Dawson's Creek (1998–2003): Season 5, Episode 10 - Appetite for Destruction - full transcript
Pacey offers to cook for the gang on their weekly dinner at Grams house. Jen and Dawson return early and decide to keep their sexual encounter a secret, but they are caught by everyone making out at the door. The dinner goes on in a very awkward way for everyone as Audrey and Dawson worry about Joey, while Jack and Pacey worry about Jen. Charlie later drops by to talk to Jen, causing some tension for Dawson.
-There you go.
-Thank you.
-The rice is looking gummy.
-No, it's risotto, Jo.
-lt's just absorbing the stock.
-Don't hinder the man's process.
-l'm starving.
-Me too!
-What gives with the fancy rice?
-lt's risotto.
lt has to be built.
Well, that's awesome,
but if the plan is for us to bond...
...let's order pizza
and give each other manicures.
Aside from the fact we said
we would have these weekly dinners...
...and have failed to do so, Pacey's
cooking. On his night off, no less.
We should welcome
the break from dining hall food.
You promised a Grams. l see
no Grams, so the evening is ruined.
Liking the decor, however. You guys
ever eat off the plates on the wall?
You know the onion
l asked you to chop?
-Yes. Yes, l do.
-Fork it over.
l'm sorry. l thought you were
making me feel included...
...by giving me a little task to do.
l didn't....
Pace.
Where are Jen and Dawson?
The festival ended yesterday.
Jen called. Said they were staying
an extra day. Something about...
...soaking up the atmosphere.
-Back at Grams'.
-That's right.
The harsh reality of life at Grams'.
The endless cycle of home-cooked
meals and grueling knitting sessions.
-You mock me.
-l do mock you.
l just enjoyed our
little escapist adventure. l mean...
...l don't know what l'm gonna
say to her.
You don't have to say anything.
Are you proposing that we sneak
around, Dawson Leery? Because...
...you know, l am that kind of girl.
l am proposing that we just
enjoy what we have going on...
...and don't worry so much about
what to tell other people.
Who is this footloose
and fancy-free boy?
Why don't we go inside?
Hey, guys.
Pacey made rice.
lt's not supposed
to be this gummy, okay?
You're supposed to serve it right away
before it coagulates.
l'm sorry, that's probably our--
My fault for the coagulation.
-l didn't know everyone would be here.
-Or that Pacey was cooking.
Right. Who could have guessed?
Already finishing
each other's sentences.
Oh, my God! Will you look at that. What
gets out rice? Joey, come help me.
-Subtle, Audrey.
-Don't you need some serious girl talk?
l mean, aren't you, at this very moment,
resisting the temptation...
...to grab a knife and grind away
at your wrist?
No, l'm fine.
We didn't have to cause a scene.
We didn't have to, but it's not like
we're missing the dinner of the century.
Seriously, Joey, are you okay?
Yeah. Look, so they had
a fun weekend together.
They were kissing. Believe me, it's
literally nothing l haven't seen before.
Yes, right. Joey, come on.
This isn't first-week Audrey
that you're talking to here.
This is December Audrey.
l am wise.
l've been studying your people
for a great many months...
...and l know how it works.
And also, l know a thing or two
about the casual kiss.
And l'm sorry, but that kiss
looked decidedly uncasual.
l know that you're just this,
like, nice country girl...
...who grew up on a stream
or whatever...
...but don't you know
what l'm talking about?
l'm sorry.
What's the topic at hand?
Well, that clearly relations were had.
Scantily-clad and
possibly fully-naked relations.
Thank you for that image.
l'm sorry, it just seems like you need
a little slap in the face.
Come on, woman. A reaction, please.
l'm sorry to disappoint you,
but l don't have a reaction.
l'm gonna go see if there's something
l can do to help. l'll be right back.
Okay.
-Do you need to borrow a shirt?
-Oh, that would be great.
-Thanks.
-Okay.
So...
...Dawson.
-Dawson Leery.
-That's my name.
Yep.
-Well, come on, man.
-Come on what?
First, why aren't you eating
your risotto?
But second, and far more importantly...
...why, oh, why did you choose
to take...
...the lovely and talented Jen Lindley
away for the weekend?
A woman even my tribe
can't resist.
A woman who has tugged
the heartstrings of rebels...
...and frat boys alike, and here
you are not sharing the details?
-There's nothing to share.
-Really?
That's why you've been staring
at the bathroom door...
...wishing you had
telekinetic powers.
Which means to me either you are very
concerned about Audrey's wardrobe...
...or perhaps you're concerned
about Joey.
You can call me crazy, but l don't think
Joey's gonna mind a little kissing.
Unless, of course, something
more happened.
Now there's an interesting idea.
But what more could have
happened?
You guys, l'm not gonna
go over the bases with you.
-l didn't say bases. Did you?
-We don't need details.
All right, l'll be right back.
'' Bases'' is plural.
-He did.
-You think?
Definitely did.
-You feel different?
-l do.
l do. l feel different.
l mean, here we have Dawson Leery
walking amongst us.
l gotta say, l'm worried that maybe
he wasn't prepared.
We didn't even get a chance
to have the talk.
How do you know?
lt's not so much him as it is her.
Sick as it sounds, l know the look.
Oh, man. You know,
we almost did too.
l know. l know.
Come to think of it,
we almost did once too.
-What do you think it takes?
-A virgin and a straight guy.
-Damn.
-l'm fine, okay?
Seeing you kiss someone else
is always going to be a little weird...
...l won't lie.
But it makes perfect sense, you
and Jen getting back together.
Yeah, l....
l hadn't thought of it that way.
The '' back together'' part.
We're such different people now.
-l guess we all are. l hope.
-Yeah.
-So how did this...?
-Happen?
l don't know.
lt kind of took us both
by surprise actually.
Getting out of my house cleared
a lot of the cobwebs out of my head.
And everybody was so accepting
of the film, and....
As stupid as it is, they put us
in the honeymoon suite.
Well, there's no handbook
for this, is there?
No. Maybe we should think
of co-authoring one.
There's no graceful way
of having this conversation.
What conversation?
l mean, we're talking about a kiss.
Well, this is-- This is kind of silly.
l should have known.
l mean, when you two walked
in the door together....
l'm the last person in the world
you could call naive. No, really.
l get it, okay?
We don't have to make this
into a thing.
ln fact, let's not make this into a thing.
Okay?
l hate to break this to you, given
your obvious level of enthusiasm...
...but now it's time
for the second course.
You know what, Pace? lf cooking
is stressing you out...
...and we're all tired from whatever...
-...we could call this off if you want.
-Oh, no.
A good try, but no. There are
many more courses to come.
Though they may not be up to snuff
for finicky sorts such as yourself...
...l put a lot of time
and energy into them...
...so that has to be worth
something, right?
-You want some help?
-No, no, l'll be fine.
-l need salt.
-Don't have to ask me twice.
So they know.
Right.
Oh, God.
And Joey knows.
Oh, boy.
How did she react?
Like Joey.
-ls she upset?
-Yeah, she is and she isn't. l mean...
...you know, if you can
make any sense of that.
Man.
Last week she told me that...
...she couldn't think of anybody
better to take care of you than me.
l don't think this is
what she had in mind.
As much as l love those people
in the next room, l'm happy with you.
Okay?
And nobody else gets to weigh in
on that. Okay?
Okay.
l'm just gonna say it.
l think it's a little weird.
l thought you'd be all for Jen
being with someone like Dawson.
Nice, sensitive.
Shell-shocked, vulnerable? Come on,
guys. Somebody's gotta say it.
l don't think it's the best time
to experiment for either of them.
-Aren't you a little glad l said that?
-Okay.
But seriously, where's the Grams?
You've been evading the question
all night.
What, do you keep her
in the attic or something?
You know what? Audrey's right.
lt's inappropriate to be doing this
without Grams. This is her house.
-lf l'm staying, you're staying.
-You live here!
Less and less. lt's not the Will & Grace
land it once was.
Okay, l know leaving right now sounds
tempting, and it would be easy...
...but l don't think the easy thing is
gonna solve anything in the long run.
-Hey, what's going on in here?
-lt's lemon-roasted chicken.
ls it supposed to be
birthing the lemons like that?
lf that doesn't wake up
the taste buds, what will?
You stuff the lemons into
the chicken for flavouring.
-That's great. Let's serve it up.
-No. No. lt's not ready yet.
l prefer my chicken raw.
l don't know what the fuss is about.
Yeah, sure. Why not?
Cavemen used to do it.
Sure. That's a great idea.
Go grab the plates.
We'll serve it up, bloody as hell.
-Do they need some help in there?
-lf you want.
Joey...
...just so you know...
...for whatever it's worth,
and l don't know...
...what that is, but l just didn't....
l didn't plan on this.
l didn't assume that you did.
l know. l just....
This boy has always been between us
in one way or another...
...and l feel like you and l were finally
getting close. And l would just....
l would really hate for that to be
negated by this...
...development.
You know what, everyone seems to be
operating under this assumption...
...that we're all going to react
a certain way to this...
...and that that way is somehow
going to be apocalyptic.
l don't know how many different ways
to say this, but l'm fine. Really.
You're a good person, Jen.
That's exactly what Dawson needs
right now.
Pace, if l spot a vein,
do l win a prize?
So perhaps the chicken was taken
a bit before its time.
But, that said, l did
serve you the cooked parts.
Demented as my sense of humour
may be...
...l'm not trying to unleash
a health hazard here. So please...
...eat in peace.
So, Dawson, aside from the obvious,
how was the film festival?
l was afraid it was gonna be
some little Hee-Haw production...
...which it was, but in a good way...
...l think.
l met this guy who goes
to a film school in Boston.
l was thinking of checking it out.
-Really?
-Yeah.
Yeah, the idea of getting up
each morning...
...with a purpose beyond just getting
through the day is appealing.
So then you would end up
in Boston after all.
-Looks that way.
-Well, that's really cool, man.
lf you decide to move here,
there's plenty of room at Grams'.
That's a definite possibility.
God and man! Not again!
Joey!
Excuse me.
Maybe we should go over
our game plan.
Usually, the one who needs to talk is
the one who hurls food on her friend.
Okay, well, l need to talk.
Oh, l'm sorry. What can l do to make
you feel more comfortable?
Everyone's treating me
like a delicate flower in there...
...no thanks to these
emergency rushes to the kitchen.
What is wrong with you?
Why aren't you a delicate little flower?
Have you no soul?
Just a black, black void?
-Which question should l answer first?
-Okay.
He's moving to Boston.
How do you feel about that?
Fine. l feel nothing.
Okay? Nothing.
lt's not the most shocking news
in the world.
You know what?
When Dawson's father died,
it cancelled everything out.
-Understandably.
-Yes.
And yes, there was a point
where there were possibilities.
l guess. l don't know.
l guess l'll never know.
And we both thought that things
were going to happen.
But what happened
is that Dawson lost his father.
What kind of a person would l be
if l didn't understand that?
So, yeah, maybe...
...if this broke my heart,
l wouldn't have any right to say so.
Well, honey...
...you have the right
to say anything you want...
...when it comes to how you feel.
lt doesn't matter, okay?
lt is what it is.
Let me get that.
Hi.
Pacey, don't the salads
usually come first?
Well, Audrey, those with
sophisticated taste...
...save the salad for the third course.
lt cleanses the palate before dessert.
Don't listen to her. She can't even work
the dorm microwave.
Well, l didn't have one
growing up, okay?
My mother was afraid
of radiation poisoning.
Little did she know there were
more dangerous things, like her.
Are we gonna eat or what?
Well, don't you think we ought
to wait on Jen? Dawson.
Most nice people would, but who knows
how long pretty boy's gonna take to....
Oh, look. Bread.
l'm gonna check, see what's
taking her so long. Be right back.
Dawson. l'm sure she'll be right in.
l won't cause a scene.
l'm just gonna see if she's okay.
Look, l'm all for scene-causing.
l want to serve the guy up
as garnish for the third course.
But don't be that guy. l know you, man.
You're 1 0 times better than that guy.
-Charlie? l should hope.
-Not just Charlie.
The guy who checks in
long before the check-in is due.
lf you start your relationship like this,
panicking when she leaves a room...
...rushing out to size up
the competition...
...which is really what you're doing...
...the whole thing is gonna
have this needy overtone...
...that is a road best left untravelled.
That guy doesn't sound a lot like me.
Why do l get a feeling you're this guy?
Because generally,
you're a very wise man.
Don't think l don't appreciate
your advice. l do.
-But you're going anyway.
-Exactly.
Well, can't say l blame you.
Hey. ls everything okay?
Yeah. Am l holding up dinner?
-Don't worry about it. We'll wait.
-Okay. Thank you.
-Just one second.
-Take your time.
Nice to meet you too.
Forgive my friends if they're not vying
to meet you, but they're good like that.
Listen, l don't expect you to invite me
in for cocoa or anything.
l just wanted to bring you this
before finals.
The thought of you studying without
your Flaming Lips T-shirt saddened me.
Thanks.
Anyway...
...not that l expect you
to sympathise or anything...
...but Nora and l aren't....
That's great.
Well, but it looks like you are?
His name's Dawson.
l would have introduced you...
...if it weren't the most awkward
meet and greet known to man.
-Yeah.
-Look...
...not that this serves as an absolution,
but it seems like l have a habit...
...of picking the wrong guy and....
And l feel like maybe this time
l made the right choice.
Well, l honestly just
want you to be happy, Jen.
-And l want you to know that.
-l am.
l might see you around sometime?
Sure.
From afar.
At graduation.
Well, take care.
Sorry, you guys.
-Everything okay?
-Yeah. Everything's fine.
T-shirt returned. Case closed.
You know what? l'm gonna go
get some more salad.
l'll be right back.
You know, we need
to change the music. Jen?
Excuse me, l guess.
-There. How's that? You happy now?
-No, not really.
What, do you think it's too poppy?
Can we pretend that we're best friends
for a minute, all right?
You're sleeping with Dawson. Any
steps you want to fill me in on here?
No.
No. No steps, really. l just....
l don't know. lt just happened, Jack,
and l wish you could understand that.
Look, l understand, all right?
l'm close enough to both of you to know
that even when you were platonic...
...you put yourself up
on this first-love pedestal.
But, Jen, the guy's father just died.
He's trying to piece together how to get
on with his life, let alone his love life.
And you just stopped going out
with Charlie, what, a week ago?
ls this about Charlie? Because...
...l can't even tell you
on how many levels we're over.
This is not about Charlie.
lt's about you.
l just don't think you're aware
of how delicate...
...this little scenario is. That's all.
l am perfectly aware
of how delicate this--
l'm sorry. What did you
call my relationship?
--'' little scenario'' is. lf you think that
what's going on in the kitchen now...
...doesn't affect me, you're wrong.
lt does.
All the more indication that maybe it's
a little too soon?
Too soon for what?
Dawson and l are just trying to figure
out what's going on between us.
Which would be a lot easier had we not
come home to this lovely intervention.
Come on. lt's not like we planned it
like that.
-lt's a dinner, not an intervention.
-Well, it feels like it.
And....
l gotta ask...
...like, who are you to talk?
You've conveniently erased yourself
from my life for the past few months.
That's a two-way street. You haven't
been reaching out to me either.
Well, maybe that's
because l find it difficult...
...to talk with a guy who would choose
a beer bong over his boyfriend.
Oh, yeah? Well, maybe l don't wanna
bother trying to explain...
...to someone who's already
made up her mind about me.
Good. Then you should
know how it feels.
lt's like you haven't known me
for the last few years...
...if you think that l'm capable
of hurting Dawson.
-How could you think that?
-l don't know, Jen.
How can you write
your best friend off...
...as a two-dimensional,
beer-guzzling frat boy?
lt's not-- lt's not even that anymore.
And it's not Dawson, is it?
You and l used to operate
like this perfect clockwork.
You knew how l took my coffee.
l knew how you liked your toast.
l mean, what happened
to those people?
l'm just as happy living
in denial as the next guy...
...but really, is the food that bad?
All in all, l totally give you kudos
for keeping it together tonight.
Well, l'm glad you're here too.
Because sympathetic
as l am to the drama...
...it is nice to look across the table
and see someone...
...who is not really ready to kill herself
or the person sitting to her right.
Okay.
To not hating each other.
Cheers.
lf Grams ever does get home,
she won't be pleased to find out...
...you've rubbed the pattern
off her bowl.
Joey, l appreciate whatever reasons
you have for pretending you're fine...
...but you don't have
to do that with me.
Do you miss me?
Do you miss being around me?
Yes.
Joey, of course l miss
being around you.
lt's just that...
...when you were talking
about school and moving...
...all l could think about
was the distance between us.
l mean, our lives used
to happen together, Dawson.
l think some part of you won't
forgive me for changing the future.
No, no, Jo. l changed the future.
-l stayed.
-For what?
-You know for what.
-Then what happened?
Dawson, how did l go from being
on the corner of possibility...
-...to being nothing at all?
-You're not nothing at all, Joey.
You're the furthest thing from nothing.
Okay?
And l wish....
l wish l had an explanation.
You deserve one.
l don't--
Dawson, l don't want one
because l deserve it.
l don't want you to treat me how you
think you're supposed to. l just....
l just want you to tell me.
Something shifted
when my father died.
Something was lost.
And part of me...
...the part of me that was
still hopeful...
...thought that maybe
you and l could be on hold.
And then all of a sudden
this path that l was on...
...that seemed like such a great idea
when l started it, stopped making sense.
And the more l tried to stick to my
routine, the harder it was to breathe.
And then when Jen and l
got out of town, it was....
lt was like starting over.
Do you think that things
would have been any different...
...if maybe l had gone with you?
l don't know. l can't answer that.
l don't know.
All l know is...
...when l was with Jen,
l felt like me, you know?
Not the censored version of myself.
Not the sad version of myself. Just me.
For the first time in a long time.
And it....
lt felt good.
-You can't be yourself around me?
-You're hearing what you want to hear.
No, l think l'm hearing
what you're afraid to tell me.
Joey, it hurts to be around you.
When l see you,
it brings up 1 000 memories.
Not just of us,
but of my entire life before.
And it's like l'm frozen in this place
l can't bear to be.
l care about you so much.
As long as l can remember,
everything comes back to you.
No matter what was happening, the
thought of you was a constant comfort.
But l can't go back. lt just hurts.
Pace, this looks amazing.
Yeah, who delivered it, huh?
Say what you will.
Not that l have to tell you that.
But this one might actually
err on the side of edible.
So please do try it.
Thanks.
-This is really good, Pace.
-ls this espresso in the centre?
lt is indeed. Delivered
from my kitchen to your veins...
...for a night of wakeful studies.
-Very, very impressive, Pacey.
-Thank you.
Glad l salvaged something.
l promise that next time we do this...
-...it will be much easier.
-Next time?
We can't quit. You don't stop riding
a bike because you smash into a tree.
Well, it's just we're all juggling with
these new developments in our lives.
-Maybe we should take a break.
-From each other?
How did we get here?
lt seems like we've drifted,
despite our best efforts.
Oh, l don't know. You might
be overestimating at '' best efforts.''
l don't think a couple
of drunken mishaps...
...and the occasional cup of coffee
really cuts it.
Well, that's sort of--
Thank you.
Maybe if we had done these dinners
like we planned...
...the gap wouldn't have
gotten so wide.
l had to give my cooking skills
time to gestate.
lt's only natural, guys, that we
drift apart a little bit. l mean...
...trite as it sounds,
we're not in high school anymore.
Do you guys know how lucky you are?
l can't name two people that
l still talk to that l knew when l was 1 5.
Maybe you shouldn't be taking it
for granted. And plus, you know...
...none of them can cook,
and they're all hepped up on goofballs.
lt is kind of amazing
that we all still know each other.
And l guess we can't really
expect each other...
...to be exactly as we were
when we first met.
That's a lot to expect.
A lot to live up to.
Well, we're all still sitting here.
Must be something worth
sticking around for, right?
Well, sure. l mean, the dessert.
-And the lifelong friendships.
-l'll toast to that.
Cheers.
-Hello, everyone.
-Hi.
Hey.
ls this the Grams?
No offense, but you're kind of
a lot cooler than l thought you'd be.
Yes, l do seem to get that
quite a bit. And you would be?
Oh, l'm sorry, Mrs. Ryan.
This is my roommate, Audrey.
So this is the Audrey.
Your reputation precedes you.
Oh, well, it usually does.
Well, someone needed
to gather the troops.
lt's lovely to witness this
little reunion.
And l want to hear
all about the weekend.
But l'm afraid l must retire
this evening.
Dawson, it's too late for you
to go back to Capeside tonight.
-You'll spend the night with us.
-Of course.
-Good night, everyone.
-Good night.
-Good night, Grams.
-Good night.
-ls that chocolate?
-lt is indeed.
And it just so happens that l have
a slice of this for you, Mrs. Ryan.
-Pacey Witter. You'll spoil me.
-Good night.
Well, not to break up an otherwise
rocking evening...
...but l told some guys
l'd meet them out, so l gotta go.
l should go too.
l have to get some studying in--
Yeah, l'm with them.
Pacey, always a pleasure.
-You can make me a tart anytime.
-Be careful what you wish for.
Okay, you got that one for free.
You wanna get breakfast
tomorrow?
-That would be nice.
-Sure.
-Thanks for dinner.
-My pleasure.
You guys take care.
l'm gonna start on the damage control
in the kitchen.
-Hey.
-Hey.
So l figure that l've heard a piece of
everybody's mind today, except yours.
Hit me with your best shot.
l'm sorry, Jen,
but l can't help you there.
You'll get no judgments out of me.
But that's awfully disappointing.
Pacey's judgments are the best kind.
Well, how about this.
l would be satisfied...
...if everybody would do what
makes them happy and left it at that.
But the planets would collide and
the sea would boil over with blood.
Well, don't l know it.
But you did seem happy.
At least for the first five minutes.
Maybe not so much after that.
Thank you.
You know what? You shouldn't get
stuck with clean-up duty.
Leave it.
Okay? Dawson and l
will take care of it.
l don't know whether that's penance
or pity but l'll take it either way.
l'd say we should do this more often...
...but l think we should give that
more consideration in the light of day.
That sounds good to me.
You have a good night.
You too.
Joey, are you seriously gonna
study all night?
Don't you feel like doing a couple shots
or, like, punching someone in the face?
-Someone other than you?
-Oh, right. Keep it up with the funny.
l think the only thing l am capable
of doing tonight is studying.
-Hey, guys.
-Hey!
They freed me
from my cleaning duties.
-Sweet. Wanna come out with me?
-Thanks, but no thanks.
l think all my social graces
have been used up.
You know what? Being cooped up
with Professor Potter all night...
...is losing its allure.
Do you mind if l tag along, Jack?
-Of course not.
-Bye.
-Bye.
-See you, guys.
Okay, we are so going to a gay bar.
Your efforts to set me up
call for revenge.
-l don't know.
-What?!
Very nice, very cute.
You know what l envy in you, Pace?
Your ability to see the big picture.
Oh, well, l am the visionary
of our generation.
Seriously. l mean, when things
got tough for you...
...you knew the thing to do was to take
a break from what was expected.
l mean, it must have been incredible
out at sea...
...to be able to start
all over with yourself.
l think you're giving me
too much credit.
The only thing l knew that l wanted
was to get out of town.
lt's only later that it became
a profound journey.
What do l know?
lt's just a part of growing up.
l just feel like l'm acting like l think
Joey Potter is supposed to act.
You know, l'm--
Everything that l thought l was
supposed to want and to have...
...has shifted. l just....
-l feel like l'm floundering.
-Joey...
...you're stronger
than l've ever seen you.
You've got school,
the writing, the new friends.
You are becoming the woman l always
knew you were going to become.
So where is the flaw in that?
l guess you're right.
l expected this from him.
How could l think that everything else
would change...
...but we'd somehow
remain the same? l mean...
...promises we made before we
knew how we would turn out.
lt seems a little crazy.
The things we really want always
seem like a good idea at the time.
Pace, l don't think l exactly wanted it.
There was a small part of me
that was relieved to get a break.
And was relieved to know that someone
else was gonna be taking care of him.
And now....
You just didn't expect
to lose your place?
-lt sounds horrible.
-No, it doesn't sound horrible.
lt just sounds like the truth.
And l am a firm believer
that things happen for a reason.
And things have a wonderful habit
of working themselves out...
...regardless of how you may
plan them to the contrary.
So is this where you take
your conquests to die?
l hope you're not
afraid of the dark.
You're not leaving me up here,
are you?
l don't think it would be very proper to
have relations with my grandmother--
No, Dawson, put me down!
Put me down! Put me down!
You know what l think is scarier
than an attic? Basement.
-Why?
-Because it has stairs.
And things hide underneath the stairs.
You're afraid of things
hiding under stairs?
Yes.
And in closets
and underneath the beds.
You are deeply disturbed.
l had no idea.
-That is adorable.
-Hush.
Well, it's the kind of thing
that only boyfriends are privy to.
So you wanna talk about
what happened tonight?
-No.
-Okay.
-Guess you couldn't change reality.
-No.
There's even something cathartic
about it.
l've had it with catharsis.
l'm taking a break.
At least for the winter months.
You can't have had it with catharsis.
We've still got New Year's ahead of us.
Dawson...
...can we just be boring?
l want to be very, very, very boring.
Well, l hate to disappoint you, Jen,
but unfortunately, boring...
...is not exactly the feeling
you inspire.
-No?
-No.
Dawson, l think that this room
has possibilities.
What kind of possibilities?
The kind we can talk about tomorrow.

-Thank you.
-The rice is looking gummy.
-No, it's risotto, Jo.
-lt's just absorbing the stock.
-Don't hinder the man's process.
-l'm starving.
-Me too!
-What gives with the fancy rice?
-lt's risotto.
lt has to be built.
Well, that's awesome,
but if the plan is for us to bond...
...let's order pizza
and give each other manicures.
Aside from the fact we said
we would have these weekly dinners...
...and have failed to do so, Pacey's
cooking. On his night off, no less.
We should welcome
the break from dining hall food.
You promised a Grams. l see
no Grams, so the evening is ruined.
Liking the decor, however. You guys
ever eat off the plates on the wall?
You know the onion
l asked you to chop?
-Yes. Yes, l do.
-Fork it over.
l'm sorry. l thought you were
making me feel included...
...by giving me a little task to do.
l didn't....
Pace.
Where are Jen and Dawson?
The festival ended yesterday.
Jen called. Said they were staying
an extra day. Something about...
...soaking up the atmosphere.
-Back at Grams'.
-That's right.
The harsh reality of life at Grams'.
The endless cycle of home-cooked
meals and grueling knitting sessions.
-You mock me.
-l do mock you.
l just enjoyed our
little escapist adventure. l mean...
...l don't know what l'm gonna
say to her.
You don't have to say anything.
Are you proposing that we sneak
around, Dawson Leery? Because...
...you know, l am that kind of girl.
l am proposing that we just
enjoy what we have going on...
...and don't worry so much about
what to tell other people.
Who is this footloose
and fancy-free boy?
Why don't we go inside?
Hey, guys.
Pacey made rice.
lt's not supposed
to be this gummy, okay?
You're supposed to serve it right away
before it coagulates.
l'm sorry, that's probably our--
My fault for the coagulation.
-l didn't know everyone would be here.
-Or that Pacey was cooking.
Right. Who could have guessed?
Already finishing
each other's sentences.
Oh, my God! Will you look at that. What
gets out rice? Joey, come help me.
-Subtle, Audrey.
-Don't you need some serious girl talk?
l mean, aren't you, at this very moment,
resisting the temptation...
...to grab a knife and grind away
at your wrist?
No, l'm fine.
We didn't have to cause a scene.
We didn't have to, but it's not like
we're missing the dinner of the century.
Seriously, Joey, are you okay?
Yeah. Look, so they had
a fun weekend together.
They were kissing. Believe me, it's
literally nothing l haven't seen before.
Yes, right. Joey, come on.
This isn't first-week Audrey
that you're talking to here.
This is December Audrey.
l am wise.
l've been studying your people
for a great many months...
...and l know how it works.
And also, l know a thing or two
about the casual kiss.
And l'm sorry, but that kiss
looked decidedly uncasual.
l know that you're just this,
like, nice country girl...
...who grew up on a stream
or whatever...
...but don't you know
what l'm talking about?
l'm sorry.
What's the topic at hand?
Well, that clearly relations were had.
Scantily-clad and
possibly fully-naked relations.
Thank you for that image.
l'm sorry, it just seems like you need
a little slap in the face.
Come on, woman. A reaction, please.
l'm sorry to disappoint you,
but l don't have a reaction.
l'm gonna go see if there's something
l can do to help. l'll be right back.
Okay.
-Do you need to borrow a shirt?
-Oh, that would be great.
-Thanks.
-Okay.
So...
...Dawson.
-Dawson Leery.
-That's my name.
Yep.
-Well, come on, man.
-Come on what?
First, why aren't you eating
your risotto?
But second, and far more importantly...
...why, oh, why did you choose
to take...
...the lovely and talented Jen Lindley
away for the weekend?
A woman even my tribe
can't resist.
A woman who has tugged
the heartstrings of rebels...
...and frat boys alike, and here
you are not sharing the details?
-There's nothing to share.
-Really?
That's why you've been staring
at the bathroom door...
...wishing you had
telekinetic powers.
Which means to me either you are very
concerned about Audrey's wardrobe...
...or perhaps you're concerned
about Joey.
You can call me crazy, but l don't think
Joey's gonna mind a little kissing.
Unless, of course, something
more happened.
Now there's an interesting idea.
But what more could have
happened?
You guys, l'm not gonna
go over the bases with you.
-l didn't say bases. Did you?
-We don't need details.
All right, l'll be right back.
'' Bases'' is plural.
-He did.
-You think?
Definitely did.
-You feel different?
-l do.
l do. l feel different.
l mean, here we have Dawson Leery
walking amongst us.
l gotta say, l'm worried that maybe
he wasn't prepared.
We didn't even get a chance
to have the talk.
How do you know?
lt's not so much him as it is her.
Sick as it sounds, l know the look.
Oh, man. You know,
we almost did too.
l know. l know.
Come to think of it,
we almost did once too.
-What do you think it takes?
-A virgin and a straight guy.
-Damn.
-l'm fine, okay?
Seeing you kiss someone else
is always going to be a little weird...
...l won't lie.
But it makes perfect sense, you
and Jen getting back together.
Yeah, l....
l hadn't thought of it that way.
The '' back together'' part.
We're such different people now.
-l guess we all are. l hope.
-Yeah.
-So how did this...?
-Happen?
l don't know.
lt kind of took us both
by surprise actually.
Getting out of my house cleared
a lot of the cobwebs out of my head.
And everybody was so accepting
of the film, and....
As stupid as it is, they put us
in the honeymoon suite.
Well, there's no handbook
for this, is there?
No. Maybe we should think
of co-authoring one.
There's no graceful way
of having this conversation.
What conversation?
l mean, we're talking about a kiss.
Well, this is-- This is kind of silly.
l should have known.
l mean, when you two walked
in the door together....
l'm the last person in the world
you could call naive. No, really.
l get it, okay?
We don't have to make this
into a thing.
ln fact, let's not make this into a thing.
Okay?
l hate to break this to you, given
your obvious level of enthusiasm...
...but now it's time
for the second course.
You know what, Pace? lf cooking
is stressing you out...
...and we're all tired from whatever...
-...we could call this off if you want.
-Oh, no.
A good try, but no. There are
many more courses to come.
Though they may not be up to snuff
for finicky sorts such as yourself...
...l put a lot of time
and energy into them...
...so that has to be worth
something, right?
-You want some help?
-No, no, l'll be fine.
-l need salt.
-Don't have to ask me twice.
So they know.
Right.
Oh, God.
And Joey knows.
Oh, boy.
How did she react?
Like Joey.
-ls she upset?
-Yeah, she is and she isn't. l mean...
...you know, if you can
make any sense of that.
Man.
Last week she told me that...
...she couldn't think of anybody
better to take care of you than me.
l don't think this is
what she had in mind.
As much as l love those people
in the next room, l'm happy with you.
Okay?
And nobody else gets to weigh in
on that. Okay?
Okay.
l'm just gonna say it.
l think it's a little weird.
l thought you'd be all for Jen
being with someone like Dawson.
Nice, sensitive.
Shell-shocked, vulnerable? Come on,
guys. Somebody's gotta say it.
l don't think it's the best time
to experiment for either of them.
-Aren't you a little glad l said that?
-Okay.
But seriously, where's the Grams?
You've been evading the question
all night.
What, do you keep her
in the attic or something?
You know what? Audrey's right.
lt's inappropriate to be doing this
without Grams. This is her house.
-lf l'm staying, you're staying.
-You live here!
Less and less. lt's not the Will & Grace
land it once was.
Okay, l know leaving right now sounds
tempting, and it would be easy...
...but l don't think the easy thing is
gonna solve anything in the long run.
-Hey, what's going on in here?
-lt's lemon-roasted chicken.
ls it supposed to be
birthing the lemons like that?
lf that doesn't wake up
the taste buds, what will?
You stuff the lemons into
the chicken for flavouring.
-That's great. Let's serve it up.
-No. No. lt's not ready yet.
l prefer my chicken raw.
l don't know what the fuss is about.
Yeah, sure. Why not?
Cavemen used to do it.
Sure. That's a great idea.
Go grab the plates.
We'll serve it up, bloody as hell.
-Do they need some help in there?
-lf you want.
Joey...
...just so you know...
...for whatever it's worth,
and l don't know...
...what that is, but l just didn't....
l didn't plan on this.
l didn't assume that you did.
l know. l just....
This boy has always been between us
in one way or another...
...and l feel like you and l were finally
getting close. And l would just....
l would really hate for that to be
negated by this...
...development.
You know what, everyone seems to be
operating under this assumption...
...that we're all going to react
a certain way to this...
...and that that way is somehow
going to be apocalyptic.
l don't know how many different ways
to say this, but l'm fine. Really.
You're a good person, Jen.
That's exactly what Dawson needs
right now.
Pace, if l spot a vein,
do l win a prize?
So perhaps the chicken was taken
a bit before its time.
But, that said, l did
serve you the cooked parts.
Demented as my sense of humour
may be...
...l'm not trying to unleash
a health hazard here. So please...
...eat in peace.
So, Dawson, aside from the obvious,
how was the film festival?
l was afraid it was gonna be
some little Hee-Haw production...
...which it was, but in a good way...
...l think.
l met this guy who goes
to a film school in Boston.
l was thinking of checking it out.
-Really?
-Yeah.
Yeah, the idea of getting up
each morning...
...with a purpose beyond just getting
through the day is appealing.
So then you would end up
in Boston after all.
-Looks that way.
-Well, that's really cool, man.
lf you decide to move here,
there's plenty of room at Grams'.
That's a definite possibility.
God and man! Not again!
Joey!
Excuse me.
Maybe we should go over
our game plan.
Usually, the one who needs to talk is
the one who hurls food on her friend.
Okay, well, l need to talk.
Oh, l'm sorry. What can l do to make
you feel more comfortable?
Everyone's treating me
like a delicate flower in there...
...no thanks to these
emergency rushes to the kitchen.
What is wrong with you?
Why aren't you a delicate little flower?
Have you no soul?
Just a black, black void?
-Which question should l answer first?
-Okay.
He's moving to Boston.
How do you feel about that?
Fine. l feel nothing.
Okay? Nothing.
lt's not the most shocking news
in the world.
You know what?
When Dawson's father died,
it cancelled everything out.
-Understandably.
-Yes.
And yes, there was a point
where there were possibilities.
l guess. l don't know.
l guess l'll never know.
And we both thought that things
were going to happen.
But what happened
is that Dawson lost his father.
What kind of a person would l be
if l didn't understand that?
So, yeah, maybe...
...if this broke my heart,
l wouldn't have any right to say so.
Well, honey...
...you have the right
to say anything you want...
...when it comes to how you feel.
lt doesn't matter, okay?
lt is what it is.
Let me get that.
Hi.
Pacey, don't the salads
usually come first?
Well, Audrey, those with
sophisticated taste...
...save the salad for the third course.
lt cleanses the palate before dessert.
Don't listen to her. She can't even work
the dorm microwave.
Well, l didn't have one
growing up, okay?
My mother was afraid
of radiation poisoning.
Little did she know there were
more dangerous things, like her.
Are we gonna eat or what?
Well, don't you think we ought
to wait on Jen? Dawson.
Most nice people would, but who knows
how long pretty boy's gonna take to....
Oh, look. Bread.
l'm gonna check, see what's
taking her so long. Be right back.
Dawson. l'm sure she'll be right in.
l won't cause a scene.
l'm just gonna see if she's okay.
Look, l'm all for scene-causing.
l want to serve the guy up
as garnish for the third course.
But don't be that guy. l know you, man.
You're 1 0 times better than that guy.
-Charlie? l should hope.
-Not just Charlie.
The guy who checks in
long before the check-in is due.
lf you start your relationship like this,
panicking when she leaves a room...
...rushing out to size up
the competition...
...which is really what you're doing...
...the whole thing is gonna
have this needy overtone...
...that is a road best left untravelled.
That guy doesn't sound a lot like me.
Why do l get a feeling you're this guy?
Because generally,
you're a very wise man.
Don't think l don't appreciate
your advice. l do.
-But you're going anyway.
-Exactly.
Well, can't say l blame you.
Hey. ls everything okay?
Yeah. Am l holding up dinner?
-Don't worry about it. We'll wait.
-Okay. Thank you.
-Just one second.
-Take your time.
Nice to meet you too.
Forgive my friends if they're not vying
to meet you, but they're good like that.
Listen, l don't expect you to invite me
in for cocoa or anything.
l just wanted to bring you this
before finals.
The thought of you studying without
your Flaming Lips T-shirt saddened me.
Thanks.
Anyway...
...not that l expect you
to sympathise or anything...
...but Nora and l aren't....
That's great.
Well, but it looks like you are?
His name's Dawson.
l would have introduced you...
...if it weren't the most awkward
meet and greet known to man.
-Yeah.
-Look...
...not that this serves as an absolution,
but it seems like l have a habit...
...of picking the wrong guy and....
And l feel like maybe this time
l made the right choice.
Well, l honestly just
want you to be happy, Jen.
-And l want you to know that.
-l am.
l might see you around sometime?
Sure.
From afar.
At graduation.
Well, take care.
Sorry, you guys.
-Everything okay?
-Yeah. Everything's fine.
T-shirt returned. Case closed.
You know what? l'm gonna go
get some more salad.
l'll be right back.
You know, we need
to change the music. Jen?
Excuse me, l guess.
-There. How's that? You happy now?
-No, not really.
What, do you think it's too poppy?
Can we pretend that we're best friends
for a minute, all right?
You're sleeping with Dawson. Any
steps you want to fill me in on here?
No.
No. No steps, really. l just....
l don't know. lt just happened, Jack,
and l wish you could understand that.
Look, l understand, all right?
l'm close enough to both of you to know
that even when you were platonic...
...you put yourself up
on this first-love pedestal.
But, Jen, the guy's father just died.
He's trying to piece together how to get
on with his life, let alone his love life.
And you just stopped going out
with Charlie, what, a week ago?
ls this about Charlie? Because...
...l can't even tell you
on how many levels we're over.
This is not about Charlie.
lt's about you.
l just don't think you're aware
of how delicate...
...this little scenario is. That's all.
l am perfectly aware
of how delicate this--
l'm sorry. What did you
call my relationship?
--'' little scenario'' is. lf you think that
what's going on in the kitchen now...
...doesn't affect me, you're wrong.
lt does.
All the more indication that maybe it's
a little too soon?
Too soon for what?
Dawson and l are just trying to figure
out what's going on between us.
Which would be a lot easier had we not
come home to this lovely intervention.
Come on. lt's not like we planned it
like that.
-lt's a dinner, not an intervention.
-Well, it feels like it.
And....
l gotta ask...
...like, who are you to talk?
You've conveniently erased yourself
from my life for the past few months.
That's a two-way street. You haven't
been reaching out to me either.
Well, maybe that's
because l find it difficult...
...to talk with a guy who would choose
a beer bong over his boyfriend.
Oh, yeah? Well, maybe l don't wanna
bother trying to explain...
...to someone who's already
made up her mind about me.
Good. Then you should
know how it feels.
lt's like you haven't known me
for the last few years...
...if you think that l'm capable
of hurting Dawson.
-How could you think that?
-l don't know, Jen.
How can you write
your best friend off...
...as a two-dimensional,
beer-guzzling frat boy?
lt's not-- lt's not even that anymore.
And it's not Dawson, is it?
You and l used to operate
like this perfect clockwork.
You knew how l took my coffee.
l knew how you liked your toast.
l mean, what happened
to those people?
l'm just as happy living
in denial as the next guy...
...but really, is the food that bad?
All in all, l totally give you kudos
for keeping it together tonight.
Well, l'm glad you're here too.
Because sympathetic
as l am to the drama...
...it is nice to look across the table
and see someone...
...who is not really ready to kill herself
or the person sitting to her right.
Okay.
To not hating each other.
Cheers.
lf Grams ever does get home,
she won't be pleased to find out...
...you've rubbed the pattern
off her bowl.
Joey, l appreciate whatever reasons
you have for pretending you're fine...
...but you don't have
to do that with me.
Do you miss me?
Do you miss being around me?
Yes.
Joey, of course l miss
being around you.
lt's just that...
...when you were talking
about school and moving...
...all l could think about
was the distance between us.
l mean, our lives used
to happen together, Dawson.
l think some part of you won't
forgive me for changing the future.
No, no, Jo. l changed the future.
-l stayed.
-For what?
-You know for what.
-Then what happened?
Dawson, how did l go from being
on the corner of possibility...
-...to being nothing at all?
-You're not nothing at all, Joey.
You're the furthest thing from nothing.
Okay?
And l wish....
l wish l had an explanation.
You deserve one.
l don't--
Dawson, l don't want one
because l deserve it.
l don't want you to treat me how you
think you're supposed to. l just....
l just want you to tell me.
Something shifted
when my father died.
Something was lost.
And part of me...
...the part of me that was
still hopeful...
...thought that maybe
you and l could be on hold.
And then all of a sudden
this path that l was on...
...that seemed like such a great idea
when l started it, stopped making sense.
And the more l tried to stick to my
routine, the harder it was to breathe.
And then when Jen and l
got out of town, it was....
lt was like starting over.
Do you think that things
would have been any different...
...if maybe l had gone with you?
l don't know. l can't answer that.
l don't know.
All l know is...
...when l was with Jen,
l felt like me, you know?
Not the censored version of myself.
Not the sad version of myself. Just me.
For the first time in a long time.
And it....
lt felt good.
-You can't be yourself around me?
-You're hearing what you want to hear.
No, l think l'm hearing
what you're afraid to tell me.
Joey, it hurts to be around you.
When l see you,
it brings up 1 000 memories.
Not just of us,
but of my entire life before.
And it's like l'm frozen in this place
l can't bear to be.
l care about you so much.
As long as l can remember,
everything comes back to you.
No matter what was happening, the
thought of you was a constant comfort.
But l can't go back. lt just hurts.
Pace, this looks amazing.
Yeah, who delivered it, huh?
Say what you will.
Not that l have to tell you that.
But this one might actually
err on the side of edible.
So please do try it.
Thanks.
-This is really good, Pace.
-ls this espresso in the centre?
lt is indeed. Delivered
from my kitchen to your veins...
...for a night of wakeful studies.
-Very, very impressive, Pacey.
-Thank you.
Glad l salvaged something.
l promise that next time we do this...
-...it will be much easier.
-Next time?
We can't quit. You don't stop riding
a bike because you smash into a tree.
Well, it's just we're all juggling with
these new developments in our lives.
-Maybe we should take a break.
-From each other?
How did we get here?
lt seems like we've drifted,
despite our best efforts.
Oh, l don't know. You might
be overestimating at '' best efforts.''
l don't think a couple
of drunken mishaps...
...and the occasional cup of coffee
really cuts it.
Well, that's sort of--
Thank you.
Maybe if we had done these dinners
like we planned...
...the gap wouldn't have
gotten so wide.
l had to give my cooking skills
time to gestate.
lt's only natural, guys, that we
drift apart a little bit. l mean...
...trite as it sounds,
we're not in high school anymore.
Do you guys know how lucky you are?
l can't name two people that
l still talk to that l knew when l was 1 5.
Maybe you shouldn't be taking it
for granted. And plus, you know...
...none of them can cook,
and they're all hepped up on goofballs.
lt is kind of amazing
that we all still know each other.
And l guess we can't really
expect each other...
...to be exactly as we were
when we first met.
That's a lot to expect.
A lot to live up to.
Well, we're all still sitting here.
Must be something worth
sticking around for, right?
Well, sure. l mean, the dessert.
-And the lifelong friendships.
-l'll toast to that.
Cheers.
-Hello, everyone.
-Hi.
Hey.
ls this the Grams?
No offense, but you're kind of
a lot cooler than l thought you'd be.
Yes, l do seem to get that
quite a bit. And you would be?
Oh, l'm sorry, Mrs. Ryan.
This is my roommate, Audrey.
So this is the Audrey.
Your reputation precedes you.
Oh, well, it usually does.
Well, someone needed
to gather the troops.
lt's lovely to witness this
little reunion.
And l want to hear
all about the weekend.
But l'm afraid l must retire
this evening.
Dawson, it's too late for you
to go back to Capeside tonight.
-You'll spend the night with us.
-Of course.
-Good night, everyone.
-Good night.
-Good night, Grams.
-Good night.
-ls that chocolate?
-lt is indeed.
And it just so happens that l have
a slice of this for you, Mrs. Ryan.
-Pacey Witter. You'll spoil me.
-Good night.
Well, not to break up an otherwise
rocking evening...
...but l told some guys
l'd meet them out, so l gotta go.
l should go too.
l have to get some studying in--
Yeah, l'm with them.
Pacey, always a pleasure.
-You can make me a tart anytime.
-Be careful what you wish for.
Okay, you got that one for free.
You wanna get breakfast
tomorrow?
-That would be nice.
-Sure.
-Thanks for dinner.
-My pleasure.
You guys take care.
l'm gonna start on the damage control
in the kitchen.
-Hey.
-Hey.
So l figure that l've heard a piece of
everybody's mind today, except yours.
Hit me with your best shot.
l'm sorry, Jen,
but l can't help you there.
You'll get no judgments out of me.
But that's awfully disappointing.
Pacey's judgments are the best kind.
Well, how about this.
l would be satisfied...
...if everybody would do what
makes them happy and left it at that.
But the planets would collide and
the sea would boil over with blood.
Well, don't l know it.
But you did seem happy.
At least for the first five minutes.
Maybe not so much after that.
Thank you.
You know what? You shouldn't get
stuck with clean-up duty.
Leave it.
Okay? Dawson and l
will take care of it.
l don't know whether that's penance
or pity but l'll take it either way.
l'd say we should do this more often...
...but l think we should give that
more consideration in the light of day.
That sounds good to me.
You have a good night.
You too.
Joey, are you seriously gonna
study all night?
Don't you feel like doing a couple shots
or, like, punching someone in the face?
-Someone other than you?
-Oh, right. Keep it up with the funny.
l think the only thing l am capable
of doing tonight is studying.
-Hey, guys.
-Hey!
They freed me
from my cleaning duties.
-Sweet. Wanna come out with me?
-Thanks, but no thanks.
l think all my social graces
have been used up.
You know what? Being cooped up
with Professor Potter all night...
...is losing its allure.
Do you mind if l tag along, Jack?
-Of course not.
-Bye.
-Bye.
-See you, guys.
Okay, we are so going to a gay bar.
Your efforts to set me up
call for revenge.
-l don't know.
-What?!
Very nice, very cute.
You know what l envy in you, Pace?
Your ability to see the big picture.
Oh, well, l am the visionary
of our generation.
Seriously. l mean, when things
got tough for you...
...you knew the thing to do was to take
a break from what was expected.
l mean, it must have been incredible
out at sea...
...to be able to start
all over with yourself.
l think you're giving me
too much credit.
The only thing l knew that l wanted
was to get out of town.
lt's only later that it became
a profound journey.
What do l know?
lt's just a part of growing up.
l just feel like l'm acting like l think
Joey Potter is supposed to act.
You know, l'm--
Everything that l thought l was
supposed to want and to have...
...has shifted. l just....
-l feel like l'm floundering.
-Joey...
...you're stronger
than l've ever seen you.
You've got school,
the writing, the new friends.
You are becoming the woman l always
knew you were going to become.
So where is the flaw in that?
l guess you're right.
l expected this from him.
How could l think that everything else
would change...
...but we'd somehow
remain the same? l mean...
...promises we made before we
knew how we would turn out.
lt seems a little crazy.
The things we really want always
seem like a good idea at the time.
Pace, l don't think l exactly wanted it.
There was a small part of me
that was relieved to get a break.
And was relieved to know that someone
else was gonna be taking care of him.
And now....
You just didn't expect
to lose your place?
-lt sounds horrible.
-No, it doesn't sound horrible.
lt just sounds like the truth.
And l am a firm believer
that things happen for a reason.
And things have a wonderful habit
of working themselves out...
...regardless of how you may
plan them to the contrary.
So is this where you take
your conquests to die?
l hope you're not
afraid of the dark.
You're not leaving me up here,
are you?
l don't think it would be very proper to
have relations with my grandmother--
No, Dawson, put me down!
Put me down! Put me down!
You know what l think is scarier
than an attic? Basement.
-Why?
-Because it has stairs.
And things hide underneath the stairs.
You're afraid of things
hiding under stairs?
Yes.
And in closets
and underneath the beds.
You are deeply disturbed.
l had no idea.
-That is adorable.
-Hush.
Well, it's the kind of thing
that only boyfriends are privy to.
So you wanna talk about
what happened tonight?
-No.
-Okay.
-Guess you couldn't change reality.
-No.
There's even something cathartic
about it.
l've had it with catharsis.
l'm taking a break.
At least for the winter months.
You can't have had it with catharsis.
We've still got New Year's ahead of us.
Dawson...
...can we just be boring?
l want to be very, very, very boring.
Well, l hate to disappoint you, Jen,
but unfortunately, boring...
...is not exactly the feeling
you inspire.
-No?
-No.
Dawson, l think that this room
has possibilities.
What kind of possibilities?
The kind we can talk about tomorrow.
