- Peyton: What are we doing? You know, you've been here three weeks, Ellie, and all we've talked about is music and the CD and business. But it's not just a business arrangement, is it?
- Ellie: Of course not.
- Peyton: I need you to talk to me about your cancer.
- Ellie: It's okay.
- Peyton: No. No, it's not okay. How can you just act like nothing's wrong? Aren't you afraid? Because I am afraid for you.
- Ellie: Don't be afraid, Peyton. Every song has a coda, a final movement. Whether it fades out or crashes away, every song ends. Is that any reason not to enjoy the music?
- Peyton: It doesn't mean I can't want it to not end.
- Ellie: Look at you. You've had more life-changing events in the first 17 years of your life than I'd wish on anyone. You got the surviving part down. I want you to focus more on the living.
- Peyton: Sometimes surviving is about all the living I can handle.
- Ellie: I don't buy that for one second. And if you keep this up, hiding in your art and your sadness, you're really gonna miss out. Because the truth is: there is nothing to be afraid of. It's just life.
- Rachel Gatina: Look, um, let me help you, give you the benefit of my expertise, and teach you how to become one of the guys the elite girls drool over.
- Marvin 'Mouth' McFadden: By being mean to them
- Rachel Gatina: Sometimes
- Marvin 'Mouth' McFadden: But I'm not that guy, Rachel, and I don't wanna be. So maybe the elite girls just aren't for me then. But one of these days I'm gonna meet a girl who really loves me. Maybe she won't be what you call hot, but I'll think she's beautiful and I'll tell her so. I won't be mean to her because I won't have to play games with her. I'll just be the guy that she can always count on and that'll be enough. And she'll be elite to me.
- [Lucas and Brooke are out in the storm, yelling to each other]
- Lucas Scott: Stop! This is ridiculous!
- Brooke Davis: Ridiculous? I found that letter in your sad-box to Peyton, whatever, in your closet! Dear Peyton, blah blah blah, you're mine forever, LOVE LUCAS!
- Lucas Scott: I don't even remember writing that!
- Brooke Davis: Well, you did! Looks like forever just got a lot shorter!
- Lucas Scott: Brooke, I am sorry! It was a mistake!
- Brooke Davis: Which time? When you wrote it to ME or PEYTON?
- Lucas Scott: You know, YOU were the one who was snooping through MY closet!
- Brooke Davis: SO not the point!
- Lucas Scott: Look, I know you feel vulnerable about what you wrote to me in your letters...
- Brooke Davis: That is NOT why I'm upset right now! And FYI, I am NOT your recycling bin!
- [Brooke stomps away]
- Lucas Scott: [yelling after her] NO, YOU'RE PSYCHOTIC!
