- Nathan Scott: You think I'm afraid of you? I'm not afraid of you. You can take my world, you can take my life, but you won't get my fear. I'm not afraid of you and I'm not going to be.
- Brooke Davis Baker: I have two children, boys. They have their entire lives ahead of them. Just like my friend Quentin Fields once did. Like Xavier Daniels once did. I hope that when they're adults they'll believe in redemption and rehabilitation. I hope they'll believe in forgiveness. Because I do. I just don't believe in it for Xavier Daniels. I don't believe he's changed. I don't believe he's sorry. And I don't believe he's paid for his crimes. He is an angry, hateful, violent human being. And I'm sorry, but it would be a mistake to release him. I won't feel safe, and neither should any of you. Can he change? I hope so. But has he? No, I don't think he has. And I don't think he will.
