Why is it that we're so ridiculously intent on pleasing the people who dislike us the most?

[to Joey] Because I'm afraid okay? I'm afraid that I'm not enough for you and that I never will be alright? And if I do this that you're just going to realize that you've grown way beyond me and then I'm... I'm just going to lose you again.
MMr.McPhee
If I'd just been around more.
It wouldn't have made a difference. I'm gay for the same reasons that Tim wasn't. It just happened that way.
MMr.McPhee
But there are people who change, they go back.
I'm hardly the encyclopedia of the gay experience but, I'd wager to say that their change is skeptical.
MMr.McPhee
How do you know? Unless you try.
I don't want to try. Why do you want me to try?
MMr.McPhee
Because I can not understand why anyone would choose that kind of life.
I didn't choose it. The only thing I chose was to be happy. Look, I can't go back for you because slowly but surely I'd be going to sacrifice my happiness for yours because I want you to be proud of me. But not under your terms. It just, it won't work.
[to Jen] Look, I often wonder how my mom would act if she was aware of what was happening to me, if she was capable of comprehending it. I don't think she'd have a problem with it because my mom loves me for the best reason possible... no reason at all. Because that's the way our parents should love us Jen. Unconditionally. Sadly, most parents don't. But as much as it hurts... it's worse for them. It is worse to be incapable of loving than to not be loved.
I don't want to say goodbye. I just want to look at you... I wish I had some eloquent parting words for you but... all I could think of was this. Thank you. Thank you for everything you've given to me. Thank you for forcing me be the man you made me. Just thank you. I am so grateful to you, Andie.
Oh, I don't want to let you go, Pacey.
Just remember your promise okay? You and me, together again, happy, healthy and more in love than ever
I'll remember.
Go get better McPhee, and then you hurry back to me.
