Season 2 Episode 16: "Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking"

Lucas: Khalil Gibran once wrote: Your reason and your passion are the rudder and sails of your seafaring soul. If either be broken, you can but toss and drift or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining. And passion, unattended is a flame that burns to its own destruction.

Season 2 Episode 15: "Unopened Letter to the World"

Brooke: So you're probably looking at this and making fun of my outfit, right? Anyway, here's all you really need to know about today; if... you fat, dumb, sexual, and a guy, you're OK. If you're a girl, not so much. Please tell me that's changed in the future. Somebody tell me you've got love figured out, because I got news for you; it's pretty darn messy right now. But I guess it's always been that way. Wanting to be loved, to find somebody that makes your heart ache in a good way.. feel understood. So... if you're robots, or aliens, or something and you're watching this right now and that feeling no longer exists; well... you missed it... and I feel sorry for you. 'Cause as far as I can tell, that's what it's all about. And that's what I know it should be about.

Lucas: My best friend, Haley, left town recently. And it's.. been hard. You know, until this year, it's... it's always been us against the world. We pretty much grew up together and.. now she's just gone. You know, I.. I understand the leaving part. Trust me, I just wish she woulda called me; before she left. I wish.. I coulda talked to her about it. I mean, not to change her mind.. or to tell her what to do, but.. just to say I love you... and I miss you. Just to say goodbye. My brother's been going through a tough time lately. I wish there was more I could do to help him. I mean, just getting along is kinda new to us. But I guess that's how brothers are. Better to each other and worse to each other than anybody else. I also wish I could make things easier for my mom. I mean, even though it's been a tough year for us, I want her to be happy more than anything. But that doesn't change the fact that I need to get closer to my father because if I can get closer to him, maybe I can find a way to beat him. Once and for all - set the people that I love free. I just hope I have the strength to tear him down for good.

Anna Taggaro: My name is Anna Taggarro and I'm a junior at Tree Hill High and since it's 2025, I guess it's OK to say that... I'm bisexual. Although, if I still haven't found the nerve to come out to my friends and family... by 2025, surprise! My name is Anna Taggarro and I'm a junior at Tree Hill High. And.. I'm gay... and straight... and a Latina and I hate labels! And I hope by the time you see this, those things won't be an issue. For now, all you need to know is this; my name is Anna.. and I'm just trying to find my way.. like most kids. I guess that part is timeless.

Peyton: OK, first off, I wanna say happy 67th birthday to Peyton Sawyer. You were pretty cool back in the day. Um... and to... Jenny Jagielski, who is... wow, um, like in her 50s now. Uh... your dad... sure loves you. Plus, he's a total fox. OK. Well, if you're young and you're watching this, uh, you guys know what you're up against, especially if you're a girl, it's... sex, right, and... and even fifty years from now, I'm guessing it's still a really big deal. You know, it's awkward... and... threatening... and thrilling. But, in a way, it's like sex is the easy part. You know, it's...giving your heart to somebody; that's the scary part. I lost my way, a little bit, this year. But.. lately it's been better. You know, um, it's pretty amazing how.. temptation can be silenced by a ray of hope. But.. when the face to that hope is a boy's face, I guess, for me, hope comes with trust issues too.

Nathan: So you want me to tell you something about myself? I don't have anything to say. Even if I did, you'd be wrong to believe me. Trust is a lie. Nobody ever knows anyone.

Season 2 Episode 14: "Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows"

Mouth: (at podium) I'll speak for her. We just heard Principal Turner read a list of Erica's accomplishments. I could try to do that for Brooke, but it would be kind of a short speech... As you know, Brooke's probably one of the most popular people in school. Something I'm definitely not... and yet, she's my friend. She never cared what clique I was part of, the kinds of clothes I wore or... the fact that I have to ride the bus... She looked past that stuff. And when you think about it, isn't that what we want in our president; someone who can see past the superficial differences and bring us together? This year, Brooke's had her share of ups and downs... just like all of us. But most of you never saw it, 'cuz even when life got hard, Brooke never let it in. She was just...Brooke; tough, smart, one of a kind... And I don't know about you but those are things that I look for in a leader. Brooke Davis is my friend. But that's not why I'm voting for her. I'm voting for her because of her heart... and her spirit... and because she's the best person for the job.

Jake : You know, um... I wasn't entirely honest with you, before.
Peyton: About what??
Jake : The reason I came back.
Peyton: You said you were tired of running.
Jake : .... Yeah, but... that's not the only reason. See, the whole time that I was gone, I kept... thinking about all this stuff that I should have...done... when I had the chance, but didn't.
Peyton: Well, like what kinda stuff?
Jake: ...I don't know. Mostly being with you.

Season 2 Episode 13: "The Hero Dies In This One"

Brooke: [election speech] I thought I knew you. But I guess it's easier to see what we want than to look for the truth. You think you know me but you don't. And that means you don't know what I can do. You see me as someone who's popular and who has all the answers but that's not true. I may not always know what I'm doing but I'll try to make things better. And when I make a mistake, because face it, we all do, I promise I'll ask for your help. I can't do this alone, but if you'll take a chance on me, we can do great things together. I promise if you believe in me, I'll find the courage to reach for your every dream. John F. Kennedy said, "the courage of life is a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures. And that is the basis of all morality."

Season 2 Episode 10: "Don't Take Me for Granted"

Felix: Brooke, just talk to me. Just tell me how you feel. I know it's scary and I know you had a hard time with Lucas. But just tell me if you can show me your heart. Because if you do, I'll guard it with my life. Just say okay.
Brooke: Okay.

Mr. Turner: Maybe so but there are counselors you can talk to. Literature you can read.
Peyton: Okay, I'm ... I'm not gay, Mr. Turner!!! But you know what; if I was I wouldn't let other people tear me down because of it and I sure as hell wouldn't be looking for my answers in one of your pamphlets!
Mr. Turner: Policy is clear, Peyton. Remove the shirt or be suspended.
Peyton: Fine. [takes off her shirt and throws it at him] Can you hear my song now, Mr. Turner?
Mr. Turner: Enjoy your suspension, Miss Sawyer.

Mr. Turner: Miss Sawyer, you know we have a policy regarding wardrobe that's offensive or profane.
Peyton: [points to her locker] Does that policy extend to lockers, 'cuz you haven't removed that yet have you?
Mr. Turner: You know the drill: go to the office and change or be sent home.
Peyton: Ok, Mr. Turner, have you ever heard of Victor Jara? No? Um... he was this musician, right, and he fought injustice with his songs and when they broke his hands and when they taunted him, he just sang even louder.
Mr. Turner: Look, Peyton, oppression's not exactly a mystery to me, ok? I feel your pain.
Peyton: No... no you don't. Ok, I'm sorry, but you don't know anything about my pain!
