One Tree Hill s06e15 Episode Script

Previously on One Tree Hill: So about the director.
What do you want? A director that understands the characters.
That's what this movie's really about.
- Let's go.
- Scott.
Take a seat.
Get comfortable, 15.
Get real comfortable.
- Hey, is Peyton around? - No.
You wouldn't know how to make a Long Island Iced Tea? So when's this thing with you and Brooke gonna happen? - Brooke and I are working together.
- I think you like her.
- Do not.
- Do too.
This has to be business, right? I mean, with Peyton and - This should be business.
- We can't - I mean, I kiss you and then it gets - Definitely, it would be It would be.
Yes.
This is Charleston Chiefs basketball and we've got a close one.
The Chiefs trail by one with 10 seconds left on the clock.
Okay.
This is it.
Last play.
We're gonna go four out, swing rattle.
Spread the defense, and isolate 23 at the top of the key.
Devon, you're gonna break down your man.
If you get doubled up, you hit Rhodes cutting under the basket.
I got this.
All right.
Here we go.
Everybody knows where they're to be.
Chiefs on three.
- One, two, three.
Chiefs! You know where you're supposed to be, 12? Let's go.
Let's go, baby.
I got this.
What? Oh, come on.
Let's go, guys.
Bring it home.
Here we go.
Ten seconds left.
Chiefs down by one.
Ten seconds left.
Chiefs got the ball inbound to Rhodes.
Top of the key.
He gets it to Devon Fox.
Fox with the hot hands tonight.
He's got 33 points.
He's the guy you want with the ball.
Moving left.
He's double-teamed up there.
Four seconds left.
Rhodes is free underneath.
But Fox shoots the ball instead.
It's nothing but air.
It's no good.
And the Chiefs lose a heartbreaker.
Now, who saw me throw down that windmill in the third quarter? Huh? It was sick.
Somebody better put that on a poster.
That's all I'm saying.
You do realize we lost the game? No, you lost.
I had 33 points.
It's funny, last time I checked it's a team sport.
You don't get it.
See, the NBA only scouts players who put up big numbers.
Tonight, I did that.
So I won.
And your ass is only here to keep the bench warm.
- Is that right? - Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
Is there a problem here? No problem.
Just reminding your boy here whose team this is.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Yeah.
Whoo! It's Devon Fox house.
You know, there's this amazing invention called the dishwasher.
Yeah, it's called me.
I've been doing it since I was, what? Jamie's age? Besides, it helps me think.
All right.
So besides having a pregnant fiancée what's going on inside that head? - It's the movie.
You know, Julian and I have met with five directors.
Turned them all down.
Tomorrow we're meeting with the sixth.
Oh, yeah, and Julian's dad is coming in town tomorrow.
Apparently he's not happy with how selective I've been.
Okay.
Then maybe director number six will be the one you've been waiting for.
Well, they say he is a visionary.
- That's a good thing, right? - Yeah.
Unless his vision is different than mine.
Well, this is the first five-game losing streak in my career.
I think I like winning better.
You didn't lose, Daddy.
Those losers did.
Whoa.
Somebody's a little fired up.
Yeah, you should've seen him You know what, Jamie? I wear that uniform, just like they do.
So it doesn't matter if I'm playing or not.
It's still my team.
We win as a team and we lose as a team.
- Remember that.
Okay? - Okay.
All right.
You okay? I am now.
Good.
Let's get you home.
This is so wrong.
But it's so right.
What am I gonna tell Peyton? I can't be on the couch kissing you.
Well, okay.
Then maybe we should just continue this in your bedroom.
Preferably without our clothes.
We can't.
I gave Sam a strict "no boys in the bedroom" policy and I can't be one of those hypocrite moms.
Hasn't Sam already broken that rule, like, five times? Once.
Then that means you're allowed to break it once.
- It's only fair.
Right? - No.
That grin should be illegal.
This is bad.
But it's good.
Oh! Oh.
Okay.
Well, just so I'm clear on these newly amended rules.
I'm not allowed boys in the bedroom but It's okay if I fool around with them out here on the couch.
Is that correct? You should repeal the "no boys in the bedroom" rule.
- You stay out of this.
- I'm with Julian.
- You're killing me, Sam.
- I know.
I'll have my headphones on tonight.
Just in case.
Good night.
Oh, my God.
- It's not funny.
- Okay, okay.
Maybe we should just continue this in your bedroom.
- Preferably - Without our clothes.
- Yeah.
- Right.
Should I be following you? I'll just let myself out.
Tell me what you see.
Where is the soul hidden within this image? - I don't know what that means.
- I think he's talking to himself.
I'm just curious, but what the hell are we doing in a junkyard? There.
That's Lucas' house.
- It's perfect.
No, no, it's I didn't grow up here.
You know, I actually had a pretty normal house.
Boring.
There's no drama in normal.
I'm going for 8 Mile here and I want gritty.
I'm thinking the entire movie should be shot with a hand-held camera.
Look, Pete.
We wanna keep in mind this is a true story.
You know, it's okay to have a vision.
We love that.
We just don't wanna rewrite history here.
This is the only place I can see our climactic scene happening.
This is the spot where Lucas' rival gang kills his Uncle Keith in a drive-by shooting.
Okay, I'm done here.
So, doc, tell me the truth.
What are the chances of another heart becoming available? Same as they were before.
Not great.
- Well, that's comforting.
- Don't give up hope.
Just remember, with those odds the last time we were able to find you a heart.
- It ended up going to someone else.
Yes.
It saved a man's life.
Well, we could just ask for it back.
Tell him we had dibs.
- I'm afraid not.
- Didn't think so.
I said, "Shut up!" Just do yourself a favor.
- This time when it goes off, call us.
- Okay.
I'll try to avoid being kidnapped by some crazy bitch.
All you can do now is wait.
Devon makes that pass, we win the game.
Maybe.
Okay, I wanted to talk to you about playing time.
You've been here five minutes.
You're still learning the offense.
- Not to mention a new position.
- I know.
If the team were winning, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
You play the same position as the best player.
- Devon scored 33 points last night.
- And he had one assist and that was off of an air ball they called a pass.
The job of the point guard is to get the team involved.
So unless he learns to pass the ball, this team's gonna keep losing.
I've seen it before.
You know what you sounded like just then? A coach.
But you turned down that job.
Remember? Just gonna have to wait your turn, Nate.
Here.
Take this.
It has some of our offensive sets.
Let's see how they sink in, then maybe we'll talk about playing time.
My number's in there if you have any questions.
Yeah.
Thanks, coach.
- Is that a new hat? - Yeah.
Why? - No reason.
- Am I not pulling it off? I mean No, it's fine.
No, if it was fine, you wouldn't have mentioned it.
It would just blend in.
Okay, let's hear it.
What was wrong with this director? Too short? Too tall? Too idiot.
- This is getting old, Lucas.
- No, dad, Lucas is right.
This guy was not a good fit.
You've been calling me Paul since you were 15.
Don't start with the dad crap.
All right, look.
These directors you've sent us they are all extremely talented.
They are.
They're just not what we're looking for.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
It's time for me to step in.
I've sent you six directors.
Any one of them could make this movie.
So it's real simple.
Pick one.
I don't care which one it is.
Because if you don't, then I'm gonna take that stupid hat off of Julian's head.
I'm gonna put all six choices inside it.
I'm gonna reach in and choose your director for you.
Now, if you don't like that idea you have until tomorrow to decide for yourself.
Understood? I'm still trying to figure out how I ended up with such a talented wife.
- You just got lucky.
- No, getting lucky is how I got a son.
How did it go with the coach? It looks like I won't be playing anytime soon.
- I'm sorry, Nate.
- It's okay.
You and Jamie should skip the next few games.
- I don't wanna let him down.
- Let him down? You're his hero.
Exactly.
It can't be easy to watch your hero sit the bench.
Baby, we go to those games to support you, whether you play or not.
And besides, I think it's important for our son to see you not giving up.
- Maybe you're right.
- I am.
Besides, we're a team, right? We win together and we lose together.
Right.
Where did you disappear to last night? I was waiting for you in my bed.
- That's not funny.
- Yes, it is.
Check it out.
For the movie.
What do you think? - Very authentic.
- Well, not yet.
I have to age them down a little, put some patches on but I've had some experience with letterman jackets.
I'm sure you have.
Like you didn't have all the girls in your high school begging to wear yours.
I didn't play sports in high school.
I never had a letterman jacket.
Really? Well, now you do.
- Did you make this for me? - Yep.
And look at that.
You lettered all four years in football.
Not bad for someone who never played sports.
- Thanks, Brooke.
- You're welcome.
- I'll see you later.
- Okay.
Hi.
See you, Peyton.
- Really, Brooke? - What? - You two are totally having sex.
- No, we're not.
You so are.
I can sense it.
Well, then your senses are off, because we are not having sex.
And how much would you hate me if we were? No, I wouldn't hate you.
I mean, I know how he is.
He's smart and charming.
He gets into a lot of beds with that scoundrel grin of his.
Yeah, I know that grin.
All right, well, there's something else you should know.
The weekend that he broke up with me he just jumped into bed with somebody else.
Okay, he flew off to Sundance, slept with some actress before I could wipe away the tears, you know.
It was in all the tabloids.
And that's when I realized what a bad guy he is.
You know, I just couldn't figure it out until then.
So I want you to be careful.
All right? Because the second this movie's over he's gonna be off to another movie with a new conquest.
And before you know it that charming guy with the sweet grin disappears.
That's just who he is.
I'm coming.
What are you doing? Haley, will you marry me? That is so creepy on so many levels.
Yeah, well, that's how that crazy director in L.
A wanted to end the movie.
- Seriously? - Yeah.
Do you think Peyton will like it? Wow.
Uh I don't know, Luke.
Girls usually hate getting big diamonds.
I think she'll love it.
It's just I always pictured you giving her Keith's ring.
It meant so much to you.
I mean, the truth is, I always hoped she would wear that ring too.
So why did you buy this one? Well, because I gave Keith's ring to Lindsey.
She gave it back to you.
Yeah, I just wasn't sure if she'd want it after that.
So I figured I couldn't go wrong with a new ring.
All right.
Oh, Luke, it's stuck.
Well, I guess I'll just have to keep it now.
Sorry.
Huh? - Did you forget something? - No, I just couldn't stay away.
- Is everything okay? - Yes.
No.
I don't know.
Which is it? Yes, no, or I don't know? I don't know.
Look, the last thing that I want to do is make it awkward between us but I need to know something.
Is this going anywhere? The conversation? I have no idea.
I'm completely lost.
I'm being serious, Julian.
This.
You and me.
What are we doing? I don't know, we're hanging out.
We're having fun.
Right.
That's pretty much what I expected your answer to be.
- What's wrong with having fun? - Nothing.
In the past, I would've been fine with a fling.
And I'm sorry that you missed out on that version of me.
But my situation has changed.
I'm really trying to set a good example for Sam and I just don't know how to explain "just having fun" to her.
So this is about Sam? - Sam.
Me.
- Peyton.
Does it really matter? I mean, we both know you're gonna leave when the movie's over.
There it is.
Okay.
Well, maybe we should just slow it down.
Focus on the movie.
And by slow down, you mean slam on the brakes.
Brooke, it sounds like you slammed on the brakes before I came in here.
But, you know what? It's okay.
Whatever you want it to be.
What's that, Grandpa? That's the thing that makes noise when it's time for me to get better.
When is it supposed to make the noise? - I wish I knew.
- Me too.
So tell me.
How's your dad? He finally made a team but he never gets to play.
The team's not very good.
They always lose.
Well, that's okay.
He always rises to the top, you know.
It's not just about X's and O's.
It's about heart.
And your dad has plenty of that.
So don't worry.
Do you hear that? I think it made a sound.
Not just yet, buddy.
But when it does, you'll be the first to know.
- Eat your ice cream.
- Okay.
- I wanna play a song for you.
- Cool.
Let's hear it.
But this is good too.
All right.
I'm gonna go sit over there.
In a second.
Go play me your song, goof.
Okay.
- So I'm a little nervous.
- I thought you did this for a living.
Yeah.
But this is different.
No one's ever heard this before.
- So I'm gonna be your first? - We'll see.
So remember when were talking the other night about flying over a city and how things look different from a distance.
You kind of inspired me to write this so promise you'll lie and say you love it if you hate it.
I can do that.
I can be a good liar for you.
Well, hopefully you won't have to be.
- We're stopping.
Why are we stopping? - Look where we are.
Luke, it's our spot.
- We haven't been here in years.
- I have.
When you were in L.
A.
, I used to come here sometimes.
You know, we're using this as a location in the movie.
Pretty good moment in our relationship.
It was the beginning.
You were so cute in your little tow truck.
Yeah, and you were so mean to me, remember? "First of all, you don't know me.
" "Second of all, you don't know me.
" - In my defense, you didn't know me.
- Oh, yes, I did.
I always knew you.
I have something for you.
Now, we're already engaged so I don't know if I'm supposed to get down on one knee, but Oh, my God.
Is that for me? Yes.
Do you like it? Are you kidding? It's beautiful.
I am so glad you always knew me.
Wow.
It's good thing to see you haven't lost your shooting touch.
So I heard your team's lost five straight.
I know how that feels.
Actually, I don't.
- Did you come here just to rub it in? - No.
I came to tell you that losing has its advantages.
Here we go.
Some classic Dan Scott advice that doesn't apply to normal people.
I'm all ears.
What do you got for me? Losing always forces change, Nathan.
Your time's coming.
I don't know about that.
The best guy on the team plays in front of me.
Oh, you know what I call the best player on a losing team.
- A loser.
- Bingo.
A loser.
Now you're playing on his team, but soon, he's gonna be playing on yours.
I'm not so sure about that.
You're gonna get your chance, Nathan.
We both know that.
The thing is, when you do, will you be ready? Will you make the most of it? You see this? This thing's gonna decide whether or not I get a second chance and I promise you if I do, I'm gonna make the most of it.
But right now, all you can do is wait.
Can I help you? - Paul, hi! - Hey.
Oh, God, I was hoping I was gonna see you while you were in town.
- Your assistant let me in.
- Assistant? - Mia.
Cute little brunette.
- Oh, God, no.
That's not my assistant.
That is just an overly trusting recording artist.
Good thing you're not a serial killer.
- We actually have those in Tree Hill.
- I heard.
So look at you.
You've become this big success.
Most importantly, you look happy.
I'm kind of having a good day.
Not bad.
Lucas has good taste in jewelry and fiancées.
His taste in directors, however, is still in question.
- I'm staying way out of that argument.
- That's probably a good idea.
It's good to see you, Peyton.
How long has it been? I mean, it was before Sundance.
God, that was hard to forget.
I spent that whole weekend crying.
You know, my son has made a few mistakes in his life but letting you get away easily tops the list.
The breakup was not hard on Julian.
He was fine.
I remember reading about him and that A-list actress of his that weekend in Sundance.
You can't believe everything you read in Hollywood.
You know that.
Paul, are you covering for him? Actually, no, because I planted that story.
I was trying to promote a movie.
Julian didn't even go to Sundance.
He skipped his own movie premiere, he was so heartbroken.
To be honest, I'm not sure he's ever fully recovered.
Nice digs you got here.
Do you really think one of these guys can make this movie? They can all make the movie.
The question is: Which one of them will screw it up the least? So that's our goal here? Find the best of the worst, huh? That is the plan, yes.
Fair enough.
So who's your first choice? Hear me out.
You're gonna think I'm a little crazy but I gotta go with the British director.
The guy made an incest movie with sock puppets.
Yeah, but you gotta admit, it had a certain style.
Tell me you wouldn't wanna see a little sock puppet Lucas.
Come on, admit it.
- What're you doing, Daddy? - Just a little homework.
- There's homework in basketball? - Sure there is.
When I get on the court, I wanna be ready, right? Do you think you're ever gonna play? I hope so.
It's up to the coach, though.
- Is he mean? - No, he's not mean.
He's just doing what he thinks is best for the team.
You know what? I have an idea.
Why don't you help me learn some plays? I could use your help.
- Really? Okay.
I'll help.
- Awesome.
Come here.
All right, see this play? It's called a four-out swing rattle.
It's when four players You can't play until the coach wants you to? Yeah.
I just have to wait until then.
All right, so this play, I'm just gonna come down here and dribble this way.
Hey, I want one of those.
Well, I will make you one, but you are just gonna have to wait.
Well, Julian didn't have to wait.
Is that what he told you? That I didn't make him wait? No, I came to that conclusion when he showed me his new jacket.
Oh, right.
Brooke are you and Julian? - No.
Not at all.
Okay, up until today, we were having fun.
His words, not mine.
But it ended before it started.
- He didn't tell you? - No.
Since I don't really like Julian we keep our conversations strictly about the movie.
Right.
How is that going? Oh, well, the director I met today wanted to make Lucas a gang member and have him living in a junkyard.
Yeah.
Sounds gritty.
Oh, but he did wanna put Brooke in a mansion in Charlotte.
Now, that is a movie I would go see.
Luke, you don't have to compromise.
Not if you don't want to.
The worst thing that could happen is for this movie to fail because they went with someone else's vision.
What do I do, Brooke? Do whatever it takes.
Just make sure they tell the story the way you remember it.
Come in.
- Mama, I need to use the phone.
Okay, but who are you calling, little man? - Guess what I'm holding? - It looks like a CD.
Oh, it is, but what's on it? - Barry Manilow? - It's Mia's new song.
- Since when does Mia have a new song? - Since now.
It's great.
- Give it.
- Hi, this is Jamie Scott.
We need to talk.
- I see Lucas gave you the ring.
- Wait, you knew about it? Yeah.
He proposed to me with it first, but I just had to turn him down.
Oh, lucky me.
Well, it's definitely beautiful.
You don't sound very convincing.
No.
I love it.
I do.
I just always envisioned wearing Keith's ring.
I'm gonna tell you something.
Swear you did not hear it from me.
I promise.
Lucas really wanted to give you Keith's ring.
He just thought you wouldn't want it since he already gave it to Lindsey.
So you see, it's not all about X's and O's.
It's about heart.
I just think you should really think about that.
I will.
You have a good night, Jamie.
- I thought we agreed on the Brit.
- Yeah, well, I changed my mind.
Well, Paul wants an answer today.
- He'll get one.
- Well, what are we gonna tell him? I haven't exactly figured that out yet.
When you do, you think maybe you can give me a heads up? I'm only the producer of the movie.
Who's this? - You've got to be kidding me.
- Lucas Scott, you son of a bitch! - Thanks, Argyle.
Hang tight.
- My name is Jason.
- Rent Die Hard.
It'll change your life.
- What are you doing here? My agent tells me you guys are still having some trouble finding a director.
I thought maybe I would come by and give you two dorks another chance.
I have a surprise for you.
Voilà.
Think I perfected the Long Island Iced Tea.
That took a little longer than it should've.
- Just saying.
- Promise me one thing.
Even if you hate it, you'll lie and say you love it.
Okay.
It's good.
Not great.
I'm just kidding.
I love it.
But I'm also underage, and before I get you arrested I think you should probably get back to the bar.
Right after I kiss you again.
I think you've perfected that too.
Okay.
I know what you guys are thinking.
You're thinking about fast food, beer and getting laid.
- That's what I was thinking.
- It's like he read my mind.
I respect that, I do.
I respect that.
But you guys are also thinking about your movie.
I didn't fly out here just so I could nail some flight attendant on the plane even though I did that.
- How did she look? Solid six, but that's not important.
What's important is why I should be directing this film.
Now, Lucas, you wrote a good script, but that's not enough.
What you two need is a director someone who take your vision and translate it onto the big screen, baby.
A director who knows when a scene isn't working.
A director who could adapt to any situation.
Gentlemen, that's what I do.
It's what I know.
Bottom line: The three of us are gonna get more ass than a toilet seat in Yankee Stadium.
Look, are you finished? - Depends if I have the job or not.
- Okay let me tell you why you're not gonna direct this movie: Because you can't identify with this world.
I mean, I want a director who can recreate the feeling that I get every time I step out onto the river court at night.
I want someone who can explain to the audience why one song can instantly change Peyton's mood.
Someone who can recognize that there are two sides to Brooke Davis, both of which are amazing.
I want a director who can make the little things the big things and you're just not the guy to do that.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- I suck.
- True, but why this time? Okay, all that stuff that I told you about Julian I just found out that some of my facts were not entirely accurate.
Like, which facts? Pretty much all of them.
He didn't sleep with some other girl the weekend we broke up.
In fact, he missed his own movie premiere.
So it seems there is a possibility that Julian really is the nice guy I thought he was after all.
Well, thank you for that, but none of that changes the fact that you and I have been through too much for me to violate the girl code now.
- Oh, my God.
Brooke, girl code? I'm engaged to your ex-boyfriend.
You are so exempt from the girl code it's not even funny.
Hey, Devon.
You got a second? If you want an autograph, 12, wait till after the game.
You're going heads-up with Alex Beck.
He's a good defender.
Quick hands.
Man, I'm gonna eat that fool up.
I hope so, but he's leading the league in steals.
Look, you usually go right off the dribble.
He's gonna be ready for that.
Are you giving me tips? I'm trying to give you an advantage.
Man, I already got an advantage.
It's called my God-given talent so go sit on the bench and enjoy the show.
Okay, you do your thing.
After he picks your pocket a few times, you might wanna switch to your left.
So who's the lucky one, Lucas? Well I just want you to know that we've given this a lot of thought.
That being said, we've decided to choose none of them.
- Not the answer that I wanted to hear.
- I know.
So you know what I have to do now, right? I just believe we can do better.
That may be true, but time's up.
Well, this feels like déjà vu all over again.
We're all tied up, nine seconds left.
Guys, bring it in.
Let's bring it in.
This is it.
Time's up.
Tie game.
Last play.
Here's what we're gonna do: Rhodes, you set a high screen for Devon, then hit your spot.
You're gonna find Rhodes cutting across the lane.
Get him the ball.
You calling the play for Rhodes? Everybody thinks you're taking the shot.
That's because I am.
- I'm here to put the ball in.
- You're here to help win.
Whatever.
Look, I'm taking the last shot, or I'm taking a seat.
Your call.
Okay, take a seat.
Scott, you're in.
- Know where you're supposed to be? - Yes, sir.
- I know where I'm supposed to be.
- That's what I wanna hear.
Let's get "win" on three.
One, two, three, win! - Jamie, look.
Daddy's going in.
Whoo-hoo! - Yeah! Paul.
Appreciate you meeting me.
You got two minutes.
Tell me why you should direct this movie.
My movies have made a lot of money for a lot of studios, including yours but I look at my résumé, and there's something's missing.
I've yet to make that one quality movie.
The one I'm proud of.
I think this can be that movie.
And because I identify with this world.
I understand the feeling Lucas gets every time he steps on the river court at night.
I can show the audience how a song can change Peyton's mood.
I recognize that there are two sides to Brooke Davis, both of which are amazing.
I wanna make the little things the big things, Paul.
I'm the guy to do it.
I hope you don't mind me coming.
I kind of had a feeling about tonight.
Well, I didn't exactly light up the box score.
Zero points.
Zero rebounds.
One assist.
Best stat of the night.
