Haley James Scott Quotes
Nathan: I was thinking we could take a trip to Charlotte, you could wear that dress, we could take Jamie.
Haley: Nathan, what happened?
Nathan: I'm not on the Chiefs anymore.
Haley: Oh babe, I'm sorry.
Nathan: It's okay, what do you say Haley James? Want to take the boy to Charlotte and maybe we could see a basketball game? I kind of have to be there anyway, seeing as I'm the Bobcats' new point guard.
Haley: What?
Nathan: I'm the point guard for the Charlotte Bobcats. I got called up.
Haley: You're in the NBA? :[crying]
Nathan: I'm in the NBA. Thank you. Thank you for believing in me.
Haley: Thank you for being worth it.
I believe in true love. I believe in love at first sight. I believe love conquers all. And that doesn't mean there's not gonna be hard days or difficult things to deal with, because there will be. But finding that person who does it for you and knowing that person loves you back it just makes everything so much easier. "Peyton Sawyer will become Peyton Scott." That was the dream. And here we are 10 years later and we all get to witness today a dream come true.
Mouth: Did I mention I have a girlfriend?
Gigi: Cool. I do too. Sometimes.
Haley: I'm sorry.
Nathan: Aww, are you kidding me? My girl is a badass. That's hot.
Nathan: What happened to walking away?
Haley: I know, but you didn't see her! She was such a bitch!
Nathan: Sounds like you made that pretty clear.
Haley: Jamie's been through so much lately. The last thing he needs is some bully picking on him.
Nathan: He'll be fine. He's a tough kid. But you know what? I'll... I'll take care of it. In the mean time, just try not to kill anybody. Okay, slugger?
Haley: What are you gonna do?
Nathan: I'm gonna call his mom a bitch and then push her!
Because this is a literature class. When archaeologists uncover lost civilizations and they unearth their worlds that have long been since been destroyed, you know what they find most often? They find stories, ancient languages, words, inscriptions from people who have been gone for thousand of years, because chances are, like you, they wanted to know, "Whats the point?" And they wanted us to know that they were here, you know? Like they told their stories, and they tried to make sense of their lives and their worlds and their tragedies. So that's what we are gonna do. So I want you to write something, anything at all, about Quentin Fields. If you knew him, write a favorite memory. If you didn't know him, write what you think the point is of all this for yourself and your life and your time here. This is a literature class and that's what writers do. We put pen to paper in times of devastating tragedy. And we try and make sense of it. Maybe we will find some clarity in some of those words. Maybe we will find peace.
[in class] You know what? Um... you guys asked me what the point was to all of this, school, literature... life. And, uh I said there was no point. And that's not true. What I should have said was, "I don't know". Because the truth is, not long ago, I sat where you are and wondered exactly the same things. When something that's tragic and evil and unexplainable happens, like losing someone forever... I still wonder, just like you do. Alright, everybody, get out a piece of paper and pen.
Denise: I wanted to thank you for standing up for my boy the way you did in that last game. It's a shame that we have to meet like this.
Lucas: Yes, ma'am, it is.
Denise: Coach Taylor, Quentin always had so many nice things to say about you. And you too, Nathan. I really appreciate you boys coming here. But I mostly wanted to say thank you to this one. My son has always loved basketball but the day I can tell you, the day I came home and found him reading a book, it about gave me a heart attack. He said, "Mommy, Mrs. James-Scott, she don't play. She almost as bad as you are." I realize that you are all trying to help him live up to the greatness God gave him and you should be proud of that.
Haley: Your strength is inspiring.
Denise: My strength is from Jesus Christ. I am going to miss my baby boy for the rest of this life but I know we are going to see him again and our faith will see us through.
Nathan: I scored 35 points that night and each basket was like my own personal version of a Haley James pick-up line.
Haley: It worked.
Nathan: I played that game for you, Haley and you know what? I'd give it up for you too. Because as much as I love playing the game and the person that I am when I play it, I love being a husband and a father more.
Haley: What is with you and naked nannies in the pool? [After Nathan catches a topless Mom Deb/Nanny Deb in the pool.]
Nathan: So how are things at the studio? Peyton pulling out of her funk yet?
Haley: Actually, Peyton was out all night, with Lucas.
Nathan: Is that right? What do you suppose they're doing?
[to Lucas] You know that romantic notion that all the garbage and the pain is really healing and beautiful and sort of poetic? It's not. It's just garbage and it's pain. You know what's better? Love. The day that you start thinking that love is overrated is the day that you're wrong. The only thing wrong with love and faith and belief is not having it.
Peyton: That's what he writes. But what he says is a totally different story.
Haley: Sometimes people write the things that they can't say.
Peyton: Yeah... you know Ellie once told me not to be afraid of the music, just cause it might end. Thanks Haley, you really are a good friend. And I am so happy I never shared any of my secrets with you.
