Worthington is what you want, right?
It doesn't matter what I want, Dawson.
Yes or no?
Yes.
Then I want you to have Mr. Brooks' money.
Dawson, are you insane? I can't.
“Admissions” · Season 4
In this episode: Joey Potter (5), Dawson Leery (3), Pacey Witter (2)
Joey, I... I've watched you go through so much pain in your life. I mean, even before your mom got sick and your dad...
Don't do this. Don't feel sorry for me, Dawson.
I don't. That's not what this is about. Jo, all the pain I've watched you go through, I've never been able to fix it before. And this I can fix. All I need you to do is let me.
What you felt the other night at the movie theater, that something was finally right between us... I felt that, too. And nothing will ever change that... not going to school on different coasts. Not meeting people who we're meant to love forever... nothing. And I want you to have this [Hands her an envelope with a check in it]
But, Dawson...
I don't know how I feel about you sleeping with Pacey. I don't know how I'll feel tomorrow or next week or next year for that matter, but I'm absolutely certain that giving you this is the right thing to do. Because I'm certain about us... and what we mean to each other. And I think you are, too.
It's not that I don't want you to be able to go off and realize your dreams, Joey, because I do. But for the first time, I just... I felt like it wasn't me that was holding you back from it.
Pacey, you've never held me back. You have to stop thinking like that.
You know what? I could stop thinking like that if you'd just promise me one thing, that if the day ever comes, and it may come much sooner than either one of us thinks, but if that day ever comes where you did feel like I was holding you back... promise me that you'd cut me loose, yeah?
Pacey...
Promise me that.
I won't promise you that. You're asking me to promise to let you go. I can't do that.
I'm still trying to process this whole college thing. You know, it's... kinda weird to get your dream.
I know it. I say that every time I look at you.
You always do that. You change the subject.
Joey, we're not talking about this today, because we're not talking about anything negative today, because today is your day to celebrate this most amazing accomplishment that you have worked so hard for.
