Jen Lindley quotes from Dawson's Creek

Jen

Um...ok, why don't we go to Mandy behind the screen? Mandy, what's your question? Mandy?

Audrey

Oh. Hi. Sorry, no. Actually, my name is Audrey, and my question is specifically for Dr. Drew. Um, I'm about 5'7". I've got blond hair, blue eyes, great rack.

Jen

Audrey, question. Find it.

Audrey

Oh, right. Ok. Well, um... several months ago, I realized that I had a serious problem with alcohol. I had all these negative feelings about my life, and I was using alcohol as my escape. And in the process, I hurt a lot of people that were very close to me. And if it hadn't been for those very same people, I probably would not have gotten the professional help that I needed. So after spending several weeks in a rehab facility in southern California, um... I guess my question to you is this, Dr. Drew-- how would you like to go back to my dorm room and play a little game I like to call "dirty doctor and naughty nurse?"

Jack

Do you think that I was just going out with David to prove something to myself?

Jen

Something about what?

Jack

Just to prove that I could do it, that I could be in a relationship. You know, have a boyfriend.

Jen

I don’t know. I mean, is that something that you feel like you needed to prove to yourself?

Jack

Yeah. Who wants to be that 35-year-old guy that's living alone and still going out to the bar scene trying to find the right person?

Jen

Give me a break. You're 20 years old. You're not even legally old enough to be in those bars, let alone haunt them with your sad, single self.

Jack

Yeah, that from the girl who was on a first-name basis with half the bouncers in New York.

Jen

Look, my point is is that I don't think that everybody meets the love of their life when they're a teenager. Or when they're 25. Or even when they're 35. But that doesn't mean that you stop looking and hoping. You know, 'cause you will meet that person, and when you do, I guess you know it.

Dawson

Cut, cut. Audrey, you're gonna have to take the robe off.

Audrey

You're kidding me.

Dawson

I thought we'd be in tight enough so we wouldn't see it, but it's right there.

Patrick

This is, like, my dream day.

Audrey

Ok, Dawson, what if I just show a little shoulder?

Dawson

Problem is, I need bare skin.

Jen

You need, like, spaghetti straps.

Joey

She's right. You have to have something to match the wardrobe Audrey would be wearing if Pacey junior hadn't walked into her chest with a jelly doughnut.

Dawson

We don't have an E.T.A. on that dress yet, do we?

Jack

Yes. Spin cycle. Your mom says it's gonna be about, uh, 20 minutes.

Patrick

Uh, excuse me. Is there any scenario in which she could just take off all her clothes? You know, at least for one take? Because then, you know, I feel like I could really give you an appropriate on-camera react—

Patrick

Aah!

Joey

Can I have 5 minutes alone with this guy?

Patrick

You don't know how long I dreamed of hearing you say that.

Jen

So I just caught some of your act. Looks like Capeside finally hired a good teacher.

Jack

Good teachers are just traumatized students trying to erase whatever went wrong with their own high school experience.

Jen

Do you think that you could erase my memories while you're at it?

Jack

That would be a lifetime in a nunnery.

Jen

What are you doing here? It's late. Doesn't this hospital have visitation hours?

Jack

I, uh... flirted with a nurse. I can be quite charming when I want to be.

Jen

What happens when she finds out you're gay?

Jack

It's a male nurse.

Jen

Cute?

Jack

Look, Jen... I would love nothing more than to engage in our patented, meaningless, good-humored Jack-Jen fag-hag banter, but... first I was kinda wondering, I mean, since you're lying here in this hospital bed and you're hooked up to all these machines... how come? How come you didn't tell me, 'cause I thought I was your best friend?

Jen

Because I didn't want you to be worried. I was already worrying enough. Because I thought that if I pretended it didn't exist, it would just go away. Because I like it. I like our... patented, meaningless fag-hag banter, and 'cause I was scared if I said it out loud, it would be true, because I was just-- I was just scared. 'Cause I was an idiot.

Jack

You are an idiot. I--I could've handled it. I could've helped you handle it.

Jen

Well, you will help me handle it. I need you.

Jen

I mean, from the second that I stepped out of that cab and onto the Creek, I--I was the instigator, you know? The girl who caused problems and rocked the creek and upset the delicate emotional balance of Capeside, and--and I don't want Amy to be that person. I want her to belong. I feel like I never really did.

Jack

Jen you belong. You belong with me. Don't you get it? You're my soulmate. Amy's gonna know love. Every day of her life, she is gonna know how much her mother loved her. I'm gonna see to that.
