"Do you know what's missing?" "Cash from the register and the sketches for my new line." "I don't trust you or like you." "So how about you stay out of my bed and stay away from Marvin." "You convince Lucas to do the movie." "You'll make it the movie he wants it to be?" " Absolutely." "Hey, Nate." "I'm happy to be a part of it, man." "What's that?" " The comeback." " Don't call it a comeback, man." "A little old man and I fell out" "I'll tell you what it was all about" "He had money and I had none" "And that's the way the noise begun" "Seventy-four." " You sure?" "Yep." "Seventy-four inches, Daddy." " 6'2"." " I can measure it again." "No, it's okay." "I've been 6'2" since I was 17." "Is that bad?" "Well, if I was 6'5" I might be in the pros by now." "What if you were 8-foot-5?" "I'd probably be dead of heart failure." "Well, I think 6'2" is perfect." "Heck, I'd settle for 4'2"." "Well, you can thank your short-pants mom for that." "He got some good stuff." "Like the piano he's gonna rock at the talent show tonight." "Huh?" "Huh?" " Are you gonna be there, Daddy?" "I wouldn't miss it." "I wish I could come with you today." "I know." "I'll tell you what." "I'll tell you all about it, okay?" "And this idea you have." "That's what you want to do?" "It's what I have to do." "Sam." "Breakfast." "Hi." "He spent the night in your bed." "In my house." "Well, I thought it was about time a guy stayed here." "Watch yourself." "Look, he's my friend, and he lives with his brother and he just..." "He beats on him sometimes, and he needed a place to crash." "Okay." "And does this half-nude window-fleeing friend have a name?" "Jack Daniels." "John "Jack" Daniels." "You expect me to believe a boy named after the rock band drink of choice spent the night in your bed and nothing happened?" "Dude." "I'm, like, 15." "Like that matters." "When I was 15..." "Never mind." "Tell me when someone is staying in my house." "And if your friend needs a place to crash again he can sleep on the couch." "Now, just go do something." "Hi, Luke." "I'll stay on the movie because it matters to me." "But you and I are not friends." "And you and Peyton aren't anything." "How is our girl Peyton?" "And how long have you been experiencing this pain?" "A few days." " Any history of diabetes in the family?" " Ulcers?" "Um..." "No." "Cancer?" "My birth mother died of cancer." "Why?" "What's the face you're making?" "I just want to run some tests." "Consider it a test." "You fly to Los Angeles and while you're gone if Peyton doesn't fall in love with me again then you'll know you two were meant to be." "You're a dick, you know that?" "Listen, the truth is, this guy's an A-list director he's got several offers, and you need to meet with him." " Today." " Why?" "Because we'd be equal partners on this movie and I need you to sign off on him." " And what are you gonna do?" "I'm producing a movie, Luke." "Contrary to popular belief I'm not staying in town to hit on your fiancée." "It's your book." "What?" "You just froze there, halfway out the window." "You looked like such a dork." "You didn't set the alarm." "Whatever." "She thought we were doing it." "As if." "What do you mean "as if"?" "A lot of girls would do it with me." "Yeah, but those girls are called prostitutes." "Why?" "Hi." "Producer guy, right?" "Orphan girl, right?" "From the concert." " Sam." " Julian." "I know." "You can help me." "Good." "You can help me too." "So, what happens at this...?" "What do you call it?" "A combine." "Coaches and scouts from the pro teams come watch you play." "And they pick you for the NBA?" "They pick you for the leagues right before the NBA." "You find them yet?" "No." "Hey, I think you should wear the number 12 next." " Why?" " I don't know." "I like the number 12." "It's what I'll wear when I'm in the pros." " All right." " Okay, I found them." "Oh, good." "These are really ugly, Dad." "They made a few models." "Just pick one you like, knucklehead." "Okay." "Your mom's excited you're playing the piano at the talent show." " I know." " You don't sound very pumped up." "I just kind of wanted to tell jokes." "Dude, I've heard your jokes." "Trust me, stick with the piano." "But the song is a kiddie song, and I'm not very good at it." "Well, all you can do is the best you can, all right?" "That's all that matters." "Speaking of which, are you telling me you can't find those shoes?" "I found the shoes a long time ago." "I just like it up here." " We found the shoes." " Yay." " You all set?" " Yeah." "All right." "I'll see you at the talent show." "Go be great." " Love you." " Love you." "Daddy." "All you can do is your best, okay?" "You want some coffee with that sugar?" "How do you take yours?" "I don't." "Never touch the stuff." "So you said I could help you out." "How so?" "I was thinking maybe you could read some of the stuff I wrote." "You're a screenwriter." "I write things." "I get a little pissed off sometimes, you know?" "Okay." "Tell me about Brooke Davis." "Dude, I am so not hooking you two up." "No, no." "Her clothing line." "Is she any good?" "Yeah." "I think you'd be lucky to have her." "For the movie, right?" "That's why you're asking?" "Give me your phone." "This is my number." "I'm happy to read anything you wanna send me." "You'd do that?" "I mean, I just kind of heard you're a dick." "I am." "But maybe I'll read something I can steal." "I got this." "Hey." "Is she single?" "Brooke?" "No." "Yeah." "You know, I'm betting you're actually nice." "And I'm betting you're not bitter." "Keep writing, Sam." "She's out of your league, my brother." "I told Gigi to stay away from Marvin, and then she's hugging him in the parking lot." "What were you doing in the parking lot?" "Spying." "What am I supposed to do?" "She's a horny college party girl." "Millie, he's amused by her." "So I don't want a guy who's amused by someone like that." "Okay." "I know those girls because I've been those girls." "And all guys are amused by it." "It doesn't mean anything." "Mouth is not gonna fall for that." "He's not." "Trust me, she's harmless." "You ever think about having sex on the news desk?" " No." "Maybe." "What are you doing?" " Well, the news team is on location so Chris said I could have my going-away party in here tonight. 6:30?" "I have to go to Jamie's talent show." "I'm totally not having my going-away party without you." "Please?" "One drink." "I wouldn't miss it." "You're gonna have to miss it." "Peyton, come on." "You have to get back into the studio." "Mia, I'm being very serious, okay?" "I'm so proud of you." "The first record did great." "But our friend, John..." "Who I do not have a thing for." " Is getting very impatient for the next one." "So just tell me that you have been working on the demos I asked you to do." " Peyton, I've had a lot going on." " Okay." "Fine." "How many songs do you have?" "I have a couple ideas." "All right." "The label would like for you to listen to this." " What for?" " Because there are some very talented expensive songwriters on there and they want you to pick a track to record." " But I write my own songs." " Apparently not." "Apparently you write a couple ideas." "Hello?" "Hi." "Oh, Luke, hi honey, I'm sorry." "No, no, no." "I was just expecting another call." "Yeah, no I had to leave really early this morning." "Um, I had a..." "Like, a meeting with a band." "Can you hold on one second?" "Okay." "Please, just listen to that." "Hi." "Okay." "Sorry." "L. A?" "Why are you going to L. A?" "Feel it, man." "All right." "Okay, you take care." "Name and affiliation." "Nathan Scott." "University of Maryland." "Professional affiliation." "Who invited you to the combine?" "No one did, sir." "These are professional tryouts, son." "Invitation only." "I understand that." "Look, I was an all-American at Maryland last season and I was just hoping that..." "Look, this is kind of my last shot." "Didn't you get thrown through a window?" "Please." "I'm sorry." "You can't be here." "Nathan." "He's with us." "You better go suit up." "Oh, wow." " Breakfast Club." "You were the priss." " Let me guess." "You were the stoner?" "If you say so." "They end up together." "Can I help you?" "You should design the wardrobe for the movie." "I'm not a costume designer." " Oh." "I can see that." " I'm starting a new line." "Lookit, let me try this again." "You design the wardrobe for the movie." "You were there, it's authentic, it's press worthy I'd have you before the debut of your line which I'm sure is going to be fabulous." "Sorry." "Hello?" "Yes, this is me." "It is too me." "Listen, I'm with Brooke right now." "No, I'm not gonna blow it." "Am not." "No, I'm not." "Sorry." "Sam says hi." " Sam, my Sam?" " Mm-hm." "Why does my Sam have your phone number?" " She has an interest in the film industry." " She is 15, you pervert." "Okay." "Just wrap your head around it, okay?" "You and the movie, I mean." "Not me and Sam." "She's only 15, you know." "You pervert." "Hey, man." "Whose shoes are those?" "Mine." "I know that, but I'm saying, who else's shoes are they?" "Ray Allen?" "KG?" "I heard what you asked, I meant what I said." "They're mine." "Whatever you say, baller." "Kid got his own shoe contract, but he's still trying out for the B league." "Don't matter none, anyhow." "Ain't nobody gonna give no roster spot to no fool with no green elf shoes on." "Hey, man, let me see those things, Riddler." "Thirty-seven inches." "You get a close enough look?" "Ten, 11, 12 13, 14, 15 16, 17." "Three point one." "Shame how you've let yourself go, Nate." "Kind of skanky, weren't you?" " What?" "In school." "You acted weird this morning because you were having sex at 15." " I was not." " You were too." "Is that where Clothes Over Bros came from?" "Tired of being the dirty girl?" "Because you're a bit of a prude now." "First of all, shut it." "Second of all, if I have been a little frigid lately it's probably because I was attacked in my store." "Not long before you moved in." "And it's made me a little closed off." "Especially with boys." "Oh, my God, Brooke, did he...?" "No." "No." "But I've been really angry about it." "And I have a whole other set of issues with Owen." "And I'm trying to let it all go, and I just wanted you to know." "Because I just wanted you to know." " Okay?" " Okay." "And, yeah." "For the record, I was pretty slutty in high school and I wish I hadn't been because you don't get to take any of that back." "Brooke." "I like talking to you." "Thanks, Sam." "I like talking to you too." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Hi." "Uh..." " I'm..." " Lucas Scott." ""And in that moment he realized it's not what you are or who you are, but who they allow you to be. "" "That is good writing." "Really good writing." "I love this script." "I love it." "I don't want to come out." "Come on, buddy." "I wanna see you." "No." "I look like a tool." "James Lucas Scott." "You look so awesome." "I look like a penguin." "You look cute." "Now, come over here, and we will go over this song again." "So cute." " Sorry." "I always mess that up." " It's okay." " You nervous?" " A little." "Yeah." "You definitely get that from me." "I wonder how Daddy's doing." "I remember now." "You played at Maryland, right?" "Got into a scrape right before the draft." "Man, you that fool." "6'5" and a quarter." "You hear that?" "Point guard, 6'5" and a quarter." "Thank you, God and my mama." "Nathan Scott, ladies and gentlemen." " 6'2"." " Ohh. 6'2" shooting guard." "Are there any scouts out here for the YMCA rec league?" "All right, all right." "Gentlemen." "Divide you up into groups and let you play." "Point guards on my right, two guards, left." "Forwards and centers other end of the court." "Show us what you got." "Let's go, fellas." "Nathan." "Two guards over here." "I'm trying out as a point guard." "Okay, but you ever played the point?" "I never played point guard in my life." "Better learn because you too short to play the two in the pros." "Bro, you're 6'2"." "And I was also 12 hours away from being an NBA Lottery pick, you idiot." "You sure wouldn't have made it." " You gotta move to the point." " You're out of your mind." " Nobody's ever told me this before." " Well, I'm telling you now, all right?" "And anyways, they all get their commission when you sign." "Ain't like nobody gonna risk their 10 percent by telling you the truth." "Huh?" "Now, look Nate, yo, if you can make it by playing against taller guys at the two, man, all good." "But if you can't, we work on your handle we work on your quickness, and we make damn sure you got the best shot of playing pro ball." "Why are you doing this for me, Q?" "This ain't just your dream, man." "So work on that left." "Numbers are funny." "They can measure you, time you, analyze you all they want but they all know what really matters is how you play the game." "He thinks I've lost a step because of my accident so he's gonna play me tight." "I haven't." "Good, man." "Nice job." "Now he'll back off because he doesn't wanna get beat off the dribble." "Just a half step." "That's a mistake." "You ever heard the expression "They can't measure heart"?" "Well, the truth is, they can't measure any of it." "Heart, want, need." "They think I can't play point guard." "But Q knew I could." "You can't measure a dream." "Mouth, you made it." "Here, you better catch up." "You're like the devil, you know that?" "No, just devilish." " What's that?" " Just a little going-away present." "Oh, it's the T-shirt I slept in after I threw up and passed out in your bed." "It's so sweet." "You never told me how you got me into this T-shirt, Mouth." "Maybe sometime you can get me out of it." " Is this your first script?" " Yeah." "Don't worry, I'll fix it." " Is there something wrong with it?" " No." "I love it." "I said I love it, and I love it." "I had a couple thoughts, that's all." "Okay." "Um, like what?" "All right." "Clear your head." "All right." "What if Haley dies." " You're serious." " I'm saying, think about it." "People love that stuff." "Man, DiCaprio died in Titanic." "That is gold, baby." "Gold." " Yes, but it didn't happen." " It doesn't matter." "Let me ask you this:" " Who goes to see this movie?" " L..." "The same little bitches who went and saw Titanic." "Young girls, man." "They don't have a voice." "But when they find something that speaks to them we're talking box office, baby." "You're king of the world." "Phew!" "Even so, Haley can't just die." "You got a vision." "I can respect that." "What about this:" "What if Lucas and Haley get married?" "I'm serious, because if there's one thing I know it's that the audience gets crazy over who ends up together." "Huh?" "It's what I do, Luke." "It's what I know." "Think about it." "I thought about it." "And I'm not interested." "You couldn't have told me that over the phone?" "Well, that, yeah, but the rest of this I wanted to say to your face." "I don't trust you." "Not with Peyton and definitely not with Sam." "And that is not gonna get you anywhere." "The grin." "I'm sure it's gotten you in a lot of doors and in a lot of beds but it's not gonna do you any good with me." "Listen, Brooke, when I make a movie, I set the bar as high as I possibly can." "I put together my wish-list cast, my wish-list crew, my wish-list designer." "And sometimes, you know, the timing works out the material works out, and you get lucky." "Sometimes you don't." "Good luck with everything." "I didn't listen to him." "I write my own songs." "Mia, I am not in the best mood right now and so it is a very bad time for you to make some naive little stand." "Do you think I'm naive?" "Peyton, I am not the same girl who left on tour last year, okay?" "God, I hope that's not true, because I liked that girl." "As a matter of fact, I loved that girl." "Oh really?" "Then what happened to protecting her?" "What happened to telling the label to be patient because my songs are great?" "Oh, I've been doing that." "I have been doing that for months now." "But what happened to actually doing the work, Mia?" "Now, the label wants you to record this song because they care." "When they stop caring, that's when we have a problem." " Well, I'm not gonna do it." " You are being so ungrateful." "Do you understand?" "I put my ass on the line for you every single day." "Well, I put my ass on the line for you every single night, Peyton." "Okay?" "Literally." "Did you see how short that skirt was that you put me in at the USO show?" "But I did it." "I've done everything you've asked me to do, but I am not gonna do this." "Hey." "I'm not sure you should be on this label anymore." "Life's too short." "Trust me." " Man, Madison's really killing it." " I knew I should've told jokes." "Seriously." "You're hosed." " Hi." " Hey." "You smell like alcohol." " Really?" " Yeah." " Is it bad?" " No." "Do you have any with you?" "No." "Hey." "Look who we found." "Hey." " Hi." "Hi." "Hi, Mouth." "Hey, baby." "Hey, baby." "How did it go?" "I did what my son told me to." "The best I could." " Here he comes." " He looks so cute." "He looks nervous." "Hi." "My name is James Lucas Scott, and I'm gonna play "The First Noel. "" "He's just gotta get past this first part and he'll be good." "Oh, no." "This is awkward." "How's everyone doing tonight?" "Last week, my mom asked me how I liked going to school." "I told her not as much as I like coming home from it." "And seriously, what's with the cafeteria food?" "I mean, I can't tell if kids are out sick from eating that stuff or we're actually eating the kids who are out sick." "Take my hot lunch." "Please?" "And now the big finish." "Something like that." "What do you want from me?" "I'm 5." "Thank you and good night." "Yeah!" " Whoo!" "Whoo!" "Should've gone to Jamie's talent show with Brooke." "You're kidding, right?" "I like them." "They're nice to me." "It's funny how you stole from Brooke Davis and called her a bitch and now you like her." "I was pissed off." "So what?" "What'd you say after she caught you shoplifting?" "You said she was a rich bitch, someone should put her in her place." "So?" "You said someone should put her in her place, Sam." "So tell me again why Lucas has to end up with Peyton." "Because they do." "Because that's the story." " Because that's what happens." " It's a movie." "You gotta raise the stakes." "Kill off one of the younger characters." "Hello." "Hi, doctor, it's me." "What does that mean?" "What's wrong?" "After you caught me shoplifting, I was with my friends and I said some terrible things about you." "Okay." "Sam, what happened?" "Don't, please." "Just don't." "I didn't mean them." "I didn't..." "I didn't mean any of it." "It's just..." "But..." "Sam, I'm sorry, I don't understand." "The attack." "It was my fault." "Bourbon is a good, honest drink, you know?" "Classier than whiskey, less of a stick-up-its-ass than Scotch." "I'm an alcoholic." "Owen, has Sam been in here tonight?" "No." "Why, what's wrong?" "We had a thing and she left, and I let her go, and I shouldn't have." " It's okay." "Here, have a seat." " No, I have to find her." "Brooke, come on, she's a teenager." "She's not even your teenager." "And what is that supposed to mean?" "I'll let you two..." " Julian, if she calls you..." " It's not my problem." "Look..." "I just mean, it's not like she's gonna stay with you forever, right?" "What is wrong with you?" "I came here because I need your help." "But..." "I mean, you know Sam." "She'll turn up." "No." "It's different this time." "But with you, it's exactly the same." "Hey, Brooke." "That's not fair." "I have to find her." "But I'll do it by myself, just like I always do." "Don't call me anymore." "So how about we rent a movie and then we can..." "I was looking for the number for the pizza place." "Oh, no." "No, no, Millie, it's not..." "It's not what it looks like?" "This isn't a half-naked picture of your ex-girlfriend in one of your T-shirts?" "She sent it to me tonight." "It was a joke." "Millie, please." "There is nothing going on between us, I swear." " I was gonna delete it..." " But you didn't." "You know what?" "You're an idiot." "Millie, don't go, please." "It doesn't mean anything." "You're wrong, Marvin." "It means everything." "How funny was your son tonight?" "Oh, he was goofy like his mom." "I think he was brave like his dad." "So, what's next with our comeback?" "Well, what's next is the phone's gonna ring." "And the answer is either gonna be a yes or a no." "It's going to be a yes." "I hope so." "But if it's a no, then this is the end of it." "And I'm okay with that." "Rough night, Millie?" "Horrible." "Yeah." "Me too." "You know, I haven't had a drink in over eight years." "Tonight that's gonna change." "I haven't had sex in over 22 years." "But tonight, that's gonna change." " Thank you." " Hey." " Hey, any luck?" " No." "Are you looking for her too?" "I'm not that guy, Brooke." "I'm just getting coffee, sorry." "Excuse me." "I'm looking for someone." "A young girl that comes in here a lot." "She's kind of a skater, sarcastic." "Her name is Sam, and she puts a lot of sugar in her coffee." " You've seen her?" " No, but that cute guy that just left asked me the same exact thing." "Thanks." "And then he got worried and he backed off just a half step." "So, what do you think I did?" " Pulled up for three, nothing but net." " That's right." "You know, I'm proud of you, buddy." "You took something that would've beaten most people and you kept going." "You turned it into something great." "So did you, Daddy." "All right, Chris Rock, I know you're still wired but it's time to go to bed." "How about a nursery rhyme?" "Okay, but you're gonna have to read it." "You want an old-school creepy one or a new one?" " Old-school creepy." " Okay." "Okay." "Where did we leave off?" "There." "Gentle." "A man of words and not of deeds Is like a garden full of weeds" "And when the weeds begin to grow It's like a garden full of snow" "And when the snow begins to fall It's like a bird upon the wall" "And when the bird away does fly It's like an eagle in the sky" "And when the sky begins to roar It's like a lion at the door" "Hi." "I have to tell you something." "And when the door Begins to crack" "It's like a stick across your back" "And when your back begins to smart" "Hey." "You okay?" "It's like a penknife in your heart" "Sam, this is my brother, X." "Have a nice night." "Having a bad night?" "And when your heart Begins to bleed" "You're dead and dead" "And dead indeed."
