Episode Quotes
Dan: So that's it. You're just going to make that decision?
Nathan: You made that decision for me the moment you pulled that trigger.

Lucas: How's it going? Better?
Brooke: Yeah, I'm starting to get it down. She's sleeping through the night now.
Lucas: See? I told you you'd be a good mom.

Nathan: (to Quentin) I've thrown a lot of punches and every last one was selfish.

Brooke: Thank you for being here for us.
Lucas: Thank you for letting me.

Brooke: (to Angie) Thank you for being so good today. We make a pretty good team, me and you. I know this surgery is really scary but I'm gonna be right here for you okay? We're gonna get through this together. Yeah and I know I'm not your real mom but I could just use a sign or something to let me know I'm doing okay. (Angie smiles) Okay. It's you and me, baby.

Haley: Look, before the wedding I told Lucas that he shouldn't marry Lindsay.
Peyton: Why?
Haley: Because I had just read his new novel and when I did I knew right away that he was still in love with you, whether he's ready to admit it or not.

Dan: Without a transplant I'll be dead within six months.
Lucas: But you're dead to so many of us already, Dan. Really, what does it matter?
