One Tree Hill s01e13 Episode Script
Hanging by a Moment
Okay folks, this is it.
Haley James steps to the line with a flawless 4.
0 GPA hanging in the balance.
Shes going to need this free throw to pass Phys-Ed.
Otherwise, her perfect grade point average is history.
Come on, Hales.
You can do it.
Dont miss it, tutor girl.
Peyton.
So, hows everything with your dad? - Its fine, thanks.
- Yeah.
And how about with us? Moment of weakness, right? - Ive been feeling guilty about it all weekend.
- Me too.
Listen, lets just bury it and pretend it didnt happen, okay? Sure.
Hi friend! Girl.
Boy.
Whats the latest scandal? You two never have any good gossip.
Are we still redoing your bedroom tonight? - Yes.
- Terrific.
- You up for some heavy lifting? - Well, I - Would love to help? - Yeah.
You, me and broody in your bedroom all night.
The web cam pervs are gonna love it.
Dan has a son from a previous relationship.
Lucas.
Shes know about this kid for years and all of a sudden its grounds for separation? He joined Nathans basketball team.
Thats when things got worse.
Dan as I recall you chose not to be a part of Lucas life.
Richmond University.
Wow.
Not exactly the end all and be all to psychology degrees.
Am I right, doc? We were talking about Lucas.
Hey doc, did you ever read that article about the mountain climber who had his arm wedged beneath a boulder? His arm was caught beneath a thousand pound rock.
So he cut it off just below the elbow using nothing but a pocket knife.
Of course he had to break the bone first.
Some people find that hard to believe.
But its simple really.
He found himself faced with a difficult situation, he did what he had to do to survive.
I made a choice.
To cut away the part of me that he me trapped.
You can question my judgment if you want to.
The fact of the matter is, you can never really understand it, until its you thats caught beneath the weight.
And was I a weight too? Because I got pregnant shortly after Karen.
How do you explain being with me and not her? Because with you I saw a future.
Hey, Peyton.
Oh, hey Brooke had to take off early so she said for you to call her.
Okay.
You got a sec? Uh, yeah.
Whats up? I lied.
Okay, I cant bury what happened between us.
Lucas, Brooke is my best friend.
And shes your girlfriend.
- I know.
But - But nothing.
Okay? Thats where were at right now.
Its not fair to her to make a big deal out of what happened.
It didnt mean anything.
- Im sorry.
- Peyton.
See? It does mean something.
- It cant.
- But it does.
- Lucas, youre dating Brooke.
- I know.
And shes great.
Okay? But, shes not you.
Look, ever since you came to my room and you told me how you felt about me Ive been hiding with Brooke.
Okay? Ive been trying not to get hurt again.
I dont want to hide anymore.
Even if we could be together, what makes you think it would work? Cause I feel it in my heart.
Dont you? Yes.
So what are we going to do? Whats up, loser? Hey, you.
Im just finishing up this email to my mom cause she comes back tomorrow.
Oh cool.
Tell her I said Hi.
Youre going to call me when she gets back from the airport, right? Oh yeah.
Cool.
So, I need to borrow a couple of things from you, like your basketball and you.
Okay, why? Because Im totally flagging PE and I need you to show me how to throw a stinking free shot.
- Free throw.
- Whatever You know Id love to, Hales, but Ive got to do some stuff with Brooke and Peyton tonight.
Like what? I kind of need to talk to you about something.
Whats going on? - Hey, tutor girl.
- Tiger, whats up? Never mind.
Rain check? You kids have fun.
You ready to go? Yeah, sure.
Then lets go, boyfriend.
Whats the good word, coach? There is no good word.
What brings you around here? Oh, a little victory celebration.
Whats the occasion? I thought you might want to toast your 500th win.
Yeah, well Im beating the rush.
Well, I guess this could serve as a dual toast.
Whys that? Im thinking of stepping down.
That come as a big surprise to you, Keith? Well yeah.
Yeah, it does.
A fellow cant coach forever.
Well, he cant quit while he still loves the game.
Who says I love it? You do.
Every time you step out onto that court.
This game is what keeps you young.
Without it youd I dont know youd be off somewhere babbling, wearing a dress.
You havent seen me at home.
I promised myself Id coach for 20 years, then Camilla and I would start living.
Was that your jump shot? Cause if that was your jump shot, I cant date you anymore.
My mom said youd be here.
Something about a grade? Yeah.
You cannot be here right now.
- Why not? - Because I look stupid.
You realize Ive seen you in that crocheted poncho thing you wear, right? Come on this is embarrassing! I want you to think Im not embarrassing.
You dont embarrass me, Haley.
Oh yeah? Okay.
Okay, I take that back.
- I cant do it.
- Yes you can.
Just Alright, square your shoulders, to the basket.
And youve got to bring the ball up right past your nose like this.
Okay? Bend your knees a little.
Relax your hips.
And just shoot.
Okay, that wasnt perfect but it also wasnt embarrassing.
It was actually kind of sexy.
- Come again.
- Thanks.
I got to hand it to you, Deb.
Youve done one hell of a job here.
Thanks, Keith.
So I hope you dont take this the wrong way, but Im just really excited about Karen coming back.
Yeah, so am I.
If you dont mind me asking, how are things with you and Dan? Oh, I dont know.
Were going to therapy but Im not sure we can find our way back.
To where? The people we used to be.
We used to laugh more.
We were kind to each other.
We were in love.
What about now? I honestly dont know.
A little help! Thanks.
My pleasure.
- Im Carrie.
- Dan.
Dan.
I was wondering what the name of the attractive man who jogs past my bungalow every morning was.
Yeah? What was it? So what are you doing on my beach, Carrie? I heard its a great place to pick up guys.
Only the light ones.
Well, it was a pleasure meeting you.
Even with the ugly hat.
Um, Dan.
The yellow cottage is mine.
Come by and see me sometime.
Hey girly, lets do some damage.
- Were going to hell.
- Peyton.
No honestly, we are horrible, rotten people.
Come on you two, lets go! - Lucas, I dont want to hurt her.
- Neither do I.
Okay? But weve got to tell her.
Tonight.
Lets go! Okay, broody show us what youve got.
Want to hear a secret? I know you do.
Brooke Im falling for him.
Big time.
Speechless right? I know, its crazy but this is like L-O-V-E mad crushed out, Im in big trouble.
- Thats - What is this? On the stereo.
- Its Tegan and Sara.
- I know that.
But what song? Dont confess.
Um, you know what? I totally flaked.
I forgot paint brushes.
Well, we could finger paint.
No, really.
Maybe we should just do this another time.
Im kind of not feeling well right now.
Really, you guys should go.
Okay? Cause Im going to launch any second now.
Well how about we do it tomorrow night, after Lucas mom gets back.
Fine, tomorrow night.
Okay.
Come on, Ill let you buy me hot chocolate.
And P.
Sawyer, please dont hurl too much.
Because if you get any thinner, Im gonna start looking fat.
I cant do this to her.
Have I told you lately how much I like you? Why? Why do I tell you? No, why do you like me? Hmm, pity mostly.
How come youre so quiet tonight? Im just anxious about my mom coming back tomorrow.
Yeah, me too.
Why are you? Cause I want her to like me.
Plus she sounds really cool, and Im not that close with my mom so I just think itd be great if I hit it off with yours.
You cant control love, you know? Your mom and Keith.
Youre worried about their relationship, right? Right.
Theyll be okay.
People that are meant to be together always find their way in the end.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- I was hoping youd be here.
- Whats up? Um, I actually need some advice, and I didnt have anybody to talk to.
Brookes not around? Sorry.
Wheres the rest of your minions? What Minions? Youre like the queen of the hive.
I guess I have a lot of friends, but I dont really have any I can talk to.
Okay, um, lets just go over So whats on your mind? Um you know when you first realized that you liked Nathan, and you knew that Lucas would flip out? Howd you deal with that? Why? Whats going on? Its just friend of a friend stuff.
Okay, um I sort of asked myself, repeatedly, if this thing with Nathan is really worth losing my best friend over.
Yeah.
Look, if Lucas is really my best friend, then he should just be happy for me.
Its not like he was dating Nathan.
Are you sure youre okay? - Im good.
Thanks Haley.
- Sure.
Coach for 20 years, Win 500 games, Make a difference.
Yeah.
You wanted to see me? That was an interesting meal the other night, wasnt it? Yeah.
Tell me something, Nathan.
Have I made a difference to you? What do you mean? I mean being on this team, me rattling on all the time, have you learned anything? I move my feet better on defense.
Well, thats something, I guess.
Theres a couple of new plays in that folder that you missed out on.
Coach, I just wanted to say thanks.
For letting me back on the team.
Todays the day, I still suck.
Come on, its alright.
Just keep your elbows in.
Whats this? Hey, dad.
Im just giving Haley a few pointers.
Ill bet.
- Haley.
- Mr.
Scott.
So Nathan, I thought wed grill up some steaks at the beach house for dinner.
Just the two of us.
That sounds great, Dad.
But Haley and I have plans tonight.
Okay.
Some other time, huh? Sure.
I heard you were back on the team.
I think thats a good move.
Yeah.
Hows my house? Im sorry.
You should go with your dad tonight, if you want.
I dont want to go with my dad.
I want to be with you.
Now knock down this shot like I know you can.
Its okay.
This calls for drastic measures.
Youre going to be fine.
Try it granny style.
Hey.
I so owe you.
Good, cause I need a favor.
Hey.
I just came by to check on you.
You know, considering the throw down with mom and dad and everything.
Oh, so now youre concerned about me.
After bringing Whitey to my house last week to antagonize me.
I didnt think it would hurt.
No, Keith, you knew it would.
Thats why you did it.
Okay whatever, Danny, look I just came by to see how you were doing.
My mistake.
Yet another one by you.
You know, its no wonder youre all alone out here.
Youre right, Keith, I am alone.
Now.
But youre alone period.
You want to know why? Because youre malicious.
Im malicious? You bring Whitey to my house, you put Lucas on the basketball team, so its no wonder Im out here by myself.
Its almost as if you planed it that way.
Easy on the conspiracy theories, Danny.
Maybe you want to take a look in the mirror.
Oh so where are you running off to now? The airport.
Right, still living that lie huh? Unless of course you and Karen are a couple.
As a matter of fact, after tonight, we will be.
Wow.
High School fantasies really do come true.
Well, you always had a thing for her.
Even when I was with her.
But you should ask yourself one question, Keith.
If you werent good enough for her then, what makes you think youll be good enough for her now? - Hey.
- Hey.
- 3 hours till Karen.
- Yep.
So ask me what mistake I just made.
What mistake did you just make? I just went to see Dan.
Why? I dont know.
Brotherly Love.
I thought maybe he could use someone to talk to, but hes in a really dark place right now.
Im sorry, he doesnt do well alone.
Well sure.
No one to tear down when hes alone.
Except himself.
You hungry? Oh no.
But I could use a beer.
I know.
Thats why I could use a breezer.
I never told you this but before she left, she kissed me in the airport.
And it wasnt just one of those, you know, see you later kind of kisses.
Keith, thats great.
Yeah it is.
Its funny, I feel like Im about to start the life that I always wanted.
Its 3 hours away.
Im scared as hell.
Well, it couldnt happen to two better people.
Thanks.
Youre going to be fine.
Dan.
Dan.
You disappoint me.
Hows that, Carrie? You dont call, You dont write.
And when I come over to invite you to dinner, you start without me.
Actually youre right on time.
Would you care to join me? Id like that.
Hey, did you know that Whiteys real name is Brian? Brian Durham? Yeah! Who knew? Come here, this is great.
This sites got his whole record before Tree Hill.
Thats perfect.
Im gonna go get something to drink, do you want anything? No Im fine, thanks.
This is so wrong.
Sneaking around behind Brooke.
Do you think thats part of it? Part of what? Us.
You know, that this is wrong.
Somehow it makes it feel deeper.
Lucas, Brooke and I have been best friends since elementary school.
Weve always put our friendship before guys.
Do you really think Id risk losing my best friend over a fling? Cause I wouldnt do that.
Okay.
Look, I dont want to hurt Brooke.
And I dont want to come between the two of you.
But I have to be with you.
Would you like something to drink, Carrie? How's your red wine selection? Excellent.
Do you need a hand? No, Im just looking for a cork screw.
Well, you better find one or youll never get me drunk.
Dan? Im sorry.
Im sure youre a great person, Carrie.
But I have a wife I love very much.
Thats sweet, but also a coincidence.
Since I have a husband I love very much.
But then again, our spouses arent here, are they? Or maybe one of them is.
I guess Ill go.
Deb Hey, were just about to pick up my mom.
What is going on with you and Peyton? Nothing.
So you guys werent together recently? No.
Why? Whatd you talk to Peyton? Why? Are you trying to figure out what lie to tell me next? - I wanted to tell you, Hales.
- Tell me what? - That weve been - Yeah, I know youve been cause I saw you kissing her which is a really jack ass move considering you have a girlfriend named Brooke.
Dont lecture me, Haley.
I know that.
- So stop it.
- I cant.
Its complicated.
Its not complicated, its simple.
Its really simple.
What youre doing is wrong.
And if you cant see that, I dont like the person youre becoming.
Okay, the person Im becoming? What about the person youre becoming? - What does that mean? - You know what it means, Haley.
Nathan says a few nice things to you to get back at me and you fall for it.
Oh my God! If I hear that one more time.
You know that I did that for you.
- You did it for me?! - Yeah.
Okay, is that what you tell yourself every time youre kissing him? That youre doing it for me? Youre the one thats lying.
Alright, if youre looking for betrayal, look to yourself.
You know what, Luke? Next time you see me, dont talk to me.
Fine! Fine! It was completely innocent.
She has a beach house.
I had an extra steak.
And a bottle of wine.
Deb, I was lonely for some company.
Im lonely too, Dan.
But Im not off frolicking with the pool boy.
Conversation, Deb.
Remember? Like we used to have? Okay, so its my fault? My deficiencies as a conversationalist have driven you to dine with beach whores.
Are you hungry? Oh Deb, please.
Deb.
Deb, dont go.
Deb, wait.
Look.
Look at this.
Those two people were happy.
They loved each other.
The hurricane that fall washed half the beach away.
Yeah.
And took those people with it.
Deb, dont go.
I love you.
So youre just going to quit, huh? Win 500 games and walk away? I did a little research in the library.
You were in the library? Temperature must have dropped in hell.
I promised Camilla Id win 500 games then walk away.
We were going to grow old together.
Youre already old, coach.
Besides, whos going to yell at me, huh? Im not supposed to yell at you, Nathan, youre supposed to learn things.
Yeah but what fun would that be? You love yelling at me.
- I do not! - Yes, you do.
You love to yell at me and I love to make you yell.
Well, if youd listen once and a while you knucklehead! You know not many coaches win 500 games.
No not many high school coaches win 500 games, you know why? Cause they move up to the next level.
To carpeted locker rooms and air-conditioned buses, and games that matter.
Thats a bunch of crap, coach.
And you know it.
These are the games that matter.
They matter to kids who are just trying to figure themselves out.
Figure out who theyre going to be.
Look, the other day, you asked me if youve made a difference.
Well, you have.
At least with me.
Son.
At some point, youve got to do it on your own.
Yeah, at some point.
We both know Ive got a long way to go, coach.
Just dont give up on me.
Hi its Deb, leave a message and Ill get back to you.
Deb, its me.
Im coming to see you.
Its like theyre all judging you.
You cant hide in here anymore.
Well, Lucas should be here soon.
Brooke, youre my best friend.
- So - No, I mean it.
Youre my best friend, you know that, right? Yeah, crazy.
What drugs are you on and can I have some? I need to tell you something.
Whats wrong? I had a little disagreement with Lucas.
- About me? - No just the way hes been acting, hes really disappointing me.
What? Nothing, its just kind of ironic.
Whats ironic? Lucas, being a jerk.
How is that how is that ironic? Well, cause that used to be my role, right? I mean this whole thing started cause I was just trying to mess with Lucas.
Its just kind of weird, thats all.
- I need to come home.
- No.
No.
- Deb - Dont, Dan.
Theres nothing you can say anymore.
I want a divorce.
So you excited to see your mom? Yeah.
It seems like just yesterday I was kissing her goodbye at the airport.
Wait, you were kissing my mother? Yeah, saying goodbye.
Okay, Keith could you just do me a favor and keep the PDA to a minimum.
You think maybe you could keep that tattoo covered up for a while? Like, say, the rest of your life.
Listen, Luke, I know it wasnt always smooth sailing between us, but whatever your mom wants us to be, I just want you to know that I love you too, Keith.
Keith! Easy, easy Keith I got you.
Come on.
Lucas.
Get Lucas! Dan.
Is Luke okay? Hes going to be okay, Keith.
I need a doctor.
My brothers in the car, he needs some help.
- What happened? - Car Accident.
He was on the passengers side.
Nearest point of impact.
Set up for a chest tube.
Cross in time for 4 units.
- Hes a minor? - Yeah.
- Hes going to need surgery.
- Do whatever you need to do, Doc.
Youre his legal guardian? Hes my son.
Well, youve got a concussion and Im going to have to close that.
But youll be fine.
So, how much have you had to drink today? Paging Karen Roe.
Karen Roe to the nearest white courtesy phone.
This is Karen Roe.

That sounds great, Dad.
But Haley and I have plans tonight.
Okay.
Some other time, huh? Sure.
I heard you were back on the team.
I think thats a good move.
Yeah.
Hows my house? Im sorry.
You should go with your dad tonight, if you want.
I dont want to go with my dad.
I want to be with you.
Now knock down this shot like I know you can.
Its okay.
This calls for drastic measures.
Youre going to be fine.
Try it granny style.
Hey.
I so owe you.
Good, cause I need a favor.
Hey.
I just came by to check on you.
You know, considering the throw down with mom and dad and everything.
Oh, so now youre concerned about me.
After bringing Whitey to my house last week to antagonize me.
I didnt think it would hurt.
No, Keith, you knew it would.
Thats why you did it.
Okay whatever, Danny, look I just came by to see how you were doing.
My mistake.
Yet another one by you.
You know, its no wonder youre all alone out here.
Youre right, Keith, I am alone.
Now.
But youre alone period.
You want to know why? Because youre malicious.
Im malicious? You bring Whitey to my house, you put Lucas on the basketball team, so its no wonder Im out here by myself.
Its almost as if you planed it that way.
Easy on the conspiracy theories, Danny.
Maybe you want to take a look in the mirror.
Oh so where are you running off to now? The airport.
Right, still living that lie huh? Unless of course you and Karen are a couple.
As a matter of fact, after tonight, we will be.
Wow.
High School fantasies really do come true.
Well, you always had a thing for her.
Even when I was with her.
But you should ask yourself one question, Keith.
If you werent good enough for her then, what makes you think youll be good enough for her now? - Hey.
- Hey.
- 3 hours till Karen.
- Yep.
So ask me what mistake I just made.
What mistake did you just make? I just went to see Dan.
Why? I dont know.
Brotherly Love.
I thought maybe he could use someone to talk to, but hes in a really dark place right now.
Im sorry, he doesnt do well alone.
Well sure.
No one to tear down when hes alone.
Except himself.
You hungry? Oh no.
But I could use a beer.
I know.
Thats why I could use a breezer.
I never told you this but before she left, she kissed me in the airport.
And it wasnt just one of those, you know, see you later kind of kisses.
Keith, thats great.
Yeah it is.
Its funny, I feel like Im about to start the life that I always wanted.
Its 3 hours away.
Im scared as hell.
Well, it couldnt happen to two better people.
Thanks.
Youre going to be fine.
Dan.
Dan.
You disappoint me.
Hows that, Carrie? You dont call, You dont write.
And when I come over to invite you to dinner, you start without me.
Actually youre right on time.
Would you care to join me? Id like that.
Hey, did you know that Whiteys real name is Brian? Brian Durham? Yeah! Who knew? Come here, this is great.
This sites got his whole record before Tree Hill.
Thats perfect.
Im gonna go get something to drink, do you want anything? No Im fine, thanks.
This is so wrong.
Sneaking around behind Brooke.
Do you think thats part of it? Part of what? Us.
You know, that this is wrong.
Somehow it makes it feel deeper.
Lucas, Brooke and I have been best friends since elementary school.
Weve always put our friendship before guys.
Do you really think Id risk losing my best friend over a fling? Cause I wouldnt do that.
Okay.
Look, I dont want to hurt Brooke.
And I dont want to come between the two of you.
But I have to be with you.
Would you like something to drink, Carrie? How's your red wine selection? Excellent.
Do you need a hand? No, Im just looking for a cork screw.
Well, you better find one or youll never get me drunk.
Dan? Im sorry.
Im sure youre a great person, Carrie.
But I have a wife I love very much.
Thats sweet, but also a coincidence.
Since I have a husband I love very much.
But then again, our spouses arent here, are they? Or maybe one of them is.
I guess Ill go.
Deb Hey, were just about to pick up my mom.
What is going on with you and Peyton? Nothing.
So you guys werent together recently? No.
Why? Whatd you talk to Peyton? Why? Are you trying to figure out what lie to tell me next? - I wanted to tell you, Hales.
- Tell me what? - That weve been - Yeah, I know youve been cause I saw you kissing her which is a really jack ass move considering you have a girlfriend named Brooke.
Dont lecture me, Haley.
I know that.
- So stop it.
- I cant.
Its complicated.
Its not complicated, its simple.
Its really simple.
What youre doing is wrong.
And if you cant see that, I dont like the person youre becoming.
Okay, the person Im becoming? What about the person youre becoming? - What does that mean? - You know what it means, Haley.
Nathan says a few nice things to you to get back at me and you fall for it.
Oh my God! If I hear that one more time.
You know that I did that for you.
- You did it for me?! - Yeah.
Okay, is that what you tell yourself every time youre kissing him? That youre doing it for me? Youre the one thats lying.
Alright, if youre looking for betrayal, look to yourself.
You know what, Luke? Next time you see me, dont talk to me.
Fine! Fine! It was completely innocent.
She has a beach house.
I had an extra steak.
And a bottle of wine.
Deb, I was lonely for some company.
Im lonely too, Dan.
But Im not off frolicking with the pool boy.
Conversation, Deb.
Remember? Like we used to have? Okay, so its my fault? My deficiencies as a conversationalist have driven you to dine with beach whores.
Are you hungry? Oh Deb, please.
Deb.
Deb, dont go.
Deb, wait.
Look.
Look at this.
Those two people were happy.
They loved each other.
The hurricane that fall washed half the beach away.
Yeah.
And took those people with it.
Deb, dont go.
I love you.
So youre just going to quit, huh? Win 500 games and walk away? I did a little research in the library.
You were in the library? Temperature must have dropped in hell.
I promised Camilla Id win 500 games then walk away.
We were going to grow old together.
Youre already old, coach.
Besides, whos going to yell at me, huh? Im not supposed to yell at you, Nathan, youre supposed to learn things.
Yeah but what fun would that be? You love yelling at me.
- I do not! - Yes, you do.
You love to yell at me and I love to make you yell.
Well, if youd listen once and a while you knucklehead! You know not many coaches win 500 games.
No not many high school coaches win 500 games, you know why? Cause they move up to the next level.
To carpeted locker rooms and air-conditioned buses, and games that matter.
Thats a bunch of crap, coach.
And you know it.
These are the games that matter.
They matter to kids who are just trying to figure themselves out.
Figure out who theyre going to be.
Look, the other day, you asked me if youve made a difference.
Well, you have.
At least with me.
Son.
At some point, youve got to do it on your own.
Yeah, at some point.
We both know Ive got a long way to go, coach.
Just dont give up on me.
Hi its Deb, leave a message and Ill get back to you.
Deb, its me.
Im coming to see you.
Its like theyre all judging you.
You cant hide in here anymore.
Well, Lucas should be here soon.
Brooke, youre my best friend.
- So - No, I mean it.
Youre my best friend, you know that, right? Yeah, crazy.
What drugs are you on and can I have some? I need to tell you something.
Whats wrong? I had a little disagreement with Lucas.
- About me? - No just the way hes been acting, hes really disappointing me.
What? Nothing, its just kind of ironic.
Whats ironic? Lucas, being a jerk.
How is that how is that ironic? Well, cause that used to be my role, right? I mean this whole thing started cause I was just trying to mess with Lucas.
Its just kind of weird, thats all.
- I need to come home.
- No.
No.
- Deb - Dont, Dan.
Theres nothing you can say anymore.
I want a divorce.
So you excited to see your mom? Yeah.
It seems like just yesterday I was kissing her goodbye at the airport.
Wait, you were kissing my mother? Yeah, saying goodbye.
Okay, Keith could you just do me a favor and keep the PDA to a minimum.
You think maybe you could keep that tattoo covered up for a while? Like, say, the rest of your life.
Listen, Luke, I know it wasnt always smooth sailing between us, but whatever your mom wants us to be, I just want you to know that I love you too, Keith.
Keith! Easy, easy Keith I got you.
Come on.
Lucas.
Get Lucas! Dan.
Is Luke okay? Hes going to be okay, Keith.
I need a doctor.
My brothers in the car, he needs some help.
- What happened? - Car Accident.
He was on the passengers side.
Nearest point of impact.
Set up for a chest tube.
Cross in time for 4 units.
- Hes a minor? - Yeah.
- Hes going to need surgery.
- Do whatever you need to do, Doc.
Youre his legal guardian? Hes my son.
Well, youve got a concussion and Im going to have to close that.
But youll be fine.
So, how much have you had to drink today? Paging Karen Roe.
Karen Roe to the nearest white courtesy phone.
This is Karen Roe.
