One Tree Hill, Season 8

One Tree Hill (2003-2012) is an American teen television drama airing on The WB (now The CW) in the United States.

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 ...our hearts are willing, but our bodies say no. And that happens to be the case with me. Because of this, I'll be leaving the game of basketball.

Brooke:
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.

Nathan:
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 won't be taking any questions tonight. Instead, there's a long interview conducted by Mouth McFadden at his website, mcfaddensports.com.

Brooke:
I won't be taking any questions tonight. But I just want to ensure the investors of my company, now my former company, that you will all be paid back in full 100%. 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?"

Brooke:
For those of you who believed in me once,I hope you can believe in me again...

Brooke & Nathan:
For now, I say goodbye to this chapter of my life..... And I look forward to what comes next

Brooke:
You almost forgot this.

Chloe:
Thanks.

Brooke:
Chloe, wait. There's something I need to say to you before you decide that we're not the right parents for your baby, starting with I'm sorry. I know I said a bunch of things to you this morning that weren't true, and I left out some things that maybe I shouldn't have, like losing my company and maybe my mom going to prison. But I did that because I was worried about what you would think of us.

Chloe:
Brooke, I'm 19 and pregnant. I kind of get the whole passing-judgment thing.

Brooke:
But I'm not 19, and I know that I should've been honest with you.

Chloe:
So be honest now.

Brooke:
When I was a teenager, I was a mess. I was popular, but I had no idea who I was or what I wanted. And I started a clothing line, and it became more successful than I could have ever dreamed. But even at the height of my success, I always felt like something was missing, love, a family. And then I met Julian and he is an amazing director, but he’s an even more amazing man., and I know he’s gonna be the most amazing father. So there was a time when I didn't know who I was or who I wanted to be. But I've known for a long time now. I want to be a mom. And I want to see Julian be a dad. And I want our child to feel loved and protected, even when they're struggling, like I did, like...like we all have.

Chloe:
You look really wasted here.

Brooke:
I was. I have better ones if...

Chloe:
no, it's...it's okay. Thank you for telling me the truth. I'll think about it, okay?

August Kellerman:
Whatever you think you know,you've made a mistake.

Nathan:
I saw the car in your garage.

August Kellerman:
First of all,my home and my vehicle are my own business. Beyond that, I had an accident.So what?

Nathan:
So what? So you nearly killed my son and a good friend.

August Kellerman:
You're wrong. I swerved to miss some deer, and I hit a light pole.

Nathan:
You hit a car, Kellerman, on the Gabel Bridge, and then you drove away and left two people drowning in the river when the levee broke.

August Kellerman:
I didn't...

Nathan:
You didn't what? You didn't do it, or you don't remember doing it, considering the empty bottle of bourbon I found underneath your front seat?

August Kellerman:
You're making a mistake.

Nathan:
Okay.So, you had an accident the night of the big storm, you smashed the front of your late-model maroon Grand Wagoneer, and then you drove away without anybody seeing. Meanwhile, a different late-model maroon Grand Wagoneer crashed into my son's car on the same night at around the same time, and then also drove away. And the eyewitness is mistaken.

August Kellerman:
I have nothing else to say to you.

Nathan:
Well, I have something to say to you. My son was trapped inside that car. He was scared, and he was alone, and you left him there. His godmother nearly died that night in front of his eyes. And you could have helped them, but instead, you slipped into the shadows like a coward. Well, I'm about to shine a light into those shadows because I know what you did, and you know what you did. And this is going to be made right by you or by me. You think about that.

Millie:
I'm standing here today on a small piece of history in Tree Hill. No costumes, no catchphrases...just a story about a local landmark that is soon to be erased, developed into condominiums unless something changes. The landmark is called the Rivercourt, and for those who loved it, its absence will be heartbreaking. For more on this story, here's someone who learned his craft here...my colleague, Marvin McFadden.

Mouth:
It’s been host to authors, NBA players, local legends and fashion designers. Notable musicians have played here… both concerts and games of ‘horse.’ And on gentle summer nights as the staccato rhythms of worn leather on fading asphalt mixes with the white noise of the distant nightlife across the Cape Fear, Kids have grown up here. I should know, I was one of them. Now development threatens to erase this place. Commerce is commerce. That's not really the point, is it? The truth is, a town's identity is made up of places like this one. And once they're gone, they're gone. Some people who care about this court have uncovered a nest nearby that could be the key to stopping the bulldozers you see behind me. But even so, do we have to find a technicality to preserve our town's history? [Looking to Nathan] A lot of lost kids found their way to something better in this park. In a confusing world, at a confusing time in their lives, they found something that made sense here, and they became better people because of it.Surely that is worth preserving. For Millicent Huxtable...Who I love with all my heart,I'm Marvin McFadden reporting.

Jamie:
You know, I do believe in magic... I was born and raised in a magic time... in a magic town... among magicians... Most everybody else didn’t realize we lived in that web of magic, connected by the silver filaments of chance and circumstance, but I knew it all along. See? This is my opinion; we all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside of us. We are born able to sing to birds and read clouds, and see our destiny in grains of sand…but then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, washed out, spanked out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. And you know why we were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our wildness and youth, and because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad of what they’d allowed to wither in themselves. After you go so far away from it, you can’t really get it back. You can have seconds of it, just seconds of knowing and remembering...

Alex:
When people get weepy in movies, it’s because in that dark theater, the golden pool of magic is touched, just briefly…

Mouth :
then they come out into the hard sun of logic and reason again, and it dries up, and they’re left feeling a little heart sad, and not knowing why...

Haley:
When a song stirs a memory...

Quinn:
when motes of dust turning in a shaft of light takes your attention from the world...

Dan:
when you listen to a train passing on a track at night in the distance, and you wonder where it might be going...

Brooke:
you step beyond who you are and where you are...

Jamie:
for the briefest of instance, you have stepped into the magic realm. That’s what I believe
