One Tree Hill (2003–2012): Season 6, Episode 6 - Choosing My Own Way of Life - full transcript

Previously on "one tree hill"... we could
really use a good young coach like you.

I thought you wanted me
to play.

Well, nathan,
your playing days are over.

Come on.
You must know that.

The magazine, the line -
You can have everything.

Do you know they didn't even
want to do a book tour?

What could possibly be more
important than chicago?

My wedding.

It's peyton.

It's mick.
He's my father.

He's coming over for dinner.



Shut up and pour, okay?

I'm not dead.

Sure, you are.

Why do guys insist
on packing their bags

At the last
possible minute?

We do it to torture you.
????

Big day, huh?

Yeah.

Anyhow, the first signing's
always the most stressful.

Yeah.

But i get to see
mouth today.

That'll be fun.

I still don't understand why
they're sending you to omaha



To launch the book tour.

Well, they like to generate
a little buzz

Before the bigger markets,
you know?

Worked for the last book.

I wish i could go
with you.

It's not too late.

Oh, yeah. 'Cause that wouldn't
be awkward -

You, your fianc?E,
your ex-Fianc?E.

Peyton.
I'm sorry.

I know lindsey is your editor.
I just -

I'm jealous that she gets you
for the next week,

And i get mick.

Great.

Why do you think
he's avoiding

Admitting that
he's your father?

I don't know.

Maybe i'm wrong.
Maybe he's not.

Either way, i will be all right.
Don't worry about me.

You know i will.

I'll call you when i land. Yeah.

I love you.

Don't forget me when you're
a big star, lucas scott.

Mm-Hmm.

* so many years apart
i've missed *

You know, hales, with everything
you've been through lately,

I'm sure principal turner
would understand

If you needed a little
more time off.

I think two weeks
of replaying that day

In my head is enough.

It's time for me to get back
to my life.

Besides, it will be nice
to have the distraction.

If you need me,
you know i'm here.

Yeah.

You know what?
Let's cut through shop.

You can cut through shop?

You were such a nerd
in high school.

I was an honor student!

Exactly.

Nerd.

"Nerd."

You don't know what you'd do
without me.

Nathan!

So, you want to tell me
why you were sleeping

In the backseat of a car
at school?

Well, it was either there

Or that smelly couch
in the teacher's lounge.

I can't believe you sit
on that thing.

For the record,
i don't go near that thing.

So, tell me
where you live

Because i'm pretty sure
it's not in shop class.

I live in a foster home.

Okay.

Well,
give me your number.

I'm gonna need to speak
with your foster parents.

Hell no. Please.
That'll just make it worse.

This is none
of your business, okay?

Sam, if there's a problem
at home, tell me.

I can get you some help.

There's not a problem.

This is one of the better
fosteromes i've been in.

The others were...

Not so good.

So it's just a little crowded.
It's okay.

It's not okay, sam.

Is there anybody
that was worried

That you didn't come home
last night?

You don't get it.

Nobody cares.

It's kind of like
being invisible.

Cash their checks, i don't get
slapped around. That's the deal.

And it's a pretty
good deal.

So don't screw this up
for me.

Sam, i can't just pretend
like this didn't happen.

You're 15 years old.

There has to be something
better for you.

You seem nice,
but i'm not your girl.

I'm not anybody's girl.
It happens.

Sam!

Millie: look who it is -
The world's best boss.

And what are you
buttering me up for?

Nothing.
We just have lots to do.

Millie,
i love you dearly,

But you realize we are
standing in a clothing store

That has no clothes
in it,

And i am fresh out
of ideas.

Are you sure about that?

What is that?

I wrote down a list
of ideas.

And then you covered them
with a sheet?

Yeah, that was more
for effect.

I've always wanted to pull
a sheet off something

And say "voil?"

All right, well,
now's your big chance.

"Go skydiving"?

You didn't let me
say "voil?"

I'm sorry.
But, look.

Skydiving sounds
really fun and all,

But how is it gonna help
this company?

Well, maybe before
you can heal the company,

You have to heal your soul
a little first.

"Ride a motorcycle.

"Learn to speak french.

"Get drunk at oktoberfest.

Watch every
james bond movie."

Millie, why do these
all sound so familiar?

Because they're all
your ideas.

You're always talking
about stuff you wanted to try,

And victoria either said
they were stupid

Or you were too busy.

So while she was
telling me

I couldn't do any
of these things...

I was writing them down
so someday you could.

Welcome to someday,
brooke davis.

* maybe they had it made
somehow *

* living for there and then *

* under a psychedelic spell *

Thank you.

So, you gonna show
me something?

* still they had so much
to tell *

* whatever happens
to the dreamers *

Hey, man.
What the hell was that?

That was game.

We not working
on your jumper,

So why would you pull up
like that?

You cut off the lane.

So, don't let me cut
the lane off, then.

What if your jumper
not falling that day?

So, what? You too scared
to get physical?

You want physical?
Yeah.

* it's only when they close
their eyes *

Hoo-Hoo. That's what i'm talking
about, baby.

Whoo!

You're doing great, honey.

Thanks.Thanks.

Just check the ball.

* i love you, i do *

* nothing's ever been
this way before *

* a dream is just a dream
and nothing more *

* nothing's ever been
this way before *

* a dream is just a dream
and nothing more *

Were you ever sober
for an entire year?

What part of "rock guitarist"
don't you get?

That's what i thought.

If you don't mind,
i'll have that back.

Why? So you can keep lying
to yourself?

You wouldn't understand.

You're right. You're right.
I don't understand.

I don't understand
any of this.

Honestly, i wish
you hadn't have come here.

I would have sucked
at being your father!

???At's why ellie and i
gave you up.

There, i said it.
Are you happy now?

After 22 years,

That is the best
you can give me -

"There, i said it"?

That's all i got.

Thanks, dad.
You can go now.

This is why i like
being on the road.

Hey, grandpa.
Where's nanny deb?

I'm here
to pick you up today.

Really? Cool.

So, wh do you
want to do?

Well, that depends.

What do you and nanny deb
usually do after school?

Um, eat lots
of ice cream.

That doesn't sound
like deb.

Are you sure she lets you eat
ice cream after school?

No.

She makes me eat
veggies instead,

Because they'll help me
grow big and strong.

You want to know
a little secret?

Most adults will tell you
almost anything

To get you to eat your veggies,
and most of it's not true.

Well, carrots really do
give you x-Ray vision, right?

No.

What?

* so let me in *

So, grandpa, do i really
get to make a wish

For every brussels sprout
i eat?

No, actually, they taste bad
for no reason at all.

Come on.

Hey, slow down
there, buddy.

You're gonna give yourself
a brain freeze.

Mmm. Is that good?

Well, well.
What have we here?

Oh. Guess what?
They kiss a lot.

* well, they said
you was long gone *

You want some more?

Hey, little buddy.

Hi, uncle skills.
Hi, nanny deb.

Ice cream after school.

And i thought
i was a bad nanny.

Yeah. Well, you know,

They ran out of all
those x-Ray vision carrots.

*... and said all right *

So, granny deb,
can i talk to you?

* babydoll, the men who hang
like flowers in your hall *

* are asking when
your love... *

Is skills
out of high school yet?

Uh, yeah, dan.

He graduated the day you turned
yourself in for murder.

And if you've come here
to criticize me -

I haven't.

I wanted to thank you
for telling the parole board

The truth about carrie.

You did the right thing.

Did i?

Are we done here?

Yeah, that's all
i wanted to say.

Good.
Have a nice life, dan.

What's left of it.

* 'cause i can stay
or, honey... *

Let's go, antwon.
See you at home, sweetie.

* just to wherever
you tell me so *

* and find my place there *

Oh, it hurts.
It really hurts.

Yeah,
i know how you feel.

Oh, my head.

Hey.

Did you eat all
the orange chicken?

Sorry.

Mouth usually gets9a
the mongolian beef

And i eat all
the orange chicken.

Lucky for you
i like mongolian beef.

How you doing...

Being away from him?

To be honest,
i wish he'd just come home.

If you ever decide you want
to leave, you just o.

No questions asked.

Thanks, brooke, but you've
always been there for me.

I think it's my turn
to be here for you.

* babydoll *

Lucas scott.

Lon. I'm with
putnam and pratt.

It's nice to meet you.

So, is lindsey gonna mt us
at the bookstore?

No, lindsey's in new york.

I'm gonna be taking her place
on the tour.

Oh.

Well, i guess it's just
you and me, then. Yep.

So, uh, what'd you think
about the book?

To be honest, i haven't had
a chance to read it yet,

But, hey, it's at the top
of my to-Do list.

"Comet," right?
I love science-Fiction.

Taking a trip
down memory lane?

I was just
dropping off jamie.

I know.

I heard about quentin fields.
I'm sorry.

He was a good
basketball player.

Yeah.

???

Makes you wonder how somebody
could do something like that.

It was good
to see you, son.

You saved my wife.
You saved my son.

But you killed my uncle,
right here where i'm standing.

I don't know
where that leaves us.

At least my son
loves you.

And my son hates me.

Both of them.

I thought i said
you could go.

Yeah, well,
i... thought we should talk.

Okay.

I want to know why
you came here

Pretending not to be
my real dad.

What's a real dad?

I mean, you got a dad,

And obviously he did a good job
with you.

So why do you have to keep
pushg it?

Because it matters!

So all this is just because
i couldn't tell you the truth?

No! No.

All of this because
you have missed my whole life,

And it really doesn't seem
to bother you.

You know,
i think you're right.

It's probably a good time for me
to just move on.

Great. I'm glad we can agree
on something.

* good arms versus bad arms... *

You know, this turnout
isn't exactly inspiring me

To read your book, lucas.

Whose brilliant idea
was it

To put this signing in
the science-Fiction section?

It's a book
about space, right?

No, actually,
um, the comet's a metaphor.

It's a love story.

Well, you know what?

We could have had this thing
out in the middle of main street,

We wouldn't have gotten
any more traffic.

Thanks for the support.

Yeah.

Will you sign my book?

Yeah, of course i will.
What's your name?

Hadley.
Hadley.

That's a really
pretty name.

You know,
my best friend's name is haley.

But, uh,
i like "hadley" better.

Thanks.

Uh, actually,
this is a "gossip girl" book.

I know - My favorite.

*... rest at arm's length *

* when they reach out,
don't touch them *

Here you go.
Thanks.

Mouth. Oh, my god.
It's good to see you, man.

Lucas scott -
Big-Time writer.

Am i the, uh,
last one to arrive?

A- Actually,
you're the first.

Oh?
Yeah.

Oh.

* i decided this decision
some... *

When did brooke davis become
all work and no play?

I am actually playing
right now.

I'm gonna take
skydiving lessons.

You want to come
with me?

Ah, thanks,
but, no. No, thank you.

Come on. I'm looking up
the safest places to go.

Okay, well, i'm pretty sure
they're all equally unsafe.

Listen.

Would you be interested
in fostering a child?

Well, i guess it would depend
on the situation.

Do you remember sam?

She's, um - She's the one
that stole from your store.

It figures she'd get pregnant.
She's so young!

No, she's not pregnant.
It's her.

She's the one
that needs fostering.

But she's so old.

Well, she's 15.

Look, i found her sleeping

In the backseat of a car
in shop class,

And her current
foster parents

Didn't even know
that she was gone.

Well, maybe they can
foster her in jail,

'Cause it's where
she's headed.

I think she's just acting out
for attention.

It kind of reminds me
of somebody else

I used to know
in high school.

Haley, i'm sorry, but...

I can't take in a teenager
right now.

Find me a cute little baby
in shop class,

We can talk about it.

That's okay.
I- I totally understand.

It's just...

I think of jamie and how i would
do anything to protect him.

And then i look at sam,

And i wonder...
who's protecting her.

Well, this is officially
embarrassing.

Luke, it's not that bad.

I've signed exactly
two books today,

One of which
was a "gossip girl" book.

I hear those
are pretty good.

That's not helping, mouth.

I'm sorry.

Look,
maybe it's just omaha.

I doubt it. My first book
sold really well here.

This can't be good.

Well, then,
look on the bright side.

You get to hang out
with an old friend.

Can i get a picture?

Yeah, sure.

All right, sweet.
Okay.

Right there. Thanks.

Sorry, luke.

Say it.

Actually,
i'd rather not.

Come on.
Just say it.

This is marvin mcfadden
on sports,

And you've just heard
a mouthful.

Nice!

Thank you.
Yeah.

Thank you.

So, how'd it go
with brooke?

She's just not ready
to take in

A rebellious teenager
right now.

Well...
she could stay with us.

No.
I thought about that,

But jamie's been through
so much.

It's just not a good time
for him.

Yeah. So have you.

Hello.

Nate - Mike wilson.

Listen. I heard
you were looking

For the opportunity
to play ball again.

Yes, sir?

Well, i have one for you.

But it might not be exactly
what you're thinking.

* come on *

* wow *

* wow *

Wow.

???

Man, that can't be good
for nobody's back.

This is the coolest thing
i've ever seen.

You have to do this, daddy.

Yeah.

Brooke.
What is all this?

I have to tell you
something.

Okay.

I'm sorry,
but i lied to you.

I didn't fall
down the stairs, peyton.

So, what are you
thinking, man?

For real?
Yeah.

Well, i was wondering

If your mom would ever get back
with your dad.

Man, i'm not talking about this
with you.

Well, you asked me
what i was thinking about.

That's what i was
thinking about.

That's not what i meant.

And will you stop
trying to act

Like this situation with my mom
is for real?

What's that
supposed to?Mean?

You know exactly
what it means.

The only people
signing off on this

Are you, her,
and jamie, okay?

Look at that boy.

He's just jumping around,
having fun.

I mean, after everything
he been through lately,

He just keep going.

Won't let nothing
beat him down.

That's a strong kid
right there.

He gets that
from his mom.

No.

He gets it
from both of you.

Owen: well, well.

Guess it's official.

They will let anyone play
in this league.

I see that.

How you doing, man?
Good, man.

You know skills, right?
What's up, skills?

You really think victoria

Could have done something
like that to you?

No.

I mean, i don't know.

I think i needed somebody
to blame.

I wish you would have
told me.

I wanted to,
but i didn't know how.

Honey, i am your best friend.
I love you.

That is why you have me.

And it kills me that i wasn't
able to be there for you.

It's gonna sound weird,

But i was just
really embarrassed.

I felt weak and...

You and luke
were so happy,

And i did not want to ruin that
for you.

No. Hey.

I never want you to think

That you can't come to me
for anything.

I'm here for you
forever.

Promise?

Yeah!

Of course i promise.
You're stuck with me.

I'm really sorry
that i've been distant.

I'm trying to get back.

It's just gonna take
a little while.

I'm not going
anywhere... ever.

Lucas.
We need to talk.

Okay, but, please,
when we get to seattle,

Don't set me up
in the science-Fiction section.

There isn't gonna be
a seattle.

And what about the $est
of the tour?

It's over.
I'm sorry.

Because of one bad
signing?

Let's face it.

If they didn't come out
to see you here in omaha,

They're not gonna come see you
in the bigger markets.

I need to talk to lindsey.
She believes in this book.

It wasn't her decision.

And if it makes you feel
any better,

She didn't agree with it.

That's why you didn't read
the book.

Lucas -

You are - You knew this
was gonna happen.

They sent you to deliver
the bad news.

What are you -
The grim reaper?

I've been called worse.

I'm sure you have.

I am sorry, lucas.

Go home,
write another book.

I promise i'll read
the next one.

* guess it ends here *

Oh.

Dude, do you know what
this reminds me of? What?

Um, remember second grade

When you found out how much
money martha stewart made,

And you started your own
cookie business?

Oh, my god - Brookies.
Brookies!

The only thing worse
than the name

Was the actual cookie.

???

They were terrible!

And you almost burnt
my house down.

No. No, i didn't.
Yes, you did!

I did not.
I set off one smoke detector,

And your dad acted like i almost
burned the house down.

He was so mad at me.

No, he was just worried
about us.

It felt kind of nice

To have somebody worried
for a change.

Hey, speaking of larry,

Uh, you're not the only one
keeping secrets.

I probably should have
told you this.

I've met my birth dad.

What?

Yeah, it's mick -
The guitarist.

Are you serious?
What's he like?

Ohh. Um...
he's a mess.

I mean, it's cool
that he's a musician,

But he's just really not
what i expected him to be.

Yeah, i'm sorry, peyton.

I know how it feels.

If only we could pick
our parents.

Yeah, but then you look
at larry,

And it's pretty cool
when they get to pick you.

I'm sorry omaha
wasn't everything

You hoped it would be,
luke.

Oh, it isn't that bad.

At least oed today was mine.9?

How about you, huh?

Is omaha everything
you hoped it would be?

I like it here.
I mean, they love their sports.

You should see this place during
the college world series.

The whole city
gets into it.

I have the job
i've always dreamed of.

Well, it sounds like
you're right at home.

That's the thing.
It's not home.

At least not
without millie.

Yeah, how is that
working for you?

It hasn't been easy.

The truth is
i'm kind of lost without her,

But she knows how important
this job is to me,

So we'll make it work.

I'm sure you will.

So, you're headed back
to tree hill.

You gonna be okay?

I'll survive.

Like my mom always says,
you know,

"Whenever you're having
a bad day,

"Someone else out there
is having a worse day.

So just stop and focus
on all the good things."

I mean, think about it.
She's right.

Today, i got to hang out
with one of my best friends,

And then tonight,
i get to go home to peyton.

Sounds like
a pretty good day.

I mean, i'm not gonna lie.

I was really looking forward
to this book tour.

I guess i just
thought that...

I'd be on top of the world
for a couple weeks.

Yeah, me too.

Hey, what's up, jamie?
How you doing, buddy?

Sorry, owen.
I'm on team brooke.

Did it just get cold
in here?

Yeah, i don't blame him.
I screwed that up.

It's none
of my business, man.

So, what you think, man?
You gonna come play for us?

We need a scorer.

I - I don't know.

It's fun out there, nate -
Flying through the air.

Nothing like it.

I'm just worried my back

Can't take something like this
right now.

It's not as bad
as it looks.

Besides, they got springs
in the floor.

It's gonna be easier
on your back than hardwood.

Yeah, but
on a hardwood floor,

The other players
can't knock you out.

Just remember - They can't hit
you if they can't catch you.

Ohh.

That won't be you.

How do i look?

For a guy wearing too much
makeup, you look pretty cute.

Thanks.
I miss you.

Omaha's just not the same
without you.

Tree hill's not the same
without you.

Have a good show.

Call me later.

Hi. I was just heading home.
What do you got there?

Cookies.

They're mostly burnt, but it's
the thought that counts.

Enjoy.

Thanks.

Um, i added a few more ideas
to the list.

"Be a mom."

It's no fun being alone.

Okay, before we jump
into the day's scores,

I wanted to follow up
on a story

We did a couple of weeks ago
about darren rivers.

Now, for those of you
who just landed on earth,

He's the pro-Bowl quarterback

Who shocked the world
last month

When he retired from the nfl,

Turning down a $68 million
contract extension

So he could spend more time
with his family.

Now, naturally,
i put up a czy meter

With darren's face
in the middle of it.

I gave him an 8 out of 10.

Well, it turns out he might be
the least crazy all of us.

You see, he just realized
that money isn't everything.

I think sometimes
we all lose sight

Of what really matters
the most.

Darren rivers just figured
it out before i did.

So, darren, please accept
my sincere apology,

And i'm officially moving you
down the crazy meter

From an 8 to a 3.

Because let's face it -

You still turned down
$68 million.

In the american league...
hello?

Hi. How's
my favorite author?

He was just thinking
about his fianc?E.

Oh, well, should i give you
five minutes?

No, i was just packing.

You off to seattle?

Um...

Actually,
i'm coming home.

They canceled
my book tour.

What are you
talking about? Why?

It doesn't matter.

No, it does matter.
You worked so hard for this.

Hey, it's okay, peyton.

I still have you, and that's all
that really matters.

Besides, this book brought us
back together, so...

It's the best thing
i've ever written.

You come home to me, then.
I love you.

I love you, too.

I'll be home soon.
Bye.

...1-0.

Two words - Batting practice.
Pass it on.

This isn't soccer.

That's it, omaha.

I'm marvin mcfadden on sports,

And you've just heard
a mouthful.

We'll be right back
after this.

What are you doing here?

It's kind of late
to be out alone.

Well,
i don't have a curfew.

Yeah. Hmm.

I didn't have a curfew
either.

When i was your age,

It was just me
and my parents' credit cards.

Lucky you.

Not really.

It would have been nice
to have someone to talk to.

Parents are overrated.

Sometimes.

Two weeks ago, my mom told me
she never wanted me.

Well... my mom gave me up
when i was born,

So, in a way,
she told me she didn't want me.

At least she didn't wait
35 years like yours did.

I'm not 35!

Do i look 35 to you?!

I don't know.
Uh, look, i-I got to get going.

Like you said,
it's getting late.

Listen.

Look, i know this is...

Totally out of the blue,

And i'm surprising myself
by saying it, but...

I have an extra room,
and it's yours if you want it.

You can come and go
as you please - Whatever.

So, what do you say?

I don't need this.
I can take care of myself.

Yeah, i know you can,

???Right now.

* moon pours through
the ceiling tonight *

Sam, if you're that
uncomfortable in my house,

You can always sleep
in my car.

* shows me we're right
for each other *

You don't come around
for 22 years,

And now you won't go.

Well, i wanted to leave you
with something.

This chip is the only truly
meaningful thing that i own,

And, um, now it's yours.

That was ellie's the year
she was pregnant with you.

And, uh, to tell the truth,
you saved her life, peyton.

She was hell-Bent on staying
sober during the pregnancy,

And that was hard for her.

* only the heartaches
have given me sight *

But it was so much harder
giving you up.

Then why did she?

Because we thought
there was a better life

For you out there.

We couldn't raise a kid,
not in our world.

But i don't think ellie
ever really got past it.

Why didn't you
just tell me that?

I don't know.

Maybi didn't want
to mess

With the picture you had
in your head

Of what your birth father
was really like -

Something better than me,
something more heroic.

I guess i just didn't want
to disappoint you.

* more than yesterday *

Anyhow,
i, uh, made a few calls.

I'm gonna jump
on the last leg

Of this tour
for a few weeks.

It's what i do.

I'm sorry.

* only the heartaches
have given me sight *

People always leave?

Sometimes that's
a good thing, huh?

But, for what it's worth,
you're doing great, kid.

I'll see ya.

Mick.

Thank you.

For what?

For giving me up.

* yeah, yeah *

Oh.

Ugh.

Hey.

These are for you.

I just figured you deserve
to be with somebody

Who gave you flowers.

Mmm, they're perfect.

Hey! Saw the show.

What'd you think?

You were great, mouth.

Thanks.
What time's your flight?

About an hour.

Well, i have
this crazy idea.

What if you didn't
get on it?

No offense, mouth,
but i cangt be your millie.

What do you think
about driving back?

You're coming home.

I guess i never
really left.

Yeah, but what about
your dream job?

Dream job or dream girl?

Dream girl.

No contest.

Although i'm kind of becoming
the flakiest employee ever,

But i don't care.

I miss millie,
and i miss my friends.

It just took me
a little while

To realize
what was important.

All right, let's do it.
Yes!

But i'm driving.
You got a book to read.

Are you gonna make me read
your book

With you sitting
right next to me?

Cover to cover.

I may even quiz you.

Well, it's aaood thing
i like science fiction.

Ohh.

* the subject
of some new disgrace *

* her whole story
was so obvious to me *

Well, that all depends
on what my wife thinks.

This league is -
Is different.

Different how?

That sounds physical.

It's not... really.

It's a lot of dunking,
and it's kind of

It's called slamball.

Uh...

Look, here's the thing.

I'm not ready
to give it up yet,

But no team is gonna give me
a tryout

Unless i prove
that i'm healthy.

So i thought this would...

I don't know.

You really think
you can still play?

I know i can.

And no one else
will give you a tryout?

Make that shot.

Okay. Back up now
and try it again.

One more time.

*... when we got married *

* there were things
i never said *

They are crazy
not to give you a tryout.

Ugh.

Go play slamball.

Yeah?
Yeah.

And this is officially
a comeback, nathan scott.

* you know when a heart's
in pain *

So, this is it.

* there's nobody... *

Check it out.

* the only light
under the doctor's knife *

* is that we're the same *

* hearts in,
hearts in, hearts in *

This is your room.

I've never had
my own room before.

in the war of your life *

My hero.
Oh, geez.

Ohh.

So, what do you think
of the book so far?

Dude, seriously.
Quit asking me.

I will throw this book
out the window.

That's the only signed one
in the world.

It's a collector's item.

We'll always have
omaha, mouth.

You just said a mouthful.
