Joey and Dawson in “...Must Come to an End”

Joey

Are you writing?

Dawson

No. The curse of an unwritten ending.

Joey

Oh. Make it a happy one, please. I can't take any more sad ones. Stay away from the life and death of it all.

Dawson

It's interesting how people use that expression-- life and death. As if to imply that life is the opposite of death, but birth is the opposite of death. Life... has no opposite.

Joey

I never thought of it that way.

Dawson

Well, leave it to me to over think it.

Joey

You are the writer.

Dawson

Yeah. This writer has decided it doesn't matter how it ends... because fiction is fiction, and for the first time, in a long time... My life is real. It doesn't matter who ends up with who. Because in some unearthly way... it's always gonna be you and me.

Joey

Soul mates.

Dawson

What we have goes beyond friendship, beyond lovers. It's forever.

Joey

Yes, it is. I love you, Dawson.

Dawson

I love you, too, Joey.
