Episode Quotes
Lucas: (voiceover) Sometimes I wonder if anything is absolute anymore. Is there still right and wrong, good and bad, truth and lies? Or is everything negotiable? Left to interpretation; gray? Sometimes we're forced to bend the truth, transform it, because we are faced with things that are not of our own making. And sometimes, things simply catch up to us.
(Peyton and Brooke are researching Psycho Derek's past)
Brooke: Oh my God, his girlfriend looks just like you, if you --
Peyton: If I what?
Brooke: If you were dead.
Nathan: There are only 3 things I'm afraid of losing in this world, Haley. You, our son, and the game.
Haley: Nathan, you're going to lose it all -- your scholarship, the game that you love.
Nathan: I won't lose it all. I'll still have you, and we'll still have our son. We'll have that feeling that in the face of all this, we didn't lose our way and we still know right from wrong.
