JAMIE VOICEOVER:

"Haley let me explain..." Nathan states.
"Okay go right ahead...lets see how the great Nathan Scott gets himself out of this one" Haley states, over exaggerating.
Nathan stands up,
"I was helping a friend okay?" Nathan tells her.
"Get out" Haley whispers.

"Look ever since you came into town...I've been trying to do everything to avoid you...and now I've just realized that I can't do it" Brooke lets out.
"Well I know how much you and Julian are in love" Felix begins, "So I won't say anything about us hooking up in high school" Felix assures her.
"Really?" Brooke lets it slip from her mouth.

"You know my mom wanted me to play basketball, because Q did...but lately it doesn't even matter" Andre stated.

Celia stops.
"You know what you need?" Celia asks, knowing the answer to his problems.
"What?" A curious Jamie asks her.
Celia pulls out a ciggarette.
"One of these...they always help me deal with my mom leaving" Celia tells him.
