Pacey: Get in bed Potter, and while you're at it, get over yourself.
Joey: Get your butt away from me.
Pacey: Potter, my butt wants nothing to do with your butt.
Joey: I expected you to say goodbye.
Pacey: Right... The goodbye scene I've played that one a thousand times in my head.. I come to you , heart in hand, and announce my plans. You stare at me, pained. But then the Potter sarcasm kicks in. And I never get what I came for.
Pacey: I'm a firm believer that sometimes its right to do the wrong thing.
Pacey: I'm tired of being Dawson Leery's sidekick. It's time to get my own storyline.
Joey (To Dawson): If you and I are going to have an honest relationship, there's something you should know... I broke things off with Pacey, not entirely, but in a large part because I didn't wan to lose you. You're so much of my life. Your house is my house. Your family is my family. There's not a single significant event I've experienced that you haven't experienced with me. I was afraid of losing all that. But if that wasn't the choice, if I thought there was a chance you would forgive me, I might of chosen differently. I just thought you deserved to know that.
Dawson : Joey, Come on, Even I can see it. Pacey's this years Paris. And you need to go this time. You need to see for yourself. I can sit here and tell you that it's a colossal mistake, that all roads lead back to me, but it doesn't matter. Words, speeches, they sound great, but they don't add up to anything. All that matter's is what you want.
Joey: I don't even know what that is.
Dawson: Sure you do. You want him, You want him like I want you. You love him like I love you. Only difference is he loves you back the same way.
Jen (To Joey): I'll let you in on a little secret about the so called fearless... We're not as tough as you think we are, Pacey's heart is just as breakable as the next guy's. Maybe even more so. Considering it was already broken when you got there.
Joey: I felt it.
Pacey: What?
Joey: This morning when your arm brushed up aganist mine in bed... I felt it.
Pacey: How did it feel?
Joey: It made me feel alive.
Pacey: The course of True Love never did run smoothly.
Pacey: yeah, She is pretty, she is very very pretty. she's actually the kind of pretty that gives you butterflies, you know what I mean?"
Dawson: Nobody welcomes a Potter-Witter detente more than me. I'm glad she has somebody. It'll only help as Joey and I weave our separate ways throught these pathless woods we call life.
Pacey: Note to self. Career Options, Delete Hotel Management.
Pacey: She's so beautiful that everytime you look at her, your knees tremble, your heart just melts and you know right then and there, without any reservations that there's order and meaning to the universe.
Pacey: (to Joey) If you felt even one shred of what I feel for you, then we wouldn't be standing here having this converstaion.
Dawson:(to Joey) The question is will your lips ever find Pacey's?
Pacey: I think maybe I should head inside and sing myslef some more kareoke, because Lord knows that is what I want to be doing right now is singing myself some kareoke.
Pacey: Look at her. She's a freakin' goddess man. How long did you think it's gonna be before some guy, somewhere, notices that and gets interested in her? And what are you gonna do then, my friend? You gonna pratice what you preach and let the girl go or dig on in for Dawson's last stand?
Dawson: I'll figure that out as it comes.
Pacey: Better figure it out quick. Cause this guy, whoever he is, he's not gonna be your best friend, Dawson. He's not gonna ask permission. When he wants to dance with Joey, he's just gonna cut right in.
Joey: Can I give you a hand?
Dawson: Sure, What'dya think? Maybe John here will inspire me to walk my own path.
Joey: You've always walked your own path. You just have to widen it a lil... And look out for your Yoko.
Joey to Pacey: Don't make my mistake. Don't let yourself be so angry that you stop loving. Because one day you'll wake up from that anger, and the person you love will be gone.
Joey: Once again, Dawson Leery proves that the groin is mightier than the brain
Pacey: Ahoy! Anyone ashore?
Joey: What are you doing here?
Pacey: Well, a funny thing happened. I got in Dawson's rowboat and it magically drifted to your dock.
Joey: Magically drift any closer and I'll kill you
Pacey: I almost believe that.
Pacey: Oh please, she can't help herself. My butt, really, it's like a magnet, chicks they just can't keep their eyes off of it.
Pacey: You know, maybe I could be one of those guys who warms up the girls before they go on stage.
Joey: It's not a porno Pacey.
Joey: Hey JailBait.
Pacey: Feel free to keep walking, I won't think you're rude.
Joey: Dawson, your favorite movie is ET.
Dawson: So?
Joey: A fat fingered alien who eats Reese's Pieces, and flies around on a bicycle?
Pacey: I don't talk trash, I recycle.
Jen: Okay Pacey, time to pull up your pants now.
Joey: Pacey has bigger biceps.
Dawson: He does not.
Joey: Well, are you sure? 'Cause I thought he did.
Pacey: Dawson, you're not a little Oompah-Lumpah anymore. You're a big, bad, manly Oompah-Lumpah.
Dawson: Every insecurity I have about myself exists inside those two words. Oompah-Lumpah.
Dawson: It's just a matter of time.
Joey: Before what? Before my brain short circuits and I start bedding down with every guy with a fast car and big biceps.
Dawson: Before you find the right person
Joey: I have.
Dawson: Perfect. Can I borrow it?
Jack: I don't think that's a great idea Dawson, Pieces of the last boat you borrowd are still floating around the creek
Pacey: Dawson Leery couldn't have scripted this any better
Joey: What do you mean?
Pacey: Don't you get it? No matter what I do he wins, If I drop out, he wins. If I race, I'm forced into competing with him. If I win that race, I beat... you. And guess who wins.
Pacey: You think indulging in some James Dean meets Greece Lightning fantasy is going to prove that you're a better man than me?
Dawson: I don't have to prove that. You made that clear when you moved in on on Joey.
Dawson: Don't you get it Joey. You can't go back. You can't come to my room and pop in ET and sit with me on my bed and have it be the same. And you can't dance with him at the prom I organized and expect me not to get hurt.
Joey: YOu told me tonight was about you and me, and our friendship. But if that were true it wouldn't matter who I danced with
Dawson: I said tonight was about moving forward. What did you think tha meant? YOu can't think that's all I wanted. Of course I want more.
Joey: I don't know why we can't just try to get our friendship back
Dawson: Because don't you see. The entire reason I suggested this stupid alternative prom- it wasn't about Jack- It was about you. Maybe I was trying too hard, but I didn't want to miss my chance to dance with you, to hold you, to make you remember what it's like between us. I thought if only I could make tonight perfect...
Joey: That I'd pick you. Say it Dawson--You thought that if you orchestrated this whole evening, I'd be convinced into picking you over Pacey.
Dawson: You have to pick someone Joey! And I wanted to remind you what you'd be missing if you didn't pick me. Because you'd be missing a lot. Ans so would I. We'd be missing everything.
Joey: I can't believe you Pacey. Just when I think I have you all figured out you do something like this... something outrageous, something that challenges me in a way no one else would even think of. And in case I don't say it enough. Thank You
Pacey: Well, It's about time Potter.
Pacey: I've kinda got this problem.
Jen: So I've noticed.
Pacey: Is ir that obvious?
Jen: It's starting to be.
Pacey: Do you think maybe we can still pretend like it's not?
Jen: Only if we pretend to have a conversation about it
Pacey: You're really gonna make me do this? Okay, okay. Let's make believe I've gotten myself into a impossible situation. Pretned like I've... I've sorta falling or have fallen for the worst person I could ever have fallen for. What would you tell me to do?
Jen: I'd tell you that any impossible situation is not get get any better if you don't do something about it.
Pacey: Usually when I have moments like that, I have to change the sheets."
Pacey: Wait, you're just going to walk out like that? No father/son warning, no rules and regulations, no impending doom shall you sainted son behave?
Mitch: Good Idea, Keep Pacey out of the house.
Joey: So is that why you named your boat True Love, B/C you think that it's okay for casual acquaintances or even friends to just, you know, use each others as scratching posts?"
Joey: Throwing parties, crashing boats, upstaging marching bands, Dawson, if your rope was any more yanked, you'd be a church bell.
Pacey: Ain't she beautiful?"
Joey: Yeah, in a Titanic post iceburg sort of way." (On True Love.)
Jen: Dawson, I hear they're playing Jaws.
Dawson: Jaws? Never heard of it.
Joey: You got me, Jen. We did it. All day, All night. 24/7 Were you aware that there are atleast 38 unknown different sexual positions? And 42 if you're flexible enough.
Joey: That aside, I would like to offer you this brick to you as a...
Dawson: Please don't say a symbol.
Joey: As.... an emblematic artifact, representing the foundation of a new friendship
Dawson: I feel like I'm at a ribbon cutting of a strip mall
Joey: Quit Joking.
Dawson: Truth is, Joey. It's gonna take a lot more than a symbol to get back what we had. And right now, I don't even know if I want it. We'll just have to take it one day at a time. YKnow?
Joey: I know
Pacey: Just one question, Potter. What did you think about the 7th time that you stalled?
Joey: That I'm never driving stick again
Pacey: See, right there, that's a bad sign. I've been singled out.
Joey: Don't worry sweetie. They probably just want to extend a hand and let you know that they're there to help you fulfil your destiny as the world's greatest gas station attendant.
Jack: That's the umpteenth time today you've checked your email.
Jen: You lie.
Jack: I don't know. Everytime I passed the computer lab today, I saw the same bosomy blonde behind the same blueberry Imac
Pacey: How can you be so sure?
Joey: Because I'm not going anywhere without you.
Pacey: Wait, that's not all. There's something else I wanted to say too... I know that things between us are pretty much beyond repair right now. And I wouldn't ever presume to try and make everything better with a conversation, so that's not what this is- but I wanted to tell you, I wanted to say about everything that happened last spring... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for my part in it. And I'm sorry for the pain I know it caused you. But mostly I'm sorry because I miss out friendship. And however far off it may be, I look forward to the day we can be friends again. So, Until Then...
Dawson: Until Then.
Jen: Two things you should know. I absolutely refuse to make out with you. And there's a distince possibility that I'll puke.
Joey: What do you know, Pacey. Those are my two things
Joey: Do me a favor. When it comes to life and death matters, remember you're thinking for two.
Pacey: I can do that
Joey: Okay, I want to make a toast. All the love and happiness in the world to my friend Jen Lindly, on her birthday.
Jen: Thanks Joey, But you know its not really my birthday.
Joey: That's okay, We're not really friends.
Joey: So you're in love with me huh?
Pacey: Not right this second. Right now you're just this crazy drunk girl I'm trying to get into the house without waking up all the paying customers at her sisters B&B. But in general, yes.
Pacey: Before you were kicking and screaming, now you want to be carried?
Joey: It's a womens prerogative to change her mind Pacey
Pacey: I thought you were a guy tonight. Guys walk, Come on, number four, On your feet.
Dawson: I've seen how much she loves him. I've seen it on her face. I've seen them kiss. I've seen them hold hands. And tonight, saw them fighting-- which is something I've basically been seeing everyday of my life since the 1st grade.
Gretchen: But not like this?
Dawson: I think it was actually worse than the kissing.
