These are from Dawson's creek.
"Joey: People change, Dawson.
Dawson: They don't have to.
Joey: Yes, they do. People die, and they move away... and they grow up. Everthing changes eventually."
"You wanna know what the truth is? I still love you and I probably will love you for a very long time. But I can't just be your buddy, because as much as i enjoy the concept of being "just friends" in reality it's a bizarre form of torture and i'm just not willing to participate in it. so right now what i wanna do is just move on and get over you and the only way for me to do that is to not be around you anymore."
"Brooks: And remember, you're still young enough to fall in and out of love a few more times before you get it right.
Dawson: That doesn't sound very fun.
Brooks: It isn't...And it is... And it isn't. But it's worth it. Every single time."
"You're off the hook. I've never really put much faith in all that "if you love someone, set them free" crap, as evidenced by everything I've done in my life up to this very moment, but I am determined to be happy, Joey. Happy in this life. And I love you. I mean, I always-- I have always, always loved you. But our timing has just never been right. And the way I figure it, time is no man's friend. So I have to get right with that and be happy, now. Because this is it. I mean, this is all that we get. If there's one thing I've learned from losing Jen, that's what I've learned. I also want for you to be happy. It's really important for me that you be happy. So I want you to be with someone, whether it be Dawson or New York guy or some man that you haven't even met yet. But I want you to be with someone who can be a part of the life that you want for yourself. I want you to be with someone who makes you feel like I feel when I'm with you. So, I guess the point to this long run-on sentence that's been the last 10 years of our lives is just that the simple act of being in love with you is enough for me. So you're off the hook."
"Joey: Dawson, I'm sorry I don't have the same dreams I had when I was 15 years old, and I'm sorry that I moved on faster than you did, but you know what? Maybe not everything that happens to you is my fault! And maybe just because I want more from my life than--
Dawson: more than what? More than us? You don't know, do you? You've never known. The entire time I've known you, all you've wanted to do is escape. From me, from Capeside. I mean, you say that I'm the dreamer. I'm the one who doesn't wanna live in the real world. Well, I'm doing it, Joey. Right now. I'm living in the real world. It's you who wants the fantasy"
Dawson: Joey, if things are complicated between us, it's because you made them that way, all right? You. And you think that... Whatever was wrong when you were with me is gonna magically get better when you're with him?
Joey: I don't know, Dawson. I don't know, ok? I just know that I-- I need him.
Dawson: You need him like you need me? it's a simple question. Do you need him like you need me?
Joey: No. Look, you can't do that. You can’t. Those 2 things have nothing to do with each other, and you know that. The way that I feel about him is completely separate from the way that I feel about you and our friendship.
Dawson: we don't have a friendship right now. As of right now, we do not have a friendship.
Joey: That is not fair!
Dawson: You can't have both of us! You can't have him as your boyfriend and me as your consolation prize. You're gonna have to make a choice, and I'll tell you right now, if you choose him, I'm not gonna be around to pick up the pieces when it all falls apart. This ruins everything. There's no goin' back"
It's sad. I always wanted it to be Dawson and Joey in the end.
One Tree Hill Season One that I love.
Okay so One Tree Hill is my most favorite Television Show ever. It beats Beverly Hills, 90210 for me and that is a big accomplishment let me tell you.
Here are some of my favorites. It's probably because I was in high school my junior year when it started but never mind that. Here's the quotes from my fav tv show.
Lucas: What makes it less of a game if people don't see it?
Keith: I'll tell you why. When I was a kid, my father took me to Raleigh to see David Thompson play. I was 9 years old. I couldn't have cared less about basketball. But when Thompson stepped on the court, he was so young, so quick, and just so graceful that I was mesmerized. I couldn't take my eyes off him until late in the game, and I look up at my dad, and he's got tears in his eyes. 14,000 strangers and my father's crying because he's so beautiful. He played with such poetry that he made us feel like we were a part of it. You have a gift, Luke, and it's a crime not to let people see it, to hide it in the park. It's a damn shame. That's why.
Lucas: Anyway... Guys kept teasing me about it, about how Nathan’s dad was my dad, too. So I asked my mom, and she said he wasn't. But I'd get home, and I hear her crying in her room. I knew it was true. So I never went back. I told my mom it was because I didn't want to have to see his face. But, it was mostly because I didn't want her to have to.
Peyton: So why'd you tell me that? I mean, we don't even know each other.
Lucas: Maybe that's the point.
Lucas: You ever have something that you knew that you were better at than.. almost anybody else?
Peyton: Sex. (pauses while Lucas stares at her) Joke.
Haley: Do you see this book? Because this book is me. I am math.
Nathan: What's that supposed to mean?
Haley: It's supposed to mean that you can work your whole "I'm Nathan Scott, Mr. Big Shot, scoring my touchdowns" on somebody else, because -
Nathan: I don't even play football.
Haley: Whatever. The point is, at the end of the day all your bluster and BS don't mean anything to math because math don't care, and neither do I.
Nathan: Well, does English care? 'Cause I really suck at that, too.
Haley: Please don't waste my time. I'm already taking a huge chance on you because my instincts are screaming that you're full of sh... Let's just get started, okay?
Peyton: He really slammed you.
Lucas: I don't care what he thinks.
Peyton: Neither do I.
Lucas: Oh yeah? Then why are you drinking?
Lucas: So I'm confused. You want to be anonymous and you let the world watch you on a web cam.
Peyton: The world isn't watching me... but I guess you are.
Lucas: Okay, the point is.... you want to express yourself but you don't want people to know it's you.
Peyton:I guess I'm just a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside a *****.
Lucas: Or maybe just a tortured artist.
Peyton: Look, I don't need you defending me and my work. I don't need you analyzing it or interpreting me either. And in fact, I'm pretty sure I don’t need you at all.
Lucas: Pretty sure?
Peyton: How's the tutoring going? You're tutoring Nathan, right? It's ok. He tells me everything.
Haley: Yeah, he said he needed some help.
Peyton: Maybe you could teach him to stop being such a jackass.
Haley: I will put that on the lesson plan.
Peyton: Just be careful, ok?
Haley: Yeah, sure.
Peyton: Does Lucas know you're helping Nathan? (Haley looks at her in disgust.) You know, you say a lot when you keep your mouth shut. It's okay. I'll keep mine shut, too.
Nathan: I remember this one summer, I was playing little league baseball, and I was the pitcher, and my dad was the coach. Anyway, this kid, Billy Lyons, he was a great hitter. Everything he hit was a homerun. So, you know, he got up to the plate and there was nobody on base, so I just walked him. Four straight pitches, nothing even close to a strike. So my dad calls a timeout, comes to the mound, and I’m thinking he’s gonna say like, smart move or good thinking son, something like that. But instead... instead he grabs me by the arm, and he kicks me in the *** as hard as he can. I mean, he literally took me by the arm so that I wouldn’t like, go flying, he kicked me so hard. Then he brought Stevie Planking in to pitch, sat me on the bench, never mentioned it again.
Lucas: That sucks.
Nathan: Yeah. So just think about that the next time you’re feeling sorry for yourself.
Luke:She told me to listen to tracks 8 and 13. Well, there are only 12 songs.
Peyton: Honest mistake.
Luke: Yeah, I guess. I mean, I'm sorry about this morning with your dad. I had no idea he was there.
Peyton: It's because he usually isn't.
Luke: I thought you were happy with your setup?
Peyton: That's what I tell him. I make up stuff in the emails. I send him about how happy I am on my own and how responsible I'm being even when I'm not. He loves his job, you know, and after my mom died, it's just not fair to ask him to give that up, but I miss him when he's away.
Luke: You tell him that?
Peyton: He worries. It's just better not to.
Guy: Buy you a drink?
Brooke: Okay, guy in need of a clue. Here's one. Women send signals. That was a brush off. Before you dip into your shallow pool of wit, let me paint us a picture and save us both the trouble. Here's your evening. You are going to slink back off to your buddies, laugh this off, get wasted, go home, and make nice with yourself. But don't be thinking of me because even your fantasy of me isn't interested in you.
Those are my favorites from Season one.
If you are confused and have never seen the show here's the synopsis for the show.
"Besides a love for hoops, it would seem that Lucas and Nathan are two young men with little in common - except for the dark secret that they share the same father. Arrogant and assured, Nathan is the star of the high school basketball team and hails from the wealthiest family in town. Quiet, brooding and driven, Lucas is a loner, the only child of a single working mom. He's always kept his distance from Nathan. But their lives collide when a twist of fate puts Lucas on Nathan's team. The rumor that's haunted the boys since childhood now becomes more than just whispers as the half-brothers compete not only for control of the court, but also for the heart of Nathan's girlfriend. So unfolds a deep and bitter conflict that's been years in the making; one that will play itself out in their homes, their hearts and at school as they struggle to come to terms with who they really are - and the fact that they may have more in common than they ever imagined."

And I hope you all go rent it, because it is a great series. In it's 6th season currently.
One Tree Hill Season Two that I love.
Lucas: [voiceover] T.H. White said: Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically to those who hardly think about us in return.
Peyton: What is that?
Brooke: This, Missy blond girl, is the Brooke Davis version of 'Spin the Bottle'. Only now, it's 'Spin the Body'. Watch. OK, you two have to make out. And last but not least; we have 'Five Minutes in the Elevator'.
Lucas: Isn't it 'Five Minutes in the Closet'?
Brooke: Yeah, if you're in junior high. But the great part about this is; you know how everybody has their elevator list?
Skills: What?
Brooke: Your elevator list! Come on! The list of people you're allowed to have sex with if you're ever stuck in an elevator with them.
Skills: "Halle Berry."
Fergie: "Beyoncé."
Peyton: "Jack Black."
Mouth: Brooke Davis.
Lucas: I think everybody…knows that Nathan and I got off to a pretty sketchy start. Nathan; mutual hatred sound about right?
Nathan: Worse. (They laugh.)
Lucas: Yeah. You see, then a funny thing happened; Haley. She showed me that you can find the good in everybody, if you just give them a chance. The benefit of the doubt. Sometimes, people disappoint you. Sometimes they surprise you. But you never really get to know them…until you listen for what’s in their hearts and that’s what Haley did with Nathan. That’s what we should do for them. So for you skeptics out there, prepare to be surprised. So this is to my…brother and my little sis in-law, and in love.
Tim: Dude, Smell me
Nathan: Dude, Kiss my ***
Chris: Sorry, we're closed.
Peyton: Yeah, I know. I was just wondering if I could post this flyer on your board. I'm auditioning bands for a local talent night.
Chris: All ages night? Tell you what, you can post it if you take your shirt off.
Peyton: Excuse me?
Chris:: Emo's crap. [Peyton's t-shirt says 'Finding Emo']. Gives punk a bad name.
Peyton: You think?
Chris: I do.
Peyton: Huh. Well, I guess those that can't do, sell records. You insult all your customers this way?
Chris: Well, since we're not really open, you're not really a customer.
Peyton: Whatever, I'm going to school.
Chris: Don't forget your 'Get Up Kids' lunch box.
Peyton: [hangs flyer] You know, it's real punk to be up at 7 am doing inventory.
Chris: I never went to sleep.
Anna: First they put away the dealers,keep our kids safe and off the street. Then they put away the prostitutes, keep married men cloistered at home. Then they shooed away the bums, then they beat and bashed the queers, turned away asylum-seekers, fed us suspicions and fears. We didn't raise our voice, we didn't make a fuss. It's funny there was no one left to notice when they came for us.
Peyton : Anna, it's not about who I am, okay. It's about who they are. They are people who hate, and they divide, and they feed off of people who don't fight back. Yeah I could laugh this off, but what about the girl who can't? Who's gonna help her? Silence only makes them stronger.
[Principal Turner encounters "DYKE" tshirt]
Mr. Turner: Miss Sawyer, you know we have a policy regarding wardrobe that's offensive or profane.
Peyton: [points to her locker] Does that policy extend to lockers, 'cuz you haven't removed that yet have you?
Mr. Turner: You know the drill: go to the office and change or be sent home.
Peyton: Ok, Mr. Turner, have you ever heard of Victor Jara? No? Um... he was this musician, right, and he fought injustice with his songs and when they broke his hands and when they taunted him, he just sang even louder.
Mr. Turner: Look, Peyton, oppression's not exactly a mystery to me, ok? I feel your pain.
Peyton: No...no you don't. Ok, I'm sorry, but you don't know anything about my pain!
Mr. Turner: Maybe so but there are counselors you can talk to. Literature you can read.
Peyton: Ok, I'm-I'm not ***, Mr. Turner!!! But you know what; if I was I wouldn't let other people tear me down because of it and I sure as hell wouldn't be looking for my answers in one of your pamphlets!
Mr. Turner: Policy is clear Peyton. Remove the shirt or be suspended.
Peyton: Fine. [takes off her shirt, leaving her in a red bra and throws it at him] Can you hear my song now, Mr. Turner?
Mr. Turner: Enjoy your suspension, Miss Sawyer.
Brooke: [Election Speech]: I thought I knew you. But I guess it's easier to see what we want than to look for the truth. You think you know me but you don't. And that means you don't know what I can do. You see me as someone who's popular and who has all the answers but that's not true. I may not always know what I'm doing but I'll try to make things better. And when I make a mistake, because face it, we all do, I promise I'll ask for your help. I can't do this alone, but if you'll take a chance on me, we can do great things together. I promise if you believe in me, I'll find the courage to reach for your every dream. John F. Kennedy said, "the courage of life is a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures. And that is the basis of all morality".
Taylor: I know what it's like to want to search for something more, Haley ,Thats why I'm always running. But I never had a Nathan to come home to.
Lucas: Charles Bukowski once wrote: There will always be something to ruin our lives. It all depends on what or which finds us first. We are always ripe and ready to be taken.
Gosh this show is just brilliant and brings back awesome memories. Please tell me you've seen this series?
