I think what we're going to miss about you the most, McPhee, is your overwhelming optimism. Your ardent believe that everything in the world is wonderful until proven crap.
S4You Had Me at Goodbye
I reacted like Pacey.
You know who that guy you reacted like is going to be in 10 years, Pace? The person who knows me best. Dawson knows my past. My future lies with you. Think about it, you know you didn't even like me three years ago.
As you take on years Mr. Leery, you'll come to realize that you don't always lose people from your life by choice. Sometimes it just happens when you make the wrong ones.
Maybe not all friendships have to be saved. You know, maybe we're just meant to spend a certain part of our lives with certain people and then move on. Isn't that what this whole year is suppose to be about? Moving on?
Pacey, we can move on without moving away from each other.
Pacey, Joey, Dawson. You guys are so lucky. Do you have any idea how rare it is to have friends that you've known your entire life? So please don't underestimate that. Because in the end you always go back to the people that were there in the beginning. And in the beginning, there was the three of you.
S4The Unusual Suspects
Do you think it's possible that someday I could convince you that maybe I'm the type of person you could trust again?
I would like to believe that it is.
When you told me you'd never be able to trust me again, that was probably among the top 5 worst moments of my life.
When I walked out on my back porch and saw you and Joey, that was my worst. Number 1 with a bullet.
Pacey, I think that you're a daring original. I think you have a talent for flying in the face of conventionality. And I think that you were born to break the rules, not enforce them. And you know what? I actually admire that in you. I really do.
Today when I was going through your things I found your high school year book. Underneath your picture, the caption said that your life's ambition was to become a Hollywood filmmaker. Pretty striking coincidence given that I've had the exact same dream for as long as I can remember.
Good for you.
Scared the hell out of me. Cause I don't ever want to be like you. I don't ever want to be the kind of person who pushes everything and everyone away from him. I don't want to be alone. And I know that you don't want to be alone, either. You can't get rid of me, Mr. Brooks.
[Joey runs into Drue who's just been suspended from school after being framed for a prank]
Hey, Potter. Send a message to the boys for me. Tell them that I admire the brilliance of their design. No, wait. Just tell them that I said "touché."
Which boys? Who are you talking about?
[Drue is suddenly being forcibly escorted from the school building]
Drue, what's going on? What happened?
Karma... finally caught up with me.
S4Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
You sound like a guy who just broke up with this girl. And he's happy he broke up with her; at least he says he is. And he goes on and on about how much better off he is without her. But the thing is, he can't stop talking about her. Everything comes back to this girl. You love this girl, Dawson.
And that, oddly enough, has not kept her from breaking my heart time and time again.
Jo, this world, it is opening its doors to you. And when you step through, you are going to be such an amazing part of all this. And wherever you chose to go, you're doing them a favor. Not the other way around.
I know that I don't fit in...
KMr. Kubeck
Joey, you didn't blow it. Your academic record stands on its own. You're a stunningly bright young lady and no one is grading you on your social skills. Be that as it may, you couldn't ask for a better character witness than that boyfriend of yours. Seriously. He just talked the dean's ear off all about you. How you changed him. How you helped him. How he couldn't imagine a better life than one with you by his side. It's a rare gift to have someone say such things about you.
I think I'm ready to make a movie again.
Oh, crisis of faith over. I'll alert the media.
Now, laugh all you want.
I intend to. Now what is this picture of yours going to be about?
You.
Excuse me? Say that again into my good ear, would you?
My mov... my picture is going to be about you. Your life story. We'll talk later. Enjoy the party.
I just wanted these people to see you through my eyes for one night. To see this girl. This woman, who has more class and intelligence and beauty and grace then anyone else who's walking the face of the planet. Maybe things like this just come tumbling out of my mouth because I happen to be head over heels in love with you. But the really scary thing is, I think that they're true.
