Episode Quotes
Peyton: (voice message to Lucas) Hey it’s me, Peyton. Where are you? I really want to see you. Give me a call.
Brooke: Hey I want you to know I’m here for you. Whatever you need. And if she’s not home, I might even give you a sponge bath.
Lucas: Actually I can’t do that for a while.
Brooke: What? Bathe?
Lucas: No. You know. Sex.
Brooke: Oh. That sucks. A little cardio might just be what you need though.
Brooke: Peyton? I looked all over for you. You didn’t get my messages?
Peyton: Really? Oh no my phone’s been whacked out all day. Are you okay?
Brooke: (crying) Not really, no. I said I wasn’t going to do this and I said that it wasn’t worth it but it is. Lucas broke up with me.
Peyton: I’m sorry.
Brooke: (crying) I was looking forward to getting a chance to show him how much he means to me and he said he just wants to be friends. And every idiot knows that that’s just code for go away. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.
Karen: Is something wrong?
Jake: Well my dad just got called into work so there’s no one to watch Jenny.
Karen: Is that your sister?
Jake: That’s my daughter. Lucas didn’t tell you?
Karen: Well I should go check on Lucas.
Brooke: Will you let me?
Karen: Yeah.
Brooke: (in Lucas’ room) Lucas? (the phone rings)
Karen: Hello? Peyton. What?! Can you get him to the emergency room I’ll meet you there. Brooke. It’s Lucas. I got to go.
Brooke: Yeah I’m coming with you.
Brooke: Lucky thing you finding Lucas like that. If you didn’t come along, who knows what might have happened.
Peyton: Everything turned out okay.
Brooke: No, not really. I don’t know what hurts worse, you and Lucas sneaking around behind my back or you lying about it to my face.
Peyton: Brooke.
Brooke: No. The next time you want to steal my boyfriend, you might want to turn that thing off. (Looks to the web cam) I went into his room to check on him and his computer was on. I know you two were together. He meant everything to me, Peyton. And I was ready to try and be his friend if that’s what he needed. And now I don’t really care if I see either one of you again.
(Brooke leaves; Peyton looks at the web cam; Lucas is watching her on his screen)
Nathan: Is this a new outfit?
Haley: He noticed! Yes, it is. It’s all part of the new me.
Lucas: I’m just going to need some time to figure some stuff out.
Brooke: Whatever you need, I’m here for you.
Lucas: Yeah see that’s the thing.
Brooke: Are you breaking up with me?
Lucas: I just think it’s the best thing for right now.
Brooke: Maybe for you.
Lucas: Brooke, I’m sorry.
Brooke: Apparently not enough.
