Episode Quotes
 
Lucas: (voiceover) 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 peoples lives have we been in. Were we a part of someones life when that 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.
 
Whitey: Crap! That pretty much sums up this season. You started out this year with a crappy attitude, you played like crap, you took my crap, you cleaned up rat crap from a crappy gym. Well all that crap's over now. At least you made it to the finals. Some of you are seniors -- this is your last chance for a state title. It's my last chance. So get out there and play like the champions I know you can be!
 
Nathan: So you don't think I'm crazy?
Haley: No, I do not think you're crazy.
Haley: Do you think I'm fat?
Nathan: What!? Of course not.
Haley: Do I have a little head?
Nathan: No. I love your head.
 
Rachel: If you're looking for Nathan, he's in my bedroom.
Haley: If you're looking for a black eye, it's in my fist.
 
Nathan: I need to be tutored. I think I'm failing marriage.
Haley: Did you try sleeping with the teacher?
 
Rachel: So, who is the father? Lucas?
Brooke: You don't know jack unless he's one of those guys whose beanstalk you climbed the other night.
 
Skills: You know you all are missing something out there right? Wanna know what it is?
Nathan: Let me guess ... you?
Skills: Same old story, dog. Whitey trying to keep a brother down. (Whitey walks up behind Skills) Look, somebody gotta tell the old man that they don't call me Skills 'cause I'm really good at picking splinters outta my ass.
Nathan: (to Whitey) They don't call him Skills cause he's really good at picking splinters out his ass.
Whitey: All right Skills, lets see what you've got. God forbid Whitey should keep you down.
Nathan: You're welcome.
 
Skills: You can't hide from life, dog. You got to live it.
 
Haley: You gonna kiss her now too?
Lucas: Excuse me, what?
Haley: Brooke told me that you kissed Peyton, again. Luke, that's the dumbest thing you've done since the first time you kissed her. What the hell were you thinking?
Lucas: I was thinking that she was dying. She's lying in my arm, blood is pouring out of her leg and she kissed me. And anyway, you know, do you really wanna go there?
Haley: What does that mean?
Lucas: What leg were you shot in when you kissed Chris Keller?
 
Haley: Stay the hell away from my husband.
Rachel: I was just giving him a proper thank you.
Haley: Your thank yous send people to the free clinic.
Peyton: Ha.
Brooke: What are you laughing at? Your I love yous send people to their grave.
Peyton: Well in that case, I love you, Brooke.
