Episode Quotes
 
Nathan: You saved my wife. And you saved my son. But you killed my uncle. Right here where I'm standing. I don't know where that leaves us. At least my son loves you.
Dan: My son hates me.
Nathan: Both of them.
 
Haley: Sam, I can't just pretend like this didn't happen. You are 15 years old! There has to be something better for you.
Sam: You seem nice, but I'm not your girl. I'm not anybody's girl.
 
Lon: Wow. You know this turnout isn't exactly inspiring me to read your book, Lucas.
Lucas: Well, whose brilliant idea was it to put this signing in the science-fiction section?
Lon: It's a book about space, right?
Lucas: No. Actually um, the comet's a metaphor. It's a love story.
Lon: Huh. Well, you know what? We could've had this thing out in the middle of main street. We wouldn't have got any more traffic.
Lucas: Thanks for the support!
 
Lucas: I'm coming home. They cancelled my book tour.
Peyton: What are you talking about? Why?
Lucas: Doesn't matter.
Peyton: No, it does matter. You worked so hard for this.
Lucas: Hey, it's okay, Peyton. I mean, I still have you, and that's all that really matters. Besides, this book brought us back together. So it's the best thing I've ever written.
Peyton: You come home to me then. I love you.
Lucas: I love you, too. I'll be home soon.
 
Owen: Hey, what's up Jamie? How you doing buddy?
Jamie: Sorry Owen, but I'm on Team Brooke.
 
Lucas: I've signed exactly two books today. One of those was a Gossip Girl book.
Mouth: Hey, I heard those were pretty good.
Lucas: That's not helping.
 
Lucas: Why do you think he’s avoiding admitting that he’s your father?
Peyton: I don't know, maybe I’m wrong, maybe he’s not. Either way I will be alright. Don’t worry about me!
Lucas: You know I will.
 
(on the air for his sports report)
Mouth: Okay, before we jump into the day's scores, I wanted to follow up on a story we did a couple of weeks ago about Darren Rivers. Now for those of you who just landed on Earth, he's the pro ball quarterback who shocked the world last month when he retired from the NFL, turning down a 68 million-dollar contract extension so he could spend more time with his family. Now naturally, I put up a crazy meter with Darren's face in the middle of it. I gave him an 8 out of 10. Well, it turns out he might be the least crazy of all of us. You see, he just realized that money isn't everything. I think sometimes we all lose sight of what really matters the most. Darren Rivers just figured it out before I did. So Darren, please accept my sincere apology and I'm officially moving you down the crazy meter from an 8 to a 3. 'Cause let's face it, you still turned down 68 million dollars.
