Lucas: (voiceover) The hardest part of saying goodbye is having to do it again every single day. Every day we face the same truth that life is fleeting. That our time here is short. And to honor the fallen, we must live our own lives well.

Haley: Congratulations on your first Tree Hill catfight. I've had a few in my time.
Sam: Spare me the female bonding, okay? I may be new, but I've heard all about Mrs. James-Scott, a cheerleader who dated the star of the basketball team. That is, when you weren't on a rock tour. Your life must have been really tough. So just don't pretend like you know anything about my problems, okay? See you in detention, Hannah Montana.

(to Nathan)
Lucas: You know, it's funny. All these years that we called him "Skills" I always thought it had something to do with basketball.

Skills: (to Nathan) Hey, Nate. Can we talk?
Jamie: Hey, Grandpa!

Jamie: It is because she was kissing Uncle Skills?
Nathan: You knew about that?
Jamie: Yeah, they tried to pretend he was getting something out of her eye, but they were just being all mushy.
Nathan: Yeah, and how does it feel to be scarred for life?
Jamie: Fine. I like Nanny Deb. I like Uncle Skills. So what if they like each other?
Nathan: It's a little more complicated than that. You know your Nanny Deb is also my mom.
Jamie: Yeah, but I let you kiss my mom.
Nathan: Eat your soup.

Haley: You ok?
Brooke: I just wish I had a family like yours.
Jamie: You do. You're Aunt Brooke.

Jamie: What does it say, Mama?
Haley: "You will soar on wings like eagles. You will run and not grow weary."
Jamie: Do you think there's basketball in heaven?
Haley: I know there is.

Haley: Some people like to buy their headstones before they die, like way before. Like the backpack that we got you the week before school started. It's like that. Grandpa Dan's just being prepared.
Jamie: To die in a week?

Olivia: Was there a history of abuse in your family? Growing up, I mean.
Brooke: Not unless you consider a high credit-card limit and no supervision abuse.

Skills: Deb broke up with me.
Haley: Well, I guess you can tussle with a cougar, but you don't get bit.
Skills: Why everybody think it's a big joke?
Haley: Deb's just done a lot of wacky things in her life. We never thought you'd be one of them.

Brooke: Someone died last week. And I wasn't close to him, but my friends were, and yet, in the midst of all their grief, I felt nothing. I just felt cold. And I realized I'm turning into the one person I do not want to become. I'm turning into you.
Victoria: What do you want me to say, Brooke? That I was a failure as a mother? You got everything you wanted.
Brooke: Except your love.
Victoria: When I was your age, I dreamed of having a clothing line, of having a business, of all the things you have. But I stupidly fell in love. And one morning, your father and I got a little surprise. I told him I didn't want kids. It was never the plan. But he wanted a son more than anything. And as soon as I got fat, he had an excuse to jump into any bed he wanted. And when we had our little baby girl, I made sure I would never be pregnant again. If I couldn't have my dream, your father couldn't have his, either.

Lucas: (to the team) Years from now the record books will show that the Ravens lost to the Wildcats on this night. But here's something that those records won't show, something that no one in that gym will ever forget. That the four-man Ravens made the Wildcats fight, and scratch, and claw for every single second of that win. And in doing so they showed that a team will always be more important than statistics. When your grandkids ask you about this game, you tell them that you played hard for Quentin Fields, that you stood tall and you did it to honor your friend. You should be proud of yourselves, men. I know I'm proud of you.
