Dawson's Creek · Season 6
This celebration of madness about people who aren't afraid, who take chances, people who really live. And I guess that I've always... wanted to be one of those people, you know?
[Joey kisses him]
What was that?
Just following an impulse.
I don't mind you kissing me if it's because you want to kiss me, not for revenge or to help you forget someone else. Whatever happened between you guys, you're gonna have to deal with it. Yourself. Just... just you.
Maybe it's the only way that we could finally stand on our own. You know, to... hurt each other so much that we have no choice but to let go. Maybe otherwise we never would.
Yeah. Maybe.
Do you think it would have worked out between us if I... if we hadn't... if things had been different?
I don't know. I mean, that's the thing with us. They never are, are they?
I... think I'm going back to California. 'Cause I don't really work here anymore.
I'm sorry, Dawson.
Things happen.
You know... what happened to Audrey tonight... it's happened to me before... more than once, and... to watch it... to watch her go through it was... just weird. Now you know what a mess I am.
I don't think you're a mess.
Well, then you haven't been paying very close attention tonight.
No. You know... Jen, you didn't do anything wrong tonight. And whatever mistakes you have in your past, they're over, and they've obviously made you a more empathetic and more compassionate person, and I don't think that's such a bad thing.
[to Joey] Look, Joey, I'm sorry I didn't turn out to be the person you thought I was, but you know what? Probably not too wise to invest that much in people you barely know.
Not everybody's willing to spend their lives being part of a despised minority.
Yeah. [Laughs] Well... that's true. But maybe you should ask yourself who's doin' the despising. You know, it's one thing to be some scared teenager, afraid of his... his friends, his family, afraid of what everybody he meets might think and say about him. You know, I can forgive that. Hell, I can expect that. But you, you're an adult. Ok, somebody's married to you. You're... you're ruining lives here on a much larger scale.
You have no idea, do you, of how much the world has changed?
Look, if the world's changed, it's because people are willing to stand up and be honest about things, not hide behind things that are easier.
[[to Eddie] Social conventions dictate that when something embarrassing happens, we all tacitly agree to never speak of them again. It's what keeps us going as a society. That...and alcohol.
If you let me do a little work on that t-shirt of yours. A few rips, a few tears. Do wonders for your tips.
My what?
Your tips. Your gratuities. [Laughs] What did you think I said?
Nothing!
So, you're coming, right? I mean, if the band can overcome their complicated romantic entanglements and still be friends, the least that we can do is all get along for one night.
All right, I am willing to grant that there is a certain karmic appropriateness to seeing one's ex-boyfriend for the first time at a No Doubt concert.
You're bending.
I'm not bending.
Oh, come on, you know you want to. Empowered female. Incredible fashion sense.
I suppose mojo Jojo will be attending.
Oh, come on, if you can-- if you can be with her in that tiny little dorm room of yours, you're going to be just fine in a crowd of 14,000 strangers.
So she's bringing that guy, right?
Mm-hmm, but we don't have to sit next to them. We're using the gays as a barrier between the breeders and the bitter, single girls.
You're not going to regret this, I swear. You're here, you're not in a suit. This is good. This is very, very good. Where is everybody else?
They're at the concession stand. Jack and Emma, and, uh... the guy and the guy's friend.
Yeah, well, his name is David, which you might want to remember. I think he's going to stick.
What, you possess the psychic ability to see into the future of relationships now?
Yes, just not my own.
Hey. I did call you, you know.
I know. At least I figured that I shouldn't talk to you until I hated you a little less.
Oh, well... how's that going for you?
It's going, yeah. The problem is now I kind of hate myself, but, uh...
Audrey, can we go talk a walk? Maybe talk someplace that's a little quieter and slightly more private before all the madness starts?
[Chuckles] You really are an old man, aren't you?
So you really don't mind taking Audrey home?
Well, sure, I mind, but, you know, my inner drama queen respects her refusal to come out of the bathroom till Jen and Pacey leave.
Heh heh heh! Thanks, man. I just don't want to ditch Jen, you know. I mean, I don't think this evening turned out quite the way she planned.
Hmm. Yeah. I know the feeling.
So, we're, uh, not doing too well at this, are we?
Well, the hanging out has been good. But the dating? I think it's safe to say that when two gay guys go on a date, and each ends up going home with a hot blond girl, something's definitely not working.
Yeah.
[Dawson and Natasha are kissing outside the police station as Todd comes storming out]
Ok, shag wits, to the car! Let's go! Chop, bloody chop! Or am I gonna have to throw cold water on you both?
I think he's mad.
Real mad.
For the record, never let it be said that Todd Carr is a man who's not in love with being in love. I think both my movies and my life reflect my deep and abiding commitment to getting two good-looking young people together and having a bit of fun now and again. However... as leery here bloody well knows...
You're also a man who's in love with sleep.
To the car. Now.
