Just what would we be missing from the land of poorly scripted melodramas, huh? Recycled plot lines, tiresome self-realizations. You throw in the occasional downward spiral of a dear friend, and maybe a baby here and a death there and all you've really got is a recipe for some soul sucking, mind numbing ennui, and I for one could skip it.
S4Coming Home
I would like to offer it to you as a...
Please don't say symbol.
As an emblematic artifact representing the foundation of... of a new friendship.
Doug wakes me up every morning at 7 dust-bustering the kitchen. It's like living with Felix Unger on crack.
Pacey... I wanted to see Dawson tonight, not because for four months of my life he was my boyfriend, but because for the better part of my life he was my friend. And as my friend, I hurt him deeply, and living with that fact has caused me no small amount of guilt over the past three months. So, yes, I have been preoccupied, and it has made my mind wander, but... my heart? That's a fixed point. Three months riding the open waters couldn't shake it; I'll be damned if I let your insecurities shake it. My heart never left this boat. It's never left you. As far as I can see it's not going to anytime soon.
Ah, seafood, great change of pace, Pace.
S4Failing Down
[to Gretchen] I'm gonna sabatoge it, huh? Hmm, me-thinks you've been watching a little too much Oprah.
Charming? It's like something out of Better Homes and Crap.
Good lord woman, you really are a fickle mistress, you know that? I mean without kissing, what do we really have left?
Precious little, we should probably break up.
Yeah, well, we had a good run, huh?
Mm-hmm
[They kiss]
My father, who is a world class cretin, says stuff like that to the help all the time and I always think what an idiot, you know? I mean they're just going to go back in the kitchen and spit in his food...or worse even.
Fancy that, will you excuse me while I go check on your order.
[to Jen] Take it from someone who spent the better part of last spring angry at the world, it's not worth it. I mean, it might numb the pain a little bit, but it's basically just a distraction. My point is: if you do it right, Jen, loving somebody is gonna hurt and the sooner you let yourself feel that, the sooner you'll be able to love again.
S4Two Gentlemen of Capeside
Must be the Star Wars thing.
Star Wars thing?
It's classic, you are obviously Luke to this Pacey guy's Han Solo. So you're the stuff of pre-teen daydreams, cute, smart, non-threatening. Which is great and all, but not for princess Joey here who is clearly smack dab in the middle of her bad boy phase.
And where do you fit in to this whole scenario Drue? Jabba the Hut, I think.
Jennifer, I'm not so old that I don't remember how important senior fall term is.
Old enough to call it fall term.
[cell phone rings while they are working on a project] Hello, hey gorgeous.
Unbelievable.
Unacceptable. [grabs cell phone] Hello, gorgeous is it? Hi, yes, this is Drue's doctor and he's gonna have to get back to you when the syphilis clears up, ok? Bye-bye.
[watching Joey and Pacey kiss] Just doesn't seem fair, does it?
What's that?
Well, you saved the day and you still don't get the girl. [pause] But maybe, just maybe, you got something more important.
[sigh] How do you figure that?
You have this moment. No matter where your life takes you, you can look back on this and know that you did a great thing. That's something that all the girls and all the things in the world can't replace.
Look, I know that things between you and I are pretty much beyond repair right now. And, I wouldn't presume to be able to solve everything with a conversation 'cause that's just not the way it works. But, I've been wanting to tell you that I'm sorry Dawson. I'm really sorry for the way everything went down this spring. For my part in it, for the pain that it must have caused you. And, [sigh] I'm really sorry that I ruined our friendship, because I miss it, badly. And, uh, however far off it may be, I do look forward to the day when you and I might be friends again...so until then.
Until then.
