Episode Quotes
Brooke: But Lucas, you almost married Lindsay. Julian was just a rebound.
Lucas: You fall in love with rebounds?
Brooke: Every time. But it's not real love. Your head tricks you into it to protect you from the crushing pain your heart is putting you through.
Nathan: There's more to life than basketball.
Quentin: Oh, is that right?
Nathan: Every time I get to see Jamie laugh, it's a dream come true. Every time I get to hold Haley, it's a dream come true. They are my life.
Quentin: Then you owe it to them to be the very best version of yourself. The version where you fight for what you want. The version where you're not afraid to be great. You're better for them when you live in your dreams, man. And there is nothing, nothing selfish about that.
(to Brooke after listening to the message from the adoption agency)
Sam: Whoa, you're like the new Angelina!
Millicent: There was a girl in my bed.
Brooke: Are you coming out?
Millicent: No! It was Gigi. She was in my bed!
Brooke: Wait. You and Mouth had a three way with the hot high school ex? Really?
Haley: (to Derek) We all make different choices and we need different things. But I think eventually we learn to define happiness for ourselves, on our own terms, in spite of the pain other people have caused us.
Brooke: (to Julian) Then you should know that being the third person in the Lucas and Peyton love triangle doesn't end well.
Lucas: You know, it's hard for me to know that you were in love with this guy. But you've been so strong and so good to me when I've strayed from us. So I'm gonna try to let it go, okay? Besides, who wouldn't fall in love with you, Peyton Sawyer?
