“Have you
ever looked at a picture of yourself and seen a stranger in the background? It
makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of
other peoples lives have we been in? We’re part of someone’s life when their
dreams come true? Or were we there when their dreams died? Did we keep trying
to get in, as if we were somehow destined to be there? Or did the shock take us
by surprise? Just think, you’d be a big part of someone else’s life… and not
even know it”
-Lucas Scott "One Tree Hill"





... Some
are running scared ...
... Some are coming home ...
... Some tell lies to make it through the day ...
... Other's so just now facing the true ...
... Some are evil man that war with Good ...
... and Some are good struggling with Evil ...
... 6 billion people in the world ...
... 6 billion souls ...
... and Sometumes all you need ... is ONE ...








John
Steinback once said: "It seems to me that if you or I must choose between
two courses of action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our
death brings no pleasure on the world".








Brooke
What are you laughing about? Your "I love yous" send people to their
grave.

Derek
I guess I'm supposed to tell you have too much makeup on, your skirt is too
short, and the boys are after only one thing. But you look beautiful.

Haley
Why is it that it's so much easier to forgive a stranger than someone you love?

Haley
Oh, come on! Tortured artist meets tortured athlete? Talk about your obvious
attraction.

Haley
You keep going to that bridge.








Lucas Scott
Quotes

* But I can't do it. And even worse, I don't know why I can't do it. You know,
it's like, no matter how confusing or screwed up life got, the game always made
sense. It was mine, you know. And in a lot of ways it's who I am. But I can't
be that person in their gym, or in their uniforms, or... in their world.

* Did you ever look at a picture of yourself and see a stranger in the
background? It makes you wonder how many people have pictures of you.

* Ever wonder how long it takes to change your life? What measure of time is
enough to be life-altering? Is it four years, like high school? One year? An
eight-week walking tour? Can your life change in a month, or a week, or a
single day? We're always in a hurry to grow up, to go places, to get ahead...


* I was there but not to kill you. I saved your life but I should have let you
burn.

* Katherine Anne Porter once said: There seems to be a kind of order in the
universe... in the movement of the stars and the turning of the Earth and the
changing of the seasons. But human life is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes
his stance, asserts his own right and feelings, mistaking the motives of
others, and his own.

* Many people die with music still in them. Why is that so? Too often it's
because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time's run
out.

* Most of our life is a series of images. They pass us by like towns on the
highway. But sometimes, a moment stuns us as it happens. And we know that this
instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment... every part
of it... will live on forever.

* They're afraid people might find out who they are before they find it out
themselves.

* So I'm confused. You want to be anonymous and you let the world watch you on
a web cam.

* What are you Keith? An angel? A bad dream?

Don't be too fat, or too thin, or too dark, or too light; don't be too sexual,
or too chaste, or too smart, or too dumb. Be yourself. But make sure you fit
in.

Listen to me, no matter what happened on that bridge, it was still my fault.

I knew how old Rachel was, and I didn't walk away. That's not very heroic is
it? Anyways, I wouldn't even be alive to say anything if it wasn't for you.

Karen
In your life you're going to go to some great places, and you're going to do
some wonderful things. But no matter where you go or who you become, this place
will always be with you. There is only one Tree Hill. And it's your home.

Keith
All right just to recap on the "reasons to stay" side we got: Dan's
an ass, you were an ass, my new teaching job, we both get a fresh start, your
mother annihilated my heart, and this apartment has a killer view.

I kind of always thought you were looking for a little faith. Most days, I

Peyton
My pen is the barrel of a gun. Remind me which side you should be on.

Peyton
Replaying the shot you missed. The shot that ended our season. The shot you
probably, what, made a 1,000 times?

Whitey
The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to
let go of the past, and recognize that every day won't be sunny. And when you
find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember, it's only in the black
of night that you see the stars, and those stars lead you back home.







~Some people believe that ravens guide travelers to
their destinations. Others believe that the sight of a solitary raven is
considered good luck. While more than one raven together, predicts trouble
ahead~

~ Every song has a CODA, a final movement. Whether it fades out or crashes
away. Every song ends. Is that any reason not to enjoy the music? The truth is,
there is nothing to be afraid of. It's just life.~

Episode 1: Pilot

Lucas: “There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads
on to fortune. But omitted, and the voyage of their life is bound in shallows
and miseries... On such a full sea are we now afloat... ...And we must take the
current when it serves... ...Or lose the ventures before us.”

Episode 2: The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most

Lucas: “Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the
hopeless swaps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all. Do not let
the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved
and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.
It is real. It is possible. It is yours.”




Episode 3: Are You True?

Lucas: “E.E. Cummings once wrote, "To be nobody but yourself, in a world
which is doing its best, day and night, to make you everybody else means to
fight the hardest battle, which any human being can fight and never stop
fighting”

Episode 5: All That You Can't Leave Behind

Lucas: “John Steinbeck once wrote “It seems to me that if you or I must choose
between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try
so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.”

Episode 6: Every Night Is Another Story

Lucas: “As happens sometimes a moment settled and hovered and remained for much
more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more
than a moment. And then the moment was gone.”

Episode 9: With Arms Outstretched

Lucas: “What a frightening thing is the human, a mass of gages and dials and
registers. And we can read only a few. And those perhaps not accurately”

Episode 11: The Living Years

Lucas: “And the little prince said to the man ‘Grownups never understand
anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always
explaining things to them’ ”

Episode 22: The Games That Play All

Lucas: “Some people believe that Ravens guide travelers to their destinations.
Others believe that the sight of a solitary raven is considered good luck.
While more than one raven together, predicts trouble ahead.”

Lucas:
“Shaw was right. As we strain to grasp the things we desire, the things we
think will make our lives better, – money, popularity, fame – we ignore what
truly matters. The simple things. Like friendship, family, love. The things we
probably already had.”

Mouth: “So Mr. Shaw thinks that getting your heart’s desire is a tragedy? I say
he’s wrong. I mean, clearly Shaw never kissed Erica Marsh.”

Peyton: “Yes, losing your heart’s desire is tragic. But gaining your heart’s
desire, it’s all you can hope for. This year I wished for love. To immerse
myself in someone else and to wake a heart, long, afraid to feel. My wish was
granted. If having that is tragic, then give me tragedy.”

Episode 23: The Leaving Song

Lucas: “Tennessee Williams once wrote, “We all live in a house on fire – no
fire department to call, no way out. Just the upstairs window to look out of
while the fire burns the house down with us trapped in it.”


Episode
1: Like You Like An Arsonist

Peyton: “At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are
running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the
day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good,
and some are good struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six
billion souls. And sometimes all you need is one.”

Episode 2: From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea

Lucas: “Henry David Thoreau once wrote, ‘Live each season as it passes, breathe
the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the
influences of each.’ ”

Episode 3: A Brand New Planet

Lucas: “Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote, ‘All are architects of fate living in
these walls of time.’ ”

Episode 4: An Attempt To Tip The Scales

Lucas: “Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, "There is no privacy that cannot
be penetrated. No secret can be kept in a civilized world. Society is a masked
ball where everyone hides his real character, then reveals it by hiding.”

Episode 6: Locked Hearts And Hand Grenades

Lucas: “Out of the night that covers me, black as the pick from pole to pole, I
thank whatever gods may be for my incomparable soul. In the fell clutch of
circumstance, I have not winced or cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of
chance, my head is bloody but unbowed.”

Episode 8: The Worst Day Since Yesterday

Lucas: “Robert Louis Stevenson wrote, "You cannot run away from weakness.
You must fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now and where you
stand?”

Episode 10: Brave New World

Lucas: “Ida W Scott once wrote, ‘Do not look back and grieve over the past for
it is gone and do not be troubled about the future for it is yet to come. Live
in the present and make it so beautiful that it will be worth the memory’”

Episode 11: Return Of The Future

Lucas: “H L Mencken wrote ‘Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit
upon his hands, hoist the black flag and begin slitting throats’”

Episode 14: All Tomorrow’s Parties

Lucas: Most of our lives is a series of images. They pass us by like towns on
the highway but sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens. And we know that
this is instant is more than a fleeing image. We know that this moment every
part of it will live on forever.

Episode 15: Just Watch The Fireworks

Whitey: “It's been fifty years, fifty long years, since I've done this. Looking
back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had. I come
to conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to,
there's a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. The
important thing is not to be bitter over lives disappointment. Learn to let go
of the past, and recognize that everyday won't be sunny, and when you find
yourself lost in darkness and despair. Remember, it’s only in the black of
night that you can see the stars, and those stars will lead you back home. So
don’t be afraid to make mistakes. To stumble. To fall. Because most of the time
the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe
you will get everything you wish for. Maybe you will get more than you ever
could have imagined. Who knows where live will take you. The road is long and
in the end the journey is the destination.”

Episode 16: With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept

Brooke: "You should be ashamed of yourself. There are kids fearing for
their lives right now. Terrified that someone's gonna put a gun in their face
and pull the trigger and you wanna know how I'm feeling? Our pain is not a
caumodity for you. It's not a news bite to boost your ratings because tomorrow,
or the next day, or the next week when we go back to school, changed forever by
a day that will never leave us, where are you gonna be? At the next tragedy
thrusting your microphone in the face of the next fractured person asking them
how they feel? Lady that is not journalism. You are not contributing anything
to society. You are buzzards circling the carnage, but you prey on the living.
That is how I'm feeling, but something tells me you're not gonna air
that."

Lucas: “Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty. This hatred. How did it
find us? Did it steal into our lives or do we seek it out and embrace it? What
happened to us? That we now send our children into the world like we send young
men to war hoping for their safe return. But knowing some will be lost on the
way. When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows, swallowed whole by
darkness. Does this darkness have a name? Is it your name?”

Episode 17: Who Will Survive, And What Will Be Left Of Them?

Lucas: “The stages of our grief: anger, fear, quilt, depression, acceptance and
the first seeds of grief."

Episode 18: When It Isn't Like It Should Be

Lucas: “Henry James wrote, 'Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth
living and your belief will help create the fact.'"

Lucas: "John Steinbeck once wrote, 'Change comes like a little wind that
ruffles the curtains at dawn and it comes like a stealthy perfume of
wildflowers hidden in the grass'"

Episode 19: I Slept With A Guy In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was A Stupid
Song Written About Me

Lucas: "George Elliot once wrote 'There is no despair so absolute as that
which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow. When we have not
yet known what is to have suffered and healed. To have despaired and recovered
hope'"

Episode 20: Everyday Is A Sunday Evening

Nathan: "Stepping up. It's a simple concept. It basically means to rise
above yourself; to do a little more, to show you something special. Something
like this....Lucas is gone but that doesn't mean the season is over. As a
matter of fact, I say it's just beginning. You might want to stay out of my way
for a while....Life's funny sometimes; can push pretty hard like when you fall
in love with someone but they forget to love you back like when your best
friend and your boyfriend leave you alone like when you pull the trigger or
light the flame and you can't take it back. Like I said, in sports they call
this 'stepping up'. In life, I call it pushing back"

Nathan: "You know it's been said that we just don't recognize the
significant moments of our lives while they're happening. We grow complacent
with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it's usually
not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you've realized
how wrong you've been that you realized how much you need it, how much you love
it. God, I love this game."

Nathan: "You ever heard the expression 'The best things in live are free.'
Well that expression is true.' Every once in a while, people step up they rise
above themselves sometimes they surprise you and sometimes they fall short.
Life is funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard but if you look close enough,
you can find hope in the words of children, in the bars of the song and in the
eyes of someone you love. And if you're lucky, if you're the luckiest person on
this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back."

Episode 21: Over The Hills And Far Away

Jake: "Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess who lived in a
kingdom far far away and in that kingdom, there also lived a boy and the
princess loved that boy so the two decided to marry. Now in this kingdom all is
not well. So, the princess and the boy were set to be wed and because she was a
princess the call went for a beautiful gown. Now as the wedding day approached,
the princess worried about the evil king and although he never been this way,
his heart had turned dark and his kingdom feared and despised him. In the days
before the wedding, the king surprised the princess and gave his blessings to
the marriage but the princess was still torn for even though she found her true
love it meant she had to leave her faithful handmaiden behind forever. On the
eve of the princess' wedding, a lavish feast was arranged. Friends and royalty
were summoned from lands far away to join the happy couple for a night of
laughter and magic."

Jake: "Once upon a time in a kingdom far away there lived a beautiful
princess who loved a boy. But the people have struggles as all people do and
they had grown to fear and despise the king whose heart had turned dark. But in
the end, the love between the princess and the boy was undeniable and true and
overtime, that love would see them through anything. Magical things happened to
them things they couldnt explain much like love itself. And like most
fairytales, the princess and the boy lived happily ever after."

Episode 22: The Show Must Go On

Lucas: "At this moment there are 6 billion 5 hundred two million 8 hundred
and sixty-seven thousand 1 hundred twenty people in the world. Give or take a
few and sometimes all you need is one. For better or for worse."

Lucas: "William Shakespeare wrote,'Love is not love which alters when it
alteration finds. It is never fixed, marked that looks on tempus and is never
shaken up. Love alters not with time's brief hours and weeks but bares it out
leading to the edge of doom'"

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 about twenty-nine minutes.

Lucas- Things that take fourteen minutes- Boiling an ostrich egg.
Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. It also takes fourteen minutes to
get to Molina Bridge to Tree Hill Hospital. In those fourteen minutes three
lives hung in the balance. For the rest of us, there was nothing to do but
wait. I guess that's why they call it "the waiting room." Dan Scott
is many things-The Mayor of Tree Hill. A once great High School basketball
player. And Nathan's father. He's also my father but he never claimed me.
Believe it or not I got the better end of the deal. I was instead raised by my
Mom with help from my Uncle Keith. Until Keith's life was taken.

Lucas- "Peyton Sawyer is a good friend. Brooke Davis is my
girlfriend. At least for now she is."

Rachel- "Do you think people can change, Brooke? I mean, truly
change?"
Brooke- "Well, I'd like to say yes, but honestly I don't really
think people can change. You know, at the end of the day, you are who you are
and it's probably who you've always been."
Rachel- "But what if who you've been is pretty horrible?"

Mouth- "Listen to me, you know how you said you were going to tell
everyone that you opened the time capsule and I said not to, that you should
bury it? I was wrong. And until you face all the mistakes you've made, you'll
never change."
Rachel- "People don't change."
Mouth- "But they can. They just don't because it's easier not to.
We're always waiting for our lives to begin, like figuring we'll be someone
else someday, but after this accident and losing Jimmy and Keith What are we
waiting for? All we have is now Rachel. Don't run from this."

Lucas- "I guess I should have said something, anything. I mean for
a guy who wants to be a writer, it suddenly seemed like no words had ever been
written. But when someone tells you that they have somehow stopped missing you
you're pretty much screwed no matter what you say. See, but there had to be
something, right? Something that no one had ever said in the history of the
world. Something that could change this? That wasn't it."

Lucas- "My name is Lucas Scott. I'm a senior at Tree Hill High
School. I play basketball. At least I used to. I have a girlfriend, at least I
used to. And I have a best friend."

Lucas- "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. Someone trying to find their way. Someone
trying to find their self. Sometimes it's easy to feel like you're the only one
in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, or unsatisfied, or barely
getting by. That feelings a lie. And if you just hold on. Just find the courage
to face it all for another day. Someone or something will find you and make it
all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes. Someone to help us hear
their music in the world. To remind us that it won't always be this way. That
someone is out there. And that someone will find you.


402: Things
I Forgot At Birth



Lucas The same thing in this quote. It's just that the one in the
beginning is shorter than the one at the end. But I separated them how they
came in. By the way I love your new video. It's so awesome. The song is great
too. It fits perfectly.

Lucas: There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at
crossroads. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our
days. Of course when faced with the unknown most of us prefer to turn around
and go back.

Lucas: There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at
crossroads.

Lucas: There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at
crossroads. Afraid, confused, without a roadmap. The choices we make in those
moments can define the rest of our days. Of course when faced with the unknown
most of us prefer to turn around and go back. But once in awhile people push on
to something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone.
And just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give
someone a second chance. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.
Because it's only when you're tested that you truly discover who you are. And
it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be. The person you
want to be does exist. Somewhere on the other side of hard work, and faith, and
belief. And beyond the heartache, and fear of what lies ahead.


403: Good
News For People Who Love Bad News



Lucas: Do you ever look at a picture of yourself and see a stranger in
the background? It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you.

Dan: It was the only thing I ever knew I was good at. People counted on
me and I never let them down. It's the best feeling in the world. And when that
went away I didn't know who I was anymore. It's scary when you lose your way. I
don't know if you ever find it again.

Lucas: You know what Mouth said? He said that he wished we never left
the river court.
Skillz: So you think he was right?
Lucas: I think things would be a lot easier. You know I know if we never
left I wouldn't have lost Brooke twice. And Keith and Jimmy would still be
alive.
Skillz: Well, that's a real stupid way to think though, dog. I mean
considering if you would have never left the river court you would have never
got with Brooke twice. You're brother would still be a stranger and rock star
Haley Scott- she'd probably be still good old book worm Haley James. You can't
hide from life, dog. Eventually you got to live it.

Lucas: You ever look at a picture of yourself and see a stranger in the
background? It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How
many moments of other people's lives have we been in? Were we a part of
someone's life, or when their dream came true, or were we there when their
dreams died? Did we keep trying to get in, as if we were somehow destined to be
there? Or did the shot take us by surprise? Just think. You could be a big part
of someone else's life and not even know it.


404: Can't
Stop This Thing We've Started


Lucas: 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? Will others tell you who you are? Or will you label
yourself? Will you be haunted by your choice? Or will you embrace your new
path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up.

Lucas: 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 ser come to the darkness
in your soul?


406: Where
Did You Sleep Last Night?


Lucas: Life comes at us from out of the darkness. And
at times, we can struggle to find the courage to face it.

Lucas: When life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness, who will
you choose to face it with? Will it be someone you trust? Will they be wise?
And will their love for you help them to guide 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 under
the darkness when it does is there someone in your life you can count on?
Someone who will watch over you when you stumble and fall? And in that moment,
give you the strength to face your fears alone.

407:
Nothing Left To Say But Goodbye




Lucas: Regret comes in all shapes and sizes. Some small. Like when we do
a bad thing for a good reason. Some are bigger. Like when we let down a friend.
Some of us escape the pangs of regret by making the right choice. Some of us
have little time for regret because we're looking forward to the future.
Sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past. And sometimes we
bury our regret by promising to change our ways. But our biggest regrets are
not for the things we did but for the things we didn't do. Things we didn't say
that could have saved someone we care about. Especially when we can see the
dark storm that's headed their way.








Episode 1: 4 Years, 6 Months and 2 Days

Lucas Scott (voiceover): Sometimes it feels like it was yesterday. We
graduated high school, saying goodbye. That feeling that you get at seventeen
or eighteen that nobody in the history of the world has ever been this close,
has ever loved as fiercely or laughed as hard or cared as much. Sometimes it
feels like it was yesterday and sometimes it feels like someone else’s memory.

Peyton: Hi, it's Peyton. Yeah, I'm sorry. I know it's late there, I
just... what happened to us? You know? I don't know who I am anymore. Or how I
got here. I miss who I used to be. I wanna have a home again, ya know? And real
friends. You know, the kind of friendships we used to believe in. I miss that.
And I miss you. I guess I just miss all of it. Does any of that make any sense?

Brooke: Yeah, it makes all the sense in the world, Peyton. Four years
ago, it all seemed so clear, didn't it? Conquer the world, save the world, live
happily ever after.
Peyton: Are you happy, Brooke?
Brooke: Sometimes. Not always. Are you?
Peyton: No.
Brooke: Okay, then let me ask you something. What is gonna make you
happy, Peyton? Is it how you look? Or the car you drive or the people you know?
Is it money or celebrity or power or accomplishments? Because I have all those
things and I don't think it's enough.
Peyton: Well then, what is?
Brooke: Love, I think. And that love can be for a boy or a girl or a
place or a way of life or even for a family. But where you find it is up to
you. So where are you gonna find that love, Peyton?
Peyton: I think I need to go home.
Brooke: Yeah. I was hoping you'd say that.

Episode 2: Racing Like A Pro

Lucas (voiceover): My name is Lucas Scott. Four years ago I graduated
high school with my friends. Brooke Davis moved to New York City and found
success. Peyton Sawyer went to Los Angeles, success didn’t come so easily. I
wrote a novel and fell for my editor, Lindsey. My brother Nathan saw his dreams
vanish, leaving his wife Haley and their son Jaime more fragile than ever.
Things have changed in four years, but in many ways this is just the beginning.


Haley: The rest of your life is a long time and whether you know it or
not it's being shaped right now. You can choose to blame your circumstances on
fate or bad luck or bad choices or you can fight back. Things aren't always
going to be fair in the real world, that's just the way it is but for the most
part you get what you give. Let me ask you all a question. What's worse not
getting everything you wished for or getting it but finding out it's not
enough? The rest of your life is being shaped right now with the dreams you
chase, the choices you make and the person you decide to be. The rest of your
life is a long time and the rest of your life starts right now.

In your life you're going to go to some great places, and you're going to do some wonderful things. But no matter where you go or who you become, this place will always be with you. There is only one Tree Hill. And it's your home (Karen)
