One Tree Hill s04e14 Episode Script

Previously on One Tree Hill.
This is the first draft of a novel I'm writing.
- Who knew? - No one.
I could pass calculus in my sleep.
You're the one flunking out.
And this is the key to the cabinet with the answers.
Got it.
My mom tried to kill herself.
I felt relieved, like maybe it was for the best.
Have you guys met Chase? He's our newest Clean Teen.
Virgins for life.
Hi.
Brooke Davis, Clean Teen.
I'm kind of afraid of being here with you.
- Why? - You're hot.
Open your eyes, Luke.
I saw Jimmy lying there on the floor dead, and Keith was standing above him.
Jimmy didn't kill Keith.
Lucas said something really unsettling today.
What'd he say? He said he doesn't think that Jimmy Edwards killed Keith.
Do you ever wonder if we make the moments in our lives, or if the moments in our lives make us? Give me five.
Give me five.
Four, five! Okay, watch.
Are you watching me? Okay, go ahead.
Nice shot.
- Can you say merry Christmas? - Merry Christmas.
It's amazing how fast they grow up, isn't it? Ouch.
Keith bought me that bike.
Hey, Mom, don't forget, I gotta get fitted for my tux today.
Right, the prom.
You come by the café, and we'll go take a look this afternoon.
All right.
How's he doing? I mean, with this notion about Keith not being taken by the Edwards kid? I think he just needs to believe in that somehow.
Let me take him shopping this afternoon for the tux.
I've missed enough important moments in his life.
I'd like to do something about that.
Please? Hey, Glenda.
Hi.
Oh, you remember Peyton, right? - Yeah, sure.
The loner.
- Loner cheerleader.
I really like the picture you took of Lucas.
The eye shadow was a little Fall Out Boy, though.
So, Lucas, that book that you loaned me? I'm just in chapter 10, but I'd love to talk to you about it.
Yeah.
Good.
No, anytime.
Okay.
Bye.
- What book? - Oh, I I loaned her a copy of The Great Gatsby.
She's never read it, can you believe that? I took her for more of an Edgar Allan Poe kind of girl.
- We should slow down.
- Feels like just the right speed to me.
Really, I have to go.
Saved by the bell.
Hey.
I gotta ask you something and I really don't want you to get pissed off, but I have to ask you.
Okay.
It's about the stolen test.
You were failing calculus and then you just got an A on the last test.
- Just tell me it's a coincidence.
- It was a coincidence.
- Seriously, Brooke? - Yeah.
I know I have to pass the class to graduate, and you were busy tutoring Rachel, so I just got help from Chase instead.
Really? Okay.
Sorry.
Principal Turner is just really pissed right now and he's on a major witch hunt.
You should probably know you're, like, the prime suspect.
It wasn't me.
Scouts honor.
Okay.
Sorry.
Why the long face? You know what today is.
No, but I'm sure you're about to enlighten me.
Come on.
You've got three weeks of sobriety.
It's the first day you can have visitors.
It's a good day.
After the way I've behaved, no one is coming for me.
Trust me.
Hey, don't be so sure.
Sometimes, people can surprise you.
Are you on drugs? You're not turning yourself in.
I just had to lie to Haley, Turner is closing in, and I am stewed.
Brooke, they don't have any proof.
There is no use to this.
I'm gonna turn myself in.
Fine.
Whatever.
Before you turn yourself in, you might want to take a look at this.
It came for you this morning.
Oh, my God.
Victoria's Secret wants to franchise Clothes Over Bro's for their Pink fashion line.
I'm gonna be in stores everywhere! Maybe not.
Look at paragraph 14.
So I like reading your mail.
It's a guilty pleasure.
The contract has a morality clause.
That means they want Student Council President Brooke Davis, not I-cheated-in-calculus Brooke Davis.
See, I don't think an expelled high-school student exactly fits the Victoria's Secret profile.
- Then what am I gonna do? - Nothing.
Brooke, trust me, there's nothing they can do to prove you cheated on the test.
As some of you may know, it has come to my attention that one of you cheated on the last exam.
So, today, we're all gonna take a little pop quiz.
And I assure you, when I discover who that cheater is, they will be dealt with in the harshest possible way.
Didn't see that one coming.
So, I was thinking we would get a limo for prom.
I talked to Brooke, and she and Chase want to share.
- Mouth, can I talk to you for a minute? - Yeah.
I don't think I can do this.
- What "this"? - Us.
I think maybe it's not such a good idea that we're dating.
It's about them, isn't it? The Clean Teens.
It's more complicated than that.
Well, explain it to me.
'Cause I'm pretty good with complicated.
I can't go out with you.
Okay, so we're not dating, but we're still going to prom, right? I don't think prom would be such a good idea either.
This was This was a mistake.
I'm sorry.
Maybe you passed the test this time.
I mean, stranger things have happened.
Like, Brooke Davis is dating a Clean Teen? Maybe.
I mean, it didn't feel that bad.
Oh, who am I kidding? There's no way I passed that test.
Brooke, this could be the chance that you need to start over.
Think about it.
If you passed this time, you did it all on your own.
Yeah, and if I didn't pass, I'm gonna get expelled from school, and my life, as I know it, is over.
Well, I believe in you.
Brooke Davis, please report to the principal's office immediately.
Well, okay, then.
Dead girl kissing.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
Nice fit for a rental.
- What are you, a 42 regular? - Yeah.
Not bad.
You know, the trick with formal wear is to always go classic.
You don't wanna be that guy looking back 20 years from now, regretting the blue ruffles.
Yeah, right.
- What'd you wear to prom? - Blue ruffles.
Hey, Lucas, I know it's been hard for you without Keith around.
And your mother told me what you said about Jimmy Edwards.
And I just want you to know that you may not be wrong in what you're thinking.
You don't think Jimmy killed Keith? Not exactly.
What I mean is, I know you and Jimmy were friends, and maybe you're right.
Maybe Jimmy didn't mean to kill Keith.
And maybe what happened in that hallway was a terrible accident.
But the truth is we'll never know.
So I need to ask you a favor, Lucas.
I need you to stop and consider your mother's feelings because, although she'll never admit it, all this talk is breaking her up on the inside.
So you gotta let it go, for her sake.
- How are we doing, gentlemen? - Fine, thanks.
We're gonna take this Armani.
I'm sorry, sir.
The Armani is only available for purchase.
I'm aware of that, slick.
We'll take the Armani.
You're buying me a tuxedo? Why? Every man should own his own tuxedo.
And every father should know what it feels like to buy one for his son.
Nathan.
Hi.
I wasn't sure you'd wanna see me.
Well, to be honest, I wasn't sure I was coming.
Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.
Suicide.
Nice one, Mom.
- And thanks for the note, by the way.
- Please, Nathan.
Don't.
You can't begin to understand this disease.
Disease? Is that what you're calling it now? Peyton's mom, Ellie, had a disease.
Cancer.
That's a disease, Mom.
What you have is a weakness.
And when the hell are you gonna start fighting it? I know.
I know I've been weak.
But I - I'm scared.
- Of what? Your terrible life in that big expensive house? 'Cause I'm not seeing it, Mom.
What are you so scared of? Myself.
It's easy in here.
I have a support team to stay sober.
But out there alone? I'm not sure I can trust myself.
Mom.
You better figure it out.
Because if things don't change soon, you're not gonna have anything to come home to.
Thanks.
It's pretty cool.
I think Peyton's really gonna love it.
You're welcome.
So, Peyton, huh? Yeah.
Well, have a good time, Senior State Champ.
It's a good time to be alive.
By the way, the State Championship, you didn't take your HCM medication, did you? - Why would you say that? - Because I take those pills, Lucas.
We have the same condition.
You can fool other people, but you can't fool me.
Well, it'll be our secret.
Just promise me you won't do anything that stupid again, okay? Your mom's already been through enough.
She needs you healthy and in one piece.
- Hey.
- Hey.
There you guys are.
What took you so long? Well, we decided to turn a rental into a purchase.
I know, I know, I should've cleared it with you first, but I couldn't help myself.
His idea.
Dan? We need to We need to talk about this.
- Talk about what? - You and him.
And all of this.
Everything.
Okay.
How about dinner? I'll pick you up around 7:00.
- That sounds like a date.
- No.
No date.
Just dinner.
Miss Davis.
It's about your calculus exam.
It seems I owe you an apology.
I passed the test! Turner just apologized.
I guess all my studying paid off.
- How cool is that? - Congratulations.
Now you're free to be Victoria Secret's next big thing.
You know it! Okay, you are good with all this legal mumbo jumbo, so what do I do next? It seems pretty basic.
In addition to your designs, you just have to turn over the artwork and you're good to go.
Artwork? Hey, Principal Turner, you wanted to see me? Yes.
Please have a seat, Haley.
We've discovered who stole the calculus exam and unfortunately, it's someone you know.
Rachel Gatina.
- It's not Are you sure it's Rachel? - I've spoken to Miss Gatina.
I'm quite sure.
Haley, you were tutoring her, and access to that test was under your direct supervision.
I know.
I didn't give her the test I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I have no choice but to ask you to resign your position at the Tutor Center, effective immediately.
- No, look, Principal Turner, listen - My decision is final.
And I'll need your key.
I'm sorry it came to this, Haley.
Word of advice.
I might take a good look at who your real friends are.
- What do you mean you got fired? - It was Rachel.
I was right about her all along.
She was the one that stole the exam, and because I was tutoring her, they let me go.
- Bitch.
- But you had nothing to do with it.
- Didn't you just tell Principal Turner? - Yeah, I did.
I told him and he said it's school policy.
It just really sucks.
I loved tutoring and we really needed that extra money.
I'm so sorry, Haley.
I know I went to bat for her.
I knew it.
I knew I was right about her.
I'm sorry.
Look, it's not your fault.
I know you were just trying to help her.
Just trying to be a good guy.
It's what I love about you.
I don't feel like such a good guy right now.
Why? I went to see my mom this morning, and I think I was kind of hard on her.
Babe, if anybody is in need of tough love, it's your mom.
I know, but She's gonna be released in a few days and she told me that she's scared to be alone in the house.
She's gonna slip, Haley.
I can feel it.
Well Well, why don't we do something about it? - Like what? - I don't know.
We need to save money.
She needs help.
We could let the apartment go and move into her house.
Yeah, look, it'd be perfect.
We'd save a ton of money and we'd be there to watch her 24-7, and everybody wins.
And Peyton thinks I'm a martyr? Come on, she's You know, she's your family.
She's a train wreck, but she's your mom.
- And you'd do that for her? - No.
But I'd do that for you.
Okay.
My mom gets home in a few days, and I need this house to be completely drug and alcohol free.
Let's fan out.
Dude, it's just Nathan's mom.
I mean, how much booze could we possibly be talking about? Damn, Nate mom like the alcoholic Easter Bunny.
- Are we really gonna dump it all? - Hold on a second.
It's Friday, prom's tomorrow night, we got a ton of booze, a huge house, and we just won the State Championship.
I like the way you think, dog.
Hey, you know, with a crib like this, a brother could definitely get hooked up.
Especially if he got him a new shorty with some hot leather pants.
You feeling me, Mouth? Yeah, but, I don't think she is.
What you working on? Look, I gotta be honest.
Today, I kind of lied to you.
The book that I gave Glenda wasn't the Gatsby.
It's one I've been writing.
And I needed an impartial opinion, so I gave it to her.
I know there's no tenth chapter in Gatsby, but thank you for telling me the truth.
I'm sorry, I guess I'm just worried it's not gonna be good.
Well, what about me? I'm I can be impartial.
- I don't think so.
- Why? Because you're in it.
Give me that book right now.
- No way.
- Please? It's not ready.
Pretty please with me on top? Well, I can be persuaded.
Okay.
No.
Okay, stop, stop, stop.
I don't think so.
Oh, come on.
I'll let you read the first six chapters of my book.
That's very sexy, but I just want our first time to be special.
And right now it's really not with a National CD wedged underneath my back.
Which is a very good album, by the way.
I'm sure your mom's gonna come in any second.
She's working at the café, and nobody's gonna walk in.
Okay, my discomfort meter is pretty much peaked.
Hi.
Sorry.
- Luke, can I talk to Peyton for a sec? - Sure.
Just, you know, if you guys get into it, try not to break anything expensive.
For the record, I didn't come here to fight.
Victoria's Secret has offered to franchise Clothes Over Bro's, so it's a really big, huge deal for me, but I can't move forward with it unless you're willing to sign off on your artwork, so I just need to know what you need for me to make this work.
You have a pen? What are you doing? I'm signing over the artwork to you.
They were just sketches, Brooke.
You're the one that turned them into Clothes Over Bro's.
Congratulations, Brooke.
Are you sure you're comfortable with this? Sure.
I'm happy for you.
You know I love him.
I really do.
But I never meant for my love for him to hurt you.
Thank you, Peyton.
Nathan, what is going on? Well, we never really got a chance to celebrate winning State, and I figured with everything that's been going on lately, it might be nice to kick off prom and have a little - Party! - Party! Oh, wait, don't look now, Mouth, but Shelly all up in here right now.
- Where? - 12:00 and closing fast.
Okay, on the count of three, we are out of here.
- Ready? - Three.
So, this is how it's gonna be? You're just gonna ignore me? Let me guess, you're here to tell me you just wanna be friends.
I get it, Shelly.
You're not attracted to me.
It's not that.
It is just the opposite.
It's because I am attracted to you, Mouth.
I'm just not sure I trust myself to be with you.
Let me get this straight.
You broke up with me the day before prom because you're so attracted to me? Okay, I think I really need a drink.
Dan, this feels like a date.
Let's just call it the mayor and almost-mayor having dinner.
Karen, I wanna start being a bigger part of Lucas' life.
He needs a father and I I wanna be that father to him, regardless of what's happening between us.
I'm pregnant with your brother's child.
There's nothing happening between us.
You're also alone.
And if you need anything, and I mean anything at all, I wanna be the man that you turn to.
Luke, you gotta help me find some booze, man.
It's gonna get ugly down there.
You gotta let this go, man.
Keith's gone, Luke.
Jimmy's gone.
Nothing's gonna bring them back.
But you got a ton of people that love you out there.
And in a few months, most of those people are gonna go their separate ways.
So what do you say, big brother? Let's have some fun.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Oh, hey, I just wanted to say congratulations on your calculus test.
Turner told me.
I am really sorry about this morning.
I should never have doubted you.
I never doubted her for a second.
You should be really proud of yourself, Brooke.
Well, as tempting as it was to be a senior for another year, I figured it was probably time for me to graduate.
- Have you guys seen Rachel? - She was holding court in the living room.
- Clothed or unclothed? - Clothed.
But it was about 10 minutes ago, so you never know.
So, have you written the chapter where you take your girlfriend up to that empty bedroom at the party? Well, I think I may need to do a little research first.
I was hoping you'd say that.
Thank you, thank you.
Tip your waitresses.
Or me.
- So, how did you do it, Rach? - Do what? Don't throw dumb-ass at me, girly.
You stole that test, and I wanna know how you did it.
You steal my key while I was in the hospital? Yeah, I bet you did, didn't you? You know, I could have spent my time tutoring someone that actually needed it? And now I'm not gonna have that opportunity again thanks to you.
- Whatever.
- So That is for getting me fired! And that is for trying to sleep with my husband.
Bitch, you are lucky you're pregnant.
Honey, you're lucky that I'm pregnant.
I think it's time you get your insecure, cheating, skank ass out of this house right now! - You - Yo, ma, I think it's time for you to leave.
Told you I had the kid's back.
Rachel, wait.
What the hell was that? What did you do to piss off Haley? It was the exam.
Haley found out I stole it, and they fired her.
Guess I didn't see that one coming either.
But how? We both passed the re-test.
Not exactly, Copernicus.
Only one of us did.
But why would you do that? Victoria's Secret, Brooke.
The morals clause.
Besides, I figured I got you into this, so I wanted to get you out.
You're my friend, Brooke.
What are they gonna do to you now? Who knows? We'll see.
Brooke, it's okay.
I'll be fine.
I'm gonna take off.
Go back in and hang with Chase.
Catch up with you at home.
Rachel, thank you.
Haley, I heard you were fighting Rachel.
You punched her? It was more of a bitch-slap.
Yeah, that was after she threw the drink on her.
I'm okay.
Don't worry about me, I feel fine What? What is it? Are you okay? Yeah, the baby's just really kicking.
- It's kicking? - Oh, yeah.
I can feel it.
- That's our boy! - Yeah.
Wow.
Mouth.
- Are you okay? - No.
I know it's my fault.
I'm sorry.
It's just hard, you know? I look at you and it hurts so much to know that we can't be together.
- Mouth - I know you're a Clean Teen, Shelly, but what do you want me to say? That I don't wanna sleep with you? That I don't want my first time to be with you? Well, I can't say that 'cause that would be a lie.
From the moment I saw you, I was hooked.
And then I got to look into those beautiful eyes and kiss you.
And now that's all I wanna do.
I could kiss you forever.
- And I know I'm not good enough.
- No.
So, is this where tomorrow night's prom queen is hanging out? What's up? I'm just worried about Rachel.
That's my girl.
There's a raging party going on and you're worried about a friend? You're a good person, Brooke Davis.
You think so? I've done some things I'm really not proud of.
You're a good person.
- You sure? - I'm sure.
Does that mean you wanna kiss me some more? Old-school Nathan in the house! Scott.
Nathan Scott.
That's my baby.
Oh, snap! I thought you and Nathan were married.
Shelly, are you okay? - I mean Was that okay? - Yeah, I I just gotta find my shirt.
Oh, my bad.
Nice work, though.
Shelly? Hey, hey, don't cry.
Skills won't tell anyone.
I promise.
You don't understand.
I gotta go.
But tonight, this, I mean, this was the start of something really good.
This was the start of us.
- Can't you feel that? - I'm a Clean Teen.
I'm the Clean Teen.
I could love you.
I know I could.
But I can't.
Then what was this? This was goodbye.
Shelly, please don't go.
Mouth, don't call me.
If you really like me, just let me go.
Thanks for a great evening.
Oh, and thanks for letting Lucas keep the tux.
Oh, well, I had him try it on.
It looks good on him.
It's better than those blue ruffles.
You know, I'm chaperoning at the prom.
They still need a couple of parents.
You're asking me to the prom? Yeah, I guess I am.
Okay.
I thought you said you wanted to wait.
Do you remember what you said the last time we were here? You said you wanted it all, and I walked away.
I made a big mistake that night 'cause all I wanted was sex.
And what do you want now? Now I want what you wanted.
I want everything with you.
There he is.
Big night, dog.
Big night.
So, how you feel? Well, I lost my virginity, my prom date, and a girl I really could've loved.
All in one night.
Tell you the truth, Skills, I never felt worse.
- Where's the new boyfriend? - Taking a break.
When all you do is kiss, you gotta come up for air once in a while.
Well, he seems like a really good guy, Chase.
Yeah, he is.
I really like him.
Good.
Listen, I'm really sorry about Haley and the whole Tutor Center thing.
Don't be sorry.
It's not like it was your fault.
Yeah.
So, how come you're not in there, enjoying your big party? Well, Skills broke out the old Ravens game footage.
I swear, when I watch it, it doesn't even feel like me.
I should hope not.
You were such a jerk.
You were dating Peyton and you guys fought all the time Hey, look who's talking? Are you ever gonna let Peyton off the mat? Yeah.
I guess it's about time, isn't it? Yeah, actually, it is.
- Don't move.
- Why? Nathan, what What's going on? The sprinklers.
What? You think you're funny? You are so dead! Oh, I got you.
I got you, I got you! If you could go back and change just one thing about your life, would you? And if you did, would that change make your life better? Or would that change ultimately break your heart? Or break the heart of another? Would you choose an entirely different path? Or would you change just one thing.
Just one moment.
One moment that you always wanted back? Done.
Oh, my God.
Is that Nathan? - Is that Haley? - I think it's Peyton.
- What's going on out there? - I don't know.
Dude, you gotta see this! There's a tape of Peyton having sex with Nathan.
Oh, my God! Shut it off! Shut it off! Come on, I can't believe I'm doing this.
I would die if anybody saw this, Nathan.
Don't worry, nobody will ever know.
