Episode Quotes
 
Lucas: (voiceover) There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment who will you be? Will you let down your defenses and find solace in someone unexpected? Will you reach out? Will you face your greatest fears bravely or move forward with faith? Or will you succumb to the darkness in your soul?
 
Lucas: (voiceover) There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path while others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be honored by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up.
 
Brooke: Burn me at the stake, but I like boys and I like sex.
Shelly: So did I, but --
Brooke: So did I? Wait a minute? You have a virginity club, and you're not even a virgin?
Shelly: I am now. I'm a born again virgin.
Brooke: A what?
Shelly: Just because you make a mistake, doesn't mean you can't start over. I made a pledge, I'm recommitted.
Brooke: Shelly, I hate to break it to you, but your either a virgin or your not. And a pledge does not a broken hymen mend.
 
Haley: Nathan bought a motorcycle.
Brooke: Well, Rachel (whispering) thinks I should have an abortion.
Haley: Okay, your's is worse.
 
Mouth: Tough night, huh?
Brooke: Stupid rumors.
Mouth: Brooke, um, the other night at the party, you and Rachel thought I was asleep, but I wasn't. I heard you talking and I know Rachel thinks you shouldn't have this baby, but she's wrong. You are gonna make a great mother. I honestly believe that.
Brooke: I need to tell you something.
 
Haley: Nathan? God, what happened?
Nathan: It's okay, don't worry. These days can, I don't know, they can graft skin from my ass.
Haley: Are you hurt anywhere else?
Nathan: No, I'm fine. The bike's pretty messed up though.
Haley: Bike. Great. Okay, I want you to get the car back as soon as you can because I need you on this planet.
 
Karen: Deb fired me.
Dan: Fire is her specialty.
 
Haley: Stay away from him! For all I care you can go to hell, but I won't let you take Nathan with you.
Deb: Talk to me in a few years Haley, when your dreams are dead and your child betrays you. Then we'll see what kind of mother you'll be.
Haley: No, no, I will never, ever be like you Deb.
Deb: Pretty soon Nathan's going to realize playing college basketball is a lot more fun than playing house. I'll save you some pills.
Haley: Who are you kidding Deb? Junkies don't save pills.
 
Haley: Nathan, I know that it's really hard for you to explain what happened to you down under that water and maybe Keith did save you, maybe you saved yourself. I don't know, but the point is either way it means that you are supposed to be here right now.
Nathan: Hales, that's not it. My mom came into school today and in front of everybody chose pills over me.
