Episode Quotes
 
Psycho Derek: Who the hell are you?
Derek: I'm her brother, bitch!
 
Nathan: (on the phone) Hello. Yes sir. A full scholarship? Yes sir. Tell Coach K I won't let him down. Thank you. Yes! Haley, I'm going to Duke!
Haley: I'm pregnant. It's not Brooke, it's me.
Nathan: How long have you known?
Haley: A few weeks.
Nathan: A few weeks!?
Haley: I'm sorry, I didn't know how to tell you. Can you talk to me? Can you tell me what you're thinking?
Nathan: Do you still want to go to Stanford?
Haley: What?
Nathan: Stanford, for college.
Haley: Um yeah, I mean of course I do, but I don't --
Nathan: (phone rings) I have to go.
Haley: Nathan! Nathan! I'm pregnant. We're pregnant. At least just tell me how you feel about that.
Nathan: I feel like you should have told me a few weeks ago. That's how I feel.
 
Nathan: (at the press conference) As many of you know, I called this press conference today to announce where I’m planning to play basketball in college. I got a lot of great offers but it's always been my dream to play in Duke University, so, uh, that's where I plan to go but ... You know my father said that today will be the greatest day of my life, and you're right Dad, it is but it's not because of basketball. You see today I learned that my wife Haley is pregnant, and it’s an absolute honor to be recruited by Duke University. I guess what I have to say to you today it’s this: Where I play basketball, if I play basketball, is no longer a decision for me to make alone, it’s a decision that I make with my wife and my family's best interest to her and what I do I let you all know. And my wife couldn't be here today so I just want it to say one thing to her: Haley, no matter what happens we'll face together. I promise you, I’ll never been happier, everything is going to be okay. I love you. Thank you.
Haley: (while watching the press conference on TV with Karen) I love you too.
 
Nathan: (to Haley) You know, I thought it was a miracle that I survived that accident. And I guess I never really felt worthy of it. Now I know that miracle wasn't for me. It was for us. All three of us.
 
Karen: Welcome to my history, Haley James Scott.
 
Whitey: You ought to be proud of Nathan today, putting his dreams on hold so history wouldn't repeat itself.
Dan: He acted like a child.
Whitey: No Danny, he acted like a man.
 
Rachel: I feel like we're connected somehow Nathan. Like we're the only two people on the planet trying to understand this. Well, maybe we can help each other through it.
Nathan: Haley's pregnant.
Rachel: You mean Brooke.
Nathan: No, the rumors were wrong. It's Haley. You know, ten minutes ago I was this close to my dream. For a moment I actually knew exactly who I was gonna be, and now --
Rachel: I didn't see Keith. I'm sorry. I heard you talking to Peyton at the party and I'm an idiot. Nathan, you're going to be okay.
Nathan: Sure. I owe thousands of dollars in hospital bills, my wife is pregnant and I think my dead uncle saved my life.
Rachel: Your parents have money, your baby's going to be beautiful and maybe your dead uncle saved your life because you're destined for greatness. Nathan, if Haley wasn't pregnant, did I have a shot?
Nathan: Not for a second.

Analysis
 
This episode is a good example of how much Nathan has grown and matured since season 1. In the first season, Nathan wouldn't have thought twice about accepting a scholarship to Duke but even when he has the opportunity to do so in front of him in this episode, Nathan doesn't immediately take it, putting his wife and family before his own desires. In addition, this episode also demonstrates how different Dan and Nathan have become. Dan tells Nathan that the day he signed his letter of intent was the best day of his life, but Nathan says that learning that Haley was pregnant made this the best day of his life, not the scholarship offer.
