Dawson's Creek Quotes

	Season 6 / Episode 24: - ...Must Come to an End (2) Jack: Jen I want her. I want her. I don't know what you and Grams have discussed. Jen: Grams is aware of her own situation, her health and all. We both think that you would make an excellent father. Now Jack, please help Amy to find a place to be. I feel like I never really quite fit in. Jack: Which is why we're us. Jen: I know. I mean from the second that I stepped out of that cab onto the creek I was the instigator, you know, the girl who caused problems and rocked the creek and upset the delicate emotional balance of Capeside and I don't want Amy to be that person. I want her to belong, I feel like I never really did. Jack: Jen. You belong... you belong to me. Don't you get it? You're my soulmate. Amy's gonna know love, everyday of her life she is gonna know how much her mother loved her. I'm gonna see to that. Ok?
	Season 6 / Episode 24: - ...Must Come to an End (2) Jen: Hi, Amy, it's mom. Well, by the time you see this, I won't be here anymore, and I know how much that sucks, for both of us. So seeing as how I won't be around to thoroughly annoy you, I thought I would give you a little list of the things that I wish for you. Well, there's the obvious. An education. Family. Friends. And a life that is full of the unexpected. Be sure to make mistakes. Make a lot of them, because there's no better way to learn and to grow, all right? And, um, I want you to spend a lot of time at the ocean, because the ocean forces you to dream, and I insist that you, my girl, be a dreamer. God. I've never really believed in God. In fact, I've spent a lot of time and energy trying to disprove that god exists. But I hope that you are able to believe in god, because the thing that I've come to realize, sweetheart... is that it just doesn't matter if god exists or not. The important thing is for you to believe in something, because I promise you that that belief will keep you warm at night, and I want you to feel safe always. And then there's love. I want you to love to the tips of your fingers, and when you find that love, wherever you find it, whoever you choose, don't run away from it. But you don't have to chase after it either. You just be patient, and it'll come to you, I promise, and when you least expect it, like you, like spending the best year of my life with the sweetest and the smartest and the most beautiful baby girl in the world. You don't be afraid, sweetheart. And remember, to love is to live.
	Season 6 / Episode 24: - ...Must Come to an End (2) Pacey: I'm just saying thank you. You reminded me of what I'm capable of feeling. It's like I was... walking around seeing my life through a smudged window, and then I saw you and the smudges were gone. The window was clean
	Season 6 / Episode 24: - ...Must Come to an End (2) Lilly Leery: What's a soul mate? Dawson: It's uh... Well, it's like a best friend, but more. It's the one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else. It's someone who makes you a better person. Actually, they don't make you a better person, you do that yourself because they inspire you. A soul mate is someone who you carry with you forever. It's the one person who knew you and accepted you and believed in you before anyone else did or when no one else would. And no matter what happens, you'll always love her. Nothing can ever change that. Make sense?
	Season 6 / Episode 24: - ...Must Come to an End (2) Joey: What's going on in that head of yours? Pacey: You're off the hook. Joey: What? Pacey: You're off the hook. I've never had much faith in that whole "if you love someone, set them free" crap, as evidenced by everything I've done in my life up until this very moment, but I am determined to be happy, Joey, happy in this life. And I love you. I have always, always loved you, but our timing has just never been right. And the way I figure it, time is no man's friend. Well, I have to get right with that and be happy now. Because this is it, this is all we got. If there's one thing that I've learned from losing Jen, that's what I've learned. Joey: Pace, I... Pacey: Actually, hold on, I'm not done yet, because I also want for you to be happy. So I want you to be with someone, whether it be Dawson or New York guy or some man you haven't even met yet, but I want you to be with someone who can be a part of the life that you want for yourself. I want you to be with someone who makes you feel the way I feel when I'm with you. So, I guess the point of this long run-on sentence that's been the last 10 years of our lives is that the simple act of being in love with you is enough for me. So you're off the hook. Joey: You know what, for the record, I don't want to be let off the hook. Because everything I have done has led me here, right now, and the last thing I want is to be let off somebody's hook. Pacey: Don't miss my point here... Joey: And don't miss mine. Pacey, I love you. You know that. And it's very real. It's so real that it's kept me moving, mostly running from it, never ready for it. And I love Dawson. He's my soul mate. He's tied to my childhood, and it's a love that is pure and eternally innocent. I can't be let off the hook because I just might get the notion that it's OK to keep running.
	Season 6 / Episode 24: - ...Must Come to an End (2) Dawson: Life has no opposite. Joey: I never thought of it that way. Dawson: Well, leave it to me to overthink it. Joey: You are the writer. Dawson: This writer has decided it doesn't matter how it ends. Because fiction is fiction. For the first time in a long time, my life is real. It doesn't matter who ends up with who. In some unearthly way, it's always gonna be you and me. Joey: It's always. Dawson: What we have goes beyond friendship, beyond lovers. It's forever. Joey: Yes it is. I love you, Dawson. Dawson: I love you too, Joey. Lilly Leery: [Scene: cut in, showing Alexander climbing a ladder and Lily standing at a window in the Leery house. Reminiscent of Joey and Dawson's childhood] Come on Alexander, only a few more steps, you can do it! Joey: You and me always. Dawson: Always.
	Season 6 / Episode 24: - ...Must Come to an End (2) Joey: There's so much, Dawson. Both good times and bad. When I loved you, you loved Jen. When you loved me, I needed to be my on my own. So I left you for Jack. I didn't realize he was gay. Dawson: And then I convinced you to turn your dad in for trafficking cocaine. You said you'd never speak to me again. Joey: But I did. I offered myself to you at that party after you crashed your dad's boat. Dawson: And I refused for some reason. So you feel for Pacey. Joey: While you were losing your virginity to Jen. Dawson: And then finally, we slept together. Joey: Only to get into a fight the day after, thus ruining everything we've waited so long for. Dawson: And then I dated an actress, you dated that Eddie guy. Joey: And years passed, until finally, here we are.
	Season 6 / Episode 24: - ...Must Come to an End (2) Joey: Dreams aren't perfect, Dawson. They come true, not free.
	Season 6 / Episode 23: - All Good Things... (1) Dawson: Best thing we can do is just be ourselves, carry on in our typical, usual, distracting... Pacey: Sordid love triangle ways. Dawson: [Laughs] Leave it up to you to say the most inappropriate thing possible. Pacey: Aw, I'm always dependable, my friend. Joey: So very not funny. Joey: Hi, Christopher. Dawson: And the triangle becomes a square. Pacey: Well put.
	Season 6 / Episode 23: - All Good Things... (1) Jack: Good teachers are just traumatized students trying to erase whatever went wrong with their own high school experience.
	Season 6 / Episode 23: - All Good Things... (1) Jen: It's beautiful today isn't it, hum, how the sun just affects every breathing thing, I mean you can really see it... Dawson: Ok, Mrs. Dalloway.
	Season 6 / Episode 22: - Joey Potter and the Capeside Redemption Joey: [voiceover] And now that this scared little girl no longer follows me wherever I go, I miss her. I do. 'Cause there are things I wanna tell her... to relax, to lighten up, that it is all going to be ok. I want her to know that meeting people who like you, who understand you, who actually accept you for who you are, will become an increasingly rare occurrence. Jen, Jack, Audrey, Andie, Pacey, and Dawson. These people who contributed to who I am, they are with me wherever I go, and as history gets rewritten in small ways with each passing day, my love for them only grows. Because the truth is... it was the best of times. Mistakes were made, hearts were broken, harsh lessons learned, but all of that has receded into fond memory now. How does it happen? Why are we so quick to forget the bad and romanticize the good? Maybe it's because we need to believe that the time we spent together actually meant something, that we were there for each other in a time in our lives that defined us all, a time in our lives that we will never forget. I can't swear this is exactly how it happened. But this is how it felt.
	Season 6 / Episode 22: - Joey Potter and the Capeside Redemption Jen: What is this feeling? It just seems like everything's getting smaller and smaller. It's all still there, but I just can't touch it. Jack: I think it's called good-bye.
	Season 6 / Episode 21: - Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road Dawson: I think sometimes... you have to lose somebody completely before you can figure out what they really mean to you.
	Season 6 / Episode 20: - Catch-22 Rich Rinaldi: Pacey, you are so good at your job that often I forget how young, naive, and stupid you are. Pacey Witter: Rich, I really don't need the speech from you right now. Rich Rinaldi: Oh, I think you do. And in response to your request, I'm going to tell you what you should have told your friend in the first place: no! Pacey Witter: Wait, that's it? I come to you, I embarrass myself, and all you can tell me is just a big, plain "no"? Rich Rinaldi: Pretty much, yeah. Pacey Witter: You know Rich, you are so good at your job too that often I forget what an unfeeling prick you are!
	Season 6 / Episode 20: - Catch-22 Pacey Witter: Rich, please. I'm just asking you for this one small favor, just one time and I'll never ask your for anything in this lifetime again or the... Rich Rinaldi: [interrupting] Read my lips: I... don't... do... favors... Witter! Pacey Witter: Why not? Because you'd have to drop the Gordon Gekko routine for a minute? This will be so easy for you just help me out here! Rich Rinaldi: Help you out? I'm done helping you out! I gave you this job, Witter! I showed you how things worked around here. I gave you a chance to escape some bottom-feeding existence, and every step of the way you have been a soulful, moralistic, holier-than-thou pain in my ass! So you tell me, why should I help you out?
	Season 6 / Episode 20: - Catch-22 Eddie Doling: [voice-over] Dear Joey, as you know I'm not good at goodbyes. But I guess that's what it is. A real one this time. Because as much as I thought I wanted us to be together, I guess what I want more is to be one of those people who lives every moment of his life without indecision and without regrets. Someone who dares to disturb the universe without a thought to the consequences. And you're not one of those people, at least not yet. Maybe you'll prove me wrong about that one day. I hope you do. But who knows? Maybe people can't change. Maybe we're doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again no matter how hard we try. I always hope for a happy ending. How crazy is that? Take care of yourself.
	Season 6 / Episode 20: - Catch-22 Rich Rinaldi: Here, take this pen and write down todays date. Because from this day fourth, you will amount to nothing. You are failure and a loser! You deserves to get what's coming... Pacey Witter: Stop calling me a loser! Don't ever call me a loser! Rich Rinaldi: [taunting] Oh, what are you gonna do about it, loser? Loser... loser... Rich Rinaldi: Don't worry, it's over. You're through, you're fired. You'll never work in this company, in this town, or in this state again! Why do you look so down? This is what you wanted all along, right? Loser!
	Season 6 / Episode 16: - That Was Then (aka Before and After) Prof. Greg Hetson: Look, I don't feel right about unleasing Harley on you, but she's been extra loopy these days. I think it's drugs. Joey Potter: It's called hormones. I wouldn't worry about it. Prof. Greg Hetson: I'm very worried about her. She's got posters of boys on the ceiling above her bed. Why there, Potter? What purpose do you suppose those pictures would serve in that particular location? Joey Potter: Professor Hetson, Harley is completely normal. One might even wonder that she's a cliche. Prof. Greg Hetson: I don't like the sound of a "normal" girl. I corrupted a lot of those. They will do anything to not be normal. I want her to be a lot more like you, anxious, bookish, prone to having boyfriends dump you and moving far, far away. Joey Potter: [annoyed] Thank you for the reminder. Prof. Greg Hetson: So, no boys at the house or calling the house or slowing down while walking by the house. Joey Potter: You better watch it. Sexual deviation may not be on Harley's mind. But if you keep being this strict with her she might realize that there's something fun and naughty she's apparently missing.
	Season 6 / Episode 16: - That Was Then (aka Before and After) Pacey Witter: Now hold on, what exactly do you want to talk to me about? From my way of seeing things we are just two brothers trying to take care of our large family. Doug Witter: No, Pacey. I'm the one taking care of our dysfunctional family. I'm the one that's been taking care of the family for years. Pacey Witter: Now Doug, don't you dare get righteous on me. You cannot lower your resentment over me because that was your choice to stay here in this crappy small town and look after our drunkard parents, and our sisters, and screaming, out-of-control nieces and nephews. Doug Witter: Yeah I do happen to make choices. I know that's a foreign concept for you who likes to play musical careers! Pacey Witter: How did we get here? I'm I stepping on your turf or something? Are you the only member of the family allowed to be carring and compassionate? What did you expect me to do, Doug? Just chomp on my cigar on the other end of the phone and cut a check for the man's funeral? I am a member of this family. Doug Witter: Yeah, convenently. That's the way it is with you lately. You swoop in at Christmas after not calling or visiting for months, bringing your fancy and expensive gifts, and pull wool over the whole Witter family's eyes. And then you're out. Everybody forgets. Pacey Witter: Forgets what? That I'm the family failure? That I'm never supposed to grow up? I'm I not allowed to want things? Doug Witter: We all want things, Pacey. Belive me, we all want things. Pacey Witter: Then what? Am I not supposed to get them? So ultimately, this is not about our father, which is kind of pathetic, Doug, considering the condition that man is in right now in that hospital bed. This is about you wanting to see my face every day and know that you're still the good son. That you're top dog. Well, that's just sad. Doug, I miss the daily beatings just as much as you do from our old man. But I had to leave sometime whereas you chose to stay here close to our father, slash, domestic abuser. Doug Witter: Pacey, don't make this a celebration about your retreat from Capeside. Pacey Witter: I'm not! Listen, I came here to see you, and to see him. And you know what? He knows it, and he appreciates it. Perhaps he's even happy to know that his youngest son, whom he ignored, abused, and put down for the better part of his life, is not going to hold a grudge against him until the day he dies. In a strange way, this might even be a good thing. Doug Witter: You know it is a good thing, Pacey. It's all yours. You can have it. Enjoy it while it lasts because our father will not be around forever.
	Season 6 / Episode 15: - Castaways Joey: You were wanting to kiss me all night? Pacey: Yes. Joey: Even when you were yelling at me. Pacey: Especially when I was yelling at you. Joey: So... is this... some sort of... recent new development in your life? Pacey: Wanting to kiss you? No. It's sort of always there... like... white noise, or... the secret service or the threat of nuclear war, for that matter. Just somethin' you get used to.
	Season 6 / Episode 15: - Castaways Joey: Well, are you gonna answer that, or are we gonna finish this? Pacey: We could live for a thousand years, and we would never finish this.
	Season 6 / Episode 15: - Castaways Joey: I don't know. I guess I feel different. Like... I've always had this tendency to assume that change, when it happens, can only be for the worse. You know? And lately, I kinda feel like that's not true... like whatever's waiting for me out there... may not be that bad. And even if it is... then not knowing about it... might actually be the good part.
	Season 6 / Episode 15: - Castaways Joey: [to Pacey] Just because I've never done it before doesn't mean I'm not gonna be good at it. I was good at sex, wasn't I?
	Season 6 / Episode 15: - Castaways Pacey: I don't know. But... you remember how you said you were willing to be surprised by the future? Joey: Yeah. Pacey: Surprise.
	Season 6 / Episode 6: - Living Dead Girl (aka Halloweenie) Joey Potter: Look, I know that you're pissed at your dad for flaking on you. But that doesn't mean that he's a bad dad, and it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you. Harley Hetson: No, it just means he's a dick. Joey Potter: Harley... Harley Hetson: Do you even like him? Sometimes, I don't see how anyone can ever like him. He's cold, intimidating, and very abrasive. Joey Potter: True, but he's also very... Harley Hetson: What? I thought so. He gets off on emotionaly hurting and breaking people down, especially women due to his divorce, failed relationships... it just... every time I'm supposed to come see him, I trick myself into thinking that it's going to be different this time. But it never is. It's always just different shades of the same abrasion and misogyny he puts out to me and any woman or girl he sees.
	Season 6 / Episode 3: - The Importance of Not Being Too Earnest Joey: I'm not a quitter. Prof. Greg Hetson: [cynical tone] People love saying that. It's like they saw it in some movie once and they liked the way it sounded.
	Season 6 / Episode 2: - The Song Remains the Same (2) Audrey: Joey, I am serious. E-mail expression is the scourge of the modern age. The internet has made it way too easy to express oneself. Ok, you have some fleeting thought. You send it. It lands with a thud in some unsuspecting person's mailbox. Said person then reads it, gets irked because you've recapped a conversation that you presumably already had. They fail to respond. You feel slighted. But if you must be one of these pathetic passive/aggressive e-mail types, far be it from me to stop you. What do you have so far? Joey: Well... I had "Dear Dawson," and then I erased it. Audrey: Why? I think that's a nice start. Joey: I seemed cold. Audrey: True. I mean, you did just nude-up with the guy. Oh, I'm sorry, or did you guys do it through a hole in a sheet because that's very Dawson and Joey to me.
	Season 6 / Episode 2: - The Song Remains the Same (2) Dawson: We can analyze this to death later.
	Season 6 / Episode 1: - The Kids Are Alright (1) Audrey Liddell: You think we should wake him? Pacey Witter: Well, we should. As much as I've enjoyed his ramblings and his questionable taste in music, he has bragged about the number of times he's seen you naked. Audrey Liddell: He has never seen me naked. Pacey Witter: Really? He knows about the tattoo on you-know-where. Audrey Liddell: Wake up you little pervert! Jack Osbourne: What the [beep] ? Audrey Liddell: What's this about you seeing me naked? Jack Osbourne: [to Pacey] What the [beep] did you tell her? Pacey Witter: Only what you told me, chief. Jack Osbourne: Oh, thanks a lot! Thanks a [beep] lot! I confide in you, and this is what I get? Audrey Liddell: I'm listening, Jack. Jack Osbourne: Well, you know that telescope in my bedroom? Well, I didn't exactly do much star gazing. Audrey Liddell: I'm so telling your father! Jack Osbourne: Go ahead, he had a peak too. And I might say that he was really impressed. Audrey Liddell: Okay, then I'm telling your mother, and she's really gonna kick your ass, Jack! Jack Osbourne: [beat] Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. Out of my [beep] way. I gotta take a [beep] piss.
