Dawson's Creek · Season 1
I just don't think it's a good idea for me to sleep over anymore, you know?
No, I don't know. C'mon, You've been sleeping over since you were seven. It's Saturday night.
Things change, Dawson. Evolve.
What are you talking about?
Sleeping in the same bed was fine when we were kids, but we're fifteen now.
Yeah.
We start high school Monday?
Yeah.
And I have breasts!
What?
And you have genitalia!
I've always had genitalia.
But there's more of it.
How do you know?
Long fingers. I gotta go.
[about Jen] You think she's a virgin? Wanna nail her?
We just met!
And a wasted moment it was. I mean greater men would be nailing right now, you know what I mean?
Tact, Pacey, look it up.
See, I believe that all the mysteries of the universe, all the answers to life's questions, can be found in a Spielberg film. See, it's a theory I've been working on. You see, whenever I have a problem, all I have to do is look to the right Spielberg movie and the answer's revealed.
Have you ever heard of a twelve-step program?
Wit! We like that around here.
Hey Joey, I love your lipstick. What shade is that?
Wicked Red. Uh, Jen, I love your hair color. What number is that?
You'll have to excuse Joey. She was born in a barn.
That's okay. Uh, Joey, I just do highlights.
So, uh, Jen, are you a virgin?
That's mature!
Well 'cause Dawson's a virgin and two virgins really make for a clumsy first encounter don't you think?
You're going to die
I just thought I'd help, you know, cut to the chase.
No, it's okay, Dawson. Yes, I am a virgin. How about you, Joey?
Please, years ago. Trucker named Bubba.
It's a crock. The truth is you're a well put together, knockout of a woman who's feeling a little insecure about hitting forty. So when a young, virile boy, such as myself flirts with you, you enjoy it. You entice it. You fantasize about what it would be like to be with that young boy on the verge of manhood. 'Cause it helps you stay feeling attractive. Makes the aging process a little more bearable. Well, let me tell you something. You blew it, lady. Because I'm the best sex you'll never have.
You're wrong about one thing, Pacey. You're not a boy.
[to Dawson, about Jen] I'm not suggesting leather straps and Crisco, just a kiss.
Do me a favor? If I get like this again, and I'm sure I will before this adolescent growth process is over... Next time just chain me to my bed and wait for my moment of clarity to come.
Can I use leather straps?
Not until you explain the Crisco!
See, the kiss is just the end result. It's not what's important. It's all about desire and wanting.
Joey, you're going to have kiss him.
I cannot and will not kiss that cretin.
It's a movie. You're playing a character, it's not Pacey you're kissing.
So he's a sea serpent from the deep, cite the difference.
[to Joey] You have nice breasts. I mean, don't get the wrong idea, I'm completely hetero. I'm just commenting girl to girl. You have a really nice body.
You mean, you haven't even kissed that girl?
It's not about the kiss, Joey. It's about the journey, creating a sustaining magic.
Does Jen fall for this warped movie logic?
It's not warped. It's romance.
It's old, Dawson. Just kiss her, will you? Take the elevator to the next floor and get off, it's time.
It's not that simple Joey. It's about creating the perfect moment. And it has to be planned with the right music and dialogue.
You can't storyboard a kiss.
Sure you can.
It's not reality, Dawson. These movies that you're watching are false images that don't exist outside the city limits of Hollywood.
Not true. They're images grounded in the reality of imagination.
Did you just pull that one out of your butt, or what?
Everybody thinks that movies are fantasy, but they don't have to be. From Here to Eternity, you can have that. You just have to create it. That moment on the beach could be yours. You could be Deborah Kerr.
Mm, sand in my crotch, heaven.
You know, it's attitudes like yours that prevent storyboard romances from happening. You're way too cynical.
[to Pacey] And what do you want?
Actually something a little sexy would be good, I gotta a maybe sorta date this evening.
Hmm, who's the lucky farm animal tonight?
Ahh, what's that, what's that stuff that makes a woman horny?
Your polar opposite?
You mean oysters.
Right, oysters. A dozen oysters, Joey, pack 'em up.
Well, I'm a Pisces, I'm into body piercings, and men with tattoos.
Are you here with your parents? Are you guys on a boat?
Actually, we brought the chauffeur. Mother hates to sail. She doesn't like the sun. She burns easy.
What about you?
I wear lotion.
No, I mean, do you like to sail?
Why do you ask?
I'm taking a survey. Because I want you to come sailing with me, tomorrow.
I can't.
Come on. I'll show you my tattoo.
Gap ad has a tattoo?
If you come sailing you'll find out.
Could it be? Joey's finally noticing the opposite sex!
Shut up!
Uh, excuse me, young man! This woman here thinks you're very attractive!
[Trying to shut him up] You butt plug!
Forget it, Joey. Guys off yachts don't go for waitresses. Huh?
I'm going to kill you. One night in your sleep, a slit throat maybe or a screwdriver to your temple. Be ready.
Go home, Pacey. You need to find a girl your own age. Not some insane middle-aged woman.
Please, Tamara.
Please, no buts. This can't go one second further, it's beyond wrong. You have to understand that.
You keep saying how it's wrong. And maybe it is. But just to set the record straight, I'm a firm believer that sometimes it's right to do the wrong thing.
