EPISODE #201 · THE DESPERATE KINGDOM OF LOVE
[
NATHAN & HALEY'S WEDDING VOWS ]

Nathan:
"Someday, this beach might wash away…the oceans may dry…the sun could dim but on that day, I’ll still be loving you. Always and forever. I promise you Haley.

Haley: I Haley, take you Nathan. To have and to hold, from this day forward. In sickness and in health. For richer or poorer. For better or worse. I promise, that I will love and cherish you. And will deny all those that would come between us. I make this promise for eternity. I promise that I will keep forever… Until the end of time. Till death do us part."


EPISODE #202 · TRUTH DOESN'T MAKE A NOISE
[
LUCAS' TOAST TO NATHAN & HALEY AT THEIR RECEPTION ]

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."


EPISODE #213 · THE HERO DIES IN THIS ONE
[
BROOKE'S CAMPAIGN SPEECH ]


Brooke:
"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 has all the answers; that’s not true. I may not always know what I’m doing... but I’ll try 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 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."


EPISODE #216 · SOMEWHERE A CLOCK IS TICKING
[
LUCAS' TOAST TO KEITH & JULES AT THEIR RECEPTION (that never happened) ]

Lucas:
"Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always. A promise. Like a reward for persisting through life so long alone. The belief in each other and the possibility of love. A decision, to ignore or simply rise above the pain of the past. The covenant, which at once binds two souls and yet severs prior ties. The celebration, of the chance for two will always be stronger than one. Like a team, braced against the tempest’s of the world. And love... will always be the guiding force in our lives. For tonight is mere formality.. only an announcement to the world for feelings long held. Promises made long ago -- in the sacred space of our hearts."


EPISODE #318 · WHEN IT ISN'T LIKE IT SHOULD BE
[
NATHAN'S MARRIAGE RE-PROPOSAL TO HALEY ]

Nathan:
"Over the past year I've learned so much about life and love. And even if I could, I wouldn't take back all the bad stuff that's happened between us, 'cause it brought us here, this moment, this river. Marry me, Haley. Marry me again in front of all our friends and our family."
Haley:
"Always. Always and forever."


EPISODE #322 · THE SHOW MUST GO ON
[
NATHAN & HALEY'S WEDDING VOWS ]

Priest:
"Friends and loved ones, we are gathered here today to witness the renewal of a commitment. A commitment between Nathan and Haley to love one another, unconditionally and endlessly. Nathan and Haley, there are many things I could say to the two of you today. But, instead, I choose to listen to the words you have for each other... Haley."

Haley:
"Nathan, it's been said that there is one word that will free us from the weight and pain of life. And, that word is love, and I believe that. It doesn't mean that it hasn't been hard or that it won't be. It just means that I found a stillness and bravery in myself with you. You make me brave and I will love you until the end of time. This I vow today."


Nathan:
"Last year we stood on a beach and I told you how much I loved you and how I would always, always protect you. And, that day nobody believed that this would work. But, I don’t think anybody understood the love that I had for you; because, if they did they would have never doubted us. So I wanted to marry you all over again in front of most of our world. Because today, when I look into your eyes my love for you only grows. It’s even stronger now and that love will never waver. This I vow to you today and always, forever."


EPISODE #322 · THE SHOW MUST GO ON
[
LUCAS' TOAST TO NATHAN & HALEY AT THEIR WEDDING RECEPTION ]

Lucas:
"The last time I gave a speech about Nathan and Haley was, well at their first reception. I remember saying, 'Prepare to be surprised.' Well, I have to say even I was surprised; because, you see they do something that's very rare to see in someone our age. Actually, it's very rare to see in anybody; they give their hearts to each other, unconditionally. And, that's what true love really is. It's not this fairytale life that never knows pain, but it's two souls facing it together and diminishing it with unconditional love. To Nathan and Haley Scott."


EPISODE #322 · THE SHOW MUST GO ON
[
BROOKE'S TOAST TO NATHAN & HALEY AT THEIR WEDDING RECEPTION ]

Brooke:
"I'm not the most eloquent speaker, so I thought I would borrow a few words from Shakespeare. 'Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.' When life gets hard, when things change, true love remains the same. I look at Nathan and Haley and some how I feel safer. I don't know if I can explain that, but they give me hope. And, I'm afraid say it out loud because maybe if life finds out it'll try to beat it out of them and that will be a shame. Because, we all can use a little hope sometimes, you know. That feeling that everything’s going to be okay and that there's going to be someone there to help make sure of that. So, here's to Nathan and Haley, and here's to hope, and here's to a love that will not alter."


EPISODE #322 · THE SHOW MUST GO ON
[
COOPER'S TOAST TO NATHAN & HALEY AT THEIR WEDDING RECEPTION ]

Cooper:
"Uh Hi, I'd like your attention for a second. I'd like to propose a toast to my knuckle head of a nephew and his beautiful bride. As most of you know Nathan and Haley's relationship was, was unexpected. Mostly because Haley is classy and attractive and Nathan is.. not. But, here's to Nathan and Haley, for proving to us that love is real and genuine and still attainable for the rest of us. Cheers you two."


EPISODE #322 · THE SHOW MUST GO ON
[
RACHEL'S DRUNKEN TOAST AT NATHAN & HALEY'S WEDDING RECEPTION ]

Rachel: "Well, well.. I would like to make a toast, to Cooper's toast, about love. But, wait a minute, what could Nathan and Haley possibly know about love? I mean, they're only seventeen right? Right Cooper? You see, Cooper seems to think a seventeen year old couldn't possibly know anything about love. Of course, you know, that didn't stop him from having sex with me. Right? To sex with Cooper!”

Nathan: "Is she serious?"
Cooper: "I'm so sorry."


EPISODE #408 · NOTHING LEFT TO SAY BUT GOODBYE
[
WHITEY'S LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD SPEECH AT THE BASKETBALL BANQUET ]

Principal Turner: "As most of you know, tomorrow night is coach 'Whitey' Durham's final game. And to show our appreciation for his dedication and excellence, we present him tonight with the Lifetime Achievement award. So without further ado, I give you, your coach.. 'Whitey' Durham."
(Everyone applauds and cheers.)
Whitey: "You do realize we have one more game to play? Let me tell ya, this award means an awful lot to me... I might have given a lifetime to this team, but the players.. the players have given me so much more. You know, basketball was my first love and as most of you in here realize, you don't forget your first love. My only regret is, I can't share this wonderful moment with the other love of my life, my late wife Camilla. Camilla was the only person who ever fully understood me, being with her made everything else seem less important. The moment I met her, I knew that I was looking at my future -- and I knew no person could ever come between us. I know Camilla would've liked this group of boys, I wanna thank them and I wanna thank all of you for allowing me to spend a lifetime with my first love. Thank you."
