LUCAS’ BEDROOM

Jamie is in front of Lucas who’s still asleep, with a pillow over his head

JAMIE : I think you drink too much.

LUCAS : I think you're right.

NATHAN : Damn. Think somebody got thrown through a plate-Glass window. Dude, it seriously smells like ass in here.

JAMIE : And rotten cheese.

LUCAS : Go away.

JAMIE : Ew, and bad breath.

LUCAS : I said, "go away."

(Lucas throws away the pillow and we find out that he has a mohawk)

JAMIE : Ho...

NATHAN : Holy crap.

LUCAS : What?

NATHAN : Have you seen your head?

LUCAS : Not lately.

NATHAN : You have a mohawk.

LUCAS : I do?

(Jamie jumps on the bed and plays with Lucas’ mohawk)

JAMIE : Awesome. Can I get one, daddy?

NATHAN : Sure, if you want to look goofy like your uncle Lucas.

JAMIE : Kind of like he has a tail... just on his head.

NATHAN : Jamie, why don't you go get Luke a bottle of water, huh?

JAMIE : Okay.

(Jamie leaves the room)

NATHAN : I thought we were gonna see you at that school-Board hearing.

LUCAS : Yeah.

NATHAN : They suspended you, Luke. 10 games.

LUCAS : There's only 11 left.

NATHAN : Not for you.

(Jamie comes back with the bottle)

JAMIE : Here you go!

NATHAN : All right, Jamie. Let's get going.

JAMIE : Okay. Bye, uncle Lucas. Cool hair.

(Jamie goes outside)

NATHAN (to Jamie) : Wait for me right there, okay?

(Nathan closes the door)

NATHAN : Look, Luke... I know from experience whatever answers you're looking for... You're not gonna find them like this... Trust me. I know it sucks that Lindsey's dating, And it sucks that you grabbed that player, but don't make it worse. The darkness doesn't have any answers, Luke.

BROOKE AND PEYTON’S HOUSE

Brooke is in bikini, ready to go to the beach with Angie

BROOKE : Okay, you silly rabbit. We're going to the beach. Yes, we are. Just me and my funny bunny. Did you hear that? Did you hear what I called you? Did you hear what mama...

(Brooke stops, surprised by what she’s just said. Then the phone rings)

BROOKE (on the phone) : Hello? Yes, this is she. But... there must be some mistake. She has eight days left... But she's recovering from surgery, so... No, I understand... Okay. Bye-Bye.

(Brooke hangs up)

BROOKE (to Angie) : They want you to go home today. But that can't happen.

LUCAS’ BEDROOM

Lucas is looking at his mohawk in the mirror when Haley walks in

HALEY : Oh, well, well. What...what is all this

LUCAS : Not sure.

HALEY : I would laugh if this whole thing wasn't such a mess.

LUCAS : What whole mess?

HALEY : You, your head... All of it. You and I are going for a drive. But, first, we're gonna fix the ferret above your face.

LUCAS : Why?

HALEY : We're taking a drive because I'm your best friend and you need me. And we are fixing your... Very punk-Rock haircut because I have a 5-Year-Old son who unfortunately wants to look just like his uncle Lucas.

(Lucas sits on the chair and Haley starts shaving his head)

NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

Nathan and Jamie are watching a basketball game on TV. Jamie has a mohawk too

JAMIE : So, how's the comeback going?

NATHAN : It's not a comeback.

JAMIE : Quentin says it is.

NATHAN : Quentin's wrong. And, by the way, nobody's sporting the faux hawk anymore, dude.

JAMIE : I'm bringing it back.

(Jamie makes a sh**t in his small hoop with rolled-up socks)

JAMIE : So, what team do you think you're gonna play for in the NBA?

NATHAN : Jamie, come here... I know you're really excited about this, but... I'm probably never gonna play in the NBA.

JAMIE : Sure, you will.

NATHAN : Geez, kiddo. You're playing with rolled-Up socks? What happened to your ball?

JAMIE : I lost it... I got to go feed Chester

(Jamie leaves)

INSIDE LUCAS’ CAR

Haley is with Lucas, who’s driving.

HALEY : I got to ask you something. Did you tell Peyton that you hated her?

LUCAS : Maybe. I was a little wasted.

HALEY : Luke, you can be such a jackass sometimes. She is in love with you. You probably broke her heart.

LUCAS : Oh, I didn't break her heart. You're being dramatic.

HALEY : I'm being dramatic. Stop here.

LUCAS : The light's green.

HALEY : Just stop.

LUCAS : All right. We're sitting at a green light. Now what?

(People starts honking)

HALEY : Just wait for it.

LUCAS : Haley, the light's green! Wait for what?!

(At this time, a red water balloon smashed the windshield)

HALEY : Kind of like Peyton's heart, don't you think? I'll be right back. You shouldn't stay here.

(Haley leaves the car)

LUCAS : Okay.

THE ROOF OF CLOTHES OVER BROS

Peyton is looking at the street, Haley arrives.

HALEY : Hey.

PEYTON : You said it made you feel better.

HALEY : It's gonna be okay.

Haley is alone, taking their predictions from the wall. When she’s done, Lucas arrives.

HALEY : All right. All clear, you goof.

LUCAS : No Peyton?

HALEY : No. You need to apologize to her.

LUCAS : Hey, remember all the water-Balloon battles we used to have up here?

HALEY : Don't change the subject. Actually, now that you mention it, it was junior year, the boy-Toy auction. We had that water-Balloon fight up here, and you saw my tattoo of Nathan's jersey number for the first time.

LUCAS : You mean your slutty little tramp stamp.

HALEY : I am so barely your friend right now.

LUCAS : Sorry.

HALEY : The point is, I was so scared that night. I was falling in love for the first time, and I was so unsure. But I did it. And while it hasn't been easy, it has been everything.

(After a blank)

HALEY : We're not kids anymore, Luke. You know... It really hurts me to watch what you're doing.

LUCAS : Lindsey said no, Hales, I said yes.

HALEY : Don't give me that, Luke. I'm being honest with you right now, and you need to be honest with yourself. What do you want? If Lindsey's the girl that you're in love with, great. If it's Peyton, great. If it's Brooke, just please... Stop hiding your heart... I mean it.

(Haley leaves him alone)

MOUTH’S OFFICE

Millicent comes to see Mouth

MILLICENT : Hi. How's your day?

MOUTH : Well, I cleaned the bathroom, washed the news van, returned some shoes for the weather lady because apparently the straps cut into her "cankles," and they hired a new sports guy... Steve.

MILLICENT : How about I buy you some lunch? Come on.

THE HOSPITAL

Dan arrives with flowers in Reverend Carter’s room, who’s unconscious

DAN : Reverend Howard Carter. I did a little research. Man of faith, lived a good life. Tough run, though. Diabetes, stroke. You know, it's not exactly benevolent of you to lie there and take a heart that could be put to better use. In fact, it's really quite selfish. Don't you agree?

(Dan grabs his head and makes him nod)

DAN : "Yeah, I agree. Yes, I do."

(A nurse enters the room)

NURSE : Morning.

DAN : Good morning. The reverend was looking a little uncomfortable.

NURSE : Would you like to give him this pillow?

DAN : Actually... I just might.

NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

Nathan is watching by the terrace door. Deb comes home discreetly behind him

NATHAN : Hey, look. It's my mom doing the walk of shame. Maybe we should hire a nanny for you. Out with a guy you met on a p*rn site.

DEB : Not p*rn... Erotica.

(Deb goes to her room and Nathan goes outside, where he finds Jamie’s ball, inside the pool)

Nathan comes to see Jamie in his room, who’s with Chester

NATHAN : Hey, buddy. Thought you might want to go for a swim.

JAMIE : No, thanks.

NATHAN : It's been a while. I don't think I've seen you in the pool since your accident.

JAMIE : It's okay. I have to feed Chester.

NATHAN : Jamie, are you afraid?

JAMIE : No. I just don't want to.

NATHAN : Are you sure? It might be fun.

JAMIE : No, thank you.

(Nathan puts Jamie’s ball on his bed before leaving)

DR COPELAND’S OFFICE

Dr Copeland examines Angie

COPELAND : Well, I think I found the problem.

BROOKE : You did?

COPELAND : Yes. Uh, you have an incredibly cute baby here, and you don't want to send her home.

BROOKE : But are you sure she's well enough?

COPELAND : Brooke, Angie's tough days are over, okay? And she was very brave about them. It's time for you to be brave.

BROOKE : But I was supposed to have eight more days with her. We were supposed to go to the beach.

COPELAND : Well, that's how the program works. They take the first flight available. Anyway, look, um... When the silence sets in... And it will... Be proud of this. Okay? You've done a great thing here, Brooke. But it's time for Angie to go home... Today.

BROOKE : Yeah.

TREE HILL GYM

Nathan is practicing with Quentin. Jamie is watching

QUENTIN : So you got something for me, man?

NATHAN : Just shut up and check the ball, "Q."

QUENTIN : Oh... Crossover's a little rusty, son. Huh? Fake this guy. Ha ha ha. Where that a.C.C. Game at, Nate? Hmm? First-Team all-American? NBA lottery? Huh? Ugh, up out of here, man.

(Nathan tries to make a sh*t but Quentin stops it)

NATHAN : Damn it!

QUENTIN : The fadeaway, Nate? Really? Are you serious? The fadeaway is weak, man! Weak! Come on, man. Let's go again.

NATHAN : No, man. I'm not feeling today. I'm done.

QUENTIN : Hey, J. Scott... Why don't you run out in the hallway and get us some waters?

JAMIE : Okay.

(Jamie starts going)

QUENTIN : Hey. You see any hot psycho nannies out there, You run back in here, okay?

JAMIE : Not funny.

(Jamie leaves)

QUENTIN : What's going on, Nate?

NATHAN : I'm just out of shape.

QUENTIN : No, man. That ain't it. That is not it. Now, every day we do this, and every day you play soft.

NATHAN : Well, maybe that's because I can't do this anymore.

QUENTIN : Really? Maybe you just scared to, right? Huh? Easier to have your dream taken away than give it a sh*t and fail, right?

NATHAN : I'm not scared.

QUENTIN : Right? You not scared? Well, you playing scared.

NATHAN : I'm not scared.

QUENTIN : You playing scared!

NATHAN (yelling) : I am not scared, man!

(Jamie comes back and hears his father yelling. Nathan sees him)

NATHAN’S CAR

Jamie and Nathan get in the car after practice. Nathan is still angry

JAMIE : I'm... I'm afraid to go in the pool, daddy.

NATHAN : Yeah, but, uh... You went in the pool all the time before your accident, Jamie, and you loved it. You know you can still do it.

JAMIE : I know. I'm just...scared.

(After a blank)

JAMIE : It's okay if you don't play anymore.

NATHAN : Thanks, son.

PEYTON’S OFFICE

Haley enters the office.

HALEY : I'm dying here.

(Peyton doesn’t answer)

HALEY : You okay?

PEYTON : Huh? Yeah. Uh, I-I just got a weird e-Mail from Mia saying she met this guy out on tour that said he knew Ellie. So it just caught me off guard... How come you're dying?

HALEY : Oh, because I'm having trouble writing lyrics for this melody that you liked.

PEYTON : Okay, what do you got so far?

HALEY : So far I've got nothing.

PEYTON : All right. How about... "I hate you, bitch. You ruined my life"? Does that do anything for you?

HALEY : You know what? I do have some words for you, even though they're not mine. Lucas and I, we used to write our predictions every year before the school year started. Sort of what we hoped would happen.

PEYTON : Lame.

HALEY : You know you're jealous.

PEYTON : Kind of.

HALEY : Anyway, I'm gonna violate my friendship rule here because you're at, like, code red.

(Peyton starts reading)

HALEY : "Peyton sawyer will become Peyton Scott." That was, like, eighth grade. He got a little cocky sophomore year. "Make out with Peyton sawyer... or more." And, "this year, I'll talk to Peyton Sawyer." "Try again with Brooke... Brooke Davis."

(Both laugh)

HALEY : Well, that... But, you know, this is how much he doesn't hate you. It's a whole lifetime's worth.

PEYTON : I know. I know. That's... That's what he writes. But what he says is a totally different story.

HALEY : Sometimes people write the things that they can't say.

LUCAS’ BEDROOM

Lucas is putting parts of license plates on his wall. Someone knocks at the door.

LUCAS : Come on in. It's open.

(Lindsey comes in)

LINDSEY : Hi.

LUCAS : Hi.

(Lindsey is looking at what Lucas was doing)

LINDSEY : This is nice, Luke.

LUCAS : Lindsey, what are you doing here?

LINDSEY : Uh... I needed to talk to you about something, but... You wouldn't answer your phone.

LUCAS : You look good.

LINDSEY : You look hung over.

LUCAS : Yeah, well... There's a girl I almost married started dating again. And after that, well, things just kind of went dark.

(He laughs)

LINDSEY : The book's done.

LUCAS : Oh, come on. The... The ending needs work. I haven't even written a dedication yet.

LINDSEY : You can e-Mail the dedication.

(After a blank)

LINDSEY : The book's done, Luke. It's perfect. So... I think this is goodbye. And goodbye shouldn't happen over the phone.

(She kisses him on the check and starts leaving)

LUCAS : Lindsey... Do you ever miss me?

LINDSEY : I should go.

(Lindsey leaves. We see Lucas’ phone vibrating on the bureau, it’s a voice mail from Brooke)

NATHAN : What you doing, buddy?

JAMIE : Looking at your trophies.

NATHAN : You know, someday, you're gonna have your own trophies.

JAMIE : Think so?

NATHAN : Oh, yeah. I know so. Trophies, awards... Maybe even a monument. And then maybe someday you'll have a son of your own that's even greater than any award or accomplishment. Come here. Don't be afraid to be great, son. Okay? 'Cause you are. And the world isn't strong enough to b*at James Lucas Scott. I promise. We love you.

MOUTH’S OFFICE

We see Jamie in his swim suit putting on his wings

THE HOSPITAL

Dan is at Reverend Carter bedside

DAN : The truth is, I'm scared, okay? The countdown's on. And I've got to wait for this damn beeper to go off before I can get a heart... After you get one. You're the one who's lived a good life. I'm the one who needs time to make amends. So why don't you just take one for the team, huh? And if you do... I'll use my time for redemption. Okay?

(Nothing happens)

DAN : You suck, Carter.

JAMIE : Yeah!

NATHAN : One... two, three.

(Nathan throws Jamie)

THE HOSPITAL

Dan is holding a pillow in front of the Reverend, thinking of choking him. Then he changes his mind and just put the pillow under the Reverend head.

DAN : Okay, Carter... It's up to you. But sometimes a guy just needs a sign there's some hope for him, you know?

(Dan shows Carter Jamie’s note)

DAN : Hope.

THE AIRPORT

We see Lucas and Brooke leaving the airport

MOUTH’S OFFICE

Millicent and Mouth are alone in an office

MOUTH : Thanks for the lunch, and telling the new sports guy off. But I should probably get back to being shunned.

MILLICENT : I'm sorry it's so hard for you now.

MOUTH : You know something? I stand by what I did. Luke was really hurting, and it just felt insidious somehow to broadcast that pain.

(Jerry interrupts them)

JERRY : Mouth, how many men's basketball championships has UCLA...

MOUTH : Eleven

(Jerry leaves)

MOUTH : I don't know what to do now.

MILLICENT : Omaha.

MOUTH : Not without you.

MILLICENT : Then I'll go, too.

MOUTH : Really? You'd go with me?

INSIDE NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

Jamie comes from the pool, followed by Deb. Haley is writing and Nathan is ready to go practie

DEB : Jamie, you're tracking water all over the house! I can't get him out of that pool now.

NATHAN : Dude, dry off and get your jersey on. We're going back to the gym.

JAMIE : We are?!

NATHAN : Yeah. Nathan and Jamie Scott.

(Jamie leaves and Deb still follows him)

DEB : Oh, Jamie!

(Haley comes toward Nathan)

HALEY : You know what? You still make my heart race.

(Nathan laughs)

HALEY : You do. I'm serious. Feel this.

(She presses his hand against her chest)

HALEY : And my heart is so full of pride and love and joy right now because of you.

(They almost kiss but her cell phone rings)

HALEY : Wow. Very Peyton.

(Lucas nods)

LUCAS : Lindsey stopped by today.

HALEY : She's here?

LUCAS : Uh, not anymore. I had to go see Brooke.

HALEY : The trifecta. How nice. What did Lindsey want?

LUCAS : She wanted to tell me that my book's done. Well, everything except the dedication. She said I could e-Mail that to her.

(After a blank)

LUCAS : I'm thinking about... Taking off for a little while, you know?

HALEY : Lucas, please stop running. Come on... You got to let go of this dark weight you're carrying around.

LUCAS : This morning... Nathan told me the darkness doesn't have any answers.

HALEY : He's right. You saw him after his accident. And look at him now.

LUCAS : Yeah.

HALEY : You know that romantic notion that all the garbage and the pain Is actually really healing and beautiful and sort of poetic? It's not. It's just garbage, and it's pain. You know what's better? Love. The day that you start thinking that love is overrated is the day that you are wrong. The only thing wrong with love and faith and belief... Is not having it.

THE AIRPORT

Lindsey is on the phone

WOMAN : hey, they want to do a conference call about the Lucas Scott galleys.

LINDSEY : Okay, just, uh, have them call my cell. And then you should take off. Thanks.

WOMAN : Hey, Lindsey, did you tell him?

LINDSEY : No. Bye.

(She hangs up and looks at her messages. She reads the dedication Lucas sent to her:"...to all those lost souls who have forgotten to believe in the immensity of love". Then she calls Lucas, crying, but reaches his voice mail)

LINDSEY (to the voice mail) : Hi, Luke. Just got your dedication... and... I guess I'm one of those lost souls because... I lied to you. I said I was seeing someone, and I wasn't. The truth is... I was afraid of the immensity of your love, and I thought... Well, I just wanted you to know... You asked me if I miss you. Of course I miss you. That's all I do.

THE RIVERCOURT

Lucas is still there, alone, and he is on the phone. Probably with his voice mail

LUCAS : Hi.

BROOKE : Hi. They're supposed to call me as soon as Angie's home safe.

LUCAS : Where's Peyton?

BROOKE : I don't know. Probably at work. I didn't tell her Angie was leaving for sure.

LUCAS : And you told me not to come to the airport. Why?

BROOKE : I don't like you guys to see me like this... Vulnerable.

LUCAS : That's how I always see you, Brooke. And I think it's kind of beautiful. You know, um... I've been thinking about all the things you've done for... Angie and Rachel and me and... All kinds of people. You save people, Brooke Davis. It's what you do. Thanks for letting me share that.

(After a blank)

LUCAS : You call me when she's home safe, okay?

(Lucas starts leaving)

BROOKE : Hey, Luke. We've been through a lot... Me and you. I wouldn't have made it through today or a couple other days without you. So, thanks.

LUCAS : You're welcome.

BROOKE : This is for you.

(She gives him the purple monkey)

BROOKE : I love you, Lucas Scott. You know that?

LUCAS : I love you, too, Brooke Davis.

STEVE : That's right, rick, big news out of masonboro, where local phenom shane Dorset has committed to play on the west coast at UCLA.

BILL (to Mouth) : Could have been you.

STEVE : Obviously the local powerhouses were disappointed, but Dorset cited UCLA's once proud legacy...

(Steve stops as the prompter turns off)

GUY : What's that?

JERRY : The prompter's down.

GUY : Uh, go to rick.

GUY 2 : I-I don't think you want to do that.

(We see Rick trying to put his pants on)

GUT : Uh, have him fill. Steve, fill.

STEVE (uncomfortable) : Um, as many of you know, UCLA's mascot is a bruin, um, which is kind of a cute bear.

GUY : Oh, for god's sake! Where's the prompter?!

JERRY : It's not up yet.

BILL : Should we go to commercial?

(Mouth takes the earphone)

MOUTH (to Steve) : All right, say exactly what I say: "Dorset cited UCLA's legacy".

(Steve is listening to his earphone)

MOUTH : Just look at the camera and say, "Dorset cited UCLA's legacy."

STEVE : Dorset cited UCLA's legacy.

MOUTH : The bruins have 11 men's ncaa basketball championships...

STEVE : The bruins have 11 men's ncaa basketball championships...

MOUTH : ...which is more than any other school...

STEVE : ...which is more than any other school...

MOUTH : ...They won seven consecutive titles from 1966o 1974.

STEVE : ...They won seven consecutive titles from 1966 to 1974...

MOUTH : A streak that was broken by North Carolina state In one of the greatest final-Four games of all time. Of course, sports fans may remember the last big area signing was Tree Hill's Nathan Scott, who played locally at Tree Hill High, Gilmore College, and was ultimate a first-Team all-American at the university of Maryland... STEVE : ...and ultimately was a first-Team all-American...

MOUTH : We'll be back after this. I'm... Say your name.

STEVE : We'll be back after this. I'm say your name.

(She hangs up)

LUCAS : I don't hate you. I remember the first time I ever saw you... All skinny arms and... Tangle mess of hair. It was hard letting you go, Peyton. You know, it... It was hard losing you, Peyton and it was hard seeing you again. And it's...still... Really hard.

PEYTON : I know. While I'm asleep, I have this dream where... We're back in that hotel room in LA, and you proposed to me. And every single time, I say yes.

OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL

Dan is leaving the hospital, smiling, when an old man drops his cane.

DAN : Oh, got it.

(Dan gives it to him)

DAN : Here you go. Let me give you a hand here. There you go. You folks be careful. You could get yourself k*lled out here.

(Dan starts stepping back when he is hit by a car. Lying on the floor, his pager goes off)

Lucas is on the phone
