Original subtitles

No one else needs to know. You mean Karen.

You know, i was thinking about

this whole "friends with benefits."

Felix with Brooke.

F.w.b.

How many other songs have you written?

I don't know, a few.

All right, well, you're gonna open.

No, I'm not. I have major stage fright.

You're gonna have to get out for this one.

Aw! are you gonna tell me what it was? Maybe.

You're great. Yeah, I know. When do I play?

You're okay,

but we had a lot of really good people show up today,

so...we'll call you.

Andy: i know it's short notice, so, uh, bring Lucas along.

I'd love to meet the little guy.

My brother owns the dealership.

I'm just helping out.

I'm actually a mechanic.

I like mechanics.

Rick: I got a good sense about people.

You're young, but you...

Might be worth the risk.

[ Sighs ] here's your shot, kid.

* I don't want to be anything

* other than what I've been trying to be lately *

* all I have to do is think of me *

* and I have peace of mind

* I don't want to be anything

* other than what I've been trying to be lately *

* all I have to do is think of me *

* and I have peace of mind

* I'm tired of looking 'round rooms *

* wondering what I gotta do

* or who I'm supposed to be

* I don't want to be anything

* other than me

Lucas: Oliver Wendell Holmes once said,

"many people die with their music still in them.

"Too often it is because they are always getting ready

"to live.

Before they know it, time runs out."

[ Chuckles ]

You're still here.

I thought we had an understanding.

Once the hooking-up is over, you go home.

Damn. you can make a guy feel used.

Oh, I'm sorry.

We could just cancel our little arrangement

and save your pride.

No, being used is fine.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

So why don't you get your used butt up out of my bed, pool boy.

I have a big day ahead of me, and you're in my way.

[ Door closes ]

Hi.

I-i think you got the wrong store.

"Forever 21" is just down the street there.

That's Jeff Buckley -- you heard of him?

Who hasn't heard of Jeff Buckley?

That man's the reason that I became a musician.

You know why? Because he never sold out.

Why stop there?

Didn't he also drown in a river?

Listen...

If you want me to play your show,

you're gonna have to ask nicely.

I don't need this. Sure you do.

Why else would you be here at 8:00 A.M. on a school day?

Okay, here's the deal.

The turnout for auditions was kind of low, so if you want --

here's my rider.

What is this?

It's a list of artist demands.

I know what a rider is.

"Chamomile tea"...

"One small vegetarian pizza"...

Oh, "one box Magnum extra-large-sized condoms,"

are you kidding?

The regular ones cut off the circulation.

We got a deal here or what?

You go on at 9:00.

Have fun at school.

Come on, pony up, people.

There's kids in this world a lot more miserable than you.

Thank you. God bless.

Look at this -- "one over-ripe cantaloupe"...

"Two 'number 3' pencils," what kind of rider is this?

God bless you.

Change for the needy?

Brooke, I had no idea you were so charitable.

What's the cause?

Just needy people.

God bless you.

Brooke, i recognize the photo.

It's from an ad for cramp medicine.

Wow, homeless and pms-ing... Poor girl.

Brooke!brooke!

All right. The money's for me.

I'm the needy one, as in I need some things

for your club opening.

Do you realize how wrong that is?

Sort of, but...

What am I supposed to do for money?

Try getting a job.

Right, doing what?

Anything. a number of things. What are your skills?

I don't know. I'm good with guys.

Dates, dating...

Yeah, and...? Sex, but...

That would make you a hooker.

Well...

Thank you.

I'll take you shopping on a budget.

[ Coins rattling ]

Hey, Felix.

Mighty mouth.

You going to the club opening tomorrow?

That's the plan. You taking Brooke?

Nah, I like to alternate my cheerleaders.

This week -- Theresa.

But I thought you and Brooke were together.

It doesn't really work like that.

So she's not gonna be there with anybody?

Not that I know of.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Hey, you.

Hey, you!

You know, I had a great time the other night.

Me too.

Listen, can we talk?

[ Inhales deeply ] that doesn't sound good.

It's not like that, it's just...

I love spending time with you, you know that,

but being dropped in a new place is hard enough

without jumping into a new relationship, too.

You must really hate me.

Stop it!

I'm just saying let's not rush things.

Let's hang out, see where it goes.

Did Felix say something?

No, it's not that. Promise.

Okay -- friends.

...with potential.

Hey, girl! Hi!

Ready for your big debut, rock star?

Please don't remind me. She's ready.

Didn't you once tell me there was such a thing as over-preparation?

Yeah, for a math midterm.

This is avoiding public humiliation.

Hales, you're gonna do great.

Hey.

Saturday night, three bands. Bring your friends.

Adrian tomine fan?

You know his stuff?

Yeah. i love "optic nerve."

Really? wow, a fellow comic-book geek.

Well, closeted. [ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

I'm Anna. I'm Peyton.

You're Felix's sister, right?

On the days that I claim him, yeah.

Oh. [ laughs ]

So how's, uh, Tree Hill treating you?

Okay.

But i-i think someone forgot to give me the secret password.

Yeah, people in this town tend to stick to their own crowd.

At least the guys are cute.

Okay...

Tree Hill rule number one --

people in this town tend to have really complicated histories.

Dan. how you feeling?

Good.

Good, um...

Deb's not in till 4:00.

I came to see you.

Okay.

To apologize.

I was hoping you'd forgive me

for the things I've done to hurt you.

Can I be honest with you, Dan?

You're creeping everybody out.

This Phoenix-bird thing --

this sensitive thing that you're pulling --

no one's buying it.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

But I understand.

Oh, by the way,

Deb said Keith hasn't been hanging around here lately.

I hope it's not because of what happened.

You should know that I've chosen to forgive him.

For what?

For sleeping with Deb.

Oh, I'm sorry, Karen.

I really thought that you knew.

[ Door closes ]

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Speak.

Hey. it's, uh, it's Keith.

Sorry, I know a lot of "keiths."

Could you be more specific?

It's the Keith you kissed the other night.

Nah, you gotta give me more than that.

Uh...

In a convertible on a car ramp at Scott motors.

Okay, that, uh, that narrows it down

to about a half a dozen or so.

[ Chuckles ] you're funny.

Um, hey, look, i know it's last minute,

but, um, there's a club opening tonight.

You wanna go?

Wow, I don't know.

I think I already have a date.

Besides...

Don't you know about the Wednesday rule?

The Wednesday rule?

A girl can't accept a weekend date

if the offer comes after Wednesday.

It's a rule.

You know who follows those rules?

Girls who sit at home on the weekends.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ]

Well, you may be in luck.

I've never been a big fan of rules.

8:00?

Does this melon look overly ripe to you?

Sorry, it's not my area of expertise.

So what's going on with you and Felix now?

Oh, I don't know.

The whole point of friends with benefits

is that there's no strings attached, right?

Right.

Well, lately he's been getting really stringy on me.

And why are we looking for overly ripe fruit again?

Chris' rider.

Basically, I have to get him everything on this list

or he won't perform.

So wait a second.

He makes a list and you have to do everything on it

to get what you want?

Exactly.

Interesting.

Just in time.

Just let me finish here and then we can go upstairs.

You can go upstairs and finish yourself.

I just came by to give you this.

It's a rider -- a list of artist demands.

Peyton told me about it.

What's it for?

Well, yesterday you seemed a little sketchy

on the terms of our agreement,

so I figured I'd clear it up for you.

With a bunch of rules?

Mm-hmm.

And you better follow them if you ever want me to...

Perform at your venue again.

"No sleeping over"...

"No sleeping late"...

"No non-sexual bathing," is this necessary?

You've been getting a little needy.

Needy? mm-hmm.

Please, I have a date tonight. You a okay with that?

[ Scoffs ] item 12.

"No asking if it's okay to date other people."

So we're clear?

Crystal.

That's an odd sight.

What? you thought I'd be blind?

No, I just didn't think you could read.

"500 things a person should see before they die."

I've seen 12 of 'em.

Are you gonna do something about that?

That's the plan. At least until practice starts.

I always wanted to dive with the manta rays in Tobago.

[ Chuckles ]

So, uh, coach...

I turned down "high fliers."

Is there a reason you turned them down or should I even ask?

Well, it's just...

Haley's pursuing this whole music thing.

She's done a lot for me, coach.

It's her turn now.

And me going to camp would just stand in the way of that.

Sometimes marriage is about sacrifice.

Maybe you're not taking a step forward as a basketball player,

but you're taking two steps forward as a man.

Thanks, coach.

Hey!

Oh, hi.

Hi.

I, um, I just dropped by to wish you good luck tonight.

Thanks. you're still coming, right?

Of course, yeah. Okay, good.

Um, I also wanted to talk to you about something else.

Okay.

Um, I know that you and i were never...

An item.

But I thought you should know...

I'd like to, uh...

Bring a date to the club tonight.

Anyone I know?

Her name is Jules. I, uh...

I met her at the dealership.

Is that it?

Yeah.

Good. I look forward to meeting her.

Okay.

Beware of strangers bearing gifts.

Hey, what is that, Andy?

Well, every cool club needs its own t-shirt, right?

So, here you go.

That's sweet.

Oh, Lucas -- that reminds me, i got him one too.

Oh, um...

Keith, this is Andy...

M-my professor.

Nice to meet you, Keith.

Yeah, yeah, you too.

But I want it so bad.

No, it's not in the budget.

If you get the purse, then you can't afford the outfit for the opening.

Screw the opening. I'll stay at home with the purse.

What's going on? You all right?

Yeah, I just feel a little light-headed.

Why?

I sold some stuff.

What stuff?

Some...blood.

Blood?! you sold blood?

Brooke, do you really think it's a good idea?

You actually don't look very well -- kind of pasty.

I'm discount shopping.

I'm gonna have to get used to looking like crap.

And besides, I needed some extra money for the dress.

Which was only 36 bucks.

Shoes...? $18.

Eyeliner to go with the shoes...?

$7.50, which is what, $61.50 with tax?

Please, you have plenty left over for --

alcohol.

We'll stop by the liquor store on the way home.

I really don't think you should be drinking

after you just gave blood.

No, the woman told me to rehydrate myself, and besides,

if I'm gonna be seen in these shoes,

I'm gonna need a drink or two.

Okay, we got the deejay downstairs.

The bar is stocked.

Wristbands?

Uh, they are down front with junk right now.

That's it.

It's out of our hands.

Uh, no, you forgot something.

What?!

To take a deep breath.

Just for a second.

Look around. You guys did this.

And it's great.

Yeah.

Oh, god, w-what if I didn't make up enough fliers.

What if I didn't put up enough,

and then what if nobody shows up outside, and...

Come here.

I don't think that that's gonna be a problem.

[ Gasps ]

* oh, plug me in and turn me on *

* listen here 'cause here it comes *

* I got hot licks on your guitar strings *

* riffs and rhythms and guitar things... *

okay, my thighs are itching, and not so much in a good way.

I think I'm allergic to polyester.

But it's fine. I've had a few drinks.

I should have a few drinks because do you see all these people?

You're gonna be fine.

Hey, Ms. roe, club looks great.

Uh, let's see the wrist, Brooke.

[ Chuckles ]

No alcohol.

Are we clear?

Yes.

Good. now go have some fun.

This is definitely the first time

I've felt like the oldest person in a bar.

Second oldest.

[ Clears throat ]

Oh...andy, this is Peyton.

Peyton, this is my friend, Andy.

Hi. hi. I'll try to keep out of your hair.

You didn't happen to bring little Lucas tonight, did you?

Uh, yeah...

Um...he's wandering around here somewhere.

Great, great. I can't wait to meet him.

Little Lucas?

His words, not mine.

So, what's the story with you and your...

Friend?

You know, I'm not sure how to describe it.

Put it this way, are you two getting...

Peyton.

'Cause if you were, i-I'd describe it as pretty lucky.

He's a fox.

So, how was your other date with the cancellation?

Why, you want to ask him out?

No, I just didn't know you were seeing other people.

Hey, if you're one of them, I'd shut up.

Yeah, that's a good point.

So how's it going, John?

All good. Here you are...

Mr. Scott, plus one. Vip.

Mm-hmm.

Over-21 wristbands...

I didn't know you were so hip, Keith.

Yeah, neither did I.

[ Inhales deeply ]

Karen never said anything about drinking outside of her club.

Hey, Brooke. I like your dress.

No.

So I was wondering if you maybe wanted to do something sometime?

[ Sighs ]

Hey, you want to catch a movie sometime?

Hmm, hey, Theresa. Nice dress.

Um, thanks.

Why does it look so familiar?

Oh, I remember -- 'cause it used to be mine.

Brooke, I asked you before I bought it. You said it was okay.

Well, that's before i knew how your ass would look in it.

Theresa, why don't you go up.

I'll be right there.

I have to check the list,

but I'm pretty sure acting like a jealous girlfriend

is against the rules.

I'm not jealous.

I just figured you would have gone for someone

with a little more class.

Why?

I went for you, didn't I?

[ Dance music plays ]

Hey.

Hey!

I can't do it.

What? i-i can't do it.

Do what?

Play.

At all. I-i have to back out.

And you're telling me this now?

I'm sorry.

It's just all these people, and -- and -- and...

I told you this might happen, okay?

So, please, just don't hate me. I'm sorry. Haley...

You can't do this. You're name's on the poster.

There are people here expecting you to play.

Who's gonna know the difference?

You've already got two acts and a deejay, right?

I'll figure it out.

Okay. but you're gonna have to get on that horse sometime.

[ Dance music plays ]

Hey, Karen.

This crowd -- you must be thrilled!

Try crazy.

Seems like every teenager in the town showed up.

So Andy made it?

I'm still trying to figure out how to introduce him to Lucas.

Uh, uh, well, think fast.

Lucas: yeah, I know -- "kings of convenience."

I just got their album last week. It's great.

You should see them live.

Oh, god, I'll bet.

So how'd you find out about the club?

I'm actually kind of dating the woman

who's responsible for all this.

Really?

You're dating Peyton?

She's got the curly hair, right? Yeah.

The cops would love that.

No, no, no, her name's, um...

Karen. Andy...

Mom?

Mom?

Oh, boy...

Lucas, this is Andy. Andy, this is my son, Lucas.

Uh...

Little Lucas?

[ Scoffs ] i, uh, I thought you were 6.

Not 6'1".

[ Chuckles ] nice to meet you.

Yeah.

[ Dance music plays ]

Oh, hey, there's, uh, someone I want you to meet.

Deb?

Oh, Keith. I was hoping you'd make it.

Jules, this is my sister-in-law, Deb.

Deb, this is Jules, my, uh...

...girlfriend. nice to meet you.

This is my girlfriend, Jules.

Nice to meet you, too.

Thank you. I'll get us some drinks.

Okay. I'll just, uh, take a water.

Two tequilas it is.

[ Chuckles ]

She seems fun.

Yeah, she's really great.

It's nice to see good things happen to you, Keith.

You deserve it.

Thank you.

Previously on "saved by the bell"...

Hey, Chris, this is my husband, Nathan.

Married in high school. Yeah, that'll work.

Peyton told me you bailed on the gig.

Guess I was wrong about you.

Whoa!

Appropriate response. So, ready for our first dance?

[ Inhales deeply ] i don't know.

Are friends suppose to have a first dance?

They are when they have potential.

[ Dance music continues ]

Yo. you want to explain this?

My sister topless? You wanna get that out of my face?

Lucas, just walk away. Please?

Outside...now!

You know, are you out of your mind?

Are you out of yours?

It's because of crap like this we had to move again.

And you know what? I liked my last life.

Aw, great. This again. You want people to talk?

Keep it up.

'Cause they will -- just like the last time.

Just because people say something doesn't make it true, Felix.

Those were rumors.

Yeah?

Well, how do you think rumors get started?

Hey, what's going on, Tree Hill?

Whoo! whoo!whoo!

I'd like to welcome you guys to the opening night of tric.

It's a night we like to call "house of freaks."

You guys ready?

Yeah! yeah!yeah!

Okay, great!

Well, then, please help me in welcoming to the stage

Chris Keller.

[ Scattered applause ]

[ Indistinct talking ]

Hey, p. Sawyer. Hey.

It's your big night. I'm sorry I didn't get you anything.

I'm kind of on a budget. Shh, shh. It's okay.

Singer boy's a fox.

Hey, show us your ti--

uh, here we go now.

[ Talking continues ]

Hey!

You guys aren't ready for this.

[ All jeering ]

Aw, what are you gonna do, right?

Hey, wait a second. What about Peyton?

Tough break.

At least it bets being screwed over by a friend, right?

Sorry, sorry, everybody.

Uh, we just had a little...

I'm not...

Whatever that was, uh...

But while we're sorting it out, the deejay's going to play

and...

How about a free round on the house?

[ All cheering ]

All ages!

Uh, juice! Of juice! Of juice!

Free round of juice.

[ All booing ]

Hey, what are you doing?

Not playing. Why?

Because playing to a bunch of mall rats

who hate anything they can't pogo to

ain't what Chris Keller's about.

Also, it would have been nice to know

that you talk about yourself in the third person.

Okay, I get it. Curly's pissed.

But look at it this way -- if I hadn't done what I did,

would she be up there right now?

Don't think. Just play.

* it's October again

* leaves come down

* one more year's come and gone *

* and nothing's changed at all

* wasn't I...

So, you're saying you went through all this

just to get Haley up there to play?

Who knows? Chris Keller ain't telling.

*...and you feel

* I don't care if I break down *

* let me fall

* even if I hit the ground

* and if I cry a little...

You did a really good thing for her, Nate.

Nah.

She did it all by herself.

*...just a little

* I've become much too good

* being invincible

* I'm an expert

* at play it safe and keeping cool *

* but I swear

* this isn't who I'm meant to be *

* I refuse to let my life roll o-o-over me... *

hey, Brooke.

I like your dress. Is it new?

Unfortunately, it's discount.

Well, it's hard to believe 'cause you look...

Beautiful.

[ Scoffs ]

Why can't guys be more like you, mouth?

I mean, you're loyal, sweet.

You got my Dollhouse back for me.

It wasn't that big a deal.

Yes, it was.

You know what you are?

You are like...

A really great...

...little brother.

*...and face the things that I've been running from *

* let me feel

* I don't care if I'm alone *

she's really good.

Yeah. she's really great.

I got to bring my other boyfriends back

to see her next time.

*...and if I

* cry a little die a little *

* at least I know I lived

* it's October again

* leaves are coming down

* one more year's come and gone *

* and nothing's changed at all

[ cheers and applause ]

All right!

All right, Haley!

Whoo!

Thank you.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I had no idea that was going to happen.

And you don't deserve any of it.

It's cool. Don't worry about it.

Are you sure?

What?

I just wouldn't mind seeing that picture again.

What the hell are you doing to Brooke?

One second.

Is there a problem?

Brooke is back there wasted and alone.

So? so why aren't you doing something about it?

And don't say you don't care because you do.

Otherwise, why did you pay for the Dollhouse?

Look, I don't need you to understand any of it, mouth.

And the Dollhouse is our secret.

Now, if you don't mind, I'm having a crummy night,

and Theresa is about to change that.

Stop it, mouth.

Hey!

You've got a problem with my friend?

Maybe I've got a problem with you.

Yeah, I think you do.

You're lucky.

I'm not gonna do this in here.

That's too bad.

'Cause I am.

[ Dishes clatter ]

Hey! hey! Come here.

Let him go.

Get your damn hands off me.

Wait till i get you outside.

Oh, right. Everyone here's related.

I get tossed 'cause you're the guy's uncle.

No, you get tossed because you're an ass.

[ Sighs ] so, did you have fun tonight, mom?

Sure, if you don't count the part

where my son started punching people.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to ruin your night.

Yeah, well, I didn't mean to screw up your week.

Then again, without the use of your cellphone,

mp3 player, and the car...

It could suck for you.

Trade.

One week. Two, if you complain.

How you doing?

You should see the other guy.

Well, I've got my mom's car, so I'm going to take off.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

But thanks for punching Felix.

I've been wanting to do that for years.

Anytime. [ chuckles ]

Call me tomorrow?

You tell me.

Call me tomorrow.

[ Sighs ]

All right. Well, I'm going to go home, mom.

And don't worry, I'm going straight home.

All right. No street fighting.

Right.

Uh, nice to meet you, Andy.

Yeah, yeah. You too.

[ Sighs ] so I guess that t-shirt I bought him

is going to fit a little snug.

Oh, right -- that.

Why didn't you just tell me, Karen?

I mean, your son's a teenager.

Why do you think that would matter?

Because it matters to me.

Andy, I like you,

but tonight seeing you sitting there with Lucas --

it just seemed so normal --

like friends.

So?

Well, see, that makes sense to me.

Look at us.

I mean, does this picture look right to you?

Yes... to me it does.

But I think the, uh...

The more important question is...

Does it feel right?

That feels good.

Yeah. yeah, it does.

The rest doesn't matter.

Good night.

Thank you.

Thank you, guys.

Oh, thanks so much.

Predictable sappy ballad. How's it feel?

Uh, great till you just dissed me.

No, look, you've got a good sound.

And watching you tonight,

I could definitely see us doing something together.

Really?

Yeah, I never joke about music.

Here's my number. I got some studio time coming up.

Oh, wow. Okay.

Oh! I just remembered thud magazine

wanted me to do an interview with them.

It's probably going to take a little while.

No, it's cool. This is your night.

Go, enjoy, and I'll see you at home.

Are you sure? Yeah, I gotta work early tomorrow, anyway.

Okay. I love you.

Thanks.

Do you have any idea how many guys in the room

want to nail your wife right now?

[ "Proof" by I am kloot plays ]

Good night, Brooke.

I love you.

Hey.

I was just checking on her.

She's fine.

You like her, huh?

Yeah.

But guys like me don't get girls like her.

Guys like you don't care.

That's not true.

Look, man...

I owe you an apology.

Friends?

Just treat her right.

Felix.

Hey, girl.

You're a mess.

You took care of me?

Yeah.

Sometimes you got to break the rules.

So, how'd we do?

Well, it's a little early for exact numbers,

but a few thousand nights like this, and I think we can retire.

Oh, works for me.

Uh, Deb, I need to ask you a question.

Of course.

I mean, it's stupid

and considering the source, i shouldn't even ask.

I probably don't even have the right to ask.

Karen, we're friends.

Right.

Yesterday, Dan told me that you slept with Keith.

Is that true?

No, of course not.

Well... that date had everything --

good conversation, dancing...

Fisticuffs.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that part.

So, I was thinking...

You called me your girlfriend tonight.

Yeah.

Well, if we were exclusive,

just you and me,

would you be okay with that?

I'd be great with that.

Good. me too.

So what do you say, boyfriend?

Want to sleep over?

Oh, boy.

* ...Someone's ringing my bell in a room without a view *

* hey, heard you read another book *

* should I take another look?

* who am I

* without you?

So, hell of a night, huh?

Yes, I'm still shaking.

Thank you so much for everything.

And I'm sorry about earlier.

No, dude, you totally redeemed yourself

after indie boy flaked on me.

You ready to get out of here?

Yes, but I gotta clear out some stragglers.

Hey!

Relax, they're cool.

In fact, Peyton and I did a couple lines the other night.

Isn't that right, Peyton?

What do you want, Felix?

You like my sister?

You know I do.

Too bad. Stay the hell away from her.
