Brooke continues, "I mean, are you --" Luke answers, "I'm three months older. My mom got pregnant right after senior year. Dan moved on to Nathan's mom, first semester of college." Brooke: "That must have been really hard for your mom." Pause. "So you two are pretty close." Luke smiles and says, "Yeah. We do a lot of stuff together, we talk and she's really great." And here it comes, the poor little rich girl spiel: "Sounds nice, my parents would rather throw cash at me and send me on my way then spend any time with me." Peyton groans at this moment. Thankfully, that's the extent of her lines in the second half of this episode. Shhh, Peyton; the longer you stay asleep, the less annoying you are. Luke says, "Listen, you can grab some sleep if you want, I'll watch her for a while." Brooke smiles at him and says, "It's okay. I'd rather stay and talk to you if you don't mind." Luke doesn't mind. Hubba. Hubba.
Nathan and Haley are knee-deep in dinner. She's ordered him macaroni and cheese. Aw. That's cute. Nathan teases, "Couldn't your favourite have been lobster or something?" Haley tells him that mac and cheese is the food of the gods. Nathan retorts, "Yeah, if the gods are five-year-olds." Nathan asks if she's ready for the next envelope. Haley tells him to proceed. Nathan reads, "Reveal a secret that nobody else knows about." Haley: "Okay, when I was in second grade, I stole some candy." He's not buying it; he wants her to tell him something for real. She takes a deep breath and tells Nathan that she cheated on a geometry test last year. Nathan's shocked. Man, is it that cold that they have to eat with their jackets on? Haley explains how her mom was sick, that she had to take care of her and didn't have time to study. Nathan asks, "Did you get caught?" Haley replies, "No. But that's not the point, I knew what I had done and it didn't sit right with me." Nathan says, "So you started tutoring." Haley: "Yeah, I guess I thought it would be penance or something. But, turned out I really liked it." Nathan smiles: "I thought it was just to get to me." She laughs.
