EPISODE #315 · JUST WATCH THE FIREWORKS
Coach 'Whitey' Durham: "It's been fifty years, fifty long years since I've done this. Looking back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had, I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is the measure of a successful life, then some would say that I'm a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that every day won't be sunny, and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair remember it's only in the black of night you see the stars. And those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, or stumble and fall, cause most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination."

1955: (Past Teacher: "recreational activity?") "Well.. I like athletics, horsing around with my pals. I suppose most of the fellas like to chase girls. (Past Teacher: "And does that go for you too?") Ah, no sir.. I have a steady girl. Some kids find it difficult; having a steady. I don’t. I guess the key is, just finding someone who feels the same way you do.. I suppose, a fella just wants to fit in; find a good girl, maybe, one day, do great things. (Past Teacher: "Tell us about that steady girl of yours, Brian.") Well her name is Camilla.. and my wish is that one day she'll agree to be my wife… and we’ll grow old together. I’d like to have a boy of my own one day. Maybe lotsa kids. I’d like to try to teach them; right from wrong, good from bad. I’d like to let them teach me. I think I have something to offer them. Well, I hope so. I guess only time will tell."
Student Capsules:
Nathan: "So you want me to tell you something about myself? I don’t have anything to say. Even if I did, you’d be wrong to believe me. Trust is a lie. Nobody ever knows anyone."
Peyton: "OK, first-off, I wanna say happy sixty-seventh birthday to Peyton Sawyer. You were pretty cool back in the day. Um… and to… Jenny Jagielski, who is… wow, um, like in her fifties now. Uh… your dad… sure loves you. Plus, he’s a total fox. ----- OK. Well, if you’re young and you’re watching this, uh, you guys know what you’re up against, especially if you’re a girl, it’s... sex, right, and.. and even fifty years from now, I’m guessing it’s still a really big deal. You know, it’s awkward… and… threatening… and thrilling. But, in a way, it’s like sex is the easy part. You know, it’s...giving your heart to somebody; that’s the scary part. ----- I lost my way, a little bit, this year. But.. lately it’s been better. You know, um, it’s pretty amazing how.. temptation can be silenced by a ray of hope. But.. when the face to that hope is a boy’s face, I guess, for me, hope comes with trust issues too."
Anna: "My name is Anna Taggarro and I'm a junior at Tree Hill High and since it's twenty fifty-five, I guess it’s OK to say that... I'm . Although, if I still haven’t found the nerve to come out to my friends and family...by twenty fifty-five, surprise! ----- My name is Anna Taggarro and I’m a junior at Tree Hill High. And.. I’m homosexual.. and straight.. and a Latina and I hate labels! And I hope by the time you see this, those things won’t be an issue. For now, all you need to know is this; my name is Anna.. and I’m just trying to find my way.. like most kids. I guess that part is timeless."
Lucas: "My best friend, Haley, left town recently. And it’s.. been hard. You know, until this year, it’s-it’s always been us against the world. We pretty much grew up together and.. now she’s just gone. You know, I.. I understand the leaving part. Trust me, I just wish she woulda called me; before she left. I wish.. I coulda talked to her about it. I mean, not to change her mind.. or to tell her what to do, but.. just to say I love you... and I miss you. Just to say goodbye. ----- My brother’s been going through a tough time lately. I wish there was more I could do to help him. I mean, just getting along is kinda new to us. But I guess that’s how brothers are. Better to each other and worse to each other than anybody else. I also wish I could make things easier for my mom. I mean, even though it’s been a tough year for us, I want her to be happy more than anything. But that doesn’t change the fact that I need to get closer to my father because if I can get closer to him, maybe I can find a way to beat him. Once and for all - set the people that I love free. I just hope I have the strength to tear him down for good."
Tim: "Pretty much been with all the hot girls; freshmen, seniors. Yeah, it’s good times. Currently I’m dating, um… Brooke Davis. ----- See, what else, um... oh yeah, there’s this new girl, Anna, who’s into me but.. I’m all 'girl... be patient, you know, 'The Tim' will get to you eventually’."
Jake: "OK, so… I’m a single father… and… until recently, a high school dropout… and… I’m going on my first date since my daughter was born. Am I a great catch or what? ----- So, I’m seeing this girl and I think our experience levels are a little different, you know, but... even so, I’m doing something with her that... I’ve never done before; I’m falling in love."
Brooke: "So you’re probably looking at this and making fun of my outfit, right? Anyway, here’s all you really need to know about today; if.. you fat, dumb, sexual, and a guy, you’re OK. If you’re a girl, not so much. Please tell me that’s changed in the future. Somebody tell me you’ve got love figured out, because I got news for you; it’s pretty darn messy right now. But I guess it’s always been that way. Wanting to be loved, to find somebody that makes your heart ache in a good way.. feel understood. So.. if you’re robots, or aliens, or something and you’re watching this right now and that feeling no longer exists; well... you missed it... and I feel sorry for you. 'Cause as far as I can tell, that’s what it’s all about. And that’s what I know it should be about."
