(voiceover) ... There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment who will you be? Will you let down your defenses and find solace in someone unexpected? Will you reach out? Will you face your greatest fears bravely or move forward with faith? Or will you succumb to the darkness in your soul?

Haley: Stay away from him! For all I care you can go to hell, but I won't let you take Nathan with you.
Deb: Talk to me in a few years Haley, when your dreams are dead, and your child betrays you. Then we'll see what kind of mother you'll be.
Haley: No, no, I will never, ever be like you Deb.
Deb: Pretty soon Nathan's going to realize playing college basketball is a lot more fun than playing house. I'll save you some pills.
Haley: Who are you kidding Deb? Junkies don't save pills.

Deb: Nathan.
Nathan: Mom, what are you doing here?
Deb: You have something that belongs to me.
Nathan: Mom, I'm not doing this.
Deb: I want my pills. I'm not leaving here until I get my damn pills.
Nathan: Ok. Go ahead, take them, but I'm warning you it's either the pills or me.

Dan: Everything we say in this room is confidential, right? I killed my brother.
Therapist: You say you killed your brother. Can you explain that?

Shove it up your ass; I know I'm an addict. Live a week with these people and you will be too.

Peyton: Hey, did you talk to Brooke? Is it true?
Lucas: I don't know yet... listen, what did Derek exactly say to you about me and Brooke?
Peyton: That's ... so not important
Lucas: No no no, I need to know.
Peyton: He said he heard you say you would cut me out of your life if she would take you back - and it's fine, Luke, I get it, I get it! Okay?!
Lucas: Oh, my God, Peyton! I would never say that- I would never cut you out of my life.

There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path while others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be honored by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up.

Rachel: If you're looking for Nathan... he's in my bedroom.
Haley: If you're looking for a black eye, it's in my fist.

Mouth: 'Cause every time you tell a girl you like her, she says what a great friend you are, right? Oh wait, that's me. You're the guy they all throw themselves at. Brooke, Rachel, Peyton... probably even New Guy!
Lucas: How many of those have you had?
Mouth: Counting this one? One.

Lucas: What's up Mouth?
Mouth: Sup Mouth? Sup Mouth? That's all you ever say.
Lucas: You been drinking?
Mouth: This party sucks.
Lucas: Yeah, I know what you mean.
Mouth: Yeah, I'm sure you do.

Lucas: Brooke, you got a second?
Brooke: This kind of feels like deja vu.
Lucas: Not really. You told me to fight for you and I did. But, you never fought for me.
Brooke: And I'm not going to.
Lucas: Okay, then I guess I was wrong. I'm not the guy for you Brooke Davis.

Haley: Brooke told me that you kissed Peyton, again. Luke, that's the dumbest thing you've done since the first time you kissed her, what the hell were you thinking?!
Lucas: I was thinking that she was dying. She's lying in my arm, blood is pouring out of her leg and she kissed me. And anyway, you know.. Do you really wanna go there?
Haley: What does that mean?
Lucas: What leg were you shot in when you kissed Chris Keller?

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.
