- Coach Whitey Durham: Most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wished for. Maybe, you'll get more than you ever could've imagined. Who knows where life will take you, the road is long, and in the end... the journey is the destination.
- Haley James Scott: [to Nathan] You are quite charming, you know that?
- Nathan Scott: You haven't even seen my A-game.
- Haley James Scott: Oh, Lord, help me if that's true.
- [Nathan kisses Haley on her forehead]
- Haley James Scott: It's Scott, by the way. You called me Haley James. Haley James Scott. And it always will be.
- Haley James Scott: I guess everybody's just gonna change and go back to Karen's, okay?
- Nathan Scott: People are definitely gonna change.
- Haley James Scott: [sighs] Will you unzip me?
- Nathan Scott: Oh, Haley, I love you.
- Haley James Scott: I love you, too.
- Nathan Scott: It's all so uncertain. God, I love you. I don't ever want to come that close to losing you again. I need you to be safe, okay?
- Haley James Scott: I told you. I'm not going anywhere.
- Junk: People loved Keith, you know? I was the worst mechanic on the planet, but he gave me a summer job because he knew I needed the money.
- Fergie: We hung out that whole summer talking old-school basketball with him. Me, Skills, Mouth...
- Marvin 'Mouth' McFadden: And Jimmy. Jim's funeral is on Tuesday.
- Lucas Scott: Jimmy Edwards killed my uncle. Do not talk about him, not in my mother's house.
- Nathan Scott: My mom's coming home. She called.
- Haley James Scott: Well, at least now you won't have to live alone in this big giant house.
- Nathan Scott: No, but she will. I want us to live together. I wanna be your husband again, Haley.
- Haley James Scott: That sounds so good to me, but I have a roommate named Brooke.
- Nathan Scott: That doesn't matter.
- Haley James Scott: And our dream schools are 3,000 miles away.
- Nathan Scott: Doesn't matter.
- Haley James Scott: And neither of us have jobs.
- Nathan Scott: It doesn't matter. You know how long it took me to realize that? The amount of time it takes to pull a trigger. I love you, Haley James, and that's all I need to know. And it doesn't mean it's not gonna be hard. It doesn't mean it's not gonna be confusing, but, whatever it is, we'll face it together.
- Karen Roe: [to Lucas] Did you pull Dan out of the fire?
- Lucas Scott: Mom...
- Karen Roe: Did you?
- Lucas Scott: Yes.
- Karen Roe: You selfish, stupid boy. Did you think about me? Just once, think about me, and what my life would be like if I lost you? Running into burning buildings, high schools with guns. Did I raise an idiot?
- Lucas Scott: I know! Okay, I know! It's my fault! If I didn't go back in there, Keith would still be here, and I know that. And I'm sorry.
- Karen Roe: Well, sorry isn't gonna bring him back, is it?
- Brooke Davis: I'm sorry, Peyton.
- Peyton Sawyer: Why?
- Brooke Davis: Because I shouldn't have left you there. I thought that you were behind me...
- Peyton Sawyer: Brooke, don't...
- Brooke Davis: No. I should've made sure.
- Peyton Sawyer: Okay. You're my best friend, and you wanna know what made me feel better when I was trapped in that library? It was knowing that Brooke's okay. You know, my best friend, she's safe.
- Brooke Davis: I love you for that, P. Sawyer, but there was something else that made you feel better in that library. My boyfriend. And I guess I can't hold it against him, can I? I mean, the boy I love protected the girl I love. That's the girl that he loves, too.
- Peyton Sawyer: Brooke...
- Brooke Davis: No, we both know it's true.
- Peyton Sawyer: Okay. Look, come here, no... come here. All right. I want you to listen to me. I care about Lucas, and I always will, but he's insanely in love with you. You know what? So am I. You're my Brooke! I'm not gonna hurt you again.
- Brooke Davis: Okay, 'cause I really don't want to hurt again.
- Peyton Sawyer: Come here.
- [she and Brooke hug each other]
- Peyton Sawyer: You're something, you know that? I get shot and you're the one that needs consoling.
- Principal Turner: Welcome back, students. Today, as we return to our school with heavy hearts, you will note some changes. At the entrance to our school, you will see metal detectors. They are here for your safety. You will see an armed police presence on campus. They are here for your well-being. We can try to make the school safer. We can try to protect you, but there are few precautions that we can take to protect your hearts.
- Lucas Scott: Do you really think a party is appropriate, Brooke?
- Brooke Davis: It's not a party. It's more of a cleansing for every kid in this school. You know, everybody's here, everybody's invited, everybody's together. So just check it out, okay? We've got co-ed bathrooms, science lab for drugs and pharmaceuticals, health class for condoms and people probably using them, Spanish class has kick-ass margaritas, and there's the tutor center. Anybody who needs a little extra help. Tonight, we're all together, and we stop judging each other and let everybody heal their own way. If you need to do this alone, I understand, but if you need me, I'm here.
- Lucas Scott: You think there's a heaven, Skills?
- Antwon 'Skills' Taylor: Do I think there's a heaven?
- Lucas Scott: Yeah, you know, like pearly gates and angels?
- Antwon 'Skills' Taylor: I don't know about all that. Maybe some chrome gates and some freaky angels. No, but I do think there's something else out there, and I do think that whatever we do in this world matters in the next.
- Lucas Scott: Yeah, before you came in, I was thinking about Edwards. How he could take Keith's life.
- Antwon 'Skills' Taylor: Luke, he wasn't right, dawg. Jimmy was sick.
- Lucas Scott: So, if that's true, is heaven the kind of place that'll hold that against someone? You know, because if not, Jimmy's a victim, too. And right now, in your world beyond this one, Jimmy and Keith are in the same place. I can't figure out what kind of place that would be.
- Antwon 'Skills' Taylor: It's a place you and I wouldn't understand.
- Lucas Scott: Or a place that doesn't exist.
- Rachel Gatina: You have to let it go, Mouth. It's not your fault.
- Marvin 'Mouth' McFadden: I wasn't thinking that.
- Rachel Gatina: Yes, you were. You have this ridiculous notion that because you were friends once, you could have saved him.
- Marvin 'Mouth' McFadden: What's so ridiculous about that?
- Rachel Gatina: Because you couldn't have.
- Marvin 'Mouth' McFadden: I was his best friend, Rachel.
- Rachel Gatina: How many times did the guy call you in the last year? Come on, look around. Everybody's here tonight. Geeks, stoners, jocks, maybe a few old friends who forgot to stay in touch. That's how it's gonna change.
- Marvin 'Mouth' McFadden: But everyone's still divided. We stick to these rigid circles of friends based on sports we play, or hobbies we like, or how attractive or unattractive we are. When's that gonna change?
- Rachel Gatina: Honestly? Probably never. Look, it's human nature. People stick to their own kind, but if you want it to change, then change it. I'll help you.
- Marvin 'Mouth' McFadden: How?
- Rachel Gatina: Dance with me.
