Previously on one tree hill

BROOKE : Rachel.

OWEN : Rachel? Rachel, can you hear me?

RACHEL : I can't be alone again.

BROOKE : you're not gonna be. You're coming home with me. Come here.

LUCAS : Lindsey Evelyn Strauss... will you marry me?

NATHAN : go! Carrie, get out of this bedroom right now.

HALEY : I have been through a lot with you, Nathan. I have been through better and worse, in sickness and health, but I will not do infidelity.

NATHAN : It wasn't like that, okay? I wasn't into her.

HALEY : You call kissing Carrie and watching her swim naked not being into her?

NATHAN : I didn't kiss her how many times do I have to tell you that? I can't take it anymore.

HALEY : Don't you dare turn this around on me.

HALEY : Jamie!

NATHAN : Jamie

HALEY : Jamie. Oh, god, please!

HALEY : no, you stay away from us! This marriage is over

NATHAN : Haley.

HALEY : Please, god. I want... I want a divorce.

ONE TREE HILL

LUCAS’ HOUSE

Nathan’s sleeping on the couch. Lindsey put a blanket on him and walk to Lucas’ room, who’s a his desk.

LUCAS (voiceover) : Albert Camus once wrote, "blessed are the hearts that can bend, they shall never be broken."

LUCAS : Good morning.

LINDSEY : Poor Nathan

LUCAS : Yeah, I know. If I'd have known he'd been here a week, then I'd clear out my mom's room.

LINDSEY : Have they even seen each other this week?

LUCAS : Oh, no, i don't even think they've spoken.

LINDSEY : Right. The last thing I want Haley worrying about is throwing a bachelorette party when her marriage is struggling.

LUCAS : you know, Skills could do it. I mean, he was so excited about my bachelor party, he took the week off.

LINDSEY : that worries me.

LUCAS : oh, yeah. Me too. You know, if a guy like me just happened to have his party in the same place a girl like you happened to have her party...

LINDSEY : Nathan and Haley would have to talk. Nice. But they'll never go for it.

LUCAS : Well, they will, if, um, they...

LINDSEY : ...don’t know about it! oh, you're bad.

LUCAS : you want to be bad with me?

LINDSEY : oh, you know I do.

NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

Haley is making breakfast for Jamie

HALEY : hey, sleepy, what's up?

JAMIE : I saw grandpa.

HALEY : when?

JAMIE : last night...in my dream.

HALEY : I'm sorry, baby. We will do a double check before you go to bed tonight, okay? Look, I made it with a smiley face. That's how you like it, right?

JAMIE : When's daddy coming home?

HALEY : I'm sorry, sweetie. We talked about this. Probably not for a while.

Later, Haley is with Lindsey preparing some stuff for the weeding

HALEY : And so what were you thinking about doing for your party? 'cause I was thinking it would be really fun to go old school, like jello sh*ts and '80s music.

LINDSEY : Uh, actually, if it's okay with you, I was thinking we'd do something low-key.

HALEY : All right.

LINDSEY : Just the girls.

RIVERCOURT

Lucas and Nathan are playing

LUCAS : Come on, man, just the guys.And Lindsey talked to Haley and said she's gonna clear out of the house.

NATHAN : Really?

LUCAS : Yeah.

NATHAN : All right. I'll be there.

LUCAS : Thanks, man. I... I know you got a lot going on.

NATHAN : I got a lot going on? Lucas, I'm living on your couch.

LUCAS : I meant on your mind.

NATHAN : Just the guys, right?

LUCAS : And Jamie.

BOYS APARTMENT

Skills is planning the party, with Jamie

SKILLS : Joint party? Man, your parents are messing up everything. Well, I guess I got to say goodbye to the champagne hot tub. Now what am I gonna do?

JAMIE : I went to a great party last weekend.

SKILLS : yeah? What'd they have?

JAMIE : Cotton candy, moon bounce, wacky string... ooh, and donkey rides.

SKILLS : yeah? I had a donkey on my list, too.

RIVERCOURT

Lucas is still there, playing alone. Peyton arrives

PEYTON : All right, Luke. Let me have it. I deserve it.

LUCAS : Why?

PEYTON : Lindsey didn't tell you about the library?

LUCAS : Yeah, she told me Tim rescued you, but you got to admit that story seems a little farfetched. If you girls didn't want to come watch my team play, you just say so.

PEYTON : okay, come on. She didn't say anything about how mean I was to her?

LUCAS : No. were you mean to her again?

PEYTON : She's really great, Luke.

LUCAS : Thank you. But it means a lot to hear you say that.

CLOTHES OVER BROS

MILLICENT : You and Owen didn't hook up in New York?

BROOKE : Let's just say things are really good. What about you and mouth? How's that going?

MILLICENT : Let's just say things are really good. He's been so sweet, every day he delivers a treat and just before he leaves, a kiss. It's the best part of my day.

BROOKE : Oh, a treat every day.

MILLICENT : Two treats, if you count the kiss.

BROOKE : Oh.

(Mouth walks in)

MOUTH : Hi.

MILLICENT : hey.

MOUTH : I got you a pumpernickel bagel, and a surprise for you... mocha double latte, extra foam.

BROOKE : I love you... And I have a bit of a surprise for you... Rachel's back.

MOUTH : Rachel, Rachel?

BROOKE : Owen and I found her in New York. She overdosed in my apartment. She's been laying load at the house for about a week.

MOUTH : Is she okay?

BROOKE : She seems okay today, but I... I don't know. A visit from you would probably really do her good.

MOUTH : Yeah, okay, bye, Milly.

(Mouth leaves)

MILLICENT : I didn't get my kiss.

Later, Peyton walks in the store to see Brooke and give her an envelope.

PEYTON : Hey.

BROOKE : If that's letter number 86 from the sad box of "Lucas summer," you can keep it.

PEYTON : Just open it.

BROOKE : Does my store look like a drug front to you?

PEYTON : It's the start-up money you lent me for my label. I just got paid for Mia's deal.

BROOKE : By who... a bunch of Colombians?

PEYTON : No, but cash is just more fun. It's more dramatic.

BROOKE : Peyton, it is way more money than I lent you.

PEYTON : it's twice as much, actually. It looks like you're a very smart investor.

BROOKE : Well...

PEYTON : So, what's going on?

BROOKE : Um...

(Lindsey arrives from the fitting room, wearing her wedding gown)

LINDSEY : Brooke? It's amazing.

PEYTON : Hey, Lindsey. Hi.

LINDSEY : Hi.

PEYTON : You make a very beautiful bride.

LINDSEY : Thank you, Peyton, and thank you, Brooke. It's perfect!

BROOKE : it is perfect.

LINDSEY : Oh, uh, hey, so, Lucas and I decided to combine our bachelor/bachelorette parties tonight at Haley's.

BROOKE : Wow. Have Nathan and Haley even talked since Nate went all Jude law with the hot nanny?

PEYTON : Didn't we warn her?

BROOKE : Yeah.

LINDSEY : uh, no, they're not speaking.

BROOKE : Okay, so, how...

LINDSEY : um, we lied.

BROOKE : oh, that's good.

PEYTON : Got to start somewhere, right?

A STORE

Skills is buying some funny stuff for the party, with Jamie

SKILLS : Okay, wacky string... 10 cans, jam master j.

JAMIE : Is daddy going to be at the party?

SKILLS : mm-hmm.

JAMIE : And mommy, too?

SKILLS : Yep. But, look, you can't tell mommy or daddy, okay?

JAMIE : Can we play "rock band" at the party?

SKILLS : hmm. Good idea, kid. Man, you got this party thing down, hugh hefner. Come on.

MACY’S STORE

Lucas and Lindsey are creating their wedding registry

LUCAS : Man, who knew that old boxers would take over the mini-grill industry, huh? So, anything else on the wish list?

LINDSEY : Uh, you see the bar code for your next book? I got to give them something, Luke.

LUCAS : I know. I know, I know, I know. Let me give it one more pass, and then you got it, okay?

LINDSEY : Thank you.

(Lindsey kiss Lucas when Brooke and Owen walk by)

BROOKE : Oh, pda in the mall is so 7th grade. Owen, kiss me. They're doing it.

OWEN : So is peer pressure.

(Owen take her in his arms but don’t kiss her)

LUCAS : What's going on?

BROOKE : Oh, nothing. Just k*lling some time before my big meeting.

(Bevin arrives)

BEVIN : o...m...g! Brooke? Lucas? (cheering )r-a-v-e-n-s! go, ravens!

BROOKE : Hi...Bevin.

BEVIN : What's up?!

BROOKE : Nothing. We're just...

BEVIN : Oh, I'm great, thanks. So, after I graduated four years ago, I got a job, and I got married, and I had a little boy. Oh. Isn't he cute? His name is Nathan

(She shows Brooke a picture of him. Same picture Tim showed her at the library)

BEVIN : Wow, Lucas. You're marrying Brooke? Huh. I always thought you'd marry Peyton.

BROOKE : No, uh...

BEVIN : So, have you heard from Rachel?

BROOKE AND PEYTON’S HOUSE

Rachel is on the terrace, Peyton arrives

PEYTON : That's a nice spot, huh?

RACHEL : Yeah.

PEYTON : How you feeling today?

RACHEL : Honestly, I'm a little bit ashamed. You and Brooke don't have to babysit me.

PEYTON : Don't be too hard on yourself, okay?

RACHEL : I know I can b*at this. I just got so deep in it, I forgot which way was up.

PEYTON : The light is always up. When I first came back home, I really didn't know What I wanted, and Brooke believed in me, and today it felt really, really good to prove her right. She believes in you, too, you know.

RACHEL : I know. and I'm gonna make it up to her.

MACY’S STORE

Owen and Brooke are still there, walking

OWEN : how's Rachel doing?

BROOKE : Really well, actually. It's been hard on her, you know, and so gross. But i think she's strong enough to stay sober. I really do.

OWEN : I hope so, Brooke. You know, I know I was a little opinionated about how you fired Rachel, but... I think I was just projecting, you know? It's really great you're trying to help her now.

BROOKE : Well, I'm not helping her ‘cause I fired her. I'm helping her 'cause she needs it.

(Victoria arrives from the escalators)

VICTORIA : Oh. Hello, darllng.

BROOKE : Hi. I'm confused.

VICTORIA : Of course you are. The meeting was moved forward. Not to worry... your input wasn't needed.

BROOKE : But this was my meeting.

VICTORIA : It was just business talk... way over your head. You wouldn't have understood. So, where have you been hiding yourself all week, anyway?

BROOKE : I've been finishing a wedding dress and handling some personal things.

VICTORIA : Well, good. you can get back to it. You're dismissed. Go play. It's what you do best.

(Victoria leaves)

OWEN : Babe, you shouldn't put up with that. I know she's your mom, but you can't be partners with somebody that treats you like that.

BROOKE : Okay, I thought you were working on the whole "opinionated" thing.

NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

Lucas arrives with Jamie

JAMIE : Bye uncle Lucas

(Jamie runs immediately to the stairs, Haley arrives)

HALEY : Hey, hey, hey. Where's my kiss?

(Jamie makes a kiss to his mom)

HALEY : Okay. Careful what you ask for, I guess.

LUCAS : How's he doing?

HALEY : He's okay. You know. I think he's over hating me, but I'm still the bad guy.

LUCAS : Well, when he files for emancipation, then you can worry.

HALEY : How are you and Lindsey doing? You guys ready for the big day?

LUCAS : Well, not a lot of time. She wants my new pages first. I'm just not sure they're quite there.

(Lucas is hanging a draft of his new novel)

HALEY : Well, if you need an extra set of eyes, I will be happy to help.

LUCAS : You would?

HALEY : Yes, of course. I was your first editor. If I don't like it, Don't hate me.

BROOKE AND PEYTON’S HOUSE

Peyton is there, Brooke walks in

BROOKE : okay, don't hate me, but you have a date to the party tonight. One of Owen's friends is in town. Supposedly he's supercute. He's coming out with us tonight. I told him you were gonna be there.

PEYTON : Blind double date?

BROOKE : Only half blind. Say yes because It's the Peyton i know and love and because, if you show up with a date, You are gonna look classy and over it.

PEYTON : Okay. I will go get ready. But he better be cute.

(Peyton goes get ready, Rachel walks in)

BROOKE : I'd invite you...

RACHEL : Yeah, but detox and parties don't mix.

BROOKE : Yeah. but we're gonna come back early. I promise.

RACHEL : Look, uh, i was talking to Peyton today about how you helped her out with her business. And, I don't know, I'm feeling really good now and supermotivated to get back to work, and yesterday, you know, you said that maybe I could start modeling for clothes over bro's again. So, I was just wondering...

BROOKE : Right... Rachel, I love you, but I meant maybe a job at the store, you know, like, you could learn the retail side and work your way back up.

RACHEL : Oh. I see. yeah.

BROOKE : Hey. I didn't mean to get your hopes up. You're one of my best friends, and you're an incredible model. But it's that lifestyle, you know? You can't be around that. Not yet.

RACHEL : Yeah, I know.

BROOKE : Look, I feel like I let you down once before, and I can't do that again.

RACHEL : Brooke, that was not your fault, all right? That was me. I am not gonna make those same mistakes again. I'm strong. you said so.

BROOKE : Yeah. So, let's just give it time, okay? Baby steps.

RACHEL : Sure. Okay.

A STORE

Dan is buying a basketball

CLERK : New basketball for your son?

DAN : Actually, it's for my grandson.

CLERK : Wow. I never would have guessed. You keep yourself in great shape

DAN : So, patty... what time do you get off?

PATTY : Well, that depends... What time are you gonna pick me up

Millicent comes to visit Mouth

MOUTH : hey.

MILLICENT : hey. You look nice.

MOUTH : Thanks. I'm just, uh, getting ready for Lucas and Lindsey's party.

MILLICENT : After you go see Rachel?

MOUTH : I was thinking about it. Why?

MILLICENT : Mouth, Rachel once had me guard the women's bathroom at bungalow 8 while she did things... with a guy or two. I know what she's about. I also know that you and Rachel have history.

MOUTH : Listen, Rachel's friend who's going through a hard time, I just want to support her. I mean, I'd bring you along if I didn't think it was insensitive to her condition.

MILLICENT : Rachel's never been sensitive to anyone's condition but her own.

MOUTH : Well, you don't know her like I do.

MILLICENT : I know. That's what I'm afraid of.

MOUTH : Look, Millicent...

MILLICENT : It's okay, mouth. Just go. I'll see you at the party.

EXTERIOR NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

Lucas and Nathan arrive for the party

LUCAS : So, look, Nate, um, about this party... I gotta tell you, I feel bad... Haley's inside.

NATHAN : I figured.

LUCAS : You did?

NATHAN : Yeah. You always meddle, Luke. It's what you do. You're just lucky I miss my wife.

NATHAN : hi.

BROOKE AND PEYTON’S HOUSE

Brooke walks in her room, where Rachel and Peyton are.

BROOKE : it's chase.

PEYTON : Like, "clean teen" chase?

BROOKE : uh-huh.

PEYTON : oh, my god. This is getting so good. Are you sure you don't want in?

RACHEL : Uh, I'm barely clean and hardly a teen.

BROOKE : Team, help me. Owen never told me his friend's name. What am I supposed to do?

PEYTON : So what? I mean, do you want to bail?

BROOKE : No. I mean... No. It's fine. I'm with Owen. I haven't talked to chase in years, but...

(Peyton and Rachel open partway the door to look at him)

PEYTON : Chase really is so cute.

BROOKE : Are you two enjoying this?

PEYTON : Uh, well, yeah, a little.

BROOKE : Okay. If you hook up with chase, for the record, you're taking a cab home.

PEYTON : Okay. Well, you're paying.

(Peyton take some cash from the envelope she gave Brooke earlier)

BROOKE : Fine.

PEYTON : Seriously, if it gets awkward, just say the word, okay?

BROOKE : Okay.

OWEN’S CAR

Brooke, Owen, Peyton and Chase are in the car, driving to the party

BROOKE : Awkward.

OWEN : What?

BROOKE : Nothing.

OWEN : Okay, does somebody want to tell me what's going on?

CHASE : Hey, bud... You remember that girl I used to tell you about back when we first moved in together?

OWEN : Yeah, the one you constantly talked about?

CHASE : Not constantly, but yeah.

OWEN : What, the fake virgin chick you lost your virginity to?

BROOKE : Chick?

CHASE : Yeah.

OWEN : What about her?

CHASE : Do you remember her name?

(Owen starts thinking, then looks at Brooke)

OWEN : Come on!

NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

NATHAN : Haley... I'm sorry, all right? This was not my idea. Um, I can go if you want me to.

HALEY : No. you should stay. We need to talk anyway.

(Skills and the boys walk in with Jamie, who runs to his father)

JAMIE : daddy!

NATHAN : There he is!

JAMIE : Can we play "rock band"... me, you, and mommy?

NATHAN : Yeah, sure, we can.

HALEY : I... I'm a little busy right now, sweetie. Sorry. We'll talk later. You should play with him. He misses you.

(Haley leaves)

NATHAN : Was that cotton candy? Nice.

Brooke, Peyton, Chase and Owen arrive at the party

OWEN : Man, I don't know how I never put it together. Sobriety must be going to my head.

CHASE : I never put it together either. You said, "Brooke." I said, "Brooke."

OWEN : Yeah, but you said, "Brooke that started a fashion line."

CHASE : Yeah, yeah, you probably should have figured that one out.

OWEN : Yeah... Dude, stop smiling.

Haley and Nathan are in the kitchen

NATHAN : You, uh, got a little something.

(Nathan tries to wipe the chocolate she’s got on her lips)

HALEY : Oh. oh, I got it.

NATHAN : Sorry... Just, uh, thought you were actually happy to see me.

HALEY : I am happy to see you.

JAMIE : mommy! daddy! Let's play "rock band."

HALEY : Not right now, sweetie. I am happy to see you. It's just tonight's about Lucas and Lindsey and not us and...

(Jamie is pulling Haley’s dress)

HALEY : Yes, Jamie. what?

JAMIE : I want to play "rock band."

HALEY : Well, go play, then, sweetie. Go on.

(Haley leaves)

JAMIE : I meant all of us.

NATHAN : I know. Maybe later, okay?

(Nathan leaves and Skills sees Jamie sad)

SKILLS : Come on, jimmy jam. I'll rock with you.

JAMIE : It's okay. Maybe later.

(Jamie leaves and walks by Brooke who sees him really sad)

BROOKE AND PEYTON’S HOUSE

Mouth came to visit Rachel

MOUTH : my, uh... my college roommate actually spent $6 on "vogue” for your clothes over bro's layout.

RACHEL : Your roommate, huh? Well, it's all been downhill from there.

MOUTH : Hey, coming out of high school, we all want to rule the world, but it's tough. I basically had to sleep with my boss to keep my job.

RACHEL : Well, you've come a long way, mouth. I'd probably still have my job if Brooke had that rule. I got to say, man, I'm a little jealous of everyone's success.

MOUTH : Why didn't you ever call me? I would have helped you.

RACHEL : I know. That's why I didn't.

MOUTH : Well, is there anything I can do for you now, Rachel?

RACHEL : Anything?

MOUTH : Sure.

RACHEL : Well, you remember that motel room at Honey Grove? I could really use the release, Mouth. A little natural high.

(Rachel is seducing him)

MOUTH : Rachel, I...

RACHEL : Come on. You slept with your boss. How about a module?

MOUTH : I can't.

RACHEL : I'm sorry. I... I must look terrible.

MOUTH : Don't. You're beautiful, and you could have whoever you want and whatever you want.

RACHEL : But?

MOUTH : But you don't believe that. You need to learn to let go of whatever it is that makes you think you're not good enough. 'cause that's when you're gonna b*at this... when you learn that you matter... I should go.

(Mouth leaves. Rachel takes her cell phone. She’s got a message from Karl:”we are parting in south beach. get your hot ass down here. Bring party favors”)

NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

Jamie is alone in his room, looking at a picture, Brooke and Owen come in

BROOKE : Can we come in? What you got there, little man?

JAMIE : Nothing.

BROOKE : That's more than nothing. Those are the two people who love you the most in the world. Almost as much as i do.

JAMIE : Is he your boyfriend?

BROOKE : You're the only boyfriend in my life.

OWEN : Hey. I heard I owe you one. You got me another chance with Brooke."what's under all the clothes, Brooke Davis?"

JAMIE : So, you find out?

BROOKE : On that note, boy time is over. Let's go.

OWEN : Give me knuckles.

Lucas comes to talk to Haley

LUCAS : Hey. Look, I hope you don't feel too slighted by the setup.

HALEY : To be honest, I kind of expected it from you guys... "you" being, uh... you and Lindsey. Your hearts were in the right place, though. You picked the right person to spend the rest of your life with, Luke.

LUCAS : So did you.

(Lucas leaves)

Outside, Peyton is watching from afar Lucas walking out of the house, Chase joins her

CHASE : so, this is kind of weird, huh? Then again, I did find you pretty cute back in high school.

PEYTON : Oh, god, come on.

CHASE : I did. But I was with Brooke. And you were with Lucas... You still love him?

PEYTON : He's with Lindsey now.

(Chase kiss Peyton)

PEYTON : Chase, I...

CHASE : 3:00. Lucas was looking. Just trying to help you out.

Mouth arrives at the party, he find Millicent

MOUTH : Hey. Did I miss all the fun?

(Millicent spays Mouth with wacky string)

MOUTH : I guess not.

MILLICENT : When I was a little girl, I sprayed the boys I liked most with wacky string. But then Todd Pinkerton got some in his mouth, and he started to cry. Needless to say, I abandoned that tactic. I really like you, Marvin. So the next time you go to visit some really hot former model who you have some sort of sexual history with and who's in a vulnerable state... just consider me.

MOUTH : You're right. I can do that.

Owen is sitting on an armchair with Brooke on his lap, eating some cake

OWEN : So, I built it up so much. I told all these kids that my mom was gonna get me this cake with rambo on it... like, chest scars, flames, you know? My mom brings the cake out, and instead of a picture of rambo, it's like this dinky homemade cake. No Rambo... just the words "rambo says 'happy birthday'" scribbled across the top. So embarrassing. I thought it was funny, but if you have a better story...

BROOKE : No, your mom sounds sweet. On the rare occasion that my mother ever actually remembered my birthday, she'd just toss her gold card at me and tell me to go buy something. She never really cared to get involved. She's not exactly the nurturing type.

BROOKE AND PEYTON’S HOUSE

Rachel is sleeping on the couch, Victoria comes in

VICTORIA : Hey, junkie. Get up. You and Peyton are like bloodsucking vermin that just won't go away. Where's my daughter?

RACHEL : She's at a party.

VICTORIA : Of course she is. And when she's not partying with the bartender, she's running a halfway house, apparently.

RACHEL : I'm not a... I'm better now.

VICTORIA : Yeah. Whatever. Today you're fine. Tomorrow you'll have pawned my Pradas.

RACHEL : It's different this time. Brooke believes in me.

VICTORIA : Oh, well, look out, Tony Robbins, here comes my daughter. You know, I convinced her to cut you loose once. I can do it again.

RACHEL : Brooke wouldn't do that to me.

VICTORIA : No? Look at you. You're pathetic. And the sad thing is, you're gonna lie to yourself long enough to hurt the people who still give a damn. Why don't you think of them before you relapse and waste all their time and their money? I mean, let's be honest. You can't b*at this thing. And deep down inside... you know it, too. Don't you?

NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

Outside, Skills, Junk and Fergie are playing with Jamie, and put him inside the moon bounce

JAMIE : No! no! no! no! no!

SKILLS : get him! get him! get him! get him! get hi

FERGIE : one, two, three...

SKILLS : boom..

(Haley arrives)

HALEY : Guys, can you take it easy, please? Be careful. Come on, sweetie. It's time to go.

JAMIE : But, mom...

HALEY : It's getting late. You got to go to bed soon, all right?

HALEY (to Skills) : You got to remember his size. You treat him like one of the guys, but he's just a little boy.

SKILLS : Look, Haley, I don't wanna disrespect you, 'cause I know you and Nathan going through some things right now. But I never lost sight on how little that boy is. Actually, I'm amazed how little he is because his heart is so big. You know today all he wanted to do was make sure y'all was a whole family again. That's what today meant to him. And if you hadn't noticed, I just think y'all are the ones that done lost sight of things.

Lindsey is sitting outside, Lucas joins her

LINDSEY : I can't believe we're getting married.

LUCAS : Yep. And after the wedding, you'll be another Scott in tree hill. You think you can handle that?

LINDSEY : Uh, who said I was taking your last name? So, how's our little plan working out?

(They look behind them and see Nathan and Haley talking)

LUCAS : Uh, they're talking. That's a start, right?

Nathan and Haley, alone

NATHAN : Look, I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

HALEY : Aren't you tired of that? You shouldn't have to apologize for who you are, not anymore. I've been thinking a lot this week. And I knew who you were when I married you, and what I've realized is that it's really not fair.

NATHAN : What are you saying?

HALEY : I'm saying that it was wrong of me... to try and change you. I'm the one who's sorry. I shouldn't have tried to change you or us. And now... now... I'm done trying.

(Haley leaves)

Jamie is alone in his room, holding a rabbit. Skills comes in

SKILLS : Hey. Thanks for all your help with the party, man.

JAMIE : Sure.

SKILLS : The moon bounce was the b*mb, and the cotton candy was off the chain, and them was all your ideas.

JAMIE : Yep.

SKILLS : Word. You know I'm gonna always be there for you, right?

JAMIE : Word. Want to hold Chester?

SKILLS : You know you my dog, right? But that's where I draw the line. I ain't never have a pet.

JAMIE : This pet don't scare you. He doesn't bite.

(Skills starts to fondle Chester and Jamie makes it move)

SKILLS : That ain't funny.

Brooke is in one of the bedroom, looking for her coat. Chase walks in

CHASE : Find your coat? Or were you just stealing wallets?

BROOKE : Well, they call it Winona syndrome when you have everything and you resort to petty theft for the cheap thrill.

CHASE : Come on. Your career sounds pretty thrilling.

BROOKE : It is. What about you? You a thrill-seeking pilot boy yet?

CHASE : I'm a thrill-seeking carpet salesman paying for flying lessons.

BROOKE : How's the big date going?

CHASE : Good... You and Owen, huh? He's a good guy.

BROOKE : He is.

CHASE : Let me get that.

(Chase helps Brooke to put on her coat)

Outside, Junk and Fergie walk by the moon bounce

FERGIE : So, what's the deal? You seen Luke?

JUNK : Yeah, the moon bounce is rockin'.

FERGIE : All'right.

(we see Lucas and Lindsey lying down, inside the moon bounce

LINDSEY : Suppose Keith and my dad were sitting next to each other at a bar in heaven. What do you think they'd talk about?

LUCAS : Well, after they had a beer... I think Keith would take a long, hard look at your dad and he'd say... "where's the bathroom?”... No, seriously, I think your dad and Keith would have been best friends. And Keith would tell him what a great job he did raising his daughter. Because he did.

LINDSEY : My father loved you. So do I.

(They kiss)

Inside the house, Millicent is still playing with the wacky string on Mouth

MOUTH : I thought you abandoned that tactic.

MILLICENT : I figured I'd take the risk. Good night, Mouth.

(She starts leaving)

MOUTH : Millicent, aren't you forgetting something?

(Mouth kiss her)

MOUTH : That's the best part of my day, and I missed it.

MILLICENT : Mine too.

MOUTH : Come on.

Skills is with Jamie in his room, Haley walks in

JAMIE : "colors are"...

(Skills see Haley)

SKILLS : Okay, buddy.

HALEY : Thank you.

(Skills hug Haley and leaves)

OUTSIDE BROOKE AND PEYTON’S HOUSE

Peyton and Chase come back from the party. Owen and Brooke are also there a little bit afar off them.

PEYTON : I had a good time tonight. Thanks for having fun with me.

(She kiss him)

CHASE : Um, what was that for?

PEYTON : Brooke was looking... You're welcome. Good luck.

CHASE : Thanks.

NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

In Jamie’s bedroom, Nathan is with Jamie

JAMIE : Are you gonna be here in the morning, daddy?

NATHAN : I'm afraid not.

JAMIE : Why? Mommy won't let you stay?

NATHAN : No, it's not mommy. Your mom is the best mom in the world, okay? Don't ever forget that. it's just... daddy's on a time-out right now.

JAMIE : Are you ever coming home, daddy?

NATHAN : I hope so.

JAMIE : I hope so, too.

(we see Haley, in the doorway, listening)

BROOKE AND PEYTON’S HOUSE

Peyton and Brooke come home

BROOKE : Rachel, we're home!

(Peyton finds the envelope where was the cash empty)

PEYTON : She's gone. You tried, Brooke. I guess she just wasn't ready.

HOTEL ROOM

Dan is with Patty, in bed

PATTY : So, we didn't get to talk much tonight. What's your story?

DAN : I just got out of jail for k*lling my brother.

PATTY : Right. So, did you do it?

DAN : Yeah.

CLOTHES OVER BROS

Brooke is working on Lindsey’s dress when Victoria walks in

VICTORIA : I saw the light on. I wanted to make sure that Rachel wasn't cleaning us out.

BROOKE : What is that supposed to mean? Have you been to my house? Did you say something to her?

VICTORIA : Nothing the mirror couldn't have told her.

BROOKE : Leave my friends alone, okay?

VICTORIA : I was trying to protect you from making another mistake.

BROOKE : f*ring Rachel was a mistake.

VICTORIA : That was business.

BROOKE : That is not the way I want my business to be. People deserve better. She...

VICTORIA : You see? This is exactly why you weren't included in the meeting today. You're too emotional. You need to remove emotion from business. That's why I'm here.

BROOKE : Now. You're here now. What about all of those years I was growing up? You never wanted to be a part of my life until I started this company.

VICTORIA : What? Cheerleading, School president... Stop being childish. You're the face of a company, and you took your company as far as you could on your own. Then you came to me when you needed help.

BROOKE : Well, Rachel needed my help, and you made me fire her.

VICTORIA : You earned my help, Brooke. Rachel didn't earn yours.

BROOKE : I earned it? A daughter is not supposed to have to earn her mother's help... or her love. It is supposed to be unconditional.

VICTORIA : Whatever.

(Victoria stars to leave)

BROOKE : You're fired.

VICTORIA : What did you just say?

BROOKE : I said... you...are fired.

VICTORIA : You're going to fire me and risk our entire company?

BROOKE : But it's not our company. It's my company. Remember?

VICTORIA : I am not an employee. I am your mother.

BROOKE : I know. You're fired. You can go now.

LUCAS (voiceover) : Albert Camus once wrote, "blessed are the hearts that can bend. They shall never be broken." But I wonder... if there's no breaking, then there's no healing. And if there's no healing, then there's no learning. And if there's no learning... then there's no struggle. But the struggle is a part of life...

HALEY’S BEDROOM / LUCAS’ BEDROOM

Haley’s in bed, with Lucas’ novel. She has just finished it.

Lucas and Lindsey are in bed, Lindsey is sleeping and Lucas is reading when his cell phone rings.

LUCAS : Hey.

HALEY : Hi. I need to talk to you.

LUCAS : Sure. Is everything okay?

LUCAS (voiceover) : ... so must all hearts be broken?

HALEY : No. You can't marry Lindsey.
