena: No, no. Cleopatra was a bichon frise. Dylan: Right. Cleopatra. Of course Cleopatra was your first pet. Cleopatra. Mikayla: Got it, I'm in. I'm in. Searching 'Richard' in her sent items now. Helena: I'm just a bit confused. What does Cleopatra have to do with the fundraiser? Mikayla: Found the email! Oh no. Dylan: What? Helena: What? Mikayla: The subject line is Geneva psychiatric institute. Helena: What? What? It's a confirmation for a hospital. Dear old Nana was sending your dad to Switzerland. Dylan: I have to go. Helena: Dylan! Honey, you look a little pale. Dylan: I... I think I'm gonna be sick. I was... I was just thinking about my dad and that blonde woman. His mistress. Helena: Well. Let's try not to think about those troubling things. Dylan: Sometimes I think that blonde woman wasn't trying to hurt him. Maybe she was trying to help him. Helena: That's just not true. Dylan: Where's my dad? Helena: (Scoffs) What? Dylan: I know about Geneva and I know you tried to send him away. Helena: We... we... we didn't send him anywhere. He wouldn't go. He-he found out... Dylan: And then he ran? Helena: We don't-we don't know what happened. Dylan: There's no way he wanted to go to Switzerland! Helena: Dylan, he's my son. Everything I ever did was just to try to help him! (Retreating footsteps) Seth: Hi. That's my chair. Jared: It's a chair. Seth: No, it's my chair. Up. Something I can help you with? Jared: No. Okay. This is fun, yeah. You know, you can't just swoop in here, with your... "Oh, I'll call you an ambulance, Wes," and your, "I'll bring you a top of the line gaming system... no problem." I am Wes's friend. Seth: Really? Seems like you hate each other. That's how friendship works! Seth: Uh, no, it isn't. I have things to do. If you have a point, please find it. Jared: Forget this. Have fun with your germs. Okay. Have you ever done something extremely nice for someone, and realized afterwards that you misread the situation, and what you did wasn't extremely nice, but was actually horrible? I don't think so. Well, it happens to me a lot! And I need some help fixing it. Seth: So, I'm on break, and word on the street is you play a little poker. Wes: Yeah. I play with the patients for m&m's. Which I see you also heard about. Seth: Yeah. You up for a game? Wes: Definitely. Yeah. You play? Seth: I dabble. Oh, I dabble, 'he says casually before hustling Wes out of all his m&m's.' (both laugh) So, word on the street, huh? Dylan? Seth: Uh, no, it was that head volunteer dude. Yeah. He came by the lab and said you could use a pick-me-up. I think he was trying to do something nice for you, but he seemed so angry about it... it was strange. Wes: Uh... damn it. Okay. Jared: (From the hallway) Yes! Hey, got your text. Wes: That was literally a nanosecond ago. Were you waiting outside the door?! Uh, no. Obviously I just happened to be walking by at that exact moment. So, uh, I'm sorry I called your Uncle. It's policy to notify family. I didn't know he was... Whatever he is. He is the only family I got. I'm kind of stuck with him. Seth: But on the bright side, you do get to choose your friends. (Chuckles) So are you in, or what? Yeah. Jared: All right. (M&m's clatter on the table) (Phone buzzes) Mikayla: That's me. I snapped a pic of the full email for your pinboard. Please tell me you didn't punch your Nana. Dylan: No, I just fired some warning shts. Mikayla: So now what? Dylan: Now... Now I storm the beaches. You need to see this email. Do you know anything about this? Jane: Don't tell me to calm down! You were going to send Richard to an institution in Switzerland? Without telling me? How did this woman have your email, Helena? Helena: I have no idea how she got that piece of paper. Maybe Richard? I had printed off the confirmation email and he found that day. And I... (sobbing) Jane: Stop it. Stop crying. I want an explanation! Who is Veronica Rykov? What does she want? Edward: She was blackmailing Richard. She wanted money. Blackmailing? Edward: She's a con artist, a hustler. We don't know how they met, but she was exploiting his illness... confusing him. She had him thinking he was that agent Sheppard character from that novel he was writing. Helena: He needed our help. He needed to be far away from things that could hurt him. But he disappeared before we could get him there. I don't understand this. Okay? None of this makes any sense. I need to-can I go back to work? Mom? Please? Edward: We're not proud of our choices. Jane: You no longer make choices for my family. Helena: Dylan... Dylan: You tried to send him away and he got scared. So... you're all just liars? Jane: We are. I just thought we were all lying about the same thing. Helena: What the hell was that? Edward: I had to say something to put out the fre. Helena: Are you sure you didn't just pour gasoline over the whole damn thing? Edward: Trust me, Helena.

It's (Crying) It's me. Guys, it's me. Scarlet: Yeah, we know it's you. London: No... the differential diagnosis. The p-the patient. It's me. I get anxious, and then I get disoriented, and then I start seeing things. Visions. Okay. Look, I know what you're thinking... Scarlet: Tell us more. HUD: What was the vision? It was someone on a gurney zipping by me. Chaos in the er. Screaming. Blood. I was-I was... HUD: It's okay. London: I was a little girl. Here, in this hospital. I was scared and crying. I can-I can see it so clearly, and I can feel it in my body... It happened, but I don't remember it. Scarlet: But you have a photographic memory. London: Yeah. Exactly. HUD: Maybe it was something you wanted to forget. A trauma you repressed. Scarlet: Acute stress could trigger episodes. London: Okay. Oh yeah. Right. I can-I can work with that. I mean, if I stay stressed, I might be able to figure out what my damage is.

(Chuckles) Dylan: Have you seen this woman? Her name's Veronica Rykov. She was with my dad when he went missing, and she was last seen here at this hospital. If you have any information, my cell number's on there, and there's a reward for any tips leading to her whereabouts or my dad's recovery, and if you post the flyer on pager, I'd really appreciate it. Wes: Okay, she's harmless - we love her, we love her. Are you okay? You're getting a little intense with the flyers. Yeah, that's kinda the point of going public with them. No, I know. But they're all over the city, all over the hospital, all over pager. I mean, maybe dial it back a little, give 'em some time to work. Dylan: Dialing it back isn't really my thing. Wes: Well, what about dinner? Is dinner your thing? Look, I just feel... I feel like you could take a little bit of a break from obsessing and think up a cool new restaurant you've been wanting to check out. Dinner at a cool restaurant and then, what? Dessert back at your place? Wes: Well, no. I was thinking like an all-you-can-eat thing and dessert's included in that, so... Oh! No! Yeah. Definitely dessert back at my place. Yes. I understand. That's my plan. We... We are on the same page. Dylan: Are we? Wes: The flyers are gonna work. You're gonna find Veronica, and you're gonna find your dad. You just need to give it some time.

It's actually about Dr. Ellen Yan. Richard's dad psychiatrist. It's looking like a crime of passion. Not premeditated. Something personal. There was an argument, then an accident. We have a lot of leads right now, including Yan's ex-husband. But I have an unconventional idea. Jane: 'Kay. Goodis: I'd like to throw Richard into the mix. Dr. K: You mean as a suspect? Goodis: I know it's an extreme move, but they'll pour a lot of resources into trying to find a suspect. My husband is not a mrder! I-I-I know. I would... I would clear him. Jane: What is this? What kind of cop... Dylan said you were helping her! This could reopen the case, we could-we could find him. I'm not gonna let you turn him into a mrder suspect to find him. Well... actually, I...

She's got blonde hair, blue eyes. Nice cheekbones and stuff. Dylan: Are you kidding me? All that stuff's on the poster. I need real info. Have you seen her or not? Taylor: If you wanna know that, it's gonna cost you more than twenty bucks. Taylor: That's it? Dylan: Yeah, unless you've got a chip reader, that's it. So spill it. (Phone buzzes) What?! No! Hey! (Footsteps thud) Dylan: Hey! Taylor: (Gasping for air, coughing) I can't breathe. Yeah, karma's a bootch! Now give me my info or give me the money back. Taylor: No. I really don't feel well. Dylan: Nice try. I know what crying wolf looks like. (Coughing and gagging) Whoa! Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Hey! I'm gonna get you some help, okay? Dylan: This girl needs help! London! London: What happened? Dylan: She-she coughed up blood and passed out. London: 'Kay, could be acute bronchitis. Could be TB. Let's make sure it's not congestive heart failure or a pulmonary embolism. What's her name? Dylan: Taylor. Wes: Hey, what's going on, are you okay? Dylan: Yeah, that girl called, said she had a tip about Veronica, but she stole my money and then took off running, and she coughed up blood and I had to chase her and it was just-it was a whole thing. Um... I'm sorry, I just - I gotta see what's going on. Okay, if you wanna reschedule dinner... No, I don't wanna do that. Dinner's happening. London: Dylan, let's go. We're taking her to radiology. I need you to tell me everything that happened. I gotta go, but dinner's happening. Okay, the more you say that, the less I feel like it's true. Dylan: Dinner is happening! (ER buzzes with chatter) (Locker clicks shut) Hud: (Breathing hard) (Chair crashes) Hud: Hey! Did you know?! I swear, if you knew, you better tell me 'cause I am not screwing around here! Scarlet: What're you talking about?! Hud: Justin! The firefighter! The guy you... you wanted to trade me! Did you know that he had right ventricular dysplasia? How could I have possibly known that? Well, you wanted to trade him pretty damn bad! Because he was being rude! Why are you yelling at me? Because he died, Scarlet! He's dad! His heart... (Exhales) Just... (Hits locker forcefully) It was just... it was day surgery! (Exhales shakily) Scarlet: Hud... It will get easier. People die here every day. (Pager buzzes) Scarlet: The ER's getting crushed. Hud? Hello! 911! Come on. (Receding footsteps, Hud blows out his breath) (ER buzzes with chatter, siren wails outside) Dr. K: Driver lost control, had a head-on with an oncoming. Injuries are life-thrat. Dr. McWhinnie, take the driver. Dr. Hudson the passenger. Scarlet: I'm Dr. McWhinnie. You're in the hospital. Can you tell me your name? Dr. K: Hud! The passenger... Hud: Uh, sorry. Dr. K: We need to sab for or. Where's Dr. Blake?! London: I'm here! Okay, there's possible internal bleeding and his bones are unstable. (Er buzzes with chatter and activity) You're shaking. Are you okay? Okay, we need to intubate. Let's up his painkillers! No more morphine. Ketamine. 50 milligrams. Hey, no. Half that dose, half that dose! I don't want him going into cardiac arrest. Hud! Hey! Hud! Come on, this guy needs you here right now. I need you. Tell me you're okay. I am. Yeah, I... I am now. London: (Sighs with relief) Okay. (Machines hiss and beep) (Remote clicks, bed buzzes) What's going on? Dylan: Turns out you've got a bad case of viral pneumonia and a collapsed lung. You're lucky I was there, Taylor. Really? Nothing you wanna say? No "thank you"? No "sorry"? (Sighs heavily) Okay, look. I get it. You're doing what you need to to survive, and I'm doing the same thing. Probably at the cost of my boyfriend... So if you know anything about that blonde woman, Veronica, could you please just tell me? I seen her at that diner sometimes. What diner? Doug's East. Thank you. Taylor: Am I really that sick? I don't wanna be stuck at this stupid hospital. Am I gonna make it or what? You'll make it. I promise. (Hub buzzes with chatter) Goodis: (Angrily) Hey, doc! I was the one person helping you out, and this is the thanks I get? This is what you do? Jane: I have no idea what you're talking... Goodis: My mrder case was ripped away from me. I've been strapped to a desk with an official complaint on my record for harassing the Blake family! Jane: I had nothing to do with that. Goodis: Oh! You're all the same, you know that? You just use your money and your name to tip the scales whichever way you need them to lean. You make me sick! Did you really come here to yell at me, Detective? You cost me my career! Why? Is it 'cause I got too close to the truth? Jane: I'm walking away now, detective Goodis. If you ever come back here, I will make sure that harassment complaint turns into a charge. (Receding footsteps) (Low hum of chatter resumes) Dr. K: Thanks for taking care of it. Wouldn't have had to if you hadn't screwed up with Dr. Yan, Dominic. That was an accident. Lower your voice. Richard told her everything... And now Dylan is making things worse. Dr. K: Now Jane's on board with her and Dylan doesn't exactly talk to me. I don't have an in there. I'll find somebody else. (Elevator dings, receding footsteps) Wes: Hey! Hey! Dylan: Hey. (Kiss) Wes: Where to? Dylan: Um, there's this really cool place I've been wanting to try out. Wes: So this is the really cool place you've been wanting to try? Dylan: I've been hearing great things about Doug's east for years. Wes: Yeah, like, hundreds of years. Dylan: You have no sense of adventure. Are you kidding? I love television shows about adventures. (Laughs) So what did Taylor have to say? Oh, um... nothing really. She was uh... she was pretty out of it. Wes: Oh, that's too bad. It was kinda crazy how it worked out though, right? I mean, if she hadn't tried to roll you, she might not have gotten the help she needed, and I hate to think that... (Door bell jingles, door closes) Okay. Uh, you're looking at that door like you're cheating at cards in the old west. You're a million miles away. What's going on? Taylor said she saw Veronica here. (Sighs) Really? When? Just in general. So you lied to me twice. Dylan: I'm sorry. I... I wanted to do both things and I didn't think you would come. Of course I would come. But didn't you wanna do something kinda normal? Wes: Yeah, for you, not for me. Look, I'm not gonna not help you, but I don't want you lying to me. I'm sorry. I messed up today. Wes: Um... (Sighs heavily) Well, you know, we're here now... And usually places like this have pretty sick milkshakes, so... what do you think? Do you wanna split a milkshake? Now, look, I'm gonna warn you up front, I'm... pretty classic when it comes to flavours, so don't try adding blue raspberry swirl or anything crazy like... Dylan, do you want a milkshake? Dylan: Yeah, no kidding. Wes: I'm gonna go. Dylan: No, Wes, no. I'm sorry. I know I'm distracted. I just, I don't wanna miss anything. Wes: Look, it's fine. It's fine. I'm not mad. But let's not pretend this is a date. We'll talk later, okay? (Rock music plays in diner, people chatter quietly) Mikayla: What? Why didn't you go after him? Dylan: I couldn't. I mean, I wanted to stop him, but I just I kept thinking that I had to stay here in case my dad showed up. Mikayla: Dyl, that's-I mean the odds of that happening are... Dylan: I know, I know, I've been crazy today. Mikayla: Okay, all right, okay. Um, you need to apologize, and you need to bring him a big piece of apology pie asap. Dylan: Okay. Hey, hey, can I get the apple pie to go... like the whole thing, all of it? (Sighs) Dyl, I know you wanna find your dad, but this is your life. You need to find a way to hang on to the people you have. Dylan: I know. I'm just... I'm on my way there now. Just text me the address, please. Okay. (Diners chatter quietly, cutlery clinks) (Paper rustles) Server: Leopard coat... she's missing? Dylan: You know her? Server: Yeah, she was in here earlier. Got a little heated between her and some guy. Um... was this the guy? Server: Don't know. Don't think so, but I didn't get a good look. He was tall, and he wore a suit. (Sighs heavily) That could be anybody. (Door clicks open) Dylan: Uh... hi. Does Wes live here? Uncle Nick: Hey, Wes! Door! I'm going to work! (Receding footsteps, crickets chirp) Dylan: Hi. (Car door shuts, engine starts) I have pie. Dylan: Mikayla said that... Wes: Trying to buy my love, huh? Dylan: Look, I'm... I know that you wanna be this normal couple, but uh... but I can't. I mean, I'm not normal. My life is super not-normal, and I just... I don't wanna lose you. Come here. You're not losing me, okay? And I don't wanna be normal, I wanna be... together. This thing you're doing - trying to find your dad - it's brave. I feel like I'm running in circles. Okay, let's go back to the diner. We can wait there all night. All year if you want. You wanna go? Dylan: No. (Kissing, door slams shut) (Alcohol sloshes in Mickey, low hum of chatter nearby) Hey. Sorry about your firefighter. Go away, London. London: Do you wanna talk about it? Hud: No. I wanna drink about it. Can I have a sip? (Alcohol sloshes in Mickey) (Coughs) Oh, wow, that's... that's flavourful. I'm tired, London. London: Yeah, me too. Hud: Tired of losing people. I'm the only one of us who's lost patients. London: For what it's worth, I can't believe you're as together as you are. And you're not the only one of us. You're the first one of us. It'll get easier, right? London: I don't think it's ever gonna get easier. And honestly, I don't wanna be the type of doctor that ever gets used to losing people. Maybe there's a middle ground. Do you want a hug or something? Hud: No. London: Come on, isn't that what the humans do? Come on. ♪♪ London: (Gasping slightly) Hey, Hud. Hud. Hud: What? London: I can't really breathe anymore. (Amused sigh of relief) Hud: Sorry. London: It's okay. See? There. Aren't you glad I didn't go away? Hud: (Uncomfortable chuckle) Go away, London. London: (Laughs) (Door opens) Scarlet: There you guys are. Hud: (Clears throat) Scarlet: I'm starving. Seth: Scarlet said today was a little intense. I thought a little comfort food might help. London: Oh, yeah, thanks. Definitely. (Kiss) Hud: (Clears throat awkwardly) (Dylan's stomach growls loudly, Wes laughs) Wes: What the hell was that? What-what was that? Did you not have anything to eat at your favourite restaurant? Dylan: Ugh! You are such a nerd. Wes: (Laughs) All right, time for some apology pie. What do you want, warm or cold? Dylan: Warm. (Gasps) With ice cream. Wes: All right, go easy. This ain't the park Plaza, Madame a la mode.

Trey: I'm your big brother. If I don't teach you this, who will? (He smashes the car window with a crowbar) Ryan: I don't know, Trey. Trey: Quite being a little bitch, get in! Ryan slams the driver side door and runs around the back of the car. Trey: Yeah, let's go! Trey: Get in! Come on, let's go Ryan! Ryan hesitates at the door, but when he sees the cop car back up and when his brother starts to leave, he hops in. Trey. Yeah! You should see your face, man! The cop car chases after them and starts bumping into the back of their car, trying to get them to stop. Ryan: No, no, no, no, no! The car slams into a wall and the cops get out of their cars, walking towards them. Police: Hands up! Get them up! On the dash where I can see em. Let's go! ~~~~* Cut to Ryan being walked to the visiting room. He's handcuffed. A man sits at the table, doing paperwork when Ryan gets there. Sandy: Ryan. Sandy Cohen. The court's appointed me your public defender. Ryan sits down. Sandy: You could do worse. You okay? They treating you all right? Ryan: Where's my brother? Sandy: Uh, Trey is over 18. Trey stole a car; Trey had a gn in his pants, an ounce of pot in his pocket, a couple of priors. I'm guessing right now, Trey's looking at three to five years. But Trey's not my concern. This is your first time in lockup. I'm assuming you don't plan on coming back. Your grades…are not great. Suspended twice for fighting, truancy three times…(hopeful) your test scores, 98 percentile on your SAT I? Ryan, 98 percentile, if you start going to class, are you thinking about college? Ryan snorts. Sandy: Have you given any thought at all to your future? Dude. I'm on your side. Come on, help me out here. Ryan: Modern medicine is advancing to the point where the average human life span will be 100. But I read this article which said Social Security is supposed to run out by the year 2025, which means people are going to have to stay at their jobs until they're 80. So I don't want to commit to anything too soon. Sandy: (chuckles) Look, I can plead this down to a misdemeanor. Petty fine, probation. But know this; stealing a car ‘cause your big brother told you to, it's stupid, and it's weak, and those are two things you can't afford to be anymore. Ryan: Two more things. Sandy: Do you want to change that? Then you have to get over the fact that life dealt you a bad hand. I get it. We're cut from the same deck, Ryan. I grew up, no money, bad part of the Bronx. My father was gone; my mother worked all the time. I was pissed off. I was stupid. Ryan: And look at you now. Sandy: Smart kid like you. You got to have a plan. Some kind of a dream. Ryan: Yeah, right. Let me tell you something, okay? Where I'm from, having a dream doesn't make you smart. Knowing it won't come true…that does. Cut to Sandy and Ryan standing outside the jailhouse. Sandy: My office will contact you to remind you of the date for your hearing. Ryan: I'll remember. A car comes screeching to a halt in front of Ryan and a woman gets out. Dawn (Ryan's mom): Unbelievable! What kind of family I got, huh? What the hell did I do to deserve this family? You want to tell me that? Sandy: Mrs. Atwood? I'm Sandy Cohen. I'm Ryan's attorney. Dawn: You should've let him rot in there. Just like his dad's doing. Just like his brother's gonna. Let's go Ryan. Now, Ryan! Sandy: I'm going to give you my card. My home number. If you need somebody, if things get to be too much, call me. Dawn: Let's go! Ryan: (To his mom) All right! ~~~~ Cut to Ryan's mom in the kitchen of their home. Dawn: I can't do this anymore, Ryan. I can't. Ryan: I'm sorry, Mom. Dawn: I want you out of my house. I want you out! Ryan: (desperate) But Mom…where am I going to go? A.J.: You heard your mother, man. Get your stuff and get out. Ryan: Hey, this isn't your house, man. A.J: Oh, you're a tough guy now? Dawn: A.J., don't. Ryan, just get out. Ryan: Why don't you worry about your own kids, A.J? Instead of freeloading off my mom? A.J. punches Ryan. Dawn: Hey! Ryan goes to punch A.J., but A.J. hits in again. Dawn: Hey! A.J. pushes Ryan to his room, where he packs his bags and leaves on his bike. He tries calling several people, but no one can take him in. He grabs Sandy's card and calls him. As Ryan waits, Sandy pulls up in his car. Sandy: Told you. You could do worse. Ryan gets in the car and they leave. Ryan: This is a nice car. I didn't know your kind of lawyer made money. Sandy: No, we don't. My wife does. They pull into the driveway and both get out to leave. Sandy: Um, you know, why don't you wait here for a minute? I'll be back. Sandy grabs the keys and hesitates, realizing what he did. Ryan: It's no fun if the key's in the car. Sandy puts the key back into the ignition and exits the car. ~~~~* Cut to Sandy and his wife in the kitchen, talking. Kirsten: You brought him home? This is not a stray puppy, Sandy. Sandy: I know that, Kirsten. Kirsten: I knew it was only a matter of time before you started bringing home felons. Sandy: Ryan's not a felon. Kirsten: Did you not meet him in jail? Sandy: Yes, technically, but it wasn't for a felony. I mean, it was, but it won't be when I'm done. Kirsten: You're endangering our home. Did you even think of Seth? Sandy: It's only for the weekend. Just till Child Services opens on Monday… Kirsten: What if this is all a scam? What if he's just using you to case the house? Sandy: He's not a criminal mastermind. He's a kid who has no one and nowhere to go. When did you become so cynical? Kirsten: When did you become so self-righteous? Sandy: I've always been self-righteous. You used to find it charming. Kirsten: (walking away) He sleeps in the pool house. Sandy: Where are you going? Kirsten: (dry sarcasm) To put my jewelry in the vault…where do you think I'm going? The boy's going to need fresh sheets and towels and a toothbrush. ~~~~* Cut to Ryan walking down the driveway, sticking a cigarette in his mouth. We see a girl also standing outside and she notices Ryan. Marissa: Who are you? Ryan: Whoever you want me to be. Marissa: Okay...Hey, can I bum a cigarette? He walks over to her, hands her a cigarette, and she lights it using his. Marissa: So, what are you doing here, seriously? Ryan: Seriously? (truthfully) I stole a car. Crashed it. Actually, my brother did. Since he had a gn and drugs on him, he's in jail. I got out, and my mom threw me out. She was pissed off and drunk. So Mr. Cohen took me in. Marissa: You're their cousin from Boston, right? Ryan: Right… Sandy: (walking towards them) Hi, Marissa. Marissa: (drops cigarette) Hey, Mr. Cohen. I was just meeting your nephew. Sandy: Oh. My favorite nephew. Ryan. All the way from Seattle. Marissa: Seattle? Ryan: Dad lives there. Mom lives in Boston. Marissa: Hmm. Sandy: So we're all really excited about your fashion show fund-raiser for tomorrow night. Marissa: Really? You are? Sandy: …No. She laughs and they watch as a black truck pulls up in front of them. Luke: (to Marissa) Come on, let's go. Marissa: (to Ryan) Hey, you should come by, check it out…if you don't have other plans. See you. Sandy: Good night. She climbs into the truck and kisses her boyfriend quickly before they leave. Sandy: Let's go inside. Uh, there's no smoking in this house. Ryan drops the cigarette onto the pavement, and after Sandy steps on it to put it out, they head inside. ~~~~ Cut to inside. Sandy: So, this is where you'll be staying, and this is the queen of the manor herself, my wife Kirsten. Kirsten: Hello Ryan. Welcome to our home. If you need anything, Rosie here can help you. Ryan: Thank you. Thanks very much. Sandy: We'll see you in the morning. Make yourself comfortable. Sandy, Kirsten, and Rosie exit, leaving Ryan alone in the room. ~~~~* Ryan walks out of the beach house, taking in the scenery. Morning. He walks back in and notices a young man, Seth, sitting on the floor, playing playstation. Seth: Hey. Ryan: Hey. Seth: Do you want to play? Ryan just shrugs. Cut to Seth and Ryan playing the game together. Seth: Oh, looks like someone's trying to be a hero, but he got a little cocky. X O X O. It's an unbeatable combination. Oh! Oh! Oh…! What happened to your head, dude? Where did it go? I'm sorry. Did someone die? Oh, hey, do you want to play Grand Theft Auto? It's pretty cool. You can, like, steal cars and…not that that's cool…or uncool. I don't know. Um… Sandy: I see you two have met. Seth, what are you doing inside on this beautiful day? Why don't you show Ryan around? Seth: (sarcastically) Okay, ‘cause it's so great around here. There's so much to do, dad. (Turns to Ryan) I don't know, unless, what do you want to do? Ryan: What do you guys do around here? Cut to Ryan and Seth sailing on Seth's boat. After fixing everything, they relax and start talking. Seth: I have…this plan. Well, I don't-I don't know what you'd think but, next July, the trade winds shift west and I want to sail to Tahiti. I can do it in 44 days. Maybe even 42. Ryan: Wow. That…that sounds really cool, man. Seth: Yeah. Just ht the high seas and catch fish right off the side of the boat. Grill them right there. Just total quiet. Solitude. Ryan: You won't get lonely? Seth: Well, I'll have Summer with me. Ryan: You're going to take this to Tahiti. Seth: (chuckles) Um…no. It's the girl the boat's named after. Ryan: She must be pretty stoked. Seth: Yeah, she has no idea. I've never talked to her before. ~~~~ Cut to Ryan and Seth fixing up the boat on shore. Sandy: Hey, fellas. I thought we'd head over to the fashion show at about seven. Seth: Yeah, have fun. Sandy: Come on. It's a whole new school year, Seth. Seth: It's also the same kids, Dad. Why do they even need a fashion show? Every day's a fashion show for these people. Sandy: Yeah, well, Ryan has to go. Marissa invited him. Seth: (to Ryan) Marissa invited you? I've lived next door to Marissa since, like, forever. Her dad almost got married to my mom even and, like, she's never even invited me to a birthday. Sandy: That is not true. They did not almost get married. Seth: Eh. Ryan: Hey, maybe Summer would be there. Seth: That's interesting. She is Marissa's best friend. 7:00? Sandy: 7:00 Ryan: 7:00 ~~~~* Cut to Marissa stepping out onto a balcony, watching the three guys walk back to their house. The doorbell rings and she answers it, two men in suits standing there. Man: Hello, again. Marissa: My dad's not here. Man: And when can we expect him? Marissa: I don't know. Man: Mm hmm. Well, then, when you see your father, please remind him again how much we'd like to talk. Let me leave you another one of my cards. Have a good day. He hands her a card and the two men leave. She inspects the card as she walks into her father's office, handing it to him. Jimmy: Hey. Thanks, kiddo. I just didn't have time to deal with those guys right now. Marissa: Who are they? Jimmy: Suits. Bureaucrats. "The Man." Marissa: But, I mean, everything's okay right? Jimmy: Yeah, it's just a…just a thing with a…with a client. Nothing for you to worry about, okay? She smiles slightly and turns to leave. ~~~~* Cut to Ryan standing in front of a mirror, having trouble with his tie. Sandy taps on the glass door and walks in. Sandy: Wow, look at that. Fits you beautifully. Where's your tie? Ryan: I'm not going to wear one. Open collar. It's a good look. Sandy: I didn't know how to tie a tie till I was 25. Come on. Give me your tie. Ryan turns around and hands Sandy the tie. Sandy: Button your top button. All right, collar up. Now, the skinny side has got to be shorter than the fat side. How much shorter, it changes tie to tie. Sometimes, it's just a mystery. All right. So you got to hang out with Seth. How was that? Was that…? Was that all right? He's an interesting kid if you get to know him. Ryan: He's cool. Sandy: Cool, huh? All right. There we go. (He finished fixing the tie) Turn around. Look at you. Huh? (Pats him on the shoulders) Beats a jumpsuit. Ryan smiles and Sandy leaves. ~~~~* Cut to Marissa's mother, Julie, and little sister standing in front of a mirror. Caitlin: Oh, Mom, do you like my nails? Julie: Oh, I love them, Caitlin. Do you like my hair this straight or is it too Avril Lavigne? Marissa: No, it looks good mom. Julie: Oh, Marissa, you look…Oh honey, I thought you were going to wear your hair down. Pulled back like that, it's a little harsh on your angles. Marissa :Okay. Let's go! Julie: It's going to be so amazing tonight. Are you going to wear the Donna Karan tonight, Mariss? I thought it was very forgiving. Jimmy: You look beautiful, Kiddo. ~~~~* Cut to Ryan walking out of a house. Waiter: Mushroom, leek crescent? Crab and brie phyllo? The waiter walks away and Seth steps up behind Ryan. Seth: (sarcastically) Welcome to the dark side. We watch as several woman flirt with Ryan. First woman: Oh! So, you must be the cousin from Boston, hmm? I don't know how you do it. I could just never live there. I hate the cold. (chuckles) Second woman: Do you…like Seattle? I mean, all that rain, isn't it depressing? Third woman: Did I hear you were from Canada? Ryan: Yes, you did. Cut to Ryan walking over to the bar. Ryan: Hi. Can I get a Seven and Seven? Thanks. The bartender gives him the drink and he takes a sip. He turns around to sees Kirsten standing there. He hands the drink over to her. Kirsten: Thank you. I want my husband to be right about you. ~~~~* Cut to Seth standing alone and Luke saying hey to his friends. Seth: Hey, Luke. What's up? Luke: Hey! Yeah. Suck it, qeer. Luke starts to walk away but bumps into Ryan. Seth: My vacation was great, too. Thank you for asking about it. Cut to Marissa talking with Summer. Seth: Summer's right over there. Look. I'm sorry. Wait. Don't look don't look. But I mean you can look, but don't look like you're looking. (Sandy walks up) Hey dad. Sandy: Hey guys. Cut back to Marissa with Summer and a couple of her other friends.

Seth: You know, um, I'm going to, uh, sit. (walks away) Ryan: Way to salt his game, Mr. Cohen. We see Ryan and Seth walk over to the kiddie table. Seth: Hello, Chester. Are these seats taken? Okay. They sit. Seth: So, Chester, are you looking forward to your next sailing lesson? You're making some really good strides. (pause) Okay, I'm glad we had this little chance to catch up, you know? Marissa: (talking into microphone) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all so much for coming. Every year, we put on a fashion show to raise money for the battered women shelter. It's such a good cause, you guys, and we couldn't do any of it without your support and the support of Fashion Island and all their great stores. All right, enjoy the show! Marissa walks off stage just as Summer comes out, walking down the runway. Seth: She's got Tahiti written all over her. (moans) Cut to backstage, where all the girls are getting ready. We see a woman and her daughter walk up to the costume designer. Woman: What are you doing, putting my daughter in Calvin Klein? She was supposed to wear Vera Wang. Costume designer: And she would if she had the chest to hold it up. It's called puberty, honey. It'll happen. Okay, girls, chop chop. Show time. ~~~~ Cut to Marissa fixing her makeup in the bathroom. A woman comes in and tells Marissa she's next. A second later, Summer comes in with 2 glasses of champagne. Summer: Look what I stole. Marissa: (holds up bottle of liquor) Look what I stole.

She walks back up the runway and we see her boyfriend staring at Ryan. Kirsten: She's so beautiful, you guys. Sandy: Coop, I think you spent more on that dress than I make in a year. Man: That's why we trust him with our money. I expect to die a very rich man, Jimmy. Sandy: Well, you're bound to be half right. Jimmy begins to look uncomfortable. Kirsten: You okay, Jimmy? Jimmy: Yeah. It's just uh, just…it's a little stuffy in here. I'm going to get some fresh air, okay? (gets up and leaves) Julie: Marissa wanted to wear these Prada Mary Janes, but I told her she had to wear the stiletto Manolos. Cut to a sht of Ryan in the bathroom. Jimmy comes in and walks into a stall, clumsily shutting the door behind him. He sits down and starts sobbing. ~~~~ We see Ryan leaving the party and Summer walking up to him. Summer: Hey. Where you going? My friend, Holly…well, her parents are letting use their beach house as a gift, you know, ‘cause of all our hard work for charity. If you need a ride…or…anything. I'm Summer. She walks away with her friends and Ryan walks over to Seth. Seth: Hey, you ready to go? Ryan: Yeah. We should, uh, go to that party at that girl Holly's place. Seth: Uh, yeah, no, that's all right. Ryan: Summer…invited me. Seth: Really? She did? Ryan: Us. She asked for you, actually. Seth: Really? She did? Summer: (from the Jeep) Come on! Seth: That makes absolutely no sense, but, yes, we should go. (He turns to the people he was talking to before) We're going to go with them. Thanks, guys. They walk to the jeep and get in. Ryan watches as Marissa gets into her boyfriend's truck. Seth: If it sucks, we can always bail… The jeep starts moving and they leave. ~~~~* The jeep pulls up and we see scenes from inside the party. Ryan walks in with Seth close behind. Ryan: Welcome to the dark side. We see some kid using drugs close by. Seth: Oh, hey…cocaine. That's awesome. Cut to Marissa and Summer talking in the kitchen with a friend. Summer: (huffs) Is that a new purse? Marissa: Yeah. Girl: So cute. Summer: Does you dad ever say no? The girls notice Ryan walk by. Summer: Hey…look who I brought. Girl: He's cute. We see Marissa subtly add more champagne into her drink. Summer: I'm going to play him hot and cold. Ryan notices Marissa. Summer: You want to pee? I got to pee. They all leave and we see Luke standing next to a girl. Girl: Isn't it, like, so beautiful? The sand, the water... Luke: Yeah. Hey, you want to go check it out? Girl: But…what about Marissa? Luke: Hmm? Oh, no worries. They walk out together and Ryan notices them together. ~~~~* Cut to Kirsten emptying the garbage and Jimmy walking his dog. Kirsten: Hey, Jimmy. Jimmy: Hey. Kirsten: (to the dog) Hey Dusty. Jimmy: Dusty, look who's here. Kirsten: Are you really okay? Jimmy: Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Kirsten: ‘Cause you know, you can always… Jimmy: No, you know, I've just been working really hard. So, who was that…that kid that…that you brought tonight? You have a cousin from Boston? Kirsten: One of Sandy's clients. He…brought him home for the weekend. Jimmy: Uh huh. Julie: Jimmy? Honey, did you get my fro yo? Jimmy: (sighs) No. I forgot. (She looks expectantly at him) All right. I'll go back. Julie: Pistachio. Thanks, sweetie. Hi Kirsten. Kirsten waves and Jimmy's wife goes back inside. Jimmy and Kirsten start laughing. Jimmy: You ever think this would be our lives? Kirsten: Is Marissa back yet? Jimmy: Oh, well, she usually stays out pretty late. Kirsten: Seth never goes out. Jimmy: Hmm, don't worry. Sure they're not doing anything we didn't do. Kirsten: Oh, that's comforting. ~~~~* Cut back to the party. We see people dancing and Seth opens the door to the bathroom. A guy and two girls are in the bathtub and Seth turns to leave. Seth: Wow, I'm sorry. I should…really learn to knock incase there's a threesome going on in the bathroom. (He closes the door.) Cut to outside, where Seth's getting a beer. Guy: First keg! Everybody get naked! (laughing) Cut to Ryan standing alone. Marissa: Hey. Ryan: Hey. Marissa: So, what do you think of Newport? Ryan: I think I can get in less trouble where I'm from. Girl: Hey Coop! It's your turn to deal. (Waves cards) Marissa: (to Ryan) You have no idea. (She walks away) Cut back to Seth, sitting next to the keg. Seth: I fixed the keg. Fine, more for me. Cut to Ryan, walking around aimlessly. Summer sees him and walks over to him. Summer: Look…who I found. She spills her drink on him and starts wiping it off. Summer: (laughing) Oops. I'm wasted. (She starts hanging onto him) So, what's your name anyway? Ryan: Ryan. Seth: Ryan, you got to come um…what are you doing? Ryan: (He tries to push Summer away) Hey um… Summer: Excuse me? Seth: What are you doing? I named my boat after her. Summer: (laughs) What? Eww…who are you? Ryan: It's not what you think. She's a little bit drunk, okay? Summer: Come on, Ryan. Seth pushes him and starts to walk away, Ryan going after him. Ryan: Seth…Seth Seth! Marissa stands in the doorway and watches as Seth pushes Ryan into a door. Seth: Don't touch me! You know what? Why don't you go back to Chino? I'm sure there's a really nice car in the parking lot that you could steal. Seth walks off towards the beach. Summer: Chino? Eww. Ryan hurries back into the party and notices people whispering and staring at him. ~~~~* We watch as Seth walks out onto the beach and starts throwing small pieces of wood into the fre. Two guys walk over and start pushing him around. First guy: Go home, geek. Second guy: Who invited you? Ryan, who is standing near the house, notices the guys shoving Seth around and heads over to help. Seth: You guys really wouldn't hurt me, because that would be so clichéd. (They pick him up) I guess you're fans of the cliché. Guy: Shut up. Ryan: Hey hey! Put him down! Put him down. Seth: (being held upside down) Hey Ryan. What's up? Ryan: Put him down. Luke: Hey, what's up, dude? You got a problem? Ryan: You tell me. Luke steps closer to Ryan and pushes him. Ryan instantly punches him and Luke falls to the ground. He gets back up and shoves Ryan to the ground, and they start fighting. After one of the other guys joins in, Seth pulls him away and the guy punches him, Seth also falling to the ground. Luke's friend pulls Ryan away and Luke kicks him. Luke: Welcome to the O.C., bitch. This is how it's done in Orange County. ~~~~ Cut to Ryan and Seth walking into his house, both bruised. They're both quiet as they sit down on the couches. Seth: Well, I…I don't know what to say…except that you totally had my back out there. We're, like, in a fight club or something. I don't know. You know what I think? Ryan, I think that if you were to teach me some moves, I think that we could totally take em next time. That's what I think. Give them some of that (kicks), you know what I'm saying? And a little bit of that and that (kicks twice). What do you think about that? (They clasp hands) Yeah. Oh also, that wasn't exactly the way that I first planned to talk to Summer, but I am now on her radar. Do you think I should tell her about Tahiti? Do you? Ryan: Not yet. Seth: That's what I thought. That's what I was thinking. I wanted to make sure, we were on the same page. Ryan smiles and Seth fixes the couch pillows to sleep on. Seth: Quite a little night we had there. I'm not going to forget it. Ryan, I'm not going to forget that one. Seth falls asleep instantly and Ryan stares at him a second before going outside. He hears car doors and looks over the balcony to see Summer and another girl carrying Marissa to her house. Summer: (giggling) I can't believe her. Girl: I swear to God, she is so retrd sometimes. Summer: Shouldn't her boyfriend be doing this? Girl: He's so worthless. They fall to the ground and start laughing. Girl: (whispering) Coop, where are your keys? Summer: How are we going to find her keys? (She grabs Marissa's purse and starts digging through it) I can't find her keys. Girl: We can't wake her parents. Her dad'll go ballistic. Summer: I know, I know. Summer throws the purse aside and stands up. Summer: Bye, Coop. Call us. The girls leave Marissa lying on the cement and Ryan, having seen everything, goes to where she is. Ryan: (whispering) Hey. (He grabs her purse.) Get your keys. He looks in her purse, but can't find the keys, so he carries her inside Seth's house and lays her down on the bed. He hovers over her for a second before covering her with a blanket and staring at her. ~~~~ We see both Seth and Ryan are asleep on two different couches. Morning. Ryan wakes up to see that Marissa is no longer sleeping in the bed he'd set her in the night before. Seth's mom walks into the room. Kirsten: Thank God. Seth waves slightly. Kirsten: What happened to your face? Seth: Mm. I got into a fight. Kirsten: With who? Why? Seth: I don't really know. I don't really remember. Um…I was really drunk. Yeah, I think I still am a little bit. Kirsten: Let's go. House. Now. (She drags him off the couch and to the door.) Seth: Later! Cut to Sandy taking a surfboard from his jeep. Sandy: Oh, honey, you should have seen the waves coming in. Six foot, and it was going off. Kirsten: Seth got into a fight. Sandy: He did? Kirsten: This is what happens when you let someone like this into our house. When we let out son hang out with criminals. Sandy: Well, at least he has someone to hang out with. Don't salt his game, honey. Kirsten: What the hell does that mean? Sandy: I-I…It…I don't know. I just know that I'd rather have Seth hanging out with Ryan than some trust fund kid from around here who only cares about getting a new Beemer every year. There's a whole world outside this Newport Beach bubble. Kirsten: You don't seem to mind living in this bubble. Sandy: I know there's something else out there. You remember when we were 22? What'd you say? You said you'd never be like your parents. You'd never have their life. Kirsten: I was 22. I tnk of patchouli and I lived in the back of a mail truck. Sandy: And you were fun. And rebellious, and…and…you married me. Kirsten: I can't. I'm sorry. I don't want this kid in my house anymore. (She walks back towards the house.) Sandy: Where is he supposed to go? Kirsten: He has a family, Sandy. It's not up to you to decide whether or not they're good enough. Cut to Kirsten walking into the kitchen, where Ryan is standing by the window, looking out. Kirsten: Look, Ryan, I don't mean to play bad cop. It's nothing personal…(Ryan walks over to the stove) is that bacon? Ryan: I usually make breakfast at my house. My mom's not much of a cook, so… Kirsten: I'm sorry. You seem like a really nice kid. Ryan: It's okay. I get it. (He walks over to get his things) You have a really nice family. We see Ryan leave the kitchen and walk into Seth's bedroom, where Seth is in bed, asleep. Ryan: (knocks on wall) Hey, man. Seth: (turns over) Hey. Ryan: Hi. So…I gotta jet. Seth: You're leaving? So…hmm…so, what's up? Ryan: I got to go back. Try to figure some stuff out back home. Seth: Okay Well…cool. Or…not cool, but, you know…what I think I mean. Ryan holds out his hand. Seth: Come here. (Pulls Ryan into hug) I'll come down to Chino. You know, I'll visit you and you can show me your world. Or your hood or… (laughs) Ryan: All right. (He turns to leave, but Seth stops him.) Seth: Wait a second. Just wait one second. Hmm. (He walks over to his desk, grabs a map, and hands it to Ryan. We see that it's a map of the Pacific Ocean.) Maybe there's some place you want to go. It's pretty good for ideas. Ryan thinks for a second and then slaps Seth in the face with the map. Seth: Ah! Ryan chuckles softly and leaves the room. ~~~~ Cut to Ryan and Sandy in the car. They back out of the driveway and we see Marissa waiting in her own driveway. She watches as they drive past her and Ryan turns back to watch her as he leaves. Luke pulls up to pick up Marissa and Ryan turns back around in his seat. Soon after, Sandy pulls up in front of Ryan's house. Ryan: So, thanks. For everything. Sandy: (Reassuringly) I'm going to make sure everything works out, Ryan. They get his bike out of the trunk and Ryan starts walking up the walkway. Ryan: It's okay. I can take it from here. He sets his bike on the porch and unlocks the door. He walks in to find all the furniture is gone and there's only just a note left on the counter. Sandy walks into the house and sees that no one else is there. Sandy: Come on. Let's go. Ryan grabs his bag and they leave the house together. Fade to black.	{"type": "series", "show": "The O.C.", "episode": "01x01 - The Pilot"}	foreverdreaming
Scenes from the last episode. TEASER A few picturesque shts of people on the beach and an aerial view of some houses in Newport. In the Cohen house Sandy pokes around in the kitchen before heading out to the pool. Ryan and Seth are in the pool floating around on inflatable lounge pool chairs. Sandy: Guy's come on. Out of the pool. Dinner's almost ready. Seth kind of wave/acknowledges him but neither of them move to get out of the pool. In the kitchen Kirsten talks on the phone. In front of her is a model house. Sandy works on dinner in the background. Kirsten: Dad, I know. I understand how important the model home is to the new development. We'll sell the lots by Christmas, I promise. (pause) Okay, bye. Sandy: (looking out the window, sighs) I wish there was more we could do. Kirsten: Honey, you're his lawyer, not his guardian. Sandy: I know, I know, I know. In the morning I'll take him to child services. Kirsten: What kind of mother just abandons her child? (pause) What happens if they don't find her? Sandy: He'll go into the system, foster care till he's 18. I mean they'll try to place him, but, at his age it'll be impossible. Kirsten looks unhappy, thinking. Outside in the pool Ryan and Seth still float around. Seth: You know what I was thinking? I think that this being your last night and all, uh, we should do something special. I don't know what. Possibly get a couple of tattoos or some hookers and lose our virginity. Right? Okay, dude, I don't know. There's a shark movie at the IMAX. If that's what you're into. Ryan: (smiles) I think I just want to take it easy. Later Ryan goes into the kitchen. Kirsten: (nearly bumps into Ryan) Oh. How was your swim? Ryan: It was great. (notices the model on the counter) What's that? Kirsten: It's a model home. I-I build them. Well, the real ones, not that one. Ryan: (half smile) Can you build me one? (seeing her look) Sorry. Bad joke. They go over to the table where Sandy and Seth are. Seth and Kirsten sit on one side and Sandy and Ryan are on the other. Kirsten gives something to Seth. Seth: Thanks. Sandy: So... last supper, huh? (Kirsten glares at him) Sorry, bad joke. Kirsten: (not amused) It's just a laugh riot around here. Ryan: This all looks really good. Seth: Yeah. It's too bad you're leaving. We never eat like this. Kirsten: That's not true. I cook all the time. Seth: (scoffs) Dad... Sandy: I'm sorry, honey. (starts laughing) Kirsten: Let's just eat. Sandy: We're not saying we want you to cook more. Seth: Oh, pfft. Hell, no. You remember the meat loaf incident of ninety-eight? Kirsten: That was brisket. Seth: Yeah, that's my point exactly. Kirsten tries to hide her amusement. Ryan quietly smiles as he listens to the family joking. After dinner Ryan and Sandy go over some papers on the counter. Seth and Kirsten clean up. Sandy: As your attorney I'll co-sign these forms. They basically say that you don't have a legal parent or guardian available. Ryan: I'm now property of the government. Nickname: 0382965. Seth: Hey, it's better than death-breath Seth. (seeing their looks) Or so I would imagine. Sandy: So we'll meet with your social worker in the morning. And, uh, she'll be the one to, uh, to take you to the group home. My contact at Child Services got you a room with only two other kids, which is good, because it can get crowded. Ryan: Thanks. I appreciate it. Sandy: And, you know, they do find foster homes for kids your age. Seth: Yeah, because everybody wants a brand-new teenager. I'm sorry if I'm the only one here that'll state the obvious- Kirsten: (interrupting) Seth... Seth: (continuing) But we have all this extra room, right? We have a pool house. Yet you guys are going to ship him off to a group home. Am I the only one who gets how much that sucks? Ryan: It's okay. Really. Ryan signs the papers. Ryan: (motioning to the model house) Good luck with it. It looks perfect. Good night. Sandy: Good night. Ryan leaves the kitchen. [Opening Credits] SCENE 1 At night Ryan tosses and turns in the pool house bed. He finally gets up and gets dressed. As he leaves the pool house he meets Seth who was just coming over. Seth: Hey, thought a little, uh ... (notices Ryan dressed and heading out) PlayStation, perhaps. Uh, are you running away? Ryan: Go back in the house, Seth. Seth: Hey, hey, hey. You can't just run away. What are you thinking? What about like, Child Services, or, or my Dad? (Ryan turns as if to go) Okay, then, wait. Hey, I want to come with you. You know what I've always wanted to do besides sail to Tahiti? I want to do that whole Kerouac thing, ht the road, stop at diner to diner, the pancake tour of North America. Ryan: (looks at Seth for a moment) No. Seth: Fair enough. Where are you going? Ryan: I don't know. ht a town, get a job somewhere, save some money. Seth: (deadpan sarcastic) That's a great plan. Sounds like you've given it a lot of thought. Ryan: You got a better idea? Seth: (looks like he's going to admit he doesn't then suddenly changes to a surprised expression) Actually, I do. Ryan looks at him unsurely. SCENE 2 In his bedroom Seth shoves some stuff into a backpack. Sandy walks up to his closed door and knocks on it. Sandy: Seth? Seth quickly launches himself into bed, yanking the covers up to hide the fact that he's dressed in jeans and a black turtleneck. He switches off the light just as Sandy opens the door. Sandy: Hey, can I talk to you. Seth: Dad? What, is it morning? Sandy: (seems surprised) You were asleep? Seth: Yeah, I was. What's going on? Sandy: Well, uh, I wanted to talk about Ryan. Seth: Yeah, no, it's cool. We don't need to discuss it. Sandy: Well, I think we, we do. I know you're upset. Your mother and I are upset, you know. But our responsibility is to, is to our family. Seth: Yeah, it's okay, no, I get it. This is a person's life we're talking about and we need to leave it in the hands of the authorities. Sandy: There's no need for sarcasm. Seth: I'm not being sarcastic. Sandy: Well, it's hard to tell sometimes. (So true!) Seth: Dad, it's okay. Really. Sandy: Well, when you want to talk about it... Seth: Yeah, I know, I know you're the one to talk to. Got it. (Rolls over, facing away) Good night. Sandy: Good night. Seth: (muffled by blankets) Good night. Sandy pauses in the doorway then leaves. As soon as Sandy shuts the door Seth quickly rolls out of bed. SCENE 3 Still night, Ryan waits at the end of the Cohen's driveway, fidgeting. Ryan: (looking back at the house) Come on, Seth. Marissa comes down her driveway, talking on her cell phone. She's carrying a gift-wrapped box. Marissa: (on phone) Okay, got it. I'll be there in like, twenty minutes. She pulls out her keys and goes to get in the jeep when she notices Ryan. Ryan: (looking uncomfortable) Hey. Marissa: Hey. I didn't think I'd see you again. (walks over to Ryan) Look, I wanted to say thanks, for the other night. Ryan: You always drink like that? Marissa: (pauses, looks away) I though you left. Ryan: I did. I am. Seth comes running down the driveway, skateboard in hand Seth: Ryan, we're all set? You ready... (notices Marissa, waves) Hi, there, Marissa. Marissa: What are you doing? Seth: Nothing. We're just hanging out. Oh look, (points to the gift in Marissa's hands) it's somebody's birthday. I guess my invitation probably got lost in the mail. Marissa: It's my friend Summer's birthday. Seth: Summer's birthday's not till Wednesday. (Marissa looks at him funny) That's what I heard. I don't know. I... that was a guess. Marissa: You guys are up to something. Seth: (to Ryan, quietly, though Marissa is close enough to hear them) Dude, what did you tell her? Ryan: (quietly) I didn't tell her anything. (motions to Seth's shirt) I think the black turtleneck in August tipped her off. Seth: (quietly) Okay, I was going for stealth, and also it's slimming. We should really go. (to Marissa, insincerely) Have fun at your party. (starts walking off) Ryan: You should probably be off. Newport social scene awaits. Marissa: (challengingly) Oh, yeah? SCENE 4 Marissa drives the jeep with Ryan in the front passenger's seat and Seth in the back. Marissa: Why won't you tell me where we're going? This is pretty far away. Seth: Oh, wow, complaining. That's-that's very interesting considering nobody invited you. Marissa: Before I came along, you were on a skateboard. Seth groans sarcastically. Marissa: (to Ryan, about the music playing) You like them? Ryan: Yeah, I guess. Marissa: Well, what do you like? Ryan: Everything. Well, I don't know. I don't really listen to music. Seth: Dude, that's kind of weird. Ryan: (to Marissa) Why what do you like? Marissa: Well, right now, punk. Seth: I'm sorry, uh, Avril Lavigne doesn't count as punk. Marissa: Oh yeah? Well, what about The Cramps? Still Little Fingers? The Clash? Sex pstol? Seth: I listen to the same music as Marissa Cooper? I think I have to kll myself. Ryan: Listen to punk, huh? Marissa: I'm angry. Seth: (pointing) That's it right there. (CC continues: Dude, it's miles from nowhere, totally secret, and I have a key.) They pull up to a house, it's really dark, there's no lights around. Marissa: Look's scary. Seth: Well, then, you can stay in the car. SCENE 5 Seth, Ryan and Marissa enter the house, the boys armed with flashlights. It's not finished and we can see scaffolding still up. Seth: You recognize this place, Ryan? Ryan: This isn't... Marissa: (interrupting) Where are we? Seth: Well, it's one of my mom's housing developments. Her and my grandpa owned a bunch of them. This was supposed to be the model home but it never got finished. Marissa: Why? Did someone die here, now it's haunted? Seth: (deadpan) Yes, that's exactly what happened. Ryan: What DID happen? Seth: I don't know. SCENE 6 At the Cohen home Kirsten talks on the phone, obviously not pleased. Kirsten: HOW do contractors just disappear? If we don't have a model home we don't have a new development. It's been a month, I'm not waiting for you guys anymore. (pause) You know where to reach me. (hangs up) Sandy walks in just as Kirsten hangs up. Sandy: No luck with the contractors? Kirsten: Vanished. My father's never going to let me hear the end of this. Sandy: Mmm hmm. Kirsten: Did you, uh, did you talk to Seth? Sandy: (sighs) I think so. Hey, don't blame yourself. Kirsten: I'm not blaming myself. But how can I allow a strange boy to live in this house? Seth needs to know it's what any mother would do. Sandy: I was talking about the contractors. Kirsten sighs and half smiles. SCENE 7 Seth, Ryan and Marissa continue through the dark house. Marissa: So you want him to stay here? Seth: Well, I mean, I know the place needs some sprucing up, but ... God, did I just say "sprucing"? So, Ryan what do you think? Ryan: I haven't really had time to think. Seth: But how much better is this place than some group home? And wait till you see the best part. Seth opens doors and makes an eerie sound. Beyond the doorway is the backyard with an empty, cement pool. Ryan: It's an empty pool. Seth: To some people. SCENE 8 Later, Ryan and Marissa sit at the side of the empty pool eating some fast food take out. Seth skateboards in the pool. Marissa: So, your mom, I mean, she has to come back, right? Ryan: I don't know. My mom's ... kind of a train wreck. Marissa: So's mine. (pause) Well, I mean, what about your dad? Can you call him? Ryan: Dad's in jail. Armed robbery. Impressive, huh? Marissa gasps softly, looks uncomfortable. Marissa: My dad, he's like, a financial planner. And I think he's in trouble. Ryan: I don't have any stock tips. Marissa: He stopped going to the office and these guys keep showing up at the door, like cops, but he won't answer. (pause) Look, I haven't told anybody about it- Ryan: (interrupting, softly) I can keep a secret. Marissa nods and looks away. Her cell phone rings. Marissa: (on phone, sounding bubbly) Hey. Luke is on the other end of the line. He's at a house party. Luke: Where're you at, girl? It's time for you to get your buzz on. Norland's so faded he can't even feel his feet. Norland: There goes the left leg. Luke: I miss you babe. You know it's not a party without you. Marissa: (walking away from Ryan a bit while on phone) Oh, you're sweet. Luke: What's the deal? I mean you were supposed to be here an hour ago. Marissa: Okay, I'll be there soon. Say hi to everyone. Luke: All right. Love you. Marissa: Love you too. Bye. Marissa comes back over to where Ryan is and sits back down. Ryan: (not looking at her) So how long you been with him? Marissa: Luke? Um, I don't know, really. Seth stops skateboarding and raises his hand like in class. Seth: I know. Fifth grade. When you two got your Mack on during our class trip to the Museum of Tolerance. Back of the bus. Classy lady. Marissa throws a fry at him. Marissa: You know what? What's your problem, Cohen? I mean what did I ever do to you? Seth: Nothing, Marissa. I've lived next door to you forever and you've never done or said anything to me. Marissa: Oh, my God, you're the one who never talks to me. You think you're so much better than everyone. Seth: I do? Marissa looks at him pointedly. Seth: Well, if you're talking about Luke, then yes (jumps back on his skateboard) because that guy shaves his chest! Ryan laughs silently. Seth skates in the pool. Marissa: Hmm, he plays water polo. Seth: We know. Half the team tried to kll us the other night. Marissa looks at Ryan questioningly. Ryan: I'm not too popular around here. And your boyfriend - a little bit angry. Marissa: You're telling me you didn't try to ht him back? Ryan: Actually, I ht him first. Marissa: Well, it's hard to believe you're not more popular. Ryan smiles. SCENE 9 Inside the model house, still at night using flashlights, Seth leads Ryan and Marissa into a large room. The doorway still has plastic hanging loosely over it. Seth: I thought this could be your room. Ryan: I still don't know if it's a good idea for me to stick around or not. Marissa: You should stay. Ryan: Okay ... for a little while. Seth: So when she says it you, you listen? Ryan points and winks at Seth. Marissa's cell phone rings. Marissa: Hey, Summer. Seth: (stage whisper) Oh, hey, hey, hey. Is that Summer? (Marissa nods slightly) Tell her I said happy birthday. Marissa: Okay. Summer is at the party. Summer: Coop, where are you? We're coming to get you. Marissa: (quickly) Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm coming. Seth: (still in stage whisper) Tell her I said 'Happy Birthday.' Marissa: (nods) Seth Cohen says happy birthday. Summer: Who? Marissa: (quietly to Seth) She says thanks. Seth turns to Ryan and looks excited. Ryan shines his flashlight under his chin and makes an equally excited (and goofy) face. Marissa: Um, look, I gotta go. Okay, bye. (hangs up) Marissa: (starts leaving) I gotta go meet my friends. (stops, realizes how it sounds) My... other... friends. Seth: I should get back too. Protect my cover. But wait, listen. We have to promise not to tell anyone about this place, okay? Now, Ryan's not going to, obviously. And I could get grounded, so that leaves... Marissa. Seth shines his flashlight on her like a spotlight. Marissa: I can keep a secret. (she and Ryan look at each other) Seth: Okay, see you tomorrow. Marissa: Me too. We'll fix this place up. (smiles at Ryan) Ryan: (pauses, then) Cool. Seth: I'm telling you Ryan, this plan is foolproof. (CC continues: You've got your very own model home.) SCENE 10 The next day Ryan walks around the model house. It very large and open inside, arched doorways, bright with daylight, but it's also very obviously not finished. There's scaffolding in many areas and the walls and moulding aren't painted. SCENE 11 Sandy enters the pools house. Sandy: Hey, Ryan! (walks in and looks around) Hey, Ryan, are you ready? (CC continues: Ryan?) SCENE 12 Ryan moves some of the large plastic sheets and looks around another room of the house. Instead of glass all the windows are still that translucent plastic. SCENE 13 Looking out his bedroom window Seth see a police car pull up to the house and an officer gets out. Seth: (on the phone, packing a bag) Okay, the key here is not to panic. Do you have your supplies? Marissa: (on the phone in her bedroom, packing a bag) Yeah, but there ARE cops at your house. I mean, do you think it's safe? Seth: I'll handle Johnny Law, unless ... Are you losing your nerve? Marissa: Meet me in the driveway. (hangs up) SCENE 14 Seth (with a duffle bag) walks along the side of the house. He peeks around the corner and sees Kirsten and Sandy talking with the police officer. Officer: He couldn't have gotten far. We'll search the neighbourhood. Seth tries to sneak by unnoticed but Sandy sees him. Sandy: Seth. I was just going to get you. We need to talk about Ryan. Seth: (looking a little nervous) Oh. SCENE 15 Marissa tries to move through her house unnoticed. Julie sees or hears her and calls out. Julie: Marissa? Look who's here. Marissa walks back and goes into the room. Luke is there eating breakfast with Julie. Marissa: Luke! Hi. Luke: Hey, mmm. Just grabbing a little grub before we take the boat out. Marissa: Boat? Luke: Yeah, I thought we'd take my dad's DawnSea. Do a little waterskiing. Have a little lunch. SCENE 16 A the model house Ryan does chin-ups on some scaffolding. SCENE 17 Back in the Cohen's driveway, Seth talks to the officer. Sandy and Kirsten are still there too. Officer: So you have no idea where Ryan might have gone? Seth: I don't know. He did say something about going down to Mexico and-and gambling on cockfights. I mean, I don't-I don't know what kind of jurisdiction you guys have. Sandy: Quit joking around. Will you answer his questions? Seth: Yes. I did. I really don't know. I do not know the guy. I never got the chance. Kirsten looks worried. SCENE 18 At the Cooper house Julie walks into Jimmy's study. Julie: Hey, there's eggs. Oh, I'm taking Kaitlin to the sab so I need that check. Jimmy: Does Kaitlin really need a pony? I mean in a couple months she's not even going to like horses. Kaitlin stands in the doorway, dressed in riding gear (including helmet). Kaitlin: What?! I love China. She's the prettiest pony. Julie: We're not giving up China. Now go wait in the car, sweetie. Mommy will be right with you. Kaitlin leaves. Jimmy tosses the file he was looking at onto the desk. Julie gives Jimmy a look then walks around desk and massages his shoulders. Julie: Jimmy, this work is making you so tense. Jimmy: Look, I got ... I got to ... I've got to talk to you about work. Julie: Hey, you know I don't like to talk about work. Jimmy: Yeah, well, I uh, I've made uh, a few mistakes. And uh, I don't, I don't know really... Julie: (stops massage, speaks almost flippantly) Jimmy, you don't have cancer. No one is dying. Whatever it is, whatever you've done, I'm sure you'll fix it. Now can you write that check? I don't want Kaitlin to be late. Jimmy sighs. SCENE 19 Marissa and Luke are still talking in the same room as before. Marissa: It's just Suki is amazing. It doesn't hurt at all when she's waxing you and it's really hard to get an appointment with her. I know, why don't you get a manicure? (Luke looks at her blankly) You could come with me. I mean there not just for girls. Luke: You go. We'll catch up later. Holly's having a, (pauses, looking to where Marissa's parents might be, continues a little more quietly) Holly's having a thing. Marissa: Perfect. SCENE 20 Luke backs his truck onto the road. Seth (bag with him) pops out from behind a bush and Marissa (backpack with her) walks down her driveway. Seth: So, did you tell him anything? Marissa: No. But if anyone asks, you're Suki. SCENE 21 Inside the model house Ryan sets up a tent. Seth messes around with one of those indoor practice putting greens and Marissa unpacks the bag she brought. Ryan: So you didn't tell them anything? Seth: Um, actually I told them that you went to Mexico for cockfights. You know what though? Even if they don't believe me they'll never look for you here. (notices what Marissa is unpacking) Did you seriously bring a loofa? (It IS a loofa on a stick) Ryan: What's a loofa? Marissa: Hey, you said bring whatever was around the house. Seth: But, I meant like, survival supplies like a rope or muskets and not (picks up bottle she unpacked) Kio's cucumber moisturizer. (CC say instead: Kio's apricot moisturizer) Marissa sets the bottle aside and pulls out a roll of toilet paper, tosses it in the air lightly then catches it and waves it at the boys. Ryan: That's a pretty good call. Seth: (at the same time) That's nice, yeah. Seth putts a golf ball and it rolls into the next room. He goes to retrieve it. Marissa goes over to the tent where Ryan is inside getting it set up. She crouches down at the doorway. Marissa: Hey. (gives Ryan a mix CD with a computer printed cover, titled "the model home mix") Here's a little bit of everything. (she smiles at him) Let your education begin. Ryan takes the CD. Seth comes back into the room, golf club and ball in hands. Marissa moves away from the tent entrance when Seth comes back in. Seth: This place is perfect. Seriously, it's totally safe. Ryan, how perfect is this place, right? Seriously, what else could you need? Ryan: Anyone bring any food? Seth: Um ... yeah, food. Guess we're going on a mission. SCENE 22 On the busy pier Ryan's on his bike, Seth's on his skateboard and Marissa runs with them. Marissa then stands on the back of Ryan's bike. Seth easily weaves around people as Marissa and Ryan whoop and laugh on the bike. They race along, Marissa pressed against Ryan's back. She covers his eyes for fun at one point. Throughout Ryan looks happier and laughs more than we've seen from him so far in the series. (Cute scene but it doesn't work well in print) SCENE 23 Back at the Cohen's home Sandy talks on the phone. Sandy: Well, call me if someone fitting that description comes in. Thank you. (hangs up) Kirsten comes into the room. Sandy: Nothing at the hospitals. Kirsten: I'm sure he'll turn up. Sandy: Not if he's smart. I think Seth knows where he is. Kirsten: Are you accusing him of lying? That'll be really good for your relationship. Let the police handle this. Sandy: Oh, I wish you hadn't called the police. They don't have the resources or the manpower. Ryan'll just slip through the cracks. Kirsten: Sandy, how many of these cases have you seen? Or passed across your desk? Sandy doesn't answer, just looks sort of unhappy. Kirsten drops her briefcase and walks over to him. Kirsten: (sighs, softly) What is it about this kid? Sandy: I thought I could help him. I WAS this kid. If someone hadn't helped me ... I wouldn't be here. Kirsten smiles at him and gives him a kiss on the cheek. Her cell phone rings. Kirsten: Hello. She motions to Sandy that she's going to take the call out of the room, he nods. SCENE 24 Kirsten steps outside, still on cell phone. Kirsten: How are you? On the other end of the line is Jimmy in his office at home. Jimmy: I'm good. Listen, I hate to ask but um, I-I need your help with something. Kirsten: Uh, of course. Julie comes into Jimmy's office. Julie: (sounding like this is something of an emergency) China has alopecia. We need to call the vet. Jimmy just sort of looks at Julie surprised and holds up a finger (like, "wait a sec") and she shakes her head back (like, "well, what are you going to do about it") Jimmy: (to Kirsten) Um, are-are you free for lunch? Kirsten: Um ... yeah. I-I have some stuff that I need to do for work but um, lunch sounds great. SCENE 25 In a casual little restaurant by the water Seth, Ryan and Marissa eat a meal. Ryan: Say, guys, I've been thinking about a plan. Seth: You know, uh, right now this could very well be the first stop on our pancake tour of North America. Marissa: Hey, like in "On the Road"? That's my favorite book. Seth: (looking at Marissa funny, almost suspiciously) Mine, too. Ryan: So here's the deal. My mom had this boyfriend. He hired me to work construction last summer. But then they broke up... he moved away... to Austin. Marissa: In Texas? Ryan: Said if I was ever out there look him up, so... Seth: Well, I mean, well that's ... really kind of far. We were thinking like Long Beach or something so we could all hang out. Ryan: I'll need to get a couple days of work so I can get a little bit of travel money. Marissa: Well, I mean, we can get you money. Ryan looks away, uncomfortable. Marissa and Seth seem to get the point. Seth: Well, I mean, you know, I guess in a way, you're kind of lucky. You get to move to a whole new place, start over, be whoever you want to be. That's really not so bad. Luke and a couple other guys walk in, banging the door on purpose and being rude and noisy in general. Luke: (to someone off screen) Hey, putz. (his friends laugh) What's it take to get a menu around here? Marissa: Okay, I'll handle it. Ryan: That's all right. I'll handle it. (goes to get up) Marissa: And ruin your popularity? You know what, why don't you guys just sneak out back. Marissa gets up and heads for Luke's table. Seth: What's going on with you two? Marissa: (in her bubbly voice) Hey! (kisses Luke on the cheek then takes a seat) Luke: How was the manicure? Marissa: Oh, it was great... While Marissa distracts, Ryan and Seth quickly leave their booth and head for a hallway toward a back exit. They almost make it when a staff member ducks her head out of a room. Staff: Hey! (motions with thumb) Front door. They reluctantly head back for the main area to get to the front door. Ryan flips up his sweatshirt hood hiding his face. Marissa continues to chat with the guys. She notices Seth and Ryan walking through and keeps talking, distracting Luke and the guys. Marissa: So, what did you guys do today? Seth and Ryan try to hurry out but Seth bumps a busboy's tray and all the dishes ht the floor noisily. Luke and the guys (not to mention everyone else in the restaurant) notice Seth though Ryan's made it to the doorway unnoticed. Seth: (to Luke, very quickly) Hi, hey guys, how you guys doing? You like the food here too? Pretty awesome. Luke: Shut up, qeer. Seth: (fake laughs, mumbles) Well, at least I don't shave my chest. Luke: (getting up) What'd you say? Marissa: Luke, come on. Seth: I just say you look nice in a sweater vest. It was a compliment. Luke: (getting up in Seth's face thrat) Do you want me to break you, Cohen? Ryan: (gets between them, gives Luke a little push) Hey. Luke: No way. Look who's back. You know, you're a little far from eight mile. (yanks back Ryan's hood) Marissa: Luke, don't. Luke: What're you like spokesperson for geeks of America or something? Ryan: (laughs insincerely) You know what I like about rich kids? (punches Luke in the face hard enough to throw him back into the table) Nothing. Ryan and Seth scramble out the door. Seth: That was awesome! Ryan runs to the railing nearby and starts to unlock his bike. Seth keeps the guys inside the restaurant by wedging his skateboard under the door handle. Luke and his guys are pushing against the door and thrat Seth. Luke: (shouting from the other side of the door) Your ass is... Ryan gets on his now unlocked bike. Luke and the guys turn and head for another door. Guy: Let's go! Seth waves at them before heading after Ryan. By the time Luke and the guys get outside and around to the front of the restaurant Seth and Ryan are pretty far away, too much of a head start to catch them. They're still thrat them Guy: (shouting at Seth and Ryan) You're dad. Luke stops and watches them go. Inside the restaurant Marissa sits at the table still looking uncomfortable. SCENE 26 In the model house Ryan lounges in a folding camp chair while Seth practices his putting on the mini green track. Seth: "You know what I like about rich kids?" BAM! "Nothing." (CC says instead You know what I like about rich kids? A punch in the face, nothing.) Hey Ryan, you wouldn't consider ME rich would you? I'd be more upper middle class? Seth hits a golf ball and it travels over to the doorway where Marissa enters. Seth: s'up fool? (sounds pretty funny coming from Seth) Marissa: (a bit upset) You know, you didn't have to ht him. Ryan: Sorry. Marissa: You know the cashier called the cops. (sits down, sounding less upset) Look, I don't know why Luke does that... did that. He's just- Seth: (interrupting) An ass? Marissa: Protective. (CC continues, Seth: Now he's after you too.) They hear a car pull up to the house. Seth pulls back the corner of a paper covering one of the windows. He sees Kirsten getting out of an SUV. Seth: God. It's my Mom. (pauses, then surprised and pointing to Marissa behind him) And ... your Dad. SCENE 27 Kirsten and Jimmy enter the model house through the front door. Kirsten: It's been awhile. I have to figure out what kind of shape this place is in. Jimmy: (looking around) Wow. They come down the small set of stairs into a larger room. Kirsten: (notices something) Oh. THAT'S what those contractors have been doing. (Picks up one of Seth's golf balls) Seth, Ryan and Marissa are on the next floor sneaking around a balcony type area listening in. Jimmy: This place is fantastic. Kirsten: You think so? You don't think it's too much? Jimmy: Too much? You're talking to a guy who's wife just imported ceramic shower-curtain rings from Morocco. This is gorgeous, with the high ceilings, and the, and the moulding. It's, no it's ... it reminds me of, uh- Kirsten: (interrupting) Your parents' house. Jimmy: On Elmgrove. Yeah, with the vaulted ceilings and those great beams, and ... remember that? Kirsten: Yeah. I loved that old house. Jimmy: Yeah, yeah, I loved that place, too. I had my first kiss there. Kirsten: Me, too. Seth and Marissa look at each other. Kirsten: (tone serious) So what's going on, Jimmy? Jimmy: (sighs) Uh ... well ... it's been a really bad year with the market and uh, well it's disastrous. And it's going to be a struggle just to remain solvent for the next- Kirsten: (interrupting) How much do you need Jimmy? Jimmy: (sigh/laughs) It's, it's (sighs) it's a lot, it's a lot of money, too much. Kirsten: Jimmy. Jimmy: (turns to face her) It's a hundred thousand dollars. Kirsten: I'll call the bank. Jimmy: No, I, I can't- (CC says instead: No, thanks, I can't) Kirsten: I can. Jimmy: I, I, I'll pay you back. But it's gonna to take me a couple months. Kirsten: (with a smile, not thrat) I know where you live. Jimmy smiles back. Jimmy: This place is going to be perfect. Kirsten: I hope so. New contractors get here tomorrow. Better get the job finished. They head out. Jimmy: New contractors. Kirsten: Mmm Hmm Jimmy: Sounds like a nightmare. Kirsten: Pretty much. Kirsten laughs as she and Jimmy leave. Up on the next floor Seth gets up from where he was hiding and Marissa and Ryan come out from around the corner where they were hiding. Marissa looks upset. Seth: You okay? Marissa: So the contractors start tomorrow. Ryan: Guess that means I'm gone. SCENE 28 Evening, Seth works on the computer in his bedroom. Seth: (to self, reading aloud) One bus ticket to Austin. 8 a.m. tomorrow. Would you like to purchase? He clicks off that window without finishing the transaction. There's a thump of someone opening his door. Sandy comes in. Seth: Hey. Sandy: Hey. Seth: You're not knocking anymore? Sandy: Sorry. What are you doing? Seth: (shuts off monitor) Uh ... just busy. Sandy: You're always busy. Seth: (quickly) The price of fame. I gotta go, Dad. (Gets up and grabs bag) Sandy: They found Ryan. (Seth looks surprised) Or spotted someone who meets his description. There was a fight down by the pier. Seth: Really? Uh... Sandy: Which means he's probably still in the area. We should go try to find him before the authorities do, before he gets into any more trouble. Seth: Actually, do you need me to go? I was, I was going somewhere. Sandy: Seth. Seth: Wha- Sandy: He's your friend. Seth: Yeah. Okay. SCENE 29 Marissa's at another of Holly's beach house parties. Summer stops dancing and comes over to her. Summer: Hey. Marissa: (in her happy, perky voice) Hey. Summer: So what's up? You've been all weird-acting lately. Marissa: Yeah? (normal tone) I dunno, I guess ... It's just ... do, do you ever wonder what your life looks like through someone else's eyes? Summer: (laughs) Alright, this is what I'm talking about. What is up with you? Marissa: Nothing. It's just- Holly: (carrying glasses, in an unbelievably perky voice) Fresh margs! Guy: Yo, this is some weak margarita. Holly: Whatever, you're the light weight. Guy: (laughing and mock thrat) Oh, ho, ho. Say it over here, come over here. Come here. Summer : I hope your parents never come home. Marissa's just sort of standing nearby and listening to all this. Guy: (to Luke) Seriously dawg, we find that punk's trailer park and burn it to the ground. Summer: Who dat? Guy: That freak from Chino. He was all up in Luke's grill. Summer: Maybe he's on OxyContin. OxyContin is gnarly. Holly: Okay, I heard he's like a total psycho. Luke: He's a little bitch. I see that kid around again I'm going to bat his ass. Guy: Yeah, run him out of Newport for sure. Marissa: I've got to go. Marissa grabs her purse to leave and Luke looks at Summer and raises his hands like, "what?" She just motions toward Marissa like, "go, take care of it." Luke: All right, Hey wait-wait-wait up. Where you going? Luke catches Marissa just as she's opened the door. Marissa: I can't be here right now. Luke: (throws his head back and groans) What's the matter? Marissa: You don't know him. You don't know anything about him. Marissa leaves and Luke doesn't follow. SCENE 30 At night Sandy and Seth drive around in the car. Sandy: He could be anywhere. Seth: Dad, I'm sure Ryan's fine. We should just try again when it's light out. Sandy: Could be too late by then. Seth: Yeah, well, maybe he's better off on his own anyways. Sandy: What does that mean? Pause. Seth: Okay, if we find him, then what? Then, then if he's very lucky he gets to go back with his mom? I would run away too. Sandy: Promise me right now that you never do that. That you'd never run away no matter how bad things seem. Your mother and I will always be there. Seth: Okay, Dad, please take it down a notch. Sandy: The minute you were born, I knew, that I would never take another easy breath again without knowing you were safe. Seth: So I'm like asthma? Sandy: I'm warning you. You run away, I'm coming with you. Seth: (half smiles) I guess we can keep looking. SCENE 31 At the model house Ryan lights a candle. There's a number of them around lighting the room. Music plays in the background. It's very moody ("Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley). Marissa comes in, pausing at the doorway, Ryan sees her. She smiles when she notices the music playing. Marissa: This song reminds me of you. Ryan: I thought you were with Luke. Marissa: I was. I don't know why I'm here. I just, wanted to see you. I mean, you're leaving tomorrow, and, what if I never ... we never... Maybe I could spend the night. Just hang out. Pause. Ryan: You can't stay. If you stay ... if, if we spend the night, I ... I don't know that I could leave. Marissa: (walking forward) Well, then don't. Ryan: (backing away) Yeah, you have to go back to the school in the fall and I just what? Hang around here? Hiding like some ghost? Till the cops find me and I have to disappear again? (comes closer to her) We're from different worlds. Marissa: That's not true. Ryan: I'm not like you. (pause, then almost sharply) Go. (more quietly) Please. Go. (turns away) SCENE 32 Marissa runs from the house, sobbing. She gets in the jeep and drives away. In his truck, partially hidden behind a piece of construction equipment, Luke and a couple guys watch. Ryan comes running out the front of the house, too late to catch Marissa. He stands there for a moment then heads back inside. SCENE 33 At the Cohen's home Kirsten is on the phone. Kirsten: (on phone) Hey, Allen. I-I'm good. Um, I know it's late, but I need to transfer some money. (pause) Sure, I can hold on a sec. SCENE 34 Meanwhile Sandy and Seth still drive around. Elsewhere Marissa drives, still sniffling and crying a bit. SCENE 35 Still at night with the candles lit, Ryan is in the model house. He hears someone come in downstairs. Ryan: (loudly, still packing stuff) Seth! I'm up here! Did you get the bus ticket? Luke and two guys enter the room. Ryan turns around, surprised to see it's them. Luke: Bus ticket? You're not going anywhere. What are you doing here, man? What are you doing with my girlfriend? Ryan: (sets down the bag) Nothing. Luke: Didn't look like nothing. (getting up in Ryan's face) Tell me. Or I'll kll you. Ryan: (almost mockingly) Then kll me and quit talking about it. Luke shoves Ryan back and that knocks over some of the candles. The candles catch a blanket on fre and it begins to spread. Luke and Ryan continue to fight. Luke shoves Ryan against a wall and knees him in the stomach. Ryan head butts Luke who falls to the floor. One of the other guys grabs Ryan and, in the process, knocks over more candles. The fre is now catching to the walls. The two guys hold Ryan and Luke slams into him pushing them all to the floor. He bangs Ryan's head against the floor repeatedly. The guys start to run out as the fre gets worse. Ryan's on the floor not moving very much, definitely not getting up, looks pretty much out of it. The guys run out of the room but as Luke hits the edge of the stairs he stops then runs back into the burning room. He drags Ryan out of the room. Luke carries Ryan outside the burning house. He drops Ryan on the ground as the guys pull around with the truck. Guy: (shouting from the truck) Let's go, man! Luke: Run! Luke runs and jumps into the back of the pick up and they speed away. Ryan rolls over onto his stomach and watches them speed away before dropping his head to the ground. SCENE 36 At the Cooper house Jimmy lounges on the sofa drinking a beer and watching TV. Julie comes into the room and leans down behind him, hands on his shoulders. Julie: I thought basketball season was over. Jimmy: Oh this is ESPN Classic. They play all old games. Lakers-Pistons. Right? 1986 The finals. Game 7. You remember watching this, you were pregnant, you were pregnant with Marissa when this was on. (CC says 1988 for the year) Julie: (sits down with him, close, comfy) I remember. Jimmy: We watched it. Julie: I was so swollen. Jimmy: Ugh, I hated Detroit. Isiah, Laimbeer, Dumars. But, but Worthy, James Worthy he saved us. sht the lights out. Fantastic. You know that thing that I was trying to talk to you about? Julie: (warningly) Jimmy... Jimmy: No, I'm, I'm just saying that I, I took care of it. Julie: I knew you would. Jimmy: You did? Julie: Mmm Hmm. Julie leans in and kisses him quickly. Julie: I can't believe I'm old enough to watch people play basketball in those shorts. They watch the game for a moment before they hear someone come in. Marissa quickly walks past the room. Julie: Hey, Marissa. (pause) Marissa? Jimmy: Uh-oh. I'll go. (gets up, hands her the beer) Here you go. SCENE 37 In her bedroom Marissa lies face down on the bed. Jimmy knocks on the door then comes in. Jimmy: Hey. (Marissa, still crying turns and looks at him) What's the matter? (Marissa rolls over and curls up, facing away from him) What's the matter? Come on. (sits on the bed) Hey, hey come here, give me a hug. (Marissa sits up and hugs him, stays like that) What's the matter, huh? You can tell me. We tell each other everything. Marissa: Do we? SCENE 38 Sandy and Seth are still driving around. Sandy's cell phone rings. Sandy: (on phone) Hello. (pause) I'll meet you there. (hangs up) SCENE 39 Luke gets back to the party at Holly's. Summer comes down the stairs, holding the railing and pretty drunk. Luke: Hey. Summer: Hi. Luke: Hey, Marissa come back? Summer: Uh-uh. You smell like smoke. Luke: Yeah, we uh, we hot boxed in Norland's car. Summer: (sounding offended) And didn't invite me? (dramatic sigh) They walk opposite ways. Luke goes over to his friends. Guy: (to Luke) Dude, that kid was messed up. Luke: He was breathing. Guy: Yeah, I hope so. Luke looks a little concerned. SCENE 40 At the model house the fre is now out, though the building is still smoking a bit. It's pretty charred. Police and fre guys still mill around, packing up. Kirsten, Sandy and Seth stand looking at the house. Kirsten: I can't believe this. This house is cursed. fre or Police guy: You the owner? Kirsten: Yes, I am. What happened? fre or Police guy: Not sure yet. But it looks like somebody's been living here. Kirsten: What? Seth: It's my fault. SCENE 41 On the side of a dark road a bat up looking Ryan tries to hitchhike. A bunch of cars pass him without stopping. Finally one stops and Ryan warily approaches the black pick-up truck. Luke is alone in the truck. They talk through the open passengers window. Luke: You're okay. Ryan: Disappointed? Luke: Where you going? Ryan: Don't know. Luke: We both keep our mouths shut. They may never know it was us. Ryan sort of huffs at the idea. He pauses then gets into the truck. Luke: What are you doing? Ryan: You're giving me a ride. SCENE 42 In his bedroom Seth talks to Sandy. Seth: I don't know what happened. I-I do not know why the house brned down. Sandy: What was he even doing there? Why didn't you tell us? Seth: Because he didn't want to go to a foster home. He didn't want to leave and I didn't want him to leave either. You force me to live amongst these, these pod-people and the first cool person I meet, it's like, you kick him out of the house. Sandy sits down on the bed beside Seth. Sandy: I did the best I could. Seth: So did I. Pause, they look at each other. Sandy: Come on. Police want to ask us some more questions. SCENE 43 Still night time, out front of the Cohen's home the police, Jimmy, Julie and Marissa (all in bedclothes) and Kirsten are standing around. Sandy and Seth come out of the house. Sandy guides him over to the police. Sandy: (quietly to Seth) Just follow my lead. Seth and Marissa exchange a look. Officer: You and I need to talk. And this time I want the truth. Everyone notices as Luke's truck pulls up into the driveway. Luke gets out and Marissa gives him a confused/surprised look. Ryan gets out and comes around the side and she gives him a similar look. Luke stands beside his truck. Ryan (who still looks pretty bat up) walks over to Sandy and Kirsten. Kirsten looks pissed off. Ryan: I'm sorry. Officer: Ryan Atwood? (Ryan puts his wrists behind him before the officer even goes to cuff him) We got some questions for you. Ryan looks over at Luke as he's lead away in cuffs to the police car. Luke hesitates a moment before he speaks. Luke: It was an accident. Officer: (said like he expects the answer to be "no") Yeah, you were there? Marissa looks at Luke questioningly. Luke: Yeah. Officer: Then we got some questions for you too. Another Officer comes over and puts handcuffs on Luke. Sandy: Officer, I'm Mr. Atwood's attorney. Please don't ask him any questions unless I'm present. Ryan... keep your mouth shut. (to Luke) You too. The boys are put into the back of the police car. Marissa looks away, uncomfortable. As the police car drives away Kirsten walks back into the house. Seth, Sandy, Julie, Jimmy and Marissa watch as it drives away.	{"type": "series", "show": "The O.C.", "episode": "01x02 - The Model Home"}	foreverdreaming
Opening teaser begins with Sandy signing his name in at the jailhouse. He looks over at Ryan and walks towards him, sitting down. Sandy: We got to stop meeting like this. Some good news. Kirsten's company has dropped all arson charges, which means, pending your probation hearing, you'll be out, no problem. Ryan: When's that? Sandy: 30 to 60 days. I could have you out sooner, if I could release you into the care of a parent or a guardian. Ryan looks to the side and sees Luke getting let out and hugging his mom. Ryan: He gets to leave? Sandy: Who? Luke? Well, according to both of you, the fre was an accident, and he's got no priors. His record's clean. Luke and Ryan exchange angry glares. Ryan: And he has someone to take him home. Sandy: Ryan, you know, if I could...It's going to be okay. Ryan: (scoffs) My mom ditched me. I brned your wife's house down. How is this going to be okay? Sandy: We'll find your mother. Ryan: And what if we don't? Sandy: We will do whatever it takes. Ryan: I mean, what if I don't want to find her? Sandy: If only you'd come to me...instead of running away... Ryan: Why? So I can end up in Child Services and foster care? Sandy: You could have died in that fre. Ryan: Look...you've done more than enough. I can take care of myself. Won't be that different from how it's been. (He gets up and starts to walk away.) Sandy: We'll talk again before your hearing. Ryan: Tell your...wife...thanks. Sandy: Already did. Ryan walks out of the room and back behind the bars. He walks past his other cellmates and accidentally bumps into him. The guy gets into his face. Ryan: Sorry. Guy: You ain't now, but you will be. Sandy slows down as he walks by, watching all that's going on. Ryan looks back at him and is pushed by one of the guys to keep walking. End teaser. ~~~~ We hear Kirsten talking to Rosa as Sandy walks in. Kirsten: Now all we need are the Bellinis...and can you make mine a double? Sandy: Wow, you're all set up for your Newpsie convention. Hey, when do these vultures land? Kirsten: Soon...and I'm sure that I have a doily out of place somewhere. Sandy: Good. Gives 'em something to talk about. I don't know why you have these women over. You don't like them. Kirsten: I don't don't like them. I grew up with these women. They're my oldest friends. Besides, it's for charity. Sandy: What's on the agenda? What event are you dragging me to this week? Kirsten: Casino night. Sandy: You know this home-from-the-office housewife thing...It's really... Kirsten: Disturbing? Sandy: Hot. It's disturbingly hot. Kirsten walks away smiling as Seth walks in quietly. Sandy: Hey. Whatcha doing? Seth: (He starts fixing himself cereal.) Nothing. I'm grounded. Sandy: Well, you're handling it well. You're lucky you're only grounded. Seth: Can I see him? Sandy: Ryan? No. There's nothing I can do for him right now. Seth: Yeah? You think he's okay? Sandy: Well, there's a reason why I like to try to keep kids out of those places. Seth: And, you just...can't get him out, or you're just not a good enough lawyer? Sandy: My hands are tied unless I can find his mother. Seth: So, then, why can't he stay here? Kirsten: I will not have this conversation again. (Turns away from them) Rosa, can you make sure that the scones go inside. Seth: Yeah, well, if anything happens to Ryan, then it's all on you--so I just hope you can live with that. Kirsten: What I can't live with is if something was to happen to you because of him. Seth: Like I meet someone who doesn't suck? Kirsten: We are not his parents. I am not his mother. Seth: (starts to walk away) Good thing. Sandy: Hey! Get back here. Apologize. Seth continues to walk away and the doorbell rings. Rosa answers it, and we see it's Kirsten's friends. Sandy: Ladies. Julie: Sandy, hi. How are you? (She kisses his cheek) Are you holding up okay? That poor boy. He's locked up, yes? Sandy: Yeah, temporarily. Julie: Well, nobody blames you for bringing him into the community. You're so trusting, Sandy. She walks away towards another woman. Woman: Hey, Julie, their house looks good. I thought you said it brned down. Julie: Oh, not this one--one of Kirsten's developments. Luckily, she has so many. Sandy: Well, I should be off. Got to find the next kid to jeopardize the community. Maybe a black kid. Or an Asian kid. Bye, ladies. He leaves as the women stay quiet and look at each other. Kirsten: How about a Bellini? All: Yes. ~~~~ Cut to Ryan getting his food at the jail. As he's walking, the same guy that he bumped into yesterday hits his tray out of his hands and slams him onto the table. He holds a fork and his arm to Ryan's neck, choking him. Guy: You sorry now? You got a problem? You disrespecting me? As long as you're here, you best watch out for me, man. He lets him go and pushes him to the ground. Ryan sits up slowly. ~~~~* Cut back to Kirsten and her friends. Julie: Well, I think it's an absolute embarrassment that the fund-raiser is two days away, and we still don't have a theme. First woman: Well, I thought it was Casino Night. Second woman: I thought it was Monte Carlo Night. Third woman: No, it's Vegas Night. Julie: See, this is a travesty. First woman: It can't be Monte Carlo Night. Cotillion is coming up. I mean, don't you remember out amendment? No two black tie events in the same month. Kirsten: I'll be right back. Um, I have to go uh...check on the thing. Julie: She's been through so much. Her son...was friends with that boy. We cut to Seth in his room. He grabs his skateboard and jacket and leaves the house quietly, passing by the living room where the women are talking about the fund-raiser. Kirsten: Where do you think you're going? Seth: (sighs) What are you doing out here? Kirsten: I'm taking a Newpsie break. Where are you going? Seth: I'm not going anywhere. Kirsten: (Warningly) Seth. Seth: I'm going to juvie to visit Ryan. Kirsten: No, no you are not. No way. Seth: Okay, bye. (Turns to leave) Kirsten: Seth. I know that I am not the perfect Carol Brady mom, but I love you and I am trying to protect you. I have dropped all the charges on him. I have hired somebody to find his mother. What more do you want? Seth: I would like you to go with me. Julie: (opens the door) Kirsten? Oh, there you are. We're talking about the bunting. Is acetate okay? Kirsten: Sounds great. (Julie says okay and goes back inside) Give me fifteen minutes to lose the ladies. ~~~~* Cut to Marissa's bedroom. Marissa is sitting on her bed, dialing a number on the phone, while Summer is trying on clothes in just her bra and shorts. Summer: Can I try this on? Marissa: Hey, Summer, my dad's home, you know. Summer: You say that like it's a bad thing. Marissa: Oh, gross. Summer: Your dad's always home these days. What's up with that? She avoids the question when she hears the answering machine pick up on the other end of the line. Marissa: (into phone) Hey, Luke, it's me. I just...wanted to talk, so call me. Um...please? Summer: Still hasn't called you back? He was in lockup. Maybe he's into dudes now. Marissa laughs. Summer: God, he loves you. He got in a fight and burnt a house down over you. That's hot. What more do you need? Marissa: How about talking to me? Summer: Well, he'll get over it. He can't really think you're into that Chino kid. Marissa sighs and sits back. ~~~~* Cut to Jimmy and Seth walking into a hallway of Jimmy's house. Jimmy: So...how's your mother? Seth: Uh, just...married. Jimmy: (knocks on door) Marissa? You've got company. The door moves open and Seth sees Summer standing there in her bra. Seth: Oh, my god. Jimmy: Sorry. (Walks away) Seth: (grinning widely) Uh...Hi, Summer. Um, um...I'm Seth Cohen. I live...I live right next door. Marissa: (closes the door to block Summer from Seth's view) What's up? Seth: I...what? Yes, what is up. Uh...I'm going to visit Ryan. I thought, you know, maybe you'd like to come. I'm sure he'd love to see you. Marissa: (speaking loudly) Uh, what's that, Seth? Did you say you need a ride to a Star Wars convention? (She walks into the hallway with Seth and closes the door.) Seth: The Star Wars convention? I'm sorry. Her top was off. You couldn't have at least said "X-Men" for me? Marissa: Look, I can't go with you. I can't see Ryan. I mean, Luke's not talking to me as it is. Seth: So what? Ryan's in jail. I thought we were all friends, and... Marissa: It's just...it's too complicated. Seth: To visit him? Marissa: I can't, okay? Seth: Yeah. Fine. Whatever. He walks away and Marissa watches him go. ~~~~* Cut to Seth and Kirsten walking through the jail. Kirsten: Let's just make this quick, okay? Seth just nods. We see Ryan walk into the visiting room and take a seat at one of the tables. Kirsten signs them in and Seth walks into the visiting room. Seth: Hey. What happened to your neck? Ryan: It's...nothing. Seth: You okay? Ryan: Great. Seth: So, I'm sorry the plan didn't work. I thought I had it figured out. Thought you were safe. Guy: Hey, what's the matter, huh? Give me a smile. We see that the guy is the same one that had attcked Ryan and that he is talking to Kirsten. Seth: So, Marissa seemed pretty weird when I tried to talk to her. What happened between you guys? Guy: You got a nice swerve on you, lady. You fine. Ryan: Hey, leave her alone. Kirsten: Ryan, it's okay. Guy: You jokin'. This your little honey? (Gets up and walks over to them) Come here, bitch. I want to get a good look at you. Kirsten: Seth, let's go. Now. Seth: Uh, guard. Guy: I only need, like, two minutes. Ryan: Leave here alone. Kirsten: Seth, now! Guy: What you going to do about it, man? Kirsten: Guards! Ryan jumps out of his chair and slams the guy into the window. Kirsten: Guard! The guy punches Ryan and he falls to the ground. Guy: I'm going to kll you, punk ass. He keeps punching Ryan until the guards pull him away. Guy: You're dad! You hear me? You dad! Another guard pulls Ryan out of the room and Kirsten worriedly watches him leave. ~~~~* Cut to a black car pulling up into the Cohen's driveway. We watch as Sandy walks down the hallway, where we hear a video game being played. Sandy: Seth...what did we say? No video games. He walks into the room and notices both Seth and Ryan are sitting on the floor, playing the game. Sandy: Oh. Cut to Kirsten and Sandy in the kitchen. Sandy: I never knew you to be an impulse shopper. Kirsten: I didn't know what else to do. Sandy: Did you tell him it was permanent? Kirsten: No, of course not. Sandy: 'Cause we can't keep jerking this kid around, pulling him out of Juvie, sending him to foster care, giving him hope, and-and taking it away. Kirsten: They were going to kll him in that place, Sandy. He couldn't stay there. But he can't stay here. We've got to find his mother. Sandy: He doesn't want to find her. Kirsten: He's a kid. He doesn't know what he wants. Ryan: (from behind them) So I guess I won't unpack. Kirsten turns away from him and Ryan looks at them somewhat sadly. ~~~~ Cut to Seth walking around in the kitchen, Batman comic book in hand. Morning. He sits down at the counter as Ryan walks in. Seth: Hey. Ryan: Hey. Seth: Help yourself to a wide assortment of breakfast cereals. Ryan walks over and pours some cereal into a bowl. Seth: So, Ryan, what exactly happened that night with Marissa before Luke showed up? Ryan: She came to see me. Seth: And? Ryan: And I told her to leave. Seth: You asked her to leave? That's it? You two up there all alone and you expect me to believe that. Ryan: I thought I was taking off in the morning. It didn't seem right. Seth: Well, I mean, you're still here. She lives next door. Ryan: I don't know. I said some things. Seth: So now's your chance to take it back. ~~~~* Cut to Julie walking in on Marissa straightening her hair. Julie: Hey, I'm off. They're waiting for me in the ballroom. Those ladies can't do anything unless I'm there. You should come. It'll be fun. Well, not fun, but it's for charity. Marissa: No, thanks. Julie: Marissa, honey, enough moping. It's very sweet that you're so concerned about this boy, but he's in the system now. He's being taken care of. And he's not your responsibility because he's in love with you. Marissa: He's not in love with me. Julie: Why not? He thinks he's too good for you? Marissa: Actually, he thinks I'm too good for him. Julie: Well, he's right, but that's the past, and you need to focus on the future, which means Luke. You've invested so much with Luke, honey. Your relationship has too much potential to be squandered by some silly misunderstanding. So I want you to finish your hair, put on a nice top, and please come join me at the club, hmm? Marissa: Okay. Thanks, mom. Julie: It's what I'm here for. (She smiles and leaves) ~~~~* Cut to Kirsten talking to Rosa. Kirsten: I have to make some calls so if you could finish up in the kitchen that would be terrific. (to Sandy) Where are you going? Sandy: (coming down the stairs) I got an early court date. I'm in and out of the office. Kirsten: I have to set up for Casino Night. What about Ryan? Sandy: I got two calls in to the private investigator about his mother. Kirsten: Yeah, but what am I supposed to do with him? Sandy: Take him with you. Spend some time together. Kirsten: With all those women there? Sandy: Sure, they'll love him. (He leaves) ~~~~* Cut to people setting up a room for the Casino Night. Kirsten: Oh, hi, Julie. Julie: Kirsten. Seth. Kirsten: Julie, this is Ryan. Julie: I'm Julie Cooper. I've heard so much about you. Ryan: Nice to meet you, too. Julie: There he is. She walks over to Luke, who just walked into the door. Luke: Hey, Mrs. Cooper. Kirsten: Thanks for coming. Luke: Yeah, you know, anything I can do to help make amends for what happened. Kirsten: Ryan, I forgot that he was coming. If you want to... Ryan: No, I'm here. How can I help? Julie: Well, now that we have our big strong, strapping men, time for heavy lifting. Cut to Seth blwing up a balloon with helium. Miranda sees Luke and Ryan carrying over a table and walks over to Luke. Marissa: Hey, I was hoping maybe we could talk. Luke: Which one of us did you want to talk to? (He walks away) Marissa: Luke, come on. (After a moment, she too walks away.) Ryan: I'm sorry. I feel like ever since I've gotten here, I screwed everything up. Marissa: No, I'm sorry. It's my fault, too. I mean, I never should have left Luke to see you that night. And those things. And those things you said before... Ryan: I didn't... Marissa: You were right. We're from two different worlds. I'm glad you're okay. She walks away and Seth watches her. He turns to Ryan and soon after, goes back to blwing up balloons. Cut to Luke carrying chairs over to a table. As he sets them down, Ryan approaches him with a big box of cards in his arms. Ryan: Okay, what happened up at that house... Luke: I don't want to hear about it. You and I have nothing to say to each other. I don't know who you are or what you're doing here. All I know is you and me, we're done. Kirsten: Ok, boys. Uh, Ryan, why don't you come with me? New project. Ryan grabs the box and follows her away. Cut to Julie and her friend, Taryn, in a coffee shop. They've gotten their coffees and go to sit at a table. Julie: How dare they? This boy is violent. He's a menace. I mean, they may forgive and forget, but I don't. Who's to say he won't do it again? We see that Sandy is also in the coffee shop, sitting at a table. Taryn: You're right. You are right. Julie: All I know is that the police are taking criminals off the street and Sandy Cohen is putting them in my backyard. Sandy looks up at the mention of his name. Taryn: How does she put up with it? Julie: Who, Kirsten? She's never home. She's always working, building her empire, whatever. Taryn: I feel sorry for her. Dr. Phil did a show on mothers who avoid their home lives by becoming workaholics. It's so sad. Sandy gets up and walks over to their table. Julie: I just hope she has a vault. And she keeps her jewels locked up. She has some very expensive brooches. Sandy: Hey, ladies. Care if I join you? Ooh. (He takes a piece of Julie's muffin and eats it.) Mind? So, I couldn't help but overhear. Julie: I...well, I hope you're not... Sandy: Mad? Offended? No. I am disappointed. And frankly, I'm a little surprised. This is supposed to be a community that welcomes outsiders. I mean, me--I'm all the way from the Bronx, and you're from, what, Riverside, right? Which is not that different really, from where Ryan's from. (Cell phone rings) Excuse me a minute. (He answers it) Hello. Yeah. Dawn, that's her. Uh huh. (He starts writing something on a napkin.) Good job. Okay, bye. (Hangs up the phone) Thanks for the muffin. He leaves and Julie looks anything but happy. Julie: Can I have a napkin...Now? ~~~~* Cut back to Kirsten, who's now talking on the phone. Kirsten: What am I supposed to do with 120,000 pounds of concrete? Get a new mixer. Just call me when you know. (Hangs up) Ryan: What do you do exactly? Real estate or construction? Seth: Dude, don't ask. Kirsten: I tried to explain it to Seth once and he fell asleep half way through. Seth: Okay, but, uh...yeah, that's pretty much true. Ryan: Try me. Seth groans and walks away. Kirsten: My dad is in real estate development. He owns the Newport Group. Ryan: Wow, you guys built the mall, the Pacific Auditorium, baseball stadium, stuff like that. Kirsten: Mm-hmm. And I'm in charge of residential development. Ryan: So, you deal with the contractors, the architects, planning and zoning commission. Kirsten: How did you know? Ryan: I worked construction a couple summers. And I used to want to be an architect. Kirsten: What do you want to be now? Ryan: 17. Kirsten: (laughs) Me too. ~~~~* Cut to Jimmy lying down on the sofa, watching T.V. Julie walks in. Jimmy: Hey, I thought you were setting up at the um... She grabs the remote and turns the T.V. off. Kirsten: You will not believe what Sandy Cohen said to me. He basically called me white trash. He said I was from Riverside. Jimmy: Honey, you are from Riverside. Julie: It was his tone. Compared me to that boy who started the fre. And to bring him to our function--Kirsten is out of control. What, she thinks the rules don't apply to her? Now, I know you were young, but how you ever dated that woman, I will never understand. I have half a mind to call her and tell her... Jimmy: Leave Kirsten alone. She's the one paying our bills. Julie: What are you talking about? Jimmy: You know that...problem I was having at work? Well...she solved it. Julie: You went to Kirsten for a handout? Jimmy, how do you think this makes us look? Jimmy: I really wouldn't call it a handout. Julie: Oh, really? What would you call it? Jimmy: (sighs) A hundred thousand dollars. He walks away and she stares at him, shocked ~~~~ Cut to a laundromat. A woman is having trouble with a machine, so she walks over to a blonde lady. Woman: That machine ate my change. Dawn: Okay, okay. That one's always broken. Here you go. Try the next one over. Dawn walks over to another machine as Sandy walks into the laundromat. Sandy: Dawn Atwood? Sandy Cohen, Ryan's attorney. I'd love to talk to you. Dawn: Can't talk. Stupid thing's stuck. Sandy: It'll only take a couple of minutes. Dawn: Damnit! She dropped the box of quarters she had and goes to the ground to pick them up. Dawn: How is he? Sandy: Why don't we grab a cup of coffee and talk about it. ~~~~* Cut to the car driving up the driveway. Kirsten, Seth, and Ryan walk into the house. Kirsten: There are some great historical homes in the area and we can always go on an architectural tour. Seth: Yeah, those things are awesome. Ryan: Yeah, I'd like that. They start walking when Ryan notices Sandy and Dawn talking in the living room. She stands up. Dawn: Hey, Ry. ~~~~* Cut to everyone sitting at the dinner table. Rosa goes around serving the food. Kirsten: Thank you, Rosa. Dawn: Um...thanks. Sandy: No, thank you, Rosa. Everyone is quiet. Sandy: So, Dawn, how long you been working at the laundromat? Dawn: Uh, not long. Just a couple of weeks. Ryan: What happened to the restaurant? Dawn: Um...they were making cutbacks. Ryan: You got fired. Dawn: Well, it was for the best. They had rats, cockroaches. Disgusting. Seth goes to take a bite of food, but puts it back down. Ryan: You seen Trey? Dawn: Uh, went to visit him at the prison. He wouldn't see me. Kirsten: Where are you living these days? Dawn: With friends. I'm between places right now. Kirsten: Why don't you stay here tonight? Ryan: What about A.J.? Dawn: No. I broke up with him. We're through. No more. I put up with too much. He laid his hands on me and Ryan too many times. Ryan: Mom? Dawn: What? I'm just saying...he was a bad influence, you know...with his drinking and... Ryan: 'Cause A.J. was the problem? Dawn: Hey, I haven't touched a drop since I dumped his sorry ass last week. The scum he used to bring into the house, and his whole coke thing. Ryan angrily gets up from the table and starts to leave. Dawn: Where are you going? Ryan: It was bad enough living through it the first time. Dawn: Ryan, wait, sweetie. I...sorry. She gets up also and goes after him. Cut to Ryan and Dawn in the living room area. Dawn: Will you at least talk to me? Ryan: What are you even doing here? Dawn: I came...for you. Ryan: Why? What do you want from me? You left a note. A note. Dawn: Okay, let me explain... Ryan: You abandoned me. You threw me out. You just took off. Dawn: I know, honey. I was...and A.J., and...the drinking, and...It's going to be different now. Ryan: That's what you said when we moved from Fresno after dad got arrested. Dawn: I'm going to be different now. We have a chance to start over, babe. I mean, we've never had people like them, you know, who wanted to help us. Ryan: Right. So, someone offers you a nice place to stay, and suddenly, you're all about the mom thing? (He walks over to the window sadly) Dawn: I didn't know what I was doing when I married your dad. I was to young when I had your brother. But with you... You were always the smart one. You know? The good one. When you got arrested...I knew I'd failed, and...you were my last hope. I should go. Ryan: Wait. She walks towards him, but he steps away. Dawn: You ever going to forgive me, Kiddo? Ryan: Let's just go slow, okay? Dawn: (She smiles.) Okay. Whatever you want. I'm not going to lose you again. ~~~~* Cut to outside where Kirsten is sitting at a table and Seth is cleaning out the pool. Day. Seth: So, where'd they go, anyways? Kirsten: I don't know. Out. Seth: All right. So, we'll just wait for Happy Hour to end, and... Kirsten: Seth, we need to be supportive. She seems like she's trying. Seth: Yeah, but how do you know? I mean, this woman abandoned him, and now all she has to do is show up? Mom, she should be the one that's on probation, not Ryan. Kirsten: What do you want me to do? Invite her to stay so we can keep an eye on her? Seth: Yes, that is exactly what I want you to do. We hear laughing and Ryan and Dawn show up behind them. Dawn: (sighs) What a beautiful walk. The water's so warm. Not that Ryan would know. You used to love going in the water. Ryan: Not with all my clothes on. Dawn: Ah. I'm an embarrassment to my son. Kirsten: Welcome to my world. Dawn: Well...we should probably head out soon. Kirsten: Actually, I was thinking. Uh...you just got here, you have nowhere to stay, and we're all just getting to know each other. Seth: We're having a party tonight. Kirsten: Right. Dawn: Not for me. Thanks, though. Kirsten: Vegas Night. Dawn: Vegas, huh? Well, it's very kind of you to offer, but no. I don't have anything to wear. Kirsten: (getting up) Oh, we'll find something. She walks off and Dawn looks to Ryan, who just shrugs. ~~~~* Cut to Ryan doing the dishes. Sandy walks in. Sandy: Hey! Kirsten does the same thing--washes the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. I never know whether they're clean or dirty. Ryan: We never had a dishwasher. Sandy: So, how's everything going? Ryan: Okay, I guess. We had a good day. Sandy: You know, you being with your mother doesn't mean we're not going to still see each other. Ryan: She really likes it here. She talked about finding someplace nearby...in the numbered streets. Kirsten and Dawn walk up, Dawn wearing a black dress. Dawn: So...how do I look? Ryan smiles at her and she smiles back. ~~~~* Cut to Vegas Night. Sandy signs them in and he walks over to Kirsten, escorting her inside. Dawn and Ryan follow. Dawn: All their parties like this? Ryan: Pretty much. Dawn: Well... Let's clean 'em out, kid. Julie: Kirsten! Another perfect event. Sandy: (to Jimmy) So, business is good? Jimmy: Yeah, it's good. It's good. Kirsten: (to Julie) I love your dress. Julie: You do? It's yours. Kirsten: Um...hi. Jimmy hugs her. Sandy: Would you like a drink? Kirsten: I'd love one. Sandy and Kirsten walk away and Taryn walks over to them. Taryn: It's all fabulous, just fabulous! Kirsten: Oh, thank you. Julie: (to Jimmy) How much did you get for the hug? ~~~~* Cut to Ryan and Dawn at a blackjack table. She puts down two stacks of chips. Ryan: Betting kind of big, mom? Dawn: Well, it's for charity. Besides, the count's way positive. Ryan: You're counting? It's not a single deck. Dawn: Oh honey, if I teach you anything in this world...the count goes way higher with multiple decks. Dealer: Blackjack Dawn: Whoo! See, honey? My luck's turning around already. She wins again. Dawn: Yes! (Laughing) That's beautiful. I told you we could do it. I told you, too. Kirsten notices them laughing together and she smiles. Dawn: (stops waitress) Excuse me. Uh...Tonic water and lime, please. She grabs the chips and hands them to Ryan. Dawn: My boy. Lucky for him, he's got my brains. Marissa and Ryan look at each other, and Dawn notices this. Dawn: Go! Have fun...with your friend. I'll be fine. You don't have to baby-sit me. He pats her lightly on the shoulder and leaves. We pan down to her hand to see it shaking. ~~~~* Cut to Ryan walking over to Marissa. Ryan: Hey Marissa: Hi. So, is that your mom? Ryan: Yeah. Marissa: She came back, so I guess that means you're going home. Ryan: Yeah, I guess. Marissa: Well, good luck with everything. Ryan: You too. Have a nice life. They look over to see Luke staring at them angrily. Ryan: You should go. She leaves. ~~~~* Cut to Seth walking. A pair of red dice falls to the ground and he bends down to pick them up. When he looks back up, Summer is standing there, looking at him. Seth: Hi, Summer. Seth Cohen. Summer: I'm superstitious. Blow on these. Seth: What? Summer: (holds out dice in her hand) Blow. He blows on them and she throws them onto the table. She wins. Summer: My god! (Grabs dice) Do it again. He blows on them and she wins again.

He blows on them again and she throws them. ~~~~* Cut to Luke playing a slot machine. Marissa walks up. Marissa: You can't just not talk to me. Luke: Watch me. He walks away and she walks after him. Marissa: It's not like you're totally innocent in all this. I mean, you didn't have to attck him. Luke: What was I supposed to do? You left me to go up there for him. Marissa: It's not like that. It was a mistake. Luke: Hell, yeah. He walks away. Ryan looks at Marissa and she turns away. ~~~~ Cut to Julie walking up to Sandy. Julie: Hi, Sandy. Sandy: Hey, Julie. Julie: I came to apologize and say thank you. The check that you guys gave Jimmy. You never know who your friends are until you're in need. And we needed that hundred grand.

Dawn: Sure Once they're gone, Dawn picks up the glass and finishes the drink. ~~~~* Cut to Jimmy sitting at a table. Julie walks up. Julie: You want to hear something so funny? Jimmy: Always.

Julie: Who needs chips? You've got Kirsten. Jimmy: What'd you say to him? Julie: You don't even care how this makes me feel--that you went to her. Jimmy: I didn't have any choice. You didn't want to talk about it. I was trying to save us. Our family was in trouble. Julie: Looks like we're not the only ones. Cut to Sandy and Kirsten, talking. Sandy: A hundred thousand dollars? It's more than I make in a year. She walks away so that they're both outside. Kirsten: It's just a loan. Of my money. Sandy: It's not the money. It's that you never told me. Kirsten: I know. I don't know why. Sandy: I've got a couple of ideas. Let me take you on a little journey through my neuroses for the past hour or so. Kirsten: Sandy, I promise, it was just a loan. There's nothing more to it. He was in trouble. There was no one else he could tell. Sandy: So what's your excuse? Jimmy: (opens the door and walks over to them) Sandy, uh, I don't know what Julie said to you. Sandy: I'm trying to have a private conversation with my wife. ~~~~* Cut to Ryan standing by the bar. Seth walks up and slams his money down. Seth: Two Mountain Dews, my good man. Thank you, Ryan. Greatest night ever. It's like one of those nights when the stars and the cosmos and the moons align, and it's just like, wow. Thank you. How's your mom doing? Ryan: High rolling. She was made for this place. Seth: Yeah? Then maybe this could work. Ryan: Yeah? Maybe. Summer: Rabbit's foot. Vamos nos. Seth: By the end of the night, she might know my first name. Duty calls. Summer scoffs and walks away, Seth walking after her. ~~~~* Cut back to outside. Jimmy: Look, I'm sorry. We hear Dawn laughing from inside and se wobbles a bit, steadying herself with the table.

Uh, Ryan, I must've tripped. It's these damn shoes. Oops. Hello. She starts giggling as everyone stares at her. Seth: (to Summer) Here. Good luck. (He walks away to help.)

Ryan sits next to him, looking at him sadly. scene 33: Dawn goes discreetly without making any noise, Kirsten surprises her. DAWN Caught in the act. Kirsten: You can't do this. You are his mother. DAWN I'm a wreck, not his mother. Kirsten: you have a responsibility DAWN I'm responsible here. I am not made for this. I can't take care of someone else. I don't have what you have. The way your husband looks at you. And that your child is looking at you, even mine ... As if you were going to fix everything, no matter what. You keep your family together. Me, I tear mine. Kirsten: you can't run away. DAWN Why? It would be the first good thing I would do for him. Like this ... He will have a real mother. Take care of him, okay? He deserves it. Thank you. scene 34: Ryan is with Sandy and Kirsten, Seth arrives. Seth: Hey kirsten: kirsten Seth: Where's uh ...? Kirsten: Ryan is going to stay with us now Sandy: That's great!

Seth: So she said "blow on it", so obviously she meant on ...	{"type": "series", "show": "The O.C.", "episode": "01x03 - Viva Las Vegas"}	foreverdreaming
Scenes from the last episode. TEASER Seth and Ryan are sitting on the couch playing some video game. Seth: (while absorbed with the game) Oh. Oh. (chuckles) Oh really? You think so? Ryan: I do. Seth: Well, we'll see about that, Monkey Pox. On the TV: Player 1 wins. Seth sighs dramatically as Ryan looks at him smugly. Seth: So the pupil has become the teacher. Kirsten and Sandy walk in together. They are both dressed very nicely. Sandy: Hey guys! Ryan : Hey. Seth: (unenthusiastically) Who died? Kirsten: Seth, we need to talk to Ryan. Seth and Ryan look a little guilty. Seth: Okay. If this has to do with the rug though, I just want to tell you that Ryan had nothing to do with it. Kirsten: (looking down at the rug) What about the rug? Seth: I'm gonna go now. (leaves the room quickly as Kirsten is still looking at the rug) Sandy sits down on a chair, while Kirsten stands next to him. Ryan puts down the controller that he's still holding. Sandy: So, Kirsten and I went to child services this morning. And we told them that, uh, that we want you to stay with us. (Ryan looks very hopeful) But there's a catch. Because you're a minor, the only way they'll allow that to happen is if we assume all legal responsibility for you. Ryan: I can't ask you guys to do that. Sandy: Well, you don't have to. We're asking you. Kirsten: We've all talked about it. And we want to be your legal guardians. We want you to be part of the family. If you want to be... Ryan: (looking a little uncertain) What if it doesn't work? Pause. Kirsten: Well, how do you mean? Ryan: Well... what if something happens and... and you guys change your mind. Sandy: Like what? You steal a car? You burn down a house? You bat up the captain of the water polo team? (both Sandy and Kirsten smile) Those ships have sailed, my friend. Kirsten: You just have to promise us you'll stay out of trouble. From now on... no more fights. Sandy: You're still on probation. And child services will be up our ass all the time. Ryan: (looking very grateful) No more trouble. I promise. Kirsten and Sandy smile at each other. Sandy: Well. (Ryan and Sandy stand up; Sandy extends his hand out to Ryan) Welcome to the family. Ryan and Sandy shake hands. Ryan: Thanks, guys Kirsten hugs him a little awkwardly, but with a big smile. Ryan looks as though he's about to cry. Kirsten: (loudly) Okay, Seth. You can come out now. (laughs) Seth pops his head around the corner with a huge grin on his face. Ryan: You knew about this and didn't say anything. Seth: (shrugging) I didn't want to jinx it. Ryan nods a little. They do one of those 'cool' handshakes. Seth: Dude. You're a Cohen now. Welcome to a life of insecurity and... paralysing self-doubt. Ryan: Yeah. (takes a deep breath) Now, all I have to do is... stay out of trouble. Seth: (nodding) Yeah, that could be... difficult. [Opening credits] SCENE 1 Kirsten, Seth and Ryan walk into the pool house. Kirsten is carrying a brown paper bag. Kirsten: You're going to need bedding. And towels. Oh, how's the bed, Ryan? Is it comfortable? Seth jumps on the bed and bounces up and down on it. Ryan: Yeah, it's - Huh. It's fine. It's great. Kirsten: (looking a little uncomfortable) We really want you to have your privacy, but this is a pool house - it needs a little warmth. You're going to need chairs, and a desk and a... bookshelf. Seth: Plasma flat screen, a couple of turntables, minibar - Kirsten: (gesturing at a linen shelf) And we should clean all this out, so that you have room for some of your... Right, you don't have any stuff. Which means we have to go shopping for clothes and shoes and underpants... Seth: Mom! Don't say underpants. Ryan: I've got everything I need. Really. Kirsten: I bet you don't have a tux. Cause you're going to need one. Ryan: For what? Kirsten: For cotillion. Cut to the front of the club. Kirsten, Ryan and Seth are stepping out of a black SUV. Kirsten: It's the annual debutant ball. It's Newport's biggest event. Seth: Until whatever's next week. Kirsten: It's the day when Newport's most accomplished young women make their formal debut into society. Seth: Or another excuse for them to get wasted and throw up on themselves. Kirsten: Hey. I was a deb. I made my debut at this very country club not so many years ago. Seth: The year was - Kirsten: Hey! They enter the club. Ryan: You know what. Maybe I should skip it. Kirsten: You have to go. It's a family tradition and you're part of the family. Peggy: Hello! Kirsten and Peggy do that kissing the air thing. Kirsten: Hi, Peggy. Mwah. How are you? Peggy: I'm good. Kirsten: And how's it going? Peggy: It'll be fine. Oh, the fitting area's back there. (she points 'back there') Kirsten: Thank you. Come on, boys. It'll be fun. They walk towards 'back there.' Seth makes a 'riiiight' face, while Ryan just looks apprehensive. SCENE 2 The Cohen house. Sandy's black SUV is pulling into the driveway, his surfboard sticking out the back. Sandy gets out of the car, throws his bag on the front steps, then goes to back and removes his swim gear. Jimmy: Sandy! Sandy: Hey, Jimmy. Jimmy walks up as Sandy is removing his board. Jimmy: Got some surfing in, huh? Sandy: Yep. Late court date. Gotta take advantage. Jimmy: Nice to have hobbies. Look, uh... I know you're not thrilled with me. When I borrowed the money from Kirsten, I... should have... asked you. I wasn't - I wasn't going behind your back. Sandy: Look, it's done. Let's move on. Jimmy: I was, uh... I was afraid of what you'd think of me. (pause) Losing this much money as I have is, uh... not an impressive accomplishment. (looks very uncomfortable) Sandy: How much money did you lose? Jimmy: Ah. (waves it away) It's not important. Sandy: (nods. Then shakes his head) How'd you lose it? Jimmy: Look. The important thing is - is I don't know what Julie and I would do without friends like you and Kirsten. They shake hands. Sandy: So everything's okay? Jimmy: Oh yeah. Yeah. Thank you. (moves to leave) Sandy: I'll see you around. Jimmy: See ya! Sandy looks a little unconvinced. SCENE 3 At the country club, in the back where they are doing fittings. Ryan is being dragged along by a guy with a measuring tape around his neck. Guy: (pointing at a rack of suits) Okay. Pick whatever you want. We've got Gucci, Armani. (points somewhere else) Versace's over there. Ryan looks out of his element. He fingers the suits, walks forward then stops short when he sees Marissa. She's passing a piece of paper to a woman. Marissa: Hi. Uhm. I'm picking up for Marissa Cooper? Ryan: Hey. Marissa: (turns and sees him) Hey. What are you* doing here? Ryan: I, uh. (gestures at guy with measuring tape) I had an appointment with my personal shopper. Marissa: But I thought you said you were leaving. With your mom. Ryan: It didn't really work out. So, I'm kind of living with the Cohens. Marissa: For good? Ryan: Is that... going to be a problem? Marissa: No. No! It's great. I mean, I guess now we can be friends, right? Ryan looks uncomfortable. Marissa looks uncomfortable. Summer: (walks up) Hey, Coop! (removing gloves) Oh, these gloves are giving me serious sausage arms. Summer and Marissa laugh. Luke is with her and walks up to put his arm around Marissa's shoulder, eyeing Ryan suspiciously. Luke: (to Ryan) What are you still doing here? I thought you were going back to Chino? Ryan: I had a change of plans. Marissa: Ryan is living here now. Luke: He's WHAT? Ryan: Look. I'm not here to cause problems. Kirsten: (walking up, looking concerned) Is everything all right? Marissa and Luke smile at Kirsten a little uncomfortably. Luke: (to Marissa) I'll be in the truck. (starts leaving but not before sending Ryan one last 'look') Marissa: Great. Kirsten: Marissa. I was going to call you. Since you're lead deb, I - (turns behind) Seth! - I wanted to introduce you to a couple of white knights. In case any of your girls need a last minute escort. Summer: (licentiously) Every girl needs a white knight. Ryan looks scared. Seth: (sidling up) Seth Cohen, white knight. Summer: (glances at Seth then focuses her attention on Ryan) So, uh, you'll be at the rehearsal. Seth: (nods enthusiastically at Summer then Ryan) Yes. Absolutely. Summer: (to Ryan) See you then. (drags Marissa away) Marissa: Bye. Seth: Cotillion ROCKS! Ryan doesn't exactly look like he agrees. In a fitting room. Marissa is sitting down on a chair while Summer is facing a mirror on the wall. Marissa: You want me to fix you up with RYAN? I mean I thought you said he was a 'total psycho.' (she supplies the finger quotes) Summer: (holding up a dress to herself) Well, that was before I got to know him. Marissa: Wait. When did you get to know him. Summer: Just now. Plus I'm into that whole brooding bad boy thing. He's wounded - I can save him. Marissa: I mean have you really talked to him, though? Cause he's not really a bad boy. Summer: Well, he will be by the time I get through with him. (exchanges the dress she's holding for the one on Marissa's lap) Marissa laughs weakly. Summer: What? You're not like... into him are you? I mean, you're with Luke, right? Marissa: (a little too quickly) Right. Summer: Good. SCENE 4 At Sandy's office. Sandy is sitting at his desk. Steve: Sandy Cohen? Steve Pearlman from episode 101 enters the room. Steve: I'm with the Securities and Exchange Commission Enforcement Division? Sandy: (stands up) Okay. Steve: (doesn't quite close the door, but shuts it a little) I was hoping you could help me out with a case that I'm investigating. Sandy: Sure. What can I do for you? Steve: Were you aware, Mr Cohen, that a cheque your wife made out to a James Cooper for one hundred thousand dollars was not treated as an investment but a direct deposit into his personal account? Sandy: It wasn't an investment. It was a loan. My wife and Jimmy are old... (pauses) What's this about? Steve: Do you know that Mr Cooper is currently the subject of an SEC fraud investigation? Sandy: (softly) No. (things clicking in his brain) No, I didn't. SCENE 5 At the Cohen house. Kirsten is walking into the house with Ryan and Seth behind her. They are all carrying bags. Seth: Hey. White gloves (to Ryan) are ready for a comeback. Kirsten: (walking into the kitchen, she sees Sandy pouring two glasses of red wine) Hey! What are you doing home? Sandy: Fellas, do you mind? Seth: Oh. Uh. If this is about the vase - Sandy: Which vase? Seth: Hm. (shakes his head) Nothing. Uh, let's go, Ryan. (jerks his head at Ryan) Come on, buddy. Seth and Ryan leave the room. Kirsten: (walks up to Sandy, leans against the kitchen counter) What's going on? Sandy sets down one of the glasses in front of her. At the pool house, Seth is messing with his suit. Ryan walks in and dumps his suit on the bed. Ryan: Okay. So... I think I'm not going to Cotillion. Seth: (sitting on a chair reading a comic book) Yeah, okay. Except that you are. Ryan: I made a promise to your parents that I'd stay out of trouble. Seth: Yeah, it's a debutant ball. What kind of trouble can you get into? Ryan: I don't know. Why don't you ask Luke? Seth: (sets down his comic book on his lap) Ryan. We're white knights, okay. That means Marissa probably already has some sad, lonely girl all lined up for you to escort, so you can't just call and cancel at the last minute. That's a faux pas, buddy. Ryan sits down on the bed, looking not too happy. Ryan: Would you call her? Seth: (looking up from his comics) No. (closes the comic again) If you're going to bail on Marissa and some like poor, pathetic dateless girl, you're just going to have to do that one yourself. In the kitchen. Kirsten: (looking upset) Are you sure? Sandy: Well, according to these guys, Jimmy's been siphoning money out of his clients' accounts to cover his own debts. Kirsten: (sits down on a chair, looks disbelieving) How could we not know something like this? Sandy: Because. We trusted the guy. Everybody did. This entire community wrote him blank cheques and never asked any questions. You gave him a hundred grand! Kirsten: It was just a loan. Sandy: WHICH according to the SEC makes us worth investigating too. Kirsten: (looking very upset, rests her forehead on her clasped hands) I'm going to be sick. Sandy: (picks up the cordless and turns it on) I'm going to have to call our friends and let 'em know. Kirsten looks up immediately. Kirsten: Sandy, wait. You're just going to panic people. Sandy scoffs. Kirsten: Don't... do anything until I talk to him, okay? Sandy: Put your personal feelings for this guy aside. Forget about your history - Kirsten: He's one of my oldest friends. If it's true, I just need to hear it from him. Sandy turns off the cordless. SCENE 6 At the Cooper house. Ryan is standing at the front door. Marissa: I'm coming! She opens the door wearing a white dress. Marissa: Hey! Ryan is stunned speechless by how good she looks. Marissa: You're, uhm, at my house. (she grabs her top, it looks like it's loose) Ryan: I, uh, well, I wanted to talk to you about Cotillion. Marissa: Oh. Okay. Well, uhm, (tries looking at her own back) I was just trying this on and I can't seem to reach the- Ryan: Did you want me to, uhm - I could. Do you want me to, uh - Marissa: Yeah, you know, actually. (turns her back to him) If you wouldn't mind. He stares at her back for a good, long moment. She's wearing a bareback dress that has three horizontal straps holding the top together. The top strap is undone. He looks really uncomfortable and nervous as he attaches the strap. Marissa: (turning back) Thanks. So, what's up with Cotillion? Ryan: What time did you want me there? She's smiling. He looks shell-shocked. SCENE 7 At the Cooper house. Inside Jimmy's study, he and Kirsten are talking. Jimmy: I'm, I'm so sorry. I never meant for you to be dragged in like this. Kirsten: How did this happen? I mean I understand a couple of bad investments, but theft - Jimmy: (laughing) Theft? No, no, no! Julie: Okay, honey. So we're going get - (stops short as she enters the room and sees Kirsten) Oh, Kirsten. Kirsten: Julie. Julie: Jimmy didn't tell me you were coming by. Jimmy: She just stopped by to ask a quick... business question. Julie: A quickie, huh? Jimmy: (unimpressed) Julie. Julie: I'm kidding! So, we're off. Kaitlin needs new shoes for Cotillion. Then we're test-driving the CLK. And then I have to re-up Marissa's tennis lessons at the club, so which credit card should I use? Jimmy: (looking harassed) Uh, the Mastercard. Julie: What about the Amex? Kirsten is watching this exchange with great interest. Jimmy: Uh, no, don't use the Amex. We, uh, get the miles. Julie: (softly) Okay. (leans forward to give Jimmy a quick kiss on the cheek, then turns to leave) You two have fun. Jimmy: (when Julie's gone) Well, now that the how and why have been accounted for. Look. I - I was not... stealing, I was - I was borrowing to pay back my debts and then the market took a turn and you know, I, uh - there we are. Kirsten: You were stealing. Jimmy: I - I can't say no... to my family. I'll pay everything back. I just need that one stock. That one stock - Kirsten: Jimmy, you need help. Jimmy: (scoffs and looks defeated) Yeah, well, who's going to help me. (get up and turns away) SCENE 8 At the club. Ryan and Seth are walking together. Ryan: So, uh, what exactly happens at this rehearsal? Seth: Just, uh, stupid Cotillion stuff. Bowing, Curtsying... They walk into a hall where people are dancing. Ryan grabs Seth's arm. Peggy (from Scene 1) is counting and dancing around a little while some young couples dance together stiffly. Peggy: One two three. One two three. Try to enjoy this please. One two (continues in background) Ryan: Dancing? You didn't tell me there was dancing. Seth: Well, if I told you there's dancing, I would be here by myself right now. Ryan: Because I really... don't... dance. Seth: Uh huh. Nether do I. I just move well. (does a really weird dance, then whispers) I'll teach you that one. Huh? Maybe later. You ready? Ryan gives Seth a 'you're weird' look. Marissa: (talking to some couple, holding a clipboard) Take your places. (walking over to where Seth and Ryan are sitting) Hey guys. So, can I introduce you to your debs? Summer: (sidling up to Ryan from behind) We've... already met. Marissa: Oh well, actually, Summer, Ryan's already been promised to someone else. Summer: I can't believe this! You gave him to someone else? Who? Who's pathetic enough not to have a date the day before Cotillion? Anna: (coming up from behind Marissa) Actually, at this point, that would be you. Marissa: So, Anna Stern. This is Ryan Atwood. Guys, Anna just moved here from Pittsburgh. Summer: Pittsburgh? Ew. Anna: (looking a little uncomfortable) Can we just get this over with? Marissa looks proud of herself. Seth: (to Ryan) Caliente. Ryan gets up and walks next to Marissa. Marissa: Hey, it's not that bad. Ryan: You haven't seen me dance. (grimaces) Marissa: Well, I can help you. Ryan and Marissa head over to where Anna is (at the other end of the dance floor) Summer: (shouting after Marissa) So, like, what am I supposed to do? Seth: (coughs) Over here. Summer rolls her eyes. Seth starts whistling and swinging his legs. Summer: Fine! Let's go. Seth: (very excited) Are you sure? Because if, if, if you're not totally sure Summer: Just! Don't. Talk to me. Seth: All right. I get it. Our - Our connection is a little bit deeper than words. Summer looks nauseated. Seth: That's it. I'm done. I'm sorry. A chockfull of quiet now. (offers his arms out to her meekly) Marissa is with Ryan and Anna. Marissa: Okay. So you guys will be over here. (nudges Ryan onto the dance floor next to Anna) If you wanna go ahead and get into waltz position. (Anna and Ryan look completely lost) Which means Anna, you put your left hand on Ryan's shoulder. Anna places her palm on Ryan's shoulder. Marissa: Uhm. No. Not like that. (nudges Anna aside and stands in front of Ryan) Here. Watch. (places her hand correct) Okay? Now, Ryan, you put your right hand on my back. Ryan places his hand on her shoulder blade. Marissa: (laughs) Lower. He slides his hand down to her waist and they have a long moment. Marissa: (looking suddenly uncomfortable) Okay. Good. Good. Luke walks up with a guy and Holly. Luke: I'd be pretty jealous right now. (Ryan and Marissa are still in position, but turn to look at him) If Chino wasn't gay. The guy with Luke laughs. Marissa breaks out of Ryan's arms and gives Luke a look. Luke: What? No. It doesn't bother me. I mean he's born that way right. Ryan: (softly to Marissa, without looking at Luke) Thanks. I can take it from here. Marissa: Okay. (gestures for Anna to return) Ryan watches Marissa walk away. Anna: (whistles lowly) You're into her, huh? (Ryan looks down at her) Man, are you in trouble. Ryan: (with resignation) I know. Anna: Yeah. (lifts her arms) Come on. Luke and Marissa are standing together. Luke is putting on his jacket. Marissa helps him adjust his collar. Peggy: All right, darlings. Listen up. Let's review the classic waltz step. (gestures to a good looking young man) Phillip? (they start waltzing) Aaaaand One two three. One two three. One two three. One two three. Smile please. Seth and Summer are dancing stiffly. Luke and Marissa are dancing quite comfortably. Luke: (to Marissa) That kid is stalking you. Marissa: He is not! He's my neighbour. And he's not going anywhere, so you're just going to have to get used to him. Luke: What I'm never going to get used to is that kid macking on you every time I turn my back. Marissa: So, you don't trust me? They stop dancing. Luke: No. I... I don't trust anybody else. Not around you. They kiss very chastely. Ryan is watching them out of the corner of his eye. Anna is eyeing Ryan, then narrows her eyes. Anna: Wait. Are you the kid from Chino who steals cars and sets people's houses on fre? They stop dancing. Anna: So, you're saying, I'm making my debut into society with Newport's most wanted? Ryan: Is that going to be a problem? Anna: (smiles) I can't wait. Ryan shrugs and then resume dancing. SCENE 9 At Sandy's office. Kirsten and Sandy are talking, a table between them. Sandy is flipping through some files. Sandy: Absolutely NOT! As happy as I am that you came ALL the way out to my office to visit me. (walks around the table and gives Kirsten a kiss on the cheek) The answer is no. (calls out the door) Corey! I need that file on Nerodner vs. Caplin. And I, I do need that INS report on my four-thirty. (walks back to the other side of the table. Then to Kirsten) I got a two time drug offender they wanna deport. Fifteen years old. Kirsten: Sandy. He needs help. Sandy: Jimmy Cooper? He stole from his clients. He stole from his friends. And then he had the nerve to borrow a hundred thousand dollars from us to cover it up. Kirsten: He was trying to provide for his family! Sandy: Yeah. Boats. Ponies. Kirsten: So, you'll defend a two-time drug offender, but you won't defend - Sandy: Yes! My clients are kids. Who have no hope! No guidance. Nothing. (Kirsten turns her back to him) Jimmy Cooper is just another spoiled Newport brat (she turns back at this) who had everything handed to him. Kirsten: Like me? Sandy: No. Not like you! You* would never lie. You would never steal. Kirsten: I would like to think that. But the truth is - there isn't anything I wouldn't do for my family. (picks up her bag) See you at home. SCENE 10 At the club. Seth and Ryan are walking out of the dance hall. Ryan: (sounding exhausted) Three hours of dancing. Seth: (happily) I feel like I could go for three more. Marissa: (coming out of the hall) Ryan! So, Anna seemed nice. I mean, I just figured - she's new and you're new, so... Ryan: Yeah. Marissa: Great. Good. Holly comes up to them and hugs Marissa. Holly: Hey, Rissa! Marissa: Hey, Hol. I was just going to tell them about the cookout tonight. Holly: Yeah. It's at my house. I do it every year for Cotillion. Seth: You didn't do it last year. Holly: Yeah, we did. Seth: (dawning upon him) Ouch. Holly: (to Marissa) See you tonight. (walks away) Seth: See you there! Ryan: Uhm. You really think that's such a good idea. (looking at Luke who's talking to the guy from before) Marissa: Yeah. I do. I mean you're living here now and there's no reason we can't all hang out, right? (starts backing away, then turns and leaves) Seth: (staring at Ryan) I can think of a reason. Ryan: Yeah. I'm not going. Seth: Wait. Dude, I don't want to go alone. Ryan: Summer's going to be there. Seth: Yeah. I'm still going, I'd just prefer not to go alone. Listen to me. We're like brothers now. (Ryan crosses his arms and listens intently) Okay? That means we do stuff for each other. For instance, if you do this for me, somewhere down the line, I'm going to be able to do something for you. I don't know what it's going to be yet, but it's going to be awesome! (Ryan looks unconvinced) Please? SCENE 11 Holly and her dad, Greg, are at a restaurant. They're picking up many bags of food. Greg: Here we are. Thank you very much. Okay. (gives Holly some bags) Here we go, sweetheart. You got that? Check, make sure we got everything. As they are walking out, Jimmy walks in. Greg: Hey! Jimmy Cooper! They shake hands. Jimmy: Hey. Greg: Just the man I wanted to see. Jimmy: Hey, Greg. Hey, Holly. Holly: Hey, Mr Cooper. Jimmy: (looking at bags) Somebody's having a party. Greg: (looking proudly at Holly) Yeah. Holly's hosting this thing for the debs out at the beach house. Jimmy: That's right. Marissa's going. Have a good time. (walks away to the pick up station of the restaurant) Greg: (gives Holly all the bags and his car keys) Honey. Take these out to the car, I'll be right there, okay? Holly: Okay. Jimmy: Hi. I'm picking up for, uh, Cooper. Greg is walking up to Jimmy. Greg: Listen, Jimmy. Uh, I haven't heard back from you. Did you get my messages? Jimmy: Oh yeah, I'm sorry. You know, work is - has been so crazy. But what's going on? Greg: Well, I've been asked to invest in this commercial real estate property. It could be a nice second income for us. Might end up our only income the way the pharmaceutical industry's going. Jimmy: That sounds - That sounds promising. Greg: Yeah. So, uhm, we're going to have to pull two hundred and fifty thousand dollars out of the investment account. Jimmy: (looks flustered) Well, I... Are you sure you want to do that? I mean, uh, with the market about to turn around. Waitress: Sir. I'm sorry, but your credit card's been declined. Jimmy: Huh. Uh. Greg is watching this with interest. Jimmy: Oh. Oh, it's a new care. You know, I forgot to activate it. Waitress: Did you want to use another card? Uh - Holly: (walking back in) Dad! I'm going to be late to my own party! Greg: Okay, honey. (then to Jimmy) Uhm, listen. I'll call you tomorrow about the details, all right? Just bring the cheque to the, uh, the Cotillion. (starts walking away) Enjoy your meal. Greg and Holly leave. Jimmy: (to waitress) Uhm. I'll just pay it with - I'll just pay it with cash. SCENE 12 Holly's beach house. The party is in full swing. Ryan and Seth walk in. Seth: Give me ten minutes to find Summer. Lock it down for tomorrow. See where the night takes me. Ryan: It'd better take you right back here in ten minutes. Seth: (walking away) Okay. Don't wait up. Summer and Holly are standing over the barbeque. Summer: Come on, Hol. I'll trade you two tickets to Jack Johnson, a massage at Burke-Williams and all the money I have on me (digs in her purse) which is... eleven dollars. Holly: Mmm. Sorry, Summer. I don't want to trade escorts. Seth: (walking up to them) Hey, Summer. Holly. Summer: What did I say about talking to me? Seth: Okay. I just - God - I just wanted to make sure that we're still on for tomorrow night. Summer: (in a pissy voice) I guess. Seth: (frustrated) Could you even pretend to be a little bit stoked? Summer glares at him. Seth: Fair enough. (to Holly) Wow, you're a really good... barbeque-sionist. Inside, Ryan is alone. He finds a couch and sits down. Luke and the guy from before are standing at the kitchen counter. They slap some pesto/dip on a chip and Luke tries to feed it to the guy, but the guy bats his hand away and the pesto/dip falls onto the floor. Marissa is watching this, unimpressed. She's sitting on a counter nearby. Scanning the crowd, she sees Ryan and Ryan sees her. She motions for him to come over to her. He shakes his head, so she walks over instead. He gets up and meets her halfway. Ryan: So, you sure you want to be seen with me? Marissa: Hey. I'm glad you came. I mean how could you possibly miss all this? Ryan smiles, then he looks over Marissa's shoulder and sees Luke glaring at them. Ryan: I'm going to go. Marissa: Hey. We're not doing anything wrong. Luke walks up to them. Luke: Well, now that you've moved in, I see you're making yourself right at home. Marissa: Luke, come on. You said you were going to try. Luke: I'm trying. I - I'm trying to understand why there's all this people here and you only want to talk to her. Marissa: Hey, I wanted to talk to him. Luke: Look, babe, why don't you go talk to Summer, all right? She looks kind of lonely. Marissa: Or you can. And I'll just stay and finish talking to Ryan. Ryan: It's okay. I'm just going to go. Marissa: No. Stay. Luke: (angrily) What are you doing? Don't tell him he can stay! Ryan: Don't tell her what to do. Luke: Thought you were leaving. (grabs Ryan's arm roughly) Why don't I just help you out? Ryan turns around and they stare each other down. Ryan: I'm not going to fight you. Luke: (looks at him) Even if I do this? (punches Ryan in the gut) Ryan falls to the ground. Marissa: (rushing forward) Luke! (crouches over Ryan) Oh my God! Are you okay? (stands up and advances on Luke) God. Luke. You're such an idiot. Marissa leaves in a huff. Luke takes off after her. Seth is next to Ryan. Seth: Wow. You just got your butt kicked. You didn't even fight back. Dude, you really are a Cohen. (Ryan glares at him, still clutching his tummy) Yeah. Let's just get you home. Seth helps Ryan up. SCENE 13 At the pool house. Ryan is sitting on his bed, reading a magazine. Seth enters the pool house, already in his tuxedo. Seth: What are you doing? Why aren't you dressed yet? Ryan: (not looking at Seth) I'm not going. Seth rolls his eyes. Ryan: Will you let Anna know. She'd probably be relieved. Seth: Are you just not going to go because you're afraid of Luke? Ryan: (still not looking up) That's not what I'm afraid of. (he looks up at Seth, who gives him a 'so what are you afraid of' look/hand gesture) Look. Your parents taking me in, it's like the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I'm not going to lose it just to kick some guy's ass. Seth: But you could though. You could kick his ass, right? Ryan: Oh yeah. Seth: Cool. (clears his throat) All right. Well. Have fun. (leaves) SCENE 14 At the Cooper house. Marissa is in her bedroom, dressed in a robe, looking at her Cotillion dress that is laid out on the bed. Julie knocks on the door, then enters. Julie: Sweetie, I need to borrow your lip-gloss. (stops when she sees the dress) Oh. I love this dress. (bends down to pick dress up) Marissa: Really. Maybe you should wear it. Julie: Hah. You're sweet. (moves in front of the mirror, holding the dress in front of her) But I think we both know that I'm no longer a size zero. Give me a few more months on the zone. Marissa: I don't think I want to go. Julie: (turns to her immediately) I'm sorry. I thought I just heard you say you don't want to go to your own Cotillion. Marissa: Look. Luke and I got in a fight last night, okay? Julie: (turning back to the mirror) So, you got into a fight. You've had fights before. You guys have been together forever. Marissa: Maybe... that's the problem. (stops) I mean what if there's someone else out there? Julie: (looks scandalized) Like who? That boy from Chino? Marissa is looking like 'maybe...' Julie: (lowering dress and walking towards Marissa) Marissa. Do you want to end up like your Aunt Cindy? With four kids in a trailer park? She broke my mother's heart. I will not let you break mine. Marissa: Oh, so now this is about you? Julie: (softly) No, sweetie. It's about you. What kind of future do you think you could have with that boy? Marissa: Mom! I'm sixteen! Julie: And the choices that you make when you're sixteen can affect your entire future. Marissa, Luke comes from a good family. If you stay with him, you'll always be comfortable. Marissa: I'm comfortable now! Julie: Nothing in life is certain. Marissa: (taken aback) What does that mean? Julie: It means that you'll put on this dress, do your hair the way I showed you and make your debut into Newport's society with Luke. Marissa: (sighs) I can't. (Julie looks livid) I'm sorry. Julie: No, you're not. But you will be. Julie hands Marissa back the dress and then leaves. SCENE 15 At the Cohen house. Sandy is sitting on a pool side lounge chair, drinking a beer. Kirsten walks out, in an evening gown. Kirsten: What are you doing? Why aren't you dressed? Sandy: I'm not going. Kirsten: What do you mean you're not going? Sandy: Oh. I don't feel like getting all dressed up and having to pretend that Jimmy Cooper is the O.C. golden boy. Any community that makes that guy a hero is not one I feel like being a part of right now. Kirsten looks tired. Seth walks out of the pool house. Kirsten: (to Seth) You're not going either? Seth: I wanted to leave twenty minutes ago. Kirsten: Let's go. Seth: Dad, why aren't you - Kirsten: Seth! Now! Seth gives Sandy a 'what's up?' look. Sandy just jerks his head for Seth to follow Kirsten. SCENE 16 At the Cooper house. Jimmy is sitting at his desk in his office. The phone is ringing in the background. Jimmy: Oh, I don't know. Maybe I... shouldn't go either. Julie: (very upset) What? What is wrong with this family? This is Cotillion. The most important event of the year. (looking on the verge of tears) Am I the only one who gets it? Kaitlin walks in, dressed in a pink evening gown. Kaitlin: I get it, Mommy. (she's holding a cordless) Daddy, it's Mr Fisher again. He's called like three times. Julie: (shaking her finger at Jimmy) No! We do not have time for you two to talk business. (to Kaitlin) Tell Greg, daddy will see him at the Cotillion. (to Jimmy) Right, Jimmy? Jimmy: (sighing heavily) All right. Come on. (stands up) We're going to be late. SCENE 17 At the club. Seth is walking into the fitting area. There are lots of dressed up couples milling around. He walks up to a small group. Seth: Do you guys know Anna Stern? The girl starts to shake her head. Anna: Seth! Anna walks up, adjusting her glove. Seth is taken with her beauty. Seth: Wow. Anna: (excitedly) You think? Seth: (walking up to her) Yes. I do. Which makes this... even harder to say. Anna, just know, that in life, there are peaks and - Anna: (disappointed) Ryan is not coming, is he? Seth: You kind of took the wind out of my sails there, but yes. Anna smiles and shrugs. Seth: Are you okay? Anna: I'll survive. Seth smiles. SCENE 18 At the Cohen house. Ryan is reading a magazine while walking to the kitchen. Inside, Sandy is just closing the fridge. Sandy: Hey! Ryan: Hey. Thought you were going to Cotillion? Sandy: I thought you were. Ryan: Yeah... No. Sandy: (eats a chip) Yeah. Me neither. Cut to them playing a video game together. Sandy: Wait. Which one is sword? Ryan: The one you're hitting. Sandy: Oh. Got it. Right. Ryan: Okay. Now you're sab me. Just don't touch any of the buttons. Follow me through the forest and, uh, maybe we'll both make it out of here alive. Sandy: So, you didn't feel like going, huh? Ryan: (a little distracted by the game) Yeah... No. Not really for me. Sandy: What - Waltzing and orchids? What could be more you? Ryan: Guess I don't really fit in, huh? Sandy: Oh. I got news for you. Nobody does. I guarantee you, every single person at that Cotillion feels like a fraud. They've all got secrets and they're all terrified that the guy next door's going to find them out. Ryan: What's your secret? Sandy: (shrugs) Sometimes, when the sun's coming up and the surf is good... and I haven't pissed my wife off quite as much as I have today, I kind of like this place. Ryan: (turns to look at him) You just sab me again. Sandy: Ooh. (looks at his controller) Sorry. SCENE 19 At the club. Summer is on the cell. Summer: I can't believe you're not coming. Marissa is still at home in her robe. Marissa: It's just... after the whole Luke and Ryan thing last night... (shrugs) I don't feel... Summer: Coop. (softly) Ryan isn't even here. Marissa: He's not? (recovers) Ah well, even so. I'm just not up for it. Summer sighs, turns off the cell phone and swivels around to where Luke and Julie are standing together. Summer: She's not coming. Luke: So what did I get all dressed up for? Summer gets a 'welllll' look. Marissa is sitting on her bed, playing with her dress. At the club. Anna and Seth are sitting together. Anna: I mean, whatever you think of the whole superhero movie genre, at least it's getting people to read the original source material. Seth: I can not believe that you read comic books. I... you're a girl! Anna: What is that supposed to mean? And I call them graphic novels. (Seth does a 'I know' gesture) In fact, if more people did maybe the form wouldn't be so marginalized. Seth: I couldn't agree more. They both laugh lightly. Summer walks up and Seth stands up to greet her. Seth: Hey, Summer. You ready. You look just... great. Summer: So, listen, uhm. (looks uncomfortable) Seth: You, uhm. You found another date. Summer: Yeah. It's kind of an emergency, but you're off the hook. Sorry. Seth: No, it's, it's, uhm - Summer's already walked away. Seth looks very upset. Seth: (mumbling) It's fine. He storms off, with Anna looking at him leave. SCENE 20 At the Cohen house. The doorbell rings. Ryan answers it and finds Marissa at the door. Ryan: Hey. Marissa: Hey. Ryan: You - You're not at that Cotillion. Marissa: Neither are you. Ryan does a 'well, no, I'm not' thing with his eyes. Marissa: Look. I hope you didn't not go because of last night or... because of me. Ryan: (doesn't quite know how to respond to that) How come you're not going? Marissa tries to answer, then just shrugs. Ryan: So, you think just hiding out, staying home, is going to make everything better? Marissa: Seems to be working for you. (then she gets a mischievous smile) I'll go if you go. Inside, Sandy is still playing the video game very excitedly. Sandy: Ryan, come on! Check this out! I have totally annihilated all the other ninjas! Ryan and Marissa walk in together. Sandy: I'm already on to the... (trails off when he sees Marissa) Marissa. Hello. Marissa: Hey. Ryan: (looking nervous) So, we're going to go... to Cotillion. Sandy just stares at him. Ryan does a little head jerk. Sandy: Well, I'll get the car. SCENE 21 At the club. Lots of adults in evening outfits are hanging around. Jimmy is reading a program. Greg walks up to him. Greg: Hey, Jimmy! There you are. Jimmy: Hey, Greg. How are you doing? They shake hands. Greg: I'll be a lot better once I get that cheque. Get this property deal close. Get my wife off my back. Jimmy: I don't have it. Greg: What do you mean you don't have it? What? Did you forget it? Jimmy: Look. This isn't really the time or place. Why don't you stop by the office tomorrow and we'll talk about it? Greg: (confused and upset) Talk about it? Talk about what? Jimmy sees Marissa walking in with Ryan and Sandy. Jimmy: Excuse me. (takes off after Marissa) Greg: Jimmy - In the fitting area. Julie is talking to Summer and Luke. She sees Marissa walking in. Julie: I don't believe it. Ryan talks softly to Marissa and gestures like he's going to go change. Marissa nods and smiles. Luke stalks towards Marissa. Luke: You told Summer you weren't coming. Now you're here with him! Marissa: No. Ryan and I aren't here together - Luke: (cutting her off) No. No. No! I'm not an idiot! Ryan: (walking up to them) Then listen to her and stop acting like one. Luke: What did you say? Ryan: Look, I - Luke: No, no! (shoves Ryan in the chest, Marissa tries to placate him) What did you say!? Come on. Tell me what you said! Marissa: Stop it! Luke: (looking like he's going to cry) I'm over this. We're done. (takes off) Shortly after, Julie and Marissa are talking while Ryan is watching them from afar. Anna walks up to Ryan. Anna: Hey! Look who decided to show up. Oh, don't worry about it. Your ht man already took care of it. I didn't feel a thing! Ryan: (looking sincerely sorry) I'm here now. If you want to, uh - Anna: (sniffles dramatically) No. Too late. You missed your sht. (looks at Marissa and Julie) I guess you'll have to go with Princess Mononoke over there. Ryan: What are you going to do? Anna: Oh, so now you care? (winks at him) Go! Julie: (to Marissa) Ugh, Marissa, if you'd just stuck to the original plan. (Marissa sighs) I'm sorry. Do you want me to have Daddy go find - Marissa: No, Mom! Julie: You can't make your debut without an escort. Ryan: (walking up) I hear there's a white night available. Julie: (looking at Ryan condescendingly) Well, it's very nice of you to offer, but... I don't think it's appropriate. Marissa: (smiles happily at Ryan, then declares) I'll go get dressed. (takes off) Ryan leaves too, leaving Julie simmering unhappily. Outside in the hallway. Seth is sitting on the floor, curled up with his arms around his knees. Anna: (walking up to him) Could you be any more pathetic? A lone figure, sitting on the floor, wondering if he's going to be lonely for the rest of his life. Seth: (gets up, crossing his arms in front of his chest defensively) Oh. Your sensitivity it's really, uh... non-existant. Anna: (stalks up to him) You know what your problem is? You're not a man. Seth: (nods) Again. Not appreciating the brutal honesty. Anna: Do you know what girls find sexy? Seth: (sarcastically) Uh. Wait. Let me guess. Dudes who play water polo? Anna: Confidence! Watch this. (slides up real close to him) Seth. Seth: (nervously) Yes? Anna: I don't have a date to the Cotillion. Would you be my escort? Seth: (totally nervous) I - I mean - I, uh - Anna: (brushing imaginary lint off his shoulder) Confidence, Cohen. Seth: (nods) Let's do this. In the back, all the girls are lined up. Julie is walking down the line. Julie: Hair's good. Make up's good. Very nice. Stand up straight. Gum please. Summer is complaining to Holly. Summer: How did this happen? How did I go from having three dates to Cotillion to having none?! Holly: (barely paying attention, adjusting her gloves) I'm sorry, girl. That blows. Summer sighs, then catches sight of Seth walking in with Anna. Summer: (walking up to Seth with a bright smile on her face) Good news! I'm available again! Seth: You are. Anna looks at him. And he looks back. Seth: No. No. (does a weird dance) We're going to go this way. No. He and Anna walk away. Outside in the ballroom, Kirsten is reading the program at a table. Sandy walks up and sits next to her. Sandy: Oh. Five hundred channels and nothing on. Kirsten: You couldn't put on a tux? Sandy: Pick your battles, honey. On the stage, Peggy is with a microphone. Peggy: Good evening, everyone. And welcome to the forty-seventh annual Newport Beach Debutant Cotillion. (applause) In the fitting area, both Ryan and Marissa step out of changing rooms. Marissa: Hey. (they walk up to each other) Are you ready to make your debut? Ryan smiles nervously. Cut to Marissa running up to meet the line of debutants. Peggy: Holly Fisher. Daughter of Greg and Marianne Fisher. Ryan joins the line of escorts behind Seth. Greg walks up on stage and hands Holly over to her escort (there's bowing and curtsying). Peggy: Anna Stern. Daughter of Cameron and Patricia Stern. Anna walks up onto the stage, greets her dad. Seth comes up to get her. Kirsten and Sandy are applauding loudly. Anna and Seth walk down to the dance floor. Anna places her bouquet on a table with other bouquets. Peggy: Marissa Cooper. Daughter of James and Julie Cooper. Jimmy is on the stage with Marissa. Jimmy: I love you, kiddo. Marissa: I love you too, Daddy. Julie looks proud. Ryan comes up, bows. Marissa curtsies back. She drops off her bouquet and they walk to the end of the dance floor. Peggy: And now, ladies and gentlemen. Please join me in congratulating this year's debutants. More applause. A waltz starts up. Marissa and Ryan start dancing. Everyone is dancing as the crowd looks on. Jimmy as well. Greg: (walking up to Jimmy) We never finished our conversation. I got to tell you, Jimmy, you got me a little concerned. Jimmy: Believe me. It's nothing that can't wait until tomorrow. (jerks his head at the dance floor) Don't the girls look beautiful? Ryan: (softly to Marissa) I hate dancing. Marissa: Wow. Thanks. Ryan: Oh no. Uhm. With you it's - it's (hey laugh nervously) not horrible. Marissa: You're sweet. Anna: (to Seth) Are you leading? Seth: I'm trying. Anna: Oooh. Attitude. I like that. Greg is still trying to talk to Jimmy. Greg: I - I've already put an offer, okay? I've got a mortgage on the house. The kids are in private school. Now, if there is problem, I need to know about it. Jimmy: Now. Is not the time. Greg: Jimmy! Where's my money? (Jimmy doesn't answer) I asked you a question - where's my money? Jimmy: Look. I didn't want you to find out this way, but I don't have it. Greg: What?! Jimmy: I will. But I don't have it right now. Greg: (getting loud) Well, if you don't have my money, then who has it? Jimmy: Shhh. Look. (pulls Greg away) I promise I'm working on it, all right? There's been some bad investments, some bad accounting - Greg: Whoa, whoa! Are you telling me you lost everything? Jimmy: All right. Will you just keep it down? Greg: No, I'm not going to keep it down. That is my money! That is my retirement! My kids tuition. Jimmy: I'm sorry - Greg punches Jimmy in the face. Greg: You son of a bitch! Julie gets up in alarm. Greg is pounding Jimmy. Everyone stops and stares. Marissa: Oh my God! Greg: You thief! You took my money! Greg has Jimmy pinned to the floor and is punching him. Sandy gets up and pulls Greg off. Greg punches Sandy in the face. Ryan lunges forward and pins Greg to the ground. Greg: Get off me! (tries to get to Jimmy) You're a thief! You're a thief! Sandy and someone else help restrain Greg. Greg: Get off me! (shakes Sandy and other guy off) He's a thief! Sandy: Leave. Now. Greg: You're a thief. Julie looks mortified. Greg: (to everyone) He's a thief! Marissa: (crouching over Jimmy) Dad. Julie is at the table, a hand over her face. Someone: Take it outside. Come on! Later. The police are talking to people. Kirsten and Sandy are sitting at a table. Sandy has an icepack to his face. Kirsten: I haven't seen you in a fight since... never. Sandy: Now you know why. Kirsten: What are you talking about? He sucker punched you. You didn't have to jump in like that. Defend Jimmy. Sandy: Eh. I always had this thing for the underdog. Kirsten smiles. Sandy: After I fill out the police report, maybe we should go over and see how he's doing. Kirsten laughs a little. Ryan: (walking up to them) Hey. So, uh... sorry, I... I know I promised I wouldn't get into any fights. Sandy: I think we can make an exception in this case. (looks to Kirsten for confirmation. She smiles. Then to Ryan) The police, however, are going to have some questions. And as your attorney, I advice you - get out of here. Ryan: Thanks. (starts walking away) Seth: (walking up to Ryan) Hey. Uhm. You don't mind if I walk your date home, do you? They both look at Anna who is waiting in the sidelines. Ryan: No. Seth: Cool. That's quite a little debut you had tonight. You really know how to present yourself. Finally, a Cohen who can throw it down. (pokes Ryan in the stomach. Ryan cringes) You want to come with us? Ryan: (glances at Anna) Uh. I'll just see you at home. Seth: See you at home. Ryan walks away. Seth and Anna walk together. Seth: So, do you think I, uh, could get to see you again? Anna: Mm. No. Seth: Well. Okay. Anna: No. It's just. I know this might sound kind of... wha	{"type": "series", "show": "The O.C.", "episode": "01x04 - The Debut"}	foreverdreaming
Scenes from last episode TEASER At the beachside promenade. Ryan's on his bike. Seth is on his skateboard. They pull up to the Crab Shack and Ryan locks his bike up in the front. Next, they are both kneeling in front of a tnk with lobsters inside. Ryan: So, what are we doing in front of this tnk? Seth: Ryan, we're like two samurai, really. And we need to have respect for each other before meeting in battle. And eating lobster is a battle, as you will soon learn. (turns to glance at Ryan, then turns back to the tnk ) Is that a new shirt? They both stand up. Ryan: (looking down at his shirt) Yeah. Your mom bought me some new clothes. Which she didn't have to do. Seth: (sarcastically) Right. Because we all know you get a lot of mileage out of a tnk top. Hey, (turns to Ryan) speaking of which, do you think I could pull of the wife beater? You know, switch up my look? Ryan averts his eyes. Seth gets a clue. Seth: Gotcha. You got your style I got mine. Ryan: Yep. They start walking away. Seth: (making a 'you're dad' gesture with his index finger at the tnk, whispering) You're dad. Cut to lobster shells on plates. Ryan: That was amazing. A lot of work, but amazing. Ryan and Seth are sitting at a table with plates full of empty lobster shells. They look satisfied and full. Seth: So, what's going on with you and Marissa? Did you talk to her? Ryan: (sighing) I don't think she wants to talk. Everything with her and her dad is - Seth: Ryan, you know what your problem is? And I speak from experience with great* authority here - is that you really need to be aggressive, okay? Her and Luke - they're broken up - which means that you need to go after her. Tell her how you feel. It's very easy. Ryan: What do we do? Where do we go? I have no car. No money. A waiter comes up and puts down the bill. Seth pulls his wallet out. Seth: I got it. Threw in a couple of sailing lessons this week. Feeling a little bit flush. Ryan: Not you too. I can't keep doing this. Ever since your parents took me in, they've been like paying for everything. I can't keep taking their money. Seth: They're parents. They work for us. Ryan: They're your parents. Seth: They're your guardians. It's the same principle. Ryan doesn't look happy. Seth: Okay. What are you going to do for cash then? In the background, plates/dishes are breaking. Guy: Get out of here! (presumably the owner/manager) Ryan and Seth turn to see a guy in a waiter outfit dump a towel in frustration. Another guy: You can't fre me! I quit. The guy leaves. Ryan gives Seth a 'what do you think' look. Seth: Fine. But you're going to hook me up with free lobster. [Opening credits] SCENE 1 At the pool house. Seth: This actually works out good for me. You starting the new job because now... I'm going to have time to do all the stuff that I haven't been able to do since you moved here. Like I'm going to get start my novel. Ryan: (walking by him, dressing) Be back by six. Seth: (looks at his watch) Yeah. I know. It's nine now, which means I'm going to have nine hours of me time. You know what I'm saying? For me, Ryan. I'm going to do stuff like learn Chinese. Study my Talmud. You know what I mean? Sink my teeth into it. Ryan: (grabbing his back pack) You going to be okay? Seth: (taking a deep breath) Yes. Before you moved here, all I did was hang out by myself anyway. So it's really a return to form. SCENE 2 In the Cohen kitchen. Some of the women from the planning committee (see previous episodes such as The Gamble) are setting the table. Tina: Should we not go? Karen: Maybe we could till Julie we're not going and go anyway. G3: You guys, that's too mean. We can't do that. Can we, Kirsten? Kirsten: Absolutely not. We've had this retreat on the books now for months. And Julie's looking forward to it. They sit down. One of the women: And some of us were looking forward to retiring early before her husband stole our money. Ryan and Seth walk in to the adjoining room. Sandy is hiding behind the doorframe, listening to the women talk in the kitchen. Seth: Uh Dad. What are you doing, man? Sandy: (gesturing for Seth to be quiet, whispering) I'm waiting for them to disperse. (Seth tries to look into the kitchen, Sandy stops him) I left my briefcase in there. I - I need to get to work. Ryan: (softly) Well. Go get it. Sandy: And talk to those women? I can't. Kirsten: He didn't steal. It wasn't like - She's our friend. Karen: I can't believe you're defending them. Jimmy Cooper is a thief and a felon. Seth: (mumbling) Those women are obsessed. Sandy: (still softly) Are you kidding? A scandal this big in a town this small? I mean, they'll be dining out on this for months! Tina: What are their kids going to do? I mean. With their father in prison! G3: You think he's going to jail? Tina: I hear ten to twenty. Ryan: (to Sandy) Is that true? Is he going to jail? Sandy: (shrugging) Jimmy Cooper stole a lot of money from a lot of powerful people. Seth: What's Marissa going to do without her dad? The women are still talking in the background. Sandy doesn't look like he has the answer to Seth's question. SCENE 3 In the Cooper house. Julie is dumping magazines/pamphlets into a garbage bin. Julie: I don't want to go. I have to go. Trip's already been paid for. Besides, if I don't show up, those women will spend the entire weekend gossiping about me. She walks around to the couch where Jimmy is sitting, looking at some papers. Jimmy: You're being a little paranoid. Julie: (scoffing) Oh no, I'm not. I'm sure they think I've mastermined this whole debacle. Jimmy: Honey. They're your friends. Julie: Please. They're the gatekeepers of this entire community. The community your daughters and I would like to remain a part of? This is my one chance to go before the fring squad and plead for a stay of execution. (stalks off) Jimmy: Well, I was hoping to be able to talk this weekend. Julie: (stopping) This is your mess, Jimmy. You clean it up. And when I get back, we'll figure out what the hell we're going to tell our girls. (leaves the room) SCENE 4 At the beach. Marissa is in a flowery bikini, sun tanning on a beach chair. Summer is on another beach chair next to Marissa, wearing a red, white polka-dot bikini. Summer: Ugh! I'm totally crispy. (sighs) Let's go do something. Shopping? Get exfoliated? Anything. Marissa: And I'll pay for it how? I mean, my dad's credit card got shut off yesterday. Summer: Well, what about Luke? I mean, he could pay for you. He is your boyfriend, right? Marissa: I don't know. (takes a deep breath) We left things kinda up in the air. Summer: You haven't talked to him since Cotillion? Marissa: I haven't talked to anyone. Except you. Pause. Summer: Okay, Coop. This is so not the way to handle this. I mean, you're going to become depressed. And then you're going to need medication. And then you're going to stop feeling like anything. (Marissa levels a look at her) According to my step mom. Marissa: (smiling indulgently) Uh huh. Summer: Come on. Let me buy you lunch. My dad gave me his credit card in case of emergencies. And well, this is an emergency. Marissa smiles and they both laugh lightly. Marissa: Okay. SCENE 5 At the Crab Shack. Donnie is walking really fast with Ryan following him. They are both wearing waiter/busboy outfits. Donnie: All right, man. I'm going to give you the run down. They get to a table that hasn't been cleared. Donnie grabs a paper place setting and a napkin. Donnie: This - is garbage. (crumples them up) It belongs - in the garbage. (tosses them into a garbage bin next to them) This. (holds up plates with leftover food on them) Belongs over here. (puts plates in a bin) And uh (rubs his hands together) now for the advance class. (taps Ryan's chest with the back of his hand) Donnie walks up to a woman sitting alone and leans down charmingly with his hands behind his back. Donnie: Hello, Mrs Palmer. How are you today? Would you like another glass of Merlot? Mrs Palmer, a thirty-ish blonde, nods. Donnie and Ryan walk away. Donnie: (quietly to Ryan) Drunk. (picks up a bill) Ryan: Been working here long? Donnie: Oh, man. Too long. Everybody that comes in here is a freak show. They like to have thirty-dollar entrées on plastic plates. Sixty-dollar bottles of wine in plastic cups. And their service - with a big smile. (rings up the bill he picked up) Welcome to Newport. Where things only appear to be casual. Marissa and Summer walk in. Summer is saying something to Marissa. Donnie: (turning to watch Marissa and Summer walk in) Of course, living here does have its upsides. Marissa stops when she sees Ryan. Summer walks on ahead of her obliviously. Ryan: (to Marissa) Hey. Marissa: Hey. Ryan: First day on the job. Marissa: Oh. Wow. Well, the food here is... really good. They both smile uncomfortably at each other. Ryan: How's your dad? Marissa: He's okay. Ryan: How are you? Marissa shrugs. Summer: (from across the room, really loudly) Coop! Starving? Marissa nods. Ryan: Ah. I should get back to work. Marissa: Right. (starts walking away) Ryan: (really quickly) You want to hang out sometime? Marissa stops. Ryan: (looking nervous) Go out? Marissa: (smiling slightly) Like on a date? Ryan: (too quickly) Not a date. Uh. Just... (like he's trying to find the words to stop sounding stupid) Marissa: I can't. Right now. Ryan: Of course. (looks disappointed) Right. Marissa: But thanks. (tries smiling) See ya. (takes off) Ryan looks as though he wants to kick something. Or himself. SCENE 6 Somewhere in the Cooper/Cohen neighbourhood. Sandy is in his car, pulling up to Jimmy, who is walking the dog. Sandy: Hey, Jimmy. Sandy stops the car. Jimmy stops the dog. Sandy: How's it going? Jimmy: Ah. (scoffs) Never better. Sandy: Listen, I was thinking. How would you like some free legal advice? Jimmy: (a little confused) You want to be my lawyer? How long do you want to send me away for? Sandy: I got way too big an ego for that. Jimmy: Oh. That's true. Sandy: No. I wouldn't be representing you. I've got a friend who is a securities attorney. But I could help you put together the case. Jimmy: (definitely confused) Why would you do that? You don't even like me. Sandy: Well... I'm a public defender. I represent a lot of people I don't like. SCENE 7 At the Crab Shack. Ryan is clearing a table. Summer and Marissa are at a table. Summer: (watching Ryan walk to the kitchen) I wish somebody'd told me he worked here now. Marissa: Why? Summer: (looking nervous and uncomfortable) No reason. (suddenly looks to the door) Oh! What do you know? Luke! What a coincidence! (totally fake with a nervous smile) Marissa: (upset) You invited him? Summer: Got to pee! See ya! (grabs her bag and leaves) Marissa: Wait! Summer! (not loudly so as to not attract attention) Summer gives Luke a little smile as she takes off. Donnie is walking out of the kitchen, carrying two plates. Donnie: (to Luke) Hey, man. Luke just gives him a 'yeah, right' laugh and walks up to the table where Marissa is sitting. Donnie looks upset behind Luke's back. Luke: Hey, babe. Marissa: (smiling weakly) Hey. Luke sits down where Summer was. Donnie: (walking up to Ryan, placing a hand on his back) I hate that kid, man. I - I seriously hate that kid. He walks in here like he owns the place. Let me tell you something, that Abercrombie and Fitch, water polo playing bitch wouldn't last two minutes in Corona. Ryan sits down on a stool and Donnie leans on the counter next to him. Ryan: You from Corona? Donnie: Yeah, man. Ryan: (pointing to himself) Chino. Donnie: (looking at Ryan) Chino? That's a long way from home. That place's no joke, man. At the table, Marissa and Luke are looking uncomfortable. Marissa: So, I'm sorry I haven't called you back. Luke: Ah, no. No worries. We don't have to talk about it. Marissa: Maybe we should talk about it. Luke: Why? Talking about stuff's just going to get us all bummed out. Let's just... Let's just do something. At the counter. Donnie: Yo, so these Newport kids must make you sick too then. Ryan: Sounds like you're a fan. Donnie: You know, I like to surf. I like the tips. Love the girls. Plus it's not all like this, man. There's - There's some real people around here. Ryan: Yeah? Donnie: I tell you what. After work, I'll show you what I'm talking about. (raises his fist) Cool? Ryan bumps fists with Donnie. Ryan: Cool. (looking kind of tired and unenthused as Donnie walks away) Luke: (leaning forward to Marissa) Holly's beach house. Party. Marissa: (shakes her head) I don't really wanna. Luke: Why not? Marissa: (a little loudly) It's weird! (then softly) I mean her - her dad bat up my dad at my debutant ball. Luke: Yeah, well, you can't blame Holly for that! I mean, your dad stole all their money. Marissa: (looking disgusted, gets up to leave) Nice. She leaves quickly, exchanging a glance with Ryan on the way out. Ryan turns to see Luke glaring at the table. SCENE 8 At the Cohen house. Seth is lying on a lounge chair by the pool. He's listening to a MP3/Minidisc player. He looks like he's dying from boredom. Finally, he removes the earphones and grabs his skateboard. At the Crab Shack. Donnie is counting small stacks of money. Donnie: Normally, we don't tip out the trainees, but uh, you did good, man. Ryan: (taking the cash offered to him) Thanks. Donnie: All right. Now you can buy me a beer. I'm gonna go grab my sweatshirt. (takes off for the back) Ryan: All right. Ryan walks out of the Crab Shack and Seth skates up to him. Seth: Hey! Ryan: What's up? Seth: Craziest thing, uh, just happened. I was in the neighbourhood, checked my watch, it's six o'clock. I figured - come by and celebrate your first day on the job perhaps. Ryan: Yeah... Donnie: (walks up and puts a hand on Ryan's shoulder) So, kid. You ready? Ryan: Yeah. Yeah, actually, I made other plans. This is Donnie. He grew up in the town next to me. Uh, Donnie. Seth. Donnie: (shaking hands with Seth) What's up, man? Seth: Wow. Hey. What's up. Well, then. Wow. You guys must have a lot of catching up to do. Donnie: We got some, uh, some girls we got to catch up with, right? The, uh, the blonde's a dancer. (points to two girls standing some ways off) Seth: Ah, yes. The ladies. I hear ya. Ryan: Well, uh, do you wanna - (turns to Donnie) Donnie, is it cool - Seth: No no no no no no. Please, no. You guys, go. I - Cause I have to. I was going to do stuff. Uhm. But Donnie, hey, it's really good to meet you, man. (shakes Donnie's hand again) Donnie: All right, man. Let's go, son. (takes off to where the girls are) Ryan: Yeah. Seth: See ya. So then, I'll just see you at home. Uh, tomorrow. Or tonight. Or just - I don't know - Just go. Ryan starts walking away and Seth is completely flustered. Ryan: (slowing down) You sure you don't want to - Seth: No. No. Just - (waves him away) Ryan: All right. (waves) Seth: All right. (waves) Have fun. Seth looks lonely on the promenade. He skates off. SCENE 9 At the Cohen house the next morning. Ryan walks into the kitchen where Seth is sitting at the counter. Seth is reading a comic book, determinedly not looking up at Ryan. Ryan picks up a box of cereal from the counter and eats right out of it. Ryan: What are you reading? Seth: The new Legion came out Wednesday. It's part two of five. Ryan: I liked part one. Seth: Yeah. I'll let you borrow it when I'm done. (still not looking up) Ryan is staring at him. Ryan: Thanks. Seth: How was last night? Ryan: Fun. Seth: Cool. (Finally looking up at Ryan) That's cool that, you know, that you met someone that's where you're from. You know - it's just - you know, cool. (he tries waving it off like he doesn't care, then goes back to reading) Seth finishes reading the comic, then closes it and pushes it towards Ryan. He then opens another comic book and proceeds to read it with a lot of focus. SCENE 10 At the beach. Marissa and Summer are in bikinis (different from the day before). Marissa: I mean, I know he's not the most sensitive guy in the world. Summer: No one wants to see you with Luke more than me. But what you're going through right now is gnarly. Luke's a boy. Maybe he can't handle it. They are putting on sun tan lotion. Summer: (looking down at her own shoulder) Is it bad to burn on top of a peel? Marissa: (distracted, then looking briefly at Summer's shoulder) Uh. Yeah. Put thirty on it. Summer: Coop. Your life will* sab. Your parents will* work it out. Your mom will go away this weekend. They'll miss each other. They'll have make up sex. Marissa: (laughing) Ew! Summer! Summer: (walking away) It's true! Ryan: Marissa. Marissa turns to see Ryan riding up on his bike. Ryan: Hey. Marissa is looking a little uncomfortable or shy. Ryan: Heading into the office. Marissa: Yeah. Me too. Marissa/Ryan: (talking over one another) You know what / So I was thinking, uh. They both stop talking. Ryan: When I asked if you wanted to hang out, I was asking you out. Marissa: (looking kind of happy) I know. Ryan: I just wanted to clear that up because I'm going to ask you out again. You want to do something tonight? Marissa: Well, I have to baby-sit for Kaitlin. But I will be cooking - macaroni and cheese. It's my specialty. Ryan: So, that's a yes. She nods. Ryan: All right. He walks his bike away. She looks pleased. SCENE 11 Sandy and Jimmy are looking through documents that are spread on the floor, boxes all around them. Jimmy: Won't these costs be covered by chapter eleven? Sandy: Well, filing for bankruptcy isn't going to make this thing go away. The U.S. Attorney's office is involved in this now. They'll push for fraud and unauthorized transactions. Jimmy: Yeah, so, they fine me. And I go back to work. And I make it all back. Sandy: Four million dollars? Unless you plan on going to the track and getting really lucky... Jimmy: Look. If you don't want to do this - Sandy: You're going to lose your series seven license. (Jimmy looks stressed) It's really important that you understand the predicament you're in. Jimmy: Look. (fingers at the bridge of his nose, as if he has a really big headache) I get it from my wife every day. My daughters won't talk to me. I got my ass kicked in front of everyone at the most elegant event of the year. I get it. Okay, man. I, I, I definitely understand. Sandy: Well, look. We're both tired. Maybe we should take a break. Go out. Jimmy: Uh. What do you want to do? Sandy: Well, our wives are away for the weekend. We could... Well, what did we do before we got married? SCENE 12 At some resort. The ladies are all in terry cloth robes with sunglasses, sitting on lounge chairs by a pool. Tina: Put that thing away, Kirsten. Kirsten: (messing with her Blackberry) I'm sorry. Put a bid in on a new development. The counter offer is outrageous. Karen: We're here to relax. Just because you have a job. Julie: (reading a magazine) She's lucky she has a career. (Kirsten turns to look at her) Well, I mean, it's not luck. You're very hard worker. (Kirsten looks back down) God knows I could use my own income right about now. Okay. Let's just say that I better enjoy the weekend because I won't be back for a while. Tina: Oh, don't say that. It's not true. Karen: Jules, tell me, did you have any idea about any of it? Julie: Who'd have known? (scoffing lightly) We have a deal. My domain is the kitchen and the bedroom, his is the office. I held up my end of the bargain. Tina: You poor thing. Julie: Believe me. If I'd had known anything, I would have taken my girls out of the country. It's them I'm concerned about. Kirsten is 'ignoring' the conversation. Julie: I mean, having to live with the shame of what your father's done? Kirsten: (not looking up) Maybe we shouldn't talk about this. Julie: (mildly) Oh no. I don't mind. I mean, to be honest, I blame myself. I feel like I should have known. Like... I should have sensed it somehow. Tina: (vehemently) Well, how could you? You had no idea! Karen: You can't bat yourself up. You're a victim here. Julie: You're right. I know. It's just... (sighs) what else can I do? Karen: I have the name of a GREAT attorney. Tina: Ooh. A good attorney could really help Jimmy. Karen: It's for Julie. To divorce his sorry ass. Kirsten: Girls. This isn't helping Julie relax. Isn't that why we're here? (Julie gives her the evil eye) Tina: Kirsten's right. (laughs lightly) You wouldn't get a divorce. (then turning serious when Julie remains silent) Would you? Kirsten looks over at Julie. Julie puts on her sunglasses then lays back on her chair with a sigh. SCENE 13 At the Crab Shack. Ryan is cleaning up some tables. Seth walks in. Seth: Hey. Ryan: Hey. Seth: How do you feel about a little thing that I like to call... (whips out two tickets) the Imax Experience. This town sucks, best I could do. Ryan: Uh. I can't. I'm hanging out with Marissa tonight. Seth: So, we'll get a third ticket. I really don't think it's going to be sold out. Ryan: Well, she's got her sister. Seth: Fine. Four tickets then. I like Kaitlin - she's nice and she's smart for a fifth grader. Ryan: Actually, I, uh, was going to go over there. Help her... baby-sit. Seth: Ohhh. Nice. The baby-sit. I see. Stepping it up, taking it to the next level. I can respect that. Ryan: Yeah. (to Donnie, who is counting money behind him) Hey Donnie, I'm going to head out in a minute. Donnie: All right, man. I'm going to head out of here too. Can't believe we, uh, survived this shift. (hands Ryan his portion of the tips) I'm so hung over, man. What're you going to do now? Ryan: Uh. I got plans. Donnie: All right. Ryan walks away to clear more tables. Seth: I've got two tickets to the Imax, Donnie. It's a shark movie. Hear me out. It's very violent. Donnie: Shark movie. What're you - like eight? Seth: You got a better idea? Donnie: I got a, uh, house party in Long Beach. Six kegs, crazy honeys. Seth: Okay. Yes. That is better. Donnie: Wanna come? Seth: (looks up hopefully) Uh. (Ryan hears the offer and looks over) Is that - is that cool? Donnie: (does that fist bumping thing with Seth) Let me just... change up. (walks to the back) Seth: All right. (Ryan walks up to Seth) I do enjoy the crazy honeys. Ryan: (blandly) You're not going. Seth: (laughing/scoffing) Okay, MOM. Except that I am. Ryan: It's... kind of a shady neighbourhood. It's pretty hard-core. Seth: Dude, it's Long Beach, not Chechnya. Ryan: Seth, guys like Donnie - you don't exactly know them and they don't exactly know... kids like you. Seth: (sarcastically) So, I shouldn't wear my ascot and talk about Grey Poupon? Ryan: How're you going to get there? Seth: I've got my mom's Range Rover. (Ryan gives him a 'oh really' look) What? I'll park it up the street. (Ryan looks unconvinced; Seth scoffs) Look. Donnie's a good guy, right? He's cool, right? So, maybe, this way, we can all be friends? We can all hang out. Donnie: (coming out from the back) You boys game or what? Seth: Yeah. Ryan: (seriously to Seth) We go for one hour. SCENE 14 At the Cohen house. By the pool, Sandy is at the barbeque. Jimmy walks up with two Coronas. Jimmy: You know how long it's been since I've had a steak? I live with three vegetarians. Sandy: (takes a beer from Jimmy) Oh. You know how long it's been since we've had beer in the house? I'm so sick of Chardonnay and Merlot. (they clink bottles) Cheers. Jimmy: Cheers. The phone rings inside the house. Sandy: You want to grab that? These are almost done. Jimmy: Yeah. (goes into the house and picks up the phone) Hello? At the spa, Kirsten is on the other end of the line. Kirsten: (confused) Jimmy? Did I dial your number? Jimmy: No, no, no. I'm at your place. Kirsten: Ohh. Working on the case. Jimmy: Well, uh, we're taking a break... actually. Kirsten: (in disbelief) With Sandy? Jimmy: Yeah. We're doing, uh, doing guy stuff. Kirsten: Oh. All right. Well, uh, when you finish, uh, doing guy stuff, would you have Sandy give me a call? I just called to see if everything was okay. Is it? Jimmy: Well, uh. (sighs) I guess. Uh, I don't know. Kirsten: You know, I've - I've been, really worried about you. Jimmy: Hmm. Thanks. (Julie is walking up behind Kirsten at the spa) I appreciate it. Kirsten: (not realising that Julie is standing behind her) Well, uh, I'll talk to you when I get back. Take care, Jimmy. Kirsten hangs up and turns around. Julie is standing there staring at her. Julie: Your concern for my husband is REALLY touching. (walks away) Kirsten is speechless. SCENE 15 Somewhere in Long Beach. Ryan and Seth arrive at an outdoor party that is very alive. It's filled with people, cars and loud music. On the way in, a girl smoothes a hand up Seth's chest. Seth looks scared. They walk further in and then stop. Seth: (pointing) She really is a dancer. Pan to one of the girls from Donnie and Ryan's date the night before. She's just taken off her shirt and is dancing on a raised platform. She then removes her skirt. Seth gives Ryan a 'well-done' look. Ryan just looks surprised. Donnie: (from across the party) Yo, Chino! Come here, man. I want you to meet some of my boys. Ryan: You have forty-five minutes. (walks towards Donnie) Seth: Yeah. (totally engrossed in the stripping girl) We should see if she wants to come back to the pool house. (follows Ryan) Ryan: Don't say pool house. Seth: Right. SCENE 16 At the Cohen house. Jimmy and Sandy are sitting on the floor, playing videos games. Jimmy: Oh, dude! I thought you said you played before? Sandy: Well, some people have a natural talent. (punches the buttons, then lowers the controller in defeat) Not me. Jimmy: I haven't played videos games in like, I - I - I can't remember the last time I played. (still playing the game) Are we old? Because... if I didn't know better, I'd swear I was still sixteen. Sandy: Oh, I'm still twenty-two. Was the best year of my life. Jimmy: Yeah, uh, why twenty-two? Sandy: That was when I met Kirsten. Jimmy kind of nods, but is still playing the game. Sandy: Why sixteen? Jimmy: Ah. It was when, uh... (pauses) I* met Kirsten. Jimmy looks over at Sandy who is now paying attention to the game. Jimmy sighs, then they both return to the game silently. SCENE 17 At the Cooper house. The phone is ringing. Marissa enters the room, looking at her watch. Marissa: (picking up phone) Hello? Ryan: Marissa? Marissa: Hey. (covers one ear because the connection is noisy) Where are you? At the party, Ryan is on the phone. Donnie comes up and places an arm around his shoulder. Donnie has a plastic cup (of beer?) and seems a little intoxicated. Donnie: Yo. What did I tell you, man? How much better is this than Newport? Donnie stumbles away. Ryan: I got dragged to a party, but uhm, I'm leaving. I'm on my way. I just... got to get Seth away from, uh... this - this dancer. Marissa: (curtly) Dancer? Ryan: It's - It's a long story. But, uh, be there soon. (apologetically) Save me some mac and cheese? Marissa: (a little pissed off) Sure. See ya. (hangs up quickly) She looks disappointed and upset. At the party, Ryan walks up to where Seth is talking to two girls. Ryan: (grabs Seth's arm) Seth. We got to go. Seth: Whoa. Uh. Whoa. Uh. (turns back to the girls) One second. (pulls Ryan to the side) Hang on a second. All right, listen, I am really connecting with this girl, okay? Check it out. She just moved here with her sister from Uzbekistan and they're saving for a condo, right? Nice. That hits here. (he thumps his chest with his fist) Now, she does have a serious boyfriend. But you know what - she's looking to - Ryan quells him with a glare. Seth: (turning to the girls) Good luck with the condo. The girls are going 'what?' Seth follows Ryan out of the party. A bunch of people walk into the party. Guy: (walking into the party) Some dude just demo'd a Range Rover. That car is messed up! Ryan and Seth exchange looks, then look at the group walking away. SCENE 18 At the Cohen house. Seth and Sandy are standing outside in the driveway, looking at the Range Rover. There's white spray paint all over the car (I think the hood of the car says 'Rich boy') - basically, it just looks trashed. Ryan is sitting on the steps, watching them. Sandy: (disbelievingly) So, this all happened in the parking lot of the Imax movie theatre? Seth: (with a dramatic 'I know' sigh) Shark movies bring out a rough crowd. Sandy looks at Seth, and Seth just shrugs guiltily. Sandy: I'll call the insurance company, but you're explaining this to your mother. Tonight. (walks towards the house) Could get ugly. Seth rolls his neck. Seth: (softly) Yeah. (turning to Ryan) So, did you call Marissa? Ryan: Tried her again this morning. She doesn't want to talk - Seth: Man, I'm sorry I salted your game. Ryan: Yeah. (sadly) I got to get to work. (picks up his backpack, grabs his bike and takes off) SCENE 19 At the spa. The ladies are in a steam room. Kirsten is just walking in with a towel around her body. Karen: So, I'll give you Richard's number when you get back. He's the best. He did Carol's divorce - she got everything. Julie: (lack lustre) Thanks. That'd be great. Kirsten: (sitting down) Are you really considering a divorce? Julie: Why? You gonna call Jimmy and tell him? Karen: Julie needs to protect herself. Kirsten: I can't believe you're encouraging this, Karen. When your husband got caught with his assistant, no one gave you the number to a divorce attorney. G3: Kirsten, that was very uncalled for. Kirsten: No, what is uncalled for is your five hundred dollars a day coke habit in college. G3: It was just hm year. Tina: What Jimmy did - was wrong. Kirsten: Oh, spare me. You have an entire Guatemalan family cleaning your house for less than minimum wage. (Pause) I have spent this entire weekend, listening to you women judge Jimmy. Yes, he made a mistake, a big one. But life is complicated and none of us is perfect, not even you, Julie. Julie: (scandalized) And what is that supposed to mean? Kirsten: He didn't buy ponies and jewellery for himself. Julie: How interesting that you should take his side. Tina: Uh, shower time. Limo leaves at six. Kirsten: He did all this for you because he wanted to give you everything. And now, you're just going to leave him. Julie: He lied to me, Kirsten. Kirsten: (loudly) You lied to yourself! I know Jimmy. Julie: I know. I've heard. He still has your prom photo up on our wall. Kirsten: (quieting down) It's all in the past. Julie: (getting angrier) Really? You think it's a coincidence that we ended up living next door to you? (Kirsten looks stricken) I'm the one who married him. This is MY problem, not yours. Julie gets up to leaves. Then she stops. Julie: (turning back) Who knew that when he knocked me up that it'd be the best thing that ever happened to you. Julie gives Kirsten one last glare, then leaves. Kirsten looks like she's just been scolded. SCENE 20 At the Cooper house. Marissa is in her room, taking down a picture of Luke and her from a bulletin board of sorts. She's looking at it nostalgically. As she turns, Seth walks into the room, knocking lightly on the door. Marissa: Uh. Hey. Seth: Hey. Uh, your dad let me in. She nods. Seth: He seems like he's doing better. Marissa: (shrugging uncomfortably) Yeah, I guess. Her cell phone rings. Seth: (pointing at the cell) You going to get that? Marissa: Oh, it's probably just Summer calling about another party at Holly's. (picks up the cell phone and turns it off) Seth: Ah yes, another one of those. Marissa: (dumps the phone on her bed, then turns back, crosses her arms in front of her chest and says with fake cheer) So, how did it go with the dancer? Seth: Uhm. Actually, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. (Walks up to her) Last night - was totally my fault. Okay? Ryan was extremely bummed that he didn't get to make his blockbuster night. And I know that you're going through a lot right now and the last thing you needed was to get stood up, so... I apologize. Marissa: Well, that's very... thoughtful. (uncrosses her arms) Seth: Yeah, well. He's pretty mad at me right now. So, why don't you help a brother out? How about another date? (Marissa looks uncertain) Hmm? He's a good cook. But then Marissa smiles shyly. SCENE 21 At the club. Jimmy takes a swing with his golf club at the tee. Jimmy: (looking at his ball take down the fairway) I tell ya. One good swing and I love this game. Sandy: Nice drive. (places his ball) So, I talked to my friend the securities attorney this morning. Jimmy: Working on the weekend. Sandy: Working for you to keep you out of jail. And he's pretty sure he's going to be able to make that happen. Jimmy: Excellent. Sandy: It's contingent on you making full restitution. You're going to lose your series seven license and you'll never be allowed near another investment account. But... little or no jail time. (lines up his sht) Jimmy: So, I got to pay back everything I lost. Sandy: (stands up straight from his swinging position) And even then, there are no guarantees. (Jimmy looks restless) But it's your only option. Jimmy: (pacing) Yeah, well, that's - that's - that's not an option. Where in the hell am I going to find four million dollars? Sandy: Well, your house is valued at three point two, you got two six in equity. That's a good start. Jimmy: You want me to sell my house? Julie will - she'll leave me. Sandy: Julie cares about you and the kids. She's not going to care about giving up the house if it means keeping you. Jimmy: Whose wife are we talking about? (Sandy looks up at him) No. We gotta - We gotta come up with something else. Sandy: This is it. This is a gift. Be grateful. Jimmy: Grateful? Sandy: What - Did you think it was just going to go away? That there were going to be no consequences? You got to get real. Jimmy: Hey! Who are YOU to tell ME to get real? You - You live in a fantasyland. You're married to the richest girl in the county. You live in a house you've never paid for! (gets up in Sandy's face) You get fired? Kirsten wouldn't even notice it! You have no idea what it's like to provide for a family! (turns away angrily) Sandy: I think there's more to providing for a family than money. You want to be there when Marissa graduates? You want to watch Kaitlin grow up? You can start over. You can start a new life. Jimmy: I don't want a new life. I want - I want my old one back. (scoffs) But I guess that's not going to happen, huh? SCENE 22 At the Crab Shack. Ryan is carrying two plates of food out of the kitchen. Ryan: Hey. What's up? Seth: Seth Cohen. Your friendly neighbourhood pimp, at your service. I had a little conversation with Marissa, it's totally handled. (hangs back while Ryan puts down the plates of food) Ryan: (to the girls) I'll be right back with your drinks. (walking back past Seth) What are you talking about? Seth: (following Ryan) Well, it turns out that I'm quite skilled at getting a date, provided it's not for me. You're going to have the house to yourself, she's going to coming over shortly and you will be cooking. Ryan walks to the kitchen. Donnie: (walks up to the register, with more money. To Seth) What's up, man? Seth: Hey. Donnie: What's the, uh... agenda for tonight? Any plans? Seth: Not really. No. Donnie: You know about anything going on? Seth: There's a lame beach party, typical Newport scene. Donnie: You know what, man. We should go. Seth: No. It's not for me. It's going to be a bunch of water polo guys and their girlfriends. Donnie: Yeah. I don't get the whole water polo thing down here. Seth: Nor do I. Just a bunch of dudes who enjoy wearing Speedos. Donnie: I mean, what do these kids know about partying anyway, right? Seth: I couldn't agree more. Donnie: But the girls are hot. (Seth nods) So, with the right attitude and a couple of cocktails, could be fun. If it's not, we'll make it fun. You know, life is what you make it. Seth: (pauses) That's very wise, Donnie. Donnie: Tell you what, man. This is what we're going to do. We're going to go over there, I'm going to call a couple of my boys, we're going to drink their beer, we're going to dance with their honeys, and we're going to have ourselves a good time. They do that fist bumping thing again. Seth: All right. Donnie: All right? Seth: All right. Donnie leaves for the kitchen. Ryan comes up behind Seth and glares at him. Seth: (turning and scoffing lightly) Enough with the whole moody scowl thing. Please. It's not a big deal. Ryan: You're going to take him to a Newport party? Seth: Yeah, exactly. Now it'll be on my turf. (pauses) Actually, I don't really have any turf, but if I had turf - this would be it. And not only that, Summer's going to be there. Ryan: (looking worried) I don't know about this, Seth - Seth: I do, okay? It's fine. It is not a big deal. I promise. Now... you got a date, okay? So, you have to go. (Ryan still looks worried) Make me proud. (Ryan gives up and walks away) Put a sock on the door! SCENE 23 At the Cooper house. Marissa is standing in front of a mirror in her room. She's wearing a very pretty spaghetti-strap dress. Her hair is up, then she decides to take it down. She tries pulling it back, but settles on leaving it down. Cut to the Cohen house. Ryan is working the barbeque as Marissa walks in. She's carrying a Tupperware filled with some yellow stuff. Marissa: Hey! I brought you some leftovers. Ryan: (looking over his shoulder) Should go well with grilled cheese. (Marissa walks up and looks over his shoulder at the food, then smiles happily) My specialty. Marissa: Ooooh. Very fancy. Ryan: Hey... don't knock it till you try it. (puts two sandwiches on a plate) Dinner is served. SCENE 24 At Holly's beach house. The party is in full swing. Donnie walks in with Seth and two of Donnie's friends. There are lots of good looking people dancing and mingling. Summer is there. Seth: Kind of lame right. Donnie: I'm seeing, uh... (leering at some girls walking by) lots of potential here actually. (thumps Seth's chest with his fist) Seth looks very proud of himself. Outside, Luke walking in the sands, pouring his beer dejectedly onto the ground. Holly: (walking out to where Luke is) Hey. Where's Marissa? Luke: She's at home. We're, uh, we're sort of taking a break. Holly: (sidling up real close) You are? (lays a hand on his chest) Are you okay? She tugs at his shirt and then walks away. He's following her with his eyes. She stops after a couple of steps and gives him the 'come-hither' look. He catches a clue then downs the rest of his beer. At the Cohen house. Ryan and Marissa are sitting on the side of the pool (on the ledge). Marissa: Mmm. That was the best grilled cheese ever. (wipes her hands on a napkin) Ryan: Yeah. Well, your mac and cheese was pretty good too. Marissa: (laughing) Yeah. Well, it tasted better last night. Ryan pretends to be hurt. They both laugh. Ryan kicks a beach ball in the water and splashes Marissa slightly. Ryan: Yeah! Marissa: Hey! Ryan splashes her leg. They both laugh. Ryan: But then, hey, we're hanging out, right? Marissa: Yeah. I'm glad. We are. Ryan: So, how are you? With everything. Marissa: I'm okay, I guess. I mean, I still don't know what's going to happen. My parents are fighting all the time. My family's not perfect - not even close - but... I just... don't want us to fall apart. They both fall silent. Ryan then gets up. Ryan: Let's do something fun. You still have fun, right? Marissa: I don't know. Ryan: (leaning up behind her and whispering) What if you don't have a choice? Marissa: (laughing) What does that mean? He grabs her as if he's going to dump her in the water. Marissa: (giggling) No, no! Stop! (he lets her go, she's still laughing) Okay. He picks up their plates and sets them a little ways off. She comes up behind him, still laughing, and tries to push him. Ryan: I'm taking you with me. They both land in the water. She squeals. They're both laughing, playing in the water. Dunking and splashing each other. They have a 'moment' in the water. At Holly's party. Seth picks up a bottle of beer and opens it. Just as he's taking a sip, Donnie is scouting the party and walks by Summer, with interest. Donnie: (to Summer) What's up, girl? You don't like to dance. (gets up in Summer's space) Summer: (backing away slightly) Not with you. She tries to walk away, but Donnie cuts her off. Summer: (unimpressed) I'm trying to get to the bar? She walks around him, but he follows her closely. Donnie: You look fine, you know that? Summer: Good one! But aren't you... like... (to some other people) the busboy? (the other people laugh) Eww. Random. Donnie: (to one of the guys laughing) What's up? Somebody got a problem? Seth: (comes up to Donnie) Hey. Hey. What's going on? Donnie: (looking pissed off) Yo, these kids are mad dogging me. Seth: You know, why don't we go? I'm ready. Donnie: No, I'm ready. (shows him a gn tucked into the waist of his jeans) Yeah, what - that's what I'm saying. (pats Seth on the chest) Life is what you make it. Donnie grabs a beer and saunters away. Seth looks scared/worried. At the Cohen house. Marissa is dripping just inside the pool house. Marissa: (laughing, but hugging herself) Hurry up! I'm freezing. Ryan is wet too. He grabs two towels and walks over to her. Ryan: You've got goose bumps. Marissa: I know! Towel. Ryan wraps one of the towels around her. He's rubbing her arms, trying to warm her up. Ryan: Want a sweatshirt? They are standing very close. Marissa: Now can I borrow one of your tnk tops so I can look as cool as you? Ryan: Oh yeah? (grabs the towel around her and pulls her close so that their foreheads are touching) You want to go back in the pool? She giggles. Then they both turn serious as they have another moment. Just when you think they're about to kiss, the phone rings. Marissa: Do you have to? Ryan: Uh. (looks torn for a moment) One second. Ryan goes to answer the phone. Ryan: (sighs) Hello? Seth is at the party, on a cell phone. Seth: Hey, it's Seth. Your friend Donnie's kind of a psycho. Ryan: Uh. Okay. Not really a good time right now. Seth: Yeah, dude, trust me, I wouldn't be calling up if it wasn't serious. (Donnie and his friends are fooling around in the kitchen) Just take my dad's car and meet me at Holly's. Ryan: (considers this for a moment while looking at Marissa) I'll be right there. (hangs up and turns back to Marissa) Okay. So, that was Seth. Uh, I got to go pick him up. He's at Holly's if you want - Marissa: (shaking her head) I can't go there. Ryan: Right. Okay. So, uh... (walking back to her) Sorry, I... Marissa: (shaking her head) No. It's okay. She gives him back the towel, then leaves. At Holly's party. Holly and Luke are getting hot and heavy in a bedroom upstairs from the party. He's trying to undo her top but without much success. Luke: You have any idea how long I've wanted to do this? Holly: As long as I have? (kissing) Oh, you guys should have broken up a long time ago. Downstairs, Donnie and his friends are having a food fight in the kitchen. Donnie: (to his friend) Chill. Chill! Seriously, relax. (to Seth) What's up, bro? (slaps Seth's hand) You want a drink, man? Seth: No, no, no, no. (watches as Donnie attempts to make a drink) Donnie: You sure. It's - It's vodka. It's very good. I'll do this fli - He tries to flip the bottle but it lands right in front of Seth's feet instead. Upstairs, Holly stops at the sound of breaking glass. Holly: That sounded expensive. Come on. She gets up. Luke is completely baffled. Luke: You go. (rubs his eyes with his fingers) I'll, uh, I'm right behind you. (thumps the bed in frustration, but follows her) Holly walks down and Summer is standing at the bottom of the stairs. They exchange glances. Just then, Donnie's arm connects with a glass blender and falls to the ground, breaking. Holly: That's my blender! Donnie: (seeing Luke walk down the stairs) Yo! Check it out! It's Abercrombie! Or - or are you Fitch? Luke: Jackass. What's your problem? Donnie: You. They walk up thrat to each other. Seth steps in and stops Luke. Seth: Uh, er, Luke. You really don't want to - Luke: (pushing Seth away angrily) Shut up, Cohen! How did you get in here anyway? (standing directly in front of Donnie) Look, I don't know who you are, but you best be leaving. Donnie: Or what? What you going to do to me? (lunges forward thrat) What? You afraid I'm going to mess up your hair? Ryan: (rushing in) Donnie! What's up? Donnie: Hey, what's up, Ryan? (They clasp hands in greeting) Luke: Should have figured this chump was a friend of yours. Why don't you just take him back to the trailer park? Seth: (grabbing Ryan) We should go. Donnie: What did you say to me? (gets up in Luke's face) Luke: All right. (shoves Donnie hard) Let's go! Ryan: (steps in to stop Luke) Hey, hey! Donnie: You're done! (whips out his gn, people scream and flee the room) What's up now? Who's the tough guy now? How much do you hate this kid, Ryan? The way he talks to you like you're trash. What about you, Seth? Seth: (putting an arm out to 'protect' Summer) Yeah, he's definitely flawed. Luke: I'm - I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Donnie: Oh. Look at the role reversal now. Huh. Who's the bitch, huh? Ryan: You scared him. Put it down, all right? Donnie: (to Ryan) Man, I'm just trying to have a good time. You know what I'm saying? Trying to have fun at this party. (to his friends) Yo, you boys having fun? Ryan lunges for the gn. They're struggling. The gn falls to the ground and goes off. Donnie: What's the matter with you, man? I was just messing around. Summer screams. Luke is on the ground, his arm is bleeding. Summer: Oh my God! One of Donnie's friends: Yo, yo, we got to go. Let's go. Donnie and his friends leave. Summer: (rushes over to Luke) Oh my God. (to everyone else) Call an ambulance! Ryan: (crouches down and tries to help stop the blood flow; whispers) You're going to be okay. Summer: Somebody! In the background, they're talking about calling 911 and finding the phone. SCENE 25 A limo pulls up. Inside are Tina, Kirsten and Julie. Tina: I guess this is me. Well, thanks for a relaxing weekend, ladies. I'm off to f*re my cleaning lady. (everyone looks uncomfortable) Okay. See you at spinning. Kirsten: Bye, Tina. Tina leaves. Julie and Kirsten sit uncomfortably at opposite ends of the seat. Kirsten stares out the window. Julie: (clears her throat) Is it warm in here? (turning on the intercom) Could you turn the air on, please? Kirsten: I'm sorry if I upset you. It wasn't my place. Julie nods. Kirsten looks back out the window. Julie: (looking straight ahead) I remember as a kid if I saw a limousine driving, I always tried to see through the tinted window, wondering what kind of life the people inside lived. How glamorous looking. Who knew, right? (pauses) You knew. You were probably in there staring back at me. Which means I've been jealous of you since I was eight. When I met Jimmy, I had nothing, no money. I don't want to go back to being nothing again. Kirsten: You won't. You have a family. You have Jimmy. He loves you. Julie: (turning to Kirsten) Not as much as he loved you. (Kirsten doesn't know what to say) But I knew that when I married him. I was winning the lottery. Great guy, great life. And he was doing the honourable thing. Kirsten: It's your turn Julie. Don't abandon him. SCENE 26 At the hospital. Seth is talking to a cop. Ryan is on the phone. Ryan: Hey. It's me. Yeah, no, uhm.

Teaser Seth : The plan is undeniable. Ryan : I'm denying it. Seth : We have my mom's ranger, we have a perfect alibi as i go to this comic book convention every year and we also have my entire life never doing anything wrong. Which completely allows my parents to give a false sense of trust. Ryan : And you want to give that all away for Summer in a wet t-shirt doing body shts. Seth : (pause) Sorry, i thought that was a rhetorical question. Yes, Ryan, yes. On the last weekend before school, one goes to Tijuana, it is tradition, it is a right of passage, and you know what else? What happens in Mexico, stays in Mexico. Ryan : What happens in Mexico? Seth : I don't know, because it stays there, that's why we must go. Ryan : ahh.. I don't know about lying to your parents. Seth : Okay, i can respect that. I will lie to them. Ryan : Why can't we just go to Comic-con? Seth : Okay, Comic-gon is just a bunch of pathetic virgins ogling some prn star dressed as Cat Woman. Ryan : I thought you went every year. Seth : (bites lip) Listen, Tijuana's a big town, i bet you won't even see Marissa. Ryan : I don't care about seeing Marissa or not seeing Marissa. Seth : Okay, therefore you should have no problem coming to Mexico. Ryan : Well, won't you be hanging out with Summer? Seth : No, because she'll probably be shacked up with Luke. (pause) Seth : Yeah, I'm sorry. That's probably a bit painful. (sandy enters kitchen) Sandy : Hey ya, fellas. You all excited about Comic-con? Seth's been going since he was ten. It's the highlight of his year. Seth : Thanks, highlight's a bit overstated. Check you out, big pimpin'. Sandy : Yeah, I got a meeting with a private law firm today. Ryan : Why, you suing one of their clients? Sandy : No, it's a job interview. (kirsten enters kitchen, opens refridgerator) Kirsten : Which he'll never take. They like to flatter him every once in awhile. Sandy : But i go for the free meal. Ryan : But I mean, you'll still be a public defender, right? Kirsten : After 15 years? There's no way he's selling out. Sandy : Well, it'd have to be one hell of a free meal. Seth : And that's what they call a call-back in comedy, Ryan. Sandy : So, how soon until you two are leaving on your trip ? Seth : I don't know. (looks at Ryan) How soon? Ryan : Tomorrow. Seth : Don't you mean El maf1'f1'61f0 na?

Ryan : (reads from book) "May i please see a lady's worsted nylon bathing suit?" Seth : (nods head) Yeap, but did you know that one? Ryan : What's this? (takes out some brown piece of paper) Seth : Our iteninary for our trip. Ryan : Seth, it's over 12 pages long, we're going for two days. Seth : Right.

I'm sure she'll be able to help you find something. Jimmy : Thanks, you know. Yeah, thank you. Kirsten : So, how did the girls take the news? Jimmy : Well, uh. Julie and i decided to uh, table that conversation until Monday. Kirsten : You haven't told them yet? Jimmy : Julie's at her mom's with Caitlin and Marissa's going to Mexico this weekend so, we thought'd it'd be easier, cleaner if we did it that way. They come back i'm gone, and then we tell them. Kirsten : I'm not so sure about this. Jimmy : sighs well, Neither am i but, the thought of having them watch me pack up my life, move out, it's hard enough as it is. I'd never thought i'd be that guy that, sighs that divorced guy. (cut to Marissa and Luke making out). Luke : When we go to Tijuana, it's going to be so romantic. Marissa : It's kind of gross there. Luke : So what, we won't leave the hotel room. Marissa : I don't know. Luke : It'll be way better the second time. Marissa : No, i mean i don't know about Mexico. TJ.

Seth : HEY, do not insult Death Cab. Summer : It's like one guitar and a whole lot of complaining. Seth : This reminds me of someone else who's doing a whole lot of complaining, Summer. YOU. Listen to me, I am driving this vehicle, and i will drive at the speed i feel comfortable, okay? It's my music, it's my snacks- Summer : Kudos and goldfish? what are you, 8?

Ryan : Because you walked in on me with another girl? Marissa : Actually, i think she was a woman. But why would i care about that? Ryan : I don't know. shouldn't be a problem Marissa : There's no problem. Ryan : Cept' ding dongs or cheese sticks. Marissa : I don't care, Ryan. I don't care about cheese sticks, i don't care about ding dongs and i really don't care that i walked in on you with some girl, or woman, whatever.

Summer : Trouser it, Cohen. It's too early for your so called comedy. Seth : You enjoy my comedy. Summer : raises eyebrows Seth : You know what else i think you enjoy? Me. Summer : Well, that's because you're mentlly unstable. Seth : Be that as it may, i think that facts speak for themselves. May i remind you of a little something I'd like to call, the time you kissed me by the pool at my grandfather's birthday party. Summer : What're you talking about? Seth : okay, i know that denial is a very powerful coping mechanism. But i just think Summer, that it's time that we paid lip service to our lip service. Summer : Two words: no tongue. Seth : Well, you did agree to take this little trip down to mexico. Summer : I needed a ride. Seth : We shared the same bed.

Summer : Or in case, i might smother you with a pillow while you're sleeping. Seth : Whatever turns you on. Marissa : So everyone is probably at Boom Boom. Summer : Oh , just let me run into the pharmacy. You can get whatever you want without a prescription. I need to make a pitstop for my stepmom. I guess she's already taking all the painkillers available in Orange County. Seth : I should probably pop in and get me some antihistamine...for me, allergies. Marissa : (talking to ryan) You know, you don't have to come with us, if you don't want. Cuz' you know, i'm going to go find Luke. Ryan : It's okay, really. It's fine.

Rachel : And yours is...I'm drawing a blank here. both chuckle Rachel : Look, the partners are pulling the offer first thing in the morning, unless they hear from you. Sandy : well, tell them thank you very much for the surfboard, however, it did kind of freak out my wife a little bit. You had her believing that I was actually considering this job. Rachel : Which you are. Sandy : Nah. Rachel : As much as i like to flatter myself. and think you're here for the sparkling banter and crabcakes, i know you're interested. Sandy : It's not gonna happen, Rachel. I've been in the PD's office my whole life. It's what i do Rachel : And i'm giving you a platform to do it better. Sandy : The sand dabs are great here. Rachel : Don't you want to see what will happen if you really tested yourself? Not just one more overworked, underpaid ADA? Sandy : I always loved being you. Rachel : You know why?

I'm just concerned that he hasn't had, adequate preparation for the rigors of our curriculum Kirsten: Or are you concerned about the pressure from parents who don't want Ryan here (Dr Kim looks suprised at what Kirsten said. Ryan looks impressed) Dr Kim: That's definitely a consideration, but not a decisive one (Kirsten rolls her eyes) Kirsten you know as well as I do how bright and motivated our students are. those that aren't bred for USC go off to Harvard and Yale. I just think a place like Newport union might be a better fit for a student with Ryan's background Ryan: My background?

Julie: You're the one who destroyed this family Jimmy, you lied to us, you stole money from your clients and your friends. Why do you think she took all those pills? Jimmy: (scoffs, whispers) You cannot honestly believe that Julie: I left her in your care for one weekend and look what happened...which is why I'm asking the judge for sole custody (Jimmy looks shocked, a close up of a shocked Marissa is shown) Jimmy: Julie, come on, you can't Julie: Getting the girls away from you is my only chance to give them back some semblance of a life, and if you fight me on this I'll take you to court and you'll be lucky if you even get supervised visitation Jimmy: Yeah well you're gonna have to because (whispers) I am not giving up my kids Julie: You may not have a choice (off screen - a close up of Marissa with her eyes closed, and a tear rolling down her face) I'm going back to check on Caitlyn and the sitter.

Dr Kim is right (walking out) I'm not Harbor school material (Seth now looks frustrated) CUT TO: Marissa's hospital room - Marissa is sitting up in bed, and Ryan knocks, Marissa smiles when she sees him and he walks in with flowers and sits next to her bed Ryan: Hey Marissa: Hi!

Scene opens to Seth staring at Ryan intently, holding up a candy cane and a menorah. Seth: So, what's it going to be, huh? You want your menorah or a candy cane, hmm? Christmas or Hanukkah? Ryan: Um… I'm not- Seth: Ah! Don't worry about it buddy, because in this house, you don't have to choose. Allow me to introduce to you a little something that I like to call… Chrismukkah. Ryan: Chrismukkah? Seth: That's right. It's the new holiday, Ryan, and it's sweeping the nation. Sandy and Kirsten walk in, carrying a Christmas tree. Sandy: Hey fellows. We go the tree. Seth: Or atleast the living room. Sandy: Guys, a little help? Ryan walks over to help Sandy. Seth: I saved a spot for you right there. Put your muscle into it. Excellent. To the right a little. To the right, don't hurt it. Those needles are brittle. That's perfect. (Starts clapping) You guys… you guys… "A+". "A+". I love the holidays. I love them all. Kirsten: We didn't really know how to raise Seth. Seth: Yeah, so I raised myself, and in doing so, I created the greatest super holiday known to mankind, drawing on the best that Christianity and Judaism have to offer. Ryan: And you call it Chrismukkah. Seth: (He gasps) Just hearing you say it makes me feel all festive. Allow me to elaborate. He walks over to Sandy. Seth: You see, for my father here, a poor struggling Jew growing up in the Bronx, well, Christmas meant Chinese food and a movie. He now walks over to Kirsten. Seth: And for my mom over here – WASPy McWASP – well, it meant a tree, it meant stockings and all the trimmings. Isn't that right? Sandy: We're very proud. Kirsten: I'm not a WASP. Seth: Sure, you're not. Other highlights include eight days of presents followed by one day of many presents. So, what do you think? Ryan: Uh, sounds great for you guys. Sandy: For you, too. Seth: Hey, dip a toe in the Chrismukkah pool. There's room for all of us. Kirsten: Isn't there something in the Atwood family tradition that you would like to incorporate into Seth's uber holiday? Ryan: Atwood and holidays is not a good combination. Sandy: What did you guys do? Ryan: No, seriously, thanks, but uh… Seth: Come on, man. There's got to be something. Ryan: My holiday memories pretty much consist of my mom drunk and me getting my ass kicked. Seth and Kirsten fall silent. Sandy: Well, this year will be entirely different. Kirsten: New memories. It'll be great. Ryan: Yeah. Well, whatever you want me to do, I'll do. Seth: That's the spirit. Come here. Seth holds his arms open for a hug as Ryan walks right past him. Seth: Oy, humbug. Kirsten: It's a big holiday for anyone. Sandy: Yeah, I'm still wrapping my head around it. Just give him some time. Kirsten: Why don't we trim the tree? Seth: You know what, you guys? Soon, Ryan will learn the magic of Chrismukkah. Worry not. I will convert him. Seth closes his eyes and rings a little bell. Opening credits. ~~~~~~* Open to Seth sitting on a bed in the pool house, surrounded by wrapping paper and other things. Ryan walks in. Ryan: I was in the shower for five minutes. How did this place turn into Santa's workshop? Seth: I see someone took down the wreath I hung on the door. Ryan: It fell. What are you wrapping? Seth: Two Seth Cohen starter packs. We got Death cab, we got Bright Eyes, we got The Shins, we got Cavelier and Klay, and we got Goonies. It's not just for kids, Ryan. It's not. I don't care what they tell you. Summer and Anna are going to love them both equally. Ryan: You're getting Summer and Anna the same thing? Seth: Yes, I am. Sometimes I'm so crafty, I surprise myself. Ryan: No good can come of this. You know that, right? Seth: Uh, nope, I don't. Ryan: You're going to have to choose, man. Seth: Hey, not on Chrismukkah I don't, okay? There's no choosing in Chrismukkah. Ryan: Well, you didn't get me anything, right? Seth: No. Seth turns away from Ryan and starts whistling tunelessly. Ryan gives him a look. Seth: Come on, man. Lighten up. Ryan continues to look at him. Seth: Okay, fine. Stay dark. Dark works, too. ~~~~~~* Kirsten is writing on a notepad in the kitchen as Ryan and Seth walk in, the latter of the two whistling. Kirsten: Oh, Ryan, what is your show size? Ryan: Why? Kirsten: No reason. Seth: Mother, might that be a Chrismukkah list? Kirsten: No. Why do you ask? Seth: Okay. Let me just see it then, real fast. Kirsten: It's work. Seth: Okay, I love your work. It fascinates me. Ryan: I thought you guys said no gifts. Kirsten: Well, we did, as in no gifts for us. Sandy walks in, having just finished talking on his cell phone. Sandy: Well, Chrismukkah's ruined. Seth: Ah! Don't even say it, man. Come on. Chrismukkah is unruinable. It's got twice the resistance of any normal holiday. Sandy: Your father just refused out latest settlement offer. He wants to go to trial. Kirsten: That's not what he said yesterday. He said that if you met his offer… Sandy: Yeah, well as of this morning, Ebenezer Scrooge decides he wants to go to court, which means I'm going to have to spend the holidays going through file boxes and preparing for trail. With Rachel out of town… Kirsten: Chrismukkah is ruined. Sooner or later, we will get through a holiday around here. Seth: Stop it, right now, okay? Don't give up on the miracle that is Chrismukkah. What is happening to you…? You'll see. You'll see, too. You'll all see. You'll all see. He sips at his drink. Ryan: You're really starting to scare me. Seth: I'm okay with that. ~~~~~~* Jimmy comes bounding down the stairs to where Marissa is in the living room. Jimmy: Okey dokey, here we go. Which tie? What are you thinking? This one? All right? Or… He holds each tie up to him. Marissa: Uh, the second one, definitely. Jimmy: All right. He starts to put on the tie. Marissa: So, you have a job interview today? Jimmy: Well, it's just a meet-and-greet. Who knows what will come of it, but we've got to dress for success, right? Look, I'm working on it, kiddo. I'll find a job. I know there's a lot of extra pressure around the holidays. Marissa: There doesn't have to be any extra pressure because there doesn't have to be any holidays. Really. Jimmy: What are you talking about? Marissa: We can skip Christmas. I mean, it's not like it's not going to happen again next year, and holidays just make people depressed. Jimmy: Are you? Depressed? I mean you were supposed to go to therapy after Mexico, and you never really… Marissa: I'm great. I'm just saying. Jimmy: Ok, good, because we're not skipping Christmas. Come on. I'm going to find a job, we're going to figure out a way to make this whole thing work, and we're going to have lots to celebrate about, okay? Come on, skipping Christmas. You sure about this tie? Marissa: Yeah, definitely. You look great. He walks upstairs. Jimmy: Skipping Christmas – what are you, the Grinch? ~~~~~~* Ryan and Seth are walking through the halls of school together. Ryan: So, Summer and Anna are both coming to this party. Seth: Yeah, but neither one's my date. Ryan: And they know? Seth: Oh yeah. They both know that. Come on, man, relax. Look, it's a big party, okay? You might be all doom and gloom, but me, check it out: I'm snowflakes. I'm latkes. Chrismukkah is coming. Ryan: And when Chrismukkah ends? Seth: (He gasps) I hate when Chrismukkah ends. Summer: Cohen. Hi, Ryan. Um, I wanted to know what the deal was for tonight – if you were driving… Anna: Hey, Seth. So, what time are you thinking for tonight? (She sees Summer.) Oh. Hey, Summer. Summer: Hey, Anna. Seth: You guys. I was thinking we should all probably meet there. How about that? At whatever time you so choose to get there, by whatever means. Summer: Sounds great. Anna: Yeah, perfect. Both girls walk away. Ryan: You better pray for a Chrismukkah miracle. Ryan walks away. Seth: I've got Jesus and Moses on my side, man. ~~~~~~* We look down from the top of a white Christmas tree to see Julie standing by. Caleb's house. Julie is giving the guys orders on how the tree should look when Kirsten walks up to stand beside her. Julie: Hey, Kirsten. What do you think? Kirsten: It's really something. Julie: You don't like it? Kirsten: It's not that. It's just that… my mom used to put the Christmas tree in the foyer. It's just a tradition that we have. Julie: Yeah, Caleb told me. But then I thought you know what? The holidays are hard enough. Your father doesn't need to be reminded of the past. Caleb needs to enjoy this Christmas. Oh, and did Caleb tell you we need to borrow your office? We're doing the Santa thing for the kids, and we need a holding area for the elves. What are you doing here? Your father said you were working from home. Kirsten: He did? He's just full of surprises. She walks away. ~~~~~~* Caleb and Kirsten walk into a room. Caleb: I changed my mind. If the land trust can come up with $200 million, then surely they can come up with $300 million. Kirsten: I just… I thought this was over. Caleb: You can always get a little more blood out of the stone. Kirsten: But the stone is my husband. Caleb: Well, I was thinking we could spend the holidays working. Kirsten: That sounds good. You have fun. Caleb: What are you talking about? Kirsten: I'm going to do something that I haven't done in… ever. I'm taking Christmas vacation. Caleb: Don't be ridiculous, Kiki. You hate sitting around the house. Kirsten: Well, not as much as I hate fighting with you. So you spend the next two weeks buried in legal documents. I'm going to be wrapping gifts. ~~~~~~* Marissa and Ryan walk through a hall at school, up to Marissa's locker. Marissa: I hate Christmas. Ryan: Yeah, well Christmukkah's not much better. You don't want to know. Yeah, but holidays make what's bad even worse. Marissa: I just wish my dad would drop the act. I don't need it. And I don't need Christmas. Ryan: Who do you have to spend it with? Marissa: Christmas Eve with my dad, Christmas day with my mom. Plus, she's making me go to this stupid Newport Group holiday party tonight. Ryan: The Cohen's are going too, so… Marissa: So, at least we'll be miserable together. Ryan: Deal? Marissa: Deal. So, am I seeing you after school? Ryan: I got some stuff to do… some shopping. South Coast Plaza. Marissa: You're going to South Coast Plaza? Alone? I don't think you're ready for that. No, I think you need a seasoned expert to protect you. Ryan: Well, you know someone? ~~~~~~* Marissa and Ryan travel up the escalator and they make their way around the mall, going into various shops. Marissa tries on lipstick and shoes, while Ryan looks at a watch at the glass counter. Ryan: So no luck, huh? Marissa: There's a 99-cent store down the street. I guess I can't really afford this place anymore. Ryan: Then why did we come? Marissa: I know it sounds stupid, but I like it here. Everything is so perfect. You walk around feeling like all your problems can be solved by the right nail polish or a new pair of shoes. ~~~~~~* Marissa and Ryan walk through the parking garage to Marissa's car. When she gets to the driver's side, a security guard grabs her arm. Guard: Miss. I'm going to have to ask to see your purse. Ryan: What are you doing? Guard: I can't let you leave the premises. If you don't hand over your purse right now, you'll give me no choice but to call the police. Ryan: Why don't you just back off, all right? Marissa: Ryan, it's okay. Ryan: No, it's not. Guard: Your purse. Now. She slowly hands her purse to him. He empties it out on the hood of her car, and a cell phone, watch, earrings, and a few other things fall out. Ryan looks to Marissa, who nervously looks back at him. ~~~~~~* Two presents sit on the table in front of Kirsten, who is looking over some papers from work. Seth: Hey, what are you doing? Working from home? Kirsten: I'm on vacation. Seth: Ah, yes, clearly. Kirsten: I find reviewing end-of-the-year accounts to be very relaxing. Seth: I hope that's a recessive gene. Kirsten: You should be so lucky. Look, I haven't taken a vacation in a while, and I'm… easing into it. Seth: Oh, yeah. I don't judge, okay? I only mock. Kirsten: That you get from your father. Seth: Oh, my God. They're coming in? He checks his eyebrows. Seth: Oh, that's… I got you. (He sees the presents) What are those? Kirsten: They came for Ryan from his mom and his brother. Seth: You know what he said about the holidays? When he talks like that, I have… I have no idea what to say. Kirsten: Me, neither. You just have to be yourself. Seth: Yeah, ‘cause that always works so well. Kirsten: Well, being a family is hard under any circumstance. Creating a new one —that's got to feel weird sometimes. Seth: Well, feeling weird is right in my… Kirsten studies something on a sheet of paper. Seth: What? What is it? Is Grandpa going crazy with the company credit card again? What is it this time? Hookers? A little blow, perhaps? Grandpa likes to dance with you, white lady. Kirsten: (Smiling) What are you talking about? Seth: I don't know. What is it? Kirsten: Hopefully, it's nothing. You should go get ready, ‘cause we have to be there soon. Seth: I'll go put on my face. He walks away. Kirsten takes out her phone and dials a number. Kirsten: Hi. This is Kirsten Cohen from the Newport Group. My father ordered a survey of the Balboa Heights, and I've lost my copy, and I really need to see the document, so I'm wondering if it's possible for you to fax it over to me. ~~~~~~* Jimmy and Marissa are sitting in their living room, talking. Julie walks through the front door, angry. Julie: I cannot believe this. Marissa. Jimmy: Julie. Julie: Look, I have to host the most important event of my professional career tonight. Jimmy: Well, atleast your priorities are in order. Julie: You know, it's amazing how all these calamities keep happening under your watch, Jimmy. Jimmy: Oh, so I'm to blame for this one, too? Julie: Where do you think she learned to steal? Marissa: Okay, stop it. I'm the one who stole, remember? I'm the one to blame, not Dad. Jimmy: Look, we're lucky the store is not pressing charges. Okay? Now, Marissa and I were just trying to decide what an appropriate punishment… Julie: Oh, really? Well, way to rule with the iron fist, Stalin, but it's not up to her. No car, no allowance, no weekends. Marissa: So I can stay home tonight? Julie: Starting tomorrow. I won't have my party ruined by your little sticky fingers. Look, sweetie, I know that this time of year makes everything bad seem worse, but why did you do this? Marissa: I thought it would be… Look, I wasn't… it was stupid. Julie: Well, I called the therapist on the way over here. Marissa: Mom. Jimmy: She's right, kiddo. Therapy was part of the deal of you moving in here. Marissa: Okay, look, I've been doing way better since Mexico. 4.0 first quarter, Charity League, Social Chair… Julie: I've scheduled you an appointment tomorrow morning with Dr. Milano. He's supposed to be great. Marissa: I'm sorry, but I can handle it. This. I… I won't do it again, I promise. Julie: Honey, I love you. But I don't believe you. Jimmy: You might actually find it helpful. Marissa: Yeah. Whatever. I need to get ready. She walks toward the stairs. Marissa: And Mom, you have your big party to throw. I'm sure you don't want to keep Caleb waiting. She goes upstairs. ~~~~~~~ Seth knocks on the door of the pool house, where Ryan is just finishing getting dressed. Seth: Hey. What's up, man? You're back. So, that's pretty cool, right? Your mom and brother got you something. Ryan: Yeah, except now I have a total of eight gifts to buy, and I only saved enough for one. Seth: Ryan, that sort of reminds me of the story of Hanukkah, dude. Check it out. The lamp. You know what? I think you get the gist. How was the mall? Ryan: Weird. Seth: Yes. You've really painted a picture for me. I feel like I was there. Ryan: Marissa picked up a few things without paying for them. Seth: What, as in… Ryan: Shoplifting. Seth's mouth opens in shock. Ryan: Yeah. Seth: Yeah, that's weird. Ryan: It's that time of year, and with everything that's going on with her family… Seth: Yeah, no, no. I'm sure it's got to be hard for her. Ryan: Yeah. I just wish there was something I could do or say. Seth: Um… Oh, I got you something. Ryan: No, no, no. We had an agreement. Seth: Yeah, but this is different. This is a requirement. Seth pulls out a red stocking with Ryan's name on it in white letters. Seth: I know, it's a bit minty, but uh… you know, we all have one, so we just thought... Ryan: No. That's cool. Seth: Well, good. Maybe it'll meet a kinder fate than your wreath did, but if not, we still wanted you to have it. Ryan: (Smiling slightly) Thanks. Seth: All right. I'm going to go make magic happen. I feel like my hair is working for me tonight. Seth leaves the room as Ryan continues to stare at his stocking. ~~~~~~* Kirsten is sitting at a desk in her bedroom, with a sheet of paper and a flute of champagne before her. She's already dressed for the party as Sandy comes jogging in. Sandy: I'm late. I know, I know. I'll hurry. He kisses her on the forehead and proceeds to get dressed for the party himself. Sandy: So, you're not going to believe this, but your father and I reached a settlement today. He gouged me a little. Well, you know, he gouged me a lot. Kirsten: He asked you for more money? Sandy: Oh, just $250 million. But we closed the deal, and he claims that he did it because of you. Kirsten: Is that what he told you? Sandy: And it seems your little vacation today really ht him hard. Because he says he wants to spend the holidays as a family. You know, maybe… maybe he's changing. Or maybe he is a truly fantastic liar. What's wrong? Kirsten: I found something today. And I don't know if I can give it to you, but I don't know if I can't. Sandy: Okay, well… Kirsten: He's going to know that I gave this to you. And he's going to have every right to fre me. She pushes the paper closer to him and he takes it and reads it. Sandy: You have got to be kidding me. This changes everything. Kirsten: And I'm going to have to learn how to relax, because I'm going to have a lot of free time. Sandy: I'm sorry, honey. Kirsten: Not as sorry as he's going to be. Sandy: You still want to go to the party? Kirsten: I wouldn't miss it for the world. She leaves as he sits down and stares at the paper. ~~~~~~* Seth comes down the stairs as the doorbell rings. He answers it. Seth: Anna. Hey. Anna: Mistletoe. She holds up a piece of mistletoe and kisses him on the cheek. Seth: Oh. Oh, that's very festive of you. Uh, I thought we were meeting there. I'm going with my parents. Anna: Well, I was thinking maybe we could go together. Seth: I would love to do that. You know I would. But don't you think that would violate our little Geneva Convention of dating we have going on? ‘Cause I told Summer that, you know, I'd meet both of you there. Anna: Well, how is Summer ever going to know? The doorbell rings again and Seth answers it. Summer: Mistletoe. What is she doing here? Anna: What are you doing here? Summer: I thought we had a deal, Cohen. Anna: Which you clearly violated. Summer: As did you. Seth: She's got a point. Anna: You're on her side? Seth: No. There are no sides, you guys. There's only um… rides with my parents. We'll all go together. Hmm? Anna: Fine. Summer: Fine. ~~~~~~* Seth, Summer, and Anna all sit on the couch, Seth stuck in the middle, all three clearly uncomfortable. Anna: So, I have a gift for you. I'll give it to you later. Summer: I have a present for you, too, also. I'll give it to you later. Seth: (To Summer) I can't wait. (To Anna) For either. (To Summer) For both. Sandy: Seth, you ready? Come on. Let's go. Sandy and Kirsten walk in to see the three on the couch. Kirsten: Hi, Summer. Anna. Sandy: Ladies. (To Kirsten) Oh, this is going to be some party. Kirsten: Mm-hmm. ~~~~~~* Ryan is standing behind Marissa, helping her with her necklace. Ryan: You know, maybe this is not such a bad idea. Marissa: What does that mean? Ryan: It'll be good to have someone to talk to. Marissa: You're someone. I can't talk to you? Ryan: You can talk to me. It's just… Marissa: What? I need the help of a trained professional because I stole a lipstick? Ryan: It's not about the lipstick. Marissa: Well, I guess I don't really see what it's about. Ryan: I guess you do what you want. Marissa: I will. If no one's making my parents go to therapy, then no one's making me. You know, I'm the only normal one in this family. Sorry. Hey, you know, I think I left my wrap upstairs. Could you grab it for me? I just need to grab my purse. Ryan: Sure. He leaves to get her wrap. She goes into a cabinet and takes a bottle of alcohol out, stuffing it into her purse. ~~~~~~* Sandy, Kirsten, Seth, Anna, and Summer make their way into the party. Sandy and Kirsten leave to go talk to someone they know as a server walks up. Server: Mushroom-leek crescent? Crab and brie phyllo? Seth: Come on, buddy. Change it up a little bit. Server: Enjoy the party. The server walks away. Anna: Come on, Seth. I'm going this way. Seth: Oh. Summer: Oh, well, I'm going this way. She points in the opposite direction as Anna. Seth: Oh, you guys are? I'm going to go look for Ryan. Seth walks forward and away from the girls. Summer and Anna scoff at each other and walk away. ~~~~~~* Julie: Kirsten. Sandy. Welcome. Caleb: Hey, Kiki. Kirsten: Hey. Caleb: Good to see you. Did Simon give you our good news? Kirsten: He did. Sandy: I actually need to follow up on a few things with you, Cal. If you don't mind… Caleb: Come, Sanford. It's a party. Think back on your Berkley days. Maybe you can smoke the tree. Caleb walks away. Sandy: (He chuckles) Smoke the tree. Funny. I'm going to nail him now. Kirsten: Uh-huh. Sandy walks off toward Caleb. Julie: So, what do you think? Kirsten: About? Julie: The party. You haven't said anything. Do you like it? I mean, I know how you feel about the tree, but if you can get past that… Kirsten: It's great. Julie: And what did Caleb think? I mean, has he said anything to you? Kirsten: I haven't had a chance to talk to him. Julie: I just want this to be a party that he'll never forget. Kirsten: I think you have a sht. Kirsten walks away. CUT TO: Marissa standing by herself, Ryan walks over and joins her Ryan: you ok? Marissa: yeah, why?

Opening scene - We open on an aerial view of the water, then the houses. We are now in the Cohen kitchen. Hailey is sitting at the dining room table with ear phones in her ears moving along to the music. In front of her she has a full glass of juice and bagels on a plate. Sandy comes in patting his stomach, he goes to the empty basket that the bagels came out of, then glares at Hailey, not impressed. Of course Hailey is obliviously eating the bagel. Ryan now comes in, he pats Sandy on the chest as he walks passed, and Sandy tips the basket out, hopeful! Ryan goes to the cupboard and grabs a glass, he then goes to the fridge and pulls out the carton of juice, he brings it to the counter and pours it into his glass, 1/4 of a glass comes out if that! Ryan glares at Hailey who of course is drinking from her big glass. Sandy has given up on the bagels and pours himself a cup of coffee. Seth now comes in, he picks up the paper that is sitting on the counter. he goes through it clearly looking for a certain part, he looks over at Hailey who has the section that he wanted. he throws it down in frustration. Kirsten now enters, the 3 guys are all glaring at Hailey now. Kirsten comes and stands with them, she picks up the empty basket and looks at Hailey, who is still oblivious to them all glaring at her. Kirsten puts her hands on her hips. the 4 of them walk out of the kitchen Sandy: she's eatin us outta house an home Kirsten: (whispers) Sandy it's just a bagel Sandy: no-no-no it's never just a bagel Seth: mom as someone who's basically just ben a shut in for the last seventeen years of his life I can pretty much say with great authority (points) that that woman never leaves the house Kirsten: she's got nowhere else to go Ryan: that's because all her friends wanna kick her ass, sorry about the language Sandy: why?

Kirsten is taking the sheets off of Ryan's bed, she gathers them together then holds them close to her ~ we are now back with Ryan in the car, he looks out at the water. Theresa looks at him then he looks at her ~ we are now back with Seth on the water ~ we are now back in the pool house with Kirsten, she is crying and sits down on the bed, she's still holding the sheets in her arms. we see a close up of her face, she closes her eyes and just loses it, she puts her hand over her mouth. in the background we see Sandy come in the door ~ back with Marissa on the balcony, she has a bottle of alcohol in her hand, she takes the lid off and takes a big gulp from it, she puts her hand over her mouth and swallows, she closes her eyes then looks out to the ocean. the camera zooms out so that we can see how little she looks compared to the great big house, she looks trapped there ~ we see a distant sht of Seth sailing, which fades to Kirsten in the pool house still upset, she takes a deep breath in then puts her head down, crying. she just looks so devastated. she puts her head on Sandy's shoulder, Sandy strokes her head. Sandy isn't crying but you can tell he is just as devastated, we fade to Ryan still in the car, we see him through the window, and reflected in the window is the sun setting we fade from that to Seth sailing, we can see nothing but water so we know he is no where near home. Seth gets further and further away until finally the screen goes black)	{"type": "series", "show": "The O.C.", "episode": "01x27 - The Ties that Bind"}	foreverdreaming

Julie begins laughing then runs her hand from his shoulder, down past his butt, and pats twice) Kirsten: oh god she just grazed an ass (drinks) Jimmy: oh the not so subtle ass graze, yeah i've ben a victim of it myself (Kirsten looks at him) don't worry about it, she's shmoozing the crowd at a cock tail party Kirsten: (worried) this is our star clientele, dy'know how many years of wooing an cajoling it took to have a meeting with these people Jimmy: this is the woman who came from Riverside to become head Newpsie then landed Newport's biggest tycoon an took over his company, she knows what she's doin (Kirsten smiles and looks back over at Julie, Julie is still laughing and flirting with the men) CUT TO: The Bait shop - we see Summer and Zach sitting together, Summer is looking over at Seth and Lindsay. Summer doesn't look like she's enjoying herself. Seth says something to Lindsay which I think was 'judging, judging, judging Summer: ten bucks says Cohen is bending that poor girls ear about (Marissa looks at her, then drinks her drink) Superman or Batman or something man in a unitard (Zach looks at her, unimpressed) that she doesn't give a crap about, y'know what, I should stop him (Marissa looks at her) for her sake Marissa: (unconvinced) ah-huh, well that sounds like its coming from a really...generous place (Summer gives Marissa a 'what would you know' look) Zach: or we could just put the Cohen obsession on hold and watch the band Summer: (offended) I am not obsessing Zach: the seething, the staring, the analysing of his outfit, that's not obsessing? Summer: what? that shirt totally accentuates his bird arms Marissa: I think this is the part where I go to the bathroom... (Marissa gets up and we then see her making her way through the crowd, she stops and looks over at Ryan and Alex who are standing together. neither looks like they are enjoying themselves, Marissa keeps walking then Ryan looks over towards Seth and Lindsay at the bar. Lindsay looks over towards Ryan, and Alex notices.

Caleb hands it to the woman and she puts it in her bag, she gets into her car and Caleb walks away. Sandy watches the woman drive away, and we see the number plate of her car is 1491 PCE (sound familiar? ) Sandy looks at his watch, we then go to Caleb drinking inside the club. Sandy walks in to join him Sandy: ah drinkin alone, that's never a good sign Caleb: what the hell are you doing here Sandy: well I tried to talk ta Phyllis earlier but (sits) I left my ouji board at home...no more games Cal...who was that woman I saw leave this place Caleb: ...you trailed me here?...spied on me!

(Opening scene - The first thing we see is RAIN over the ocean, lots and lots of rain. then we hear thunder and I have to mention this because it really made the scene, the song No Rain by Blind Melon begins to play. I think it was a perfect choice for this scene! And while I'm on a tangent, a bit of trivia. the week this episode aired it was actually really raining in LA so it made it that much more believable, I thought that was neat they were able to fluke it like that! OK back to the scene! the scene to this voice over is an aerial sht of the ocean, then of houses.) Guy: well I cannot believe I'm saying this but it's raining in the OC Girl: I know its crazy (thunder) I gotta tell ya the traffic is a nightmare, the four o five is jammed, the five the seven ten there all gridlocked. Guy: stay safe, stay dry an lets all pray for sunshine again. (OK, we now see the outside of the Cohen house, it looks very dreary and the rain is of course still coming down. we then see Ryan inside the pool house. he draws up his blinds to see the rain over the glass panel in his door. he stares for a minute, shocked. we see the rain pouring down on the pool. Ryan draws up another blind - we then go inside the Cohen house where Seth is walking, he heads into the kitchen towards the back door and stops suddenly. he looks out through the glass paneling in the door just like Ryan did. there is a bolt of lightening and a loud clap of thunder. Seth sees Ryan at his door. Ryan puts his hand on his door handle but doesn't open it. Seth motions for Ryan to come over to him. Ryan screws up his face and shakes his head, and motions for Seth to go to him. Seth again motions for Ryan to go to him. Ryan again motions for Seth to go to him {neither like the idea of having to go out in the rain lol} Seth looks sadly at Ryan and walks away from the door, he comes back to the door with a HUGE grin on his face, and a basket of bagels, he waves them around at Ryan trying to bribe him into coming to the kitchen. Ryan shakes his head, half smiles then screws his face up. Seth puts the bagels back, disappointed. Seth walks back over to the door with his tongue poking out a little, and he has a phone to his ear. we hear a ringing sound. Ryan walks back over to his door and answers his phone.) Seth: Hey I kinda need'a talk to you so, you comin over for breakfast. Ryan: Uh you know I got a little cleanin up to do, why don't you swing by the pool house.

Seth and Ryan both look at it) Seth: Not worse then our women can. (Ryan looks at Seth, Seth puts his hand on the glass and it slides down dramatically. they both look miserable) Theme song - California by Phantom planet. Cohen house - we see the outside first, still as dreary as before. we hear thunder and the rain falling on the pavement. we then see through Sandy and Kirsten's bedroom door, it is very dreary and Kirsten is still in bed. we then see Kirsten from above, she is frowning with her hands together on her chest, she looks so sad. she looks over to the right over her at a photo of her and Sandy, they look SO happy. Kirsten puts the photo face down so she can't see it. Sandy comes out of the bathroom drying his hair with a towel. Sandy: Its ten o'clock...are you gonna stay in bed all day. Kirsten: Maybe...I like it here. Sandy: (sits on the bed near Kirsten) You know I feel like...like we've become like strangers. Kirsten: Well I was taught (rolls over) Never to talk to strangers. Sandy: Funny. Kirsten: Not trying to be. Sandy: ...I'm sorry you're upset. Kirsten: Really, cause the last time I checked everything was all my fault. Sandy: I never said that. Kirsten: Not in those exact words. (Sandy phone rings and Kirsten closes her eyes. Sandy gets up to answer it, Kirsten opens her eyes) Sandy: Hello. Rebecca: Sandy. Sandy: Rebecca: Kirsten: (angry) Now I'm up (starts to get out of bed) (Rebecca is in a diner somewhere) Rebecca: I wanted to run Sandy I um got on a bus I was on my way (sighs) but I realised I couldn't leave without saying goodbye. (Kirsten leaves the room quickly, Sandy follows her. while Sandy is saying the below. we see Kirsten walking away from him and putting her robe on, Sandy stands in the doorway of their room watching her) Sandy: Well as long as you don't flee we have a chance with your case, please, stay where you are. CUT TO: Caleb's mansion - Julie is in the kitchen making bagels, Marissa and Alex come in. Marissa: Hey. Julie: (cheery) Good morning Mariss- (sees Alex) Oh I didn't know you had a friend over last night (to Alex) I'm Julie Cooper-Nichol (shakes Alex's hand) Alex: Alex.

Julie: Oh your right Marissa, it still is my day, I was jus being modest (smiles) (Alex smiles. Julie's bagels pop up in the toaster. Alex smiles at Marissa. Julie is standing at the toaster with her back to the girls. Marissa smiles at Alex) Julie: We'll be keeping kosher in no time. (Marissa playfully throws a piece of food at Alex, Alex gasps then they kiss heatedly. remember this is all going on behind Julies back) Julie: So how bout this weather (we see Alex and Marissa kissing, close up) huh, unbelievable (turns around) (Marissa and Alex quickly stop kissing and smile at Julie, Marissa looks as though she's trying hard not to laugh) Alex: Yeah, think I have to go but very nice to meet you (points) Julie: Oh (puts her fist up) rock on. (Marissa looks at Julie, Alex leaves. Marissa goes to the fridge) Julie: She seems nice. Marissa: Ah-huh. Julie: An you know I have no problem if you want a friend to stay over its just if you could let me know before hand. Marissa: Oh you didn't get the memo. Julie: (fake laughs) You know what Marissa I don't think it's too much to ask to know what's going on underneath my roof that's all. Marissa: Oh, you wanna know what's going on with me...I'm gonna tell you the truth, no screaming, no crying...jus the truth. Julie: You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear that. Marissa: Hold that thought...Alex is my girlfriend. Julie: I know (smiles) an I'm so happy that you've made a new friend, although I hope you keep seeing Summer- Marissa: No mom not my friend who's a girl...my girl-friend (Julie is stunned) yeah. (Marissa walks away and Julie is still staring, stunned, her mouth opens. we hear thunder) CUT TO: Lindsay's house - we hear/see Lindsay playing the obo, we then hear the doorbell. Lindsay continues playing, we then hear the doorbell being pressed more urgently. Lindsay closes her eyes and stops playing, she sighs and puts the obo down. we then see her looking at a packed suitcase. she sighs again. we then hear knocking on her window. she looks over and then walks over and draws up the blind. a VERY soaked Ryan is standing there. Lindsay sees him then opens the window. Lindsay: What're you doing. Ryan: You wouldn't open the door. Lindsay: (nods) That's cause I don't wanna see anyone. Ryan: Please let me in...I rode my bike here, bicycle monsoon seriously floored plan, I'm freezing. Lindsay: (smiles) Come on. (Lindsay helps Ryan climb through the window. Ryan falls head first and we see his feet go up in the air. Lindsay squeals) Lindsay: (laughs) Are you OK? Ryan: (lying face down on the floor) Yeah. Lindsay: (laughing) Alright, hold on (goes to get Ryan a towel) (Ryan gets up and shuts the window) Lindsay: OK come here. (Lindsay wraps the towel around Ryan, they share a moment. Lindsay walks back over to her bed) Ryan: Well you coulda opened the door for me a half hour ago. Lindsay: Uh I thought you were Caleb (looks at Ryan) showing up to drive me to my DNA test. Ryan: (walks towards Lindsay) He scheduled you a DNA test. Lindsay: Mm-hmm, it was either that or the pony. Ryan: So you're not goin. Lindsay: Mm no way.

Ryan: Well then it's not gonna stop until you know the truth, an besides...if you are his daughter at least you'll have reason to stay (Lindsay looks at him) I mean your other reason.

Seth is on the other side of the door leaning against it. he puts his Spiderman mask back on, sad and slowly walks away) CUT TO: A diner - we see Sandy get out his car and go inside. Rebecca is sitting at a booth and she calls him over. Rebecca: Thanks for coming. Sandy: (sits) Oh it wasn't easy, rains in southern California all of a sudden nobody can drive.

Ryan: (looks at Seth) Your listening'ta Boyz II Men. Seth: I can think of no sadder song in the whole world. Ryan: (walks over to the stereo) So I'm guessing it didn't go well (turns the song down) (Seth puts the covers down so his head is exposed. Ryan sits on the chair) Seth: Unless I can think of one last grand romantic gesture...Summers gone. Ryan: Wow...you know I remember when I first heard about Summer, we were sailing an you said you named your boat after her (Seth looks as though he's thinking) which I thought was a little weird considering you never actually talked to her. Seth: (sits up) Eureka Ryan (points) (thinks) Can't believe I jus said eureka but that's OK that's it (gets out of bed) Ryan: What's it (stands) Seth: The thing to win her back, the grand romantic gesture that's gonna put Zachary's euro trip to shame, I shall take her on a sailing adventure ...aboard the Summer breeze (points) Ryan: (looks at Seth) ...except ya sold the boat for bus fare.

(Ryan goes to turn the stereo off) CUT TO: Summers bedroom - the first thing we see is a stereo and Boyz II Men is once again playing! {awww} the camera pans to show Summer sitting on the floor near the stereo. Princess Sparkle is behind her and Summer is holding her cell phone looking at it sadly. we see what she's looking at, which is a photo of Seth to go with his phone number. it says Cohen above the picture, and the number below it. we hear some buttons being pressed on the phone then we hear a knock at the door. Summer frowns. Summer: Come in. (Zach opens the door and goes into her room) Summer: (smiles) Hey, hey Zach (shuts her phone) Zach: Hi uh (points) Your listening to Boyz II Men this song is so sad. Summer: Um yeah I was...waiting for motown philly (turns it off) Zach: Oooh, right (nods) (Zach helps Summer up off the floor) Summer: Thanks. Zach: (notices all her luggage) Oh my god. Summer: Hm.

Alex: Seth (Seth waves) you here'ta fight crime. (Seth goes in) Seth: No actually (Alex shuts the door) I'm here to get my job back (hopeful) (grins) Alex: No, n-n-n-no what you were like the flakiest employee in Bait Shop history. Seth: You think that's an easy accomplishment, what about Homer the beer guy. Alex: And how long would you be planning on keeping your job this time. Seth: Until I can make five hundred dollars so...however long that is, please (Alex looks as though she's breaking) (begs) Alex, Alex, Alex (softly) please.

Seth closes his eyes then rubs them with his fists and makes a squeaky noise. he has wide eyes and an open mouth) Seth: Let me get this straight (Alex looks at him) You broke up with me...for Marissa. Alex: (holds up the money) D'you want your money. Seth: Hey (takes the money) who better then a super hero understands secret identity (looks at Marissa) (Alex pushes Seth towards the door) Seth: Now hold on, jus wanna make sure I have the visual (Marissa smiles and raises her eyebrows) (looks at Alex) OK I got it great thankyou (Alex opens the door) Hey listen Alex thankyou, both'a you for everything I mean (Marissa waves) keep doing what your doing I like it. (Alex shuts the door) CUT TO: Pink motel - the pink sign is lit up but the M is out so it only says Pink OTEL, we then see Sandy's car parked there. the next thing we see is Rebecca opening a bottle of alcohol and Sandy sitting on the bed with food {just a quick FYI. this scene is similar to the season 1 Ryan/Marissa scene where they argued over ding dongs or cheese sticks on the TJ trip} Sandy: So what'll it be ding dongs (sits next to Rebecca on the floor) or cheese sticks. Rebecca: Oh this is a desert wine so I'd say ding dongs of course. Sandy: (smiles) Really, well this is one classy picnic. Rebecca: (laughs) We got washed out road (they clink their cups) Rain storm...cheap motel. Sandy: Cheap wine. Rebecca: Mm. Sandy: Has all the makings of a great slasher movie.

Seth: I appreciate you sellin me my boat back...when I sold it I was in desperate straits...low blood sugar no snacks. Guy: Listen just a heads up, I made some modifications to her. Seth: Modifications, terrific, that's very mellville of you referring to the boat as a she. (the guy pulls back the cover revealing a shark like mouth painted on the side at the front, with the words GIMMIE SEX in big pink letters with a darker border) Seth: Dear god...she's a slut. CUT TO: Cohen bedroom - we see Kirsten in bed from above, similar to how we saw her earlier. she doesn't look any happier. we hear the phone ring beside her. Kirsten rolls over and picks it up, she looks at it for a second before answering. Kirsten: Hello. Sandy: Hey honey. Kirsten: ...hi. Sandy: I tried ya last night. Kirsten: I got your messages I uh I passed out early it was a long day at the office.

Marissa: Right, this way you avoid any public embarrassment (picks up Share Bear from her bed) Julie: Where're you going. Marissa: I'm moving out. Julie: (shocked) What. Marissa: You have my cell if Caleb kicks (shrugs) an you need help counting your cash. (Marissa walks out and Julie puts her hands on her hips and sighs) CUT TO: The Cohen living room - we see from the outside that Seth and Ryan are in there, along with the former Summer breeze. Ryan: So what's the plan here (gets on the boat) Seth: (gets on as well) We get the boat in the pool, I get Summer to come over...wha-la. Ryan: (nods) You take Summer for a spin in the pool in the Gimmie Sex. Seth: It's a symbolic gesture Ryan, an one that will get Summer to fall back in love with me OK Ryan: OK Seth: Oh by the way, our ex's (smiles) are dating each other now.

Sandy: No we've got nothin to talk about other then your case an this traffic. Rebecca: So what we had meant nothing. Sandy: (looks at Rebecca) It meant everything to me then (Rebecca looks at him) That was then now I got a family that I love an I'm not throwin that away...I gotta get back ta Newport an make sure they know that. Rebecca: (screams) Sandy. Sandy: Whoa. (we hear screeching tyres and Sandy and Rebecca go off the road. {there was a commercial break here but it's the same scene so I'll just continue} Sandy is out of the car) Sandy: Ooooh. (Sandy limps around to Rebecca's side and opens her door) Sandy: Are you OK Rebecca: Yeah I think. (Sandy helps Rebecca out of the car. up on the road a truck has stopped) Driver: (yells) Hey (Rebecca & Sandy look) you guys alright. Sandy: (yells) Yeah little bruised an battered but we're OK Drive: Already called 911 cops are on the way, the tow truck ambulance (Rebecca looks worried) Sandy: Alright thankyou. Driver: Alright (waves) (Rebecca gets her things out of the car) Sandy: What're you doin. Rebecca: I can't do this, I gotta go...the cops are comin there gonna arrest me, maybe arrest you. Sandy: So we'll talk to them. Rebecca: I'm gonna chalk last night up to fate...I gotta do the same here. Sandy: Ya can't run again. Rebecca: What choice do I have (Sandy looks at her helplessly) an now my fathers gone an you...I (shakes her head) Your right...what we had was a long time ago...gotta let it go, let you go. (Sandy looks at Rebecca. Rebecca kisses him on the forehead.) Rebecca: See you Sandy Cohen. (Rebecca walks up the hill. Sandy watches her) CUT TO: The airport - we see close up of Summer waiting for the plane, she doesn't look very happy. Zach looks at her. Z's mom: (sighs) So your father's flight doesn't leave DC until eleven, he's lucky he doesn't have'ta fly in this weather. (we hear a phone ringing) Summer: Uh, sorry (looks for her phone) Uh-hm (Summer looks at who's calling. its Seth she shuts it) Um I'm really excited that I finally get to meet your dad he sounds really cool. Zs sister: Oh um did dad make reservations at the oo feetsie? Z's mom: Oh he sure did, can't wait ta see the Bata celli. Zach: The birth of Venus is amazing in person. Zs mom: (smiles) Are you a fan of Bata celli.

Zs mom: Oh I could take an economist. Zs sister: I could use a zanex. Summer: OK...OK (Summer walks over to the gift shop. she looks around then pulls out her phone dials some numbers and listens) Message: You have 1 new message (bites her lip) Seth: hey its me look uh perhaps your screening, perhaps your...being screened by security I just (sighs) Uh huh I just wanted'a say sorry to leave things like that OK (Summer half smiles) an I hope you have a good trip I really do, an somebody else here wants to say something (horse noises) Uh Captain Oats is a (Summer laughs silently) horse of few words but he said he'd like you to travel safe and uh he said we'll miss you so...OK, OK bye. (Summer looks sad and hangs up) CUT TO: Alex's apartment - Alex is sitting on the couch laughing at the TV and drinking beer. Marissa comes out from the bedroom holding some of her clothes. Marissa: Um, there's no more closet space. Alex: No (shakes her head) I know I'm sorry. Marissa: ...its OK, I can learn ta live with less shoes. Alex: Uh I gotta get to work, hey you wanna walk me I love walking in the rain. Marissa: (smiles) Sure. Alex: Cool, oh uh (stands) Garbage days tomorrow d'you mind taking out the cans (Marissa's smile goes) an rent is due the first day of the month. Marissa: OK rent (smiles) Alex: I know it's really real huh, no turning back (smiles) Marissa: Its real (smiles) Alex: Bet you never (strokes Marissa's hair) Did anything this crazy before (kisses Marissa's cheek) I'm gonna grab my jacket. (Marissa nods and looks around at the mess) CUT TO: Lindsay's room - Lindsay is packing and Ryan stands at the door. he knocks on the door frame and Lindsay looks over and smiles. Ryan: Hi. Lindsay: Hey. Ryan: All packed. Lindsay: Getting there. Ryan: Call Caleb, let him know you were comin. Lindsay: (shakes her head) No (Ryan looks at her) ...because I'm not. Ryan: (raises eyebrows) Huh, OK. Lindsay: Ryan (Ryan moves closer) I talked it over with my mom...an I wanna go with her (closes her eyes) to Chicago. Ryan: I thought... Lindsay: Do I really wanna be Caleb Nichols daughter? (Ryan closes his eyes) It's not the life I want (Ryan looks at her) (softly) an as hard as it is to leave you...I can't leave my mom...she's the only family I've ever really had. Ryan: (looks at Lindsay) I get it (half smiles) (Lindsay, teary puts her head on Ryan's shoulder. Ryan holds her close, taking it all in. Lindsay closes her eyes and a single tear falls. the camera zooms out to show them holding each other) CUT TO: Cohen living room - Seth sits on the couch, and Captain Oats is on the arm next to him. Seth: Here we go buddy, hours of mind numbing escapism (points the remote control) (we see the TV with nothing but snow and a channel number. Seth goes to other channel's and it's the same thing) Seth: The satellites out (closes his eyes) Ugh (softly) I refuse to be denied this one - small - pleasure...this I can fix (turns off the TV and leaves the room) CUT TO: The airport - Summer is coming out of the gift shop, Zach walks over to her panicked. Zach: I need you, the flights ben delayed a couple hours because'a the weather, my sister is having an anxiety attck. Summer: (worried) Well what's the matter. Zach: She's really superstitious an she thinks this whole thing is a sign that she shouldn't marry Rodolfo (Summer raises her eyebrows) I don't know maybe a...girls point of view. Summer: Sure, yeah. Zach: OK good. Summer: OK (Summer goes to follow Zach but she looks over and sees a little boy playing with a horse on the floor. he has comic books spread out, he's basically a mini Seth. Summer watches him thinking. the little boy looks up at her and she bites her lip) Zach: Are you coming. Summer: Huh (looks at Zach) (closes her eyes) I can't do it. Zach: OK I-I'll talk to her myself. Summer: (softly) No...I mean I can't go I can't do this. (Zach looks at Summer confused. Summer looks back at Zach. the little boy says neigh neigh. Zach looks over and sees him. Summer looks over, teary. Zach looks back at Summer, he touches her neck and Summer closes her eyes) Zach: (frowns, softly) Truth be told...I didn't think you'd make it passed security. Summer: (upset) I'm really sorry. Zach: Can't fight fate. (Summer leans forward and kisses Zach, she wipes his lips with her thumb and finger and looks at him one last time, sadly before running out {the song Champagne Supernova begins to play, and continues to play right through to the end of the episode. it fits each scene perfectly!} we see Zach clearly in the foreground, and in the background Summer runs out the doors) CUT TO: A bus pulling up - we see Sandy looking out the window to Kirsten who is waiting for him holding an umbrella. the bus comes to a stop and Sandy quickly gets off. they look at each other. Kirsten: You took the bus. Sandy: I told you...nothing is keepin me from you. Kirsten: (looks at Sandy) ...is it over. Sandy: I promise you it never started. (they slowly lean in towards each other and kiss. they look into each others eyes before kissing more) CUT TO: Outside the Cohen house - Seth climbs onto the roof with some rope, he's wearing the Spiderman mask again. he slowly crawls towards the satellite dish. it's still pouring down rain. he ties the rope to the concrete block, and the other end is around his waist. he stands up and pulls on the satellite. there is a flash of lightening and he slips onto his back. he slides off the roof head first screaming all the way. the rope pulls tight and we see Seth dangling head down, off of the roof. he's a few feet from the ground. Seth: Uh help, anyone (looks around) Mom. CUT TO: Marissa and Alex walking in the rain - Marissa is holding an umbrella over them both and they are just outside the Bait Shop entrance. Alex: Thanks for walking me, are you sure you don't wanna come in the band is really, really, good. Marissa: Oh no I should get back, the dishes (shrugs) aren't gonna wash themselves. Alex: (smiles) OK (kisses Marissa) Bye. Marissa: Bye (smiles) (Alex goes inside and Marissa turns around to walk away. she looks over and sees Ryan standing by himself near a railing, he's getting wet, she walks over to him) Marissa: Hey (holds the umbrella over them) Ryan: (softly) Hey. Marissa: (worried) ...are you OK (Ryan looks at Marissa, his face is dripping with water, more then likely from the rain but I am sure there are tears mixed in {poor guy}) Ryan: (nods) Yeah. (Marissa thinks, then she puts her hand on his shoulder. we see them from the back and she moves her hand across his back to the other shoulder so she has her arm around him) CUT TO: A cab pulls up somewhere and Summer gets out, she screams from the rain. she runs around the back of the cab and we can now see its the Cohen's house. she runs up to the front and knocks hard, she waits a second and then opens the front door and goes in. Summer: (yells) Cohen...Cohen. Seth: (yells) Help...someone. (Summer goes through the living room and out the door to the backyard) Seth: Anyone. Summer: (with her back to him) (frowns) Cohen. Seth: Summer. Summer: (turns around and sees him) Oh my (runs over to Seth and looks into his face with an 'awww' expression) {remember he still has the Spiderman mask on} Seth: What're you doing here. Summer: What'do you think Cohen. (Summer peels the Spiderman mask back just enough to reveal Seth's mouth, she laughs and kisses him. her hands are on his cheeks and Seth puts his hand on Summers back. there's more thunder and lightening. we see them from a distance and they are still kissing! {awwwww} Champagne Supernova continues to play, which really made the scene that much better!) Fade out on one of the most perfect scenes the OC has given us yet!	{"type": "series", "show": "The O.C.", "episode": "02x14 - The Rainy Day Women"}	foreverdreaming
