Dawson's Creek (1998–2003): Season 2, Episode 16 - Be Careful What You Wish For - full transcript

On Dawson's 16th birthday, he, Pacey and Andie follow her therapist's advice and throw themselves into an unabashed night of recklessness where both Dawson and Andie get drunk at the jazz club and end up on stage singing the blues. Meanwhile at the Leery house, Joey is organizing a surprise party for Dawson. But the longer the guest of honor is a no-show, the more she is subject to surprises of her own. Abby and two of her girlfriends crash the party and taunt Jack over his recent 'coming-out.' Jen and Ty finally face up to their potentially irreconcilable differences in which they break up for good. Also, Gayle and Mitch come to decisions about how to raise their son in light of their divorce.

Goosebumps.

Viewer beware.

You're in for a scare.

Lay it!

Get with it, Judith.
Come on.

Let's go!

Oh! Oh!

Have a nice trip, Byrd?

Samantha Byrd.

Keep your head up.
Get back in there.

It's no good, Coach.
I'm...

You're a natural, Samantha!

A natural klutz.
Now, that's enough
of that.

Come on, Byrd.
You're my tallest player.

I need you on my team.

One more time, Anna.

- Go for it, Sam!
- Hey, Cory.

Ball.

Okay.
Oops!

- Come on, Sam!
- Get into the game!

Why don't you fly away, Byrd?
Take off!

Give the team a chance.
All right, Judith.
That's enough!

Okay, girls. Back to work!

Free throws!
Judith, back to the line.

Ready?

- Here you go, Byrd.
- Oh, come on, guys.

Give her a break.
She stinks!

Sam!

Oh, my God! Help!

Cory!

Sam, it's okay.

Just relax.

I know you're scared.
Just try to breathe.

You just had the wind
knocked out of you.

For a moment there,
I thought the Byrd
was really gonna do it.

Do what?
Fly away.

Byrd girl cleared for takeoff.

Shh!
Samantha?

Want to help me
strangle Judith?

Bad idea.
Why?

Give me one good reason.
Your basketball team
will never win another game.

But why does she pick on me?
I did nothing to her.

Don't let her get to you.
Judith is Judith.

I wish...
I don't know what.

The Byrd actually
tried to fly today.

She's as clumsy at flying
as she is at basketball.

I tripped because of...

- Nice lip control.

That is so disgusting.

I-I'm really sorry!

Ooh.

Hey, Bobby.

Oh!
Oh, I'm sorry. I...

- Excuse me.
- I'm really sorry. I...

- I-I didn't see you.
- No.

I'm sorry
to have frightened you.

Oh.

There it is.
I have been looking
all over for this.

It's yours?
I found it in the gym.

Isn't it amazing
how lost objects...

they find their way
to strange places?

Really strange.
But if it's yours, here.

Thank you.

Now, maybe you can help me
with something else.

Can you tell me how
to get to Moss Avenue?
Moss Avenue.

- That's way across town.
- Oh.

How could that have happened?
How could I be so far
out of my way?

That happens to me
all the time.

It's kind of you to say so,
but I don't believe it.
Oh, no. Really.

It's true.
Would you mind
taking me there?

Gee, I have to get home.

Please.

I'd be so grateful.

If it's not too far
out of your way.

Sure. I guess
it's not that far.

You are so kind.
Thank you, uh...

Samantha Byrd.

Thank you, Samantha Byrd.

You may call me Clarissa.

Oh.

I don't know how
I could have got so lost.

Ah.
Are you sure this is
where you want to be?

This is fine.
Okay, then. Bye.

Wait. I'd like
to give you something...

for being so kind
to a stranger.

You don't have to
give me anything, really.

Most young people
wouldn't be so kind.

You must let me repay you.
Please. I insist.

I shall grant you...
three wishes.

Uh, sure. I mean,
that's really cool.

But I don't have
any wishes right now.
I've gotta go.

Of course! I've kept you
far too long already.

But understand that
this is no joke, Samantha.

Make your first wish.

Uh, okay.

I wish I was the best player
on the basketball team.

Uh, that's not important.
Really, just forget it.

I've got to go.
Wait.

I want you to have this.

And by the way,
your wish will come true.

You will be
the best player on the team.

One, two, three, Mustangs!

Yeah! Let's go!

Let's do it!

Try it again.

It's okay, Sam.

It's okay! It's all right.

Okay!

Let's get some points going!

Oh, boy. Okay.
Let's keep it in.

Come on now.

What is going on out there?

I don't know.
I don't feel so good.

- Anna, how are you feeling?
- Hmm?

Come on!

- Throw it to me!
- No, Sam! The other way!

Other way!

Come on, Sam!
Come on!

Try again.

One more time!

Oh, God.

Oh! Oh-ho-ho!

It was you, wasn't it?

Oh!
You made us
lose the game.

No! It was your wish.

I just carried it out.

But I wanted to be
the best on the team.
Oh!

I was the best, all right,
because everyone else
was terrible!

Well, wishes are complicated.

Magic isn't an exact science,
you know!

I mean, I did
the best that I could.
Great.

I know you're upset, Samantha.
That's why I'm here.

The next time...

you must be very careful
what you wish for...

and very clear...

how you phrase it.

Do you have another wish?
Not right now, thank you.

I've gotta go.

You found it?

This weird lady said
it was hers, and then she
gave it back to you?

Yeah.

What's your problem?
Our problem is you.

When are you going to
quit the team?

It's your fault
we lost yesterday.

I didn't see you two
make any great plays.

That's because
we spent our time covering
for Byrd brain here.

Just... Just leave me alone!

I wish everyone
would just buzz off!

Cory?

Judith?

Anna!

Oh!

Please, is...
is anybody here?

I... I didn't mean it!
Really, I'm sorry!

Mr. Johnson! Oh!

Oh!

No!

I didn't mean it, Clarissa!

Not everyone!

Hello! Anybody there?

Please!

Clarissa!

Bobby!

Mom! Dad!

No! Don't!
That's my mom or my dad!

Oh!

- My goodness.

Sorry.

Look what you've done.

I knew you'd be unhappy
with your wish.

It's all Judith's fault.
If she weren't so mean...

I never meant to
turn anyone into a fly.

I know, but remember
what you said.

- Buzz off?
- Mm-hmm.

I followed
your instructions
as best I could.

I do have some powers, Sam...

I'm not a mind reader.

I do as I'm asked.

But what good is a wish
if it always backfires?

They don't always backfire.

Anyway, you still have
one more wish.

Only you must be careful.

This is your last wish.

I wish...
Ah, ah!

Right. I have to
get this one right.

Take your time.

Okay!

I've got my wish.
There.

Tell me your wish.

I wish everything
to go back to normal...

the way it was
before the flies...

except I want Judith
to be my friend.

All right.
No, wait!

I want Judith to think
I'm the greatest.

I understand.

- Who are you
talking to, honey?
- Is Dad okay?

Of course.
He's in the living room.

Hello?
One moment, please.

Someone by the name of Judith.

Sam! Over here.

How do you like it?
I made it just for you.

It's good.

And how do you
like this?
Great.

- It's just like yours.
- Come on, ladies. We've got
a lot of work to do!

Sam? Judith?

What are you waiting for?
Hustle up now.

Oh, here. Let me get you
a clean uniform.

Hello. It doesn't matter
what Byrd wears.

She's a walking catastrophe.

And what have you done
with your hair?

Don't you love it?
It's just like Sam's!

Anybody home?

- Defense!
- - Can you help me?

- The other way.
- Me, help you?

You're a natural.
Show me how you do it.

Shake it out. All right.

Okay. Sure.

Get low!

To this side.

The other way.
That's it, that's it.

Tough break.
That's how I want
to learn to shoot.

Good. Back!

Defense!

What are you
gonna have?
I don't know.

What are you gonna have?
Whatever you have.
You have such great taste.

And maybe on the weekend,
we can go shopping.

I mean, you have to tell me
where you get your shoes.

They're just your basic shoes.

But I love the color.

Yeah. Basic black.

Have you ever noticed
how Sam has the coolest
colored pencils?

I was just going to say.

She can do so much with
your eight basic colors.

Sam, can I
talk to you?
Sure.

Alone.
Oh, hey, sure.

Uh, listen, Sam.
I'll talk to you later.

Maybe we can
study together tonight?

Uh, I think I'll be busy.
Sorry.

That's cool.
Whatever.

Later.

- What's going on?
- What's up with her?

You wouldn't believe it.
It's m... my...

It must have been
something I said.

Ugh. It feels like
something I ate.

Well, what do I do?

Well, if your old worst enemy
is your new best friend,

shouldn't you be happier?

Hi, Sam.
It's Judith.

You're not in,
so I guess I'll
call you later.

Hi! It's Judith again!
Call me when you get in.

- Hey, where are you?
- It's Judith. Call me.

- Hi. It's Judith.
- I'll call you later.

Sam, it's Judith.
I hope you're okay.

Shh! It's just me,
Judith.

What...
What are you doing here?

I snuck in
and hid in your closet.

What, are you nuts?
You said we could
study together later.

Not tonight.
It's way too late!

Sam? Are you
talking on the phone?
No, Mom. It's okay.

You know you're not
allowed on the phone
after lights out.

Yeah.
Good night, Mom.

I just love your room.

These sheets
are so cool.
Shut up!

You have to be completely quiet
until I can find a way
to get you out of here.

Sorry.

The forecast:
mostly sunny skies today.

Bye, Mom.
I'll see you after school.

- Have a good day, dear.
- Hi!

I thought maybe we could
walk to school together.
No!

Sam! Wait! What's the matter?
I thought we were best friends!

Short cut.

Stop bothering me!
What do you mean?

Oh!
Oh! Oh!

Oh. Uh...
You!

I know. I know, I know.
You're still unhappy.

Your wishes
have ruined my life!

- Hello, everyone.
- Oh!

I don't want you to be unhappy.

I was only trying
to repay your kindness.

- I wish I'd never met you.
- What are you guys
talking about?

If that is what you desire,

I will cancel your last wish
and give you another chance.

Sam, you know
the most interesting people.
It is my desire.

Then make your wish.

Here's my wish.
I wish I'd never met you.

- Is that your wish?
- N-No. Here's my full wish.

I wish I...
Get lost.
Isn't she the greatest?

I wish I'd never met you.

I wish you'd
met Judith instead.

So, you know what
you're gonna wish for?

What are you doing here, Byrd?

- Lose your compass
on your migration?
- She's back.

If you don't mind,
I'm trying to have
a private conversation here.

- Oh, sure.

I wish...

that wherever I was,
people would gather around
and admire me.

Oh.

Oh, look. How beautiful.

It's lovely.

Yes!
