Welcome to the 24th Scott Brothers Appreciation Thread

This thread is to discuss everything Scott. Okay well mostly just Lucas and Nathan (but sometimes Keith and even Dan too). The real reason we all watch the show.

Brother Quotes

"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." ~ Martin Luthor King

"There is a destiny that makes us brothers: None goes his way alone: All that we send into the lives of others Comes back unto our own."
~ Edwin Markham

"I sought my soul, But my soul I could not see. I sought my God, But my God eluded me. I sought my brother, And I found all three."
~ William Blake

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."
~ Jesus

"To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold — brothers who know now they are truly brothers."
~ Archibald MacLeish

"One man said, "I looked at my brother through the microscope of criticism, and I said, "How coarse my brother is." Then I looked at my brother through the telescope of scorn, and I said, "How small my brother is." Then I looked into the mirror of truth and I said, "How like me my brother is.""
~ Thomas S. Monson

From the mouths of our very own Scotts...

Nathan: This accident might turn out to be a good thing, you know, you can take a break from the game for a while, I wish I had that chance...you can get out...

Lucas touches his hand and wakes up.

Nathan:hey

Lucas: water

Nathan helps him drink.

Lucas: What are you doing here?

Nathan: It's a long story.

*

Lucas: So do you think if Dan had gotton his way, you and I might have grown up together?

Nathan: What would that have gotten us?

Lucas: Well we could have teamed up against him.

Nathan: Or we could have killed each other.

*

Nathan: I actually wish you weren't going to leave...cos you're one hell of a basketball player...and because you're my brother.

Lucas: I'll miss you too little brother.

*

Nathan: So do you regret all that you're my brother stuff now that you're back.

Lucas: Absolutely, you?

Nathan: definately

they laugh

*

Lucas: Is this my apology?

Nathan: No this is Haley's apology, I don't owe you one and you wanna know why? Cos nobody wants to lose you Luke. Not your mom, not Haley, not Keith and not me.

*

Nathan: Look me in the eye tell me i'm wrong.

(he can't do it)

*

Nathan: She was kind of the first girl I had sex with.

Lucas laughs

Nathan: alright laugh it up...it's not funny.

Lucas: you're right it's hillarious

Nathan tackles him

Lucas: hey, hey heart patient remember.

*

Lucas: I'm just concerned man.

Nathan: well don't be Lucas.

*

Lucas: Haley if you get this please call me, it's Nathan, I'm worried about him.

*

Nathan: If you'd stayed in your place on the rivercourt I'd never have met Haley,you ruined my life man...

Lucas: Nathan

Nathan: You'd better watch your back.

*

Lucas: Come on little brother, let's go.

*

Lucas: After my accident I asked you what the secret was to getting back, do you remember what you told me? You said there is no secret...just start shooting one day and deal with the pain... *throws his brother the ball* somewhere along the way it gets easier.

*

Lucas: My brother's been going through a hard time lately, I wish there was more I could do to help him, i mean just gettin along is still kind of new to us, but I guess that's how brothers are, better to each other and worse to each other than anyone else.

I'll Never Tell

By Lucas and Nathan Scott
Written by Bkrstar

Nathan and Lucas unpack in their hotel room. They glance at each other occasionally. Exchange brief smiles. Could this be the beginnings of a tentaive friendship? Only a musical number will tell...

Nathan: This is the guy who I'm sharing a room with
I wish I could whine
My claim to fame was to assault and harass
Jerkdom was mine!
But I laid off of him
Now I kiss Haley instead of Tim
The only trouble is...
I'll never tell...

Lucas: He is the one
Who made basketball not fun
Wish I'd sprayed him with Mace
But now he's all up in Haley's tight --
Embrace! Tight embrace!
So I guess he will atone
And Whitey wants us to get along
But there's just one thing that --
No, I'll never tell

Both: Cause there's nothing to tell...

Nathan: He snores.

Lucas: He wheezes.

Nathan: Say "Nicki" and he freezes.

Lucas: His uniform has a stinky odor that I can't describe.

Nathan: I talk, he breezes.

Lucas: He doesn't know what "please" is.

Nathan: He's always emoting with the squinty eyes.

Both: The vibe, it's kind of scary...

Lucas: Like he thinks I'm ordinary.

Nathan: Like this brotherhood is temporary.

Lucas: Have you seen his back? It's hairy!

Both: But it's all very well, cause God knows I'll never tell!

Nathan: When things get rough he gets really really broody
Now look he's getting broody cause he knows that I know

Lucas: He smirks, he's needy, he's also really greedy
He nev-

Nathan: Nicki is really sleazy!

Lucas: This is my verse, hello?

They break into a dance off! Dance, dance... gradual slowing of dancing, followed by warm looks into each others eyes...

Both: You know...

Nathan: You're quite the baller...

Lucas: You're a little taller...

Nathan: You're sort of like my brother
Even with a different mother
And you'll never know Haley's firm yet supple --
Tight embrace!

A little more dancing.

Lucas: You're ok...

Nathan: I'm better...

Lucas: He'll always be my brother

Nathan: That's why I'll never tell him that I'm petrified

Lucas: I've read this tale; it's kinda like Cain and Abel
And I hope he got his genes from his mother's side...

Both: I lied, I said it's easy
I've tried, but there's these fears I can't quell

Nathan: Is he looking to steal my role?

Lucas: Does he know scoring Haley is my goal?

Nathan: Will our lives become to stressful if Dan's manipulation is successful

Lucas: When it looks like I'm squinting in reality I'm thinking

Nathan: Am I crazy?

Lucas: Am I dreaming?

Nathan: Is this all part of Whitey's schemin'?

Both: We could really scare the team with this brotherhood hell
So thank God I'll never tell
I swear that I'll never tell

Lucas: My lips are sealed

Nathan: I take the fifth

Lucas: Nothing to see
Move it along

Both: I'll never tell!

They collapse in laughter.


NEW Bro-card: "For You" ~ Staind

To my mother, to my father



It's your son or it's your daughter,



Are my screams loud enough for you to hear me?
Should I turn this up for you?



I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you said
The silence gets us nowhere
Gets us nowhere way too fast



The silence is what kills me
I need someone here to help me
But you don't know how to listen
And let me make my decisions



I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you said
The silence gets us nowhere
Gets us nowhere way to fast



All your insults and your curses make me feel like I'm not a person
And I feel like I am nothing but you made me so do something
'Cause I'm messed up because you are
Need attention, attention you couldn't give



I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you said



The silence get us nowhere



Gets us nowhere way to fast.
