One Tree Hill

Previously on "one tree hill"...

You ready for tonight?

bring it on. I got this.

Kind of different in the game.

How different?

Do I even want to ask?

Really, I'm fine.

I told you I wanted to be a mom, and you ran away so fast,

You left an owen-shaped hole in my front door.

You're right, and you didn't deserve that.

I'm sorry.

You're still a jerk.

Hot intern?

Mouth! - gigi?

The nosy guy across the street

Called and said he saw someone breaking in.

That is peyton's wedding dress.

Someone made an offer for the movie rights to my book.

For "the comet"? that's great!

Not for the "the comet," but, um, "ravens."

You've gotten even more beautiful.

What are you doing here, julian?

Optioning your fiances book.

Like hell you are.

Actually, it's already done.

I see you two have already met, huh?

Yes, we have.

Feels like I've known her for years.

Oh, my god. you're totally inspired by it.

No, I'm not. - You are, too. admit it.

Your entire new line is gonna be based on

Based on the amazing couture wedding dress

I had already spent 72 hours

Hand-stitching for my best friend?

Oh, wait.

That's ruined.

You're still pissed.

And you're still grounded.

Fine.

So, what's your version of grounded?

Well, I've been thinking.

One week for exposing a 5-year-old to depravity,

Another week for letting some skeevy fratvestite ruin peyton's wedding dress,

and we're gonna tack on another week for throwing an underage keg party

In your foster parent's upscale boutique.

That's it?

You are not supposed to be happy about this!

No, I just thought that thing my friend eugene did

In the bathroom sink was gonna cost me another week.

You...haven't been in the bathroom yet, have you?

What did eugene do in the bathroom sink?

Sam!

This is not over, young lady!

Didn't think it was, old lady.

Don't kill the child. just don't kill the child.

What?!

Wow. where's nice brooke?

I killed her, and I ate her bleeding heart for breakfast,

And I'm still hungry.

Right.

Well, if you see her,

Tell her I enjoyed

Cleaning up sam-a-palooza with her last night

And that I plan on bringing her a gift every day

Until she's ready to reconsider me.

Every day?

Whether you like it or not.

Gold, godiva, gucci, gerber

My jewelry, chocolate, purse, and flower preferences.

I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow.

Wait -- gerber?

Daisies.

But sunflowers are very nice, too.

Bye, now.

You are just in time.

For what -- hibernation?

No.

I saw your slamball schedule for the next three weeks,

And it looks pretty grueling,

So I thought you better stock up.

Haley, 90,000 calories a day is not gonna keep me

From getting hit on the slamball court.

No, but it'll give you a little extra padding when you do.

I cleared a place for your trophy.

You know, I don't think they give you trophies in slamball, buddy.

Not even for champions?

That's pretty lame, huh?

How are you supposed to know you're awesome without a trophy?

Well, I guess you're gonna have to keep telling me.

Go eat your breakfast in front of the tv,

All right, little bear?

Okay.

Good luck.

It's really good.

How you feeling?

I think you may have had one too many mojitos at tric last night.

Ohh, I know -- headache.

Thanks.

So, what was your first impression of julian last night, huh?

Peyton, I love you,

And I want us to be together forever.

Luke, wait. it's just not as simple as all of that, okay?

I mean, there's a lot we have to talk about.

You're saying no.

No. I love you so much.

Just not enough.

Hey, I need you to go on a coffee run.

Okay. in a minute.

I don't have a minute.

I said I need a minute.

God!

Probably just a jam in the three-hole-punch tray total pain in the ass,

but definitely not worth a pretty girl crying over.

You know, the last thing I need right now

Is some -- some shallow, egocentric

Hotshot music producer hitting on me.

Okay, just for the sake of argument,

What if I was more of a failed guitarist

Turned fledging indie-movie-producer type?

No. right.

You know, the best thing about a paper jam?

What?

It forces you to open up the machine,

Figure out what went wrong in the first place.

He was charismatic.

What you doing?

If you haven't heard, I'm a big screenwriter now.

Screenwriter.

Luke, about that

I think I really needed this, you know?

With everything that happened with "the comet," I just

It's nice to know

That your work has merit and relevance, you know?

Yeah. of course.

I am nervous, though.

I mean, julian already has a studio interested.

And they want a first draft in, like...

Three weeks.

Did you even sleep?

Oh, yeah, a little.

Eh, not really. no.

Well, you wouldn't tell from the script.

It's -- it's good, luke.

Yeah, but not great.

Very close to great.

In fact, I'd say one scene away from great,

And I think you know exactly which scene I'm talking about

Keith's murder.

And I know you wanted me to show it,

But I just thought that maybe it'd be more effective

If we find out after the fact -- you know, cinematically?

Okay, well, I don't want to flaunt my experience,

But cinematically, it doesn't get much better

Than seeing a man kill his brother.

Well, that man who was murdered...

Was my uncle.

Which is, I think, why you didn't write the scene.

You're too close to it.

But our audience needs to face what happened, luke...

...even if you can't.

Just give it a try.

Trust me.

I'll put off the studio until tomorrow, okay?

You can do this.

And if I can't?

To be blunt,

Then I'll find a writer who can.

I'm broke.

You're 5. you're supposed to be broke.

Undefeated for the last three weeks,

Fans expect the slashers to be carried through

Tonight's semifinal slamball game against the mob

On the shoulders of former college standout nathan scott.

That is, of course, unless jerome garret,

Hit man for the mob, has anything to say about it.

We're not afraid of nathan scott.

Man, that chump's always been more hype than skill.

Well, and there you have it from the hit man himself.

Back to you guys.

They should just give you the trophy, daddy.

I tried to tell you

They don't give you trophies in slamball, buddy.

I checked for you and everything.

Sorry.

Come on, brooke.

If you could fill this place up with anything,

What would it be?

What did you get me?

Peyton

Well, don't act so disappointed.

Last time I checked, I was your only customer.

Yeah.

It's a good thing I like the emperor's new clothes.

I'm sorry.

It's just that owen's been coming by every day

For the last three weeks to bring me loot.

Well, I did not know you were into him again.

I'm not totally sure I am yet, but I am into loot.

Brooke, what owen did was uncool,

But it is equally uncool to lead him on
