Jake: What do any of us know about anything?
- Jake: Fear changes everything.
[Gives Lucas the book "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand]
Jake: Just remember, don't let him take it.
"Are You True? (#1.3)" (2003)
- Jake: [to Lucas] So the hazing begins. Right on schedule.
[Smells the air]
Jake: Can you smell the desperation?
- Jake: Luke, the guys on the team, they're in a tough spot. Because of the suspension, most of these guys are younger, and they're not going to stand up to Nathan. It's not right, but that's the way it is.
Lucas: Yeah well, the way it is, doesn't work for me... and it doesn't work for my friends.
Jake: Yeah, I know, but that's kind of why I came here. This thing could get really messy if someone doesn't take the high road. And I know this is not my place to ask, but I was just hoping that you could rise above it.
Lucas: I don't think I can do that.
Jake: Okay. Just know that if you do... the team's gonna come around. They'll see you're a good guy and a hell of a player.
Lucas: And if I can't?
Jake: Then I got your back.
- Jake: Fear changes everything.

"To Wish Impossible Things (#1.18)" (2004)
- Nicki: I got the cutest little stuffed animal.
Jake: She has a purple monkey that she can't sleep without. Anything else, she ignores... Got the wrong formula. She needs a special kind because she wasn't breastfed. The alcohol in these wipes are bad for her skin. I buy her a special vitamin because she was a little underweight at her six-month checkup. She doesn't read. She sure as hell doesn't smoke. Oh, well look, at least you got the most expensive kind of ice cream.
Nicki: I got that for you. 'Cause on our third date you said all that you needed for life to be good was a pint of this ice cream. I want your life to be good, Jake. I want to be with that boy that told me those things. Where did he go?
Jake: You left him. Damn it, Nicki. It's not fair for you to come back here and do this. It's not fair to me, and it's not fair to Jenny.
Nicki: I still love you, you know?
Jake: It's funny. I can't tell you how many times I spent wondering when I was gonna hear you say that again. Just hoping that the next time the phone rang it'd be you calling to say those words.
Nicki: Jake -
Jake: And now that you're here, I... I can't even remember why I needed to hear them. You should recognize this next move, Nicki. You perfected it. It's called turning my back and leaving you behind.
"Unopened Letters to the World (#2.15)" (2005) Jake: [to the Time Capsule] So, I'm a single father, and until recently a high school dropout, and I'm going on the first date since my daughter was born, aren't I a great catch or what?
"The Tide That Left and Never Came Back (#2.22)" (2005)

"Everyday Is a Sunday Evening (#3.20)" (2006)

Jake: Yeah. Well, I've been dating Shakira most nights, but she doesn't really know about it.
- Jake: (to Peyton) I'm telling you, you got to watch out for those musicians.
- Jake: Did you know that Savannah is literally built on the dead? They placed cemeteries all over the city, and then as it grew they just kind of built on top of them.
Peyton: Great. I can't wait to go to bed tonight.
- Jake: (to Peyton) There's this on-ramp that I pass every day on my way to work. Every day I think, I could get on that on-ramp, and I'd be in Tree Hill in 6 hours, 24 minutes. And I'd be with you. But I'd be without Jenny. And I can't do that.
- Jake: (to Peyton) You know, um, I wasn't entirely honest with you, before.
Peyton: About what??
Jake: The reason I came back.
Peyton: You said you were tired of running.
Jake: Yeah, but that's not the only reason. See, the whole time that I was gone, I kept... thinking about all this stuff that I should have done when I had the chance, but didn't.
Peyton: Well, like what kinda stuff?
Jake:I don't know. Mostly being with you
Jake: So, I’m seeing this girl and I think our experience levels are a little different, you know, but even so, I’m doing something with her that I’ve never done before; I’m falling in love."
