“Mind Games” · Season 4
In this episode: Joey Potter (4), Pacey Witter (2), Dawson Leery (2), Gretchen (2)
When we weren't having sex. And everything and every moment wasn't about sex.
I don't know if that time ever really existed.
I guess you're right. Before, when we hadn't had sex, everything was about sex. Now that we've have had sex…
Everything is still about sex. Do you think we're doing something wrong?
No. Do you?
No.
Just promise me something.
Anything.
That you'll always be as honest with me as you were last night. Cause that's the hardest part about having a relationship. It's so much harder than sex. And trusting someone is like this gigantic act of faith. You put it out there and you can never really be sure if you're gonna get it back. Sex... sex is just mechanical.
I want to apologize.
For what?
For that question I asked you a couple weeks ago. That very personal question. I should have never asked you. I don't know why I did. It was some masochistic side of me that I haven't explored yet. Probably the same side of me that's sabotaging my relationship with Gretchen.
You think you're sabotaging your relationship?
Well, mentioning you every 30 seconds, I'm sure it doesn't help.
You lied to Dawson about you and Pacey having sex.
I made a decision, a very private decision about my life and I really don't want the whole world to know about that.
You really don't want Dawson to know about that.
It's the same thing.
No it's not, Joey. I don't want to be an ogre here, but lying to Dawson isn't going to solve anything. It's not fair to him and it's not fair to somebody who's trying to have a relationship with him.
Meaning you.
You know, I don't think I like this turn that our relationship is taking here. You have no respect for my feelings, we never talk anymore.
[Joey keeps kissing him. He groans]
Pace, we spent 9 months talking. We've been doing this for two weeks.
[She goes back to kissing]
But this still doesn't mean you get to treat me like a sex object.
Oh, I can tell you're all broken up about it.
