Dan Scott Quotes
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.
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?
Dan: So, how's life without basketball?
Lucas: It's better than life without Keith.
Dan: You son of a bitch!
Keith: Okay, there's no need to bring mom into this Danny.
Haley: Mr. Scott, can you please leave? You're really creeping me out.
Dan: You know, at least Peyton was pleasant in the morning.
Dan: Where is all my stuff, Deb?
Deb: I gave it away.
Dan: You what?!
Deb: I had to. It was all wet and smelly.
Dan: And how did that happen?
Deb: The sprinklers came on by accident after I tossed everything out the window. That part was on purpose.
Priest: May the grace of god be with you.
Dan: Yeah, OK. I gotta tell you, padre, this isn't exactly my home court, you know. I never had much use for religion. I guess what you call kindness, I call weakness. But .. no man is bullet-proof. I know that. After all, they crucified your boy, didn't they?
Priest: What troubles you, my son?
Dan: What troubles me -- is how I've made mistakes. How I lie awake at night, keeping company with regret, fallibility. I've not been the man I intended to be. That troubles me.
Priest: And you've come seeking absolution?
Dan: Yeah, I suppose I have. Let me ask you something; is it possible to grant forgiveness for sinful acts yet to be committed?
Priest: I'm afraid I don't understand.
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.
Lucas: Kill or be killed.
Dan: It's the way of the world.
Don't be so quick to judge me, Lucas. It's easy to have all the answers from a distance, but everybody makes decisions they regret. Me, your mother, Keith. But we learn to live with it. It's part of life.
Dan
Dan: Five-speed Mustang fully-loaded and it's all yours. I know this divorce has been hard on you, Nate. I just want to thank you for sticking by the old man. What's the matter? You're not supposed to look around at a gift, ya know.
Nathan: It's not a gift, Dad. This is a bribe.
Dan: A bribe, wow! Not exactly the thank you I was expecting.
Nathan: Ok, thanks for the car, Dad. Now I can get away from you whenever I want.
Deb: She's young enough to be your daughter. And in this town, she might just be.
Dan: Ouch!
Deb: Sorry, couldn't resist.
