Mugger quotes from Dawson's Creek

Are you a virgin?

Joey

[pause] Can you be any more of a dick right now?

Yeah, I could shoot you.

Joey

My tenth birthday, my father takes me to the park, and if you knew Mike Potter, you'd know that was a pretty big deal. I mean, he never really had time for stuff like that... but he took me, and we played for hours... jungle gym, swings, everything... and I was so happy. He was so popular with the people, and... everyone seemed to know him, and... I was so proud to be his daughter. I mean, he was, like, the Mayor or something. It wasn't until years later that I realized he was dealing drugs to them.

Heartwarming story. What's your point?

Joey

My point is... my dad did a lot of crappy stuff. I mean, this is the guy who cheated on my mom with a cocktail waitress while she was dying of cancer. He let me and my sister down time and time again, so many times and in so many ways, it became funny. But you know what? That day at the park... it still goes down in the books as my favorite day ever.

Well, the point is, I love my wife. I love my daughter, but... I am who I am. Nothing's gonna change that. I mean, you wanna know why people do the things that they do. There is no why, sweetheart. They just do.

Joey

That's crap. If you really loved your daughter, if you really loved her, you wouldn't do those things.

Joey

Your daughter is, uh, really beautiful. It's a shame she has such a dickhead for a dad.

Well, sounds like your dad was a bit of a dickhead, too. Look how well you turned out.

Joey

You don't know anything about me.

True, but from what I can tell, you're pretty smart... and funny... and reasonably hot, and I imagine most of your friends like having you around... most of the time, when you're not smartin' off with that little mouth.
