"HALEY:" "Dear Lucas:" "Well, I've been volunteering at a crisis center for a couple of weeks now." "I'm struck by the number of people who are struggling in this world." "And as much as that saddens me, I'm also humbled by their strength and the courage they display in the face of their struggles." "Crisis Intervention, how can I help?" "WOMAN [OVER PHONE]:" "Hi, is this Haley?" "Uh, yes, it is, hi." "It's good to hear your voice, how are you?" "I've been better, that's for sure." "In high school my parents lost their fortune and it was difficult." "I remember feeling so helpless and thinking I wanna build something." "Own something, so this never happens to me." "And here I am." "Where is here?" "My company, Clothes Over Bro's, declared bankruptcy." "Which would have allowed me to keep the company but our investors would lose all of their money." "So I've decided to pay them back." "Every penny." "But to do that I have to sell the company and deplete my personal fortune, as well." "You're going to give away your money so that they don't lose theirs?" "Mm-hm." "And you have no obligation to do this?" "No." "Then why do it?" "Because it's the right thing to do." "I've been asking people this question." "It's sort of the point of this documentary." "It's a simple question that I'd like to ask you." "What comes next?" "I don't know." "For me I get to go and visit my mother in prison and tell her that I sold my company." "Good times." "Did you do it yet?" "No, I told you I'd wait, and I waited." "Sweet, it's gonna be so gross." "It's gonna be totally gross." "Come on, chop-chop." "You know, on second thought, I think I'm just gonna leave it." "Oh, no." "The doctor said that you have to change the bandages every other day, and it's been three days." "Clay's coming home today." "It can be something him and I do together." "Like a bonding thing." "Some couples go bowling, we'll change each other's gunshot wounds." "And besides, it feels kind of oozy." " Awesome, let's see it." " Quinn, I am a mother." "And I volunteer at a crisis center." "This is a piece of cake for me, let's go." "Okay." "It's not that bad, right?" " I'm gonna throw up." " Passing out here." "Haley." "Mouth McFadden." "Spending a little time in the past?" "Yeah, I still come out here to think, you know?" "I miss it." "How about you?" "One last look before camp?" "No." "I just came out here to think too." "Anything I can help with?" "Better be careful, Mouth." "Last time you helped me you got fired." "Now you're sitting out here at the Rivercourt, looking creepy and stalker-ish." "Ha-ha-ha." "This is true." "You're on your own this time." "Sometimes I wonder if I had to do it all over again, if I would." "Yeah." "Well, I don't know if I ever told you this but I respected you so much for refusing to report that story." "And I know a lot of other people did too." "Thanks." "I just wish one of them owned a TV station and could hire me." "How's that going?" "Eh, not so good." "I have a website where I do this sports podcast but the only hits I get are from Millie pretending she's not Millie." "Well, for what it's worth, I think the answer is yes." "If you had to do it again you'd do it just like you did the first time." "Because that's who you are." "And that's a guy we all like and respect." "[SIGHS]" "I just wish I was doing better." "NATHAN:" "How are you doing without your computer Mr. Technologically-Grounded?" "Fine." "Bored." "Did you tell Clay yet?" "Why do you ask?" "At the risk of losing my PlayStation, you avoid things, Dad." "It's what you do." "I do not, you dork, now, come over here." "Clay is healing right now, he's recuperating so I have to be respectful of that." " So you didn't tell him yet." " No." "You guys crack me up sometimes." "You and Mom and Aunt Quinn." "You worry about stuff that doesn't really matter." "Well, you're short." "Yeah, but I'm fast and your back is messed up." "You make a good point." "Okay, I'll talk to Clay." "I wish you were a Bobcat, Dad." "And I know you do too." "And I figure if you're not playing, you must really think it's for the best." "And if I can understand that, Clay will too." ""Closed over Bro's."" "Closed over Bro's?" "What is wrong with you?" " Mom..." " I am rotting in a prison." "Prison." "And you give away my company?" "Oh." "Our company?" "It's unforgivable." "It was the right thing to do." "Screw the right thing to do." "I'm in prison." "Those people believed in me, Mom." "I believed in you too." "Look where that got me." "I leave you alone for a few days and you go back to being that stupid girl who follows her heart." "I never cared for that version of you." "I never will." "Don't visit me again." "Hey, Nate." "Hey, man, what's going on?" "I came from seeing Clay." "I wanted to talk to him about the documentary." "The whole "what comes next" theme seems to apply." " Say anything about me retiring?" " No, figured you hadn't yet." " Why is that?" " Jamie says you avoid things." "I'm totally gonna take that kid's PlayStation." "Ha-ha-ha." "Well, if you do, maybe he could use this." "My dad was a lifelong Pirates fan." "When I was a kid, he gave me this glove, said it belonged to Roberto Clemente." "It must have killed him that I was such a horrible player." "I thought Jamie might like it." "Are you sure about this?" "This is probably worth a lot of money." "Yeah, but it'll be worth a lot more when Jamie goes pro." "Besides, that glove belongs on the hand of someone who loves the game." "Me, I used to stand out in right field and chase butterflies." "The glove respects what I'm doing here." "I'm sure it does." "Probably didn't respect that you brought it in a purse." "That's a man bag." "If that's your story." " Just take the glove." " I'm sure he's gonna love it, thank you." "And as far as your documentary goes, you should consider Mouth." "Talk about a guy who's starting over." "Thanks, I will." " Good luck with Clay." " Thanks." "It is a man bag, by the way." "Oh, you mean that purse?" "Well, well." "Hey, check this out." "[GROANS]" "Right side entrance wound." "Right side exit wound." "Right side kidney transplant." " Strong." " Ha, right." "I'm done." "Word on the street is you get to go home today." "Yeah, I think so." "Well, I'm here for you, buddy." "I know, but you shouldn't be." "You gotta get to camp, man, you have a contract." "You have a nice new contract." "And speaking of which, I, uh..." "I hope it's not too weird for you." "But my former employer is gonna be repping you for a while." "ISC, why?" "Because I got shot." "They offered to represent my clients until I was up to it." "It's the right thing to do." "Aren't you worried about those guys stealing your clients?" "Yeah, but what am I gonna do?" "I can't represent anyone right now." "I can barely eat applesauce." "And anyway, if a client's gonna leave, they'll leave." "At least I'll always have you." "Unless you don't go to camp." "Yeah, listen, Clay." "About that, I know how hard you worked for me to be a Bobcat and it'll always mean the world to me." "But the doctors say that my back is getting worse." "And I've been doing a lot of soul-searching about it." "I think it's time for me to stop." "I'm sorry, Nate." "It's gotta be really hard for you." " Dude, don't say that." " Why not?" "I've been worried about how much this was gonna hurt you." "Me?" "Why, because of the new contract?" "Yes, because of the new contract." "Nate, you're my best friend." "And my best client." "But your health comes first." "Your family comes first." " How long have you known this for?" " About my back?" " Pretty much since you got shot." " Ugh." "You see, this is what you do, man, you avoid things." " I do not." " Yeah, you do, even Jamie knows it." "Yeah, we've established that, thank you." "You're a warrior, Nate." "Man, I'm proud of you." "You're doing the right thing." "If I had known there was any concern over your back, I wouldn't let you play this year." "Thank you, Clay." "Means a lot." "Any idea what you're gonna do next?" "Yeah, I'm gonna help my best friend rehab." "Did you see me own that applesauce earlier?" " Strong." " Very strong." "[CHUCKLES]" "HALEY:" "Ugh." "I thought you weren't coming." "Under the bridge, really?" "What, we always came here." "You and Peyton always came here." "I was tutor girl." "I wasn't under-the-bridge girl." "Been searching every bridge in Tree Hill." "The homeless love me by now." "Sorry, I turned my phone off." "We can talk now, Brooke Davis." "Crisis Intervention, how can I help you?" "So I told my mom I'm selling the company." "And she yelled at me." "Your mom always yells at you." "Not like this." "She was really upset." "Like, no-going-back upset." "If your mom hadn't made the choices she made in the first place she wouldn't be in prison and you wouldn't have to sell your company." "This is all her own fault." "I know you're right." "It's just..." "After all the success." "After all the money the press, the awards, the celebrity..." "It's just been about getting my mom to love me." "To tell me she's proud of me." "And that's all it's ever been." "Yeah, that's all it ever is." "[PHONE RINGING]" "Mm." "I should really start a crisis line for my friends." " It's called your phone number." " Oh, tell me about it." "Come on." "Mia?" "Shh!" "Sorry." "What's, uh...?" "What's going on?" "Don't look at the bar." " I said don't look at the bar." " Okay." "Sorry." "Jeez!" "Look, I need you two to be honest with me." "Do you think they're sleeping together yet?" "You can look at the bar now." "No, you're fine." "I think they were having sex before he knew her name." "We're talking about Alex." "That's what I thought." "So I made this voodoo doll of her, check it out." "Okay, so here's what we're gonna do." "I'm gonna book you a show somewhere anywhere, and you're gonna get away." " Why?" " Because you're going a little crazy." "And you, your mother was always a bitch." "You should suck it up and have a drink." " You work at a crisis center?" " Yes, I do." "Well, those people are screwed, kind of like Chase there." "I'm sorry, it just..." "See, crazy." "Come on." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" " Mouth, I wanted to talk to you about..." " Sure, come on in." "Do you want a, uh, beer or soda?" "Uh, no, thanks, I'm good." "Do you have any beer or soda?" "No, sorry." "Oh, that's okay." "Have a seat." "I wanted to talk about this documentary..." "I'd love to, how much does it pay?" " Uh, well, nothing right now, I just..." " Fine, I'm in, under one condition:" "We start today." " Well, I got a couple things I gotta do..." " Do you know how lonely I've been?" "I haven't had a couple of things to do in weeks." "So clear your schedule, grab your camera and let's shoot this." " Listen, maybe you should think about it." " Come on, man." "I need this." " Hi, gorgeous." " Hey." "How are you feeling?" "Lucky to be alive." "And to be here with you in all of your oozy wonder." " Oozy?" " I talked to Jamie." "Ugh." "Gross." "I don't wanna talk about it." " Sorry I'm not so pretty for you." " Yeah, that's your story, come here." "You know, before you walked in I was lying here worrying about ISC stealing all my clients." "And then I thought:" ""I'm lying here." "Alive."" "Not just that, I get to go home and wake up next to you every morning." "And that's about as close to perfect as it gets." "Even on the days when your bullet wound is festering." "Ew!" "Ugh. "Festering" is a horrible word." "Ha, ha." "I don't want to fester." "Gross." "This is a miracle, Quinn James." "Let's try to remember that." "Okay." "But I still don't want to fester." "I think that's fair." "MOUTH:" "Okay, I'm coming out." "I don't need you to tell me you're coming out." "I need footage of your everyday life." "Just act like I'm not here and be natural." "MOUTH:" "Natural, got it." "Okay, here I come." "Wow, big day in the market." "That's good." "Yeah, yeah." "Ooh!" "Been a little sore from working out." "I like to keep in shape." "Keep everything looking good, feeling good." "[PHONE RINGING]" "Excuse me." " Hello." " Dude." "Surprised you still have a phone." "You homeless yet?" "No, just, uh, checking my stocks, kind of crazed." "If by crazed you mean lonely, horny and desperate." "Anyway, I was thinking about it, and I wanna help you out." "I can probably find you a few hours if you're still up for it." "A job offer, they've been chasing after me for a while." "It's just bar backing, but we'll have a good time and it'll keep the lights on." "What do you say?" "I appreciate the offer, and I like what you guys are doing there but you just need to call my agent." "Your agent?" "Right, sure he's gonna want 10 percent every time you clean the toilets or wipe the puke off the bar." "We can negotiate that in good faith." "Okay, here's the thing." "I know unemployment sometimes leads to crack smoking, and I understand that." "But I kind of thought you'd be a little more excited about this." "Now I just need to hear you say, "Chase, I'm your bar back," and the job is yours." "I can't commit to that right now." "They'll get back to me." "Magnum condoms?" "Well, that's embarrassing." " What are you doing?" " What?" "The clothes, the hair, the condoms for the larger man." "What, you said act natural." "This is who I am, this is how I dress." "There's a price tag on the back." "I can't remove it." "I gotta take it back after." "This only works if I can film you doing whatever you do on a daily basis." "Do you know how boring that's gonna be?" "Come on, it can't be that bad." "MAN [ON TV]: ...tiniest hairs on your head." "Know that peach fuzz you always see?" "It actually thickens hair many, many, many times over." "It actually builds on itself." "Giving you great-, great-Iooking hair." "He's done." "Spray it on." "You're right, this sucks." "[APPLAUSE ON TV]" "Yeah, we're very excited." "Okay, great, thank you." "Mm-hm." "Talk soon, bye." " Hi." " Do I avoid things?" "Well, you didn't avoid that question." " Heh." "Sorry, hi, babe." " Hi." "No, I don't think you avoid things." "Thank you." "That's what I said, but apparently I do." "Anyway, I talked to Clay." "Oh, you did kind of avoid that." " Was he disappointed?" " Yeah, for me, you believe that?" "He was so incredibly gracious." "I guess I should've known he would be." "What's going on with you?" "Not much, just, uh, booked a show for Mia in Portland." " Nice, you gonna go?" " I don't know." "You should go." "Soon you're gonna be all cooped up with the pregnancy." "You go, have some fun." "I'll stay here with the boy and take care of Clay and Quinn." "Well, maybe I will." "One more thing." "Come with me." "This is a little game I like to call:" ""Make any shot and do whatever you want to me."" "Really?" "Is my girl frisky?" "Crazy frisky." "I like this game." "You made me nervous." "Oh, look at that." " I do like this game." " Heh, heh." "MIA:" "She's staying." " Oh." "She's referring to Alex." "Looks like she's gonna be in town a while." "Well, it's a good thing we're not." "You're playing the K-100 festival in Portland." "Hales, I have to stay here." "Why, so you can spy and pout and stab voodoo dolls in the face?" "I don't think so." "Portland, you and me, it'll be fun." "Come on, let's go." "I feel bad for Mia." "Alex's powers are strong." "I would know." "And yet you're the one with the engagement ring, not bad." " Mm." " Even if you did get it from Julian." "Oh, ho." "Hey, you know what sucks?" "Being the only one who's giving up something that they love." "And being the only one who has a love/hate relationship with their parent who's in prison." "Oh, wait a minute, you have one of those too." " Mm." " How you doing with that?" "Not great." "Right." "Something tells me Julian's gonna be there for you, and you're gonna be fine." "But just in case, we're still here too." "Thanks, Nate." " Same." " Yeah." "[PHONE RINGING]" "Nathan here." " Tell them no." " Hmm?" "ISC said they'll be handling your clients." "I told them I was retiring." "Did you tell them why?" "I told them about my back, you know what they said?" "They said that you should risk it because it's a new contract." " Yeah." " What do you expect, Nate?" " Those guys are agents." " Those guys are douchebags." "You're an agent." "I wouldn't let them near your clients." "Nate, I can't even get around." "Yeah, but I can." "Look, you asked me what I was gonna do next." "Let me help you." "You can run everything from your beach house." "When you can't, show me the ropes and I'll go where you need to be." "Clay, you named your agency Fortitude for a reason." "Tell these guys to go screw themselves again." "We can do this." "No, right hand." " What you reading?" " Nothing." "I mean, it's a script, but I get sent a lot of scripts." "So it's not really a big deal." "Anything good?" "No, not really." "Look, if it bothers you, I won't bring them in to work." "Alex, it's fine." " I was just curious." " Okay." "By the way, you look amazing today." "Well, you are amazing today." "And you kind of were amazing last night." "Don't tell the boss about that." "So you sure you don't wanna stay and hang out?" "Yeah, the thing is..." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "Thank God." "Can you get that?" "If they ask for me, say I'm out." "No, say I'm at work." "The rent's a little past due." "Hey." "Took my advice, huh?" "Yeah, thanks a lot." "Mouth." "Nate, come on in." "What are you doing here?" "Do you know what fortitude means, Mouth?" "Sure, it means, um, facing adversity with courage and strength." "I'm hoping that's what we're both doing here." "Nate, could you just go back out and do all that again?" "If I were a baseball, where would I be?" "What's going on, Jim Jam?" "I was just thinking about Dad and the Bobcats." "Are you sad because he's not playing?" "Not sad, just worried." "What are you worried about?" "Well, remember the last time when he couldn't play?" "And he was in the wheelchair?" "Remember how sad he was?" "Yeah, I remember that." "But that's not gonna happen again, babe." "Why not?" "Because last time, basketball left your dad." "And this time, your dad's leaving basketball." "We're all gonna be just fine." "Okay?" "Okay." "I can't guarantee Chester's not gonna start drinking." "Mom." "He was a big fan of the fact that your dad was a Bobcat." "Come here." "Mwah." "Goodbye, sterling silver wedding gifts." "Goodbye, Willy Wonka chocolate fountain." "Mm." "Goodbye, Kings of Leon singing our first song." "Not you." "Not yet." "You make sad look beautiful, Brooke Davis." "What's going on?" "My mom yelled at me for giving up the company." "She called me stupid." "Yeah, well, your mom can be a real bitch sometimes." "Okay, let me get this straight." "Victoria lies about your profits, gets you arrested, then she yells at you for giving up your money and your own company." "A company you built and you loved more than anything to fix her mistake?" "Do I have that right?" "So are you gonna tell her how screwed up that is, or am I?" " I thought I told you not to visit me." " I know what you said." "And if that's what you want, then that's what I'll do." "But before I go, I just need to tell you something." "All my life, I've tried to make you proud of me." "Every decision I've made, every success, every failure I wondered what you will think of me." "Well, I think I've done pretty well." "I understand business." "I understand what we could do." "But I also understand what's fair what's right and what's honorable." "Do I want you to accept this and to support it and to be proud of me for it?" "Yes." "But if you don't it doesn't matter to me." "Maybe for the first time." "Oh, that's fine, Mother, roll your eyes." "But hear me when I say to you that today was the last time you will ever call me stupid, or speak to me the way that you did." "I love you, Mom." "But if you can't accept this the decision I've made then I won't visit you." "And you are not to visit me." "Not for my wedding, not ever again." "What comes next is up to you." "Wow." "Someone makes standing up look kind of sexy." " Hey." " Hi." "Are you ready to go?" " Yeah." "This is for you." " Heh." "A little birdie told me, for some crazy reason that you were feeling self-conscious about your injuries." "I don't know much about fashion, but I do know that no woman alive wears a dress like the one I love." "And nothing's ever gonna change that." "It's amazing, I love it." "But I love you even more." "That's good, because I'm thinking, you put on that dress I'll get my suit on, and let's get the hell out of here." "We're not leaving in that thing either." " Are you sure?" " Yeah." "They wheeled us into this place." "We're walking out." "God, you amaze me, you know that?" "I'm just getting started with you." "[APPLAUSE]" "What'd you expect?" "Confetti?" "When does the movie start?" " What movie?" " About Maggie." "The young but hot bartender, with eyes that hint at a broken past." "You read my script." "You weren't supposed to read that." "You weren't supposed to lie about it." "I'm an actress, Chase." "You can't get mad at me for taking a movie." "I'm happy you're taking a movie, you just didn't have to lie." "I didn't." "I mean, I didn't mean to." "Did you know about it before you took the job at TRIC?" " Yes." " Great." "It's not like that." "They didn't have financing at first." "It wasn't supposed to start right away." "So when does it start?" "I have to leave next week." "Hey, I still have a week." "We still have a week." "I like you, Chase." "More than you know." "So can't we just make this next week amazing and then figure it out after that?" "I'll come back to you." "We can make this work." "I don't think so, no." "Chase." "You shouldn't have lied to me, Alex." "How you doing?" " I'm okay." " Yeah." "Yeah, as long as we never leave again." "That's a long climb up those stairs." "Come on, you should get some rest." "We're gonna be okay." "Hey." "My dad got me into a peewee basketball league when I was 4 years old." "I've been playing organized basketball ever since then." "And in the back of my mind I..." "I always knew it was gonna come to an end someday, I just..." "I didn't know it would end today." "Yeah." "Your son is worried about you." "He wants to know that you're gonna be okay without the game." "And how's his mom doing?" "She's fine." "And she knows that her man is gonna be just fine." "And I will be." "Because of you." "You look nice." "Thanks, so do you." "Nathan has his, um, press conference." "Yeah, me too." "It seems like a lot of things are ending." "Or beginning." "You remember when you started this?" "I remember the day, because we were in our apartment and you were sad about a boy." "And I told you, focus on your talent." "Everything else will work itself out." "And it did." "Well, ahem." "Now I'm here to tell you the opposite." "Don't focus on your work." "Focus on your life." "You're young and beautiful and in love." "You have a wedding to plan." "You have an amazing man who loves you." "Focus on that, on Julian." "Everything else will work itself out." "Bro's over clothes." "[LAUGHS]" "Yeah." "Bro's over clothes." "Come here." "NATHAN:" "Letting go is never easy." "As athletes, we have an expiration date." "And even if our professional careers are substantial that expiration date comes pretty early." "Sometimes our hearts are willing, but our bodies say no." "That happens to be the case with me." "Because of this, I'll be leaving the game of basketball." "Obviously, there are things I regret." "Things I would like to take back." "Things I would change, if I could." "But we all have to live with the residue of our choices  and the consequence of our actions." "Now, I know that some of you may be concerned for me." "Concerned that I might struggle with the fact that my career has been cut short." "As Lou Gehrig said:" ""Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth."" "Finally, I, uh, won't be taking any questions tonight." "There's a long interview conducted by Mouth McFadden at his website, McFaddenSports." "Com." "I won't be taking any questions tonight." "But I just want to insure the investors of my company now my former company, that you will all be paid back in full." "One hundred percent." "Our mistakes shouldn't cost you a penny and they won't." "People say, "It's just business." "Don't take it personally."" "Well, I think business is as personal as it gets." "Just because the system allows it, it doesn't make it right." "NATHAN:" "Some people never get to touch their dreams." "Never get to know what that feels like." "Never find that thing they love or get to do it for a living." "So is it a tragedy to have that taken away from you?" "No." "The tragedy would be to lie awake at night, wondering what if?" "I guess we can't have the pineapple-y cake or the red-velvet cupcakes." "I was so proud of you tonight." "I am proud of you." "And I can't wait to marry you." "Come to bed, girl I love." "BROOKE:" "For those of you who believed in me once  I hope you can believe in me again." "For now, I say goodbye to this chapter of my life." "NATHAN:" "So for now, I say goodbye to this chapter of my life." "BROOKE:" "And I look forward to what comes next." "And I look forward to what comes next." "[English" " US" " SDH]"
