[To Pacey] Happiness, it freaks me out.
S5In A Lonely Place
[To Pacey] That's kind of the essence of Audrey, isn't it? I mean, she just zeros in on the one thing that you're slightly afraid of, and then she just does not take no for an answer. That's a good quality to have in a person.
So what is the best ending in all of literature? Don't say Ulysses. Everyone says Ulysses.
WProfessor Wilder
That's easy. Sentimental Education by Flaubert.
And what happens?
WProfessor Wilder
Nothing, really. Just two old friends sitting around remembering the best thing that never happened to them.
How do you remember something that never happened?
WProfessor Wilder
Fondly. You see, Flaubert believed that anticipation was the purest form of pleasure... and the most reliable. And that while the things that actually happen to you would invariable disappoint, the things that never happened to you would never dim. Never fade. They would always be engraved in your heart with a sort of sweet sadness.
Would you believe she almost had an affair with her English professor?
Joey?
Mm-hmm.
Joey Potter?
Yeah.
Wow.
S5Highway To Hell
So what is the name of this place we're going to, anyway?
Uh, the 'Drunk and the Dead.'
Oh, that sounds like a nice family joint.
I think I dreamt this once.
What are you talking about?
You, me, a big backseat.
This backseat has no implications.
Hey, I didn't say that it did.
This is strictly business.
All my backseat transactions are.
Let's just enjoy this for what it is, a wacky road trip high jinx with a motley crew and their collective sexual tension.
Throw in a bag of pork rinds, you got yourself a deal.
[To Charlie] And I just got tired of hating you so intensely, but make no mistake if you do anything to hurt Joey, I will make you regret it for the rest of your waking days.
Is it completely stupid for me to get clothes for my little sister for her birthday?
No, I think that it's great, you know. She's finally developing her own sense of style as opposed to that typical blatant nudity.
S5Cigarette Burns
I was hoping that maybe you might let me sit next to you, and then, possibly, if I just sat there, then, maybe... whatever happened to make you like me, well, maybe it could happen again.
Don't get your hopes up.
[chuckles] Too late.
You're thinking that I'm the most attractive and formidable woman you've ever been in the same room with. Though you're terrified of rejection, you like me and you want to take me out on a proper date.
I do wanna ask you out. Very much. Very, very much. And, you know, you... [chuckles] ...you... you make me nervous.
I know I do.
I've had this truly bizarre, life-altering year. I... I dropped out of USC to be with this girl who I've loved in one way or another for pretty much my whole life, and then my father died, which completely rocked my universe, and then I jumped headfirst into this really intense relationship with this other girl, and we just broke up, and--and the movie has nothing to do with any of these things, but in a way, it has to do with all of them.
[after having sex] I am more glad. I am gladder. Gladdest. And I can't feel anything below my waist. Is that supposed to happen?
Give me another hour, you'll be in a coma.
[panting] Where... on Earth... did you learn how to do that?
National Geographic.
[to Joey] No, I was going to say that I want to take you into the bathroom and do ungodly things to you.
S5100 Light Years From Home
So this is spring break, it doesn't really look like the brochures.
Hey. I provided the house, you people we supposed to bring on the fun. There are some pizzas.
We could rent some movies...
...or play strip poker.
AJAudrey, Joey and Jen
NO!
Come on, its not like I haven't seen you all naked before. Ok, ok. We'll rent movies.
