Guys, Gale's been throwing up a lot, right?
Yeah.
And she's still hungry and putting on some weight. She's tired all the time. Her back hurts. Irritability. Mood swings.
Yeah.
The worst. How'd you know?
Sounds to me like she'll be feeling a lot better in about nine months.
I don't want to make you do anything that you're not ready to do.
No. Pacey, I get it. Just as long as you realize that if you do turn into some typical hormone filled silly ass boy and try to manipulate me again, you're out the door.
Pacey's not the problem. It's me. I mean, let's face it, the waiting just goes on and on. And at this point even I'm getting impatient. But for some reason, I just keep waiting.
Joey, let me ask you something. Are you sure that you really want to have sex?
Of course I want to have sex. But the question is, am I ready?
You were the best mother that I know. And you were wrong if you think you've disappointed me at every turn, Mom. All you've done is made me proud. You're not afraid to make mistakes. And when to pick up and to keep going and keep trying new things. And I owe some much of who I am to you. To both of you. I used to idealize this perfect childhood. This perfect little house. And then you guys gave me something so much better. You gave me something real. And if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't change a thing. If you guys are even half the parents to your next kid that you were to me, he'd be the luckiest kid in all the world.
You're a seventeen-year-old girl who doesn't understand the first thing about consequences and responsibility. You are not ready to have sex.
I am the oldest seventeen year old in Capeside, Bessie. My whole life is consequences and responsibility, okay?
