All language subtitles for One Tree Hill S01E12 Crash Course in Polite Conversations

Previously on One Tree Hill. Peyton!

Who are you?

I'm her dad.

He loves his job.

It's just not fair to ask him to give
that up.

But I miss him when he's away.

You were right, Dan. We don't need a
shrink to identify this family's

You just made it obvious.

I'm not his only parent, Deb.

Hey, why don't you ride with the old
man, Nathan?

Come on, Nathan. Let the kid make up his
own mind. What do you say, son?

I need to connect more with Lucas.

I thought you guys were already doing
that. The making out thing is great and

all, but it only goes so far.

Where do you get off telling Nathan he
can quit the team? I didn't tell him he

could quit. He wanted to talk, we
talked.

I don't mind you playing daddy to one of
my offspring.

But leave the good one alone, will you?

You're the first really great guy that
I've ever dated.

And that really scares me because I
never gave a rat's ass before.

I give a rat's ass.

I'm done.

I thought you should be the first to
know.

Me?

Yeah.

You wanted my world, man.

It's all yours.

Hey, honey. Hey, Dad.

What's going on with the Unabomber look?

Go further.

That's right, though. You're not used to
seeing me like this.

See, when I'm on the job, I usually let
it grow. Then I shave it off right

before I come home. Kind of a ritual for
me. Well, just make sure you find your

razor day after tomorrow.

And after that, I'll be shaving a lot
more off.

Okay. Hey, Brooke.

Hey, rake boy.

I see nobody uses the doorbell still.

Papa Payton, scruffy thing's working for
you.

What are you guys up to so early?

I don't know. Payton just... Oh, no. You
know what?

You'll find out when you get home.

Not even a little hint? Mm -mm. Not
even.

I love you.

You better.

Love you too, honey.

Bye.

So what's the surprise?

I need your help with something.

Come on.

Damn, that's nice.

That's your dad?

Yeah. He hasn't driven in like a year,
though.

Do you think you can get it to run?

Of course you can.

And he's going to look good doing it,
too, in a tight little wife beater.

some great smudges.

And I was thinking maybe you could help
me wash and wax.

I'm glad to help.

I just want to do something nice for him
since he's coming home.

All right.

I'll go get my tools.

Surprise!

You answered the door in your underwear?
Grandma, Grandpa, what are you guys

doing here?

Hey, oh, what a surprise.

Well, thanks for the warm welcome. Told
you this ambush was a bad idea.

He's dragging me to another one of those
odd... Nobody's dragging anybody

anywhere. I told him that the only way
I'd go is if we came by here for Danny's

birthday.

Oh, Dan's birthday, of course.

Yeah.

Are you going to leave us standing out
here all morning freezing our asses off?

Oh. Come on in.

Come on, keep screaming.

Looks like you put on a few there, Deb.
What's good on you?

Dan.

You remembered.

I'm touched.

I know. I'm not here to wish you a happy
birthday.

But your parents are.

What? Yeah, they shut the house.

Apparently you never told them that
you're not living there right now.

How'd they take it?

You think I told them?

I'm not going to be on the receiving end
of that. That's your job.

Well, how long are they here?

Just tonight. But it gets better.

Your mother is cooking you a big
birthday dinner.

Oh, perfect.

All right, so what are we going to do?

We are not going to do anything. You are
going to go to the house right now and

tell them we're separated.

No, we're doing the counseling.

We're going to work this thing out,
right? Isn't that the whole point?

It is. Well, you know how they are.

Do you really want them weighing in on
the state of our marriage?

Do you remember when we told them we
weren't going to have any more kids? How

many times did my dad call you? And now
you don't even have the option of

hanging up on them.

Go on, Dan, just say it.

We go through the motions tonight, get
it over with, send them on their way,

go back to working on us.

Besides, it might do some good to try
and remember what it's like to be a

family.

Fine.

Just for tonight.

Just for tonight.

Table or counter?

Actually,

I'm looking for Karen.

Oh, you know what? She's in Italy right
now. Cooking school.

Good for her.

How's that boy of hers doing?

Lucas is great.

She calls in every once in a while. You
want me to leave a message?

No, that's all right. I'll just catch
her next time I'm passing through.

Okay. Can I tell her who stopped by,
Mr.? Just an old friend.

It's not the battery.

It's probably the starter.

Well, you can fix that, right?

Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem.

Oh, it's an amazing car.

Amazing guy.

Is that what you got me this thing for?

Mm -hmm. Yeah.

I was just getting started.

Sadly, so was I.

What's wrong?

I'm just worried about my dad.

All right, I just checked online, and
now they're saying it's a Category 3

hurricane.

All right, you already checked on the
webcam, right?

Yeah, it's out.

Well, maybe he turned it off.

Or the storm did it for him.

Yeah, but storms knock that kind of
thing out all the time, right?

Anyway, aren't judging boats huge?

He wouldn't be on the judging boat.

Right now, if there's a storm headed his
way, he'd be on this little tiny

transport headed back to shore, and
that's what worries me.

Okay. Peyton, just stop. Don't do this
to yourself, all right?

Just because he hasn't checked in
doesn't mean something's happened.

Doesn't mean it hasn't either.

So this dinner thing is going to be
pretty bad, huh?

Massacre.

My grandma's okay.

It's just my grandpa's pretty intense.

You've met my dad.

Just imagine where he comes from.

Garrett. Yeah.

You should come tonight.

Maybe it'll make everybody behave.

I'll come if you want me to.

No, I wasn't serious.

I wouldn't put you through that. No, I
mean, if you're asking, of course. My

answer's yeah.

Well, then I'm asking.

Well, then I'm coming.

Get this right. Dark gold finish, custom
leather package, and what you want is a

champagne interior.

I'm here to see the manager.

Excuse me. Hey, fella.

You ought to know who you're doing
business with.

Is there a problem?

Well, you're buying from Dan Scott.

Basketball legend.

Still holds the all -time scoring record
for Tree Hill.

Made All -State his senior year. No
kidding.

No kidding.

My dad.

I figured.

You play college, too?

Would have, but he blew his knee out in
his freshman year. He got robbed.

Would have been one of the greats. Dad,
Mr. Miller's really not interested. I'll

tell you what, meet me in my office,
okay? I'll be right in. Yeah.

Champagne interior, right?

All right.

What? Somebody's got a brag on you.

And you're not going to close that sale
without your old man's help. You know

that, don't you?

You always were my biggest promoter.

Yeah.

Hey, still in shape. Good for you.

Well, you're home.

Listen, I called Nathan. I told him not
to tell Dad that he's not going to

practice. You mean that he quit the
team?

You know what I mean.

I also told Keith to avoid the subject.

Any other lies I should remember to
tell?

I'm trying to protect our son from my
father, okay?

You don't even see the irony, do you?

Mom, you look beautiful as ever. God
bless you for a liar.

Can I compliment you? You call me a
liar. You look tired.

Hey, son, what's the deal? No more
Charlotte points?

Yeah, New Orleans can have them.

You think you have a playoff's hope?

No, no.

No sports talk. Oh, come on.

Yes, ma 'am.

Oh, I just came here to say... You look
great.

Well, look what the cat dragged in.

It's good to see you too, Dad. Uh -huh.

Happy birthday, Danny.

Yeah, thanks.

Come on, have a seat. Dinner is almost
ready.

Danny, will you pour some wine, please?

I'm on it. Amen to that.

Listen, Mom, I'm going to need another
plate setting. I invited a guest.

A date?

Oh, my goodness. Well, you get that
chair over there, and I will take care

everything. Grandma, this is Haley.

Oh, Haley.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Well, Nathan, you look more and more
like your old man every day. We all know

where he gets his good looks, don't we?
Oh, come on in.

You sit right here next to me, huh?
Thank you.

I'll get it.

Oh,

my goodness. Friday.

Good evening, everybody. Good to see
you. Sorry I'm late.

Well, Royal, how's everything? Glad you
came. Well, not too shabby, I guess.

All right, try it again.

What is it?

I just got a phone call.

Um, dorm.

My dad's transport is missing.

There are three guys on it.

They're covered a body.

What'd they tell you?

I have to go see if it's him.

You sure you shouldn't call your
grandmother?

No, she'd freak out. I'd rather not
upset her. Besides, it's not going to be

dad. Of course it's not.

Let's go ahead and get this over with.
We have a four -hour drive ahead of us.

A four -hour drive into a storm?

Well, the storm's passing through. By
the time we get there, it should be

Okay, wait a second. Shouldn't somebody
stay here by the phone? I mean, in case

your dad calls.

I will.

You go with Peyton.

You sure?

Yeah. Lucas, you're good in Christ. It's
not that there's going to be one,

but... I would probably end up falling
apart and you'd end up taking care of

which is not the point.

So... I love you.

It's gonna be okay.

You're the best.

I'll call you guys if I hear anything.

So how's the team doing this year,
Whitey?

Oh, we're still undefeated, actually.

Daddy's still rooting for Magic these
days.

Please.

No talk of sports until after dinner,
okay?

Good idea, Mom.

Sorry.

Well, Nathan, what are you averaging
these days?

No, your dad had 27 and a half a game.
You beat that yet?

Well, we just... I'm asking the boy a
question, May.

Uh, well, maybe you could ask the old
man.

Uh, 24 points a game, I think, isn't it?

So, 24 game, huh?

You know, you're gonna have to get that
up. You're gonna beat the old man.

Yeah, your dad's star would have risen
through the roof, Carolina, if it hadn't

been for that damn knee of his. How are
your knees?

No worries.

He's got great knees.

Uh -huh.

Of course, now Danny takes after his old
man, you know.

Never let adversity stop him.

Too bad Keith takes after his mother's
side of the family.

Lucky for him.

I'd drink to that, but I gotta get a
refill.

Well, I should see you about the cake.

I'll go do that, Mrs. Cotton.

You wanna come now? Yeah, yeah, the
cake. I

warned you

it was gonna be intense.

Oh, insane is more like it.

You know, there's a door right there. We
could sneak out.

Nobody would even notice.

Tempting.

So how often do your grandparents come
to town?

A couple times a year. Why?

Haley, you've got that look.

What look?

The look you get when you want to tell
me something, but you don't really want

to tell me. No, I don't. And you
shouldn't know that look yet.

What is it?

Your grandfather came by the cafe today,
and he asked for Karen.

He did? Yeah.

I just kind of got the feeling like
they've been keeping in touch.

Does Lucas know?

No. They've never even met, but your
grandfather asked about it.

That doesn't make any sense.

My grandpa acts like my dad's second
coming. Why would he visit Karen?

I don't know. I don't want to start
anything. I'm just telling you.

You know what?

My family's so screwed up, nothing new
would make a difference right now.

Don't worry about it.

You warm enough?

I'm okay.

You should probably get the heater
cooked in here, huh?

You know, I could have Keith take a look
at it for you.

He's really good at that stuff.

You want me to stop and get some coffee?

I'm fine.

Thanks.

Thanks for doing this for me, Luke.

What friends are for, right?

What's going on?

The bridge is up because of the storm.
It'll be open in the morning.

All right, we have an emergency. We have
to get across the bridge.

I'm sorry, Mitt, but it's not safe.

Okay, is there another way through?

Only the ferries, but the channel's too
rough, so they're not running. Well,

what are we supposed to do?

Hopefully, we'll be able to lower the
bridge in the morning at 6 a .m.

There's a motel right down the road.

You might want to grab yourself a room
before they're all gone.

There you go.

So, Nate, how's your game this year?

Here we go again.

Now, just cover your ears, May.

I just want to know how my grandson's
doing on the team.

I already told you, Dad. No, you didn't.
You didn't tell me, Jack.

And every time I mention it, you change
the damn subject.

Now, will somebody around here tell me
what's going on?

Nathan?

Whitey? Anybody?

Nathan, I think you better take this
one.

Quit the team, all right?

You quit the... What do you mean you
quit the team?

He didn't quit the team, Dad. He's just
taking some time off. No, he's not.

Please stop lying, Dan.

Were you ever gonna tell me this? I
mean, that's a hell of a thing to keep

yourself. Yeah, you're one to talk.

What's that supposed to mean?

I know you visit Karen at the cafe,
right?

What's that about?

That's none of your damn business.

I guess somebody's got a big mouth. Shut
up, Grandpa. Don't you talk to me like

that. Back off, Royal. I've had enough
of your crap.

Nathan is not the problem.

Would someone please explain?

Dan has been writing Nathan for the past
six years about that damn game. Deb,

stop. Riding him so hard that Nathan
took drugs so he could measure up.

Until he had to be rushed to the
hospital.

He could have died because of this
insane pressure to put a ball through a

But none of that is my son's fault,
Royal.

Your son's.

Danny.

You of all people.

How dare you?

You know how much you hated it when your
daddy bullied you to be better. I never

bullied him.

And when you wanted a way out, I gave
you one. All these years, I protected

I lied for you. And now you're doing the
same thing to your son? What lie? What

are you talking about?

In college.

His knee injury.

It wasn't permanent.

Danny quit.

And I helped him.

What do you mean he quit?

Not like that, Dad. Oh, stop it, Dan.

Time the truth came out. Will somebody
tell me what in the hell is going on

here? You were on the road when Danny
hurt his knee.

So he lied.

You told me it was a degenerative knee
condition. It was, Danny. And you told

that.

Don't you see, Royal?

He was never going to be the star that
you wanted him to be.

You just couldn't see that.

The boy had two choices.

To fail in front of you or to quit.

Either way, he lost.

So you just quit without even being man
enough to own up to it.

There's more to the story, Dad. You
don't know the whole story.

Me too. Come on, Haley. I'll take you
home. Thanks for dinner.

Well. I can show myself out.

Thank you, May.

Deb.

Happy birthday, Danny.

Danny, don't cry.

Well,

I guess I'll do the dishes.

I'll sleep. Then I'll be at the bridge
as soon as it opens up.

What do you say, 6 a .m.? We'll be there
at 5.

What?

I'm in a hurry to find out if my dad is
dead.

It's kind of surreal.

Yeah, it's pretty messed up.

You know how it dreams?

You're always trying to get to some
place you need to be, but you never

get there.

Yeah.

I wish I could wake up.

Maybe we should try to get some sleep.

You think you can?

Okay.

I'll just sleep on the floor, all right?
Don't be stupid.

I just wish there was something I could
do or say to help you through this.

You already have.

Thanks, Lucas.

Sorry you had to see that.

No, it's okay.

Help me understand, Cal.

You know, growing up, there were certain
things that were just

carved in stone.

And the main one was that Dan Scott
would have been a pro if he didn't pull

his knee.

So...

All this time, he's just been feeding me
this line of crap about how great he

would have been.

And how I'd never be as good as him.

Bastard.

At least you know the truth, though,
right?

I just don't know what to do with it.

Okay.

Good night.

Good night.

I'm here if you need me, okay?

Hey, remember how I said my family's so
screwed up, nothing new would make a

difference?

Yeah.

You want to hear my side of it? Why
should I believe it?

This whole time you've been riding me,
you've known exactly the way I feel.

Now that that's in my head, it just
makes it that much worse.

I was a great player, Nathan.

In high school.

But when I got to Carolina, I knew it
wasn't going to be the same.

My dad couldn't see it, though.

It was hurt on your grandmother, too.

So when I got hurt, she came to me and
pleaded with me to walk away.

Said it would be better for all of us.

So I did.

Worst decision of my life.

It felt good to get out from underneath
my father.

And after a while, I realized I wasn't
playing for him at all.

The game meant the world to me.

I just never took the time to stand back
and realize that.

So I tried to get back into it.

Rehab, running, weights.

It was too late.

My knee never responded.

It was over for me.

So you think that somehow gives you the
right to hammer me all the time?

I know I push you. I know I'm hard on
you.

But I'm trying to save you from life of
regret. And trust me, you don't want it.

So then you make me feel like crap all
the time.

It really helps, Dad.

I could have been stronger.

But I push you so you will be. So things
will end up better for you than they

did for me.

Then you're safe, Dad.

There's no way I'm ever going to end up
like you.

Hey.

What you got?

To my heart.

I love Dad.

He gave it to me on my last birthday.

What if it's him, Lucas?

It's not gonna be. Because I don't know
what I'd do.

It's gonna be okay.

I just keep trying to picture walking
into that room and seeing him lying

But I hit a wall.

Why does it seem like every time things
are finally going to be okay, something

terrible happens?

You don't know that it has.

Keep them close to you.

You can sleep in the bedroom. I'll stay
out here at night.

Has it ever once bothered your
conscience that our entire relationship

on your lie?

When you were forced to walk away
because of your so -called injury, I

out, too.

We both dropped out to raise Nathan.

Don't rewrite history.

Oh, so you're the only one who can play
that game?

I thought I knew the man I was choosing
to spend my life with.

The injury was real, Deb.

And yes, I decided not to rehab it at
first.

But by the time I changed my mind, it
was too late.

I did it in service of you and Nathan.

Now, I know how you'd hold it against me
for not telling you, but did you ever

think that maybe I did it to protect you
from it all?

If that's what you need to believe.

It's the truth.

What's all this?

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up.

I wasn't asleep.

Did the vending machines?

Hungry?

No, you should probably eat something.

After my mom died, my dad couldn't cook.

So we lived on frozen pizzas for the
longest time.

I could live on pizza.

He'd buy these cheese pizzas, and then
he'd put his own toppings on.

Pickles, bologna, pineapple, whatever.

That's nasty.

No, actually, they were really good.

I think he did it mostly just to make me
laugh.

You know, to help me forget for a little
bit.

You ready?

Martin.

Scrambled or fried, what do you think?

I think nobody's going to be that
hungry.

I'm glad you stood up to Royal the way
you did, Deb.

I didn't mean to hurt Dan, but this
lying over the years has gotten so

I did what I thought I had to do to save
my son.

That's what we do.

I'm glad you spoke up.

You know, someday you're going to
realize I did you a favor.

Your daddy's going to get over this
eventually.

But if you let history repeat itself,
your son may not.

I'm going for a run.

Oh, well, I think I'll scramble the
eggs.

Yeah.

Listen, Nathan, I...

Whatever you're going through, I'm sorry
about your dad.

I understand why I did it, Grandpa.

I must have really loved you, you know
that?

Because anything seemed better than
disappointing you.

Not him.

You did good.

I feel like my test is going to explode.

Peyton's place.

Hey, it's me.

Hey, I was just dialing you. That's
freaky.

Well, good news.

Yeah, I know. I just got off the phone
with the Coast Guard. They made contact

with his boat. He's fine.

They found your dad. He's okay.

Oh.

All right, we're heading home.

Okay, I'm waiting.

Love you. All right, you too. Bye. Oh,
my God.

Wait. What?

Um, my bracelet.

I must have left it in the motel.

All right, let's go.

Hey. Grandma's making breakfast.

Show starts at nine.

You in?

Um, as fun as last night was, I think
I'm gonna pass.

You know, I've been thinking.

Now that you know the truth about your
dad, you're free, right? I mean, he's

been lying to you all this time. You
don't have to listen to him anymore.

There's no more pressure.

Yeah. We're sober, true.

My dad walked away, and his father will
never forgive him for that.

I have to go back.

Nathan... I have to beat him, Haley.

That's the only way I'm ever going to be
free of my dad.

It has to be in here.

He's okay now, okay?

How's business, Keith?

Steady.

Good.

I know I ribbed you a lot, son, but I
hope you know I think you're a good man.

That's great, Dad.

First nice thing you say to me, and it's
really just to dig it down.

Please, could we just eat our breakfast?

Dan?

You forgot to open your present.

This is from your dad and me.

Oh, okay.

What's this?

It's a quilt.

A lady in Orlando made it.

We still had all your old basketball
stuff, and I just couldn't bring myself

throw them out.

You see, son, you still have a lot to be
proud of.

It's almost over, Deb.

Thank God for that.

After all that's happened, I want to
thank you for not throwing gas on the

You okay?

No. No, Dan, I'm not.

And we're not.

All this pretending and lying, I can't
really hold it against you. Yeah.

I realized all these years...

Don't.

It was stupid, okay?

You're with Brooke now.

Yeah. We just... We get carried away.

Didn't mean anything.

It didn't.

Of course it didn't.

Take it all today.

Too late.

My time.

You could say that I will have to turn
back to you.

Take a long day.
