Top 30 Quotes From Lee Norris

Cory: Minkus... Stuart, I need your help, maybe if you paid attention the rest of the class would too.
Stuart: Why should I help you? You made fun of Mr. Feeny and said he gets paid too much.

Lucas: And Hansel said to Gretal: Let us drop these bread crumbs, so that together we find our way home, because losing our way would be the most cruel of things." This year I lost my way.
Nathan: And losing your way on a journey is unfortunate. But losing your reason for the journey... is a fate more cruel.
Peyton: The journey lasted eight months. Sometimes I traveled alone. Sometimes there were others who took the wheel, and took my heart. But when the destination was reached, it wasn't me who'd arrived. It wasn't me at all.
Brooke: And once you lose yourself, you have two choices. Find the person you used to be, or lose that person completely.
Mouth: Because sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you've been, and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you wanted to be. The person you are.

Millicent: Oh, no.
Brooke: What?
Millicent: It's him.
Brooke: Who?
Millicent: The hot guy I met at the opening.
[Runs and hides behind the counter]
Marvin: [enters the store] Hey.
Brooke: Hey, honey. Step aside, hot guy guy coming through.
Marvin: What?
Brooke: [realizes Mouth is the guy and turns to look at him] Oh.
[gasps]
Brooke: Hi.
Marvin: Hi.

Felix: I'm Felix, the new guy.
Mouth: I'm Mouth, the been-here-forever-guy.

'Mouth': Hey, let me ask you guys something. Does it look like I'm wearing a blouse?
Brooke: I like it.
Chase: Uh, it's a little...
'Mouth': Great. I'm the blouse man. It looks like I'm competing in men's ice dancing, doesn't it?
Chase: No, it looks like you're winning men's ice dancing.

Rachel: Look, um, let me help you, give you the benefit of my expertise, and teach you how to become one of the guys the elite girls drool over.
Marvin: By being mean to them
Rachel: Sometimes
Marvin: But I'm not that guy, Rachel, and I don't wanna be. So maybe the elite girls just aren't for me then. But one of these days I'm gonna meet a girl who really loves me. Maybe she won't be what you call hot, but I'll think she's beautiful and I'll tell her so. I won't be mean to her because I won't have to play games with her. I'll just be the guy that she can always count on and that'll be enough. And she'll be elite to me.

Marvin: I feel stupid going without a date.
Felix: Events like these are loaded with emotionally vulnerable girls ripe for the picking. Some other sucker buys the flowers, and you pluck the petals.
Marvin: I think petal-plucking is more your style.
Felix: What's that supposed to mean?
Marvin: It means, I want something more with a girl.
Felix: Yeah, well, maybe I do, too, Mouth. Or not.

[the girls on the prom are trying to get to know the crashing people from Tree Hill]
Lucas: So nobody has a fatal heart condition and a father who was purposely set on fire?
[the girls are shaking their heads]
Nathan: You probably have classmates who are married, right? Wife's pregnant? Got married as juniors?
[the girls are shaking their heads again]
Brooke: I started the clothing line after Peyton and I shoplifted my designs back and got arrested.
Prom: Arrested? What did your parents say?
Brooke: Oh, I haven't seen my parents in, like, a year. I live with my friend Rachel. She's so funny. She's had all this plastic surgery, and she just got suspended, and... Now she's kind of missing.
[the girls looks at her in sympathy]
Marvin: You ever had your heart broken?
Prom: Yeah, I think that happens everywhere.

Brooke: And Mouth who was that?
Haley: Oh, that's Carrie. She's our new nanny.
Brooke: I'm sorry, have you lost your mind? She cannot be your new nanny.
Haley: Why?
Peyton: Um, well, for starters, have looked at her, she is way too hot.
'Mouth': OK, you two need to stop. Why does everything have to be about looks? You know, maybe she's a great nanny. Or a great field reporter. Shouldn't that be the point and not her looks?
[pauses]
'Mouth': Besides, if Haley doesn't hire her I won't get to see her in a bikini.
Haley: Nice...
'Mouth': Damn, she was hot.

Marvin: [to Nathan] Dude, what's happening?
Nathan: Mouth, what are you doing here?
Marvin: I was in the A/V... I was in the A/V room and I come out and it's like "Dawn of the Dead".
Nathan: Mouth, don't say "dead." Someone's got a gun in the school.
Marvin: What?
Nathan: Yeah.
Marvin: We gotta get out of here.
Nathan: Yeah, you gotta get out of here. I gotta go get Haley.
Marvin: I'll stay with you.
Nathan: Let's go.

Brooke: Hey, Mouth, how's your bod?
'Mouth': Skinny.

Cory: You kids and your water wars. I'd love to join you, but I'm having way too much fun here.
Shawn: You're bailing on the water war?
Ellis: To paint a fence?
Cory: You say paint a fence, I say par-ty. And by the way, even if you wanted to, I wouldn't cut you in on this action.
Shawn: Why not? I thought we were friends.
Ellis: Yeah, how come you're cutting us out?
Stuart: People, people, am I the only one who read the summer reading list?
[pauses when nobody answers]
Stuart: Tom Sawyer?
[pauses again]
Stuart: He's sucking you in to do the work for him.
[Ellis points his water gun at Cory]
Cory: [referring to Minkus' yellow Paddington Bear rainsuit] Guys, who are you gonna listen to, me or the banana?
Shawn: Well, let's see. The banana says play. You say work. We're gonna hang with the big yellow guy.

Junk: People loved Keith, you know? I was the worst mechanic on the planet, but he gave me a summer job because he knew I needed the money.
Fergie: We hung out that whole summer talking old-school basketball with him. Me, Skills, Mouth...
Marvin: And Jimmy. Jim's funeral is on Tuesday.
Lucas: Jimmy Edwards killed my uncle. Do not talk about him, not in my mother's house.

Mouth: I'm really messed up on the hooch, you know.

Ellis: Chill.
Stuart: I don't understand what that means.
Shawn: It means that 1 out of every 4 people is a nerd. So, when you look around this room and you don't see one, you're it.
Cory: But, we can help you change.
Stuart: Maybe I like how I am.
Ellis: You like everyone always makin' fun of you?
Stuart: No.
Cory: You like always being the last one picked for teams?
Stuart: No.
Shawn: You like everyone pulling your underwear up your butt all the time?
Stuart: [he thinks it over] It's not so bad.

Marvin: It's not suppose to be this way. The artists, and the scientists, and the poets. None of them fitted in at 17. We're suppose to get passed it. Adults, they see kids killing kids, and they know it's a tragedy because they used to be those kids: the bullies, and the beaten, and the loners. We're supposed to get passed it. You're supposed to live long enough to take it back. Just take it back.

Marvin: So, what do you want me to do next?
Brooke: Umm, I need you to take these body jewels and paste them on Thia around her neck, her ties and her cleavage.
Marvin: [Mouth looks over at Tia and pauses]
Brooke: Mouth! Breathe... and paste.

Skills: I still can't believe you pulled off this keg, dawg.
'Mouth': Well, you can thank Brooke and the fake ID she made.
Fergie: Tell the truth, you get with that or what?
'Mouth': A gentleman never tells.
Skills: Man, that's just "Mouth" for NO!

Shawn: Hey, Cory, brought you a great article on Barry Bonds.
Cory: Ah, the 43 million dollar man.
Stuart: Why do they call him that?
Shawn: Because that's what he's getting paid to play baseball for six years.
Stuart: [astonished] Seven-point-one-six million a year?
Shawn: [cautiously] If that's what it comes out to, yeah.
Cory: He happens to be one of the top guys in baseball.
Stuart: Well, I happen to think Mr Feeny is one of the top guys in teaching, and he makes about forty thousand a year.
Shawn: That stinks!
Stuart: Finally, something we agree on.
Cory: Yeah.
Shawn: Feeny ain't worth that kind of money.

Marvin: We just heard Principal Turner read a list of Erica's accomplishments. I could try to do that for Brooke, but it would be kind of a short speech. As you know, Brooke's probably one of the most popular people in school. Something I'm definitely not, and yet she's my friend. She never cared what clique I was part of, the kinds of clothes I wore, or the fact that I have to ride the bus. She looked past that stuff. And when you think about it... isn't that what we want in our president? Someone who can see past the superficial differences and bring us together? This year, Brooke's hard her share of ups and downs... just like all of us. But most of you never saw it, because even when life got hard, Brooke never let it in. She was just... Brooke. Tough, smart, and one of a kind. And I don't know about you but those are the things that I look for in a leader. Brooke Davis is my friend, but that's not why I'm voting for her. I'm voting for her because of her heart and her spirit and because she's the best person for the job,

Marvin: [about Lucas and Brooke] I guess I always thought your hearts were the same.

Brooke: George Bernard Shaw once wrote: "There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it." Clearly, Shaw had his heart broken once or twice.
Nathan: As far as I'm concerned, Shaw was a punk. Cause you know what? Tragedies happen. What are you gonna do, give up? Quit? No. I realize now that when your heart breaks, you got to fight like hell to make sure your still alive. Because you are. And that pain you feel? That's life. The confusion and fear? That's there to remind you, that somewhere out there is something better, and that something is worth fighting for.
Haley: This year, I got everything I wanted and everything I wished for. But in a way, I lost even more.
Lucas: Shaw was right. As we strain to grasp the things we desire, the things we think will make our lives better: money, popularity, fame... we ignore what truly matters, the simple things, like friendship, family, love. The things we probably already had.
Mouth: So Mr. Shaw thinks that getting your heart's desire is a tragedy? I say he's wrong. I mean, clearly Shaw never kissed Erica Marsh.
Peyton: Yes, losing your heart's desire is tragic. But gaining your heart's desire? That's all you can hope for. This year I wished for love... to immerse myself in someone else and to wake a heart long afraid to feel. My wish was granted. And if having that is tragic, then give me tragedy. Because I wouldn't give it back for the world.

Brooke: When do you go?
Marvin: Tonight, I have to.
Brooke: Ok, hug me before I cry.
[hugs mouth]
Brooke: . Goodbye, scarecrow. I'm gonna miss you most of all.

[Mouth and Felix walk up to Hayley and Peyton]
Mouth: Peyton... Hayley... This is Felix.
Peyton: Hi
Felix: How you doing?
Haley: Hi. Nice to meet you.
Felix: [shakes hand] Girl you are totally fine
Haley: [laughs] Dude I'm totally married
[holds up hand]
Felix: Really?
Haley: Yeh
Felix: Who's the father?
[Nathan walks up behind Hayley]
Nathan: [to Felix] Little close aren't you?
Felix: [laughs] Oh, guess its you.

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: Beyonce.
Peyton: Jack Black.
'Mouth': Brooke Davis.
Brooke: [Lucas and Peyton laugh] Well!

Derek: Good to meet you, man.
Marvin: What did you say your name was? Cooper?
Derek: It's Derek.
Marvin: Whatever, Felix. You ever been a girl's friend. It sucks. You know what else sucks. New guys.
Derek: My name's Derek.
Marvin: Right. Look if you wanna get on my good side... and you do, stop kissing Brooke! Don't even look at Rachel! And don't move here, cause nobody likes new guys, New guy. What was I talking about?
Derek: You don't like new guys.
Marvin: Oh yeah! Damn new guys.

[rehearsing Hamlet]
Stuart: [as Hamlet, over-emphasizing and facing upstage] Whaaaaat is heeeeee... who's grief bears such an eeeeemphasiiiiisss...
[Mr. Feeny groans]
George: Stop, Mr. Minkus.
Stuart: I answer only to 'Hamlet.'
George: Stop Mr. Hamlet! You're supposed to be facing the audience!
Stuart: Aren't I?
[he turns and almost falls off the stage before Feeny catches him]
George: Hamlet, where are your glasses?
Stuart: Mr. Feeny, they didn't have glasses in the Middle Ages.
George: Put on your glasses and climb into Ophelia's grave!
Stuart: You know, I read an article that Elizabethan English is a lot like American southern. So let me show you a little something I've been playing around with.
[Southern accent]
Stuart: Shazam! Show me what thou't do! Woo't weep? Woo't fight? Woo't tear thyself?
Cory: Oh great. "Ernest goes to Denmark."

Mike: [to Zodiac before being shot] Man, you really creeped us out.

'Mouth': Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, from the stinks of Pickerington where the pirates always suck and the livestock is nervous. I'm Mouth McFadden and sitting with me at tonight's game is Haley James. Haley, how do you see tonight's match up?
Haley: I'd rather not be associated with your lunacy, Mouth.

Brooke: Hey, Mouth.
Marvin: Miss President.
Brooke: I know, it does have a nice ring to it, doesn't it? But you know what? My friends just call me Brooke.
