One Tree Hill s03e22 Episode Script

The Show Must Go On

At this moment, there are six billion, 502 million, 867, 120 people in the world, give or take a few.
And sometimes, all you need is one.
For better, or for worse.
Help me! - How long you been out here? - A couple hours.
Sometimes, I come out here when I can't sleep.
- You miss it? - Every day.
- So what's up? - I had this messed up dream last night.
Haley was drowning, and I couldn't save her.
Of course, leave it to Haley to insist that we don't see each other until the wedding, even though we're married.
Maybe I should just go see her.
I'll tell you what, I'll go check on her for you, how's that? Well, tell her to stay away from the water, okay? No swimming or anything.
Nathan, it's your wedding day.
Again.
- It's gonna be a great day.
- Thanks.
You're closer than 100 feet.
Just paying my respects.
You know, everyone thinks of Keith as this perfect guy, - but they're wrong.
- No, they're not, Dan.
Keith is a hero.
He tried to kill me.
That's right.
He's the one who tried to burn me in the dealership fire.
So I guess the hero got what was coming to him, after all.
Knock, knock! - Oh, hi.
- Hey.
- How is the bride-to-be? - Oh, good.
Good.
Well, I'm afraid you've missed the boys.
They were gone pretty early.
Oh, that's okay.
I wanted to see you, actually.
- I have a question for you.
- Okay.
I know you and Keith were engaged, and it breaks my heart.
- I know, I know.
- Sorry.
Okay, Brooke made me this dress, and it is out of the material that she ordered for your wedding dress, and I just wanted to ask you if it was okay if I wore it.
And if it's not, that's fine, she made another one that I can wear I'm so proud of you, Haley.
Have I told you that lately? You have got a wonderful soul, Haley James Scott, and you're gonna make a beautiful bride in that dress.
Thank you.
Hi.
- Where'd you sleep? - My car.
See, I had this horrible dream last night, that my best friend told me she had feelings for my boyfriend.
But that wasn't a dream, was it? - Brooke - Why now, Peyton? Why would you tell me you have feelings for Lucas, now? When I have so much going on in my life, stuff that you don't even know about! Well, so do I, okay? Trust me.
But I didn't wish for this, all right? I wished for Jake.
Oh, right.
You wished for Jake.
After you wished for Pete, and then Lucas.
I cannot believe this is happening again.
It's not, okay? It's not, it's just Okay, the last time The last time? Do you hear yourself right now? The last time you tried to steal my boyfriend? He's on the door, Peyton.
He's on the damn door under me! - I don't wanna steal him, okay? - But you like him.
Brooke, I'm not gonna do anything about it, okay? - I'll just bury it! - You can't.
Okay? It's out.
It's like the time capsule.
And you could've buried it and not said anything to me.
- So what is that about? - I don't know, all right? I just I wanted to be honest with you.
All right? I don't wanna make the same mistake I did last time.
And you know what? You even said last night at Tric, that you really didn't miss him! Don't you dare! Don't you dare twist my words around to make yourself feel like you are not a backstabbing, two-faced bitch, Peyton, because you are, and you know it.
- Hey, pretty girl.
- Hey.
- What's going on? - Nothing.
Come on.
Nobody loves a wedding more than Brooke Davis.
What's up? I'd just appreciate it if you wouldn't talk to Peyton today.
You're kidding, right? This is a wedding.
We're all in the same wedding party.
We're all friends here, Brooke.
You know, could you do me a favor, just once, and put me above your precious Peyton, and do something that I ask you to do? - Thanks.
- Whoa.
What happened? We had a fight.
And I'm stressed out about my speech, and Haley's dress, and I'm late.
I'm late to get ready, and I'm sorry.
Come here.
It's okay.
You look nice.
Weddings.
Rachel.
- You look almost as hot as me.
- Listen to me, you gotta stop calling me.
I told you we couldn't see each other anymore.
And before you left that morning, I think I made myself perfectly clear.
Yeah, but the night before that, you weren't so clear.
In fact, if I remember right, I think you weren't so clear three times.
- You're 17.
- Yeah.
And I was 17 that night, too.
And all the other nights.
Okay, listen to me.
I'm sorry.
Okay? I made a mistake.
But this is Nathan and Haley's day.
Now, I promise you we'll talk about this later, but do not make this ugly for them.
I wouldn't think of it.
Need a hand? No, I'm okay.
Thanks.
It's just a tie, Lucas.
Come on, let me see.
So, how's life without basketball? It's better than life without Keith.
Okay, let's see.
Dan thinks it was Keith.
The fire.
I just found out this morning.
I'm sorry, Karen.
It's not fair to Keith's memory.
It's not fair to you.
Yes, it's not fair to Keith.
But Dan's need for revenge was buried with his brother.
He's not gonna be coming after you, or anybody else.
Maybe so, but in a way, that makes me feel weaker than ever.
Nathan! - Nathan.
You okay? - Yeah.
- Have you checked on Haley? - Yeah.
She's fine.
'Cause she should be here by now.
Can you call her? - Nate - Please! - Just do it.
- Okay.
All right.
All right.
Hey.
Haley, you all right? - Something's wrong, man.
- Hey.
What's up? Hey, it's me.
Is everything okay? Fine, soon-to-be-husband-again.
Why? I just I just wanted to hear your voice, that's all.
- Where are you? - I'm right here.
Oh, I'm sorry, princess.
I was looking for my friend Haley.
Wow, did it really take all this stuff to make you look like this? No! Everybody got ready in here, including Rachel and Brooke, for some reason.
- Hi.
- All right.
- Wow.
You really look beautiful.
- Thank you.
So your parents really aren't coming? No, they I invited them, and they said, "Sorry, honey, we've been to your wedding once before, "and it was a little boring.
" Anyway, I'll just give myself away, that's fine.
Or I could do it.
If you'll have me.
- Really? Luke, that would be perfect.
- Okay.
Thank you.
But you know what, I gotta be honest with you.
I could never officially give you away, you know that? I could never give away my best friend.
Congrats.
Hey, Rachel.
You look almost as hot as me.
Sounds like something I would say.
- Hey, Peyton.
- Hi.
How about we go find you a good seat, friend? Hey, you.
So, I've been informed to avoid you like the plague.
- What's up? - Nothing.
Just Look, if Brooke doesn't want you to talk to me, just do it.
I'll be fine.
Hey, Peyton.
You look nice.
- Feeling sentimental, Deb? - Feeling nauseous, actually.
You had your chance.
Wanna make it a dual ceremony, Coop? Now I know how this dress looks on a witch.
Go Brooke yourself.
Friends and loved ones, we are gathered here today to witness the renewal of a commitment, a commitment between Nathan and Haley, to love one another unconditionally and endlessly.
Nathan and Haley, there are many things I could say to the two of you today, but instead I choose to listen to the words you have for each other.
Haley? Nathan, it's been said that there's one word that will free us from the weight and the pain of life, and that word is love.
And I believe that.
That doesn't mean that it hasn't been hard, or that it won't be, it just means that I've found a stillness and bravery in myself, with you.
You make me brave.
And I will love you until the end of time.
This I vow today.
Nathan? Last year we stood on a beach, and I told you how much I loved you and how I would always, always protect you.
That day, nobody believed that this would work.
But I don't think anybody understood the love that I had for you, because if they did, they would have never doubted us.
So, I wanted to marry you all over again, in front of most of our world, because today, when I look into your eyes, my love for you only grows.
It's even stronger now.
And our love will never waver.
This I vow to you, today, and always, and forever.
Haley, on this day, do you reconfirm and rededicate yourself to the vows you promised to uphold? Oh.
Thank you.
I do.
Nathan, on this day, do you rededicate and reconfirm your commitment - to the vows you promised to uphold? - I do.
And, actually, I have a new ring.
Thank you.
And now, before the eyes of God, I once again pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss your bride.
- I love you, Haley.
- I love you, too.
You know, one day we'll walk down the aisle again, Deb.
- You'll see.
- Open your eyes, Dan.
I don't love you, I'm not coming back to you, and Keith didn't try to kill you, I did.
Danny.
How's your life, little brother? I'm Cooper, by the way.
You're Michelle Featherstone, right? - Yes.
- That song you played was perfect.
- In fact, I think all your stuff's really great.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- I think all of your stuff is pretty great, too.
- Well, thank you.
Hey, Rach.
You gonna talk to me? Please? Fine.
So this is how it ends, a 10-year friendship that survived two dead moms, three absentee parents, shoplifting, jail time, - and we can't survive one boy? - Not "one boy," Peyton, my boy.
And he still is your boy.
I told you that.
Do you love him? You are something else.
How dare you be so selfish to ask me that about my boyfriend? How dare I? Okay, you know what, Brooke, I didn't want it this way.
Okay, I tried tears, all right? I tried apologizing to you.
I cried.
And you know what you did? You slapped me, and you blew me off.
Yeah, and you're gonna be lucky if next time I don't use my fist.
I can't believe you're supposed to be the maid of honor.
And by the way, none of those words were, "Yes, Peyton.
I love him.
" Ladies and gentlemen, please stand and join me in welcoming Nathan and Haley.
Husband and wife, again.
And now, the song they picked for their first dance.
What song did you pick, anyway? - Oh, I was hoping it would be this one.
- I had a little help.
So are you gonna tell me what this is about? - Maybe you should tell me about it.
- Well, what's that supposed to mean? Peyton told me some things about the two of you.
Look, Brooke, I know that you're worried about my past with Peyton, but you have to understand the circumstances this time, you know? I mean, God, she was bleeding, and she thought she was gonna die.
I mean, the kiss, it meant nothing.
What kiss? Did you kiss her again? Look, Brooke, I need you to listen to me.
Okay, I understand that you didn't know about the kiss, and I'm sorry for springing it on you, but I meant what I said.
It didn't mean anything.
A kiss always means something.
Okay, well, maybe you're right, but it wasn't a romantic moment.
- And you would know that if - lf what, I was there? As you so sweetly pointed out at the party, the party that I threw for you, I wasn't there, was I? Is it impossible for you to forgive me? - I forgave you.
- For what? For sleeping with Chris Keller.
And you know what, Lucas? I loved you for that.
You had such grace in that moment, that I fell in love with you all over again.
I can't believe that you would use it now as a bargaining chip.
No, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.
I just I need you to trust me, and believe me when I tell you that my heart is with you.
But a part of me feels like ever since we got back together, you've just been waiting, waiting to push me away.
Oh, great.
You kiss Peyton again, and I'm pushing you away! God, why did I make everybody identical purses as wedding gifts? I love you, Brooke.
- I don't know how else to say it.
- How about how you show it? I am not pushing you away, Lucas.
I am holding on for dear life, but I need you to need me back.
Okay, why wouldn't you tell me about the kiss? And why didn't you call me while you were away? And why won't you ever just let me all the way in? We have to go and give our toasts now, about love.
Please don't be mad, Brooke.
I'm not mad, Lucas.
I'm not mad.
The last time I gave a speech about Nathan and Haley was, well, at their first reception.
And I remember saying, "Prepare to be surprised.
" Well, I have to say, even I was surprised.
Because, you see, they do something that's very rare to see in someone our age.
Actually, it's very rare to see in anybody.
They give their hearts to each other, unconditionally.
And that's what true love really is.
It's not this fairy-tale life that never knows pain, but it's two souls facing it together, and diminishing it with unconditional love.
To Nathan and Haley Scott.
I'm not the most eloquent speaker, so I thought I would borrow a few words from Shakespeare.
"Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds.
" When life gets hard, when things change, true love remains the same.
I look at Nathan and Haley and somehow I feel safer.
I don't know if I can explain that, but they give me hope.
And I'm afraid to say it out loud, because maybe if life finds out, it'll try to beat it out of them.
And that would be a shame, because we all can use a little hope sometimes, you know? That feeling that everything is gonna be okay, and that there's gonna be someone there to help make sure of that.
So here's to Nathan and Haley.
Here's to hope.
And here's to a love that will not alter.
I never apologized for the way I treated you and Lucas, or for the way I treated Keith.
I suppose it's too late.
I'm pregnant.
I'm gonna be there for you this time, Karen.
It's gonna be okay.
Hi.
Excuse me, I'd like your attention for a second.
I'd like to propose a toast to my knucklehead of a nephew and his beautiful bride.
Here we go.
As most of you know, Nathan and Haley's relationship was unexpected, mostly because Haley is classy and attractive, and Nathan is not.
But here's to Nathan and Haley, for proving to us that love is real, and genuine, and still attainable for the rest of us.
Cheers, you two.
Thanks, Coop, I guess.
Love you, man.
Well, well.
I would like to make a toast to Cooper's toast, about love.
But wait a minute.
What could Nathan and Haley possibly know about love? I mean, they're only 17, right? Right, Cooper? You see, Cooper seems to think a 17-year-old couldn't possibly know anything about love.
Of course, you know, that didn't stop him from having sex with me, right? Rachel.
Yeah.
To sex with Cooper! - Is she serious? - I'm so sorry.
I'll be right back.
Excuse me.
Hey, Rachel, come on! Rachel! No, no, no! Hey, bad idea! Hey! Rachel, stop the car.
Damn it, Rachel, stop the car! You trying to kill me? What is your problem? First, you ruin the reception, you steal the limousine, and you drive drunk! - Are you out of your mind? - I must be, to fall in love with you! Look, I'm sorry, Rachel, okay? I made a mistake when we slept together, and it wasn't just because you're 17.
Hell, even when I thought you were older, I wasn't looking to get serious.
I'm sorry, I mean, that sounds harsh, but you even said, "We're just having fun, Coop.
" Remember? I lied.
I'm so stupid.
Hey, don't Don't do that.
- I thought you liked me.
- I did, Rachel.
I liked you.
Right.
"Liked.
" Look, let me take you home.
Okay? No.
I left all my stuff at the reception.
My purse, my keys That's fine.
That's great, you know what? We'll take the limousine back to the reception, and we'll pretend like none of this ever happened.
All right? Let's go.
So, there was a slight mix-up.
- Sweet.
I'm driving.
- No way! - Hey, we'll leave the car at the airport.
- All right.
We're going to London for a few days.
Why? Doesn't it always rain there? - Oh, yeah.
You in? - Yeah.
Thank you, guys, for coming.
We love you! Hey, buddy.
It looks like Rachel took the limo with Cooper.
- I'm sorry.
- Yeah.
Me, too.
I guess we never finished that conversation.
Dance with me.
- Didn't you miss me while you were away? - Every day.
I was just angry and upset about Keith, and I just needed to be alone, but that doesn't mean that I didn't miss you, Brooke, because I did.
I needed to hear your voice.
There's just so much stuff going on with me.
What kind of stuff? I just got that feeling, that stillness I used to feel before dawn, that feeling that the world could be perfect.
Yeah, I feel it, too.
Don't say I never gave you anything.
Then there were two.
Sorry about today, and all the drama.
Peyton? I accidentally told Brooke about the library, the kiss.
- Luke? - Hi.
Are you going home with Brooke, or with me? With you.
Brooke left.
I'm sorry.
- You and Brooke okay? - Yeah.
She's just going through some stuff.
Well, listen, could you grab my wrap and my purse? Yeah, sure.
I'll drive.
Hey, Ma? Are you pregnant? Yes, I am.
That's not my purse.
Oh, you know, maybe Brooke took the wrong Brooke? Brooke, don't go, please.
I don't want to, but I have to.
Okay, all right, look.
Just stop, all right? What do I have to do to fix this? Brooke, I'll do anything.
Just I don't want you to go.
You know, you asked me earlier today if I love Lucas, and I have your answer.
But you don't deserve to hear it.
- Brooke.
- No.
I want you to understand something.
As far as I'm concerned, this friendship is over.
And if we never speak again for the rest of our lives, that'll be fine.
I gave you a second chance, Peyton, and you blew it.
Is there anything I can say to keep you, Cooper? No, sorry, Rachel, there's not.
That's too bad, because there's something I have to tell you.
Oh, I left my purse! It's got everything in it, the plane tickets, everything.
We have to go back.
No, hold on, it's okay, I'll just have Lucas meet us.
Hey, Luke.
Hey, man, Haley left her purse and a bunch of stuff at the reception, - could you bring that to us? - It's in the anteroom.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
All right, well, we're coming up on the Molina Bridge right now, so, I guess we'll just pull over and wait for you.
All right.
Thanks, man.
Bye.
Done.
He already had the purse in his car.
- You're good in a crisis.
- I don't know about that.
No, you are.
Good thing, too, especially since I have something I have to tell you.
I don't believe you.
- Pull over.
- Hell, no.
I'm not letting you out until we talk about this.
- I said, pull over! - No! - We're gonna talk about this - I said, pull over! I'm not pulling the car What are you doing? Look out! - That was Cooper.
Cooper! - Cooper! - Haley, call 911.
- Nathan, don't.
I love you.
Nathan! Nathan! Nathan, don't! Nathan! Cooper! Anybody, please help! William Shakespeare wrote Nathan! "Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds" Help me! "it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests "and is never shaken" Oh, God, help me! - Haley! - Nathan! Cooper! "Love alters not with time's brief hours and weeks" Help! Somebody, please help! "But bears it out" Help me! "ev'n to the edge of doom.
