“Hurricane (aka Blown Away)” · Season 1

In this episode: Dawson Leery (4), Joey Potter (2), Jen Lindley (2), Grams (1), Gail Leery (1)

[on TV] Well, Bob, it looks like tomorrow would be a good day just to stay in bed.

BBob

You've got that right, Gail.

God, could they be any more obvious? So, Gail, what are your current views on the situation in Bosnia? Will you be jumping my bones after the broadcast?

Look, maybe you better go, Joey. My verbal vomit's out of control today.

I know what you're going through Dawson. You're struggling to find answers. You want to know why she's cheating but it's all perception, Dawson. Let me just offer the one ounce of wisdom I can bring to this table. You know instead of asking why your mother's doing all these horrible things, may I suggest that you get down on your knees and thank God that you have a mother!

Joey...

Sorry, Dawson, I forgot for a second. This isn't about me.

You know, it's just an ego thing. I mean, "How could there possibly have been anyone before me, you know, how can I measure up?"

Is he really that trite?

I'm sure there's a measuring tape sitting in his bathroom right now.

What do you think it's marked up at?

What do you mean?

Oh come on, do you think Dawson's got a pistol or a rifle?

How would I know?

Oh, come on.

...

Well I guess I'm no longer the virgin queen of Dawson Leery's handheld fantasies.

Yeah I think Dawson's having a life-defining turning point in his life right now.

Aren't we all?

You know, taking into consideration his height, weight, feet and hand size, I'd say he's slightly above average.

Oh, so you have thought about it.

Mr. Ryan used to say, "If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with a lot of rain."

So you know, too?

I used to be a big fan of motion pictures. Frank Capra, It's a Wonderful Life, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Pocketful of Miracles. Simple desires fulfilled, aspirations realized.

Fears of abandonment turned into fantasy spectacles of security and joy. Frank Capra and Steven Spielberg were often compared for their thematic content.

What I like most about those movies is the fact that no matter how far off the pedestal the character fell they always got a second chance. Forgiveness is one of the greatest gifts the Lord has given us with it comes understanding.

Same way rain brings a rainbow.

From what I've seen of you so far, you better buy yourself a good umbrella.

I'm leaving, Dawson, um, but before I go there's--

But, Jen, I'm--

No, no, hear me out, Dawson, please. Okay? Because this seems to be the day of truths, and I'm taking my turn. I lost my virginity when I was 12 to some older guy who got me drunk, I don't really remember his name but after the first pregnancy scare I went on the pill, and I used condoms most of the time, some of the times, I don't know, it's kind of blurry. I was really drinking a lot and having blackouts and stuff, um. I was sexualized way too young, and I don't wish that on anybody. I mean, sex at such a young age, more often than not, is a bad idea. 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, but Dawson I'm not that girl anymore. I never really was, and I'm not that white-as-snow image you've got either, I'm somewhere in between and I'm just, I'm just trying to figure it out.

Jen. It's not you. It's my own stupid hangups. My parents have this raging sex life and I just, I secretly used it as their measure of happiness.

Well, sex doesn't equal happiness.

Yeah, I know. I know that now.

I'm sorry about lying to you, but I can't apologize for my past. I mean, I've learned from it, I'm a better person, it's gotten me here. And this is my chance to start over. It's my chance and it would be really nice if you'd be a part of that.

On one condition?

What?

That you'll have me, Jen, because my behavior has been unredeemable and I don't deserve someone as impassionate and open and honest and beautiful as you are. [They hug] Take 2?

Mm-hmm.
