Millicent : "I don't want to go back to New York. " Mouth : Straight and to the point. I like it. Come on. OUTSIDE LUCAS'S HOUSE Karen : I remember sitting on these steps, talking to you about joining the ravens. Lucas : That seems so long ago. Karen : It feels like yesterday, actually. Lily wrote you a letter. Lucas : She's writing already? What, was she born, like, four days ago? Karen : No, that was your daughter, dad. Lucas : Yeah, whatever, grandma Karen. Karen : Look, I know you can't stay, but before you go, I just really ... I really wanted to say thank you. Karen : Lucas... Lucas : No, no, no, no, no, no. You helped me through all of it. And you were selfless and strong. And ... if I'm half the parent that you were, then Sawyer is gonna be just fine. Karen : She's gonna be more than fine. Lucas : Remember how you always told me to see the magic in the world? I still do. AT THE GYMNASIUM Man : Nate? Bobby wants to see you. Nathan : What happened to all my stuff? Man : Bobby wants to see you. AT SCOTT'S HOUSE Haley : What are you doing home? Nathan : Do you remember that green dress you wore to the Maths-ketball school for Jamie? Haley : The Oppenheimer school. Yeah. Nathan : You look amazing in that dress. I was thinking we could take a trip to charlotte. You could wear that dress. We could take Jamie. Haley : Nathan, what happened? Nathan : I'm not on the Chiefs anymore. Haley : I'm sorry, baby. Nathan : It's okay. What do you say, Haley James? Want to take the boy to Charlotte? Maybe we could see a basketball game? I mean, I kind of have to be there anyway, considering ... I'm the Bobcats' new point guard. Haley : What? Nathan : I'm the point guard for the Charlotte Bobcats. I got called up. Haley : You're in the NBA? Nathan : I'm in the NBA. Thank you. Thank you for believing in me, Haley. Haley : Thank you for being worth it! AT WITHEY'S HOUSE Dan : Please. I assume that's loaded. Withey : I bought this gun hoping to see your face again. I'll just say you broke in, came at me. Dan : You'd be doing me a favor. Withey : You look like a haunted man. I heard you have a heart problem. It's not surprising. You've always had a heart problem. Dan : I wish I'd gone back in that game ... the state championship. When I look back at my life and see where it all went wrong, that's where I always end up ... fourth quarter, time running down, sitting on the bench at the state championship, and refusing to play. At night, in my dreams, I do go back in. And in my dreams, I take it back. All of it. And then I wake up. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for that day and every day since. I'm sorry for what I did to Keith ... and to the people who love him. Withey : Did you ever love him? Dan : Not enough. AT BROOKE'S HOUSE Brooke : Hi, Sam. It's me. No, everything's fine.

Jerry : Yeah. Mouth : Woooo : Sorry. Nathan : Jamie, sports is up next. Jamie : What's the big deal? I got wifi on my phone. Haley : Get over here and watch with us. Mouth : Last night in the NBA, the Charlotte Bobcats quietly made a move that most sports fans wouldn't have noticed, adding a point guard to their roster for the rest of the season. But we're leading with that story because this point guard is a local legend who overcame adversity and difficult circumstances in pursuit of a dream. Last night, the Charlotte Bobcats called up a former Tree Hill Raven, a great guy, and a good friend, Nathan Scott. Jamie Scott, hug your dad for all of us because he just made it to the NBA, and we couldn't be more proud. In other news around the league, the Los Angeles clippers are ... Haley : Jamie. Jamie : I knew you could do it! Nathan : You're gonna kill me before I even play in a game, buddy! AT WITHEY'S HOUSE Dan : I was supposed to be dead months ago. I used to wonder why I was still alive. And then I realized ... I'm not. I'm dead. And this is my hell. Lucas got married and had a baby girl. And Nathan ... he's got Jamie. And I get to see the happiest moments of their lives, but ... I don't get to feel those moments. I don't get to be a part of their lives. Withey : You created that, Danny. Dan : Pull the trigger. Take the pain away! Please. Please. Withey : Maybe you're still here for redemption. OUTSIDE WITHEY'S HOUSE Withey : There's still time, son. Nathan : I just came to tell my coach I made it to the NBA. How you doing, coach? Withey : Good to see you. It's a great surprise. I see you're keeping in shape. AT BEDROOM RECORDS Chase : This track is awesome! Mia : Thanks. Chase : And the record officially drops tomorrow? Mia : Tomorrow night. Sinning in New York City. Chase : And then ... you tour. Mia : For a couple months, yeah. Chase : Listen, I ... I know you're gonna go on tour and this record's gonna blow up, and just know that art of me wants to be really selfish with you. But I'm not gonna be that way because ... well ... because the rest of the world deserves to see your greatness, too. Mia : My heart's ... not going anywhere. Chase : Promise? Mia : Promise. AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Millicent : Mia's new record? Brooke : Yeah. It's really good. She's actually doing a signing in New York tomorrow night. Maybe you could go ... Millicent : Yeah! Brooke : About that ... if you weren't gonna be here in tree hill instead. Millicent : Wait. What? Brooke : The store's gonna be back up and running soon, and I need you here to run it. Millicent : But what about New York? Don't you need someone there? Brooke : I do, but your boy is here. OUTSIDE LUCAS'S HOUSE Dan : Hi, Peyton. Peyton : What do you want? Dan : I just wanted ... could I hold her? Peyton : No. Why? Dan : Because she's the only one in my world who doesn't know what I've done. Peyton : Just for a second. Take your last step. Dan : I'd forgotten what it was like. She's so beautiful. What's her name? Peyton : Sawyer. Dan : Sawyer Scott. And now, said max, let the wild rumpus start. Peyton : Where the wild things are. Dan : I used to read it to Nathan. It seems like another life ago. Peyton : It was. Dan : I know you're gonna have to tell her about me someday. I'm sorry for that. Hallelujah for these eyes she your painted life. Hallelujah for the touch of skin to skin with mine. Hallelujah for this mind that keeps our souls combined. Hallelujah for this life that let me be your child have your mind, have your strength to stay alive keep your eyes open with mine now oh, no. You followed the road AT MOUTH'S OFFICE Millicent : How would you like your old roommate back? A face without words can last a lifetime it's never the same so don't say goodbyes that last forever now hold on just for a while but I'll be by to see you someday soon now please hold on tonight oh, 'cause I'm old and I don't know why. Hallelujah for these eyes AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Victoria : Tell me about ... Julian. Brooke. What kind of man is he? Brooke : The kind who's gone. Hallelujah for this mind that keeps our souls combined now. Hallelujah for this life that let me be your child. AT THE CIMETERY Nathan : I finally made it, Q. Something tells me you already know that. I miss you, buddy. Oh, and, Q, you're right ... It's a comeback. Thank you. You're a traffic light of fire you're a man who I believe will never die AT LUCAS'S HOUSE Brooke : Hi. Peyton : Hi Brooke : Luke around? Peyton : No. He had to take Karen to the airport. She had to get back. Brooke : She's so beautiful. Peyton : Yeah, I kind of like her. Brooke : So how does it feel, P. Sawyer? You have a family now. You ... you have this whole other life to look after. Peyton : It feels just like I dreamed it would. Brooke : Can I hold her? Peyton : Yeah! Got her? Brooke : Oh, yeah. Hi, Sawyer. I'm your aunt Brooke, and I am gonna spoil you. Yes, I am, Sawyer Scott. Peyton : Sawyer Brooke Scott. Brooke : Really? Peyton : Yeah. Brooke : See, I always knew you were a Brooke. And it is a really good name, baby Brooke. Peyton : Just like I dreamed. And what about your dreams, Brooke Davis? AT CLOTHES OVER BROS Brooke : Are you going somewhere? Victoria : Back to New York. The designs are excellent. The new line should stabilize the company. There's nothing left for me to do here. There are a few things that I need to leave you with. We need to call our publicist and arrange a series of interviews announcing your return to the company. You need to speak with the people at red and organize some sort of charitable contribution. And you need to fly to Los Angeles and tell that boy that you love him. Brooke : What? Victoria : When I was young, there was a boy who loved me, and I loved him back. But he wasn't from my circle of friends, and he was different than what my parents expected ... so I let him go. And not a day has gone by that I don't regret it. Brooke : Why haven't you ever told me this? Victoria : Because I've been a terrible mother. I have a daughter who is ... strong and bright, kindhearted, so beautiful ... and I've nearly broken her with my inability to open my heart. But I haven't broken her. She's just as strong and beautiful and kindhearted as ever. She simply misnamed her company. Because if this boy Julian loves you ... and you love him ... That's all that matters. That is the most important thing. And the clothes can wait. Victoria : This is for you. Brooke : What is it? Victoria : It's the company. It's all yours ... 100%. Brooke : But why? Victoria : I'd rather have my daughter than a company. Brooke : But you loved this company. Victoria : Yeah. I did. And I was wrong. I should have loved you more ... and the company less. I just didn't know how. Brooke : Mom? I want you to stay on ... and run things from New York. Victoria : You're keeping me? Brooke : You're good at what you do. And besides ... you're my mother. Victoria : My daughter. My daughter. I love you so much. And I'm so proud of you. AT MOUTH'S OFFICE Jerry : 60 seconds, Mouth. Mouth : Thanks, Jerry. Thanks. I thought you took off. Millicent : I just wanted to watch my boy work. Mouth : I like that ... being your boy. Millicent : I like it, too. Skills called. They're gonna watch the game with us. Mouth : Great. Sounds perfect. Millicent : It does, doesn't it? Jerry : We're back in 10! Mouth : God, I love my life. A full slate in the NBA kicks off tonight with the Charlotte Bobcats, who recently called up Nathan Scott. The team says that Scott will take his physical ... Mouth : Take a look at yourself in a mirror. Who do you see looking back? Haley : Is it the person you want to be? AT SCOTT'S HOUSE Jamie : You made it. Nathan : We made it. Dan : Or is there someone else you were meant to be ... the person you should have been, but fell short of? Mia : Is someone telling you, you can't or you won't? Because you can. AT NEW YORK Chase : Could you write, "Thanks for the 45 seconds of heaven"? Mia : 30. Wait for me? Chase : Hell, yeah. Chase : Believe that love is out there. AT THE GYMNASIUM Man : From the university of maryland, 6'2" point guard, wearing number 12, Nathan Scott! Nathan : Believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do. Peyton : Sometimes happiness doesn't come from money or fame or power. Sometimes happiness comes from good friends and family and from the quiet nobility of leading a good life. AT LOS ANGELES Man : We're gonna try the lights now, okay, Julian? Julian : Okay. Brooke : You told me that someday I'd be ready to let someone in. I think today mean to be "someday". Julian : Believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do. Julian : If this was a movie, you'd kiss me right now. Brooke : No. I'd say, "I love you," and then I'd kiss you. I love you. Brooke : Believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do. ON THE ROAD IN THE COMET Lucas : Take a ride with me, Peyton Sawyer? Peyton : Don't you mean Peyton Scott? Peyton : So take a look in that mirror and remind yourself to be happy, because you deserve to be. Believe that. Lucas : And believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do.
