Lucas: This morning I asked Whitey if I could play again.
Peyton: That's great Luke.
Lucas: Yeah, but with my heart condition, it still doesn't change the fact that it's scary.
Peyton: Well, then why are you playing?
Lucas: 'Cause it's who I am - and you need to be who you are.
Peyton: I'm out of here.
Lucas: Wait! Peyton, if you let this change you... he wins.
Peyton: Well, maybe he wins.

Lucas: Well, protect you.
Peyton: I can take care of myself.
Lucas: Hey! I know that...but, it's okay to be afraid from time to time.
Peyton: Really, what are you afraid of?

Lucas: Thanks for almost branding me with the keys. Wow, umm... it's bright.
Peyton: Yeah, well, 'Psycho Derek' is still out there - I really haven't been able to sleep for 48 hours. Thought maybe I'd try to paint the shadows away.

When life comes at you out of the darkness, who will you choose to face it with? Will they be wise? Will their love for you help them to lead you to the light, or will they lose their way in the darkness? Will they make noble choices, or will that person be someone untested, someone new? Life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness. And when it does, is there someone you can depend on when it does?

Lucas

Lucas: Kinda dark, isn't it?
Peyton: I love you, Luke, but I've chosen darkness.

Whitey: You must be proud of your son, the way he acted, Danny.
Dan: He acted like a child.
Whitey: No, Danny! He acted like a man.

You know, I thought it was a miracle that I survived that accident. And I guess I never really felt worthy of it. Now I know that miracle wasn't for me. It was for us. All three of us!

Nathan

Nathan: As many of you know, I called this press conference today to announce where I'm planning to play basketball in college. I got a lot of great offers but its always been my dream to play in Duke University, so ah... that's where I plan to go but... You know, my father said that today will be the greatest day of my life, and you're right dad, it is. But it's not because of basketball. You see, today I learned that my wife Haley is pregnant. It's an absolute honor to be recruited by Duke University. 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 make with my wife and my family's best interests at heart, and when I do I'll let you all know. My wife couldn't be here today so, I just wanted to say one thing to her: Haley, no matters what happens, we face it together. I promise you, I've never been happier. Everything is gonna be okay. I love you. Thank you.

Welcome to my history, Haley James Scott.

Karen

Detective: Lucas Scott.
Lucas: Yes sir.
Detective: Detective Wilcox. We've met before, haven't we?
Lucas: Yeah, after the school shooting.
Detective: I thought so. Listen, they filled me in on this whole long lost brother scenario. What else can you give me?
Lucas: Unfortunately, not much. I just have a really bad feeling about this guy and I'm worried about my friend Peyton.
Detective: You carried her out.... Peyton Sawyer. You are the one who carried her out of the school.
Lucas: Yeah.
Detective: Okay. We'll bring him in.
Lucas: So you believe me. You don't think this sounds crazy?
Detective: I didn't say it didn't sound crazy. But that look in your eye tells me that you believe it.

Haley: I'm pregnant ... we're pregnant, at least just tell me how you feel about that?
Nathan: I feel like you should've told me a few weeks ago... that's how I feel.

Karen: Lucas, you know you don't have to come to every check up with me.
Lucas: It's okay, mom, I want to.
Karen: Lucas, why are you coming to every check up with me?
Lucas: Would Keith be at every checkup?
Karen: Probably, yeah.
Lucas: Well then, there's your answer.

One Tree Hill Season 4 Quotes

Things that take 14 minutes - boiling an ostrich egg, Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. It also takes 14 minutes to get from the Melina bridge to Tree Hill hospital.

Lucas

My name is Lucas Scott. I'm a senior at Tree Hill High School. Tree Hill is just a place somewhere in the world. Maybe it's a lot like your world. Maybe it's nothing like it. But if you look closer, you might see someone like you. Or someone like my best friend, Haley. If you're married, a senior in high school, and not sure if your husband is still alive, then I'd say your world is a lot like Haley's. Today was supposed to be the best day of her life. But it's amazing how things can change in the blink of an eye. Or, in this case, in 29 minutes.
