Lucas: Look, Brooke, I need you to listen to me. Okay I understand that you didn’t know about the kiss and I’m sorry for springing it on you but I meant what I said, it didn’t mean anything.
Brooke: A kiss always means something.
Lucas: Okay maybe you’re right. But it wasn’t a romantic moment and you would know that-
Brooke: If what? I was there. As you so sweetly pointed out at the party, the party I threw for you, I wasn’t there. Was I?
Lucas: Is it impossible for you to forgive me? I forgave you.
Brooke: For what?
Lucas: For sleeping with Chris Keller.
Brooke: And you know what Lucas? I loved you for that. You had such grace in that moment that I fell in love with you all over again. I can’t believe that you would use it now as a bargaining chip.
Lucas: No, I’m not. I’m not. I jsut need you to trust me and believe me when I tell you that my heart is with you but a part of me feels that ever since we’ve gotten back together you’ve just been waiting, waiting to push me away.
Brooke: Oh great. You kiss Peyton, again. And I’m pushing you away. God, why did I make everybody identical purses as wedding gifts?
Lucas: I love you Brooke. I don’t how else to say it.
Brooke: How about how you show it. I am not pushing you away Lucas. I am holding on for dear life, but I need you to need me back. Okay why wouldn’t you tell me about the kiss, and why didn’t you call me while you were away, and why won’t you ever just let me all the way in. We have to go and give our toasts now, about love.
Lucas: Please don’t be mad, Brooke.
Brooke: I’m not mad Lucas. I’m not mad.One Tree Hill 3.22 - “The Show Must Go On”
