Original subtitles

You passed the band's test.

Now you gotta pass mine.

Car salesmen are always such jerks.

I'm actually a mechanic. I like mechanics.

It's my first college class.

You're taking it with hargrove? This guy's tough.

My name is Andy hargrove.

Welcome to my class.

Felix: it's called dare night.

One night, two teams, multiple dares.

Oh, my gosh!

Uh-huh!

What do we win? A night to remember.

I'm in it to win it.

Aah!

$3.80.

Lucas: Katherine Anne Porter once said,

"there seems to be a kind of order in the universe...

"In the movement of the stars and the turning of the earth

"and the changing of the seasons,

"but human life is almost pure chaos.

"Everyone takes his stance,

"asserts his own rights and feelings,

"mistaking the motives of others,

and his own."

Felix, let's get going! I don't want to be late!

Skirt's a little short, isn't it?

I'm just looking out for you.

Can we just go?

Sure, as soon as you discover pants.

You know why?

Because first impressions are important, Anna,

and yours says "abierto all night."

You know what? I'll ride the bus.

Anna, okay. Come on.

No, you're being mean.

Brooke: let me guess --

one of your friends-with-benefits hos

didn't want to pay her deductible?

Gross. that's my sister.

Wait -- you mean, after they had you,

your parents rolled the dice and kept breeding?

That's risky.

Funny.

I was thinking about this whole "friends with benefits."

"Felix with Brooke."

F.w.b.

Hmm.

I.y.f.d.

In your dreams.

I saw you in '87 against williamsburg.

You put up, what, 35 points?

37.

Man, you were unstoppable.

You play college ball?

Uh, how long till we have the results?

The doctor will call in a day or two,

but his numbers look good

for a guy who just had a heart attack.

I'll tell you what.

I'm gonna put this on warm-down for you, okay?

There. better?

How about that? Good. It's good.

All right, all right. You take your time, man.

Yeah. right.

[ Door closes ]

How am I supposed to pass a stress test

with some orderly reminding me my best days are behind me?

Come on. He says you're doing fine.

Thanks.

You must be happy.

In 48 hours, you won't have to wait on me anymore.

Well, I'm not gonna put my life on hold

waiting for a phone call.

I read in the paper

there's gonna be a meteor shower this weekend.

Thought maybe I'd go out and watch it from the beach house.

Good for you, Dan.

Maybe we could watch it together.

You've been with me every step of this recovery, Deb.

We could go out there, and I could make you dinner.

Just to say thanks. That's all.

Sorry, we're closed.

Yeah, I know.

I was wondering if I could post this flier on your board.

I'm auditioning bands for a local talent night.

"All-ages night."

Tell you what --

you can post it if you take your shirt off.

Excuse me?

Emo's crap. It gives punk a bad name.

You think? I do.

Hmm. well, I guess those who can't do, sell records.

Do you insult all of your customers this way?

Since we're not really open, you're not really a customer.

Whatever. I'm going to school.

Don't forget your "get up kids" lunchbox.

You know, it's real punk to be up at 7:00 A.M. doing inventory.

I never went to sleep.

Hello!

Jules, it's Keith.

Uh...

Keith -- you know, the guy who took you on that drive?

Gotcha.

Well, the reason I'm calling is the, um,

"follow-up customer satisfaction survey."

On a scale of 1 to 10, how happy were you

with the service at Dan Scott motors?

Well, the guy who helped me was nice and kinda cute,

but he waited a whole week to call me,

and when he did, he came up with some lame excuse about a survey.

I'd give him a "7."

You think we could bump that up to an 8 or a 9

maybe over dinner tomorrow night?

Maybe, if he comes to my place and cooks for me.

Okay.

Hey, coach.

Mr. Scott.

How you feeling?

Like a schoolgirl in springtime.

What can I do for you?

Well, uh...

I just wanted to talk to you about your surgery.

Keith had told me that --

who gives a damn what Keith says?

It's not his life.

Okay.

I just don't know

why you're not going through with the surgery.

[ Sighs ] Lucas, do you know how my wife died?

In surgery, like 20,000 other people a year,

and I don't plan to be one of them.

Look, coach --

no, you look!

We are not in season. There's no practice.

Now, I want you to turn around and get out of my office

and mind your own damn business.

This club night is gonna rule.

Not according to the jerk at the record store.

Huh?

What are these auditions?

Oh, um, I think Peyton's having an all-ages night

at Karen's club.

She's probably looking for bands or something.

When do you go on?

Not. stop it. Hales...

It's one thing to play at home for you.

It's another to get up in front of a crowd and do it.

There's no way.

Nathan...

Letter came for you through my office.

What is it?

How the hell should I know?

Do I look like the damn postmaster general?!

A meteor shower occurs

when the earth passes through the cloud of dust

left behind by a comet in its orbit of the sun.

[ Knock on door ]

Lucas, you're wanted in the office.

Take your books.

Hey.

Anna? what are you doing here?

I'm sorry I didn't call you after dare night.

Give me a chance to explain.

I mean, you owe me that.

I owe you?

I got you out of science, didn't I?

Where did you get this hall pass, anyway?

I swiped it when I met the principal.

Look, I'm sorry i blew you off.

My brother's kind of overprotective

because we haven't gone to the same school in a few years.

Wait -- Felix is your brother?

Um...

Yeah.

[ Laughs nervously ]

I figured you'd connect the dots sooner or later.

Anyway...i --

I told Felix that i hadn't met any guys,

and, I don't know, I just didn't want to have to deal with him.

So I didn't call you. I'm sorry.

I figured when Felix saw those pictures of us

in the photo booth, he'd let you know who I was.

I still can't figure if he's screwing with me or what.

I never gave him the pictures.

Why?

'Cause it wasn't just about dare night for me.

Me neither.

That's a decaf latte with one shot of Irish cream.

Thanks.

Eh, you've been pouring me free coffee in the café all week.

I figured I'd return the favor.

Well, unlike you, i need an "a."

Consider that coffee my apple.

Um, look, I was wondering if you were available tomorrow night

to, um, to watch the meteor shower.

Just the two of us?

Well, I could schedule a class field trip

if it makes you feel safer.

No, no, no, that's not it.

It's just that going back to school's a big step for me.

And you don't want to do anything to screw it up?

Like, um, dating your professor?

Yes.

Karen, uh...

I wouldn't ask you to hang out with me

if I thought it was going to compromise your studies...

Or my job.

You know, unless you simply don't want to hang out with me.

'Cause that's okay, too.

No. no, no. I do. That's not it.

Good.

So, what do you say? Tomorrow night?

Okay.

Okay.

I'll leave you to it.

Oh, and, uh, hey, look -- I know it's kind of short notice,

so, uh, bring Lucas along if you can't find a sitter.

I'd love to meet the little guy.

Oh, I don't think that's going to be a problem.

Okay.

Stars. to the human eye, they appear very close together.

But, as you know, in reality...

High flyers is this all-star basketball boot camp.

This guy milt west --

he scouts the best players in the country

and invites them down to Florida

so they can work on their skills.

They invited you! Wow!

Nathan, I'm really happy for you.

You deserve this. You've worked really hard.

Okay, could it get any worse?

My love life is nonexistent,

my parents are having a yard sale to sell everything we own,

and I had to beg them to keep my car.

Okay, you might not be rich, but you are still Brooke Davis,

the most popular, least studious girl in school.

Maybe so.

But being poor and horny is no way to go through life.

How am i supposed to have fun?

Boys won't care about the "poor" part,

just as long as you tell them about the "horny" part.

To top it all off, if my parents go broke,

I might actually have to study to get into college.

My god, the horror!

I know! How the mighty have fallen.

...there's increasing evidence that our galaxy, the milky way,

may also be a barred spiral,

but it's difficult to tell its exact shape

from our perspective...

I think I need a little recess.

...now, who can tell me?

What do you get when two flaming stellar bodies collide?

Okay, here's the thing -- we are not dating.

We are not going out. We are nothing.

I am not your wife, your shrink, your mommy.

There is no romance, no crappy poetry,

no PDA, and no spooning.

This is purely physical.

If we have sex, it's gonna be safe sex.

We're friends with benefits.

In fact, we don't even need to talk.

I can live with that.

Great. come here.

So, uh, there's this new girl named Anna in my algebra class.

Would she be the dare-night mystery girl?

Yeah. also happens to be Felix's sister.

Nice.

Did you know about that?

Just found out this morning.

Well, don't hold it against her, man.

She can't help it if her brother's an ass.

So, high flyers?

What I wouldn't give for three months in Florida

playing basketball at that camp.

Is it three months?

Yeah, I think so. Why?

That's all summer.

We can't live for three months off Haley's café paycheck.

Even if we could, I don't want to be apart from her that long.

You guys will figure it out.

Nathan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

You know that.

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to say hello.

You've said it.

[ Sighs ]

Nathan got into high flyers.

He couldn't have done it without you, so I...

...i just thought you'd care to know.

Son!

The mistake you're making is you think I care --

about you, about the team, about anything.

I lost the only thing i cared about a long time ago.

I have this picture in my room of the team...

From your 500th win.

Now, the man in that photo looks like a guy, to me,

that still cares about something.

We need you, coach.

Not just to win games -- we need you in our lives.

Have the surgery.

I figured this summer out -- i thought I would call Karen,

see if I can stay with her and Lucas until you get back.

We'll save a ton.

You think she'll go for that?

Before you came along, i practically lived there.

Then I'll pick up some extra shifts at the café.

Haley, you work enough already.

You're going to this camp if I have to sell a kidney.

It's only three months.

I wish I could go to Florida with you.

Isn't this Brooke's house?

Brooke: hey, be careful with that!

It's venetian, and I'm not talking Vegas.

Finding anything?

Uh, just this picture frame.

Just take it. No, I insist.

Thanks, mouth.

Haley: hi! Hey, guys.

We didn't recognize the address. We won't buy anything.

No, it's okay. We sold my pride around 8:30.

I'd rather see you wearing my clothes

than any of these 50-year-old wannabes.

So I'll give you the good-friend discount.

Okay. thanks.

I'm gonna look around.

How do you do it?

Do what?

You gave up your family's money to be poor, Nate.

You know what they say, Brooke -- money can't buy love.

Maybe so.

But my mom sure had a good run renting it for a while.

Excuse me.

What are you doing here?

Pool's closed today.

You didn't get my text message?

Thought you might want to hang out.

Okay. amendment to the rules.

Hook-ups will be initiated by me -- where and when I say.

And I say not here, not now.

Woman: I'd like to buy that Dollhouse.

Oh, no.

It's not for sale.

But there's a price tag on it -- $150.

Well, it's a misprint. The "1" should be a "4."

$450?

You okay?

My room -- five minutes.

You gotta hang your wrist.

You know, freeze after the release,

like Jordan did when he beat Utah in the finals.

What about following the ball?

Following the ball is following your miss.

Right.

You play?

A little bit.

We beat the crap out of our lady of peace every year.

So, what do you say?

A quick game of hog?

Hmm.

How about this?

For every shot I hit,

you tell me something about yourself.

Okay.

And what do I get when I win?

What did you have in mind?

I win...

We watch the meteor shower together.

And if I win?

If you win...

We watch the meteor shower together.

Jules: smells good in there.

Oh, I, uh, brought some wine.

Nah. I'm more of a beer girl.

[ Bottle cap drops ]

So, this place is, uh, it's nice.

Thanks.

It's early American garage sale.

[ Chuckles ]

I have to say -- you really know your way around a kitchen,

which is impressive since it's not even yours.

Thanks.

You know, I would have invited you over to my place,

but everything's still in boxes from the move back, so...

Charleston, right?

I guess I keep thinking if I don't unpack,

then, you know, maybe the move still happens.

[ Rapid beeping ]

Is that your oven timer?

Actually, it's the smoke alarm.

[ Laughs ]

Oh, boy.

[ Oven door opens, beeping stops ]

[ Coughs ]

You know what I'd love?

I.h.o.p.

Perfect.

Okay.

My confession is...

I didn't tell Felix i was coming here tonight.

But I'm going to.

I swear.

Granny. from the free-throw line.

Nice shot.

Thank you. So, what do you got?

[ Sighs ]

I confess that I'm sometimes selfish.

I don't always give back as much as I get.

Well, well.

I believe that's h-o-g.

And, um, did I win?

[ Both chuckle ]

Looks like you owe me one meteor shower.

[ Singing off-key ]

Why don't we just call it "club suck"?

Hey, thank you. That was -- that was, um, great.

That was great. Um, we'll...Let you know.

That was the last of 'em.

Well, we can go with the balding wedding band

or the bad ballad guy.

Great. so club no-name has no acts.

Huh. Nathan just sent me an mp3.

[ Haley singing on recording ]

Oh, that's a virus. You don't wanna --

stop.

[ Singing continues ]

Why did we even bother having auditions?

Haley, this is awesome.

It's...mmm.

Oh, it's that rude record-store guy.

Um, can you just put the cds by the side of the stage?

Thank you.

How many other songs have you written?

I don't know -- a few.

All right, you're going to open.

Uh, no, I'm not.

I have major stage fright.

You learned an entire cheer routine in three hours,

and you rocked the house.

Okay, with a group. I cannot do it by myself.

No. you're going to have to find someone else.

[ Guitar strumming ]

[ Plays Tyler Hilton's "glad" ]

* everywhere you go, perfection *

* follows you the wrong direction *

* and you will never see if for *

* to get all that you need and more *

* you see it

* you want it

* you find it, it's yours

* but you can't say what you want

* or take what you want

* or choose the moods that you fake when you want *

* you said your life needed something special *

* which you don't have

* yeah, well, aren't you glad? *

* yeah, yeah, yeah

* yeah

I think you just found your man.

Hi, I'm Haley.

This is Peyton. And you're great.

Yeah, I know. When do I play?

Um...7:30? you're okay.

But we had a lot of really good people show up today,

so...we'll call you.

Whatever. not emo enough for you?

Hey, I heard your song. It's not bad.

The key of "a" is kind of crap, but you pulled it off.

Okay, are you out of your mind? He's clearly the best.

Yeah, he's good, but...

He's a jerk!

And he's, like, arrogant and self-righteous.

Peyton, you're not dating him. Just put the club first.

I am. I don't need him, Haley.

I've got you!

Think about it, okay?

You can do this.

So, I thought you said we were going to watch

the meteor shower from your yard.

Um...actually, this is my yard.

[ Chuckles ] you're kidding.

You're not kidding.

No, I, um... I bought it a year ago.

It's real estate, right? It's a good business.

My house is about a half-mile up that way.

Wow.

Well, it's very beautiful.

It's a little of the south island

in north Carolina, you know?

So, how does a New Zealander end up here, anyway?

Um, let's see, uh...

My dad died when I was 14,

and my mum figured we better move to the states

before I turned into a rugby bum like him.

Did you know there's a one Tree Hill in Auckland?

You know, I've heard that.

Yeah, it's a volcano.

Or it was 20,000 years ago. Now it's a park.

We used to picnic in it sometimes,

so when mum saw this "Tree Hill" on a map,

she figured it was meant to be.

So she raised you all by herself in a foreign country?

She must be quite a woman.

Yep, she is.

I don't know -- thinking back,

I would have loved to have seen her do something

like go back to school after dad died, you know?

So she could get to live her own life

rather than always having to sacrifice so I could live mine.

Table for two?

[ Michael meanwhile's "sun & stars" plays ]

* settle in for my next trick

* assuming you can hear me

* over bells and whistles blowing *

* for your high stick

* but I could look at you all day *

* faking sleep beside my best attempt *

* to find the words I'm dying to say *

I can't believe they sold my dresser.

Got anything to drink?

Water, if the plumbing's still hooked up.

You sure you're okay

with this whole friends-with-benefits thing?

Why wouldn't I be?

It's just, most girls I know

aren't able to hook up without the emotional entanglements.

Well, try having your boyfriend hook up with your best friend

and see if that's not tangled enough for you.

Lucas and Peyton?

God, why am i even telling you this?

I thought I made it clear we don't talk.

If I wanted to have a conversation,

I'd find someone with half a brain.

Did I mention that it's friends with benefits?

Don't kid yourself.

Your only advantage is that you live 30 seconds away.

So...no friends.

Not for me. Just benefits.

Close the door on your way out.

* why not just everyone?

* and it's sobering

* to find that you've got nothing up your sleeve *

* can't a guy just dream?

* I kinda like songs

* that sound like the earth doesn't have long *

* before the sun and stars reach everyone *

so, now, uh, Nathan and I are cool.

And that makes Haley your sister-in-law?

[ Laughs ] weird, but yeah.

I thought I had a complicated relationship with my brother.

Yeah, what is Felix's deal, anyway?

He's not as bad as he seems.

So why didn't you tell Felix about me?

It just never came up.

Look, Anna...

I like you.

And I think...

If we hang out, I'm just gonna like you more.

But I don't want to sneak around.

You got to talk to Felix.

I never thought I'd have my brother Dan

to thank for a night like this.

Must be pretty different,

going from fixing cars to selling them.

Truth is, i always had it in my plan.

What do you mean?

Well, I had the idea to open a dealership

long before Danny ever came around to it.

I just didn't have the capital.

Then, when I'd saved enough,

Dan decided to open his own place with his wife's money.

He stole your idea?

He had a family by then,

and I hoped he would do right by his other son, Lucas,

so I taught him everything I knew about cars.

That was pretty selfless of you.

Well, I'd have never done it

if I knew what an ass he was gonna become.

Well, being a good guy has its own rewards.

How were the auditions?

You should not have given that music to Peyton.

She liked it, didn't she?

Yeah.

But I'm mad.

Hales, you wouldn't hear it from me.

Besides, I'm supposed to believe in you

when you don't believe in yourself.

That's what you've always done for me.

[ Sighs ] okay, I'm not mad anymore.

So, then, you'll play?

I will. Okay, maybe I will.

When you get back from camp this fall.

Yeah, about camp...

Uh...

I didn't get in.

Well, what do you mean? They said it was a sure thing.

Yeah, I know, but it turns out they made a mistake.

There was some other kid they had to give the spot to.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Yeah, me too.

But, hey, since I can't go to this camp,

that means you can start playing your music now.

Tell me that you will.

Okay.

Okay, I'll try.

Oh, did you see it?

No.

Ohhhh. blink and you miss it.

[ Pete Murray's "so beautiful" plays ]

* found myself just the other day *

* in the backyard of a friend's place *

* thinkin' about you

* thinkin' of the crowd you're in *

* what you up to, where you've been *

* just thinkin'

* god, my fingers burn

* now when I think of touching your hair *

* you have changed so much that I don't know *

* if I can call you and tell you I care *

* and I would love to bring you down *

* plant your feet back on the ground *

* throw my smoke down on the ground *

* turn my head and I heard the sound *

* that reminded me

* of the days so young and sweet *

* always so much fun to meet

* at least I thought so

* now you think you're so damn fine *

* you can rule the world

* no, not mine

* I don't think so

* god, my fingers burn

* now when I think of touching your hair *

* you have changed so much that I don't know *

* if I can call you and tell you I care *

the meteors always streak from north to south --

right near perseus.

Where's that?

Next to Andromeda. He's protecting his wife.

Right there. You see the figure of a woman?

Oh, yeah. I see it now.

She's chained at the wrists, just like in the story.

Uh, it's late. We should get back home.

We've had a lot to drink.

Maybe we should spend the night here.

I don't have my things.

I threw our overnight bags in the car, just in case.

I'll take the guest room, of course.

So, what time do you want to sneak around tomorrow night?

I'm gonna talk to him, okay? I promise.

You understand where I'm coming from, right?

I mean, at a certain point,

I got to stop talking about wanting to be a different guy

and start being that guy.

I do understand.

And I know you think you have to work at it,

but you're already a good guy, Luke.

At least, I think so.

Get anything at the mall?

Not really.

Hmm.

That's a first.

I went out with a friend.

Do you kiss all your friends?

You've been spying on me?

So you like Lucas?

I don't know, Felix. It was just a first date.

Half the kids in this town were conceived on the first date.

Look, I don't know how much you know about him,

but he's done some things.

That's no secret.

He told me that he screwed some things up.

Yeah, Peyton -- while he was dating Brooke.

Look, he'll do the same thing to you, Anna.

He's a bad guy.

He might have made a mistake, but he's not a bad guy.

And I'm willing to give him the benefit of a doubt.

It would be nice if you'd do the same for me.

See, that's how guys like that get away with this stuff --

girls like you giving them the benefit of a doubt.

Ohh!

You just took 10 years off my life.

It's 1:00 in the morning. I have been worried sick.

Where have you been?

I'm sorry.

You know the rules. After midnight, you call.

Ha ha ha.

I really hope i don't sound like that.

How long have you been home?

About five minutes.

Well, then, we're both grounded.

Clearly a rookie, mom.

Next time, try sneaking in the window.

So, did you have a good time?

Yeah, I did.

Good.

Hey. I'm making pancakes.

Oh, I'm sorry, Dan. I'm going home.

What's the hurry?

We'll go back in a few hours.

No, we won't.

Coming out here was a mistake.

I can't keep pretending that things are normal.

You're better now,

so...

I'll send your things over.

[ Cellular phone rings ]

It's the doctor.

Dan Scott.

Hi, Dan. This is Dr. connelly.

I just received your test results back from the lab.

You're doing really good.

We can start talking about a more strenuous exercise program.

I see.

Okay. I'll talk to you later.

Thank you, doctor. I will. Thank you.

It's not good.

I'm going to have to stay with you for a while.

[ Knock on door ]

Nathan: come in.

Hey, man. Hey.

Want to help me with this table?

I'm rearranging so Haley has more room to practice.

Yeah, man. Uh, where do you want it?

Right there.

So, Haley told me you didn't get into high flyers after all.

Tough break.

Yeah, it's too bad.

You did get in.

[ Sighs ] Nathan...

Man, you've been working for your whole life for this.

You can't say no.

You know what it's like to hit a game-winning shot.

The whole crowd loves you.

Everybody treats you like you're a star.

I get to feel that every time I play.

You know. You've felt it.

Now it's Haley's turn.

She's an incredible musician, Luke,

and she's ready to give it a shot.

So, if I go to camp now for three months,

who knows where her head's gonna be?

I just really want her to feel the thrill of the crowd.

She deserves it.

What about your future?

I already know my future.

It's with Haley.

Welcome to "tric."

[ Door closes ]

Nice space.

Rick.

I hear you're looking for bands.

I suppose we're working together after all.

I guess...

We'll be partying together, too.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Mouth.

I, um, I knew this meant a lot to you.

So I got the address off the woman's check,

and...i bought it back.

Thank you.

[ Cellular phone rings ]

Yeah.

Hey, Dan. Milt west from high flyers.

Um, your son turned me down.

So, what? You're saying he's not going to the camp?

You told me you could make this happen.

He said he doesn't want to be away from his wife.

Sorry.

So, I want you to know that I met somebody.

Well, that's cool. So did I.

Well, mine's younger than me.

I mean, a lot younger.

Okay.

Well, if he's younger than me, I'm not calling him "dad."

Oh, this came for you.
