Haley: I think you left it at your moms a few days ago.
Nathan: Oh! Haley why are you crying?
Haley: I'm just thinking about Lucas.
Nathan: He's coming home today. You know because of my dad.
Haley: I know. I just have really missed him.
(Nathan steps closer into Haley and Haley rests her head on his stomach and wipes her eyes)

Brooke: Oh. So what do you want to do today?
Peyton: I don't know. Lucas is coming back today.
Brooke: And I care because?
Peyton: I was just mentioning it.
Brooke: I know why don't we go get a whole bunch of junk food and go rent some old movies and have a girl's night?
Peyton: Sounds fun.
Brooke: Are you okay you're acting a little weird.
Peyton: I'm fine Brooke don't worry about it.

Haley: He's fine. He went to go see Dan since he's been home alone..
Lucas: I need to go do that to.
Haley: Do you have to go now?
Lucas: No I guess not. Is there something you wanted to talk about?
Haley: No it can wait.
Lucas: Are you sure?

Haley: Go. I'll catch up with you later. (Lucas bends down and kisses Haley on the forehead)
Lucas: Okay.

Karen: Hey Haley.
(Haley turns around to look and quickly turns back)
Karen: Are you crying sweetheart?
Haley: No.
Karen: You want to talk about it?
(Haley shakes her head no)
Haley: I should get going.
Karen: Okay. I'll see you tonight then, right?
Haley: What's tonight?
Karen: We're all going out to eat.

Nathan: You know Lucas and Uncle Keith came back to see you.
Dan: I'm sorry who and Lucas?
Nathan: Dad!
Dan: Do me a favor never again in my presence say that name again.
(Nathan looks down; in walks Lucas)
Lucas: Hey I thought I'd come by since I was around the area.
Dan: What were you doing around here?
(Lucas shakes his head)
Nathan: I've got to go find Haley I'll see you both later. It's good to see you Luke.
Lucas: You too.
(Nathan leaves)
Dan: Why don't you have a seat?
(Lucas sits down)
Dan: So how have you been?
Lucas: Shouldn't I be the one asking that?
Dan: I don't want to bother you with my troubles Lucas we barely know each other.
(Lucas nods)
Lucas: Do you want me to go?
Dan: No. So do you plan on going back?
Lucas: I don't know.
Dan: Look I know I haven't been in your life so I don't have the right to tell you what to do. But in my opinion Luke I think it's better if you stayed here away from Keith for a while.
Lucas: You're right you don't have the right but thanks I'll keep that in mind.
Dan: I know most of the time I come off as a jerk.
Lucas: A jerk more like a...(Dan interrupts)
Dan: I get it. But having that heart attack made me realize I want to do right by my family and that includes you Lucas.
(Lucas nods his head)
Lucas: Words of advice.
Dan: What's that?
Lucas: Try being the dad instead of the coach all the time. (Dan gets a glare in his eye and nods) Hey uh if you feel like it stop by the house around 6:30. We're all going out to dinner.
Dan: Who's we?
Lucas: My mom, Nathan and Haley, Maybe Peyton and Brooke I don't know and Keith.
Dan: If you don't mind I think I'll pass.

Brooke: Yeah just a sec. (Brooke digs in Peyton's coat and finds the letter with both of their names on it)
Peyton: Wait!
Brooke: So you can hide this from me? An old letter from me huh? I am so out of here.
Peyton: Brooke wait!

(Lucas stands up)
Karen: Where are you going?
Lucas: I'll be right back I need to talk to someone. (Haley looks outside and sees Brooke and smiles)
(Lucas walks out the door)
Lucas: Brooke.
(Brooke turns around)
Brooke: Did you mean this?
Lucas: What?
Brooke: The letter?
(Lucas nods)
Brooke: No wonder why Peyton tried to hide it from me.
