412 - RESOLVE

With senior prom only weeks away, Haley's frustration over her injuries increases, so Nathan accepts Skills and Mouth's help to earn money by stripping. Rachel gets expelled from Cleen Tean and Brooke betrays her in order to get closer to the new guy. Peyton and Lucas resolve to be happy. Struggling with her drug addiction and Dan getting closer to Karen, Deb decides to end her life.



LUCAS: Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life that you expect it to always be there, because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't. But then one day you feel something else, something that feels wrong, only because it's so unfamiliar. And in that moment you realize you're happy.

NATHAN: Can I get a kiss?
HALEY: Just one?
NATHAN: I'll take as many as you got.

RACHEL: Well, good morning to you too, sunshine!
BROOKE: Why are you so happy? Did you do something slutty?
RACHEL: You could say I started my day off with a bang. This shirt is like a guy magnet. I have never gotten so much attention with my clothes on.

RACHEL (about Shelly ): And speaking of big fat A's.

MOUTH (about Chase ): Another new guy? Great.

BROOKE: I smiled, I flipped my hair, I rubbed up against him, and that didn't work. And that always works.
MOUTH: Rub all you want, but he's immune to girls like you. He's a Clean Teen.
BROOKE: So? You're a virgin. You'd sleep with me, right?
MOUTH: Okay, what I meant was, he's a virgin by choice.

BROOKE: What do virgins talk about?
MOUTH: Well, let's see. We like rainbows and kittens...

BROOKE: That was very smooth.
MOUTH: What just happened?
BROOKE: It's not that easy to talk to a hot virgin, is it?

TEACHER: Passing notes, Mr. Scott? How about we share this with the class?
LUCAS: Be happy to. It just says that... "Peyton, you look amazing. And I can't wait till class is over so I can look at those green eyes and kiss your perfect lips."

TEACHER: Oh, young love. At least you'll be together in detention.
PEYTON: So worth it.

SKILLS: You know that club over there on Stinson Street?
NATHAN: The strip club? Whatever you're about to say, the answer is no.

SKILLS (to Nathan): Look man, I've been watching these new Usher videos on TRL. My moves is tight, dog. Look. Look at this one. Think about it. Think about it. Think about it. Think about it.

DEB: I used to have one of those. I tried to put it to sleep. Looks like you got yours neutered.
KAREN: Good morning, Deb. What are you here for, target practice?
DEB: You know, for a smart woman, you're being stupid letting Dan into your life. The one who abandoned you when you were pregnant and left Lucas fatherless, the one who treated Keith horribly his whole life? You remember Keith, don't you? The man whose baby you're carrying?!
DAN: That's enough.
DEB: He would roll over in his grave if he could see the two of you together.

BROOKE: Check me out. I'm a smart virgin!
RACHEL: Great. You're the new Mouth.

PEYTON: Okay, look, just so you know, "Kid A" goes under "R" for "Radiohead."
LUCAS: And where did I put it?
PEYTON: Somewhere in the middle of the Foo Fighters for some reason.
LUCAS: You really alphabetize your collection?
PEYTON: Yes, alphabetized by genre and subgenre.

LUCAS: That was pretty awesome.
PEYTON: I know.
LUCAS: Kind of like your smile. Happy looks good on you.
PEYTON: Yeah? I feel like I'm living in an Air Supply song.
LUCAS: Well, you know, if we're gonna go '80s, I'm more of a Van Halen fan.
PEYTON: No, it's just, everything's better now, you know, pinks are pinker and blues are bluer, and even my favourite foods taste yummier.
LUCAS: Yummier?
PEYTON: Yummier.

LUCAS: If anyone can make a chocolate-chip cookie taste better, I'm sure it's you.
PEYTON: You are so feeling the love!
LUCAS: Well, I'll share anything for a cookie.
PEYTON: Come with me.

LUCAS: So, you know, if we're both feeling the love, what are we doing in a cemetery?
PEYTON: There's somebody I want you to meet. Hi, mom. It's me. So, this is Lucas, the boy I've been telling you about. Look what he's done. He's got me smiling. Can you believe it?
LUCAS: Hey, Mrs. Sawyer. I just want you to know that Peyton's the best thing I have in my life. I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for her.
PEYTON: Likewise.

LUCAS (to Peyton): You're gonna think that this is crazy, but... I don't think Jimmy killed Keith.

NATHAN: Did the closet explode?
HALEY: How do I look in this?
NATHAN: Is there a right answer to that question?

HALEY: None of my dresses fit me anymore!
NATHAN: Baby, you're pregnant. They're not supposed to fit you.

HALEY: In a perfect world, I would wear such a beautiful dress, and I would dance with the man that I love. But even if there was a dress somewhere in this world that fit me, I don't even have any money for it anyway. It's okay. You know what? It's okay. I'll just, I'll go, and I'll be pregnant and gimpy and you know, most likely wearing sweatpants.
NATHAN: Hey, hey, you'll look great in anything, okay? It's all right. Except maybe that dress.

NATHAN (to Skills): Just how naked do we have to get?

SKILLS: Is he as bad as I think he is?
MOUTH: No. He's worse.
SKILLS: Maybe it's the song.

SKILLS (to Peyton): You know, love sometimes don't really make sense. I mean, look at me and Bevin. You two make sense.

PEYTON: You guys are stripping?! Shut up! Please, can I tell Lucas?
SKILLS: Better than that, why don't you tell some girls? 'Cause the way he moves, we're gonna need all the home cooking we can get.

SHELLY: I don't think we need to go any further.
SHELDON: I think we do!

RACHEL: So I took my top off. So what? It didn't go further than that.
SHELLY: Don't make me black-light you.

SHELLY: You're out of Clean Teens.
RACHEL: Can I keep the shirt?
SHELLY: No.

SHELDON: I'll go with you.
RACHEL: Beat it, nerd.

KAREN: I almost didn't recognize you without Peyton attached to your hip.
LUCAS: Funny.
KAREN: Well, if it matters, I approve. You have had the biggest crush on her for years.
LUCAS: Mom, guys don't have crushes. Girls have crushes.
KAREN: Well, what do guys have? The hots?
LUCAS: The hots. Seriously, where do you come up with this stuff?

LUCAS: You know, he showed me things, mom. He took me to the school, and I saw Jimmy lying there on the floor, dead. And Keith was standing above him, and he was still alive, as if Jimmy didn't kill Keith.
KAREN: Look, Lucas, it was a dream.
LUCAS: Mom...
KAREN: I know that it is very hard for you to accept the truth because Jimmy was your friend. But he shot Keith, just like he shot Peyton. You should be thankful that you still have her here. Don't ever take her for granted.

BROOKE: We have a problem.
RACHEL: Yeah. You stabbed me in the back from the front.
BROOKE: Okay, we have two problems.

RACHEL: You screwed me over for a guy who won't screw you.
BROOKE: Oh, please, like I couldn't get Chase after a little chase.
RACHEL: I think you're forgetting something. You see, Chase is into smart born-again-virgin Brooke, not stupid slutty I-cheated-on-the-calculus-test Brooke.
BROOKE: Fine. But have you seen me? Because I could easily have sex with him if I wanted to.
RACHEL: Interesting. Care to bet on that?

MOUTH (to Nathan & Skills): You guys are gonna win that $1,000 hands down. Or pants down.

MOUTH: Oh, yeah.
NATHAN: Hell no!

MOUTH (to Nathan): Dude, you should have seen your face!

LUCAS: I kind of expected it, you know? It was like another day, another disaster.
PEYTON: It's like with everything that's happened we've become chaos junkies.

LUCAS: I just want to let it all go away, you know? I don't want to be like this anymore. How would you like to just be happy, hmm?
PEYTON: I thought you'd never ask.

DAN (to Karen): Seems like I spend more time with Keith now than I did when he was alive.

DEB: I thought vampires had to be invited in.
DAN: And I thought water melted witches, yet here we are.

DAN: You don't think my intentions toward Karen are sincere?
DEB: You don't have a sincere bone in your body, Dan.
DAN: Do you remember the night before our wedding?
DEB: You pour water in my face, and now you want to take a trip down memory lane? You disappeared after the rehearsal dinner, and my parents were furious. Is that what you wanted to hear?
DAN: I drove to Tree Hill, and spent the night parked in front of Karen's house. I knew I was on the verge of making a huge mistake. You see... Karen was the love of my life. Yet I was too proud to tell her. I never loved you, Deb. I settled for you. And I mean that sincerely.
DEB: You're a miserable ass of a man. Nathan and I are so much better off without you poisoning our lives.
DAN: "Nathan and I". Take another pill, boozy. Nathan cut you out of his life long before I did.

DEB: Where's Nathan? I need to see him.
HALEY: Not like this you don't.
DEB: Don't keep me from my own son!
HALEY: Deb, you're the one ruining your relationship with Nathan. Don't put that on me.

NATHAN: Why don't you forget I exist, and we'll call it even, okay?
DEB: I'm sorry.
NATHAN: No, mom, you're leaving. Do not come back. I'm not doing this anymore.

CHASE: I've had one serious girlfriend, but it didn't end well.
BROOKE: Did you break up because she wanted to have sex?
CHASE: Yeah. With my best friend. It turns out she was cheating on me pretty much the whole time.
BROOKE: Wow. That... That sucks.
CHASE: Yeah. I lost my girlfriend and my best friend on the same day.
BROOKE: I didn't know we had so much in common.
CHASE: It happened to you, too?
BROOKE: They didn't have sex, but my best friend fell in love with my boyfriend. Twice.

CHASE (to Brooke): I know people think that being in Clean Teens is weird, especially being a guy. And trust me, it's not 'cause I don't love girls. I do. But I just wanted to start over, you know? I mean, the next relationship I get into is gonna be with someone I can trust, someone who's completely honest with me.

NATHAN: Mouth, you did not tell me Rachel and Bevin were coming.
MOUTH: You guys need people cheering for you if you want to win, and who's better at cheering than cheerleaders?
NATHAN: Please tell me you didn't invite Haley.
MOUTH: I didn't invite Haley, but Skills told Peyton, who might have told Lucas, so there's that.
NATHAN: Right.

PEYTON: Where's your sense of adventure?
HALEY: It probably got knocked out of me when I got hit by a car.
PEYTON: Well, seriously, you're gonna want to see this. Trust me. It'll be a night to remember.

CHASE: My parents would dance like this, late at night, after I went to bed. I used to sit at the top of the stairs in my footie pajamas and just watch them.
BROOKE: That was what, a year ago?
CHASE: They were so happy and so in love. Your heart is beating really fast.
BROOKE: Is it?

MOUTH: Did you get a load of the guy who looked like Chewbacca?
NATHAN: Oh hey, I saw that guy. That dude is furry.

CHASE: So, tell me again why ice cream was a good idea on a cold night.
BROOKE: It's all part of my plan to get you cold so I can warm you up.
CHASE: Pretty diabolical.
BROOKE: It's what I do, Chase. The boys can't resist my cuteness.
CHASE: I don't know if I'd call you cute.
BROOKE: No?
CHASE: Nah. More like beautiful. Even with ice cream on your face.

BEVIN: Mama came to see her man dance, and her man's not onstage.
SKILLS: I know, baby, but there's a whole lot of people out there.
BEVIN: But if you don't dance for me, then you won't get to see me dance for you.

NATHAN: What happened to your stage fright?
SKILLS: Mama came to see her man dance.

RACHEL (to Haley): Nathan looked good tonight. No wonder you're pregnant.

HALEY: Rachel, someone stole some tests from the tutoring center, and if I find out that it's you, I am turning you in.

DAN: Is this important? I'm running over to Karen's for dinner.
DEB: I've messed up so many things, things I can't fix.
DAN: How long is this gonna take? I'm running low on minutes this month.
DEB: Please be good to Nathan. I failed him too many times to count. He deserves so much better.
DAN: Deb, you got to stop taking those pills.
DEB: It's all right now. They're all gone.

BROOKE (to Chase): There's a view? Who knew?

BROOKE: I haven't been a Clean Teen very long.
CHASE: I know. I've seen your time-capsule video. You don't see too many topless virgins.
BROOKE: I can't believe you've seen that.
CHASE: I don't care about who you were, Brooke. I care about who you are.
BROOKE: I didn't think guys like you actually existed -- sweet and sincer and hot. You're like a unicorn.
CHASE: A unicorn, huh?
BROOKE: Yeah.
CHASE: How about a dragon? Yeah, a dragon sounds way cooler.
BROOKE: Okay. Yeah, you can be the dragon.

LUCAS (to Peyton): Oh, you better run.

HALEY: How you doin', hot stuff?
NATHAN: Very funny. Get it all out.
HALEY: How much for a lap dance?
NATHAN: You done?
HALEY: Not even close. I'm serious. How much for a lap dance?

HALEY: Well, I don't think I'm gonna be dancing. The doctor said it takes most people...
NATHAN: You're not most people. I've seen how you are when you set your mind to something. You can do this. I'll help you.

BROOKE: That was amazing.
CHASE: Well, when all you do is kiss, you kind of get good at it.

PEYTON: Oh, man, I've got cookie dough all over me. It's even in my bra. Maybe I should take it off.
LUCAS: What?
PEYTON: Sucker!

LUCAS (to Peyton): Now, if you are going to be taking anything off, please, please, please, let me help you.

LUCAS (to Peyton): This is the best cookie I've ever had.

KAREN: Lucas said something really unsettling today.
DAN: What did he say?
KAREN: He said he doesn't think that Jimmy Edwards killed Keith.

LUCAS: Happiness comes in many forms. In the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else's dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It's okay to let yourself be happy, because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be.
