I Luv DC...its the best show in the whole WORLD!!!


I just happen to understand everything in this show it feels like its my own life...so the quotes just get to me...
and also I want so badly to have a boyfriend like pacey but what girl in there right
mind doesn't...I thought I had but well things happen~>>..and sorry they aren't in any order

JOEY: Dawson, the last year of my life has been like this wide-awake nightmare of conflicting emotions.
But no matter how bad it got, one thing kept me going. Us. Our bond, our connection,
whatever you want to call it. It made me feel like I wasn't alone, like I was part
of something special. So I'm not whining about being friends or not being friends. It's just that...
for the first time in my life... I'm not feeling that connection anymore. And it scares me.

Jen: So what would you do?
Joey: The same as you. I'd get hurt... I'd get mad... I'd get confused. I'd ask people for advice.
Maybe the wrong people. And then I'd wait... For him to come around.
Jen: And how long does that take?
Joey: Oh, don't go by me. I'd probably be stupid enough to wait forever.

Joey: I thought that this is what I wanted. For you to see me as beautiful.
For you to look at me the way you look at Jen. But the truth is,
that's not really what I want at all. I want you to look at me and see the
person that you've always known and realize that what we've had is so much more incredible
than just some passing physical attraction. 'Cause you know what Dawson? It's just make-up -- and hairspray
-- and tomorrow I'll be back to being Joey. Just Joey. The too tall girl that lives on the wrong side of the creek.
Dawson: Joey, give me a minute here. This is -- this is all new to us and we
should talk about this because, I mean, we can't just go back to things the way they were.
I mean this is out there now -- forever, and, it's huge -- and whatever happened here,
we can't take it back -- ever. I mean, we have to face this and even though I don't quite know how --
Joey: -- you've had a lifetime to process your feelings for me, Dawson. I can't spend the rest
of mine hoping you might throw a glance in my general direction between your tortured teen romances
with whatever Jen Lindley rolls into your life next.

I'm gonna give you that space that you need. Just space. But that isn't going to change my
feelings about you. Nothing will ever change that.
---Dawson

Fasten your seatbelt; it's going to be a bumpy life.
---Joey

Not everything in life has to be so complicated.
---Jen

On the remote of life, the rewind doesn't work.
---Joey

Dawson, relax. Don't worry about it. It's all gonna blow over and you're gonna move onto bigger and better problems in no time.
---Joey

Mrs. Leery: When are you gonna stop punishing me?
Mr. Leery: When it stops hurting.

I'd like to tell today's youth that...no matter where life takes you, Big cities, small towns...
You'll never come across small minds. People who think they are better than you are, People that think that
material things, or being pretty or popular Automatically makes you a worth while human being.
I'd like to tell today's youth that none of these things matter unless you have a strength of
character, integrity, a sense of pride...And if you're lucky to have any of these...
Don't ever sell them...Don't ever sell out. So, when you meet a person for the first time,
Please don't judge them by their station in life. Cause who knows...
That person just might end up being your best friend.
---Joey

I'm a firm believer in sometimes it's right to do the wrong thing.
---Pacey


You could tell me why you've been avoiding me all day, or what's behind that look in your eyes.
Whether it's repulsion or jealousy or complete disapproval cause I know I've never seen it from you before.
You could tell me that you suddenly feel strange about us, that maybe we need a little break
cause you don't seem to know me and maybe you never really did.
Or, and now I'll make it really easy for you Dawson,
you could just tell me if I've left anything out. (pause) I didn't think so.
---Jen

Mr. Potter: Dawson, wait, please. Tell me about her. Tell me about my daughter.
Dawson: What do you want to know?
Mr. Potter: Anything...everything.
Dawson: She's great. I mean, she's...she's smart. She's beautiful. She's funny.
She's a big 'ol scaredy cat. If you creep up behind her, she'll jump out of her skin.
It's pretty amusing. Um, she's honest. She always calls 'em just like she sees em.
You can always count on getting the truth from Joey, even if the truth hurts. She's stubborn.
We fight a lot. She can be so frustrating sometimes. But she's a really, really good friend...
and loyal to a fault. She...she believes in me. I'm a dreamer, so, I mean,
it's so good to have someone like that in my life. God, if she ever goes away,
I don't know what I'm going to do. I mean, she's my best friend, you know, she's...
she's more than that. She's everything.

Joey: Hi. I don't really know what I'm doing here, I...that's not true. Um, look...
I came here tonight because...I wanted to tell you that you messed up. And not because
you-you broke the law or you got caught or you left me without a father.
You messed up because you don't know me. I'm your daughter and y-you don't know me at all.
So...I guess I just came to say that...I'm alright. I turned out pretty good.
And I'm gonna be okay. No help from you. And, um...I just had one question. Do you love me?
Mr. Potter: More than you'll ever know. And I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Joey: Do you think about me?
Mr. Potter: Sweetheart, all day long, every day, every hour, every minute.
Joey: Do you really love me though? Because I'm fifteen years old, and I go through every
day of my life thinking that nobody loves me.
Mr. Potter: Well, nothing could be further from the truth. And I'm not the only one.
Dawson Leery, he loves you, Joey. He's never told you?
Joey: Never
Mr. Potter: Well he does, I know it.
Joey: How?
Mr. Potter: Because he looks at you the same way your mother used to look at me.
And you love him. Have you told him? You have to tell him, Joey. Don't make my mistake.
Don't wait until someone you love is eaten with cancer and wasting away while you
hold back the one thing they're waiting to hear.

Everything changes eventually. Thats just the way life is. And you have no control over it.
Suddenly people you thought would always be there disappear. People die, they move away, and they grow up.
---Joey

I'm sitting here with my best friend in the whole world, and my palms are sweating.
---Joey

You are so far removed from reality, you can't even see what's right in front of you.
---Joey

"Sounds like you're looking for a Julia Roberts."~Joey
"What I need is a you."~Dawson


"It's not about the perfect setting and it's not about the perfect timing- it's about the perfect person."~Joey

"Thank you."~Joey
"For what?"~Dawson
"For being my friend, understanding me better than anyone and for putting up with me
for the past 16 years. I love you."~Joey
"I love you too."~Dawson


"There are people who give me comfort in my life. When the going gets rough,
as it unvariably does, I can count on them as a shoulder to cry on and they will
pick me up when I fall and hold me in their arms as I cry and tell me
that everything is going to be alright. I am so thankful for these people, they are priceless.
But there's another group of people, just as important and just as priceless. They are the people
who challenge me, who push me to my breaking points, and who force me to muster courage
I never thought I had. Abby Morgan was one of those people.
In her own truth-telling way she gave me strength. I'm a stronger woman because of her,
stronger that I ever thought that I could be. She gave me that gift.
She was one-of-a-kind, there's no one like her...
and she will always hold a special spot in my heart."~Andie (said at Abby's funeral)

"Hearts get broken. Friendships get ruined. Your entire life can fall apart because of one kiss."~Dawson Leery

Joey: You're just looking for conflict. Everything's a potential script to you. Accept your perfect life Dawson.

Dawson: What is up with the sex? That's all anybody thinks about anymore. Sex, sex, sex! I mean,
what is the big deal?
Mr. Leery: Sex is a very big part of who we are as human beings.
Dawson: Does that mean we have to go hump the coffee table?

Jen: Yes, I am a virgin. And how about you, Joey? Are you a virgin?
Joey: Please. Years ago. Trucker named Bubba.

Jen: You know, I really am a cliche, Dawson. In New York, I was movin' fast,
I was movin' really, really fast. So fast I kept stumbling and falling. But here I
feel like for the first time in a long time I'm walking at a steady pace
and I'm afraid that if I kiss you, my knees may buckle and I may stumble and
I don't know if I can handle it now.

Joey: It's not reality Dawson. These movies that you're watching are false images that don't exist outside
the city limits of Hollywood.
Dawson: Not true. They're images grounded in the reality of imagination.
Joey: Did you just pull that one out of your butt or what?

Joey: And what do you want?
Pacey: Actually, something a little sexy would be good. I got a maybe, kinda, sorta date this evening.
Joey: Mmmm, who's the lucky farm animal tonight?
Pacey: What makes a woman horny?
Joey: Your polar opposite?
Dawson: You mean oysters.
Pacey: Right. Oysters. A dozen oysters, Joey. Pack 'em up.

Joey: I'm gonna kill you. One night in your sleep. A slit throat maybe,
or a screwdriver to your temple. Be ready.

Cliff: That's why we gotta give it 110 percent!
Dawson: 8 days a week.
Cliff: Remember how hard we worked this summer? Now is when it pays off.
Dawson: With communal showers.
Cliff: Let's do it for the coach!
Dawson: He likes to watch.
Cliff: Let's go out there and show 'em what we're made of!
Dawson: There's no cliche here.
Cliff: Let's lay it on the line!
Dawson: May I have another?

Dawson: I'm really at the end of my rope right now Jen because all I want to do
is kiss you and I'm afraid if I don't kiss you soon I'm gonna explode.

Jen: The kiss, the kiss. I mean, you've built this kiss up to be such a big deal.
What happens if I'm a disappointment?
Dawson: Never happened.

Jen: Your mother is a good woman.
Dawson: Yeah, you defend her. You would. It makes sense.
Jen: Excuse me?
Dawson: You heard me.
Jen: Yeah I did, and you better clarify yourself right now before I rip your head off.
Dawson: I'm simply remarking who better to understand a woman's need for multiple partners?
Jen: Being that I've slept with half of New York City?

Jen: I finally got caught having sex in my parents' bed. Daddy's little girl,
fornicating right before his very eyes. He still can't look me in the face, but then again,
he shipped me 200 miles away so he wouldn't have to.

Pacey: I'm already jealous of every guy who's ever been in your field of vision,
who's known the smell of your hair, who's held your body against his.

Dawson: It's funny. That woman looks familiar.
Joey: I know what you mean. If you brushed her hair out of her eyes a little…
Dawson: And maybe sat her behind a big school desk
Joey: It could almost be
Both: Miss Jacobs!

Dawson: I was shooting some pickups at the ruins with Jen and we accidentally left the camera running when
we ran out. And the rest is pornographic history.

Joey: So if you're thinking of tracking him down, just look for the guy with the
brown hair and throbbing neck muscles.

Pacey: Uh, hey Dawson, I think, ah, I think I should get to take a look at that tape.
Dawson: Sure, we'll arrange a private screening for you.
Joey: Yeah, so you can pull out the bishop in privacy.
Pacey: You know that's really clever how you turn all that sexual repression into humor.
Pacey: Hey Dawson, don't forget man, I wanna see that tape!
Joey: Pervert.
Pacey: Prude.

Pacey: I got the girl this time, Dawson.
Dawson: What?
Pacey: Yeah. Call it the Law of Averages, call it an act of God, call it whatever you want, but I got her.
Dawson: Who?! Who?! Who'd you get Pacey?
Pacey: Oh man, uh, you know what Dawson, I don't know how to tell you this.
But uh, the guy with the brown hair and the throbbing neck muscles? The guy with Tamara Jacobs?
Uh, that...that's me.
Dawson: I don't think there currently exists a word to describe my reaction.

Jen: Okay. Honesty right? Look, my parents didn't exactly send me up here to help Grams.
They sent me up here because the cliches about teenagers in the big city are true.
Dawson: What cliches?
Jen: Oh c'mon, you've heard them. Uh, they grow up too fast, stay out too late,
hang out with the wrong kind of people, have sex too young.
Dawson: And your parents wanted to get you away from kids like that?
Jen: No Dawson, I was kids like that.
Dawson: The sex part?
Jen: Yeah.
Dawson: Boyfriend right?
Jen: Yeah, but not just to him.
Dawson: Okay, so all that stuff you said about being a virgin before, I should probably disregard that.

Dawson: I'm mad at the world Joey. I'm a teenager.

Bessie: Did you know the average gestation period for the fruit bat is two months?
Two months! That's fair. That's reasonable. Why can't I give birth to a fruit bat?

Pacey: Look at me. Here I am, a C+ student who sits in the back of
Miss Jacobs' English class every day daydreaming about the same thing. About what it would be like to
be a little better looking, a little more sophisticated, and about 15 years older. 'Cause then and only
then could Miss Jacobs possibly look at me as anything other than just another one of her students.
And only then could this rumor stand any chance of being true. I mean don't get me wrong,
I'm real flattered with the seriousness that you took these allegations but you know personally,
I'd always just kinda chalked 'em up to adolescent fantasy. I kind of expected you guys to do the same.

Tamara: I meant us ending was inevitable. Hey, maybe you'd graduate. Maybe I'd meet someone my own age.
God, maybe you'd meet someone your own age.
Tamara: I'm 36 years old and I want to have children before it's too late.
I mean I want to be their mother, not their girlfriend.

Bessie: One hospital with one ambulance and no doctor within 30 miles. Another of the hidden joys of livin' in the middle of nowhere.

Dawson: How's your nose.
Pacey: Broken, thanks.

Jen: Well we can't all be like you Abby, having your little ecstasy
gang bangs on the floor of the boy's locker room.

Dawson: You kissed my girlfriend.
Jen: It was a dare, Dawson.
Pacey: Thank you.
Dawson: You guys were totally into it.
Jen: Well I wasn't. No offense.
Pacey: None taken.

Dawson: Okay, that whole Oompa Loompa thing.
Pacey: Oh for the love of God, Dawson.
Dawson: You don't understand, you don't get it. Those two words -- Oompa Loompa -- I hate those words.
It's like every insecurity I have about myself exists inside those two words, all right?
When you call me that, it's like you're exposing me. For not being Mr. Varsity Athlete,
for not being sexually experienced. Look, I'm a virgin, okay? I'm not some big sex-stud like you.
Pacey: At least you have a girlfriend. I got nothin' left.
Abby: You have your hand.

Pacey: Hey, don't talk trash. Recycle.

JEN: Dawson, is that a tree branch or are you just happy to see me

JEN: Oh come on, do you think Dawson's got a pistol or a rifle?
JOEY: You know, taking into consideration his height, weight, feet and hand size, I'd say he's slightly above average.
JEN: Oh, so you have thought about it.

JOEY: Wait a second. You're taking romantic advice from a guy who spent
his evening trying to get three snails to sleep with each other?

BILLY: So, this is really it. You are leaving me for a guy who has an E.T. doll on his bed?
JEN: It's a collector's item.
BILLY: It's a doll.

Pacey: I was surprised and confused...and attracted. And you?"
Joey: Well, confused and surprised..

Pacey: Joey, in the slim chance you would have kissed me, you would have been thinking of someone else huh?

Dawson: Have you talked to Joey?
Pacey: Not since our night of torrid face-sucking
(Dawson gives him a look)
Pacey: What? Just kidding

"Joey, you're not alone. Joey, I'm here for you. I was here for you in the sixth grade
and I'm here for you now, okay...nothing will ever change that. Nothing."~Dawson

"Look, Joey, I've never taken a particular interest in your life, 'cause frankly your life has never been
particularly interesting, but there is one thing I need to know. You're really enjoying the fact that
that Jen's ex is in town, aren't you?"~Pacey

Mitch: Here's the deal. Parent me, child you... Parent me, child you, all right?
Mitch leaves, Joey comes out of the closet
Dawson: He's such a tyrant.
Joey: You handled him very well.
Mitch comes back into the room to see them kissing
Dawson: Joey! What are you doing here?
Mitch: Joey, will you come with me please? What did I just say, Dawson?
Dawson: Tarzan me, Jane you?
Mitch: No, parent me, grounded you.
Dawson: See you in a few seconds Joey!
Mitch: No you won't!

Joey: Oh right, right, right. The man in the moon! Oh! But wait!
Dawson: What?
Joey: It's not a man, Dawson... It's a woman.

Vincent: One night, in New Orleans, I got so drunk... couldn't see straight. I met this woman.
She was beautiful. We went back to her place and, uh, you know, we started getting closer and closer to...
Jen: The moment?
Vincent: The moment. And she tells me she's a he.

Dawson: Joey? Joey, no, I... I love you.
Joey: I love you, too, Dawson.
They are about to kiss... but Joey walks away...
Dawson: Wait, but how can it be over? We can't just say, 'I love you' for the first time and have it be over!
Joey: I have to go, Dawson. Goodnight.

Chris: You dog! This wouldn't have anything to do with question #16.
Andie: #16? I don't get it.
Chris: Yeah, we blew right past it, but I think we should read it again aloud. What do you say, Pace.
Pacey: Chris...
Chris: Come on. Stop it. I'm dying to know. What'd you put for 16, Witter? Let's just put an old rumor to rest right now.
Pacey: Is there anything redeeming about you other than your house.
Chris: Ouch.
Andie: Okay, will someone please tell me what you guys are talking about? Okay, I'll look it
up myself. Um, 16: "Have you ever had sex with someone...twice your age?" Huh? It's a joke, right.
Chris: Well, it's true after all. Witter laid the pipe with Miss Jacobs.
I don't know whether to congratulate you or fall off my chair.

Pacey: : Want a bite?
Joey: This is your solution?
Pacey: What are you talking about?
Joey: You're leaving?
Pacey: : Uh-huh.
Joey: Just when things get tough you're gonna pack up and leave?
Pacey: That's the general idea, yeah.
Joey: Oh, real mature, Pacey.
Pacey: Well what do you want me to do? Sit around all summer and watch from afar
as you and Dawson attempt to resuscitate your ailing relationship. No thanks.
Joey: Well, I expect you to at least say goodbye.
Pacey: : Oh, yeah, the goodbye scene. I've played that one over a thousand times in my head.
I come to you, heart in hand, and announce my plans. You look at me, pained,
but then of course, the Potter sarcasm kicks in and I leave never getting what I came for.
Joey: What is that, Pacey?
Pacey: You never asked me to stay. Ever.
Joey: That's not my decision.
Pacey: Yes it is. It always has been. You may be too afraid to make it but lets
be honest with each other here, the decision to be together or not be together has always been yours.
Joey: All I asked for was time.
Pacey: And that's exactly what you got. And you're gonna get three more months of it.

Jack: Don't tell me they made you a cheerleader
Jen: Oh no.
Jack: Thank god.
Jen: Mm..They made me head cheerleader.

Ohhh,Dawson,my fine oblivious friend.one of these days,you're gonna have to take a gigantic fact
check,my friend.Alright,She didn't mistake you for anybody,okay?This girl is head in the
clouds,100 percent ass-backwards in love with you alright?
-Pacey

Jen: Billy, what the hell are you doing here?
Billy: Is that how you greet the love of your life?
Jen: Look, I'm sorry. Ah, hello Billy, please leave.

Andie: Yes it's true. I had a brief flash of maybe feeling I didn't possibly hate you. Hmm.
But it will pass so there's no need to get a big head or anything.
Pacey: So you think it'll pass?
Andie: It may pass. It most likely will pass. Unless...no. It will definitely pass.
In fact I think it just did. Yep. Hmm. There it went. It's gone.

Andie: "What are you doing here?"
Pacey: "Just picking a few things up."
Andie: "In the umm, condom section?"
Pacey: [stammering] "I had no idea! Tis is very odd don't you think? I mean,
you don't think this is a sign like the love gods are trying to help us out or--"
Andie: "No I think that would be you."

Pacey: Please don't make me eat dinner with the Stepford family.
Joey: Uh oh, trouble in paradise? I guess I can scrape something up. I think I saw some rat droppings behind the oven.
Pacey: Great, I'll take 'em. Toss 'em in the microwave, warm 'em up, you know...
Joey: That was weird. For a second there, I was overcome with this wave of sympathy for you
..it'll pass.

JOEY: I can't believe you, Pacey. Just when I think I have you all figured out,
you do something like this... something outrageous, something that challenges me in a way no one else
would even think of. And in case I don't say it enough. Thank you.
PACEY: Well it's about time, Potter.

Dawson: All I've been thinking about lately is how much I want to take back our first kiss.
How much I would pay to just let you climb through that window. I mean, who knows what
would have happened? Maybe we'd still be best friends. Maybe you'd even still have a thing for me.
I just know that I wouldn't be hurting like this. But then I think about everything
that kiss brought into my life. What it was like to look at you and know not just
what you were thinking, but also what you were feeling because I was feeling the same thing,
and then it's worth it. It's..worth all the pain that I'm going through. I want to regret
kissing you, Joey, but I can't. It was the smartest decision I ever made.

Joey: Dawson, the 2 times I feel in love, on the test, they were both you.
I mean, the first time I fell was for my friend, the Dawson I grew up with,
the boy across the creek, and the second time was after we kissed. I mean,
you became this whole new person to me and....I fell in love all over again. I mean,
just because we're not together anymore does not change my feelings for you, Dawson. It's me I'm unsure of.

Dawson: Joey, I'm going to give you that space. No hostility, no underhanded comments, just space.
But that doesn't change the way I feel about you. Nothing can change that.


Joey: You got me. We did it. All day, all night, 24-7. Are you aware that there
are at least 38 known differing sexual positions. And 42 if you're flexible enough.

Dawson: You do not choose your love, it choses you.

Pacey: Who would've thunk that me and Joey Potter would end up together?
Gretchen: Um... me.

Pacey: Gretchen!
Gretchen: Hey, Nice hair, loser! Come give your big sister a hug!

"Well, she made her choice, Dawson. You're it. You got what you wanted." --Pacey
Andie: (trying to read a map) Grams, we've been driving for hours. His bus could be anywhere by now.
Jen: Yeah, we could have missed him.
Grams: You cannot miss a giant gray bus filled with high school football players.
(She spots the bus at a rest stop) Like that one right there.
Jen: Where? Oh, my God.
(Grams floors it and they pull into the rest stop with a screech of tires Jen quickly gets out and begins the frantic search for Henry)
Jen: Henry? Um, Henry? Henry Parker? (She runs toward the men's room) Hey, Henry? Henry Parker.
(brushes aside people) Come on, outta my way, come on. (reaches the door to the mens room)
Henry, you in there?
(the door opens and a man emerges and restrains Jen)
Man: (speaks quickly) Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! You can't go in there! What, have you lost your mind?
Jen: Well, quite possibly, yes, I might have lost it. (she spots Henry and runs toward him)
Henry, nine months ago you paid to kiss me and I was too dumb to realize what that
meant or what you were really offering me, but...but I know now. It means that there really
is such a thing as a second chance and that no matter how old or how jaded you
are when you meet the person you are supposed to be with everything is going to be new,
a sunset, a cheesy love song, and especially sex. (the guys cheer) Henry, I'm the reason we didn't have sex after prom.
(fellow football players gather around the couple)
Henry: Trust me, I know.
Jen: Not because I was mad at you but because I was more nervous than you were.
I have been with guys before but I have never been with anybody that I loved,
and in that way I am more of a virgin than you could ever be. (The guys all laugh)
Henry: (looks around, embarassed) Thanks a lot.
Jen: Come on, what do you care? Come here.
(they kiss to the cheers of the guys and the smiles of Grams, Jack and Andie the chant of Henry, Henry goes up)

(Wedding reception Dawson taps a fork against his champagne glass to get everyone's attention so he can make the toast)
Dawson: The first time my parents got married they were very young. They were just out of college,
and um, I remember looking at the photo album as a kid and wondering why I wasn't in
any of the pictures. It's hard when you love someone that much to imagine them having this entire
life that you weren't even there for. And I have to say that uh, being here today,
experiencing this firsthand, finally getting to be in all the pictures, I wouldn't trade this for anything.
Cause I'd much rather be a part of what you guys have now than what you had then.
That point where everything is forgiven, and I think that's what love really means. That you can forgive anything.
So, to my parents. Who taught me that love does not conquer all, that love ends and begins again. Cheers.


Dawson: Thanks.
Joey: What you said, did you mean it Dawson?
Dawson: Every word. Which is why you should turn around and go. To Pacey.
Joey: What?
Dawson: Last year you had the opportunity to go to Paris and study and because of me, you didn't.
Joey: Dawson, that wasn't your fault.
Dawson: Yes it was my fault. Because I should have made you go. But I was selfish, and I didn't want you to go. I wanted you to stay here with me. And I refuse to make that mistake again.
Joey: Well, Dawson, I mean, what if it's my choice? What if I want to stay?
Dawson: Joey, come on. Even I can see it. Pacey is this year's Paris. And this time, you have to go. You have to see for yourself, all right? I can stand here and tell you that it's a colossal mistake and that all roads lead back to me but that's not gonna make any bit of difference. Words and speeches sound great, but they don't add up to anything. All that matters right now is what you want.
Joey: I don't even know what I want, Dawson.
Dawson: Yes you do. You want him. You want him like I want you. You love him like I love you. (Joey begins to cry) The only difference is he loves you back the same way. And you deserve that. O.K.? And I'm not going to be the one who stands in the way of you getting that. You're free. You can do whatever you want.
Joey: But Dawson, I want us to still be friends and I want to know that you don't hate me
Dawson: They're just words, Joey, They're just words, cause after you're done dispensing your pleasantries here you're going to turn around and you're going to walk away from me, aren't you?
Joey: I have to, otherwise I'll never know...
Dawson: Stop.
Joey: But Dawson
Dawson: Jo, go, I'm telling you. Before I take it all back. All right? Just go. Go!

Joey: (yelling) Pacey! Pacey! Pacey! Pace! Pacey!
Pacey: (walks down the pier behind her) You want something, Jo?
Joey: I want to talk to you.
Pacey: No, No. A bit late for this now. I'm leaving. You can't stop me. Don't even try.
Joey: No, that's not why I'm here.
Pacey: So why are you here? You want to say good-bye again? Maybe you want to rub it in a little bit, huh?
Joey: Look, I don't want to stop you, Pacey. And I don't want to stop Dawson, and I don't want to be stopped, not by either of you, not by anyone. See, I mean that's what this whole year has been about. We've been trying to stop each other from moving on and from growing up, but not you. You're different. And you've challenged me every step of the way, and you've been there every step of the way.
Pacey: Jo, departure time is in T-minus 30 seconds so if there's a point, I suggest you get to it. (he steps aboard)
Joey: I think I'm in love with you.
Pacey: (pauses) You think, or you know?
Joey: I know. I've known it since the moment you kissed me and maybe even before that, and scary as it is I don't want to deny it anymore, Pacey. I don't want to run from it and I don't want to let it run from me.
Pacey: So, what are we gonna do here, Jo?
Joey: I wanna come with you.
Pacey: What? Are you crazy?
Joey: I wanna stop standing still. I wanna move forward. I wanna come with you.
Pacey: What about Bessie and the B&B? They need you.
Joey: Not as much as I need you, Pacey.

Joey: I've been meaning to ask you something all night, Pacey. (holding out her hand) Would you like to dance with me?
Pacey: (standing and taking her hand) Yes.
(they move out onto the dance floor and begin to dance) Pacey: (speaking in almost a whisper) How come this feels so right?
Joey: (smiles) I think it was those dance lessons. (they share a smile Andie sees Pacey and Joey dancing and stops dead)
Pacey: (placing his hand to her ear) Where did you get those? They're not you.
Joey: Why? Because I'm just a poor tom-boy, or because Dawson gave them to me?
Pacey: Neither. (taking her wrist which has a bracelet on it) You see this? This is you. It's not showy, or gaudy... it's simple. Elegant. Beautiful.
Joey: It's my mom's bracelet.
Pacey: I know.
Joey: (surprised) How do you know?
Pacey: Well, because you told me. Six months ago. You were wearing that, uh, blue sweater, with the snowflakes that you have. You were walking down the hallways at school, I was annoying you as per usual. You said, "Look, Pacey, I just found my mother's bracelet this morning, so why don't you cut me some slack?"
Joey: You remember that?
Pacey: (whispers in her ear) I remember everything.

Andie: You can't just leave without letting her know. I mean, that...that's not like you. You just don't just stand and let things happen and you don't run away either. You have to tell her that you love her. (tearful) And you have to try to get her back. Because if you don't, I promise you, you will regret it.
Pacey: Maybe.
Andie: (with conviction) No, Pacey. You will.

Gale: Just this. (she gets down on one knee) Last night you asked me to define this relationship, and I wasn't ready to do it.
Gale: I had just been so afraid of screwing up. Of making the same mistakes twice. But I'm not going to let that fear stop us from being together any more. (taking his hand) So, if our fate is to make the same mistakes all over again, then by God, I hope we make some mistakes as well as we did the first time. (Mitch leans forward) Is that a "yes"?
Mitch: Well, you didn't ask me a question.
Gale: (anxiously) You know the question.
Mitch: You know the answer.

"Typical teenage boy... one-track mind." --Jen

Joey: I... I hate this. I hate all of this. God, I hate you for kissing me and forcing me to figure out what it all means, Pacey. And I hate you Dawson, for forcing me to make a choice between our friendship and what I might have had with him. And I hate myself. I mean, I wish we could go back to the way it was, I wish I could take it all back, but I can't. Nothing is worth going through all this. No one person is worth this. Neither one of you, and especially not me.

Pacey: Yeah, you know, avoid public nudity, stay off drugs, try not to murder anybody, the obvious stuff. And one last thing... don't sleep with any of your teachers. Believe me, it never works out as well as you think.
Will: (smiles) Witter words of wisdom. Priceless. (pauses) Here's some for you. Don't give up.
Pacey: Give up?
Will: On true love. It always wins in the end.

"Funny thing about friends. They tend to bring you the worst of news, but with the best of intentions. " - Dawson

Jen: She wants to be with you, Pace. She does.
Pacey: And you know this how?
Jen: Told me so this morning.
Pacey: (chuckles then sighs) Why am I not happier to hear that right now?
Jen: Well, Because right now you've gotta walk through that front door and tell your best friend that the only girl in the universe he can't live without-
Pacey: Is the same one that I can't live without. Yeah, I've had this conversation with him in my head with him a thousand times.

Dawson: Having an argument. Obviously. What about? (They're tongue tied)
Pacey: Us, Dawson. (Joey looks at him fearfully and he looks right back at her.) We were arguing about us. Me and Joey, there's an us here now. I'm sorry, man. We didn't want to tell you this way.
Dawson: You didn't tell me.
Joey: (Joey's eyes dart up.) You know, don't you?
Dawson: I know.


Dawson: Well, it's three friends, they grew up with each other. Jeff Bridges is in love with Cybill Shepherd. And she dumps him and breaks his heart and he's devastated. And she's not. (The camera focuses on Joey's hurt face) She just kind of moves on to the other guy and it destroys their friendship and that's pretty much how it ends. Everyone alone, everyone hating each other. (He brightens a little) It's really depressing, actually.
I don't know why I'm watching it. (He turns it off) So what did you wanna talk about?

Joey: Half laughing, half crying I don't know, Dawson. I don't know, okay?
I just know that I- I need him.

JACK'S POEM: Today. Today was a day. The world got smaller, darker. I grew more afraid. Not of what I am but of what... I grew more afraid. Not of what I am but of what I could be. I loosen my collar to take a breath. My eyes fade. And I see... Him. The image of perfection. His frame strong. His lips smooth. And I keep thinking. What am I so scared of... I wish I could escape the pain, but these thoughts invade my head. Bound to my memory, they're like shackles of guilt. Oh God, please set me free...

JOEY: What are you doing here?
PACEY: It's an interesting phenomenon. I got in Dawson's rowboat and it magically drifted to your dock.
JOEY: Magically drift any closer and I'll kill you.
PACEY: I almost believe that.
JOEY: He told you didn't he? Didn't he?
PACEY: What do you think?
JOEY: I think I hate you both.
PACEY: You're gonna hate what I'm gonna say even more. He did the best thing, Joey. You two need to be apart now.
JOEY: How would you know what I need?
PACEY: You're probably right. I'm sure I don't have any idea what you're going through. How hard it is to let someone go. How painful it must be to know that as right as you two are for each other, it doesn't mean you're right for each other right now. I wouldn't know a thing about that. About how it makes you want to scream, or hit someone...or cry.
JOEY: Of all people to see me like this, it had to be you.
PACEY: It's a new year, Joey. You never know, we could even end up friends.
JOEY: Pacey, I'm upset enough as it is.

JOEY (to Pacey): You think because you were together, what she did to you hurts more? It doesn't. There's no difference, Pacey. She's sixteen. And so are you. We talk like we know what's going on, but we don't. We don't know anything. We're really young and we're gonna screw-up a lot. We're gonna keep changing our minds and even sometimes our hearts. And through all that, the only real thing we can offer each other is forgiveness. I couldn't do that. Or at least I did it too late. Don't make my mistake. Don't let yourself be so angry you stop loving. Because one day you'll wake up from the anger, and the person you love will be gone.

JOEY: Once again, Dawson Leery proves the groin is mightier than the brain.

JEN: Look, this thing began as a bad joke, an excuse to get out of biology, but see what I'm turning into? I've pranced around in front of the entire school at pep rallies, without really knowing what the hell pep is! I've listened to clack and prattle about car washes and dogsitting and dance-athons until I swear I'm gonna puke up my homemade Spirit cookies! And despite the itch on my ass that I know I'm getting from this polyester molest-me skirt, I've done it all with a smile on my face. Well, you know what? The smile is gone! Gone, gone. Wave goodbye, Ladies 'cuz I'm sorry -- there is no way that I am gonna be sold off like some harem girl to the highest bidder. No way! Everyone has their limit and I have now reached mine! I quit

PACEY (to Joey): Ever stop to think about how much hormonally charged energy you put into the quick quips and biting banter? Your life would be considerably more productive if you took some, what's that word again, oh that's it -- action.
JOEY: Like voluntary manslaughter.
PACEY: Like sticking out your thumb.
JOEY: Yeah and what else? Hike up my skirt, pout my lips and strike a pose for some horndog trucker? Stick out your thumb you sexist toad.

ANDIE: I slept with another boy. Six months ago! Even then, I knew it was wrong. I tried to explain that to you. How many times do I have to say it?
PACEY:If you wanted to sleep with him -- even for a second -- maybe it wasn't wrong after all. Maybe it was your heart telling you that I'm not the one. Because that's what my heart's telling me now. That you're not the one.

JOEY: What do you actually know about my life these days, Dawson? Think about it. Do you know how I lost my job? How I did on my PSATs? How the Potter sisters are eking out their meager living? And you know what? I don't know one thing about your life right now either.
DAWSON: Joey, I'm sorry if I've been distant. I thought that's what we needed...
JOEY: Dawson, the last year of my life has been like this wide-awake nightmare of conflicting emotions. But no matter how bad it got, one thing kept me going. Us. Our bond, our connection, whatever you want to call it. It made me feel like I wasn't alone, like I was part of something special. So I'm not whining about being friends or not being friends. It's just that... for the first time in my life... I'm not feeling that connection anymore. And it scares me.
DAWSON: Hey, once upon a time, you yourself told me that some love stories never end. What happened to that girl?
JOEY: She offered herself to the boy she loved. The boy she thought loved her back. And he rejected her.
DAWSON: Joey, listen to me: If we are truly meant to be, then we will find our way back to each other. It's as simple as that.

DAWSON: Yeah, but before we do, let me just say that I'm pretty amazed by this little surrogate family we've assembled. 'Cause, I don't know, in a world where the people who raise you only end up letting you down, it's an honor and a privilege to have you guys to turn to.

JOEY: We're all strangers to our parents, Jen. They love us, but they don't really know us. And sometimes before we get a chance to know them, they're gone. And then you can't ask them all the things you want to know about turnips or turkey gizzards or what they were like when they were young. Then you never can know them, not really. Because it's too late.

PACEY (to Dawson): Look at her -- shes a freakin' goddess. How long do you think it's gonna be before some guy, somewhere, notices that and gets interested in her? And what are you gonna do then, my friend? You gonna practice what you preach and let the girl go or dig on in for Dawson's last stand?
DAWSON: I'll figure that out as it comes.
PACEY: Better figure it out quick. Cause this guy, whoever he is, he's not going to be your best friend, Dawson. He's not gonna ask permission. When he wants to dance with Joey, he's just gonna cut right in.

DAWSON: There's this image I keep coming back to. I'm ten-years-old. My mom and dad take me to see "Jurassic Park." There I am, fourth row center, flanked by my parents. And in walks this guy and a girl. Probably our age. They plop down right in front of me... and proceed to make-out for the entire movie. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe that anyone would rather kiss than watch this miraculous fantasy unfold on the screen. At one point, I tapped the guy on the shoulder and he looked back at me, like, "One day you'll get it." Here it is all these years later, and I'm not that guy who goes to the movies and makes out in the balcony, and I'm not that kid who sat between his parents... I'm this third person whos too busy analyzing everything to actually sit back and enjoy the show. I mean those other two guys, at least they're having fun. I'm not anymore. And that is why I dropped film class.

PACEY: And here it is, kids, for the four-hundred and eighty-seventh time this hour, the Top Ten single, "The Ballad of Dawson and Joey." Do you think those crazy kids'll find their way back to each other one day? I sure hope so.
JOEY: Stay out of this, Pacey.
PACEY: Of course. How dare a lowly bottom-feeder like myself tread upon the sanctity of the Dawson/Joey dynamic. It's just so fascinating to watch how you treat him, Potter.
JOEY: And how is that, Dr. Witter?
PACEY: Like he's this weird little neutered virgin creature. Like you're worried he's going to cross some threshold into the real world and leave you behind. And you, unable to take a step without worrying about whether or not she's going to approve.

PACEY: Well... aren't you going to thank me?
JOEY: For what?
PACEY: All manner of things. Defending your honor, bucking the system --
JOEY: Tilting at windmills, while in the throes of a misguided hero complex.
PACEY: -- That too.
JOEY: Listen, Pacey. If I'm thanking you for anything... it's for being yourself. It's for not caring what anybody else thinks. It's for knowing in your own heart what's wrong and what's right. And it's for being there this year... when I needed you most.

PACEY: I've kinda got this problem.
JEN: So I've noticed.
PACEY: Is it that obvious?
JEN: It's starting to be.
PACEY: D'ya think we maybe can still pretend like it's not?
JEN: Only if we pretend to have a conversation about it.
PACEY: You're really gonna make me do this? Okay, okay. Let's make believe I've gotten myself into an impossible situation. Pretend like I've... I'm sorta falling or have fallen for the worst person I could ever have fallen for. What would you tell me to do?
JEN: I'd tell you that any impossible situation is not gonna get any better if you don't do something about it.
PACEY: I have it on good authority that my rough charms don't exactly register on her rarified romantic palate. Lets face it, I've got Duckie written all over me.
JEN: Duckie?
PACEY: You know, Molly Ringwald's little friend from "Pretty in Pink." The one who definitely does not get the girl.
JEN: Yes, but Duckie made the girl feel good about herself. He stood by her through innumerable fashion emergencies, he made a spectacle of himself lip-synching to her in a public place, and he took her to the prom...

JOEY: I can't believe you, Pacey. Just when I think I have you all figured out, you do something like this... something outrageous, something that challenges me in a way no one else would even think of. And in case I don't say it enough. Thank you.
PACEY: Well it's about time, Potter.

PACEY: So you're a smartass? Guess that's why they put us together. People think I'm a smartass too.
BUZZ: But when they get to know you they discover that under the gruff exterior lies a vulnerable beating heart. Get real. I'm not like the kids on "Seventh Heaven" and I'm not like you, Pissy.
PACEY: Pacey.
BUZZ: Whatever, Pissy.

BUZZ: Is she a hottie?
PACEY: I'm not gonna answer that.
BUZZ: C'mon, I'm nine. I got years before I even get near it. Least you can do is cough up a description.
PACEY: She's so beautiful that when you look at her your knees tremble, your heart melts, and you know, without reservation, that there is order and meaning to the universe.
BUZZ: She's a hottie.
PACEY: Oh, yeah.

JOEY: I'm not meant to. Isn't that obvious by now?
PACEY: Because you're sixteen and alone.
JOEY: Because I'm sixteen and in my entire life there's only been two people that have ever really known me. Dawson and...
PACEY: -- This A.J. didn't know you. I don't care how you felt about him. He didn't know you, Joey. Because if he did, he never would have walked away from you.
JOEY: I was gonna say you, Pacey.

ANDIE: You know, I've been thinking about what you guys were saying earlier, about boys being twits. And I think you're right... but there's more to it than that. Cause, you know... sometimes all they have to do is just look at you, with that certain look, that look that says that you are exactly where they want to be... and you feel it too, for them... and you just melt. Like a big blob of ice cream. Even when you don't want to. Pacey used to give me that look. Right before he'd kiss me. Made my knees weak.

PACEY: -- Get in bed, Potter. And while you're there, get over yourself.
JOEY: Get your butt away from me.
PACEY: Potter, my butt wants nothing to do with your butt, okay?

JOEY: Awful. That's how I feel. Awful.
PACEY: You don't think this whole situation makes me feel awful. Tonight, when I kissed you. I never felt happier and worse all at the same time. When I think of Dawson finding out... or Andie... It kills me, Joey. It destroys me to have these feelings. But I do.

JOEY: I just wish I were more like you. You feel things, you act on them... Pacey's like that, too. Fearless.
JEN: I'll let you in on a little secret about the so-called fearless... We're not as tough as you think we are. Pacey's heart is just as breakable as the next guys. Maybe even more so. Considering it was already broken when you got there.

DOUG: Miss Potter, I clocked you going --
JOEY: -- You have a radar gun?
DOUG: Visual assessment. You were going a good five to seven miles per hour below the posted speed limit on this particular Capeside thoroughfare.

JEN: Oww! A piece of crab shell. That's what I need right now, a chipped tooth. It'll keep men away from me for good.
ANDIE: If that doesn't work, you can always join me in the nunnery this summer.
JACK: At least you got to have relationships before they failed.
GRAMS: Good grief, you all sound like a bunch of old ladies!

JOEY: -- That aside, I would like to offer this brick to you as a...
DAWSON: Please don't say symbol.
JOEY: As... an emblematic artifact, representing the foundation of new friendship.
DAWSON: I feel like I'm at the ribbon cutting of a strip mall.
JOEY: Quit joking.
DAWSON: Truth is, Joey. It's gonna take a lot more than symbols to get back what we had. And right now, I don't even know if I want it. We'll just have to take it one day at a time. Ya know?
JOEY: I know.

PACEY: Just one question, Potter. What did you think about the seventh time that you stalled?
JOEY: That I'm never driving stick again.

DAWSON: 'Cause you've helped me through the worst of times, Jen. I'm serious. I've learned so much from you.
JEN: Like what? How to downward spiral your way into young adulthood?
DAWSON: Nope. You've taught me that love can suck. That feelings can change, passion will fade, partners will come and go, but through it all, one thing remains sacred: Friendship. And it's true. Without my friends, this summer would've been a big, black hole of depression for me.
JEN: Ugh. Why do you have to be so goddamn earnest? I mean, it's disgusting really. It makes me wanna drown you in the creek.

PACEY: I'm scared, Jo. I screwed up. I'm not doing very well in school, and you need to help me.
JOEY: That's all you had to say, Pacey. Whatever it takes... we'll fix it. Everything is gonna be okay.
PACEY: How can you be so sure?
JOEY: Because I'm not going anywhere without you.

PACEY: Wait. That's not all. There's something else I wanted to say, too... I know that things between us are pretty much beyond repair right now. And I wouldn't ever presume to try and make everything better with a conversation, so thats not with this is -- but I just wanted to tell you, I wanted to say about everything that happened last spring... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for my part in it. And I'm sorry for the pain I know it caused you. But mostly I'm sorry because I miss our friendship. And however far off it may be, I look forward to the day that we can be friends again. So, until then...
DAWSON: Until then...

JOEY: Do me a favor. When it comes to life and death matters, remember that you're thinking for two.
PACEY: I can do that.

JEN: God, I'm such an idiot. You haven't changed at all.
DRUE: And you have? Please. Your hairstyle, maybe, but people don't change, not that much.
JEN: Yes, they do. They grow up. And they accept responsibilities, and they realize that die-young stay-pretty isn't exactly all its cracked up to be. I don't want your present, Drue.

PACEY: Before you were kicking and screaming, now you want to be carried?
JOEY: Its a womans prerogative to change her mind, Pacey.
PACEY: I thought you were a guy tonight. Guys walk. Come on, number four. On your feet.
JOEY: So you're in love with me, huh?
PACEY: Not right this second. Right now you're just this crazy drunk girl I'm trying to get into the house without waking up all the paying customers at her sisters B&B. But in general, yes.

DAWSON: I've seen how much she loves him. I've seen it on her face. I've seen them kiss. I've seen them hold hands. And tonight, I saw them fighting -- which is something I've basically been seeing every day of my life since the first grade.
GRETCHEN: But not like this?
DAWSON: I think it was actually worse than the kissing.

PACEY: Calm your hormones, woman! Didn't anyone ever tell you "no means no"?
JOEY: I don't think you've ever told me that.
PACEY: Well, I'm telling you now. I'm serious here -- it's time to watch TV.
JOEY: Your girlfriend offers her lips to you in the spirit of teenage lust and you'd rather watch the "E! True Hollywood Story" on Danny Bonaduce for the fourth time?

JEN: Lemme ask you this -- do you want to have sex?
JOEY: Of course I wanna have sex, but the question is -- am I ready? 'Cause I don't know how you know you're ready, people always say "you just know" but maybe that's something people just say but they never really know, and maybe I'm just wasting time waiting for some lightening bolt that's never gonna come?

JOEY: What's wrong? Why'd you stop?
PACEY: Come on, Potter -- every day we make out on this couch and you always stop it at the same point and we end up watching TV for the rest of the afternoon -- I'm just issuing a preemptive strike.
JOEY: And I'm issuing a counteroffensive

PACEY: Twenty-five cent coffee from a machine. Don't get your hopes too high.
MR. MCPHEE: Thank you, Pacey.
ANDIE: You stayed.
PACEY: I didn't have anything else to do, so I thought I'd stick around and bug you.

ANDIE: Thought I knew exactly how to start. Rehearsed it and everything. But now that you're here and waiting and... staring at me... It shouldn't have taken a scheme to get you all here tonight. When my Dad made me the offer to take the rest of the year off, I sat down with a trusty number two and made a list of pros and cons. The pros were obvious, a chance to live in Europe. To get lost for an afternoon in a book that wasn't assigned or down a cobbled street that wasn't on any map. The opportunity of a lifetime, right? But then came those nasty cons. And you know what got top billing? You. The biggest negative was leaving my friends. The ones who supported, consoled and understood unconditionally. But look at us now, we're a mess. Let's talk about why... starting with last week's fiasco. Enough with the blame Jen game. If I don't, you shouldn't. Yes, she had it, but I took it. I got your pity and Jen got your wrath and thats wrong because it was my fault. Don't you remember when we used to look for not run from each other? When we faced problems together -- we weren't the problem? What happened? Pacey... Joey... and Dawson. You guys are so lucky. Do you have any idea how rare it is to have friends who you've known for your whole life? I mean, you have a list of remember whens that date back to the cradle. Please don't underestimate that. There are still memories to create and thats precious. 'Cause in the end you always turn back to who was there at the beginning. And at the beginning there were the three of you. And you two. This... it's inexcusable. One of the things that was keeping me here was the thought that if I left, Jack wouldn't have a sister around. But then I realized, he would. It'�s you. Maybe my leaving... maybe it will remind you that in six months, you all will be, too. Time's ticking. Your lives in Capeside are almost over, do you really want them to end this way? Because the only ones who can decide that are sitting at this table. When I first met you... I didn't know much about friendship... or love. Each of you taught me a lot about both. And maybe by leaving... I can return the favor. Because the thought of it ending like this... like... the way things are right now... it isn't... it's not how I want to remember us. Do you?

JEN: What do you want, Jack? Do you just wanna be angry? Fine. But at some point you're gonna have to tell me how I fix this. 'Cause right now you're both judge and jury and I'm... I'm at a loss. Do you want me to say I'm sorry? I have. I've apologized for making a mistake. For poor judgement. I've apologized for things I didn't even think were my fault. I'm seventeen and I did something stupid, OK? But when someone close to you does something... unexpected. Or... or out of character, you don't just abandon them, Jack. And thats exactly what you're doing.
JACK: I don't believe it. Now you're gonna turn this on me?
JEN: You of all people should know how it feels. And it kills me that you're the one doing it. You might not ever do what I did, Jack, but what you're doing right now?... I would never do to anyone. Especially you.

JOEY: Look, I was going to tell you, Pacey. But I was waiting to see if he'd agree to do it in the first place before starting world war, where are we now, fifteen? If you're upset because I asked him... I did it because it was the question, Pacey. Third grade, Dawson was there when I broke my left arm jumping off Peter Masik's back yard swing. He was there when I came home early from Lake Emandal sleep away camp due to homesick nights. He was present on the horrifying day that I wore my first training bra, and when my mother died he was the first one to walk through the door. He sat next to me for the whole afternoon and never once asked me how I was doing because, unlike everyone else, he knew me well enough to know that there weren't words to describe how I was doing. You can't be angry that I asked Dawson.
PACEY: You don't get it. It isn't the act. It's not that you asked Dawson, it's the question, Joey. "Person who knows you best." When do I get to be that person?

PACEY: You know what I think we're all gonna miss most about you, McPhee? Your overwhelming optimism. The feeling that everything's wonderful 'til proven crap. Maybe you could leave us a touch of that when you go.
ANDIE: It's the least I could do.

PACEY: Remember when you told me that you'd never be able to trust me again? That was definitely among the top five worst moments of my life.
DAWSON: Remember when I walked out of my house and found you and Joey? That was my worst ever. Number one with a bullet.
PACEY: Do you think its possible that maybe, I could prove to you that I could be someone you could trust again, someday?
DAWSON: I'd like to believe it is.
PACEY: I gotta try. Not ready to give up on you.

BROOKS: Why do you want to be a filmmaker, kid?
DAWSON: How do you explain the things you love? You can't. You just do.

JOEY: So you're not... interested in her?
DAWSON: Even if I were, shes not interested in me, so why ruin a perfectly good friendship?
JOEY: Things don't always have to work out that way, Dawson. I mean look at us. After all thats happened. We are... friends. If we weren't, you wouldn't have given me this, and I wouldn't be sitting here telling you to do whatever your heart tells you to do. Because the truth is... Gretchen would be lucky to have you. Night, Dawson.

Pacey: No, it's no secret. And to be perfectly honest, I don't really care where we go or what we do, so long as we do it together.

Joey: You. It's this secret thing I do when I get really pissed off, or confused or angry, upset or sad. I think of you and I immediately feel good inside. I guess its kinda like taking a "good mood" pill or something. And I swore to myself that I'd never tell you that I did that because it is so girly and stupid, and I just told you because... I needed to score major points for not explaining what went down tonight. Or where I've been the past week when I haven't been on this boat.
Pacey:Keep goin.

Joey: Pacey... I wanted to see Dawson tonight not because for four months of my life he was my boyfriend, but because for the better part of my life he was my friend. And as my friend I hurt him deeply. And living with that fact has caused me no small amount of guilt over the past three months. So yes, I have been pre-occupied, and it has made my mind wander, but... my heart? That's a fixed point. (Pacey finally looks at her) Three months riding the open waters couldn't shake it. I'll be damned if I let your insecurities shake it.


Joey: And my heart never left this boat. Its never left you.

Pacey: Well, I should probably start first by saying that you, Josephine Potter, have just wrecked me. In the best possible way, you have absolutely wrecked me. Because you see, I fell in love with you, knowing that there was never any possibility of being with you. Knowing full well that a sizable chunk of your heart would always be wrapped up in our friend, Dawson. And that much was actually okay with me. Right up until the point that you chose me. Cause then you just turned everything on its head. Then I got everything that I wanted and from that day forward, I've just been a wreck.
Joey: Why?
Pacey: Because, now all I have to do is just wait for the other shoe to drop. You know, just wait
for you to realise just what a big mistake you've made. Wait for you to realise that I'm just
gonna be a big disappointment, and just wait for you to realise that, that Dawson is the guy that you want to be with.
Joey: (nods) You're right. (she pauses) Do you know what else Dawson would never do? He would never
inspire me to run away with him for the summer. It just wouldn't happen, and you know that. We had
a magic summer, Pacey. I mean, we shared something that I'm gonna remember for the rest of my life.
Don't you see? We're creating our own history here. A history that has nothing to do with Dawson.


Pacey: How come you're so much smarter than I am?
Joey: I'm not that much smarter, Pace, (smiles) you just happen to be a little emotionally retarded.
Pacey: Is that it?
Joey: Yeah.
Pacey: (sighs) Oh, thats such a load off my mind. (laughs and takes Joey's hand) Let's go make out some more, huh?
Joey: (teases) Sounds romantic.
Pacey: You're far too cynical for romantic overtures.
Joey: Doesn't mean you don't earn points for trying.
Pacey: (wraps his arms around her) Oh, come on, you love me.
Joey: (smiles) You bug me.

Joey: Pacey. I've been doing some thinking.
Pacey: Yeah. Drunk thinking.
Joey: Maybe... Maybe that's not what I really want. Maybe I just wanna stay here. You know, I mean-- I mean,
look, it's--it's really beautiful here and... And I could just--
Pacey: just what? Stay here and work as a waitress all your life? Come on. I mean, forgive me if you're losing
me here, Jo, but to be perfectly honest, you haven't made the slightest bit of sense all night, even before you were drunk--
Joey: I wanna be with you, Pacey. I wanna stay and be with you.
Pacey: [Sighs] Hun, if you wanna be with me, then staying here would be a really stupid idea, considering I don't
plan to be here. I plan to be wherever you are.
Joey: Really?
Pacey: Yes, really. Not that you deserve to hear such things right now.


Joey: pace, I'm really sorry
Pacey: hold on a second. Let me go first this time. Ohh...Jo,
I'm sorry for how I reacted to the whole peer rec thing. I think it was
just kind of a left hook to the hot button, and... I reacted... Like Pacey.
Joey: You know who that guy you reacted like is gonna be in 10 years, pace?
The person who knows me best. Dawson knows my past. My future lies with you. If you think about it, you know,
you didn't even like me a few years ago.
Pacey: Well, you always tease the ones you love.

Joey: Well, I think I blew it tonight. And it's just, um, this is kind of a whole new world for me, and I, um, I don't
really know what to do or what to say, and I know that I don't fit in very well
Walter: Joey, you didn't blow anything. Your academic record stands on its own. You're a stunningly bright young
lady. No one is grading you on your social skills. Be that as it may, you couldn't ask for a better character witness
than that boyfriend of yours. Seriously. He just talked the Dean's ear off, all about you. How you've changed him,
how you've helped him. How he couldn't imagine a better life than one with you by his side. What a rare gift,
to have someone say such things about you.


Pacey: Oh, enough! Enough. Look as much as I love being publicly eviscerated on my own birthday,
I think we can all guess what the theme of this happy anecdote is going to be: Pacey messes up
yet again. Am I right? Pacey kills the dog. Or pees his pants, or pukes, or gets the pulp beaten
out of him. But you know what else the theme might be? The theme of every birthday I've ever had.
Well, the theme of my entire life, for that matter. No one gives Pacey a break. Everybody expects
the absolute worst out of Pacey. Pacey gets the short end of the stick. Pacey gets fireworks and
ashtray, and chipped beef on toast for his birthday, and endlessly harassed because how dare he
want to go to college so he can possibly get out of this place? But you know what, dad? You and
your wallet can breathe easy, because I don't think I could go to college even if I wanted to,
because I found out today that the only school I thought would take me, my fallback school,
rejected me. So I'm not going to college. So I guess, at the end of the day, you guys are
right. I'm going to end up exactly where you thought I would. A complete and utter failure.


Pacey: I have been fine with waiting. I have been too scared to sleep with you too soon. I don't
want to do anything that is gonna jeopardize the most amazing relationship that I've ever had.
Jo, I am happy that you and I took the time to really fall in love with each other, but we're
here now, Jo. This is 8 months and counting. So, I just--I-- I want... I need for you to know
that if our relationship is not gonna be progressing onto that next level... It's not because of me.
Joey: Pacey... I want you... I really do.
Pacey: I need to know that.

Joey: Pacey... This is about how you carried my bag off the bus yesterday. This is about how... When we
go to the movies and you go and you buy a popcorn you always make sure you bring back a napkin so I don't wipe
all the grease on my jeans. And this is about how just last week when we were at miniature golf you took all
of the shots first so I would know the correct path.
Pacey: Well, that's just
Joey: you taught me how to drive. And last year at prom... You knew that the bracelet I was wearing was my mom's.
You kissed me first, sweetheart. The second time... You counted to 10 before doing it
again just in case I wanted to stop you. You bought me a wall.
Pacey: [Ahem] I didn't buy it so much as I
Joey: we were alone on a boat for 3 months and you understood without a word why I wasn't ready. Do you have
to ask me now why I am? Pace. I'm gonna count to 10... And then I'm going to start kissing you. If you don't
want me to... Then you're just gonna have to stop me. 10, my love.


Joey: Sorry, Dawson but he is just too repelling.
Dawson: Joey, you're going to have to kiss him.
Joey: I cannot and will not kiss that cretin.
Dawson: It's a movie, you're playing a character. It's not Pacey you're kissing.


Pacey: See, the three of us have been friends too long and up until now, I've just kind of stood idly by and watched this all go down. But it's time to lay this on the line, okay? You have some raging hormonal obsession for our friend Dawson and you just can't wait to get your hooks into him butt good, can you? Huh?
Joey: Bite me, Pacey.
Pacey: Busted.

Joey: Pacey, I know I don't say it enough but you're a really terrific friend.
Pacey: Ah, ok, thanks, yeah.
Blond Guy: Is this guy bothering you, Chloe?
Pacey: Okay, just a couple of things. First, her name is not Chloe, it's Joey and second, no, I'm not hitting on her. I'm just her friend.God knows.
Blond Guy: Well, thanks for the info. We'll catch you later. Come on, let's take a little walk.
Joey: Alright.
Pacey: Alright, Joe. Say good-bye to the nice serial rapist man.
Blond Guy: You again a-hole! She doesn't want to leave.
Joey: Come on, please leave, Pacey.
Pacey: Alright, cowboy. Party's over.



Pacey: Ya know maybe I could be one of those guys who warms up the girls before they go on stage.
Joey: It's not a porno Pacey.

Joey: Be there in a minute!
Joey: No loitering, Pacey.
Pacey: (slurring his words) Listen, I am a legitimate customer, and I demand some service, OK?
Joey: Have you been drinking?
Pacey: Only liquor, I promise.
Joey: What's wrong?
Pacey: Oh, it's nothing that a little bonfire won't fix. You see, our friend Andie, decided that she needed to *cleanse* me from her life to maintain her sanity. The casualties were the contents of this box.
(Pacey trips over and the box falls into the water)
Pacey: Ahh. Hello Mr Dock.
Joey: Pacey
Pacey: Hey Jo?
Joey: Yeah?
Pacey: Can you do me a favour? I probably shouldn't go home like this-you think you could ring my dad and tell him I'm hanging here?
Joey: Yeah.
Pacey: That's my girl.

Pacey: He kissed you, didn't he?
Joey: What makes you say that?
Pacey: He'd have to be a moron not to and your lipstick is smeared all over your face.
Joey: That's what I get for letting Bessie talk me into Very Berry, I guess.
Pacey: So are you gonna see this guy again?
Joey: I don't know. I mean, what's the point? I mean, he's older than me, he's smarter than me, lives far away, a very not-insignificant problem seeing as I can't even drive yet. How could I ever feel about him the way that I--
Pacey: Feel about Dawson?
Joey: No. I was-- I was actually gonna say felt.
Pacey: Wanna know something, Miss Josephine Potter? I think the world may just surprise you yet. I mean, you fall in love, it doesn't work out and you think that it'll never happen again. But it does. Believe me, it does. In the strangest of places.

Pacey: Think back with me. Way back. You know, like the beginning of the school year? Dawson Leery returns from the big city a changed man, determined to sever ties with girl across the creek. So he asks trusted friend to look after said girl during the delicate transitional period. Trusted friend, of course obliges, and now his friends gets his head handed to him on a platter.
Joey: So you guys just traded me off like some sort of baseball card? Is that what this is about?
Pacey: What?
Joey: Us! You and me. I thought that...
Pacey: Thought what?
Joey: I guess I thought something else, Pacey.

Joey: No, because I'm sixteen, and in my entire life there have been two people who have actually known me,
Pacey: Dawson and-
This AJ guy didn't know you, alright? I don't care how you felt about him, Jo, he didn't know you cuz if he did, he never would've walked away.
Joey: I was going to say you, Pacey.
Pacey: Okay. (He pulls the car over)
Joey: Have you totally lost it?
Pacey: No, not totally. Not yet.
(He gets out, she gets out and he nervously walks over to her side of the car)
Pacey: Alright, what did you mean by that?
Joey: By what?
Pacey: About me knowing you better than anybody else?
Joey: Exactly what I said, Pacey, you know me, okay? In a way that nobody else besides Dawson ever has--
Pacey: We're not talking about Dawson right now, we're talking about me. I mean, you can't keep on doing this to me, Potter!
Joey: Doing what? What, so I count on you and I tell you secrets, and suddenly--
Pacey: And you call me in the middle of the night to pick you up, why?
Joey: Well, I'm sorry that I called, I thought that I--
Pacey: I'm not mad that you called me, I just want to know why you called me.
Joey: You were the first person that I thought of, Pacey.
Pacey: What does that mean, Jo?
Joey: It means that, I guess it, it means that I can talk to you, and that you're there for me--
Pacey: Don't you ever get tired of talking?
Joey: No!
Pacey: Well, I get tired of talking--
Joey: I don't get tired, I don't know, I don't--
Pacey: I don't want to talk anymore.
Joey: What are you trying to say , Pacey?
Pacey: Jo, I don't-
Joey: Why are we standing, I don't--
~*~THE KISS~*~THE BEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!!!


Joey: Are you okay?
Pacey: Not so much, no.
Joey: What's wrong?
Pacey: Well, it's the history. It's killing me, how can a guy compete when you two have your own karaoke routine?
Joey: Pacey, you're not supposed to compete, we're supposed to have our own his- I didn't mean that.
Pacey: Well what did you mean?
Joey: I don't know anymore, Pacey.
Pacey: You know this little arrangement we've got going on between us?
Joey: Yes.
Pacey: Well, it sucks. It sucks up one side and down the other. It's uncomfortable, it's weird and I hate every single second of it.
Joey: Really?
Pacey: Yes.
Joey: Then why did you come here, Pacey?
Pacey: You know, for a bright girl, you can be really daft sometimes. Why do you think I came here? I came here to be with you! It's as simple as that! When you like somebody, proximity is a good thing, regardless of how they feel about you. Or don't, as the case may be.
Joey: I felt it.
Pacey: What?
Joey: This morning. Your arm brushed up against me in bed and I felt it.
Pacey: How did it feel?
Joey: It made me feel alive.
Pacey: Okay. Joey, I'm going to kiss you now.
Joey: You can't!
Pacey: Look, Jo, you can't say something like that and expect me not to kiss you, so that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm gonna kiss ya, in about ten seconds, and if you don't want me to kiss you, well, if you don't want me to, I guess then you're just gonna have to stop me. Ten.
(From behind, someone clears their throat. Caught in the act, they freeze and pull away.)
Joey: Pacey.
Pacey: I think maybe I should head inside and sing myself some more karaoke. Cuz Lord knows that's what I want to be doing
right now, is singing myself some karaoke.
Gwen: That's a splendid idea, Pacey. Well, at least now I understand why you and Dawson aren't together.


Pacey: I mean just that. I can't keep on kissing you. I've done it twice now. I can't be the one that's always initiating this. I can't be the one that's always giving you the answers. Look at me, Joey.
Joey: I can't.
Pacey: Please. If you felt even one shred of what I feel for you, then we wouldn't be standing here having this conversation. (He walks away.)
Joey: Pacey.


Pacey - "Come on, Jen. I mean, it's pretty obvious that you're missing the undivided attention of our friend Dawson. Maybe feeling a little dumpers remorse?" Jen - "You're way off." Pacey - "Tell me, is it the possibility of losing him to somebody that suddenly makes him seem attractive?" Jen - "You really think I'm that shallow, huh?" Pacey - "No. I think you're that human"



Eve: Of course. Listen, Dawson... anything that's worth anything is scary, or dangerous, in one way or another.
Dawson: That's a fairly extreme world view--
Eve: Not at all. Without fear, there would be no accomplishment. No testing of our limitations. No fun.

Dawson:I can't forget that this past year has been a hellish nightmare. I spent it verbalizing and angsting instead of living. I need to just learn how to exist, and question things later.

Andie: I was hoping you'd find me here.
Pacey: To be honest, I told myself a thousand times not to come.
Andie: So why did you??
Pacey: Cause I owe you that much.
Andie: I've allready told you how sorry I am, what else can I say??
Pacey: There's nothing else to say.
Andie: So you don't think you can forgive me??
Pacey: Wether or not I can forgive you Andie is not going to be what keeps us apart. What you did...our relationship was this beautiful thing and I don't think you ever realized how powerful it was. You changed my life Andie. You were that person for me. You inspired me to be a man that I only ever dreamed about being. When you first started to get sick, it dawned on me that I might not be that person for you. I can never go back to loving you again
knowing that my love wasn't strong enough the first time around. I can always forgive you Andie, but I will never forget.
Andie: But I still love you Pacey...
Pacey: Goodbye Andie.


Dawson: It's wierd how it happens isn't it. You still love the person you just stop needing them like you used to.

Dawson: Joey!!! I've been looking all over for you. There's nothing going on between Jen and me. What you saw today was completely innocent.
Joey: You don't have to explain it to me Dawson.
Dawson: Yes I do.
Joey: Why?? Why do you feel the need to explain?? We're just friends, that's all.
Dawson: Joey, you know that's not true.
Joey: What are we Dawson?? I am so tired of the way we relate to one another, we spend all of our time analyzing our sad, little adolescent lives.
Dawson: We know too many big words, but it's a good thing to analyze.
Joey: It doesn't get us anywhere, it doesn't move us forward. We're in the same place we were 3 months ago; it's time to grow up Dawson.
Dawson: I know, Joey. We can, we are growing up.
Joey: No we're not. Everyday is the same, we watch a movie, preferably a Spielberg film, find the appropriate life correlation and then we pat ourselves on the back for being so clever. As much as our perception is right on, our honesty is severely lacking Dawson.
Dawson: There is something lacking.
Joey: And the reason I came here tonight is because we need to move on. We're not kids anymore and I'm not going to do this anymore... so I thought you should know.
Dawson: Are you going to France??
Joey: The inevitable cliffhanger... Am I going to France??
Dawson: Are you?
Joey: I am tired of all the drama in my life right now Dawson. And leaving town just makes the most sense to me.
Dawson: No, it doesn't.
Joey: Why should I stay?? Is there some new release at the video store I don't know about?? It's time to grow up Dawson!!!
Dawson: Well then we'll do it together. I could grow up, give me a chance. Even Spielberg outgrew his Peter Pan syndrome.
Joey: I could have told you that months ago, Dawson.
Dawson: You did.
Joey: Dawson, I'm so tired of dancing around these big words. I just want to be honest with you.
Dawson: Me too. Jo, more than anything, I just want to be honest.
Joey: Do you think we're ready for that honesty??
Dawson: Yeah I do.
Joey: Are you sure?? Because honesty is a big word and it changes things and it complicates things... are you sure you're ready for all the things that comes along with telling the truth??

You know what all I ever do is respect other peoples wishes okay! I'm sick of it, it makes everybody else feel better, it makes me feel like hell!
-Dawson, from The Reluctant Hero

Dawson: Wipe the drool, dude.
Pacey: She was flirting with me
Dawson: She was laughing at you.

Dawson: What are you doing reading Cosmopolitan?
Pacey: Listen, I have three mentally diverse sisters. Cosmo is my standpoint.

Its the end of something simple. And the begininng of everything else.~Dawson's Theme


"Let me get this straight.you tried to create some kind of snail
menage a trois?"-Joey
"Well,it sounds stupid when you say it a loud".-Pacey

Ohhh,Dawson,my fine oblivious friend.one of these days,you're gonna have to take a gigantic fact check,my friend.Alright,She didn't mistake you for anybody,okay? This girl is head in the clouds,100 percent ass-backwards in love with you alright?
-Pacey

Every one of these girls is incredibly insecure. I mean, I can't even speak my mind anymore without stomping on somebody's feelings. I make a cancer joke, and Joey gets upset. Or I make a crazy joke and Andie gets upset. Or you make a crack about ho bags and Jen starts humping the couch.-Abby

"It's all about romance...and Chap Stick."-Mr Leery

Andie: "Why don't you go back to your Debbie Does Dallas?
Pacey: "It's uh, Jacuzzi Fluzzies actually. Did you ever notice how the most interesting part of a porn movie is the title? I'm mean think about it. You have The Sperminator, Romancing the Bone, Little Oral Annie."
Andie: "I don't know why they bother being so clever. I mean they're all the same. They should all have the same title. 'People Pacey Will Never Do.'"
Pacey pretends to stab heart
Pacey: "Oh ouch!"

"A thang? No, I'm not getting a thang for you Dawson. I've known you too long. I've seen you burp, barf, pick your nose, scratch your butt. I don't think I'm getting a thang for you."-Joey

Joey: The English Patient is the only thing that's put the baby to sleep. Because the baby never sleeps. And if the baby doesn't sleep then I don't sleep. And if I don't sleep, I get angry. I get irritable. I no longer maintain my sunny disposition. So, Pacey, if you have even the slightest bit of human decency you'll rent this movie to me immediately and bring one hundred and eighty-one minutes of peace in my otherwise wretched life. Please?
Pacey: Alright but in my professional oppinion, you don't a video store, you need a pharmacy.

you thought that if you orchestrated this whole evening I'd be convinced into picking you over Pacey. " ~Joey " ...You have to pick somebody Joey, that's why I have to remind you what you'd be missing if you didn't pick me, you're be missing a lot. and so would I, we'd be missing everything. " ~Dawson

"For crying outloud, dad, I'm sixteen years old! When did you give up on me? When I was twelve? And I try so hard..." ~ Pacey

Mysterious voice on the phone: So tell me your name.
Jen: Drew Barrymore. Look, you wanna play this game, let's cut right to the chase. What's your favourite scarey movie?
Voice: Friday the 13th. What's yours?
Jen: The Ten Commandments. Don't ask.

The second kiss is the toughest one. That first kiss is the passionate one filled with desire and attraction and all that. The second kiss is rational. You got time to think about it, worry and overrationalize. Most women like the first one but I'm partial to the second one, because it's about something more.--Bessie

It seems a little sad. that I was the girl whose only purpose was to help you find out who you're really in love with.--Jen

No, we did, but I held you off. I pushed you away. And I basically ran you out of my life in the midst of all that fun. So I guess it serves me right I lost ya.--Jen

Yes. Do you want to know why I didn't go to France? 'Cause I wanted to so badly. I mean, in France I could have started over, you know. I wouldn't be Joey the waitress, or Joey the daughter of a convict, or Joey half of the "will they/won't they" couple of the century. I didn't go to France because it just seemed like the easy way out, you know? The easiest escape from my life, which in spite of a few highlights is pretty pathetic. But I didn't
want to take that easy way out, Dawson. It just seemed like sticking around here would only make me stronger. Then there was you too. Dawson Leery, who finally got a clue. But I have to tell you Dawson, as complicated our friendship was, it doesn't even compare to how complicated whatever you and I have here is bound to be.--Joey


You know everything about me, huh? You know how I got this scar on my chin? You know why my father hates me? You know why I ride the fine line between insecurity and self-confidence? Correct me if I'm wrong, Dawson, but you don't know the answer to any of those questions. In fact, I bet you don't even know when I was born!--Pacey

You know what? I am. I mean, I left New York because I couldn't handle being the bad girl anymore, but, I tell you, if being the bad girl means not walking around in a perpetual state of loneliness and depression, then bad girl it is.--Jen


I got my dream and now I feel like I don't have anything else. I mean, you have your future so perfectly planned, Dawson, you know exactly what you want to do, what you want to accomplish, and I don't even know who I am, let alone who I want to be or accomplish and I need to figure that out. I need to find my something.--Joey

"Maybe I am just saying this because i'm head over heels in love with you but the scary part of it is that its true" ~ Pacey


"Do you know what made it so nice, Pacey? You probably don't even remember. It was just this thing. There you were, above me, and you started brushing my hair off my forehead, and it felt so nice. It made me feel... safe. Like no matter what, you were gonna protect me. Years from now, when I think back, I'm not gonna remember the clumsy positioning or the morning-after awkwardness or if the experience itself met the textbook definition of great sex. What I'm gonna remember is how sweet you were. And how you took me to this brand new place. I'm glad I had sex, Pacey. And I'm glad I had sex with you. And now, I just want to go home. So we can do it again." ~ Joey

"Some of us are just trying to get through the day without breaking something."
~Pacey

"I used to spend everyday thinking about you. When you walked by, I lost myself. Do you know what that's like?! To love someone so much but not have them love you back? You miss the way I looked at you. Well I don't miss the way you didn't look at me." ~Henry

"One week you're soul mates. The next week you're giving each other up for the greater good. I mean, do you think it's possible that sometime soon, you could make up your mind? Please?" ~Pacey Witter

"you're starting to look all kinds of cute" ~Pacey


Dawson: "You know, let's just forget about everything. All I want to do for the rest of this godforsaken night is just stare at your face in the moonlight because that's the only thing that matters to me."

Andie: "It's what my therapist calls your 'it'. It's the part of you that holds your purest impulses and desires. It doesn't care what anyone thinks. It just wants what it wants."

Doug: "Everytime you look at the stars you're going to see her face. You can't turn away from her Pacey."

Jen: "The point is, Shelly, he's not yours, he's mine. I've looked all over the place for one like him, and I'm not giving him up without a fight. So should you choose to continue draping yourself on him like the slutty wench you are, you and me -- we're gonna throw down."

Just because we don't say certain things, doesn't mean we don't feel them. ~Dawson's Creek~

"All good things come to those who wait, but you've never been very good at postponing pleasure, have you Jen?" -- Abby, Dawson's Creek

"Alrighty. Question number 1: "Have you ever been intimately aroused by a relative?" Oh, so its a Southern test, huh?" -- Pacey, Dawson's Creek

Jen: Tell ya what, grams. I'll go to church with you when you say the word "penis."

"Jen, um we are all strangers to our parents. They love us but they don't really know us and sometimes we don't get the chance to know them, till they're gone. So we can't ask them all the things we want to know about turnips or turkey gizzards or what they were like when they were young." --Joey

DAWSON: The Wizard of Oz?
GRETCHEN: Exactly. Its what everybody remembers about the movie, but it doesn't resonate with the rest of the story. It's this sappy, cloying little afterthought that was probably tacked on by a studio exec. Think about it. Home is like this desolate grey dust bowl of a place where some nasty old lady is trying to kill your dog. And Oz is...
DAWSON: ...Technicolor.
GRETCHEN: And sure it has its problems. Poppy fields, flying monkeys...
DAWSON: -- Talking trees.
