Episode Quotes
 
Jamie: Can Uncle Mouth help me pimp my ride?
Skills: I don't think so. See, Uncle Mouth finally got a J-O-B.
Jamie: That spells job.
Skills: Man, you getting way too smart. It was a lot easier when you was three.
 
Peyton: Well?
Brooke: Well? Oh, don't look away, second and third greatest nights in your life just walked back into your world.
Peyton: You looking all rock star totally does it for me.
Brooke: It's very heroine chic Nate, I like it.
Nathan: What are you guys doing here?
Brooke: Well, Lucas tells me you can walk but you need a little incentive so we have come up with a drill.
Peyton: For every step you take we kiss.
 
Peyton: I was there Lucas. I was so proud of you but we hadn't talked in a long time and I saw you with Lindsey and I figured you guys were together, which clearly you are. I like her, I do, but do you remember when you first joined the Ravens and you took all my sketches to Thud without even asking? And do you remember what you said that night when you first entered the gym?
Lucas: Your art matters. It's what got me here.
Peyton: Yeah, it's like you touched my soul and a few days ago I was ready to quit again but you saved me with the words you wrote about me in your novel. So if your struggling writing the next one you should know that your art matters Lucas. It's what got me here.
 
Haley: (to Nathan) He is four and he needed his dad and his dad wasn't there. Nice work Dan.
 
Nathan: You don't get it, do you? I used to be somebody. Haley, do you understand that? Do you understand what that means? I used to be Nathan Scott and I was great. I should have walked away, okay? I know that. And I didn't do it. And now I'm nothing and I have nothing!
Haley: You have nothing? You have a beautiful son who is here. I am here. You have got to figure out who you're going to be in this, Nathan, 'cause this version of you does not work for us. I can not keep living like this, okay? Do you understand what I'm saying? One more night like this, Nathan, and I promise you -- you will have nothing.
 
(Nathan pushes himself into the pool, stays underwater for sometime, comes up gasping and then starts to walk underwater)
Nathan: I am Nathan Scott and I have too much to lose.
 
Haley: (closing voiceover)The rest of your life is a long time and whether you know it or not it's being shaped right now. You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate or bad luck or bad choices or you can fight back. Things aren't always going to be fair in the real world, that's just the way it is but for the most part you get what you give. Let me ask you all a question. What's worse not getting everything you wished for or getting it but finding out it's not enough? The rest of your life is being shaped right now with the dreams you chase, the choices you make and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time and the rest of your life starts right now.
 
Nathan: You know son, there's going to be a lot of times in your life when you're afraid. Being afraid is okay but if you don't work through that fear, you might miss out on some pretty great things.
Jamie: Are you afraid daddy?
Nathan: Sometimes. You?
Jamie: Sometimes.
Nathan: (about the soap box car) Well, we'll do this together.
(Jamie and Nathan race down the hill; Nathan is in his wheelchair, Jamie is in his soap box car)
