Favorite Karen Roe Quotes
Dan: What are you doing, Lucas?
Lucas: Protecting my mother. (pulls out a gun, points it at Dan)
Dan: You're gonna shoot me?
Lucas: Yes, I am. Just like you shot my uncle Keith.
Karen: Lucas, put that down!
Lucas: I can't.
Karen: Haley? Are you Okay?
Haley: Yeah, if okay's, like, heels that are killing me and underwear that's digging into my ribcage and I'm about five minutes from going home and binging on cookie dough.
Whitey: Karen I know what you're going through. I lost the love of my life too.
Karen: Yea, you had Camilla for a lifetime; I had Keith for a few weeks.
Whitey: Whose fault was that? (Karen slaps him) I'm glad to see you're still in there. Now, you listen to me. I said that because I know the guilt that you're caring around. And you're wrong to feel it. Feeling guilty is not gonna bring Keith back.
Karen: Don't I have a right to feel bad?
Whitey: You know Lucas was so broken up he couldn't play the last game? No, I didn't think so. Look Karen, you gave Keith the thing that he loved most in all the world, Lucas. He was never happier than when he was talking about you and that boy. You gave him a son for a lifetime and you let him matter to Lucas. I know how that feels. Karen, you couldn't have given him much more. Let the guilt fall away, let it go.
Welcome to my history, Haley James Scott.

Karen: Dan...
Dan: I have done some horrible things, unforgivable things. Lucas didn't need a father, he had one. He had the person who helped him bridge the shame of my cowardice. Everything I've touched has diminished: Deb's life, Nathan's talent. Keith-
Karen Roe: Come here. You're not without redemption. I've seen it, I see it!
Dan Scott:: That's not true, it's not true. I just wanna...wanna go back, you know. I just wanna go back. I... I wanna take that little kid that I used to be and just grab him and shake him and say you stop, stop, JUST STOP! I wanna wake up from this nightmare, you know, I wanna breathe again. I wanna, I wanna breathe again, Karen. Can you help me breathe? Can you help me quite these voices in my head that tell me that I've lost you? 'Cause I know I have... If only I would've stayed with you.
Karen: You don't have to go. He's allowed visitors.
Peyton: Okay. I'm Peyton.
Karen: I know. Lucas has talked about you. It's nice that people want to do something, but that's the last thing I want to think about is food.
Peyton: Yeah, but you'll be glad you had it in a couple of days. I swear the cooks in this hospital gets a bonus for making people sick.
Karen:Sounds like you spent some time here.
Peyton: Yeah, when my mom died.
Karen: I'm sorry. How'd she die?
Peyton: A car accident.
Karen: You're a good friend to visit.
Lucas: Did you change your hair?
Karen: If by "change," you mean "drag a brush through it," then yeah.
Dan: I'm only thinking of the kid.
Karen: You have no right to think of him - not today or any other day of his life. How dare you.
Dan: Are you finished?
Karen: I haven't even started!
It's hard to fight the things we are afraid of. Sometimes we just need a little help.

Lucas: I didn't want to be like him and I was afraid that I'd become him if I played. In the gym, I felt like he had a piece of me. I never felt like that on the playground.
Karen: Well, I'd say he's taken enough from us. I took the night off to watch my son play again. The way that he used to when he loved the game more than anything.
When I found out I was pregnant, Dan already had a basketball scholarship, and nothing was going to get in the way of that. But then something strange happened. Right before classes started, Dan changed his mind. He said he'd finish the semester and...we'd get married. So when I went into labor and you appeared, the nurse asked for your name, and I said it was Scott. Keith was there, and when the nurse brought you in, she let him hold you. I've known Keith my whole life, and that's the only time I've seen him cry. Your father never showed up.
Lucas: So to hell with him. I don't want his name.
Karen: Keith's a Scott too, you know.
