ONE TREE HILL

RIVERCOURT

Same scene from the end of 421

LUCAS (voiceover) : Sometimes, it feels like it was yesterday... graduating high school, saying goodbye. That feeling that you get at 17 or 18 that nobody in the history of the world has ever been this close, has ever loved this fiercely or laughed as hard or cared as much.

BROOKE : Okay. We're not gonna do this. We're not gonna get sad. Nothing's gonna change now. We'll all be friends forever. I know it.

LUCAS : Look, in four years, we're gonna be right back here. You know, done with college or wherever we go. Right?

HALEY : Yeah.

LUCAS (voiceover): Sometimes, it feels like it was yesterday, and sometimes, it feels like someone else's memory.

RIVERCOURT, FOUR YEARS LATER

Lucas is alone on the court looking at the names still visible on the floor.

EXTERIOR NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

Jamie is playing with a small basketball, Nathan is watching from afar. Haley arrives

NATHAN : Where did he get the hoop?

HALEY : His uncle Lucas gave it to him.

NATHAN : I don't want him playing.

HALEY : Nathan, he's 4 years old. All he wants to do is be like his dad. Why don't you go out there and show him...

NATHAN : I said I don't want him playing.

HALEY : Jamie, come on, sweetie. Mama's got to go to work.

NEW YORK, INTERIOR CLOTHE’S OVER BROS

Brooke’s walking with her assistant, Millicent

TELEPHONE OPERATOR : Good morning, Clothes Over Bro's. Please hold. Good morning, Clothes Over Bro's. Please hold.

BROOKE : Can you call Prime and make a dinner reservation, please? Make sure I get the table

in the wine room. Any night next week will do.

MILLICENT : Um, you're booked every night next week.

BROOKE : Okay, then the week after.

This looks great. Can we make this about a quarter-inch wider? Great.

And we've got to send something funny with a card to Conan O'Brien. Cheese. He likes cheese.

MILLICENT : You want me to send Conan O'Brien cheese? Manchego. No, send gouda. Gouda's a funnier cheese, and don't forget to remind me about the conference call with Macy's.

(Brooke suddenly looks at the draft of her magazine)

Guys. Absolutely not. There is no way she gets on the cover of my magazine unless she gains 10 pounds, minimum. She looks unhealthy.

EMPLOYEE : We were just brainstorming.

BROOKE : Brainstorm better. Anorexia is a disease. It is not a fashion statement.

What do I smell?

MILLICENT : Um, it's your coffee. Mocha double latte, extra foam.

BROOKE : Is there foam? Last time there was no foam. I like foam.

MILLICENT : Extra foam.

BROOKE : Okay. What time is the premiere?

MILLICENT : 8:00, red carpet at 6:00.

BROOKE : All right, I'm gonna do the red carpet and then skip the movie. Let's call one of the Nicks and find out if they'd like to go.

MILLICENT : Okay, which Knick do you prefer? There's Stephon Marbury, Jamal Crawford...

Oh, David Lee is really cute.

BROOKE : Not the New York Knicks, you goof. The Nicks... Nick Lachey, Nick Zano, Nick Reid. Whoever. And tell Victoria to wait for me in the limo.

MILLICENT : She's not gonna like that.

BROOKE : Well, she works for me.

LOS ANGELES, INTERIOR PEYTON’S OFFICE

Peyton is sitting at a desk...

JOHN : Oh, I must have the wrong office. No, that's me... John Knight, label president. Last I knew, you were Peyton Sawyer, assistant to the assistant of the label president, and your desk was... where is your desk?

PEYTON : I'm sorry, I was just arranging your trades and delivering the online download report, updating your call sheet, and admiring your view. Also, Mr. Knight, I have a couple unsigned bands that I would really love for you to hear.

JOHN : Peyton, I'm losing my hair, I'm hung over, I have two different alimony payments due and seven lines ringing.

PEYTON : Of course.

(Peyton starts leaving)

JOHN : Sawyer?

PEYTON : Yes.

JOHN : You look good. Drop a button on that top and I'll let you sit in on the morning new-music session. One button, one song. And get me some aspirin.

CLASSROOM AT TREE HILL HIGH

Jamie is drawing, Haley is at her desk, Lucas comes in.

LUCAS : Man, they do grow up fast.

JAMIE : Uncle Lucas!

LUCAS : J. Luke! Hey. You in high school already?

JAMIE : No, I'm only 4.

LUCAS : Hmm, 4 going on 40. What you drawing?

JAMIE : You can't see it. It's not done.

LUCAS : Yeah, trust me, I understand that one.

HALEY : I take it the writing's not going very well?

LUCAS : The writing... is not going at all.

How about you? How was the last day of student teaching?

HALEY : Great. Just trying not to freak out about next week when it's just me.

LUCAS : You're gonna be great, Hales.

Did you get a nanny yet?

HALEY : No, not yet.

LUCAS : Well, you know, you can't babysit him forever, Hales. And by him, I mean Nathan, not Jamie.

HALEY : Well, it's only been four months, so...

INTERIOR NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

Nathan is watching tv.

SPORTS ANNOUNCER : Seattle is on the clock right now. We'll get to the commissioner coming up in regards to their pick. They going big? They going small? It's been unpredictable so far. Here's the commissioner. With the 10th pick in the NBA Draft, the Seattle sonics select...

FLASHBACK, SAME HOUSE, FEW MONTH AGO

Haley, Jamie and Nathan, in an empty house

JAMIE : We're moving to Seattle, mama!

NATHAN : It's gonna be Seattle. My agent just called. He said we got a guarantee... I'm going 10th pick to the Sonics!

HALEY : Oh, baby, I'm so proud of you! You have worked so hard for the last four years! You believed in it, and now it's actually happening!

Why are we buying a house in Tree Hill if we're moving to Seattle? We should buy a house there.

NATHAN : Oh, we're going to. A big one.

JAMIE : With a pool?

NATHAN : More like a moat and a draw bridge.

JAMIE : And a dragon?

NATHAN : Yes, and a pet dragon for Jim-jam.

Hales, we're gonna have all kinds of houses, but Tree Hill is home. And, besides, this isn't even my salary. This is just shoe-contract money.

HALEY : It's money from the shoe, mama! Let's get it!

HALEY : Oh, baby, I don't know.

NATHAN : The little man's spoken. And he's right. We should get the house, Hales. You know why?

HALEY : Why?

NATHAN : Because we did it together. We made it happen. And we're gonna have to get used to the fact that this is what life's like when your dreams come true.

END OF THE FLASHBACK, INTERIOR NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

Nathan is still in front of his tv. We see him leaving the room in a wheelchair.

MOUTH : Can you guys keep it down? I'm working on my demo.

JUNK : For what?

MOUTH : A job. I'm gonna send audition tapes to all the local stations.

FERGIE : Sorry, Mouth. Go ahead, man, do your thing.

MOUTH : The tar heels land another blue chip prospect, and we've got the scoop. I'm Marvin McFadden...

JUNK : No, no, no, no, no, no!

FERGIE : That's how you go down the lane!

INTERIOR TREE HILL GYM

Lucas is playing when Skills walks in.

SKILLS : So, six months ago when they asked us to fix this mess, what the hell were we thinking saying yes?

LUCAS : Well, well, well, if it isn't Skills Taylor, new assistant head coach of the Tree Hill Ravens.

SKILLS : Hey, if you could afford me... So, how great is this, huh? Lucas Scott, head coach. Local boy makes good.

LUCAS : Local boys made good. You're a big part of this, Skills.

SKILLS : I hope so.

Man, we blew this place up. Hey, how many games they won since we hung that state championship banner?

LUCAS : Not many. But I do know one thing... losing's over.

SKILLS : Oh, no doubt.

LOS ANGELES, PEYTON’S OFFICE

Meeting for their morning new music session. Peyton is there.

EMPLOYEE : She's got a hit TV show. Great potential for crossover marketing and promo.

JOHN : But the songs are terrible.

EMPLOYEE : John, she's young, she's hot, and her social life's a train wreck. We could ship this thing platinum.

PEYTON : Um, I have a band.

JOHN : Well, why not? It can't get any worse.

PEYTON : Okay, well, they're called Low Versus Diamond, they've already built a strong internet

following, and the songs are great.

(all listen to the music, John stops it)

JOHN : We'll go with the actress... All right?

(John leaves the meeting)

EMPLOYEE (to Peyton) : Why don't you go get us some lunch menus?

INTERIOR NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

Nathan is looking at sport shoes in their box

FLASHBACK, IN A BAR

Lucas, Nathan and Haley are at a bar with some other guys. One of them is presenting the same shoe Nathan was looking at.

BARRY : Ladies and gentlemen, the N.S. 23.

(applause)

NATHAN : Let's see it. Barry, thank you so much.

HALEY : Baby, it's awesome. I have to go relieve the sitter. But you guys should stay and celebrate.

It's the night before the Draft.

NATHAN : You sure?

HALEY : Yeah. Thank you guys! No driving tonight, okay? Take the limo and get the car tomorrow.

NATHAN : I promise.

HALEY : Okay.

LUCAS : Hook it up.

NATHAN : Check it out.

END OF THE FLASHBACK

Nathan is still watching the shoe.

LUCAS’ BEDROOM

Lucas is working at his desk, writing.

LUCAS : “And like the River Court signatures of their younger selves, weathered now, faded. So, too, were they."

(Lucas stops and deletes everything he just wrote)

LUCAS (writing) : "I... suck."

(an instant message pop up. It’s Lindsey. They start a video chat)

LINDSEY : Tell me you are writing the best pages of your life.

LUCAS : Well, hi to you, too.

LINDSEY : If not the best pages of your life, at least a bunch of okay pages?

LUCAS : I've written a few sentences...

LINDSEY : ah...

LUCAS : And deleted them because they sucked.

LINDSEY : Luke, this is serious. I can't be your editor if I don't have anything to edit. My butt is on the line here. Tell me you have something, anything.

(Lucas starts moving his screen)

LUCAS : Lindsey?

LINDSEY : Luke?

LUCAS : I don't know. You know, I think it's an earthquake.

LINDSEY : Lucas Scott!

(Lucas closes his laptop)

NEW YORK, AT THE MOVIE’S PREMIERE

Brooke is leaving the premiere with a guy . There are paparazzi everywhere.

They jump in the limo.

BROOKE : Somebody needs to do something about the paparazzi. They're totally out of control.

VICTORIA : We pay them a lot of money to talk about the brand. I hope you were nice.

BROOKE : I was nice.

VICTORIA : Nick, did you enjoy yourself?

NICK : I did. I thought the movie was...

VICTORIA : Driver, can you pull over, please? I'm sorry, darling. You were saying?

NICK : Nothing. I liked the movie.

(the limo stops)

VICTORIA : Thank you very much, and enjoy the rest of your evening.

NICK : Right. Okay. I just thought that maybe...

(Nick leaves the limo)

VICTORIA : Yes, we know what you thought, Nick. You thought you'd have your way with my designer. A little fondling, a little tongue-kissing, something a little dirty but not too freaky.

NICK : No, I just thought that...

VICTORIA : It's Clothes Over Bro's, Nick. We want the tabloids to think that she's sleeping with you.

She's not actually sleeping with you. We're all set.

NICK : Call me!

(Victoria closes the door)

NICK : Taxi!

BROOKE : You are unbelievably rude.

VICTORIA : Well, it's been a long day. But tomorrow's even longer. You have a 9:00 a.m. interview

about taking the company public. I'll be there for the finer points. You just need to look beautiful and talk about your passion and your creativity and blah, blah, blah. And I've made a change to the model lineup due to the additional scrutiny from the press.

BROOKE : Oh, but you forgot...

VICTORIA : She's not on the list.

BROOKE : She's my friend.

VICTORIA : She's not your friend. She's an employee.

BROOKE : I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that.

VICTORIA : Brooke, Clothes Over Bro's is a multimillion dollar company. A company that you've entrusted to me to make executive decisions like these. We have to cut her loose.

BROOKE : You're gonna fire her?

VICTORIA : No, I'm not gonna fire her. You're gonna fire her. It's your company, my dear. I just work here.

NEW YORK, BROOKE’S APARTMENT

Brooke is dining alone. She call someone.

BROOKE : Hey, it's me. It's not gonna work out for the fashion show.

NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

Lucas walks in Jamie’s bedroom

LUCAS : Postcard for Jamie Scott!

JAMIE : Another one?

LUCAS : Yeah, man.

JAMIE : Where are they now?

LUCAS : Well, aunt Karen and cousin Lily are in Ireland. Now, that's right across the Irish sea from England. You remember where England is?

JAMIE : The one with the clock!

LUCAS : You are a genius. Are you sure you're not my kid? All right.

JAMIE : You think we'll ever see them again?

LUCAS : Oh, yeah, of course we will, man. So, listen. I'm gonna go talk to your dad, and then we'll go, okay?

JAMIE : Okay.

LUCAS : All right.

Downstairs, Nathan is trying to grab a bottle of alcohol with a trophy when Lucas arrives

NATHAN : Haley keeps the alcohol out of reach. At least, she tries.

LUCAS : It's a little early, don't you think? So, how's physical therapy going?

NATHAN : How's your second book coming?

LUCAS : Ouch. So, you know, Haley told me that the doctors say you'll be up on your feet any day now. Pretty lucky, Nate.

NATHAN : Oh, yeah, that's me. Mr. Lucky.

LUCAS : I'm just saying you'll be back to normal in no time.

NATHAN : Luke, I'm never gonna play basketball again. That's not exactly normal, okay?

(Lucas take the bottle from Nathan hands)

Luke! Luke, damn it! Don't be a d*ck, all right?

LUCAS : You want it? Walk over here and get it.

NATHAN : Why don't I walk over there and kick your ass, huh?

LUCAS : Kicking. Kicking's good. Let's see it.

NATHAN : Give me that bottle right now, or Dan's not gonna be the only Scott to k*ll his brother.

(Jamie walks in)

JAMIE : Ready, uncle Lucas?

LUCAS : Real nice, Nate.

NATHAN : Luke...Just...

LUCAS : Come on, Jamie. Let's go.

JAMIE : Bye, daddy.

NATHAN : Bye-bye.

RIVERCOURT

SKILLS : So, none of you guys know who ate my pizza?

JUNK : Nah, man.

SKILLS : Amazing. So, my pizza just ate itself.

MOUTH : Hey, I was working on my audition reel.

SKILLS : Hey, that's good. 'Cause you owe me for the rent. And you two knuckleheads owe me for a pizza.

(Lucas arrives with Jamie)

SKILLS : There he is! Big Game James. Hey, yo, Big Game. I got something for you.

(Skills gives Jamie a jersey)

JUNK : Dude, he's 4.

LOS ANGELES, PEYTON’S OFFICE

Peyton is at her desk, John arrives

JOHN : What do you think, Sawyer?

PEYTON : I think you were right about the act we signed today. Her songs blow. So why'd you sign her?

JOHN : How long have you been in Los Angeles, Peyton? From...

PEYTON : From Tree Hill, North Carolina... Four years.

JOHN : Four years. Why'd you come?

PEYTON : I wanted to discover and sign bands that could change someone's life, like the bands

that changed mine.

JOHN : I figured you were one of them. I used to be, too. Then I figured it out. It's called show business for a reason. We're here to make money.

PEYTON : Even if the product sucks.

JOHN : Especially if the product sucks. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but rock 'n' roll can't actually save the world.

PEYTON : See, I disagree. Walk into any club on the strip tonight and just look at the kids, look into their eyes. They're all looking for something to believe in. I think that music can be the thing that changes their world.

JOHN : That is why you are still the assistant to the assistant. They're not out there to get their world saved. They had a bad day. They went out to get drunk and get laid.

Peyton, you're as smart and as talented as anyone at the label, but you'd be so much further along if you could just accept the business side of what we do and play the game.

PEYTON : I'm just not really interested in playing the game.

JOHN : You already did. You dropped a button to get into that meeting. Drop a few more, they'll probably give you my job.

PEYTON : Well, I will have your job one day, John. Just not that way.

JOHN : Have fun in the clubs tonight, assistant to the assistant.

FERGIE : Don't do it, Jamie.

JUNK : Pass it to your pal Junkie.

TV GAME : Kid's got the ball clock running down.

LUCAS : You're ready ?

FERGIE AND JUNK : No, no, no, no!

LUCAS : Now

SKILLS : sh**t it!

HALEY : Oh, wow.

LUCAS : We were just...Here you go.

(Lucas put Jamie down)

HALEY : What are you wearing?

JAMIE : Uncle Skills gave it to me.

HALEY : Wasn't that nice of him, making you look all krunk. Did you say thank you?

Okay, go say goodbye to the guys.

LUCAS : Look, I kind of gave Nathan some grief today about not being on his feet yet.

HALEY : Oh, well, you know,

LUCAS : I know he's a little dark right now. You got to push him, Hales.

JAMIE : Okay, mom, I'm ready.

HALEY : Okay.

LUCAS : Whoa, what about me, Jamie?

JAMIE : Bye, uncle Lucas.

LUCAS : Bye, buddy. I love you.

your father.

NATHAN : My father is in prison. So am I.

HALEY : Well, you can walk out.

LOS ANGELES, PEYTON’S APARTMENT

Peyton comes home, she put on her shelf the magazine with Brooke on the cover and a specimen of Lucas’ book. She already has several. Then she put the audio version inside her hi-fi system.

PEYTON : Hi. It's Peyton. Yeah, I'm sorry. I know it's late there, I just... What happened to us, you know? I don't know who I am anymore. Or how I got here. I miss who I used to be. I want to have a home again, you know? And real friends. you know, the kind of friendships we used to believe in.

I miss that. And I miss you. I guess I just miss all of it.

(Peyton’s crying)

LYNDSEY’S OFFICE

Lucas walks in

LINDSEY : No, I have the uncorrected proofs. I need the corrected ones. Okay, I have to go. Thanks. Bye.

LUCAS : Hi.

LINDSEY : Hi.

LUCAS : Look, before you start yelling at me, I'm sorry. I know I've missed my deadline again, and I know you have a lot of people to answer to, and it's not fair to you.

LINDSEY : I remember the first time I read it. I was a junior editor, just out of college, missing my friends. I took two dozen manuscripts home for the weekend, just like I did every weekend, hoping that this time, something would speak to me. And it did. It was a great first novel, Luke. It brought you to me. But a writer's career is about a body of work. It's about the second book and the third and the fourth.

LUCAS : Lindsey...

LINDSEY : It's been two years. And that wouldn't scare me if I thought you were writing, but you're not. So what am I supposed to do, Luke?

LUCAS : You could give me a little bit more time because I'm handsome.

LINDSEY : Close the door, Luke.

(Lucas leaves)

BROOKE : A lot of things, but not everything.

VICTORIA : Are you counting the trip to Milan?

BROOKE : The trip for work.

VICTORIA : Come on. Let's see the face of a girl who gets to go to Italy tomorrow to approve the textiles for her fall line.

BROOKE : But it's not everything.

VICTORIA : No, dear. It is everything. And if you've lost sight of that, you have lost your way, Brooke Davis. Milan, tomorrow. Smile.

LOS ANGELES, PEYTON’S OFFICE

JOHN : Okay. Let's do lunch. Sawyer! What's the name of that sushi place I like?

PEYTON : You were wrong yesterday when you said the kids in the clubs were just there for decadence. I think it's more like romance and hope and inspiration and that feeling that you

get when other human beings pick up basic instruments and make sense of your world.

And the day that I think it's just about making money is gonna be the day that I've betrayed everything I believe in about music and life and myself.

JOHN : Was that a sushi place?

PEYTON : I quit, John. I'm going home.

JOHN : You're making a mistake.

PEYTON : No. I'm fixing one.

LUCAS : You got too much to lose here, okay? It's not worth it.

NATHAN : Okay

GREG : That's it. Listen to your girlfriend.

Outside of the bar, Nathan get into his car

LUCAS : Come on, Nate. Wait. Look, we shouldn't be driving, all right? I'll get the limo.

Come on, Nate. We'll just grab Barry, take the limo. You're not driving.

NATHAN : All right. You're right.

GREG : I have witnesses. You all saw it. He hit me. I'm gonna sue that punk.

FLASHBACK, LOS ANGELES, PEYTON’S APARTMENT/ NEW YORK, BROOKE’S APARTMENT

Still the same conversation

PEYTON : I guess I miss all of it. Does any of that make any sense?

(On the other side of the line)

BROOKE : That makes all the sense in the world, Peyton. Four years ago, it all seemed so clear, didn't it? Conquer the world, save the world, live happily ever after.

PEYTON : Are you happy, Brooke?

BROOKE : Sometimes. Not always. Are you?

PEYTON : No.

BROOKE : Okay. Then let me ask you something. What is gonna make you happy, Peyton? Is it how you look or the car you drive or the people you know? Is it money or celebrity or power or accomplishment? Because I have all those things, and... and I don't think it's enough.

PEYTON : Well, then, what is?

BROOKE : Love, I think. And that love can be for a boy or a girl or a place or a way of life or even for a family. But where you find it is up to you. So where are you gonna find that love, Peyton?

PEYTON : I think I need to go home.

BROOKE : Yeah, I was hoping you'd say that.

TREE HILL AIRPORT

Peyton’s there. Brooke arrives

PEYTON : I missed you, Brooke Davis.

BROOKE : I missed you, P. Sawyer. We're home now. It's gonna be okay.

PEYTON : Come on.
