"Reeling from the loss of their future son Chris, an overprotective Piper and an obsessed Leo are forced by Phoebe and Paige to attend a Hindu wedding, where they inadvertently receive the powers of the Hindu's Ultimate Lovers, Shakti , the Goddess of Creation and her lover, Shiva , the God of Destruction. Phoebe and Paige must keep them from consummating their obvious new passion or according to Hindu dogma and legend, the world will be destroyed if they love one another again. Meanwhile, Barbas hatches a plot to distract Piper and Leo, well aware that Leo is hunting him and enlists a hoard of lesser demons to kidnap baby Chris . Paige finds that the remaining staff at Magic School is packing up in preparation for shutting down, and resolves to take action for it to remain open. Phoebe meets her ghost writer at the Bay Mirror and discovers that Leslie is a guy. Back at the manor, Inspector Sheridan and a reluctant Darryl Morris confront Leo and Paige in the nursery and Leo blasts her across the room knocking her unconscious then leaves. Barbas proves able to influence Leo and uses projective telepathy to implant beliefs and causes him to attack an elder who is actually on his side."

"[Scene: Manor. Kitchen. Paige, Wyatt and baby Chris are there. Baby Chris cries while Paige changes him, and Wyatt sits in a high chair throwing food.]",
"Paige: Help! Somebody help! Please?",
"(Piper walks in.)",
"Piper: Alright, alright, relax. I'm back. (She walks over to Wyatt and sees the mess.) What is this? How's his rash, does he need ointment?",
"Paige: I don't know, I've been kind of procrastinating on that one. It's not my favourite thing to check.",
"Piper: Why? You don't have a problem checking Wyatt.",
"Paige: Yeah, that's 'cause I don't flash forward to Wyatt being twenty-two like you do with Chris.",
"Piper: Oh, yeah, eww.",
"Paige: Exactly. Stinky diaper.",
"(The diaper orbs into the rubbish bin.)",
"Piper: Hey, hey, are you using magic?",
"Paige: Yeah. Wait till you see how I put the ointment on.",
"Piper: Hi, personal gain. Do you want to lose your powers like Phoebe did? What if a demon attacks?",
"Paige: Could liven things up around here.",
"Piper: Excuse me?",
"Paige: I'm just kidding. Sort of. Look, I love being a stay-at-home aunty, I really, really do, I just, I'm going crazy, I have to get out. You know, it wouldn't hurt you to get out a little bit too, I mean, you've been cooped up in here ever since... (Piper looks away.) You know, it's okay to talk about it, Piper. It won't hurt you, it could even help.",
"Piper: Talk about what? Gideon's gone, Chris and Wyatt are safe, it all worked out.",
"(Phoebe walks in.)",
"Phoebe: Ohh, coffee, coffee, coffee. I can not believe how late for work I am again.",
"Paige: Morning to you too.",
"Phoebe: And if you guys can be dressed for the wedding, then when I come back I'll just honk and you guys can meet me outside, okay?",
"(Phoebe walks into the dining room.)",
"Piper: Wait. What? Wait. (Piper runs after her.) What wedding? Wedding?",
"Phoebe: Christy's. Piper, don't tell me you forgot.",
"Piper: Christy's wedding. That's today? Hmm, well, I can't go. The kids.",
"Paige: Actually, the kids were invited too, so you can go. I think it would be good for them. I think it would be good for all of us.",
"Piper: No, I can't go, the baby...",
"Phoebe: Needs to be exposed to a germ or two. Get out of the house, you know, build up his immune system.",
"Piper: He's too young.",
"Phoebe: Piper, he's two months old.",
"Piper: I know how old he is, thank you.",
"Phoebe: Look, you can't protect them from the big bad world forever. They're going to have to leave the house at some point. By the way, how's Leo doing?",
"Piper: Well, considering who betrayed him, he's doing as well as can be expected.",
"[Scene: Alley. Leo orbs in. His face and clothes are covered in dirt.]",
"Leo: I know you're here, Barbas. You can't keep running from me.",
"(An invisible Barbas appears behind Leo.)",
"Barbas: You're afraid that vanquishing me won't ease your pain. (Leo turns around and in an instant Barbas appears behind him again.) 'Cause it wasn't a demon, it was an Elder. You're very mentor who tried to kill your son.",
"Leo: But you helped him. And that's why I'm gonna kill you too. (Leo walks down the alley.) Barbas!",
"[Cut to further down the alley. Barbas re-enters his body. He looks at the wound on his shoulder and flames out. Leo walks around the corner and feels the air where Barbas was sitting. He orbs out.]",
"[Cut to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge. And Elder is there meditating. Barbas flames in then flames back out. Leo orbs in.]",
"Leo: Zola?",
"Zola: Leo. Good, I've been calling for you.",
"Leo: What do you mean? Where's Barbas?",
"Zola: Who?",
"(Invisible Barbas appears behind Leo.)",
"Barbas: He's covering up for me. Oh, you know he is, you tracked me here.",
"Zola: What's the matter? Are you alright?",
"Barbas: One of your greatest fears. Not good guys, bad guys, all the same now. Hey, makes him just like Gideon.",
"(Leo gets mad and bolts of electricity shoot out of his hands. It hits Zola and throws him up against the bridge wall.)",
"Leo: Where is he? Where's Barbas?",
"Zola: I don't know!",
"Leo: Tell me!",
"Zola: I don't know! For god's sake, stop!",
"(Leo stops the electricity and Zola falls to the ground.)",
"Barbas: Damn. So close.",
"(Barbas disappears.)",
"Opening Credits",
"[Scene: Manor. Parlor. Phoebe walks down the stairs. Paige is laying on the couch with a newspaper over her face.]",
"Phoebe: Hey, have you seen Piper?",
"Paige: Up in Wyatt's room.",
"Phoebe: Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie, were you sleeping?",
"(Paige takes the newspaper off her face.)",
"Paige: Why start now? No, I was actually just trying to take a little break from nanny duties.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, you are such a doll to help out like you've been. I wish I could help you, but I can't, I have to work.",
"Paige: Tell me what it's like. Out there in the world where men don't poop or spit on you.",
"(Phoebe laughs.)",
"Phoebe: You really do need to get out, huh?",
"Paige: You know, maybe we can just swap jobs for the day. You know, I'll pay you.",
"Phoebe: Yeah?",
"Paige: Uh-huh.",
"Phoebe: Hmm, don't tempt me.",
"Paige: What, you're miserable too?",
"Phoebe: No, I wouldn't say miserable, I just, I don't know, I can't put my finger on it. I'm like in this rut or something, you know? I just feel really disconnected.",
"Paige: Yeah, I agree.",
"Phoebe: You agree? What do you know about my ruts?",
"Paige: Well, um, I know you gave some great advice to \"Lost in Los Altos\" about finding a new love, but, uh, you gave the same advice to \"Dumped in Daly\" last year.",
"Phoebe: What? Shut up, I did not. (Paige opens the newspaper to Phoebe's column.) Oh my god, I did. So maybe I should stop giving advice to people in finding love until I figure out how to find it myself.",
"Paige: You'll find it, you foresaw it.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, that was one big tease. I think that's what's messing me up.",
"Paige: No, I think what's messing you up is Gideon. I think it's the same thing that's messing us all up. He didn't just betray Leo, he betrayed all of us.",
"Zola's Voice: And those wounds don't heal easily. (Phoebe and Paige walk into the conservatory. Zola is standing there.) Forgive the intrusion. I thought it best I come to you first.",
"Phoebe: Whatever it is we're not interested.",
"Zola: No, I think you'll be interested in this. Leo, just tried to kill me. I didn't want the other Elders to find out, they'd think he was after us all now.",
"Paige: Well, you can hardly blame him, can you?",
"Zola: You're lack of faith is understandable given what Gideon has done, but one bad Elder doesn't make us all bad. We are on the same side here.",
"Phoebe: Are we?",
"Zola: Leo didn't really want to kill me, I know that. Still, if he had, there would have been no redeeming him. He would've had to been recycled.",
"Paige: Recycled like what? Recycled like plastic?",
"Zola: No, I mean like sent back, reborn to start the cycle of life over again. We don't want to punish him for killing Gideon. But we can't abide his harming innocents in the name of revenge. Which means if you don't stop him, we'll have to.",
"Phoebe: Stop him from what?",
"Zola: From his obsession with vanquishing Barbas. It's blinding him to reason, driving him over the edge. And if he succeeds, it won't make his sons any safer, or the betrayal any less painful. It won't heal his heart. Time is of the essence too, not just for his sake. We believe there's a powerful threat looming on the horizon, unlike any we've ever sensed before. And for that, we'll need everybody back into the fold, and soon.",
"(Zola orbs out.)",
"[Cut to the attic. Leo is frantically flipping through the Book of Shadows. He hears a noise.]",
"Leo: Barbas. I know you're here. Show yourself.",
"(A ghostly head floats through the attic.)",
"Voice: Don't let Barbas get away. Save your son.",
"Leo: Who are you? What do you want?",
"(Piper walks in holding baby Chris.)",
"Piper: Who are you talking to?",
"Leo: Nobody. How'd you know I was here?",
"Piper: I didn't. Wyatt did. Must be that orbing thing you guys share. He looked up and said 'dadda'.",
"Leo: Really?",
"Piper: Mmm-hm. He misses you. We all do.",
"Leo: I miss him too. Is there anything else on Barbas in here besides the main entry?",
"Piper: No. Would you like to hold your child?",
"Leo: Uh, I... I can't.",
"Piper: Well, you need to, Leo. Chris didn't die. He's alive. You need to move on.",
"Leo: Not until Barbas is gone, and they're both safe.",
"(Leo orbs out.)",
"[Scene: Underworld. Cave. Barbas and a Healer demon are there. The demon is cauterizing Barbas's wound with a hot iron stick. Barbas groans.]",
"Barbas: Is that absolutely necessary?",
"Demon: The wound is deep. Very easily could've been fatal. I wouldn't recommend going up against an Elder again if I were you.",
"Barbas: The problem is that he's the one after me and I haven't figured out how to shake him.",
"Demon: Ah, in that case then, this might all be for not.",
"Barbas: Thank you very much for your vote of confidence. Actually, I don't even know what it is that I did to offend him, except for that rugrat incident, and that all came out okay in the end more or less, and it wasn't even me. That was after.",
"(The ghostly figure floats through the cave.)",
"Voice: But it should be now.",
"Barbas: Whoa, whoa, whoa, what was that?",
"Demon: What was what?",
"Barbas: You didn't see that?",
"Demon: See what?",
"(The ghostly figure floats past.)",
"Voice: Go after the baby.",
"Barbas: That.",
"Demon: What?",
"(The ghostly figure floats past again.)",
"Voice: He'll be blinded by rage. Vulnerable.",
"Barbas: You're trying to tell me you didn't hear that?",
"Demon: Maybe we should look at that wound again.",
"Barbas: For god's sake. (Barbas throws an energy ball at the demon and vanquishes him.) A rotten healer anyway. Who are you? Friend or foe?",
"Voice: Neither. But if you want to stop the Elder, go after the baby.",
"(The ghostly figure floats straight towards Barbas and knocks him off his feet.)",
"Barbas: Cool. Very, very cool.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: The Bay Mirror. Phoebe walks in.]",
"Elise: Phoebe, there you are.",
"Phoebe: Elise, hi, I'm so sorry I'm late, it won't happen again.",
"Elise: Of course it will. But, hey, if you keep getting responses like these, who cares. Look at these emails, all from this morning's column.",
"Phoebe: Uh, yeah, about this morning's column...",
"Elise: It was brilliant, Phoebe. I mean, you make us look so classy when your advice is provocative, insightful...",
"Phoebe: Plagiarized. Don't worry, I stole from myself.",
"Elise: I don't understand.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, I don't understand either, Elise. But it turns out I gave the exact same advice to someone last year, and I didn't realise it until it was too late.",
"Elise: So? Big deal. Columnists recycle stuff all the time.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but I don't. At least, I never used to, and I just, I don't think I should write anymore until I figure out why this happened.",
"Elise: Don't be ridiculous.",
"Phoebe: No, I'm not being ridiculous, I'm just being honest, Elise. I can't give people recycled advice, it's just not right. It's not ethical.",
"Elise: Phoebe, you can't just quit.",
"Phoebe: Oh, and I don't want to quit. Elise, I love my job, you know, I just don't think I can do it right now.",
"Elise: Okay, alright, take a sabbatical, rest, recharge your batteries. A couple of months enough?",
"Phoebe: Can I do that?",
"Elise: Of course you can. I'm the boss, aren't I?",
"Phoebe: And what happens to my column? I mean, do you just pull it?",
"Elise: And watch sales drop? Are you kidding? (She thinks for a moment.) No. I'll hire someone to ghost write it for you. Your readers will never know you're gone.",
"Phoebe: Wait, what?",
"Assistant: Phoebe? Sorry, it's your sister, she says it's important.",
"Elise: Go ahead, I'll handle this. Don't worry about anything. Rest up.",
"(Phoebe walks into her office and picks up the phone.)",
"Phoebe: Hello?",
"Paige: Hey. I think I have figured out how to save Leo. If we can keep him from going after Barbas, then we can go after him ourselves.",
"Phoebe: Wait, what?",
"Paige: It's perfect. All we have to do is guilt Leo into taking Piper to the wedding.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but she doesn't even want to go.",
"Paige: I know. That's why I will volunteer to take care of the kids and that way Piper won't have any excuse not to go. Then while you guys are all at the wedding, I'll be at the book, you know, trying to find Barbas.",
"Phoebe: And then what? I mean, even if we find him, how are we gonna vanquish him without my powers and Piper's?",
"Paige: You can still cast spells, can't you?",
"Phoebe: Paige...",
"Paige: I am telling you, this could work. Not only could it save Leo, but it can get him and Piper back together, at a wedding no less. I mean, think about it. Maybe it could reunite some sparks. You know, do it for the children. Hell, do it for me.",
"Phoebe: I don't know about this.",
"Paige: Do you want to get out of that rut or don't you?",
"[Scene: The wedding. A gazebo is brightly decorated with Christy and Jeevan sitting inside, and friends and family are sitting on rows of chairs outside.]",
"Priest: We have come together on this glorious day to wed Christy and Jeevan. Who are here to build a foundation of their marriage upon the earth. In the presence of the sacred fire, and among their family and friends.",
"(Piper's car pulls up to the valet. Piper, Phoebe and Leo get out.)",
"Phoebe: Oh, we are so late. Has the ceremony started?",
"Valet: Yes, ma'am.",
"Phoebe: Oh, no. Okay.",
"Piper: I told you to just go ahead and go.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, well, I don't understand why you couldn't leave the baby with Paige.",
"(Leo gets the stroller out of the boot and Piper gets baby Chris out of the back seat.)",
"Piper: When you're a mother, you'll understand.",
"Phoebe: Okay, that's assuming I'm gonna have any eggs left. (Phoebe tries to open the stroller.) How do you do this thing?",
"Leo: Here.",
"(Leo opens it.)",
"Phoebe: Oh, so nice to have a man around the house.",
"Leo: Yeah, except I think I should still be after Barbas.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, not until you can distinguish between a demon and an Elder. You're stuck with us.",
"(Piper puts her phone to her ear.)",
"Piper: Paige? Hi.",
"Phoebe: What are you doing? Give me that. What are you doing?",
"Piper: What do you mean, what am I doing? I'm checking on Wyatt.",
"Phoebe: You just checked on Wyatt. Have you guys thought about seeing a shrink?",
"Piper: Yeah, we did that.",
"Phoebe: Okay, look, I know you haven't been out of the house in a very, very long time but this is Christy's wedding so please try and have fun.",
"(They take the wedding programs off of a table and look at the illustration on the front.)",
"Piper: Is this a wedding or an orgy?",
"Phoebe: It's a Hindu ceremony. It's supposed to be very, very, very romantic.",
"(Baby Chris cries.)",
"Piper: Oh, see, I knew this would happen. This is over stimulation. We've gotta get out of here. (The valet drives off with their car.) Hey, excuse me! Wait!",
"Phoebe: No, no, no. You know what? You guys go and I'll take care of Chris, okay? You guys go and have a good time. Have fun. Remember what that is? Fun? Come on. Diaper bag. Thank you.",
"(Piper and Leo walk over to the ceremony and sit down.)",
"[Cut to Phoebe. She is rocking the stroller.]",
"Phoebe: You're okay, shh, you're okay, Chris. You're okay.",
"(Darryl and Inspector Sheridan walk over to Phoebe.)",
"Sheridan: Chris, huh? Interesting name. Same as the guy who died in your house a couple of months ago, isn't it?",
"Phoebe: Are you following me?",
"Sheridan: Yes, I am. Actually, I would have approached you sooner but Lieutenant Morris here thought that you might need some time to mourn your loss. He's very protective of you. Seems to know you real well, which is why I asked him to be my partner on this. You know, you and your sisters don't seem to be getting out much lately. Why is that I wonder? You're not hiding from me, are you?",
"Phoebe: We've got nothing to hide.",
"Sheridan: Good. Then you'll have no objections coming down town to answer some questions. You've just been served.",
"Phoebe: Questions about what?",
"Sheridan: About what really happened to... the other Chris. How he mysteriously broke out of jail, how come he doesn't seem to appear in any database, how come you didn't have a funeral for him, what happened to his body. You know, just stuff like that. Four o'clock. Don't be late.",
"(She walks away.)",
"Phoebe: You know, I can almost understand you not helping us. But to help her?",
"Darryl: It's not like that, I swear. I don't want to be in the middle of this, but she knows that I know something. She knows we've got history.",
"Phoebe: And you think if she exposes us she's not gonna bust you too?",
"Sheridan: Coming, Lieutenant?",
"Phoebe: You're gonna have to chose a side, Darryl. It's just the way it works.",
"(They walk away.)",
"[Cut to the wedding.]",
"Priest: And now as the circle is a symbol of the earth and the sun and the universe, I call upon the goddess and god that created all things to bless this sacred union. (Two yellow clouds of light float down from the sky and hover above the gazebo.) And to consecrate upon them that...",
"Piper: Are you seeing what I'm seeing?",
"Leo: Yeah. But I don't think anyone else can. (The two yellow clouds of light hit Piper and Leo and they glow.) Are you okay?",
"Piper: I don't know. I feel a little woozy.",
"(She pulls out a tissue from her purse and Leo notices she now has six arms joined to her body.)",
"Leo: Piper. Uh-oh.",
"[Cut to Phoebe. Leo and Piper rush over to her. Piper is wearing Leo's coat to cover her extra arms.]",
"Phoebe: Hey, is the wedding over already? (Piper opens the coat to show Phoebe her extra arms.) Oh my god.",
"Leo: Let's get outta here.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Manor. Conservatory. Piper, Phoebe and Paige are there. Phoebe and Paige are watching Piper who is now wearing a Hindu dress. She feeds baby Chris and Wyatt, covers baby Chris with a blanket, brushes Wyatt's hair back, puts her own hair behind her ear, all at the same time using her six arms.]",
"Paige: I don't understand how could this have happened.",
"Phoebe: Beats the hell out of me.",
"(Leo walks in wearing Hindu clothes.)",
"Leo: Isn't she beautiful?",
"(He walks over to Piper and she pinches his butt. They smile at each other.)",
"Paige: I can't believe what I am seeing.",
"Phoebe: Tell me about it. When was the last time you saw Piper grab Leo's ass?",
"Paige: That's not what I'm talking about. Uh, we need to do something quickly.",
"(The phone rings. Piper answers it.)",
"Piper: Hello? Phoebe, it's for you.",
"Phoebe: Okay. Uh, Book of Shadows, Hindu spirits. (Phoebe takes the phone off Piper.) Hello?",
"Elise: Is this a bad time?",
"Phoebe: Actually, Elise, yeah, I'm kind of up to my elbows in stuff.",
"Elise: Well, I just wanted to give you the good news. The ghost writer that I was hoping to hire just happens to be in town and wants to do it. Isn't that terrific?",
"Phoebe: Wait, what?",
"Elise: And better yet, Leslie can start right away with tomorrow's column.",
"Phoebe: Leslie? Okay, who's Leslie? Elise, don't you think I should have a say in this?",
"Elise: So how soon can you get down here because I'd really like the two of you to meet as soon as possible.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, no, now's not really a good time.",
"Elise: Okay, well, how about in an hour? We'll see you then.",
"[Cut to The Bay Mirror. Elise and a man are there.]",
"Elise: She can hardly wait to meet you.",
"Leslie: Well, likewise.",
"[Cut to the Manor.]",
"Phoebe: She hung up on me. I cannot believe she hung up on me. (Piper turns to Leo and they put their arms around each other.) Okay, I will just leave you two to go at it.",
"[Cut to the attic. Paige is looking in the Book of Shadows. Phoebe walks in.]",
"Phoebe: Bright side? At least we know Piper and Leo still have the hots for each other.",
"Paige: Yeah, well, you better be careful with that whole hots thing because it's contagious. Don't stand too close. It comes courtesy of Shakti, the Hindu goddess of creation, and Shiva, her lover, the god of destruction.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but why did this happen to Piper and Leo? I mean, any ideas?",
"Paige: Why does anything happen to any of us around here?",
"Phoebe: Good point. \"Shakti and Shiva are commonly invoked at weddings because their considered to be the ultimate lovers.\"",
"Paige: Well, I'm thinking it's meant to be symbolic.",
"Phoebe: Unless they're magical lovers to hijack.",
"Paige: Read on.",
"Phoebe: \"Shakti also called the ultimate mother and Shiva together created all things, and if they consummate their love again, all things will be obliterated and the universe will be reborn.\"",
"Paige: Talk about your big bang theory.",
"[Cut to downstairs. Piper and Leo are kissing passionately. Phoebe and Paige come down the stairs.]",
"Phoebe: Oh! Alright, stop it! You two stop it right now. Stop it, stop it, stop it. (Phoebe and Paige pull them apart.) You go over there, you over here. (Piper slaps Phoebe with her six hands.) Oh, keep your hands to yourself.",
"Piper: But you're interrupting us.",
"Phoebe: And saving life as we know it.",
"Leo: What are you talking about?",
"Paige: Look at your outfit. Does that look like something you normally wear?",
"Leo: Well, no.",
"Paige: Exactly. This is not the first time we have been hijacked by gods. So you just have to fight it.",
"Leo: I don't want to fight it. I haven't felt this potent in years.",
"Phoebe: Over sharing. Any idea how to redirect his potency?",
"Paige: Yeah. We should send him after Barbas.",
"Leo: Barbas?",
"Phoebe: And what about the risk to the Elders?",
"Paige: I think the risk to the universe is greater. I've made a vanquishing potion, I'll go get it.",
"Leo: I won't need it. I'll be back.",
"Piper: I'll be waiting. (Leo disappears surrounded by lighting.) Wow, is that hot or what?",
"Phoebe: Or what.",
"Paige: Okay, I'm gonna go to magic school and try to find a spell to dispossess them.",
"Phoebe: Take the babies with you. They'll be safer there.",
"Piper: No. The babies stays with me.",
"(Phoebe starts to leave.)",
"Paige: Where are you going?",
"Phoebe: I have to go to, you know, work.",
"[Scene: Underworld. Cave. Barbas and a cave full of demons are there. The demons are all talking at once.]",
"Barbas: Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Please, one at a time, if you please. We're failing to see the problem here.",
"Demon #1: You asked for help. You said we would share in the spoils. Then you tell us you're going after the Charmed Ones. Do you take us for fools? That's suicide.",
"Barbas: No, no, no, we're not going after the Charmed Ones per se, just their little baby. Okay, it's obvious you're failing to grasp the big picture here, so I will explain it for you again for the umpteenth time. Okay, and going after the child, we are in a fact pouring salt into the still festering wounds of the father who happens to be an Elder. The Charmed Ones' Elder.",
"Demon #1: So.",
"Barbas: So his parental instincts kicks in. His vengeful little heart fills with rage and then with this tiniest little nudge from me, he makes a mistake, a fatal mistake.",
"Demon #1: Leaving the witches unprotected by him.",
"Barbas: Exactly. And leaving you with the best chances at knocking them off anybody's had in years. Almost sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?",
"Demon #1: What about that creature you told us about? How does he fit into all of this?",
"Barbas: See that's a very good question. One I don't have the answer to. But he did cloak this lair, so Leo couldn't track me, that makes him a friend. A very powerful friend.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Magic School. Teachers and students are packing stuff away. Paige orbs in with Wyatt.]",
"Paige: What's going on?",
"Mrs. Winterbourne: Oh, hi, Paige. We're packing up, closing down the school.",
"Paige: What? Since when?",
"Mrs. Winterbourne: Since Gideon died. Look, love him or hate him, he started this magic school and without him there's no one left to fight for it anymore.",
"Paige: I'll fight for it.",
"Mrs. Winterbourne: Against the Elders? You don't stand a chance. No offence, but Gideon was the only one that could stand up to them and convince them he could keep it safe from demons discovering us, or mortals for that matter.",
"Paige: Well, what about the next generation? Where are they gonna learn what needs to be learnt?",
"Mrs. Winterbourne: I don't know.",
"Paige: Is the nursery still open?",
"Mrs. Winterbourne: Yeah, another week or so.",
"Paige: Okay, stop packing those books because I'm gonna need them. (to Wyatt) Come on, baby.",
"[Scene: The Bay Mirror. Phoebe walks in.]",
"Phoebe: Elise.",
"Elise: Good, you're here. Come and meet your new...",
"Phoebe: Uh, yeah, just so we're clear, if I don't like this person we can find someone else, right?",
"Elise: Absolutely. It's your column, you've gotta be happy with him.",
"(Elise drags Phoebe into her office.)",
"Phoebe: Him? What? I'm sorry, him?",
"(A handsome man is sitting on Phoebe's chair, talking on the phone.)",
"Leslie: (on phone) I'd better call you back. (He hangs up.) Hi. I hope it's okay, I just wanted to get started.",
"Phoebe: Leslie?",
"Elise: Surprise.",
"Leslie: Expecting a girl, weren't you?",
"Phoebe: Well...",
"Leslie: So did my folks. That's how I got the name. You can call me Les.",
"(They shake hands.)",
"Elise: Now before you say no, just hear me out. He had his own advice column in Philly and it was totally hip, very hot, a perfect match for yours.",
"(Phoebe rubs Les' hand.)",
"Phoebe: Hot, huh? Wow. (She pulls away.) Oh. Not again.",
"Elise: He's relocating to L.A. in a couple of months which works out perfectly for how long you want to be away.",
"Phoebe: That's great, Elise, but he's a-a man.",
"Les: Is that a problem?",
"Phoebe: Uh, well, most of my readers are women.",
"Les: And you don't think a man can give advice to women?",
"Phoebe: Oh, no, actually, not as well as a woman can, no.",
"Les: Well, what about Dr. Phil?",
"(Les walks around and stands next to Phoebe.)",
"Phoebe: Uh, Dr. Phil is a doctor, right? Dr. Phil.",
"Les: Ah, so a man can give advice to women if he's a doctor.",
"(Phoebe tries to get a look at Les' butt.)",
"Phoebe: That's not what I meant.",
"Les: Well, that's what it sounded like. Are you feeling alright?",
"Phoebe: Me? Yeah. (She laughs.) Yes, I'm feeling alright. I'm great, are you kidding?",

"Paige: Works for us.",
"Barbas: Well, well, well, well. What do you know? It really is true. Just ask and ye shall receive. Of course, this lair was supposed to be cloaked.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, you should probably ask your invisible friend about that.",
"Barbas: Yeah, well, maybe I will. Ah, come to vanquish me I see. What, again?",
"Paige: Yeah, but I just have one little question first. Why the baby? What does that even get you?",
"Barbas: Ah, the baby. That just gets me to you without the bodyguard. By the way, how is old Leo, anyway? Suffering nicely I hope. (Paige is about to throw the potion.) Ah, ah, ah, ah. I think we should check your fears first. How charming. Your greatest fear is that your nephews won't be safe. From me. How touching. Of course, such a great fear paralyses you. Can't believe you forgot about that.",

"Phoebe: No, not really.",
"Les: So you kiss all the new employees their first day on the job, do you?",
"Phoebe: Yeah, well, that was, you know, not-not-not what you think it was.",
"Les: Oh, really.",
"Phoebe: Yeah.",
"Les: And what do you think I think it was?",
"Phoebe: Well, I don't know what you think it was but whatever you think it was, it actually wasn't. Anyway, uh, I thought I would wait until this morning and read what you wrote and see if I was still comfortable with my decision.",
"Les: And?",
"Phoebe: And I liked it. There was some good advice in there, considering you're a guy.",

"Piper: Well, who's gonna stop them?",
"Paige: I am.",
"Piper: What?",
"Paige: Yeah. I mean, magic's the best thing that has ever happened to me, right? I mean, other than you guys. No offence, but you guys did kind of happen to me at the same time that magic happened to me. So if you really actually count it...",
"Piper: Rambling.",
"Paige: Right. Look, aside from Gideon, the school is a great thing, right? And I think I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna get back to my magical roots.",
"Piper: I think that's a good idea. Um, any idea how you're gonna do it?",
"Paige: Not a clue. Oh my goodness. Are you going outside? With them?",
"Piper: Yes, I am. Now may I go or are you gonna tease me some more about it?",
"Paige: I'd really like to tease you some more, but I will wait until you get back. What changed?",
"Piper: Well, sharing a body with the ultimate mother, um, I got a few tips.",
"Paige: Like what?",
"Piper: Like, I can't protect them from everything. Or I'll probably end up making them neurotic.",
"Paige: Lord knows we don't need anymore of those around here.",
"Piper: No. So we're just gonna have to go out and brave the big bad world.",
"Paige: What about Leo? Is he gonna join?",
"Piper: No, he's still, um, dealing with some stuff.",

"Paige almost loses her fight to save Magic School when a bored student accidentally conjures Lady Godiva and Lord Dyson, a demonic land baron who feeds off repressed emotions. In the past, due to Godiva's ride, he was starved of repressed feelings and died of starvation, but bringing him to the present allows him to gain power. Paige has to send them back, or it would change the history as it is known. A new power starts to contact Leo, who believes he is losing his mind. They manage to send the two back, but change history as being in the present made Dyson powerful enough to kill Lady Godiva before her ride and change history. The Charmed Ones manage to summon the two again and try to vanquish Dyson, figuring if he is vanquished Godiva can be sent back alone. Finally, they succeed by having him feed off of Leo's repressed anger which overloads him and vanquishes him. Paige has the student that first summoned Godiva send her back and is able to prove to the Elders that they should keep Magic School open. In turn, they make her the new Headmistress."

"Phoebe: That's not me.",
"Piper: Sure looks like you.",
"Phoebe: No, I mean, the picture's me, just the column is not me. I knew a man couldn't give advice like a woman. Men are all about, you know, fixing the problem.",
"Piper: Isn't that what advice columnists are supposed to do?",
"Phoebe: No. I mean, yes, but first you're supposed to listen, then you're supposed to validate feelings. At least that's what a woman would do, but not a man, they go straight to fixing it. This \"Glass Ceiling in Sausalito\", Leslie tells this woman step by step how to deal with her boss. There are no feelings in there, no emotions. I mean, my readers are going to read that and know that I did not write it. This is a nightmare.",
"Piper: Honestly, it's real subtle. They might not notice.",
"Phoebe: Even the letters that he picks. They're all fix-it letters, you know? And I left him three messages about this yesterday, he did not call me back.",
"Piper: I thought the whole point of this little vacation was for you to relax and recharge.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, I know. But it's still my column, you know, I still care about it.",
"Piper: Any big change takes some adjusting. So for a while you're just gonna feel a little lost.",
"Phoebe: See, you just validated my feelings.",
"Piper: Phoebe, you need to stop obsessing. Unless, of course, you know, you're obsessing because, um, you like him.",
"Phoebe: No, I don't like him. He's like... eww.",
"Piper: Well, then forget about it and find something else to obsess about.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, I know, you're right, I have to find a way to channel my energy, find something to be passionate about. (Piper sees a couple and the manager staring at her from near by.) You know, Paige with Magic School, you saving Leo.",
"Piper: I'm not saving him, I'm just hoping that by spending some time with the boys that he'll feel loved and needed, and realise that life isn't all that bad.",

"Paige: I learned from my sisters and they did from their mother and their grandmother. But not everybody has that. What these kids need... (Paige is hit with a spit ball.) What these kids need is guidance.",
"Elder #1: The point remains that with Gideon no longer around, the safety of this institution, both to the students and to the outside world can no longer be guaranteed.",
"Paige: I can guarantee it. (He gives her a look.) I mean, I can try to guarantee it. You see, I fight demons on a weekly basis and I think that more than qualifies me to be able to deal with some magical students. (A student sitting near a statue of Cupid, wiggles his finger and Cupid's arrow flies through the air, passes the Elders and hits a wooden crate.) Like I said, they need some guidance.",

"Duncan: Well, that's the thing, I don't know how to send her back. I only know how to conjure.",
"Paige: Okay, that is bad. I mean, not that you're bad. It's just a bad situation, you know what I mean? But I know you didn't mean it, so you're not really bad. It's okay, it's okay. Uh, we'll fix it. I hope. (Lady Godiva gets off the horse and grabs a robe from near by and covers herself up. Paige pulls a robe off a teacher.) I need to borrow this. I'll have it dry cleaned.",
"Elder #1: Is that who I think it is?",
"Paige: Lady Godiva. Pretty impressive use of magic, huh?",
"Elder #1: Don't you know how dangerous it is to mess with history? If we don't find a way to send her back before anything happens to her.",

"Piper: Well, you know, but when is a good time? Sometimes we just have to make the time.",
"Leo: Which I will do once I've taken care of any threats towards them.",

"Leo: I killed another Elder?",
"Piper: Yeah, but it wasn't your fault.",
"Leo: It doesn't change the facts.",
"Piper: The fact is the boys need a father. And that's really all that matters, and I can't understand why you're focusing on all this bad stuff when you have some good stuff in your life.

"Paige: Yes. And if I can keep anything from happening to you before I send you back, you'll remain there. (Lady Godiva looks at the illustration in the book. She sees Lord Dyson standing beside the horse.) What's wrong?",
"Lady Godiva: Lord Dyson.",
"Paige: Is that your husband?",
"Lady Godiva: No. An evil land baron who feeds on the pain of peasants, suppresses them for his own gain. He's the weasel who convinced my husband to tax them.",
"Paige: Were you scared doing what you did? I mean, that was what, about a thousand years before women received equal rights.",
"Lady Godiva: It was the right thing to do. It was the only way to make my husband see that I was serious about my stand, to shock him.",
"Paige: And history too, apparently. Okay, mount up.",
"(Lady Godiva walks towards her horse. She stops.)",
"Lady Godiva: Will it be painful?",
"Paige: No, it's magic. You won't feel a thing.",
"Lady Godiva: Magic. I didn't think it really existed.",
"Paige: Oh, it exists. It's just something that's hidden, you can't see it. I see not a lot of things have changed. (Lady Godiva gets on the horse.) Uh, robe?",
"Lady Godiva: Oh! I almost forgot. (She takes off the robe and throws it to Paige.) Good luck, saving all this.",
"Paige: Thanks. Good luck on your ride. \"From lands afar in time and space, take her now from this our place, one that dwells so must remain, send her back to her domain.\"",
"(Nothing happens.)",
"Lady Godiva: What's wrong?",
"Paige: I don't know, should've worked. (They hear a crash from the other room.) Stay here. (Paige runs into the great hall. People are fighting with each other. Elder #1 helps a woman up.) What happened?",
"Elder #1: You tell me. You were the one who said you could control these students.",
"Paige: Okay, well, I don't see how conjuring Lady Godiva could've caused all of this.",
"Elder #1: Unless she wasn't the only thing conjured.",
"(A student telekinetically sends another student flying through the air.)",
"Paige: Boxes! (A pile of boxes orbs under the student just as he falls, making a soft landing.) Well, at least this shows how much kids need help learning to control their magic.",
"Elder #1: This is a disaster. A complete utter disaster!",
"(Lord Dyson walks up to the Elder.)",
"Lord Dyson: By all means, don't repress yourself. (He sucks the Elder's repression and becomes visible.) To be whole again.",
"Paige: Who the hell are you?",
"Elder #1: I've had it with you and your stupid ideas.",
"(Lightning shoots out of his hand and hits Paige on the shoulder, knocking her down.)",
"Lord Dyson: So much repression to feed on.",
"(Lady Godiva walks in.)",
"Lady Godiva: You.",
"Lord Dyson: My lady.",
"(He creates an energy ball.)",
"Paige: Watch out!",
"(Lord Dyson throws the energy ball at Lady Godiva but it fizzles out before it reaches her.)",
"Lord Dyson: No matter. I'll just collect more power and then I'll be back.",
"(He shimmers out.)",

"[Scene: Manor. Living room. Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Lady Godiva are there. Piper is dabbing Paige's wound.]",
"Paige: It's okay, it's just a graze.",
"Phoebe: I still can't believe an Elder attacked you.",
"Paige: I know, they're supposed to be pacifists, right?",
"Piper: Have you seen Leo lately? Speaking of which. Leo!",
"Paige: He's a little mad at me and I can't say I blame him. I did kind of mess things up.",
"Phoebe: Well, that doesn't explain why he tried to kill you.",
"Lady Godiva: Pardon me.",
"Paige: I think the demon did something to the Elder, got him to free up his repressed anger somehow.",
"Phoebe: Oh, probably wasn't breast fed as a child.",
"Piper: Phoebe.",
"Phoebe: What?",
"Paige: Well, either way, we wouldn't even be in this situation, this demon wouldn't even be here if I hadn't have had the great stroke of genius to try to save school.",
"Phoebe: So why do you think he tried to kill her?",
"Lady Godiva: If I could just...",
"Paige: Maybe he knew what I didn't know. Which is that since they came together, they have to leave together.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but why wouldn't he want to go back?",
"Lady Godiva: If you would just listen to me.",
"(She removes the robe she was wearing. Piper, Phoebe and Paige look away.)",
"Phoebe: Oh!",
"Piper: Wow!",
"Lady Godiva: Which is apparently still the only way I can get anybody to listen to me.",
"Piper: Woman, keep your clothes on, this is a family show. Really.",
"(Lady Godiva covers herself up with the robe.)",
"Lady Godiva: I know that man, or demon as you call him. It's Lord Dyson.",
"Paige: The land baron?",
"Lady Godiva: Except in my time he was different. Smaller, weaker.",
"Piper: Okay, so how did he get stronger?",
"(The doorbell rings. Lady Godiva looks around.)",
"Paige: It's okay, doorbell, newfangled contraption.",
"(Phoebe looks through the window.)",
"Phoebe: Oh my god, oh my god, it's Leslie.",
"Piper: Don't answer it.",
"Phoebe: What if it's about my letter?",
"Piper: Forget the stupid letter.",
"Phoebe: Oh, what, can everyone have a cause but me?",
"Piper: Yes. Upstairs, upstairs.",
"(Phoebe goes to the front door and opens it.)",
"Phoebe: Leslie, hey, what a surprise.",
"Leslie: I brought you a peace offering.",
"(He hands her a purple feather pen. He sees Piper, Paige and Lady Godiva race up the stairs.)",
"Phoebe: Those are my sisters.",
"Leslie: I thought you just had two.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, the other one is a cousin, distant cousin... twice removed. Come in, come in. (Les walks in and they stand in the foyer.) So you drove all the way over here just to give me this lovely pen?",
"Les: Well, it's your pen, isn't it?",
"Phoebe: You know this is not my pen.",
"Les: You're right. I bought that from a street vendor on my way over. Just looking for an excuse. You have a nice place. The paper pays you better than I thought.",
"Phoebe: So what are you really doing here?",
"Les: I thought you might like a chance to apologise.",
"Phoebe: Oh? For what?",
"Les: For trying to slip that breast feeding letter past me.",
"Phoebe: What?",
"Les: Look, I know you wrote it. I recognise your handwriting, Phoebe. I've studied all your work.",
"Phoebe: You have?",
"Les: Yeah, how else am I gonna get away with ghost writing a column for you.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, see that's the problem. I actually don't think you're getting away with it.",
"Les: Because I'm a man.",
"Phoebe: No, because you pick letters a man would pick.",
"Les: Ask Phoebe wouldn't pick a breast feeding letter.",
"Phoebe: Oh, no?",
"Les: No. Because it's a cause and she doesn't do causes.",
"Phoebe: I know what kind of letters I pick.",
"Les: Oh, yeah? Then why are you taking a sabbatical? Look, I'm sorry, it's just, the only reason I took this gig is because I'm a huge fan of yours. I mean of your column. I just want to do the best job I can, but see the thing is I can't really do that with you looking over my shoulder all the time. Alright?",
"Phoebe: Alright.",
"Les: Alright.",
"[Cut to the attic. Piper is looking through a history book and Paige is looking through the Book of Shadows.]",
"Lady Godiva: Would it be cheating too much if I peeked ahead to see what becomes of me?",
"Piper: Well, seeing as you're probably not going to remember any of this, I don't see why not.",
"Paige: Closest thing I can find is a demon who feeds off anger but you already got him. (She slams the book shut.) Ow. Remember when Leo used to come when you call him?",
"Piper: Mm-hm. Says here your Lord Dyson mysteriously disappeared the day you rode through town.",
"Paige: Well, I doubt that's just a coincidence.",
"Lady Godiva: And the tax was repealed, which means I accomplished my goal.",
"Piper: No offence, lady, but you drop your trousers, liberation for all and suddenly your demon vanishes off the face of the earth for all of eternity. Isn't that a little far fetched?",
"Paige: No. Not if the demon feeds off of repressions. Maybe that's how he gains his strength.",
"Piper: Well, then that would make the reverse true as well. Your ride starved him into oblivion. (Leo orbs in with the kids.) Please tell me you weren't vanquishing demons with the children.",
"Leo: Chris was fussy. It calmed him.",
"Piper: Oh. Really.",
"Leo: Is that Lady...",
"Piper: Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little healing, a little healing. (Leo walks over to Paige.) And then we need you to find out what they know about some sort of repressor demon.",
"Leo: You want me to go up there?",
"Piper: Don't worry, I'll get the Elfin nanny to watch the kids.",
"Leo: That's not what I was worried about.",
"Paige: Uh, hello? Heal, ouch, hurt. Focus.",
"(He heals her shoulder.)",
"Piper: I think it wouldn't hurt to have a little chat with the Elders to see what they think about the demon.",
"Leo: What if they know about...",
"Piper: I think if they knew, we would know by now.",
"Lady Godiva: Are they talking about Lord Dyson?",
"Paige: No, they're talking about something that Leo did that they don't want me to know about.",
"Piper: Just go. (Leo orbs out.) Let's find out what we can about this repressor demon before it starts to feed off our repressions. Shall we?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Street. Lord Dyson is walking down the street.]",
"Lord Dyson: So, this is the land of the free, hey? (He sees a man and a woman arguing.) Oh, infuriating, isn't it? Well, don't hold back. Let it out. (He holds out his hand a pulls the repression out of the woman. She punches the man in the face.) Such a plethora of repression, it's hard to choose. Who's next? Who's next? I love this century! (A police car speeds around the corner. Lord Dyson throws an energy ball at it and it blows up.) More. I need more. Who's still out there holding it in.",
"[Scene: Top of Golden Gate Bridge. Leo is waiting there. A female Elder orbs in.]",
"Female Elder: Sorry to have kept you waiting.",
"Leo: Why'd we have to meet here? Why couldn't we meet up there?",
"Female Elder: You didn't here? An Elder's gone missing, Leo. Perhaps killed. We can't be too careful.",
"Leo: You think I did it?",
"Female Elder: You killed Gideon.",
"Leo: He tried to kill my son. I was protecting my family.",
"Female Elder: We understand. But this is different. The Elder was Zola, Leo. And we understand that he was trying to reach out to you when he disappeared. We are your family, Leo, you are one of us.",
"Leo: I don't know that I am anymore. Everything's changed.",
"Female Elder: Just because of what Gideon did? Leo, good is not perfect, sometimes it messes up. But that doesn't mean it isn't still good, and we are.",
"Leo: Are we?",
"Female Elder: Listen to me, Leo. We have sensed a great and new threat gathering, one which will take everything we've got to fight. And we need you for that. We're gonna need everyone.",
"Leo: You know what I need? I need information on a demon that feeds on repression. Can you help me out or not?",
"Female Elder: I'll see what I can do. Think about what I've said.",
"(She orbs out. The ghostly creature floats past Leo.)",
"Ghostly Creature: You can't trust her. You can't trust any of them anymore.",
"Leo: Why are you doing this to me? Who are you?",
"[Scene: Magic School. Piper and Paige are there.]",
"Paige: I can't believe how empty this place is without students.",
"Piper: Yeah, well, I'm hoping you'll find a way to save it after all this. Especially for your nephew's sake.",
"Paige: Thanks, no pressure.",
"(They walk into a room where Phoebe and Lady Godiva are. Phoebe is lighting candles and Lady Godiva is sitting on her horse.]",
"Piper: Ready to summon?",
"Phoebe: Yep. All ready to go.",
"Paige: I still think we should wait for Leo and find out what he knows about the demon.",
"Piper: No, it doesn't matter. After we send him back, history will take care of them. (to Lady Godiva) As long as you finish your ride.",
"Lady Godiva: Promise. And thank you, for giving me a glimpse of what's to come.",
"Phoebe: Thank you, for showing us you're more than a box of chocolates.",
"Lady Godiva: I'm sorry?",
"Piper: Never mind. Okay, here we go. \"We look to find the evil set free, bring this demon before us three.\" (Lord Dyson appears.) Hi, there.",
"(Piper tries to blow him up.)",
"Phoebe: Uh, why didn't he explode?",

"Paige: Uh, okay, okay, okay. \"From lands afar in time and space, take them now from this our place, two that dwell so must remain, send them back to their domain.\" (Lady Godiva and Lord Dyson disappear.) It worked. (The candles blow out and lights go off, leaving the room pitch black.) Uh-oh, that's not good.",
"(Piper lights a candle.)",
"Piper: Well, at least they're gone.",
"Phoebe: Great. Will you guys drop me off at the office on your orb home?",
"Paige: I thought you weren't looking over Leslie's shoulders anymore.",
"Phoebe: Well, I'm not. But first I have to get him to pick my letter.",
"Piper: Orbing.",
"(They orb out.)",
"[Cut to The Bay Mirror. Hallway. The girls orb in.]",

"Phoebe: It's not so bad if you like grey.",
"Piper: I don't understand how everything changed so much.",
"Paige: Well, we sent the demon back stronger than when he came. Strong enough to kill Lady Godiva.",
"Phoebe: Still, it's hard to believe her ride affected just everything. Look at this.",
"Piper: Apparently it had an impact on us women because it sent us back like a thousand years or so.",
"Phoebe: We have to fix this.",
"Piper: Oh, no. I left Wyatt and Chris with the Elfin nanny before...",
"Phoebe: That's okay. They're boys. They're probably being treated like royalty right now. Hey, why didn't we change?",
"Paige: Probably because we were at Magic School and protected? (People near by stare at the girls.) Okay, guys, uh, I think we're attracting a little too much attention out here. What say we orb back to the Book of Shadows.",
"Phoebe: No, I don't want to go back home.",
"Piper: Why?",
"Phoebe: Did you hear what Leslie said?",
"Paige: Well, we can't stay out here, we're attracting too much attention.",
"Piper: Yeah, and we wouldn't want to be flogged. (They look up at a sign that reads \"Women who talk in public will be flogged\".) So much for your breast feeding campaign.",
"Phoebe: Cute.",
"(A man on a horse rides over to them.)",
"Man: Hey.",
"[Time lapse. Piper, Phoebe and Paige are locked in a jail cell.]",
"Guard: Every peep out of you adds an extra flogging to your sentence.",
"(He walks away.)",
"Phoebe: What is flogging, exactly?",
"Paige: I don't know. But how about we orb out of here so we don't have to find out.",
"Piper: Where are we gonna go? We still have to fix this somehow.",
"Guard: That's two extra floggings each!",
"Piper: Okay. Look, we need to figure out something 'cause I need to feed someone, soon.",
"Paige: What if Lady Godiva's still alive?",
"Phoebe: Oh, Paige, I know you're upset, we all are. But we can't bring her back to life.",
"Paige: No, no, no. Why can't we conjure her? That way she'd still be alive and her ride would still be ahead of her.",
"Piper: I don't know how that's gonna get us back to our world.",
"Paige: Maybe it will if she can finish her ride.",
"Phoebe: We'd have to vanquish the demon first this time.",
"Paige: We can do that. We just have to get out of here.",
"Piper: (whispers) Leo.",
"Phoebe: Oh. What if he's different in this world too?",
"Piper: That's a mighty fine question. Leo!",
"(Leo orbs in wearing a suit.)",
"Leo: What are you guys doing here? What are you wearing?",
"Piper: Uh, look, we're kind of in a hurry, so cliff notes version. Demon killed Lady Godiva which changed history, we gotta fix it, so are you with me or what?",
"Leo: Lady Godiva?",
"Phoebe: Yeah, she probably doesn't mean much to you, but apparently she means a lot to us.",
"Paige: Duncan. We're gonna need Duncan to conjure her. Leo, can you take me to Magic School?",
"Leo: Magic School? Magic School's been shut for years. Everyone's in hiding here, even demons. No one dare uses magic.",
"Phoebe: Talk about repressed.",
"Paige: Okay, but magic still exists, which means this kid Duncan has to be somewhere, right?",
"[Cut to an alley. A dozen kids or so are there playing games and making potions using their magic. Paige and Leo orb in.]",
"Leo: They've got no place else to go. We keep them here for their own safety.",
"(Paige sees Duncan standing in a corner by himself.)",
"Paige: Okay, go back to Phoebe and Piper, help them find the history book, we're gonna need it. Don't ask, it'll just give you a headache. (Leo orbs out. Paige walks over to Duncan.) Duncan?",
"Duncan: Nobody by that name here.",
"Paige: Uh, yeah, well, I don't have time to play games.",
"Duncan: Yeah, neither do I, so if you're thinking of jackin' my stash, don't.",
"(She takes a plastic bag from him.)",
"Paige: Murdock root? This is your stash?",
"(Duncan grabs Paige and pushes her against a fence.)",
"Duncan: Lady, I'm warning you. Back off, understand? (Paige orbs out and orbs back in behind him.) You one of them freedom fighters?",
"Paige: I don't know about that, but I would like to free you from this life you've got going here. I just need the conjuring spell.",
"Duncan: Are you trying to get me hanged? Just because these guys are getting away with some piss-ass magic, doesn't mean we're not being watched.",
"Paige: Look, I come from a world where good magic isn't wasted. And it can be that way again, I just need your conjuring spell.",
"Duncan: You are one of the do-gooders always spewing that crap.",
"Paige: No, this is crap, okay? Because I know you had dreams and I know you have hopes and you're just suppressing them.",
"Duncan: But you think I'm scared of my dreams, don't you? No, because I'm not.",
"Paige: You have a choice. You can either step up and be a man or you can crawl back into your little rat hole. It's up to you.",
"[Scene: Magic School. Piper, Phoebe and Leo are there. Piper and Phoebe are looking through the history book while Leo lights candles around the room.]",
"Phoebe: No Joan of Arc, no Catherine the Great, none of them are in here.",
"Piper: Keep looking.",
"Phoebe: It's pretty amazing this world is so much more repressed, and yet Leo seems freer.",
"Piper: Yeah, I almost forgot what he was like.",
"(Paige orbs in.)",
"Paige: Okay, I got the spell. Did you find Godiva?",
"Phoebe: Yep, right here. But talk about your fine print.",
"Paige: Doesn't matter, as long as she's in there.",
"Leo: So wait, I don't understand. If you return her back to just before she was killed, history will reverse itself?",
"Paige: I warned you about the headache thing, right? Okay, so as soon as we get them here, you blast Dyson, then we send her back right away.",
"Phoebe: I thought we had to send them back together?",
"Paige: I'm hoping no. Not if Dyson doesn't exist anymore.",
"Piper: But first we gotta make sure we're okay. There's no buried resentments that a hungry demon could feed off of? Phoebe?",
"Phoebe: No, I'm fine. As long as Leslie's not in the room, I'm fine. You?",
"Piper: No, I'm good. I pretty much tell you guys when I'm pissed off.",
"Phoebe: That's a good point. Paige?",
"Paige: Sometimes I feel repressed being the little sister.",
"Piper: What, you want to be the oldest sister? Come on now, get over it.",
"Paige: Okay, I'm over it. \"Where royals once lived, so did she, bring forth the naked lady, from the eleventh century.\" (The illustration in the book glows and Lady Godiva and Lord Dyson appear in the room. The whole room glows as the world returns to normal.) That's more like it.",
"(Paige rushes over to Lady Godiva and hands her a robe.)",
"Lady Godiva: Paige. I thought you were sending me back?",
"Paige: Change of plans.",
"Lord Dyson: Perhaps I need a little more power.",
"(He tries to suck the repression out of Phoebe and Paige but nothing happens.)",
"Phoebe: Nice try.",
"(He succeeds in sucking repression out of Piper.)",
"Paige: Piper?",
"Lord Dyson: So much bottled up anger.",
"Piper; (to Leo) You know what? Enough with your moping. The Elders screwed you? What about me?",
"Phoebe: Piper, what are you doing?",
"Piper: I am not going to raise two little boys all on my own because you're too busy feeling sorry for yourself. Alright? So get over it. Seriously.",
"Lord Dyson: Now, where was I?",
"(He throws an energy ball towards Lady Godiva.)",
"Paige: Energy ball. (The energy ball reflects back to Lord Dyson hitting him in the chest. He stumbles backwards.) Ooh, that's not good.",
"(Piper blows up Leo over and over and he continues to orb back in.)",
"Leo: Piper, enough. Stop.",
"Phoebe: Okay, you get Piper, I'll get him.",
"(Phoebe kicks Lord Dyson in the chest. Paige goes over to Piper and grabs her arm.)",
"Paige: Piper, snap out of it. It's the demon doing this to you, not Leo.",
"(Lord Dyson creates an energy ball.)",
"Piper: No!",
"(She goes to blow him up but he shimmers out.)",
"Phoebe: Piper.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Manor. Piper, Phoebe and Paige walk into the conservatory where Leo and Lady Godiva are.]",

"Paige: You couldn't tell?",
"Piper: I'm a working single mother of two kids. I barely have time to brush my teeth, let alone self reflection.",
"Phoebe: Well, maybe you should make time.",
"Leo: Nothing that needed healing. She's just a little shaken up.",
"Phoebe: I bet she is.",
"Paige: Well, guys, we'd better come up with a plan because Lord Dyson is out there getting stronger as we speak. Thanks to Piper.",
"Piper: Alright.",
"Paige: Look, all we're saying is that when he comes back...",

"Paige: No, she won't stand a chance. He'll feed off Leo.",
"(Lord Dyson throws another energy ball and Piper blows it up in mid-air.)",
"Piper: Just get her out of here. We'll think of something.",
"(Paige orbs out with Lady Godiva. Piper and Phoebe run up the stairs.)",
"Phoebe: We'll think of something? That's the best you can do?",
"(Leo runs up the stairs after them. Lord Dyson throws an energy ball and it hits the stairs railing. Leo stops and shoots lightning bolts at Lord Dyson, but misses. He runs up the stairs.)",
"[Cut to the hallway.]",
"Piper: I'm officially open to other ideas.",
"Phoebe: Okay, maybe we should let him get to Leo. Maybe a little overdose.",
"Piper: Or become unstoppable.",
"Phoebe: He already is that.",
"(Leo joins them.)",
"Leo: Okay, I am orbing you guys out of here.",
"Piper: No, actually, you're gonna let him feed on you. See ya.",

"Leo: What?",
"(Piper and Phoebe hide in a room. Lord Dyson walks into the hallway.)",
"Lord Dyson: Let's see what you've been hiding from me. Oh, there's so much. So ready to come out. Let it out, let it all out.",
"(He sucks Leo's repression.)",
"Leo: You demons have it so easy. No morality to worry about, no attachments, no one to lose.",
"Piper: (from bedroom) Yeah, you tell him, Leo.",
"Leo: When you kill, you feel nothing!",
"(Lord Dyson can't handle the repression. He yells and explodes, destroying the furniture around him. Piper and Phoebe come out of the room.)",
"Piper: How you doing? Feels good to get rid of all that stuff, huh?",
"(Paige and Lady Godiva walk into the hallway.)",
"Paige: You did it. You vanquished him.",
"Phoebe: Thanks to Leo.",
"Lady Godiva: Finally, I'm free!",

"Duncan: Well, I don't want to be that way anymore.",
"Paige: You don't have a choice. None of us do. Look, you messed up. Big deal. That's what you're here for, to learn, to gain control over your powers. You have to show that you can fix this for all our sakes.",

"(He looks up.)",

"Paige: I knew you could do it. (Elder #1 orbs in.) I got this one.",
"Elder #1: You can't help yourself, can you Paige? You just can't leave well enough alone.",
"Paige: If well enough alone means shutting down Magic School, then no, no I can't. If you don't give these amazing kids a place to go and express themselves, then you are going to be crushing their spirits and relegating them to hiding in caves and alley ways and abusing magic because they have nowhere else to turn.",
"Elder #1: I think you've made your point.",
"Paige: So...",
"Elder #1: So we won't shut it down.",
"Paige: What?",

"Phoebe: This man is still living in the eleventh century. He wants women to be barefoot and pregnant and stay at home. He thinks we should be ashamed of breast feeding, the most natural thing in the world. Well, shame on him. I'm not ashamed and neither should you be. (The people cheer.) And it's a shame that women have to take off their clothes to be heard. We shouldn't have to be exploited like this. Right?",
"Everyone: Right!",

"(Phoebe sits at the table.)",
"Paige: Oh, probably something to do with the kids.",
"Phoebe: Why, did something happen?",
"Paige: Oh, I'm sure they've gotten kidnapped by the latest demon or something.",
"Phoebe: Paige, that is so not funny.",
"Paige: You get so emotional when you're PMS-ed.",
"Phoebe: And you get mean.",
"Paige: I do not get mean. I'm above it all. Nothing happens to me.",
"(Piper walks in.)",
"Piper: All righty then!",
"(Paige is startled and orbs out and back in.)",
"Phoebe: Oh, right, nothing happens to you. You're above it all.",
"Paige: Fine, I get a little jumpy.",
"Piper: And I get a little pissy, so watch it.",
"Phoebe, Paige: We know.",
"Paige: The good news is we all get over it at the same time.",
"Piper: As long as we don't kill each other in the process, which brings me to what we need to talk about.",
"Paige: Ah, that sounds serious. That calls for ice cream with three spoons.",
"(Ice cream orbs in in front of Paige.)",
"Phoebe: Ah-ah-ah! Personal gain.",
"Paige: I know, but screw it, it's too good.",
"(Paige puts a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth.)",
"Piper: Anyway, I've been wanting to tell you guys something for a while. Um, I just didn't know how to say it.",
"Phoebe: Oh, my god, are you pregnant again?",
"Piper: No, this is not a good thing. Do you guys remember Zola, the Elder who disappeared?",
"Paige: Yeah.",
"Piper: Well, he didn't disappear. He was killed. Leo killed him.",
"Phoebe: Leo killed him?",
"Paige: Heh!",
"Piper: It was an accident. He didn't mean to. I mean, he was tricked.",
"Paige: You might want to tell that to Zola.",
"(The light bulbs in the chandelier above the table smash.)",
"Phoebe, Paige: Oh!",
"(Piper storms into the kitchen. Phoebe and Paige follow.)",
"Phoebe: Hey, hey, what was that?",
"Piper: I was angry.",
"Paige: Uh, yeah, but you blew it up without even looking at it.",
"Piper: Well, our emotions are tied to our powers so apparently I'm feeling a little weird.",
"Paige: Well, okay, but...",
"Piper: I was just hoping for a little understanding, that's all.",
"Phoebe: I know. We're sorry. It's just, we're not big fans of the Elders right now.",
"Paige: I mean, plus it's not like Leo could really hurt anybody anyway. We don't believe that he could actually do that.",
"Piper: Well, unfortunately the Elders don't think that way. And if they can prove that he did do it, they won't think he did it by accident.",
"(Leo orbs in.)",
"Leo: Sorry to interrupt, but I have to tell you something that you're probably not gonna like.",
"Paige: Did you kill anybody else? I'm sorry.",
"Leo: You told them?",
"Piper: Well, I had to. It affects them too.",
"Leo: More than you know. They want to assign you a new Whitelighter because of it.",
"Phoebe: What?",
"Leo: They're getting more suspicious about what happened. They want to make sure you're protected.",
"Paige: Protected from what? You?",
"Piper: They're out of their minds.",
"Leo: Still, he's gonna be sent here tomorrow.",
"Piper: Well, I hope I don't blow him up.",
"Leo: Piper, you can't blow up a whitelighter.",
"Phoebe: Why not? She blows you up all the time.",
"Piper: Look, we have enough people orbing in and out of here on a daily basis and we don't need another.",
"(The toaster blows up.)",
"Leo: Got it.",
"(He orbs out.)",
"Phoebe: That was a great toaster.",
"[Scene: Park. Danny, the new Whitelighter, is there meditating in the air. Leo orbs in.]",
"Leo: You know, you probably shouldn't be doing that out in the open.",
"Danny: Oh, please! Nobody's here. It's midnight. Besides, I would've sensed if anybody was coming.",
"Leo: You didn't sense me.",
"Danny: You're an Elder. Or at least you used to be.",
"Leo: You know, I just here to tell you that maybe you don't want to go by the sisters' house tomorrow. Just a friendly warning.",
"Danny: Oh, yeah? Did you warn Zola, too, before something happened to him? You see, the word's out, Leo. Nobody knows which side you're on anymore, which is precisely why I am going to the sisters tomorrow. It's a dream job for any Whitelighter. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to prepare myself.",
"(Leo orbs out. Danny hears rustling in the bushes near by.)",
"Danny: Leo?",
"(Something growls. Then three black wolf-like creatures jump out of the bushes and attack Danny. Danny falls to the ground and screams as they maul him to death.)",

"Piper: Oh, no. (She walks over to the oven.) Oh, no, no, no, no, no. That's the second batch. (She opens the oven and pulls out burned muffins.) Could you turn that thing off?",
"Leo: Uh, I'll get the ladder.",
"Piper: Oh, forget it.",
"(She blows up the fire alarm.)",
"Leo: Hey, what is going on with you guys?",
"Piper: Witches with PMS. Look out. Great. Now not only am I exhausted but I'm starving.",
"(Phoebe and Paige walk in.)",
"Phoebe: Oh, I'll see your exhausting and starving and I raise you bloated. (She sees the burnt muffins.) Oh, no, no. That is so sad.",
"Paige: Hey, no weeping. You promised.",
"Leo: Have you guys seen the new Whitelighter yet?",
"Paige: No, Leo. You probably scared him off.",
"Leo: No, that's the thing. I didn't scare him off. He should've been here by now. I'll be right back.",
"(Leo orbs out.)",
"Piper: Better not be with that Whitelighter.",
"Phoebe: Did anyone else have weird dreams last night?",
"Piper: No, you?",
"Phoebe: Yeah, and they were really violent and like painful.",
"Paige: Hey, you wanna go somewhere with me?",
"Phoebe: Where?",
"Paige: I have to go over to Agent Brody's place and, uh, try to snoop around. Find out if he's a demon or not.",
"Phoebe: You think he's a demon?",
"Paige: No, I don't. But Piper does.",
"Piper: I don't know what he is, but more importantly, we need to find out what he wants. We have enough to worry about around here without having to worry about him too. So can you go with Miss Jumpy here and make sure she doesn't orb out in front of him, just in case he is a Fed and nothing else?",
"Paige: I can control myself.",
"Phoebe: I can't go anyway. I have to go to work.",
"Piper: I thought you weren't going back in for a couple of days.",
"Phoebe: I'm not, but that's when Les leaves and I just -- I have this feeling that he's pulling away from me.",
"Paige: Hey, maybe he's pulling away from you because he's, uh, I don't know, leaving.",
"Phoebe: That might be true.",
"Piper: Okay, would you please just be careful around Brody? And we'll talk about Leo moving in when I get back.",
"(Piper leaves the kitchen.)",
"[Scene: Magic School. Four Elders are standing around Danny trying to heal him. Leo orbs in.]",
"Leo: Odin?",
"(Odin walks over to Leo.)",
"Odin: Where have you been?",
"Leo: With the girls. Why, wh-what happened? What's wrong with him?",
"Odin: You don't know?",
"Leo: No, I don't know. Wait, you think I did this?",
"Odin: We don't know what to think, except that he was supposed to report to the Charmed Ones and you didn't want him to.",
"Leo: So that makes me guilty? How do you know a Darklighter didn't do this?",
"Odin: Does that look like a Darklighter did that? You were the last one to see him, Leo. Just like you were the last one to see Zola.",
"Leo: It wasn't me.",
"Odin: No? Then who was it?",

"Phoebe: Hey, could we talk to you for a sec?",
"Piper: What about?",
"Paige: Well, it's about Leo, you know, moving back in.",
"Piper: Is there a problem?",
"Paige: Well, you know we love, love Leo, but, uh...",
"Piper: But?",
"Phoebe: Are you sure this is a good time for this? I mean, like you said, it's really crazy. So much is going on.",
"Paige: Yeah, you know, Zola, the Elders.",
"Phoebe: Agent Brody.",
"Paige: And, um, he does hear voices.",
"Piper: We all hear voices sometimes.",
"(Piper starts walking down the stairs. Phoebe and Paige follow.)",
"Paige: Yeah, we might hear voices, but we don't see little floating heads going along with them.",
"Piper: All the more reason he should be here where he is safe.",
"Phoebe: But what about the boys?",
"Piper: What about them?",
"Phoebe: Well, aren't you afraid they'll be in danger?",
"Piper: From who? Leo? That's ridiculous.",
"Phoebe: No, not from Leo. Whoever's after Leo.",
"Paige: Have you thought it through?",
"Piper: Look, I just want my family back. Isn't that enough?",
"(A bunch of flowers in a vase sitting on a table at the bottom of the stairs blow up. Paige orbs out and orbs back in.)",

"Phoebe: That's a good question. I'll be with Leslie. We'll talk about what we were talking about later.",
"Piper: No, there's nothing else to talk about.",
"(Phoebe leaves.)",
"Paige: You want me to cast a spell and clean up?",
"Piper: No more magic unless we have to.",
"Leo: We might have to. I found out why the Whitelighter didn't show up. He was attacked.",
"Piper: By a Darklighter?",
"Leo: No, by me. At least that's what the Elders think.",
"Piper: Oh, you've gotta be kidding.",
"Leo: I was the last one to see him.",
"Piper: Well, obviously not. Maybe the Elders are setting you up.",
"Leo: Piper.",
"Piper: Well, what? They haven't exactly been your greatest allies lately.",
"Leo: I'm more concerned that it has something to do with you guys. I mean, he was gonna come here and be your Whitelighter, your guide. You know, maybe somebody doesn't want that.",
"Paige: I'll go check the Book of Shadows.",
"Piper: No, I'll do it. You should go find out about Brody. For all we know, he could have something to do with this.",
"(Paige heads for the front door.)",
"Leo: Listen, I'm sorry, getting you into all this.",
"Piper: It's not your fault. Let's go prove it.",
"[Scene: The Bay Mirror. Phoebe's Office. Les is there reading the paper. Phoebe walks in and looks over his shoulder.]",
"Phoebe: Since when do you read horoscopes?",
"Les: Since I decided to make \"Conflicted in Castro\" my last letter. She, uh, doesn't know if she should stay with someone, worries that their signs might not be compatible.",
"Phoebe: I didn't know you believed in that stuff.",
"Les: Well, I don't, but I know you do. I'm just channelling the boss here.",
"Phoebe: Hmm. Let me see. (She takes the paper.) \"Expect the unexpected when the mystical second blue of the year rises over the next three nights, and mars in Aries, romance can flourish.\" Hmm. Sounds promising.",
"Les: Well, for her maybe.",
"Phoebe: What is that supposed to mean?",
"Les: Nothing.",
"Phoebe: Les, something's wrong. I know it is, and I've been feeling it for the last few days.",
"Les: Funny. I've been feeling the same thing from you.",
"Phoebe: Okay, so do you want to talk about it?",
"Les: What is there to talk about? I'm moving away, you're coming back to work and that's it, isn't it?",
"Phoebe: Well, it doesn't have to be.",
"Les: Doesn't it? I mean, what are we gonna do, fly back and forth and see each other?",
"Phoebe: You're only moving to L.A.",
"Les: Yeah, but then after that I'm moving back to Philly.",
"Phoebe: So we'll work something out.",
"Les: We barely see each other here. How are we gonna do it long distance?",

"Phoebe: I can't do dinner tonight. But I can do breakfast tomorrow, and then maybe dinner and then maybe breakfast again.",

"Paige: Thank you.",
"Agent Brody: Not as long as you tell me why you broke into my apartment.",
"Paige: Blackmailing. I knew there'd be something.",
"Agent Brody: Let me guess. You don't believe that I'm really a Federal Agent. You came here to find out if I'm a demon or something, right?",
"Paige: Maybe.",
"Agent Brody: The best way to find out is to test my blood, isn't it?",
"Paige: Funny. For a guy who claims he's not a demon, you sure do know a lot about them.",
"Agent Brody: No, I know a lot about witches. I know a lot about you. So go ahead. Forensics kit's right there. I've got nothing to hide.",
"(Paige picks up a knife and a vial. He holds out his finger.)",
"Paige: May I?",
"Agent Brody: You may. (Paige stabs the tip of his finger and the blood drips into the vial.) If that's o-positive, you owe me.",
"Paige: I don't owe you anything.",
"Agent Brody: I don't have much time, Paige. None of us do. Look, if I'm right, there's a new threat coming, a new power unlike anything that you've ever seen before and you're gonna need my help to stop it.",

"Agent Brody: I don't want to hurt you.",
"(Paige orbs out.)",
"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Piper and Leo are there. Piper is looking through the Book of Shadows. Leo is pacing across the room.]",
"Piper: I give up.",
"Leo: We've gotta be missing something.",
"Piper: The only thing that attacks a Whitelighter is a Darklighter. That's it.",
"Leo: But he wasn't shot with a poisoned arrow. He was mauled.",
"Piper: What do you mean mauled? Like by an animal?",
"Leo: I don't know. Whatever it was, it's gotta be supernatural. Otherwise he would've orbed out. Plus, there's gotta be more than one of them. He was so messed up.",
"Piper: So we'll set a trap.",
"Leo: A trap?",
"Piper: With the crystals. We've done it before.",
"Leo: But what are you gonna use to lure the demons?",
"Piper: A Whitelighter, if that's what they're after.",
"Leo: No way. The Elders would never go for it.",
"Piper: Look, nobody's gonna get hurt. We'll set the trap for whoever or whatever it is before they attack. If we don't find out who's really doing this, they're gonna keep blaming you. This could exonerate you for everything.",

"Phoebe: That ought to do what, burn down the house?",

"Marcus: Wait, you're not ready yet? You're still working on the vanquishing potion?",
"Paige: I'm refining it.",
"Marcus: But you called me down here an hour ago.",
"Paige: Because we don't know when they're gonna attack.",
"Marcus: You mean maul me.",
"Phoebe: Alright, you know what? For a Whitelighter you are really wimpy.",
"Paige: (whispers) That's why they sent him.",
"Marcus: I heard that.",
"Paige: Relax, will you? Please, we're not gonna let anybody hurt you.",
"Phoebe: Hey, where's Leo?",
"Paige: He's at Magic School so he has an alibi for when they attack.",
"Phoebe: And when they do attack, all we have to do is trigger the crystals, right?",
"Paige: Well, theoretically, but that's why we have backup.",
"(Piper walks in.)",
"Piper: Did you test Brody's blood yet?",
"Paige: Yeah, he's not a demon.",
"Piper: Well, that officially makes him tomorrow's problem. How's it going in here?",
"Marcus: The sitting duck is still sitting.",
"Phoebe: Grumpy. Very grumpy.",
"Paige: Yeah, well, remember, it's almost midnight, and that's when things get very exciting around here.",
"Phoebe: Especially with the blue moon rising.",
"Paige: Wait a second. That reminds me. Something I read in the Book about how if there are two blue moons in one year that seems to only happen every fifty years.",

"Piper: Hey, yourself. Look!",
"Paige: Oh, my god. What happened to him?",
"Phoebe: I think we're what happened to him.",
"Paige: What are you talking about?",
"Phoebe: We're in the cage, that's what I'm talking about. I think we trapped ourselves.",
"Piper: No, we didn't, did we?",
"Phoebe: I think that dream I had was real.",
"Paige: So you're saying that we did this to him?",
"Phoebe: Do you have a better explanation?",
"Paige: That is crazy.",
"(Paige tries to step out of the crystal cage and she is knocked back onto the floor.)",
"Phoebe: As you were saying?",
"Paige: Okay. What does this mean? We're demons?",
"Piper: No, we didn't turn into demons, Paige.",
"Phoebe: We turned into monsters.",
"Paige: I know we all get a little testy this time of month, but that's ridiculous.",
"Piper: It can't be that. It's gotta be something else.",
"Phoebe: Like what, the blue moon?",
"Piper: We gotta get out of here. This is crazy. Paige, try to orb one of these crystals away.",
"Paige: Crystal. (A crystal orbs out, through the glass window. A cat meows outside.) Blue moon?",
"(They stand up.)",
"Phoebe: Bright side, the Elders can't blame Leo anymore.",
"Piper: No, now they can blame us. You gotta take him to magic school and find someone to heal him.",
"Paige: How do I explain that?",
"Piper: Well, tell them that we got knocked out, and whatever you do, stay calm and don't turn into anything in front of them.",

"Odin: Did you see what they looked like? Were they demons?",
"Paige: It was night.",
"Odin: We have to find out who did this and vanquish them before they attack us. I'm ordering a lockdown on all Whitelighters until we catch these beasts.",
"Paige: Beasts. That's a harsh word, don't you think?",
"Odin: At least you've been exonerated. I'm, uh, sorry I doubted you.",
"Leo: So am I.",
"Odin: We have a lot of healing to do, Leo, I admit, but forgiveness must prevail if we're to work together. Now, this new power that we're sensing, it is coming closer and it's more threatening.",
"Paige: Okay, new power. What new power?",
"Odin: We don't know exactly, but if it is responsible for this attack, Elders could be next. Help us, Leo.",
"(Odin orbs out.)",

"Paige: About those beasts? That would be us.",
"Leo: What are you talking about?",
"Paige: Those funky powers, the sharp fangs, the claws, we're the ones who've been attacking the Whitelighters. Something is transforming us. It may not be this blue moon thing after all. I have to go.",

"Agent Brody: I just know they're coming. That's why I'm here. I don't know. Everything seems to fit a certain pattern.",
"Paige: Pattern? What pattern?",
"Agent Brody: All I know is that they come from ancient times when they were in power. I'm not sure why, but something happened and then they went away, and now they're trying to come back. They've been trying to come back for some time. And to do that, they need power. And that's the pattern. I mean, they're always after it. It won't be long before they come after yours.",
"Paige: I think they may have already tried.",
"Agent Brody: You can't let them. Paige, you've gotta do everything that you can to stop them, otherwise...",
"Paige: Otherwise what?",
"Agent Brody: They're gonna kill you. Just like they killed my parents. I was, uh, five when it happened. No one knew who did it. That's why I became a cop to find out. I never would've imagined that it would brought me to here, but it has. I am not leaving this city until I prove it.",

"Possessed Leo: What was what?",
"Paige: Okay, uh, I'll get them from the kitchen.",
"(Paige walks out of the attic.)",
"Phoebe: So keep your eye on us after we transform and make sure we don't move any of the crystals.",
"Piper: Oh, no. I don't want Leo here, in case we attack him.",
"(The doorbell rings.)",
"Piper: Who could that be?",
"Phoebe: Oh, I think I know. I'll take care of it.",
"Piper: Well, you better hurry.",
"(Phoebe leaves the attic.)",
"Possessed Leo: Why would you attack me?",
"Piper: Well, technically you're still an Elder, and we feel the same way about Elders as we do Whitelighters, so just to be safe.",
"Possessed Leo: So you view me as a threat.",
"Piper: Probably.",
"(Leo cracks his neck.)",
"[Cut to the foyer. Phoebe opens the door.)",
"Les: Hi.",
"Phoebe: Leslie, hey.",
"Les: Let me guess. Bad time?",
"Phoebe: Actually...",
"Les: Look, I-I-I just wanted to apologise.",
"Phoebe: For what?",
"Les: Well, for the way I acted earlier. I was, I was just so...",
"Phoebe: Yeah, really upset, I know.",
"Les: Well, now who's finishing whose sentences? Look, I just didn't want to leave it like that, that's all.",
"Phoebe: And I don't either, uh, but is it possible that maybe I could call you tomorrow?",
"Les: We're running out of tomorrows.",
"(They hear a loud crash coming from the attic.)",
"Phoebe: Uh, yeah, I know. I'm gonna call you tomorrow. I promise. (She kisses him quickly.) Okay.",
"(She closes the door.)",

"Paige: Television!",
"(The television orbs towards Leo and he orbs out.)",
"Paige: Piper, you okay?",
"Piper: No!",
"Phoebe: Still think Leo's fine?",
"Piper: That wasn't Leo. He was possessed or something.",
"Paige: Again? Well, it seems to happen a whole lot.",
"Phoebe: And if it did happen again, it can't be connected to the blue moon, 'cause it's not up yet.",
"Paige: Maybe it's that whole new power thing. Maybe that's who's setting Leo up.",
"Piper: But why? For what?",
"Paige: Well, if Agent Brody's right, for power.",
"[Cut to the Magic School. Leo and the Elders are throwing electricity bolts at each other. The girls orb in.]",
"Phoebe: Okay, now what?",
"Piper: Throw the potions. (to Leo) Hey! Over here.",
"(He looks at the girls and they each throw a potion at him. Leo falls backwards leaving the possessor demon standing there.)",
"Phoebe: Piper.",
"(Piper tries to blow the possessor demon up but he shimmers out.)",
"Odin: You have betrayed us again!",
"(Odin zaps Leo and he falls to the floor.)",
"Piper: What are you doing?",

"Phoebe: Oh, really? Then how come I'm the one with the headache?",
"Odin: We were forced to defend ourselves.",
"Piper: Where is Leo?",
"Odin: I sent him away.",
"Piper: Away. Where?",
"Odin: It's none of your concern now. You attempted to save him, you failed. That's that.",
"Piper: The hell it is.",
"Odin: He tried to kill two more Elders.",
"Paige: No. He was Possessed. You just didn't see it.",
"Odin: No. What I saw was what I never would've imagined. The Charmed Ones turning into demons.",
"Phoebe: No, that wasn't demonic. That was, you know, that time of the month.",
"Paige: No! It was a Blue Moon.",
"Piper: The point is, we didn't have a choice. We can't control it.",
"Odin: Which is why I'm keeping you here until we figure out what to do with you.",
"Piper: What to do with us? You need to let us go so we can find the real demon is.",
"Odin: Out of the question.",
"Phoebe: Then I guess you won't be finding out about that new power. Only they could've sent the demon after Leo.",
"Paige: You said yourself they may be coming after the Elders next.",
"Odin: But what if you turn back into ...",
"Phoebe: Oh, that was just the Blue Moon. That won't happen for another fifty years or so.",
"Piper: Yeah, and by that time, we'll just be a menace to a rest home, so I think you're safe.",
"Odin: Very well. See what you can find out.",
"Piper: No. Not without Leo first.",
"Odin: He can't be trusted. He wouldn't be vulnerable to possession if...",
"Piper: You can give us Leo now or you can find your own damn connection to the new power.",
"(Odin flicks his hand and Leo orbs in.)",
"Leo: What's going on?",
"Piper: You're about to be exonerated. Again. Book of Shadows.",
"(The girls and Leo orb out.)",
"[Scene: Underworld. Cave. The Possessor demon is there.]",

"Piper: We already have.",
"(He sees Piper, Phoebe and Paige standing near by.)",
"Paige: Who were you talking to?",
"(He tries to shimmer out but Piper freezes him. She then unfreezes his head.)",
"Possessor Demon: What happened? Did you just freeze me?",
"Piper: She asked you a question. Would you rather I blew you up?",
"Possessor Demon: Wait. Don't. If I tell you, they'll kill me.",
"Phoebe: If you don't tell us, we'll kill you.",
"Paige: You may want to pick your poison.",
"Possessor Demon: They're more powerful than anything you've ever seen.",
"Piper: Who is?",
"(The creature head demon flies past the possessor demon, zaps him and then disappears. The possessor demon is vanquished.)",
"Paige: Well, I guess Leo isn't seeing things after all.",
"Phoebe: Can we get out of here now, please?",
"Piper: Whoever you are, stay away from my husband.",
"(They orb out.)",

"Agent Brody: Brody. Paige. Hey. I was getting worried.",
"Paige: Yeah, I know. That's why I wanted to call you to let you know I was okay.",
"Agent Brody: Well, I'm glad you did. So, uh. what happened? This new power wasn't really after you?",
"Paige: No, it was actually after something else.",
"Agent Brody: Oh. I mean, that's good, obviously. I was just hoping to, you know, get a lead out of this. That's all.",
"Paige: If it makes you feel any better, they were after my brother-in-law.",
"Agent Brody: Brother-in-law?",
"Paige: Yeah, well, not directly. They actually used a demon to get to him.",
"Agent Brody: A demon?",
"Paige: Well, he's fine now, though. You know, we dis-Possessed him.",
"Agent Brody: Wait. You did what?",
"Paige: Well, we got rid of the demon. We get possessed all the time. It's no big deal. (She chuckles.) Hello?",
"Agent Brody: Um, yeah, sorry. I guess I'm just a little new at this stuff.",
"Paige: I thought you said you knew about demons.",
"Agent Brody: Uh, no, I said I knew a lot about witches. The rest are just, um, theories. That is until I met you.",
"Paige: Well, be careful what you wish for.",
"Agent Brody: What do you mean?",
"Paige: What you don't know can't hurt you, right?",
"Agent Brody: Well, it's already hurt me. That's why I'm here. I'm glad you're okay, Paige.",
"Paige: Thanks. Bye.",
"Agent Brody: Yeah.",
"[Scene: The Bay Mirror. Phoebe's office. Les is there packing up his stuff. Phoebe walks in.]",

"Les: Hey.",
"Phoebe: Packing up?",
"Les: Yep, packing up. I left all your stuff in the bottom cabinet. I can put it back if you want.",
"Phoebe: No, that's okay. I can do it. What time's your flight?",
"Les: Noon. So you ready to come back?",
"Phoebe: More than you know. Thanks to you.",
"Les: Me? Well, I didn't do anything. I just kept the seat warm for you.",
"Phoebe: You did more than that. And you know it. When I first met you, I was totally lost. That's why I needed to get away from all of this, you know? I couldn't give advice, especially not about love. And I realize that I was just afraid. But I'm not afraid anymore. (They kiss.) Thank you.",
"Les: You're welcome. I guess it just wasn't meant to be, huh? You and me.",

"Leo: Did you vanquish him?",
"Piper: No, uh, but some creature head thing did.",
"Leo: You saw him?",
"Piper: Yeah, we saw it. And I don't think we've seen the last of it.",
"Leo: That's what I'm worried about.",
"Piper: Come on. Let's go home.",
"Leo: I can't.",
"Piper: Well, the Elders said you were free to go.",
"Leo: It's not the Elders I'm worried about, Piper. I'm worried about you. I'm worried about everybody. Look, the Elders were right, this new power was after me because I was vulnerable. You know, vulnerable enough to put my family at risk. Piper, you were almost killed because of me, because of what they did to me. I can't let that happen. I won't.",
"Piper: Leo, I know you've been though a lot. I do, but you fought so hard, and the boys need you. I need you.",
"Leo: It's too dangerous. I have to stay away from you for your own sake. I'm sorry.",

"Kyle convinces Paige to help him solve a mysterious string of accidents, only to discover that the demon Sarpedon is capturing innocents' Guardian Angels and using them to protect himself from the forthcoming threat of the Avatars. Consequently, Paige's Guardian is captured by the demon and she becomes accident prone. Meanwhile, Piper and Phoebe convince Leo to go on a vision quest in an attempt to come to grip with the visions and visitations he has been experiencing. He resists the arguments and blandishments of Avatars Alpha and Gamma, who appear to reason with him during the vision quest. Back at the manor, Sarpedon gets a drop on the sisters and a battle ensues where Piper and Phoebe die. In order to bring Piper and Phoebe back to life, Leo agrees with and becomes an Avatar."

"[Scene: Street. A building is on fire. Fire fighters are hosing down the building. Road blocks have been put up. Phoebe is standing near by. Paige pulls up in her car and gets out.]",
"Phoebe: Paige, there you are.",
"Paige: Anyone gotten hurt?",
"Phoebe: Not as far as I can tell.",
"Paige: Have you seen Agent Brody yet?",
"Phoebe: What are we doing here?",
"Paige: Well, he said for us to meet him here. He needed to talk to us about something important.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but Paige it's a fire.",
"Paige: So?",
"Phoebe: So we don't do fires. Firemen do fires. We do fireballs.",
"Paige: Look, he said it was something connected to this new power thing he's been talking about.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, well, we're not Brody's Angels. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just I'm stressed, it's my first week back at work and I have a lot of catching up to do.",
"(Brody walks up to them.)",
"Brody: Follow me. Keep an eye on the third floor.",
"Phoebe: Wait? Why?",
"Brody: Somebody's trapped inside and if I'm right, he's gonna jump and he's not gonna get hurt.",
"Paige: How do you know?",
"Brody: It's just a hunch.",
"Phoebe: Just a hunch, huh, Agent Brody?",
"Brody: Kyle.",
"Phoebe: Whatever. Look, I don't mean to be rude but we don't really know you and I know you were right about the whole new power thing but I-I... (A man climbs out of the window in the building. There's an explosion inside and he falls. As he falls he grabs onto the fire escape ladder and it slides down to the ground. Two firemen rush over to him.) Whoa.",
"Paige: Okay, how did you know that?",
"Brody: Because that's the forth person it's happened to in the last month. Which means if the pattern holds, he's about to die.",
"Paige: Pattern? What pattern?",
"Phoebe: What?",
"Brody: (in walkie talkie) All right, guys, stay on the survivor. And keep recording.",
"(They see a helicopter hovering above the building.)",
"Phoebe: Guys? Is he talking to that helicopter?",
"Paige: He's really cool.",
"(The man that just climbed out of the window walks down the sidewalk and is about to cross the road.)",
"Brody: Sir, no!",
"(Suddenly, everyone freezes. A man dressed in white appears beside the survivor.)",
"Guardian Angel: Stop. Watch for the... (A demon smokes in.) Who are you?",
"Sarpedon: A thief. (The amulet around the demon's neck glows and sucks in the guardian angel.) Looks like you're on your own.",
"(Sarpedon smokes out and everyone unfreezes.)",

"Phoebe: Okay, you know, can we please call him Agent Brody until we can trust him?",
"Paige: I trust him. (Agent Brody walks over.) Are you okay?",
"Brody: No. I just wish I knew why this keeps happening.",
"Paige: You said something about a pattern, right?",
"Brody: Yeah. Every time something unusual happens, I investigate. The more unusual it is, the more it tends to lead me towards this new power that I was telling you about.",
"Phoebe: Does this new power have a name?",
"Brody: I don't know yet. Do you guys wanna walk?",
"(They start walking down the sidewalk.)",
"Paige: So you think that whole thing is what's killing these innocents?",
"Brody: Well, I don't think they're literally running it down if that's what you're asking. But I do think they're doing something to cause them being killed.",
"Phoebe: Hmm, what kind of something?",
"Brody: I don't know. But whatever it is it's got something to do with taking powers. That's what they're all about.",
"Phoebe: Wait. Powers? Innocents don't have powers. If they did, they wouldn't need us.",
"Brody: All I know is things this unusual don't normally happen like this. Over and over. Something's going on here.",
"Phoebe: Another hunch?",
"Brody: Don't knock them, Phoebe. My hunches led me to you. Look, I can guarantee this is not going to be the last person that miraculously escaped a fire only to die moments later. If you guys want to help me figure this one out, you know where to find me.",

"Aku: How dare you summon me.",
"Sarpedon: You said to call if I ever wanted to challenge you.",
"Aku: You think you are ready to challenge me? The last time you tried it I spared your life. This time I may not be so merciful.",

"Aku: You've come far, quickly.",
"(Aku scratches Sarpedon on the arm.)",
"Sarpedon: Not far enough. I need more.",
"Aku: More what?",
"Sarpedon: More guardians. I steal the ones who help save their humans that they can help me instead.",
"Aku: All this just to defeat me?",
"Sarpedon: No, so that I can protect myself from the great threat you told us was coming.",
"Bald Demon: Nothing can protect you from that. Unless you go into hiding until...",
"Demon: I won't hide. If demons don't stand up to them who will? I just need more.",

"Phoebe: Piper, are you even listening me?",
"Piper: Yeah, yeah. Brody, fires, hunches. I got my own problems. Are you sure Enola graduated already?",
"Phoebe: Yeah, I'm positive. Why?",
"Piper: Because she might be the only one who can save Leo.",
"Phoebe: What are you talking about?",
"Piper: Well, she helped you see your future with the vision quest, right? Gave you something to look forward to, life after demons. That's what Leo needs.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but there's no guarantees that Leo would see that. I mean, a vision quest can take you anywhere and sometimes can even be dangerous.",
"Piper: Couldn't be any more dangerous than what he's going through right now. With that stupid new power still after him.",
"Phoebe: A vision quest still won't change that.",
"Piper: No, but it may show him a way to fight them. He's alone and he's scared and he's forgotten who he is. I'm afraid if I can't help him now my children are gonna lose their father.",
"Phoebe: Still risky.",
"Piper: Yeah, but it's a risk I'm willing to take. (Phoebe picks up some ingredients.) What are you doing?",
"Phoebe: I'm making the vision quest potion. She showed me how to do it.",
"Piper: What about Brody?",
"Phoebe: Paige can take care of Brody. I think she likes taking care of Brody if you know what I'm talking about. Besides, this is family.",
"[Scene: Agent Brody's Apartment. Agent Brody is at the computer viewing camera footage of the survivor stepping off the sidewalk. He adds an EM filter to the footage and two shadows show up, a light and a dark. There's a knock at the door.]",

"Paige: You're quite the liar.",
"Brody: Sorry. Didn't realise it was you. Actually, I'm surprised you even showed up.",
"Paige: Really? Why would that be?",

"Paige: Should she?",
"Brody: Yeah, I think she should. I think I've proven myself. I've saved you from getting exposed more than once.",
"Paige: By the way, where is Inspector Sheridan?",
"Brody: Does it really matter?",
"Paige: Uh, it does if you hurt her.",
"Brody: I'm not here to hurt anybody, Paige. I'm here to keep them from getting hurt, remember?",
"Paige: The fact that you know that people may die is exactly what makes you so suspicious, Agent Brody.",
"Brody: Kyle.",
"(Paige looks at the computer.)",
"Paige: What is that?",
"Brody: That is a birds eye view of the victim just before he stepped off the curb. Now we shot this with the fastest digital imaging equipment known to man. Or at least Homeland Security, anyway. Now if you look at it in normal light it appears as though he's alone. I throw an EM filter on it, he's not.",
"Paige: What are those?",
"Brody: If I had to guess I'd say the light one's a protector of some kind.",
"Paige: Protector of what? Like some kind of guardian angel thing?",
"Brody: Mm-hm. That's one way to put it. What, you don't believe in them?",
"Paige: You do?",
"Brody: With all the scrapes that I've slipped out of, it's the only reason I think why I'm still alive. My guess is that's the power the dark figure wants. People have, especially strong protectors. That explains why someone would miraculously survive something and in the next moment, don't. (Paige looks at him and smiles.) What?",
"Paige: Nothing. So, uh, how do we find out if that dark figure is what you think it is?",

"Paige: Guess I never knew how much my guardian angel actually helped me. Even with the little stuff.",
"Brody: Yeah, don't worry, we'll find her.",
"Paige: I hope. You know, maybe it'd help if you looked at the book with me.",
"(He walks over to the book and flips a page.)",
"Brody: Feel better?",
"Paige: What do you mean?",
"Brody: I assume the book won't let anything evil touch it. Most magical tomes don't. What do I have to do to prove I'm not a threat to you?",
"Paige: Look, I'm sorry, I am. I can't seem to trust myself right now, let alone anybody else.",
"Brody: Well, guardians did more than keep you upright. They're your inner voice, your conscience, instincts. Without them you tend to get a little lost.",
"Paige: You really do believe in them, don't you?",
"Brody: Yeah, I'm a believer, all right. Hunting the new power for years has made me realise that there are some awful things in this world. (He turns the pages in the book.) I just like to think there are some good things too to balance it out. Like you.",
"Paige: You found it. \"Celerity Demons. Celerity demons are powerful beings who can move at the speed of light and feed off lesser demons.\"",
"Brody: Yeah, but guardian angels are hardly lesser demons.",
"Paige: Well, whether they are or they aren't, he's able to steal them. The question is why?",
"[Scene: Underworld. Cave. Sarpedon stabs Aku with his spiked glove.]",
"Aku: Well done.",
"Sarpedon: Witches have powerful guardians. Especially a Charmed One's.",
"Aku: How can you be sure that she was a Charmed One?",
"Sarpedon: It's the only explanation. It's the most powerful one I possess.",
"Aku: Still, it will not be enough when the Avatars come.",
"Sarpedon: Perhaps not. Unless I get the other two. After all, legend holds that the sisters are magically connected. Stands to reason that the guardian should be as well.",
"Aku: How will you get them?",
"Sarpedon: I'll just listen to the one I've got. She'll whisper to me when the others need their guardians the most. When they're the most vulnerable. You taught me well, Aku.",
"(Aku stands up.)",
"Aku: I hope well enough.",
"(Sarpedon throws an energy ball at Aku and vanquishes him.)",
"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Piper is sitting beside Leo. Phoebe is placing crystals around them.]",
"Piper: Why isn't he saying anything? Do you think he's all right?",
"Phoebe: Yes, I think he's doing exactly what he needs to be doing. Sure you don't want to help me out here?",
"Piper: No, I'm fine right here.",
"Phoebe: Sweetie, you said it yourself. This is something that he needs to do.",
"Piper: Yeah, well, I can have second thoughts, can't I? I mean, what if something happens to him?",
"Phoebe: Well, hopefully his guardian angels are taking care of him.",
"Piper: I don't think angels have angels, Phoebe. It's redundant. You just protect ours so we can protect him.",
"[Leo's vision.]",
"Leo: So I don't understand. If I'm in the past, what are you doing here?",
"Chris: I'm guiding you.",
"Leo: So you're real?",
"Chris: No. But I represent something that is. I died in your arms, dad. Killed by everything you thought was good. I'm your root pain, okay. And I'm gonna be sticking with you until you're ready to let me go.",
"Leo: How will I know when that is?",
"Chris: Come on. Let's check out some parts of your life that you really need to remember.",
"Leo: Do I have a choice?",
"Chris: Hey, it's your vision quest. It's up to you. Come on.",
"(In a flash they are standing in the ghostly plane in the episode \"The Courtship of Wyatt's Father\".)",
"Leo: Where are we now?",
"(He looks over to see himself and Piper. His other self strokes Piper's face and says \"I never stopped loving you\". His other self and Piper kiss.)",
"Chris: That feeling's what it's all about, dad. You died fighting evil in the war, then you were reborn as a Whitelighter to fight evil again. That led you to mum, love, to all that's good. (They flash to the scene in \"The Day The Magic Died\" after Piper gives birth to Wyatt\".) To the day Wyatt was born. (The flash to \"It's A Bad, Bad, Bad, World Pt 2\" after Chris was born.) To the day when I was born. Do you understand now? All the pain, all the sacrifices, it's all been for good. That's what you're all about, dad. That's what you've always been about. That's what the future's about too. You just need to believe in that again. Go. Your family's waiting for you.",
"[Cut to the attic. Leo wakes up.]",
"Leo: Piper.",
"Piper: Hey. How you feeling?",
"Leo: Good. (The creature head appears and floats towards Leo.) Wait.",
"(Piper and Phoebe look around but don't see the creature head.)",
"Piper: What? What is it? (The creature head enters Leo's body. Leo falls back asleep.) Leo? Leo? Leo, wake up. Leo. Wake up.",
"[Leo's vision: Leo wakes up in a white area covered in mist. There are headstones surrounding him. Alpha appears.]",
"Leo: Who are you? What do you want?",
"Alpha: I want you to see the truth, Leo. I want you to see the real future.",
"(In front of Leo is a headstone reading \"Halliwell: Penny, Patty, Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Wyatt, Chris\".)",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Piper and Phoebe are sitting beside Leo.]",
"Piper: We've gotta do something.",
"Phoebe: There's nothing we can do. He's back in the quest. Only he can get himself out of it.",
"Piper: But he was just out. I think something made him go back in, something he saw.",
"Phoebe: I don't think anything can get past the crystals.",
"Piper: What about the new power?",
"Phoebe: I didn't see any floating heads.",
"Piper: Doesn't mean they weren't there.",
"Leo: Why are you doing this?",
"[Leo's vision.]",
"Leo: Why are you doing this to me? I wanna get out of here.",
"Alpha: You can't leave yet, Leo. You're not ready. You haven't seen what you need to see.",
"Leo: Why are you haunting me?",
"Alpha: Haunting? (He chuckles.) No. The creature heads were a necessary part of guiding you to the truth. To the truth that lies beyond good and evil. To us.",
"Leo: Us?",
"Alpha: Avatars. We are a power. One that offers a better way, a solution to this. You see, Leo, the future Chris failed to mention the death of all the people that you love. Sometimes peaceful, sometimes painful, but always inevitable. And all well before their time.",
"Leo: Death is apart of life.",
"Alpha: Natural death, yes. But not death caused by the pointless, endless battles between good and evil.",
"Leo: It's not pointless, it's necessary. And when good wins...",
"Alpha: Wins? Duality is self perpetuating. It feeds only on itself. That's why the battle has been raging since the dawn of time. There is no winner.",
"Leo: There can be.",
"Alpha: How? With good there is always evil, so the battle never ends. Not until there is nothing left. That is the future your fight is leading to. Not good, nor evil, only nothing.",
"(Alpha waves his hand and they are surrounded by black.)",
"Leo: No!",
"[Cut to the attic.]",
"Piper: Leo, who are you talking to?",
"Phoebe: He can't hear you.",
"Piper: Well, he's hearing someone. (Sarpedon smokes in.) Leo, Leo.",
"(Sarpedon dives for them but he hits the crystal cage and it sends him flying across the room.)",
"[Cut to the kitchen. Paige and Brody hear a crash upstairs.]",
"Brody: What was that?",
"Paige: Stay here.",
"Brody: Why?",
"Paige: Just stay.",
"(Paige orbs out. Brody pulls out his gun.)",
"[Cut to the attic. Sarpedon gets back up.]",
"Phoebe: Guess your guardians didn't tell you about that.",
"Sarpedon: That's why I want yours. So these kinds of things don't happen again.",
"(Paige orbs in. She goes to throw a potion but trips over.)",
"Paige: Damn it.",
"Phoebe: Paige, quick, in here.",
"(Paige throws the potion but the celerity demon deflects it. She orbs out and orbs back in in the crystal cage.)",
"Sarpedon: You're getting to be a pain. You can't hide in there forever.",
"(Agent Brody walks in.)",
"Brody: Paige? What the hell?",
"(He shoots at Sarpedon and he knocks it out of Agent Brody's hand. He grabs Agent Brody by the neck.)",
"Paige: Leave him alone!",
"Sarpedon: No, there's too much at stake. Besides, I could use the leverage.",
"(He smokes out with Agent Brody.)",
"Paige: Oh, no.",
"[Cut to the underworld. Cave. Sarpedon punches Agent Brody and he falls to the ground.]",
"Sarpedon: You're not a witch. What are you?",
"Brody: I'm a Federal Agent.",
"(Sarpedon laughs.)",
"Sarpedon: A what? And you know about all this? Magic? Demons?",
"Brody: I'm getting a quick education.",
"Sarpedon: It won't do you much good. I only need you long enough for the witches to attempt the rescue. And since they're obviously otherwise occupied and I'm a guardian, they won't all come at once. Someone will be left behind and that's when I'll attack.",
"Brody: I'm just curious. What do you want with all these guardians? If you don't mind me asking.",
"Sarpedon: I don't want them. I need them.",
"Brody: Worried about the new power, are we?",
"Sarpedon: You know about the Avatars?",
"Brody: Avatars? So that's what they're called?",
"(Sarpedon grabs Agent Brody around the neck.)",
"Sarpedon: Yes, that's what they're called. And I for one won't be cast aside by them when the time comes for them to take power. Which is why I need more guardians. Which is the only reason I'm keeping you alive.",
"(He throws Agent Brody across the cave.)",
"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Paige is scrying.]",
"Phoebe: So what are you gonna do if you find him?",
"Paige: What do you mean what am I gonna do? I am gonna save him. We are going to save him.",
"Phoebe: But it's a trap. The demon said so himself. He just took him for leverage.",
"Paige: So we're just gonna let him get killed?",
"Phoebe: He's not gonna kill him, okay? He needs him alive.",
"Paige: Yeah, but for how long? Piper, help me out.",
"Piper: I'm with Phoebe here. Sarpedon is really powerful and he's got all those guardians.",
"Paige: Yeah, including mine.",
"Phoebe: And that's why you're not thinking straight. Paige, we can't go after him. It's ridiculous.",
"Paige: Yeah, well, I'm not just gonna let him rot either. (The crystal points to a place on the map.) I'll go get him myself.",
"(Paige orbs out.)",
"[Cut to the underworld. Cave. Paige orbs in. She looks around.]",
"Paige: Kyle? Kyle? Kyle? Kyle.",
"(Kyle is tied to the cave roof, barely conscious.)",
"[Cut to the manor. Attic.]",
"Phoebe: Okay, so now that we know where they are, all we have to do is mix up a new vanquishing potion and get Paige's spell.",
"Piper: Yeah, but that would mean we would have to go to the book which is in the kitchen, which entails us going downstairs, away from the crystals, which means the demon could slice and dice us.",
"Phoebe: True, but for all we know, the demon could already have Paige.",
"Piper: Us getting killed doesn't change that. Besides, I can't leave Leo.",
"Phoebe: Okay, I know this is really hard for you, Piper, but there's nothing that we can do to help Leo. He's gotta fight this fight on his own. But we can help Paige.",
"Piper: All right, let's just make it fast.",
"Phoebe: Okay. Remember, if the demon attacks, grab the amulet.",
"Piper: Oh, sure, yeah, no problem. (Piper and Phoebe walk down the stairs and head for the kitchen. Sarpedon smokes in behind Phoebe.) Phoebe!",
"(Phoebe turns around and Sarpedon stabs her in the stomach with his spiked glove. She falls to the floor. He turns to Piper.)",
"Sarpedon: Next.",
"Phoebe: Hey. Where's your amulet?",
"(Phoebe holds up his amulet then falls unconscious.)",
"Piper: No. (Sarpedon stabs Piper and she blows him up. His spiked glove is left sticking out of her stomach. She falls to the floor.) Leo.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Leo's vision. Leo and Alpha are still surrounded by darkness.]",
"Leo: What do you mean this is the end? The end of what?",
"Alpha: The end of the battle. Between good and evil. Its outcome. Mutual destruction and the eternal void that necessarily follows.",
"Leo: How is this possible?",
"Alpha: I'm afraid it's unavoidable. A flawed design. There is however, another way. A better way. That is what we represent, Leo. But we'll need your help to implement and the Charmed Ones, of course, when they're ready.",
"Leo: What way is that?",
"Alpha: Utopia. A world where good and evil no longer exist. Where the battle is behind you, behind everyone. A world where you and Piper no longer have to suffer through the obstacles that have kept you apart.",
"Leo: What's the catch?",
"Alpha: Only the courage to change. Unless it's already too late.",
"[Cut to the manor. Attic. Alpha is there. Leo wakes up.]",
"Leo: Piper.",
"Alpha: She's not here, Leo. I'm afraid there isn't much time.",
"Leo: Piper? Piper! (Leo runs downstairs and Alpha follows. Leo finds Piper and Phoebe dead on the floor.) Why did you do this?",
"Alpha: We didn't do this, Leo. Evil did. It might not be too late though to reverse it, if you join us.",
"Leo: You can save them?",
"Alpha: We can save everyone, Leo. With your help. (Leo nods.) So be it. (Alpha holds out his hands and a glowing light hits Leo. Leo glows for a couple of seconds.) Welcome to the fold.",
"Leo: What do I do next?",
"Alpha: Heal them.",
"Leo: I can't heal them, they're dead.",
"Alpha: You're an Avatar now, Leo. You have all you need. You have the powers.",
"(Alpha disappears. Leo holds out his arms and a beam of light flows out of his hands and hits Piper and Phoebe. Paige orbs in with Agent Brody.)",
"Paige: Leo?",
"(The beams of light vanish and Piper and Phoebe wake up.)",
"Leo: Piper.",
"Piper: You're back. (Leo helps her up. Paige goes over to Phoebe.) I thought I was...",
"Phoebe: Dead?",
"(Paige notices the amulet in Phoebe's hand.)",
"Paige: Where did you get that?",
"Phoebe: From the demon I guess.",
"Brody: So that's it? It's over?",
"Piper: Is it?",
"Paige: I've never seen you heal anyone like that, Leo.",
"Piper: Did something happen to you?",
"Leo: What do you mean?",
"Piper: In the vision quest, you seemed like you were in pain.",
"Leo: Yeah, well, something I had to go through, I guess, to see the truth.",
"[Scene: P3. The Donnas are playing on stage. Piper and Phoebe are sitting on the couches near by.]",
"Piper: Thanks for getting Rex to do that sound check. They sounded great.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, actually, I forgot to do that. What? I was very busy trying to save your husband.",
"Piper: All right, down girl, easy, don't worry about it.",
"Phoebe: I guess I get a little testy when someone kills me, you know.",
"Piper: Oh, come on, we weren't killed, we were just maimed. Leo can't heal the dead.",
"(Paige walks up to them.)",
"Paige: Hey, ladies. Sorry I'm late. Oh, you guys look great for being recently deceased.",
"Piper: We weren't dead. Ah, forget it.",
"(A waitress with a tray full of drinks walks over to them.)",
"Paige: Hey.",
"(The waitress almost drops the tray and Paige quickly catches the drinks before they fall.)",
"Waitress: Sorry. God, I'm sorry, my bad.",
"(The waitress walks away.)",
"Piper: I see you got your angel back.",
"Paige: Thank god. No pun intended.",
"Phoebe: What about Agent Brody?",
"Paige: Who?",
"Phoebe: All right, Kyle. You know, just because we almost got him killed, doesn't mean we have to trust him.",
"Piper: Oh, come on, now. Enough of this already. Everything turned out fine like it always does. Well, almost always does.",
"Paige: Except for the Avatars. Kyle said that that's what the demon called the new power.",
"Phoebe: Doesn't ring any bells. (Leo walks up to them.) Well, well, well, look at you. Welcome back.",
"Leo: Thank you. It's good to be back, believe me.",
"Piper: No voices, floating heads, guilt trips?",
"Leo: No, nothing.",
"Paige: Ever hear of the avatars?",
"Leo: Avatars? Why?",
"Paige: Just they could be the big bad everyone's worried about.",
"Leo: I will look into it. But first, a toast to being back together, new beginnings.",
"Piper: I will drink to that.",
"(They clink their drinks together.)"

"When a murder occurs at Magic School, Paige and Agent Brody get sucked into an unfinished gangster novel during their investigation. However, their only hope for getting back into the real world is to find the author of the story and get the story finished. As the pair work on their adventure in the pages of the book, Piper, Leo, and Phoebe work on trying to finish the story themselves to bring Paige and Brody back to the present before they're killed by the story's criminal element."

"[Scene: Magic School. Paige, Miss Donovan and a gnome are there. Miss Donovan and the gnome are going through some books.]",
"Miss Donovan: Lord of the Rings?",
"Gnome: Historically inaccurate.",
"Miss Donovan: Harry Potter?",
"Gnome: Filled with juvenile delinquents.",
"Miss Donovan: Even the Wizard of Oz?",
"Gnome: Disparaging to little people. Munchkins being persecuted. Filth!",
"Paige: Oh, come on, seriously.",
"Miss Donovan: It is the same story with all the books. None of them deserve to be banned.",
"Gnome: I suppose you want another naked Godiva riding out of the book again.",
"Paige: Is that what this is all about? Godiva?",
"Miss Donovan: It's just an excuse and he knows it. He's using it to push his own agenda which is to stifle freedom of speech.",
"(The gnome shakes his hand and Miss Donovan's mouth seals up.)",
"Gnome: Now that's what I call stifling.",
"Paige: That is uncalled for. You give her her mouth back now.",
"(He waves his hand and unseals her mouth.)",
"Miss Donovan: Why you little worm. I should...",
"Gnome: Little. Did you hear that? She's a size-ist.",
"Miss Donovan: What? I didn't...",
"Paige: Okay, Miss Donovan, would you please just give us a moment, okay?",
"(Miss Donovan sighs and leaves the room.)",
"Gnome: It's always the ones you least expect.",
"Paige: Professor, please, you have to understand she is a librarian. Books are her life. In fact, I don't think she's wrong. None of these books are dangerous. (Paige picks up a book.) Crossed, Double-Crossed? This doesn't even look magical.",
"Gnome: Just look at the cover. It's filled with violence, I'm sure.",
"Paige: You haven't even read that?",
"Gnome: Didn't waste my time. It's garbage.",
"Paige: Are you kidding me? The 30's were a fabulous era, okay? Drama, passion, intrigue.",
"(Leo walks in.)",
"Leo: Uh, excuse me, Paige, sorry. Can I talk to you for a minute?",
"Paige: Just a minute. Professor, the next time you attempt to ban books, how about you attempt reading some.",
"(Paige leaves the room with Leo. The gnome picks up the Crossed Double-Crossed book and opens it up. The book glows and sucks the gnome inside. The book drops to the floor.)",
"[Cut to Paige's Office. Paige and Leo walk in.]",
"Paige: Thank you for saving me from that little gnome. I was about to strangle him.",
"Leo: You're welcome. How'd you like to return the favour by, say, babysitting tonight?",
"Paige: Um, no. That's all I do here, Leo. I baby-sit. I baby-sit students, I baby-sit teachers, I baby-sit.",
"Leo: Come on, Paige, please? It's the only way Piper will go out with me if I can get somebody to watch the kids.",
"Paige: You asked Piper out and she said yes?",
"Leo: Well, I haven't actually asked her out yet. She's been a little unapproachable lately.",
"Paige: Maybe it's because you've kind of done this miraculous turn around. Maybe you should just ease into things a little.",
"Leo: Well, that's why the date. Phoebe's been helping me plan it out. She's given me some tips. Come on, please.",

"Paige: Miss Donovan, are you sure you didn't hear anything, see anything?",
"Miss Donovan: No, and I came in and he was lying there, dead.",
"Paige: Okay, what is so strange about this, is that Magic School is meant to be protected. Nobody can get killed here, let alone with bullets.",
"Miss Donovan: Well, well, it did happen before. Once.",
"Paige: What? What happened?",
"Miss Donovan: Well, about 20 years ago, there was two students, brothers. One of them killed the other. Maybe it's him?",
"(Phoebe walks in.)",
"Phoebe: Okay, let's make this fast. I got a city of lonely people and I'm playing cupid. Oh, Miss Donovan, why are you crying?",
"Paige: It's one of our teachers. He...",
"Phoebe: Oh, did he break your heart? Well, you called the right person. I can handle this.",
"Paige: No...",
"Phoebe: Shh. Cupid works alone. Now, did he hurt you? I know, I know, it hurts but you can't give up on love. It could be the biggest mistake you ever make. Now, I could fix you up with one of my readers because I'm doing this series in my newspaper where I'm playing matchmaker. And I actually have one in mind for you.",
"Paige: Wait. He didn't break her heart he was murdered.",
"Phoebe: Oh. Why didn't you tell me that?",
"Paige: I tried to but cupid shushed me. Miss Donovan, until we figure out what is going on here and who did this, nobody can leave the school.",
"Miss Donovan: I didn't kill him.",
"Paige: Then I'm sure you don't mind staying until we figure out who did. Crystals, circle. (Three crystals orb off the side table and orb onto the floor around Miss Donovan to create a shield.) Let's go talk in the other room.",
"Phoebe: Okay. (Phoebe and Paige walk out of the room.) So what do you think, Nancy Drew? Lovers quarrel?",
"Paige: Hardly. She hated him. Everybody did. That means the entire school is a suspect.",
"(They walk into the great hall.)",
"Phoebe: Wait, a gnome was shot? That seems awfully human, doesn't it?",
"Paige: Yeah. I'd say we are definitely out of our league. We don't do bullets. We need to call the police.",
"Phoebe: Did you try Darryl?",
"Paige: I tried, he hung up on me again. Look, the way he feels about magic he's not coming here anytime soon.",
"Phoebe: So I guess we're on our own.",
"Paige: We could try Kyle.",
"Phoebe: What, Brody? You wanna tell Brody about the Magic School now?",
"Paige: There isn't gonna be a Magic School if the Elders find out there was a murder on my watch. So we need to solve this fast.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but Brody?",
"Paige: Kyle.",
"Phoebe: Okay, look, I'm sorry, I really am, and I tried, I did. But I don't trust him, therefore I'm gonna continue calling him Brody and you can call him Kyle because you have a crush on him.",
"Paige: I do not have a crush on him. My interest is strictly professional.",
"Phoebe: Right.",
"Paige: Listen, I am the head mistress of this school, okay, so I decide and I trust him, I need him to do the CSI part of this. Can you please get Piper, check the book and you do the magical part.",

"Piper: Leo, what if somebody saw this?",
"Leo: I sensed. There's nobody here. (He walks over to her.) Nobody except the most beautiful woman in the world.",
"Piper: Have you been on top of the bridge again lately? Because I'm telling you, there's not enough oxygen up there.",
"Leo: It's not that. I'm just starting to see things more clearly now. And the thing I see most clear is you. I want us to start over again.",
"Piper: Uh, like right now? As in today?",
"Leo: Why wait? I'm not asking for much, just have dinner with me tonight.",
"Piper: Um, I can't. Who's gonna watch the kids?",
"Leo: Paige. And don't worry about the club, Rex said he can handle it.",
"Piper: You talked to my manager before you talked to me?",
"Leo: Well, I wanted your mind to be at ease.",
"Piper: Yeah, that's not really working.",
"Leo: Don't you want to be with me again?",
"Piper: No, of course I do, it's just...",
"Leo: It's just what?",
"Piper: It's just different, you know. I've spent months trying to keep you from falling into this psychotic abyss and now that you're fine, I can't just flick a switch and be all lovey-dovey. I doesn't work that way. (The phone rings and Piper answers it.) Hello? Yeah, okay, I'm on my way. What? They're beautiful, Phoebe, now stay out of it.",
"(She hangs up.)",
"Leo: She's just trying to help.",
"Piper: Yeah, I know. Look, Leo, I appreciate the gesture, I do, and I'm not saying no, I'm just saying I need some time.",
"Leo: I understand.",
"(Piper leaves. Alpha and Beta, a female Avatar, appear.)",
"Alpha: The roses are lovely.",
"Beta: But you could do so much more with our collective powers.",
"Leo: What's the point if I don't get Piper back?",
"Alpha: I thought we had shown you the point, Leo. A world beyond good and evil. A world without conflict.",
"Leo: Without Piper.",

"Paige: Did you find anything new about them?",
"Brody: No, not really. Just, you know, pieces. Not enough to figure out how to find them or what they want.",
"Paige: Um, when was the last time you got out of here?",
"Brody: A couple of days.",
"Paige: Well, how about coming out with me and getting some nice fresh air.",
"Brody: No, thanks. I really think I should, um...",
"Paige: I think that you should come with me and focus on something equally mysterious.",

"Paige: Like a murder mystery. We could really use your help.",

"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Phoebe is there flipping through the Book of Shadows. Piper walks in.]",

"Piper: I was talking about the gnome, not the husband.",
"Phoebe: Oh, right, of course. Um, well, according to the book, they don't have any natural enemies but as a species they tend to piss people off.",
"Piper: But you said he was shot. Who would shoot a gnome? And why is the G silent?",
"Phoebe: That's a really good question. I think the fact that he was shot in Magic School is what worries Paige the most.",
"Piper: I don't blame her. The boys aren't still there, are they?",
"Phoebe: No, she brought them back, they're taking they're naps.",
"Piper: I'm just getting really tired of this.",
"Phoebe: Don't worry, we'll figure out who killed him.",
"Piper: No, not the gnome, the husband.",
"Phoebe: Oh, I can't keep up. He's just trying to reconnect with you, you know that, right?",
"Piper: No, I know, I do, and I would like to do that as well, just, I don't know, I can't help but think...",
"Phoebe: Your guard's up.",
"Piper: Yeah, and...",
"Phoebe: You wanna lower it, you just can't.",

"Phoebe: Oh, yeah, sure, go ahead.",
"Piper: I don't know what to do. I mean, he's been great, he's been really great and he's totally changed but I can't help but feel that something's just not right. It's too good to be true. But then I can't just shut up and be happy, right?",

"Miss Donovan: Well, it's about time.",
"Paige: Sorry, sorry we took so long.",
"Miss Donovan: Who's this?",
"Brody: Uh, Agent Brody. Homeland Security.",
"(He holds out his hand to shake hers and touches the crystal cage. It zaps him and he flies backwards.)",
"Paige: Ooh. Sorry, forgot to warn you about that. (He groans.) You okay?",
"Brody: No, I'm not. (He stands up.) So what is she? A demon, warlock or what?",
"Miss Donovan: No. I'm a librarian.",
"Paige: And a suspect unless you say otherwise. (Paige picks up a crystal.) All clear.",
"(Brody picks up a book and holds it out towards Miss Donovan.)",
"Brody: Yeah. Just checking. All right. (He opens a suitcase and puts on some rubber gloves.) If you could hold out your hands for me, please.",
"Miss Donovan: Why? What are you gonna do?",
"Brody: Well, if you fired a gun recently, this'll show the residue.",
"(She holds out her hands.)",
"Miss Donovan: I'm telling you it had to be the Mullen boy.",
"Paige: Who?",
"Miss Donovan: Eddie Mullen. I remember his name now. The kid who shot his brother 20 years ago here.",
"Paige: Okay, but how and why would this person come back?",
"Miss Donovan: I don't know.",
"Brody: Well, she's... she's clean. She couldn't have done it.",
"Miss Donovan: Thank you.",
"Paige: Sorry about that. Can you do me a huge favour and find out everything you can about the Mullen brothers. And keep it quiet because I really don't want the Elders to find out.",
"Miss Donovan: Very well.",
"Paige: Thanks.",
"(Miss Donovan leaves the room.)",
"Brody: Where's the body? (They walk into the great hall.) Whoa. All these books on magic?",
"Paige: Yes, they are.",
"Brody: Any of them on the Avatars?",
"Paige: I don't know but I'll let you look at all of them if you help me out with this.",
"(They stand in front of the gnome.)",
"Brody: Oh. What is he?",
"Paige: He is a gnome. And one of my teachers.",
"Brody: Gnome. Great. Now I suppose you're gonna tell me leprechauns and fairies exist now too?",
"Paige: Well, actually, yeah.",
"Brody: Never mind. I can only take so much at a time. (He kneels down beside the gnome.) Well, the body was moved, he wasn't shot here.",
"Paige: How do you know?",
"Brody: There's no blood spatter on the floor. (He picks the book off the floor.) \"Crossed, Double-Crossed\". (He stands next to Paige.) By the Mullen... the Mullen brothers.",
"Paige: Mullen brothers? (Brody flips through the book and turns to a chapter.) It's not finished.",
"Brody: \"The streets were quiet after Shorty died. Too quiet.\"",

"(A car horn honks and heads straight for them. Brody grabs Paige and pulls her to the sidewalk.)",
"Paige: Oh, god, I think we got sucked into the book just like the gnome.",
"Brody: Sucked into the book?",
"Paige: Oh, yeah, don't worry, magical things happen to us all the time but this is the first time in black and white.",
"Brody: We're not black and... How are we in black and white? Paige, what the hell is going on here?",
"(Two men in suits walk up to them.)",
"Man #1: Well, well, what do we have here? A couple of new couples.",
"Brody: Oh, man, you gotta be kidding me.",
"Man #1: Pals of Shorty's?",
"Paige: The gnome. Let me handle this. Yeah, maybe we are. What's it to you?",
"Man #1: Don't get wise with me, Legs. You're here for the same reason Shorty was. Looking for the falcon, ain't ya? But it belongs to Johnny.",
"Brody: Hey, look, guys, I think you've got us confused with somebody else.",
"Man #1: I don't think so.",
"(He pulls out his gun. Brody pulls out his gun and shoots at the two men.)",

"Brody: It may be a fiction world but those bullets seemed pretty damn real to me.",
"Paige: Yeah, well, that's precisely why we need to blend in before those goons come to get us again. (She reaches out and grabs a dress. She looks at Brody.) Are you peaking?",
"Brody: No. Are you? (She pulls a face.) Have we any chance of getting out of here like the gnome did, only alive?",
"Paige: I don't know, I think the book expelled him after he was killed. The same thing must've happened to the Mullen boy.",
"Brody: Wait a minute, I thought he was killed by his brother.",
"Paige: Well, I think everybody thought that because they disappeared at the same exact time. Maybe he's still here.",
"Brody: Well, we gotta find him then. If he wrote the thing, he's gotta know how to get out of here, right?",
"Paige: Although, if he does know, why wouldn't he have left? I mean, it's been 20 years.",
"Brody: I don't know. I don't know. I mean, if we find him, maybe he can, uh, you know... (Paige walks out from behind the changing screen wearing a dress.) We can, uh... wow. You look great.",
"Paige: Thank you. Do I look like Lana Turner.",
"Brody: Right out of \"The Postman Always Rings Twice\". The good version. You know, um, you may not blend in very well in that outfit there, Lana.",
"Paige: Well, I'm thinking as long as we're down here we might as well have some fun.",
"(He looks through a phonebook.)",
"Brody: Yeah, well, you have fun, I'm just gonna survive. Here it is, Mullen. (They hear sirens outside.) You think they're coming after us?",
"Paige: I don't think we should stick around and find out.",
"Brody: Come on, out the window. Let's go. (They go to the window.) I got it.",
"(He opens the window and they climb out. Man #1 kicks open the door.)",
"Man #1: Go around back, try and pinch them. You think they're after the falcon?",

"Miss Donovan: Well, she let me out after her cop friend exonerated me.",
"Piper: Darryl?",
"Phoebe: Brody.",

"Miss Donovan: He wanted to see the body. That's why they came this way. That's odd.",
"Phoebe: What's odd?",

"Piper: What? What did you see?",
"Phoebe: I saw Paige on the best seller list. She's in this book. They both are.",
"Piper: Well, what do you mean? Open it up, get them out.",
"Phoebe: No, I can't. What if it sucks us in there too? Oh, god, we need Leo.",
"Piper: Leo?",
"Phoebe: Look, Piper, I know you need time but I don't think we have it. At least Leo will be able to sense them to make sure they're okay.",
"Piper: All right, all right.",
"Phoebe: Okay. Uh, but we should do this at home in case we need the Book of Shadows to get them out. (to Miss Donovan) Can you watch Wyatt and Chris?",
"Miss Donovan: Oh, sure, of course. Oh, but take these. (She hands them a file.) They're the Mullen brothers' school records. It might help.",
"Piper: The Mullen brothers? Who are they?",

"Paige: They're dicks.",
"(Brody chuckles.)",
"Brody: Dicks.",
"Paige: No, like private eyes, detectives. Don't you see? They wrote themselves in as the heroes of their own book. Like Sam Spade or Phillip Marlow.",
"(They walk into the office. Johnny and Eddie are there.)",
"Paige: Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.",
"Johnny: The newcomers? Eddie, I thought you said you didn't know 'em.",

"Eddie: You got a problem with that?",
"Paige: No, we were just expecting somebody older.",
"Johnny: You like older, toots? Take a gander my way.",
"Brody: Hey, why don't you gander somewhere else, buddy. Who are you?",
"Johnny: My name's Johnny. Johnny the Gent. I think you made the acquaintance of a few of my boys.",
"Brody: Johnny, right. Yeah, I think they dropped your name in between Tommy gun blasts.",
"Johnny: Simple misunderstanding. Everyone's on edge on account of the falcon.",
"Paige: The falcon as in the Maltese falcon?",
"Eddie: Nah, everyone knows the Maltese was a fake. This one's the real deal. The Burmese falcon.",
"Brody: Burmese, you can't be serious. It's a total rip off.",
"Johnny: Rip off or no, I figure that's why you're here. You don't happen to know where it is, would ya?",
"Paige: Maybe we do but that's between us and Eddie. We have business to discuss. Alone.",
"Eddie: Thanks, I got enough business.",
"Paige: No, please, you're the only one who can help us. See, we came from your school. We just can't seem to find our way back.",
"Johnny: Be polite, Eddie. Here 'em out. Besides, it might be lucrative. (Johnny heads for the door.) I'll be in touch.",
"(Johnny leaves.)",
"Eddie: In all the books, in all the libraries, in all the world, you gotta get sucked into this one?",

"Brody: You don't seem too happy to see us.",
"Eddie: Well, should I be?",
"(Eddie picks up a cigarette.)",
"Paige: What are you doing? Don't you know those things'll kill you?",
"Eddie: If the smokes don't get me, the bullets will.",
"Paige: Just like they got your brother?",
"Brody: Look, what happened, Eddie? Who killed him?",
"Eddie: It was a couple of corrupt cops. They were trying to stop him from getting the falcon before they did.",
"Paige: Falcon? What is it with this falcon? Why does everyone want it so badly?",
"Eddie: Because we wrote them that way, that's why. It's their whole motivation.",
"Paige: Very impressive. Quite a magical world you boys have concocted here. Must have been very advanced students.",
"Eddie: Dan was the creative one. It was his idea, I was just along for the ride. It was supposed to be fun.",
"Brody: So why haven't you left yet?",
"Eddie: I can't. The only way out is to end the story. Can't do that until the falcon's found.",
"Paige: You don't know where it is?",
"Eddie: No. Dan and I laid down the fundamentals at the beginning. The story's got a life of its own now.",
"Brody: So what have you been doing for the last 20 years? Sitting on your ass?",
"Eddie: 20 years? No, Dan just died yesterday.",
"Paige: No, not on the outside he didn't. You guys have created some sort of different time in here, one where no one ages, apparently.",
"Eddie: No, they just get killed. Thanks to me.",
"Brody: This is ridiculous, all right? Look kid...",
"(The phone rings. Eddie answers it.)",
"Eddie: This is Eddie, hold the line, please. (to Paige and Brody) If you don't mind.",
"Paige: Yeah, no problem.",
"(Paige and Brody leave the room.)",
"Eddie: Hi, go ahead, Johnny. No, they don't know anything about the falcon but I think they're gonna be trouble anyways.",
"[Cut to outside the room.]",
"Brody: I'm telling you. He knows more than he's letting on. He's hiding something.",
"Paige: Yeah, he's hiding pain. Real pain. I don't think that's supposed to be part of the story.",
"Brody: So what if he feels guilty? Doesn't mean he didn't kill his brother. We could be next.",
"Paige: Look, I know an innocent, okay? I think the only way to get out of this is to figure out who to help him first.",
"(Eddie comes out of the room.)",
"Eddie: Good news. That was an anonymous source, gave me a lead on the falcon.",
"Brody: Oh, well, that's great, that's great. So what, you just happened to get this tip just now?",
"Eddie: Well, you guys coming here must have triggered the story to move forward. If we find the falcon, we can get out. Isn't that what you want?",
"Paige: Yeah, of course, isn't that what you want?",
"Eddie: Yeah, sure. Um, I'll go get my car.",
"(Eddie leaves.)",
"Brody: I hope you know what you're doing. (Paige sense something.) What, what is it?",

"Leo: I guess I'm just a little more focused now.",
"(Piper and Phoebe look at the open book. Sentences are appearing on the page.)",
"Piper: What is it doing?",
"Phoebe: It looks like it's writing itself as if it were unfolding right now.",
"(They look at the illustration.)",
"Piper: Is that Paige and Brody?",
"Leo: Who's driving?",
"Phoebe: Eddie Mullen I think. Listen. \"Riding in Eddie's car, Lana and the Fed...\"",

"Eddie: No. It's too cliché.",

"Brody: Whoa, whoa. Where you going?",
"Eddie: What? It's just up around the corner, we can get there on foot.",

"Phoebe: Nope, this one's not working either.",
"Piper: Try this one.",
"(Piper hands her another pen.)",
"Leo: The pens are fine. The book's just not letting you write them out.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but why not?",
"Piper: Well, maybe it's against the rules. I don't know, the book is writing itself, maybe they have to save themselves.",
"Phoebe: Then why was I able to write in the flat tyre?",
"Piper: It's just another plot twist which we could add but we can't bail them out. Heroes have to be heroes. I read a lot.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, I know you do. Maybe you should get out a little more.",
"Piper: Easy, cupid.",
"Leo: Maybe you ought to focus on the book. Maybe there's something in the prose that can help them.",
"Phoebe: In the prose. Yes, let me check the prose, Leo. Actually, there's something in chapter ten. He says the only way out is to find the falcon. So all we have to do is find the falcon?",
"Piper: Yeah, before the book spits out two more corpses. Okay, let's go talk to the parents and see if they know anything about the book. You be creative and just keep Paige and Brody alive.",

"Paige: Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Maybe I'm just crazy. Crazy for cops. Tough cops. Kind of cops that'll arrest your heart. Make you long for a life sentence with them. (She pulls him towards her by his tie.) No any cops like that?",
"[Cut to the other room. Johnny hits Brody with the baton. Brody falls to the floor.]",
"Johnny: We can keep this up all night if you like. But if you can tell me where the falcon is and I'll end it but quick.",

"Brody: Is that supposed to be a choice?",
"Johnny: Yeah. Either you die fast or you beg for death. But either way I'm getting a falcon out of you first.",

"Paige: Kyle. (Brody trips Johnny and grabs his gun.) You all right?",
"Brody: I'll live. How'd you get in here?",
"Paige: Well, I seduced a cop, grabbed his gun and knocked him out all thanks to Phoebe.",
"Brody: Phoebe?",

"Leo: Yes.",
"Mrs. Mullen: Well, you don't think Eddie?",
"Piper: No, of course not.",
"Mrs. Mullen: Well, good, because he didn't kill his brother either. No matter what anybody says. He'd never do that, he loved Danny.",
"Piper: You haven't heard from Eddie...",
"Mrs. Mullen: In over 20 years, no. But believe it or not, his father and I still have hopes that, um, someday, somehow he'll come back to us. Sometimes it's the only thing that keeps us from falling apart. Crazy, huh? Do you have any children?",
"Leo: Yeah, we have two boys too.",
"Mrs. Mullen: Oh. Well, you treasure every moment together.",
"Piper: Um, we were just wondering, did the boys ever mention writing a book together?",
"Mrs. Mullen: What does that have to do with anything?",
"Piper: Uh, we're not sure yet. Do you know anything about the book?",
"Mrs. Mullen: Well, not much. He never let us see anything. Yeah, but I know it was Dan's idea. Yeah, I know he wanted to help Eddie with it.",
"Leo: Help him out?",
"Mrs. Mullen: To believe in himself, to feel confident.",
"Piper: To be a hero?",
"Mrs. Mullen: Yes, probably.",
"Piper: (to Leo) Then he has to finish the story. Which means we need to help Paige help him.",
"[Scene: Inside the book. Paige and Brody are walking down an alley.]",
"Paige: This is ridiculous. I don't know why we're going to get Eddie. He's beyond hope.",
"Brody: But didn't you hear him apologise when he turned us in? Criminals don't say they're sorry.",
"Paige: Yeah, and innocents don't try to get you killed.",
"Brody: Hey, Paige. I know that kid, I was that kid. Look, after my parents died, I fell in with the wrong crowd too. I was scared, lost, I thought I was to blame for what happened.",
"Paige: I felt that way too but I didn't try to hurt anybody.",
"Brody: I did. Relatives, social workers, cops. I'd do anything to push them away all because I didn't think I was worthy of being helped. Maybe Eddie feels the same way.",
"Paige: Maybe but I think he crossed the line.",
"Brody: Not necessarily. See, I think Johnny the Gent got him to set us up. He's playing Eddie. But what Eddie doesn't know is that Johnny is the one that killed his brother.",
"Paige: I thought the cops killed him.",
"Brody: No, it's classic noir. That's just a red herring. If the cops did it, they would've beaten Eddie until he told them where the falcon was but they're still looking for it.",
"Paige: So the gangsters killed Dan?",
"Brody: Who else would it be?",
"Paige: Then maybe we need to end the story by calling the gangsters. All right, let's go, then back this way.",
"Brody: Well, hold on, what about Eddie?",
"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Piper, Phoebe and Leo are there.]",
"Piper: Eddie's the hero of the story so he must know where the falcon is.",
"Leo: But he blames himself for what happened to his brother. Paige has to get him to see it's not his fault.",
"Piper: So he has the confidence to finish the story.",
"Phoebe: You guys are a great team.",
"Piper: Match make later, save sister now. You need to get Paige to Eddie.",
"Phoebe: I can't, she's going after the gangsters.",
"Leo: What? She's gonna get herself killed.",
"Phoebe: Well, Kyle is trying to stop her but she won't listen to him. Wait, when did I take his side?",
"Piper: Probably around the time you started to call him Kyle.",
"Leo: Try and block her path.",
"[Cut to inside the book. Paige and Brody are walking down the alley. A piano falls in front of them.]",
"Brody: You were saying?",
"Paige: Thanks, guys, could you be any less subtle?",
"Brody: Looks like your sisters agree with me.",
"Paige: Don't gloat. Let's go get Eddie.",
"[Cut to Eddie's Office. Johnny is there. Paige and Brody walk in.]",

"(Johnny points a gun at them.)",
"Johnny: Sorry to disappoint you. (Brody pulls out a gun.) Drop it.",

"Johnny: I sent him out to look for the two of you. I heard you got away from the cops. Too bad you're not gonna get away from me.",
"(He shoots Brody.)",

"(Eddie walks in.)",
"Eddie: What's going on here?",
"Johnny: Eddie, I didn't expect you so soon. They came looking to get even for you setting them up.",
"Paige: That's not true. He killed my friend in cold blood, just like he killed your brother.",
"Eddie: What? What are you talking about?",
"Johnny: Don't listen to her, Eddie. You know the cops killed your brother, you know that.",
"Paige: That's not true. You didn't see it, did you, Eddie? It's just a story that Johnny's been telling you. Don't you see, he's been playing you. He tried to force Dan into giving him the falcon but he wouldn't give it up. So now he's trying to charm you out of it.",
"Johnny: That's it. (He points the gun at Paige.) Say goodnight, Gracie. (He pulls the trigger but there are no bullets in the gun.) What the hell?",
"Paige: Thank you. I could use a flashback right now.",
"[Cut to the manor. Attic. Piper, Phoebe and Leo are there.]",
"Phoebe: Flashback. She wants a flashback.",
"Leo: Why?",
"Phoebe: To prove Johnny killed Eddie's brother.",
"Piper: But we don't know that, we can't make it up, the book won't let us.",
"Phoebe: It will if it's true. \"Then Eddie found out how Dan really died. It was as if it was happening all over again.\"",

"(Johnny punches him and throws him to the floor.)",
"Johnny: Never mind. I'll get it from your brother one way or the other. (He shoots Dan.) Sucker.",
"Johnny: You're not gonna believe that, are you, kid? It's some kind of smoking mirrors trick. It's a pictures show.",
"Brody: Paige, save your innocent.",
"Paige: Eddie, you have to stop punishing yourself. This is not your fault. Your brother would not want you to live this way as if you were in some kind of prison. He would want you to grow up, to live your life, to become part of the real world.",
"(They hear sirens.)",
"Johnny: Cops. (He grabs Paige.) That's it. You give me the falcon now or I will break her neck.",
"Paige: Don't, it's your only way out.",
"Johnny: I'll do it.",
"Eddie: All right. Don't hurt her, I'll give it to you.",
"Johnny: It better not be a trick, kid.",
"Eddie: It's not. I should have done this a long time ago.",
"(Eddie walks over to a painting and removes it from the wall. Behind it is a safe. Eddie opens the safe and pulls out a bird statue.)",
"Johnny: Where did you find it?",
"Eddie: It doesn't matter. All that matters is no one else dies because of it. Let her go.",
"Johnny: Give it to me. Come on, come on, I gotta go.",
"Paige: You can't. This isn't the way the story is supposed to end.",
"Eddie: Trust me, it is.",

"Leo reveals to Piper that he is an Avatar, despite the warnings from Alpha and Beta that Piper should find out in her own time. A huge disaster ensues as Leo tells Piper just as she is adding touchy ingredients to a potion cauldron, which then blows up. Leo inadvertently rewinds time, and Alpha and Beta appear at that moment and freeze subjective time. In a frozen interval he is taken to task by Alpha and Beta and once again they attempt to dissuade him from revealing he is become an avatar to Piper. He stubbornly maintains Piper will be able to handle it. All three sisters have some trouble with the news leading to Phoebe and Paige calling on Kyle for help, but his reaction to the news causes disastrous results. The Avatars take Leo to task but allow time to be rewound to before Leo tells Piper."

"Piper: Yeah. Nothing a little sleep can't fix.",
"Leo: Here, let me heal that.",
"Piper: No.",
"Leo: Come on.",
"Piper: I said no.",
"Leo: Piper, this is ridiculous. We have to talk about this.",
"Piper: Actually, what we need to do is find where the next demon attack is gonna be. And I think I just did. A pentagram, naturally.",
"Leo: What do you want from me? What do I have to do to prove that I've changed, that I'm okay?",
"(Piper walks towards the door.)",
"Piper: Did Phoebe and Paige finish making the dye?",
"Leo: You didn't answer my question.",
"Piper: Oh, I have to answer your questions, but you don't have to answer mine?",
"Leo: What question?",
"Piper: The same question I've been asking you for several days now. What aren't you telling me?",
"Leo: I don't know what you're talking about.",
"Piper: Oh, right. Excuse me. (Piper leaves the attic. Leo follows. They walk down the stairs.) I can't get into this right now with you, okay? I've got an invisible demon killing innocents and for all we know they could be working with the Avatars.",
"Leo: They're not working with the Avatars.",
"Piper: Oh, yeah? How do you know?",
"Leo: I don't. I mean, I just, I don't think they're the threat everyone thinks they are.",
"(Phoebe and Paige walk out of the kitchen.)",
"Phoebe: Why?",
"Leo: Because if they're so powerful, wouldn't they have attacked by now?",
"Piper: Oh, sending a demon to possess you doesn't count?",
"Leo: Still, I think that was their way of communicating with me, with us.",
"Paige: Why didn't they just try calling you, Leo?",
"Phoebe: Are you hiding something?",
"Leo: No.",
"Piper: Yes. (to Phoebe and Paige) Are you sure those are gonna work?",
"Paige: Yeah. As sure as I can be at 5am.",
"Leo: Before you go...",
"Phoebe: Do you know where the demon's gonna attack?",
"Piper: They're making a pentagram and there's only one point left, so we need to get there before sunrise.",
"Leo: Piper, you can't walk out on this.",
"Piper: You're right. We should orb. 16th and Mission.",
"Paige: Got it.",
"(Paige orbs Piper and Phoebe out.)",
"Leo: Damn it. I said no!",

"Alpha: Our powers are not meant to be used for personal reasons, Leo. You know that.",
"Leo: I know. I didn't mean to, it just happened.",
"Alpha: Yes, because you wanted it to happen.",
"Beta: You must be more careful in the future, learn to control your emotions.",
"Alpha: Control is the first discipline of an Avatar. Otherwise, our powers can become dangerous to others as well as to ourselves.",
"Leo: What do you mean?",
"Beta: Reversing time the way you did requires great power. It drains the Collective and it puts us at risk.",
"Alpha: And we must remain at full strength if we are to defeat the forces of evil, if we are to implement the change.",
"Leo: I get that but Piper's my wife. She knows something's up. I can't keep lying to her.",
"Alpha: We understand your position, Leo.",
"Beta: But to tell her outright might cause her to overreact and mistakenly view us as a threat.",
"Alpha: As might her sisters as well.",
"Beta: They must come to the truth in their own time and in their own way, just as you did.",
"Leo: What if they don't? What if Piper never sees the future you promised?",
"Alpha: You must help her to see it, Leo. You must gently guide her to it.",
"Beta: This is the burden that you took upon becoming an Avatar.",
"Leo: I'm not just an Avatar. I'm a husband and I'm a father, and I joined you to get that back.",
"Alpha: And you will get it back, Leo. You will once we have ended this perpetual battle between good and evil, once we have brought forth a better way.",

"Phoebe: Okay, it's almost dawn and nothing's happening. Can we go home and go to sleep now?",
"Piper: Shh. Just stay focused.",
"Paige: Right, focused.",
"Phoebe: Maybe you drew the pentagram wrong.",
"Piper: I know how to draw a pentagram, thank you.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but did you use a felt marker? 'Cause maybe the thickness of the tip led us astray a couple of blocks, huh?",
"Piper: We are not going home. What's the matter with you guys? Do you wanna save an innocent or not?",
"Paige: Of course we do. It's just, uh...",
"Piper: What? It's just what? Now you're not telling me something?",
"Paige: Leo's what.",
"Piper: What?",
"Phoebe: We just think that you may have been so eager to avoid Leo that you miscalculated the demon attack.",
"Paige: What she said.",
"Piper: All right, fine. I admit it. I may be avoiding Leo but that does not mean I am wrong about this.",
"Paige: Why? Why are you so upset with him? He's been an Angel lately.",
"Piper: Yeah, well, that's the problem. He's been too perfect, even for him, and I just keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.",
"Phoebe: Why don't you just talk to him about it?",
"Piper: I have, about a dozen times and he just thinks I'm crazy or something, which is why I am channelling my frustration into something useful.",
"Paige: I just want this demon to attack soon, so I can make my breakfast date with Kyle.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, see, breakfast is not a date. Dinner's a date, lunch is definitely maybe a date. Breakfast? Always just breakfast.",
"Paige: As long as he doesn't talk about the Avatars, it can be breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and I will consider it a date. (Phoebe's phone rings.) Who is calling you at this hour?",
"(Phoebe looks at the caller ID and ignores the call.)",
"Phoebe: No one.",
"Piper: Avoiding someone?",
"(A car pulls up near by and a man gets out.)",
"Paige: Is that our innocent?",
"Piper: We're about to find out. Get the dye. They have to become visible to attack. Let's go.",

"Paige: Energy ball!",
"(The energy ball is deflected back at the demon, vanquishing him.)",
"Phoebe: Heads up, guys.",
"(Another one of the demons throws an energy ball at them. Phoebe grabs a piece of pipe and hits the energy ball back to the demon, vanquishing him. Piper tries to blow up the third demon and he disappears.)",

"Paige: He's still alive.",
"Piper: Okay, let's get him to magic school, and we'll find out who they are.",
"Phoebe: And make more potions.",
"(Paige orbs out with the man.)",
"[Scene: Underworld. Cave. Demons are there.]",
"Malvoc: The innocent has been marked and territory staked. Soon, every mortal within the pentagram will be ours alone to prey upon.",
"Vassen: But the innocent lives. Our rivals...",
"Malvoc: Can no more easily kill than we can, now that the Charmed Ones are protecting him.",
"Vassen: Then how is the territory staked? As long as he lives, the Sokols could still try to claim it for themselves.",
"Malvoc: And we want them to try or, at least, make it look like they did. Witches don't know who we are, right?",
"Vassen: Right.",
"Malvoc: So we'll put them on our rivals' trail by making them think the Sokols attacked them.",
"[Scene: Cafe. Paige and Brody are there having breakfast.]",
"Paige: So, this place is great.",
"Brody: Yeah? You sure? I mean, you like the place?",
"Paige: Well, I've never had breakfast here but I'm sure it's terrific. Yeah.",
"Brody: I guess I should've asked you out to dinner, huh?",
"Paige: It's fine. I'm up this early anyway.",
"Brody: Well, you know, I figured since we got the first kiss out of the way and everything.",
"Paige: Out of the way?",
"Brody: Sorry. I didn't mean that. I did not mean that. I-I just, you know, I'm rusty.",
"Paige: All Avatars all the time?",
"Brody: Yeah, something like that. It's just that I've been chasing them for so long, you know? It hasn't left much time for a social life.",
"Paige: Well, um, maybe it's time you start changing that, don't you think?",
"Brody: Yes, I think. It's just that they're so close, Paige. I mean, I know it, you know? I can feel it.",
"Paige: Ah! You promised.",
"Brody: You're right. You're right. That's it. No more Avatar talk, I swear. (His phone rings and he stops it.) Hm?",
"Paige: Good. That's a good start. (He smiles.) What?",
"Brody: It's, uh, it's vibrating. It just tickles a little, that's all. (He turns the phone off.) It's off. I promise. No more distractions. (Another phone rings.) That's my emergency line. I gotta take this. Sorry. (He answers it.) What? All right, as soon as you get those numbers, you call me, all right? (He hangs up.) Intel just detected another unusual power spike in the area. Paige, this could mean some serious Avatar activity. Don't you know what this means?",
"Paige: Yeah, yeah, I do. It means that you eat alone. I'm sorry.",
"(Paige leaves.)",
"Brody: Paige, come on. I... (to himself) Idiot!",
"[Scene: Manor. Kitchen. Piper is there making a potion. Phoebe walks in.]",
"Phoebe: You know, the good thing about getting up so early is how much you could get done. I mean, already today, I've made demon dye. I've saved an innocent. I e-mailed in my column, plucked my eyebrows. If it wasn't for sleep deprivation, I would be okay.",
"Piper: What about the demons?",
"Phoebe: Yeah, I couldn't find anything in the book to help identify them. But I did get to read up on the family history. Did you know that Beatrice Warren only had one leg? What is this? You making spaghetti sauce?",
"Piper: No. That's, uh, demon blood. I got it from the salvage yard. I was gonna use it to scry for them after I make the vanquishing potion.",
"Phoebe: Wow, jacklebeet. So, exactly which state are you trying to blow off the map?",
"Piper: I don't wanna take any chances.",
"Phoebe: We need two kitchens.",
"Piper: Do you know where the beetle toe is?",
"Phoebe: I think it's up in the attic. Boy, when you're avoiding something, you really do a number, don't you?",
"Piper: I seem to remember someone doing some avoiding a little while back.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, if you're talking about Leslie, you're absolutely right. But my big sister gave me some advice that I'm gonna give back to you. Stop dodging. Just talk to Leo.",
"Piper: On the subject of dodging, who called this morning? Yeah. See, your \"I'm covering something\" look hasn't worked since the sixth grade, so spill.",
"Phoebe: Okay, but you can't tell Paige, because I don't want her to get all paranoid.",
"Piper: Why would she get all paranoid?",
"Phoebe: Darryl actually thinks Brody had something to do with Sheridan's disappearance. Yeah. That's why I'm keeping it low-key. Darryl's on his way over. We're gonna talk about it while Paige is on her date.",
"Piper: Oh, he's talking to us again?",
"Phoebe: Kinda. Baby steps.",
"(Leo orbs in.)",
"Leo: Hi.",
"Piper: Hi. I'll be in the attic.",

"Phoebe: Well, go talk to her, would you? Hurry up. Go.",
"Leo: Right.",

"[Cut to the foyer. Phoebe opens the door.]",
"Darryl: Hey.",
"Phoebe: Hey.",
"Darryl: Is this a good time to talk?",
"Phoebe: Uh, actually, yeah. Paige is out on a date. What did you find out?",
"Darryl: Nothing.",
"Phoebe: Nothing. Okay, well, nothing is good, right?",
"Darryl: No. I mean, I can't find anything. It's like Sheridan's disappeared off the face of the earth.",
"Phoebe: What are you saying?",
"Darryl: I think that maybe Brody did something to make Sheridan disappear. Something bad, maybe.",
"Phoebe: No. I don't believe that.",
"Darryl: That's because you don't want to believe that. Brody may have saved your butts, I get that, but if he did something to hurt Sheridan, wrong is wrong.",
"Phoebe: Okay. Well, maybe I can get a premonition and see where she is.",
"Darryl: No. No magic. I told you. I've done some soul-searching. I wanna help again, but I don't wanna go there anymore.",
"Phoebe: Darryl, you gotta get over this. I mean, really, one bad experience with magic can't outweigh six years of good, can it?",
"(Paige walks in.)",
"Paige: Hey.",
"Darryl: Hey. Hey, Paige.",
"Paige: Hey, Darryl.",
"Phoebe: Uh, I thought you were on your date.",
"Paige: Yeah. So did I.",
"Darryl: Look, um, tell Piper I said hello, okay? Take care.",
"Phoebe: Take care.",
"(Darryl leaves.)",
"Paige: We're friends again?",
"Phoebe: Yeah. Weird. Bygones.",
"[Cut to the attic. Piper is making the potion.]",
"Piper: Leo, please, this is not the time or place.",
"Leo: I just want my family back, Piper. I just want you back.",
"Piper: I don't wanna talk about this right now.",
"Leo: Why not?",
"Piper: Because this is a little dicey here, okay?",
"Leo: I know that and that's why we need to talk.",
"Piper: No, not that, this. If I make one mistake, I can blow up the entire house, okay? So, this is a bad time.",
"Leo: I just wish you'd trust me.",
"Piper: Yeah, well, maybe you should try telling me the truth.",
"Leo: This is so frustrating.",
"(Piper suddenly freezes. The Avatars appear.)",
"Alpha: This can't keep happening, Leo. We've had this conversation.",
"Leo: I can't help it. I can't keep doing this.",
"Beta: You must keep up pretences. There's no other way.",
"Leo: There is another way. I could tell her the truth.",
"Beta: Leo, you don't understand.",
"Leo: I know Piper. She doesn't wanna live like this any more than I do. She hates hunting demons all the time. She wants nothing but the best for herself, for her family, for all of us. She can handle the truth. I know she can.",
"Alpha: But if she can't, if she's not open to our way, it would risk everything we hope to achieve, everything we covet.",
"Beta: And cause her to lose perspective in the process, ignore what shouldn't be ignored.",
"Alpha: Which would put her at risk as well. There's too much at stake, Leo.",
"Leo: She can handle it.",
"Alpha: He needs to see for himself.",
"Beta: But what of the risk?",
"Alpha: It's no greater than that of him, tapping into the collective without intending to.",
"Beta: Very well, but if anything goes wrong, everything may be lost. Our powers are not inexhaustible.",
"(The Avatars disappear. Piper unfreezes.)",
"Piper: What is the matter?",
"Leo: I, uh, I need to tell you something.",
"Piper: I'm listening.",
"Leo: Well, the reason I know the demons aren't working with the Avatars is because I'm an Avatar.",
"Piper: What? Oh, my god.",
"(Piper drops the bottle of beetletoe into the pot and it explodes, sending her flying across the room.)",
"Leo: Piper?",
"(He rushes over to her.)",
"Piper: No! You stay away from me.",

"Phoebe: What happened?",
"Leo: Let me help.",
"Piper: Don't.",
"Leo: Piper, please.",
"Paige: Can someone please just tell us what happened?",
"Piper: The potion blew up, and, uh, Leo's an Avatar.",
"Phoebe: What?",
"Paige: What?",
"Piper: Oh, you know, the gathering storm, looming threat, that would be Leo.",
"Leo: We're not a threat. We're trying to save the world from itself.",
"Phoebe: Wait, did he just say we? I think he just said we.",
"Leo: You know, you wanted the truth, and I told you. They said you had to come to it on your own. I said you could handle it.",
"Piper: Handle what, that you're what everybody is afraid of, even the Elders?",
"Leo: They're afraid because they don't understand. They can't understand. The Avatars are beyond Good and Evil. They're everything we've been searching for, a life without demons.",
"Paige: Okay, he's cracked.",
"Phoebe: Absolutely.",
"Leo: No. I have never been more clear about anything in my life. Piper, I beg you not to be closed to this. It's everything we've been searching for, everything we wanted, I promise.",
"Piper: I think you need to take the boys to Magic School.",
"Leo: But...",
"Piper: Please. I need time to think about all of this.",
"Paige: Are you sure you can trust him?",
"Piper: I can trust my husband with our children. Now, please, go.",
"(Leo leaves.)",
"Phoebe: Do you think he's telling the truth?",
"Piper: It would be a really stupid lie if he wasn't, don't you think? Sorry.",
"Phoebe: It's okay.",
"Paige: What are you gonna do?",
"Piper: I don't know, but we have a demon to vanquish first and an innocent to protect, so...",
"Paige: Yeah, but...",
"Piper: Look, just remake the potion for me, and I'll go get cleaned up, and be careful of the beetletoe.",
"(Piper leaves.)",
"Paige: Okay, we have bigger things to worry about than potions.",
"Phoebe: I agree. We have to save Leo.",
"Paige: Yeah, we're gonna have to ask for Kyle's help.",
"[Scene: Underworld. Cave. Malvoc and Vassen stab two Sokol Demons in the back. They remove their arm bands and are vanquished.]",
"Vassen: Now what?",
"Malvoc: Put them on.",
"(They put on the arm bands.)",
"Vassen: Why?",
"Malvoc: Because we're going to attack the Charmed Ones next.",
"Vassen: Malvoc, that's suicide.",
"Malvoc: Only if we die, but I only plan to fight long enough for them to identify us as Sokols. Then our enemies becomes their enemies.",
"Vassen: Fine. They'll vanquish them, but others will still come to challenge us for the territory.",
"Malvoc: They won't be able to after we kill the innocent. Those ancient rules are etched in brimstone. And after they vanquish our rivals, they'll think the threat to the innocent has passed and then return him. We'll need more of these.",
"[Scene: Magic School. Leo is there. A female Elder orbs in.]",
"Female Elder: Something's happened, Leo.",
"Leo: Look, I don't have time for this. I have to get back to Pi...",
"Female Elder: We've detected a power surge, a time shift. That could only mean one thing. The Avatars are making their move.",
"Leo: How do you know it's them?",
"Female Elder: Because no demon has this kind of power, not since the Source.",
"Leo: So, what do you want from me?",
"Female Elder: We want you to alert The Charmed Ones. We expect that the Avatars will be coming after them first. What is it?",
"Leo: Nothing. I just don't know how much we know about them, that's all.",
"Female Elder: We know they're a threat.",
"Leo: Why, because they have power?",
"Female Elder: Yes. The kind of power that in the wrong hands could be a danger to us all.",
"Leo: Okay, so, are we a threat?",
"Female Elder: I'm sorry.",
"Leo: Elders. I mean, we have a great power, but we're only a threat to demons.",
"Female Elder: And your point is?",
"Leo: My point is is that we don't know enough about them to fear them. How do we know they're not a benevolent power I mean, who are we to judge them before even meeting them?",
"Female Elder: If they were benevolent, they wouldn't lurk, insidiously waiting to make their move. They would show themselves. This is no time to lose your faith in all that we're about, Leo, despite all that's happened in the past. We need you on our side.",
"(She orbs out.)",
"[Scene: Manor. Piper walks into the dining room. Leo orbs in.]",

"Piper: And the innocent?",
"Leo: Sleeping, still under the effects of the potions. How are you?",
"Piper: How am I?",
"Leo: I mean, with all this.",
"Piper: I don't know. I have questions.",
"Leo: Well, you can ask me. I can answer them now.",
"Piper: What are they exactly? Or should I say, what are you exactly?",
"Leo: I'm the same man you married, Piper, someone who wants nothing but the best for his family.",
"Piper: And the Avatars are gonna give us that how?",
"Leo: By using their powers, our powers, to change what has always been, to remake what is.",
"Piper: That sounds like a load of crap.",
"Leo: I know it does, but it's not.",
"Piper: You know, for all we know, they're exactly like everything else we've been fighting.",
"Leo: They wanna end everything we've been fighting against, put an end to the struggle once and for all.",
"Piper: That's impossible.",
"Leo: I know. I used to think it was, too, but now I know it's not. They wanna make the world better for everybody.",
"Piper: And those floating heads that tormented you, they made your life better?",
"Leo: That was just a way to get my attention, make me open to a new idea.",
"Piper: Leo...",
"Leo: Piper, think about it. A demon-free world? It's everything we always dreamed about. Don't you think we should at least consider that after everything we've been through?",
"(Three demons suddenly appear. One throws an energy ball and Leo dodges it. The second throws another one and Leo dives onto Piper, pushing her out of the way. Leo gets up and throws electricity at one, vanquishing him. The second demon throws another energy ball and it hits Piper on the arm. Leo throws electricity at them and vanquishes the third demon. The arm band slides along the floor towards the second demon. He looks up to see Vassen standing behind a wall out of sight.)",
"Piper: It's just a graze. (Leo walks up to the demon and shoots electricity at him, vanquishing him. Vassen disappears. Leo walks back over to Piper and heals her wound.) They really want that innocent. I just wish I knew why.",
"Leo: There'll be more of them.",
"Piper: Yeah, well, at least we have a way to find them now.",
"Leo: I don't mean just them, Piper. I mean demons. And they'll just keep coming back, over and over, just like they always have, unless we let the Avatars stop it forever.",

"Brody: Look, it's not gonna happen again, all right? I promise.",
"Paige: It's not that. Leo's an Avatar. He told us this morning.",
"Brody: What? How?",
"Paige: We don't know. He didn't say. He just kind of dropped a bomb on us this morning. We don't know exactly what it means. (Kyle walks over to a closet.) Where are you going?",
"(Phoebe walks in.)",
"Phoebe: Parking sucks in this city. How's he taking it? (Phoebe's phone rings. She answers it.) Hello? Yeah.",
"Darryl: It's Darryl. I'm stumped. Maybe you could use a little hocus-pocus to find out what Brody did with Sheridan.",

"Brody: You don't understand. He's an Avatar now.",
"Paige: No, he's actually our brother-in-law.",
"Phoebe: How can you be so sure the potion's even gonna work?",
"Brody: Because they killed my parents over it, that's why.",
"Paige: One potion. That's all you have. You cannot get even with them all.",
"Brody: Oh, the hell I can't. Their powers are all tied together. You kill one of them, it weakens them all. They become vulnerable.",
"Paige: This is ridiculous. Leo did not kill your parents.",
"Brody: If he's one of them, he did.",
"Phoebe: He just became one of them. Look, we didn't come to you so you can kill Leo. We came to you to help us get rid of them.",
"Brody: This is the only way to get rid of them. When my parents uncovered this, they didn't just discover a potion. They discovered a battle that happened five thousand years ago over our very future. They fought the Avatars then, and we gotta fight them now.",
"(They walk into the dining room and see the mess.)",
"Phoebe: What happened in here?",
"Paige: Piper?",
"Piper's Voice: Upstairs.",
"Phoebe: At least we know she's okay.",
"Paige: Well, looks like the demons didn't wait for us to go after them. They came here first.",
"Brody: How do you know the Avatars didn't do it, huh?",
"Phoebe: You know, he'll kill you first. You won't even be able to get that bottle out of your hand.",
"Brody: We'll see.",
"Paige: Look, I get that this is about your parents. I do, really.",
"Brody: Yes. It is about my parents, and, no, you don't get it.",
"Paige: The hell I don't. My parents were killed too, remember?",
"Brody: Paige, my parents were murdered.",
"Paige: Look. Leo is not the bad guy here. For all we know, he was brainwashed or possessed or something. Just, please, give us a minute. Just wait down here. Please?",
"Brody: Just don't let him go, all right? I've spent twenty years looking for the Avatars. I'm not about to lose them now.",
"(Phoebe and Paige go upstairs.)",
"[Cut to the attic. Piper and Leo are there. Phoebe and Paige walk in.]",
"Paige: Piper, what happened? Are you okay?",
"Piper: No thanks to you.",
"Paige: What is that supposed to mean?",
"Piper: What it means is it would've been nice to have a vanquishing potion when we were ambushed, a vanquishing potion that you were supposed to make, by the way.",
"Paige: Oops.",
"Piper: Yeah, oops. Where the hell were you?",
"Paige: I was at Kyle's.",
"Leo: What were you doing there?",
"Paige: Frankly? Trying to save you.",
"Leo: Trying to save me. I don't need saving. I know what I'm doing.",
"Paige: Do you know Kyle's parents were killed by the Avatars?",
"Leo: That's impossible. It goes against everything they believe in.",
"Phoebe: Well, you're gonna have to come up with a better argument than that if you go downstairs.",
"Leo: Why is that?",
"Piper: He's downstairs? Why is he downstairs?",
"Paige: You don't wanna know.",
"Phoebe: He thinks you're a threat, Leo, to all of us.",
"Piper: Well, he's wrong.",
"Phoebe: How do you know?",
"Piper: Because. Look, I know this is a shock to everyone, but he didn't have to tell us the truth. He wouldn't have if it was a bad thing.",
"Paige: Piper, everything, and I mean everything, points to them being bad. Even the Elders think so.",
"Leo: Because they don't understand.",
"Phoebe: So, what, we're just supposed to take your word for it? How do we know you're not possessed or something right now?",
"Leo: Come on.",
"Phoebe: No, Leo, I'm serious. How do we know?",
"Leo: Because they haven't threatened anything we believe in. It's all good.",
"Piper: We at least need to think about it.",
"Paige: Since when did you jump on this Avatar train?",
"Piper: When I started thinking about what my kids' lives would be like fighting the battles we've been fighting our entire lives.",
"Phoebe: But it's what we do. It's what we were born to do.",
"Piper: That does not mean we have to die doing it.",
"Paige: Yeah, maybe you should try to talk to Kyle, hear his side of the story.",
"Piper: I don't need to. I need to vanquish demons again.",
"(Piper picks up the armband and Leo orbs her out.)",
"Phoebe: Now what?",
"[Scene: Underworld. Cave. The Sokol leader and other Sokol demons are there. The leader pushes a demon against a cage.]",
"Leader: How is it you're the only one who still lives?",
"Demon: I wasn't with them. I swear. I don't know what happened to them.",
"(The leader puts a fireball inside the demon's mouth and the demon explodes.)",
"Leader: Something is not right. Why would Malvoc attack only to retreat? How would that help him get to the innocent?",
"(Leo orbs in with Piper. Piper shows them the arm band.)",
"Piper: Lose something? (She throws it on the ground. She throws a potion and vanquishes two of the demons. Leo throws out a huge force of electricity and fire, vanquishing them all.) What was that?",
"Leo: All part of the package.",
"Piper: That was a lot of power.",
"Leo: Yeah, when it's used wisely. See, the Avatars could destroy us or force us to change, but they don't. Isn't that enough reason to trust them?",
"[Scene: Manor. Conservatory. Phoebe, Paige and Brody are there.]",
"Brody: How could you let him go? How could you let the Avatar go?",
"Phoebe: Okay, he's still Leo, so would you stop referring to him as the Avatar, please?",
"Brody: All right, we gotta fix this, and we gotta fix it fast. Now, where did he go?",
"Paige: I don't know. He orbed out with Piper.",
"Brody: But how do you know he didn't go to alert the others? How are we supposed to stop them?",
"Paige: He didn't. I promise.",
"Brody: How do you know? Huh? How can you be so sure? I cannot believe you guys let him get away!",
"Paige: Okay, something is wrong. He's not acting like himself.",
"Phoebe: I think you need to orb that potion away from him before he does something stupid.",
"Paige: What if he flips out?",
"Phoebe: I think he already has flipped out. (Kyle shoots Paige in the back with a tranquillizer gun. She falls to the floor.) What did you do?",
"Brody: It's just a tranq. She'll be fine.",
"(He pulls out his gun and points it at Phoebe.)",
"Phoebe: What are you doing?",
"Brody: I'm killing an Avatar, and nobody's gonna stop me.",
"[Scene: 16th and Mission. Alley. Leo orbs in with Piper and the innocent.]",
"Piper: He should wake up in a couple minutes.",
"Leo: Thanks, Piper.",
"Piper: For?",
"Leo: For believing in me.",
"Piper: I always have. I always will. It's the only way...",
"Leo: I know.",
"(The innocent starts to wake up and Malvoc appears. He throws an energy ball at the innocent.)",
"Malvoc: Thanks for helping.",
"(Malvoc disappears.)",
"Piper: What just happened? We vanquished them.",
"Leo: No, we didn't.",
"Piper: Yeah, we did.",
"Leo: No, we vanquished the wrong ones. He had different markings.",
"Piper: What do you mean?",
"Leo: We were tricked.",
"Piper: Yeah, well, we wouldn't have been if Paige and Phoebe weren't off chasing Avatars instead of helping me.",
"[Cut to the manor. Conservatory. Phoebe is sitting on a chair and Brody is standing beside her pointing the gun. Leo orbs in with Piper.]",
"Piper: Paige?",
"Brody: She's fine. You and I are gonna have a little chat.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Manor. Conservatory. Continued from before.]",
"Leo: All right, let's just take a deep breath here. We can talk this out.",
"(Leo steps forward.)",
"Piper: Leo.",
"Brody: I don't want to hurt her, but I will if I have to. Your kind is responsible for a nightmare that won't go away, for all those nights waking up in a sweat begging that the flashbacks were just a dream.",
"Piper: Kyle, please.",
"Brody: It's not a dream, though, is it, Leo? You Avatars are as real as the air that we breathe and just as vacant. My parents were viciously murdered by them. So if I were you, Leo, I'd do what I say.",
"Leo: The Avatars couldn't have killed your parents, Kyle. They believe in peace.",
"Brody: I'm gonna give you three seconds to summon one of your buddies here, so I can kill them. If you don't, I'm gonna kill you.",
"Leo: I can't do that.",
"Brody: One...",
"Leo: Avatars aren't the enemy, Kyle.",
"Brody: Two...",
"Piper: Leo.",
"Brody: Three.",
"Piper: No! (Leo shoots electricity at Kyle and Kyle drops the vial as he is knocked backwards. The vial breaks on the floor and a thick grey cloud of smoke enters Leo's body. Leo falls to the floor.) Leo?",
"Leo: Piper, wasn't supposed to happen like this.",
"Piper: No, it's okay. It's okay. (She starts to cry.) No, no, no, no, not now, please. (Leo groans.) Leo? Leo, come on.",
"(She cries. Time suddenly freezes. Alpha and Beta appear.)",
"Leo: I don't understand, how did this happen?",
"Alpha: The potion is real, Leo. It kills Avatars.",
"Beta: The Collective weakens with every last breath you take. We told you, the truth must come to them in their own time, not yours.",
"Leo: But, Piper, she...",
"Alpha: Understood, yes, but the others were not able to, and so we became the enemy out of fear and ignorance.",
"Beta: And an innocent was lost because of it.",
"Alpha: Everything was lost.",
"Leo: I was just trying to make things right with Piper.",
"Alpha: Of course. But you've learned, and now you can save yourself. You have it in you to rewind time to just before you told Piper the truth, if you hurry.",
"Beta: If we all hurry.",
"(They close their eyes and time rewinds.)",
"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Piper and Leo are there. Piper is making the potion but is still frozen.]",
"Leo: It worked.",
"Alpha: Yes, but at a price. All that's happened has taken a great toll on our power. As it is, we may not have enough to implement our plan.",
"Beta: To rid the world of demons, to end the duality requires all that we had.",
"Leo: But if the sisters come to the truth, won't their powers add to the collective?",
"Beta: Yes, but it may not be enough.",
"Alpha: You must not try this ever again, Leo. You can never tell Piper about us, not until she's truly ready.",
"(The Avatars disappear. Piper unfreezes.)",
"Piper: Leo, please, this is not the time or place, okay? I don't want to get into this right now. This is a little dicey.",
"Leo: Okay.",
"Piper: Thank you.",
"Leo: You're distracted.",
"Piper: Please, don't tell me how to demon hunt.",
"Leo: I'm not. I didn't mean to. Let's just focus on getting the demons. Not too much beetletoe. You don't want to blow up the place, do you?",
"Piper: No. Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?",
"Leo: I don't know. I guess I just realized I can't force things on you. If you're gonna trust me, you're gonna come to it in your own time.",
"Piper: Hmm. There may be hope for you yet.",
"Leo: Bottle up the potions. I think I know where the demons are gonna attack next.",
"[Time lapse. Piper and Leo are standing in the dining room. The three demons appear.]",
"Leo: Now!",
"(Piper throws the potions and Leo shoots electricity at them, vanquishing them.)",
"Piper: That was easy.",
"Leo: Wait. (Malvoc appears behind the wall. Leo walks over and sees him.) Hey. (Leo shoots electricity at him, vanquishing him.) All right, now all we have to do is get rid of the other gang and we can bring the innocent back.",
"Piper: All right, I give up. How did you figure all this out?",
"Leo: You don't want to know, believe me.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Rooftop. Paige and Brody are sitting at a table having a romantic dinner.]",
"Paige: What?",
"Brody: Nothing. Just, uh, glad you gave me another shot, that's all.",
"Paige: You didn't think I would?",
"Brody: Well, I didn't hear from you after I botched breakfast.",
"Paige: Well, breakfast isn't really a date anyway, right? And dinner, much better.",
"Brody: And dessert?",
"Paige: Dessert, too. Dessert is good. You know, Agent Brody, you are a damn fine cook. Any other secrets I should know about you?",
"Brody: Other than my crazed obsession with Avatars.",
"Paige: Oh, you're not so crazed.",
"Brody: No? Wait till I meet one. Forget that. Let's, uh, rewind, and you can ask me the secrets question again, okay?",
"Paige: Do you, Kyle Brody, have any secrets?",
"Brody: No.",
"(They kiss.)",
"[Scene: Manor. Bedroom. Piper is standing near the doorway watching the boys sleep. Leo walks up to the door.]",
"Leo: They asleep?",
"Piper: Yeah. Finally.",
"Leo: Piper?",
"Piper: Hmm?",
"Leo: Look, I know you think there's something I haven't been telling you.",
"Piper: Leo, not now.",
"Leo: Just hear me out. There actually is something I'm not telling you, but not because I don't want to. It's because I can't.",
"Piper: What do you mean you can't? The Elders won't let you?",
"Leo: Well, I can't even tell you that. I can tell you you're gonna find out soon. (She looks at him.) You're gonna be okay with it.",
"Piper: Oh, yeah? How do you know?",
"Leo: I know you."

"The Avatars insist that Leo protect Kira , a seer, because she has information that can help them destroy the demons and help the sisters reconcile themselves to the Avatars. Kira shares with Phoebe a vision of a future in which there are no demons, leading the sisters to consider the possibility that the Avatars might be good and allowing Leo the opportunity to admit he is an Avatar. Kyle and Paige find themselves in opposition to Leo, Piper, and Phoebe. Zankou is released by a congregation of lesser demons fearing the Avatars and the sisters. Zankou invades the manor and kills Kira."

"Photographer: All right. Okay. How's this? Looks like a little angel.",
"Piper: Uh, yeah, now that you mention it, not so big on the whole up there-y look. Maybe we should try the brown again.",
"(The Photographer changes the backdrop.)",
"Photographer: Okay, then. Let's do this.",
"Piper: Uh, you know what? It is kind of blah, huh? I like the Moroccan one.",
"Leo: Uh, Piper, other people are waiting.",
"Piper: Yeah? Well, I've been waiting for years. Ever since Wyatt was born, I wanted a family portrait, and it's always one thing or another. He's going you know what and you're going bonkers.",
"Leo: She exaggerates a little.",
"Piper: Now that I have everyone here, I'm not gonna be pressured into making any hasty decisions.",
"Leo: You know, at this point it wouldn't be.",
"Piper: Look, can I help it if I just want it to be perfect?",
"Leo: Piper, it's gonna be perfect no matter what the backdrop. You look beautiful.",
"Photographer: Okay, then. Let's do this. All righty, then. Here we go. (He holds up a puppet octopus.) Happy octopus. (The Avatars appear near by.) Everyone say cheese.",
"(The photographer takes the photo. Everyone freezes except Leo. He goes over to the Avatars.)",
"Leo: Guys, this really isn't a good time.",
"Beta: We wouldn't have come, but this can't wait.",
"Leo: Neither can this.",
"Gamma: It may be too late already. We've gotten word of something.",
"Beta: Someone has information which could bring the sisters to us, help them to see the beauty of our way.",
"Leo: Really? That's great. Are you sure?",
"Alpha: Yes. But she's under attack by demons, even as we speak. You must save her and bring her home so she can share what she knows.",
"Gamma: She may be our last, best chance at convincing the sisters.",
"Leo: This isn't gonna go over very well.",
"(Leo stands back in his position. The Avatars disappear. Everyone unfreezes.)",

"Piper: Uh, we get three poses.",
"Leo: I know, but something's come up.",

"Leo: You know, I still don't understand why you didn't just shimmer out.",
"Seer: And miss you coming to meet me? That would've been rude. Plus, I'm eager to make a deal with your bosses. So, why did the Elders send you, anyway? They know we had a thing?",
"Leo: We didn't have a thing.",
"Seer: Mmm. Trying to put that ugly past behind you. I get it.",

"Leo: How about you tell me why your fellow demons are trying to kill you?",
"Seer: The Elders didn't tell you? You know, you're hard to read. But that's okay. I like a challenge.",
"Leo: Just answer the question.",
"Seer: I'm selling them out for bigger and better things, and they're miffed. Not that they wouldn't do the same to me in a New York minute.",
"Leo: All right. Well, I gotta fill Piper in. The sisters find you up here, they're gonna kill you.",
"Seer: No, no. Actually, they won't. I've seen my death. No babes involved.",

"Leo: Well, that's a little extreme, don't you think? It's not like I'm running away all the time. It was once.",
"Piper: No. No. I mean the picture. Mm-hm. (She shows him the family portrait.) In the picture you're just a blur. But you know what? What the heck. I'm gonna hang it anyway. Better than nothing.",

"Leo: I couldn't say no. It was important.",
"(Piper walks up the stairs.)",

"Darryl: No, and when I confronted Brody on it, he said that she jumped to a top secret task force, and that's why there's no record.",
"Phoebe: So that's it, right?",
"Darryl: No. There's always a record somewhere. So I looked for something that maybe you could scry with.",
"Phoebe: And?",
"Darryl: Listen. Her apartment, her records, her files, all have been cleaned out. It's like it was a professional job. Someone does not want me to find her. And I think that someone just went upstairs with your sister.",
"Phoebe: Forget happy endings. We can't even have a happy beginning.",

"Leo: You know, you might wanna narrow it down to your top ten demands.",
"Seer: Hey. I've got something you want, okay? And the minute I spill my guts, I have no more bargaining chips. So I'm milking it for all I can.",
"Piper: Were the boys okay when you left?",
"Leo: Yes. Miss Donovan was reading to them.",
"Seer: Did you get the shar-pei down?",
"Piper: You know, because Chris has that rash and Wyatt's been a little cranky.",
"Leo: They're fine. I don't know why you're worried so much. We leave them there all the time.",
"Piper: Exactly. They spend more time at magic school lately than they do at home.",
"Seer: She's right, you know.",
"Piper: You stay out of it.",
"Leo: Look, I don't wanna leave them there any more than you do. But we need to take care of this before the demons attack.",
"Seer: On that note, let's move this along, shall we?",
"Piper: See? It's just endless. I'm never gonna be able to spend any real time with my kids while we're single-handedly trying to rid the world of demons.",
"Seer: Hello? I'm a demon you can get rid of. Preferably before I'm ambushed again.",
"Piper: Okay, here's her list. Go see what the Elders have to say.",
"(Piper hands Leo the list.)",
"Seer: Hold on there, Sugar. I've got one more thing I'd like to add to that list, and it's something only the Elders can give. And it's a deal-breaker. I wanna be made human.",
"Piper: What? Why in the hell would a powerful demon want to be made human?",
"Seer: Hell being the operative word, as in, I live there and it sucks.",
"Piper: You know what? I don't think you know anything. I think it's all just one big scam. How do we have any proof?",
"(Three demons appear in the attic.)",
"Swarm King: Hello, beautiful.",
"(He throws a fireball at the Seer and it scrapes her on the arm. She dives over the couch.)",
"Seer: Ow! (Leo vanquishes the demons with streams of electricity.) I can't believe I slept with that guy.",
"(Three more demons appear in the attic.)",
"Piper: (to the Seer) Okay, apparently the cage is not working so great for you, so just stay down.",
"(Piper blows up the demons.)",
"[Cut to the hallway. Phoebe and Paige are heading for the attic.]",
"Phoebe: How's it going in there?",
"Paige: Not loving the demon interruptus.",
"(They walk into the attic. The Seer comes out from behind the couch.)",
"Seer: Is that proof enough for ya, sweetie?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Piper looks at some broken baby furniture.]",
"Piper: Well, I guess Chris won't be using this. I gotta stop trying to keep anything nice in this house.",
"(Leo looks at the Seer's wound.)",
"Seer: Ouch! You know, that hurts.",
"Piper: Yeah, well, get used to it, 'cause if this is a setup.",
"Leo: This is not a setup.",
"Paige: Can someone please just remind me why, uh, we are protecting a demon?",
"Piper: Well, apparently, she's selling out all of her buddies. So we're doing the witness protection thing. You know, if you want us to make a deal with the Elders to make you human, I think you need to give us something.",
"Paige: Wait. Back up. Did you say human?",
"Seer: I know, I know. I wouldn't actually have a soul, but I could live with that.",
"Phoebe: This is so weird.",
"Paige: Okay, and also a waste of my time. Because I was in the middle of something.",
"Seer: Okay, okay, fine. I'll give you something. A little enticement.",
"Paige: Bated breath.",
"Seer: Okay, sure. I have a little black Book of Demons. But I also have the skinny on a little thing called the Avatars.",
"Leo: What do you know about the Avatars?",
"(Brody walks in.)",
"Brody: Yeah. What do you know about them?",
"Seer: (to Paige) Oh. Didn't I tell you he'd like the dress?",
"Paige: Stop doing that.",
"Brody: Can we get back to the Avatars, please?",
"Seer: I know that they're close, closer than you think. Could be here any minute.",
"(Brody walks out of the attic.)",
"Paige: Kyle.",
"(Paige follows Brody.)",
"Phoebe: Okay, pow-wow. Pow-wow. Let's go. (Piper, Phoebe and Leo head for the door. The Seer follows.) Not you. You stay here. (Piper, Phoebe and Leo walk down the stairs.) Okay, here's what I don't get. Why does the Seer want to be human if the Avatars are so close?",
"Piper: Yeah, you'd think she'd want to be evil if evil was about to take over.",
"Leo: Unless the Avatars are good.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, right. Is that possible?",
"Piper: Either way, I just need her gone, and I want my boys home. (to Leo) So why don't you go up to the Elders and see if you can make a deal?",
"Phoebe: Meantime, I'll stay with the Seer. Since we have similar powers, maybe I can tap into hers and find out what she really knows.",
"Piper: Good. Go.",
"(Piper and Phoebe walk away.)",
"Leo: (whispers) You've put me in an awkward position. (The Avatars appear.) Why didn't you tell me I was rescuing a demon?",
"Gamma: There wasn't time. She was about to be killed.",
"Beta: Besides, we couldn't take the chance that you would say no. Too much is at stake.",
"Leo: You're taking an even bigger risk by parking a demon in the house.",
"Alpha: We know it's dangerous, Leo. But we're at a crossroads.",
"Gamma: Agent Brody is a threat we didn't count on. He has the means to destroy us and the passion to turn them against us.",
"Alpha: We're taking a calculated risk in the hopes of guiding the sisters toward the right road.",
"Leo: This isn't calculated. It's foolhardy. The Seer's unpredictable. She'd out me in a heartbeat.",
"Beta: Except she thinks you're just an Elder since she sent her message to them. We simply intercepted it.",
"Leo: She'll see through me.",
"Gamma: She won't if you get her what she wants quickly. Make the deal.",
"Leo: Think about it, Leo. With her power, she can literally show the sisters our future, help them to understand what we're offering in a way no one else can. Not even you.",
"[Scene: Underworld. Cave. The demons are there.]",
"Shouter Demon: They should be back by now.",
"Vulture Demon: They're dead. The witches killed them.",
"Shapeshifter: Yeah, well, we'll all be dead soon if we don't pull out all the stops.",
"Vulture Demon: And what stops are you pulling out, Shapeshifter? You're a coward with no power.",
"Shapeshifter: I'm just saying.",
"Shouter Demon: I'm telling you, we should release Zankou.",
"Vulture Demon: No way.",
"[Scene: Manor. The Seer is there flipping through a photo album. Phoebe walks in.]",
"Seer: You know, you girls really should take better care of your things. There are some singed pages here.",
"Phoebe: Well, you should tell your demon friends to be more careful when they attack next.",
"Seer: Look at this. You're like a family, and there's, like, pictures of fun times and stuff.",
"Phoebe: Look at Wyatt. That's his first birthday.",
"(Phoebe touches the Seer's hand.)",
"Seer: Yeah.",
"Phoebe: Are those my earrings?",
"Seer: Yeah. Sorry. They called out to me. (Phoebe touches the earrings.) You're so close, and-and you like each other, and you're happy and...",
"(Phoebe touches the Seer's shoulder.)",
"Phoebe: Happy and...?",
"Seer: And could you push a little harder on that right shoulder? If you're not gonna get a premonition, you could at least work out that knot.",
"Phoebe: Can't blame a girl for trying, you know?",
"Seer: Hey, when I first started getting my visions, I had to touch people too. Phone.",
"Phoebe: Hm?",
"Seer: Phone.",
"(Phoebe's cell rings.)",
"Phoebe: Oh, phone. You're good. (She answers it.) Hello? Uh, Darryl, now's not really a good time again. Let me call you back? All right. (Phoebe hangs up.) I mean, not that I'm okay with you stealing my stuff, but those earrings really do look amazing on you. Then again, what wouldn't?",
"Seer: You know, Sugar, much as I enjoy the flattery and the bonding and even the touching, you're not getting anything out of me until you make me human.",
"Phoebe: Okay. I get it. But what I don't get is why you want to be human. I mean, did the bad stuff just start to get to you after a while?",
"Seer: No. The good stuff did. In my line of work, I see a lot and good and bad, and the good's just better. Problem is, I can see it, but I can't feel it.",
"Phoebe: That's the thing about vision. It's a blessing and a curse.",
"Seer: Yep. You know, being a demon is about feeding the endless emptiness, and I'm sick of it. I long for the subtle notes in between.",
"Phoebe: And the Avatars have something to do with that, right? I'm just not sure what. (She looks at the Seer.) Right. Bargaining chip.",
"Seer: Look, it's not like I'm being tight-lipped and mean for no reason. I can't give you what you want, or I won't get what I want. I see. You're not even sure I have anything you want.",
"Phoebe: Look, I want to trust you. I really do. But you're a demon.",
"Seer: How about I help you with your other problem instead? You know, the thing with the cop. Uh, Sheridan. If I find her for you, then would you trust me?",
"(Phoebe hands her Sheridan's pen.)",
"[Scene: Brody's Apartment. Paige and Brody are there. Brody pulls a suitcase out of the closet.]",
"Paige: What the hell are you doing?",
"Brody: We're wasting time. We should've orbed in.",
"Paige: Well, yeah. That's why I drove, thinking maybe it'd give you time to chill out a little.",
"Brody: Look, if the Avatars are on the way like the Seer says, we've gotta be prepared.",
"(He takes the vial out of the suitcase.)",
"Paige: Okay, what the hell is that? You're kind of freaking me out.",
"Brody: It's why the Avatars killed my parents. It's a vanquishing potion that kills them.",
"Paige: I didn't know one existed.",
"Brody: Neither did they. They didn't even know what they found. All they knew was that this ancient civilization fought off this great power with it. The Avatars went into retreat -- till now.",
"Paige: Well, I think that's great. Now you have the potion, we know where it is, and, uh, we can just put it away and bring it out if we need it.",
"Brody: Paige, I have spent my entire life preparing for this moment when I can finally meet them face to face.",
"Paige: Look, you have to let my sisters and I help. This is what we do. I know you've had a lot of pain. Okay? One potion is not gonna fix everything. Would you please just let us help you?",
"Brody: No. This is my fight. You don't know what I've had to do to get this far.",
"Paige: What do you mean?",
"Brody: I told you. I've done some things that I'm not very proud of.",
"Paige: We all have.",
"(They kiss.)",
"[Scene: Magic School. Leo and Odin are there.]",
"Odin: We don't negotiate with demons.",
"Leo: Well, she could give us everything we need to go after every upper-level demon.",
"Odin: In exchange for making her human? I don't think so. We have more pressing concerns than demons, like the Avatars.",
"Leo: She might know something about them too.",
"Odin: What does she know?",
"Leo: She's cagey. But I get the feeling that she might have foreseen something about them.",
"Odin: Well. Then that might be worth bargaining for. But we need to know what she knows first. Then, and only then, will we see about giving her what she wants.",
"(Odin orbs out.)",
"[Scene: Outside Hawkbrook Mental Health Facility. Darryl is waiting there. Phoebe and the Seer appear.]",
"Phoebe: Darryl.",
"Darryl: You're late. Who is this?",
"Phoebe: Uh, the Seer. Seer, Darryl. Darryl, Seer. Let's see if Sheridan's here, shall we?",
"Darryl: Whoa, hold on a second here. You really think after all this time I wouldn't recognize a demon? I can't believe you brought a demon.",
"Phoebe: Actually, she brought me.",
"Seer: Go easy on him. His wife's had him sleeping on the couch all week.",
"Darryl: How does she know that?",
"Phoebe: Seer. Get it? She sees things. She's perfectly harmless and actually very good at what she does. I can't hold a candle to her.",
"Seer: Oh, that's so sweet, and so not true. (to Darryl) And don't worry. She'll get over it. Just bring her some of that marzipan that she likes.",
"Darryl: You think... You mean, like, the little fruit? I can't believe I'm listening to a demon.",
"Phoebe: Don't be rude. She found this place. Let's go.",
"Darryl: What a fool I was thinking that this crazy-ass stuff wouldn't happen anymore like-like this.",
"(The Seer walks onto the grass and starts spinning.)",
"Phoebe: I know. It's why you don't hang out with us anymore. But you got to admit it, you sort of miss it, don't you?",
"Darryl: Phoebe, what is your demon friend doing?",
"(Phoebe rushes to the Seer.)",
"Phoebe: Uh-oh. Okay. There's plenty of time for this when you're human.",
"Seer: Oh, come on. Take off your shoes and let me feel the grass through you.",
"Phoebe: Yeah. We gotta get back before Leo does. Otherwise, he'll flip. You coming, Darryl?",
"(They walk inside the building.)",
"Seer: What kind of place is this?",
"Phoebe: It's a mental hospital.",
"Seer: Oh, whoa. I've never seen this side of good in my visions before. It's so bad.",
"Phoebe: Yeah. Well, there's a downside to being able to feel things sometimes.",
"Seer: Well, I'd still take good that's not always good over bad that's never good.",
"Phoebe: Somehow, I know exactly what you mean.",
"Seer: Yeah. (They walk to a door.) I'd try that one. (Darryl opens the door. The walk into an office. Across the room is another door.) There's more.",

"Leo: You know, I just can't get over the fact that you were crazy enough to take the Seer out of the house.",
"Phoebe: Well, I needed to find out if she was dating a madman, and I did, and she is. So please, Leo, you need to go get her.",
"Leo: You know, you could've waited for me, and I could've taken her.",
"Seer: I came back, didn't I?",
"Leo: Because you need us.",
"Phoebe: And because she likes us.",
"Leo: Okay, are you two buddy-buddies starting to read each other?",
"Seer: What are you afraid of, anyway? That I'm gonna tell her your dirty little secret?",
"Leo: What makes you think I have any secrets?",
"Phoebe: Hey, you guys, Paige is in danger. We have to get Piper out of magic school so we can get Paige out of Kyle's apartment, please. Please.",
"Leo: Okay. But don't go anywhere, and make sure these potions are near you, okay? (He hands her a potion.) She's no good to us dead. And don't make me come back and separate you.",
"(Leo orbs out.)",
"Phoebe: So, okay, so if the Avatars are bad, wouldn't it be safer for you just to stay a demon?",
"Seer: You're wondering if hubby is wrong about the avatars.",
"Phoebe: Yeah. I mean, is it possible that they're good? Is it really possible?",
"Seer: It's a smart question, one I'm sure to answer for you once I get my lap pool and the ability to feel.",
"Phoebe: Fine. But first you're gonna have to ID some of your demon buddies for me.",

"Zankou: Finally. Too bad The Source isn't still alive. I owe him for this. One of you was against freeing me. Who was it?",
"Vulture Demon: It was me. I figured The Source incarcerated you for a reason, because you're too dangerous.",
"Zankou: I like an honest demon. Now, where's The Seer?",
"Shouter Demon: You know about...?",
"Zankou: I could sense it all from my prison. I even know about the Avatars.",

"Piper: (mumbles to Leo) Oh, so much for breaking it to her before it's too late. (to Paige) Uh, what's up is, uh, that, you know how Morris was looking into how maybe Sheridan... Tell 'em, Leo.",
"Leo: Phoebe and Morris found Sheridan in a mental institution. She was in a coma, and we believe you put her there.",
"Paige: Yeah. I actually know. Kyle told me.",
"Piper: You know? And you're okay with this?",
"Paige: Well, um, we all do things we're not proud of sometimes. Right, Leo?",
"Leo: I think that's a little different. He shot an innocent.",
"Brody: With a tranq-dart.",
"Piper: Then put her in a coma.",
"Paige: He did that to help. To help us. She was gonna expose us.",
"Brody: Look, guys, it's just temporary. Okay? She's completely safe. And I will bring her out of it, right after the Avatar threat's over with.",
"Leo: After losing a chunk of her life?",
"Paige: You of all people should understand the sacrifice. Whatever he's done is to try to help rid the world of evil.",
"Leo: It appears to me that he's the evil, not the Avatars.",
"Brody: What, are you insane? Of course they're evil. Leo, they killed my parents.",
"Piper: Okay. Uh, this is gonna take a while to figure out. Why don't you get dressed so we can go.",

"[Scene: Manor. Dining Room. Phoebe and the Seer are there. Phoebe is flipping through the Book of Shadows.]",

"Phoebe: Okay, so what I'm gathering is pretty much every demon in this book hates you?",
"Seer: Pretty much. Which is sad because they're my family. Well, I mean, it would be sad if I had feelings.",

"Phoebe: Yeah, well, you know what? I am not okay with it.",
"Piper: Well, neither am I. But first things first. We need to get this little demon creature out of the house.",
"Leo: We need to get the information about the Avatars so I can use it as leverage against the Elders.",
"Seer: You know my terms.",
"Piper: Your terms are ridiculous.",
"Leo: Look, what if I personally guarantee you get what you want?",
"Seer: Oh, I'm supposed to trust you now?",

"Seer: If I even get to that future, which, if Zankou has his way, I won't.",
"Leo: But let's just keep in mind that the future's volatile, okay? The choices me make, the things we do, could change it. What you saw may never happen.",
"Phoebe: But if the good part of what I saw can happen, that would be great, because it was incredible. I was so happy and calm and peaceful, and my little girl. Oh, god, she was so cute.",
"Seer: Yeah. Not normally big on the rug rats, but she was cute.",
"Phoebe: Now I'm even more worried about Paige. Kyle wants to destroy something that could potentially be really great.",
"Piper: Okay, hang on a second. We don't know any of this for sure, and even you made the Avatar future seem threatening.",
"Seer: Well, duh. If I made it sound peachy, you wouldn't have helped me. The fact is, I didn't see anything threatening. How about you, Leo?",
"(Leo doesn't say anything.)",
"Piper: Okay, seriously, what is it with you two?",
"Seer: Are you gonna tell her, or shall I? I told you I liked a challenge. So what's it gonna be?",
"Leo: Look, apparently what she has seen, is that I know the Avatars are good, because I'm an Avatar.",
"Piper: What? That's insane. What does that mean?",
"Leo: That means I believe in what they want. A world beyond good and evil.",
"Phoebe: Wait. Are you saying that you've been living in our house as an Avatar, and you haven't told us?",
"Leo: Look, I'm the same old Leo.",
"Piper: Only not. Is this how you went from psycho crazy guy to happy-happy guy? Because you became an Avatar?",
"Leo: What changed for me was knowing that we could have this life that we always wanted. A life without demons, you know? They showed me this peaceful world. Happy, like Phoebe saw in her vision.",
"Piper: The point is not happy. The point is, why didn't you tell me?",
"Leo: Well, I couldn't tell you until you were ready. Everybody has to come to the truth in their own time.",
"Piper: Okay, Leo, you know what? Don't guru-talk me, because you are in far too much trouble if you think...",
"Seer: Okay. Guys, guys, can we just put this on hold for a second?",
"Phoebe: She's right. This can wait. She can't. I've seen her vanquish, and we have to make her human right now. She held up her end of the deal. Now it's the Elders' turn.",
"Leo: Okay, well, I can't exactly go to the Elders and say, \"The Seer saw Utopia.\" They're not gonna believe me.",
"Phoebe: No, but they'll believe me. (to the Seer) Piper's gonna help you get your stuff together for your new life. And if I were you, I'd go upstairs and get the dress that matches those earrings, because you're gonna look amazing in it. We'll be right back with the spell.",

"Zankou: You always were amusing. But still, I can't allow you to betray us all just to save your own ass. (He pushes her backwards and throws bee-like particles at her. She screams.) It's good to be back.",
"(Leo orbs in with Phoebe. Zankou disappears. Piper walks in. The Seer is vanquished.)",
"Piper: That wasn't you.",
"Phoebe: That was the demon from my vision.",
"Piper: We can't keep doing this. There's gotta be a better way.",
"Phoebe: There is a better way. She showed it to me, and it was beautiful. I think I want to meet them.",
"Leo: And I want you to, but I think you need a clear mind to do so, and I don't know that now's the right time.",
"Piper: Now is the best time.",
"Leo: You sure?",
"Piper: We're sure. Call them. (Leo closes his eyes and concentrates. The Avatars appear.) We're listening."

"Still not completely sure that the Avatars mean well, Piper agrees to switch powers with Phoebe so that she too can see Phoebe's premonition of a Utopian world. During the spell, Zankou senses their vulnerability and attacks them, accidentally transferring their powers to innocent bystanders, Denise ( Anne Dudek ) and Ronny ( Brian Howe ). Paige shows Kyle that his parents, Jack and Ruth Brody ( Jon Hamm and Jessica Steen ) were not in fact killed by the Avatars, but by demons seeking the anti-Avatar potions. Meanwhile, Denise and Ronny who have gained Piper and Phoebe's powers refuse to co-operate in giving back their new powers. Instead they decide that they'll use their powers to get back at Denise's cheating ex-husband, and win big money. With this plan they head off to gamble in Nevada refusing to obey what's asked of them. Later, Zankou outs Leo to the Elders who confront him, and he admits he is an Avatar, which leads to the Elders trying to kill Leo but fail. Meanwhile, Phoebe convinces Ronny by showing the vision of Utopia given to her by Kira and they return home to switch powers back. There, Zankou attacks, but leaves after Denise blasts him and he senses that Leo is still alive."

"[Scene: Manor. Kitchen. Piper and Leo are there making breakfast.]",
"Leo: I don't know what more proof you need. You told me yourself it sounds great.",
"Piper: It does.",
"Leo: So, what's the problem?",
"Piper: Burning toast.",
"Leo: What?",
"Piper: The toast, it's burning. (Leo goes over to the smoking toaster.) Now, see, there's a question. Your Avatar friends are promising this big, bright future. Um, will there be burning toast?",
"Leo: Piper, be serious.",
"Piper: I am. You know, they say they're gonna rid the world of evil, bring about a better way. What else are they gonna get rid of?",
"Leo: Nothing else. We had this conversation.",
"Piper: Yeah, I know, but...",
"Leo: You talked to the other Avatars, they answered all your questions.",
"Piper: Still, I...",
"Leo: What more do you need to know?",
"Piper: Well, if you'd let me finish a damn sentence, I'd tell ya. Look, the more I think about the whole thing, the more it worries me. No, save the pitch. I've heard it. And I'm not saying it doesn't sound great. Obviously it does, especially after everything we've been through. But...",
"Leo: But?",
"Piper: But it's a huge decision. I mean, it's one thing to save the world from evil every week. It's another thing entirely to change the world just because we can. I mean, isn't that a little cocky?",
"Leo: No. In this case, it's a leap of faith. One that I'm willing to fight for because I have faith in the Avatars.",
"Piper: Yeah, but not everyone else has reached your level of faith yet.",
"(Leo hears something.)",
"Leo: Is that the front door?",
"Piper: Phoebe? Paige? (They walk into the foyer and notice the front door wide open.) That's odd. Did you leave that open?",
"Leo: No, I orbed in.",
"(Kyle walks in behind them.)",
"Kyle: You son of a bitch!",
"(He throws the Avatar potion at Leo and it freezes in mid air.)",
"Leo: That was close.",
"(He notices Piper's also frozen. Alpha and Beta appear.)",
"Alpha: Too close. That's the second time he's tried to kill you, Leo. We need to do something about this.",
"Leo: All right, well, I'm not gonna do anything until you unfreeze Piper. I can't keep lying to her.",
"(Piper unfreezes.)",
"Piper: Watch out! What are they doing here?",
"Beta: Saving his life. This vial contains an ancient potion that kills Avatars, Piper. Which means that someone must have told Agent Brody that Leo is one of us now.",
"Leo: Paige.",
"Piper: All right, what do you want from me? I'll kill her later.",
"Alpha: Make no mistake, Piper, this is a serious matter. One that demands our immediate attention. If one of use were to die, it could weaken the collective to the point where we might not be able to implement the change.",
"Piper: You know, well, maybe you should have thought of that before you killed Brody's parents.",
"Leo: Piper.",
"Piper: What? That's why he views them as a threat. That's what he thinks happened.",
"Alpha: Do you view us as a threat, Piper?",
"Piper: Actually, I'm still working on that one.",
"Beta: We didn't kill his parents. That's not what we're about.",
"Alpha: She'll discover what we're about in her own time as Phoebe already has. But we are running out of time. Agent Brody is not the only problem that we face. Even as we speak, the demon Zankou is mobilising the Underworld to try and stop us as well. (Alpha takes the vial from mid air.) If you truly desire a life beyond good and evil, Piper... we're going to need your help... which means you'll need to decide quickly.",
"(The Avatars disappear. Kyle unfreezes.)",
"Kyle: What happened, huh? What'd you do?",
"Piper: Kyle, wait, listen to me.",
"Kyle: No, you don't understand! That was the last potion! You have no idea what you just did.",
"Piper: Okay, so you see why I'm having a little problem with the faith thing, right? Paige!",
"(Paige orbs in holding a bag of groceries.)",
"Paige: What? What's going on?",
"Piper: Oh, you know, nothing. Your boyfriend tried to kill my husband.",
"Opening Credits",
"[Scene: Manor. Continued from before.]",
"Paige: I don't know what happened. I told Kyle you were an Avatar at breakfast. He seemed okay with it.",
"Piper: Yeah, well, you should have warned us you were gonna tell him.",
"Paige: I would have if I would have known what he was gonna do. Not that I can blame him.",
"Leo: Excuse me?",
"Paige: I mean, not the whole killing thing, obviously. But his parents were killed by the Avatars.",
"Leo: The Avatars weren't responsible for that.",
"Paige: How do you know? Were you there, Leo?",
"Leo: No, I wasn't, but now that I'm an Avatar, I can tell you they wouldn't do that because it goes against everything they believe in.",
"Paige: Well, Kyle thinks otherwise, and he happened to be there.",
"Piper: Paige, in all fairness, he was only five years old. Who knows what really happened?",
"Paige: Why don't you try to convince him of that?",
"(Phoebe walks in.)",
"Phoebe: Talking about Kyle, I assume? I just called him looking for you. He gave me an earful. You okay?",
"Leo: Yeah.",
"Piper: Good thing Kyle is out of potions.",
"Phoebe: It still doesn't solve his problem. And until somebody does... I would assume that you're not gonna go along with the Avatars, right?",
"Paige: What do you have up your sleeve?",
"Phoebe: Well, I was just thinking, remember how Leo sent you back to find out what really happened to your parents?",
"Paige: Yeah.",
"Piper: Well, maybe we could do the same thing for Kyle and help him move on.",
"Paige: Okay, but what if Kyle sees that they really did kill his parents?",
"Phoebe: Well, if that's the case, then we'll kill the Avatars and help him move on that way. The sooner we help Kyle find out the truth, the sooner we can all move on.",
"Piper: Move on to what?",
"Phoebe: The future the Avatars promised us. The one I saw in my vision.",
"Piper: Okay, but Phoebe, we all didn't see that.",
"Phoebe: Yes, but you could if you and I swap powers.",
"Piper: What?",
"Phoebe: It would just be for a little while. Just long enough for you to see the vision for yourself. I promise you, it's beautiful.",
"Piper: Okay, look, if the Avatars are exonerated, and I see what Phoebe saw, then we'll talk about it.",
"(Phoebe looks at Paige.)",
"Paige: Fine, I'll talk too.",
"[Scene: Underworld. Cave. Zankou is standing in front of a fire pit, meditating. A group of demons stand nearby.]",
"Laygan: Zankou, hi, sorry to disturb you.",
"Zankou: What is it?",
"Laygan: Well, we were just wondering, and I mean all of us, not just myself, when things were gonna move along. Seeing as how the Avatars are so close to wiping us off the face of the Earth and all.",
"Zankou: The Avatars are not the problem.",
"Laygan: Not the problem? Well, we unleashed you to save us from them, and now they're not the problem? I'm a little confused.",
"Zankou: Would you like me to elaborate?",
"Laygan: Yes, please.",
"(Zankou hits him in the face and he falls into the group of demons.)",
"Zankou: We can't stop the Avatars. We might be able to stop the Charmed Ones before they join forces with them. If we can do that... then the Avatars won't have the power they need in order to remake the world and eliminate us.",
"Laygan: Destroying the Charmed Ones, it always sounds easy. Many have tried. No one's succeeded.",
"Zankou: There's a first time for everything. Besides, I never had the opportunity to go up against them before. I sense... the chance is near.",
"[Scene: Kyle's Apartment. Paige and Kyle are there.]",
"Paige: Are you trying to get yourself killed? 'Cause, you know, that's what easily could have happened.",
"Kyle: Yeah, it was a chance I had to take. You kill one Avatar, it weakens them all. They're connected.",
"Paige: Kyle, you tried to kill Leo!",
"Kyle: I don't care.",
"Paige: I do, and if you actually cared about me, maybe you would too.",
"Kyle: Now, see, don't lay that on me.",
"Paige: Don't lay what on you? He's my brother-in-law. He matters to me.",
"Kyle: Yeah, my parents mattered to me too!",
"Paige: Okay. Even if the Avatars did kill them, Leo wasn't there. How can you even hold him responsible?",
"Kyle: It was the only way I could get to 'em.",
"Paige: So you would kill somebody who's innocent to exact revenge on whoever killed your parents. Gee, that makes you a whole lot better than those killers.",
"Kyle: Look, I know who killed my parents.",
"Paige: Do you? You sure?",
"Kyle: I'm sure.",
"Paige: You won't mind proving it?",
"Kyle: What are you talking about?",
"Paige: I'm talking about getting you past this, finding out who really did this. Are you interested?",
"Kyle: Yeah.",
"Paige: Good. Then you won't mind going on a little trip with me.",
"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Piper and Phoebe are there. Phoebe is flipping through the Book of Shadows.]",

"Piper: Yeah, and if I remember correctly, didn't it bite us in the ass? (Phoebe gives her a look.) I'm just saying.",
"(Leo orbs in.)",
"Leo: All right. As long as Kyle is willing, the Avatars said they'd send him back to the past.",
"Phoebe: They've got the easy part. They should try dealing with a stubborn sister in the present.",
"Piper: So I'm having second thoughts, sue me.",
"Phoebe: I'm telling you, it's well worth the risk for you to see what I saw. Imagine a future with no demons, a future where we're all free, where our kids get to grow up happy and have normal lives? I mean, it's what we're always dreamed of. Piper, it's what you've always dreamed of.",
"Piper: And you got all that from one vision?",
"Phoebe: Actually, I did.",
"(Leo smiles at her.)",
"Piper: What are you smiling at?",
"Leo: Nothing.",

"Paige: Okay, we're ready.",
"Phoebe: Good, I'm glad. And you will be too.",
"Kyle: We'll see.",
"Leo: All right, let me explain how this is gonna work.",
"Kyle: Hold it. He's doing this?",
"Piper: Uh, yeah. Is there a problem?",
"Kyle: Yeah. How do I know he and the Avatars aren't gonna change the past? Make it look like they want it to.",
"Leo: We can't change the past. Nor would we want to. Besides, you'll know if it's been messed with. It's your past.",
"Kyle: And I've got the word of an Avatar on this? No way.",
"Paige: Kyle, please, we have to do this. It's the only way we're ever gonna find out the truth, right?",
"Kyle: All right. What do I do?",
"Leo: Close your eyes. (He does so.) Concentrate on the day. See it.",
"Paige: How do we get back?",
"Leo: He'll get back when he finds the truth.",
"(Leo waves his hands and a vortex opens in the room. Paige and Kyle hold hands and are sucked into the vortex. The vortex disappears.)",
"Piper: Now what?",
"Phoebe: Now we work on you.",
"[Cut to a subway. The vortex opens and Paige and Kyle walk out.]",
"Paige: You okay?",
"(They walk up the stairs.)",
"Kyle: Yeah. Still not used to this time travel stuff. (He looks around.) Oh my god. (There are Christmas decorations tied up on buildings and lampposts.) Wait a minute, something's not right.",
"Paige: What? What's not right?",
"(Kyle steps onto the street and a car slams on his breaks.)",
"Kyle: Come on!",
"Driver: Hey, buddy, watch it, huh?",
"Paige: Where are you going?",
"(Kyle goes to a newsstand and picks up a paper.)",
"Kyle: December 28th, 1981.",
"Paige: Isn't that the date?",
"Kyle: Yeah. This isn't where it happened. This isn't where they died.",
"Paige: You sure?",
"Kyle: Yeah, of course I'm sure. They died in a warehouse near JFK, at 7:52 at night. I checked the coroner's report. This is Columbia University. This is where they taught.",
"Paige: Maybe we're starting here for another reason.",
"Kyle: The Avatars want me to miss seeing it. That's not gonna happen. We need to get to the airport. Hey, taxi!",
"(Paige notices an advertisement on the top of the taxi.)",
"Paige: Cool, Raiders of the Lost Ark. I always wanted to see that. (Kyle walks off. Paige follows.) Christmas in New York, nothing like it, right?",
"Kyle: I think it's the first one I remember.",
"Paige: What'd you get for Christmas?",
"Kyle: Uh, a bunch of books, snow globe, Rubik's Cube.",
"Paige: You must have been a smart boy to handle that.",
"Kyle: I like puzzles. Hey, taxi!",
"(The taxi stops across the street. Kyle and Paige walk over to it. A woman gets out.)",
"Woman: (to inside the car) Come on.",
"(Kyle looks at her and she looks back at him. They recognise each other. The woman faints and Kyle catches her.)",
"Boy: (from inside the car) Mum? Mummy.",
"Kyle: It's okay, son. She's all right. She just fainted. You wanna get your jacket.",
"Paige: Do you know who she is?",
"Kyle: Yeah. That's my mum. (The boy gets out of the car.) Which makes him...",
"Paige: You.",
"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Piper and Phoebe are there. Phoebe is looking through the Book of Shadows.]",
"Phoebe: Found it! You ready?",
"Piper: Uh, what if Zankou shows up? What are we gonna do then?",
"Phoebe: Well, then I blow him up. We'll still have our powers, just in different bodies.",
"Piper: What if that doesn't work? What if we need Paige too?",
"Phoebe: Why are you procrastinating? What are you afraid of?",
"Piper: Honestly, a lot of things, actually. I mean, even if this works, we're still talking about remaking the world as we know it. And frankly, that makes me a little nervous.",
"Phoebe: I promise you, you will not be nervous once you see what I saw. Trust me.",
"Piper, Phoebe: \"What's mine is yours, what's yours is mine, I offer up my gift to share, switch our powers through the air.\"",

"Zankou: Nah.",
"(Leo orbs in and zaps Zankou from behind. Zankou flames out.)",
"Leo: What happened? Why didn't you fire back?",
"Piper: Go ahead, tell him.",
"Phoebe: We sort of lost our powers.",
"[Scene: Manor. Piper, Phoebe and Leo are walking down the stairs.]",
"Phoebe: Maybe we should try calling for our powers.",
"Piper: We already tried that.",
"Phoebe: Maybe we should try again.",
"Leo: Piper, where are you going?",
"Piper: The powers went out the window, didn't they?",
"Leo: So you expect to find them laying around on the front lawn?",
"Piper: Don't get smart with me, mister. This was not my idea.",
"Phoebe: I said I was sorry. I was just trying to get you to see what I saw.",
"Piper: And now I can see that we are going to die. I don't need your powers for that.",
"Leo: Maybe you should try scrying for them.",
"Piper: Why would that work?",
"Leo: Because they're alive. They still exist somewhere.",
"Phoebe: Somewhere? Somewhere, where, like in people?",
"Leo: Two very surprised people.",
"Piper: Oh, we gotta get Paige back here before Zankou attacks again.",
"Leo: We can't. After they find out who killed Kyle's parents.",
"Phoebe: How did he know to attack us right when we were about to switch powers?",
"Leo: He must have sensed you were vulnerable.",
"Phoebe: Now I know why the Source locked him up.",
"Piper: You need to take the kids to Magic School right away.",
"Leo: And leave you alone without powers?",
"Piper: You have to, there's no other option. We'll call you if we need you. But you gotta get them out of here. (Leo orbs out.) And we need to find our powers. (They hear a noise outside. Piper opens the door and sees small explosions inside the house across the road.) I think I just found mine.",
"Phoebe: I'm going to find my powers.",
"[Scene: Underworld. Cave. Zankou is there meditating in front of a fire pit.]",
"Zankou: One of them's found her powers already, which means the other one will as well.",
"Laygan: Does that mean we've missed our chance?",
"Zankou: Not necessarily.",
"Laygan: With all do respect, you said you knew when the Charmed Ones would be at their most vulnerable.",
"Zankou: They were vulnerable. I sensed it. I just didn't anticipate the Elder coming to their rescue.",
"Laygan: Maybe we should rethink things a little, maybe go after the Avatars instead.",
"Zankou: With their powers we wouldn't stand a chance.",
"Laygan: Some of us think we would.",
"(Zankou throws energy balls at the group of demons standing near by, vanquishing them.)",
"Zankou: Now they don't think that.",
"Laygan: If you're still going after the witches, how do we get past the Elder?",
"Zankou: By letting the other Elders know he's not really one of them anymore.",

"Kyle: Yeah.",
"Paige: All right, then, Kevin, we should really be going.",
"(Jack hangs up the phone.)",
"Jack: We should too. That was customs. The manifest for the Cairo shipment is missing. They're gonna destroy the shipment unless we get down there and identify them.",

"Paige: That's not the reason. We came to see who killed them, not to save them.",
"Kyle: All my life I just used to think that if I could just talk to my parents one more time, five minutes, even that would be enough. I don't know, I don't think I can just sit back and watch my parents die.",

"Phoebe: No, of course not. I'm just here to help you.",
"Man: Look, lady, no offence, but I don't think you can help me, okay? Oh, no, no, not the bowling trophy! (The woman throws the trophy over the balcony.) You broke my... (He gets another premonition.) Who the hell are you?",

"Zankou: I believe his name is... Leo. Ring any Elder bells?",
"Kheel: He's not an Avatar.",
"Zankou: Sure, he is. He just doesn't want you to know it. Probably because he's planning on betraying you. But then again, I'm not one to gossip. I'm sure if you look back at it, it has to make a lot of sense, doesn't it?",
"Kheel: You have any proof?",
"Zankou: I saw his powers. More to the point, I... felt his powers. They made yours seem feeble.",
"Sandra: Why are you telling us this now? What do you hope to gain?",
"Zankou: My life... and those of my fellow demons. You see, the one thing you and I have in common is the Avatar's threat. If they come to power, you will be out, and we will be gone.

"Piper: And then you can go home and never tell anyone ever, ever, ever about this, okay? Sounds good, huh?",
"Phoebe: Gather around.",
"Ronnie: Hold on, wait, wait, wait. What if say you wanted to use powers for something besides fighting demons? Like, uh, winning the lottery?",
"Phoebe: No, my premonitions are bigger than that.",
"Ronnie: What's bigger than winning the lottery?",
"Denise: How about getting back at people who were really mean to you? Ever do that?",
"Piper: No, no, 'cause that's under the category of personal gain and with the risk of exposure, those are really bad things in the witch world.",

"Kyle: I'm not saying anything to him that he doesn't already know. Trust me.",

"Phoebe: I'm gonna try to get him to see what I've been trying to get you to see.",
"Piper: How the hell are you gonna do that with no powers?",

"While the Avatars prepare to transform the world into a Utopia, the Charmed Ones work overtime eliminating demons as part of the alliance. Kyle remains skeptical and quarrels with Paige stimulating questions in which they inform the Charmed Ones that the human world must be put to sleep so that they can kill any remaining demons. Although Kyle now knows the Avatars didn't murder his parents, he still doubts their good intentions. He calls the Elders for help but is instead kidnapped by Zankou. In order to convince Kyle to help him stop the Avatars, Zankou summons and vanquishes the demons who murdered Kyle's parents. In return, Kyle reluctantly agrees to help Zankou stop the change by placing a paranoia spell on Piper, Phoebe and Paige. During the Utopian transformation, Kyle uses Paige's paranoia to lure and kill an Avatar. However, he pays a high price for his actions as he's killed by Beta as he kills her. As a result of his death, the Avatars include the Charmed Ones in the sleep spell so they can't interfere."

"(She gives him a quick kiss.)",
"Kyle: Hey.",

"(She walks over to the potion table.)",
"Kyle: So, uh, what's going on here?",
"Paige: Just scrambling. We've been on quite a roll knocking off these demons, thanks to the Avatars.",
"Kyle: The Avatars.",
"Paige: Yeah. They've been great helping us find these demons. Can't pick 'em off fast enough.",
"Kyle: I guess that's why you haven't returned any of my phone calls?",
"Paige: I'm sorry, I just assumed that you knew.",
"Kyle: Knew what?",
"Paige: Well, that I was helping them.",
"Kyle: Creating Utopia. Right.",
"Paige: Is that a bad thing? (He gives her a look.) Look, I thought when we figured out they didn't kill your parents...",
"Kyle: Look, it still doesn't mean they're still not a threat, Paige.",
"Paige: Come on.",
"Kyle: It doesn't change the ten years I spent learning who they really are, or why people fought them off for thousands of years before us.",
"Paige: Haven't we been over this?",
"Kyle: Obviously not enough.",
"Paige: Actually, you know what, Kyle? I think we have. I'm sorry that you don't or won't understand. But my sisters and I, we actually do. Everything... Everything the Avatars have said or done has been totally legit. They didn't force this on us. It's something we really want for everybody.",
"Kyle: All right. All right. So how's this gonna happen? The change, I mean.",
"Paige: Well, they, uh... They're gonna help us write a spell.",
"Kyle: What kind of spell?",
"Paige: I don't know yet.",
"Kyle: You don't know? They're getting you to remake the freakin' world and you don't know?",
"Paige: I've been a little busy.",

"Paige: I think it's more important to get rid of as many demons as possible.",
"Kyle: Well, did you at least check with the Elders?",
"Paige: No. I don't think they would understand. (She kisses him.) If you'll excuse me, I have one more demon to go after. Okay?",
"(She orbs out. Kyle starts flipping through the Book of Shadows.)",
"Kyle: Come on. Elders, Elders, Elders. (He finds the page on Elders in the Book. He closes his eyes.) I beg you, if you can hear me. I can help you stop the Avatars. I still have a vanquishing potion. (Suddenly, he gets sucked into the floor and appears in Zankou's cave.) Are you an Elder?",

"Zankou: About the potion...",
"Kyle: Yeah. Look, it won't, it won't kill you. Not unless you're an Avatar.",
"Zankou: Which is exactly why I want it. See, you and I have a lot in common. We both wish to stop what they're trying to do. We both desire to keep things as they are, yes? In order to do that, we're going to have to work together. With the Avatars' help, the Charmed Ones are decimating our ranks. We must stop them before they find us too.",
"Kyle: I'm not helping you hurt the sisters.",
"Zankou: I don't wanna harm them.",
"Laygan: At least not yet. I mean, uh, we need them to help stop the Avatars, right?",
"Zankou: Remind me why I tolerate you again?",
"Laygan: Because you're running low on demons?",
"Kyle: Look, I don't know what you guys are getting at, but you got the wrong idea here. I'm not gonna help you. I can't. I won't. I mean, you're demons.",
"Zankou: Yes. Yes we are. Which makes us, for better or worse, fundamental to the Grand Design. It keeps things in balance. It gives the necessary contrast to all that you covet, to all that is good. And therein lies our mutual problem. You see, without the one, there can't be the other. Without evil, there can be no good. That is why I think you want to stop the Avatars just as much as I do.",
"Kyle: Okay. How?",
"Zankou: Your potion can kill one of them, which might just weaken the rest enough for us to kill them. The problem is the Avatars have insulated themselves now. Only the sisters can get to them, and only you can reach the sisters.",
"Kyle: I'm not going after Leo again. Paige'll kill me.",
"Zankou: He's not the only Avatar.",

"Paige: Yeah, but on the other hand, we've already got most of the high-level demons. Isn't that enough?",
"Alpha: No. We shouldn't go through with this until we can find him.",
"Gamma: Although we might not have a choice. The planetary alignment is correct for the change. The longer we wait...",
"Alpha: We still have time. We must keep looking.",
"Paige: Why? You said yourself we're not going to be able to knock off all of the demons beforehand. There will be others.",
"Alpha: But Zankou poses a unique threat. One that could bring enough conflict into Utopia to undermine it. And he's determined to do everything in his power to stop us.",
"Paige: He's not the only one. Um, just out of curiosity, the spell that we're gonna cast, what exactly does it do? Unless, they don't want us to know.",
"Gamma: We have nothing to hide, Paige.",

"Alpha: The spell will put everyone to sleep. But only for a few hours. Just long enough to erase the mindset of duality. Of good and evil.",

"Paige: I wanna make sure we've really thought this out.",

"Alpha: If it helps, Paige, we never intended that you or your sisters would join the others until much later.",
"Paige: Why?",
"Leo: Because there'll still be straggler demons. The ones that live and walk among us.",

"Phoebe: So we still have to fight demons?",
"Gamma: They'll be easy to spot while others are asleep, because they won't be.",

"Piper: He's right, you know.",
"Kyle: You don't have to do that. Use me as bait. Wait till he attacks again.",
"Paige: No, what if we're too late next time?",
"Kyle: Well, so you are, I mean... You don't have to change the whole world just to save me.",
"Paige: Don't we? Look, every demon that tries to stop us makes me just want to get through it faster. Let's just... do this.",
"Kyle: Paige, look, I don't...",
"Paige: No, my mind is made up. Besides, I think it's for the best.",
"Piper: Tell them we're ready. (Leo orbs out.) Uh, I'll go see where Phoebe is.",
"(Piper leaves the attic.)",
"Kyle: I can't let you do this.",
"Paige: You don't have a choice, honey. Besides, how bad can a place called Utopia be?",
"(Paige starts to leave.)",
"Kyle: Wait. (The crystal in his hand glows.) I'm sorry.",
"(He kisses her and their lips spark.)",
"Paige: Mm. What was that?",
"Kyle: What?",
"Paige: You didn't feel that?",
"Kyle: No, it must have been static electricity. Don't be so paranoid.",
"Paige: Okay.",
"[Scene: Kyle's Apartment. Kyle walks in. He goes to the fridge and Zankou walks out of a room.]",
"Kyle: Oh, god!",
"Zankou: So... How did it go?",
"Kyle: This better work.",
"Zankou: I agree, for both our sakes. I see the Avatar's healed your wound. Too bad you didn't use the potion on him right there and then. None of this would have been necessary.",
"Kyle: How do I reverse the paranoia?",
"Zankou: Patience. All in good time.",
"Kyle: Look, I held up my end of the deal.",
"Zankou: As have I. You know, the problem with you humans is your conscience. You're all always so conflicted. Demons, on the other hand, don't have such weakness.",
"Kyle: It's not weakness. It's how we stay honest. It's what helps us choose between good and you.",
"Zankou: It also messes with your head. As it is clearly doing right now. Working with evil... to preserve good. It would give me a headache.",
"Kyle: What do you want? What are you doing here?",
"Zankou: I want the potion.",
"Kyle: Well, I'm not giving it to you. I'm not gonna use it either. Not until I know the sisters are safe.",
"Zankou: Which won't be for a while, I'm afraid. Not until the full effects of the paranoia take hold. To that end, I suggest you come with me.",
"Kyle: Why?",
"Zankou: We wouldn't want you falling asleep with everyone else, now would we? No. You are going to be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back.",
"(Zankou flames out with Kyle.)",
"[Scene: Magic School. Paige is there putting books on the shelves. Piper walks in.]",
"Piper: Uh, hello? What are you doing?",
"Paige: You know, just trying to organise some books. Just in case.",
"Piper: Now? Everybody's waiting for you.",
"Paige: Yeah, but I might not have a chance to do this afterwards.",
"Piper: Uh, to do what?",
"Paige: These are books on demons. We might not need them if there are no demons. What if they come back? Then we'll have to have them again. I better put them all back.",
"Piper: Uh, sweetie, you don't really seem like yourself.",
"Paige: I don't? Who am I?",
"Piper: No, I mean... You're stalling. You know what, it's okay. We know what we're doing. We're ready for this.",
"Paige: You sure? What if something goes wrong?",
"Piper: Well, then we'll fix it like we always do. Come on. (Piper touches Paige's arm and gets zapped.) Ah! What was that?",
"Paige: What was what?",
"Piper: That!",
"Paige: Well, I don't know. Why don't you tell me?",
"Piper: Come on, everybody's waiting.",
"Paige: Everybody.",
"(They walk into another room.)",
"Phoebe: Hey, I was just looking for you guys.",
"Piper: Why, what's wrong?",
"Phoebe: Nothing's wrong. I just wanna know what happened.",
"Paige: Nothing happened. I think that's the problem.",
"Phoebe: What? Are you feeling okay? (Phoebe touches Paige's forehead and gets zapped.) Oh! What was that?",
"Paige: See?",
"Piper: See what?",
"(Piper looks around.)",
"Leo: (to the Avatars) Guys... do you mind?",
"Alpha: Are you ready?",
"Phoebe: Yeah, I think so.",
"Paige: Is there something that we should know that we don't know? You know?",
"Alpha: No, Paige.",
"Piper: Wait. We forgot about Zankou. What if he attacks?",
"Phoebe: That's true. What if he does attack?",
"Paige: Maybe we shouldn't do this.",
"Leo: Okay, what is wrong with you guys? We discussed this.",
"Gamma: You'll still have your powers afterwards. If Zankou attacks, you'll be prepared.",
"Alpha: In fact, he'll be more exposed than ever. Especially as you continue to thin out the demonic ranks.",
"Phoebe: How do we know you're not lying to us?",
"Leo: Okay, let's... Let's do this.",
"Alpha: Very well.",
"(Alpha waves his hand and Beta appears.)",
"Piper: Whoa! Where'd you come from?",
"Leo: They're a little nervous.",
"Beta: I understand. Place your hands on the cartouche. It's okay.",
"(Piper, Phoebe and Paige hold the cartouche. The Avatars and Leo stand around the girls with their arms out, forming a circle. They close their eyes. The cartouche glows and lets out a orange/yellow beam of light.)",

"[Cut to Magic School. The cartouche stops glowing.]",

"Phoebe: I mean, is everyone okay? You sure nobody's hurt?",
"Beta: The effect was gradual. They all fell asleep gently and safely.",
"Piper: How do you know that for sure?",
"Beta: Do you see anybody who's been harmed in any way?",
"Piper: Well, that doesn't rule out internal injuries.",
"Leo: Piper.",
"Piper: What?",
"Paige: So everybody's like this everywhere all around the world?",
"Beta: All around the world.",
"Phoebe: What about the aeroplanes and helicopters? How do we know they landed safely?",
"Leo: Look, I'm sure the Avatars took care of that. Relax. What's gotten into you guys?",
"Phoebe: Well, I think we have a right to be jumpy with everything that's going on, don't you think?",
"Beta: Perhaps it would help to focus on the straggler demons. They hide amongst your kind. Which means if there are any nearby, they're only pretending to be asleep.",
"Phoebe: I shoulda known.",
"Piper: Why don't they just leave?",
"Beta: Because they've got no place else left to go.",
"Paige: Uh, over there, he moved.",
"Phoebe: What? What? Where? Which one?",
"Paige: That one in the bad suit.",
"(Phoebe goes to throw a potion.)",
"Beta: Oh, you must be certain.",
"Phoebe: Okay. Go be certain.",
"(Paige walks over to the man in the suit and nudges him. Nothing happens. Paige starts to walk away and the man gets up.)",
"Leo: Paige, look out!",
"(The man throws a fireball and Piper blows him up.)",
"Paige: Well, at least I know I'm not paranoid.",
"Leo: All right, so how long until the transformation is complete?",
"Beta: Two hours. Which means we should get back until it's safe.",
"Leo: Well, I'm not leaving them here alone. Don't worry, Beta, I'll be fine. (Beta disappears.) All right, let's split up. We'll find more demons that way. Piper, Paige, Phoebe and me. Any sign of trouble, orb back to the manor. Got it?",
"Paige: Got it.",
"(Phoebe and Leo walk off.)",
"Piper: Why do you think he didn't wanna go with me? Do you think he's seeing someone else?",

"Kyle: I don't understand, what are we waiting for?",

"Zankou: That... is what we're waiting for. Your death will not have been in vain, my friend. I promise you.",
"(Zankou waves his hands and the demon disappears.)",
"Kyle: What the hell was that all about?",
"Zankou: He saw what I needed to see. Now I know which Avatar we'll be flushing out, and you'll be killing.",
"Kyle: What? How?",
"Zankou: I'm gonna need a volunteer.",
"Laygan: Does it have to be me?",
"Zankou: No.",
"Laygan: Oh, good. I'll get right on it.",
"Kyle: I don't like this. I don't like being kept in the dark about what's going on.",
"Zankou: What are you gonna do?",
"Kyle: Not kill an Avatar, for one.",
"Zankou: Then you'll die.",
"Kyle: Yeah, well, better me than the sisters, right?",
"Zankou: How many times do I tell you, I'm not after them.",
"Kyle: Then why won't you tell me what I'm doing down here?",
"Zankou: That's what you get when you make a deal with the devil.",
"Kyle: I'm not doing anything until I know the sisters are all right.",
"Zankou: They're still alive, if that's what you mean, their paranoia growing.",
"Kyle: What are we waiting for?",
"Zankou: The opportune time to show yourself...",
"(Zankou touches Kyle's shoulder and flames out with him.)",
"[Cut to Kyle's Apartment. They flame in.]",
"Zankou: Which nears.",
"Kyle: When?",
"Zankou: When I send one of the sisters to you here. The one you care so much about.",
"Kyle: How does that flush out the Avatars?",
"Zankou: Just say they wanted you to stay awake. Tell her it was the female Avatar, Beta. Your girlfriend will get so paranoid she'll demand an explanation. When the Avatar shows up to give her one, that's when you strike with the potion. Don't miss. You won't get a second chance.",
"Kyle: First, how do I reverse the paranoia?",
"(Zankou laughs.)",
"Zankou: You are persistent, aren't you? Very well. You break the crystal. The sisters will revert immediately.",
"Kyle: That's it?",
"Zankou: That's it.",
"Kyle: So why didn't you tell me this before?",
"Zankou: Same reason you didn't tell me where the potion was. Leverage. Remember... don't miss.",

"[Scene: Street. Phoebe and Leo are looking for straggler demons.]",
"Leo: Phoebe, are you sure you're all right?",
"Phoebe: Yeah, I'm fine. I just... I have a bad feeling about this.",
"Leo: You've had a bad feeling about everything.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but I have a really bad feeling about this. You sure we're not being set up?",
"Leo: Phoebe, not this again.",
"Phoebe: I'm serious. What if the Avatars are like the Trojan horse? Remember the Trojan horse?",
"Leo: Phoebe...",
"Phoebe: They come into your life pretending to be the gift, but what they really want to do is kill you.",
"Leo: This really isn't like you.",
"Phoebe: Leo. Listen to me, okay? It's the ultimate conspiracy. Think about if for... (She hears a noise.) What was that?",
"Leo: It was nothing. Look, you need to calm down.",
"Phoebe: I am very calm, okay? I just can't help what I'm feeling, and what I'm feeling right now is... Demons! (Two demons stand up and throw energy balls at Leo. Phoebe hides. They shimmer out. Phoebe comes out of her hiding place.) I'm sorry. I'm sorry, again.",

"Paige: You're making me crazy.",
"Piper: What is wrong with us? (Beta appears and scares Piper. Piper tries to blow her up and Beta falls backwards onto the ground. Beta gets up, not impressed.) Oh, sorry.",
"Paige: You okay?",
"Beta: Yes. But I'm afraid that your friend may not be. Kyle?",
"Paige: What's wrong with him?",
"Beta: We don't know. All we know is that he didn't fall asleep like everyone else did.",
"Piper: What does that mean?",
"Beta: That means that Zankou must have gotten to him again. Shielded him from us.",
"Piper: But why?",
"Paige: Because he thinks he still has the potion. I should never have left him alone.",
"(Paige orbs out.)",
"Piper: Hey! You can't leave me here alone!",

"Kyle: Yeah. I'm right here.",
"Paige: You okay? Did he hurt you?",
"Kyle: Did who hurt me?",
"Paige: Zankou. Come on, we have to get you out of here.",
"Kyle: Wait. Why?",
"Paige: Because he thinks you have the potion. He'll kill you.",
"Kyle: Don't you think he would have killed me by now?",
"Paige: Well, that's why he's keeping you awake. Because he thinks you still have it.",
"Kyle: He's not the one keeping me awake, Paige. It's the Avatars. It's Beta.",
"Paige: Okay, but she said Zankou did it.",
"Kyle: Maybe you ought to call her here.",
"Paige: Beta!",
"(Beta appears.)",
"Beta: What's the matter? Why isn't he asleep?",
"Paige: You told me Zankou did it.",
"Beta: I did not.",
"Paige: Yes, you did. What the hell is going on? (Kyle throws the crystal on the floor and it smashes.) What was that?",
"Kyle: I wanted to make sure you were back to normal before I...",
"Paige: Before what?",
"(Kyle takes out the Avatar vanquishing potion. Beta sees it and zaps Kyle with bolts of electricity. Kyle is thrown backwards and drops the vial. The vial releases a grey smoke and it enters Beta's body. She falls to the floor. Paige goes to Kyle and starts to cry.)",

"Paige: It's not gonna end this way. I promise. I'm gonna call for help...",
"Kyle: No. You can't call for Leo.",
"Paige: Why?",
"Kyle: Because he's vulnerable. They all are. Zankou will kill them.",
"Paige: Why did you do this?",
"Kyle: To stop them.",
"Paige: Leo!",
"(Alpha and Gamma appear.)",
"Alpha: He can't hear you, Paige. He's been affected by what's happened. We all have.",
"Paige: Can't you just rewind time? Just go back and fix it?",
"Alpha: I'm sorry, Paige. We've come too far to go back now.",
"Paige: But he's dying.",
"Alpha: Yes, and he's weakened the collective. Risked losing all we've worked to create.",
"Gamma: The demon will try to take advantage of this to stop us.",
"Alpha: He won't be able to if we consolidate power. Complete the transformation.",
"Paige: What the hell are you talking about? What about him?",
"Alpha: The needs of the one... must be sacrificed for the good of the many. You'll understand soon.",
"Paige: I did not sign up for this experiment so you could play God! So, you fix this right now!",

"Leo: What have you done to her?",
"Alpha: The same thing that's been done to everyone else.",
"Leo: They weren't supposed to turn yet. Not until they were ready.",
"Gamma: We had no choice.",
"Leo: What do you mean you didn't have a choice? You can't do this.",
"Gamma: Beta's dead, Leo.",
"Leo: What?",
"Alpha: It's why you feel less powerful. Why we all do.",
"Leo: But how did...?",
"Alpha: It seems that Agent Brody had another potion, after all. One that both he and Zankou hoped to bring down Utopia with, before it even began.",
"Gamma: But we can't let that happen. The sooner we complete the transformation, the less chance he has of succeeding.",
"Alpha: Which is why we need the power of the Charmed Ones with us. Now more than ever. I'm sure you understand.",
"Leo: But we were supposed to talk to them first.",
"Alpha: Ideally, yes. But Paige was inconsolable. Agent Brody is dead as well. We must press on, Leo. Now, or Zankou will win. All that we've done will have been for naught. We can still give them the world they've always wanted, Leo. The happiness they've never known. The happiness you've never known. But we must move quickly. And as one.",
"Leo: I just... I don't see how Paige is gonna be happy after what happened.",
"Gamma: She'll understand.",
"Alpha: Everyone will understand, that those who bring conflict into the world cannot be tolerated.",

"Laygan: Well?",
"Zankou: Utopia has begun.",
"Laygan: What's that mean? We're screwed?",
"Zankou: The Avatars have turned on the witches sooner than I anticipated. We can't change things back without their help.",
"Laygan: Then we've gotta get out of here. They'll be coming for us too.",
"Zankou: No, we have time.",
"Laygan: How do you figure? It's over, Zankou. We don't stand a chance in this new world.",

"Piper: Well, as you know, I've been more than ready for this for a long time.",
"(Phoebe comes down the stairs.)",
"Phoebe: Hey. I feel great. Don't you guys feel great?",
"Piper: Yeah, pretty amazing.",
"Phoebe: It's so weird, I remember the old way. You know, the demon battling and everything, but I'm just not stressed about it anymore.",
"Piper: Yeah, that's because we don't have to worry about demons anymore, which leaves us a little time to live a little. Where are the boys?",
"Leo: Magic School. Are you sure you're okay with this?",
"Phoebe: Leo, of course, are you kidding? How could we not be?",
"(Paige orbs in.)",
"Paige: Hi.",
"Piper: Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry.",
"Phoebe: Me too. (Piper and Phoebe go over to her and put their arms around her.) How you doing? You hanging in there?",
"Paige: Yeah. Yeah, I'm holding up. It's, um... pretty damn sad. But he's going on to a better place, right? I'm gonna go upstairs and rest.",

"While the Charmed Ones enjoy their new conflict-free world, Leo learns that in order for the Avatars to protect their Utopian world, they also control everyone's destiny by deciding who lives and dies. Wanting to stop the Avatars, Leo joins forces with Zankou to undo the change. Paige receives a special surprise and Leo's fate relies on the Elders. In the end, Leo's death shocks the sisters back to reality and they team up with Zankou to stop the Avatars. Using information that Zankou found in an ancient tomb, they make the Avatar killing potion and confront the Avatars with it. The Avatars, realizing that humanity is not ready for them yet, use the last of their power to rewind time to when Utopia started. Doing so breaks the Utopia spell and returns all those killed by the Avatars, including Leo who is stripped of his Avatar powers, but still remains an Elder. The Avatars are too weak to rewind time far enough to save Kyle and Paige goes to his apartment where she is shocked to find him apparently alive. The Elders have made him a Whitelighter for his actions against the Avatars and he says a final goodbye to Paige before orbing out."

"Gamma: Of course there will be a transitional period. But soon they will begin to understand that they no longer have to worry about evil, security, conflict, that this world is here to stay.",
"Alpha: Is it not what we spoke of, Leo?",
"Leo: It's impressive.",
"Alpha: And you know, the only threat to Utopia, to all that we've created here is conflict. And that, Leo, we simply cannot abide.",
"Leo: I don't know, it's just the way the sisters reacted, especially Paige.",
"Gamma: She grieves.",
"Leo: I know, but not the way she's supposed to. It's just... It doesn't seem right.",

"Elise: Oh, I'm all for that. But I've been working here so long, I don't believe it. Something always happens.",
"Phoebe: Maybe. Or maybe it's a shame when we don't trust when good things happen.",
"Elise: What a nice thought. Now you should write about that in your next column. Best advice you could give your readers.",
"Phoebe: Okay, but I gotta go home to do it. Tell Oliver I'll email it to him around six-ish, okay?",
"Elise: Oliver. That's the only bad thing that happened today. Well, not bad for him, of course, just for us.",
"Phoebe: What happened?",
"Elise: I got a call from his family about an hour ago. He's gone. It happened early this morning.",
"Phoebe: Oh my god.",
"Elise: He was such a troubled young man. I really hoped he could turn things around.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, me too.",
"Elise: Well, at least we can take heart that he's in a much better place now.",
"Phoebe: Yeah. I guess so.",
"[Scene: Inside a Pyramid. Leo and Zankou are there.]",
"Leo: Mind telling me where we are?",
"Zankou: In an ancient tomb in an ancient pyramid where no one, especially not the Avatars, are gonna look for us.",
"Leo: Why bring me here?",
"Zankou: To show you the truth. To show you why you never should have turned your back on the Elders. And to decide whether or not you're willing to help me stop the Avatars.",
"Leo: Why would I help a demon?",
"Zankou: Because it is by far the better of your options. You could either work to change things back, or you can repeat the mistakes of the past. (They look at the drawings on the wall.) The Avatars were here before, thousands of years ago, when people believed in magic and demons. The Avatars promised to rid them of evil on that level, same as now. They were more or less successful. They remade the world, but they never told people of the ultimate costs.",
"Leo: Who's that? The dog-headed figure, is that a demon?",
"Zankou: Actually, that's a jackal's head. He's Anubis, the Egyptian guardian and protector of the dead. There's a price to pay for Utopia. A price that you suspect but don't yet know about. They knew about it though, and they rose up against the Avatars and stopped them the first time for good reason.",
"Leo: Maybe so, but I...",
"Zankou: Agent Brody realised the danger that the Avatars pose too. That's why he was willing to help me weaken them so that I could bring you here, so that you could help. He was willing to sacrifice everything to stop them.",
"Leo: Brody was crazed.",
"Zankou: Brody was right. You know, deep down, that there is something very wrong with this world, Leo. Something you never foresaw in your own myopic zeal to try and make it all better. People have no free will anymore. At least not completely. The Avatars now dictate their destinies. And you let it happen. The question is, are you willing to fix it?",
"Leo: To do what, get back what we had before? Fight your kind again?",
"Zankou: Well, nobody said the system was perfect, did they? But it's better than this, isn't it? You decide for yourself and decide soon. If we are to work together, we're gonna have to move quickly.",
"(Leo orbs out.)",
"[Cut to a black and white room. Avatars are standing around a circular table with holographic images in the centre of it. Leo orbs in.]",
"Alpha: Leo. Welcome. How are the sisters? Content, I trust?",
"Leo: They seemed okay. (Alpha nods.) What is this place?",
"Alpha: This is where we maintain Utopia. Come. (Alpha shows Leo the table.) These are the others. You've felt them though you haven't yet met.",
"Leo: What are they doing?",
"Gamma: Monitoring for conflict.",
"(An angry woman in the hologram is yelling. The Avatars shake their hands.)",
"Leo: I don't understand.",
"Alpha: In bringing this all about, we've modified the way people think, their belief systems, so that they can more easily accept a world without evil. So that they wouldn't keep looking for it.",
"Gamma: And so that the demons who remain couldn't influence them into evil acts.",
"Alpha: Unfortunately, however, some have already been damaged beyond hope. Their inner demons sometimes surface, causing... conflict.",
"Gamma: And when that conflict passes a certain threshold, we must deal with it.",
"Alpha: To protect Utopia.",
"(On the hologram, two men are fighting. There are people around watching. The two men suddenly vanish. The people watching shrug and move on as though nothing happened.)",
"Leo: Wait. You killed them.",
"Gamma: We removed them. The one for the many.",
"Alpha: We have an obligation to maintain the world that we've created, Leo. We can't let anything threaten it, and we won't.",
"[Scene: Manor. Foyer. Phoebe walks in through the front door. She walks into the dining room and the table is covered with food.]",
"Phoebe: Wow. Wow. Ooh!",
"(Piper walks in.)",
"Piper: No, no! No! No touchie-touchie.",
"Phoebe: I just want to make sure it's not poison.",
"Piper: No, I want everything to be perfect. We've waited a long time for this day.",
"Phoebe: Piper, everything is perfect. It looks amazing. I can't believe you did all of this since I left.",
"Piper: When I'm not mixing vanquishing potions all the time, I tend to get a lot more done. I forgot how much I like cooking.",
"Phoebe: We're all good.",
"Piper: Yeah, as long as Leo makes it to the party.",
"Phoebe: I thought he was just going over to Paige's?",
"Piper: I did too, but she came back without him and now she's upstairs getting ready.",
"Phoebe: Well, maybe he had some Avatar stuff to do?",
"Piper: I hope the Avatars don't keep him as busy as the Elders did.",
"Phoebe: I don't think he'd put up with that, Piper, and you know it. He created this better world so that you guys could be together again as a family.",
"Piper: Still, I worry.",
"Phoebe: And next to cooking, that's the second thing you do best.",
"(Paige walks in.)",
"Paige: Hey.",
"Phoebe: Hey, how you doing?",
"Paige: Better. Thanks. Yeah. I am really looking forward to this party. You know, take my mind off stuff. I just need to remind myself Kyle's in a better place, right?",
"Phoebe: Yeah, that's what I have to remind myself. This guy at work, he just went away. It was really unexpected.",
"Piper: Well, I'm sure it must all be for the best, you know. Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened.",
"Phoebe: Right.",
"Piper: Well, anyway, why don't you go help the kids get dressed, their clothes are laid out, and you can help me in the kitchen. Come on, chop-chop, we have a party to throw.",
"[Scene: Inside a Pyramid. Zankou is there. Laygan appears.]",
"Zankou: I'm concentrating.",
"Laygan: Yes, I'm sorry. This is important.",
"Zankou: So is this. Somewhere in these drawings is the key to the potion Brody used against the Avatars.",
"Laygan: Well, I'm glad to see that you're using your energy wisely. But the others are restless. They don't wanna sit around and die like dogs, while we wait around for the help of someone good.",
"Zankou: Are you questioning my plan?",
"Laygan: No. Not at all. Zankou, we're demons. We need to stand up and fight them on our own, not just sit around and wait.",
"Zankou: That's just the point. We can't fight on our own. We don't have the power. Like it or not, our fate rests with Leo.",
"Laygan: Oh, yeah? Then we'd rather die than leave our trust in the hands of an Elder.",
"Zankou: Then we will surely die. You tell the others that they do as I say, when I say it, or the Avatars will be the least of their problems. You understand me?",
"Laygan: Yes.",
"Zankou: Now leave. He's coming. (Laygan disappears. Leo orbs in.) Welcome back, partner.",
"Leo: We're not partners.",
"Zankou: Oh, no? Then what are you doing here?",
"Leo: I'm still not so sure.",
"Zankou: Ah, yes, you are. You may not want to but that doesn't change the fact everything I told you about your precious Avatars is true. Now you want to stop them as much as I do.",
"Leo: I'm not so eager to bring demons back into the world.",
"Zankou: Ah, but there's the rub. Which world is worse? Which is the greater evil, mine or theirs?",
"Leo: I know taking destiny out of people's hands is not right no matter what.",
"Zankou: I couldn't agree more.",
"Leo: Let's make something clear. If we succeed, we'll still be enemies, and I can make you a promise it will only be a matter of time before good defeats evil.",
"Zankou: Well, we'll have to see about that, won't we? Now if you're finished with the macho posturing, let's get to work. The problem is, even if I decipher these, we're still gonna need the Charmed Ones to actually prepare the potion.",
"Leo: They won't go against the Avatars. They wanted this world.",
"Zankou: Not if they discover the catch. Not if they realise that the Avatars alone decide who lives or dies. Now of course you know the sisters better than I do, but I doubt even they want that. Which means you're gonna have to get them to see what the Avatars don't want them to see. Even if it will take you shocking them with another terrible loss.",
"[Scene: Manor. Bedroom. Phoebe is with Wyatt and Chris.]",
"Phoebe: (to Chris) Okay, you wait there. (She goes over to Wyatt.) We are going to have so much fun today. You're gonna meet so many new friends at the party. But you can't orb, okay? You have to promise me. We don't want to scare the guests away, got it? (Leo orbs in.) Like that.",
"Leo: Phoebe, we need to talk.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, you need to get ready for the party before your wife kills you. Figuratively speaking, of course.",
"Leo: See, that right there. That's what I'm talking about.",
"Phoebe: What are you saying?",
"Leo: I'm talking about the fact that what you said, you felt you had to qualify it.",
"Phoebe: Qualify what?",
"Leo: I'm talking about the Avatars and what they've done to you, what they've done to everybody.",
"Phoebe: Everything's better. You've made everything better.",
"Leo: No, that was a mistake. I realise that now. I need you to realise that, before what happens to Brody happens to someone else we care about.",
"Phoebe: Leo, you're scaring me.",
"Leo: Good, you need to be scared because it's the only way you're gonna understand the truth, the only way you're gonna be able to feel it. You can help Piper and Paige understand, use your powers to feel the loss, to see what the Avatars are doing is wrong.",
"Phoebe: Leo, this is what we all wanted. What's going on?",
"(Leo turns on the baby monitor.)",
"Leo: You'll see.",
"(Leo grabs Phoebe's arm.)",
"Phoebe: What... What are you doing?",
"(Leo orbs out with Phoebe.)",
"[Cut to Kyle's Apartment. Leo orbs in with Phoebe.]",
"Phoebe: Leo, you can't just... (Leo picks up the snow globe.) What are we doing here?",
"Leo: I need you to get a vision. I need you to see what really happened to Agent Brody.",
"Phoebe: I know what really happened to him. He's moved on to a better place.",
"Leo: Maybe so, but it doesn't change the fact that somebody killed him.",
"(Phoebe sighs. She takes the snow globe and gets a premonition of Beta killing Kyle.)",
"Phoebe: Oh my god. She killed him.",
"Leo: Yes. The Avatars don't want you to know that, Phoebe. They don't want you to know why people just suddenly disappear.",
"Phoebe: Why are you doing this?",
"Leo: Because it's the truth, Phoebe. They changed you so you couldn't feel the true pain of death. They want it to seem like a good thing, so the next time it happens you don't even question it.",
"Phoebe: No.",
"Leo: Yes, and it's gonna happen again, Phoebe, as soon as they decide somebody in the world is creating too much conflict.",
"Phoebe: Leo, we're not going back to the way it was. Okay? We tried it for seven years, and it just didn't work.",
"Leo: Phoebe, please...",
"Phoebe: No, Leo, listen to me, okay? We made the world a better place, and we're gonna live in it just the way it is now. Do you understand?",
"[Cut to the Avatars. They are watching the conversation through the hologram. Gamma looks at Alpha.]",
"Alpha: We just need to give him more time to understand.",
"Gamma: We're running out of time. If he turns them, everything could be lost. I think it's time we face the facts.",
"[Scene: Manor. Dining Room. The party has started. The guests are grabbing plates of food.]",

"Paige: Would you just stop fussing and enjoy yourself already?",
"Piper: I can't. I'm worried.",
"Paige: About what? Look, everybody seems to be having a great time. I didn't even know we knew this many people.",
"Piper: I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about Leo. He should have been here by now. Where the heck is Phoebe? She got the boys ready, and then she just took off.",
"Paige: Maybe they're together. Or maybe you just don't know how to have a good time anymore.",
"Piper: Is that a challenge?",
"Paige: If it works. (Phoebe and Leo walk down the stairs.) There. You happy?",
"Phoebe: I need a drink.",
"Paige: Hey, what's the matter?",
"Phoebe: I don't want to talk about it. I just want to have a good time.",
"(Phoebe walks away.)",
"Piper: (to Leo) What's going on?",
"Leo: Nothing.",
"Paige: Hey. (Piper gives her a look.) All right, then, I'll go mingle.",
"Piper: Leo, come on, what's wrong?",
"Leo: It's complicated.",
"Piper: It's the Avatars, isn't it? Look, if working for them is gonna be as complicated as working for the Elders, then I...",
"Leo: It's not that.",
"Piper: Then what is it? Okay, you know what? I don't want to know. (Zankou flames in near by.) We're here to celebrate our new life with no magic and no demons, (Laygan and two other demons smoke in) so why don't we just enjoy it? Leo, did you hear what I said? (Zankou flames out.) Are you listening to me? What is the matter with you?",
"Leo: Forgive me, Piper. If there was another way to do this, I would.",
"Piper: Do what? What are you talking about?",

"(The demons throw fireballs. Leo throws bolts of electricity at the two demons and vanquishes them.)",

"(Laygan throws a fireball at Leo and Leo deflects it. Electricity shoots out of Leo's hands and pins Laygan to the wall. He is then vanquished. Leo looks around at the frightened guests.)",
"Leo: (to Phoebe) Don't let them make you forget why I'm doing this, Phoebe. It's supposed to hurt. Go to the Book. Remember all the losses. Then go to Zankou.",
"Phoebe: Wait, Zankou?",
"(Leo vanishes. The guests get up and go back to chatting as though nothing happened.)",
"Paige: Piper, you all right?",
"Piper: I don't know. I guess so.",
"Paige: I'm really sorry about Leo.",
"Piper: Yeah, me too. But at least he's gone on to a better place.",

"[Scene: Manor. Foyer. Paige is at the door saying goodbye to the guests.]",
"Paige: I'm so sorry things got out of hand, guys.",
"[Cut to Piper and Phoebe in the dining room.]",
"Phoebe: Don't you think that was all a little weird?",
"Piper: Yeah, it was kinda touch-and-go for a second, when the demon attacked. But it all worked out okay.",
"Phoebe: Still, it seemed a little, I don't know, off.",
"Piper: Well, I certainly wasn't expecting any more attacks, but thank god Leo was there to take care of it.",
"Phoebe: Yes, it would have been nice if Leo didn't have to go to a better place in the process, you know.",
"Piper: I know, but... What he did, he did for his family, and for that I will always love him. (They walk into the kitchen.) Paige, can you make sure the boys are okay?",
"Phoebe: It's really impressive that you can stay so calm after such a shock.",
"Piper: Well, I'd be freaking out if I thought there were more demons out there. I'd like to think those days are finally behind us.",
"(Paige walks in and groans.)",
"Paige: I can't make them stop. They're so upset.",
"Piper: Well, it's understandable. We're all upset about demons being in the house.",

"(Paige sighs.)",
"Paige: What else would it be?",
"Piper: Okay, mummy's coming!",
"(Piper leaves the kitchen.)",
"Paige: Are you okay?",
"Phoebe: I don't know.",
"Paige: It's like Kyle, you know. It's really a big deal. We're never gonna forget him.",
"Leo's Voice: Don't let them make you forget why I'm doing this, Phoebe. It's supposed to hurt.",
"Phoebe: Never forget. I have to check the Book of Shadows for something. (Phoebe walks upstairs to the attic. She stops in front of the Book.) Come on, Phoebe.",
"(She slowly walks over to it.)",
"Leo's Voice: Remember all the losses.",
"(She touches the Book and receives a premonition of Andy's death, Grams' death, Miles' death, Piper's death in \"All Hell Breaks Loose\", Prue's funeral, Chris' death, and Cole's vanquish.)",
"Phoebe: Oh my god.",

"Paige: It's okay. Oh my gosh, I can't get them to calm down. Even Piper couldn't.",
"Phoebe: I can. Where's Piper?",
"Paige: She's in the kitchen.",
"(Phoebe walks into the kitchen.)",
"Phoebe: Piper, I really need to talk to you. The Avatars didn't tell us everything up front.",
"Piper: What?",
"Phoebe: Pain, grief, mourning. These are all things we're supposed to be feeling when we lose someone we love, like Leo.",
"Piper: Leo? Phoebe, he's moved on to a better place, and if you don't mind, I'd rather not dwell on such a painful memory.",
"Phoebe: Okay, but if he's in a better place, then why are the boys crying right now? It's not because of demons. They were practically raised around them.",
"Piper: Yes, well, but...",
"Phoebe: Piper, listen to me. Leo is dead. The Avatars killed him. And the boys are just too young to feel it the way we do, the way that we were programmed to feel it.",
"Piper: Programmed? Phoebe, what's gotten into you?",
"Phoebe: This is what Leo was trying to show us. Leo allowed the Avatars to kill him so that we could understand what's going on here.",
"Piper: I don't wanna hear this.",
"Phoebe: I know you don't wanna hear this, but listen to your boys. That's pain, and it's real.",
"Piper: Phoebe, stop.",
"Phoebe: Piper, how can you not see it? The only reason you're okay with all this was because you wanted to be with Leo. And now they've taken him away?",
"(Piper starts to cry.)",
"Piper: Why? Why would they do that?",
"Phoebe: Because Leo caused conflict. And this is the only way they could keep Utopia going.",
"[Cut to Kyle's Apartment. Paige orbs in with Piper and Phoebe.]",
"Paige: You better have a good reason for bringing me here because I don't wanna be here.",
"Phoebe: And that's exactly why were are here. Paige, Kyle died, and now it's time that you feel it.",
"Paige: I felt it. And it would have felt a lot worse, if I didn't know he'd gone on to a better place.",
"Piper: Well, that's the thing. It should have felt a lot worse. The Avatars made our pain go away after they killed Kyle.",
"Phoebe: I had a vision of him dying when I touched this. (She picks up the snow globe.) He attacked one of the Avatars with his potion, and she killed him. Do you remember that, Paige?",
"Paige: Why are you doing this to me?",
"Phoebe: He died right here, in your arms. I saw it, I felt it, and now you have to feel it too. Paige, it's the only way we can stop them.",
"Paige: I don't want to.",
"Piper: You have to. Just like I did.",
"(Paige starts to cry.)",
"Paige: I don't want to.",
"(Piper puts her arms around Paige.)",
"Piper: Shh, it's okay.",
"Paige: Why did they do this?",
"Phoebe: To give us what we wanted. What we thought we wanted.",
"Paige: What do we do now?",
"Phoebe: We're gonna do what Leo said... and go find ourselves a demon.",
"[Scene: Inside the Pyramid. Zankou is there studying the drawings on the wall. A demon walks up behind him.]",
"Demon: Sorry to interrupt, but...",
"Zankou: What is it?",
"Demon: Well, the others sent me to find out what we're gonna do.",
"Zankou: Do?",
"Demon: I just mean... Well, the Elder is dead. The plan has failed. Shouldn't we... retreat?",
"Zankou: Not yet.",
"Demon: But you said it yourself. If the Elder couldn't turn the sisters, there is no...",
"(Zankou grabs the demon.)",
"Zankou: I know what I said. I also know that Leo wasn't stupid. He wouldn't have given his life unless he knew something would come of it.",
"Demon: Unless it was merely the act of a desperate man. (A fireball appears in Zankou's hand.) I'm just saying, the Avatars could move on us at any time. If we are gonna run, we should go soon.",
"(The fireball disappears.)",
"Zankou: Perhaps you're right. We should retreat.",
"Demon: I'll let the others know.",
"(Suddenly, the demon blows up. A spark flies off Zankou and he's knocked to the ground. Piper, Phoebe and Paige walk in.)",
"Phoebe: What's the matter, Zankou? Chicken?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Pyramid. Continued from before. Zankou stands up.]",
"Zankou: Good thing you girls got here when you did. I was about to leave.",
"Phoebe: To go where?",
"Zankou: To live to fight another day.",
"Piper: You won't get that chance if you don't tell us what we want to hear.",
"Zankou: Save it. You need me. That's why Leo sent you. Glad to see he didn't die in vain after all.",
"Phoebe: Get to the point.",
"Zankou: The point is Leo was working with me, same as Agent Brody before him to undo what has been done.",
"Paige: Kyle was working with you?",
"Zankou: How do you think he was able to get close enough to kill an Avatar? He realised then that the combined force of good and evil is our only chance to stop the Avatars.",
"Piper: You have a greater reason for wanting to do that than we do, survival.",
"Zankou: True, but you obviously want it too. Otherwise, we wouldn't even be having this conversation, now would we? Now you go ahead and talk amongst yourselves. I'm not going anywhere.",
"(They turn their backs on Zankou.)",
"Paige: I'm not so sure about this.",
"Phoebe: Neither am I, but I don't think we have a choice. We're running out of allies.",
"Piper: We can't work with a demon.",
"Phoebe: Leo did.",
"Piper: Yeah, look where it got him.",
"Phoebe: But that was the Avatars, not Zankou.",
"Piper: So how do we know he's not picking us off one by one? What if this is a setup?",
"Paige: Well, he helped Kyle get rid of an Avatar. They're who he's really after, and so are we.",
"Piper: Okay, fine. So, what if this works? Where does that leave us, we're fighting demons again? Is that what we really want?",
"Phoebe: Is this?",
"Paige: Just because we wanted it so badly doesn't make it right. Kyle knew it was wrong. He knew the Avatars couldn't be trusted. I just didn't believe him.",
"Phoebe: Neither did we.",
"Paige: Still, we can believe in him now. Leo too. We can finish what they started, so they didn't die in vain.",
"(They turn back around to face Zankou.)",
"Phoebe: So, what's the plan?",
"Zankou: The plan... is for you to make a very special potion.",
"[Scene: The Avatars' Room. Gamma is flipping through hologram images.]",
"Alpha: What's the matter?",
"Gamma: I can't find the sisters.",
"Alpha: None of them?",
"Gamma: I don't understand. I just had them.",
"Alpha: Calm down. They'll have to surface sooner or later.",
"Piper's Voice: You got that right.",
"(The Avatars look around and find Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Zankou standing there. The Avatars run towards them. Zankou knocks them over with his telekinesis power. Paige holds up a potion vial.)",
"Paige: Ah! I wouldn't do that if I were you.",
"Gamma: What are those?",
"Zankou: You know what they are.",
"Phoebe: And you know what he is.",
"Alpha: What is the meaning of this?",
"Piper: I don't think we have anything to explain. We're not the ones going around killing people.",
"Gamma: We only did what was necessary to maintain Utopia.",
"Paige: A loophole you forgot to tell us about?",
"Alpha: It was never our intention to deceive, Paige. We merely gave you the world you asked for.",
"Piper: Again, except for the fact you were killing people.",
"Alpha: Their fates are regrettable. But I guarantee you that fewer people by far will be lost under our rule than under the chaos of good and evil.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but at least with good and evil people knew what they were dying for.",
"Piper: And given the choice of what we had and what you're offering...",
"Paige: Now we know what \"it\" is.",
"Paige: We'll take our free will back any day.",
"Zankou: Here, here.",
"Alpha: You'd seriously be willing to give up peace of mind, the normal life you so covet, to go back to the way things were? To fighting the likes of him again?",
"Piper: Warts and all.",
"Gamma: They're not ready for us.",
"Alpha: Perhaps not. But they will be someday. What we want for the world is worth waiting for. Very well. We will use what remains of our power to rewind time to when Utopia began.",
"Phoebe: Does that mean Leo will be alive again?",
"Alpha: Of course.",
"Paige: And Kyle?",
"Alpha: That, unfortunately, is beyond our powers.",
"Paige: Are you kidding me? You can bring everyone that you have killed back to life, but Kyle is beyond your powers?",
"Gamma: The further something recedes into the past, the more power it takes to reverse it.",
"Alpha: We can either bring back Agent Brody or return the world to the way it was, but I'm afraid we cannot do both.",
"(Paige goes to throw the potion but Phoebe stops her.)",
"Phoebe: Put the world back.",
"Alpha: I'm sorry this didn't work out, for your sakes as well as ours.",
"Zankou: Touching. I'm gonna miss you guys.",

"(They hug.)",
"Piper: Wow, you kinda really scared me this time.",
"Leo: That was the plan. I was banking on you saving me.",
"Piper: Okay, well, next time come up with a different plan.",
"Leo: Next time.",
"Piper: So wait, you remember everything, even though you technically died, but then you didn't, because time rewound, so... Am I making any sense?",
"Leo: Yeah. See, I remember everything because I was unaffected by the spell. And you remember everything because you broke it. And even though time rewound, we still experienced it.",
"Piper: Headache forming.",
"Leo: All that matters is that we fixed it, regardless of the consequences.",
"Piper: Consequences? You mean Kyle?",
"Leo: No, I mean the Elders. I went against them and sided with the Avatars. I can't go unpunished.",
"Piper: Yeah, but everything you did, you did to make the world a safer place for everyone, including us.",
"Leo: I don't think they're gonna see it that way. See, no matter what I did...",
"Piper: What we did.",
"Leo: Whether it was well-intentioned or not, it's gonna cost me.",
"Piper: Well, at least it didn't cost you your life, which at this moment is the only thing I'm concerned with. I don't want to lose you ever again.",

"Kyle: In the flesh, more or less.",
"Paige: I saw you die.",
"Kyle: That's right. You did. But as you know, sometimes it doesn't end there.",
"Paige: Are you a Whitelighter?",
"Kyle: Feels kind of weird. But at least I can still feel.",
"Paige: How?",
"Kyle: I guess the Elders decided I must have done something good with my life after all, which is a relief, considering the mess I made of it.",
"Paige: You didn't make such a mess.",
"Kyle: Come on. I got a little crazy there at the end, didn't I?",
"Paige: A little crazy. But you did save the world.",
"Kyle: Hence the reward.",
"Paige: I just wish I could...",
"Kyle: Paige, it's not your fault. I understand now that my life was supposed to end the way it did. How it did. It was my destiny. Just like it was our destiny to meet. To fall for each other.",
"Paige: To lose each other?",
"Kyle: Who says we're not gonna meet again? (Paige starts to cry. He kisses her on the forehead.) Take care of that for me, will you?",
"(Kyle orbs out. Paige picks up the snow globe.)"

"Already stressed out awaiting word on Leo's fate, Piper is attacked by demon assassins and ends up in a coma. Stuck in the cosmic void between life and death, Piper's spirit is surprised to find Cole's spirit waiting for her and even more surprised when he tells her that he is there to help keep her and Leo together, which he hopes will restore Phoebe's faith in love. Meanwhile, Leo is stripped of his powers and memory and put in the world somewhere as a test to see if he will remain an Elder or become human. The Elders cheat on the test and lead Leo to becoming an Elder again, but with Cole's help, Piper manages to reach out to Leo and he jumps off the Golden Gate Bridge and \"falls from grace,\" becoming mortal again. Phoebe, Paige and Leo return home to find that Drake has had Wyatt use the healing powers he inherited from his father to heal Piper. Later, in Magic School, Drake says his goodbyes to Phoebe and heads off to die alone. There it is revealed that Drake has been working with Cole the whole time and it was Cole's spirit who set him up with the Sorcerer to become mortal. Cole's spirit is also the one who sent the assassins after Piper, but it was all part of a plot by Cole to get Phoebe to not give up on love. He sent Drake to Phoebe to remind her and like Cole, Drake fell in love with Phoebe which both admit isn't hard to do. Drake dies and moves on, while Cole is content with his afterlife as a spirit that can never move on due to his horrible deeds as he prevented Phoebe from having that fate."

"Paige: Weren't we here before? Doesn't that mattress look strangely familiar?",
"Piper: It's probably because we saw one just like it in the last alley and the hundred and fifty before that. They all start to look the same after a while. Now, where is this paragon of good we're supposed to protect?",
"Paige: Hey, slow down. We gotta be careful, okay?",
"Piper: Okay. I just need to get home before Leo is sentenced.",
"Paige: Don't worry. When the Elders hand down their punishment, you're gonna know.",
"Piper: Well, this waiting business sucks. I mean, Leo was an Avatar for less time than it's taking them to make up their minds.",
"Paige: Hey, it's gonna be okay. You're not gonna lose Leo again. The Elders still need him. They're not gonna do anything rash. Besides...it's Phoebe we should be worrying about. Her man's disappearing tonight.",
"Piper: Her what? She didn't tell me she had a thing for Drake!",
"Paige: Well, I mean, she didn't tell me either, but, come on, he's cute, he's funny, he's smart, and he's destined to leave. I don't know, that kind of sounds like her type to a 'T'. I mean, really, how many times does a girl have to get hurt before she just kind of wakes up?",
"(A woman walks in behind Paige, carrying flyers.)",
"Piper: So you think she's...the innocent.",
"Paige: No, I don't think she's the innocent. I think she definitely has a part in this and she absolutely...",

"Piper: Behind you, the innocent.",
"Woman: If you women need a hot meal and a place to crash, there's a...",
"Paige: Okay, hi. I'm wearing lip-gloss. Do I look homeless?",
"Piper: For god's sakes. (Piper freezes her. A demon shimmers in. Piper blows the demon up.) I think Phoebe's just been...unlucky in love lately.",
"Paige: Do ya think?! Hey! (Three more demons shimmer in. Piper gets the woman out of the way. Two demons throw fireballs. The woman falls to the ground, unconscious. Piper and Paige take cover behind a dumpster.) Uh, ugly metal...thing!",
"(She orbs a metal pipe. It vanquishes them. Another one blows a thorns. Piper blows her up, but one thorn hits her hand.)",

"Paige: Okay, we really need to have Leo look at this.",
"Piper: It's fine, really. Leo! (Leo comes down the stairs, wearing his Elder robes.) Why are you wearing those?",
"Leo: The Elders made their decision. I have to go.",
"Piper: Right now? You can't go right now. The boys are in school. We won't be able to see... (Leo walks down the stairs.)",
"Leo: Honey, this isn't goodbye. I'm just going up there to find out what my punishment is.",
"Piper: What do you mean 'just'? You make it sound like it's no big deal. What if it's bad?",
"Leo: Well, then we'll deal with it. Come on. You're the one who said the Elders couldn't yak me away, remember?",
"Piper: Well, that was before I had all this time to stress out about it.",
"Leo: Well, at least now we're finally gonna know. I mean, that's a good thing, right? The waiting's been killing us.",

"Male Elder: We didn't say that.",
"Female Elder: We understand and we fully accept how being betrayed by an Elder, by Gideon, led you to the Avatars.",
"Male Elder: Still, that doesn't excuse your betraying us.",
"Female Elder: The council has come to realize that the central problem is your effort to balance two distinctly different worlds - yours with us and yours with Piper.",
"Male Elder: So the only solution is to find out which world you truly belong in once and for all.",
"Leo: How?",
"Male Elder: A test, if you will.",
"Female Elder: You'll be made mortal, stripped of your powers and your memories, and then you'll be relocated.",
"Male Elder: If the love you share for Piper is so strong that you're drawn back to her despite all odds, then you will live with her forever.",
"Female Elder: To live fully as a human without any interference from us ever again.",
"Leo: But what if I never find her, then what?",
"Male Elder: Then it means that your destiny is with us and we will welcome you, although you'll never see your family again.",
"Leo: Are you out of your mind? I won't do that.",
"Male Elder: You have no choice.",
"Female Elder: You have to know, Leo, this is not about punishing you. This is about helping you to find your way.",
"Leo: Okay, but if I end up with Piper, how do I know you won't eventually butt in again? Or if I wind up with you as an Elder, how do you know I'm not gonna leave...by falling from grace?",
"Male Elder: No Elder has ever done that before.",
"Leo: You take away my family and I will.",
"Female Elder: We are not taking away anything from you, Leo. This is about you making a choice, not us. Don't you see? This is the only way. Your heart will guide you to your true destiny, be it love or the greater good. Whatever way it turns out, we will honor it...as you also must.",
"Leo: Fine. I'll do it. But first I'm going to say bye to Piper.",
"Male Elder: It doesn't work that way.",
"Leo: Look...I said I'd take your damn test. I'm going to say goodbye to my family.",
"Male Elder: No. The test begins now! (He smacks Leo on the chest and Leo disappears in white orbs.)",

"Drake: Well, in defense of the Elders, when you live for an eternity, time does get a little skewed.",
"Piper: Yeah, well, we're human, so this is torture.",
"Phoebe: Well, this is ridiculous. (To ceiling) Hey! Listen, what the hell did you do to Leo?",
"Paige: I tried that already. Didn't work so much.",
"Phoebe: Well, you know what? I'm not saving another innocent until I find out what happened. (To ceiling) You hear me? I'm not saving another innocent until you tell us what's going on here.",
"(Female Elder orbs in.)",

"Piper: So then where is he?",
"Female Elder: Piper, the Elders came to the consensus that Leo has lost his way, so we've sent him on the path towards following his destiny.",
"Drake: Like the prodigal son out to find his way in the world?",
"Piper: Uh, you know what? This Elder-speak is not working for me. I need some straight answers. What exactly did you do to him?",
"Female Elder: We erased his memories and put him back on Earth as a mortal, somewhere you'll never find him.",
"Phoebe: What? He doesn't remember anything? He doesn't remember Piper or his sons - nothing?",
"Female Elder: Not even having been an Elder.",
"Piper: That's crazy. You don't have the right to wipe out someone's mind, an entire life, my life!",
"Female Elder: Leo was not just someone, Piper. He was an Elder, by his own choice. He knew all that that entailed.",
"Piper: Yeah, he was also a husband and a father by choice, and he would never abandon his family.",
"Female Elder: This was not an easy decision for us. We love Leo up there as much as you do down here. He wasn't killed or recycled. I hope that you can find comfort in that.",
"(Piper walks toward her.)",
"Piper: I'm sorry. You just lobotomized the love of my life, and you want me to take comfort in what? You've got a lot of nerve, lady. Now, I don't want to see you again or any of your kind ever again. We're done with all of you. Now, please...go.",
"Female Elder: Don't give up hope.",
"Piper: You really need to stop talking now. Please get out of my house. (She orbs out.) That's ridiculous.",
"(She walks into the parlor. Phoebe follows. Piper sits on the couch.)",
"Phoebe: Okay, Piper, I know this seems really bad, but we can't give up hope. Leo is out there somewhere, and I'm sure there's lots of ways we can find him.",
"Piper: How?",
"Phoebe: Uh, I don't know. We can scry for him, although he doesn't have his powers, so that might b-be difficult. We could - I don't know. I just, I don't know.",
"Paige: This is your idea of a rah-rah speech? You're supposed to be cheering her up, not pushing her off the ledge!",
"(Phoebe sits.)",
"Phoebe: Well, you know what, Paige? Maybe I'm just all rah-rah'ed out.",
"Paige: Huh?",
"(She sits on the coffee table.)",
"Phoebe: Maybe it's time we face the fact that, you know, perhaps we're not meant to find love.",
"Paige: That is ridiculous!",
"Phoebe: Okay, think about it. How many Halliwell women have actually been able to hold onto their men?",
"Piper: Name one.",
"Paige: Okay, uh...oh my God, you're right. That's so depressing.",
"Phoebe: Exactly. We're destined to be spinsters, all for the greater good.",
"Piper: Might as well be nuns, with better outfits.",
"Drake: Now, we, all right, let's... (He throws his gloves down.) Eighty-six that kinda talk, people. We will not give up on love. Repeat: Not give up on love. Love is everything. It's the only thing. It's why you're here. It's why I'm here.",
"Paige: Uh, I thought you were here to teach at Magic School.",
"Drake: There's that, but the point is, you're young, you're hot, you got magic powers. Come on, the whole life's ahead of you!",
"Phoebe: That's really sweet, and we appreciate you trying, but you die tonight at midnight, and we have to keep fighting.",
"Drake: Yeah, I may be toast, but love never dies. You might as well die with me if you're gonna give up on it. The point is, Leo and Piper's love, it's epic, it's massive. It's Romeo and Juliet, Anthony and Cleopatra, Brad and Jennifer.",
"Piper: All tragedies, I might add.",
"Drake: Better to have loved and lost and...yadda, yadda, yadda. But the point is, it's not lost. I mean, he's lost, but he's not lost, you know? All you gotta do is find Leo.",
"Paige: Well, either way, if the Elders don't want us to find him, we're not gonna be able to.",
"Drake: They didn't say that. They're gonna leave it up to him. Come on, precious time is a-wasting. The longer you take to look for Leo, the harder he's gonna be to find. Or we stay here and feel sorry for ourselves if you like.",
"Piper: My husband just developed a serious case of amnesia, okay? Give me a moment.",
"Drake: Phoebe? (He takes her hand and pulls her up. They dances her around.) If love isn't worth fighting fore then... (He dips her.) What is?",
"(Phoebe laughs.)",
"Phoebe: Okay. This is what we're gonna do. We'll look in the Book of Shadows and see if there's another way to find Leo.",
"Drake: Amen.",
"Paige: Okay. I guess I could check at magic school.",
"Drake: Now we're talking.",
"Phoebe: Piper, call Darryl. Now that Leo's mortal, he might be able to track him.",
"Drake: Amen! Can we go upstairs?",
"Phoebe: Wha...?",
"Drake: The B-Book of Shadows.",
"Phoebe: Yes!",
"(Drake and Phoebe rush upstairs. Paige orbs out. Piper gets up, but wobbles.)",

"Sheriff: Well, that ought to do it. Once we get you into the system, we'll be on the road to finding out who you really are.",
"(He puts the fingerprint card aside.)",
"Leo: Thanks.",
"Sheriff: Are you sure you don't remember anything? I mean, normally, a person with amnesia remembers something.",
"Leo: I wish I did. Believe me.",
"Sheriff: Yeah. Well, at least we know you're one of the good guys. Saved old Clyde's life. (He chuckles.) You know, son, the paramedics told me that the way you fixed up his leg looked professional.",
"Leo: Instinct, I guess.",
"Sheriff: Seems to me that...you could be a doctor or medic or something. Anything ring a bell?",
"Leo: No. Nothing.",
"Sheriff: Well, okay. It's okay. It'll come to you. Just gonna take some time. You see that? Old Glen's got you in the database already.",
"(The door slams. Leo is startled.)",
"[Flashback: Leo is blasting a demon with a bolt of electricity.]",
"[Present. Leo stares at the man.]",
"Sheriff: Son, you're bound to be a bit jumpy. I'm guessing you went through some kind of hell to get here.",
"Leo: Yeah. Yeah, maybe.",
"(Sheriff picks up his hat.)",
"Sheriff: Come on. Let me take you over to Nadine's, get you something to eat while we sift through the computer.",
"Leo: I'd rather stay here.",
"Sheriff: A man can't think straight on an empty stomach. Besides, chances are you got some loved ones out there looking for you, and once we get the word out...well, they'll find you soon enough. (He slaps Leo on the arm.) Come on.",
"(He and Leo leave.)",
"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Phoebe is scrying. Drake sits.]",
"Phoebe: We'll never find him, not scrying anyway, and I don't think we're gonna make it to the Taj Mahal by sunset. I feel terrible about...ruining your last day here.",
"Drake: Hey, don't scry for me, Argentina. (Phoebe chuckles.) I'm exactly where I want to be.",
"Phoebe: In a dingy attic?",
"Drake: Helping those I'm leaving behind, yeah.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, see, that's the other really irritating thing... (Phoebe sits down.) You're hell bent on helping Piper and Leo, and yet you won't let us help you.",
"Drake: Phoebe, I made a deal. I got to be human for a whole year. Time's up.",
"Phoebe: I know, but you made a deal with a demon. We're the good guys, the Charmed Ones. Why won't you let us help you?",
"Drake: Because I've done all I need to do to die a happy man, all except for one thing.",
"Phoebe: See Niagara Falls?",
"Drake: Make sure you don't give up on love.",
"Phoebe: Please. Not that again. (She goes back to scrying.) Look, I'm just being realistic, okay? I have been heartbroken so many times by love that I'm just beginning to think that I'm supposed to live my life without it.",
"Drake: What...that is ridiculous. Nobody is. I've been demonic without love, so I know what I'm talking about. Love is transcendent. It's miraculous. It's also what can save Piper and Leo.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, well, I hope so, because if it can't, I'm joining the convent.",
"(Phoebe puts the crystal down. Paige orbs in.)",
"Paige: Hey.",
"Drake: Hi.",
"Paige: Well, it looks as if the Elders had an original thought for once, because there's no precedence for what they've done to Leo.",
"Phoebe: Yeah. We can't find anything here either.",
"Paige: Okay, well, maybe I should try scrying for him. Maybe my Whitelighter side can tap into something in him? (Phoebe hands Paige the crystal.) It would be great to be able to tell Piper something good for once.",
"(Paige starts to scry.)",
"[Cut to downstairs. Piper's pacing on the phone.]",
"Piper: Darryl, you have to do something, anything.",
"Darryl: Look Piper, I'm doing the best that I can, but the only fingerprints that I have on Leo are from World War II, and I can't use them because they don't match his photograph. He's...too young.",
"Piper: Okay, Darryl, but you have to find him.",
"Darryl: I will. I promise. It just might take a little time.",
"Piper: Well, how long? Long enough that he has a whole new life, a new wife and new kids? That is not okay. That is not acceptable!",
"Darryl: Piper, just take a breath.",
"Piper: Okay look, I don't need to take a breath. I need to find my husband! (She hangs up. She breathes heavily and starts going upstairs.) Oh god. Someone please help me. (She collapses on the floor. She stands up and starts walking up the stairs. She looks down to see her body.) Oh no. Am I dead again?",
"(Cole is standing nearby.)",
"Cole: No. Well, not yet anyway.",
"(He smiles. Piper goes over to Cole.)",
"Piper: I don't know which is worse - the fact that I'm dying or that, apparently, I'm gonna be spending my last dying moments with you.",
"Cole: I'd say that's what you should be worried about. You're not looking so hot. (He smiles.) What?",
"Piper: What? Don't what me, Cole. What are you doing here?",
"Cole: You called for me.",
"(Piper chuckles.)",
"Piper: I didn't call for you.",
"Cole: You asked for help. Here I am.",

"Phoebe: Piper! Piper, wake up!",
"Paige: Piper!",
"(Piper waves her arms.)",
"Piper: Yoo-hoo guys. Hi. Over here.",
"Cole: They can't hear you.",
"Paige: Oh my god.",
"Cole: Or see you.",
"Paige: The thorn demon. I know I should have had Leo heal her.",
"Phoebe: Or maybe it's the shock of losing Leo?",
"Drake: Or maybe both.",
"(Piper waves her arms.)",
"Piper: Guys, yoo-hoo! Look, really, over here. Watch.",
"(She tries to knock over the lamp, but her hand goes through.)",
"Cole: Nice try.",
"Piper: Shut up.",
"Drake: Ran into a few of these thorn demons myself. (He snaps his fingers and Piper's body appears in his arms.) Those pricks can be vicious. Pun intended. The poison works slowly, but it's also fatal.",
"(He puts Piper's body on the couch.)",
"Phoebe: Wait. Fatal? Okay, I don't see any other choice. We're gonna have to call the Elders to heal her.",
"Piper: Over my dead body!",
"Paige: Are you kidding? Piper will kill us!",
"Phoebe: At least she'll be alive!",
"Paige: But if it's slow working, that'll give us time. Maybe we can have some sort of options or something.",
"Phoebe: You know what? I hate this. I feel so out of control, like there's nothing that we can do.",
"Drake: There's something we can do. All right? We gotta find Leo.",
"Paige: Except he can't help us anymore.",
"Drake: Actually, he's the only one who can. You weren't paying attention to my little love rant. That's exactly what we're dealing with here.",
"Phoebe: Are you saying she's lovesick?",
"Piper: That's ridiculous!",
"Drake: Yeah. And it could kill her. Happens all the time to the bereaved after they lose a loved one. Even if we heal Piper, she still needs Leo.",
"Cole: Pay attention. He could be onto something.",
"Piper: What do you know?",
"Paige: Okay, uh, maybe you and I should go down to see Darryl and help speed this whole thing up.",
"Piper: Unh, people, come on. It's a poison thorn. Could somebody please go check the book?",
"Drake: I think I'm going to check the, uh, book upstairs, see what I can do for Piper down here.",
"Phoebe: Call us if she gets worse.",
"(Drake runs upstairs.)",
"Drake: Don't worry. Love will conquer all!",
"(Phoebe and Paige begin to leave.)",
"Cole: What beauty. She doth teach the torches to burn bright.",
"(Phoebe walks back and looks.)",
"Paige: What?",
"(They see nothing.)",
"Phoebe: Nothing.",
"(They leave.)",
"Piper: Since when do you quote Shakespeare?",
"Cole: It's a recent affliction, actually. But the demon is right, you know. It is all about love.",
"Piper: What are you exactly? Ghost, demon, poltergeist, nightmare?",
"Cole: None of the above. We're caught in a cosmic void...between life and death.",
"Piper: I'm stuck with you?",
"Cole: No. If you play your cards right, you can get out of this nasty limbo. I'm the one who's here for all eternity.",
"Piper: Paying penance for your evil past.",
"Cole: You always were the smart one.",
"Piper: Cut the crap.",
"Cole: And direct. I miss that. Actually no, I don't.",
"Piper: Can you please just tell me what you're doing here?",
"Cole: Simple. I'm here to help keep you and Leo together.",
"Piper: Right.",
"(She walks away. Cole appears.)",
"Cole: I'm trying to do a good deed here, make sure that you don't end up like me, and this is the thanks I get.",
"Piper: I know what you're doing. This is just a ploy to break out of your ungodly plane and back into our lives. See? I'm right.",
"Cole: I'll be the first to admit I'm not above having an ulterior motive.",
"Piper: Exactly.",
"Cole: But I'm here for one reason and one reason only: To help you find your love while you still can.",
"[Scene: Diner. Nadine's. Leo is finishing up a piece of pie at the counter. Waitress (Nadine) walks up and takes his plate.]",
"Nadine: Well, looks like you worked up an appetite being the big hero this morning. You know what? Since it's on the house, why don't you try something a bit more substantial?",
"(Nadine pulls out the menu.)",
"Leo: No, this is amazing. I think it was the best pie I've ever had.",
"Nadine: Oh, you know what? I'd take that as a compliment except that you can't remember tying your own shoelaces. You know what? I bet you have someone somewhere who cooks for you just fine, when it all comes back to you. Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry. I tend to stick my foot in it.",
"Leo: No, it's-it's okay. I just wish I could remember",
"(He wipes his mouth with a napkin.)",
"Nadine: It looks like you had a wedding ring on, huh?",
"Leo: Yeah, I-I guess.",
"[Flashback: Leo gets on his knees. He slips an engagement ring on Piper's finger.]",
"[Present.]",
"Nadine: Maybe she dumped you.",
"Leo: What? No.",
"Nadine: Yeah, maybe she smacked you on the head with some cast iron for cheating on her and knocked you out. Wish I'd done that when I found my husband cheating on me.",
"(She chuckles.)",
"Leo: She didn't dump me.",

"Paige: (To phone) Yes. Amnesia. He doesn't remember a thing. His family's getting desperate. Yeah, we'll send a photo right over. Thank you. (She hangs up.) Well, a hundred and fifty police stations down and another ba-jillion to go. It's like searching for the proverbial needle in a haystack.",
"Phoebe: I know it's daunting, but we can't give up hope.",
"Paige: I'm thinking maybe that Elder didn't want us to.",
"Phoebe: What are you saying?",
"Paige: I think she was trying to say something to us or at least tell Piper something. Why would she tell Piper not to give up hope if all hope is already lost?",
"Phoebe: So you think it's some kind of test?",
"Paige: Well, if it is, it's one we'd better pass.",
"(Darryl walks over with a file.)",
"Phoebe: Hey. Any luck?",
"Darryl: Well, besides the John Doe that you two found matching Leo's description, you know, my guys have come up with two more so far.",

"Male Elder: Well, hop in.",
"Leo: Thanks.",
"(He and Male Elder gets in.)",
"[Time lapse. The big rig drives out.]",
"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Drake is looking through the Book of Shadows.]",
"Drake: You got to have a remedy in here somewhere. Now, come on, damn it! (He hits the book. It flies to the floor.) Sorry. Sorry. Let a little bit of the old demon slip out there. Won't happen again. (He reaches for the book, but it flies away. Drake crawls toward the book.) Come on, would you? I... (He notices the page and pulls the book onto his lap.) Tips for future Whitelighters? (Drake sits and puts the book in his lap.) \"To my sons Wyatt and Chris.\" Future Whitelighters, eh?",
"(He reads the page.)",
"[Cut to living room. Cole sits on a chair.]",
"Cole: Stubbornness is definitely a family trait. (He picks up a photo of Phoebe.) You've tried going upstairs twice, out the front door four times, and through the wall five... (Piper gets thrown out of the wall and across the room.) Make that six times. But hey, you haven't tried the chimney yet.",
"(Piper gets up.)",
"Piper: I thought ghosts could go any damn place they pleased.",
"Cole: You're still attached to your body. You're not a ghost. But you will be if you don't start trusting me. There is only one way out of here.",
"Piper: The last Halliwell that trusted you ended up burying your demonic spawn.",
"Cole: Not one of my finer moments, but Phoebe'll make a great mom. Can you blame me for wanting to be the dad?",
"Piper: You're wasting your time.",
"Cole: Now is that any way to treat family?",
"Piper: And you're really starting to get on my nerves.",
"Cole: Why? (He stands up.) Because I know you so well? Remember, I go all the way back to Prue. I was actually at your wedding. The fact is, Leo and I are a lot alike. We both tried to change the world to save our marriages.",
"Piper: You are nothing alike and just because we have history doesn't mean you know anything about me or love.",
"Cole: Like it or not, Phoebe and I were very much in love.",
"Piper: Yeah, that is until she suddenly fell out of love with you rather quickly, remember?",
"Cole: I'll never forget. That's why we're doomed. But you and Leo aren't. What you have is powerful, enduring.",
"Piper: Yeah, a lot of good it's done us. He's wandering around aimlessly with no idea who he is, and I'm in a coma.",
"Cole: Look, you have someone out there who needs you as much as you need him. Now, if you don't have faith in that love, it's not the only thing that'll die.",
"[Scene: Nadie's diner. Phoebe and Paige are there.]",
"Phoebe: Okay, if Leo's not here, we've got nothing.",
"Paige: Maybe we should have come here first instead of traipsing all over the map.",
"Phoebe: Well, he can't be far. The sheriff said that he just saw him here not too long ago. (Nadine comes our.) Hi. Uh, maybe you could help us. Look, uh, we're looking for somebody, this guy right here. (Phoebe shows the photo of Leo and Piper at their wedding.) Have you seen him?",
"Nadine: Ah, yeah. Didn't think a fellow like that would stay lost for long. Yeah, he left about an hour ago, hitched a ride on a big rig.",
"Paige: A big rig?",
"Phoebe: Any idea where they were headed?",
"Nadine: West, I think. Had some kind of California sign on the side.",
"Paige: Okay, I'm gonna call Darryl, have him get in touch with the highway patrol.",
"Phoebe: Okay, uh, look, we really need to find him and we're running out of time. We need a car.",
"[Scene: Road. Phoebe drives a blue truck. Paige is with her.]",
"Phoebe: What was that intersection?",
"Paige: I don't know. Just keep going west.",
"[Cut to the big rig.]",
"Male Elder: It's a bumpy ride. I'm sorry about that. Newer rigs have better shocks. But, uh, hey, maybe it'll jog your memory.",
"Leo: It does feel like it's starting to come back some. I know somebody needs me.",
"Male Elder: I'm not surprised. I heard how you saved that man's life back there.",
"Leo: Anybody else would have done the same thing.",
"(Male Elder chuckles.)",
"Male Elder: There. You are wrong there. Not everybody's got the calling. Say, maybe this means there are a whole bunch of somebody's out there that need you. Maybe it's your love of helping others that you're really looking for. You obviously have the healing touch.",
"Leo: I don't know about that. Although it did seem familiar, like I had a purpose.",
"Male Elder: Perhaps you were working for the greater good - you know, helping people when you lost your memory. Maybe deep down, you sensed that the people that you were helping still need you.",
"Leo: I guess I have to hang in there till my memory comes back, huh?",
"Male Elder: Yep. Listen to that inner voice.",
"Leo: You know, you sound more like a man of the cloth than a truck driver.",
"Male Elder: In a way, maybe I am. You learn a lot about life on the road. I mean, sure, it's lonely sometimes. But I take heart in knowing that whatever sacrifices I make personally, I'm still bringing people what they need, and to me, that's what it's all about. Say, I'm gonna be heading north here soon. You're welcome to join us if you want.",
"Leo: Us?",
"Male Elder: O-Others who, uh, who think like I do. You know, who want to help. Of course, if you think that you're meant to be somewhere else, I mean, that's okay, too. Because, I mean, look, it's up to you.",
"[Scene: Manor. Living room. Cole and Piper are there.]",
"Cole: I'm not quite sure what's so hard to grasp. Love transcends every plane of existence. All you need to do is believe in it with every fiber of your being and just send it out to Leo.",
"Piper: What does that mean? I don't understand.",
"Cole: I could never get through to you. I could always sense when there was something wrong with Phoebe.",
"Piper: Well, clearly Leo is not sensing that something is horribly wrong with me.",
"Cole: That's because he doesn't know who you are, which means it's gonna take a bigger jolt from you to jog his memory.",
"Piper: You know, it's odd how invested you are in all of this, considering I'm the one who helped vanquish you.",
"Cole: Well, you know, bygones and all, but you're changing the subject.",
"Piper: Yes, I am. (She stands up.) And this is not gonna go any further until you tell me what you're getting out of this.",
"Cole: Me? (Piper nods.) I don't know what you're talking about.",
"Piper: Come on, Cole. I know you just as well as you think you know me. So if you want me to trust you, then you need to come clean first.",
"Cole: I don't want Phoebe to give up on love.",
"Piper: What?",
"Cole: She hasn't been able to find love since me or at least hold onto it. And I know that's my fault.",
"Piper: Well, maybe you should have thought of that before you decided to become the source of all things evil.",
"Cole: Look, I already feel guilty enough, all right?",
"Piper: Then why aren't you talking to Phoebe about this instead of me?",
"Cole: Because you're my only hope. I'm cursed to live in eternity without love for what I've done, and I accept that. But I don't want Phoebe to be cursed, too. She needs love. She-she deserves it. But she's not going to keep looking for it unless you give her a reason to. Now, you and Leo are that reason.",
"Piper: Okay. All right. So how do I do this love beacon thing?",
"Cole: All you need to do is let go so that you can move onto the next cosmic plane.",
"Piper: Oh, I see. You mean the one where I'm dead.",
"Cole: I know it sounds crazy, but it's the only way to get through to Leo.",
"Piper: No. I can't. I have a family. I have boys that need me. Besides, that doesn't even make any sense.",
"Cole: Yes, it does. Think about how a person halfway across the world knows the instant their loved one is hit by a car. It's because they're struck with a sudden burst of love, a-a psychic shock, the kind of shock that can only come from the total loss of a loved one. You need to let go. You need to die.",
"Piper: And what happens when that doesn't work? What happens when he doesn't feel this psychic jolt? Then I'm just plain dead. I can't take that chance. Besides, my sisters will figure out a way to save me. They always do.",
"Cole: But then you risk losing Leo and your boys for good. Can you take that chance?",
"[Scene: Big Rig. It stops where highway 40 meets highway 87.]",
"Male Elder: Well, this is where I head north. What's it gonna be?",
"Leo: You know, I've been thinking a lot about that work you're doing.",
"Male Elder: I can assure you, there is nothing more rewarding.",
"(Leo nods.)",
"Leo: It would be nice to have a sense of purpose.",
"(Male Elder sees a car stop behind him.)",
"Male Elder: You need to make a choice. Every man does.",
"Leo: I know.",
"[Cut to Paige and Phoebe. They unbuckle their seatbelts.]",
"Phoebe: This has to be it. I hope we're not too late.",
"(They get out of the car.)",
"[Cut to Male Elder and Leo.]",
"Male Elder: Your destiny lies ahead of you. (He sees Phoebe coming towards them.) Which way is it gonna be?",
"Leo: Let's go.",
"(Male Elder slaps Leo's leg.)",
"Male Elder: You've made the right decision.",
"(Phoebe and Paige open the door.)",
"Paige: Oh, Leo. Thank god.",
"Leo: Sorry. Do I know you?",
"Phoebe: (To Male Elder) What are you doing here, and what did you do to Leo?",
"Male Elder: We let destiny run its course, and so should you.",
"(He grabs Leo and orbs out.)",
"[Scene: Manor. Parlor. Paige, Phoebe, and Drake orb in.]",
"Paige: Piper?",
"Drake: I got to you as soon as I could.",
"Phoebe: The damn Elders. None of this would be happening if they didn't take Leo.",
"Paige: Okay, you know what? You're right. We have to get the Elders down here. They're the only ones who can help now.",
"Drake: That won't do any good. Even if they heal her body, only Leo can heal her soul.",
"Paige: Well, unfortunately, Leo chose the Elders over Piper. It's not like we can get him here and force him to remember his wife.",
"Cole: But you can. And you'd better do it fast. Trust me. It's your only hope. And hers. Your destiny is with Leo. You need to learn to trust that.",
"(Piper turns into white orbs and moves back into her body.)",
"Phoebe: This can't be a dead end.",
"Paige: You know what? Let me double-check the book.",
"Drake: I was very thorough. There's nothing there.",
"(Piper gasps.)",
"Phoebe: What? What was that?",
"Piper: Leo.",
"Phoebe: Wait. I know what to do. Orb me to the bridge.",
"Paige: No, she just woke up. We can't just leave her.",
"Drake: I'll stay with her. You go work on her spirit.",
"Phoebe: Bridge, now!",
"(Phoebe and Paige orb out. Drake runs upstairs.)",
"Cole: You can do it, Piper.",
"[Scene: Golden Gate Bridge. Paige and Phoebe orb in.]",
"Phoebe: Look, we know you have Leo! Bring him down here now. (Male Elder and Leo orb in.) Leo, Piper's dying. You have to come with us.",
"Leo: I'm sorry. Who?",
"Male Elder: He doesn't know who she is or who you are.",
"Paige: You did this to him.",
"Male Elder: Leo has chosen his own path.",
"Phoebe: By you leading him there? How is this a fair test?",
"Male Elder: Some things are so important that they cannot be left to chance.",
"Paige: You need to come home now because Piper needs you.",
"Leo: Well, I'm there for all those in need.",
"Paige: Look, this is not a test.",
"Male Elder: He's made his own decision. It's done.",
"Phoebe: No, it's not done. Leo and Piper are still in love. You can erase his memory, but you can't erase that. It'll seep into his consciousness until he remembers.",
"Male Elder: I know this is a great loss for you and that you're going to need time to mourn.",
"Phoebe: No. We won't. Because he's not gonna leave. You can't take him away from Piper. (Leo looks away.) Look, their love is true. It's true love, and it's bigger than you and-and the Elders and all of this.",
"[Cut to Manor. Piper gasps.]",
"Piper: Leo.",
"[Cut to Golden Gate Bridge. Leo hears Piper.]",
"[Cut to Piper. She gasps for breath.]",
"[Cut to Leo.]",
"[Cut to Piper. She falls unconsciousness and her hand falls.]",
"[Cut to Leo.]",
"Leo: (Whispers) Piper.",
"Phoebe: Leo? (Leo steps to the edge of the bridge.) Leo, what are you doing?",
"Paige: Leo?",
"(Leo spreads his arms out and falls off the edge. His Elder robes vanish. Paige and Phoebe orb to him.)",
"Phoebe: Oh my god. Leo.",
"(Phoebe kneels next to Leo. Male Elder orbs in.)",
"Leo: Phoebe.",
"(Side of Leo's face is bruised.)",
"Paige: What the hell just happened?",
"Male Elder: He has fallen from grace.",
"Phoebe: Leo, are you okay?",
"Leo: Take me to Piper. She needs me.",
"Male Elder: Destiny has spoken. He's made his choice. He's mortal now. You should hurry.",
"[Cut to Manor. Drake is kneeled in front of Piper. Paige, Phoebe, and Leo orb in behind them.]",
"Drake: You're too late. (He stands up to show Wyatt healing Piper.) Wyatt already healed her.",
"Paige: Wyatt?",
"Phoebe: Thank god.",
"(Piper sits up and smiles.)",
"Piper: Good job, baby.",
"(Phoebe sits. Leo kneels in front of Piper.)",
"Paige: Ah, okay. How did you know he could do that?",
"Drake: I didn't. He did. He even put it in the book. (Piper smiles.) Looks like you got a second-generation Whitelighter on your hands.",
"Phoebe: Did you heal your mommy? You're such a big boy. I'm so proud of you.",
"(Phoebe kisses Wyatt's hands.)",
"Piper: I thought you were never gonna find your way home.",
"Leo: It was your faith that brought me back. I could hear you calling me, like you were right there next to me.",
"Piper: I had a good coach, an old friend. I'll explain later. (She looks at Leo's bruises.) That looks like it hurts.",
"Leo: Yeah. It doesn't matter. All that matters is that we're together again. I'm never leaving you again.",
"(Piper picks up Wyatt.)",
"Piper: Come here buddy. Come here. (She sets him on her lap.) Look who it is. Can you give daddy a hug? Hug, hug, hug.",
"(They share a hug.)",
"[Scene: Magic School. Drake is reading a book.]",
"Drake: 'Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore, so do our minutes hasten to their end'.",
"Phoebe: I'm gonna miss Shakespeare.",
"Drake: Mm, that's why I left you this. (He gives her the book.) The complete works to peruse at your leisure.",
"Phoebe: Thank you. I can't believe it's been three weeks already. I mean, so much has happened.",
"Drake: I know. It's been such a whirlwind. The burlesque, huh? Big fan. Sherwood Forest. I mean, come on. Hold the tights. Thank you very much, and a real life Romeo and Juliet.",
"Phoebe: That's just a typical week for us.",
"Drake: What do you expect? Come on. You're Charmed.",
"Phoebe: Mm, you really helped me move on. Thank you.",
"Drake: Are you kidding? Thank you. I couldn't think of a better day to die.",
"Phoebe: Mm.",
"Drake: Sorry. I also helped you find love, didn't I?",
"Phoebe: Mm.",
"Drake: Come on. I did, didn't I? (She shrugs.) Come on. I did. I did.",
"(She smiles.)",
"Phoebe: Yeah. You did.",
"Drake: Whoo, close one. If that doesn't get me in heaven, I don't know what will.",
"Phoebe: I'll never forget what you did for me. I guess I fell for the right guy this time.",
"Drake: 'Parting is such sweet sorrow'. He was right. I never knew what that meant till right now.",
"Phoebe: I just, I have to ask you one question, okay? How is it that you came into my life at the exact right time?",
"Drake: Oh, a little bird told me. Come on. What's magic without a little mystery? Right. Travel checklist. Uh, leave reference books for next instructor, bring a little wisdom to some young minds, save epic love...bask in your loving gaze. Yeah, that about covers it. (He sighs.) Alas, pumpkin time. No need you watching my messy demise. (Drake gets up. Phoebe pulls him back down. They kiss.) (Whispers) Think of me when you dance.",
"(He gets up and leaves. The door closes behind him.)",
"Phoebe: I'll miss you.",
"[Cut to Drake. He walks in, rubbing his neck.]",
"Cole: You did good.",
"(Cole appears.)",
"Drake: Thanks. So did you. I couldn't have tasted life unless you set me up with that sorcerer. I just wish I could save you, too.",
"Cole: I've come to terms with my fate, especially now that I know it won't be Phoebe's, too.",
"Drake: So that was a pretty bold move sending in those thorn demons.",
"Cole: Well, I had to risk everything for this one.",
"Drake: Understandably. (The clock chimes midnight.) Oh well. Here I go. (Drake collapses on the floor. His spirit rises. His body turns into dust. Drake's spirit stands up.) Okay, that was interesting. Ashes to ashes, huh?",
"Cole: If it's any consolation, you did all that I asked for. You saved Phoebe.",
"Drake: I did more than that, buddy. I fell in love with her.",
"Cole: Understandably.",
"Drake: Farewell, my friend.",
"(Drake disappears in orbs. Cole vanishes.)",
"[Scene: Manor. Piper's bedroom. Morning. Leo sits by the window. Piper gets up.]",
"Piper: Leo, are you okay?",
"Leo: I just can't believe it. I don't have powers anymore. I don't hear jingling. I can't orb.",
"(Piper sits up and sighs.)",
"Piper: Is that bad?",
"Leo: Are you kidding? (He smiles.) It's great. It's everything I've wanted ever since the day I met you.",
"(He and Piper stand up.)",
"Piper: Me, too.",
"(They kiss. Chris cries.)",
"Leo: Hey, you wanted a normal life.",
"(Piper smiles.)",
"Piper: Yeah. Uh, you take Wyatt. I'll get Chris.",
"(Piper starts leaving, but Leo pulls her back.)",
"Leo: Um, I was thinking maybe pancakes and eggs. (Piper giggles.) How about you?",
"Piper: Sounds normal.",

"When Zankou attempts to ambush Piper, Phoebe, and Paige in order to obtain the power of the Nexus and use it to his own advantage, little Wyatt takes matters into his own hands by shrinking Leo and Piper and hiding them in a doll house for protection while Phoebe and Paige have to deal with the demon and his henchmen. After stopping Zankou for the moment, the sisters talk Leo into becoming the new Headmaster of Magic School, hoping that he'll get used to no longer having his powers."

"(He takes away his hand and Piper looks around the room. It is all neat and tidy.)",
"Piper: Wow.",
"Leo: Isn't it great?",
"Piper: It's... it's something.",
"Leo: You hate it.",
"Piper: No, no. I don't hate anything. It's just... The dining room and then the living room and, you know, when you rearranged the kitchen... I did kinda hate that.",
"Leo: Piper, you're always complaining about what a mess it is.",
"Piper: Yeah, I know, but it's an attic, and it's supposed to be messy. Sweetie, it's not that I don't appreciate you helping around the house, because I do. It's just... it's just a little much.",
"Leo: Well, you know, I just shuffled some things around.",
"Piper: Shuffled? You call this shuffling? Honey, you built things. You hung things. You bagged things. (She picks up a small bag off the shelf.) I mean, what is this?",
"Leo: Those are corks. You know, for the potion bottles. You leave 'em out and they get brittle.",
"Piper: And that doesn't seem like overkill to you?",
"(She goes to put the bag down and Leo clears his throat. She puts the bag back on the shelf.)",
"Leo: I'm just trying to help.",
"Piper: I know, honey, and that's very sweet. But, you know, I kinda liked the attic messy. At least I knew where everything was. (She sees a dollhouse that looks exactly like the manor.) Where did you find that?",
"Leo: Under some blankets. Why?",
"Piper: I just... I haven't seen it in years. Is it wet?",
"Leo: Well, it needed some touch-ups.",

"Leo: Look, this isn't easy for me.",
"Piper: I know, sweetie. I know. You've been a Whitelighter, an Elder, an Avatar...",
"Leo: Don't remind me.",
"Piper: The point is, if it's magical, you've done it. So it's not gonna be easy to adjust to life without powers overnight. And tackling all these projects is... a little obsessive.",
"Leo: Well, what am I supposed to do? I can't orb. I can't go to the Elders for information. I just want to fit in.",
"Piper: I know. But brittle corks?",
"Leo: Okay, I guess maybe that was a little much.",
"Piper: Look, there is no how-to book on this, okay? But we're gonna get through it. Together. Besides, this is what we wanted. Normal.",

"Phoebe: Hi.",

"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Leo and Wyatt are playing with the dollhouse. Chris is in his playpen nearby.]",
"Leo: That's the attic. Good. That's where we are right now. What's this right here? That's mummy and daddy's room, right. Yeah.",
"(Piper walks in.)",
"Piper: Hey.",
"Leo: Hey.",
"Piper: Everything all right?",
"Leo: Yeah. Yeah, why wouldn't it be?",
"Piper: Well, you know, seeing as how a demon tried to K I L L you.",
"Leo: Right. Well, I'm fine.",
"Piper: Why are you so defensive?",
"Leo: I don't know. I guess maybe I feel like I have something to prove.",
"Piper: Leo, I was just trying to protect you.",
"Leo: I know, but you don't need to.",
"Piper: Yeah, obviously I do.",
"(Piper walks away.)",
"Leo: Piper, wait. Okay, me and mummy have to have a grown-up conversation, okay? I'll be right back.",
"[Scene: Underworld. Cave. Paige and Phoebe orb in.]",
"Phoebe: Okay, we have ten minutes. What? I told 'em I'd be right back.",
"Paige: Well, it's gonna take what it's gonna take.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, I know, but I have a deadline. Do you know how much work goes into one edition? I can't believe Elise just dropped...",
"Paige: Focus!",
"Phoebe: Okay. So now what do we do?",
"Paige: I don't know.",
"(Zankou flames in.)",
"Zankou: Greetings.",
"Phoebe: Zankou. What are you doing here? Paige, what is he doing here?",
"Paige: How am I supposed to know?",
"Zankou: Where's your other sister, Piper?",
"Paige: Why do you want to know?",
"Zankou: I have my reasons.",
"Phoebe: Okay, look, you know, we'd love to stay and chat, but we have business that we need to attend to.",
"Zankou: I know.",
"(He clicks his fingers and the tribe of demons appear behind him.)",
"Paige: It's gonna take longer than ten minutes.",
"(Paige throws the potion.)",
"[Scene: Manor. Bottom of the stairs. Piper is adding water to a vase of flowers. Leo comes down the stairs.]",
"Leo: Why are you so mad at me?",
"Piper: Because you're gonna get yourself killed, that's why.",
"Leo: Okay, well, I can... I can handle myself.",
"Piper: Really? The way you handled yourself this morning?",
"Leo: You know, I could have handled that.",
"Piper: How?",
"Leo: I would have thought of something.",
"Piper: I'm so glad you would've thought of something. Now I don't have to worry.",
"Leo: Okay, it was good that you were there. But that doesn't give you the right to hide crystals behind my back.",
"Piper: I was just trying to protect you.",
"Leo: I'm supposed to protect you.",
"Piper: Is that what all this is about?",
"Leo: It's part of it. It's my instinct to protect you, Piper. The reason I don't hide from demons is because I've never had to.",
"Piper: I realise that.",
"Leo: Okay. Well, Wyatt doesn't. And now he's seen me get hurt, and I don't want that to hurt him.",
"Piper: Okay, look, we are going to get through this.",
"Leo: I know we are. But you, yourself, said it was gonna take time. Which means, I'm gonna make mistakes. Okay, and when I do, I need you to be supportive. You know, not drown the plants.",
"Piper: Well, I guess we all have our own ways of dealing with things.",
"Leo: Guess so.",
"(Three demons from the tribe appear. They're surprised to see Piper and Leo.)",
"Demon: What are you doing here?",
"(Piper blows up two of them. Craven runs away.)",
"Leo: Dining room.",
"Piper: I see where he went. Stay here.",
"(Piper walks through the house. So does Leo.)",
"Leo: Wyatt. (Leo sees Wyatt on the stairs.) Wyatt, get upstairs.",
"(Craven throws the boomerang at Leo and it hits him in the shoulder.)",
"Piper: Leo! (Piper finds Craven and tries to blow him up. He disappears. Piper goes over to Leo.) Leo? Are you okay?",
"Leo: Yeah. No. Don't let Wyatt see me.",
"Piper: Honey, why don't you go upstairs?",
"Leo: Mummy and daddy are fine.",
"Piper: Sweetie, what's the matter? What is he doing?",
"(Suddenly Piper and Leo disappear. Wyatt orbs out.)",
"[Cut to the attic. Wyatt orbs in. A miniature Piper and Leo appear in the dollhouse.]",

"Piper: Uh-oh.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Underworld. Cave. Phoebe and Paige hide behind a wall.]",
"Phoebe: Why is he doing this? I have a paper to put out.",
"Paige: I'm sure that factored into his decision making process.",
"Phoebe: I don't understand. How'd we go from a demon attacking Leo to Zankou attacking us?",
"Paige: Maybe because Leo's mortal, his making his move.",
"Zankou: Don't be shy, ladies. You knew this day would come.",
"Paige: (to Phoebe) Take one of these.",
"(She hands Phoebe a potion.)",
"Phoebe: We have to get back to Piper, and I have to get back to work.",
"Paige: I wanna let him know we're in the game.",
"(Craven appears beside Zankou.)",
"Craven: One sister is still at the manor.",
"Zankou: I know. I have the other two pinned down.",
"(Phoebe's phone starts ringing.)",
"Paige: Will you turn that thing off?",
"Phoebe: Sorry, but you gotta admire the range. We're in the underworld. That's good.",
"Zankou: You're making this too easy.",
"(Zankou follows the noise of the phone. He turns the corner where they were hiding and finds the phone on the ground. He crushes it with his foot.)",
"Phoebe: Looking for us?",
"(The demons turn around and Phoebe and Paige throw the potions at Zankou. He deflects them and they hit the demons, vanquishing them.)",
"Zankou: You missed.",
"Paige: Okay, that's our cue.",
"(Paige orbs out with Phoebe.)",
"Craven: So much for your plan.",
"Zankou: Gather the remaining tribe. This may still work.",
"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Wyatt is sitting beside the dollhouse, playing. Piper and Leo are looking out the window of the dollhouse.]",
"Piper: Wyatt. You need to make mummy and daddy big again.",
"Leo: Maybe he can't hear us.",
"(Piper touches the window and it zaps her.)",
"Piper: Ow!",
"Leo: What happened?",
"Piper: I don't know. I think Wyatt put some kind of force field on the dollhouse. Wyatt! Let us out of here.",
"Leo: We know you were trying to help, but daddy needs to get to the hospital.",
"Piper: You're gonna scare him. That's probably why he put us in here in the first place, to protect us.",
"Leo: Great. We're supposed to be protecting him.",
"(Piper sighs.)",
"Piper: Okay. Let me handle Wyatt. This requires a mother's touch. Wyatt Matthew Halliwell! You will stop this nonsense right now!",
"Leo: Wow. First time you used his full name.",
"Piper: It sounds better when I'm scolding him.",
"Leo: I don't think he understands what's going on. All he knows is a demon tried to kill dad. Again.",
"Piper: I don't understand why anyone would attack you. It's not like you're a threat to anyone anymore.",
"Leo: I don't understand how a demon thinks the house would be empty.",
"(Leo lays down on the couch.)",
"Piper: We're not gonna figure out anything from inside here.",
"Leo: At least the furniture is comfortable. You know, for toy furniture. Where'd you get this dollhouse anyway?",
"Piper: Grams made it.",
"Leo: She made it?",
"Piper: I didn't know she was a witch back then. So, obviously, she used some sort of magic. It's pretty perfect. (She turns on the light switch but nothing happens.) Almost perfect.",
"(They hear footsteps.)",
"Leo: What's that?",
"[Cut to the attic. Paige walks in.]",
"Paige: Wyatt and Chris, what are you doing up here?",
"Piper: (from dollhouse) Paige! Paige, down here!",
"Paige: Where's your mummy and daddy? I saw what happened downstairs. Okay. (Piper tries to blow up the window but she is knocked backwards and lands on a coffee table. She groans.) All right, babies, we're gonna go to magic school till we can figure out what happened.",
"(Paige orbs out with Wyatt and Chris.)",
"[Cut to inside the dollhouse. Piper sighs.]",
"Piper: I see he's just as stubborn as someone else I know.",
"[Scene: Underworld. Cave. Zankou is standing there with his eyes closed. The tribe of demons walk up to him.]",
"Craven: Well?",
"Zankou: The house is clear.",
"(Craven touches his wound.)",
"Craven: That's what you said last time.",
"Zankou: A slight miscalculation. But the plan was to get 'em out of the manor, and they are. Probably circling their broomsticks in magic school.",
"Craven: So I'm going back for the Nexus?",
"Zankou: Except this time I'm coming with you. Follow me.",
"(Zankou flames out.)",
"[Cut to the manor. Parlor. Zankou flames in. The tribe of demons appear.]",
"Zankou: The Charmed Ones' ancestral home.",
"Craven: How do we know this isn't a trap?",
"Zankou: We don't. That's why I asked for reinforcement. Give the command.",
"Craven: Spread out. Find the Nexus.",
"[Cut to the attic. Dollhouse.]",
"Piper: How are we gonna get out of here?",
"Leo: We can't. It's useless.",
"Piper: That's all you've got for me? We're just supposed to sit here and do nothing while you bleed to death on the couch?",
"Leo: What do you want me to say? I can't self-heal anymore. Without a doctor...",
"Piper: You used to be a doctor.",
"Leo: Yeah, like sixty years ago.",
"Piper: Well, start acting like one! Come on, Leo, you have to stop focusing on what you can't do, and think about what you can do. Come on, improvise!",
"Leo: All right. Grams used to like to sew, right?",
"Piper: Yeah.",
"Leo: Where?",
"Piper: Wyatt's bedroom used to be her sewing room. Why?",
"[Time lapse. Wyatt's room. Inside the room is clothes and an old sewing machine. Piper and Leo walk in.]",
"Piper: Okay... Now what?",
"Leo: Needle and thread.",
"Piper: Excuse me?",
"Leo: Don't worry, I'll walk you through it.",
"Piper: Walk me through what? Oh, no. No, no, no.",
"Leo: You're the one who said improvise.",
"Piper: Well, since when does anybody listen to me?",
"Leo: You can do this, Piper. Let's prove to Wyatt we can handle whatever's thrown at us. (Leo takes off his shirt.) All right, pull the skin together and stitch it through.",
"Piper: Sure. Easy for you to say.",
"Leo: I'm ready. Do it.",
"Piper: Are you sure?",
"Leo: Hurry.",
"(Piper starts to stitch up his wound. He groans.)",
"[Scene: The Bay Mirror. Phoebe is on the phone.]",
"Phoebe: Where have you been? I've been trying to reach you all day!",
"Elise's Voice: Funny, I've been trying to avoid you all day.",
"Phoebe: That's a good one. Listen, I need to get out of here because there's a crisis at home.",
"Elise: It's always life and death with you Halliwells.",
"Man's Voice: Can I freshen up those drinks?",
"Phoebe: Drinks? What drinks?",
"Elise: Yes, thank you.",
"Phoebe: Wait a minute. What exactly did you say your emergency was?",
"Elise: I didn't. I'm so sorry about that, Richard.",
"(Elise hangs up. Two men walk up to Phoebe.)",
"Man #1: This moron's trying to take a butcher knife to my column!",
"Phoebe: Okay, what seems to be the problem? Obviously, besides the butcher knife.",
"Man #2: Phoebe, it's a great story. Really, it is. It's just a bit bloated.",
"Man #1: Bloated? I'll show you bloated!",
"(He rolls up his sleeves.)",
"Phoebe: You know what? Please don't.",
"Man #1: Look, lady. I've been working the beat in this town for 22 years. And no Ivy League trust funder is gonna tell me how to write the news!",
"Phoebe: You know...",
"(Another man walks up to them.)",
"Man #3: Fashion editor. Sorry to interrupt, but our so-called film critic has been drinking coffee out of my teacup.",
"Man #4: Yeah, I don't know what Jordan's all worked up about, it's a two and a half star coffee mug... at best.",
"(Paige walks in.)",
"Paige: Phoebe, we gotta go.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, I know, I know. I wanna get Zankou as much as you do. Where's Piper?",
"Paige: That's the problem. Piper and Leo have vanished.",
"Phoebe: What do you mean? The boys?",
"Paige: The boys are fine. We have to find their parents.",
"Phoebe: (to the men) Let me ask you a question. Ever push the deadline for the evening edition?",
"Man #1: No. Then it'd be the \"sometime in the middle of the night\" edition.",
"Phoebe: All right, you know what? I'm gonna go into my office for a very important conference call. No interruptions!",
"(Phoebe and Paige walk into Phoebe's office and close the door behind them. They orb out.)",
"[Cut to the manor. Foyer. Phoebe and Paige orb in. They see the demons.]",
"Paige: Oh, goodness.",
"Phoebe: Hope you got a discount on all that leather.",
"(Zankou walks in.)",
"Zankou: That's something I admire about you ladies. Always a clever remark at the face of danger. Though... I'm insulted. Don't you think I warrant the power of three?",
"Paige: Does he know where Piper is?",
"Phoebe: No. How would he know about her nail appointment?",
"Zankou: You'd think she'd be at Magic School attending to her husband.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, well, she didn't want to pay the cancellation fee for the nail appointment.",
"Zankou: You're lying. Somehow the power of two doesn't have the ring to it.",
"(Zankou waves his hands and the front doors fly open. His uses his power to push Phoebe and Paige out the door. They land hard on the porch. He waves his hands again and the doors slam shut.)",
"Phoebe: Now what?",
"[Cut to the attic. Dollhouse. Piper is finishing up stitching Leo's wound.]",
"Leo: Tie if off and cut it.",
"Piper: Scissors. (Leo hands her the scissors.) Aren't you happy you became a mortal?",
"Leo: At least now we can grow old together like every other couple.",
"Piper: That is, if we survive this. Wyatt's so worried, he practically locked us up and threw away the key.",
"Leo: I'll just have to prove to him that I can take care of myself and my family.",
"Piper: Yeah, it would help if we were reinstated to our former size. (They hear footsteps from outside. Piper looks out the window and sees Zankou and Craven.) What's he doing here?",
"Zankou: Post guards throughout the manor. So as they find their sister, they'll be back. We need to fend them off as long as possible.",
"Craven: If we're to find the Nexus?",
"Leo: The Nexus?",
"Piper: Where are Phoebe and Paige?",
"Zankou: I want more than to find the Nexus. I want to release the shadow. Harness its ultimate power.",
"Craven: Can you do that?",
"Zankou: Well, now that evil has taken over control of the manor, I can. And I will.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Manor. Attic. Dollhouse.]",
"Piper: I've can't believe we've been miniature for two hours and demons take over the house. If Zankou taps into the Nexus...",
"Leo: We're not gonna let that happen.",
"Piper: Oh, yeah? How? We're three inches tall.",
"Leo: We're gonna get to the book and contact Phoebe and Paige.",
"Piper: Ah, that book? (She points out the window.) 'Cause A, we're trapped. And B, even if we weren't, those demons could squash us with one foot.",
"Leo: Stay calm.",
"Piper: Now you're telling me.",
"Leo: Wyatt didn't put us in here to get hurt. He put us in here to protect us. There has to be something we're overlooking. Blasting doesn't work.",
"Piper: Yeah, I noticed.",
"Leo: All the doors, the windows are sealed. Listen, how did you play with the dollhouse when you were little?",
"Piper: What do you mean?",
"Leo: I mean, it's a toy, right?",
"Piper: I think you've lost too much blood.",
"Leo: No, listen to me. If it's a toy, it must open. The roof opens up or doors swing open.",
"Piper: I don't know, that was a lot of years ago.",
"Leo: It might be our only shot. Think.",
"Piper: I think it swung open.",
"Leo: Where?",
"(They walk into a room.)",
"Piper: Here.",
"(Leo picks up a chair and smashes it against the wall. He uses a long piece of wood to try and pry open the wall. It doesn't budge.)",
"Leo: Damn it. Blast it.",
"Piper: Blasting doesn't work.",
"Leo: Well, maybe the force field only covers the windows and the doors. So, you know, do it.",
"(Piper winces as she blows up the wall. It comes apart enough for them to get out.)",
"Piper: Now what?",
"Leo: Follow me.",
"(They run outside.)",
"[Cut to Piper's room. Zankou is reading a diary. Craven walks in.]",
"Craven: I believe we've located...",
"Zankou: Do you have any idea how upset Piper was when her sister died?",
"Craven: Sorry?",
"Zankou: Listen to this. \"Prue was always the strong one. Now that she's gone, I don't know if we'll have the strength to keep fighting for good. Or if it's even worth it.\"",
"Craven: Yes, well, if only...",
"Zankou: Humans are slaves to their own emotions. And the strongest emotion is love. That's why Piper didn't leave her husband's side to fight. That was my miscalculation. They would go through hell to stay together. (Craven clears his throat.) What is it?",
"Craven: I believe we have found the Nexus.",
"[Scene: The Bay Mirror. Phoebe's Office. Phoebe is there working. Paige orbs in.]",
"Phoebe: You gotta give me one sec. Any luck with Piper?",
"Paige: No, I've scryed the entire universe and there's no sign of her. Please come back to Magic School with me now.",
"Phoebe: Give me two minutes.",
"Paige: Our sister is missing.",
"Phoebe: And there are fifty jobs on the line if the paper doesn't come out.",
"Paige: You can cancel the subscription to our house if the demons don't get out.",
"Phoebe: Just give me one minute. (Phoebe walks out of her office and over to Man #1.) Okay. Check this out.",
"(She hands him a sheet of paper.)",
"Man #1: Do you think I'm gonna let Ask Phoebe rewrite me?",
"Phoebe: Read now, bitch later! Okay? (She walks over to another man.) So you oversold the space. Let me see the ads. Shrink 'em and print 'em both.",
"Man: We can't do that. Advertisers were promised a certain size.",
"Phoebe: Well, then, make the font bigger. And if they complain, send them a bottle of Cristal on my tab. Actually, on Elise's tab. (to Man #1) What do you think?",
"Man #1: It works.",
"Phoebe: That's what I like to hear. Who's next?",
"(The fashion editor approaches her.)",
"Fashion Editor: First, my teacup. Now he's on my computer.",
"Phoebe: You know what? Isn't this kind of obvious?",
"Fashion Editor: What?",
"Phoebe: He likes you. (They look over at the man sitting at his desk and the man winks. The fashion editor walks away.) Any other questions? No. Okay. I will be in my office, in a meeting. (Phoebe walks back into her office.) Can you believe those guys?",
"Paige: At least they're not pre-pubescent.",
"Phoebe: Paige, Piper, demons.",
"(They orb out.)",
"[Scene: Manor. Basement. Zankou, Craven and two demons are there. The demons have dug a large hole in the ground.]",
"Craven: Are you sure this is a good idea? The Nexus...",
"Zankou: The Nexus is neutral. Controlled by whomever controls the manor.",
"Craven: The shadow is the ultimate power. It could destroy us all.",
"Zankou: Well, then if I'm wrong, it's been a pleasure. (Zankou chants a spell. A dark cloud rises from the ground and devours the demons.) Good must still be present in the manor.",
"Craven: No, no. That's not possible. You expelled the witches yourself.",
"Zankou: Only two. That means the third one must still be here. That's probably what they came here for.",
"Craven: So, what do we do?",
"Zankou: We find her.",
"[Cut to the attic. Piper and Leo have climbed up onto the Book of Shadows.]",
"Leo: Are you okay?",
"Piper: My arms are a little sore, but I'm not the one with a hole in my back.",
"Leo: All right. Let's tweak the scrying spell so Phoebe and Paige know where we are.",
"Piper: Don't you think they've scryed already?",
"Leo: Well, if they did, it wouldn't have worked. Wyatt's shield on the dollhouse would have protected us. It must be the same reason Zankou didn't know where we are.",
"Piper: And now that we're out?",
"Leo: We have to hurry. All right, help me flip these pages.",
"Piper: Wait, I got a better idea.",
"Leo: What?",
"Piper: Look out. (Piper blows up the edge of the book and the pages turn. The demons standing near the door look around the room.) You think they noticed?",
"Leo: I don't know.",
"Piper: Hope this works.",
"Leo: It has to.",
"[Scene: Magic School. Phoebe and Paige are making a potion.]",
"Paige: Okay, this whole calling a lost witch stuff is much harder without the book.",
"Phoebe: Maybe we didn't scry hard enough. Should we try again?",
"Paige: I told you it didn't work.",
"Phoebe: Okay! Okay, you know what? It says a pinch of rosemary, Paige. A pinch.",
"Paige: Sorry. I wasn't paying attention.",
"Phoebe: I'm glad to know the future of magic is in such good hands.",
"Paige: People have been telling me that a lot lately. (The scrying crystal floats into the air.) Oh my god. Are you seeing what I'm seeing?",
"Phoebe: Yeah, and I don't believe it.",
"(The crystal points to a place on the map.)",
"Paige: That's our house. Piper must be there.",
"Phoebe: Or it's a trap.",
"Paige: But scrying is witch-to-witch stuff. It has to be her.",
"Phoebe: Okay, but the house it crawling with demons. How are we gonna find her?",
"Paige: One way to find out.",
"Phoebe: Oh, god.",
"(Paige orbs out with Phoebe.)",
"[Cut to the manor. Bathroom. Phoebe and Paige orb in. Phoebe opens the door slightly and peeks out. A demon walks past.]",
"Phoebe: We gotta get past the guard.",
"Paige: We can't use anymore magic, otherwise Zankou will sense us.",

"Paige: Okay, fine. Then we won't use any more magic.",
"Phoebe: I have an idea.",
"[Cut to the kitchen. Zankou and Craven are there.]",
"Zankou: She's here. She's here. I know she's not alone. Speed the search. We've got company.",
"Craven: Yes, sir. But we may have already found Piper.",
"[Cut to the hallway. The demon walks past the bathroom and Phoebe kicks him in the head. He falls to the floor.]",

"Paige: The book.",
"(They go up to the attic and knock another demon unconscious.)",

"(An energy ball appears in his hand.)",
"Zankou: Perhaps you would like to go first.",
"Phoebe: Hold on. You need us... to open the Nexus.",
"Zankou: Nice try. Shall I start with you instead?",
"Paige: No, because you need us to get the shadow.",
"(The energy ball disappears.)",
"Zankou: I'm listening.",
"Piper: (from inside box) What are they doing?",
"Demon: They're stalling.",
"Craven: Just kill them and evil will control the Nexus this time.",
"Paige: This time? What do you mean? You've tried before?",
"Phoebe: I bet they lost some demons too. Yeah, we've had some experience with the Nexus.",
"Craven: They're lying.",
"Zankou: No. I read Piper's diary. I guess I'll need to make her big again for you to do this.",
"Craven: Zankou. They just want you to restore the power of three.",
"Paige: But what's that compared to the power of the shadow?",
"Zankou: So what is in it for you?",
"Paige: We live to fight another day. And if we do die, we go down kicking and screaming.",
"Piper: (inside box) I'm not leaving you.",
"Leo: (from inside box) You have to.",
"Piper: (from inside box) If Zankou gets the shadow, then we'll never stop him.",
"Leo: (from inside box) The shadow won't know where to go. Look, I might've lost my powers but I didn't lost what I know about magic. Trust me. Do what he wants.",
"(Zankou reaches into the box and pulls out Piper by her hair.)",
"Piper: Hey, put me down!",
"Zankou: You try anything...",

"Piper: No, but I'm hoping Leo does.",
"(They stand around the hole in the ground.)",
"Zankou: Proceed. (He hands Paige a spell. The sisters say the spell and the shadow rises out of the hole.) What's happening?",
"Piper: Leo?",
"(The shadow enters the box and Leo becomes life-size. The shadow has entered Leo.)",
"Zankou: What have you done?",
"(Leo pushes Zankou against the wall with a blast of black smoke. The demons throw their boomerangs at Leo but they harmlessly rebound off him.

"Piper: Honey, are you okay?",
"(Leo groans and sits up.)",
"Leo: Yeah. I'm all right.",
"Paige: What happened?",
"Leo: The shadows couldn't choose between Zankou's evil or the power of three. So it went to the only neutral territory... me.",

"(They smile at each other.)",

"Leo: Well, on that unhappy note, I gotta get back to the manor and clean up the mess after the demons. It's probably gonna take a while to sort it all out.",

"Leo: Yeah.",

"Phoebe: No. We want you to run it.",
"Paige: Huh? What's going on here?",
"Phoebe: We were thinking since you're dying to try something new...",
"Leo: And Leo being perfect for the job. Considering your magic know-how you're practically a walking Book of Shadows.",

"The Charmed Ones are in a race against time when the mythological Pandora's Box falls into the hands of Katya, a shape shifting demon who intends to open the box and fill the world with all of the evils, illnesses, diseases, sorrows and toils contained within. Phoebe and Piper try to find Hope, the Guardian who can return any released evils to the box. Meanwhile, Paige's Whitelighter side starts to grow stronger and she is able to hear the Elder's call. At Leo and an Elder named Sandra's suggestion, Paige is sent to save a future Whitelighter and gets trapped in an elevator with people she has to save. She does so and returns home in time to help out. Using her new Whitelighter powers, Paige disguises herself as Hope and tricks Kataya. Paige vanquishes her, saves Hope's friend Darcy and sends her home with Pandora's Box where Hope is able to return all of the sorrows to where they belong. Paige meets with Sandra who reveals that Paige herself was the future Whitelighter she was meant to save and says that Paige has proved she can handle Whitelighter duties as well as Charmed ones. Sandra tells her that being a Whitelighter can be very fulfilling for her and suggests to Paige that perhaps being a Whitelighter is the life separate from magic she was looking for."

"Female Demon: It's Nina, right?",
"Nina: You'll never get it. I won't let you.",
"Female Demon: I didn't ask for your permission. (Nina stands up. Female demon chuckles.) It's only a matter of time before I get the box.",
"Nina: Over my dead body.",
"Female Demon: Now that's the thing with you Guardians. You're always dying for that damn box.",
"Nina: Not always.",
"(Nina blasts the demon, but she hovers and lands. She takes out a dagger.)",

"(She throws the dagger at Nina, and she catches it. Female Demon smirks. They fight and grab each other. One of them is stabbed. The box disappears.)",

"Paige: Phoebe?",
"Phoebe's Voice: Coming! (She walks in with a cup.) Coming. I used castor root this time. It should dull all the senses.",
"(The whine fades out.)",
"Paige: I don't care. Just give it to me. (Phoebe sits down. Paige takes the cup and a drink. Phoebe watches.) Thank you. (Phoebe smiles.) Do you mind?",
"Phoebe: Do I mind what?",
"(The whine starts up again.)",
"Paige: Looking so psychotically perky... (The whining stops.) While I'm so miserable?",
"(The whining starts.)",
"Phoebe: You know, maybe it's psychosomatic. I mean, the inner ear has to do with balance, so maybe you're feeling imbalance because the whole magic school thing.",

"(Phoebe leans forward. Paige slaps her.)",
"Phoebe: Ow! (She chuckles.) What was that for?",
"Paige: Does that seem psychomatic to you?",

"Phoebe: Hey, big boy. I thought it was bath time.",
"Leo's Voice: Uh, it is. (Leo walks in. He kneels down next to Wyatt. Paige puts the cup down.) Uh, hey, buddy. That was, uh, pretty funny, but I don't think mommy's going to think so.",
"Phoebe: What's going on?",
"Leo: Uh, I think the terrible twos have begun.",
"Phoebe: Oh, well, magical boys will be magical boys.",
"Leo: Yeah, well, try explaining that to his magical mama. (To Wyatt) Listen, I think you better orb back upstairs before mommy turns you into a toad.",

"Leo: What's the matter?",
"Phoebe: She has a ringing in her ears.",
"Paige: No. It's more like a jackhammer.",
"Leo: Really? Is it kind of like a dentist's drill that kind of goes in and out?",
"(The whining stops.)",
"Paige: Yeah.",
"Phoebe: Why, you know what it is?",
"Leo: Well, it could be your Whitelighter powers coming on. (The whining starts. Leo kneels down.) You know, you could be hearing the call from the Elders. (The whining stops.) Before I learned to control my powers, it used to drive me nuts.",
"Paige: No. That's unacceptable.",
"(The whining starts.)",
"Leo: Okay. Well, you're half-Whitelighter. (The sound stops.) You can't deny that.",

"Piper: Ah, I see you've been talking to Leo, haven't you?",
"Phoebe: Look, just because you guys have completely different parenting styles doesn't mean you can take it out on me. I'm just the sister.",
"Piper: And whose side are you on, exactly?",
"(Phoebe chuckles.)",
"Nina: Back to the box?",
"Piper: Right. Okay. Let me guess. A demon took it.",
"Nina: No. But we better find the next Guardian before one does.",
"Phoebe: Guardian?",
"Nina: Like you, we're chosen beings, part of a magical lineage, one in which every generation a girl is born, meant to guard Pandora's Box.",
"Piper: Right, hence the name 'Guardian'. Got it.",
"Nina: Only, each girl is trained by the previous Guardian, instructed carefully about the dangers and powers of the box, except the next one hasn't been.",
"Phoebe: I'm not following.",
"Nina: When Katya the demon attacked me, the box, perhaps sensing the danger, disappeared on its own, moving on to its next Guardian.",
"Piper: And you don't know who that is.",
"Nina: No. I guess I wasn't expected to survive.",
"Phoebe: So, what does Katya want with the box?",
"Nina: She wants to open it and release the world's ills: Sorrow, famine, plagues, all the evil inside.",

"Darcy: You're right.",
"Blonde Girl: Mm-hmm.",

"[Scene: Magic School. Paige hears the whine and covers her ears. She sighs. The whine fades out. Leo and Female Elder are there.]",
"Female Elder: This is the global alert, Paige, one that only a Whitelighter can hear. You should be looking at this as if it was a gift rather than a problem.",
"Paige: A problem, for me, is when Leo rearranges my books here. I would classify this as a root canal?",
"(The whining starts.)",
"Female Elder: Nevertheless, this is who you are, who you have become.",
"(The whining stops.)",
"Paige: Well, I don't want to become it, so fix it already!",
"Female Elder: Fix it?",
"Leo: Yeah, I don't think she wants to hear the call, ever.",
"Female Elder: Well, that's impossible. She doesn't have a choice. (The whining starts.) It would be as if you wished to no longer breathe.",
"Paige: If this ringing doesn't stop, maybe I don't want to. (The whining stops.) Look, I just left magic school, okay? The last thing I want to deal with is you Elders.",
"Female Elder: I know, Paige, that in the past we have had our differences, but becoming a Whitelighter is as natural a part of your unfolding destiny as becoming a charmed one.",
"Leo: Perhaps if you explained to her why you called the alert.",
"Female Elder: We sensed a great threat, one which we have not yet been able to isolate. That is why we need every Whitelighter to be vigilant.",
"(The whining starts.)",
"Paige: Well, not this Whitelighter. Okay, just make it stop already.",
"(The whining stops.)",
"Leo: You know, maybe if Paige...helped a Whitelighter-to-be instead?",
"(The whining starts and stops.)",
"Female Elder: That's a possibility.",
"Paige: Why? What would that do?",

"Phoebe: We won't let that happen. I promise. Look, we do this all the time.",
"(She starts to scry.)",
"Piper: Maybe we need a stronger connection.",
"Nina: I don't know what else to try.",
"(The scrying crystal hits the map.)",
"Phoebe: Oh!",
"Piper: UC Berkeley. It's on the campus. (Nina starts to leave.) Whoa! Where are you going?",
"Nina: You've done your jobs. Now I have to go do mine.",
"Piper: Wait; you saw where that got you last time. Why don't you let us go with you?",
"Nina: I can't let you risk it.",
"Piper: Well, we can't let you risk it, either, not as long as there's a demon after that box.",
"(Nina sighs.)",
"Nina: All right, but I'll transport us there. It'll be faster.",
"Phoebe: What about the Elders?",
"Piper: What about them?",
"Phoebe: Well, I mean, it's Pandora's Box. We should probably tell them something.",

"Piper: Hi! My name is Piper, and this is-this is Nina, and we wanted to talk to you about something you...received, I guess, would be a good word for it.",
"Blonde Girl: Uh, look, whatever you're selling, I'm not interested. My friend's in trouble and if I don't...",
"Nina: You have come into possession of something more powerful than anything you have ever known.",
"Piper: Yeah, okay, see, I was going to go with the less intimidating tactic, but...",
"Blonde Girl: What are you talking about?",
"Nina: The box. Where is it?",
"Blonde Girl: Uh...",
"(Nina walks over and picks up the box. Piper comes in and closes the door.)",
"Nina: How did it come to you?",
"Blonde Girl: I don't know. It was just there. What is going on? What is the...",
"Piper: You haven't by any chance been taking some Greek mythology classes, have ya?",
"Nina: Pandora's box, a gift the Gods gave to Prometheus, one that contained all of the evils of the world, until Pandora unleashed it on an unsuspecting people. (In Kayta's voice) I hope to do the same.",
"Piper: Aw, crap. (Nina shapeshifts into Kayata. Blonde Girl steps back.) Oh yeah, this is not good. This is not good at all.",
"[Scene: Manor. Attic. The Female Elder is there with Phoebe.]",
"Female Elder: This explains the global alert.",
"Phoebe: Alert? What are you talking about?",
"Female Elder: The one that Paige heard and every other Whitelighter. Pandora's Box exists solely to tempt. It's part of the grand design. If mankind chooses to open it again, so be it, but Guardians are supposed to protect it from being opened by demons.",
"Phoebe: So, then we should be fine. Piper and Nina...",
"Female Elder: Nina never should've let it out of her sight.",
"Phoebe: Well, apparently, she didn't have a choice. Uh, the box moved on to its next Guardian by itself.",
"Female Elder: Oh, that's not possible. It can't move on unless the prior Guardian was already dead.",
"Phoebe: Okay, you need to orb me to Piper immediately.",

"Piper: She was a...",
"Phoebe: A demon pretending to be...",
"Piper: A guardian, just like you.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, uh, Nina's dead, by the way.",
"Piper: Yeah, I figured. Not now.",
"Hope: (to Piper) You! You blew up my dorm...with your hands!",
"Piper: Yes, and I am very sorry about that.",
"Hope: Oh. Ha. Now you're both calm, like this kind of stuff happens every day!",
"Piper: Well, it kind of does.",
"Phoebe: You see, uh...we're witches.",
"Hope: What?",
"Piper: We can explain all of this in great detail much later, but right now, we need to get you goin'.",
"Phoebe: And fast. I'm feeling a little...",
"Piper: Bummed? Yeah, I know. Nina, or Katya I'm assuming, said that it was the first wave of sorrow from the box.",
"Phoebe: Great, so like a little appetizer? And she's obviously immune to it, cause she seems more freaked than bummed.",
"Piper: Well, can you blame her?",
"Hope: What are you two talking about?",
"(Piper smiles.)",
"Piper: We just need to know one thing that's...kind of important. Did you open the box?",
"(Hope shrugs.)",
"Hope: Only for a second. Some sort of dust came out, and then I shut it.",
"Piper: Well, from the sounds of the dorm out there, I'd say it was long enough. Shall we go?",
"Hope: Oh, I am not going anywhere with you people. You burst in here talking about Pandora's Box and guardians and witches and god knows what else. (She begins to leave.) Now you expect me to leave with you.",
"Phoebe: Okay, look; I know exactly how you feel. When we first found out we were witches, it was really scary because, well, we didn't have anyone to guide us, but we can help you. You just have to come with us.",

"(Katya sighs.)",
"Katya: There must be a way.",
"Demon: Well, at least now that we've got it, she can't put the sorrow she let out back in.",
"Katya: Yeah, but she didn't let out enough. Within lies the power to destroy cities, crumble empires, devastate all that is good in the world.",
"Demon: All this just to impress Zankou? Hey, just asking.",
"Katya: Oh, for too long I've had to watch lesser demons rewarded, been denied my proper place in the forefront. No. Zankou will no longer be able to deny me after this.",
"Demon: Why don't you just shape shift into a Guardian?",
"Katya: Mmm. Taking the physical form of a Guardian doesn't make me one. No. It will know.",
"Demon: Then what are you going to do?",
"Katya: I'll make her open it for me.",
"(The demon and Katya smile.)",
"[Scene: Manor. Living room. Piper and Leo enter. Phoebe sits with Hope.]",
"Piper: There was nothing in the book on Katya, and scrying for the box did not work.",

"Leo: It's a place where you can learn more about your gifts.",
"Hope: Are you a witch, too?",
"Piper: No, he's a-he's-he's a long story.",
"Leo: One that worked out well.",
"Hope: This is all so complicated.",
"Phoebe: Look, I know this is really hard to understand, but this is what you're meant to do.",
"Hope: No. I'm meant to finish school, party, have fun. I don't even know if I believe in magic. (Wyatt orbs in with his teddy bear. Hope gasps.) Oh! Where did he come from?",
"Piper: Ah... (She chuckles and pulls Wyatt toward her.) Uh, sorry. He's not supposed to do that without permission. Don't scare the pretty girl, okay?",

"Hope: It's my friend Darcy. I have to help her.",

"(Hope runs out of the house.)",
"Piper: Phoebe? You okay?",
"(Phoebe stands up.)",
"Phoebe: God, aren't you tired of asking me that?",

"Paige: Right when we got stuck.",

"Piper: Globally, nothing. Personally, I need him to wrangle Wyatt for a day so he can see what I'm talking about.",
"Phoebe: Piper, you know what Wyatt is going through is completely normal.",
"Piper: No, temper tantrums are normal. Uncontrollable crying is normal. Orbing all over town is not normal.",
"Phoebe: He's not orbing all over town.",
"Piper: Not yet. Look, it's not that I have a problem with him being magical, because if I did I would've bound his powers at birth. It's just that he needs to learn that he can't use his powers whenever he wants to, and Leo needs to understand that, too.",
"Phoebe: I think he does. I just think he deals with it differently.",
"Piper: Well, we'll see how Mr. Mom deals with it after he's been chasing around the kid now that Leo can't orb.",
"Phoebe: You guys will figure it out.",
"Piper: You know, you have been much more optimistic lately.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, I guess I have hope. I mean, we lost Hope the person, but I have, you know...",
"Piper: I got it. I found something.",
"Phoebe: About the box?",
"Piper: No, the demon. Nothing new. Says she's a shape-shifter.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, we found out about that the hard way. Won't happen again.",
"Piper: She used to work for Demonic Dark Lords, then she went rogue. How very enterprising of her.",
"Phoebe: She probably just wants to make a name for herself.",
"Piper: Why is it that every demon who is trying to make a name for themself has to go and try to end the world?",
"Phoebe: Why don't we ponder that fact while we scry for her?",
"(She starts scrying.)",
"Piper: Well, even if we find her, we have no way of getting there. We're short an orber.",
"Phoebe: Well, we'll have to come up with something. I mean, this place is called magic school for a reason, right?",
"[Scene: Underworld. Hope and Kayta are there. Kayta smiles.]",
"Katya: I won't hurt you, Hope. I promise. I know you're new to all this, and I know all this can be very scary.",
"Hope: Where's Darcy? She's not a part of this.",
"Katya: Isn't she? I mean, she's merely a pawn in all this. A pawn like you are. Whatever they told you, I know it was a lot to handle. You know, I've been told that I'm part of something. A greater purpose I think they called it. But you know what? It was all a lie. I mean, who the hell do they think they are, ruining your life like this, telling you that you're meant to watch after Pandora's box?",
"Hope: I don't even know what it really is.",
"Katya: You shouldn't have to know. You didn't ask for this. You don't want it. It's unfair.",
"Hope: I just want my life back.",
"Katya: And I can help you get it back. All you have to do is help me. Open the box and you'll be free from it...forever.",
"Hope: But won't that...",
"Katya: End all this craziness? Well, that's what you want, isn't it? To go home...with your friend? Go ahead. Open the box.",
"(Whispers are heard. Hope hesitates.)",
"Hope: No...I can't. I won't.",
"Katya: Fine. I tried asking you nicely. Now I'll have to make you do it. Lucius!",

"Paige: Okay, honey, I need you to breathe. Just breathe.",
"(Roger hits the doors.)",
"Roger: Damn it!",
"(Linda scoffs.)",
"Linda: Big man.",
"Paige: Can you two get along for two seconds?",
"Linda: Hasn't happened in three years. Why do you think we're in marriage counseling?",
"Roger: Do you have to air out all our problems?",
"Linda: Oh, airing out our problems is your biggest concern? (Businessman gets zapped and falls unconscious. Roger pulls Linda aside.) Oh, my god!",
"(Paige goes and checks on Businessman.)",

"(Roger kneels down.)",
"Paige: (To Linda) I need you to sing to her.",
"Linda: Sing?",
"Paige: Just sing. Get her breathing in order. (Daughter gasps for breathe.) Anything. Just sing. (Linda holds daughter and starts singing \"Hush Little Baby\".) I need you to put two fingers above the xyphoid process.",

"Roger: The what?",
"Linda: Honey...you can do this, honey.",
"(Roger nods.)",
"Roger: All right.",

"Hope: But you said...",
"Katya: That I wasn't going to hurt you? Yeah. I lied. (The demon appears in the doorway.) Since the next Guardian hasn't been born yet and with you dead, there won't be anyone around to put everything back.",
"(She throws the dagger. Hope blasts the dagger away and stands up. Piper and Phoebe appear.)",
"Piper: We're too late. (She blows the demon up. Hope gasps. Katya takes the box and disappears.) Minions!",

"Piper: Where is she?",
"(Hope points.)",
"Hope: That way.",

"Paige: Okay, well, I guess your day trumps my day. Thanks for bringing me home to clean up the mess, though. Is anybody else feeling blue?",
"Phoebe: It's the effects of the box being opened.",
"Piper: Okay, there's still a demon on the loose, and the longer he is, the more we're all going to be affected.",
"Katya: Yeah, exactly. Um, this is crazy. We need to leave.",
"Phoebe: You're safer here.",

"Hope: It's okay, Darcy. They can protect us.",
"Katya: Hope, that thing was trying to kill us. She wants to kill them. We're sitting ducks here.",
"Piper: Not as much as you are out there. As long as Katya knows that Hope can put all the evils back in the box, she is a very large target.",
"Phoebe: Which means you are, too.",
"Katya: No, not if she doesn't go along with it. Look, no one says that you even have to care about this stupid box anymore.",
"Paige: Actually, she does. You see, because it's her birthright.",
"Katya: Says you. (Paige rolls her eyes.) Hope, listen to me, okay? We don't even know these people. For all we know, they could be the demon.",
"Piper: Ah! That's ridiculous.",
"Katya: Is it? She's done it before. That's what she does, right? (To sisters) Right? Hope, we can only trust each other.",
"Hope: You're right.",
"Piper: Hope...",
"Phoebe: No, actually, I think she is right.",
"Paige: Phoebe!",
"Phoebe: We can't make her do something she doesn't want to do. This is her path to either follow or not. But before you leave, Hope; let Paige show you how to contact us, god forbid anything. (To Piper and Katya) We'll see you downstairs.",
"(Piper takes Katya and leaves.)",
"[Cut downstairs. Leo holds Chris.]",

"Piper: Sure.",
"(Leo leaves.)",
"Katya: What's taking them so long up there?",
"Piper: I don't know. What's your hurry?",

"Katya: Actually, not for long.",
"Hope: Okay, you heard me say it, and I meant it. I do not want anything to do with that box. I swear!",
"Katya: But you will...in time. You'll come to believe in yourself, your powers, just like Pandora did. And then you'll want to get the box back, put the sorrows back...but, see, I can't let that happen.",
"(She takes out a dagger. Hope stands up.)",
"Hope: You won't have a choice.",
"(Katya laughs. Darcy stands up.)",

"(She orbs into Paige.)",
"Paige: Sorry we haven't met before, but I've been otherwise engaged!",
"(She throws a potion at Katya. She is vanquished.)",
"Darcy: What-what is going on here?!",
"Paige: It's okay. It's okay. I'm here to get you home, all right? Pandora's box! (It orbs to Paige.) I need you to give this to Hope for me. I'd give it to her myself, but there's somebody I have to see. (She waves her hand.) Home!",

"(She gives the box to Hope.)",
"Hope: I don't...",
"Phoebe: Listen to me. This is your destiny.",
"Piper: Just like becoming witches was ours.",
"Hope: I just...uh, don't know if I can do this.",
"Darcy: You're forgetting something about Pandora's box. According to myth, when all the sorrows are released, there was one thing left at the bottom of the box-hope.",
"Phoebe: You can do it. (Hope opens the box. The black dust comes and swirls around, then goes back into the box. It closes.) Told you you could do it.",
"Hope: Thank you.",
"[Scene: Golden Gate Bridge. Paige is there. Female Elder orbs in.]",
"Female Elder: How are the ears?",
"Paige: Better, thank you. It was pretty risky of you, sending me off to help a future Whitelighter.",
"Female Elder: Was it?",
"Paige: Yes. We almost didn't get Pandora's box.",
"Female Elder: But you did get it back.",
"Paige: Yes.",
"Female Elder: Which proves that you can handle both your Charmed and your Whitelighter responsibilities.",
"Paige: I don't see what that has to do with...",
"Female Elder: Didn't it make you feel so proud, accomplishing what you did in that elevator?",
"Paige: Of course, I did.",
"Female Elder: And you did it all by yourself, without your sisters. Maybe this is what you have been searching for, Paige, your separate identity. Being a Whitelighter can give you that and much more.",
"Paige: Like what?",
"Female Elder: Fulfillment. You're a natural, Paige. Everything you've been and done in your life has been preparing you to be a Whitelighter. Everything you needed to help those people has been inside of you all along.",
"Paige: Well, it did feel good to save them.",
"Female Elder: Then don't fight that. Embrace it, not for me, not for the Elders, but for yourself. Think about it?",
"(Female Elder smiles.)",
"Paige: Wait. Just out of curiosity, who was the future Whitelighter I was supposed to save?",
"Female Elder: You were.",
"(Paige chuckles. Female Elder orbs out.)",
"[Scene: Manor. Conservatory. Leo holds Chris. He gives Wyatt, who's on the floor, a ball. Piper walks in.]",
"Piper: So how was your day?",
"Leo: Very funny. Actually, it was all right. It calmed down a bit once Wyatt tried to orb a toy to himself and hit himself in the head.",
"Piper: Oh, no.",
"Leo: It's okay. It was just a little bump, but it was enough to teach him that he shouldn't do it again.",
"Piper: Is that your way of telling me that magical boys will be magical boys again?",
"Leo: No. You know, we both need to teach him when and where to use his powers, though it's not going to be easy.",
"Piper: And on the other hand, we do need to realize that he is who he is, and even though I want a normal family. (She sits down.) I don't want it at the expense of them finding their own identities.",
"Leo: Well, uh, Chris here is going to be coming into his powers shortly. It could get a little nuts around here.",
"Piper: As opposed to what?",
"(Leo chuckles.)",
"Leo: Yeah.",
"Piper: We'll deal with it as it comes, together. And until then... (To Wyatt) Why don't you show mommy all those cool tricks you've been learning? Go ahead. It's okay.",

"After a spell is cast on Phoebe by the 'ugliest' demon in the Underworld, beauty-hungry sorceress Imara, their souls switch bodies and Phoebe ends up becoming trapped in a cage. Paige is in quandary when her first charge (Seamus Dever) appears to be lost to the dark side. Then by accident The Charmed Ones vanquish Phoebe's soul. They realize that Imara was in Phoebe's body, so they vanquish Imara (but not Phoebe's body) and get back Phoebe's soul. In the end Phoebe is yelling at her sisters."

"Paige: Well, good news is I don't think she remembers meeting us. Thank god",

"Imara: I don't have time for soon. (Imara advances on Lantos.) I need a lock of hair now. The only way to weaken Zankou is to take out his most trusted lieutenants. Daleek, Benzor, Linson ... all above ground. All of whom I can only get to with the help of the beautiful Charmed Ones. (She smirks at him.) Tell me, Lantos. (she runs her fingertips down the side of his face) Do you think I'm beautiful, too?",
"Lantos: Of course. (One of the pretty handmaidens laughs under her breath. Imara rounds on her, grabbing her by her hand and turning her around to reveal two ugly scars running down the side of her face across her cheekbones.)",
"Imara: Do you want another scar? I can make you look like me in no time, you know. To your chambers.",
"(The two handmaidens leave.)",
"Imara: We can't wait any longer. I reported to the source. I won't do the",
"same with his successor.",
"Lantos: Then I'll need at least a half a dozen more demons.",
"Imara: You can't overcome the sisters with force, especially not Piper. And since she'll be expecting another attack, I need you to go after a different sister instead now. Phoebe.",
"Lantos: Why not Paige? She's less intuitive, more predictable.",
"Imara: But she's also a whitelighter now, which puts her in constant contact with the Elders. Besides, Phoebe's a celebrity ... idolized, envied. The way I deserve to be. And someday will be.",

"(Piper puts a jar back in the cabinet.)",
"Phoebe: (interrupts) No. But I'm a columnist. And they're saying that I could",
"actually be sued if I give bad advice. So they want every one of my columns to be reviewed by a professional shrink.",
"Piper: Okay. Well, technically, you're not a real shrink. So, as I was -",
"Phoebe: (scoffs) Excuse me? Bachelor's degree, four years. And besides, my readers don't care about my credentials, all they care about is my insight.",
"Piper: Yes, that is true. Now, why don't you direct that famous insight towards the fact that I was attacked at P-3 today?",
"Phoebe: Oh, my god. Are you okay?",

"Phoebe: Huh.",
"Piper: Here.",
"(Piper hands her a potions vial filled with red liquid. Phoebe looks at it.)",
"Phoebe: What's this?",
"Piper: New policy. We carry them for protection at all times.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but if we don't know what kind of demon it is--",
"Piper: Well, it doesn't matter. If it doesn't kill them, it will at least stun",
"them.",
"Phoebe: Wow. And I thought I was on a rampage.",
"Piper: Well, I'm sending the underworld a message. Basically, back off, and let me live my life.",
"Phoebe: And I'm going to help you with that, but first I have to deal with my column. You want me to have a life, too, don't you?",
"Piper: If you must.",
"(And with that, Phoebe leaves the kitchen.)",

"(The assistant leaves. Leo turns back to Paige who is sitting across his desk.)",
"Leo: So you bombed with your charge, huh?",
"Paige: Yeah. I'd say majorly.",
"Leo: Well, don't let it get you down. Reluctant charges come with the",
"territory.",
"Paige: Well, I'm kind of wishing the Elders could've maybe given me a little bit more to go on. Let's see. I know that they told me he's had several whitelighters, and he has the power of hyperspeed. I pretty much could've found that out on Google.",
"(There's a jingle.)",

"Leo: What do you mean?",
"Paige: Well, I was the headmistress of this school for a year. And, uh, you make it look easy, and I know it's anything but.",
"Leo: Thanks.",
"Paige: So, you need an assistant?",
"(She smiles at him.)",
"Leo: Paige.",
"Paige: What? I don't think I'm cut out for this whitelighter stuff. And I",
"still don't trust the Elders.",
"Leo: Why, because they didn't tell you everything you needed to know about Mitchell? They don't tell you anything. They want you to get to know your charges yourself.",
"Paige: Okay, then why do they send me out to some guy who hates whitelighters and doesn't even want to talk to me?",
"Leo: Well, you've got to find a way to make him talk. It's your job. You're his guide. Look, Paige, if you don't get him to use his powers, there's a lot of future innocents that are going to be lost.",
"Paige: Gee, thanks. No pressure there.",
"Leo: The Elders wouldn't give you this assignment if they didn't think you could handle it. Use your instincts. Be creative. Look, once I had these charges who were a little less than willing to use their powers. So I had to assimilate myself into their lives, get them to trust me before I could help them. Pretended to be a handy man, worked like a charm.",
"Paige: Let me guess. You married one of them?",
"Leo: Well, let's just say that the Charmed Ones make Mitchell look like a piece of cake.",

"Imara (IN Phoebe): Soul swapping? No, I don't buy it.",
"Leo: Well, if it was voodoo, they could have just stolen a comb or brush to get the hair. See, soul swapping is more powerful. It requires fresh ingredients, which explains why they needed the freshly cut hair.",
"Imara (IN Phoebe): Yeah, but demons have tried to impersonate us before, and it's never worked. I mean, we just ... know each other too well.",

"Imara (IN Phoebe): What he said.",

"(Wyatt smiles.)",
"Wyatt: Yeah.",
"Leo: Wyatt?",
"(He walks over to him. Vicus puts a finger over his lips.)",
"Vicus: Shh! Remember... I'm a secret, right? (Wyatt smiles and laughs.) Hey, I really like your teddy bear. Maybe you'll let me hold him someday, huh? I've got a great surprise for both of you.",

"[Cut to Conservatory. Piper is writing a spell.]",
"Piper: Shoot. What rhymes with communicate?",
"Paige: Are you sure this is a good idea?",
"Piper: Of course I'm sure.",
"Paige: But what about the whole personal gain thing?",
"Piper: Wyatt created a demon who kidnapped him and a dragon that nearly destroyed the city. I'm not really worried about personal gain.",
"(Paige sighs.)",
"Paige: I know. I guess just cause I'm Whitelighter now, have to think of these things, right?",
"Piper: Besides, we're casting it on ourselves so we can try to understand what he's not telling us. So if I switch this and I leave that... okay.",

"Piper: Yeah.",
"Paige: Back from where?",
"Future Wyatt: The future.",
"(Piper groans.)",
"Piper: Oh, no! No, no, no! We wanted to communicate with you-I mean the younger you, the two and a half year-old you.",
"Future Wyatt: Well, if there's one thing you guys taught me, magic may work in mysterious ways, but it always works.",
"Paige: Where'd you hear that? That's nice.",
"Future Wyatt: I'm surprised to hear you ask. In the future you're always telling me that.",
"Paige: Oh! Well, that's the future me. I'm me now who clearly doesn't have those kind of brilliant thoughts.",
"Future Wyatt: Right. Look, all I'm saying is if your spell brought me here, there's gotta be a good reason.",
"Piper: Well, I don't know. Do you remember anything about what you were going through when you were 2 ½?",
"Future Wyatt: No, not really.",
"Piper: So then we're still looking for that reason.",
"Future Wyatt: But still this is a fantastic opportunity that magic's brought us. I mean, for me to see the past and for you guys to learn about the future.",
"(He starts looking around the manor.)",
"Piper: Oh, no, no. No, no, no. We don't want to know anything about the future. We don't want to risk changing it again.",
"Future Wyatt: Again?",
"Paige: Don't ask.",
"Future Wyatt: Okay. But until we find out why magic brought me back, we could at least try and enjoy the moment, right?",
"Piper: How did you become such an optimist?",
"Future Wyatt: From you, mom.",
"(Future Wyatt walks away. Paige scoffs a laugh and nudges Piper.)",

"Future Wyatt: This is so amazing!",
"Phoebe: What, did a spell backfire?",
"Paige: How'd you guess?",
"Phoebe: Yeah.",
"Piper: Yeah, well, you know. What did your professor say?",
"Phoebe: Well, she said that he probably was talking to an imaginary friend. I mean not-not you. You know, the other you when you were...this is gonna be so confusing.",
"Future Wyatt: You'll get used to it.",
"Paige: Okay, imaginary friends. Ring any bells for you?",
"Future Wyatt: I'm afraid not.",

"Paige: Look, mister, I'm pulling double duty here, okay? So no guilt from the future for me.",
"Piper: Okay, you know what? Can we focus on helping him, please?",
"Future Wyatt: Look, all I'm saying is that 'someone' always told me that Whitelighters are the glue that keeps the magic world working.",

"Paige: Don't be so surprised. Do I ever have a life in the future?",
"Future Wyatt: You should go, really. We'll figure this out.",

"Phoebe: Future son.",
"Future Wyatt: Hey, is this Chris? Oh, my gosh! He's so small. Hey, little brother. Is this before of after he swallowed the marble?",
"Piper: Marble? What marble?",
"Phoebe: Easy on the future information.",
"Future Wyatt: Of course, you're right.",
"Piper: No, but really, what marble?",

"Hugo: What other witch?",
"Vicus: The one who saw me. Now how is that possible?",
"Hugo: It doesn't matter. They know you now. I told you this was going to be too dangerous.",
"Vicus: I made it so that only Wyatt could see me.",
"Hugo: Well, then they must've found a way through your powers.",
"Vicus: No. No, this witch who saw me seemed surprised. But still, he thought he knew me. And his name was Wyatt, too. We may have an opportunity here.",
"Hugo: I don't follow.",
"Vicus: Don't you see? If I made it so that only Wyatt can see me, then that means this other witch must be Wyatt, too. They conjured him from the future. An older Wyatt, a good Wyatt.",
"Hugo: But doesn't that make it worse? If this future Wyatt is good, then that means you never infect the boy.",
"(Vicus begins to leave.)",
"Vicus: Gather the collective. We need to attack now. Distract the sisters with everything you've got.",

"Piper: Well, okay. Some creepy, invisible guy standing over my son, I'd say that's a demon.",
"Future Wyatt: I know how it sounds, mom. But I'm telling you. It just didn't seem like a demon. It wasn't threatening at all.",
"Phoebe: Maybe it was an imaginary friend.",
"Piper: No. Imaginary friends are imaginary, hence, the name. Plus, you said he's too young to have an imaginary friend, remember? He's two.",
"Future Wyatt: Actually, I'm 25. But I-I know what you mean.",
"Piper: Look, you just...you don't have any idea how much we've already been through just to make sure that you turn out okay.",
"Future Wyatt: Mom, I know exactly what you went through, and it's all gonna work out. The fact that I'm standing here in front of you right now happy and healthy should tell you that.",
"Piper: Okay, fine. Then you won't mind IDing the demon so we can keep you happy and healthy. (Future Wyatt is about to argue.) Don't make me ground you.",
"Future Wyatt: All right.",
"(He walks over to the Book.)",
"Phoebe: So...just out of curiosity, uh, do you have any cousins in the future?",
"Piper: (to Wyatt) No. Don't answer that. Nice try.",
"Future Wyatt: Wait a sec. I think you're right. He is a demon.",
"Piper: \"Vicus is a demon who prays on children turning them down the path of evil.\"",

"Vicus: Well, I'd like to give that feeling to more good witches...with your help.",
"Future Wyatt: One thing I don't understand, though, is why do you hole yourselves up in this dank lair? It's so depressing.",
"Vicus: Perhaps. But it's safer. Down here, good doesn't dare attack us.",
"Future Wyatt: Yeah, well, the future of evil is above ground. Trust me. We shouldn't be hiding when we have the power to take their world if we wanted.",
"Vicus: There'll be plenty of time for conquering later. For now, there's still the matter of your family. They'll want to change you back.",
"Future Wyatt: I know. I also know that soon they'll find a way to scry for our location.",
"Vicus: Then we must attack them before they do.",
"Future Wyatt: No. We want them to find us. I know them all too well. It's too risky to fight them at the manor. But here, we'll have the advantage. Because we'll be waiting for them.",

"(Little Wyatt orbs the bear back.)",
"Piper: Phoebe, don't make him angry.",

"(He removes the high chair table.)",
"Phoebe: That's a good idea, and take the book with you. There may be something in there that can help.",
"Piper: What are you gonna do?",
"Phoebe: I'm gonna get Paige and see if we can find Vicus. Maybe if we vanquish him, all of this will go away.",

"Phoebe: Then we're screwed. (She leaves.) Paige!",

"Paige: Yeah. I wish I was a little bit more confident in this potion.",
"Phoebe: What do you mean?",
"Paige: It's fine for the demon. But what about Wyatt?",
"Phoebe: Well, we're not gonna fight Wyatt.",
"(She starts scrying.)",
"Paige: But we might not have a choice. Because he's on the demon's side.",
"Phoebe: I don't think he'd try to kill us.",
"Paige: And how can you be so sure?",
"(Phoebe sighs.)",
"Phoebe: I can't. But you know what? If Piper can't change Wyatt back, then we're gonna have to vanquish the demon and hope that that does it.",
"Paige: And of course, we have the added problem of not even being able to see the demon. Only Wyatt can see Vicus.",
"Phoebe: We're just gonna have to bring a lot of vials.",
"Paige: And what, just throw them everywhere and hope we hit something?",
"Phoebe: Yeah. You have a better idea?",
"Paige: Normally, yes. But sadly, this time, no.",
"(The crystal hits.)",
"Phoebe: Oh. I got him. Okay, better start filling those vials.",
"(Paige nods.)",

"Leo: I don't think you're gonna convince him like that.",
"Piper: I just don't get it. I mean...he seems as sweet as ever.",
"(Piper smiles at Wyatt.)",
"Leo: Of course, he does.",
"(Piper gets up.)",
"Piper: So can you tell me how this boy turns into the future of all evil?",
"Leo: It's not us as parents.",
"Piper: Yeah, you can say that as much as you want. But it's gotta be.",
"(Leo picks up a book.)",
"Leo: No, I-I found a reference on cursed objects changing children in incremental degrees over time.",
"Piper: He's two. How much could he really have changed?",
"Leo: Not much. But if he keeps in this direction, the next 25 years, he can be pretty far off path. He will become the young man we saw.",
"Piper: This is ridiculous. (She and Leo sit.) I mean, if it's all use of that stupid bear, then there's gotta be a magical way around it. A way to change it. A way to change him.",
"Leo: Right. Of course.",
"Piper: Right. Of course. But what?",
"(Leo sighs.)",
"Leo: It's...just that curses are difficult. Often times, it's how it came about that's more important than the magic itself.",
"Piper: Okay, well, we'll figure out the why later. But right now, we need to fix this.",
"[Scene: Underworld, Vicus' lair. Future Wyatt has his eyes closed.]",
"Vicus: How much longer are we going to wait?",
"Future Wyatt: Patience. Scrying takes time. And there's the vanquishing potion that'll keep my aunts busy for at least an hour.",
"Vicus: Vanquishing potion? You never said anything about that.",
"Future Wyatt: What? Do you expect they're just gonna show up empty handed? Come on. It's not gonna be that easy.",
"Vicus: I don't like this.",
"Future Wyatt: Stop worrying. The rest of the collective is just a shimmer away. And besides, my aunts won't be able to see you when you're cloaked. (He smiles.) Wait. They're coming. (Paige and Phoebe orb in.) Have any trouble finding the place?",
"Phoebe: Where's Vicus?",
"Future Wyatt: Around. But you should be worried about me.",
"Paige: Look, we just wanna help you.",
"Future Wyatt: What makes you think I want your help?",
"Phoebe: Because we know you, and we know you're good.",
"Future Wyatt: That's a lot of potions you got there. I thought you thought I was good.",
"Phoebe: These are for Vicus. As soon as we get rid of him, all of this will be over.",
"Future Wyatt: Good luck finding him. (Paige nods. They start throwing potions. Vicus smiles.) Man, you girls are way off.",
"Phoebe: We have lots more potions.",
"Future Wyatt: Maybe I can help you out.",
"(He makes Vicus visible.)",
"Vicus: What are you doing?",
"Future Wyatt: Making a point. (To his aunts) Go ahead, vanquish him.",
"Vicus: What?",
"(Paige vanquishes him.)",
"Future Wyatt: So you thought you'd change me back, did you?",
"Phoebe: Why didn't that work?",
"Future Wyatt: Because I'm not under any spell. And you can't just change me back by simply vanquishing Vicus. He still got to me. And this is how evil grows over the years. But first, this should keep you busy for a while. (He summons demons. They surround the girls.) These are the ones that killed Vicus. Have fun. (He's about to go.) Oh, and... (He telekinetically throws Phoebe away.) No orbing, Aunt Paige..",
"(He orbs out.)",
"[Scene: Magic School. Wyatt still plays with his toys.]",
"Leo: Try it.",
"Piper: \"Evil taints what was once held dear, Remove this curse away from here.\"",
"Leo: Well, I guess we'll just try another one.",
"Piper: It's not gonna work, just like the last fifteen spells didn't work. Nothing's gonna change that damn bear.",
"Leo: Well, we can't just give up.",
"Piper: What if it's not just the bear? What if the problem is Wyatt?",
"Leo: You can't think like that, Piper.",
"Piper: Why not? I mean, we try and make the right decisions, and we try and keep him away from bad influences. But ultimately, he's his own person. We can't control him forever.",
"Leo: And we shouldn't try. (She sighs.) Look, all you can do is try to be a good influence on him.",
"Piper: And then a demon comes in right under our noses and changes him completely.",
"Leo: Okay, well, we knew something was wrong with Wyatt earlier. We sensed it. We tried to do something about it. That's the best you can hope for as a parent.",
"Piper: Or we can try another spell.",
"Leo: You know, maybe that's the problem. We're just trying another spell.",
"Piper: So?",
"Leo: So why didn't the demon do that? He didn't just appear today. I mean, what kept him from taking the bear and cursing it if it was that simple?",
"Piper: I don't know.",
"Leo: You know, maybe because he needed something else from Wyatt...and not just the bear. But his trust.",
"(Future Wyatt appears.)",
"Future Wyatt: Mom. Dad.",
"Piper: How'd he get in here?",
"Future Wyatt: I'm still a Halliwell, aren't I? I always hated this place.",

"Future Wyatt: What do you think I want? Young me, to make sure you don't screw me up again trying to turn me good.",
"Piper: Well, I hate to break it to you. But you don't really have a choice in that matter.",
"Future Wyatt: What are you gonna do, mom? Kill me in order to protect me?",
"Piper: It's a thought.",
"Future Wyatt: You always said spanking was barbaric. (Piper throws out her hands and sends him flying across the room.) Ouch. That hurt. (He stands up.) Seriously never had you pegged as the type of parent who'd hit your kids.",
"(He orbs across the room.)",
"Piper: You stay away from him.",
"Future Wyatt: Should I stay away from this, too?",
"Leo: You can't touch it.",
"Future Wyatt: Why not? It's my magical inheritance, isn't it?",
"(He tries to touch it, but it resists him.)",

"(Piper is scrying.)",
"Piper: So now that he has him, what is he gonna do with him?",

"Paige: Well, whatever we do, we have to be smart about it. Cause Wyatt is very powerful, and we're gonna get one shot at this.",
"Phoebe: Well, we know what his next move is gonna be. He's gonna go after the book. So maybe we should set a trap for him.",
"Leo: Well, he's not gonna attack you guys here. He doesn't want to have to fight you.",
"Piper: But you said if we go to him, he'll be expecting it.",
"Leo: He will, which is why I agree with Phoebe. We should set a trap. Only I'll be the one waiting for him, not you.",

"Leo: Which is why he won't sense me as a threat. Any one of you guys are here, he's not gonna show up.",
"Paige: Fine. So you get him here. What exactly are you gonna do?",
"Leo: Well, the demon needed Wyatt to trust him, right, to hand over the bear willingly? I just need him to give it back.",

"Through the help of an evil alchemist, Zankou is able to cast a spell on the sisters to face the innocents they lost, thinking that it's the best and easiest way to weaken them and gain control of the Book of Shadows. Inspector Sheridan grows increasingly suspicious of Darryl after seeing him help Phoebe and tries to get him to confess that the sisters are evil. Paige get a new charge: a future Whitelighter and attempts to get her to continue down her path of goodness."

"Tim Cross: It's no problem. Too bad you didn't get this before class. You could've avoided Dr. Rousseau's lecture on cognitive dissonance.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, pretty dull, huh?",
"Tim Cross: I thought about leaving, but I felt bad about skipping class, so I ended up staying.",
"Phoebe: To avoid your own dissonance?",
"Tim Cross: You know, you're pretty good at this psychology stuff.",
"Phoebe: You should read my column.",
"Tim Cross: I do. Why don't we get together sometime and study?",
"Phoebe: Well, I may not know the difference between a lug bolt and a tire iron, but I do believe that you just asked me out on a date, Tim.",
"Tim Cross: Yeah, so ... how about dinner tomorrow night?",
"Phoebe: Okay, but it's my treat. It's the least I can do.",
"Tim Cross: Deal.",
"Phoebe: So you're gonna take me up on that?",
"Tim Cross: It's reverse psychology.",

"Phoebe: It was so weird. (Phoebe walks over to a chair and sits down.) Uh, one second, he was helping me with my flat tire, and then, the next ... and I don't get it. (Piper sits down next to her.) I mean, the demon didn't even seem interested in me. He just went right after Tim.",
"Piper: Did you find anything in the book?",
"Phoebe: It was a raptor demon, a hired gun.",
"Piper: Hired by who?",
"Phoebe: That's what we're trying to figure out. Paige is at the magic school trying to find a lead. (She sighs heavily.) I just don't understand why he attacked him.",
"Piper: Well, there's gotta be a reason. How well did you know him?",
"Phoebe: We always sat next to each other in class, and, you know, talked occasionally, and flirted a bit. In fact, he asked me out on a date for tomorrow night. That's just my luck, huh?",

"Piper: Phoebe, stop it. It's not like you're cursed or something.",
"Phoebe: We don't know that. I might be cursed.",
"Piper: Look, we don't even know what's going on here. Tim could have been a witch or another demon.",
"Phoebe: No, he's definitely not a demon.",
"Piper: Okay, well, then, there's probably another reason. I don't know, but what I do know is it's not your fault.",
"(Phoebe puts whatever is in her hands down and turns to look at Piper. Piper stands up.)",
"Piper: Look, why don't you call Darryl and see if he can do a background check on Tim? Then maybe you should go to the morgue to see if you can get a premonition from his body.",
"Phoebe: I really don't wanna see him.",

"Alchemist: I could understand. When the dead are involved, I get a little ... excited.",
"Zankou: And that is exactly why you've never become anything more than an alchemist. You're unable to see the bigger picture.",
"Alchemist: And you can?",
"Zankou: (nods) I've studied the sisters. With all the knowledge I've gained, I'm going to shake them to their core, make them more vulnerable than they've ever been.",
"Alchemist: So that's why you had Phoebe's friend killed. It seemed a little petty of you.",
"Zankou: Heh. But he served a much greater purpose. Imagine how upset Phoebe will be when she realizes he died just because he knew her. Imagine how cursed she will feel.",
"Alchemist: Do you really think that's enough to make them vulnerable?",
"Zankou: Of course not. If I'm to get what I'm after, I'm going to have to attack them all. Not as witches, but as women.",

"Piper: Oh, that's silly.",
"(Piper heads over to check on Wyatt who is playing with his toys.)",
"Paige: Well, I know that, but I'm thinking if we can figure out why this guy was killed, maybe we can prove to her that she isn't.",
"Leo: Did you find anything out at magic school?",
"Paige: No, and I'm not gonna be able to go back there, either. I have to go meet Joanna.",
"Piper: Joanna?",
"Paige: My new charge. She's a whitelighter to be. She doesn't know magic exists yet, and thinks we're just friends. But the Elders are really worried about her, you know, kind of falling off the path, so I'm just gonna be there to guide her in the right direction.",
"Leo: Then you should go. The Elders wouldn't worry unless they had a reason. Besides, Piper and I are here. We can help Phoebe.",
"Paige: What about Chris' party?",
"Piper: Uh, I think we're gonna have to postpone it.",
"Leo: What? No.",
"Paige: No, Phoebe would not want you to do that.",
"Piper: I know, but --",

"Darryl: Maybe you should worry. You know, that memory dust won't matter anymore if this keeps up. She's linked you to way too many murders. It's getting harder and harder to cover.",
"Phoebe: I know, and I'm sorry about that, but she's got nothing. She's going off a hunch.",
"Darryl: But if we accidentally trigger her memories, then everything comes",
"back. Then that's it, it's over. For all of us.",

"Phoebe: That doesn't mean he wasn't there.",
"Piper: Okay, but isn't it possible that maybe you were just dreaming?",
"Paige: You know, maybe it's your subconscious, because you have been feeling really guilty lately.",
"Phoebe: It wasn't a dream. (Leo walks into the room carrying the Book of Shadows. He has it open to a page.)",
"Leo: She might be right. I found something on the undead here in the Book.",

"The final season premieres after being presumed dead by the outside world, the sisters cast a spell so that their appearance is altered to the outside world, but not to those closest to them. Though Phoebe and Piper begin to adapt to a magic-free life, Paige cannot escape her Whitelighter half, which continues to tell her that there is a new charge in the world that needs her. There are also those who do not believe the Halliwells to be dead, and seek to prove it. Paige has trouble locating her charge, and when she finally catches up with the young witch, she finds that Billie has embarked on a solo vigilante career to do good and combat demons, but soon finds she has gotten in over her head. Paige takes up a career as a police recruit, hoping fighting evil that way will fulfil her needs, but has to leave training to rescue Billie."

"Phoebe: It's kind of creepy, but I guess you can't be too picky when you're dead.",
"Victor: You guys are driving me crazy, you know that?",
"Piper: Keep it down, will ya? And look a little more bereaved. Agent Keyes is watching.",
"(They look at man standing in the foyer.)",

"Victor: Hey, I can't still figure it out.",
"Piper: Well, at least we're still alive and, more importantly, free.",

"Elkin: First, we mess with the mortals... .",
"Paul Haas: First, we do as I say.",
"Elkin: Who says you decide? There's no order to the Underworld anymore. Now that Zankou and his generation have been decimated, it's our time to play. Which means it's every demon for himself.",

"Agent Keyes: Just like that.",
"(He walks back to the other office with the box. Agent Murphy follows him and sighs.)",
"Agent Murphy: But what about what happened to Inspector Sheridan? That thing that killed her? And what about that cop that swears he saw Leo at the scene of the crime? That's means he's still alive... .",

"Agent Murphy: You don't believe that.",

"Agent Murphy: But then how we know if... .",
"Agent Keyes: Because you're going to stay behind, that's how. Keep an eye on things for me. You lay low, be patient, and give them plenty of space. If they are still alive, they'll come home. Sooner or later, everyone always does.",

"Phoebe: We didn't say we'd never use magic again. Besides, I think we really need this spell.",
"Leo: Why? What will it do?",
"(Phoebe flips through the Book.)",
"Phoebe: End our confusion, hopefully. I've been thinking about it for the last couple of days, and all we need to do is each of us needs to come up with one look, one disguise, that we wanna to project to the rest of the world.",
"Paige: You mean like a permanent, permanent one?",
"Phoebe: That's the idea.",
"Victor: But how is that going to end the confusion? Especially for the boys?",

"Phoebe: You know why? Because you haven't been out yet. And you will feel so much better in a new pair of shoes.",
"(Paige chuckles.)",
"Piper: But I don't need new shoes.",

"(They continue walking.)",
"Piper: Isn't there any part of you that doubts your decision at all?",

"Piper: No, not the shoes. The pretending to be dead to the rest of the world.",
"Phoebe: Oh, yeah, obviously there were certain aspects of my life that I really liked, but I couldn't fully enjoy it because of all the witch stuff.",
"Piper: Yeah, but the witch stuff is who we are. I mean, we can't just walk around pretending we don't have powers anymore.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but, Piper, nobody is saying we have to.",
"(They stop walking again.)",
"Phoebe: We just don't have to use our powers every other week to save the world, that's the only difference.",
"Piper: That, and the fact that the last three decades of our life are suddenly gone.",
"Phoebe: Well, we have to give up something to gain something. Look, you wanted a normal life more than all of us. Right? So, what's changed all of the sudden?",
"Piper: I'm a little neurotic, what do you want from me?",
"Phoebe: That's not it, what else is it?",
"Piper: It's just, it's a big change, and I don't do change very well. So, you know, let me freak out for a little while and then, you know, I'll be fine.",

"Grams: Well, one thing is for sure, young lady. You're never gonna find what you're looking for sitting around here. You want a fresh start? Then pull yourself up by your bootstraps, get out into the world and try it on for size. See what happens.",

"Victor: We?",
"Jonnah: The other Elders and myself, about the boys, Wyatt and Chris. Losing their parents, their aunts, it's unspeakable. Especially considering who they were. Which is why we feel very strongly that it'd be in the boys' best interest... .",
"Victor: You're not taking them. Forget it.",
"Jonnah: Victor, you're mortal. You can't possibly raise them to be...",

"Jonnah: I don't think you quite realize the extent to which our future, all our future, depends upon their upbringing.",
"Victor: I got a pretty good idea.",
"Jonnah: Then you know they'll continue to be targets of evil. Demons who will stop at nothing to turn them to their side, or worse, destroy them, and how will you protect them?",
"Victor: I'll find a way.",
"Jonnah: They should come with me now for their sakes.",

"(Paul walks over to Elkin, who is standing against a stone column.)",
"Paul Haas: How is it that the great Elkin got his ass kicked by one lousy witch?",
"Elkin: I didn't get my ass kicked. Could've easily killed her if I wasn't worried about exposure.",
"Paul Haas: She wasn't.",
"Elkin: Which is why I'm not even sure she was a witch.",
"Paul Haas: Well, what could she have been? An usher?",
"(Elkin places his hand around Paul Haas' neck. As Paul watches him, Elkin releases Paul's neck.)",
"Elkin: Whoever she was, she tracked me there somehow. Which means we'll cross paths again. And next time, I'll be waiting.",
"Paul Haas: I don't like it. Not with that Whitelighter there too. There's more to this.",
"Elkin: I can handle them both. It's not like we have to worry about the Charmed Ones coming to the rescue anymore.",
"Paul Haas: Still, we should consolidate our powers regardless of the threat. We'll kill the father at nightfall, while the powerful progeny sleeps.",

"Phoebe: You gotta admit, that was nice flip though.",

"Paige: Well, the question is why were they after him in the first place?",

"Paige: Even if it risks exposing us.",
"Phoebe: We may have already been exposed.",
"(Piper stands up and starts walking around.)",
"Piper: No, I don't think so. We were disguised to him and besides, we didn't use our powers. The problem is we can't just vanquish the one demon. We're gonna have to make some sort of a statement. Otherwise what's to keep the entire Underworld from coming after Dad again and again?",

Charmed_08x04.json | [
"Wyatt's school play Cinderella brings out the competitive nature in Piper when her hand-sewn costume and parenting abilities are criticized by another mother. Things go from bad to worse when it is revealed that this Stepford-wife-like \"Oh-so-perfect\" mother is in fact possessed by a demoness focused on kidnapping Piper's son Wyatt and using him in a plot with other demons to resurrect the Source of All Evil at Magic School ; which the demons have forcibly taken possession of after the (believed and faked) deaths of the three Charmed Ones. Meanwhile, Paige sees Dex with another woman, who turns out to be his ex-girlfriend who is a compulsive liar, and despite Phoebe's objections, interferes by masquerading as the woman and expecting evidence Dex is two-timing Phoebe. Dex apologizes to Phoebe after Paige commits her interfering faux pas and her masquerade crashes, saying he probably shouldn't have stayed in touch with and should have made a more complete break with his old girl earning points for earnestness and honesty. Meanwhile, Billie and Leo sniff out the plot at magic school and research a spell to return Billie to our world for power-of-three reinforcements while Leo stays nearby with Wyatt who has accompanied the possessed mother there. With Wyatts powerful help, the demoness has conjured the source who appears to be fully resurrected and ready to take command again in the Underworld. Billie's timely return with Paige, Phoebe and Piper enables the three to intervene in the demon's festivities. Piper vanquishes both threats by dealing with the demoness-who has linked the two by her conjuration of the source which consequently was not as powerful and troublesome as the original incarnation of source because the magical link to the demoness gave it a new vulnerability."

"Phoebe: Oh. I know. It's hard. I just got really lucky that Dex showed up at my funeral.",
"Paige: Yeah. Right. You've know him for what, all of a few weeks now?",
"Phoebe: Yeah. It's hard to believe, isn't it?",
"Paige: Yeah. I mean, how well do you really know him? Considering the amount of time you've actually spent together.",
"Phoebe: Paige, where are you going with this?",
"Paige: Nowhere. I swear.",
"Phoebe: Okay. Well, we've been through this before. I didn't like Richard. You didn't like Cole. But we promised each other that we'd stay out of each other's love lives, right?",
"Paige: Okay. Just answer me this. How well do you really know him?",
"Phoebe: [Sighs] Paige, please don't start.",
"Paige: Would it kill you just to slow things down? You know, a smidge?",
"Phoebe: You know, I can't slow things down, because of my premonitions.",
"Paige: They're not always literal.",
"Phoebe: But I still have to honor them, don't I? But look, honey, I really like him, and I really care about him, and he really cares about me, okay? So don't worry, okay?",
"Paige: No, it's not okay.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Billie is levitating her nunchucks again]",
"Leo: [from offscreen] Piper!",
"[Billie hears them approach and loses control of the nunchucks, which fly across the room]",
"Piper: I'm a little behind in the crafty department, okay? I didn't have time to hone my skills with a demon attacking every 5 minutes.",
"Leo: It's still not a good idea.",
"Piper: You know what? It's a great idea. While all of those other mothers were out there making cutesy costumes, I had my nose in this book. So this book is gonna help me make a damn cute pumpkin outfit!",
"Leo: [to Billie] What's up?",
"Billie: Oh, you know, just soaking up knowledge. I'm a virtual sponge.",
"Leo: Good. Keep it up. So, you know, hon, besides personal gain-- [to Billie] Why are you so sweaty?",
"Billie: Oh, you know, those, um... the Salem witch-hunts, and the lying and the burning. It's just-- it's out of control. Well, now that I'm all caught up, how about we hop on over to magic school and get some real education?",
"Leo: Okay, we can't. Because, you know, magic school being the hub of good magic, you know, and we don't want to expose ourselves.",
"Billie: Oh, and what is your wife doing?",
"Piper: Making up for lost time. Now zip it!",
"Leo: Actually, she is not gonna use magic to make Wyatt a costume.",
"Piper: Oh, no? Watch me!",
"Leo: You wanted a normal life, remember?",
"Piper: Okay, look, that was before I realized our son was gonna be humiliated in front of his entire class.",
"Billie: Oh, you know that happened to me all the time. It just made me stronger.",
"Piper: And shut it!",
"Leo: Okay, is this about Wyatt's humiliation or yours?",
"Piper: No, it's about Wyatt... and the pageant and--",
"Leo: And you outdoing Mandi?",
"Piper: Fine. No magic. But I will still make the best damn pumpkin outfit ever. And that woman will be sorry she tangled with me.",
"Billie: That is one desperate housewife.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Demon #1: Well?",
"Mandi: I'm beginning to gain the boy's trust. Once he knows it's safe to use his powers around me... What's taking you so long? You were supposed to have this cleaned days ago.",
"Demon #2: Yeah, well... it wasn't easy as we thought. It's a lot more trashed--",
"Mandi: [Walks over and grabs him by the throat] I don't want to hear any more excuses, do you understand me?! [He disintegrates] We need to create a comfortable place for the boy, a familiar place. Or else he'll never do what I want him to do. [The demon inside shakes Mandi's body off herself and to the floor] Don't let that thing die. Not until after I'm done using it to get Wyatt.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Paige: Okay, honey, I know this is not the morning for this to happen, but the coffee maker's on the fritz.",
"Piper: Oh, that's okay. Do you want me to make you some tea instead?",
"Paige: Tea?",
"Piper: Yeah, it's no problem. I was just cleaning up.",
"Paige: Well, you are in a surprisingly chipper mood for someone who hasn't slept all night.",
"Piper: Well, I had to finish Wyatt's pumpkin costume, didn't I?",
"Paige: And did you finish?",
"Piper: Absolutely. You know, actually being a super-mom can be surprisingly satisfying.",
"Paige: Don't forget. You're really his super legal guardian.",
"Piper: Yes! And are there any other soft spots you'd like to poke at while you're here?",
"Paige: Honey, I'm sorry.",
"Piper: Oh, it's no big deal. I think at least Wyatt knows who his mother really is.",
"Paige: Of course he does. He sees you as Piper. We all do.",
"Piper: Yeah, but it's gotta be confusing for him, especially because all of his classmates think I'm his cousin, his distant cousin.",
"Paige: Look, he's just gonna have to get used to the way things are. Hey, you wanna hear my plan on how to save Phoebe from Dex?",
"Piper: Oh, come on, Paige. Do we really need this in our lives right now?",
"Paige: Do we really need our sister marrying a cheater?",
"Piper: Well...it was just a kiss, right? So, maybe it was his sister?",
"Paige: Ew. That's disgusting. Sisters don't kiss brothers like that.",
"Piper: Paige--",
"Paige: Look, all I'm gonna do is find out who she really is. Phoebe's never gonna know.",
"Piper: She's gonna kill ya.",
"Paige: She's gonna thank me. All right, my dear. Have a great time at the play.",
"Piper: Thanks. [Holding up pumpkin costume] Ha ha! How do you like me now?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Mandi's Demon: We're close.",
"Demon #1: Pretty elaborate ritual you got us doing here. When do I get to know who you're planning to conjure?",
"Mandi's Demon: You don't get to know.",
"Demon #1: Actually, I think I do. Especially since I'm the only one who knows how to bring back a demon from the wasteland.",
"Mandi's Demon: If you were the only one, I wouldn't need the boy, now would I?",
"Demon #1: Why do you need him? What does he offer?",
"Mandi's Demon: He offers...power, a power neither you or I possess, a power I'm going to need if I'm going to bring back the demon I have in mind.",
"Demon #1: Tempus? Barbas? Zankou?",
"Mandi's Demon: When it's time--",
"Demon #1: Now... or I stop what I'm doing.",
"Mandi's Demon: You dare challenge me?",
"Demon #1: No, I just think I have the right to know what we're dealing with, that's all. Especially considering the inherent risk involved with kidnapping the son of a charmed one.",
"Mandi's Demon: I'm not kidnapping him. I'm offering him a new home, a family, a place to express his full potential.",
"Demon #1: Even if you lure him in here, what makes you think he'll stay?",
"Mandi's Demon: Because I'm going to replace the mommy he lost, and the Source will replace his daddy.",
"Demon #1: The Source? We can't bring him back.",
"Mandi's Demon: You're right, we can't. Not without Wyatt, anyway. [She enters Mandi again] Any other questions?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Paige: I'm sorry. Is that yours?",
"Sylvia: Is your name Sylvia, too?",
"Paige: Sylvia? That's so funny. I thought I recognized you. How are you?",
"Sylvia: Um...fine. Great. Thanks.",
"Paige: You don't remember me, do you? That's okay. It was...a long time ago when we met, kind of a crowded party. Dex introduced us, actually.",
"Sylvia: Oh, Dex! Right. You know, I'm sorry. I don't remember meeting you.",
"Paige: Jo. Jo Bennet. I'm a--I'm an art dealer.",
"Sylvia: Really? So am I. What firm?",
"Paige: Oh! Um... well, I deal mostly with private collectors, you know, kind of hush-hush transactions, stuff like that-- how is Dex?",
"Sylvia: Um, Dex is...good, I guess. Yeah, he just, uh-- he just had a show last week. It went really well. He's got some good stuff.",
"Paige: Great, great. Are you two still going out?",
"Sylvia: Dex and I? No. No, not anymore.",
"Paige: Really? Are you sure about that?",
"Sylvia: Uh...yeah. I think I'd remember that. Why are you asking?",
"Paige: Oh, probably just a little strange thing. I was actually here, um, you know, yesterday, and I--I thought I saw you two kissing.",
"Sylvia: Oh, yeah, that. Um... you know, that was nothing. We were just saying hello.",
"Paige: Oh. Oh.",
"Sylvia: We broke up months ago.",
"Paige: That's great. No! That's awful. Sorry about that.",
"Sylvia: Hey, it was fun while it lasted. You know, it still is fun once in a while, actually. If you, you know, include the break-up s*x.",
"Paige: Break-up s*x?",
"Sylvia: Yeah. Is there anything better? Listen, I gotta run. It was nice seeing you again.",
"Paige: Yeah, it was... real nice seeing you.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Piper: What do you mean he's not a pumpkin?",
"Mandi: Oh. I can't imagine how it slipped my mind. We decided mice costumes would be more comfortable.",
"Piper: Oh, but Wyatt's really excited about being a pumpkin.",
"Mandi: Oh. Poor thing. Maybe the problem is the green thing on his head.",
"Piper: The... green thing is the stem, the stem of the pumpkin I was up all night making.",
"Mom #1: And it's a cute pumpkin... really.",
"Piper: Well, I think he should wear it.",
"Mom #2: But this isn't about you now...is it?",
"Piper: Excuse me?",
"Mandi: Ladies. We all want the children to be happy, don't we? Especially Wyatt. He's been through so much lately.",
"Mom #1: And losing his mother and all.",
"Mandi: We don't want to traumatize him any further.",
"Piper: Oh, no. He's not traumatized. I mean, he has me.",
"Mandi: And you're doing the very best job you can... considering.",
"Piper: Considering what?",
"Mandi: How new you are at this, how overworked you must be.",
"Mom #2: She's right. You do look exhausted.",
"Piper: I'm fine... and Wyatt's fine. We're all fine. Now... if you'll just excuse me.",
"Mandi: Sweetie, if you're worried about the mouse costume, I can whip one up for Wyatt in a jiffy.",
"Piper: [Forced laugh] I can jiffy-whip one up myself, actually. [Cell phone rings]",
"Mandi: Really, it's no problem. You've done quite enough already.",
"Piper: Right. Leo? [Answers phone] Please tell me there's a demon somewhere because I really need to blow something up.",
"Leo: Sorry. Everything's fine, except Billie wants to go to magic school.",
"Piper: What? No.",
"Leo: That's what I told her, too.",
"Piper: Ooh! That woman is out to get me.",
"Leo: Look, Piper, I think she's defiant, but I think her intentions are good.",
"Piper: Well, she may seem nice and sweet, but there's something deeply tweaked beneath the surface.",
"Leo: Come on, Piper, I don't think Billie--",
"Piper: No, not Billie. Mandi... the \"Miss Too-Good-To-Be-True\" I've been griping about. Not only is she getting more cloyingly perfect with every moment, but now she is actually out to get me.",
"Leo: Don't be ridiculous.",
"Piper: Ugh! I wish I could just blow her up.",
"Leo: Piper, you can't blow her up. She's not a demon.",
"Piper: No, she's worse than a demon. She's a room mom!",
"Leo: It's time to come home now, honey, okay?",
"Piper: [Sighs & hangs up]",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Billie: Hi! All right. What'd she say? We're going to magic school or what?",
"Leo: Uh, well, she said what I thought she'd say: No. It's too dangerous.",
"Billie: Come on. Do you always listen to what she says? You guys used to live and breathe danger.",
"Leo: Right, and now we're retired.",
"Billie: Exactly. You're off being Ozzie and Harriet. It's my job to pick up the slack around here. I need to learn quick. And magic school has books, an apothecary, and really bitching weapons.",
"Leo: Which you can read about in the textbooks.",
"Billie: I'm done reading. I'm going to magic school.",
"Leo: How?",
"Billie: I'm a quick study.",
"Leo: Okay, wait. We'll get-- [Billie throws down a potion]",
"[Big cloud of smoke, then Billie & Leo are at magic school]",
"Leo: --exposed. You did it.",
"Billie: I did? How cool.",
"Leo: Something's not right.",
"Billie: Who are they? Are they students?",
"Leo: No, they're demons.",
"Billie: Demons? What are demons doing here?",
"Leo: Taking over.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Leo: Okay. This is bad. This is really bad.",
"Billie: He's kinda cute, though.",
"Leo: No, they're not cute, okay? They're demons. Do you understand what that means, huh? Hurt, maim, kill.",
"Billie: A lot of monosyllables. Got it.",
"Leo: No, you don't have it. If they've taken over, it means they have access to everything, spells, maps, weapons.",
"Billie: You know what? These might come in handy.",
"Leo: Look, with everything here, they can wipe us all out, okay? Whitelighters, elders, gnomes.",
"Billie: Witches?",
"Leo: Everything.",
"Billie: Okay, fine. What do we do?",
"Leo: We gotta get out of here, fast.",
"Billie: All right. Let's go. All right.",
"Leo: So you brought the extra potion, right?",
"Billie: No.",
"Leo: You're kidding.",
"Billie: Do I look like I think ahead? Come on. You used to run the place. How did you back get back and forth?",
"Leo: Paige orbed me. Okay. There is a spell in one of these books, if we can find it.",
"Billie: Okay. I'm listening.",
"Leo: Okay. Here's what we're gonna do--",
"[Two demons come around the corner and see them]",
"Leo: Okay. Don't move. Don't say a word.",
"Billie: Hyah! [She makes nunchucks fly off the wall to knock out the demons]",
"Leo: Nice.",
"Billie: Will you give me an hand?",
"Leo: What are you doing?",
"Billie: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Piper: [to an empty house] Leo? Leo?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Mandi: Let's see. What do we have in here? Oh...boy. Well, you don't want to eat this dry, yucky sandwich your guardian made, do you? Dumb old cousin! Dumb old guardian. Here you go. You can have this. All right?",
"Wyatt: Mommy.",
"Mandi: Mommy? Aww, sweetheart. Listen, I know you miss your mommy, but I'm here. And I love when you do your magic. I do. In fact, why don't we just orb this poo-poo sandwich right into that trash can? Can you do that? No one's watching. [He orbs it] Look at that. Good boy! Good boy! Good job! Let's do that again.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Paige: Okay. Okay. For Phoebe. [She makes herself look like Sylvia, then enters Dex's place]",
"Dex: I created this one as a companion to the one I already sold you. Hi, Sylvia.",
"Paige (as Sylvia): I hope I'm not interrupting.",
"Dex: Actually, if you could just give--",
"Customer: It's all right. We can come back.",
"Dex: Are you sure?",
"Customer: We need to think about it anyway. We'll call you.",
"Dex: Thanks for coming by. Let me know what you think.",
"Paige (as Sylvia): I hope I didn't screw up a sale.",
"Dex: Uh, what are you doing here, Sylvia?",
"Paige (as Sylvia): What, I'm fine in the sack, but I don't rate a work visit, huh?",
"Dex: What?",
"Paige (as Sylvia): Please. Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about.",
"Dex: But I don't know what you're talking about.",
"Paige (as Sylvia): How quickly they forget. Okay, look, here's the deal, buster. It's over, all right? Finito. No mas. Yesterday's news, got it?",
"Dex: Uh, no, not really.",
"Paige (as Sylvia): Do I have to spell this out for you? I am done with the break-up s*x. It's not fair to me or anybody else that you might be... seeing at the moment, understand?",
"Dex: Yeah, but--",
"Paige (as Sylvia): Uh-uh. Forget it. No more freebies. It's time to make an honest man out of yourself. Be true to the one you love.",
"Dex: What the hell are you talking about?",
"Paige (as Sylvia): You know damn well what I'm talking about.",
"Dex: We haven't slept together in over 2 months.",
"Paige (as Sylvia): We haven't?",
"Dex: No.",
"Paige (as Sylvia): Do I...lie a lot?",
"Dex: That's why we broke up.",
"Phoebe: [Enters] Dex. Hey.",
"Paige (as Sylvia): Phoebe!",
"Phoebe: Excuse me?",
"Paige (as Sylvia): Freebies. We were just talking about freebies.",
"Dex: [Sighs] Julie, Sylvia.",
"Phoebe: Hi. Nice to meet you.",
"Paige (as Sylvia): Yeah. You, too. Oh, gosh. Look at the time. I gotta go. Nice meeting you. Take care. Bye-bye.",
"Dex: Uh...ex-girlfriend.",
"Phoebe: Uh-huh.",
"Paige: [Outside Dex's place] Whew! Whew, whew, whew.",

"Billie: Would you just leave it alone? It looks hot.",
"Leo: Really? Thanks...I think.",
"[Demon walks toward them and bumps Billie as he passes]",
"Billie: Hey! Watch it, buddy!",
"Leo: Are you trying to get us killed?",
"Billie: Well, we're supposed to be evil, not imps.",
"Leo: Let's just find the spell, okay?",
"Billie: Fine.",
"[They walk into the main hall where all the demons are]",
"Leo: Everything's out of order.",
"Billie: What is?",
"Leo: The books. Nothing's where it's supposed to be.",
"Billie: What do you think they're doing?",
"Leo: I don't know, but I don't want to hang around.",
"[Mandi appears with Wyatt]",
"Billie: Wyatt.",
"Mandi: Welcome home, sweetie-pie. You want to play with the toys?",
"Wyatt: Yeah.",
"Mandi: Come over here...",
"Billie: How did she even get Wyatt?",
"Leo: I should have let Piper blow her up.",
"Billie: What, you know her?",
"Leo: Yeah, she's Wyatt's room mom, or so she said she was. What does she want with him?",
"Billie: Wait, what-- where are you going?",
"Leo: I'm going to see my son.",
"Billie: Are you insane? Look around, you're gonna get us killed. You're gonna get me killed.",
"Leo: [Sighs] We've got to get out of here. We gotta get help.",
"Mandi: Feels good to be back at magic school, doesn't it? It's where you belong. [to Demon #1] Is everything ready?",
"Demon #1: Yes. Although, are you sure you know what you're doing?",
"Mandi: The boy trusts me, otherwise he would have orbed me--",
"Demon #1: I wasn't talking about the boy. I was talking about the Source.",
"Leo: [At the bookshelves] Found it.",
"Billie: Who's the Source?",
"Leo: The Source?",
"Demon #1: I'm just saying, he could be pissed. After all, he never thought the Charmed Ones could vanquish him.",
"Mandi: I'll handle him.",
"Demon #1: How?",
"Mandi: I'm bringing him back from the dead, aren't I? He'll owe me, plus he'll have a son of the Charmed One to raise as his very own. What better revenge is there than that?",
"Leo: Okay, the spell's on page 86. You gotta get out of here.",
"Billie: Wait, you want me to go by myself? Why?",
"Leo: I'm not leaving my son.",
"Billie: But you don't have any powers. I have powers. I should stay.",
"Leo: Listen to me, there is nothing worse than the Source, do you understand me? I can't leave my son alone.",
"Billie: Okay, just be careful. [She leaves with the spellbook]",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Teacher: Are you sure another family member didn't pick him up?",
"Piper: Of course, I'm sure, otherwise I wouldn't be freaking out right now.",
"Teacher: Ohh! Okay, okay, here, see? Nothing to worry about. Wyatt is with Mandi.",
"Piper: Mandi?! You let him go with Mandi?",
"Teacher: Well... she has sort of been looking out for him lately. I'm sure he's having the time of his life with her son as we speak.",
"43CE8BDA.JPGPiper: Really? Then why is her son still here?! She would never--",

"Phoebe: What?!",
"[Door slams]",
"Piper: Wyatt's been kidnapped, and Leo's missing.",
"[They enter the attic]",
"Piper: Seven years of doing this stuff, I should've known something wasn't right with Mandi. Nobody's that perfect, not even her.",
"Phoebe: But she has a child and a husband.",
"Piper: That's why I think a demon possessed her, to get to Wyatt. [Sighs] Somebody start scrying for him!",
"Paige: Fine, I'm going, I'm going.",
"Phoebe: Okay, I'm gonna work on the vanquishing potion. You work on the depossession spell.",
"Piper: I can't believe I let her take him right out from under my nose. What was I doing?",
"Paige: It's okay. We're gonna get him back.",
"Piper: How? He could be anywhere.",
"[Billie enters]",
"Billie: He's at magic school.",
"Phoebe: Hey, where did you come from?",
"Piper: And how do you know that?",
"Billie: Well, I just came from there. Leo stayed behind to keep an eye on Wyatt.",
"Piper: Why are you wearing that?",
"Billie: If I wasn't, I'd be dead. There's demons everywhere. They're taking over the place.",
"Phoebe: What? How?",
"Piper: Who cares? What do they want with Wyatt?",
"Billie: They need him to help bring back the Source? Okay, Leo looked just like that when he heard that name. Who is this guy? I mean, how do we nail him?",
"Piper: You don't. We do. You're not ready, trust me.",
"Paige: Well, ladies, how are we enjoying our demon-free existence now?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Mandi: [To Wyatt] You can use all the magic you want here. Whatever you want, whenever you want. Isn't that fun? But first, I want you to help me bring back a special friend of ours, somebody who's going to be very, very happy to see you, okay?",
"Wyatt: Yeah.",
"Mandi: All right. Good. It'll be easy. I'll show you.",
"Demon #1: Don't you want the Source to know the real you, so he knows you're a demon?",
"Mandi: I don't want to risk scaring the child. Stand back. [Sweetly] Ready. Okay. We call to you that away was torn, return, master of all evil born. [To Wyatt] Put your finger in it. It'll make some really neat magic. [Deep breath]",
"[The Source is thrown into the room out of a pentagram on the wall]",

"Mandi: We did.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Mandi: It was me, actually, who brought you back.",
"Source: Why?",
"Mandi: Why else? Power. Yours, mine, his. One big, unstoppable, happy family.",
"Source: What possible power could he have that I might covet?",
"Mandi: Charmed power. That's right, he's the first born. The prophecy.",
"Source: How did you get him away?",
"Mandi: The Charmed Ones are dead. I'm sorry to spoil your fun.I'm sure you would have wanted revenge. Although, our raising him as evil might be even better, don't you think?",
"Source: You've got it all work out, don't you? Except for one thing - why do I need you?",
"Mandi: Because every mortal boy needs his mommy, and I'm sure you would enjoy being the head of a demonic dynasty.",
"Source: [Hisses] What's your name, little boy?",
"Leo: Let him be.",
"Source: What did you say?",
"Leo: You don't want to scare him. He's not used to our kind.",
"Mandi: Who are you? I've never seen you before.",
"Leo: I've been here. I've also been at the boy's house with Zankou.",
"Source: Is that a fact?",
"[Wyatt orbs himself over to Leo]",
"Leo: That's how he knows me, obviously.",

"Mandi: Leave us.",
"Source: Who are you?",
"[The sisters orb into a room off one of the hallways]",

"Source: Now why don't I believe that?",
"Piper: We gotta hurry. Leo's in trouble.",
"Paige: Well, how are we gonna stop the Source if we have no potions?",
"Piper: It's gonna take a lot more than potions.",
"Paige: How'd you do it last time?",
"Piper: Not the same way we're gonna do it this time.",
"Phoebe: You have a plan?",
"Piper: Yeah, and it starts with Mandi.",
"Mandi: If you don't trust him, just kill him. Then we'll go on a family outing, slaughter a few innocents, have a picnic.",
"Source: There's not a drop of evil in him. He's not a demon at all! Oh! This is too good to be true... Daddy.",
"Mandi: What?! Wait. [Mandi's demon is thrust out of her body] What happened? Who did this?",
"Piper: We did.",
"[Leo picks up Wyatt and hides behind a couch]",
"Source: I should have known the Charmed Ones weren't really dead. Only you've gone soft in my absence. without the Hollow, you can't hurt me.",
"Piper: Oh, really? Hey, cupcake! [Blows up Mandi's demon]",
"[As Mandi's demon is vanquished, the Source gets destroyed with her]",
"Source: Aah! No! Aah!",
"Pheobe: Talk about your ball and chain.",
"Paige: I don't really understand. How did you-",
"Piper: Well, she conjured him so they're connected. She goes, he goes.",
"Phoebe: For eternity now.",
"Paige: Okay, well, we probably should get out of here before any other demons recognize us.",
"Phoebe: What are we gonna do with her? [Nods towards Mandi's body]",
"Piper: Oh, come on. We don't need to save her. What? She's still too perky.",

"Paige: [Entering attic] Hey there.",
"Billie: Hi.",
"Paige: What are you still doing up?",
"Billie: Oh, just studying.",
"Paige: Yeah? Well, you should give it a bit of rest for tonight.",
"Billie: Oh, thanks, but I just want to look up a few more things. You know, I didn't realize I had to learn how to vanquish vanquished demons.",
"Paige: Yeah, well, that's the funny thing about here. Nobody really stays dead for long.",
"Billie: Yeah, I'm noticing that. [Doorbell rings] Oh, wait, Paige.",
"Paige: Yeah?",
"Billie: Are you guys worried at all about demons being at magic school? Like, what can they do there?",
"Paige: Yeah, we are pretty worried. So in that case, maybe you should stay up and study a little longer. [Exits]",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Phoebe: [Answers the door] Dex, hey. What are you doing here?",
"Dex: I was hoping we could talk.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, of course. Come on in.",
"Dex: Um... look, I wanted to apologize for what happened earlier.",
"Phoebe: Apologize?",
"Dex: About Sylvia, I mean.",
"Phoebe: Oh, you know, I don't think that you need to explain yourself about any of that.",
"Dex: No, I do.",
"Phoebe: No, I think I have a pretty good idea of what was going on.",
"Dex: Actually, you don't. Not completely. There's nothing going on between Sylvia and I anymore, really.",
"Phoebe: Okay, then why--",

"Unaware that she is being watched, Billie jeopardizes the Charmed Ones' new lives when Agent Murphy of Homeland Security, who has suspected all along that she and the \"cousins\" are involved in supernatural activities and that the Halliwell sisters are not dead, spots her using her powers to save an innocent. Meanwhile, Phoebe's planned overnight trip with Dex starts with an unexpected assist from Billie and comes to a surprising conclusion when Billie casts a spell from the book of shadows intending to help and to make her happy, with unexpected consequences. Both Paige and Phoebe, having repeatedly questioned the manner the three are living conclude that the situation is untenable as they are constantly living a lie with those they would trust, and innocents are suffering as well. As that happens, Agent Murphy having already approached Billie, confronts Piper and makes plain that he feels the world needs their continued ministrations. Billie sets a trap for the Demons and vanquishes the imp-master while the power of the three vanquish its master from ambush. At the end of the episode, the three agree that the masquerade should be canceled and uncast the magic which had disguised them. Approaching Agent Murphy, the three cut a deal to have him cover for them explaining away the inconvenience of their faked deaths as being due to national security concerns which allows them to resume life as themselves."

"While helping Agent Brody by reading through some cold cases that Homeland Security has on hand, Billie inadvertently puts on a belt she found and is granted superhero powers that can turn the sexes against one another. As a result, she comes under the power of a power hungry female demon who plans to use Billie's new powers to gain female domination the world over. As Piper tries to book a headlining musical act to perform at P3, Paige gets a new charge that causes her to cross paths with a new love interest."

"After receiving a warning from the Angel of Death that Leo is on his list of souls to collect, Piper casts a spell to make everybody look like Leo so Death can't complete his job. She then turns to the Elders and Avatars for help in keeping Leo safe, only to discover that it's Leo's destiny to die. As a result, Piper turns to the Angel of Destiny in an attempt to cut a deal to keep him alive. As Billie tracks down a lead in her attempt to locate her sister, Paige has her first date with Henry."

"Paige: That's OK. And just so you know, if it is something else, it's OK.",
"Henry: No, no, no. No. Look, forget about work. What are you doing for dinner tonight?",
"Paige: Actually, I have plans.",
"Henry: Ohh!",
"Paige: [Laughs] No, not like that. It's with my sisters and our friend Billie. Her parents are in town, so...",
"Henry: Good. Afterwards, me and you, P3, 9:00. Say yes.",
"Paige: Yes. 9:00. But don't be late.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Helen: I'm sure she'll be here soon.",
"Carl: Yeah.",
"Billie: Hi, guys. I'm so sorry. Traffic was horrible.",
"Helen: It's all right, honey.",
"Billie: Hi. I hope you and dad weren't waiting too long.",
"Helen: No.",
"Carl: Define \"too long.\"",
"Helen: Well, what a cute little car.",
"Billie: Thanks. It's Phoebe's. She's so great. You're going to meet her tonight. I mean, they're all--they're all great.",
"Carl: Here. I got it.",
"Billie: No, Dad. It's fine.",
"Helen: You're sure?",
"Billie: All right, Mom. You squeeze in back. Ready? Let's just go.",
"Carl: Honey, will you--?",
"Helen: Yeah, here, honey.",
"Billie: You guys ready to see my school?",
"Carl: That's why we're here.",

"Phoebe: \"Am I Too Close to My Twin?\"",
"Dorrie: Wait, what? I'm sorry, I can't hear you.",
"Phoebe: \"Am I Too Close to My Twin?\" You know, my column.",
"Dorrie: Oh, right. Is it done?",
"Phoebe: Uh, no, see, that's the problem. I'm having a hard time coming up with an answer, which is weird considering how close I am to my sisters, you know.",
"[Wyatt makes a horsey noise and Piper laughs.]",
"Maybe a little too close.",
"Dorrie: That's so weird. Your answers usually come so easily.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, go figure.",
"[Dorrie laughs]",
"Phoebe: All right, tell Elise I'm on top of it, and I'll have the column in by 10:00. OK, bye.",
"Piper: Where you going?",
"Phoebe: Hey, Piper,",
"Piper: Heh?",
"Phoebe: Is there any way that we could keep it down just a little bit?",
"Piper: Well, you know, it's for Leo.",
"Phoebe: OK, you're right. I'll just go upstairs and do this.",
"Piper: Or you could help me get the house ready for our dinner guests.",
"Phoebe: Um, Piper, dinner is, like, 4 hours from now. Are you sure you're doing OK?",
"Piper: Yeah, I'm fine. Why?",
"Phoebe: Why? Because you didn't clean and prep this much for your own wedding, that's why. Piper, you're not dealing.",
"Piper: You're not helping. Billie! You're really early.",
"Billie: Yeah, we decided to drive by the campus instead. Can we come in? Please?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Billie: You know, Phoebe over here is actually \"Ask Phoebe,\" the advice columnist from the Bay Mirror.",
"Helen: Really? Wow.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, yeah, that's me. Um, actually, I'm working on a very interesting question from one of my readers right now.",
"Carl: We don't read the advice columns.",
"Phoebe: Oh.",
"Piper: Would anyone like more wine?",
"Paige: Ooh, well, that reminds me, I have to go meet Henry. Uh, you know, for drinks. [Chuckles] Getting kind of late. And you know, if there's anyone you don't want to be late for, that would be a parole officer. Ok, honey, good luck. Goodbye.",
"Helen: Did she say parole officer?",
"Billie: It's not what you think.",
"Carl: Interesting friends.",
"Billie: Excuse me?",
"Carl: Well, I think we should be going, too. It was kind of you to invite us. Thank you for dinner.",
"Phoebe: Wait, wait, no. We--you know, you haven't even had dessert yet.",
"Carl: It's been a long trip.",
"Billie: I need to ask you guys about Christy right now.",
"[Helen gasps.]",
"Carl: That's not something we talk about in front of strangers, Billie.",
"Phoebe: Uh, we're not really strangers.",
"Billie: No. Actually, Dad, they're friends. Really good friends. And for the record, you never want to talk about her. In fact, I remember a month after she was taken, you guys went back to your pretty little lives like nothing ever happened, but something did happen.",
"Carl: You were 5, what do you know?",
"Billie: I know you didn't do a damn thing to try and find her.",
"Helen: That's not true.",
"[Fly buzzing]",
"Piper: Ok, maybe we should all just sit down and--",
"Carl: I told you coming here was a mistake.",
"Billie: No, the mistake was me thinking you guys could know that this hurts me, too.",
"Helen: Why do you always do this to us?",
"Carl: Because she doesn't care about us, that's why.",
"Billie: I don't care about you?! You guys are cold-hearted assassins.",
"[Fly buzzing]",
"[Fly splats]",
"Carl: Nice shot, babe.",
"Helen: Thanks, hon. Hmmm.",
"Piper: Oh, boy.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Helen: Mmm, titanium. [Laughs] The best.",
"Carl:: Mmm.",
"Helen: Nice gun. Where'd you get that?",
"Carl: I don't know, but I like it.",
"Helen: [Laughs.] Me, too.",
"Billie: What's going on?",
"Phoebe: Piper, what did you put in their food?",
"Piper: Food was in the food, thank you.",
"Phobes: Well, how do you explain this?",
"Piper: Well, don't look at me. She's the one that said \"assassins\".",
"Billie: It's a figure of speech.",
"Piper: Well, apparently not.",
"Billie: Mom, Dad?",
"Helen: Excuse me? Who are you?",
"Billie: I'm your daughter. Billie.",
"Helen: Come here. Come here. Mmm.",
"Phoebe: Ok, you know, let's talk over here. You guys, just don't mind us. Just keep grossing me out over there.",
"Billie: How did this happen?",
"Phoebe: I have no idea, but we have to figure it out fast.",
"Piper: Ok, why don't you two go upstairs and check the book, see if you can find anything that will help them, and I will stay here and keep an eye on Mr. and Mrs. there.",
"Phoebe: Well, I don't think it was a spell because the words didn't rhyme, but obviously it had something to do with the words, right?",
"Billie: You know, or maybe it was just-- me.",
"Phoebe: Well, no, it couldn't have just been you. I mean, that was a pretty powerful transformation down there.",
"Billie: Well, tell that to these flowers. This morning they were alive until I said something like \"suck the life out of this place,\" and then they just...",
"Phoebe: Got the life sucked out of them?",
"Billie: Phoebe, what's happening to me?",
"Phoebe: Oh, sweetie, I don't know. Although I do know of a power called projection, and I've never actually seen it, but I know it exists.",
"Billie: Projection?",
"Phoebe: It lets the witch turn people and things into whatever comes to mind without a spell or a potion. It's pretty powerful stuff.",
"Billie: Wait, so you're saying I just all of a sudden have this new power?",
"Phoebe: Well, it kind of makes sense if you think about it. Right? I mean, you're growing as a witch, and our powers are tied to our emotions, and you've been suppressing those lately.",
"Billie: Well, if I can turn my parents into something, I can turn them back, right? Dead flowers, be alive again!",
"Phoebe: Yeah, it takes a while to get the hang of new powers, plus you're not in the same emotional state you were downstairs.",
"Billie: Well, how do I get back to that same emotional state?",
"Phoebe: I don't know. But when",
"you figure it out, just be careful what you say.",
"[Muffled speech]",
"Billie: Oh, my gosh!",
"Phoebe: Piper, what happened?",
"Piper: Uh, well, augh!",
"Billie: Sorry.",
"Piper: Your parents jumped me. It's the last time I invite them to dinner.",
"Phoebe: Easy, easy.",
"Billie: They beat your freeze?",
"Piper: Ugh, I didn't even have a chance. They're fast, and they're dangerous.",
"Billie: What do you mean?",
"Piper: They said they were going to find some real action.",
"Phoebe: What does that mean?",
"Billie: The only action I remember them looking for growing up was bowling night.",
"Phoebe: Hmm.",
"Piper: Well, now apparently they're looking for an arsenal.",

"[Dance music playing]",
"Bartender: Hey, Paige, what's up?",
"Paige: Hey. Hi. I'm supposed to meet my date here. Has anyone come up and asked for me?",
"Bartender: No, not tonight.",
"Paige: Huh. He was supposed to meet me 30 minutes ago. Ok. Um, you're sure?",
"Bartender: I'm sure. Sorry.",
"[Cell phone rings]",
"Paige: You're late.",
"Piper: Paige, hi. Where are you?",
"Paige: Oh, well, apparently I'm being stood up. Why?",
"Piper: Because we need you at home. Apparently we have some assassins to save.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Gunshots]",
"Carl: Where you hiding all those things anyway?",
"Helen: Well, I'm all out of ammo now. But you're welcome to check.",
"Carl: Later. First we need to stock up. Ammo for me. Prada for you.",
"Helen: Mmm, you read my mind.",
"Carl: Hmm.",
"Helen: Thank you.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Paige: All right, ladies, so what is it? What's the plan?",
"Piper: Well, hello to you, too.",
"Paige: Sorry. Just got stood up. Not really so much in the mood for chitchat.",
"Phoebe: Ohh, well, I'm sure Henry has a perfectly good explanation for that.",
"Paige: Hmm, doesn't he always? Ok, what's going on?",
"Billie: Find my parents before they kill someone.",
"Phoebe: We're going to stun 'em with this, bring them back here, and then change them back.",
"Piper: Except we haven't figured out that last part yet.",
"Billie: Yeah, and this isn't working. You know, maybe I should just use my new power, turn myself into a target, so they come after me.",
"Phoebe: You know, Billie, this isn't your fault.",
"Billie: Yes, it is.",
"Phoebe: No, you got emotional and hurt. It's completely understandable.",
"Paige: Hey, can we make some of that stun potion for me to use on Mr. Henry?",
"Piper: People, focus. The longer they're out there, the more damage they do.",
"Paige: Well, you know, scrying's not going to work for them anyway because they're not magical.",
"Piper: No, but they are enchanted.",
"Billie: Hey, I think I found them.",
"Phoebe: OK, great. Piper, take these.",
"Piper: Oh, no, I can't go.",
"Paige: Why not?",
"Piper: Well, the boys.",
"Phoebe: Sweetie, the boys will be OK. I'll stay here. Don't worry about them.",
"Piper: No, I know. I'm just, you know, with Leo gone, I kinda want to stay close to them.",
"Phoebe: OK. I'll go. We'll be back.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Billie: Oh, are they dead?",
"Phoebe: No, it looks like they're still breathing.",
"Paige: Looks like your parents were just toying with them.",
"Billie: I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.",
"Paige: Bad thing. Throw the potion.",
"Phoebe: Uh-oh.",
"Billie: Mom, Dad, we're not trying to hurt you. We want to help you.",
"Helen: Why does she keep calling us that?",
"Carl: I have no idea.",
"Phoebe: Paige!",

"Dalvos: You said you could handle this. You promised.",
"demon nanny: Have I ever let you down?",
"Dalvos: No. No, it's just yesterday I had only one witch to worry about. Now I've got three.",
"demon nanny: Not just any 3 witches. The Charmed Ones.",
"Dalvos: What? That's who they are? I don't have the power to stand up to them.",
"demon nanny: You don't have the power to stand up to anybody. Demonically speaking, I mean. But you won't have to. As far as they know, you're human. They can't touch you.",
"Dalvos: Maybe not. But they're sure as hell not going to let us take out Grant so I can become chairman.",
"nanny demon: We won't have to take him out. They'll do it for us. At least, Billie's spellbound parents will.",
"Dalvos: How?",
"demon nanny: You're going to hire them.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Knock on door]",
"Dalvos: I hear you two are looking for some action. I come bearing gifts.",
"Carl: And who are you?",
"Dalvos: Someone who wants somebody killed. Interested? Everything you'll need to get through security, including the weapon, which I assume you'll be able to figure out.",
"Helen: Who's the mark?",
"Dalvos: In the envelope. It won't be easy, and you'll only get one shot at him. Plus, the meeting's in less than an hour.",
"Carl: And what's in it for us?",
"Dalvos: Whatever you want.",
"[Helen laughs.]",
"Carl: We're in.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Phoebe: They still moving?",
"Billie: Yep.",
"Phoebe: Hey, you OK?",
"Billie: 0h, yeah, sure, considering my parents tried to shoot me.",
"Paige: Well, if it makes you feel better, you know, they weren't really your parents when they did that. I mean, they didn't know they were your parents. But they are your parents is what I'm saying.",
"Phoebe: Just keep mixing.",
"Billie: I just still can't believe this is all happening.",
"Phoebe: Well, it's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong.",
"Billie: I know, but still. You know, it's so weird, but I can remember them being like this all the time.",
"Paige: What, like assassins?",
"Billie: No, happy. Together-- working together, laughing. When Christy got kidnapped, it all just--",
"Phoebe: Well, it's the hardest thing in the world to lose a child.",
"Billie: I know. I know that. Even though I may have just been 5, I miss the way it used to be. Well, I guess it's good to know they have it in them still.",
"Phoebe: Who knows? Maybe they'll be like that again soon. After you find Christy. Piper?",
"Paige: Uh, no, she's with the babies, putting them down for a nap. Here. I think I know who it is. Oh, and, uh, we lucked out with her parents before, but we need to stop them before they kill an innocent.",
"Phoebe: I know, I know.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Paige: Henry, hi.",
"Henry: Did you get any of my calls?",
"Paige: Yeah, I got all your calls.",
"Henry: Ok, you're mad. I-- I don't blame you. Um, I can explain, though, all right?",
"Paige: There's really nothing to explain. Ha! You stood me up.",
"Henry: One of my parolees skipped out. What was I supposed to do?",
"Paige: Call me.",
"Henry: Oh, I did. I tried calling.",
"Paige: Before, Henry. Not after. Look, here's the thing. I'm a big girl. I really am. So if you don't want to go out with me, please just say so because I'm really not into the whole game-playing thing.",
"Henry: I'm not playing any games, Paige.",
"Paige: It's not supposed to be this hard this early. I don't know. I keep feeling like there's something off or there's something you're not telling me, some sort of secret.",
"Henry: What are you not telling me?",
"Paige: Don't turn this around on me.",
"Henry: No, I'll admit-- I have my secrets.",
"Paige: Oh, my God, are you married?",
"Henry: No, I'm not married. Look, we both know you're not telling me something here, OK? I have trouble getting close to people, Paige. And I know it doesn't let me off the hook, but when you're holding back on me--",
"Phoebe: Paige! We gotta move. Uh, so could get the thing from the thing for the thing.",
"Paige: Yeah. Um, ok. Well, I have to go. I'll call you.",
"Henry: You promise?",
"Paige: Promise.",
"Phoebe: Sorry, it's just her parents stopped moving.",
"Billie: Right where I was trying to prove my conspiracy theory, too.",
"Piper: What conspiracy theory?",
"Billie: The one about my sister being one of many powerful kids that was kidnapped by demons.",
"Phoebe: Think Manchurian Candidate.",
"Paige: Which version?",
"Phoebe: Does it matter?",
"Billie: I don't even understand what my parents are doing here anyway. I mean it's too big of a coincidence to be a coincidence, right?",
"Phoebe: Well, maybe there really are demons at the company, and they know you're onto them.",
"Paige: Maybe they're using your parents as leverage.",
"Phoebe: This time, you're going, I'm staying.",
"Piper: Wait, but--",
"Phoebe: No buts. We don't know what we're up against, and you have more firepower than I do.",
"Piper: Yeah, but you've got the potions.",
"Paige: They're only stun potions.",
"Piper: So, we can make vanguiishing potions.",
"Billie: We don't have time. My parents don't have time.",
"Phoebe: Look, you can't hole up here anymore. And you can't busy yourself with endless tasks, OK? You have to get back out there and fight. For Leo.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Paige: Do you see them anywhere?",
"Billie: Nope.",
"Piper: How do you know they're in there?",
"Billie: Well, Dalvos is here, so they have to be close.",
"Carl: Excuse me. Is this seat taken?",
"Helen: Help yourself.",
"[Applause]",
"Grant: Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone. There's been a lot of talk about where our company'ss going next, both in terms of our businesses, and in terms of the broader question: Will Pelham go public or remain private? It's this question I'd like to address today. Now, Pelham is a family company, founded on old-fashioned values: Trust, hard work, and results.",
"Billie: Oh, there they are. 2 tables from the front.",
"Paige: Well, at least they're ok.",
"Billie: How we going to get them outta here?",
"Piper: We wait.",
"Grant: So I think the real question we should be asking is, which direction will better serve these core values? So, after much consideration, I want to reassure everyone in every division, from microchips to macro turbines, that Pelham is going to remain--",
"Billie: What are you doing? Are you crazy?",
"Paige: Aah! Hot!",
"Piper: Something's not right. Why would they want to shoot him?",
"nanny demon: Because I wanted them to. Just so you know, whether or not you vanquish me, it won't save mommy and daddy.",
"Piper: How do you figure?",
"nanny demon: Because the chairman is still going to die. And they will still be blamed for his murder. And afterwards, our greatest creation-- for all intents and purposes, a human-- Rod Dalvos will take over, and with it give us the demonic foothold we've worked a generation to achieve.",
"Piper: And how do you plan to accomplish all that?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Phoebe: I don't know. It just came to me. Actually, I don't know why I had such a hard time with the question in the first place.",
"Dorrie: [Over telephone] But it's brilliant, Phoebe, really.",
"Phoebe: Oh, well, I don't know about brilliant.",
"Dorrie: Are you kidding? \"Sometimes people can rely a little too much on a sibling for their emotional needs, not being open to finding love outside of the home. Sometimes you have to move out to move on.\" How'd you come up with that?",
"Phoebe: Well, let's just say I can relate. And it took me a little while to figure it out. You know? And, uh, some peace and quiet.",
"Piper: We got big problems.",
"Phoebe: So much for peace and quiet. Uh, OK, get that to copy right away 'cause I don't want to miss the deadline. All right, thanks.",
"Piper: Where are the boys?",
"Phoebe: They're still napping.",
"Piper: Ok, I'm going to go take them to Dad's. I don't want them to be around here. And just so we're clear, I'm not ducking a fight. I'm just protecting my kids.",
"Phoebe: What's going on? What happened?",
"Billie: What's going on is my parents just tried to kill someone.",
"Paige: But they didn't.",
"Phoebe: Oh, well, thank God for that.",
"Paige: Yeah, except that they are wanted for murder. See, they were set up by this demon who was--",
"Billie: A human demon.",
"Paige: Yeah, who wants to take over a company.",
"Phoebe: Back up, a human demon?",
"Billie: Yeah, Dalvos, the guy I met, he hired my parents to kill his boss.",
"Paige: Well, he, actually hired the nanny.",
"Phoebe: Wait, the demon has a nanny?",
"Paige: Well, she's really the one who's pulling the strings.",
"Billie: Yeah, and she's trying to frame my parents, so we have to get to them before she does.",
"Paige: Or the police do.",
"[Phoebe sighs]",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Reporter: Do you have any idea why anyone would want to shoot your cousin?",
"Dalvos: I honestly don't know why they'd want to kill Grant. I mean, I assume it's connected to their daughter coming to ask for our help yesterday.",
"Reporter: Help for what?",
"Another reporter: Can you elaborate on that?",
"Dalvos: Help in finding her sister. I guess she thought since I, too, was a kidnap victim as a child, we could help. We looked into the possibility, of course. But when Grant discovered that her parents had spent the past 15 years searching for their daughter with no success, he decided there wasn't really anything we could do. Obviously, Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins didn't like that answer.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Dalvos: How long before I become chairman?",
"demon nanny: We wait for a respectable period of mourning. After all, we wouldn't want to appear too anxious or cast unwanted suspicions, now, would we?",
"Dalvos: All right. Then what do we do?",
"demon nanny: We take care of loose ends. That's what we do.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Cell phone rings]",
"Carl: Yeah? You'll text me where to find this loose end? Consider it done.",
"[Cell phone rings]",
"Helen: Yes? All right. Where do I find the mark?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Piper: How's it going?",
"Phoebe: Oh, not good. They've split up, and they keep moving around. Every time the crystal drops, it jumps someplace else.",
"Piper: Well, maybe they know someone's looking for them.",
"Phoebe: Well, I think everyone's looking for them",
"Piper: Where's Paige?",
"Phoebe: She's upstairs trying to find the demon nanny in the book.",
"Dalvos: [Over computer speaker] I honestly don't know why they'd want to kill grant.",
"Phoebe: Hey, how's it going?",
"Dalvos: I mean, I can only assume it's connected to their daughter coming to...",
"Phoebe: Billie!",
"Billie: What?",
"Phoebe: Did you find anything?",
"Billie: Just this.",
"Dalvos: Help in finding her sister. I guess she thought since I, too, had been a kidnap victim as a child, that we could do something. We looked into the possibility, of course, but when Grant discovered that her parents have spent the past 15 years searching for her without success, he decided there wasn't really anything we could do. Obviously Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins didn't like that answer.",
"Billie: This is all over the internet. I mean, they were looking for her, and they didn't even tell me.",
"Phoebe: Ok. We're going to find them, Billie.",
"Billie: How? Scrying isn't working.",
"Phoebe: You know what? There might be another way. If Christy and Billie both have powers, doesn't that mean that their parents have to be the carriers?",
"Piper: If it's in the blood.",
"Right. So wouldn't that mean that the \"call for a lost witch\" spell might work?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Carl: Helen.",
"Helen: Carl.",
"Carl: I had no idea.",
"Helen: Me neither.",
"Carl: What are we going to do?",
"Helen: Hmm. We have a choice?",
"Carl: You could drop your gun.",
"Helen: [Chuckles] Or you could drop yours.",
"Carl: Hmm. This isn't how I wanted it to end.",
"Helen: Me, neither.",
"Carl: I love you.",
"Helen: I love you, too.",
"Phoebe: Freeze them.",
"Helen: One move, and you die.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Helen: Who are you? Who hired you?",
"Piper: Who hired us?",
"Carl: To take us out. We want names. Now!",
"Piper: Billie, I don't really want to blow up your parents, but--",
"Billie: All right, stop it. This is crazy. You want to shoot me? Is that what you want to do?",
"Helen: Easy, Billie.",
"Billie: You already lost one daughter. You want to lose other one, too? Do you want to pull that trigger, Mom? It's not going to bring Christy back, and I know that's the one thing you want more than anything in this world. Why didn't you tell me you kept searching for her? Don't you think I needed to know, that I wanted to know? I was just a kid. I was scared and young, and I didn't know y better, and I thought you didn't care about me or her. And now, you're all I have left.",
"Helen: Oh, Billie. I'm so sorry, baby.",
"Paige: Hey, guess what, guys. I think I, um figured out how to clear their names. Did I miss something?",
"Helen: Ohh, my baby.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Dalvos: First, I'd like to thank you all for coming on such short notice. Trust me, I wouldn't have dragged you all down here if it wasn't important. I won't be taking the company public after all. It's staying in the family, private. Just like Grant and his father wanted it to. Secondly, I wanted you all to know I'm not going to become the next chairman after all because... I'll be going to jail instead.",
"[Alarmed murmurs]",
"Piper as Dalvos: You see...I'm the one who shot Grant, not that girl's parents. I just made it look like they did because I wanted to take over the company.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Dalvos: Whoa. You scared me. What's wrong?",
"demon nanny: What's wrong is it's over, Dalvos. 30 years of planning gone!",
"Dalvos: What? How?",
"demon nanny: Because the witches outsmarted us, that's how. They knew they couldn't vanquish you, so they ruined you instead. Destroyed your reputation. Now we're both ruined.",
"Dalvos: So what does this mean? What do we do now?",
"demon nanny: We tie up loose ends.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Phoebe: Ah, another day, another demon.",
"Piper: Ah, did they print my speech? It was a good speech.",
"Phoebe: Obviously. Too bad Mary Poppins got away.",
"Piper: Yeah, well, don't worry about it. I'm sure we'll be seeing her again in about 30 years or so.",
"Phoebe: Oh, we won't be doing this in another 30 years. They will.",
"Piper: I wonder where we'll be.",
"Phoebe: Well, my guess is you'll be sitting right there feeding your grandkids with Leo.",
"Piper: Let's hope so.",
"Phoebe: Piper, give yourself a break. It's going to take some time, you know. And you have to allow yourself that time.",
"Piper: Sounds like good advice. Did you have any for the twins?",
"Phoebe: Actually, I did. I suggested that she move out of the house, get her own space.",
"Piper: That's good advice. All right, buddy, let's go. What do you say? Watch your fingers, fingers, fingers. Come on, come on, come on. All righty.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Paige: Hey.",
"Henry: Hey.",
"Paige: Just a question. Why is it so hard for you to get close to people?",
"Henry: Well, you don't beat around the bush, huh?",
"Paige: Well I, um, figure since you stood me up, I can ask anything I want. I'm not mad or anything like that. I was just curious.",
"Henry: I don't know. I think because I grew up in foster homes, you know, and I just bounced around. It made me not trust. You know, whenever I would get close to somebody, they would-- they would leave. I mean, really, I would leave. So now it's years later, and whenever I like someone.. I'm sorry. It's that fight-or-flight thing.",
"Paige: There's nothing to be sorry for. But just so you know... you don't have to run from me.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Helen: You two. You fought like cats and dogs, you know. You were as wildly different as any 2 kids could ever be. And you were inseparable.",
"Billie: We were?",
"Helen: Oh, yeah. Of course, Christy loved to get you in trouble--a lot. It took your father and me a while to figure that one out. She was very sneaky that way.",
"Billie: You know, I don't remember that much about her. There's little moments and things here and there, but most of what I remember of her I loved.",
"Helen: Ah, honey... she adored you. She was very protective of you, too. Nobody could pick on you...except her.",
"Billie: Why didn't you tell me you kept looking for her?",
"Helen: I don't know. We should have. We just didn't know what to do. When it happened, we were devastated. Maybe it was wrong for all of us, but we made the choice to try and make life as normal as possible for you. We thought if we just didn't talk about it--",
"Billie: Mom, you know what? It's OK. I understand. Did you know Christy was a witch? I mean, that I was?",
"Helen: Mm-hmm. Just like your grandmother. I guess it skipped a generation, huh?",
"Billie: Yeah, lucky you.",
"Helen: No, lucky you. You have a very special gift, Billie, one that you were meant to do great things with. I know that. Just embrace it.",
"Billie: I'm going to find her, Mom. I promise.",
"Helen: Well, maybe this will help. It's Christy's diary. We never could figure out what the last entry meant. Maybe you can. Be safe.",
"Billie: Bye, Mom.",
"Helen: Bye, baby."

Charmed_08x12.json | [
"With the intention of helping his parolee get a loan, Henry, along with Paige, go to a bank but instead the parolee decides to take everyone at the bank hostage. Meanwhile, Phoebe and Piper have their hands full when, during Wyatt's third birthday party, Wyatt uses his projection power to turn three of his toys into real people. Unfortunately the situation at the bank degenerates when Henry is accidentally shot and a possessor demon, wanting to expose the Charmed Ones, possesses the parole and tries to force Paige to orb Henry to a hospital and expose herself. Unexpectedly she develops the Whitelighter healing power and heals Henry's wound before switching places with Billie using her glamouring power. Paige is taken hostage by the demon who takes her to Magic School, but Paige orbs them to the manor attic where Piper and Phoebe dispossesses the parolee and Billie vanquishes the demon."

"Piper: Oh, no, sweetie. No, no, no, no no. That's not funny. What are you doing? What are you doing? Buddy...wyatt, you know better than that. [Gasps] No, swee [Whispers] Ok, comee. Listen, why don't you go play with your toys, ok, in the other room while mommy cleans this up, ok? See you later.",
"Elder: It isn't easy, is it? Sorry, I should have knocked before I orbed.",
"Piper: What is it? Do you know something about leo?",
"Elder: No more than you do, I'm sorry to say. But the deal you made with the angel of destiny will be honored. I assure you, leo will be returned to you--",
"Piper: if and when we defeat whoever the hell it is. Any ideas?",
"Elder: If I knew, I'd tell you, piper. But for whatever reason, you're supposed to find it out on your own.",
"Piper: Yeah, well, I'm sick and tired of all these reasons that don't really make any sense. I mean, I barely understand it, let alone wyatt, whose father is here one day and then just disappears the next day. I mean, the kid's a wreck. What am I supposed to do?",
"Elder: Everything you are doing, piper. Living your lives. Celebrating his birthday. Never giving up hope. You know, he's a good kid. He's just acting out. Oh!",
"[Piper laughs]",
"Piper: He's a good boy.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Rohtul: Aah! Aah!",
"Billie: Once again, who does this symbol belong to?",
"Rohtul: I told you I don't know. I'm a possessor demon, not a--aah!",
"Billie: Here's the thing, rohtul. I'm gonna find this demon, and I'm gonna find my sister. So the question is do you want to help me, or do you want to die stupid like all the others?",
"Rohtul: Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you, witch! Aah!",
"Piper: Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? Knock it off there's a 3-year-old's party that's about to start downstairs.",
"Billie: I was just trying to squeeze one more demon in before--",
"Piper: no, there will be no more squeezing. Are you kidding me? I got enough stuff to do without worrying about who you're torturing in the attic.",
"Billie: It's not a big deal. He's just a possessor demon.",
"Piper: Oh, just a possessor demon. Did you think maybe he'd like to possess some of our guests downstairs, maybe? Did you think about that?",
"Billie: He won't be alive that long.",
"Piper: Thatthe po the point is now is not the time. I need this party to go very well.",
"Billie: And I need to find my sister. Oh, great. Now look what you did.",
"Piper: What are you doing?",
"Billie: No! I have to find him.",
"Piper: Not until after the party.",
"Billie: Piper, I can't wait until after the party, ok? He knows something.",
"Piper: Billie, would you listen to yourself? We've been through this. You can't let your obsession for revenge drive you--",
"Billie: not obse with revenge.",
"Piper: Good. Then you can understand why it can wait.",
"Billie: No, it can'T. Oh! Incoming!",
"Piper: [Moans] Maybe I should just cancel this thing.",
"Billie: What, the party?",
"Piper: Well, the gods are against me, or at least the balloons are.",
"Oh, honey, I know you're stressed. Piper, you can't be serious.",
"Piper: Can't I? I mean, a few things have changed around here since I planned the party like, you know, his father is now gone. I know, but that's even more reason to have it. It'll give wyatt a sense of normalcy.",
"Piper: I know, I know. That's what the elder said, but I'm starting to think that I'm forcing it on him, trying to pretend like everything's just peachy. Well, he misses his dad. It's completely understandable.",
"Piper: I know, I know, but I thine'sthing else, too, Something big, and I just wish I could talk to him before, you know, he turns the party guests into toads.",
"Phoebe: Well, maybe he'll talk to aunt phoebe.",
"Piper: Ok. But you know he is 3.",
"Phoebe: Well, it's worth a shot, though, isn't it?",
"Piper: Ok. You do this, and I'll do that.",

"What should we do now, rohtul? We can't just sit here and do nothing while she picks us off one at a t what would you have us do, attack? She's working with the charmed ones. That would be suicide. The charmed ones have nothing to do with this! She acts alone. This is all about her sister. A sister who was abducted by very powerfulem ds. Demons who don't wish to be revealed. You know where her sister was taken? No, but I know who did the taking. And believe me, you don't want to go up against them any more than you do the charmed ones. That doesn't solve our problem. Billie must die. The only question is how we do it. And who will risk it. I will risk it. I owe her. Follow her! Find her weakness.",

Nick's just trying to get some money to help his son move out of a bad area. That's what the money's for, and I'm here to vouch for him. And I'm here to vouch for him as well. I'm sorry. Who are yon?

"Nick: no! Sorry I let you down. Nick, you didn'T... isn't there something you can do, maybe make an exception just this once? Hey, I'm not the criminal, he is. He is not a criminal, he's a veteran, jerk. Henry. Come on. Let's just calm down. Whate matterwith you?! I can't believe this just happened. He's gonna crack, I know it. I know nick.",

I just want to make sure nobody arrying. Listen. You do what I say when I say it, nobody gets hurt, you got that? Ok. You! Over here. What are you doing? What do you want with him? Listen don't be a hero right now, ok? Just do what I say. You're making this worse than it is already. I owe you everything, henry. I mean it. You've been great to me, all right?

"Nick: Do it! I'm gonna get that loan one way or another. I can not believe this is happening. Yeah, well, it wouldn't be happening to you if you weren't so obsessed. Do you want me to call for hins? No. No, you can'tuse magic. There are cameras everywhere. We can't risk exposure. I've never seen him like this. It's like he just snapped. Oh, really? Is that what he did? Henry, can't you just maybe talk to him? You know, he trusts you. The only one he would listen to right now is his son. If we could only find someone who could bring his son here.

"Phoebe: Yeah, but you got to admit the army guy is kinda cute--",
"Piper: Forget it, phoebe. He's not anatomically correct. You need to go upstairs and reverse the spell.",
"Phoebe: I did not cast a spell. Ok, well, maybe I cast a little, little spell, but this-- this is all . So he's the only one that can reverse this.",
"Piper: Well, he got the idea from you, didn't he?",
"Phoebe: Ok, look, I said I was sorry. I was just playing with the dolls with him to try to make him open up about his emotions. That's all.",

"now at? Hostages? Are you kidding?",
"Paige: Do I look like I'm kidding? So how did you get out?",
"Paige: I said I had to go to the bathroom, which means I have to hurry, hurry, hurry to get back. Nick has a son, ok? His last name's edwards. If you can find him and bring him down to the bank, that would be fantastic! Wait--how?",
"Paige: Call henry's office, say you know me, say that you know henry and he s's o also, call agent murphy, have him call homeland security and tell S.W.A.T. Down there to not get trigger happy. We don't want nick to get killed. Tell wyatt I said happy birthday. I'm so glad leo's not here to see this. Hey! Stay put.",

"Paige: JI think we need to buy some time. Do you think maybe you can make a potion from some of that stuff down there?",
"Billie: Thought you didn't want to risk us using magic.",
"Paige: JI don't, but I also don't want anyone to get hurt. Maybe it won't look like magic if there aren't magical ingredients, right? Just see what you can do. Ok? Be car [Ring] Come on. Come on, pick up. All right, that's enough. Put it down. Get back over there.",
"[Phone contngin",

"Nick: you sure as hell better authorize it or what happens next is on you, pal. And don't try stalling. I know the game. All right, let's be calm and talk about this first, all r? [Sighs] This is lieutenant sanchez. You want me to what? But that's against every negotiating procedure we've-- very well. All right. You got your chopper. 20 minutes.",
"Nick: 20 minutes... and I'm outta here. That doesn't make any sense. They never give in that quickly. Maybe they're hoping someone will talk him down.",
"Reporter: ...But the license plate of the car that rammed into e bank has been traced to nick edwards of ingleside, a decorated ex-marine who... well, now we owe agent murphy again. At least they bought some time. I'm really worried about paige and billie. Do you think we should call the elders? No, it's not a magical problem. There's nothing tn do. There's really nothing we can do either. Should we ask everyone to leave? No, wyatt'll be crushed. This is the most fun he's had in a long time. Thanks to his new huge big action heroes? Yeah. So how well do you know leo?",

"Henry: Good. Good. That's what you'll tell your son, right?",
"Nick: You leave him out of this.",
"Henry: He's already in it. The things you do affect your son, nick... big time. Is this what you want for him?",
"Nick: What I want?",
"Henry: Yeah, for for your.",
"Nick: What I want is not to have been treated like a frickin' pariah ever since I got back.",
"Henry: You gotta expect that when you do time.",
"Nick: I'm not talking about when I got out of prison. I'm talking about when I got out of iraq. I risked my life over there, and for what--huh? To be treated like crap ever since I got back? It's not right.",
"Henry: It's not. You're right. It's not right, nick. But neither is this-- getting even, it's not the answer. Revenge makes you do things you're gonna regret. You're hurt. I mean, you're angry. I don't blame you. I would be, too. Nobody here blames you. They'll take that into account. But you gotta stop... right now. For your son. Put that gun down. It's not too late. Gimme the gun.",

"Well? The witch has problems of her own at the moment. Explain! She's being held hostage along with one of the charmed ones in a bank. Shots were fired. A mortal was wounded. Why don't they use their powers? Because they can't. And neither can we. It's one of the few things both sides agreed upon eons ago. Neither can leave a magical trail for mortals to follow. The secret must be kept. So we just wait? No. We take advantage of their situation. If I time it just right, I just might be able to force their magical hand, make them choose between exposing their secret and saving innocents, something they're honor-bound to do. But he just said exposing our-- we won't be! They will be! Revenge has many faces... something that little witch is about to learn. Go back. Let me know when it's time...",

"Paige: You'ht. You're the one who should have been shot! I'm sorry. I'm just worried about him. I know you are, too, because like you said, henry's been there for you every step of the way, right?",
"Nick: Don't you think I know that?",
"Paige: I do think you know that which is why I know deep down you want to do the right thing and let them take him to a hospital.",

Yeah, well, I've changed my mind. How 'bout you give me a little more time to think it through? Yeah, I have plenty of time. I'll just wait around another 20 minutes. It doesn't matter.

"So much for being under the protection of the charmed ones. But I thought you said you were going to try to expose them. Still... this is the one I wanted. This is the one we all wanted. Looks like you're never gonna find your sister after all. After you. Energy balls! Surprise! [Coughing] How-- but you can't orb! No. But paige can. She switched identities during the smoke bomb. With the real billie. Talking about me? This one? Sure. Ah, ah! So, uh, where were we? Aah! Yes... where were we? What is it gonna take to get through to you?",
"Billie: You guys, I know. Believe me, I get it. You don't have to tell me anymore. I justna find my sister so badly.",
"Piper: I know, and I wanna get my husband back very badly, but that doesn't mean I run around half-cocked all the time to do it. And it's not gonna do your sister any good if you get killed while trying to find her.",
"Billie: I know that now. I'm not gonna let vengeance drive me to try and find her. Now it's about bringing her home safely. And that's it. What do we do with him? Well, ess I'll orb he andllie to park. Maybe you can stumble outta there calling for help? Well, what's he gonna do? He's probably gonna have to go back to prison unless henry can find somebody to help him out. Hey, speaking of henry, how did he make such a miraculous recovery? I don't really think we have to discuss that now. What happened? Well, I think that paige heale it's very important-- that this isn't your fault. It's not anybody's fault. It just is. And I know it's hard to understand, but...I'm gonna do everything in my power to get your daddy back, ok? I'm gonna do everything I can to bring your daddy back. That's a good job, buddy. Come here. Oh, my goodness. You're such a big boy. Don't worry."

"As Phoebe begins to out of the manor, a trio of demons looks to hijack the sisters' lives in order to obtain the Power of Three and the Book of Shadows.

"'Paige': Energy ball.",

"Phoebe: Well, I did. Now I just need a sec.",

"(She grabs her box. Paige walks in from the kitchen and groans.)",
"Paige: Oh, what am I gonna do? (Phoebe puts her box down.) I'm supposed to have a date with Henry tonight, and he is in the worst mood. He's lost his car keys, he's lost his wallet, he's locked himself out of his apartment. And I need him to be in a good mood for what I want to do tonight.",
"Piper: We aren't talking about s*x, are we?",
"Paige: No. We're not talking about s*x. I finally got up my courage to tell him, eh, you know, that I'm a witch. And I feel like I have to do it tonight otherwise I might woos out. I really need to know if he's, okay with who I am. You've been through this a lot, Pheebs. Got any advice?",
"Phoebe: Well, hope he doesn't faint. (Paige rolls her eyes.) No. I don't know. I haven't had any success with these things. Just ease into it, you know, try to lessen the blow.",
"Paige: Okay, how?",
"Phoebe: Maybe call in some reinforcements. Maybe ask some of your magical friends to help him have a better day so you can have a better night.",
"Paige: Like fairies or something?",
"Phoebe: Sure. Fairies, leprechauns, whatever. (She turns back to her box.) Good luck.",

''''Savard:'''' Then you also know that there's a reason why our kind has been enslaved for centuries. The slave king is no ordinary demon. 'Demon3:' We escaped. 'Savard:' Yes. So we could return with enough power to destroy him. A power I'm not sure we've got yet.",
"Demon3: We've spent the last eight years replicating the greatest power there is.",
"Demon2: Charmed power.",
"Demon1: And we've not only studied every aspect of what they know and who they are.",
"Demon3: We've infused our blood with their magical blood so that their power is our power.",
"Demon1: Which means, we may already have the Power of Three. 'Savard:' But you haven't shown it yet! (The three girls back off.) In any test or trial. Which means, you don't have it. And you need to get it. If you have any hopes of destroying the slave king. There must be a way. Think back. Tap into your knowledge of the riches.",

"Demon3: No. Only Wyatt can wield it.",

"Demon2: So, if we could trap all of them inside the dollhouse...",
"Demon3: Like Piper was trapped once before...",

"Piper: Oh. Yeah. Sure. I mean, you know, if she's not going to be using it anymore.",
"Billie: Maybe I should just take this stuff to my dorm.",
"Piper: No, no, no. Don't be ridiculous. I just, you know, I wish she would've said something, that's all. Is that our spirit board?",
"Billie: Uh, yeah, she said I could borrow it to contact Christy. Can I?",
"Piper: Yeah. You know, sure. If you want to start paying rent. (Billie gives her a look. Piper grins.) Just kidding. Can I borrow the Book?",

And not to cast any aspersions on your character, you guys are known for the kind of sticky finger problem. (The fairy smiles.) So I was wondering if you could go back to your people, and tell them to put everything back. That would help me so much because I really, really, really need his undivided attention tonight. (The fairy nods.) Thank you.",

"Paige: Very subtle. I mean, very, very lucky. Some would say magical. 'Henry:' Yeah, I don't know, but I'll take it.",
"Paige: So good. Are we still on for dinner? 'Henry:' What's so important that you can't tell me right now?",
"Paige: You're just going to have to wait and hear all about it tonight. Seven o'clock okay? 'Henry:' Look, Paige. Five of my parolees have job interviews tomorrow. They all asked me to write letters of recommendation for them tonight.",
"Paige: Okay. Write them. 'Henry:' Yeah. Well, that's a little easier said than done. I, um, I'm not a writer, Paige. Look-look, please. Don't think that I don't want to go out with you, okay, I do. I have all this work. I don't want to let these guys down. Who knows, maybe I'll get inspired.",
"(Paige stands up.)",
"Paige: I think should count on that. I'll see you at seven, Henry. (She steps out of the office and closes the door behind her.)

"Piper: It's also not going to happen if we don't try.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but we have been trying. And we can't just stop living our lives, you know. I mean, you said so yourself.",
"Piper: Yeah, well. I didn't mean it. (Phoebe sighs.) Look, I just don't want to lose this lead, okay? He could know something.",
"Phoebe: All right, look. I haven't signed the loan docs yet, so why don't I swing by after work.",

"Piper: Are you kidding me? Please, I've already rented out your room. (Phoebe smiles.) Oh, by the way could you do me a favor and pick up some mandrake root on your way home? If this guy, Zakal, doesn't want to be cooperative, we may need a vanquishing potion. Okay, thanks.",

"Demon2: Definitely.",
"Savard: All right. It's time to switch one more sister.",
"Demon3: One more? Why not both of us? We know we can channel the Power of Three now. So, let's just go vanquish the Slave King.",
"Savard: We cannot vanquish him without the potion which means we need a witch to find it for us in the Book of Shadows.",
"Demon3: So why don't we go look for it?",
"Savard: Because you might be able to fool the sisters, but you cannot fool the Book. It senses evil.",
"Demon2: He's right?",
"(Savard points at Demon2.)",
"Savard: You go. Play on Piper's desire to get Leo back. Make it look like the Slave King is behind it all. She will do anything to get her husband back.",

"'Phoebe': Okay. Don't use the guilt card with me. Like you did with Cole.",

"Paige: Maybe she was just flustered.",
"Piper: Flustered? If anybody has the right to be flustered around here it would be the newly single mom, okay?",

"Piper: Now, I have to go find another damn wizard. (She looks at the dining room table.) Where is the Book?",

"Phoebe: Uh, he's the demon that replaced us with lookalikes. Which, by the way, I can't even believe that you didn't notice that wasn't me.",
"Paige: Well, so are we. You only vanquished a wizard with us. She van-she van-her-the not you...whatever. Wait a second. We used the Power of Three.",

"Piper: Really? (She closes the Book of Shadows.) Okay, I'm listening.",

"'Phoebe': Well, the Elders have. What do you say we track him down and see if we can find anything.",
"Piper: I don't know. I think we should focus on this demonic seer I found.",
"'Paige': No, no. The Elders say he's pretty evil. He's enslaved an entire demonic race for centuries now.",
"Piper: Well, that actually sounds like a good thing.",
"'Paige': No. It's not. He's forcing them to do his demonic bidding. (Piper gives her a look.) It's just something we should check on is all.",
"'Phoebe': What have we got to lose?",
"'Paige': Yeah.",
"Piper: You two seem awfully gung ho about this.",
"'Phoebe': Well, anything to find Leo, hon.",
"'Paige': Should we look at the Book?",

"O'Brien: (to 'Paige') Why didn't you meet me like you said?",
"'Paige': Oh, I'm sorry. You're?",
"O'Brien: Someone who's got better things to do than chasing the whims of a witch. No matter how good you been to the little people.",
"'Paige': Well, I've just been busy helping my sister.",
"O'Brien: I was just trying to give your boyfriend a little luck. That is what you want, isn't it?",
"'Paige': That sounds just, swell. So how about you go give that guy some luck. Scamper off. Skeedaddle. Go with God.",
"(She smiles and waves him off.)",
"O'Brien: Fine. But after this, we're even. Go n-eiri an bother leat!",
"(A rainbow appears. He steps in and the two disappear.)",
"'Phoebe': Now where were we?",

"Henry: Jameson. Where'd you find him?",
"Jameson: I was just walking in and there he was. Walked right up to me and turned himself in.",
"Officer1: Henry! (He walks in with two more parolees.) Got two more for you. Caught them just before they left town.",
"Henry: Where'd you find them? I've been looking for them for weeks. (His phone rings. He answers it.) Yeah, it's Mitchell. What? I just won ten thous-I just won $10,000. I just won $10,000! (Two more officers walk, both with a recaptured parolee.) What is going on today?",
"[Cut to attic.]",
"Piper: Well, he's powerful, but he's no seer. I don't know why he would know who's after us. Maybe the Elders don't know what they're talking about.",
"'Paige': Well, who are we to question them?",
"Piper: We question them all the time.",
"'Paige': Right. Maybe this time they just know something we don't.",
"'Phoebe': Okay. Can we get on with this? I have to get to work.",
"'Paige': Any vanquishing potion in there?",
"Piper: No.",
"'Phoebe': Okay. Well, we can make one, right? In the back of the book. Just flip to the back of the book.",
"Piper: I know, thank you. (Golden orbs swirl around her, but disappear.) What was that? Did you see that?",
"'Paige': See what?",
"Piper: You didn't see that? That was weird. It felt like somebody was calling me or something.",
"'Phoebe': That is odd. Uh, is that the potion?",
"Piper: All right. (to 'Phoebe') What is the matter with you two?",
"'Phoebe': This.",
"(She punches Piper, knocking her down.)",

"Piper: Oh, I should've known they were demons.",
"Paige: Speaking of demons, did they mention Slave King to you?",
"Piper: Yes. Right before I showed them the vanquishing potion.",
"Paige: Oh, great.",
"Phoebe: Well, there's nothing you could've done. Maybe if I'd been around more lately...",
"Piper: No. Forget about it, Phoebe. It wasn't your fault.",
"Paige: The question is how do we get out of here? We couldn't even call you with the lost witch spell.",
"Piper: Oh, that was you. I thought I felt something.",
"Phoebe: Maybe it'll work on Billie?",
"Paige: How? We don't even have enough power to cast a spell.",
"Piper: No. But maybe we have enough to get through to the spirit board. Do you think Grams made a replica of that?",

"Billie: Well, it spelled out 'dollhouse'. And I don't think that was from Christy, but you guys have a dollhouse, right?",
"'Phoebe': Actually, we got rid of it.",
"'Paige': Keep stirring.",
"Billie: But I thought I saw Wyatt playing with it a few days ago?",
"'Piper': We'll look for it later. We have a demon to vanquish.",

"('Phoebe' sighs.)",

"Slave King: How dare you escape me. And how dare you return! Come closer. (They don't move.) Come closer. (The guard pushes Demon3 closer.) You would've been wise to have taken your own lives on the outside. Rather than suffer through how I'm going to take them for you. Where's the other? Savard?",
"Demon1: He's waiting for us to bring him the good news.",
"Slave King: The good news? What good news?",
"Demon3: Of your demise.",
"(Slave King laughs.)",
"Slave King: Kill them.",

"[Cut to dollhouse, living room.]",
"Phoebe: Okay, if Billie doesn't show up in like two seconds, we're doll parts.",
"Piper: Hang on. There might be another way.",
"Paige: Talk fast.",
"Piper: Well, our individual powers are diminished, put not the Power of Three. Obviously they're using it.",
"Phoebe: Talk faster.",
"Piper: Well, if we can get them to stop channeling us, and use their demonic powers, then we can get the Power of Three back.",
"Phoebe: Theoretically speaking, right?",
"Piper: All we got are theories.",
"Demon3: This is for Savard.",
"Piper: Hey, hey. Hang on a second. What are you - you're gonna kill me with my own power? What are you, kidding me? How insulting let alone boring.",
"Phoebe: Yeah. Show some pride. You know what I mean? Be original.",
"Paige: You guys must suffer from really low self esteem near as I can figure.",
"Phoebe: Which is clearly why they had to steal our powers.",
"Piper: That must be very humiliating.",
"(The demons throw fireballs at them, but Paige puts her hand on the wall of the house and orbs the house out.)",
"[Cut to Manor, attic; the dollhouse orbs in. Billie walks over.]",
"Billie: Oh, thank god. I knew you guys wouldn't really be that mean to me. I mean, I know I can be a huge pain in the ass sometimes...",
"Piper: Billie, zip it! Go get the Book.",
"Billie: Oh, the Book. Right.",
"(She goes to the Book of Shadows.)",
"Phoebe: Find the power switching spell.",
"Piper: Switch, uh, switch bodies with powers. And then, you know. Improvise.",
"Billie: Okay. Who are we switching?",
"Piper: Them.",
"(The demons shimmer into the attic.)",
"Demon1: I thought we booted your ass out.",
"Billie: Uh, you did. But they didn't. (She motions to the dollhouse.) \"What's theirs is yours, what's yours is theirs.\" (Demon1 throws a fireball at her. She ducks.) \"I offer up this gift to share. Switch the bodies through the air.\"",
"(The sisters and the demons switch places; the demons now trapped in the dollhouse.)",
"Paige: You wanted to live like us, now I guess you get to die like us.",
"Demon3/Demon1/Patra: Oh, crap.",
"(Piper blows up the dollhouse.)",
"Billie: Well, they say imitation is the greatest from of flattery. (The sisters say nothing.) Well, they do.",
"(Phoebe smiles. Piper shakes her head. Paige rolls her eyes.)",
"[Scene: Rooftop. Paige and Henry sit at a candle-lit dinner of Chinese take out and wine.]",
"Paige: Hey, Henry.",
"Henry: Yeah?",
"Paige: Guess what?",
"Henry: What?",
"Paige: I like you.",
"Henry: Hey, Paige. Guess what?",
"Paige: What?",
"Henry: I like you, too. (They kiss.) I'll tell you, this day is getting a lot better than how it started.",
"Paige: Yeah. So far.",
"Henry: Why do you keep saying things like that? What do you have to tell me? Come on. It can't be that bad. Rooftop picnic. Starlight, candles. Wait, wait. I want to guess first actually. Hold on. Let me see. You used to be a man before? No. That's not true, right? Good. Come on. Tell me. What is it?",
"Paige: I don't think you're gonna like it.",
"Henry: You try me.",
"Paige: Have you ever wondered about the kind of strange things that happen with me and kind of since you've known me? Like why was I there trying to help your parolee? How did I find that baby's father so quickly?",
"Henry: How'd you get that guy to tell the truth?",
"Paige: How did you get shot and miraculously survive? And even little things like today. Finding your keys and your wallet. And then there's that winning of the $10,000 thing which you should probably give to charity. Because that, you know...",
"Henry: Okay. Okay. What are you trying to tell me, Paige?",
"Paige: Do you believe in magic?",
"Henry: I don't know. I don't think about it much. Why?",
"Paige: I think it's time that you did. Lights. (Orb lights appear above their heads.) I'm doing that now.",
"Henry: How?",
"Paige: I'm a witch. I have powers. Uh, I can make these kind of things happen. I'm not the kind of witch that rides around on broomsticks, or the hat or with the little black cat. That sort of thing. Um, I use my powers for good. I help people. And this is not going well, and I can see how completely scared off you are from me. Door's right there, and it won't hurt my feelings.",

"Piper: Hang on. There's just one more.",
"Phoebe: Really? I thought I grabbed all the boxes.",
"Piper: Well, this one I kind of put together for you just in case you need more herbs or potion vials, or crystals, or you know Cliff notes of the Book of Shadows, just in case.",
"Phoebe: Just in case a demon attacks.",
"Piper: Yeah. Don't laugh. It's gonna happen. And you know it. And when it does, you're gonna be alone.",
"Phoebe: Piper, I'm just moving into town, you know. It's not that far away.",
"Piper: Yeah. But it's not down the hall.",
"Phoebe: That's true. You know, if you don't want to go...",
"Piper: No. You've got to go. There's some blonde chick asleep in your room. I'm just a little sad. But I can be a little sad.",
"Phoebe: Absolutely. I'm sad, too.",
"Piper: It's just...you know, it's been a lot of change.",
"Phoebe: You know this will always be my home, right? And that will never change. This is family.",
"Piper: Yeah. Okay. You've got to go.",
"(Piper gives her the box. Phoebe kisses her cheek.)",
"Phoebe: See you.",
"(Piper nods. Phoebe leaves as her sister watches her go. The front door opens and closes.)"

"Billie: Ah, it's not really going. I had a little bit of a brain freeze, so I just wanted to let it go for a bit. Do you want to go to the movies?",

"Phoebe: He's probably just overwhelmed, you know?",
"Paige: Yeah, I'm sure he is. He keeps asking me all these questions, and they're valid questions, you know. Why aren't we using our powers to bring about world peace or end poverty or famine? He's not getting that it's not that easy.",
"Phoebe: Well, just be patient with him. And maybe try not to explain it from a magical perspective. You know, try to use terms that he understands. You know, keep it simple.",

"Novak: You're supposed to be following the zodiac before he hands it off. Not some lowly servant. 'Demon1:' But that servant is responsible for where the hand-off occurs.

"Billie: Yeah, but I'm kind of tired of my obsession, so I thought I would join in on yours. You know, misery loves company.",
"Piper: Mm-hmm. So, what are you doing?",

"Billie: Well, I had good teachers. All right. Let's see if you missed any signs. Stand back. (They do. She tosses in something. A cloud of white smoke poofs from it, as there is a second explosion. There's a burning Chinese character inside.) Bingo.",
"[Scene: Dry cleaners. The Chinese symbol is on the window. Piper and Billie look at it.]",

"Piper: That's why we're here.",
"Chinese Man: I see. So, you have an interest in signs?",
"Piper: Yeah. Gemini, Libra, Leo.",

"Billie: Excuse me?",
"Piper: Chinese zodiac, right?",
"Chinese Man: You've answered my call, and not a moment too soon.",
"Piper: Uh, no. I think we've got our wires crossed somehow, 'cuz, I'm just looking to save a husband.",
"Chinese Man: And now you're here to help save us all. (There's a noise from the back.) But you must hurry now or all will be lost.",
"(He goes into the back. Piper and Billie follow him. He stops as another explosion is heard. He then steps into a wall hanging and vanishes.)",
"Billie: Whoa, what was that?",
"Piper: Forget it, Jenkins. It's Chinatown.",
"(She takes Billie's hand and they step into the wall hanging. They follow the Chinese Man and find one of the Zodiacs being attacked by a group of demons. He's hit by an energy ball and falls into the pond. Novak heads for the staff the Zodiac was holding.)",

"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Sacred Garden.]",
"Piper: Look, really, Mister, no offense, but I'm just trying to save my husband. Not some stick.",
"(Chinese Man stands up.)",
"Chinese Man: This is not a stick. It is Buddha's mystical staff. And it must be passed to the next zodiac at the New Year or the eternal cycle ends.",
"Billie: All right. Before we hit exposition city here, what's with the laundry on the outside and then, this crazy green place on the inside?",
"Chinese Man: This sacred garden has served for centuries as the sanctuary for the ceremonial passing of the staff. It has been my family's honor to find a place for its existence each and every year.",
"Piper: So, it's just my luck that a demon tries to take it this year?",
"Chinese Man: Not just this year. He's been trying for many years, when it is vulnerable as it is now. That is why I sent out the call for help. And that is why you came.",
"Piper: No, really, seriously, I was looking for something totally different.",
"(He smiles.)",
"Chinese Man: You must be a buffalo.",
"Piper: Excuse me?",
"Billie: I think he's talking about your sign.",
"Piper: Hang on a second. She gets a tiger and I'm some stinking buffalo?",

"Chinese Man: If you know the zodiacs, you know we do not choose who we are born to. Each influences us with different gifts to keep the eternal cycle ends. And it won't be the zodiacs who influence, but evil instead. Not a world your husband would want to be saved for, I trust.",
"Piper: All right. What would you like us to do?",
"Chinese Man: Protect the staff until it is passed to the new zodiac. But you must be of clear mind so as not to unduly influence those around you with your personality.",
"(Billie scoffs.)",
"Billie: I'm sorry. I'm just imagining a lot of obsessing.",
"Piper: Uh-huh. That's cute. That's very cute.",
"Chinese Man: You must leave before they come back. Use all of your power to protect it if you have to.",
"Billie: Maybe you should call Paige and Phoebe.",
"Piper: You better believe it. Do you know anything about this demon?",
"Chinese Man: No, but I have a record of his past attacks.",
"Billie: Well, I could look at them, maybe figure something out.",
"Chinese Man: Perhaps you'll find out something about yourself along the way, Billie.",
"Billie: How do you know my name?",
"Chinese Man: This is a magical place, one where questions will have answers. If you're open to it. You'll see.",
"(Piper chuckles.)",
"Piper: So, when does this ceremony begin?",
"Chinese Man: At midnight.",
"(The hourglass has the falling sand.)",
"Piper: Naturally.",
"(She grabs the staff.)",
"[Scene: Magic School, Great Hall.]",
"'Demon1:' The staff is lost. We have no choice but to wait another year.",
"Novak: We're not waiting. Why should we?",
"Demon1: Because the witches...",
"Novak: Merely delayed the inevitable. After all, progress has been made. Unprecedented progress. A zodiac is dead which means they as a whole are weakened. And the staff is out of sacred hands for the first time ever.",
"Demon1: Still, now they know we're coming.",
"Novak: They always know we're coming. You underestimated Lo Pan. Do not...underestimate me.",
"Demon1: With all due respect, the servant won't keep the staff in the garden now. Not until the hand-off. We'll never find it in time.",
"Novak: We won't have to. The zodiacs will find it for us. We'll let it be know what's happened - what Lo Pan's done. They'll come out of hiding to get their precious staff back. Trust me.",
"Demon1: So, then all we have to do is track them.",
"Novak: See? Progress.",
"[Scene: Manor, conservatory. Paige leads Henry in.]",
"Paige: All right, Henry, I have to say I've been doing some thing.",
"'Henry:' About what?",
"Paige: Well, here's the deal. I have a plan...you know, for us.",
"Henry: I thought we were doing pretty well.",
"Paige: Yeah, definitely, except for, you know, when the M word kind of comes up. Things start getting a little bit, uh...",
"Henry: Weird.",
"Paige: Yeah, exactly. But everything else is obviously going well. You're even finishing my sentences. But, um... (She sees the kids toys.) Uh! Okay, step into my office. Have a seat.",
"(He points down.)",
"Henry: On this?",
"Paige: Yes. You can fit. I'm pretty sure.",
"(She sits in the child's chair next to him in front of an easel. She takes a pen and flips a sheet of paper.)",
"Henry: Barely.",
"Paige: Okay... stay with me here. You deal with criminals. (She draws a stick figure with a gun.) Okay? Drug dealers, burglars, murderers. (She draws another figure using magic.) Me? I deal with demons. Kazis, creepers, gremlocks. I could go on and on. But the point is, we're very similar. Criminals bad, demons bad.",
"Henry: Is it snack time yet, Miss Matthews?",
"Paige: Henry.",
"Henry: Look, I know what you're trying to say, okay? But, what I don't understand is if you have all these powers, why you don't use them.",
"Paige: I do use them.",
"Henry: No, no, no. Not on demons. I'm talking about hunger. I'm talking about the poor, the homeless. My criminals, my bad guys.",
"Paige: It's really, actually, not that simple.",
"Henry: But why? Who says? I'm not trying to make you feel bad, okay? I don't understand. If there's magic in the world, why you don't use it to just save the world. (His phone rings. He checks the idea and Paige rolls her eyes.) (to Paige) This is the second one. I have to take this. We'll figure it out later.",
"(Henry stands up, kisses her on the forehead and steps away.)",
"Paige: Yeah...that went swimmingly.",
"Henry: Yeah. This is Henry...",
"(Piper enters with the staff.)",
"Piper: Paige, great, you're here. (She sees the drawing. The staff glows behind her back, infusing Paige.) What's this?",
"(Paige stands.)",
"Paige: The answer to my problems.",
"Piper: Well, we have bigger problems, trust me. Buddha's staff-the demons want it, we need the Book.",
"Paige: Sorry. No can do. I have to help Henry.",
"Piper: No, no, no. Hang on a second. Whoa. I thought the words Buddha and demons would give you the hint that I need your help.",
"(Paige shakes her head.)",
"Paige: No, not really. Bye. I have to help Henry now.",
"(She leaves.)",
"Piper: But-but-what... (To staff) What are you looking at?",
"(The front door closes.)",
"[Cut to Sacred Garden. Billie goes through papers. Chinese Man comes over with a tea tray.]",
"Chinese Man: Any luck?",
"Billie: Are you kidding? I can't make sense of any of this stuff.",
"Chinese Man: That's because you're using your eyes and not your powers.",
"Billie: How can telekinesis help me?",
"Chinese Man: I'm talking about your other power. The one you have yet to master. The one you need to master if you truly want answers.",
"Billie: Answers? You mean to help me find the demon?",
"Chinese Man: And to finding your sister. I told you this place was magical.",
"Billie: Yeah, and a little creepy.",
"(He chuckles and sets the tray down.)",
"Chinese Man: We are all led to where we need to be, Billie. And so you have been led here. But before you can help the eternal cycle, you must help yourself.",
"Billie: Okay, so what can you tell me about Christy?",
"Chinese Man: I can tell you nothing. Only Christy can tell you about Christy. And only you have the power to seek those answers.",
"Billie: But I can't even control my projection power. I haven't even used it since I knew I had it. The sisters think it's way too dangerous.",
"Chinese Man: When used out of control, yes.",
"Billie: So? Can you help me control it?",
"(Chinese Man nods and holds out his hand.)",
"Chinese Man: Come. (He helps her up and takes her to a dying tree.) That pejing tree is a simple living creatures within the world surrounding us. And like all things, it follows a cycle. And it's nearing its end. But you have the power to see its cycle at the beginning again. To project what you will upon it. Focus on the tree, Billie. Reach within yourself, to your power. (Billie closes her eyes.) See what you want to see. (The tree becomes young again. He smiles.) Look.",
"(Billie opens her eyes and gasps.)",
"Billie: I did that?",
"Chinese Man: And you can do more than that. You can see your sister.",
"[Scene: Manor. Piper comes downstairs and looks around.]",
"Piper: Hello?",
"(She starts to go back upstairs.)",
"Voice: The staff belongs to us.",
"(Dog, a Zodiac, stands at the foot of the stairs.)",
"Piper: And you would be?",
"Dog: We are the zodiacs.",
"Piper: We?",
"(The other four Zodiacs appear. Piper clears her throat. Dog holds out his hands.)",
"Dog: The staff... for your life.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Manor, stairs; continue from before.]",
"Dog: The staff.",
"Piper: Okay, look. There's nothing I'd love better than to get rid of this thing, but...",
"(Dog launches himself at her in wind and smoke. Piper steps back and sings the staff like a bat, knocking him to the floor.)",
"Dog: Kill her!",
"(Piper tries blasting them, but they have a force shield up. She stops.)",
"Piper: Yeah, that's ugly. Okay, hang on. (Dog stands up and force shield disintegrates.) There's no need to fight. How would you guys like your staff in pieces? One for each of you?",
"Dog: Maybe we should just...talk about this.",
"Piper: Talk fast.",
"[Scene: Sacred Garden. Billie sits under the pavilion and crosses her legs.]",
"Billie: Can't I just sit in a chair?",
"Chinese Man: Stop resisting. Just relax. Now, what happened the first time you tried to use this new power of yours?",
"Billie: Hmm. Well, I turned my parents into assassins.",
"Chinese Man: Oh... I see. All the more reason to focus completely on what you wish to project this time, what you truly wish to find.",
"Billie: After fifteen years, I want to find my big sister.",
"Chinese Man: That's practical, not emotional. (He moves closer.) That's not how your power works. Think, deep down... what is it that you truly want?",
"Billie: I want to see Christy. I want to know what she's been going through all these years.",
"Chinese Man: All right. Then concentrate on that. (Billie closes her eyes.) Allow the world that surrounds you to disappear. Allow time to be nothing but an idea.",
"Billie: Don't bend the spoon - Imagine there is no spoon? (He clears his throat.) Sorry.",
"Chinese Man: Think of only Christy...of seeing her again...of where she went... (Billie rubs her head.) Of understanding. (She puts her hands down and concentrates.) Let your power take you where you need to go. Now.",
"(Billie appears in a cave cell. There's a door and a small bared window behind her. She opens her eyes and stands up.)",
"Billie: Lo Pan? Where are you? What is going on? (She goes over to the door and sees the signs and characters on it.) Lo Pan! (She hears something behind her.) Who's there? (A figure steps out. It's a dirty girl dressed in rags.) Christy, is that you? (The girl cringes and steps back.) It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you. (The girl steps forward.) Unbelievable.",
"[Cut to Manor, conservatory.]",
"Dog: We do not wish to harm you. We thought you had stolen the sacred staff.",
"Piper: Don't you guys talk to each other? Lo Pan? The guy that gave me this to protect.",
"Dog: Lo Pan is just a servant. He only speaks when spoken to.",
"Piper: Well, maybe you should speak to him more often, considering he seems to know more about this than you do.",
"Dog: He should have hidden the sacred garden better from the demons.",
"Piper: Maybe so. But if he hadn't anticipated the attack, I wouldn't be holding this right now, would I?",
"Dog: Point taken.",
"Piper: So, I take it you guys heard about Chicken.",
"(Dog closes his eyes.)",
"Dog: Rooster. And, yes, we sensed it. That's why we were so afraid the staff had been stolen. The moment it was out of his hands we began tracking it... to you.",
"Piper: Okay. Well, would you like it back?",
"(She hands him the staff. He steps back.)",
"Dog: No. It is forbidden until the new year. I am Dog. Next in line for the staff.",
"Piper: Okay, so, can't one of your other zodiacs hold it for you until then?",
"Dog: No. It would upset the eternal cycle, change the balance of all things.",
"Piper: Great. What would you like me to do with it?",
"(Novak enters behind Piper with his demons.)",
"Novak: I'll take it.",
"Piper: Oh, no... you again.",
"Novak: Yep. Me again.",
"(He throws a fireball at them as Dog grabs Piper and turns her. He turns into the wind and vanishes with her. Fireballs are hurled at the other Zodiacs force shield. Dog and Piper appear on the porch as the fight continues inside.)",
"Dog: Go! You must protect the staff!",
"Piper: What about my house?",
"Dog: Only the staff matters. Go!",
"(He goes back inside.)",
"Piper: Paige!",
"[Cut to Golden Gate Bridge. Paige orbs on the top tower with Henry.]",
"Paige: Well, last stop on our orbing world tour, Golden Gate Bridge. Bet, you've never see it from this angle, huh?",
"Henry: Are you nuts? W-w-what are we doing here now?",
"Paige: Well, you have some questions, I'm trying to facilitate some answers.",
"Henry: How?",
"Paige: I told you about the Elders, right? And if I call them down here, they can maybe explain this whole thing a little more in-depth.",
"Henry: Just slow down a little, okay, because my head's still spinning.",
"Paige: I'm just trying to help you understand the whole shebang that goes along with me, right? And I just figured what better way than orb you all around the world, to really see things first-hand.",
"Henry: I don't know what's gotten into you.",
"(Paige's phone rings.)",
"Paige: Oh, hold that thought. (to phone) Hello?",
"(She walks to the tower and leans against it.)",
"Piper: Paige, where are you? I need help.",
"Paige: (to phone) At the moment, Henry needs my help more.",
"[Intercut to Piper. She is driving and on the phone.]",
"Piper: (to phone) Would you forget about Henry for one second. This is bad.",
"Paige: Really? How bad?",
"Piper: Things stop spinning bad. If the demon gets the staff, the eternal cycle ends, something, and the world turns evil. I don't know.",
"(The staff hovers behind her. Piper tries to elbow it down.)",
"Paige: Hmm...world turning evil or my relationship ending? (Henry lingers close to the edge.) That's kind of a tough choice.",
"Piper: Tough choice? What the hell is the matter with you?",
"Paige: Well, nothing is the matter with me. I'm just really focused on Henry.",
"(Henry steps closer to the edge.)",
"Piper: When did you become so obsessive? That is my deal.",
"Paige: I guess it is. But maybe I learned from the best, big sis. (A wind blows and Henry falls off, screaming.) Oh, my goodness! Henry just fell off the bridge. I'm going to have to call you back.",
"(She closes the phone and orbs away.)",
"Piper: (to phone) No, no, no, I need you to meet... (She closes her phone. The staff hovers in the backseat.) Great...that's just...that's great. Great. Don't make me come back there!",
"(The staff's head turns and grins.)",
"[Cut to Paige. She orbs in with Henry, who's shivering.]",
"Paige: You okay? (Henry nods.) Where were we? Such a great view. You should really try enjoying it more.",
"(Henry nods.)",
"[Scene: Phoebe's Loft, living room. Phoebe is having a party. She grabs a bottle and refills some glasses.]",
"Phoebe: Anyone need a refill? (She fills guests' glasses.) You okay? Enjoying yourselves? Okay, good. (A couple of girls are giggling.) Ooh, I hear laughter. That's good. Laughter means happy people. (She refills their glasses.) There you go. (She puts the bottle down and backs away -bumping into a cute guy.) I'm so sorry.",
"Cute Guy: That's all right. It's really nice of you to put this together for everyone.",
"Phoebe: Yeah. I just wanted to meet all my neighbors. I'm so happy to be living here, you have no idea. Really. It's like I'm free.",
"Cute Guy: I can tell. I'm glad you're living here, too.",
"Phoebe: Oh. (The doorbell rings.) Oh, excuse me. (She opens the door. Piper is there.) Hi, Piper. (Piper smiles.) I wasn't expecting you here.",
"(Piper pulls Phoebe into the hallway.)",
"Piper: (to the party) Hey, how you all doing? Be right back. (Behind her back, the staff glows and infuses Phoebe.) Listen, we have a problem, one you'll help with whether you like it or not.",
"Phoebe: Wait, no. Piper, I can't. I have to focus on my party.",
"Piper: Are you kidding me? Listen. I'm tired of babysitting this thing by myself. It is your turn.",
"(Piper holds it out. Phoebe rolls her eyes and takes it. The staff glows and infuses Piper.)",
"Phoebe: What just happened?",
"Piper: What am I doing here? I should be at Marine World with my kids.",

"(Paige groans.)",
"Paige: Oh, yeah...",
"(Phoebe helps her up.)",
"Phoebe: Honey, are you okay? What happened?",
"Paige: Well, I don't understand. Why don't the demons just move in here since they're here all the time, anyway?",
"Phoebe: Where's Piper?",
"Paige: I don't know. I came here looking for her, and I got knocked down.",
"Phoebe: Did you see what they look like?",
"Paige: Your average tackily dressed demons. There were some other guys with red gown robie things.",
"Phoebe: They must be after the staff.",
"Paige: What staff?",
"Phoebe: No, don't touch it! It's covered for a reason. It has a crazy effect on people.",
"Paige: Maybe that's what was making me so crazy and obsessed with Henry.",
"Phoebe: Well, yeah, but the question is, why aren't you now?",
"(Paige shrugs.)",
"Paige: Maybe it wore off. Maybe those guys knocked it out of me.",
"(Phoebe sighs.)",
"Phoebe: We have to find Piper.",
"(She picks up the phone and begins calling.)",
"[Scene: Underworld, cave cell. Billie and Christy sit on the floor.]",
"Christy: I hear them outside, whispering, but I don't understand what they're saying. I never understand what they're saying. Then they stop for awhile. Sometimes for a long time. But then they start again. I don't know what they want.",
"Billie: It's okay. It's okay. Look, I'm here now, okay?",
"Christy: I still don't understand how.",
"Billie: Yeah, that makes two of us. All I know is I'm supposed to be with you now and try to figure this out so I can get you out of here.",
"(Christy shakes her head.)",
"Christy: No, they won't let us. They won't let us.",
"Billie: Have you tried using your powers?",
"Christy: Powers? What do you mean?",
"Billie: You know, your powers...magic. (Christy shakes her head.) Christy, you're a witch, just like me. You must have some powers. That-wait...Powers. That must be what they want from you. (She finds an amulet on the floor behind Christy.) Where did you get this?",
"Christy: They gave it to me. They all wear it.",
"Billie: The symbol from your diary.",
"(Whispering comes from outside. They get to their feet. Christy clutches Billie's arm.)",
"Christy: It's them! I want to go home! Please take me home.",

"(Christy lets go and backs up.)",
"Christy: Hurry, Billie.",
"Billie: Lo Pan! Get us out of here now! (The cave changes back into a garden.) Lo Pan?",
"Lo Pan: I'm right here.",
"Billie: Well, where is she? Where's Christy? She-she was right there.",
"Lo Pan: Where?",
"Billie: Locked away alone in a cave! Why couldn't I save her?",
"Lo Pan: You didn't go there to save her. You went there to see her, to understand.",
"Billie: But I don't understand. I don't understand at all. She was a kid, barely older than when she was taken.",
"Lo Pan: She was vulnerable and open to you. That's why your power took you to that time. Before she changed. Surely you received something from that journey, did you not?",
"Billie: Well, they're after her powers, powers she doesn't even know she has yet.",
"Lo Pan: You can't save her from her past. No one can. But perhaps you can save her now, after you help save us.",
"[Scene: Street. Piper is on the side, fixing her tire. She's on the phone.]",
"Piper: (to phone) No, sweetie, mommy's okay, she just got a flat tire. I'll be there as soon as I can. (Novak appears.) No, no, no, no-wait for me. I want to see the penguins with you. Really, okay. I'll be there in thirty minutes.",
"Novak: I doubt that.",
"(Piper hangs up.)",
"[Scene: Manor, conservatory. Paige walks in as Phoebe hangs up.]",
"Phoebe: Okay, dad said she just called.",
"Paige: So she's all right.",
"Phoebe: Not necessarily. The phone went dead.",
"Paige: Maybe it's just a bad reception?",
"Phoebe: I think we should try the \"to call a lost witch\" spell.",
"Paige: It won't work unless she's actually lost. She could be just spending time with the boys, which would be a good thing, right?",
"Phoebe: Until the world turns evil.",
"Novak: Which you're about to help me with. (He comes in with Piper and the staff. He pushes her to her sisters, then uncovers the staff and infuses his evil into them.) Now, let's go and do something you'll regret later.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Manor, attic, conservatory. Continue from before.]",
"Novak: Well, this just might be worth all those years of waiting. The Charmed Ones...under my rule. Imagine the possibilities. Maybe I'll keep you around for awhile, after you complete the task at hand.",
"Phoebe: Kill Dog?",
"Novak: No, no, no-I don't want to destroy one zodiac. I want to destroy them all, so they can never take this away from me again.",
"Paige: What do you want us to do?",
"Novak: Ah, eager to please. I like that. You're going to kill Lo Pan.",
"Piper: Lo Pan? The servant?",
"Novak: He's much more than just that. Though the zodiacs all but dismiss him, he's more important than they give him credit for. In fact, he's the key to continuing the eternal cycle. He protects the sacred garden. Without it, they're nothing.",
"Phoebe: Then what?",
"Novak: Then...the year of evil beings.",
"[Scene: Sacred Garden. The sisters enter.]",
"Phoebe: Where is he?",
"Piper: He should be here.",
"(Billie and Lo Pan step out from behind the rocks.)",
"Billie: Hey, what are you guys doing here?",
"Piper: Looking for him.",
"Billie: Lo Pan? Why? The demons are coming. We have to... Hey, where's the staff? (The sisters get closer.) What are you guys doing?",
"Paige: Making our new year's resolutions.",
"(Lo Pan pushes Billie down as Piper tries to blow them up.)",
"Lo Pan: Get down!",
"(The banner sign blows up. Billie and Lo Pan cover behind a rock.)",
"Phoebe: You missed.",
"Lo Pan: Evil influences them. That means the demon has the staff.",
"Billie: Oh, that's just great. What do we do?",
"Lo Pan: We do nothing. You learned to control your power for this moment.",
"Billie: Are you crazy? I'm not going up against them!",
"Lo Pan: You have to if you want to save your sister. Focus. Project what you wish.",
"(Billie stands up.)",
"Piper: Billie, we don't want to hurt you.",
"Paige: Sure we do. Boulder!",
"(She orbs a rock to Billie, but she sends it back to Paige, missing her.)",
"Phoebe: Kill her.",
"(Billie puts her fingers to her head. There's a glow around the sisters' heads.)",
"Piper: What just happened? What are we doing here?",
"Billie: Oh, no big deal. You guys were just trying to kill me, but I changed your minds.",
"(She and Piper smile.)",
"[Cut to Magic School, Great Hall. Demon1 paces. Novak fingers the head of the staff.]",
"Demon1: I don't like it. We should've killed Lo Pan ourselves.",
"Novak: Too many years of failed attempts have turned you cynical, my friend. You've got to learn to think more positively now that evil's finally taken over the world. Sad, really. Now what do we do?",
"(The staff orbs out. The sisters and Billie enter as the staff orbs into Paige's cloth she's holding.)",
"Paige: Well, I wish I had a pithy retort, but you're really not worth it.",
"Demon1: You were saying?",
"Phoebe: Now. (Paige lifts the staff and they take hold. Billie closes her eyes. The staff glows. The demons are vanquished. They let go of the staff.) (to Paige) Quick, cover it up.",
"(Paige covers it with Piper.)",
"Piper: (to Billie) Uh, do me a favor...and be careful what you wish for, especially around the boys.",
"Billie: Uh, yeah, well, I haven't exactly mastered it anyway, so...",
"Paige: I think that would be her point.",
"Piper: Well, it's almost midnight, so we should get this thing back before it's too late.",
"Paige: Ooh. I really can't. I've got to go apologize to my boyfriend.",
"(She leaves. Phoebe follows.)",
"Phoebe: I have to explain to the neighbors.",
"Billie: Yeah. And I have a sister to scry for.",
"(She shows them the amulet and leaves. Piper smiles and shakes her head.)",
"[Scene: Sacred Garden. Piper enters. Lo Pan is dressed in red robes. He sees Piper and smiles.]",
"Piper: What's going on? What happened to you?",
"Lo Pan: It seems that I have been... elevated. I am now Rooster. The staff, if you please.",
"Piper: Oh, gladly.",
"(She uncovers the staff and hands it to him.)",
"Lo Pan: You received the sign for a reason. And not just to help perpetuate the cycle, but to help the both of us as well.",
"Piper: How exactly was I help?",
"Lo Pan: You've shown that patience can be rewarded for me and for you. Leo will come back only if he's meant to. And only when it's time. Not before.",
"(He and Piper bow. He takes the staff back to the other zodiacs.)",
"[Scene: Golden Gate Bridge. Paige orbs Henry to the top.]",
"Paige: Funny, I figured after last time, this would be the last place you'd want to come back to.",
"Henry: Yeah, I did have to think about it. I mean, not about us, but...The magic.",
"Paige: And?",
"(Henry sighs.)",
"Henry: And after everything that you did today, I mean, not just this, but the whole eternal cycle deal, I get it.",
"Paige: This isn't, um, freaking you out? You're not mad at me?",
"Henry: I was never mad at you. Or freaked out. I was - Well, I got a little freaked out when those wild pygmies were chasing us back then.",
"Paige: That was an accidental orb.",
"Henry: That's okay. It helped me see the bigger picture. You, uh, use your powers to make the world a better place. How could I have a problem with that? I think it's amazing.",
"Paige: You do?",
"Henry: And I think I'm falling in love with you.",
"Paige: I think I'm falling in love with you, too.",
"(He takes her hand.)",
"[Scene: Underworld, cave cell. The door opens and Billie walks in.]",
"Billie: Christy?"

"Billie: They're on the counter. Um, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.",

I've gotta check on Chris, and then I gotta get to the store, and then I gotta go and pick up Wyatt early and make cookies for his Valentine's Day party, and then I gotta take these to p-3.

"Billie: Yeah, but we don't know anything. I mean, we don't know where they've been keeping her this whole time.",
"Phoebe: Which is why we have to find out what she knows, get her to open up.",
"Billie: I just think it's too much for her right now.",
"Phoebe: Look, if they held her captive for 15 years, she must know something, at least be able to I.D. them.",
"Billie: I just don't want to pressure her right now.",
"Paige: Well, sweetheart, she's already under pressure because she knows that they're coming.",
"Phoebe: Do you think they're contacting her?",
"Paige: Well, maybe. Then again, maybe she's got some sort of telepathic thing going on. It would actually kind of figure that she'd have powers, right? I mean, maybe that could be why they wanted her in the first place.",
"Phoebe: And why they want her back. You have to talk to her.",
"Billie: I just don't think she's ready for that.",
"Phoebe: Look, if it's coming from you, she'll be ok. She's your sister. There's no stronger bond than that. Trust us.",
"Billie: Uhh, all right. I'll try.",
"Phoebe: Ok, I'm gonna whip up a quick potion, and you go to the book and make a list of all the telepathic demons, ok?",
"Paige: Oh, you're in a hurry.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, well, I got a new condo to enjoy.",
"Paige: Lamp!",
"Simon: [English accent] Excuse me, but I don't think you recognize my entrance. Fear not, ladies. I'm one of the good guys. The best, actually, so... oh, yes, the legendary manor where generations of Halliwells have blossomed into witches.",
"Paige: Who are you, and what do you want?",
"Simon: Of course. Ladies, I am Simon Theotus Reginald Marx, and I'm here to take Paige Matthews as my wife.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Scather guard: Aah! [Groans]",
"Dreylock: We've been at this for 2 days. If you want your suffering to end, you will tell me who took the witch.",
"Scather guard: I don't know. I swear!",
"Dreylock: Come on. You were in on it. Why else would you leave your post?",
"Scather guard: I told you. I was called away. Please, you've gotta believe me!",
"Dreylock: Do you think they'll believe you? they, who could decimate our entire clan on a whim? They chose us to watch over her, to break her down, and in return, we'd share in the ultimate power for which she is the key. If we don't get her back, we're all dead.",
"Scather demon: I've questioned all of the scathers. No one called him away.",
"Dreylock: Last chance. Who are you working for?",
"Scather demon: He may not even know. He may have been tricked perhaps, telepathically. The witch has answered to unseen voices before. We've seen it.",
"Dreylock: If so, he's a liability. He's been breached.",
"Scather guard: Aah!",
"Dreylock: Gather the witch's things. We'll find her another way.",
"Scather demon: We cannot use dark magic. They may sense it. They'll know something has gone wrong. We cannot risk it.",
"Dreylock: We have to risk it! We must find out who took the witch if we are to survive.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Simon: I know all about The Charmed Ones. I, uh...I grew up on the stories of the Warren line of witches. Grams and her many, many lovers, and, or course, Patricia's trysts with her whitelighter. Goodness, you're a randy bunch.",
"Paige: Is there some sort of magical Enquirer I've not heard of?",
"Phoebe: Wow! Our families worked together during the Salem witch trials? That is so cool. Well, you know, I'm just sayin', he checks out.",
"Simon: Well, you know, I am a descendant of the mighty Marx, which is a very powerful, very noble line of witches. To be honest with you, I'm a little surprised you don't know who I am, but, oh, my goodness, you're fetching.",
"Phoebe: Oh, that's so sweet. [Laughing]",
"Simon: But you're not half whitelighter, which is a requisite for my future mate, so sorry to disappoint you. But you, on the other hand--",
"Paige: Uh, did you just say \"future mate\"?",
"Simon: No, no, that was-- that was-- it came out wrong. Apologies.",
"Paige: Ok, here's the deal. We're actually super, super busy it'd be fabulous if you could just orb yourself off now.",
"Simon: Well, I'll ignore that. But, Paige, I'm not leaving without you. After all, we are destined to be wed.",
"Phoebe: Ok, who says?",
"Simon: Well, only 40 of the most powerful oracles and soothsayers from around the globe, plus a wizard or two, so...",
"Phoebe: Oh.",
"Simon: When you think about it, Paige, it makes all the sense in the world, bringing our 2 magical lines together. We would be the ultimate power couple.",
"Paige: Ok, uh, we're not gonna be bringing our lines or bringing anything together for that matter, ok?",
"Simon: Why not?",
"Paige: Because I don't want to! And because I have a boyfriend.",
"Simon: A boyfriend? Hmm, I see. And who is he? A witch? A whitelighter?",
"Paige: His name is Henry, and he is a parole officer by trade and he is a mortal.",
"Simon: Ooh! An immortal no less. Very impressive.",
"Paige: No! Not immortal. A mortal, as in non-magical?",
"Simon: Oh. Well, what would you expect? That makes absolutely no sense to me at all. Having a...having a mortal around whilst you're fighting evil is, well, let's face it, irresponsible.",
"Paige: Ok, uh, you need to go now. Unless you want to stay and help us vanquish some demons.",
"Simon: Of course, ma'am. Having a powerful witch around like myself can only be an asset. Tell me, how does Harry fare in a magical battle?",
"Paige: Hen-ry! And he fares just fine in whatever he wants to fare in.",
"Simon: I'll be honest with you. I'm a little surprised you're not taking to this. You know, me? I mean, imagine, if you will, the evil we could vanquish as a couple.",
"Paige: We are not now, nor will we ever be, a couple!",
"Simon: Well, that did not go too well. Piper!",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Simon: May I be of some assistance? Bags.",
"Piper: Are you crazy? What if somebody saw that?",
"Simon: Well, what if somebody were to see you shopping, a witch of your standing? No, no. After all, there are people for things like that.",
"Piper: Heh. Who are you?",
"Simon: I am Simon Theotus Reginald Marx. Of the Marx line of witches? It's a very noble, very...never mind. Moving on. First of all, I'm here to state my case.",
"Piper: Great. Well, I don't have time for that 'cause I have to go pick up my son, so... again with the magic.",
"Simon: Piper, I'm here to appeal to you, you being the practical Charmed One. Now listen to me. It is my destiny to marry your sister Paige.",
"Piper: Oh, for god's sake.",
"Simon: 40 of the most powerful oracles and soothsayers from around the globe have predicted it, plus a wizard or two.",
"Piper: Good luck with that.",
"Simon: According to your sister, a demon could be attacking at this very moment. And I want you to know that I am fantastic at vanquishing demons.",
"Piper: Well, that's great, but we can handle our own demons, ok?",
"Simon: You'll see. It is my fate to be with Paige.",
"[Crash]",
"Piper: [Gasp] Oh, god. Oh, god. Oh, god! Oh, I'm so sorry. I wasn't even looking...",
"Greg: It's ok, don't worry about it.",
"Piper: Greg.",
"Greg: Piper.",
"Piper: Hi. Oh, my god.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Billie: Look, Christy, you're safe now. I promise I am going to keep you safe, but I need your help to do that. Do you know who they are? Who's coming? Do you hear them like voices? Yeah? That's good. That's really good. What'd they say? What did they want? You know, it's ok. You know, we can talk about it later. Don't worry. It's ok.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Paige: I mean, who's this guy think he is? He just shows up and announces that we're destined to be together?",
"Phoebe: Well, according to 40 oracles and a soothsayer, your future husband.",
"Paige: That is really not funny.",
"Phoebe: I'm sorry. How's the list coming?",
"Paige: Well, I have a dozen that have telepathic powers.",
"Phoebe: Well, hopefully, Billie can convince Christy to narrow it down for us a little bit.",
"[Doorbell rings]",
"Phoebe: Who's here?",
"Paige: Rats, I forgot. Henry and I have a lunch date.",
"Phoebe: Oh, you might want to reschedule in case a demon attacks.",
"Paige: Why, look at you. You sound like Sir Full of Himself.",
"Phoebe: [Laughs] Well, he might not be your Mr. Right, but he does have a point.",
"Henry: Paige, I don't want to run away from a fight, ok? Come on, I deal with violent, dangerous criminals every day.",
"Paige: But those violent, dangerous criminals do not throw fireballs at you.",
"Henry: W-Well, what about Piper's kids? I mean, they-they're here all the time.",
"Paige: They have powers to defend themselves.",
"Henry: They do?",
"Paige: Mm-hmm. So, please, just go. I will call you in a little bit.",
"Henry: Hold it, hold it, hold it. If I run away every time a demon attacks, I'm gonna be running away all the time, right?",
"Paige: Ok.",
"Piper: Ok, come on, baby. Oh, hi. Sorry. Oh, thanks. Go on. Wyatt's really gotta go.",
"Paige: Ok.",
"Piper: Uh, you could just put those on the dining room table. That's be great.",
"Henry: Sure.",
"Piper: Thanks. Sweetie, don't forget to wash your hands! I hear we have, uh, demons attacking?",
"Paige: How did you hear that?",
"Piper: You know, your friend Simon? British, very cocky?",
"Henry: Who's Simon?",
"Paige: Nobody!",
"Piper: Ok, I have 2 seconds for you to catch me up. Go.",
"Paige: Ok. Uh, Christy finally spoke. Unfortunately, she said something weird. Uh...\"They're coming\"?",
"Piper: Who's coming? When?",
"Paige: It's ok. Phoebe and I have got this under control. We didn't want to tell you because we know you've got a crazy day.",
"Piper: Crazier than you think. Guess who I just ran into, literally?",
"Paige: Who?",
"Piper: Greg.",
"Paige: Greg...?",
"Piper: Fireman Greg.",
"Paige: Ohh! He was the hot Greg.",
"Piper: Mm.",
"Paige: You gonna go out with him?",

"Billie: Christy, what is it? What's wrong? Christy, please, I want to help you.",
"Christy: I'm afraid.",

"Christy: You can't stop them.",
"Billie: Stop who? Christy, please.",
"Christy: You can't stop them from coming.",
"Billie: When? When are they coming?",
"Christy: Now.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Henry: So, how long does it usually take for demons to attack?",
"Piper: Well, it could be anytime really. You know, it depends.",
"Henry: On?",
"Piper: On timing, you know, usually the worse it is for us, the better it is for them, you know? That kind of thing. Mustard?",
"Henry: Uh, no, thanks.",
"Paige: You can still opt out if you want.",
"Henry: Not a chance.",
"Billie: Incoming!",
"Paige: What? What is it?",
"Christy: They're here.",
"Billie: Get down!",
"Christy: Unh!",
"Demons: Uhh! Uhh!",
"Piper: Sweetie, why don't you orb up to your room?",
"Paige: Fireball!",
"Henry: Aah! Ahh!",
"Christy: No!",
"Henry: It's ok. I'm all right. I'm ok.",
"Christy: Oh.",
"Billie: Are you ok?",
"Phoebe: What's going on? What happened?",
"Piper: Ask the fire starter.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Henry: Paige...",
"Paige: Shh! You know you could have been killed?",
"Henry: Paige, I'm ok.",
"Paige: No, you're not ok. You were hit by a fireball, which was actually my fault.",
"Henry: No, it was not your fault. I'm a grown man. I chose to be here.",
"Paige: Henry, I really think you should leave. We don't know if they're coming back.",
"Henry: Paige, I'm not leaving.",
"Paige: I'm not having this on my head, ok? So please, please...",
"Henry: All right.",
"Phoebe: I know that was probably hard for you.",
"Paige: Well, I guess it would have been harder if I was planning his funeral.",
"Phoebe: Well, looks like Christy has a few more powers than we realized, huh?",
"Paige: Yeah, maybe more than even she knew about.",
"Phoebe: Maybe that's why those demons were holding her hostage for all those years. Maybe they were trying to co-opt her powers for themselves.",
"Phoebe: But I don't think she's that powerful. I mean, unless they know something that we don't.",
"Paige: Well, all the more reason for her to open up, so we can find out.",
"Phoebe: I just think she's too freaked out.",
"Paige: Well, she needs to get unfreaked out, and fast.",
"Piper: Ok, I'm gonna go drop off Wyatt with Dad and Chris and get one of the other moms to take over cookie duties.",
"Phoebe: Wait. Why?",
"Piper: What do you mean, why? Why do you think?",
"Paige: We can handle this, Piper.",
"Piper: Yeah, but...",
"Phoebe: No buts. Listen, you bake and spend time with Wyatt, and, hopefully, we can figure out who we're up against before they come back.",
"Paige: Or before Christy burns down the house.",

"[Christy crying]",
"Billie: Christy...",
"Christy: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that.",

"Christy: No. But they did.",
"Billie: They? You mean the demons? Were those the same ones? Who are they?",
"Christy: I don't know. I never knew.",
"Billie: Hey, it's ok. I told you we'd protect you, and we did. Look, I am not gonna let them hurt you anymore, I promise.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Scather demon: It's over. Don't you see that? The Charmed Ones are protecting her now.",
"Dreylock: We still have time. They haven't sensed anything yet.",
"Scather demon: How do you know? How do you know they are not deciding our punishment as we speak?",
"Dreylock: Because they would have acted by now if they had. They're not known for their patience. We have to get the witch back somehow.",
"Scather demon: Impossible. We do not have the power to go up against The Charmed Ones and survive.",
"Dreylock: Still, it would be better to be vanquished by the witches than by The Triad. That would be a fate worse than death.",
"Scather demon: Then, perhaps we should escape, hide from them.",
"Dreylock: They're the most powerful evil ever known. They'd find us. [Drops skull] Prepare the ritual.",
"Scather demon: The ritual? For The Triad? We cannot tell them we've lost her. That is suicide.",
"Dreylock: We have no choice. They're the only ones who can get the girl back now. We'll just have to hope they show us mercy.",

"Piper: Hi.",
"Greg: Hey.",
"Piper: What are you doing here?",
"Greg: Hey, I'm sorry just to show up like this, Piper. But I've got-- you've got a little somethin' there on your cheek.",
"Piper: Oh...",
"Greg: Frosting?",
"Piper: No. I was just baking cookies for my son's party. Um...anyway...",
"Greg: Anyway, there's a guy in my station, he used to work at a body shop, and he says he can fix our cars for next to nothing.",
"Piper: Oh, that's great.",
"Greg: But there's a catch. You see, he's leaving this afternoon, and his next shift isn't for like four days, but if you get your car down there right now, he can take care of everything.",
"Piper: Well, I-I can't go. I mean, I've gotta bake a zillion cookies and drop 'em off at Wyatt's school.",
"Greg: I smell smoke.",
"Piper: Well, you know, I burned a few cookies.",
"Greg: Looks like you burned more than a few cookies.",
"Piper: Well, you know, kids. Those are the cookies.",
"Greg: You go, I'll watch him. Hey, buddy. Hey, little man, what's up? Pretty cool truck.",
"Simon: Ah, Master Wyatt, it's an honor. Harry? Now, you must understand that your kind and our kind simply can't co-mingle.",
"Greg: Where did you come from?",
"Simon: Ah. There is a reason why mortals should stick to their own. Well, actually, there's a few reasons.",
"Greg: Mortals?",
"Paige: Simon?",
"Simon: Darling!",
"Paige: Ah...uh! What are you doing here?",
"Simon: I am just explaining things to Harry here.",
"Paige: If you mean Henry, that is not him. Uh...in fact, I don't know who that is.",
"Simon: I'm Greg. We met once before when I was dating Piper.",
"Paige: Oh, right. Greg. Ok, uh... excuse us. You need to get out. Uh! Are you insane?",
"Simon: Are you? Those were Windsor roses, my dear, from East Sussex. Very rare.",
"Paige: We do not practice magic in front of mortals.",
"Simon: Must be very trying, but I can assure you, Paige, once we are wed--",
"Paige: Ah! We are not going to be wed. Not now, not ever. Get out! Unh!",
"Greg: You take that one. I got that one. Let's crash 'em. Come on!",
"Piper: Hey, how's it goin'?",
"Paige: Uh, not so good. Simon just orbed in in front of your friend. Luckily, he didn't see anything.",
"Piper: Oh, thank God. Did you find who that shoe belongs to?",
"Paige: No, we haven't yet, but, uh, we're on top of it, and it's not your job, so don't worry about it.",
"Greg: Hey, Piper, if you want my buddy to fix the car, we better get goin'.",
"Piper: Oh, gee, that's really great, but--",
"Greg: Come on. We'll drop off the cookies on the way, and Wyatt can play on the fire truck. We can catch up.",
"Piper: Yeah, hold that thought. I don't think that's a good idea.",
"Paige: Actually, I think it's a great idea. What with Simon orbing in and out of here willy-nilly, and demons are trying to attack...",
"Piper: No, that's not what I mean. I mean spending the day with another man while Leo's frozen and all.",
"Paige: Well, Piper, it's not a date. He's just a friend of yours.",
"Piper: A friend that I used to sleep with.",
"Paige: Well, don't sleep with him. Duh! Easy solution to that problem. Go have fun. Remember how to do that?",
"Piper: Mm!",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Simon: Ooh, my word. This man is a pig. Ah! Ooh.",
"Henry: Who are you?",
"Simon: I, sir, am your girlfriend's future husband.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Sigh] Nothing. You got anything yet?",
"Phoebe: Yes. I see... my new condo with me not in it. I should just move back here.",
"Paige: Here's what I'm not understanding. If we've identified them and know who they are, why can't we find 'em?",
"Phoebe: And the scather demons don't even have telepathic powers.",
"Paige: Maybe I was right. Maybe Christy does have some power of telepathy and she contacted them. You know, maybe she's suffering from that Stockholm Syndrome thing.",
"Phoebe: Possibly, but it doesn't explain why we can't find the demons.",
"Paige: Oh, god, maybe we should have accepted Simon's help.",
"Phoebe: Oh, are you still thinking about the Brit?",
"Paige: Paige: No, I'm not thinking about him. He just may have had a point, that's all.",
"Phoebe: Ah, the age old question-- to date or not to date a mortal.",
"Paige: I just keep thinking, if that fireball had been 2 inches to the left there would be no Henry to save. Does that make me selfish?",
"Phoebe: Only you can answer that, sweetie.",
"Paige: Right. Ok, well, back to the matter at hand.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Scather demon: You realize that once we summon them, there is no turning back? They will come.",
"Dreylock: Proceed.",
"Asmodeus: Why have you summoned us?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Asmodeus: How could you let her escape?! Why did you not summon us immediately?",
"Dreylock: My lord, we thought we could get her back.",
"Baliel: You failed us, just as I predicted you would.",
"Scather demon: We didn't fail you! For 15 years, we held her for you, and now...? Aahh!",
"Asmodeus: We mustn't let our anger get the best of us. We can't lose sight of the bigger picture.",
"Candor: There is no bigger picture without the",
"witch, Asmodeus. She is the key.",
"Baliel: And without her, we can't possibly hope to get the power we need. We should decimate this miserable clan before anything else goes wrong.",
"Dreylock: No, wait. You don't understand. The witch was rescued by her sister.",
"Candor: So...",
"Dreylock: So they are both under the protection of The Charmed Ones. Baliel:The Charmed Ones?",
"Dreylock: That's why we summoned you. We don't have the power to go up against them.",
"Candor: Neither do we.",
"Asmodeus: Not yet, we don't. Not unless we get the witch back. And if we do, you'd better not lose her again.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Billie: Look, just because demons use their powers to do bad things, doesn't mean all powers are bad. You can use yours for good. Like, you are in the light now, Christy. There's good magic all around you. You just have to believe it. You have to trust it.",
"Christy: How?",
"Billie: [Sighs] Well...like this. See? It's easy. Just focus on what you want and you can do it. All right, why don't you try now? Oh, come on. Don't worry. You can do it. I'll be right here. Come on. Come on. Now, I want you to focus really hard on what you want, ok? See it in your mind's eye.",
"Christy: [Gasp] I did it!",
"Billie: I told you! Whoa. That's a lot. Maybe I should put that out.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Simon: You know, it's not easy having magical powers. But then again, you will never understand that.",
"Henry: Uh, where'd you say you're from again?",
"Simon: Sussex, with homes in Devonshire, Manchester, London. And when... when Paige and I are wed--",
"Henry: Listen to me. I already told you that's not gonna happen. You got that? Paige is my girl.",
"Simon: Is it really fair of you to be keeping Paige away from the magical world she's destined to be in?",
"Henry: I'm not keeping Paige away from anything.",
"Simon: But you are. You see, it is destiny to combine the Marx and Matthews magical lines. Once we are a couple, we will be the most powerful force of good the world has ever seen.",
"Henry: Well, I think Paige and her sisters are doing fine without you.",
"Simon: But I think Paige deserves so much more, and I can give it to her.",
"Henry: I'm getting pretty tired of you insinuating that I am not good enough for Paige.",
"Simon: I'm not insinuating it. I'm saying it.",
"Henry: All right, look, pal. I may be new to this magical world, but I'm not afraid of demons, and I'm definitely not afraid of you.",
"Simon: Ah! Not afraid?",
"Henry: No.",
"Simon: Not afraid?",
"Henry: No.",
"Simon: Well, I tell you what. Let's wait until you've had a fireball thrown at your face, and then we'll have a little discussion about how brave you think you are.",
"Henry: Already happened this morning. I'm still here.",
"Simon: And how embarrassing that must have been. Let me guess, Paige had to heal you. Correct?",
"Henry: Yeah. So?",
"Simon: So it is only a matter of time before you are beyond healing, leaving poor Paige too devastated to fight the great fight.",
"Henry: You know what? We're finished here.",
"Simon: Are you blind, man? Can't you see that you're a liability in every sense of the word and the fear of you being blown up will make it impossible for Paige to ever truly be honest with you.",
"Henry: Look, pal, I don't know who you are, and I don't really care. You're not getting Paige. You got that?",
"Simon: Really?",
"Henry: Yeah.",
"Simon: Well, if you won't listen to reason, then I guess there's only one thing left for us to do.",
"Henry: I guess so. What's that?",
"Simon: I challenge you to a duel.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Piper: You sure you can't pay him something more for this?",
"Greg: No, he's good. Don't worry about it.",
"Piper: Well, it doesn't seem right, especially since it was my fault.",
"Greg: It's no big deal. He's a fireman. He likes to help people.",
"Piper: Is that why you became a fireman?",
"Greg: Yeah, I guess. I mean, it sure ain't the pay. You know, I wanted to call you, stay in touch, but I felt weird after I heard you and Leo got back together.",
"Piper: Yeah. Of course.",
"Greg: Hey, I don't mean to pry or anything, but I couldn't help notice that he didn't seem to be around. Is everything ok?",
"Piper: Yeah. Sure. You know, it's great.",
"Greg: So is he around?",
"Piper: Uh, well, Leo's been away.",
"Greg: Away.",
"Piper: Mm-hmm. Away.",

"Piper: Excuse me. Hello?",
"Phoebe: I think you need to come home.",
"Piper: What do you mean? Why?",
"Phoebe: Well, we've I.D.'d the demons that took Christy, but we can't find them anywhere.",
"Piper: Well, they're low level. They shouldn't be that hard to find.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, that's why we think something else is on, like maybe they're being protected by other demons, more powerful demons.",
"Piper: Like who?",
"[Billie screams]",
"Piper: What was that?",
"Phoebe: Hurry!",
"Piper: Phoebe! Phoebe!",
"Greg: Is something wrong?",
"Piper: Um, actually, I need my car now.",
"Greg: But it's not finished.",

"Paige: What? Where is she? Where'd she go?",
"Billie: She just left with one of the demons.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Billie: I don't understand, you guys. Everything was going so well. I mean, she was laughing, we were having fun, and, oh, I just don't know how this happened.",
"Piper: Hang on a second. Start from the beginning. What were you guys doing right before?",
"Billie: Well, I was showing her how to control her powers the same way you guys showed me, and she was getting it. She was really excited.",
"Piper: And then?",
"Billie: And then she started hearing some voices, voices she started talking to.",
"Paige: What was she saying?",
"Billie: At first, she wanted them to go away, and then it was something about being the key or that she didn't want to be the key or--",
"Piper: Wait a minute. What key?",
"Billie: To the ultimate power?",
"Phoebe: Whoa. Excuse me?",
"Piper: Oh, no, not another one.",
"Billie: Yeah, I don't know.",
"Phoebe: Well, that explains why they took her now.",
"Billie: And then, the weirdest thing happened. She just changed. Her expression got very dark. Then that demon from before showed up, and before I knew it, I was on fire.",
"Billie: What?",
"Phoebe: Well, it's just, if that's true, the demon that took her didn't have telepathic powers, which means she had to contact them.",
"Billie: [Scoffs] That's ridiculous. Why would she do that?",
"Paige: Beause they're all she knows.",
"Billie: No. No, that's not what happened, ok? You guys weren't there. Christy and I connected as sisters. So if those demons didn't contact her, then some other demons did. Ok?",
"Paige: That's a possibility.",
"Billie: So what are we waiting for? How do we find her?",
"Phoebe: Well, I guess we could start by trying to figure out who this ultimate power is, and maybe they tie into how we're supposed to get Leo back.",

Charmed_08x16.json | [
"Piper organizes an engagement party for Paige and Henry, but the wedding is put in jeopardy when the couple begins to get cold feet. Phoebe notices a strange man following her, and soon discovers that he is a Cupid . Meanwhile, a demon kidnaps Christy in order to lure the Charmed Ones into attacking the Triad , thus preventing them from taking over the Underworld. In a battle with the Triad at Magic School, Paige and Piper vanquish one by orbing him in front of a fireball and Piper blows up the second. The third runs, but unlike how they expected, Leo is not returned, showing that the Triad is not the big threat that they have to face to get him back."

"Two former students of Leo's from Magic School turn up at the manor to inform the Charmed Ones that demons that Leo had imprisoned in the Magic School dungeons have escaped and are seeking revenge. Christy tries to get Billie away from the sisters, and Billie wants Christy to reunite with her parents. Paige goes on her honeymoon, and Coop continues to follow Phoebe. One of the demons is eventually vanquished by Piper and the students sending him to the Astral Plane in a perpetual vanquish, but beforehand, the two demons kill Billie and Christy's parents under orders from Candor, the last remaining member of the Triad. In retaliation, Christy vanquishes him, but he claims that by doing so she passed her final test."

"As Coop realizes that he has fallen in love with Phoebe, she throws him for a loop when she wants to peruse love with a mortal instead of with a magical being. Meanwhile, as Piper tracks down the demons who killed Billie and Christy's parents, she begins to suspect that the demons and the sisters are somehow connected to the Ultimate Power. Paige turns to Coop for help with some issues she has in regards to her marriage to Henry. Christy tries to convince Billie that the Charmed Ones are out to get her."

"CHRISTY: It's real simple, Billie. I tried to kill the demon that killed mom and dad and she wouldn't let me.",
"BILLIE: It doesn't make any sense.",
"CHRISTY: Does this make sense? Listen to me, Piper is so obsessed with saving her husband, she doesn't care who gets in her way.",
"BILLIE: But I don't believe she'd ever hurt you.",
"CHRISTY: Yeah, well, believe it.",
"BILLIE: I have to be missing something.",
"CHRISTY: Fine. Then let's go to the house and you can ask them yourself.",
"BILLIE: No, I'll go. You're way too upset.",
"CHRISTY: Billie, you can't trust them!",
"BILLIE: That's not true.",
"CHRISTY: Oh, really? Face it. They don't care about what we want. They care about what they want.",
"BILLIE: Look, let me just go back to the house and talk to 'em myself. Just meet me at the dorm, okay? Please!",

"(Henry looks at the mirror and talks with Paige.)",
"HENRY: I still don't understand why couldn't just talk to me about this. Why",
"did you have to use magic?",
"PAIGE: I didn't mean to. Look, I don't have time to talk about this right now. I have to go help Piper.",
"HENRY: Well, you should have thought about that before you jumped in my head.",
"PAIGE: I didn't jump in your head! Coop put me there!",
"HENRY: Right, right -- because you were losing yourself?",
"(Henry turns away and continues to talk. His office door is wide open.)",
"HENRY: What does that even mean? I thought things were going great",
"between us. Hey, Paige, I love being married to you, okay?",
"PAIGE'S VOICE: And I love being married to you, too. That's the problem.",
"HENRY: How could that be a problem?",
"PAIGE'S VOICE: Because I never loved someone so much before. And I love you so much that I'm afraid of losing ... me.",
"HENRY: But maybe you're going to find something new ... like I did.",
"PAIGE'S VOICE: You did?",
"HENRY: Yeah. Isn't that the point of marriage?",
"PAIGE'S VOICE: Henry, go to the mirror. (Henry turns and goes to stand in front of the mirror so he can talk to Paige's image.)",
"HENRY: Paige, I want you to stay the women that you are. I fell in love with the woman that you are. But at the same time, I think we can make each other stronger.",
"PAIGE: That was Coop's point, too. (beat) Sorry I snapped at you.",
"(Henry lovingly touches the Paige's image in the mirror.)",
"HENRY: I'm sorry, too, my little baby, baby, baby, baby --",
"(Dennis walks past the door carrying a thick envelope. He stops when he sees Henry coo-ing affectionately to the mirror.)",
"DENNIS: (o.s.) Uh, you okay, Henry? (Henry whirls around to see Dennis, one of his parolees, standing just outside the office door, holding a file envelope and looking strangely back at Henry. Henry leans against the door frame, blocking Dennis' view behind him.)",
"HENRY: (embarrassed) Dennis. Uh ...",
"PAIGE'S VOICE (IN HENRY): (to Henry) Trouble with the Missus.",
"HENRY: (out loud) Trouble with the Missus.",
"DENNIS: Oh. I guess that means I don't have to listen to you gush about her for once, huh?",
"PAIGE'S VOICE (IN HENRY): Aww. You gush about me?",
"HENRY: (out loud) Yeah, I do. (to Dennis) No, you don't. You won't. You checked in on time, so now you can go. And we'll see you the same time tomorrow. Great. (nods.)",
"DENNIS: Yeah. Right.",
"HENRY: Mm-hmm.",
"DENNIS: Yeah. See ya.",
"HENRY: Okay. Get home safe.",

"(Piper and Phoebe are in the kitchen. Piper is standing by the island while Phoebe is sitting on the counter in the corner. Both are completely surprised when Henry orbs in. Henry's just as surprised.)",
"HENRY: Whoa.",
"(He looks around, finding himself suddenly in the kitchen.)",
"PIPER: Whoa yourself. How'd you do that?",
"PAIGE'S VOICE (IN HENRY): Ask if they've had any luck finding the Noxon --",
"HENRY: (interrupting) (to Paige) Hold it a second. I think it'll be easier if I",
"just talk to them myself, honey.",
"PHOEBE: (amused) \"Honey\"? Are you okay?",
"HENRY: Uh ... yeah. I'm--I'm fine.",
"PAIGE'S VOICE (IN HENRY): No, you're not, and neither am I.",
"(Henry makes an impatient noise to Paige.)",
"PIPER: Why are you talking to yourself?",
"HENRY: No, I'm not. (points to his head) Uh ... Paige is in my head.",
"PAIGE'S VOICE (IN HENRY): Tell her I went to Coop for advice.",
"HENRY: (to Paige) Please. I can handle this, Paige.",
"(Guessing what's going on, Piper holds back a smile.)",
"PAIGE'S VOICE (IN HENRY): Sorry.",
"(Henry looks at Phoebe.)",
"HENRY: Coop did it.",
"PHOEBE: Coop did it. (Phoebe slips off her perch on the counter. Why is she",
"not surprised?) Of course he did. Great.",
"PIPER: Well, you need to get him to undo it because we need the Power of Three to find the Noxon.",
"PAIGE'S VOICE (IN HENRY): I might be able to do it from here.",
"(Henry sighs.)",
"HENRY: Um ... Paige thinks that she - (He rubs his head and makes a sound.)",
"Headache -- Paige thinks that she might be able to do it from where she is. (Off screen, they hear the front door open and close. Immediately, everyone turns. Phoebe and Piper head out of the kitchen. Rubbing his temple, Henry follows them.)",
"[INT. MANOR - FRONT HALLWAY - DAY - CONTINUOUS]",

"PIPER: Billie.",
"BILLIE: We need to talk.",
"PIPER: I know. I'm sorry about your sister, but -- how are you?",
"BILLIE: How am I? I'm not so good. How could you attack my sister?",
"PIPER: She didn't leave me much of a choice. She was going to vanquish the",
"demon.",
"BILLIE: So you just thought you'd vanquish her, too?",
"PIPER: No, I didn't --",
"PHOEBE: (interrupts) Look, we know how you feel, but revenge is not the only thing right now.",
"BILLIE: That's what Christy said. Look, I want to find Leo, too. I really, really do. But not at the expense of her.",
"PIPER: Okay, well, then she needs to understand that it can't all be about what she wants. (As Piper talks, Billie turns and sees the potions pack next to the phone on the side table.)",
"BILLIE: Right. 'Cause it seems just to be all about what you want.",
"PIPER: That's not fair.",
"BILLIE: Isn't it?",
"PHOEBE: Okay, look, don't you want to figure out who killed your parents?",
"BILLIE: Yes, I do, but that not what you care about. All you guys care about is finding Leo. You don't care about me.",
"(Billie grabs the potions pack, opens it and takes the vials out.)",
"PIPER: Billie, what are you doing?",
"BILLIE: I'm going to vanquish the Noxon.",
"PIPER: No, you're not.",
"BILLIE: What, are you going to blow me up, too?",
"PAIGE'S VOICE (IN HENRY): (to Henry) Hold out your hand and call for the",

"BILLIE: That didn't stop her last time.",
"PAIGE: Now!",
"HENRY: Vial.",
"(The vials orb out of Billie's hands and into his. Henry smiles.)",
"HENRY: That was cool.",
"(Billie telekinetically grabs the vials from Henry's hands. They fly back into Billie's palm.)",
"(She wiggles the vials smugly in their faces, turns and leaves.)",
"PIPER: Billie! You come back here!",

"[INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - GREAT HALL -- NIGHT]",
"(On a table filled with open books and lit candles, Billie is looking through the texts at Magic School. Christy enters.)",
"CHRISTY: Any luck?",
"BILLIE: No, nothing. There's tons of potions to take us to the underworld, but nothing on the Noxon. Are you scared about being here? This place is usually crawling with demons.",
"CHRISTY: Well, I think between the two of us, we have enough power to defend ourselves. Besides, we can't count on anyone else. So, we don't have any other choice, do we?",
"BILLIE: Yeah, I guess, but it's still kinda creepy.",
"(In the back of the room, Creo shimmers in. Christy sees him.)",
"CHRISTY: (telepathically to Creo) Do you know where he is?",
"CREO: (telepathically to Christy) No, but I'm afraid the Charmed Ones are",
"close to figuring it out.",
"CHRISTY: (telepathically to Creo) But what if they find him first?",
"CREO: (telepathically to Christy) You'll know where to find him, too ... if you use your powers to follow them. It may be your only chance to save her from them.",
"(Creo shimmers out. Billie sighs.)",
"BILLIE: It's no use. There's nothing here. What are we going to do?",
"CHRISTY: I wonder ...",
"BILLIE: What?",
"CHRISTY: Maybe I can listen in on them -- see if they've found him yet.",

"To prove her point about the Charmed Ones no longer working for the greater good to Billie, Christy casts a spell on Piper, Phoebe, and Paige that causes them to fall into a dream-like state. Before this occurs however, Piper has a meeting with one of the Elders in regards to Billie and Christy possibly being recruited for evil purposes; Phoebe has an encounter with Coop that rekindles her desire to have children; Paige tries to keep her newest charge, Mikelle safe from a Darklighter. It is ultimately help received from Mikelle that causes the sisters to realize that Billie and Christy need to be stopped so Leo can be saved."

"In order to get Billie to fight the Charmed Ones alongside of her, Christy and the demonic world resort to deception in order to get the magical community to think the sisters are no longer using their powers for the greater good, and as a result, need to be stopped. As a result, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige have to hide in the underworld in order to come up with a plan to fight back. Meanwhile, the demons working with Christy reveal that the upcoming battle will not only destroy the Charmed Ones, but also Billie and Christy."

"In Episode one of the two-episode Classic series finale, Billie and Christy have managed to turn everything around: while the two of them are now at the Manor and demons are at Magic School, the Charmed Ones are forced to hide in the Underworld. The Jenkins and the Halliwells absorb the Hollow and attack each other in the Manor, not knowing the deadly consequences of their actions - Phoebe, Paige, and Christy are killed and the Manor is destroyed in a massive explosion caused by the biggest fight in Halliwell history."

"Reeling from the death of her sisters, Piper along with Leo, using the help of Coop's ring, must travel back in time to change the events that lead to the deaths of Phoebe and Paige, encountering Grams and Patty, who come back from different times to help recreate the Power of Three. Grown up Chris and Wyatt are also transported to help save Wyatt's power, which was stolen by Billie and Christy. While in the past, Piper and Leo meet their old selves, indicating that the future looks bright for them. Meanwhile, Billie also tries to go back in time, and finally realizes the truth in what her sister has become. Billie comes back seeking the help of the sisters to change her sister but when Christy launches a fire ball at the sisters, Billie deflects it and accidentally kills Christy. At the end, the sisters write down a reflection of what has happened in the years and it shows the future where the next generation. In conclusion, Phoebe marries Coop and they have three daughters, in which Billie looks after the first two when Phoebe goes into labour for a third time. Paige and Henry have twin girls and then Henry Jr. Leo becomes the headmaster of Magic School, Paige continues to juggle being a Whitelighter and a family woman, and Piper and Leo are seen to have had a daughter and their granddaughter whose name is Prudence (after her deceased sister) closes the door with telekinesis just like Prue Halliwell . The final scene shows the manor's front door closing while the triquetra appears on the screen."

"Leo: Piper, you gotta keep it down. (Piper gets the Book. Leo turns the lights on. Piper sits down and looks through the Book. Leo opens a cabinet, takes out a bottle, and dabs it on Piper's wounds.) Well, there's nothing in the Book that can fix this.",
"Piper: No, there's gotta be something.",
"Leo: There's not. And they can't undo what's already been done. (He closes the Book.) Are you sure the boys are okay?",
"Piper: I'm sorry you had to come back to this.",

"Billie: Oh, she-she's gone.",
"Dumain: What about the Charmed Ones?",
"(Billie shakes her head.)",
"Billie: Piper, Piper's the only one left. I don't understand, you said the Hollow would be enough.",
"Dumain: They got it too. They somehow found out you were going to use it against them, so they summoned it too. It must've split, infected you all.",
"Billie: I just want Christy back.",
"Dumain: You might be able to. You've got the power, Billie. You've projected yourself back into the past before, haven't you? When Christy was young, when she was trapped in that cave?",
"Billie: Well, yeah, but I...",
"Dumain: Then why can't you do it again? Only this time you can go back to change what was, to save her. You trust me, don't you?",

"Victor: Oh, sweetie, I'm so happy to see you. Wow. (Leo steps in.) Leo!",
"Leo: Hey, Victor.",
"Victor: You're back? (They shake hands.) Well, I don't believe it. This is good, right? (He closes the door.) I mean, everything worked out all right?",
"Piper: Um, maybe you should sit down.",
"Victor: No, I don't want to sit down. What happened? What's going on?",
"Piper: Well, Phoebe and Paige, um, they didn't make it.",
"Victor: What?",
"Piper: But it's okay, I mean, I'm gonna fix it. I don't know how, but I'm going to fix it.",

"Leo: Who's Coop?",
"Piper: Uh, he's a Cupid...who took Phoebe to see her past loves.",
"Victor: So?",
"Piper: So, maybe he can do the same for us. Coop? If you can hear me, I need to talk to you now.",
"(Coop appears.)",
"Coop: Guys, if this is about Phoebe, she's made it very clear to me about the way that she feels so...",
"Piper: Phoebe's dead.",
"Coop: What?",
"Piper: But if you lend me your ring, I think I can go back in time and save her. It can do that, right? I mean, you can go back in time.",
"Coop: Yeah, to follow love but...",
"Piper: Okay, so hand it over. (He gives her the ring.) Okay, what do I do? Uh, how does it work?",
"Coop: You, uh, just think about that person, and, uh...how much you love them. (Piper nods.) I-I gotta tell you, it doesn't always work that way that you want it to, though, cause love, love isn't practical, it's-it's emotional.",
"Piper: That's okay. It's all I've got.",
"Leo: I'm going with you. (He takes her hand.) I'm not losing you again.",
"Coop: Keep it simple. Just follow your heart to one of them.",
"(Piper closes her eyes.)",
"Piper: Phoebe. (They disappear and reappear in a bedroom at the Manor.) This isn't right. (They hear voices and see Past Victor and Patty in bed, kissing. Piper gasps.) Oh, my God.",
"(Patty spots them and gasps.)",
"Patty: Demons!",
"(She sits up and tries to freeze them, but freezes Leo. She clutches the bed sheet.)",
"Past Victor: What happened? Why didn't she freeze?",
"Patty: I don't know.",
"Piper: Probably because I'm your daughter!",
"(She turns away and covers her eyes.)",
"[Cut to stairs. Patty, Piper, Past Victor, and Leo walk down.]",
"Patty: You must be a pretty powerful witch, you know, to be able to come here from the future.",

"Past Victor: Who's Coop, a future son?",
"(Patty laughs.)",
"Piper: No dad. Sorry, all girls.",
"Patty: Oh, you mean it's just you and Prue, huh?",
"Leo: Maybe we shouldn't tell them too much. You know, changing the past might change the future.",
"Piper: Well, we've gotta tell them something. I mean, how are we going to figure out why we're here? Coop'll fix it.",
"(She sees her parents holding hands and laughs. Patty laughs.)",
"Patty: What?",
"Piper: I'm just not used to seeing you guys holding hands, let alone... (She points upstairs.) Never mind. (She turns and steps on a stuffed rabbit. It squeals.) Oh. (She picks it up.) Hey, I remember this. How old am I? I mean now, in your time.",
"Past Victor: Almost three.",
"Piper: So Prue would be five, and Phoebe...",
"Patty: Phoebe? Wait, who's Phoebe?",
"Piper: Not born yet. (To Leo) I don't understand how this happened. I was focusing on Phoebe, and it was supposed to take me back to when she would be alive again.",
"Leo: Well, maybe it did, maybe we just over shot it a little bit.",
"Piper: A little? Try thirty years.",
"(Patty puts a hand on her stomach.)",
"Victor: Wait a minute; I'm still a little new with the witch thing. So, what happened?",
"Piper: Well, we were trying to save Phoebe and Paige...",
"Patty: Paige? Do you mean we have another daughter?",
"(Past Victor and Patty smile.)",
"Piper: Yes, mom, you do.",
"Leo: But the point is-is they died...in a huge battle, and we were trying to go back in time to warn them.",
"Piper: But without the Power of Three, we had to use this.",
"(She points at the ring.)",
"Patty: Wait; did you say the Power of Three? Then, that makes you the Charmed Ones, right? (Piper smiles.) And you all came from me?",
"Piper: Well, yes, so...",
"Patty: So, if I'm the mother of the Charmed Ones, and we could find the grandmother, then maybe we'd be able to recreate the Power of Three, at least in theory.",
"Piper: (to Leo) Do you know what she's talking about?",
"Patty: I'm talking about using our family magic...to get you to where you want to go, instead of that silly ring. Could that thing take us to her? I mean your Grams. Because it'd be faster than driving. (Piper hesitates.) Look, you can't come barging in here from the future and tell me that two of my girls are dead without expecting me to help. So? Let's get going! (Patty places herself between them.) Oh, I'll be right back baby.",
"(She kisses Victor. Piper closes her eyes.)",
"Piper: Hmm, Grams.",
"(Past Victor smiles. They appear in the parlor, but it's different.)",
"Leo: What happened?",
"Patty: Where's Victor?",
"(Piper sees the stuffed rabbit on the table is very old.)",
"Piper: Now where are we?",
"Old Woman: (from other room) Triple word score!",
"Old Man: (from other room) Hold it, that's not spelled right.",
"(They go into the conservatory. An old couple sits at a table playing scramble.)",
"Old Woman: Sure it is.",
"Old Man: No, it's not!",
"Old Woman: No? Is that an official challenge?",
"Piper: Uh, excuse me?",
"(The couple sees them.)",
"Old Man: How do you spell Zankou, with a Z or X?",
"Old Woman: That's cheating.",
"Old Man: I'm not asking you, I'm asking...me. (He points at Leo. His jaw drops.) Well?",
"Leo: Z.",
"Old Leo: Ha! Told you.",
"(Old Woman groans and removes her pieces.)",
"Piper: Uh, are you...?",

"Commercial",
"[Scene: Manor - future. Piper, Leo, and Patty sit on the sofa. Old Piper sits in the chair.]",
"Piper: I just don't understand how...",
"Old Piper: You were aiming for Grams, but you weren't specific enough. So you came to the future, where you're the Grams instead. (She chuckles.) And...here I am.",
"Piper: Wait a minute. I'm a grandmother?",
"Old Piper: Blows your mind, doesn't it? Mom?",
"(Patty chuckles.)",
"Piper: Uh, yeah.",
"(Old Leo enters with a plate and glass of water.)",
"Leo: All right, hold on, I don't understand how you know all this stuff, and how did you know we would come?",
"Old Leo: Because fifty years ago, we were sitting there, where you're sitting, talking to our future selves.",
"Old Piper: That's why we were expecting you. Now, you sure you don't want some cookies?",
"Piper: Uh, no. I think I'd rather have aspirin.",
"Old Leo: Like she said... (He gives Piper the plate with aspirin and the water.) We were expecting you. (He goes and sits next to Old Piper.) You remember when we were them? Oh, kicking butt, fighting demons.",
"Old Piper: Losing you, getting you back, losing you again, aye.",
"Old Leo: And it was all worth it.",
"Old Piper: Oh, you bet.",
"Patty: Oh, that's so sweet!",
"Piper: Mm-hmmm, you know what? I'm just not quite ready for all of this. Besides, we need to get back...",
"Pipers: To save Phoebe and Paige...",
"Old Piper: Right, and the only way you're gonna be able to do that, is if you....",
"Old Leo: Ah, don't say too much Hon. We don't want them to mess up the future.",
"Piper: Well, isn't it already messed up?",
"Old Leo: Oh, no. Not yet. Oh, and the future is worth saving, believe me.",
"Old Piper: You keep using the ring; focus on who you want to go to with our heart, not with your head.",
"Old Leo: That way you'll get to your Grams, and then to Phoebe and Paige.",
"Patty: But what do we do when we get there? How do we save them?",
"Old Piper: You get rid of the Hollow together.",
"(The ring glows and they appear in the conservatory's past.)",
"Patty: I think we're back in my time.",
"Grams: (from other room) You want another tissue?",
"Little Piper: (from other room) No, I'm okay.",
"(They go to the living room to find Grams sitting with Little Piper.)",
"Grams: Well, you're more than okay, sweetie. You're very, very special and you need to know that.",
"Little Piper: Not as special as Prue, or even Phoebe. Everyone likes Phoebe.",
"Grams: But you're special in your own way, Piper. I mean, you're kind and caring, you're the best little helper I've got. Plus, you are the only one who can keep your sisters from killing each other half the time. (Both Pipers smile.) And you may not know it yet, but you've got gifts. The most-the most amazing gifts, and someday, those gifts are gonna make you even more special.",
"Little Piper: How?",
"Grams: Well, you'll see. (She chuckles and gives Little Piper a hug. Piper smiles.) Now, run on upstairs and play with your sisters, okay? While I make dinner.",
"Little Piper: Okay.",
"(She leaves. Patty brushes Piper's hair.)",
"Patty: You loved your Grams.",
"(Grams stands up.)",
"Grams: Who's there?",
"Patty: It's okay mom. It's just me.",
"Piper: Oh, no. Mom...",
"Grams: Patty?",
"(Patty smiles.)",
"Patty: Mm-hmm. (Grams faints.) Mom! Oh, what happened? (She kneels down to check Grams.) Why'd she faint?",
"Piper: Oh, well, probably because you're dead.",

"Dumain: All you need to do is focus on saving your sister, which means focusing on the battle. Let's try again. (Billie sits in a circle of lit candles.) Clear you mind of everything else, from all that has happened since. (Billie closes her eyes.) Let go of the pain of loss, because where you're going that hasn't happened yet. Think only of Christy. See her at your side. You want to save her more than anything else. And that's what you're going to do. That's it. You're almost there. Now go, project yourself back to the Triad.",
"(Billie opens her eyes.)",
"Billie: The Triad? (She stands.) What the hell are you talking about? Are you trying to trick me?",
"Dumain: Wha-no! Of course not!",
"Billie: Then what was that? You said I was going back to see my sister.",
"Dumain: You're right. I should have told you.",
"Billie: Should've told me what? What's going on?",
"Dumain: What's going on is that if you don't go back to warn the Triad about the battle, they won't be able to stop it, which means they'll still be killed and so will your sister!",
"Billie: So, you're saying the Triad was still alive?",
"(Dumain rolls his eyes.)",
"Dumain: More or less.",
"Billie: And you didn't tell me? So you've been manipulating me this entire time, and Christy too?",
"Dumain: Christy understands exactly what is going on.",
"Billie: And what might that be?",
"Dumain: Why don't you go back and ask her yourself? Then maybe you'll understand too.",

"Piper: Yeah, well, welcome to the club. (She sighs.) What's wrong?",
"Leo: Nothing. (Piper smiles.) I just, uh, I was thinking about: after you guys say the spell to get rid of the Hollow.",
"Piper: Well, hopefully it'll work.",
"Leo: Yeah, if it does, it means everyone's gonna come back to life, including Billie and Christy.",
"Piper: Not for long, not if I have my way.",
"Leo: Uh, until you do it means the ultimate battle wouldn't have been fought yet, which means the Angel of Destiny might take me away again until it is.",
"Piper: Listen, all I know is that we will be playing Scrabble in the future, and I'm pretty sure you will be losing.",
"(Leo smiles. Grams wakes up.)",
"Grams: Oh, what happened? Where am I?",
"Patty: You're okay, mom. You just fainted.",

"(Piper and Leo come over.)",
"Piper: Hi.",
"Grams: And who are you?",
"Piper: Well, believe it or not, I am Piper, from the future, and this is my lovely husband Leo from the future as well.",
"Patty: But I'm from the past, obviously.",
"Grams: I need a drink.",
"(She stands.)",
"Patty: Oh, mom.",
"Piper: Okay, Grams, relax. I know this is all very complicated, but we don't have time to explain. Something very bad has happened in the future and we need your help to fix it.",
"Patty: We have to save her sisters, mom. We have to save the Charmed Ones.",

"Grams: Though a different past than mine.",
"Phoebe: (to Paige) Are you getting any of this?",
"(Paige sighs.)",
"Paige: Whatever, as long as we're alive again, that's all I care about. Plus, it's really nice to see you guys again.",

"Patty: Actually, we've never met.",
"Paige: Yeah, we have, but you were a ghost. (Patty's face falls.) Oh, does she know?",
"Grams: Yes, yes, we know, we're both dead by now. We're over it.",
"Patty: Well, you speak for yourself.",
"(Piper stands up.)",
"Piper: Okay, the problem is we're still right back to where we started with Leo, and if I'm gonna have that future, that I saw with him...",
"Phoebe: Wait, you went to the future too?",
"Paige: We sure did miss a lot when we were dead.",
"Piper: Anyway, the point is, if I'm gonna get my husband back, we have a battle to finish.",
"Phoebe: And we're gonna have to get mom home safely. Otherwise Paige and I won't be born.",
"Patty: Good point.",
"Paige: Well, fantastic, are there any other problems we should be worrying about?",

"Christy: If we could just get to the Hollow sooner this time...",
"Billie: Christy, listen.",
"Christy: Figure out a way.",
"Billie: What is the matter with you? Dumain is using us, okay? And he's not the only one, the Triad is also. Yes, that's right, they're still alive, or they were, but Dumain didn't tell us that did he? Instead he tried to trick me into saving them instead of you.",
"Christy: Well, maybe you should've listened to him.",
"Billie: What?",
"Christy: The Triad could've helped us figure out how to kill the sisters if they were still around.",
"Billie: Okay, look at me, listen to me very carefully. They don't care about us. They have twisted everything. They're using us, Christy. They're using us for our powers, our sisterhood, and our lives so all we can do is kill.",
"Christy: And that's exactly what we're going to do, Billie. We're going to kill.",
"Billie: Well I can't do it. I won't.",

"(Chris and Wyatt smile and wave back.)",
"Piper: As you were saying.",
"Wyatt: Suddenly, in the middle of all the fighting, everything changed.",
"Chris: And the demons started kicking our ass-butts... (Grams nods.) Butts, just because Wyatt here lost his powers.",
"Piper: Wait, how did you loose your powers?",
"Wyatt: That's the thing. We don't know.",
"Chris: So we cast a spell to take us back to when they were lost, and it took us here. To you.",
"(Wyatt nods.)",
"Patty: Maybe we messed up something without realizing it.",
"Grams: Well, with all the jumping around we've done, it's a wonder everything's not messed up.",
"Piper: No, it's gotta be Billie and Christy. They used the Hollow to steal his powers. I'm gonna kill them.",
"(Phoebe shakes her head.)",
"Paige: Well, before you do that, we need to get Wyatt's powers back. Otherwise there's not going to be any future to save.",
"Phoebe: Well, I think the only way to do that is go back and stop them.",
"Grams: But how do we know exactly when to go back to?",
"Wyatt: I'll know, or at least I'm hoping little Wyatt might jog my memory.",

"(Chris nods.)",
"Chris: Yeah, absolutely.",
"(Patty smiles and stands.)",

"Dumain: What do you mean Billie's not coming? We need her.",

"Christy: Well, maybe there's another way.",

"(Grams add something in.)",
"Paige: It's Billie and Christy, they're not demons.",
"Grams: Well, they might as well be, from everything you've told me, which means we can't take any chances. Oh, I can't get over how big this Book has gotten, hmm. I'm so proud of you girls.",
"Piper: Then why don't you let me stir?",
"(There's a knock at the door.)",

"Paige: Yes, I'm okay. Of course I'm okay. I mean, weren't okay, okay. But now we're okay...and I think in the future we're gonna be... (She nods.) I think we're gonna be more than okay.",

"Coop: And so is love, ours. I let you kick me out of here yesterday. I'm not doing it again today. And you know why? Because I love you, Phoebe Halliwell. (He put his hands on her shoulders.) With all of my heart, with every fiber my being, I love you. Now I've found love for thousands of people all over the world, but I have never found love for myself, not until now. Until you. And I-I-I know you feel the same way, because I can see it, I know what loves looks like. And I am not letting this get away from us, Phoebe.",
"Phoebe: Apparently not, Uncle Coop.",

"Billie: I don't know. Probably at Magic School trying to figure out a way to kill you.",

"Billie: No. No. That was before. (Grams puts the Book down.) They twisted everything to make us think we were doing the right thing.",
"Piper: Who?",

"Chris: Well, Grandpa said that someone came and picked up little Wyatt, just before five in the afternoon yesterday.",
"Wyatt: Some man, but that's all I could go out of him.",
"Phoebe: Wait, what man?",
"Billie: Dumain. He brought Wyatt to Christy and me to summon the Hollow.",
"Paige: And then you stole his powers.",
"Billie: We were being infected. We didn't have a choice.",
"Piper: You used my son?",
"Grams: That is all in the past, dear. Now let's just focus...on how to fix it now, okay?",
"Phoebe: Okay, so we have to go back in time to the day Dumain took Wyatt.",
"Billie: No, we have to go before that. I know him. He's gonna warn the Triad before you can vanquish them.",
"Paige: Then you have to get the ring.",
"Phoebe: Coop? Coop? We need you. (Nothing happens.) Something's wrong.",
"(Chris and Wyatt sighs.)",
"Piper: What?",
"Chris: The Elders sent Coop down to you, Phoebe, not just to help you find love, but to help you find him.",
"Wyatt: They were hoping you'd fall in love with a Cupid. It was the only way that they could make it up to you after everything you sacrificed.",
"Chris: And they weren't gonna put you through what mom and dad went through, so...",
"Wyatt: It wasn't and it will not be a forbidden love.",
"Phoebe: Okay. Uh-I don't know how that information helps us right now.",

"Grams: It will be if you get us back. I mean otherwise, uh...",
"Paige: How are we gonna get them back?",
"Coop: Oh, I can take care of that.",
"Phoebe: Yeah, but how will you know where to take them back to?",
"Coop: Well, the ring will. (to Piper) If I can ever get it back.",
"(He winks. Piper rolls her eyes and throws the ring at Coop. He catches it and laughs.)",
"Chris: Just make sure you return them just before they were taken. That way they won't remember anything.",
"(Chris groans.)",

"(She giggles. Chris shakes his head.)",
"Patty: There's just as much I don't ever want to know. (She sighs.) Like what happened to Prue. Victor told me.",

If wanting a baby more than anything in the world because... a co-worker offhandedly made a remark that you'd be a great mom after I told a story about Horse AIDS makes me crazy, then lock me up.

"*Dawson's room - Dawson and Joey are kissing as \"Say Goodnight\" plays in the background. They pull away.*",
"Joey: What was that?",
"Dawson: A kiss...I think.",
"Joey: *smiles* You kissed me.",
"Dawson: I know. *Joey and Dawson both have that 'Should we kiss again?' look on their faces*",
"Dawson: So..",
"Joey: So.",
"Dawson: Well..",
"Joey: Well what?",
"Dawson: Well that was a kiss.",
"Joey: I'll say.",
"Dawson: So now what?",
"Joey: I don't know.",
"Dawson: Me either.",
"Joey: Well, uh, maybe we could.. *Joey walks over and sits on the bed.*",
"Dawson: What?",
"Joey: Nothing. *Dawson walks over and sits beside her.*",
"Dawson: No, no, you were going to say something. What were you going to say?",
"Joey: Nothing, I mean, I don't know. I don't know what I was going to say.",
"Dawson: You were going to say we shouldn't have done that. I mean, that's what you're thinking, right?",
"Joey: Actually, Dawson, I don't have a thought in my head now. *standing up* But apparently, that's what you're thinking so",
"Dawson: No, no, I...",
"Joey: Look. Why don't we sleep on it? *Dawson looks at her.*",
"Joey: (cont.) Not together! I mean, YOU in your bed and me in mine.",
"Dawson: Right, right, uh, absolutely. Obviously. We'll sleep on it, wake up, and this will all be a dream.",
"Joey: You mean like it never happened?",
"Dawson: Is that what you want?",
"Joey: Is that what YOU want? *Dawson just stands there.*",
"Joey: Okay, poof! Didn't happen, Dawson. See ya later. *She starts climbing out the window*",
"Dawson: Joey! Joey! *He runs to the window and pulls her by the arm back inside.*",
"Dawson: Don't even think about climbing out that window. *Joey smiles and they kiss again.* Dawson's Creek theme (still the same, but new opening credits)",
"*Cut back and forth: Joey laying in her bed, Dawson laying in his, Joey waking up and slowly smiling, Dawson waking up and smiling* *Cut to Dawson's parents' room. They're laying in bed and Mitch wakes up and turns over to find Gail sitting up in bed.*",
"Gail: Hi.",
"Mitch: Hi...is everything okay?",
"Gail: Mm-hm. I was just sitting here waiting.",
"Mitch: *slowly* Waiting for what?",
"Gail: I don't have to be in until 9 today and of all the possible ways to spend a free morning there's one idea that just kind of seems to stand out.",
"Mitch: Mm Gail..",
"Gail: You can protest if you want, but the resistance will only make the conquest that much sweeter.",
"Mitch: Ah, Gail, Gail, I have to shower. I have a meeting.",
"Gail: Oh, that's ok, the act plays under water too.",
"Mitch: Gail.",
"Gail: Right. Shower. Meeting. *Cut to Bessie and Joey pulling up in the truck in which has a flat tire. The truck stops and Bessie gets out.*",
"Bessie: I could just open my mouth and scream. I hate this truck it's always something!",
"Joey: Hey, these things happen Bessie. Don't let it get you down.",
"Bessie: Your morning glow is highly suspicious. How many cups of coffee have you had?",
"Joey: Can't a person be in a good mood?",
"Bessie: A person can, but you. You're Miss Perma-Scowl. What aren't you telling me?",
"Joey: Nothing.",
"Bessie: Then what's with that look?",
"Joey: What look?",
"Bessie: You have this look. This cheery, yet sneaky, 'I got lucky' look. I know this look. *Joey tries to act casual but can't hide her grin.*",
"Joey: Bessie...",
"Bessie: Here, wait a second. Where were you last night?",
"Joey: Nowhere...*gives in*..Dawson's.",
"Bessie: Start talking. *Cut to Dawson and Pacey getting a haircut.*",
"Pacey: You know, I knew there was a reason you got me up this morning for a morning trim. So c'mon, set the stage, I want details.",
"Dawson: I don't know how to explain....it was in a word... *Cut back to Joey and Bessie fixing the flat tire.*",
"Joey: Hot. Extremely hot.",
"Bessie: So what kind of kiss was it? Peck on the cheek? Probbing tongues? Fingers clawing at your neck? *Joey makes a face like she's slightly embarressed.*",
"Joey: Bessie...",
"Bessie: (cont.) Did he touch your-- *Cut back to Pacey and Dawson*",
"Pacey: ...thing-a-ma-jig?",
"Dawson: Get out of the gutter. No thing-a-ma-jig involved. It was just the sweetest, most romantic, Fourth of July fireworky, waves crashing on the shore, beyond any movie I could ever imagine kiss.",
"Pacey: Congratulations. I'm happy for ya. But, more importantly, are you going to do it?",
"Joey: Don't even go there, Bessie. I will extinguish this conversation right now.",
"Bessie: Okay. Alright. So what's next? *Cut back to Pacey and Dawson*",
"Pacey: After you kiss somebody things change. Questions arise.",
"Dawson: What questions? *Cut back to Bessie and Joey*",
"Bessie: Does this cut France? *Cut back to Dawson and Pacey*",
"Dawson: We haven't discussed it.",
"Pacey: You know I can't believe this. After years of gratuitous self-examination, you finally did it, you acted. I mean, I thought you and Joey were going to draw out this 'will they-won't they' drama for at least another couple of years. Sam and Diane didn't get together for at least 4 seasons and Mulder and Scully...they haven't even kissed! If you and Joey can get across this romantic checkmate thing you've been in for GOD knows how many years...anything is possible!",
"Dawson: God, calm down, Pacey.",
"Pacey: No, I'm serious here. I can change, too. I can be Pacey Witter, bad ass stud and man about town. I can score with high quality chicks. Kristy Livingstone par example.",
"Dawson: Senior cheerleader? Let's not abandon all sense of reality here.",
"Pacey: No, no, no. No more negative thoughts. *Pacey pulls the lady's hand who's fixing his hair.*",
"Pacey: You know what? Molly? I need a new look. What do you say we...frost my tips or something?",
"Dawson: Frost your tips?",
"Pacey: Yeah. *smiles* *Cut to Pacey walking towards his dad's police car with his \"frosted tips\". He gets in the car. He spots Kristy.*",
"Pacey: Hey Kristy! *He turns on the car and turns towards where Kristy was headed until a girl wrecks into him [Andie McPhee]*",
"Andie: Oh my God. Oh.",
"Pacey: Great. Just great. My father's going to kill me.",
"Andie: Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Officer, please, I am so sorry. *Pacey looks around before he realizes that she thinks he is an officer.*",
"Andie: I didn't see you pulling out. I mean, I did see you pulling out but it was so abrupt that--",
"Pacey: Mm-hm.",
"Andie: Oh god. I just got my license. Please be kind.",
"Pacey: I'm going to have to see that license and your registration, too, Little Miss. *She finds them and hands them to Pacey.*",
"Pacey: Andie McPhee. Rhode Island driver's license?",
"Andie: Uh, yes sir. See, my family just moved to town. We live over on Windsor.",
"Pacey: Country Club.",
"Andie: Yes. Is that a detriment? *Pacey is getting really into his police officer impersonation.*",
"Pacey: Do you realize the severity of what you've done here? Hm? Do ya? *Andie nods*",
"Pacey: Sitting behind the wheel of a very powerful and dangerous automobile is a huge responsibility. One lapse of judgement and you could run over a cat, a child, a nun. You know I could have this license revoked, *snaps*, just like that. In fact, I think I'm just going to take you in and book you right now.",
"Andie: No, no, you can't! *Pacey turns away from the cop car.*",
"Andie: I mean, um, please don't do that. I just got my license. Please don't revoke it.",
"Pacey: 'kay. Maybe I can just, let this one incident slide. But I just want to let you know that I got my eyes on you now, Blondie. You cause anymore trouble in Capeside and Officer Pacey is coming after you. Hm? *Andie nods and takes her driver's license.*",
"Andie: Okay, I understand. Thank you. Thank you so much. Oh, um it was really nice meeting you. *Pacey turns back to the cop car.*",
"Pacey: Damn. *Cut to Capeside High hallway, Joey is talking to a teacher.*",
"Mr. Elliord: Good luck Joey.",
"Joey: Thank you Mr. Elliord. I appreciate all of your advice, but...",
"Mr. Elliord: Goodbye Ms. Potter. *Joey turns back to her locker. Dawson walks up.*",
"Dawson: Hi!",
"Joey: Hey.......how are you?",
"Dawson: Good, um. Yeah...how are you?",
"Joey: *sighs* I don't know Dawson. I think I might have made the biggest mistake of my life. *Dawson thinks it's him.*",
"Joey: France. I told Mr. Elliord I just...wasn't going to go. *She smiles. Dawson smiles and laughs and hugs her.*",
"Dawson: So Joey Potter's sticking around Capeside for some guy...",
"Joey: Yeah, maybe if you're lucky I'll introduce you to him sometime.",
"Dawson: Oh okay. *He leans in closer to her.*",
"Dawson: *whispering* Well, he's a very lucky guy. *Joey smiles. They start walking down the hall.*",
"Joey: But seriously, Dawson. What do you think?",
"Dawson: I'm relieved. I'm ecstatic. I'm psyched. I'm...aroused.",
"Joey: Aroused?",
"Dawson: Yeah.",
"Joey: Put your hormones aside for right now, Dawson. *Dawson leans in to kiss her*",
"Joey: No, no Dawson. Just for a second. Me not going to France...you and me talking dirty in the halls...I mean, do you think we're making some massive, monumental mistake? I mean, things have always been so complicated between...",
"Dawson: I think we'll be fine. I mean granted we'll be entering some uncharted boy/girl territory but I honestly think regardless of how complicated things are on a day to day basis, we'll be fine. We'll concentrate on the simple stuff.",
"Joey: Like what?",
"Dawson: Like a date.",
"Joey: A date?",
"Dawson: Mm-hm.",
"Joey: You and me on a date?",
"Dawson: Yep.",
"Joey: I don't know, Dawson. I was going to watch tv tonight. I hear Luke Perry's back on 90210.",
"Dawson: Saturday night the Rialto is closing. It's the last show, I think we should go.",
"Joey: Will you still be aroused on Saturday night?",
"Dawson: I think I can guaratee it, yeah. *They start leaning in to kiss, when Jen walks up.*",
"Jen: Hey guys.",
"Dawson: Jen! Hey.",
"Joey: Hey.How's it goin'?",
"Jen: Not great. My, uh, grandpa died last night.",
"Dawson: Oh my god Jen I'm so sorry.",
"Joey: How are you doing? How is your grandmother?",
"Jen: She's ok, she's actually handling it better than me.",
"Joey: Is there anything we can do?",
"Dawson: Yeah.",
"Jen: No, no I'm fine. Actually, I think I'm just going to head home. I was going to try to stick out the day but it doesn't seem like that great of an idea. *Jen walks away.*",
"Dawson: Jen!",
"Joey: You should go see if she's okay.",
"Dawson: I'll see you later. *Dawson walks off leaving Joey by herself in the crowded halls of Capeside.* *Cut to Capeside hallway. Pacey is talking to some guys about the stunt he pulled with Andie and Andie walks up and overhears.*",
"Pacey: Trust me, it's there! *indicating outside* I'm pulling out for school. Trust me, go outside. I'm in the cruiser, in my dad's car. Giver her the whole cop routine, license, registration. It was nothin'! *He walks away and Andie taps him on the shoulder.*",
"Andie: Officer Pacey. You little stump.",
"Pacey: Hey Little Missy, how you doin'? You keepin out of trouble?",
"Andie: You know impersonating an officer is a felony. I should call the police station and report you.",
"Pacey: Oh, there's a conversation I would love to hear taking as my father is the town sheriff!",
"Andie: I have been having major anxiety attacks, to the point of medication, ever since you pulled your little stunt. Spinning scenarios in my head about being carded off to prison and becoming a s*x slave to some Sadis named Bomber Bertha.",
"Pacey: Okay, now, correct me if I'm wrong, didn't you cause the accident? You hit me. I was just having some fun. And besides, it's NOTHING compared to the hell my dad is giving me. And you know what? Your country club Sab is still in one piece so.. *Kristy walks up*",
"Kristy: Hey Andie.",
"Andie: Hey Kristy. *Kristy continues walking.*",
"Pacey: Hey Kristy...didn't you tell me you're new in town? How do you know Kristy Livingstone?",
"Andie: Well, unlike certain sewer rats, she made the effort to welcome the new, and slightly insecure, to Capeside.",
"Pacey: Well, she probably didn't recognize me I just had my tips frosted.",
"Andie: You just had your tips frosted?",
"Pacey: Yeah.",
"Andie: Your tips are in attempt to win a certain someone. *Pacey points at her like \"You got it\"*",
"Andie: Hot tip. Kristy Livingstone is a homosapien so perhaps you should start barking up a different tree.",
"Pacey: And perhaps you should just stop barking altogether.",
"Andie: Tell you what. Here's an idea. I've always had a certain soft spot for pathetic, lovelorn losers such as yourself, so if you like Kristy...I'll set up an intro.",
"Pacey: Really? You'd do that for me? *Cut to Jen at her Grams'*",
"Grams: Hello Jennifer. How was school today?",
"Jen: The usual. What's going on here?",
"Grams: Well I've decided to donate some of your grandfather's old clothes to the church charity drive.",
"Jen: You're just giving his stuff away?",
"Grams: No, it's for a good cause. There are people in this community who rely on these donations.",
"Jen: But don't you think it's a little early to be clearing out his closet?",
"Grams: He's not going to be needing these things. Those less fortunate, do.",
"Jen: Grams just died yesterday. We haven't even buried him yet.",
"Grams: What would you have me do Jennifer?",
"Jen: I don't know. It's just that you're not exactly the picture of the grieving widow.",
"Grams: Let me tell you something, Jennifer. I loved your grandfather from our very first date through 43 years of marriage and when he had his stroke, I sat by his bedside and for months all I did was pray for his recovery. But when his condition worsened, do you know what I prayed for? Not for his recovery, but for his release. I watched him waste away in that bed for almost 2 years. So whether I clean out his closet today or not, he's gone. He's been gone. *Cut to Gail running up to the house*",
"Gail: I know, I know I'm late. And I know what you must be thinking.",
"Mitch: You do?",
"Gail: Before you let those thoughts get the best of you, here's the truth. The promo meeting ran long and after that there was traffic all the way up I-95 and I know that Ann Landers said that you're never supposed to give more than one excuse when you're explaining yourself to somebody, but that is the truth Mitch, and I really need you to believe me.",
"Mitch: I do. Actually, I heard about the traffic jam on the radio.",
"Gail: Oh thank god. Because I just don't want you to ever have to worry again that I'm....those days are behind us, you know that, and I would just hate for one of those old suspicions to creep back.",
"Mitch: I know. It's okay. Really. Oh god, look at the time, I gotta get going.",
"Gail: Where are you going?",
"Mitch: It's just an appointment that's arisin suddenly. I won't be home too late. *Cut to Pacey at school watching Andie talk to Kristy.*",
"Andie: Go for it, Pacey. She's all ready for you. I got her primed.",
"Pacey: *to a tune* There once was a girl named-a Kristy, the thought of her nude makes me misty, a night on the town, we'll both go get down, by the end of the date she'll have kissed me. *Pacey approaches her.*",
"Pacey: Kristy...hey!",
"Kristy: Pacey...how are you?",
"Pacey: Great. How are you doin'?",
"Kristy: Good. What can I do for you?",
"Pacey: Ah, Listen. I know this is sort of abrupt seeing as we hardly know each other. In fact, we don't even know each other at all. But I was wondering if I could change that and maybe get to know you a little better, take you out to dinner and a movie sometime. See if we have anything that resembles a future together. Ah, so, I was thinking tomorrow night? What do you say?",
"Kristy: Sounds great. *Pacey nods his head like he's just been turned down but then realizes he hasn't and perks up.*",
"Pacey: Okay! *Cut to Mr. Leery in an office. A secretary comes out of a door.*",
"Secretary: Mr. Leery?",
"Mitch: Yes?",
"Secretary: Mr. Drake will see you now. *Phone is ringing in the background* *Mr. Leery enters the office and the secretary goes over to answer the phone.*",
"Secretary: *on phone* Drake, Witherspoon, and Hall....no, we specialize in divorce. *Cut to Jen sitting on a swing. Dawson walks up.*",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Jen: Hey!",
"Dawson: My mom wanted me to bring you this. It's a chicken-cheese noodle thing with way too many spices, but she's kind of proud of it so..",
"Jen: Thanks Dawson.",
"Dawson: No problem.",
"Jen: Well you sure look spiffy tonight. Where you headin'?",
"Dawson: Movies. It's the Rialto's last night.",
"Jen: You know my Grandma's going to that.",
"Dawson: Oh. So you aren't up to going?",
"Jen: No, I thought I would sit here and curse the world instead. So are you going with Joey?",
"Dawson: Yeah, who else?",
"Jen: So how did things work out between you guys? How are the two star-crossed lovers?",
"Dawson: *laughs* You know us, you know, we're just...Dawson and Joey. We'll always be Dawson and Joey. Whatever that means.",
"Jen: What about Dawson and Jen?",
"Dawson: I'd say I think you could use a friend right now more than anything else. How about it?",
"Jen: I'd like that. *They hug.*",
"Dawson: I gotta go. But don't sit here and curse the world all evening. Okay? It's beautiful out. Bye.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"*Cut to Joey sitting on the dock. Bessie walks up.*",
"Bessie: What are you doing here?",
"Joey: Nothing. Thinking about tonight.",
"Bessie: Oh, the first date. This will be interesting. *softly* Hey, what's wrong?",
"Joey: I don't know it just seems weird. I mean, Dawson and I on a date? Doesn't that seem weird to you?",
"Bessie: Well was it weird when you kissed?",
"Joey: No, that felt pretty right. But the thing is, it hasn't happened since then and it was yesterday.",
"Bessie: Well, that's not unusual, because the way I see it, the second kiss, it's always tougher than the first one.",
"Joey: We actually kissed more than once that night.",
"Bessie: Yeah, but it only counts as one and that first kiss. It's the passionate one. It's the one filled by desire and attraction, and all of that, but the second kiss is rational. You got time to worry, and over analyze and most women....they prefer that first kiss, but I'm partial to the second one because it's about something more. You'll get that second kiss Joey and when you do it'll be great. It'll be real. It'll be meaningful. *Cut back and forth. Dawson heading to Joey's on a speedboat. Joey fixing her hair. Dawson heading to Joey's. Joey putting on makeup. Dawson coming to Joey's. Joey putting on a necklace and looking in the mirror. Joey is waiting outside and Dawson is walking and they smile when they see each other and he picks a flower.*",
"Joey: Hey.",
"Dawson: Hey. It's my first act as your date. I thought - chocolates, diamonds, convertables - but I settled for foliage.",
"Joey: Foliage is good.",
"Dawson: So should we go?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Dawson: Okay. I'm really glad we've already bipassed the end of the evening \"Will she kiss me?\" drama. So, um, it should pretty much me smooth sailing from here on out.",
"Joey: Yeah, but now you have to endure the agony of \"Well, I've already kissed her so should we just check into a motel and go at it like p0rn stars?\" anxiety.",
"Dawson: I, um, I think I can handle that.",
"Joey: Good because I know a good motel.",
"Dawson: How about, um, we start with something very simple? Something that goes beyond this month's Panelist's Forum?",
"Joey: And what would that be Dawson?",
"Dawson: I would really like to hold your hand.",
"Joey: Okay. *They hold hands* *Cut to the Rialto*",
"Dawson: I can't believe they're tearing this place down.",
"Joey: They'll probably put up something horrible that will make this place even more boring then it already is.",
"Dawson: I guess all our movie watching will have to be restricted to my bedroom then. Too bad for us.",
"Joey: A fate worse than death. *They smile and then put on their \"Should we kiss\" faces. The lights dim and Joey turns towards the movie but she places her hand in Dawson's.* *Cut to Pacey standing outside the Rialto.*",
"Pacey: *Whistles* Kristy....makes me Misty...by the end of the date she will have kissed me. *Frustrated/angry* When she gets here. *Cut back to the theater and Jen enters and sits next to Dawson.*",
"Dawson: Jen? Hey.",
"Jen: I thought I'd take your advice and get out of the house for a little while.",
"Dawson: My advice? *He then turns to Joey and whispers* I don't know what she's talking about. *Jen nods.*",
"Dawson: Isn't your grandma here?",
"Jen: Yeah, yeah, I just thought I'd come sit with you guys and thought that afterwards we could go to the Icehouse and grab some food. Unless I'm not welcome.",
"Dawson: No, it's not that you're not welcome at all it's just that--",
"Jen: No, I--you know, I shouldn't have come. *She walks off.*",
"Dawson: No, Jen, Jen, Jen. *He leans back in his seat and closes his eyes.*",
"Dawson: I'll be right back. *Dawson once again leaves Joey alone.* *Cut to the lobby.*",
"Jen: You know I was just thinking..",
"Dawson: Jen!",
"Jen: I was thinking that, um, that we actually went to our first date, at this theater, and now they're tearing it down. How's that for one of your metaphors.",
"Dawson: Jen, I'm really, really sorry if I made you feel like you couldn't stay with us, allright? it's just that Joey and I kinda have some--",
"Jen: *Cuts Dawson off* The whole time that we were dating, were you really wishing that you were with Joey instead?",
"Dawson: What? No.",
"Jen: It seems a little sad, really, that I was the girl who's sole purpose was to allow you figure out who you were really in love with.",
"Dawson: Jen, please don't think of it like that, I mean, you and I had fun, we just...",
"Jen: No, we did, but I held you off. I pushed you away. And I basically ran you out of my life in the midst of all that fun. So I guess it serves me right I lost ya.",
"Dawson: You haven't lost me. I want to be a part of your life. I want to be your--",
"Jen: Friend?",
"Dawson: I'm sorry.",
"Jen: Sorry? Yeah...from being the girl next door...to the object of your affection...to the third wheel. It's been quite a ride Dawson.",
"Dawson: Jen, don't even think about this now. I mean, give yourself some time. Let yourself heal. You and I will work this all out eventually.",
"Jen: Give yourself some time? I just want to be your friend? You have to say those things, Dawson.",
"Dawson: No, I don't! I meant it!",
"Jen: Just do me one favor. All I ask, is that you don't jump Joey right away.",
"Dawson: I'm not going to jump anybody, Jen!",
"Jen: 'Cause honestly, I don't think I could handle seeing the two of you together, it'd send me to razor blades or something.",
"Dawson: Don't even joke about that.",
"Jen: Why not? This whole thing's a joke. You, me, my whole life here.",
"Dawson: Jen, c'mon, don't! *Dawson goes back to the movie theater only to find an empty seat with a flower on it.* *Cut to Pacey flipping pennies into a fountain. Kristy walks up.*",
"Kristy: Pacey?",
"Pacey: Kristy! Hey! Wow, you made it! Great! Thanks for coming. Um, I was thinking we could go get a little bit of dinner. We're probably a little too late for the movie, but that's okay.",
"Kristy: Actually I can't stay. My boyfriend's waiting for me in the car.",
"Pacey: Excuse me?",
"Kristy: Tonight's our 5 week aniversary. He wasn't too stoked that I made plans. Listen, I just had to stop by and tell you how brave I think you are.",
"Pacey: Brave?",
"Kristy: I know it's supposed to be a secret but your friend Andie told me about your condition.",
"Pacey: I'm not really following you..",
"Kristy: And I just think it's really inspiring how you can still live a normal life through the constant cloud of death.",
"Pacey: The constant cloud of what?",
"Kristy: She told me about your heart stripe.",
"Pacey: My heart stripe...ah, that.",
"Kristy: Yeah, the stripe you have right across your heart and how at any moment it could just start strangling your heart and you stop breathing and die. She said you wanted to keep in a secret, no special treatment or anything. And I really respect that. See, I suffer from asthma, and I know how much I'd hate it if anybody treated me differently because of that. Well, goodnight Pacey, and I really think that you're quite a guy.",
"Pacey: Don't mention it.",
"Boyfriend: CMON KRISTY LET'S GO!",
"Pacey: That didn't just happen. *Cut to Rialto*",
"Grams: Jennifer! *waves*",
"Jen: Fancy meeting you here. So what are you off to now? Going to find a little action now that you're a single woman?",
"Grams: Now, Jennifer, don't say those things. I know you're upset about your grandfather but--",
"Jen: No, it's not just that. Well, look at me. I'm 16 years old, look what I've become. My parents couldn't stand me so they shipped me off to you. So here I am, living in this strange town without a friend to my name, and you know what the sad thing is? Is actually that you may be the best friend I've got. I'm just not all that sure that you like me.",
"Grams: Oh, Jennifer. I know we may bicker from time to time but I love you, and with your grandfather gone, you're all I have. You're my whole world.",
"Jen: Well if I'm all you got then I pity you too.",
"Grams: Oh, Jen. *They hug.*",
"Jen: Did you like the movie?",
"Grams: Oh, well, they're not like they used to be, not like the one they showed on that first date with your grandfather. He brought me right here that night - The Rialto. You see, I didn't come tonight to watch the movie, I came to be with him.",
"Jen: I'm so sorry.",
"Grams: He was never as handsome as that night. *Cut to Pacey in a store and he spots Andie and approaches her.*",
"Pacey: *Under his breath* Oh yeah.",
"Andie: Pacey! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in bed? Hooked up to a life support system?",
"Pacey: Very funny. What the hell's a heart stripe anyways?",
"Andie: I made it up. Pretty creative don't you think?",
"Pacey: Oh yeah. *laughs sarcastically*",
"Andie: Look, Pacey. I don't even know you, but if you thought for even one second that Kristy Livingstone was gonna dump her beautiful, All-State football boyfriend for you - a Sophomore with a heart stripe? - You're massively deluded.",
"Pacey: That's great. Why don't you just rub some SALT in this open, painful wound. You know, Kristy Livingstone, she was kind of like a metaphor. You understand, the same reason I dyed my hair. I was under the impression that I could overcome my unlucky ways BUT after what's happened tonight, obviously not. Back to the old Pacey, the black sheep, the loser, the brunette!",
"Andie: Well, I think you should dye your hair back. I mean, forgive me, but it looks hideous.",
"Pacey: Thanks.",
"Andie: Don't use that.",
"Pacey: Why not?",
"Andie: That's peroxide. That's going to strip your hair of all it's color. Here, use this. Put this in for twenty minutes, and rinse. That should do the trick.",
"Pacey: You're not pulling another little prank on me here...you know, I screw you, you screw me.",
"Andie: Guess you'll just have to take that chance, won't ya? Bye Officer Pacey! *Cut to Gail and Mitch in the living room.*",
"Gail: I never thought I'd call my husband a liar.",
"Mitch: Excuse me?",
"Gail: So, tell me Mitch, why do you lie? What could you possibly gain from lying to me?",
"Mitch: G--, I have no idea what you're talking about.",
"Gail: You tell me everything is fine with us, you tell me nothing's the problem, that my worst fears are unfounded, yet, something tells me that's not what you're telling Drake, Witherspoon and Hall.",
"Mitch: It was one meeting.",
"Gail: Why? Because you want a divorce?",
"Mitch: Because I'm not sure I can stay married to a woman I love and hate in equal measure. The reason I went to see Drake is because I want to know what my options are.",
"Gail: Your options are you can either give me another chance wholeheartedly or go to Drake and write him a very large check and make our marriage another statistic. Do either one of those options sound appealing?",
"Mitch: Yes, I just don't know which one yet. *Cut to Dawson walking up on Joey on a pier.*",
"Dawson: I was hoping you might be here. This is beginning to sound like a ridiculous reframe. Joey, you have to know that I don't have any of those feelings for Jen.",
"Joey: Dawson, it's okay.",
"Dawson: It is?",
"Joey: Yes. Do you want to know why I didn't go to France? 'Cause I wanted to so badly. I mean, in France I could have started over, you know. I wouldn't be Joey the waitress, or Joey the daughter of a convict, or Joey half of the \"will they/won't they\" couple of the century. I didn't go to France because it just seemed like the easy way out, you know? The easiest escape from my life, which in spite of a few highlights is pretty pathetic. But I didn't want to take that easy way out, Dawson. It just seemed like sticking around here would only make me stronger. Then there was you too. Dawson Leery, who finally got a clue. But I have to tell you Dawson, as complicated our friendship was, it doesn't even compare to how complicated whatever you and I have here is bound to be.",
"Dawson: Really? What you and I have may never be simple...but that doesn't mean that we're not going to be scorching. Besides, who's to say that you can't have some of France right here in Capeside, hum? Here we are along the river Sende', a tour of the il de la city, the favorite spot of lovers and friends. And from here we also have a view of the magnificent structure that we simplists here in Capeside like to call....ze swingset. Granted, It's no Eiffel Tower, but it's all we got. *Joey starts swinging. Dawson sits down and they're facing opposite directions.*",
"Dawson: But don't forget about the other franc-o-fellow opportunities in town. French fries.",
"Joey: French toast.",
"Dawson: French doors. *They french kiss.*",
"Joey: French kiss. The 2nd kiss, the rational one. The one that requires thought.",
"Dawson: You know I found out what they're replacing the Rialto with. A movie theater.",
"Joey: They're replacing one theater with another?",
"Dawson: Upgrade. Bigger seats, bigger screen, bigger sound. They say it's supposed to be great.",
"Joey: But why change something if it already works?",
"Dawson: Because maybe it will work even better. It's going to be so simple Joey. You know all this talk about a 2nd kiss?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Dawson: Well, it's kind of put me in the mood for a third.",
"Joey: Me too.",
"Dawson: I told you it was going to be simple. *They kiss again*",

The camera focuses on the TV where you see a hand slowly reaching for the button to turn it off. The TV goes off and Dawson looks up to find Mitch and Gail Leery. Joey looks up, too.*",
"Dawson: Uh, Mom and Dad...hey. You remember Joey, right? *Cut to a classroom where a police officer is handing back driver's tests.*",
"Police Officer: Good job...*hands a student their paper* Good job...*hands another student their paper* Good job. *Gets to Pacey* Missed it by one point. That's too bad. We really need another juvenile delinquent ??? on the road.",
"Pacey: I knew I shouldn't have studied. See what happens when you study? *getting up and mumbling* Can't wait to enter the world of vehicular freedom. *approaches police officer* Hey, Miss. What do you think it's going to take to change just one little answer on this test? Free videos for a year?",

"Pacey: C'mon, Officer, toss me a break. It's my birthday.",
"Police Officer: Oh, it is. Really. You should have said something....Happy Birthday. *CUT TO Dawson looking in the fridge while his dad is giving him \"the talk\"*",
"Mitch: ...and because becoming sexually active is a very serious business, I think that it's time you and I talked about it.",
"Dawson: *makes that 'Oh God..' face* Dad, we were just making out.",
"Mitch: Dawson, boy-girl sleepovers are no longer within appropriate boundaries. You know, Joey isn't a little girl anymore which you seemed to have noticed.",
"Dawson: This is so surreal coming from you of all people.",
"Mitch: You know I recently saw a report on the statistical portion of adolescent s*x and contraception. *Dawson rolls his eyes.*",
"Mitch: (cont.) and a sexually active teen who doesn't use contraception stands a 90% chance of becoming pregnant within one year and with that proof less than half *fades out as Dawson closes fridge door*",
"*Cut to Joey walking up to the house. She spots Mrs. Leery and quickens her pace.*",
"Joey: Hi Mrs. Leery. *walks quickly for the door*",
"Mrs. Leery: Oh, Joey! Good. Honey, I'm glad you're here. Honey, come here a sec. *pats the seat next to her.* *Joey's like 'Ohhhh God'...*",
"Mrs. Leery: Honey, this is a terrific book. Reproduction and Repercution. It's all about preventing teen pregnancy. *Joey closes her eyes.*",
"Mrs. Leery: (cont.) So if there's anything that you would like to talk to me about...any s*x questions about anything...you know you can come to me. *Dawson comes out of the front door. He hears the last part of the conversation and looks slightly annoyed and embarressed*",
"Dawson: HEY! Look at the time. We're going to be late. LET's GO. *Joey hurredly grabs her bag and heads for the porch door.*",
"Mitch: Remember, Dawson, no hat, no glove.",
"Gail: No, Mitch, honey. That's no glove, no love.",
"Mitch: You get the point.",
"Gail: Uh, Joey? *Joey turns around. Mrs. Leery taps the book. Joey regretfully takes it. They leave.*",

"Grams: And God said, let there be light. *Jen rolls over in bed.*",
"Jen: God, what the hell?",
"Grams: Oh, don't swear, dear, God is listening.",
"Jen: Well, if he were, then he'd know that hell isn't a swear word anymore. You can say it on network tv. Besides, I'm not going to school today.",
"Grams: I'm worried about you, Jennifer. You just don't seem yourself lately.",
"Jen: I'm tired, that's all.",
"Grams: Well, then I want you scrubbed, dressed, and ready for school in 5 minutes. *singing* Rise, shine, *clap* give God your glory, glory. Children of the Lord.",
"*Jen makes a frustrated sound.* *Cut to Capeside High. Pacey slams his bike into the bike rack while Dawson watches.*",
"Dawson: You're going to kill it.",
"Pacey: I failed!",
"Dawson: Midterms?",
"Pacey: Midterms? Like I care, Dawson. I failed my driver's test.",
"Dawson: You might want to take better care of that bike then.",
"Pacey: Very funny.",
"Dawson: You're not going to believe it. Mitch and Gail have gone completely off the deep end. You should have heard them today lecturing Joey and me about the finer points of adolescent sexuality. It was momentously awkward.",
"Pacey: Okay. Did you hear nothing I just said? I failed my driver's test. Today. Of all days, today.",
"Dawson: So you can take it again.",
"Pacey: *looking confused* Yeah, but Dawson I would have really liked to have gotten it today.",
"Dawson: Today, two weeks from now, what's the big deal. Anyways, it was weird. Of course it figures. Joey and I are together for a week and my parents are already shoving condoms in my pocket.",
"Pacey: *looking even more confused* You don't have anything to say to me today?",
"Dawson: *confused* What's up with you?",
"Pacey: Uh, nothing, man. Forget about it. You got your Joey problems. *He walks away.* *Dawson looks off confused.* *Cut to Jen sitting on a pier when Pacey walks up. It looks like they're at lunch?*",
"Jen: Hey?",
"Pacey: Hey.",
"Jen: What are you bumming about?",
"Pacey: Nothing. *Jen looks down.*",
"Pacey: (cont.) I got a bad case of the Molly Ringwald's today.",
"Jen: Let's see, um, in Breakfast Club she gets a detention... in Pretty in Pink she gets dumped before prom... in Sixteen Candles everybody forgets about her birthday.. *Pacey nods.*",
"Jen: Is that it? Is today your birthday?",
"Pacey: The big 1-6. Whoopee.",
"Jen: Happy Birthday, Pace.",
"Pacey: *sincerely* Thank you. It's not so much that my family forgot me. They never make a big deal of this anyhow. But Dawson always made up something. He'd always plan some crazy outing for my birthday. We're supposed to be on a roadtrip to Maine right now, but that's obviously not going to happen.",
"Jen: Let me take a stab at it. Joey and Dawson are so caught up in their budding romantic entanglement that they've forgotten all about your birthday.",
"Pacey: I should be happy for them. I mean, I am happy for them.",
"Jen: Me too. *Pacey looks at her.*",
"Pacey: No you're not.",
"Jen: I know. *They laugh*",
"Jen: You know, I've never been one to pass up a chance at some good ol' fashioned self pity but why don't you give yourself a break? I mean, today's your birthday. Celebrate. It could be good. Remember in Sixteen Candles, how it turned out. Molly Ringwald got the hottest guy in school. Could be you.",
"Pacey: *sarcastic* Yeaaah, cake, party hats, balloons, rock on!",
"Jen: No, I'm serious. Look, so Joey and Dawson forgot all about you. So forget about them. In fact, I think they've forgotten about all of us recently. So c'mon. Live it up. Go out. Have a good time. Meet some new people.",
"Pacey: You know what? You're absolutely right. I mean, I'm sick and tired of being Dawson Leery's sidekick. I'm going to get my own storyline.",
"Jen: There you go. *Pacey gets his stuff.*",
"Pacey: Thanks. *He walks off.*",
"Jen: 'Kay. Yeah... *Cut to Jen picking up clothes from the bleachers. Abby is sitting on the bleachers. It's gym class.*",
"Abby: Well, if it isn't Miss Lindley. Well, let me guess, the lame excuse note expecting to get you out of gym landed you with cleanup duty instead.",
"Jen: Let's just not talk to each other, alright Abby? 'Cause you're obviously here for the same reason, at least you could help me clean up.",
"Abby: Sorry, sweetie. My condition prevents me from engaging in any undue (?) physical exertion. *takes out a note and reading* Please excuse Abigal Morgan from gym this semester as she suffers from pelvic reposis (?) signed Dr. James Fife, L.D.",
"Jen: Isn't that like a V.D. or something?",
"Abby: No, I made it up. Last time I was at my doctor's office I stole some letterheads. It's been invaluable. So don't tell me, you used the menstrual cramps defense. *Jen looks away as she continues picking up.*",
"Abby: God! That excuse is no good. You get out of gym but not cleanup duty. Not so bright for a big city girl. *Jen closes her eyes.*",
"Abby: Then again, your life in New York was probably just as dull as it is here in Capeside. I bet you never even got into a club.",
"Jen: The things and places I have talked myself into and out of would blow your mind.",
"Abby: Yeah, right. *looks curious* So have you ever been to The Curtain or Club Retro.",
"Jen: I did at the dorm room in Curtain and Club Retro is so five minutes ago.",
"Abby: Well what was it like?",
"Jen: What?",
"Abby: New York. I plan on moving there as soon as I graduate from this juvenile detention center. C'mon Jen tell me everything.",
"Jen: *smiling* Well, what do you want to know?",
"Abby: *smiling, too* What do you mean what do I want to know? I want to know about the guys. *They laugh* *Cut to Joey's room. Dawson is sitting on Joey's bed and Joey is laying there.*",
"Joey: You know, as long as I live, Dawson, I think I'll never be as embarressed as I was today.",
"Dawson: I know, my parents live for those coming-of-age-Wonder-Years moments.",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Dawson: My father's had that book in a drawer since I was born. *Joey laughs*",
"Dawson: All I can say is thank God it was you. I mean, can you imagine if it was just some unexpecting date I just brought home?",
"Joey: I don't know. All I know *crawling over the bed to reach for her journal* is I have to write down your dad's 'No glove, no love' line before I forget. I mean, it's practi-- *She's interrupted by Dawson pulling her over closer to him to where she's leaning on his legs and facing him.*",
"Dawson: When I think about you and me together, it's perfect. *Joey smiles.*",
"Dawson: There's none of that pretentious getting-to-know-you crap. I already know everything there is to know about you. What you think, what you feel.",
"Joey: *surprised at this* Really?",
"Dawson: Yeah.",
"Joey: *skeptical* You think you know everything about me Dawson?",
"Dawson: C'mon Joey we've spent most of our waking, and sleeping for that matter, moments together. Yes, I think it's fairly safe to say that I know everything there is to know about you. *Joey smiles again*",
"Joey: What you don't know about me, Dawson, could fill a book. *She leans in and they kiss. The baby cries in the background*",
"Joey: I hear my life calling. *She kisses him on the forehead.* I'll be right back. *Joey walks into Alexander's room and shuts the door. Dawson picks up a bottle of Joey's perfume and smells it. A picture of Joey with her mom is shown. Dawson eyes find Joey's journal and he picks it up and looks towards Alexander's room. He starts reading a page and his face falls. He sees Joey opening the door and qucikly shuts the book and throws it on the bed. Joey walks back over happily towards the bed.*",
"Joey: I thought Alexander was smiling but it turns out he just had gas. *Dawson gets up off the bed.*",
"Dawson: I'm going to get going.",
"Joey: *confused* What's wrong?",
"Dawson: Nothing.",
"Joey: I thought you had a lot of reading for today, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Um, I've done enough reading for today. *He leaves leaving a confused Joey alone.* *Cut to Pacey hanging up fliers. He stops a kid.*",
"Pacey: Hey, man. Dock party tonight. 8:00. Bailey's Port. Be there! *Pacey stapling another flier and Dawson walks up*",
"Dawson: What's going on?",
"Pacey: Throwing a party.",
"Dawson: Why?",
"Pacey: Oh, you know expanding my horizons. I'm getting older thought I would branch out and take some new chances.",
"Dawson: I accidentily read something last night in Joey's journal. *Pacey hands a flier to some girl*",
"Pacey: Want one of these?",
"Dawson: Quote. \"I'm so sick of Dawson and his stupid horror movie. I wish I could tell him how terrible it is. How stupid, and putrid, and...it was awful.\"",
"Pacey: So what? At least she didn't tell you that the sight of you gives her dry heaves or that you're a self-centered, self-absorbed, *stapling another flier* selfish..",
"Dawson: Look, obviously she has opinions about me that she hasn't been honest about. She said I was a talentless dreamer with no cinematic future.",
"Pacey: *really angry and irritated* 'Kay. No offense, Dawson, but I don't think anybody cares.",
"Dawson: I care...Pacey. I mean, I could honestly use some advice here.",
"Pacey: Oh, you want some advice? How about this: your life isn't so interesting.",
"Dawson: *confused and surprised* What?",
"Pacey: You know, I am so sick and tired of hearing about you and Joey's boring little mini-dramas. I'm going to start tearing out my fingernails for relief. Get over yourself, Dawson. Deal. *Pacey walks off angry. Dawson is confused...like always...* *Cut to Joey walking out from school and Andie runs and catches up with her.*",
"Andie: You work at the Icehouse, don't you? I saw you there a few nights ago. God, I love that place.",
"Joey: You don't get out much, do you?",
"Andie: Anyways, I'm Andie McPhee. You're Joey, right? *They shake hands*",
"Andie: (cont.) I'm a friend of Pacey Witter's. Well, kind of.",
"Joey: How bold of you to admit that.",
"Andie: Anyway, my brother Jack is looking for a job, you know, busboy, waiter, really anything. So I thought I'd put in a word for him.",
"Joey: Well, actually, we could use the help.",
"Andie: Really? Oh, that's great. He's kind of shy, but he is really smart and super nice once you get to know him.",
"Joey: Okay, well, just tell him to come in and ask for me.",
"Andie: Alright, thanks! *She walks off* *Cut to Joey walking across a bridge. Dawson catches up to her.*",
"Dawson: Joey, hey!",
"Joey: Hey. *They kiss quickly.*",
"Dawson: I was, um, cleaning out my closet this morning and I found the costume that you wore in the movie, and, um, I found the costume that you wore in my movie. And I was just thinking about how good you looked in it... *Joey smiles*",
"Dawson: (cont.) Um, in the outfit. Pretty and vulnerable. And I was just thinking...you know I hope Joey was happy with her performance in the movie. So I guess I'm asking, I'm surprised we haven't discussed this, what did you think of my movie.",
"Joey: I loved it, it was great. You know that, Dawson.",
"Dawson: You'd be honest with me, right?",
"Joey: It was amazing. Extremely talented. It's one of your many attractions. *Dawson stares off.*",
"Joey: Are you alright?",
"Dawson: I just wanted to make sure you didn't think my movie was on the, I don't know, stupid and putrid side.",
"Joey: You're acting weird. Are you having another insecurity attack? C'mon.",
"Dawson: It's really important for me to know that you think I have talent and potential in filmmaking. *Joey's face falls as she comes to a realization.*",
"Joey: *angrily* You read my journal.",
"Dawson: *defensively* You practically left it out for me to see.",
"Joey: *even more angrily* Not unless it blew open..or...or you suddenly developed X-Ray vision. I mean, God, how dare you! You invaded my privacy. I could sue you for this.",
"Dawson: What I'm curious about is what else is in that journal that you don't want me to see? What does Joey Potter really think about me?",
"Joey: Oh, right now, Dawson, you really don't want to know!",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"*CUT TO Mitch walking into a building on the pier.*",
"Mitch: Hey, Cole.",
"Cole: Hey Mitch. What's up?",
"Mitch: Ohhhh, not much. Just checking out a warehouse next door for a possible restaurant location.",
"Cole: Very cool. And?",
"Mitch: Rent's a little steep.",
"Cole: Tell me about it. 'Kay buddy, what's really up?",
"Mitch: *looks a little irritated* What do you mean what's up? Nothin'. Whatever, you know, life.",
"Cole: I've known you since the fourth grade. You look like you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders. Talk to me.",
"*Mitch sighs. Cut to: Gail planting flowers. Mrs. Ryan approaches.*",
"Mrs. Ryan: It was so kind of you to send over that delicious casserole when Mr. Ryan passed.",
"Gail: Oh, it was the least I could do. Um, I was wondering, uh, the thing is Mrs. Ryan, I really could use some advice. *Cut back to Mitch and Cole*",
"Cole: My advice is to avoid the big D at all costs, man.",
"Mitch: Well, we've tried everything. I mean, I don't know what's left.",
"Cole: If you divorce her, you'll lose everything. Not to mention becoming a weekend dad to Dawson.",
"Mitch: Believe me I know. You know, I don't even think that she'd mind if I had an affair. It would get her off the hook.",
"Cole: So why not?",
"Mitch: *surprised* What do you mean why not? I'm in a marriage. *Cut to Gail and Mrs. Ryan*",
"Mrs. Ryan: Marriage is all about enduring the jabs and blows. You must do everything and anything in your power to save it.",
"Gail: I've talked till I'm blue in the face. I've cleaned out the entire Marital Aid section at the Pleasure Palace and my Victoria Secret credit card..is maxed.",
"Mrs. Ryan: I was thinking something more along the lines of renewing your wedding vows. I wasn't suggesting that you have an affair. *Cut back to Mitch and Cole*",
"Cole: I'm not suggesting an affair. I'm talking open marriage.",
"Mitch: I knew that the seventies were back in full swing, man, but that is up there with bean bag chairs and lava lamps.",
"Cole: No, just think about it for a minute. In any given marriage you have about an 85% chance of infidelity. Human beings are just not instinctively monogamous, alright? So you take the anaquated(?) knowledge of infidelity and monogamous out of marriage and I guarantee the divorce rate in this country would be absolutely zilch. It works for me and Lisa.",
"*Mitch is thinking.* *Cut to Pacey putting fliers under car windshield wipers*",
"Andie: You know, I hate it when people plaster unsolicited material on private property.",
"Pacey: You know what, McPhee? I really wish you weren't here right now.",
"Andie: Ah, put the charm on hold for a second Pacey, I was just curious on what the occasions for.",
"Pacey: It's my going away party. I'm dying of a heart stripe. Haven't you heard?",
"Andie: Where's your sense of humor?",
"Pacey: Oh, I have a sense of humor. In fact, I have a really good sense of humor. It's just that telling a girl that I'm dying so that she'll go out with me, that's just not funny.",
"Andie: Why you would be interested in someone who's so mentally deficient that she would actually believe that she would actually believe there's such a thing as a heart stripe. *Pacey looks at her.*",
"Andie: Okay, okay. I'm sorry. So really, what's the reason for your little clambake?",
"Pacey: Are you mistaken for the impression that you're actually invited?",
"Andie: Well it says 'Come one, come all'",
"Pacey: No, you gotta read the fine print. It says 'Come one, come all except for spoiled, trust fund casualties from Rhode Island. Sorry. *Cut to Jen's room. Abby and Jen are laying on her bed. Jen hands Abby a picture.*",
"Jen: This is Charlie. The guy I was telling you about.",
"Abby: *with widened eyes* Oh my God! Look at him. Oh, God I would throw my mother off a bridge to go out with somebody like this.",
"Jen: We partied one weekend before he had to ship out....crazy.",
"Abby: I can't believe you have eyes for Dawson Leery, I mean you have lived, sister. *Jen smiles.*",
"Abby: Speaking of partying....since you're not hanging out with Forrest Gump and Company anymore, I was thinking we could do some serious partying of our own.",
"Jen: You mean like steal a pack of cigarrettes from 7-11 and hide behind the bleachers and smoke em?",
"Abby: No. I was thinking Pacey's bogus dock party. I mean, we could crack on the people there. *Jen laughs*",
"Abby: And...a little imported bubbly for our enjoyment. *she raises an eyebrow* *They laugh* *Cut to Dawson following Joey who's waitressing*",
"Dawson: Alright, so I shouldn't have read your journal but c'mon, you can't tell me that all the time that you've been alone in my room that you've never snooped.",
"Joey: Nope.",
"Dawson: Not once?",
"Joey: No. Because I, unlike you, respect your privacy.",
"Dawson: You obviously don't respect my filmmaking abilities.",
"Joey: *angered* Dawson, how I feel about you and your quest to be Spielberg are not the point. You read my journal. This is a huge privacy issue.",
"Dawson: That's exactly the point. How do you feel about my filmmaking abilities? *Jack comes interrupting.*",
"Jack: Hi. I'm, uh, Jack.",
"Joey: Can I help you?",
"Jack: Andie's brother.",
"Joey: Who's Andie?",
"Jack: My sister.",
"Joey: Look, that's fascinating. I don't mean to be rude, but I'm really busy here so if I can help you with anything..",
"Jack: I'm here to interview for the job.",
"Joey: Ohhhh, yeah right. Job. Andie's brother. Um, have you ever washed dishes before?",
"Jack: No, but I'm willing to learn.",
"Joey: Good. Use over, kitchen's that way. *Jack is a little overwhelmed.*",
"Dawson: I admit what I did was wrong, but Joey you lied to me. You've been lying to me.",
"Joey: What? Don't turn this around and make me the bad guy. You violated me. You betrayed me.",
"Dawson: Tell me, where you ever planning on telling me the truth?",
"Joey: Why should I? I just thought I'd write it all down then have you over to study!",
"Dawson: Stop making jokes, Joey. This is a really big deal. You were completely dishonest.",
"Joey: You're right, Dawson. It is a big deal. But the big deal isn't what you read. The big deal is that you read it.",
"Dawson: I apoligized for that already!",
"Jack: Excuse me? Do you have a second? Could you please tell your sister I work here now? She's not letting me in the kitchen. *He walks away.*",
"Dawson: I'm glad I read it actually. Because now I realize I don't think I know you at all.",
"Joey: Maybe you don't, Dawson. Maybe you never did. *Cut to Pacey stringing up lights on the dock and Andie walks up decked out for the party in a bikini top and skirt.*",
"Andie: Hi.",
"Pacey: Hi if it isn't Andie McPhee the rich girl in town. What happened? They cancel your polo match?",
"Andie: Look, Pacey, if you want me to leave I will.",
"Pacey: No, no, that's okay. Actually, you're the only person I recognize here, and I ask ya, how sad is that?",
"Andie: Don't worry. Parties always take awhile to get going. Though you might have worked a DJ into your budget.",
"Pacey: 'Kay. Can't say it hasn't been pleasant talking to you, but don't you think you should get out and mingle and meet some new people?",
"Andie: Yeah, I probably should. But new people make me nervous. I never know what to say and then eventually I just clam up totally.",
"Pacey: Are you joking? Because you haven't stopped talking since the moment I met you.",
"Andie: Well, you don't make me nervous. You make me mad. Mad beats nervous.",
"Pacey: 'Kay, why don't you just go mingle now? Yeah?",
"Andie: You go mingle.",
"Pacey: Okay.",
"Andie: Okay....hey! You're in luck. Another varsity cheerleader/rocket scientist and she's checkin' you out.",
"Pacey: She's looking at me? *Andie nods.*",
"Pacey: You know, I haven't had a whole lot of luck with the senior cheerleaders this year.",
"Andie: Luck has nothing to do with it. Some older women happen to like younger men. *Pacey kind of laughs.*",
"Andie: So, go ahead. Go talk to her. What have you got to lose?",
"Pacey: Oh, I don't know, dignity, humility, face...",
"Andie: It's not like you had any of those in the first place.",
"Pacey: You know what McPhee? I really wish I made you nervous. *She gives that 'I'm glad I'm ticking you off' smile* *As Pacey walks towards the girl some people are playing volleyball and it hits Pacey in the back of the head. He shrugs it off and takes a drink of his soda. Then he sees some guy pick up the girl he was going to talk to. He walks down the dock until he comes upon a group of 4 girls in a boat.*",
"Pacey: Hey Ladies. Havin' a good time?",
"OneGirl: What is this? *she dumps her drink out on the ground. Pacey keeps walking and bumps into two people. They laugh. Pacey laughs sarcastically*",
"Pacey: Sooo funny! *Dawson approaches the dock in a speedboat. Pacey notices.* *Cut to Jen and Abby on the dock, obviously a little drunk*",
"Jen: How many drinks have I had? Because I think three is my limit before I get really wild.",
"Abby: Tooo laaatteee *swings the wine bottle through the air* *They laugh* *Jen takes another drink and falls down and starts laughing.*",
"Abby: Okay, I bet you the rest of this bottle that you don't have the berries(?) to kiss the next guy that comes up those stairs.",
"Jen: Well, you're on, sister friend! *They laugh as Dawson comes up the stairs and Jen turns around*",
"Jen: DAWSON! *kisses him* *Dawson pries her arms off him*",
"Dawson: Whoa Jen! What are you doing? What is wrong with you? *Jen smiles instantly and then slowly goes down the stairs*",
"Abby: *pushes Dawson* Nice going, Romeo. *Dawson stands there surprised.* *Cut to Joey at the Icehouse. She's staring out the window then she goes back to washing the tables off. Jack is looking at her.*",
"Joey: What?",
"Jack: Nothing. *Joey walks over*",
"Jack: First fight?",
"Joey: What?",
"Jack: With your boyfriend.",
"Joey: Hardly. Well, actually, um, yeah, as girlfriend and boyfriend. I mean, as friends we fought constantly but it's different now.",
"Jack: Which means you haven't had your first makeup either. *Joey looks at him.*",
"Jack: Go ahead, I'll lock up.",
"Joey: I can't. I mean, Bessie would kill me, but thanks.",
"Jack: What? You think I'm going to take off with your secret recipe for tarter sauce? *whispers* It's not that good.",
"Joey: Oh. *smiles* Think you can handle it?",
"Jack: Turn off lights, lock the door...",
"Joey: What the hell? Thanks Jack. *hands him her apron.* *As she leaves she hears a glass drops, she stops for a second but keeps going.* *Cut to Dawson and Pacey*",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Pacey: *angrily* What's up?",
"Dawson: Alright, look, I don't know what's going on between us but obviously it's something that set you off.",
"Pacey: Me? I can't imagine what that would be. Hm.",
"Dawson: Look, I'm about 2 seconds away from blowing it with Joey. You and I know everything about each other and I really need your advice.",
"Pacey: You know everything about me, huh? You know how I got this scar on my chin? You know why my father hates me? You know why I ride the fine line between insecurity and self-confidence? Correct me if I'm wrong, Dawson, but you don't know the answer to any of those questions. In fact, I bet you don't even know when I was born! *Dawson thinks and realizes he forgot.*",
"Dawson: Oh my God. Oh my, it's your birthday. Oh, Pacey I'm so sorry, God. I'm such an idiot you were trying to tell me all day it was your birthday, too. And you were supposed to get your driver's license today.",
"Pacey: Yeah but that didn't work out either. But I bet you forgot that too, didn't you?",
"Dawson: No, we were supposed to go to Maine. I can't believe I forgot. Look, I'll make it up to you. Tomorrow night, you and me we'll do whatever you want.",
"Pacey: Do you see this look on my face that I'm trying so hard to conceal? It has nothing to do with my birthday. It has nothing to do with the driver's test and it certainly has nothing to do with roadtripping to Maine. I came to this dark realization that everyone in Capeside has either written me off, demanding me unworthy of their time or their concerns AND the conclusion that I came to today, on my 16th birthday, is that my best friend in the world looks at me the very same way.",
"Dawson: Pacey! How can I fix this?",
"Pacey: You can't. Everything's different now. You've got Joey and our friendship just doesn't compare to what you two have, okay? I'm just not a third wheel type. Maybe we'll take that roadtrip next year. *Cut to Dawson's house. Mitch is reading and Gail comes in.*",
"Gail: Good book? You know I was thinking about doing some redecorating. *Mitch keeps on reading.*",
"Gail: Any thoughts?",
"Mitch: No, whatever you think. *Gail starts kissing him on the head and moves lower. Mitch gets up.*",
"Mitch: I don't want a divorce, Gail, but, um, we've gotta make some changes here and move on. Living life status quo is killing us.",
"Gail: I know.",
"Mitch: Okay, um, I was talking to a friend of mine about s*x within the marriage and s*x outside of the marriage and how it's a common factor in most marital problems.",
"Gail: We take the s*x out of our marriage?",
"Mitch: God, no. This is about honesty. And we've lost that. And I just need to, we gotta open this thing up and explore some new possibilities. And I grant you it's a paradox to try to reclaim honesty by...by..",
"Gail: By what? Reclaim our honesty by what?",
"Mitch: Gail, do you wanna try having an open marriage? *She laughs but considers it.* *Cut to Dawson in the rain. He spots Joey. He smiles. They walk towarsd each other. It's romantic. They get closer to each other and they lean in and Joey puts her head on Dawson's shoulder and he does the same on hers. Awwwwwwwww. Cut to Dawson and Joey sitting on a ledge. The rain has stopped.*",
"Dawson: I forgot Pacey's birthday. I'm his best friend and I forgot his 16th birthday.",
"Joey: Is he alright?",
"Dawson: No. He's really hurt and he's angry and he's not speaking to me. And I really don't blame him.",
"Joey: Sorry Dawson.",
"Dawson: Yeah, I pretty much suck. You know how Leery is. You know what it is, Joey, maybe I am the world's worst filmmaker. Maybe I'd be better off being a cook(?) somewhere. Maybe all my dreams are bogus and maybe there will be people lined up from here to Hollywood someday to tell me that. I just never thought you'd be one of them.",
"Joey: Dawson, I'm not going to let you off the hook for what you did. I mean, it was wrong of you to go inside of my head and take my thoughts and my feelings without my consent.",
"Dawson: Joey, I know. Believe me, I know. I'm so sorry I ever read them.",
"Joey: Though, I don't owe you any explanation, I do owe you the truth because I have always been honest with you. The truth is...I've had these feelings for you for a long time, Dawson. And I hit a yearning, I've been squelching. I don't know, somedays it would just make me so mad at me, and us, and I had to take it somewhere and unleash it. It's my way of coping. It's where I go to trash life. And so it's not necessarily the truth, it's what I'm feeling at that particular day at that particular time. I save the truth for you, Dawson. I've always believed in you. I mean, you're the most extraordinary, talented person that I've ever met. I'm your biggest fan.",
"Dawson: I'm glad I don't know everything about you because everyday you amaze me. *There's a silence and Joey smiles.*",
"Joey: Good! *They laugh and lean in and kiss* *Cut to Jen and Abby*",
"Abby: You can bet those two won't be the poster couple for abstinence much longer.",
"Jen: What? Joey and Dawson? Yeah right. Jo will hold out and then he'll get sick and tired of it.",
"Abby: Oh come on. They've been sleeping together in the same bed. There's not much more you need to know about each other if you know what I mean.",
"Jen: No, they're like brother and sister. I mean, Dawson even told me so himself. He doesn't ever think of her sexually.",
"Abby: Well, maybe they're pretending like they're in Kentucky.",
"Jen: Abby that doesn't help.",
"Abby: What?",
"Jen: Look at me, I'm a mess.",
"Abby: Oh, don't say that. You have more style and s*x appeal in your little finger then that white trash loser.",
"Jen: I want him back.",
"Abby: God, why?",
"Jen: 'Cause I love him.",
"Abby: Look, that's just the booze talking.",
"Jen: No, I'm serious. I love him and I want him back.",
"Abby: Alright. Then we're going to get him back for you. *Jen smiles.*",
"Jen: 'Kay. *Cut to Pacey sitting on a dock. Andie walks up.*",
"Andie: This is for you. *She hands him a gift.* It's not much. *Pacey looks at the gift.*",
"Andie: Well it is your birthday, isn't it?",
"Pacey: How'd you know?",
"Andie: I'm psychic. Okay, I heard you and that guy, Dawson, arguing about it. I had it in the car, anyways. I was going to give it to my brother for Christmas but I kind of, well, forgot about it. Anyway, go ahead. Open it. *Pacey opens it. It's a Magic 8 Ball*",
"Andie: Ask it a question.",
"Pacey: Will I pass my driver's test on the next try? *He shakes it. They read the answer.*",
"Pacey: Signs point to yes. What is my future? *Shakes it*",
"Pacey: Cannot predict now. Here.",
"Andie: Okay um.. *She shakes it and accidentily drops it into the water.*",
"Andie: Oh no! I'm sorry.",
"Pacey: That can't be a good sign.",
"Andie: I'm sorry.",
"Pacey: *shrugs* It's the thought that counts.",
"Andie: I've always been this complete clutz. Some things never change.",
"Pacey: Everything changes. Everybody changes. 'Cept for me. Take this stupid party for example. I thought I could be Pacey Witter, the guy who throws a good party but no, I'm still Pacey Witter, the guy who's failing biology, but now I'm a year older.",
"Andie: You know, maybe you're just Pacey Witter the guy who's still trying to figure it out.",
"Pacey: Well..",
"Andie: What?",
"Pacey: We are so deep. *Cut to Dawson and Joey making out on the dock*",
"Dawson: Hey you think you can get home okay? I've got to get back. I've got to try to talk to Pacey.",
"Joey: Yeah. *She kisses him and kisses him on the forehead.* I'll be fine. *Cut to Jen's house. Jen's looking in the mirror. Cut to Dawson and Pacey.*",
"Pacey: Ah, the perfect end to a perfect party.",
"Dawson: Listen Pacey, I've been a really lousy friend lately and there is no excuse for forgetting your birthday but it's not because I've written you off, alright? This Joey thing has been so incredibly confusing and complicated and..",
"Pacey: Dawson, Dawson, Dawson, it's okay, man. I'm happy for you two. You deserve happiness. GOD KNOWS it took long enough. The only thing that I was trying to say is there are certain things that I'm going to miss as your friend but that's natural you know? No big deal",
"Dawson: It's a very big deal. Maybe my actions have not exactly tested that lately but just because everything is complicated and everything is changing but nothing is ever going to change so much that you're not going to be my best friend. *Pacey smiles and there's silence.*",
"Pacey: Are we having a moment?",
"Dawson: Yeah I think we are....Let's go.",
"Pacey: Alright. *They get in the boat.*",
"Dawson: Man, that's really too bad about your license.",
"Pacey: No, that's alright. I can take the test again in a couple weeks.",
"Dawson: Well maybe you need some more practice.",
"Pacey: Oh, please. You and I both know I've been breaking that state law for at least the last 3 years.",
"Dawson: No, I mean right now.",
"Pacey: What?",
"Dawson: I know where the keys to the Mitch mobile are.",
"Pacey: Dawson, please. Your father would kill you.",
"Dawson: Don't wuss out on me now Pacey.",
"Pacey: Listen, Dawson, we're cool you don't have to do this now.",
"Dawson: Maybe I want to. *They start speeding off in the boat*",
"Dawson: Pacey?",
"Pacey: Yeah?",
"Dawson: Happy Birthday.",
"Pacey: Thanks, bro."

"Mitch: Now don't give me that look. I know there's been a lot of late night creeping around and I'm just taking some standard precautions. *Dawson and his dad start walking back towards the front door*",
"Dawson: You are so in denial.",
"Mitch: Excuse me?",
"Dawson: Denial. You can't except the fact that the little boy that you brought into the world is grown up. I mean, he's a sexual being.",
"Mitch: Are you having s*x with Joey? *Dawson reaches for the door*",
"Dawson: No, I did not say that, but I am a sexual being responsible, mind you, but biologically a sexual being. *They go inside*",
"Mitch: A sexual being?",
"Dawson: Yep, and you are having trouble facing that reality. Dad, it's a typical parental problem. Do you know what?",
"Mitch: No, what?",
"Dawson: The sooner you accept that, the sooner you and I will have an honest relationship.",
"Mitch: Mm-hm. Dawson. Are you...and Joey...having s*x?",
"Dawson: No!",
"Mitch: No?",
"Dawson: No!",
"Mitch: Thank you. *Dawson starts heading towards the stairs and up them*",
"Dawson: But one day, down the road, I'm going to have s*x. And you're acting all paranoid...chucking ladders and locking windows is not going to stop me. Please, will you stop acting like a typical *makes the little quote unquote hand gesture* parent and just let things take their natural course. Let Joey and me hang out in my room, alone at night, unsupervised. *There's a break. Mitch thinks.*",
"Mitch: No. *Mitch walks into Dawson's bedroom and looks around*",
"Dawson: Why not?",
"Mitch: Because, Dawson, the fact is I am a parent, alright? I am you parent and it's my duty to be paranoid about my 15 year old son upstairs in my own house having s*x!",
"Dawson: You are so un-enlightened. Didn't you grow up in the 60s? *Mitch laughs.*",
"Mitch: You can psychologically deconstruct me all you want, but here's the deal. *points to him* Parent me. *points to Dawson* Child you, alright? *He walks towards the doorway* Parent, me. Child...you. *He leaves and shuts the door* *Dawson smiles and looks towards the closet as the doors open and Joey climbs out and smiles. She walks towards him.*",
"Dawson: He is such a tyrant. *Joey puts her arms around his neck.*",
"Joey: You handled him well.",
"Dawson: You think so? *They start kissing and Dawson's dad opens the door again catching them. Dawson and Joey smile.*",
"Dawson: *acting surprised* Joey? What are you doing here? *They laugh.*",
"Mitch: Uh, Joey, will you come with me please? *turning to Dawson* What did I just say, Dawson, what did I just say!",
"Dawson: You, Jane, Me Tarzan?",
"Mitch: No. Parent, me, grounded, you.",
"Joey: Bye Dawson. *Mitch and Joey start to walk away. Dawson follows them out to the hall*",
"Dawson: Bye Joey. I'll see you in a few minutes. *Joey turns around and looks at him*",
"Mitch: No you won't. *Joey's house, a tea kettle is whistling on the stove. Joey walks in.*",
"Joey: Bessie, your water's boiling.",
"Bessie: What?",
"Joey: Nevermind. *Bessie walks in with the baby*",
"Bessie: Joey, I'm so glad you're still here. Yesterday I got a call from the health department. They're planning on doing an inspection on the Icehouse sometime this week. Can you go over there?",
"Joey: Now?",
"Bessie: Yeah, just make sure everything is put away and spic-and-span. You know, the last thing I need is the health department slapping us with some big, huge fine or, God forbid, shutting us down. *Joey is grabbing her backpack*",
"Joey: You seem to be forgetting something and it's called first period.",
"Bessie: Oh, come on, Joey, it will only take a minute and I've got to take Alexander to the sitter's.",
"Joey: He's missing a shoe.",
"Bessie: Alexander! You kicked off your shoe! *hands the baby to Joey* Here Joey, can you hold him? Look, Joey, please just do me this one favor. Go by the Icehouse *putting a shoe on Alexander* on your way to school. Please, will you?",
"Joey: Fine, here! *with an irritated attitude* I gotta go then!",
"Bessie: Hang on. *takes the baby* Here, here, here. Oh, and Joey, while you're there can you just wipe down the counters real quick so it looks clean?",
"Joey: Fine.",
"Bessie: Oh, and the freezer! Can you mop behind the freezer? I can't even remember the last time we did that. *Joey just stands there.*",
"Bessie: Thanks, Joey, you're the greatest! *Cut to Dawson's house. Mitch is reading the paper when Dawson comes into the room.*",
"Mitch: If it isn't the sexual being himself.",
"Dawson: You know what I was thinkin'?",
"Mitch: No, but I'm sure you're going to tell me.",
"Dawson: Don't even try to tell me that when you were my age you weren't sneaking around making out with girls in the backs of cars and movie theaters.",
"Mitch: You're right, I was. *Dawson raises his hands like he's proven his point.*",
"Mitch: But that was the whole fun of being 15, Dawson. It was the fear of getting caught that made it more dangerous and exciting.",
"Dawson: So by restricting my access to Joey what you're really trying to do is liven up my s*x life? *He walks towards the kitchen where Mrs. Leery is.* Did you hear that, Mom?",
"Gail: What s*x life?",
"Mitch: No, now you're twisting my words again, Dawson. Go to school. *Dawson laughs*",
"Dawson: Did you ever notice that whenever your parental authority is in question that you just start barking out orders?",
"Mitch: Go. Now. *Dawson kisses Mrs. Leery on the cheek.*",
"Dawson: Bye Mom.",
"Gail: Bye honey. *Dawson leaves.*",
"Mitch: You know, I think our son is training to be a lawyer. He has become the master of manipulation.",
"Gail: I wonder where he learned that.",
"Mitch: Meaning?",
"Gail: Meaning that you both can come to incredible rationalizations especially when it comes to acting out your sexual impulses.",
"Mitch: Oh, listen, Gail, this whole idea of an open marriage...it's exactly that. It's an idea. I'm not going to force you into anything if you're against it. You against it?",
"Gail: Well I'm not for it, but if that's what it takes...",
"Mitch: No, enough said.",
"Gail: No, if what you need is to get even with me and sow your oats then..",
"Mitch: Gail! Let's just drop it. Drop the whole thing. I don't want to fight about it.",
"Gail: You don't?",
"Mitch: No.",
"Gail: I love you, Mitch. *She kisses him.* I'll see you after work.",
"Mitch: Have a good one. *Cut to Capeside High* *Abby and Jen are walking down the sidewalk*",
"Abby: I have a very important question for you and I need an answer immediately.",
"Jen: What is it?",
"Abby: Who would you rather have s*x with...Trey Carter or Jeff Birdwin?",
"Jen: Uhh neither.",
"Abby: Are you crazy? Look at them.",
"Jen: What? They're a couple of gym junkies. They have no cultural interests, no inner lives of their own...all they do is play football and swap pornos. They're a couple of (missed word)",
"Abby: Yeah, but it's like they're so completely disgusting that it's almost erotic. You know what I mean? God, I can't believe I'm friends with someone who only has eyes for Dawson Leery.",
"Jen: Guilty as charged.",
"Abby: Please! You're making me ill. Jen, look at me. I have three words for you: make it happen.",
"Jen: Abby..",
"Abby: No! Don't \"Abby\" me. Make it happen. *Cut to Andie coming in the school doors and walking towards Pacey*",
"Andie: Pacey, wait, I need your help.",
"Pacey: Oh, God...here we go. Okay, Andie, I'm having a really mellow morning. I haven't had any car accidents, I haven't been diagnosed with any terminal defects, and I'd really just kind of like to keep a low pro so goodbye.",
"Andie: Yeah, look, I'm sure there are a thousand dimwits with highlights and C-cups that you'd rather be talking to but you're the only person I know in Econ. so here's the deal. I left my backpack in my locker yesterday...can I borrow your notes over the reading?",
"Pacey: I don't actually have any notes because I didn't do the reading. Don't give me the homework guilt trip, alright? That's what I have parents for.",
"Andie: Did I say anything? I did not say anything. I'm just freaking out because what if Mr. Matick(?) calls on me in class?",
"Pacey: Then you do what I always do, you say 'Pass.'",
"Andie: Pacey, I don't say 'pass'. 'Pass' is not in my vocabulary. There's just, there's just no way.",
"Pacey: Okay, settle down, it's just one homework assignment. It's not like you're flunking out of school.",
"Andie: Yeah, I know that, but you get behind by one day, then you're always struggling to catch up. And then you just get more and more confused and then, next thing you know, you're out on the street, drunk and dirty wheeling a shopping cart. *Pacey leans down on his knees.*",
"Pacey: Andie, you're rich. Rich people don't end up on the street, they end up in Florida.",
"Andie: Mmm. *The bell rings*",
"Pacey: Oh no, you're doomed!",
"Andie: Come on! You've got to help me. I mean, do you know anybody that's in there? Do you know anybody that I could borrow notes from? *Cut to Econ. class*",
"Teacher: And finally what is the difference between macroeconomics and microeconomics? Andie?",
"Andie: Um...microeconomics is...microeconomics is when...*she glances over at a kid with his hand up* *quietly* Pass.",
"Teacher: I'm sorry, what did you say?",
"Andie: *louder* Pass. *Pacey gives her a thumbs up sign*",
"Teacher: Kenny?",
"Kenny: Microeconomics is the study of whole economic systems and how they inter-relate.When macroeconomics is study of individual areas of economic activity....like corporations.",
"Teacher: Very good, well put. Thank you Kenny. Which leads me to your assignment. We're going to focus on the microeconomics of the family household. This week you're going to pair up and play a game I like to call \"Alternative Lifestyles\".",
"*Joey looks over at Dawson*",
"Teacher: (cont.) Now, in this hat, are all your names. You're going to choose a partner, I will assign you identities and then you are to prepare an extensive annual budget for your fictional household. I strongly recommend research trips into the field. How much money will you have to spend a year on food, clothing, travel? Now these are questions that every household must ask. And these are the questions I want you to answer. So let's begin. *He holds the hat above Andie.* Andie? *Andie picks one*",
"Andie: Pacey Witter...",
"Teacher: You and Pacey are a lower middle class family with three children. Pacey you're a busdriver. Andie you're a salesclerk. *Abby picks*",
"Abby: Kenny Reily? Mr. Matick is it possible to switch partners?",
"Teacher: No, it's not. *Jeff Birdwin picks*",
"Jeff: Trey Carter. *They high five.*",
"Teacher: You two, will be a well-to-do, same s*x couple. Trey you're going to be a pediatrician, Jeff you are an advertising executive.",
"Trey: What do you mean as in same s*x?",
"Teacher: Well, as in gay. And you're planning on getting married so your wedding expenses will have to be factored into your budget.",
"Trey: What do you mean gay? *Dawson picks.*",
"Dawson: *disappointed* Jen Lindley.",
"Teacher: Okay, a wealthy couple, Dawson you're a stockbroker and Jen, you're an engineer. You've got two kids in college, a house at the beach, annual income, $400,000 a year. Last, but not least, Joey Potter. Odd woman out. That's okay, Joey, you will be a single successful single mother raising two kids on your own. Is that everybody? Good luck and don't spend all your money in one place. *Cut to cafeteria. Joey and Dawson.*",
"Joey: This assignment is so lame. Pretending to be people we're never going to be, spending money we're never going to have, I mean, what's the point?",
"Dawson: The point is getting us thinking about economic problems that we will be facing in the real world.",
"Joey: Well, I hate to break it to you, Peter Pan, but some of us are already dealing with those problems. I mean this just gets me thinking about the future and how I have absolutely no idea about what I want to do with my life.",
"Dawson: You have an idea.",
"Joey: No, I don't. Admit it, Dawson, you've got it all mapped out. You're going to go off to Hollywood, become some high profile movie director, make millions of dollars, get a drug addiction, end up at the Betty Ford Center, marry some...",
"Dawson: *laughing* Excuse me?",
"Joey: When I close my eyes and think about where I'll be in 10 years it's blank, I have no idea.",
"Dawson: You will, someday.",
"Joey: This project is just going to depress me.",
"Dawson: I think it will be fun.",
"Joey: Oh, really, and are you as excited to partner up with Jen as she is? The look on her face was classic, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Well, you have nothing to worry about. *Joey spots Jen.*",
"Joey: Famous last words...",
"[Image]",
"*Abby and Jen at lunch. Jen is staring over at Dawson.*",
"Abby: Ah, Jen, you're drooling! Look this is the moment of truth. You're going to be working with him all week long so the question is...are you going to be pantive and massikistic and piss me off? Or are you going to be proactive and grab him by the dipstick and make me proud!",
"Jen: Abby, it's not that simple, alright? Take a look at him. He's totally into Joey. He's in love with her.",
"Abby: He's a 15-year-old boy. He doesn't know what love is. All he does know is that he goes to sleep everynight jerkin' his gherkin and he wakes up every morning humping his mattress. *They laugh* *Kenny walks up.*",
"Kenny: Excuse me, Abby? Hey.",
"Abby: What? Who are you?",
"Kenny: I'm Kenny Reily, I'm your partner in Econ.",
"Abby: No you're not. Go away.",
"Kenny: Look, I thought we should talk about our assignment.",
"Abby: Um, could you just do the assignment and put my name on it? That'd be great. Thanks, Bye! *Kenny walks off*",
"Abby: Anyways, I think it's time for a little bit of this New York City aggression. I mean, you have to show him the old, naughty Jen because this new Jen just isn't workin'. I mean, you're going to working together the whole week. It's the perfect opportunity. Late night study sessions, role playing like you guys are husband and wife...you can remind him of what a great couple you used to be and how compatible you two are.",
"Jen: I don't know. I don't want to jump the gun, you know?",
"Abby: I want you to jump the gun. His gun, and I want all the gory details. *Cut to the Icehouse. Jack is mopping. He dumps the water on the floor.*",
"Joey: What are you doing? Haven't you ever mopped before? You dip the mop in the bucket, you don't dump the water on the floor.",
"Jack: Look, I know I've made a few blunders, but I'm not a screw-up.",
"Joey: Here. I'll do it. Don't worry about it. Just go wipe off the counters. *Bessie walks in*",
"Bessie: What is going on here? Is something flooding?",
"Joey: No, Jack...nevermind. I've taken care of it, but can we save some of this clean-up for tomorrow?",
"Bessie: No way! This week we have to stay on top of everything. I'm so paranoid that the health department is just going to jump down our throats.",
"Joey: It's just that I have this huge Econ. project due Friday. It's worth 1/3 of my grade. I have to prepare a household budget for a single career mother and I have no idea what I'm doing.",
"Bessie: I'm virtually a single career mother. I can help you.",
"Joey: No thanks, Bessie. You're not exactly the model for this assignment. First of all, she's a super successful career woman with $160,000 annual income.",
"Bessie: Joey, maybe I'm not super successful but if there's one thing I know how to do it's budget money.",
"Joey: You know, you're right. I should get some advice. I should find a single career mother who's living this assignment and ask her for help.",
"Bessie: I can do it. You keep cleaning, and I'll advise.",
"Joey: Thanks, Bess, but you can barely get your bills paid on time. Thanks for the offer but I think I'll find somebody else. *Cut to a coffee place.*",
"Pacey: Dude, check out this Viper.",
"Andie: Pacey, can you please put that down for one second? Is that possible? We are seriously over-budget by like $30,000.",
"Pacey: I don't need the jacuzzi. As long as I get this Viper, everything will be alright.",
"Andie: Pacey, you are a bus driver, and I am a salesclerk. We're not getting any Viper. Okay, I think the first decision that we should make should me where we're going to live. Since we have 3 kids, we should get a four-bedroom house.",
"Pacey: Kids don't need their own rooms. You know, not everyone gets to grow up like you, very princess.",
"Andie: I want a divorce.",
"Pacey: Granted. We can split the cash, you can keep the kids, I'll take the car.",
"Andie: That is so typical. Doesn't that sicken you that you're living up to the most common embase of all male stereotypes? You don't care about your wife and kids, no. All you care about is this overpriced piece of metal.",
"Pacey: Hey it's got passenger side airbags. Look, I want a Viper. That's it. End of story.",
"Andie: Okay, compromise. You'll get your Viper. If and only if we can find a buyable two-bedroom apartment.",
"Pacey: And how are we supposed to do that?",
"Andie: Well, Mr. Matick said we should do some research in the field so..let's go apartment scouting. *Cut to Mitch doing some work when a car pulls up and Gail and another guy pull up. The guy hands Gail her briefcase and she kisses him on the cheek. Mitch goes back to his work and Gail walks towards him.*",
"Gail: Hi honey. Where's Dawson?",
"Mitch: He's, uh, studying next door.",
"Gail: What a day.",
"Mitch: Yeah, I'll bet.",
"Gail: I missed a deadline, the car wouldn't start, Frank from accounting had to give me a ride home.",
"Mitch: Why didn't you call me?",
"Gail: I thought it'd be easier if I got a ride.",
"Mitch: With Frank from accounting.",
"Gail: Please, don't tell me your mad about that.",
"Mitch: Look, Gail, I know that Frank just gave you a ride home, alright? But I can't stop how I feel. There's no trust here, no honesty. I don't know what to do to get it back. I don't know maybe this idea of an open, this open marriage thing.",
"Gail: Mitch..",
"Mitch: No, no, wait, wait, just here me out. Maybe, by taking away the rules, I can take away the need to trust you, and we can get back some of what we lost.",
"Gail: Meaning?",
"Mitch: Meaning from this moment on Thursday night is date night, we can go out with whomever we want, do whatever we want, when whatever we want, and the only rule is that we're honest about it. See, there's no need to lie, an open marriage allows us that.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"*Cut to Dawson and Jen in Jen's room.*",
"Dawson: Um, maybe we should send our kid's to state school. It would be a hell of a lot cheaper.",
"Jen: Dawson, if we had kids they'd be Ivy League material.",
"Dawson: These prices are astronomical. According to our tax bracket, we would have to earn $60,000 a year to send one kid to one year of college. *Jen is laughing.*",
"Dawson: What are you laughing at?",
"Jen: This conversation. I mean, listen to us talking about our mortgages, how we're going to afford to send our kids to college, I don't know, it's like we're actually married. Who knows maybe 20 years on down the line...could be us.",
"Dawson: I think these travel expenses are a little bit unrealistic. I mean, we're going to want to go someplace warm in the winter, right?",
"Jen: Yeah, somewhere like the Florida Keys...I've never been to Hawaii.",
"Dawson: Jamaica.",
"Jen: How 'bout Figi?",
"Dawson: Figi! I could totally do Figi. That'd be cool. Um, we should, um, call our travel agent, do some price checking. Should we take the kids?",
"Jen: No. They're in college they probably won't want to go with us.",
"Dawson: They'll probably be sick of us.",
"Jen: Besides, if we go alone it'd be much more romantic. Well, Dawson, we've agreed on practically every aspect of married life, I don't think we could be more compatible. *Dawson just lifts his eyebrow.*",
"Jen: *puts her head on his shoulder.* You know, it's kind of a relief that you and me can still hang out.",
"Dawson: Yeah...",
"Jen: You know, it's funny. I have these moments when I feel as if nothing's really changed between us. *Dawson just stares off.*",
"Jen: Kind of like right now.",
"Dawson: Well, I think we've done enough work for tonight. What do you think? *He gets up and heads for the door*",
"Jen: Um, Dawson, if you happen to get any inspiration on the assignment or just want to talk or whatever, I'm here for you. My door's always open. If you know what I mean.",
"Dawson: I think so. I'll see you tomorrow.",
"Jen: Bye.",

"*Andie and Pacey are apartment scouting*",
"Andie: What is that?",
"Landlord: Rat trap. We have a little vermon infestation, not a big deal.",
"Andie: You're renting the place, as is?",
"Landlord: Yep. As is.",
"Andie: Still want that Viper?",
"Pacey: What are we doing here? Are we doing this project or are we moving in together? We've looked at twelve different apartment buildings and for what?",
"Andie: Research. Mr. Matick told us to do research.",
"Pacey: Yeah but the assignment is due tomorrow and we don't have a thing on paper.",
"Andie: Is that my fault?",
"Pacey: Yes! It is your fault. You're the one that's been leading us on this ridiculous apartment scavenger hunt. *They're walking down the stairs*",
"Andie: I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I actually got into this project, Pacey. I'm sorry I'm not the biggest slacker on the planet.",
"Pacey: After all this, you still think I'm lazy.",
"Andie: No, Pacey, there's lazy and then there's you. Are you trying to win some teen rebel award? I mean, do you think it's cool to give the finger to everything and everyone that doesn't fit into your little self-destructive agenda.",
"Pacey: Let's get one thing straight. You don't know me.",
"Andie: Well enlighten me. My econ. grade depends on it.",
"Pacey: Okay, you want the broken record? Here it is. Since before the dawn of time, I have been designated the black sheep of my family. This label is permanent. I can't erase it, and I can't trade it in for a new one. I could bring home an 'A' in econ. or an 'F'. I could bring home the Nobel Peace Prize and it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference. So Miss Perky you try growing up in a family atmosphere like that and see if you can stay motivated.",
"Andie: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.",
"Pacey: No, of course not. You were too busy getting into character. \"Oh I'm just a salesclerk, a poor little salesclerk look for an apartment.\" You want to know the reason this assignment is so fascinating to you? In reality, you've never had a problem in your life. You drive around in your Saab, you buy your new clothes, and you basically throw your money away. The idea that people actually have to budget their money is like some novelty to you. You're rich and you're spoiled and that's what it comes down to!",
"Andie: You know what, you're right. I don't know anything about me and you know even less about me so just leave me alone!",
"Pacey: Andie, wait, I....",
"Landlord: So..are you going to take the apartment? *Cut to Joey looking at a model of a house*",
"MissWeston: Hi.",
"Joey: Hi. I'm Joey Potter. Thank you so much for seeing me Miss Weston.",
"MissWeston: Oh please, Joey, call me Laura.",
"Joey: Anyways, I know you're probably really busy but I'm preparing this household budget for Mr. Matick in your name since you're the living embodiment of a single, successful career woman. *She laughs*",
"Joey: What's so funny?",
"MissWeston: I don't know, I never thought I'd someday be thought of as the embodiment of a successful career woman. *to some guy* Dayle, can you bring me the filing portfolio? I need to look at it before the meeting. *the guy nods*",
"Joey: Well you must have always been pretty ambitious to be doing so well, I mean...",
"MissWeston: Aw, ambitious? Are you kidding? Not at all. A few years ago I was the quintessential housewife. Raising kids, staying home, no job. Growing up I'd always loved art and drawing so I went back to school. Now I'm teaching art and working as an interior designer. It's great because I spend half my time teaching, which I love, and spend the other half, in design. *a guy walks up* Thanks.",
"Joey: You must be incredibly talented.",
"MissWeston: Incredibly hard-working is what I am. Oh and Joey, we're doing the designs for a chain of Mexican restaurants. Come take a look at these floorplans.",
"Joey: They look good to me.",
"MissWeston: Look closer, do you see any potential problems? *Joey bends over and looks*",
"Joey: Um...nevermind.",
"MissWeston: No, no, what is it?",
"Joey: You placed the kitchen and the bar and opposite ends of the restaurant.",
"MissWeston: And why is that a problem?",
"Joey: Well, I work in a restaurant and with it like that, the waiters have to place the kitchen orders and the drink orders separately. Everything takes twice as long and you end up running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.",
"MissWeston: Mind if I pick your brain for advice on some of these other designs? A little trade-off for helping you with your assignment?",
"Joey: I don't know. I'd love to. *Cut to Abby and Jen in the coffee house*",
"Abby: Nothing? Nothing has happened? You've been working with him all week and you expect me to believe that nothing has happened?",
"Jen: I'm telling you nothing has happened. I don't know. I mean, he's so head-over-heels in love with Joey I just can't compete with her.",
"Abby: That is where you're wrong. Joey has nothing on you. Kenny, what do you think of Joey Potter?",
"Kenny: She's hot.",
"Abby: Oh, shut up! What do you know. You're practically wallide(?).",
"Kenny: Well, Abby, I do know that we should be working on our assignment.",
"Abby: Okay, you're bugging me. Can you just get out of my hair and finish it?",
"Kenny: Look, Abby, you haven't been doing your share of the work.",
"Abby: Well, what do you expect? I'm not like you, Kenny. I have a very demanding social life. *Kenny goes back to work.* I mean, Joey may be pretty. She does have that fresh-face appeal in a very J. Crew-catalogue kind of way, but she's no you. You're a s*x kitten, Jen. And you should work it to your advantage.",
"Jen: What are you saying? That I should just take off all my clothes and throw myself at him?",
"Abby: It could work! Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor and tonight is your last night with him! I mean you have to go for broke. Wear something scandalous. You can borrow one of my dresses and just spray perfume in all the right places, big red moist lips.",
"Jen: You know what, you're right. Might as well put the final nail in my coffin of shame, what have I got to lose?",
"Abby: Yeah. Just seduce him. His tighty-whities will be in a ball by the floor of the bed before you can say \"Joey Potter is a virgin.\" *They laugh* *Cut to Mrs. Leery lighting candles for dinner. Mitch walks in.*",
"Gail: Dinner's ready.",
"Mitch: Well, I made other plans, Gail. It's Thursday.",
"Gail: Thursday, right. Well then, you have fun. See you later.",
"Mitch: Bye. *Cut to Dawson and Joey on the porch*",
"Joey: So you want to come with me to the Icehouse? I told Bessie I'd help clean up.",
"Dawson: No, I've got to stay here and finish my project with Jen.",
"Joey: Oh. *singing* Mineeee's donneee.",
"Dawson: I hate you.",
"Joey: Oh yeah? *They kiss*",
"Joey: Well, Laura practically did the whole thing. She is so cool, Dawson. She said anytime I want to enter into a company, she'd help me out.",
"Dawson: Really?",
"Joey: She just made me realize that maybe someday I could own my own business or my own company.",
"Dawson: See it looks like Joey has some career aspirations after all. *Gail comes out the front door*",
"Gail: Um, if your father comes back tell him since it's Thursday night, I've gone out.",
"Dawson: When will you be back?",
"Gail: Later. Goodnight honey. *She leaves. Joey looks at Dawson, confused.*",
"Dawson: I've given up trying to figure out my parents. It's really weird right now. *They sit there and Joey smiles.*",
"Joey: You think we should take advantage of this moment of unsupervision. *They start kissing* *Jen walks in*",
"Jen: Hey. *They stop*",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Jen: If I've interrupted something I can come back later.",
"Joey: No I was just leaving. Bye Dawson. *She kisses him.* Nice dress.",
"Jen: Thanks I borrowed it.",
"Joey: I'll bet. *Joey leaves*",
"Dawson: So, um, where do you want to do this?",
"Jen: Somewhere where we can be comfortable. Let's go to your bedroom. *Cut to Icehouse. Trey and Jeff are talking.*",
"Trey: Why do we need two Range Rover's? Compromise Jeff. A couple weeks in Europe..we drive a cheaper car.",
"Jeff: You know what, forget the honeymoon! You drive the cheaper car!",
"Trey: Why are you so selfish? I mean, why do you act like that?",
"Jeff: Yeah I'm selfish! *They walk off as Joey looks confused by their conversation.*",
"Joey: Hey! Sorry I'm late. God, this place is a pigsty.",
"Jack: We got slammed.",
"Joey: Hey Bessie I was telling Laura about our financial problems.",
"Bessie: Who's Laura?",
"Joey: She's the interior designer who helped me with my project.",
"Bessie: Oh the super successful career woman.",
"Joey: Anyway, she had some really great ideas. Ways to keep our overhead cost down. Laura also said she'd help us with a new logo for the Icehouse. I mean, we could print new menus, placemats...",
"Bessie: We don't need new menus or placemats.",
"Joey: She said she could do it for free.She said it's crucial for businesses to revamp their new look every once in awhile. It keeps things fresh.",
"Bessie: I don't have time to take advice from some woman who knows nothing about me or my life or the Icehouse.",
"Joey: She was just trying to help.",
"Bessie: I don't need her help. I need your help, now. The health department called they're coming here tomorrow morning and this place is a total disaster.",
"Joey: Look, you don't have to snap at me like it's my fault.",
"Bessie: Well, I thought you were coming in earlier, we needed you tonight.",
"Joey: Well, I'm sorry, Bessie, but I actually have a life. I am not your full-time slave.",
"Bessie: Full-time slave? That's a bit of an exaggeration.",
"Joey: Oh is it?",
"Bessie: Yeah!",
"Joey: The fact is all I do is run your errands, answer your phone calls, and take care of your baby and I'm sick of it!",
"Bessie: Oh, Joey, I'm sorry my baby and I are cramping your style why don't you go home. Jack and I have it covered.",

"*Icehouse, Pacey walks in.*",
"Jack: Hey, we're closed.",
"Pacey: Listen, can I just get a cup of coffee, man? I'm desperate.",
"Jack: Yeah, yeah sure.",
"Pacey: You're Andie's brother, right? *Jack nods.*",
"Pacey: I'm Pacey.",
"Jack: Yeah, I know who you are.",
"Pacey: Uh, listen, is your sister on any kind of medication because she just went completely ballistic on me.",
"Jack: Why? What'd you do to her?",
"Pacey: Nothing. I just called her a spoiler princess and she just went psycho. I guess the truth hurts sometimes.",
"Jack: Andie a spoiled princess...I don't think anything could be further from the truth.",
"Pacey: Don't tell me your family's not totally loaded.",
"Jack: You think I'm workin' here for kicks?",
"Pacey: Yeah, but your sister drives a Saab man. And all those nice clothes...",
"Jack: Yeah it's the last remains of a decaying dynasty.",
"Pacey: I don't get it.",
"Jack: Look, there was a time when things were easy for us, relatively, but those days are over now. Look I really don't want to get into this. Just do me a favor. Give Andie a break. She deserves it. *Cut to Mitch and Gail on their free nights doing absolutely nothing and looking very bored.* *Cut to Dawson and Jen in Dawson's room.*",
"Dawson: *happily* Alright, we're done!",
"Jen: Finally, huh? Mission accomplished. Oh my God I am so exhausted I can barely see straight.",
"Dawson: Yeah, I feel like I've become one with this chair. *Jen laughs*",
"Jen: How about a massage? Get rid of a little bit of that tension.",
"Dawson: No, I'm cool.",
"Jen: Are you sure? *Jen goes over and lays on the bed.*",
"Jen: God, I am so beat. I don't even think I can make it next door. You mind if I just crash here for the night?",
"Dawson: *surprised* Yeah, actually I do.",
"Jen: What?",
"Dawson: Yeah, I do mind. You should probably go home.",
"Jen: So what? We can't hang out together anymore is that it?",
"Dawson: No, absolutely we can hang out together. We just can't sleep together.",
"Jen: Well, calm down, Dawson. I just said I would crash at your house. No one said anything about sleeping together. I know what it is. It's Joey, isn't it? She's been putting ideas in your head about me.",
"Dawson: No, Jen, Joey hasn't been putting ideas in my head. I'm not oblivious.",
"Jen: Meaning?",
"Dawson: Meaning, look at you. I mean, is this what you normally wear to a study session? I mean, you've been making suggestive comments. Testing me all night.",
"Jen: Dawson if you can't handle being in the same room with me--",
"Dawson: I can handle being in the same room with you. I just can't handle you throwing yourself at me every other second. I mean, don't you find it humiliating?",
"Jen: I'm not humiliating anybody, Dawson. And I know that you're with Joey and I accept that. I just don't respect it. And I don't mean this in a slutty, self-degrading sort of way, but I want to let you know that you've got options. And I'm one of them.",
"Dawson: Who are you? What happened to Jen?",
"Jen: She got bored. Decided to liven things up a bit. *Jen kisses him and walks towards the door and turns around* I hope you can handle it Dawson. *She leaves.* *Cut to Mitch and Gail in their bedroom.*",
"Mitch: Have fun?",
"Gail: Yeah. Did you?",
"Mitch: Yeah.",
"Gail: Good. So what'd you do?",
"Mitch: Went to Duke's. Met some new people. Danced a little. You?",
"Gail: Oh, I met a friend for some drinks. I'm glad you had a good time tonight, Mitch. *They turn off the lights* *Cut to Joey on the porch. Bessie drives up.*",
"Joey: I was beginning to think you skipped town on me.",
"Bessie: Yeah I was up all night cleaning. Look, Joey. Things aren't working out for you and the Icehouse so you're fired.",
"Joey: Fired?",
"Bessie: I just don't think you should be working there anymore.",
"Joey: You can't fire me.",
"Bessie: Yes I can, and I am.",
"Joey: I know what you're doing Bessie. I couldn't sleep last night I felt so bad. What I said, I didn't mean.",
"Bessie: Yes, you did. You were right. I'm in way over my head, but these problems are not yours. I don't want to be the one robbing you of your childhood, the fun of being young. Not burdened by all my messes. It's not fair. It's not fair to you and I'm sorry.",
"Joey: Bessie, these are my problems because you and I are a team, you know? And you can't fire me because I'm not going anywhere and I won't be fired. And I love you. And Alexander. And I don't ever want you to feel like you're in this alone.",
"Bessie: Yeah but you're my little sister. I'm supposed to be taking care of you.",
"Joey: You do. You do take care of me, Bessie.",
"Bessie: You know, one day I'll get it together and you'll be proud of me.",
"Joey: I am proud of you, Bessie. I mean, this assignment helped me understand how much you have to deal with and how much stress you are under. I think you're amazing.",
"Bessie: Yeah?",
"Joey: Yeah. *Cut to Econ. class*",
"Teacher: Unlike some of your schoolwork, the lessons that you learned from this project, can be directly applied to your future lives. Therefore, I hope, I hope, I hope that you gave this project's it's deserved attention. Now will you please pass your projects to the front of the room for me. Jeff, how'd that wedding turn out?",
"Jeff: Great, Mr. Matick. We decided to go for a casual one by the ocean, just you know,",
"Jeff and Trey: Close friends and family.",
"Trey: And that way we can spend more money on the honeymoon.",
"Teacher: Good decision, Trey.",
"Kenny: Mr. Matick?",
"Teacher: Yes Kenny?",
"Kenny: FYI, Abby Morgan's name is on this report because she threatened my life and didn't help at all and spent the entire week just verbally abusing me.",
"Abby: That is a lie! Look, Mr. Matick, Kenny was congested and he literally had snot all over his face. I just didn't want to get ill.",
"Teacher: I hope you set aside money for marriage counseling. So Andie, where's your project?",
"Andie: Well, Mr. Matick, since marriage is a 50/50 partnership, I decided to do my project from the wife's perspective so..here's my half. *Pacey walks in with a notebook.*",
"Teacher: Pacey Witter! Nice of you to join us. This your project?",
"Pacey: Mine and Andie's.",
"Teacher: Looks pretty comprehensive. Good work, you two. And now that this is over you'll get these back on Monday then on Monday we'll start our project on macroeconomics. *Cut to outside of school Dawson and Joey*",
"Dawson: I am so glad that project is over.",
"Joey: I liked it.",
"Dawson: You did, didn't ya?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Dawson: I can see it now, Joey Potter climbing the ladder to corporate america.",
"Joey: Shut up.",
"Dawson: Come here. *They start kissing. Abby and Jen walk towards them.*",
"Abby: Get a room. *Abby and Jen continue walking*",
"Joey: What was that all about?",
"Dawson: I have no idea. *Cut to Andie and Pacey.*",
"Andie: Pacey, hey!",
"Pacey: Hey.",
"Andie: Thanks for finishing the project. I guess I can never call you lazy again",
"Pacey: Listen, I'm sorry about yesterday. 'Kay. I think we were both suffering from a case of false impressions. I talked to your brother last night and he explained to me that your family is not exactly the Rockefellar's.",
"Andie: He did?",
"Pacey: Yeah, so I feel like the world's biggest chump here.",
"Andie: Don't sweat it.",
"Pacey: No, really, it's true. I obviously don't know anything about you.",
"Andie: Look, Pacey, my life is like a Movie of the Week is better left out of this conversation here, okay?",
"Pacey: Okay.",
"Andie: So what I want to know is did we get the viper?",
"Pacey: Come on, after all we've been through do you think I could really get the Viper? *Andie gives him a look.*",
"Pacey: Okay, I had to but it's such an awesome car.",
"Andie: That means all of our kids are stuffed into a 2-bedroom apartment.",
"Pacey: Actually it's a one bedroom apartment, but, you know, the family that lays together stays together.",
"Andie: Pacey, 5 people in one bedroom. That is insanity!",
"Pacey: Are you complaining? I stayed up all night finishing this project. *They pass a convertible where the lady in it turns her head and takes off her sunglasses revealing that it's... MISS JACOBS!*"

"Vincent: You know...I've been here a week now, and you're the first breath of fresh air that's blown through and you probably think I'm flirting with you.",
"Jen: And you're not?",
"Vincent: I am, but I thought I would acknowledge it and smooth things out a little.",
"Jen: It helped....a little.",
"Vincent: Wait. Look, I'm not very good at this so please bear with me. I have been at sea for the last 18 days with a bunch of ill-mannered, drunken idiots, and I would really love to reacquaint my brain with the simple pleasures of life.",
"Jen: Which are?",
"Vincent: Well, conversations that don't offend my mother's virtue with 4-letter words and an exotic cup of ground roast coffee. So, please, if you have any compassion for the working man, say you'll show me the gentler side of Capeside.",
"Jen: Well, I suppose it would be my civic duty.",
"Vincent: Tonight?",
"Jen: *makes a face like she can't* Ohhh. *gives in* 7:30. 22 Seafare Drive.",
"Vincent: I'll be there. *Cut to Andie walking into the video store where Pacey is watching a porno.*",
"Pacey: Well, if it isn't Little Miss McPhee.",
"Andie: I'm just here to get a video, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Can I help you?",
"Andie: Don't bother.. I can help myself. Why don't you just go back to your....Debbie Does Dallas?",
"Pacey: It's, uh, Jacuzzi Floozies, actually. You ever notice how the most interesting part of a p0rn movie is the title? Think about it. You got The Sperminator, Romancing the Bone, Little Oral Annie...",
"Andie: I don't know why they bother being clever. I mean, they're all the same to me. They should have the same title: Women Pacey Will Never Do.",
"Pacey: Ouch. You know, McPhee, we really should just bite the bullet.",
"Andie: Meaning?",
"Pacey: All this verbal sparring we're doing is getting a little dangerous so we should just go out on a date before somebody gets hurt.",
"Andie: Forget it.",
"Pacey: Come on. You know you want to.",
"Andie: Well, maybe if I was asked politely.",
"Pacey: Okay. Andie..would you like to go on a date with me tonight?",
"Andie: Okay.",
"Pacey: *sarcastically* Well, don't sound too enthused.",
"Andie: I'll try to restrain myself. So where are we going?",
"Pacey: Uh, how about the movies? That way we don't have to talk to each other too much, less chance of punches being thrown.",
"Andie: Good idea.",
"Pacey: Great. I'll pick you up at 7:30. You live on Windsor, right?",
"Andie: *panicked* Um, I'll meet you there.",
"Pacey: No, it's okay. It's a date. I can pick you up.",
"Andie: Okay, well, how about we meet at the Icehouse? I mean, neutral ground.",
"Pacey: Andie, it's fine. Your house is on my way.",
"Andie: Well, maybe we shouldn't do this.",
"Pacey: Come on, Andie. Don't wuss out on me now.",
"Andie: *hesitant* Well, okay. Um, 7:30. See you there. Don't be late.",
"Pacey: *looks confused, then smiles* Cool. *Cut to Andie outside the video store smiling.* *Cut to Jen in a drugstore looking at make up. Abby walks in*",
"Abby: Hey! So you're not still mad at me, are you?",
"Jen: What? For calling me a desperate loser? Gee, why should I be?",
"Abby: I didn't mean that. I'm sorry. I always get a little wiggy around this time of the month. *steals a lipstick* Oops. Look, let's never let a guy come between us again. Men will come and go, but you and I are kindred spirits. We're rebels bound together by the common need to break out of this small town abyss.",
"Jen: Alright. Are you sure that you're okay with this whole guy thing?",
"Abby: Absolutely.",
"Jen: Okay. Great 'cause I've been dying to tell somebody. I've got a date with Vincent.",
"Abby: You bitch.",
"Jen: What?",
"Abby: After everything I've done for you...how could you go and steal him from me?",
"Jen: Are you out of your mind? He doesn't even know that you exist, Abby. *They leave the drugstore*",
"Abby: You might want to stop and pick up some condoms. You're in the big leagues now, babe. I mean, that guy probably has illegitimate kids scattered up and down the eastern seaboard.",
"Jen: Shut up, Abby.",
"Abby: Yeah, he probably likes it kinky, oh but that's right. You're the girl from New York City, right?",
"Jen: I'm warning you, back off.",
"Abby: Yeah, ol' Vincent probably knows an easy lay when he sees one. *Jen turns around and bitchslaps Abby.*",
"Jen: Don't you ever talk to me again! Ever! *Cut to the Leery's kitch. Gail is cooking and Joey and Dawson are doing homework at the kitchen table. Mitch walks in*",
"Mitch: Hey guys.",
"Dawson: Hi Dad.",
"Joey: Hi Mr. Leery.",
"Mitch: What is with the Betty Crocker routine?",
"Gail: I'm playing ambassador to a visiting reporter from the city. Happens every couple of months. This time, rather than going out, I thought I'd have him over here for dinner.",
"Mitch: Him?",
"Gail: Yeah, him. Gary Somers. He's going to be our New York roamer and affiliate.",
"Mitch: It's Saturday, Gail. That sounds more like a Thursday night excursion.",
"Dawson: What are Thursdays?",
"Gail: It's work, Mitch. It's for work.",
"Mitch: You know, somehow the fact that he's a coworker doesn't provide me much comfort. I wonder why.",
"Gail: At least I have coworkers.",
"Mitch: Meaning?",
"Gail: Meaning, I work. Therefore, I have coworkers.",
"Mitch: Oh, Gail. You can do better than that.",
"Joey: I gotta go to work.",
"Dawson: I'll go with you. *Dawson and Joey exit into the hallway*",
"Joey: What was that all about? That Thursday night stuff again.",
"Dawson: Joey, my parents are scaring the hell out of me.",
"Joey: Don't worry about it, Dawson. It's just the full moon. It puts everyone on edge. I gotta go. Bye. *Joey leaves and Mitch storms down the hallway.*",
"Dawson: Dad, what was that all about?",
"Mitch: *angrily* Not now, Dawson. *He goes upstairs* *Cut to Jen applying makeup in her mirror*",
"Grams: You sure you don't want to come to bible study, dear? It's the Book of John. Tonight he baptizes the sinners.",
"Jen: I'll pass, Grams.",
"Grams: If you ignore the religious ramifications, you might find it simply entertaining.",
"Jen: Nice try, Grams.",
"Grams: Well, I won't be late, dear. *timelapse...knock on Jen's door. Jen opens it and it's Abby. She walks in.*",
"Abby: I cannot believe that you would hit me. Me! Your best friend!",
"Jen: Well, need I remind you that in the past two days you've called me a bitch, a slut, and a loser.",
"Abby: Yeah, but I would never hit you!",
"Jen: You're warped. You know what? Why don't you just go home?",
"Abby: Why? Is the dork from the docks comin' a-callin'?",
"Jen: Yes, he is. See ya later. *Cut to Gail and Gary in the Leery living room.*",
"Gary: The Atlanta convention? A total disaster. 600 reporters without reservations, erased. Imagine that chaos.",
"Gail: Wow. *Doorbell.*",
"Gail: Oh, excuse me, Gary. I'll be right back. *Gail opens the door revealing...Tamara*",
"Tamara: Hi. I'm here to see Mitch.",
"Gail: Oh. Really?",
"Tamara: Yes, I'm-- *Mitch cuts her off*",
"Mitch: Tamara. Come in.",
"Tamara: Hi Mitch. I'm leaving tomorrow, so I thought you might want to take another look at the blueprints for the warehouse while you're making your decision. Sorry to sound so desperate.",
"Mitch: No. Let's take a look. Gail, you've met Tamara.",
"Gail: *angrily* PTA meeting. *Cut to Icehouse where Joey is sketching a lone customer while Jack makes oragami figures out of paper. Joey stops and counts her tips.*",
"Joey: $2.08...Saturday night. Where is everyone?",
"Jack: Relax. Enjoy the quiet.",
"Joey: If Mr. Bottomless Cup of Coffee would leave, I'd close the place.",
"Jack: You really don't like being a waitress, do you?",
"Joey: What gave you the first clue?",
"Jack: Your utter disdain for our customers.",
"Joey: And you find this new vocation stimulating?",
"Jack: Absolutely. Come on. At what other time in your life are you ever going to be exposed to so many different walks of life, so many different people that just randomly cross your path, each with a different story, different set of hopes, different set of dreams...",
"Joey: Ways to blame you for their food being cold, there are not enough clams in the chowder..",
"Jack: Why are you so angry?",
"Joey: It's just the full moon. It's got me freaked.",
"Jack: Not just tonight. All the time. *Jack walks off and Joey ponders what he just said.* *Cut to Jen and Vincent. Jen hands him a cup of coffee*",
"Jen: Here you go. Just a touch of milk.",
"Vincent: Thank you. Ah, it's nice being off the boat for a night.",
"Jen: You enjoy that? I mean, being out at sea for such long periods of time?",
"Vincent: No. Saving up for law school. My uncle owns the marina over in Bayboro and he hooked me up with the job.",
"Jen: You're going to be a lawyer?",
"Vincent: I know. You would have never guessed, would you?",
"Jen: No.",
"Vincent: No?",
"Jen: I'm sorry, no, I don't mean to be rude. I just..",
"Vincent: I know. Appearance is everything.",
"Jen: Unfortunate, isn't it?",
"Vincent: Not from where I'm sitting.",
"Jen: Are you flirting with me again?,br>",
"Vincent: I can stop.",
"Jen: Where would the fun be in that?",
"Vincent: That's a good point. *Cut to Leery's. Tamara and Mitch are looking at the blueprints. Dawson looks in.*",
"Tamara: Okay, well, with the entrance here, and this area has excellent ventilation, I think that would be a good place for the kitchen.",
"Mitch: Right. How high are the ceilings back here?",
"Tamara: What did I say? 17? 20? *Dawson moves and looks in at his mom, confused.*",
"Gary: We were trying to get...",
"Gail: Get a statement from him in the middle of the worst snowstorm New England had seen in 40 years.",
"Gary: *laughing* And he was on the next plane out of here. *Cut to the kitchen when Mitch walks in and finds Dawson.*",
"Mitch: What are you doing?",
"Dawson: Nothing.",
"Gail: *in other room* Would you like another glass of wine?",
"Gary: Yeah, sure.",
"Mitch: What is your mom up to?",
"Dawson: Same as you. *Gail comes in*",
"Gail: Same as who?",
"Mitch: Oh, nothing.",
"Dawson: Nothing.",
"Gail: So Mitch, you really think that you are going to buy this condemned building to open up a restaurant?",
"Mitch: Yes, I do.",
"Gail: Who are you fooling? It's clear what's going on here. You jumped down my throat for having over a guest when it is obvious that your Thursday night escapades are overflowing into the weekend.",
"Dawson: All right. What's going on? What are Thursday nights?",
"Mitch: Go to your room, Dawson.",
"Dawson: No. I...",
"Gail: Honey, now.",
"Mitch: I'm planning on opening a restaurant. Now, you know this.",
"Gail: And how are you going to buy the building?",
"Mitch: I got a loan, Gail.",
"Gail: That's good because I'm getting tired of indulging in the dreams of a man who can hardly look me in the eye.",
"Mitch: Well, I am sorry that I have been such a burden to you. While you've been in there playing with Gary or Bobby or whoever it is this evening, I've been indulging some of my own dreams.",
"Gail: Oh and those dreams...they involve Dawson's english teacher?",
"Mitch: They involve a damn restaurant. Not everything is about s*x, Gail. At least not to me. *Cut to Dawson laying on his bed.*",
"Abby: Great. *Dawson flies up in shock discovering Abby peering out his window into Jen's house with binoculars.*",
"Dawson: Oh my God! What the hell are you doing in my room? *Cut to Pacey at Andie's. He knocks on the door. Andie's mom answers*",
"Andie's Mom: Yes?",
"Pacey: Hi. I'm here for Andie. We have a date tonight.",
"Andie's Mom: You must be Pacey. Come in, please.",
"Pacey: Thanks. She's not mad at me, is she? I just...I got kind of mixed up between the Icehouse, movie house, your house. It's confusing really.",
"Andie's Mom: I'm sure she'll be along soon.",
"Pacey: Oh. You know, we're going to miss the movie now. She's going to annihilate me.",
"Andie's Mom: I'm sure you can talk her out of it. She's very taken with you.",
"Pacey: She is?",
"Andie's Mom: She talks about you all the time and Will, that's Andie's father, he'll be home any minute. I'm sure he wants to give you the third degree. And Tim! You should meet Tim! *yelling* Tim! Tim! *to Pacey* He's got those darn headphones on.",
"Pacey: Who's Tim?",
"Andie's Mom: Andie and Jack's older brother. He goes to Columbia. He comes home some weekends. I'll tell you what? You can stay for dinner. You finish the table. Include Andie and yourself.",
"Pacey: Sure.",
"Andie's Mom: Tim? Tim! *Andie's Mom goes upstairs looking for Tim*",
"Pacey: Okay. This just became a bizarre first date.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"*Cut to the Icehouse. Jack is tapping at the lobster tank.*",
"Joey: Hey. How's our lone customer? *The lights go out...then come back on.*",
"Joey: *looking around* Oh my God! The pump is down! Jack, if the lobsters die, we're going to lose a fortune.",
"Jack: I...I didn't touch it.",
"Joey: We have to remove these from the tank and put them into some ice. Can you go get that tub over there?",
"Jack: Hey, why don't we just throw 'em back in the ocean. Give them another chance at life.",
"Joey: Yeah, if you do that, you can just jump right in with them. Hurry up! *Andie comes into the Icehouse*",
"Andie: Is he here?",
"Jack: Who?",
"Andie: Pacey",
"Joey: I haven't seen him.",
"Andie: Well, I was supposed to meet with him tonight, so I went to the movie theater and I waited til after the show started, and he never showed up. *notices them lifting out the lobsters* What are you guys doing? *They ignore her* Uh, so anyway. Then I remembered that we were supposed to meet here, but now he's not here either. So that must mean he's either totally blowing me off or...Oh my God!",
"Jack: What? What's the matter?",
"Andie: Jack, the house! He said he wanted to pick me up! What if he goes to the house?!",
"Joey: Good. It's about time Pacey showed some etiquette.",
"Jack: Andie, look. Don't worry about it, alright? It's okay.",
"Andie: Are you crazy? If he shows up and she's...oh my God.... *She runs out*",
"Jack: Andie! Andie!! *Cut to Jen's house at her kitchen table*",
"Jen: Okay. Alright. *Vincent laughing*",
"Jen: My turn. My turn. Okay, uhhh most...most embarrasing sexual encounter.",
"Vincent: Oh, no.",
"Jen: Oh, come on.",
"Vincent: Okay. I can tell you this because I'm a secure man.",
"Jen: Mm-hm.",
"Vincent: One night, in New Orleans, I got so drunk...couldn't see straight. I met this woman. She was beautiful. We went back to her place and, uh, you know, we started getting closer and closer to..",
"Jen: The moment?",
"Vincent: The moment. And she tells me...she's a he.",
"Jen: *laughs* Mmm.",
"Vincent: Yes. I swear. 100% knockout beauty, crying game drag queen.",
"Jen: So, what'd you do?",
"Vincent: Well, nothing you know. I mean, he or she or whatever was actually really great about it. We stayed up all night drinking and laughing. Turned out to be a really nice guy. I heard his whole story. Abusive father and, um, so now, whenever I'm in New Orleans, I have a free couch. Now, your turn.",
"Jen: Hmm, most embarressing sexual encounter. Well, um, I got caught doing it on my parents' bed.",
"Vincent: Hmm.",
"Jen: With an ex.",
"Vincent: Yeah.",
"Jen: Right on my dad's 300-thread count. Did not go over well.",
"Vincent: Mm-hm.",
"Jen: And plus, it completely spoiled the moment.",
"Vincent: Bummer.",
"Jen: Yeah. My dad can be kind of harsh sometimes. I guess me and your drag queen friend have got something in common. *They kiss*",
"Vincent: I hope that's the only thing you two have in common. *They start kissing again* *Cut back to Dawson's room.*",
"Abby: Oh my God!",
"Dawson: Abby. Okay, Abby? One more time, you're in my room because..why? *Abby gets up*",
"Abby: Cute room, Dawson.",
"Dawson: I'm not asking again.",
"Abby: Alright. But you can't tell anyone. Jen is on a date with this older guy, and quite frankly, I'm concerned.",
"Dawson: So you're spying on her?",
"Abby: Well of course.",
"Dawson: Go away, Abby.",
"Abby: Parents getting you down? I heard the screaming.",
"Dawson: I think the dead heard.",
"Abby: Well, don't stress. Just let them fight, and soon they'll wise up, get a divorce, and everything will get better.",
"Dawson: A divorce is better?",
"Abby: Yeah, it's certainly a home improvement. My dad has never been happier, my mom went out and got herself a life, and my allowance has quadrupled. You're so tense, Dawson. *She gets back behind him* Mm, you smell good, Dawson.",
"Dawson: No offense, Abby. But this isn't going to happen.",
"Abby: Why? Joey doesn't have to know.",
"Dawson: What?!",
"Abby: Alright. Well, the, can we just kiss in front of the window so that Jen can see?",
"Dawson: Abby.",
"Abby: Alright, alright. Well, can you just tell Jen that we made out?",
"Dawson: Jen would never buy it.",
"Abby: Well, you can make it sound clever so she'd believe you. Just, um, tell her that you and Joey have decided to have an open relationship and that you and I have hooked up. Very legit. *Abby leaves and Dawson thinks about what she said and he comes to a realization.* *Back downstairs. Dawson walks into the room where Tamara and Mitch are talking.*",
"Tamara: Very legit.",
"Mitch: Well, I have to talk to my lender but..",
"Dawson: Hey dad. Can I talk to you for a second?",
"Mitch: Yeah, sure. Excuse me. *Mitch walks out of the room and Dawson shuts the doors* *Cut to Dawson walking into where Gail and Gary are talking.*",
"Gail: Yes, all the reporters prefer it.",
"Dawson: Mom, can I talk to you for a second? It's very important.",
"Gail: Uh, excuse me.",
"Gary: Sure. *Gail walks out of the room and Dawson shuts the doors.*",
"Mitch: What is this all about, Dawson?",
"Gail: Yes, honey. We have guests. We're being rude.",
"Dawson: Are you two having an open marriage? *Cut back to Jen's house*",
"Jen: Um, okay. Alright. I think that we've taken it far enough.",
"Vincent: What do you mean...far enough?",
"Jen: Well I mean, don't you think?",
"Vincent: Yeah, well, the blood's out of my head.",
"Jen: Mm, you know? I think it's kind of getting late.",
"Vincent: What happened? We were just getting to the good stuff. You're not serious.",
"Jen: Look, I'm 16, okay? How's that going to look on your law school application?",
"Vincent: You're what?!",
"Grams: 16 years old.",
"Vincent: Oh my God.",
"Grams: Not even God will be able to save you if you don't get your hands off my granddaughter right this instant!",
"Vincent: Okay. *Cut to Andie's house. Andie walks in.*",
"Pacey: Hey, you're here.",
"Andie: Hi. What are you doing here?",
"Pacey: Listen, I'm sorry. I kind of got confused where I was supposed to pick you up. But don't worry. Your mom's being real cool about it.",
"Andie: Okay, good. Let's just go.",
"Pacey: Actually, I kind of told your mom that we'd stay for dinner.",
"Andie: Okay, well, w-we'll just sneak out. They'll never miss us.",
"Pacey: Um, don't you think we should tell her first? She said she'd be right down.",
"Andie: Look, you have no right to be here, okay? You were not invited. My family is none of your business. And what's with my mother? What did you say to her?",
"Pacey: Slow down a bit. What's the problem here?",
"Andie: What did she say to you?",
"Pacey: Nothing. Okay? She just invited me into this normal Rockweel painting, better known aw your home, and politely invited me to dinner. It seems like unlike her spoiled, rich society girl of a daughter, I'm actually worthy in her eyes of meeting the Country Club father and the Ivy League brother.",
"Andie: Okay, look, let's just go them.",
"Pacey: No. We're not leaving, okay? That's rude.",
"Andie: Please, Pacey, please.",
"Pacey: What? Are you so ashamed of me you don't even want me to meet your own brother?",
"Andie: No. Just...not now, okay?",
"Pacey: Andie? Andie!",
"Andie: What?",
"Pacey: What's the problem?",
"Andie: Tim died. He's dead, okay! *Cut back to the Icehouse*",
"Joey: Look we have about 10 minutes before these lobsters take a back swim. I'm screwed. No, I'm dead.",
"Jack: Okay.",
"Joey: Uh... *Jack is trying to fix it*",
"Jack: Alright. Okay...there. I think I got it. *The power goes out.*",
"Joey: Nice going, Einstein.",
"Customer: Try unplugging the power source and then plugging it back in. *Jack does it and it works.*",
"Joey: Thank you Mister.",
"Jack: Okay, that's weird.",
"Joey: Full moon, remember?",
"Jack: Yeah right.",
"Joey: I just wish he'd leave. I mean, how much coffee can a person consume?",
"Jack: Joey, I don't think he's really here for coffee.",
"Joey: Well, he didn't order any food.",
"Jack: I think he just doesn't have any other place to go. Or, you know, maybe he doesn't have a family or, um, you know maybe he did, but they're gone now. We really don't know anything about him.",
"Joey: Maybe he lost his wife or something.",
"Jack: Or a child. *Camera goes back to the table and the customer is gone*",
"Joey: That was weird! It's like he just..",
"Jack: Disappeared.",
"Joey: Yeah....no tip. *Jack holds back and picks up a napkin and under it there was a $100 bill.*",
"Jack: Joey!",
"Joey: $100?! Oh my God! Jack, we're rich! *Joey hugs Jack* Oh my God.",
"Jack: Hey, look at this. Look what else he left.",
"Joey: *reading* By moonlight many years ago my true love did I know, and by that moon I begged her wait but that night did she go. So, young lovers, heed my words, don't squander love away. The moon is changinger ever still, soon comes the light of day. *Joey starts to walk away when Jack grabs her by the arm and kisses her* *Cut back to the Leery kitchen*",
"Mitch: It's not what you think, Dawson.",
"Dawson: What I'm thinking is that you two have completely lost your minds. When were you planning on telling me? When you had the revolving door installed? What were you thinking?",
"Gail: Do you hear that, Mitch? Our son wants to know why we're having an open marriage. You know what, sweetheart? So would I. Talk to your father.",
"Mitch: Look, it's complicated, alright? Your mother and I were attempting to heal some areas in our marriage.",
"Dawson: And you think an open marriage was the answer?",
"Mitch: Okay, I admit it was a mistake",
"Dawson: It doesn't take a degree in psychobabble to figure that one out, Dad.",
"Gail: My thoughts exactly.",
"Mitch: Now, exactly where do you get off being angry? You did this, Gail, I didn't. We wouldn't be in this position if you hadn't put us here.",
"Gail: I give up. I can't apoligize anymore. I've got a colleague in the other room.",
"Dawson: Mom, stop! Stay here. You have to stay here, and you've got to fix this!",
"Gail: No. I have to get back to work if I'm going to continue to support your father and his pipe dreams.",
"Mitch: You have never supported me! Ever!",
"Gail: I have been supporting you for years.",
"Mitch: There's more than one way to support someone, Gail. You stand behind them, and you encourage them, and you believe in them. You don't turn your back on them and jump into somebody else's bed!",
"Dawson: Dad!",
"Gail: I'm sorry, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Mom! *Gail leaves.*",
"Dawson: *yelling* God, dad! You can't just let it go, can you? Look, she made a mistake alright? I know that, you know that, she knows that. She's been trying to get you to forgive her and you won't let her off the hook! You've got to...you've got to get beyond your own ego and just forgive her. Make the decision alright? Commit, forgive her, and then go in there and fix this family. Dad, you've got to fix this.",
"Mitch: I don't know how to fix it. I don't know what to do, and I don't have any answers. I thought I did, but I don't. My dad...your granddad had answers, man. To every question. He taught me so much. He taught me how to shave...you know? He taught me...how to drive a car...save money...build a house, even. But, you know, he never...told me what to do if my wife cheated on me. *crying* I didn't know to ask. I didn't know...oh, god... *Dawson gets up and puts his hand on his father's shoulder for whatever little comfort it holds.* *Cut to Jen on her porch steps. Grams comes out.*",
"Grams: I do not know what to do with you anymore, child.",
"Jen: Please don't preach to me right now.",
"Grams: Oh, there'll be no talk of God. I'll leave him out of it. This is between you and me. What I witnessed tonight is something I never want to see again.",
"Jen: I had that situation under control, okay? You don't have to get upset at me.",
"Grams: Oh! I am not upset, child. I am sick. I will NOT allow you to slide back into your reprehensible New York behavior. Not while you're under my care. You will not disrespect me.",
"Jen: Wait a minute, that's not..",
"Grams: You wait a minute, Jennifer. This behavior will NOT be tolerated. You will treat me with respect and you will act like a lady. You will not degrade yourself. Not under my roof and not in my lifetime. Have you no respect for yourself? *Cut to the Icehouse. Joey walks outside and finds Dawson and is suprised*",
"Joey: Dawson! What are you doing here?",
"Dawson: I had to get out of that house. Hey Jack.",
"Jack: Hey. Uh, Joey, why don't you, uh, why don't you take off? I'll finish up.",
"Joey: Okay. *Joey and Dawson walk away and Joey looks back at Jack* *Cut back to Andie's house. Andie and Pacey are talking*",
"Andie: Columbia had just beaten Cornell. It was homecoming almost exactly a year ago. Dad had had one too many tailgate martinis so Mom was driving. Jack and I were fighting for Tim's attention. We were always fighting for his attention. And, um....she didn't see the truck. Please don't say anything to anyone, Pacey, because I don't want my mom to become the town gossip.",
"Pacey: I won't say a word. Is your mother getting any help?",
"Andie: We've tried. She was in the hospital for a little while. Dad kind of bailed and, um, he checks in once a week. He lives in Providence with the business, which is going under, so he's hurting, too. So it's basically just me. I mean, Jack helps, you know, some. But he kind of lives in this fantasy world where if you don't think about it, then it just didn't happen. I mean, she's not always like this. I mean, sometimes she's fine. But you just never know, and I'm the only one who can handle her, and sometimes that just gets really hard. *She starts crying*",
"Pacey: *trying to hug her* Come here. Come here.",
"*Andie pushes him away.*",
"Andie: No. Don't pity me, okay?",
"Pacey: Andie, come here.",
"Andie: No.",
"Pacey: Come here. *Pacey hugs Andie* It's okay. It's okay. *Cut back to Dawson's house. Joey and Dawson are climbing up the ladder.*",
"Dawson: You were so right about that moon.",
"Joey: Yeah? *Joey starts going through the window and Dawson stops her.*",
"Dawson: Hey, can we just sit outside for a couple minutes?",

"Dawson: You know, let's just forget about everything. All I want to do for the rest of this godforsaken night is just stare at your face in the moonlight because that's the only thing that matters to me. *They kiss*",
"Dawson: Hey, look up in the sky. What do you see? *Joey looks up at the sky.*",
"Joey: The moon?",
"Dawson: No, no. Look at...look at the moon. Close your eyes. Now what do you see? *Joey doesn't say anything.*",
"Dawson: It's the man.",
"Joey: Who?",
"Dawson: The man, remember?",
"Joey: Oh, right, right, right. The man in the moon. I get it. I get it. Oh, but wait!",
"Dawson: What?",
"Joey: It's not a man, Dawson. It's a...woman. *They kiss* Dawson?",
"Dawson: What?",
"Joey: Look I think *she starts to tell him about Jack but sees the depressed look on his face and stops*....you're right. It's a....it's a really beautiful moon. *Cut to Mitch and Gail in the living room*",
"Mitch: Our guests have jumped ship.",
"Gail: It's time, Mitch.",
"Mitch: I know. So..",
"Gail: Do you want me to..",
"Mitch: Mm, I'll go.",
"*Cut to: \"Hands\" by Jewel playing in the background. Cut to Dawson and Joey on the roof staring up at the moon. Dawson starts crying and leans his head on Joey's shoulder. Joey pulls him close. Cut to Jack reading the note the customer left and then looking up at the moon. Cut to Pacey still hugging Andie. Cut to Mitch laying on his bed. Cut to Gail out on the porch in her chair, rocking back and forth. Cut to Jen on her porch steps. Cut back to Dawson and Joey. Joey pulls Dawson closer and looks up at the moon. Cut to a shot of the moon with fog moving over it covering it up*"

"*Dawson's room - a movie is on the television. Dawson is watching it.*",
"Dawson: There's not a single dramatic storyline in existence that Shakespeare didn't conquer first. Family revenge, political intrigue, the great gender battle. The guy mapped it all out for us, and what was his parting lesson? What genre of all genres did he finally arrive at after years of toil and sacrifice? Tragedy.",
"Gail: *offscreen* Shh.",
"Dawson: Like all great romantics, he finally realized that life was a lot more likely to end up with a bunch of dead Danish people on stage than with a kiss.",
"Gail: What a sad movie.",
"Dawson: Mom, you cried at the commertials.",
"Gail: Only that cotton commercial.",
"Dawson: We've got to do something about your perpetual state of melancholy. I'm...concerned about you.",
"Gail: Well, honey, I'm concerned about you. Ever since your breakup with Joey, you haven't said one word about it. Dawson...you haven't even wallowed.",
"Dawson: What good is wallowing? All the wallowing in the world doesn't bring somebody back.",
"Gail: Wallowing isn't about getting them back. It isn't about them at all, it's about you, and learning to allow yourself the few meager advantages of being the dumpee.",
"Dawson: Advantages?",
"Gail: Sure, like allowing yourself to stuff your face with a lifetime supplu of red licorice and doughnuts, or a newfound appreciation for country music.",
"Dawson: Like an excuse to watch the last scene from Field of Dreams?",
"Gail: Acquiring the necessary pain to write bad, bitter poetry.",
"Dawson: A reason to scowl.",
"Gail: A reason to bitch!",
"Dawson: Work out aggression!",
"Gail: Yes! You see, when you think about it, honey, every inch of pain that youches you makes you a deeper, more real individual. Whether you're 16 or...slightly older.",
"Dawson: So it doesn't get any easier?",
"Gail: Nope. You just go to bed earlier. *She gets up off the bed and walks towards the door*",
"Gail: Night, honey.",
"Dawson: 'Night mom. *She turns around*",
"Gail: I hope I was an acceptable substitute for movie night.",
"Dawson: You were great. *Gail leaves and Dawson pops in a new movie and lays back on his bed. He looks over at the empty window, then back to the TV. He pulls out a piece of licorice and eats it.*",
"Teacher: \"What light through yonder window breaks?\" It is the midterm, and your impending failure is but hours away. *passing out books* Blue books. You're notice they're blank, and for many of you, they'll score higher as such than when actually written in. *Dawson leans over and so does Joey and Dawson gives Joey an angry look.*.",
"Teacher: (cont.) Please sign your real name. As to the test, it will cover everything we have studied in English Literature thus far and will be worth 50% of this term's grade. Main points of interest...Shakespeare, Dickens, the romantics, and your favorite, the read everybody's talking about, Beowulf.",
"*A kid in the back, Chris, throws a wad of paper towards Jen. She opens in and it reads, \"Don't forget to smile.\"*",
"Teacher: (cont.) I will be hosting a study session in this classroom at 3:00. It is my recommendation you attend. Unless, of course, your parents have dedicated at least a wing or two to an Ivy League institution in which case your tragic, East Coast aristocratic, social alcoholic fate has already been sealed. This is more than just an exam, people. It's your life. *The bell rings and everybody rushes out of the classroom. Joey follows Dawson.*",
"Joey: Hey. *Dawson keeps walking*",
"Joey: Dawson, at some point we have to say something to each other.",
"Dawson: What would you like me to say, Joey? *They're at his locker*",
"Joey: What do you want to say?",
"Dawson: Go away.",
"Joey: Besides that!",
"Dawson: Joey, you made it very clear you needed space, okay? I am giving you that space.",
"Joey: I didn't think it would mean we'd be cutting off all communication, Dawson.",
"Dawson: What did you think it would mean?",
"Joey: This isn't fair.",
"Dawson: To which one of us? You can't make up all the rules!",
"Joey: I don't want to!",
"Dawson: Then what do you want? *Cut to the cafeteria*",
"Pacey: One day this cafeteria is destined to cook a fry THAT ACTUALLY TASTES LIKE A FRY!",
"Andie: Menage a trois. Ever been in one?",
"Pacey: All hail, the queen of non-sequiturs has spoken.",
"Andie: It's not a non-sequitur. It's this month's Jane.",
"Pacey: Chick magazines are racier than Playboy. There's always some article in there about how to prolong your 'this' or around your 'that'.",
"Andie: This one's a purity test.",
"Pacey: What?",
"Andie: A purity test. You've heard of them. An assortment of sexual questions that when totaled are meant to gauge your level of sexual experience.",
"Pacey: *nervously* Okey-dokey. Time to put that away now.",
"Andie: Why? It's fun!",
"Pacey: Gauging our level of sexual expertise is not really my idea of joy abounding.",
"Andie: Don't think I don't know where this is going, Pacey Witter. I know your history.",
"Pacey: *surprised* You do?",
"Andie: Sure. You're a typical guy. You want everyone to think you have unseemly, adventurous sexual existence when in fact your purity level is probably closer to Big Bird's than Bill Clinton's.",
"Pacey: Yeah, you know what? You got me. That's me...Mr. Embarrassingly Pure. *They exit into the hallway*",
"Andie: Whatever. So am I going to see you at Peterson's Cram-o-Rama?",
"Pacey: That would imply that I am going.",
"Andie: No, no, Pacey, you CAN NOT bail on this study session. It's way too important.",
"Pacey: To you.",
"Andie: No, no, no. To anyone who cares about their grade.",
"Pacey: Well, see, there's the rub. Yo soy not concerned.",
"Andie: Don't joke about this.",
"Pacey: I'm serious. As committed as you are to doing everything in your power to get an A, I'm equally committed to getting my C, possibly D if I can't get a good look at your answer sheet.",
"Andie: Pacey!",
"Pacey: Give me one good reason why I should go.",
"Andie: Me!",
"Pacey: Okay...fine. I'll go. Just don't expect me to stay awake. *Cut to the track. Chris walks up to Jen.*",
"Chris: Jen-a-lish Delish.",
"Jen: Hey Chris, what's up?",
"Chris: Long run today. Thought you'd be looking for someone to keep stride with.",
"Jen: And you'd like to be that someone?",
"Chris: I'm a good pacer. I know when to speed up and when to slow down.",
"Jen: And when to leave someone alone?",
"Chris: Jen, is there a particular reason why you're not receptive to my wily charms?",
"Jen: Other than the fact that you emit them regularly to any skirt within a 6-mile radius?",
"Chris: Actually, I have a car so it's more like the tri-state area. *Jen smiles*",
"Chris: Ah-ha! A smile. Mission accomplished.",
"Jen: Later, Chris. *He walks away. Dawson walks up*",
"Dawson: And the hawk circles.",
"Jen: He's just being cute, which he really is.",
"Dawson: You seen his love 'em and leave 'em rap sheet? It's epic.",
"Jen: Relax, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Just looking out...so, you hitting the study session?",
"Jen: Oh, doubt it. Not much into the \"Applying Myself\" zone these days. How about you?",
"Dawson: Well, it's either that or another evening watching some awful, seventies tearjerker with my mother. You should go.",
"Jen: I'll tell you what, Dawson. Since it doesn't look like I'll be having a hot night of unbridled passion with Romeo over there, *Cut to Chris talking to another girl* I'll consider it.",
"Dawson: Okay. *Cut to Andie reading a note on a classroom door*",
"Andie: Dear Class, I want home with a cold that was considerably more important that you. The test is still on for tomorrow. Study the sample questions. Until then, hardly yours, Mr. Peterson.",
"Pacey: So he bailed on his own study session.",
"Joey: Great.",
"Chris: *to Jen* We should have our own study session. My folks are in Saint Martin. We'll have the whole house to ourselves.",
"Jen: Like we'd get a lot of work done that way.",
"Chris: The lady questions my motives? Invite your friends. *to Pacey and Andie* You two interested? Let's study at my place.",
"Andie: I was thinking more along the lines of the city library. *Pacey stops Andie*",
"Pacey: Whoa! His offer does have certain enticing qualities.",
"Andie: Since when have you been in such a rush to form a study group?",
"Pacey: Have you ever seen this man's house?! His family is totally loaded. They got a satellite dish. *Andie shakes her head no*",
"Pacey: Oh, come on!",
"Andie: *giving in* Alright, we're in.",
"Chris: Cool. I'll drive. *to Jen* Young lady, will you be join us?",
"Jen: How can I resist? *Cut to Andie catching up with Joey*",
"Andie: Hey, Joey. So what are your study plans?",
"Joey: Oh, just me, my English lit book, and a loud, crying baby.",
"Andie: Good. Then you can come with me.",
"Joey: Where?",
"Andie: A study session at Chris Wolfe's. I can't do this alone.",
"Joey: Chris Wolfe's? You're going to rely on Chris Wolfe to provide a suitable study environment? I think I'm better off with the loud, crying baby.",
"Andie: Okay, do you honestly believe I would let this night be anything less than ridiculously beneficial? Trust me. I'm in mega-control of this event. *Cut to Pacey and Dawson*",
"Pacey: Hey Dawson! Where you headed little buddy?",
"Dawson: Well, Skipper, I saw Peterson's note. I'm headed home.",
"Pacey: I'm actually headed to a different study session, if you're up for it.",
"Dawson: \"Different study session\"? Is this Pacey Witter code for party? Brothel? Road trip to Disneyland?",
"Pacey: Believe it or not, this is a true meeting of intellectuals in a highly moderated studious environment and that, my friend, is our ride. So what do you say?",
"Dawson: Sure.. *Dawson opens the door to the car and sees Joey and is a little perturbed. He gets in* *Cut to the gang going into Chris' huge house.*",
"Chris: Uh, the TV is that way. *points* The Jacuzzi and sauna are out back. We keep extra suits in the guest room, and the kitchen's that way *points* if you get hungry.",
"Joey: *to Andie* Sounds like we're going to get a lot of studying done.",
"Andie: Reminder, I'm in complete control here.",
"Dina: AHEM! *The attention turns to a girl reading a magazine in the other room. She's about 12, maybe?*",
"Chris: Everyone, my little sister, Dina.She promises to stay out of the way.",
"Andie: Nope. This room isn't going to do. We're going to need a long table, proper lighting, and high-backed chairs. Where's Pacey? *She finds Pacey in the other room with the TV flipping through channels*",
"Pacey: Hey, check this out. 200 channels from all over the world. It's a couch potato's dream. Look at that! 3 Stooges in Cantonese.",
"Andie: Why do you insist on undermining me at every opportunity you get?",
"Pacey: Think of how boring the alternative is.",
"Andie: Look, I'm going to need your help with our attention deficit host, okay? There's no way I can expend energy rounding up the both of you. Now, come on!",
"Pacey: *whining* But I wanna watch TV... *Cut to the room. The group is around a table and Andie is standing up with WAY too much energy*",
"Andie: So, the plan of attack is simple. Using this book, we'll spend 30 minutes on each of the various sections: Victorian poetry, Shakespeare, Dickens, etc. And, by my watch, if we allow for a few 15 minute breaks, we'll be able to cover the entire course load by midnight. That will still give us enough time to do an hour speed round and get a good night's sleep. Sound good? *It's quiet*",
"Chris: Anybody want to order a pizza?",
"Joey: Me!",
"Dawson: Absolutely, yeah.",
"Pacey: Hey, I got it! Listen, why don't you just think of this as several of our 15 minutes breaks strung together? *Cut to the kitchen and Chris is going through the wine talking to Jen*",
"Chris: Got a bottle in here from '84. It's from Napa.",
"Jen: Fancy.",
"Chris: Well, actually the wine is made by a married couple who have sort of a Mom-and-Pop vineyard thing going. I was taught to choose quality over labels.",
"Jen: I think we're getting to know each other minus sexual overtones. Well, it is possible.",
"Chris: You know, Jen, it bothers me that you assume the worst about me. I don't about you.",
"Jen: Well, given our previous encounters, plus your reputation, what would you expect me to assume?",
"Chris: That we're a lot alike. That reputations aren't worth the air they're written on, and that the only way to really get to know someone is by getting to know them.",
"Jen: Deal.",
"Chris: I don't want to let go just yet.. *Cut back to the room. Andie is quizzing people.*",
"Andie: Okay, for 200 points: The most famous of the romantic poets?",
"Jen: The Pope.",
"Andie: Wrong. Dawson?",
"Dawson: Shelley?",
"Andie: Wrong again.",
"Chris: \"Two beings were drifting, each one to the other, no moments, veil-liting, or hint from other.\" Hardy.",
"Andie: Impressive, but wrong! Pacey?",
"Pacey: \"Would you eat them in a box? Would you eat them with a fox?\" Seuss!",
"Andie: I so hate you right now.",
"Joey: Keats. It was Keats.",
"Andie: Ding, ding! Okay...for an additional 100 points, can you give us his most famous quote? *Dawson stares at Joey.*",
"Dawson: \"Beauty is truth, truth beauty.\"",
"Joey: Um, he's right. I forgot.",
"Dawson: It would seem so.",
"Chris: Whoa, maybe we shoudl hit that hot tub? What do you think, chill out a bit?",
"Andie: We've been chillin' out for 2 hours. What we need to do now is FOCUS.",
"Chris: Well, then, what do we have here? Why did I take you more for the National Geographic type?",
"Jen: You've got to be kidding me! \"How Pure are You?\" God, talk about an open can of worms.",
"Chris: Oh, excellent.",
"Andie: No way, no. We're already behind.",
"Chris: Come on, Lieutenant! I vote for one last bonding event before I go back to academic torture.",
"Jen: Why not? *They all head into another room.*",
"Andie: Okay, in an effort to keep this moment of folly under control, I'm taking charge. There's 100 questions total, and I only have one test. We'll pass it around and take turns asking. Write your answers on the paper and we'll total when finish. Okay, um, Pacey? Whydon't you start?",
"Pacey: Alrighty. Question #1: \"Have you ever been intimately aroused by a relative?\" So, it's a southern test, huh? *timelapse*",
"Jen: #13: \"Have you ever experimented with bondage?\" *timelapse*",
"Joey: \"Have you ever gotten cozy in an airplane?\" *timelapse*",
"Andie: \"..in a public place?\" *timelapse*",
"Chris: \"..in your parent's bed?\" *timelapse*",
"Dawson: \"Have you ever caught your parents having s*x?\" *timelapse*",
"Pacey: #63: \"Have you ever named your most private of regions?\"",
"Jen: #69 *laughing*",
"Jen: (cont.) \"Have you ever participated in..\" *timelapse*",
"Joey: \"Have you ever engaged in sexual activity with a member of the same s*x?\" *timelapse*",
"Andie: \"...with a transvestite?\" *timelapse*",
"Pacey: \"...with a 4-legged creature?\" *timelapse*",
"Dawson: \"Have you ever paid for s*x?\"",
"Chris: Does dinner count?",
"Andie: Question #84: \"Have you ever fantasized about a friend's significant other?\" *silence*",
"Andie: (cont.) Very quiet in the room all of a sudden.",
"Jen: \"Have you ever had an affair with a friend's significant other?\"",
"Chris: In my fantasy.",
"Pacey: Give me this. *takes magazine* \"Have you ever had an affair with a friend's pet?\" How come I get all the animal questions?",
"*timelapse*",
"Joey: Okay, #100: *pauses* \"Have you ever been in love? If so, how many times? Give yourself a point of purity for each time.\" *Joey looks at Dawson.*",
"Andie: Okay, let's score 'em up! Everybody ready? *Joey leaves the room.* *Cut to Dawson walking into the kitchen where Joey is.*",
"Joey: Not now, Dawson.",
"Dawson: I saw the look on your face when you read that question.",
"Joey: Is this your version of space?",
"Dawson: You're free to leave anytime. I don't see you making a rush for the door.",
"Joey: That's because I came here to study. I didn't know you were coming.",
"Dawson: Is it so awful that I'm here?",
"Joey: No! Stop putting words into my mouth. I asked for time, Dawson, just time. Please respect that. *She leaves. Dia is in the doorway.*",
"Dia: Issues. Dawson, right? Dina Wolfe here, in case you didn't remember.",
"Dawson: Dina, do you know where the coffee is?",
"Dina: Yeah, drip or instant?",
"Dawson: Um, drip.",
"Dina: Appropriate. Tough room.",
"Dawson: With me, always.",
"Dina: So, care to fill me in on the details of your little love affair?",
"Dawson: Id' rather not discuss it, actually, thanks.",
"Dina: You're right, Dawson. Why talk? People like you and me, we can say everything with a look. *She looks at Dawson and Dawson looks at her like she's lost it.*",
"Andie: And the totals are as follows, Chris clocked in with the least pure score of 66%, Jen is a close second with 69%, Joey and Dawson bring us up the scale with a matching level of 85%, and I round us up with a 92%. Wait a minute...we're missing one here.",
"Pacey: *holds up his* It's right here.",
"Andie: Oh, why didn't you turn it in?",
"Pacey: Didn't really want to.",
"Andie: Hand it over.",
"Chris: You dog! This wouldn't have anything to do with question #16.",
"Andie: #16? I don't get it.",
"Chris: Yeah, we blew right past it, but I think we should read it again aloud. What do you say, Pace?",
"Pacey: Chris..",
"Chris: Come on. Stop it. I'm dying to know. What'd you put for 16, Witter? Let's just put an old rumor to rest right now.",
"Pacey: Is there anything redeeming about you other than your house?",
"Chris: Ouch.",
"Andie: Okay, will someone please tell me what you guys are talking about? Okay, I'll look it up myself. Um, 16: \"Have you ever had s*x with someone...twice your age?\" Huh? It's a joke, right?",
"Chris: Well, it's true after all. Witter laid the pipe with Miss Jacobs. I don't know whether to congratulate you or fall off my chair.",
"Andie: Miss Jacobs...the teacher who left Capeside? Pacey...you said that you were embarrassingly pure. Those were your words, right? *She walks off. Pacey leaves.* *Cut to Chris and Dawson out by the Jacuzzi*",
"Dawson: Chris, do you know where they may have gone?",
"Chris: I'm telling you, they're out there screwing around by now. Everyone knows makeup s*x is the best kind.",
"Dawson: I wouldn't know.",
"Chris: Don't worry, bud. The way you and Joey are going at it, there's bound to be some serious make-up s*x in your future. So...",
"Dawson: So?",
"Chris: How am I doing?",
"Dawson: With?",
"Chris: The lovely Jen Lindley. You guys used to date. You know how she thinks. She likes me, huh?",
"Dawson: Well, you never have had much trouble attracting the opposite s*x, Chris.",
"Chris: Yeah, but, uh, Jen's different. She's too with it. Closing the deal requires a completely different strategy.",
"Dawson: You mean sleeping with her.",
"Chris: No, I mean a heavy game of Uno.",
"Dawson: It's not going to happen.",
"Chris: We'll see.",
"Dawson: You know, Chris, Jen is in this really weird vulnerable state right now. Don't take advantage of that.",
"Chris: Relax. We won't do anything she's not looking forward to.",
"Dawson: We'll see.",
"Chris: Ah, if it's proof you need, you see that light up there in the guest house? When that light's off, that means I'm inside with Jen...lowering both our purity levels, and you? You'll be out here alone. Let me know if you need to borrow a swimsuit.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"*Cut to Jen and Joey in the guestroom.*",
"Jen: God, I can't believe this place. They've got brand-new swimsuits just for visitors. Nice digs. What's the matter, Jo? You're not going to give in to a little hot tub temptation?",
"Joey: I'm just going to study, thanks.",
"Jen: You know, I really am sorry about you and Dawson and I know that you may not believe it.",
"Joey: You know, you're right! I don't!",
"Jen: Thanks, Joey. Thanks for making our conversation just as delightful as ever.",
"Joey: Anytime.",
"Jen: You know, I used to think that it was our mutual feelings for Dawson that kept us apart. I never really considered the fact that maybe you were just a bitch.",
"Joey: Look, Jen. I didn't mean to be so harsh. God, I am so sick of talking all the time. I just want to follow my feelings and not discuss it. We run it into the ground and...don't you just want to have something left to just experience?",
"Jen: As much as anyone. *Cut to Pacey walking up to Andie sitting on the swing*",
"Pacey: I was beginning to think you walked all the way home.",
"Andie: Why didn't you tell me about her?",
"Pacey: It never came up.",
"Andie: No good, Pacey. It did, and you lied.",
"Pacey: Come on, Andie, what was I supposed to say?",
"Andie: Okay, well how about for starters, \"Oh, before you fall for me, Andie, I slept with my teacher.\"",
"Pacey: Oh, right, there's an easy sentence.",
"Andie: It's not a joke, okay? I'm serious, and despite your braggart tendencies, Pacey, it's not exactly an admirable event.",
"Pacey: That's not fair, Andie. You're judging me, and you don't even know the circumstances. Besides, I slept with her, not you.",
"Andie: Why would you do it, Pacey?",
"Pacey: Why? s*x.",
"Andie: Oh, so there were no feelings involved.",
"Pacey: Of course there were feelings involved. You asked why.",
"Andie: Okay, I take it back. I don't want to know anymore. You're not like that.",
"Pacey: Of course I'm like that! I'm a sexual creature, Andie, and so are you. Why do you think we talk about it so much? Why do you think we joke about it? Why do you think we give each other tests to see how pure we are?",
"Andie: No, no, no! That's different. That's completely innocent.",
"Pacey: No, it's not! The test was about s*x, and s*x is never innocent! It's intense, it's passionate, and sometimes it can be life-altering, but it's never innocent, Andie, and I'm really sorry if this changes the way that you feel about me, but I can't change that. And if things are going to continue between us, I think you're just going to have to accept that. *Cut to inside.*",
"Chris: Yo Jen! Hot tub's ready.",
"Jen: *upstairs* Be right down. *Chris leaves and Jen comes downstairs. Dawson stops her.*",
"Dawson: Jen, hey!",
"Jen: Dawson, what? You're not going in?",
"Dawson: No, um, can I talk to you for a second?",
"Jen: Yeah...",
"Dawson: I'm worried Chris doesn't exactly have the best of intentions here.",
"Jen: Tell me something I don't know.",
"Dawson: You're aware that his goal is to sleep with you tonight?",
"Jen: He's a guy. He's 16 and he...seems to find me attractive, so yes, I would assume he's got some sort of agenda.",
"Dawson: And you're okay with that?",
"Jen: Just because he has some sort of master plan doesn't mean that I've got to go along with it.",
"Dawson: Okay!",
"Jen: And for that matter, why do you assume that I don't have a plan of my own? *She walks outside toward the jacuzzi* *Dina's in the doorway again*",
"Dina: Psst! Gorgeous!",
"Dawson: What? Do you hide in the vents?",
"Dina: So you dated both of them, huh?",
"Dawson: You certainly do your research.",
"Dina: Which one's the one? On your test, you put you'd been in love once. I'm dying to know. Is it Cameron Diaz or Julia Roberts?",
"Dawson: How did you--",
"Dina: It's called an answer sheet. It's called...*holds it up* here!",
"Dawson: *reaches for it* Give me that!",
"Dina: Wait, NOT SO FAST! I have one you want much more.",
"Dawson: Joey's?",
"Dina: She puts a little smiley face in her O's. Kind of makes me want to puke.",
"Dawson: Let me see it.",
"Dina: Not so fast, this toll has a fee.",
"Dawson: Okay. What? *She puckers up*",
"Dawson: You've got to be kidding me. That's not going to happen.",
"Dina: I think you'll find her last answer rather interesting. Seems while you've only been in love once, according to you-know-who's answer sheet, she's been in love...twice. *Cut to Jen and Chris in the jacuzzi*",
"Jen: Alright, that's enough. It's time to study.",
"Chris: No, no. Relax. We're in a hot tub. Studying's not permitted.",
"Jen: Really? Then, what is?",
"Chris: This. *They start kissing*",
"Jen: And...what if I don't want to mess around?",
"Chris: Then we won't. Jen, I'm not a bad guy. I just want to have fun.",
"Jen: Well, then tell me, Christopher Robbin, what is your idea of fun?",
"Chris: This. *They start kissing again*",
"Chris: So, Jen...are we on the same page?",
"Jen: Same page. *Cut to Pacey and Dawson.*",
"Dawson: Is she okay?",
"Pacey: Yeah. She'll be fine. She just wants to be alone right now, you know?",
"Dawson: Why didn't you just write \"no\"?",
"Pacey: I didn't want to lie to her. I mean, I don't know. What would you have done?",
"Dawson: I'd like to think I would have been honest. I don't know. It's...I seem to have trouble saying a lot of things lately.",
"Pacey: You know what?",
"Dawson: What?",
"Pacey: Try harder. *Cut to Dawson walking towards Joey on the patio*",
"Joey: Look, no more rounds tonight, Dawson. I am so tired. I'm actually trying to get 5 minutes of studying in.",
"Dawson: Jo, I thought what we had was special.",
"Joey: Look, I'm serious. I don't want to talk about anything but this.",
"Dawson: You wrote that you have been in love twice.",
"Joey: You looked at my test?!",
"Dawson: No, I've learned my lesson about invading your personal privacy. Chris's little sister was kind enough to impart that information. Joey, you said that I was your world. When did you have time for guy #2? I don't believe you're shallow enough to fall in love with Jack after one kiss.",
"Joey: Look, stop it!",
"Dawson: I don't understand!",
"Joey: I don't know, okay?! Why can't we go back to the way things were? Why can't we just be friends, Dawson?",
"Dawson: That's what you want?",
"Joey: Yes!",
"Dawson: After all we've been through, just friends?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Dawson: If you don't understand why that can't happen, if you don't get that, you don't get me! *Joey walks off* *Dina's in the doorway...again*",
"Dina: Very emotional. Oscar nominating. Really.",
"Dawson: Go away.",
"Dina: Dawson, you aren't crying, are you?",
"Dawson: You wanted a kiss. Is that what you want? Are you prepared for everything that comes with that kiss? 'Cause it doesn't just end with a fade out. There are repercussions. Hearts get broken. Friendships get ruined. Your entire life could fall apart because of one kiss. That's what you have to look forward to. Do yourself a big favor...don't rush it. *She runs off and Dawson turns around to find Joey staring at him in shock about his outburst. Dawson sits down on the steps and looks out towards the jacuzzi...Jen and Chris aren't there. Then, he looks up to the guest house and the light is off. He puts his head in his hands.* *Cut to Joey knocking on Dina's door.*",
"Dina: What do you want?",
"Joey: To hang out with the only sane individual here.",
"Dina: He's so mean.",
"Joey: All boys are. It's their easiest way of expressing themselves.",
"Dina: After tonight, I'm avoiding growing up at all costs.",
"Joey: Sounds good. Let me know if you have any luck.",
"Dina: Aren't you supposed to be arguing the other side? Convincing me that growing up can be such a beautiful experience if I just let it?",
"Joey: I see. You want the \"I'm older than you, so here's how it works\" speech? How's this? Growing up sucks. Not all kisses are magic, and most boys do not live up to your expectations, but there are those times when everything, I mean love, romance, relationships, it all falls together perfectly and it's incredible. It's those moments, no matter how depressingly few and far between, that make growing up worth it. You'll be okay. *Cut to Dawson flipping through pages in a book. Timelapse and it's daylight. He wakes up and walks into the house finding Joey, Pacey, and Andie asleep.*",
"Andie: Oh, my God! Tell me it is not 6 am.",
"Dawson: It's 6am.",
"Andie: Wake up, wake up! Pacey, the test is in 4 hours. Oh my God! I must have been studying and I passed out.",
"Pacey: Hey, relax. Where's the binder?",
"Dawson: Binder's on the porch, I'll get it.",
"Andie: We don't have any time!",
"Joey: What's happening? Where is everyone?",
"Andie: Everyone is totally asleep, totally unstuidied, totally unprepared, and totally screwed! *Cut to the guestroom*",
"Chris: Morning.",
"Jen: Hey.",
"Chris: They're getting up. We should get down there. Thank you.",
"Jen: For?",
"Chris: For a very fun night.",
"Jen: Hang on a s*x, I'll get dressed and come down with you.",
"Chris: No, no. That's cool. Just, take your time. I'll meet you down there. *Cut to the room with the group around a table.*",
"Pacey: Alright, everybody, listen up! We got exactly 4 concentrated hours in which to study for the deadliest exam of our young adult lives. Now, going off an abbreviated version of Andie's lesson plan, I plan on constructing a 3 hour and 45 minute lesson plan, which, if executed properly, will cover everything. You following me?",
"Andie: Pacey, this test--",
"Pacey: Shh! Listen, don't worry. Boys and girls, you happen to be in the hands of a professional crammer. We'll start with Beowulf. How many monsters did he have to fight and name one.",
"Andie: 3.",
"Dawson: Grendel.",
"Pacey: Good, now on to the hard stuff. *Cut to the group in the kitchen making toast and pouring orange juice*",
"Pacey: Which one of the Bronte sisters wrote Wuthering Heights?",
"Joey: Emily.",
"Jen: Charlotte.",
"Dawson: It was Emily.",
"Andie: Charlotte!",
"Pacey: Charlotte wrote Jane Eyre.",
"Jen: Then what did Emily write?",
"Joey: Wuthering Heights. *Cut to the group out by the pool in shades.*",
"Dawson: \"To be or not to be. That is the question.\"",
"Chris: \"Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings...\" *Cut back inside*",
"Pacey: Name the little people in Gulliver's Travels.",
"Dawson: Lilliputions.",
"Pacey: The big bad scary people.",
"Joey: Brob..",
"Chris: Brob..brob..",
"Andie: Bromd...brom..",
"Dawson: D-ding? *Cut back to the gang by the pool.*",
"Jen: \"Arms against a sea of troubles.\"",
"Pacey: To sleep.. *Cut back inside to the pool table*",
"Pacey: Name 3 occupations of travelers in the Canterbury Tales.",
"Dawson: Knight!",
"Andie: Summoner!",
"Pacey: Come on! Come on!",
"Dawson: Did we say knight? *Cut back out to the pool*",
"Andie: \"And by a sleep to say we end..\"",
"Joey: \"To die, to sleep, to speep perchance to dream.\"",
"Dawson: I'll buy it. *Cut back inside.*",
"Andie: Bromdaming! Bromdaming!",
"Jen: Brobdingnagians.",
"Pacey: Yes! *Cut to the room again where they're once again back around the table*",
"Pacey: Congratulations, guys, we're done, but I got one last group activity. *He looks towards the pool. He starts sprinting for it and everybody follows. One by one they jump in.* *Cut to them climbing out of the pool.*",
"Andie: Wow. You really took control in there. You have an interesting way of doing that.",
"Pacey: Yeah, well, I perform well under pressure.",
"Andie: I want to explain sometime to you.",
"Pacey: You really don't have to talk about this, Andie.",
"Andie: I do, Pacey. I mean, I'm the queen of keeping dirty secrets. So I understand why you didn't jump forward with the information. I think I was just more shocked by the idea that you have so much experience and I, um...",
"Pacey: Will.",
"Andie: You're such a jerk!",
"Pacey: A slacker jerk.",
"Andie: A champion slacker jerk.",
"Pacey: And what does that make you?",
"Andie: I don't know, Pacey. You tell me. I dare you.",
"Pacey: You, Andie McPhee, are the girl that I love to hate.",
"Andie: I love to hate you, too. *They kiss.*",
"Andie: Not forgiven.",
"Pacey: It's a no? *Cut to Dawson walking up to Joey in a robe drying her clothes*",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Joey: Hey.",
"Dawson: Can we talk?",
"Joey: Sure.",
"Dawson: Do me a favor and don't say anything, okay? Because everytime we speak I screw this up, so just please listen.",
"Joey: Okay.",
"Dawson: All I've been thinking about lately is how much I want to take back our first kiss. How much I would pay to just let you climb through that window. I mean, who knows what would have happened? Maybe we'd still be best friends. Maybe you'd even still have a thing for me. I just know that I wouldn't be hurting like this. But then I think about everything that kiss brought into my life. What it was like to look at you and know not just what you were thinking, but also what you were feeling because I was feeling the same thing, and then it's worth it. It's..worth all the pain that I'm going through. I want to regret kissing you, Joey, but I can't. It was the smartest decision I ever made.",
"Joey: Dawson, the 2 times I feel in love, on the test, they were both you. I mean, the first time I fell was for my friend, the Dawson I grew up with, the boy across the creek, and the second time was after we kissed. I mean, you became this whole new person to me and....I fell in love all over again. I mean, just because we're not together anymore does not change my feelings for you, Dawson. It's me I'm unsure of.",
"Dawson: Joey, I'm going to give you that space. No hostility, no underhanded comments, just space. But that doesn't change the way I feel about you. Nothing can change that. *Dawson leaves. Cut to outside everyone's getting in the car.*",
"Pacey: Come on, Dawson! Let's go! *Dawson gets in and Joey gets in next to him and they smile at each other. Cut to the school. Dawson reads a note on the door*",
"Dawson: Dear Class, sometimes preparation teaches you more than the exam itself; therefore, you have more of it. My illness has claimed me for another day. Test rescheduled.\"",
"Andie: Well, looks like we crammed all night for nothing.",
"Joey: Now what are we supposed to do?",
"Andie: Go to our other classes, I guess.",
"Pacey: Actually, no. I got one last group activity. Follow me. *Cut to the football field where Joey, Dawson, Jen, Chris, Andie and Pacey are sleeping in a circle in the middle of the field.* End."

"Jen: Okay..the truth truth or the 'what Dawson wants to hear' truth?",

"Jen: No. *Dawson covers his face with his hands*",
"Jen: Dawson, Dawson, no, I didn't hate it. I just thought that it was, I don't know, for the lack of a better word....fluff.",
"Dawson: Fluff. Fluff?! How can it be fluff Jen?! My heart and soul went into that script!",
"Jen: I'm just saying that your heart and soul depicting the lives and loves of these teens in a small town just seems like it comes from a nieve sort of point of view.",
"Dawson: I-I-It's supposed to be nieve, Jen! It's about the magic--the age of innocence, you know? Sexual awakening. The magic of first love.",
"Jen: Dawson, look, your script is good, okay? It's funny and it's timely and it's smart and it's well-written. It's just lacking relevance to today's society. *Dawson sighs*",
"Jen: You go out of your way to comment on teen life, but say very little about it. *Dawson leans his head against the closet*",
"Dawson: If you move that knife just a hair to the left, you might get the jugular. *Jen pats him on the back*",
"Jen: C'mere, c'mere. I'm not sending you spiraling into a depression here, all I'm saying is it's just lacking a little uumph, you know? The anger and the edge and just the raw, dark pain that comes with being young.",
"Dawson: Jen, I am raw and dark. *Jen laughs*",
"Dawson: What?",
"Jen: Okay, okay, in theory, maybe.",
"Dawson: What?",
"Jen: In theory, maybe. All I'm saying is you just lack the proof and facts to back that up.",
"Dawson: Proof and facts? What do I need to prove the fact that I'm raw and dark? Do I need to take, like, a gun to school?",
"Jen: No, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Kill my parents in their sleep? What exactly?",
"Jen: No you just need to loosen up a little bit, okay?",
"Dawson: I--",
"Jen: Move on. Start writing from the gut. Stop responding with such an adult perspective.",
"Dawson: And how do I do that?",
"Jen: Teenage 101. *Dawson looks at her confused.*",
"Jen: Maybe it's time you start pretending like you really are 15. *Dawson acts like he's still confused.*",
"Jen: I think...I think I could actually show you how to reclaim those missing years. C'mon, Dawson, what do you say? *Dawson looks as if he's so not into this.* *Cut to Joey walking to school. Andie comes up.*",
"Andie: Hey Joey! I was hoping I'd see you today. I mean, I see you everyday but this is different.",
"Joey: It's 7am. Slow down.",
"Andie: Okay, well, let me explain. Last night I had a hard time sleeping which is really strange for me because usually I'm out like a light, but anyways, I was laying there and all of a sudden I had this epiphany(sp?). I know this is going to sound really strange, but it involved you.",
"Joey: It's kind of early in the day for epiphanies, Andie, but thanks for sharing.",
"Andie: Let me explain, this is important. Student council elections are right around the corner and I was thinking I could make a lot of positive changes as sophomore class president.",
"Joey: And...",
"Andie: And a really great presidential candidate needs a really great running mate. That would be you.",
"Joey: No way. Forget about it, Andie. I don't do student government.",
"Andie: No, no, no, Joey. I checked your GPA and you are in the top 3% of the class. You have a responsibility to let the academically less fortunate benefit from your wisdom.",
"Joey: Maybe you haven't heard, Andie, but I'm not exactly Miss Congeniality of Capeside, okay? And adding my name to your ticket would only assure you a loss. And everybody knows my sort-of family history, okay?",
"Andie: Look, in the high school chronological chart, it's ancient history. And your average teenager has an attention span of just under 2 seconds. You've got a clean slate, Joey, so will you at least think about it? *They walk into school.*",
"Joey: Look, Andie, I'm flattered, but I'd only screw up your chances, trust me. I gotta go. *Joey hurries off to class. Pacey rounds the corner. He catches up to her and kisses her on the neck*",
"Andie: *smiles* Hey, you.",
"Pacey: What's shakin' McPhee? *Chris hands Andie a flyer.*",
"Chris: Hey man, vote for Chris & Abby on election day.",
"Abby: Wherever you go, Pacey, the slacker vote follows.",
"Pacey: And, once again, Abby, your natural, irrepressible charm shines it's way through. *Andie laughs*",
"Pacey: Fabulous. James Bond and Prissy Galore are going to rule our class.",
"Andie: Not necessarily.",
"Pacey: Who's going to beat them?",
"Andie: Me.",
"Pacey: Yeah, right.",
"Andie: No, I'm serious, Pacey.",
"Pacey: What sane person would want to waste their time on school politics when they could be spending oodles of quality time with me.",
"Andie: Because it all falls into my master plan. School politics looks great on college applications.",
"Pacey: Who's your running mate going to be?",
"Andie: Still working on that one, but you're going to be my campaign manager.",
"Pacey: I am?",
"Andie: Yep. 'Cause I wouldn't want us to miss out on our 'oodles of quality time.' *They turn the corner and walk by a girl's bathroom when Jen walks out and heads towards Dawson's locker.*",
"Jen: Hey Dawson. What's up?",
"Dawson: Oh, just doing the same old fluff, irrevelant existance in the middle age darklessness.",
"Jen: Okay, so why don't we do something about that?",
"Dawson: Like what?",
"Jen: Cut class.",
"Dawson: What?!",
"Jen: Ditch. Bail. Leave the premises without permission. Something that normal students do at random.",
"Dawson: Not even in the realm of possibility.",
"Jen: Why not?",
"Dawson: First of all, I don't believe that cutting class is a \"missing\" experience that will unleash all the answers of the universe to me and I have a quiz in history.",
"Jen: Okay, so you can make it up tomorrow. Dawson, in order to write about being a teenager you actually need to experience being one.",
"Dawson: Next week, I promise. *They start walking*",
"Jen: Life is composed of moments. Just like your script. And you have to take those moments as they come, impulses only.",
"Dawson: *stops* Okay. Let's do it.",
"Jen: Really?",
"Dawson: Yeah, impulse, let's cut, c'mon. You lead.",
"Jen: Alright. *Jen turns to head out the door and Dawson darts into his classroom. Jen gets outside the door and turns around and doesn't see Dawson. She sighs.* *CUT TO Leery household.*",
"Gail: I'm sorry, Mitch. I just didn't know who else to call.",
"Mitch: It's fixed. Go ahead, turn it on. Turn it to rinse. *It works. Then the door flies open and water sprays all over Mitch and Gail and Gail starts laughing hysterically and Mitch hurries and closes the door.*",
"Mitch: You think this is real funny, don't you?",
"Gail: I think it's hilarious.",
"Mitch: I'm sure you do. *He takes off his wet shirt.*",
"Gail: You're drenched.",
"Mitch: Look at you, you're not so dry yourself. *He squeezes his shirt out and splashes water on Gail. She gets a dish towel.*",
"Gail: Uh huh, well look at you. *Their eyes meet.*",
"Gail: Mitch? *They start making out heavily and he puts her on the counter where she takes off her shirt and then they move over to the dining room table where they continue to make out. Dawson opens the door and sees them and looks surprised but smiles and leaves and closes the door. He's shown outside with a confused, yet happy, look on his face.* *Cut to the Icehouse. Jack and Joey are stacking coffee creamers.*",
"Joey: Did you inherit your clumsy genes from your mother or your father? I mean, Andie's not clumsy...a little high strung...but not clumsy. *Jack sets one and knocks the whole thing down.*",
"Jack: Alright, best 2 outta 3. Loser cleans the deep fryer.",
"Joey: Seriously, I mean, I take after my mom. Who do you take after? Your mother or your father? I'm guessing it's your mom.",
"Jack: Okay, alright, you win. I'll clean the deep fryer. But I'm a little fuzzy on the process so you might have to stay late and help me with the proper procedure.",
"Joey: How do you do that?",
"Jack: What?",
"Joey: Everytime I ask you something a little personal you somehow manage to change the subject and not answer.",
"Jack: Are you saying I purposely tanked the coffee creamer tower? Joey, I'm insulted.",
"Joey: Seriously, Jack. I mean we talk all the time but whenever it starts to get a little deep you get all weird and vague. You know I have asked you 6 questions tonight and you haven't answered one.",
"Jack: Well, that's because you have to ask me 7. You see, 7 is the magic number.",
"Joey: Here we go again. Why do you make light out of everything?",
"Jack: Because I'm a loof, intraverted, and unsociable. So there, I answered. *Abby and Chris have entered and taken a seat.*",
"Abby: EXCUSE ME! Could we get a couple of menus over here, please? *Joey looks at them disgusted. She hands them two menus.*",
"Abby: Preferably not with yesterday's special rotting on them. *Joey hands her another one.*",
"Chris: Why'd you bring me to this dive?",
"Abby: Because we have to talk strategy in private, and you can always count on this place to be deserted. The service here is even worse than the food. *Joey turns around and walks back to the counter.*",
"Jack: So you're content on letting those two represent your class?",
"Joey: They're not the only ones running, Jack.",
"Jack: *laughs* Oh, please! Kenny Reily? That guy has no chance. Where's your sense of civic duty? *Joey shrugs.*",
"Joey: I don't know. I've just never been the type to, you know, get involved in school activities.",
"Jack: Well you weren't into art until recently. Maybe that will change.",
"Joey: Yeah, but, student government is a huge leap, Jack, I mean, putting yourself out there for public scrutiny...",
"Jack: Yeah, but you should run, Joey. Andie needs you. *Abby is listening*",
"Jack: (cont.) You know, she's new here and it'll be hard for her to get votes but you. You have this amazing girl-next-door quality. This is your chance to make a difference. For your talents to rise to the occasion. Don't limit yourself, Joey. You're a born leader.",
"Abby: Yeah, more like born loser. You actually think that you have any chance running against me? Get real. You throw the trash out, you don't vote it in.",
"Joey: Back off, Abby.",
"Abby: The truth hurts? Well, if you want to embarress yourself and your entire family even further than nature intended than by all means, throw your amazing girl-next-door quality into the ring. Hey, what's one more disappointment in an already meager depressing existance? *Joey takes the pitcher of water she's holding and dumps it on Abby.*",
"Abby: Ahhh! You're dead. *Chris and Abby leave and Joey walks towards Jack.*",
"Joey: Tell Andie I'm in. *She walks off and Jack laughs.* *Cut to Andie and Pacey sitting at a table in Capeside.*",
"Andie: Okay, I need you to finish passing out these flyers and get these posters up. I want them all over Capeside...not just the high school.",
"Pacey: You know, on this book that I picked up on the Clinton campaign, they said this things going to get ugly. So we're going to have to start playing hard--",
"Andie: Pacey.",
"Pacey: Yeah?",
"Andie: You've done research.",
"Pacey: Yeah, you've been a bad, bad influence on me. *They kiss and Andie pulls away and Pacey is disappointed.*",
"Andie: Oh and you know, I want this campaign to take a high road. I still believe that a candidate's virtue and integrity is normal and to be expected and not just some character perk or bonus. I mean, my goal is to make government good and safe again.",
"Pacey: My God, you know the way these sound bytes just flow out of your mouth, you could really have a future in this stuff. Your sincerity is so appealingly sexy.",
"Andie: And your sexiness is so appealingly sincere.",
"Pacey: You think I'm sexy, huh? What's so sexy about me?",
"Andie: How smart you are. *They lean in to kiss again and Joey sets down and clears her throat. Pacey looks irritated.*",
"Joey: Did you get a glimpse of Chris and Abby's smear campaign? This is exactly what I was worried about.",
"Pacey: Why? We'll just hit them back harder. There's a whole chapter in my book on mud slinging.",
"Andie: No, we are not stooping to their lows. Government is about balance and order. We can not let their petty ways use our (?).",
"Pacey: I should write this stuff down.",
"Joey: Don't you think we should at least fight back?",
"Andie: And let Chris and Abby and the whole school know that we respond in an emotional knee-jerk fashion? What kind of message is that sending out to our voting constituants?",
"Joey: Okay, forget fighting back...I think we should stand up for ourselves...I mean..",
"Andie: Look, Joey, I know they got you, but let's not let them get the best of us. I mean those were just words. They carry no weight whatsoever. Now let's just look at our debate issues and figure out our gameplan. Winning will be our best revenge.",
"Pacey: She won my vote a few bumper stickers ago. *Cut to Jen putting on lipstick at a cosmetics store.*",
"Jen: Alright, Dawson. I've decided to take matters into my own hands and what you need is a regression sponsor.",
"Dawson: A what sponsor?",
"Jen: Somebody who can walk back into the steps of regressing your teen years.",
"Dawson: Jen, I'm very humored by your own insight into how I am as a personal being but I am a teenager, okay? And I've got no driver's license to prove it. And regardless of any adult self-perception I might possess I still have to face all the trauma of being my age so I will respectfully decline your offer.",
"Jen: Okay, alright. Resistance is expected. Dawson the whole reason that I brought you to this place is I figured we would just start with something simple. Do you remember when you were 10...and your mom wouldn't get you that candy bar that you really, really wanted? Didn't you ever just...swipe it?",
"Dawson: No. Wha--What? You want me to steal something?",
"Jen: We're not talking grand theft auto here. We're just talking a Snickers bar. *Dawson shrugs declining.*",
"Jen: Dawson, every kid does it at least once. *holds lipstick* Put this in your pocket, Dawson.",
"Dawson: No. No way.",
"Jen: Dawson, c'mon. This is your symbolic candy bar.",
"Dawson: Why is my symbolic candy bar Crimson Passion lipstick?",
"Jen: Well because we might as well both benefit from your little for(?) adventure. Besides, look, that's not the point. What's important is that you experience the rush of walking out with it, Dawson.",
"Dawson: It's an illegal rush that I don't have any interest in, okay?",
"Jen: Dawson, you're overanalyzing again. Just take the said object and place it in your pocket. *Dawson takes it.* *They walk out.*",
"Jen: Dawson, you actually did it! I didn't think you were capable!",
"Dawson: That makes two of us.",
"Jen: Don't you feel so...exhilirated?",
"Dawson: Yeah...it's this amazing natural high.",
"Jen: Alright, hand it over.",
"Dawson: Naw, I'm the one who risked incarceration, I get to keep it. *Jen looks at him.*",
"Dawson: What?",
"Jen: Oh my God, you put it back, didn't you? You put it back, huh?",
"Dawson: Look, Jen, I appreciate what you're trying to do but I like my perspective on life regardless of how middle-aged it might be.",
"Jen: Okay, but how are you going to reach your audience with that perspective? Dawson, I've read your script, okay? Your hyper-awareness is disarming. You've got to start responding like an adolescent and stop hiding behind that psychology degree that you don't have.",
"Dawson: What is wrong with being mature for my age?",
"Jen: Because it's going to trap you, Dawson. Because you're going to wake up one morning and you're going to realize that the reason you're not growing is that you never allowed the process. There's a reason that we go from infancy to old age. Think about that. *Cut to auditorium at high school. It's the candidates speeches.*",
"Kenny: Students that have a 3.5 GPA or higher should have only half a day of classes on Friday. *Timelapse Andie's speech*",
"Andie: I believe my record of support and involvement of school activities fully qualifies me for student office. *timelapse. Abby and Chris*",
"Chris: We're qualified...because we're one of you.",
"Abby: We'll run the school like you want. *timelapse. Andie and Joey.*",
"Joey: Unlike our opponents, we haven't lost sight on the issues in order to concentrate on malicious character attacks. *timelapse*",
"Counselor: Next question - given the (?) nature of today's political climate... *timelapse*",
"Abby: Listen, it's about trust. *timelapse*",
"Andie: Let's talk issues. Walkmans in study hall. *timelapse*",
"Kenny: Walkmans in study hall is a great idea. *timelapse*",
"Chris: I'm mad for people.(?sentence?my vcr screwed up) I've probably partied with everyone here at least once. *timelapse, everybody's standing out there.*",
"Abby: It all comes down to one simple question. Who do you want to run your class? Us...the geeks...or Little Miss Perky and the Convict's Daughter.",
"Andie: That is so not a relevant issue, Abby.",
"Abby: You would say that since no one here knows your background. Just to bring everyone up to speed on an issue that is relevant, Andie McPhee, your perspective president, has a mother who's about....one shock treatment away from a permanent residence in the looney bin!",
"Joey: You know, for once Abby let's stick to the issues. Andie's personal life has no bearing on her ability to handle the job as sophomore class president.",
"Abby: Uh, whatever. We have hard evidence that Andie's mother was responsible for the death of her older brother in a car crash less than a year ago. The fact of the matter is Monie(?) McPhee is a wacked out nut and we all know that mental illness is hereditary so you do the math.",
"Counselor: Abby, that's quite enough.",
"Abby: Hey I was just trying to assertain the truth for the safety of my fellow students. Andie...",
"Andie: *crying* I.....um.....I..... *She walks towards the door and then starts running. Pacey chases after her.*",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"*Cut to Joey running across campus to catch up with Jack.*",
"Joey: Hey.",
"Jack: I can't find Andie. Have you seen her?",
"Joey: You heard about the assembly?",
"Jack: Yeah.",
"Joey: Look I feel really stupid. Grilling you about your family...pressuring you for answers. I'm really sorry, Jack.",
"Jack: Joey, I'm looking for my sister, not your sympathy.",
"Joey: I haven't seen her since the debate.",
"Jack: Great.",
"Joey: Is there anything I can do to help?",
"Jack: My family situation is complicated, Joey, alright? It's just not something I feel comfortable talking about so I'll see you later.",
"Joey: No, Jack! Don't push me away okay? I want to help! Look, I've been through something like this with my own family and I understand.",
"Jack: *yelling* Okay, don't you get it?! I didn't want to talk to you before and I don't now! God! *Cut to Pacey walking down the deserted halls and he nears the Girl's Bathroom and opens the door slightly.*",
"Pacey: Andie? *He shuts it again.*",
"Pacey: Alright, I'm coming in there and just so there's no confusion, I am a man so if there are any objections please speak now. *He goes in.*",
"Pacey: Andie I know you're in here. *He starts looking in the stalls.*",
"Pacey: Listen, there's a whole chapter in my book on what to do when scandal breaks. It's not such a big deal. I mean, you and I *he spots her stall* we can get through this. *stands up* So what do you say? *opens the door revealing Andie curled up on the stool* You and me Andie.",
"Andie: Did you know it's exactly 60 feet 6 inches from pitching mound to home plate?",
"Pacey: You okay, McPhee?",
"Andie: Tim taught me that. He tried to teach me a curveball, too. Turns out I throw like a girl.",
"Pacey: C'mon, let's get you outta here, Andie.",
"Andie: Oh God, Pacey, I don't know. I mean, everybody knows about my mom and about Tim. How'm I supposed to go out there in the hall? I mean, everybody's going to look at me and they're all going to laugh.",
"Pacey: They won't laugh at you, Andie. Everyone comes from a dysfunctional family. It's the 90s. The only happy families are in TV syndication.",
"Andie: But it's all ruined. I mean, politics used to mean something. Now we've just become such a...lessened society.",
"Pacey: Andie, this is high school. Trust me, me of all people, this will all blow over. Tomorrow everything goes back to normal.",
"Andie: Normal? Oh, God. That's all I ever wanted. A normal family, with a normal life, balance and order, order and balance. But you know that just never exists. Not anywhere, not here. It's like this big false hope.",
"Pacey: Hey. Don't you think you're being a little hard on yourself? Normal never existed. It never did.",
"Andie: Hm. Wow. Look at me. I'm a mess. I'm a total and complete mess. I hate this. I really hate this. *She throws Pacey's book at the mirror and then walks out of the bathroom.* *Mitch's apartment.*",
"Mitch: Dawson.",
"Dawson: Hey dad.",
"Mitch: Look. *pointing to chair* Can you believe somebody threw this out? The thing's an antique. Thought maybe I could clean it up a little...sell it.",
"Dawson: Brought your mail.",
"Mitch: Thanks. You didn't have to do that.",
"Dawson: I know. Thought I'd stop by...say hi...see what was new if anything.",
"Mitch: Mom told you, didn't she?",
"Dawson: No, I saw it for myself. Not the main attraction, just the previews.",
"Mitch: So, uh, it's complicated and, um, actually I don't know exactly how comfortable I am talking to you about this.",
"Dawson: No problem. It's totally fine. I just want to let you know that I'm okay with it. I mean, it's fine if you want to stay over every once in awhile. It won't mess up my head. If you're worried about that. I mean, I know that reconciliation has to restrain and (?).",
"Mitch: There is no reconciliation, Dawson. It was a slip. A s*x slip, and a mistake and it won't happen again.",
"Dawson: Now I don't understand.",
"Mitch: Well, it just, we fell back into what was comfortable and easy and used it to cover our problems.",
"Dawson: It helped your problems.",
"Mitch: No. No, it worsened them. 'Cause I realized that it's insane to keep taking the same action expecting a different result. I mean, it changes nothing. It's the action that must change. *Cut to Jen's house. Jen is looking through her closet and Dawson is behind her talking.*",
"Dawson: You were right. I do have perception disorder.",
"Jen: What brought this on?",
"Dawson: Let's just say, I'm geared to respond to life in a certain way and you say I don't respond like a typical adolescent, and you're right, I don't, but emotionally, I do. I always have. I am very much my age emotionally, maybe even younger. And my feelings are in constant conflict with my overachieving self-aware brain and it's just a constant battle. And that's what's driving me crazy. Am I making any sense?",
"Jen: Completely.",
"Dawson: Okay, thank God. So I keep on waiting for my feelings to catch up so maybe I can finally grow up so I can finally get over Joey or accept that my parents may or may not work things out, but I think I have it backwards. In order to change my feelings I first have to change my actions because that's the only way somebody can change how they feel.",
"Jen: You're too smart for your own good, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Right now I feel incredibly stupid.",
"Jen: Is there anything I can do to help or I dunno..",
"Dawson: Yeah...I think I need a sponsor. I need to go out and engage in some incredibly appropriate teenage behavior.",
"Jen: Well, that sounds like something right up my alley. Anything you had in mind?",
"Dawson: Just something nonsensical..really spontaneous...the good, the bad, the ugly, you are the expert I will follow your lead.",
"Jen: Well, you know what? By all means, Dawson, let the rebelry begin. *Cut to Andie's house. Andie is rocking in a rocking chair staring out the window in her room. Jack comes in.*",
"Jack: I finally got Mom to bed. *Andie doesn't say anything.*",
"Jack: It really scares her to see you so upset. Look, Andie, it hasn't been an easy year for any of us, but we all do what we have to to hold it together...to cope. *Andie still just sits there.*",
"Jack: Your highs and lows have been becoming really intense lately.",
"Andie: I'm fine, Jack.",
"Jack: No, you're not fine, Andie! I mean one minute you're laughing and the next you're in tears!",
"Andie: Please just leave me alone, okay?",
"Jack: I think maybe it's time you went back to your medication.It's easier for you and for everyone.",
"Andie: I said I'm alright, okay? I just had a rough day. I mean, I don't need any medication. *Jack just sits there.*",
"Andie: I'm fine. *Jack gets up and leaves.* *Cut to Dawson and Jen running through the woods laughing. Dawson is holding toilet paper.*",
"Dawson: Slow down, slow down! We just TPed Mr. Milos house! I've always wanted to do that!",
"Jen: And now you have! See and very well I might add. *looks at toilet paper* Aside from the fact that you forgot to drop the evidence. *Dawson throws it into the woods.*",
"Dawson: Alright, so that's a rebellious 13 I would say, so what next?",
"Jen: You ready for something really bold?",
"Dawson: I am up for anything.",
"Jen: Anything?",
"Dawson: Abso--well, what did you have in mind?",
"Jen: Drop your pants.",
"Dawson: What?",
"Jen: Well, I just mean, you can't very well go skinny dipping with your clothes on.",
"Dawson: Skinnydipping? Jen, do you know how cold the water is?",
"Jen: Oh, I mean, if you're to embarressed about...",
"Dawson: I'm not embarressed! I'm just...you think I wouldn't do it, don't you?",
"Jen: No.",
"Dawson: Well, I'm not going alone.",
"Jen: Dawson, I never intended for you to do it alone. *She starts getting undressed and Dawson turns around.*",
"Dawson: Oh my god, you're serious.",
"Jen: Mm-hm. Completely.",
"Dawson: Maybe we should think about this. I mean, what if somebody walks by? You know? *Jen just laughs and throws her bra over Dawson's shoulder as a tease. She runs and jumps in the water.*",
"Dawson: Jen you're...",
"Jen: Naked? And all wet. Dawson, come on in, the water's great. *Jen laughs* *Dawson stands up behind a bush and a tree.*",
"Jen: Dawson is that a tree branch or are you just happy to see me?",
"Dawson: It's fine now turn around!",
"Jen: Alright, I am.",
"Dawson: Here I come! *Dawson runs and jumps in.*",
"Dawson: This used to be my worst nightmare.",
"Jen: Oh, thanks a lot, swimming naked with me used to be your worst nightmare. *They start splashing each other. Jen's laughing.*",
"Jen: Okay, Dawson, stop. Truce. *Dawson just starts splashing harder.* *timelapse*",
"Jen: Let me ask you something.",
"Dawson: Yeah?",
"Jen: Nightmares aside have you ever dreamt about me?",
"Dawson: Yeah. Well, I mean, everyone I know has crept into my dreams at one point or another.",
"Jen: No...I mean...have you ever woken up...sweating?",
"Dawson: What?",
"Jen: Blanket in a little pup tent?",
"Dawson: You first. Have you dreamt about me that way?",
"Jen: Possibly. *They kiss*",
"Jen: Dawson.",
"Dawson: What?",
"Jen: Crossing the line.",
"Dawson: The line? You don't want? I thought you wanted this Jen. You've hinted...imply offered.",
"Jen: I know, Dawson...it's just..",
"Dawson: I was taking your advice. You know, you don't think...do. Just something really spontaneous.",
"Jen: I'm glad that you've embraced the philosophy, you know? It's just that we're finally friends now and I don't want to mess that up. I thought I'd take your lead on this one...hoping that different actions might create different results.",
"Dawson: So the different action is taking no action?",
"Jen: No, the different action is being your friend.",
"Dawson: Like Joey was my friend?",
"Jen: There's lots of ways to be someone's friend Dawson. We'll just have to figure that out. *They start splashing each other again* *Cut to school. Chris and Abby are on the announcements..*",
"Chris: I brought the Eastern Championship to Capeside now I approach my presidency with the same drive. So let's face the facts...there's only one true choice here.",
"Abby: Remember..do you really want those other losers running your school?",
"Joey: Andie, we can walk out right now. I mean, there's still dignity in resigning.",
"Andie: No, I'm fine. I can do this.",
"Abby: So get off your butts and vote Chris and Abby, you'll enjoy the ride. *She turns the announcement mic off.*",
"Abby: It's as locked up as Joey's father. Schedule says the Coo-Coo Bird and the Convict's Daughter are up next.",
"Andie: I can do this.",
"Joey: Ready? *Andie nods.* *Joey pushes the button to turn the mic on.* *Andie can't say anything.*",
"Andie: I can't do this, I'm sorry. I just can't.",
"Abby: Gosh, I hope it wasn't something I said. It was all in the name of good ol' fashioned politics.",
"Chris: I'm going to go kiss some babes.",
"Abby: It's babies you idiot.",
"Chris: My way's a lot more fun. *Pacey sighs and walks towards the chair in front of the mic.*",
"Pacey: Abby...so what's the deal here? *he hits the mic 'on' button so the whole school can hear the conversation* Why are you slumming as vice-president for that guy when you are so obviously the brains behind this campaign?",
"Abby: I'll let you in on a little secret there, sport. I'm just using that walking pen1s for his popularity and ultimately, I'll destroy him. *Cut to Dawson and Jen's reaction when they hear this.*",
"Abby: (cont.) Just like I destroyed your little girlfriend. It's just so easy. And victory's so much sweeter when you have to walk on other people to get it. *laughs* I'm going to rule this school. And you and all those other halfwits are too stupid to stop me.",
"Pacey: Yeah, you're probably right, I mean, I'm so stupid that I didn't know that when I pressed this button on this little thing that your annoying nasal whine was broadcast over this entire school. Oh no, wait a minute, that's exactly what I meant to do, sorry! My bad. *to Kenny* School's yours, pal.",
"Kenny: Yes! *Cut to Dawson's house.*",
"Gail: Careful honey, I just mopped the floor it might still be a little damp.",
"Dawson: Okay.",
"Gail: Oh, if you want a snack, I made oatmeal cookies, and a cake.",
"Dawson: Alright.",
"Gail: Oh, will you look at this? There are dust bunnies the size of small children on this windowsil.",
"Dawson: Mom, what are these?",
"Gail: Um....divorce papers. Your father had me served this morning.",
"Dawson: Are you okay?",
"Gail: Uh, yeah. I'll be alright, honey. I'm moving on. *Cut to the Icehouse. Joey's locking up and Jack walks up behind her.*",
"Jack: Can I walk you home?",
"Joey: Sure.",
"Jack: Joey, I owe you an apoligy. I mean, it's been a tough couple of days. I know that's no excuse for me acting like an ass.",
"Joey: I wanted to be there for you, Jack....but you kind of shoved me off.",
"Jack: Yeah, well, when things get rough I tend to go on (?), you know, protect the family, nobody else matters. It's kind of second nature.",
"Joey: I understand, it's just...I wish you'd let me help you.",
"Jack: Joey, um, I can't allow myself the luxury of opening up. I mean, with my brother gone and my father missing in action. My mother and my sister they depend on me, you know? To be the rock. And I don't know. Sometimes I feel like...I can't even explain it. It's like my whole life is one big secret.",
"Joey: You know, when my mom was dying...I had this friend who was amazing, and you know, a lot of times...I didn't feel like talking and you know, we would just sit, sometimes for hours and never say a word, and you know what? It helped. It did because being in the same place I knew that everything was going to be okay. And towards the end when things got really bad, he would just reach out and hold my hand. *She reaches for Jack's hand.* *Cut to Andie's house. Andie is in the bathroom and she's been crying. The phone rings.*",
"Andie: Hello....Hey Pacey...Yeah um...I'm feeling a lot better now. *she opens the cabinet and you see a medicine bottle* No..um, tonight? *she reaches for the bottle* I don't think so. *she opens it and puts some in her hand* Yeah, it's not a good time...Yeah, I'll be back to my old self tomorrow though...I promise...okay....bye. *she gets a glass of water and takes the medicine.* *Cut to Jen's house.*",
"Jen: Dawson, what are you doing here?",
"Dawson: Um..my parents are getting divorced. I just needed to talk to my sponsor. I'm in a bit of a quandry. All this perception and psychobabble has left me with quite a dilemma. And what do I do with this news? I knew it was over, you know? I mean all the signs pointed to it. I just...kept hoping that it wouldn't go there. But they have. So now, um, do I have a self aware adult reaction to it or should I allow myself to feel the hurt and the shock that a kid in my position would feel? You know...I-I...which should win here? My head or my heart? My emotions or my brain? What'll win out?",
"Jen: What always wins out Dawson? Dawson? *He starts crying.*",
"Jen: C'mere.",
"Dawson: Thanks for being here.",
"Jen: Thanks for letting me."

"Dawson: I'm saying it. *pause* I love you. I know it's nonsensical.",
"Pacey: Nonsensical? It's insane. We've known each other for 15 years and you couldn't find another time to freudian-slip this cat out of the bag?!",
"Dawson: *with complete honesty* I've wanted to! So many times. You have no idea how long I've been wrestling internally with the psychological repercussions of my feelings.",
"Pacey: *stares down as if he's overwhelmed* I need time to process this. I mean, my electrical synapses are on overload here. My brain is telling me one thing but my heart, it says another. It's telling me that I should consider the unequivical, highly irrational, possibly damaging, proposition...*with deep feeling, looking into Dawson's eyes* of loving you back.",
"Dawson: Wait. *leans in like he's going to kiss Pacey but quickly turns and reaches for some papers on his bed glancing over them* You missed a line. You forgot 'hypnotically scarred'.",
"Pacey: So if you want it done right, then you get an actor. I'm not exactly comfortable playing the girl here.",
"Dawson: So what do you think? Think it would make a good movie?",
"Pacey: You're writing too many syllables. I mean, what's with all the psychobabble insight? How many teenagers do you know that talk like that?",
"Dawson: Grumbles, aside, do you think it would make a good movie?",
"Pacey: Yeah...*thinking*..yeah..however, you did make Joey a little on the angry side, even for her.",
"Dawson: It's not Joey.",
"Pacey: Right. *sarcastic* That's not Joey, the guy's not you, and you're not disecting you two's relationship on the page just like every other narcissistic writer through history.",
"Dawson: *sighs* Just tell me what you think.",
"Pacey: I think it's dark. It's obtuse. It's very un-Dawson Leery.",
"Dawson: Thank you. *he gets up from his chair by the bed and walks over by his desk* This is the first time I've been able to write something that's not just plot-driven but emotionally driven.",
"Pacey: Congratulations. Revolving as an artist.",
"Dawson: It's about time I took some risks, you know? Ride the edge a little.",
"Pacey: Well, if that's the case, I do have one note.",
"Dawson: *hesitantly looks over at Pacey* Which is?",
"Pacey: I mean, why don't they have s*x? I know you and Joey never did in real life but this is a film. You can write it any way you want. You know? Take the risky plunge.",
"Dawson: Ah-ha! See, I have. *Pacey looks skeptical.*",
"Dawson: (cont.) How many movies have you seen where a bunch of horny teenagers just...go at it like rabbits? I mean, that's the safe choice. *Pacey laughs.*",
"Dawson: The riskier, edgier choice is to have them not do it.",
"Pacey: Only you take your virginal insecurities and fear of deflowerment and turn them into \"risky, edgy behavior.\"",
"Dawson: Oh yeah, I have no problem being a virgin, alright? I'm sorry if my confidence in my convictions is discombobulates you. *Pacey stares out in bewilderment.*",

"Dawson: Hey!",
"Jen: Hey, you!",
"Dawson: So how's interest? Are we going to have a turnout?",
"Jen: Um, as a first-time producer...my instincts tell me that we're going to have a huge turn-out, Dawson. *Dawson smiles* *Jen hands a guy a flier*",
"Jen: *to the guy* Hey, we're having auditions for a movie today. Come on by, alright?",
"Dawson: You're such a natural. You're so good at this.",
"Jen: *laughs* Well, thanks. Don't expect too much. I mean, I'm no Joey.",
"Dawson: Well, hey, she had no experience either when she first started. You're going to be good. I have the up-most confidence in you.",
"Jen: Well, thank you. Mr. Writer/Director.",
"Dawson: *laughs* *pointing at a guy* Hey, be sure to give a flier to James Lowing, he'd be perfect for the lead.",
"Jen: Ew.",
"Dawson: Ew? Jen, he's like the classic, leading guy. He's kind, he's funny...he's self-effacing, he's Jimmy Stewart meets Tom Hanks.",
"Jen: Yeah, and about as sexy as a bucket, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Alright..",
"Jen: *pointing to a dark-haired man with a mustache* Now, Dave Fachelli, that's the leading man.",
"Dawson: Excuse me?",
"Jen: Yeah, he's like dark and brooding and Ray Liotta...",
"Dawson: Sewer rat. I don't get it...no way.",
"Jen: I'm just saying he's got a certain...appeal.",
"Dawson: So?",
"Jen: I mean, people don't always go to the movies to see their kind, sweet next-door neighbor. They go to see that slightly dangerous guy that they desperately want to sleep with but never will in real life. Sexy will always win out over nice. *pause* I'm just saying everyone casts Tom Hanks, you know? Try and make the less obvious choice. *turning to another person with a flier* Hey, movie auditions today. *She walks off.* *Cut to Pacey entering the halls of Capeside High. He heads straight for Andie and holds a sheet in front of her.*",
"Pacey: *clears throat*",
"Andie: Hey! *reading the paper* What's this?",
"Pacey: The results of Pacey Witter's HIV test.",
"Andie: You got tested?",
"Pacey: You told me to.",
"Andie: But you argued with me.",
"Pacey: Andie, I always argue with you. It doesn't mean I don't listen.",
"Andie: And...?",
"Pacey: And it's negative! Which is positive in my book.",
"Andie: Congratulations. I'm proud of you. Getting tested was...very responsible of you. Just don't think that now that we got tested we're going to....you know.",
"Pacey: *acting clueless* What?",
"Andie: *frustrated* You know...",
"Pacey: No, I have no idea what you're talking about.",
"Andie: Okay, uhm, you know, we haven't been very, uhm, *lowers her voice* physical, or anything and I'm not opposed to us becoming more...*lowers again* intimate, but I just want you to know that everything has a perfect place and time.",
"Pacey: I didn't get tested to engage in uninhibited scrumping with you. I got tested for me. I don't want to jump in the sack with you.",
"Andie: Oh. Why not, exactly? Do you not find me attractive?",
"Pacey: Of course I find you attractive, Andie.",
"Andie: But you don't want to?",
"Pacey: Do you want to?",
"Andie: Well, I asked you.",
"Pacey: Well, I'm asking you back.",
"Andie: You first.",
"Pacey: I'd like to scrump with you any day of the week, okay? But we've got all the time in the world. There's no need to rush anything.",
"Andie: Okay, I hear you and I concur.",
"Pacey: Good.",
"Andie: Good....but if it were the right time and place, you would want to, right?",
"Pacey: Oh, hell yes!",
"Andie: Alright. 'Til then.",

"Dawson: Hey.",
"Joey: Hey.",
"Dawson: *holding fliers* Movie auditions.",
"Joey: *motioning to drawing* Art class.",
"Dawson: *notices her drawing of a man..naked.* I see you've graduated from fruit bowls.",
"Joey: We're doing life-sketching...nude models...so..we're supposed to see the human form, a mass of lines and shadows.",
"Dawson: Really?",
"Joey: I'm working on it.",
"Dawson: And he does poses for you?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Dawson: Don't you find that uncomfortable? Just sitting in a room with some guy completely in the buff right in front of you?",
"Joey: No..",
"Dawson: Does he like talk or anything?",
"Joey: Oh, yeah. He sings, tells jokes, does a little softshoe. No, he doesn't talk, Dawson. He's a model. He sits there. He just takes breaks every now and then.",
"Dawson: And Little Joey Potter doesn't blush?",
"Joey: No.",
"Dawson: Not even a little?",
"Joey: Maybe a little...",
"Dawson: *raises eyebrows* Just a little?",
"Joey: *knowing he's figured her out* Okay, I've broken 12 pencils *Dawson laughs*",

"Jen: Auditions...come please... *Back to Joey and Dawson.*",
"Joey: Jen's your producer? *looking slightly irritated*",
"Dawson: Yeah...yeah, you're busy.",

"Dawson: Thank you, thank you! Gotta go! Time is money. *Dawson takes off as Joey stares after him.* *Cut to inside the halls. Chris walks up to Abby.*",
"Chris: Hey! Are you going to audition for Dawson's movie?",
"Abby: Participate in Dawson Leery's lame home video project? Doubtful. Why? Are you?",
"Chris: I was thinking about it. I got the audition piece so I was looking through it. He's got financing. He's going to do the festival circuit. It would be an opportunity for some Hollywood-type exposure.",
"Abby: Yeah, right! Are you have delusions of Brad Pitt-itis?",
"Chris: I think I would make a good actor, actually. And actors get action, and I foresee a non-stop party. I was thinking maybe you and I could read together.",
"Abby: You and me?",
"Chris: Yeah, c'mon! We'd have some serious chemistry. Come on. Audition with me.",
"Abby: Celebrate(?) elsewhere. I couldn't be less interested. *She walks into the girl's bathroom.* *Cut to Joey back at her picnic table, Jack walks up behind her with a shake, looking at her drawing.*",
"Jack: Wow! *Joey turns quickly noticing him then covers up her drawing.*",
"Joey: Don't look.",
"Jack: Come on, I've seen a naked guy before, Joey.",
"Joey: Yeah, but not drawn with the talent of a second grader, trust me.",
"Jack: C'mon. *Joey still covers it up.* *he starts tickling her* Let me see it! Let me see it!",
"Joey: Nooo. *Jack looks at it.*",
"Jack: Wow. It's a good use of light and dark, especially around the side. I mean, it's very dramatic. Shading is excellent.",
"Joey: *in disbelief* Really?",
"Jack: Yeah. Lines are strong. Uh, everything seems to be in...proportion. Uh, you did a real nice job *reaching up to point, he accidentily knocks his shake all over Joey's drawing, ruining it.*",
"Jack: Joey! Oh God! I'm sorry, Joey! I'm sorry! I'm sorry.",
"Joey: I gotta go. *She grabs her ruined drawing and leaves* *Cut to auditions, a girl with long red hair and huge eyes is auditioning. She is wayyy over-acting.*",
"Girl: I can't believe you're saying this. After all these years of high brow, analytical posturing. *Cut to a football player with red hair, auditioning with no acting talent whatsoever.*",
"Guy: I love you....I know it's nonsensical. *Cut to a blonde cheerleader reading the script really ditzy-like and it looks like she's chewing gum.*",
"Girl: Nonsensical? It's insane! We've known each other for 15 years. *Cut to a shot of Dawson and Jen looking irritated and tired.*",
"Girl: (cont.) Somewhere in there you couldn't find the time to *voice fades out..* *Cut to a curly-haired guy auditioning with glasses, putting way too much feeling into it.*",
"Guy: I've wanted to. So many times. But you have no idea how long I've wrestled internally with the psychological repercussions... *Cut to a blond pierced guy just standing there not saying anything. Then cut to a girl crying, putting too much emotion into her role. More frustrated shots of Dawson and Jen. A girl with glasses just stares out blankly then widens her eyes.*",
"OVERVOICE (Football guy from earlier): You have no idea how long I've been wrestling internally with the psychological reproductions. *Cut to Dawson and Jen. Dawson is looking at Jen in disbelief.* *Back to stage where Football Guy and Cheerleader are reading together.*",

That I should consider the unequivical, possibly damaging *her voice turns into an overvoice as you see another girl laughing at the script and a guy coughing during his audition, then it cuts back to them.* highly irritional, hypnotically scarring, proposition of loving you back. *She looks at the football guy chewing her gum like a ditz.*",
"Guy: *long pause* Cool. *Cut to an extremely frustrated Dawson and Jen. Cut to Capeside High where we're at Joey's locker when Jack walks up.*",
"Jack: Listen, I'm sorry. Uh, can you save it? *Joey looks at him and reaches into her locker and pulls out a picture that justs looks like a blur of charcoal on it.*",
"Jack: Oh, God. I'm sorry. Look, can I do anything? What?",
"Joey: There's nothing you can do, Jack. It's due Thursday. I'm already the youngest and least experienced in the class and now I'm going to show up with an incomplete assignment.",
"Jack: Can you redraw it?",
"Joey: Not from memory. I mean, this is a nude man, Jack. I can't just recall it from thin air. *pulling out drawing and looking at it* The pose, the composition, the light, the shadows.You can't just recreate that.",
"Jack: Um *thinking*, let me pose for ya.",
"Joey: What?",
"Jack: Yeah, no, I'm serious. Let me pose for you. No big deal.",
"Joey: *in disbelief* You want to pose for me...naked.",
"Jack: Uh huh...yeah.",
"Joey: *slowly putting the drawing back in her locker and shutting it* Let me think about that...uh, no.",
"Jack: Okay, uh, what happens if you don't turn it in?",
"Joey: Look, I get an F, not to mention embarressment and feelings of tremendous inadequacy.",
"Jack: Alright, then that's it, I'll pose it for you.",
"Joey: No, you're not.",
"Jack: 'Fraid about seeing me naked?",
"Joey: Ah, the \"Joey's a prude\" tactic. Clever, but wrong.",
"Jack: Alright, then what is it? Are you scared it might get sexual or something?",
"Joey: Believe it or not, Jack, not every moment with you is sexually charged. Sorry.",
"Jack: Well, then, there should be no problem. C'mon, I feel awful about this and I don't want you to fail your first art project because of me so let me help you.",
"Joey: You're serious, aren't you?",
"Jack: I'm dead serious. I have a huge deal about things like this. So don't feel weird, I don't.",
"Joey: I don't know, Jack. I don't know if this is a good thing for us.",
"Jack: Strictly professional, okay? C'mon, Joey. This is your art.",
"Joey: Well, I guess the male form is just the male form...",
"Jack: Good, it's settled. I'll come by your house tomorrow around 7....Yeah... *Jack walks off as Joey looks off after him.* *Cut to Capeside, a store. Andie is at the pharmacy.*",
"Pharmacist: There ya go, Miss.",
"Andie: Thank you.",
"Pharmacist: Be careful with the dosage, I put a pamphlet in there for you.",
"Andie: I'm familiar with the drug, thank you. *She turns around to find Pacey. She holds the bag behind her back.*",
"Pacey: Hello, McPhee, what's shakin'?",
"Andie: Hey, Pacey! Hi...",
"Pacey: Whatcha got in the bag?",
"Andie: Uh..nothing. *He takes it from her and looks in it and takes out the bottle.*",
"Andie: Pacey, please. Give it back. *He starts reading the bottle.*",
"Pacey: 'Andrea McPhee, take two tablets a day, as directed. ZanX, 20mg.' ZanX, um, that's for severe depression and anxiety, right? It's like Prozac so...",
"Andie: Uh, it's my mom's. We have the same first name. Andrea. *Pacey remembers and regrets mentioning it.*",
"Pacey: Yeah..yeah..",
"Andie: Please, Pacey, she's getting better.",
"Pacey: I'm really sorry. I didn't know.",
"Andie: It's okay.",
"Pacey: You're such a good daughter.",
"Andie: What are you doin' here?",
"Pacey: Nothing, um, just picking up some stuff.",
"Andie: In the, uh, condom section?",
"Pacey: *fake laughs* I had no idea! *Andie makes a 'yeah right' face.*",
"Pacey: How odd. You don't think this is a sign, do you? Like the love gods are trying to help us out..",
"Andie: No, I think that would be you.",
"Pacey: I'm just engaging in a little innuendo hoping that someday it will lead to something a little more tangible.",
"Andie: Hey, I'm all for discovery the...physical side of Pacey Witter, I just don't know that I'm entirely prepared yet.",
"Pacey: Well, hey *handing her condoms*, be prepared.",
"Andie: Hey. Designed for that woman's extra pleasure. Yeah...how would they know?",
"Pacey: Maybe they're designed by women.",
"Andie: Oh. Good point. So, uh, should we get some?",
"Pacey: *surprised* What?",
"Andie: Well, you're right. We should be prepared. In case that mood strikes and we'll be ready.",
"Pacey: Are you being serious?",
"Andie: Yeah, we might as well have them on stand by. I mean, we can be adults about this..",
"Pacey: You're serious.",

"*Cut to Abby and Chris auditioning.*",
"Abby: Isn't there anyone else I can read with?",
"Dawson: Abby, we're short on time. If you could just start on page 3, that'd be great.",
"Chris: Sure, Dawson, but can I just ask a quick question?",
"Dawson: What is it, Chris?",
"Chris: I just...I don't understand why they don't ever do it. I mean, you have all the hot foreplay stuff, but they never hook up.",
"Dawson: Right. Well, your character believes that sometimes true love goes behind that that's merely physical.",
"Chris: See, yeah, that's just the part I don't get.",
"Abby: Yeah, Dawson, I think you should rethink that part. It's a little petty.",
"Jen: Okay, you know what, guys? Why don't we just keep moving?",
"Chris: I've wanted to. So many times. You have no idea how long I've wrestled with the psychological repercussions of my feelings.",
"Abby: I need some time to process here. My electrocal synapses are on overload. My brain says one thing but my heart says something else. That I should consider the unequivical, possibly damaging, highly irrational, hypnotically scarring, proposition of loving you back.",
"Chris: Wait. *He pulls Abby in for a deep kiss and she struggles and pulls away.*",
"Abby: What the hell was that you loveneck freak?!",
"Chris: A kiss. It was in the script.",
"Abby: That was your tongue in my mouth.",
"Chris: Sorry, I was just getting into the role.",
"Abby: You were trying to get into my pants. God, I'm going to be sick. *She rushes out and Chris stands there before taking a bow.*",
"Chris: Shall I continue?",
"Jen: That'll be all, thank you. *Cut to Pacey and Andie walking out of the store*",
"Andie: I've put lots of fantasy thought into this, and I want my first time to be special. You know, the perfect evening. Like, dinner at a French restaurant, a romantic after-dinner stroll by the dock, and then onto a nice historic bed and breakfast.",
"Pacey: A bed and breakfast?",
"Andie: It's my fantasy, go with it. Lavender candles...and, uh, Sinatra, or somebody equally as old-style and romantic.",
"Pacey: Ok. Schedule in bathroom breaks, or does the poor guy have to hold it all evening?",
"Andie: Ok, I'm sorry, but deciding to lose my virginity is a huge deal, ok? I mean, I didn't hold onto it for 16 years just to lose it in one drunk fleeting moment in some skanky back seat of a late model american car, ok?",
"Pacey: Damn! Somebody's leaking all my best lovemaking secrets.",
"Andie: It's just that... I'm going to remember this for the rest of my life, and I just think that if we put a little planning into it, to ensure that it's worth remembering, it would be really nice.",
"Pacey: I know how important the first time is. Believe me, of all people, I know. And I know with my tainted past, I might not be the most likely of candidates, but if and when you do decide it's the right time for you, I'd really like to be the one that helps to make it a memorable evening.",
"Andie: Well, when you talk like that, it makes me want to jump you.",
"Pacey: Oh, really?",
"Andie: Yes. *Cut to the place where auditions for Dawson's movie were.*",
"Dawson: It's just so frustrating to have this dream of making this movie, and actually get the money to make the movie, and then realizing that it still might not happen.",
"Jen: Just like in the script.",
"Dawson: What do you mean?",
"Jen: I mean, you and Joey. You're in love with her for 15 years, and then when you're just about to have her, you lose her. Tragic.",
"Dawson: The script is not about Joey.",
"Jen: Dawson, give me a break. It reads like an autobiography. It's funny. I thought that... We had something, too, but... even with my flair for the dramatic, my role has been reduced to the first act.",
"Dawson: Jen, you were important to me. You know that.",
"Jen: Was I?",
"Dawson: Absolutely. More than you know.",
"Jen: Then I, I want to ask you something, Dawson. Since we're friends and all, um... what did you like about me?",
"Dawson: What did I like about you? We have fun together... you know... I mean, you...you open me up to stuff. Skinny-dipping didn't suck. You know, you were... you were sexy.",
"Jen: Were?",
"Dawson: Are. Are.",
"Jen: You know, I think that Chris and Abby are right about your script. I think that the 2 young lovers should do it.",
"Dawson: *standing up frustrated* It's about romance, not s*x.",
"Jen: Who says that s*x can't be romantic, Dawson? Come on. I mean, look at your target audience.",
"Dawson: I wanted to make the less obvious choice.",
"Jen: That's funny when you think about it.",
"Dawson: What?",
"Jen: Just that, if you hadn't gone for such an obvious choice of girl, maybe the ending to your script would have been a little less obvious. *Dawson thinks as we cut to Joey's house as she sets out her art stuff.*",
"Jack: I'm coming out. *he stands as she doesn't look at him* Um... Jack McPhee reporting for duty. Where--where do you want me?",
"Joey: *still not looking at him* Um, you could, uh, sit on the couch or, or the chair. Or you could stand, or I could move.",
"Jack: Uh, why don't I just take the couch?",
"Joey: Ok.",
"Jack: You know, Joey, if--if you're uncomfortable at all, I--I can, you know, keep the towel on for a while, Just until we get loosened up. You know, you can kind of sketch around... it.",
"Joey: Jack, I'm fine. You know, whatever.",
"Jack: Uh, ok. *He starts taking the towel off*",
"Joey: You know what? You're probably right. Maybe--maybe the towel is a good idea. I mean, it'll give me a chance to concentrate on the... the top part. *Jack puts it back on and lays on the couch*",
"Jack: Oh, deja vu. This is just like that scene from Titanic. *He laughs*",
"Joey: Oh, right. Yeah. Except I'm Jack and... you're Rose.",
"Jack: Role reversal. I like it. *he notices her nervousness* Look, Joey, if you're not gonna make it, we can stop this at any time.",
"Joey: You know, um... maybe if we just didn't talk. Um, the model in class kinda just sat and stared out the window. And, you know, since we are just... starting to get to know each other, I just... I'll admit it has made me slightly uncomfortable.",
"Jack: Well...just imagine how comfortable we're gonna be around each other after tonight. *She stares at her just started drawing and stops.*",
"Joey: You know, Jack, um... I can't do this. You know, I just don't think this is a good idea. I mean, I tried to be adult about this, and not behave like little Joey Potter, but the truth is, you know, I'm really not that experienced with... Um, a lot of things. And I really don't think I could handle seeing you naked right now, so if you could probably just get dressed and go home, that would...",
"Jack: What about your sketch?",
"Joey: Yeah, I'll figure out some way to fudge it.",
"Jack: Are you sure?",
"Joey: Yes, I'm sure! *She accidentily knocks her easel over and Jack gets up to catch it and his towel falls off. Joey stares at 'it' for a second then looks away.*",
"Jack: Well, um... might as well stay now.",
"Joey: Um *timelapse*",
"Jack: So, uh...how's it look?",
"Joey: *thinking he's referring to something else* \"It\"? *noticing what he's referring to* Oh, it's coming along fine. I'm sorry.",
"Jack: And how you doing?",
"Joey: Surprisingly well. You know, no sign of heart failure, so... it's actually...it's ok. It feels kind of...",
"Jack: Natural?",
"Joey: Um...sort of. It's more like an accomplishment. I know, this is something that most people would just assume that Joey could not do.",
"Jack: Why is that?",
"Joey: I mean, you see how I live. I don't get out much, and... I guess my life just seems kind of plain sometimes.",
"Jack: Does that bother you?",
"Joey: Um...yeah, sometimes. A good thing that I've discovered about this whole art thing is that it allows me to take chances, you know? I mean, this here is risky. Art is risky 'cause...you know, every time I draw or paint or take a class, I just... I feel like I'm doing something special. You know, just for me. Does that make sense?",
"Jack: It feels dangerous.",
"Joey: Yeah. Yeah. Why is that?",
"Jack: Art is about a world of uncertainty, And that makes it scary.",
"Joey: And what scares you?",
"Jack: s*x. *Cut to Jen seeing Dawson out walking the docks. She goes out to join him. Cut to Pacey and Andie eating in a restaurant. Cut back to Jack and Joey*",
"Joey: First time anxiety?",
"Jack: Oh, no, no! I'm not a virgin.",
"Joey: *slightly disappointed* Oh. So, um... have you done it a lot?",
"Jack: Well, I've done it a total of, uh...once. *CUT TO Jen and Dawson.*",
"Dawson: All I know is I'm really lucky to have you for a friend. I never could have gotten through those horrifically epic auditions today.",
"Jen: It's my job.",
"Dawson: No, that's above and beyond the call of duty. You must have heard those lines read so many times you have the whole thing committed to memory.",
"Jen: Well, the good thing is, if you get really desperate, I could always play your leading lady.",
"Dawson: Maybe you should have.",
"Jen: Should have what?",
"Dawson: Been my leading lady.",
"Jen: You think?",
"Dawson: Sometimes. Too much of the time. *Cut to Jack and Joey*",
"Joey: Was it scary?",
"Jack: Yeah.",
"Joey: Don't feel bad. I mean, I haven't done it at all, and it terrifies me from afar, so...",
"Jack: You know, it's not just that it was scary. I mean, that was part of it, but...I don't know, it's...it's hard to describe. You know, I'm not really that good at expressing myself. You know, I...I guess you found my...social flaw.",
"Joey: Could you try? *Cut back to Jen and Dawson*",
"Jen: I know you've got this notion that if you-- if you don't let your characters act on their desires, then you're making a stronger, riskier choice, but that's not real life.",
"Dawson: But it's so obvious. I mean that... the story is much stronger if the characters resist their lust.",
"Jen: But it's not real. True love is always fueled by lust, and people who care that much about each other will sooner or later end up having s*x. Even people who don't care that much. And besides, this is 1998. s*x is always a risky choice. I just don't happen to believe that it's an obvious one. I think that intent and motive is what makes s*x so interesting, Dawson. I mean, why do 2 people have s*x? Ok, uh, so they're in love. That's obvious. Who cares? But they're in lust. Slightly more interesting. They're hurting over someone. They're in pain. Trying to forget someone. They're in denial. They're looking for a distraction. All of a sudden, s*x has just become very interesting and not the obvious choice at all. Maybe you should think about a rewrite, Dawson. You've still got time. *Cut back to Jack and Joey*",
"Jack: Really? You--you want to know?",
"Joey: Yeah. I mean, not the gory details. Just...the feeling of it. Maybe you could describe it as if it were art.",
"Jack: Well...at first, it's all a jumble of emotions. Uh, it's hard to pinpoint. It's--it's kind of like expressionistic painting. But, you know, if you get comfortable with it, it's--it's like the first time you see Van Gogh's \"Starry night\". It's the same sky you've always seen, but everything...is different. Bigger. More passionate. The blues, the yellows, the swirling stars. Everything has feeling, movement. Even the colors seem alive. It's like...lying on Monet's water lilies. It's the warmth of a Georgia o'Keefe flower wrapped around you... feeling everything so intensely. It's the power and strength of a Degas dancer, it's the passion of...Munch's \"Scream,\" the-- *Phone rings and Jack jumps and stares at Joey. You people know what he had.* *Cut to Pacey leading a blindfolded Andie into a room.*",
"Andie: Where are we?",
"Pacey: Just wait.",
"Andie: Pacey, you're scaring me. Where have you taken me?",
"Pacey: Well, we just ate at Petite la Bistro, then we went for a stroll along the docks.",
"Andie: Blindfolded, I might add.",
"Pacey: So think about it. There's only one place we could be right now, isn't there?",
"Andie: Pacey, if I take off this blindfold and we're standing in a bed and breakfast, you're dead.",
"Pacey: Well...dispose of my remains now. *He removes her blindfolded. Andie looks around the room.*",
"Andie: Oh, Pacey. God, I don't know whether to be touched or terrified.",
"Pacey: Hey, listen, you know, this night was not designed to reach the verdict of doing it. I just--I wanted to give you your fantasy evening. You know, a French dinner, a stroll along the docks, a bed and breakfast, romantic music. We can save doing it for another time. This is a step-by-step process. For me, too.",
"Andie: Oh, Pacey.",
"Pacey: What? What's wrong?",
"Andie: I...I really want to do this. I mean... I'd be lying if I said I didn't. And...you're really special to me. But, uh, I... I don't--I don't think I'm ready for this right now. I mean, there's so much that's going on that you don't know about, and that I can't even begin to tell you, um, I...I can't do this. I'm sorry, Pacey. *He hugs her.*",
"Pacey: It's okay.",
"Andie: I can't do this.",
"Pacey: Why? Don't worry. It's no big deal. I told you. We can wait. Honestly... I think I brought you here tonight as much for me as I did for you. I just wanted to give you your fantasy evening, you know, so... please don't be upset with me. You have no idea what you've done for me, just being in my life. I mean, you make me feel like maybe there's hope for my pathetic existence, and I don't have to sleep with you to feel that. I feel it right now, just holding you in my arms. God, I am so lucky.",
"Andie: You know what, Witter? You make me want to do it. *They start making out* *Cut to Dawson in his bedroom at his laptop. He's staring at it then he looks at a picture of Joey and sets it on his table. He deletes his ending. Cut back to Jack and Joey*",
"Jack: Listen, I'm really sorry.",
"Joey: Listen, Jack, it's ok, you know, don't worry about it. Stuff happens. Although not usually that kind of stuff And usually not in the Potter living room.",
"Jack: I didn't think it would be such a big deal for me to pose for you.",
"Joey: Yeah, well...",
"Jack: Listen, um... is this gonna screw things up with us?",
"Joey: What do you mean?",
"Jack: Well, I mean, I didn't want to bring s*x in this evening, you know. All I wanted to do was help you. uh, I don't want you to think 'cause a...all this stuff...here we go again. Social flaw.",
"Joey: Well, let's be honest with ourselves. Yes, we both came in here with the noblest of intentions. But, you know, at the end of the day, we're both human, and...there's something between us that's...you know, it's a...is your social flaw contagious?",
"Jack: Uh, yeah... God, I was so naive to think that this was a good idea.",
"Joey: No, I take full responsibility for this evening's turn of events. I mean, it's my fault. I asked to hear it.",
"Jack: That's true. Actually, I think it was your fault. *They laugh*",
"Joey: It's...it's just that, uh... I don't know. Tonight was a big step in the life of little Joey Potter. She didn't feel so little tonight. I guess I just tried to bite off a tad too much.",
"Jack: Well, you were curious.",
"Joey: Yeah. For all the big words and not wanting to hear the gory details, I guess I'm just wrestling with my hormones like everyone else.",
"Jack: Well, um, you know, if you ever want to, uh, explore your curiosity...I'm available.",
"Joey: First you're a model, now you're a tour guide.",
"Jack: No. I'm just a guy who...finds it really hard not to want to hold you, and touch you, and I didn't really realize that until tonight when it was completely forbidden.",
"Joey: *moving closer to him*You have your clothes on now.",
"Jack: You're saying it's not forbidden?",
"Joey: No. I'm just saying it's, um...it's not as scary.",
"Jack: Gee, thanks. *She laughs*",
"Joey: No, you know what I mean.",
"Jack: I think that, uh, 2 scared people...cancel each other out.",
"Joey: Meaning?",
"Jack: Meaning that tonight was a night of firsts, and there's no reason that it has to stop. *They start kissing and it shows a close up of the drawing Joey drew of Jack.* *Dawson's crawling into Jen's window.*",
"Jen: Dawson? Dawson, what are you doing here?",
"Dawson: I've been thinking about what you said about motive and intent. And love vs. hurt vs. lust vs. distraction.",
"Jen: And? *He kisses her*",
"Dawson: Don't ask my motive.",
"Jen: I know better. *They kiss more intensely* *Cut to Andie and Pacey who are kissing. Pacey pulls away.*",
"Andie: What's wrong?",
"Pacey: Uh...you're not gonna believe this. Frankly, I don't really believe it, but... I don't want to do this. Yeah, I said that out loud, right?",
"Andie: You don't want to?",
"Pacey: Uh, no, no, I do. God, do I, but...",
"Andie: So?",
"Pacey: So, for once, Pacey Witter's raging hormones aren't going to do all the talking. And for once, I'm gonna do the right thing and...we're not ready for this, Andie.",
"Andie: B-but I might be ready and...",
"Pacey: Listen, at the risk of sounding like a really cheesy... after school special, when you're really ready, you'll know, and then we'll do this. Then we'll do this till the cows come home. But this thing is way too important for me to just fall back on the old \"do now, think later\" Pacey Witter approach. You know what the really risky thing for me to do is? It's to not have s*x. I mean, maybe that way I'll have some resemblance of a real relationship. So...you take all the time you need, 'cause I'll be here.",
"Andie: There you go again, Pacey. Just making me want to do it even more. *They kiss*",
"Pacey: Mmm...it's all part of my evil plan.",
"Andie: Mmm.",
"Pacey: Come on. I'll drive you home. *Cut to Joey and Jack kissing on Joey's couch then cut to Jen and Dawson making out on her bed, then cut back to Pacey and Andie exiting the Bed and Breakfast . They hold hands and walk to Pacey's car as \"To Be Continued\" appears on the screen.*"

"Abby particularly relishes the fact that all of her \"suspects\" will be subject to public humiliation once she presents her findings in class - one they all attend. After some investigation, Abby decides to solve her mystery a la Hercule Poirot, and sends mysterious invitations to a late-night meeting in the English classroom to all suspects. When Joey, Jack, Dawson, Jen, Pacey and Andie arrive, they realize that they've been trapped. Tension builds as they all squirm, and embarrassing revelations and accusations fly, but the end result is a big surprise to all. *Joey and Jack are outside of Joey's house*",
"Joey: Well, do you have everything?",
"Jack: Yeah, I think so.. *Joey just nods nervously and awkwardly.*",
"Joey: 'Kay...well...thanks for posing for me.",
"Jack: Yeah..sure... *Cut to Dawson and Jen on Jen's porch. Jen is still in her nightgown.*",
"Jen: That was an unexpected encounter.",
"Dawson: I don't know what came over me. I just...I wanna say--",
"Jen: Dawson, before we, um, disect what just happened, um, why don't we give it like 12 hours, okay?",
"Dawson: Okay. *Cut to Pacey and Andie, standing at the side of the car, kissing. Cut to Joey and Jack, still in the same spot*",
"Jack: You don't have any..regrets, do you?",
"Joey: *shakes her head no while smiling* No.",
"Jack: That's good. *Jack leans in and they kiss as we cut back to Dawson and Jen.*",
"Dawson: See you tomorrow?",
"Jen: 'K. Goodnight, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Goodnight, Jen. *He leans in and kisses her on the forehead. Then, heads back to his house. Cut to Pacey and Andie.*",

"Pacey: No, really, thank you.",
"Andie: No, really, thank you.",
"Pacey: I insist, thank you. *She turns around and faces him*",
"Andie: Thank you. *She walks towards her house. Cut to Joey and Jack. Jack is walking down the stairs. He waves goodbye as we cut to Joey's face, obviously thinking about what happened. Cut to Pacey, staring after Andie. Cut to Jen staring outside. Cut to opening credits.* *Cut to Mr. Peterson's class, Dawson is giving his presentation on \"mysteries in literature\" but he's showing a film. He pauses the film. The lights are off only the lamp on the podium is on.*",
"Dawson: So, we can conclude that film mysteries don't differ from literary ones, at all. The genre's still constructed in three sections: the setup, the testimonies, and the classic day neu mof (sp?) where all the characters are gathered in one room while the likes of Charlie Chan or Miss Marbalt (?) give their final monologue revealing the killer's identity. The key to solving any great crime is a practical understanding of human behavior. For it is there, that the motives are discovered and the greatest truths are revealed. And, remember, you never know when a mystery will find you. *He shuts off the light and there's a loud scream as Mr. Peterson turns the lights back on.*",
"Mr. Peterson: Thank you, Dawson. Your flair for the dramatic is always in some small degree appreciated. I think we have time for one more...Abby! What incredible insight do you bring to the mystery genre?",
"Abby: Actually, Mr. Peterson, I don't have my project. You see, the most tragic thing occurred while I was working on it. Our family pet, a very temperamental schnauzer named Giggles, got underneath the bathroom sink and chewed up a whole box of chocolate-flavored laxatives that my dad sometimes needs. So anyways, Giggles ate the whole box and he bled to death, internally. Apparently, chocolate laxatives are toxic to dogs.",
"Mr. Peterson: It's a shame, Ms. Morgan, that you can't find a more productive outlet for your creative lying.",
"Abby: I'm not lying.",
"Mr. Peterson: Please, let's just stick to the fundamentals. The alphabet. The letter 'F'. If you don't turn in your project, I'll see to it that you fail this course. *bell rings*",
"Mr. Peterson: Tomorrow, we are hosting a book fair in the school cafeteria. I remind you, as literary scholars, your attendence is mandatory. *As Chris was getting up to leave, he spotted a folded note on the ground a couple of desks up. He goes up and grabs it and reads it. He looks a little surprised and looks around. Cut to the cafeteria. Joey and Jack are sitting together.*",
"Jack: So, uh, are we ever going to speak again?",
"Joey: I hope so.",
"Jack: Why's it so awkward?",
"Joey: Mmm, I can answer that for 200, Bob! *Cut to Pacey opening his textbook when Andie comes up behind him and covers his eyes.*",
"Andie: Hey, Mr. Witter, how are you? *They start kissing when Pacey stops.*",
"Pacey: I--you know, um, we probably shouldn't do this right here.",
"Andie: I'm sorry. I just had a major lust issue where you're concerned. Thanks for last night. You were a perfect gentlemen. And I thoroughly enjoyed myself.",
"Pacey: Glad I could be of service. I had a nice time, too.",
"Andie: Good. *Cut to Dawson sitting down by Jen in the cafeteria.*",
"Dawson: Hey!",
"Jen: Hi.",
"Dawson: How are ya?",
"Jen: Fine...you?",
"Dawson: Great. *reaches into bag for a manila envelope, handing it to Jen.* My, um, script. New and improved. I got home last night, and I tooled around some changes. I think they'll address your concern.",
"Jen: Let me guess, they do it, huh?",
"Dawson: Um, actually, the so-called Dawson character does it with the beautiful *VCR screwed up* from the big city he has a crush on. I made the changes per our last conversation.",
"Jen: Per our last conversation or per our last physical encounter?",
"Dawson: Let's just say you inspired me. *Cut to Abby and Chris in line in the cafeteria.*",
"Abby: If I had a gun, Mr. Peterson would be dead. If I fail English, I have summer school hell!",
"Chris: Did you have s*x last night?",
"Abby: Are you talking to me? 'Cause if you are, that's a Non Sequitor I'm choosing to ignore.",
"Chris: Well, somebody's going at it. I'm just trying to figure out who it is.",
"Abby: What are you talking about? *Chris hands her the note he found.*",
"Abby: \"I want to talk to you about last night. The whole night was amazing, but s*x changes everything. And I think we should take some time before anything happens again.\" Where'd you find this?",
"Chris: On the floor, in Mr. Peterson's class.",
"Abby: I don't recognize the handwriting. Did you see who dropped it?",
"Chris: No. *Cut to Jack and Joey.*",
"Jack: Did you finish your drawing? Did you turn it in yet or.. *Joey reaches down and comes back up with a big blue folder, she opens it but Jack shuts it quickly.*",
"Jack: Wo! Hey! Leaving my shameless nature has it's threshhold. It's one thing posing naked in the quiet of your living room, but in the cafeteria? No. Uh-uh.",
"Joey: Jack, don't worry. This is strictly for my professor's eyes only. *He scoots in closer and then looks at it.*",
"Jack: Do you think I could have it? After you're done? You know, as a keepsake?",
"Joey: Why so you can remember your 15 minutes of fame as a male model?",
"Jack: So I can remember everything about last night. *Cut to Andie and Pacey.*",
"Andie: What's this?",
"Pacey: It's nothing. Just my history quiz.",
"Andie: Oh, so what'd you get?",
"Pacey: Never you mind.",
"Andie: No, really, what did you get?",
"Pacey: It's none of your business.",
"Andie: What's wrong, Pacey?",
"Pacey: Nothing.",
"Andie: Is it a bad grade or is it me? I mean, you're not upset about last night, are you?",
"Pacey: No, last night was fine. Um..",
"Andie: Look, I know that things...escalated in our relationship and a lot was said and done that--",
"Pacey: Andie, can we (missed word) with this...for right now? Please? It's just, you know, I have to study. You want me studying, right?",
"Andie: Yeah, but more importantly, I don't want you to turn into some stereotypical guy that turns off and shuts down as soon as a relationship starts to progress.",
"Pacey: I'm not shutting down, okay? It's just, I'm really behind and uh, I have to study. You understand that right?",
"Andie: Yeah... *Cut to Dawson and Jen.*",
"Jen: So you're okay with everything?",
"Dawson: Completely fine...are you?",
"Jen: Yeah. I'm fine. I was just more worried about you.",
"Dawson: Don't be. Last night was last night. Today we have a movie to make so...we're still friends. And whatever word applies to what we are.",
"Jen: Friends. Or whatever. *Cut back to Abby and Chris.*",
"Abby: This is it! This is what I'll do for Peterson. Instead of deconstructing some literary convention, I'll solve my own real-life mystery. It's original, it's creative, it's so Abby Morgan.",
"Chris: And what's the mystery?",
"Abby: Who wrote this letter? Who had s*x?",
"Chris: Yeah, but there's like 20 people in that class. It could be anyone.",
"Abby: Common sense eliminates 90% of them.When you think about it, there's only three likely couples. The most obvious being Pacey and Andie. *Chris and Abby turn to look at them.* Pacey's sexually experienced, as we all know, and Andie's fallen head-over-heels in love with him. Insanity runs in her family.",
"Chris: Yeah...",
"Abby: Then, there's Joey and Jack. *their attention switches to them.* They share their whole artistic vibe. Progressive...uninhibited...experimental..",
"Chris: And Joey's got her hot little angle.",
"Abby: Then, there's Dawson and Jen. *Chris and Abby look at them.* He's on the rebound and, God knows, she likes to bounce.",
"Chris: What about you? Do you like to bounce?",
"Abby: *disgusted* Chris, your lines land like bricks. Look, I'm going to need your help on this. You're going to have to document this thing.",
"Chris: Why? Out of the goodness of my heart? Forget about it.",
"Abby: I'll let you touch me in bad places.",
"Chris: Okay. *Cut to Dawson and Joey standing outside of the school under the ledge, sheltered from the rain.*",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Joey: Hey, Dawson. Looks like scary weather.",
"Dawson: Yeah, I heard it's supposed to rain for the next couple days. What ya got there? *motioning towards blue folder*",
"Joey: Oh this? Drawing for art class.",
"Dawson: A naked man?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Dawson: How'd it turn out?",
"Joey: Naked. *laughs*",
"Dawson: Can I see it?",
"Joey: Ummm how's the movie coming, Dawson?",
"Dawson: Um, still casting. We can't seem to find a leading lady.",
"Joey: Why is that?",
"Dawson: Well, it's difficult. The part requires a certain mixture of spirit and passion, wide-eyed innocence, and unparalleled external beauty.",
"Joey: Well, it sounds like you're looking for a Julia Roberts.",
"Dawson: What I need is a you. *silence*",
"Joey: Dawson, is this movie about us?",
"Dawson: It's a drama in the vain of us.",
"Joey: Well, I should read it don't you think? I mean, make sure it's not a character assasination.",
"Dawson: Jo, I would never write anything hurtful about you, ever. I hope you know that.",
"Joey: Yeah..",
"Dawson: Looks like I should probably make a break for it. Thanks for waiting out in the rain with me.",
"Joey: Anytime. *She stares after him as he walks off.* *Cut to Abby and Chris and Chris' locker.*",
"Abby: Have you seen Dawson's rewrite? We have s*x. It's disgusting.",
"Chris: Yeah...so when do you want to practice?",
"Abby: Chris, I have a finger I'd place in my mouth for vomiting. My point was this is the closest thing we have to a clue in our little Who Screwed It? Now, I'm going to need your help with the necessary questioning.",
"Chris: What? You're just going to ask these guys if they had s*x?",
"Abby: No! You can't ask them directly. You just have to shake the tree a little bit. See what falls out.",
"Jen: *from offscreen* Hey you guys!",
"Abby: *to Chris* Watch. *Jen appears.*",
"Jen: Um, I'm trying to work out a rehearsal schedule for the film...so I'm going to need you guys to fill these out with your availibility schedules for the next few weeks and get them back to me ASAP, alright?",
"Abby: So Jen, I just had the pleasure of reading Dawson's rewrites and I noticed some significant alterations. Mainly, one of the kinkiest s*x scenes since Mickey Rourke cracked open the refridgerator in 9 1/2 weeks.",
"Jen: Alright, Abby, before you go there--",
"Abby: No, I'm already there, Jen. You see, since Dawson's movie is mostly autobiographical, I was wondering if some of my new scenes were acted out before they were written.",
"Jen: It really doesn't take too much to ship your hyper-creative mind into overdrive, does it?",
"Abby: Oh, no! This isn't just based on assumption. People do hear things. Like about the other night.",
"Jen: What about it?",
"Abby: You tell me. Does Dawson Leery have any other talents besides filmmaking?",
"Jen: Abby, what happens in my bedroom, is my business, okay?",
"Abby: Your bedroom? Is that where the critical events unfolded?",
"Jen: I didn't say that.",
"Abby: You didn't refute it either. Jen, it's written all over your post-coital, glowing face. You finally wooed the Wonderboy into the dark side. So was it worth all the pining? All the feeling that you weren't good enough?",
"Jen: Yeah, it was. *Jen walks into her classroom. Chris comes up behind Abby.*",
"Chris: My God, you did it! You got her to break.",
"Abby: Yeah, right. A sexual confession from Jen Lindley? Please. That's like Bill Gates admitting he made $2 last year. No, our work is far from over. We still have to find out who's handwriting was on that letter. *Cut to Abby and Pacey's locker. She's holding a clipboard and a pen.*",
"Pacey: What's this?",
"Abby: I know you can read, Pacey. It's a petition.",
"Pacey: For what?",
"Abby: A school condom dispenser. I'm collecting signatures.",
"Pacey: You're too much, Abby.",
"Abby: Teenagers, these days. We're just growing up so fast. s*x is everywhere. Like, you know, with you and Andie.",
"Pacey: Hey, you know, tell me, Abby. What would it take to make you a distant memory? *She holds out the clipboard and the pen, smiling. Cut to Abby following Jack.*",
"Abby: All I'm asking for is a signature, a little John Hancock, and I'll be gone.",
"Jack: The only thing I'd support of yours is your execution.",
"Abby: Careful Jack, some may take that caustic edge as a biproduct of serious sexual repression. Speaking of which, have you had s*x with Joey?",
"Jack: *stops walking* You've got to be kidding me. *Cut to Chris and Dawson*",
"Chris: Since your life seems to be infested in this role, I thought I'd pick your brain a little.",
"Dawson: Okay...shoot.",
"Chris: Okay, well, the s*x scene, for instance. Clearly took from life experience.",
"Dawson: Your point?",
"Chris: Well, I just wanted to know what it was like. The first time. I mean, it's been so long since my own first adventure in the jungles of love. I thought I'd ask a newcomer.",
"Dawson: Wait, you think that I had s*x with Jen? *Cut back to Jack and Abby.*",
"Abby: Wait, so you didn't have s*x with her?",
"Jack: Yes!",
"Abby: You did?!",
"Jack: Yes! No, no! Yes, I did not have s*x with Joey. Look, go away, you're demented. *Cut back to Chris and Dawson.*",
"Chris: I'm just going by what I hear.",
"Dawson: And who's the source this time?",
"Chris: Well, if you and Jen were the only two in her room...who do you think it is? *Cut to Abby talking to Andie who's holding the petition.*",
"Abby: Sign it for all womanhood. Most women don't have the knowledge you do about protecting themselves.",
"Andie: My knowledge?",
"Abby: You can play the whole demure, injenue from Road Island with another audience because I know everything.",
"Andie: *disbelieving* You do?",
"Abby: Yeah. Like about the other night. It's the property of gossip transference. Pacey brags to Dawson, Dawson tells Jen, Jen tells me, I tell the world, you know how it goes.",
"Andie: And the current piece of gossip revolves around Pacey and me?",
"Abby: Andie, I really don't want to be the one to impart on you that your boyfriend says you're lacking. It's not your fault that all his experience is with a 40-year-old teacher. What does he expect from you? *Andie slams the clipboard down and storms off.* *Cut to Chris and Joey.*",
"Chris: *motioning to script* It's a good read. Recently he did some heavy-duty revisions. Put in a little lucky...well, I don't want to give away the ending.",
"Joey: Look, Chris, I should wait until he asks.",
"Chris: Tell you what? I'll just slip it in your bag right here and you make the call.",
"Joey: Whatever.",
"Chris: Oh and Joey, you might want to keep it on the QT. *She walks out of the room. Chris looks under the table and finds a familiar large blue folder as Abby enters.*",
"Abby: Who do I have to sleep with to solve this mystery?",
"Chris: I can think of one option.",
"Abby: Yeah, right. *Chris motions to the folder.*",
"Abby: Hm, Miss Potter seems to have left something behind. *They look at the drawing of Jack, naked. Abby's eyes light up.*",
"Abby: And the plot thickens. *Cut to Dawson's room. Dawson is looking at his script and rubbing his temples when Abby enters the doorway and knocks. He turns.*",
"Dawson: Abby.",
"Abby: You should really work on making those greetings more personable, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Look, Abby, I don't know what you're up to, but I'm not in the mood.",
"Abby: That's not what I hear.",
"Dawson: Really? Well, I know what you're implying, and I'm telling you, despite any and all rumors, Jen and I did not have s*x.",
"Abby: *face drops* That's too bad.",
"Dawson: I'm fine with it, actually.",
"Abby: No, I mean, for Joey. She must be feeling like crap right now. I mean, here she went and slept with Jack and the only thing protecting her from the oodles of guilt that one amasses from such a critical event was the slight chance that you and Jen bumped uglies.",
"Dawson: I don't know where you're going with this conversation, but I'm ending it.",
"Abby: You know what? You're right. I should just give you this and go. *She hands him a folded up piece of white paper* *Dawson opens it and it's the drawing of Jack.*",
"Dawson: This means nothing.",
"Abby: Except the obvious. Has Joey ever drawn you naked?",
"Dawson: Out! *She heads toward the door.*",
"Abby: Jack McPhee drawn naked, Dawson Leery drawn out of the picture. After all these years, you weren't Joey's first. You're certainly not going to be her last. So I guess that makes you her...nothing. *Dawson slams the door. Cut to hallways of school.*",
"Mr. Peterson: *over P.A.* The book fair is now commencing, expand your horizons. Read a book today, because there's more to life than Must See TV. *Abby and Chris walk out*",
"Abby: Don't we have enough to read for school? They want us to start reading for pleasure?",
"Chris: Don't you look ample today.",
"Abby: Hands off! I don't want to catch any of your diseases.",
"Chris: So...whodunit? I'm beginning to think they all did it.",
"Abby: We'll find out soon enough. The day neu moi is rapidly approaching.",
"Chris: The day neu moi is for revealing answers, Abby. You don't have any.",
"Abby: You underestimate me. You heard Dawson, \"The secret to solving a mystery is gaging human behavior.\" If I make them think I have the answers, the answers will be forthcoming. *hands some letters to Chris* Make sure these get into the right hands, and be discreet about it.",
"Chris: You know who you are, you're Nancy Drew. From Hell.",
"Abby: And don't you forget it.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"*Cut to the book fair.*",
"Pacey: Hey McPhee. You got a second?",
"Andie: I'm busy.",
"Pacey: Yeah, I know but I need to talk to you.",
"Andie: Really? Apparently, you've been doing enough talking for both of us.",
"Pacey: Excuse me?",
"Andie: You know, it's interesting that I get the cold, shut-down, non-verbal, Pacey while the rest of Capeside gets a taste of return of Pacey Witter, underachieving, town-latthario.",
"Pacey: Listen, I know you're probably freaked out by my weirdness yesterday, and actually, that's why I came in here to talk to you but you're kind of losing me on everything else.",
"Andie: What have you been saying to people about us Pacey?",
"Pacey: About us? Nothing.",
"Andie: That's not what Abby Morgan says.",
"Pacey: C'mon, Andie. Since when do you listen to what Abby Morgan has to say?",
"Andie: She knows.",
"Pacey: About?",
"Andie: The other night.",
"Pacey: What? Andie, what's to know? You and I shared a wonderful, romantic evening.",
"Andie: If you weren't happy with me or what happened the other night you should have made it clear instead of spreading all this sexual propaganda all over school.",
"Pacey: Are you kidding me?",
"Andie: The other night, it was personal. And the fact that there's some war-provisioness version of it wafting all over the hall makes me think someone's been talking. And makes me really not want to talk to you right now.",
"Pacey: Okay, if that's what you think, then I guess we really don't have anything to talk about. *He walks out of the book fair and Andie returns behind the counter of the library desk and finds a letter left for her. Cut to Jen looking at some books. She bends down to the lower half of the rack and Joey's right across from her.*",
"Joey: Hey.",
"Jen: Hey. *she notices Dawson's script hanging out of Joey's bag* So that's Dawson's script, huh?",
"Joey: Oh, yeah...*she pushes the bag back and still doesn't make eye contact with Jen.*",
"Jen: So did you read it yet?",
"Joey: *kind of angrily* I flipped through it.",
"Jen: So what'd you think?",
"Joey: I thought it was a one-sided view of a story that would be better left untold.",
"Jen: I take it you don't like the way you're depicted.",
"Joey: *looks her in the eye* That and I'm just wondering what other parts of the script are autobiographical.",
"Jen: Well, maybe you should talk to the writer about that. *Joey continues to give her a cold stare as Jen walks off. Cut to a note reading JACK on the front taped to a locker as Jack grabs it off and kneels down to look at it. Dawson walks up.*",
"Dawson: *coldly* Have you seen Joey?",
"Jack: She's at the book fair.",
"Dawson: Well, since you two seem real close these days, you'll probably see her before I will.",
"Jack: Is there an animosity of a point here, Dawson, or is this just another chance for you to harass me over a decaying issue?",
"Dawson: *deadly cold* Give her this for me. Tell her I was overwhelmed. By her talent. *handing him the piece of paper of the drawing of him.*",
"Jack: So was I. *Dawson storms off. Cut to school, it's lightning and raining outside. Cut to Jack in Mr. Peterson's classroom, pacing reading his invitation. Jen enters.*",
"Jen: Hellloooo. *sees Jack* Jack? What are you doing here?",
"Jack: I got an invitation, taped to my locker, it says: \"Your presence is requested in Mr. Peterson's room, 7pm. I have something very valuable that may belong to you.\"",
"Jen: Yeah, I got the exact same invitation. *Andie enters.*",
"Jack: Andie?",
"Andie: What are you doing here? *Jack motions to his invitation as Pacey and Joey enter.*",
"Pacey: I see you all got the mysterious summons, too. So what's going down? Is this some impractical joke or what?",
"Joey: That's what I wanna know.",
"Pacey: *sighs* You know, I have this horrible feeling I know exactly who's behind this. *Dawson enters.*",
"Dawson: Who? Could you tell me what's going on? *Abby enters the room.*",
"Abby: Oh, look! All my favorite people gathered together in one room and I forgot my camera!",
"Dawson: I should've known. *Chris enters with a camcorder*",
"Abby: *laughs* Oh, no I didn't!",
"Jen: Okay, Abby, what devious scheme have you hatched up this time?",
"Abby: All good things come to those who wait, but you've never been very good at postponing pleasure, have you?",
"Pacey: Why did you bring us here Abby? Take part in one of your Satanic rituals?",
"Abby: Actually, it's my mystery project. In my possession, I have a letter. A lost letter. That was written by one of you in this room to another one of you in this room. Stop me if you've heard this before. \"I want to talk to you about last night. It always comes out wrong so I thought I'd write it down. The whole night was amazing, but having s*x changes everything and I think we should take some time before anything happens again.\"",
"Joey: You know, this is absurd, I am so outta here.",
"Abby: Oh, come on, Joey! Don't you want to stick around and see who the author of this letter is? *She takes a seat as Abby goes up to the podium.*",
"Abby: s*x. The world's greated mystery. Philosphers, poets, scientists over time have tried to rationalize it, explain it, glorify it, criminalize it!",
"Dawson: Spare us the monologue.",
"Jen: Could you just get to the point, Abby?",
"Jack: Who wrote the letter?",
"Abby: Who wrote the letter? *Abby goes down and turns on the lights.*",
"Abby: That's all you care about, isn't it?! Fine! When the letter was first brought to my attention...my gut instinct said 'Dawson and Jen.' She's been trying to seduce him for weeks! And now with all their late night working sessions and him reliving his puny affair with Joey through his writing, I thought, maybe in the heat of the moment, he needed a Joey replacement. Then, I thought, Dawson, no way. He's saving himself for Joey...or old age, whichever comes first. And Jen? She has way too many intimacy issues to bump somebody she cares about. So my next guess was Jack and Joey. Joey is the liberated woman these days and underneath Jack's sensitive, little-boy-lost fascade, I have a feeling that there's a s*x pig just waiting to jump out. *softer to Jack* Let me know when you're ready to graduate to a real woman.",
"Jack: You're sick and so wrong.",
"Dawson: Is she? We've all seen the picture.",
"Joey: What? You don't know what you're talking about, Dawson, that drawing was for art class.",
"Dawson: What happened after the model session?",
"Joey: What do you care?",
"Dawson: Maybe I don't.",
"Abby: Here we go, get this, Chris.",
"Joey: Oh, that's right, you're too busy rewriting your script to imitate life. I know all about you and Jen.",
"Dawson: What do you care?!",
"Abby: How sad. Romantic destiny fulfilled with the wrong people.",
"Dawson: Abby, you have it all wrong!",
"Abby: Oh, so you didn't have s*x with Jen? *Dawson looks at Joey. Then, Jen.*",
"Joey: Well, answer the question, Dawson. Tell the truth.",
"Dawson: The truth is you slept with Jack.",
"Joey: Maybe I did.",
"Dawson: Well, maybe I slept with Jen.",
"Abby: This is good.",
"Joey: You did, didn't you?",
"Dawson: Did you?",
"Joey: Maybe.",
"Dawson: Tell the truth, Joey!",
"Joey: No you tell the truth!",
"Dawson: I asked you a question first!",
"Joey: No I asked you a question first!",
"Dawson and Joey (simultaneously): YES!!!!!! *Lightning crashes as both Joey's and Dawson's faces drop and there's a long silence*",
"Jen: That's not the truth. We did not sleep together. I couldn't go through with it and neither could he. It wasn't right and this pathetic display here makes it all the more obvious why. *Dawson sits on his desk not facing Joey.*",
"Jack: We didn't either. *Dawson turns around* Your little assumption, Dawson. It was wrong. We couldn't go through with it. This little movie-life your living, Dawson, is not endanger. *Pacey's head is laying flat on his desk.*",
"Abby: Well, then we only have one couple left. *Abby reads from the note:** \"s*x changes everything, and I think we should take some time before anything happens again.\" This only leaves Andie.",
"Andie: I didn't write that!",
"Abby: Of course you didn't. I checked the handwriting. It belongs to Pacey. *Pacey looks up at Andie.*",
"Andie: You wrote that? *he doesn't make a move* Well, did you, Pacey? *Pacey slowly nods.*",
"Andie: *starting to cry* Why? *he doesn't say anything* Okay, so that's why you've been so weird lately. That's why you've been so cold. *Pacey shakes his head no* What are you trying to say, Pacey? So you sleep with me and you don't want me? *Pacey just sits there.*",
"Andie: You disgust me. *Pacey closes his eyes as she storms out of the room. He gets up and walks over to Jack.*",
"Pacey: That's not how it is. *The group starts leaving.*",
"Abby: Did you get that? *Chris gives her a thumbs up as Abby turns around and looks a little shocked as Jen walks up to her.*",
"Jen: I don't know where you come from or just who has the misfortune of being responsible for your existence but you are a lying, manipulative, and cruel person and the fact that you're only 16 years old makes me feel more sorry for you than any of the people in this room who's lives you're so intent on destroying. You are pathetic. *Jen walks off as Abby looks off into the distance.* *Cut to Joey giving her presentation.*",
"Joey: Because of her well-drawn sleuths and clever mysteries, Agatha Christie will remain as the premiere woman mystery writer of the past, present, and future. Thank you.",
"Mr. Peterson: Very good, Josephine. Now, Abigail. *She pulls out a thick red folder and a tape and sets it on her desk as Joey, Dawson, Andie, Pacey, and Jen intently watch her.*",
"Mr. Peterson: (cont.) Is it possible Ms. Morgan that you're going to surprise me with your assignment? Is it possible that you've finally decided to do something good for yourself and apply a little integrity to your education? *Abby looks around at Joey, Dawson, Andie, Jen, and Pacey. She puts the folder and tape back under her desk.*",
"Abby: I wouldn't want to disappoint you, Mr. Peterson. I didn't do it. And integrity, just for the record, is a tired notion last seen in the late 70s.",
"Mr. Peterson: Well, then, I'm sure lack of integrity will make it easier to accept your 'F'. *Abby looks miserable.*",
"Mr. Peterson: Just for the record. And who is next...Miss McPhee. *Andie gets up with her stuff and walks past Abby.*",
"Andie: Thank you.",
"Abby: Whatever... *Cut to Jack in an empty classroom, pulling down a chair and he sits in it. Jen enters the room.*",
"Jen: Hey.",
"Jack: Hey.",
"Jen: What are you doing here? School's over. Go home.",
"Jack: Nah, I'm just, um, thinking.",
"Jen: About what?",
"Jack: How it's not that much fun playing second string.",
"Jen: I know what you mean. Don't worry, you'll get used to it. I have. *She starts to leave but he pulls down another chair.*",
"Jack: Uh, here, have a seat.",
"Jen: Okay.",
"Jack: So, um, what are you gonna do about Dawson?",
"Jen: Well, I guess there's really nothing I can do. I mean, as much as I love the guy, he's just not there yet. I mean, I can take all the jerks in the world climbing in and out of my bedroom window, but when Dawson Leery does it, it better be for me.",
"Jack: That is so cool how you can just unleash all that onto someone you barely even know.",
"Jen: Or just crazy.",
"Jack: No. I wish that I could be more open like that.",
"Jen: Well, why don't you give it a shot? Why didn't you and Joey do it?",
"Jack: *laughs nervously* I can't say.",
"Jen: Come on, you can think of it as growth. Come on, you've got to tell me, shoot.",
"Jack: No.",
"Jen: Oh, c'mon, I just spilled my guts to you. Go for it.",
"Jack: Okay, alright, but you promise not to say anything to anyone.",
"Jen: Swear.",
"Jack: 'Kay 'cause you know...it's really embarressing. *Jen makes the sign she's crossing her heart.*",
"Jack: *he leans in towards her* I couldn't, uh, get it up.",
"Jen: You couldn't get it--",
"Jack: Shh!",
"Jen: Oh, I know, I know. So what happened?",
"Jack: I can't speak for Joey but I really wanted to, really badly, and it just wouldn't cooperate. I mean, I couldn't even take my clothes off because I was so scared. Maybe I have a problem...I don't know.",
"Jen: No, hey, it's okay. Alright, believe me. I've been there. Oh yeah, those things just never cooperate. *They laugh* *Cut to Pacey running towards Andie in the rain. He gets in her car.*",
"Andie: Get out.",
"Pacey: We're not done.",
"Andie: Oh, yes, we are.",
"Pacey: I know that my behavior lately has been a little bit confusing and I'm sorry for being so cold and so distant, but a lot of stuff has been happening. I mean, I don't even know really where to start.",
"Andie: You can start by getting out of the car.",
"Pacey: How about I start at the truth. *He digs around in his bag and pulls out a piece of paper and gives it to her* My history quiz. I never told you my grade.",
"Andie: Pacey, you got a--",
"Pacey: An 'A'. I got an 'A'. The first 'A' I've ever gotten in my entire life. It kind of threw me for a loop.",
"Andie: Why? You worked so hard for it.",
"Pacey: Because it changes everything. Don't you see everything's always been so predictable for me. But now, my whole life's course is changing. Ever since you and I had s*x, I've felt anxious, you know? Wondering should we have waited? Should we slow down? Wondering if it was the right thing to do. Wishing that I had taken the high road, and that's not me! You know? It used to be the only comforting part about Pacey Witter is that I always knew what to expect, and now I don't have a clue and I'm terrified. And that's why I was pulling away from you.",
"Andie: It's okay to be scared, Pacey. The world is a scary, scary place. But I don't want you to be scared of me.",
"Pacey: How can I not be, Andie? You're the one that's opening up this whole new life for me. I'm afraid that...",
"Andie: What?",
"Pacey: I'm afraid because you're the single-most, important being to ever grace my existance. Andie, I am falling hopelessly in love with you. *silence* Say something because I did kind of just cut it open and lay it out for ya.",
"Andie: Yeah, that was pretty scary.",
"Pacey: That's it. That's all you have to say.",
"Andie: No. I'll say that I share your fear.",
"Pacey: Yeah?",
"Andie: Your exact fear. *They kiss. Cut to Joey at her locker as Dawson walks up to his. They're close to each other but don't say anything. JOey finishes and starts to walk away when Dawson stops her.*",
"Dawson: You and I crisects til we're blue in the face but when it comes time to actually doing it, all we're left with is a couple of harmless kisses. I mean, the setting was right, the timing was perfect, but nothing happened. Why?",
"Joey: I know why.",
"Dawson: You do?",
"Joey: Yeah. The same reason nothing happened with me. Dawson, it's not about the perfect setting. It's not about the perfect timing. Um, it's about the perfect person. *She walks out and heads for the door as Dawson stares after her. Joey is outside under the ledge sheltered from the rain. Dawson comes out.*",
"Joey: Hey. *silence*",
"Dawson: Why did you want me to think you slept with Jack?",
"Joey: I don't know. I mean, I guess the same reason you wanted me to think that you slept with Jen.",
"Dawson: That's not an answer.",
"Joey: Well, that's the only answer you're going to get I guess.",
"Dawson: I'm glad you didn't.",
"Joey: I glad you didn't either.",
"Dawson: Joey, I miss you.",
"Joey: I miss you, too.",
"Dawson: I don't know if we can recapture 15 years of what we had but I'd be willing to accept any small fraction you'd send my way.",
"Joey: Well, maybe we could start slowly.",
"Dawson: Okay...yeah.",
"Joey: Okay.",
"Dawson: Okay. *sighs* Well, it doesn't look like this rain is going to let up anytime soon so...what do you say we make a run for it?",
"Joey: Mm-mm. I say we walk. *They start walking.*",
"Dawson: What did you really think of my script? *He takes off his coat and holds it above them to shelter them from the rain.*",
"Joey: You want the whole honest, bitter, cynical truth?",
"Dawson: Yeah.",
"Joey: Well, I have no idea. It was so mysterious.",
"Dawson: You're definitely a mystery.",
"Joey: I like the way you see me. *She smiles.* *They continue walking off into the distance together, Dawson holding his coat above their heads.*"

"Dawson: So. What'd you think?",
"Joey: That was the director's cut, right? 'Cause it seemed a lot bloodier.",
"Dawson: No, I meant with you and me. We did it.",
"Joey: Did what?",
"Dawson: First official movie night, post-breakup. I'd say it went rather well.",
"Joey: Yeah...well, congrats. I should probably go.",
"Dawson: Where are you going...Jo?",
"Joey: Well, Dawson, we watched a movie...",
"Dawson: Hold on a second I have some pictures I want you to look at.",
"Joey: You're really okay with all this.",
"Dawson: What? You and me?",
"Joey: Yeah...",
"Dawson: Yeah. I'm just so happy we're past all that relationship trauma.",
"Joey: Good. Me too.",
"Dawson: Great! So...*motions to stack of papers with pictures on them he's holding* the big dilemma, now that you're officially helping me in the movie, is who is going to be cast as Sammy. Joey...you're a...distinct, unattainable original.",
"Joey: Dawson, maybe you should progress beyond the notion that the character, Sammy, is me. I mean, why don't you look at it as finding an actress who can bring their own interpretation into the role. *Dawson acts like he's not sure about that.*",
"Joey: I'm kind of....I'm amazed at how together you are about us.",
"Dawson: Time to learn to let go. Plus, you let me go *Joey's face falls* so I mean, granted, at first, it was really hard for me to accept but I mean, you moved on. You're with Jack. You let go. So, in turn, I let go of you.",
"Joey: Well, uh, since we're all letting go of each other...I really should go. Um....um....yeah...um, I'm really tired and you always have a lot to do...",
"Dawson: I'll see you tomorrow, Joey.",
"Joey: Yeah....um....goodnight.",
"Dawson: Goodnight. *She hesitates at the doorway and turns around to look back at him. He's glancing over the papers for the role of Sammy. She looks slightly hurt by this.* *Cut to Joey in her art class. They're drawing a nude girl.*",
"Teacher: Try and invoke a feeling that you have for the subject. Remember, this is your work so personalize it. If you see the world in triangles...then go with it. *He walks behind Joey and glances at her sketch.*",
"Teacher: Excellent work, Joey. You're coming along nicely.",
"Joey: Thanks. *Dawson enters the room and walks up to Joey. She looks very surprised when she sees him.*",
"Dawson: Joey...hey. *Joey looks around wildly.*",
"Joey: Dawson, what are you doing here?",
"Dawson: I had to do some research at the college library but I wanted to give you my revised draft...hot of the presses.",
"Joey: Thanks but I'm in class. *Dawson moves to look at her drawing, then he looks at the model.*",
"Joey: Dawson...",
"Dawson: She's n-naked.",
"Joey: Yeah, okay, peep show's over now get out or you're going to get me in trouble.",
"Teacher: I'm sorry but this class is closed to wide-eyed visitors, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.",
"Dawson: Sorry... *When he turns to leave he runs into an easel. He finally gets out the door. We cut to a picture of the face of the model, who is DEVON (Rachel Leigh Cook)* *Cut to Pacey in Andie's room reading a magazine.*",
"Pacey: Hey it says right here that I can have the butt I always wanted in three weeks.",
"Andie: Pacey, I've seen your butt you have nothing to worry about. *Pacey moves towards the full-length mirror and starts looking at his own butt.*",
"Pacey: You know, it's no wonder we have such an obsession with the posterior. It's impossible to get a good sense of one's own butt, you know? *Andie comes out of the bathroom attached to her bedroom.*",
"Andie: Pacey? Are you checking out your own butt in the mirror?",
"Pacey: Me? No... *He quickly goes back over to the bed and picks up the magazine again while Andie goes back into the bathroom and takes out her pills and takes them. A few seconds pass and Pacey gets up to see what Andie's doing and by then she's done.*",
"Pacey: I do agree with you though. This butt *grabs his* belongs in the Hall of Fame, what do you say?",
"Andie: Mmm. Nice try. *Andie sits down on her bed while Pacey goes into the bathroom to get a tissue. He spots a medicine bottle in her trash. He picks it up, and it's the zanX medicine she had when Pacey saw her in the drug store. He leaves the bathroom with a confused look on his face. Cut to Dawson in the college library. From behind the shelf behind Dawson, we see Devon.*",
"Devon: See anything you like? *Dawson spins around.*",
"Dawson: Oh my God....you're the--",
"Devon: Model. My name's Devon.",
"Dawson: Hi. Um...Dawson. You must think I'm a total perv.",
"Devon: Actually, I was leaning more towards deviant. My psych profesor would say you were, um, suffering from some sort of latened desire. The need for someone to watch you...watching.",
"Dawson: Well...sorry to disappoint ya. I was just dropping something off for a friend. It was just an unluck--",
"Devon: Well, psych's not my major, anyway. *She walks away but Dawson persists.*",
"Dawson: How do you do that? Model naked? It's kind of uncomfortable...",
"Devon: Well, actually I'm a drama major so I look at it as kind of an acting exercise. Plus, it helps and the money doesn't suck.",
"Dawson: So you're an actress?",
"Devon: Mm-hm.",
"Dawson: That's interesting...I'm, uh, directing a movie.",
"Devon: Oh, I didn't know they had a film school here!",
"Dawson: They don't. I'm, uh, still in high school.",
"Devon: And you're trying to make your first film. That's cute. Good luck.",
"Dawson: It's my second film, actually. My first film won the Junior division in the Boston Film Festival. And they gave me the funds to make my second effort.",
"Devon: *not that enthused* Impressive.",
"Dawson: You know what? I'm actually still casting. There's one part I haven't casted yet...it's one of the leads. We, um, start filming in 2 days. It's kind of a current situation, but, um, I'd love it if you'd read it.",
"Devon: And it's funded by the Boston Film Festival?",
"Dawson: Yeah, look, um, I understand your skepticism but...give it a read. The part of Sammy. My address and phone number are on the front. I'd love to hear what you think.",
"Devon: Be careful, Dawson. Stronger men have been crushed by what I think. *She walks off. Dawson stares after her. Cut to Jen's house. Grams walks in with another boy carrying groceries.*",
"Jen: Ah, Grams! You're a God to me. We're in desperate need of snacks for rehearsal.",
"Grams: Oh, Jennifer! This is Tyson Hicks. He was kind enough to help me with my groceries.",
"Ty: Uh, it's Ty, actually. It's great to meet you.",
"Jen: Nice to meet you, too, Ty.",
"Ty: So your grandmother tells me that you're working on a movie.",
"Jen: Yeah...yeah...we're just gearing up to start.",
"Grams: Jennifer, Tyson has expressed an interest in helping out with the picture. Aren't you a little short-staffed?",
"Jen: Yeah, yeah, um, do you have any experience working on a film set before?",
"Ty: Well, um, no, but I've worked on a bunch of theater productions, and I'm pretty good with my hands and a fast learner.",
"Jen: Yeah, that sounds great. We can use all the help we can get, Ty. Even Grams has been doing craft service so...",
"Ty: Great. Well, you can use me for anything.",
"Jen: Excellent. *Cut to Dawson's room. Pacey and Dawson are moving posters to different locations around his room.*",
"Dawson: So you found a bottle of prescription pills...so what, Pacey? Take a look in my parent's medicine cabinet. It's a veritible pharmacy.",
"Pacey: Yeah but this is zanX, Dawson. Not exactly your typical Saturday night muscle relaxant. It's for severe anxiety. You've never noticed Andie being any more high-strung lately, have you?",
"Dawson: Uh, no, actually I've been too busy watching her bounce off the walls. Pacey, if you're worried why don't you ask her about it?",
"Pacey: Because, man. I don't want to make the situation any worse. She's already under enough stress as it is with her family. The way I figure it, if she wants to open up to me, then she will. But it's also not really in my nature to just sit by while the girl suffers. I mean, I want to help but...",
"Dawson: She's operating under a lot of stress though, Pacey. The only thing that you can really do is make sure the time spent with you is as stress-free as possible. You know, help her have fun.",
"Pacey: Yeah... *Pacey turns to see what Dawson is doing and he's taking the E.T. poster down.*",
"Pacey: Dawson, what are you doing, man? We just put the E.T. poster up. Why are you taking it down?",
"Dawson: Yeah, but there...it's not in the shot. Over here, it'll be in the perfect position.",
"Pacey: You know, I understand that we have budgetary restraints but don't you think telling your life story in your own bedroom is a little perverse? Even for you? *Dawson gives him a look. Cut to Dawson outside, later in the evening setting up a cardboard TV. Devon walks up.*",
"Devon: Hey there!",
"Dawson: Hey! How are ya?",
"Devon: Good. I read your script.",
"Dawson: You did. Great...and what did, what did you think?",
"Devon: I didn't love it.",
"Dawson: *disappointed* Really?",
"Devon: I mean, all the angst and the over-analyzing and the hesitancy to act on...anything. I mean, I really had to search my psyche and call back my adolescence.",
"Dawson: Ah, a few whole years ago.",
"Devon: Dawson, there is a vast difference between us. Anyway, the script's a little heavy-handed and overly rubose.",
"Dawson: What your saying is you're not interested.",
"Devon: What I'm saying, Dawson, is that I managed to muddle through the $20 words and psychospeak and get to the core of the Sammy character.",
"Dawson: I think what I'm saying is I'm not interested. The more and more I think about it...you're not right for the part. You're too...small.",
"Devon: So what you're saying is because I had an opinion of your script, you're not going to let me read for the part? Here's the cold, hard truth, Dawson. If you can't take a little constructive criticism. You're never going to make it. Good luck in high school. I'm sorry I wasted my time. *She starts to walk off*",
"Dawson: Wait a minute! Wait a minute, Devon! I'm sorry. Maybe you're right. Maybe I overreacted. I mean, you came all the way down here, the least you should get to do is audition, right? We can read Scene 5...I think it starts on page--",
"Devon: Actually, I was thinking we could do Scene 15, more towards the middle.",
"Dawson: *kind of taken aback/surprised* Okay...",
"Devon: K, just, uh, give me a minute...",
"Dawson: Sure... *Devon looks over the script and acts like she's really focusing. She then walks over towards Dawson like she's ready.*",
"Dawson: Okay. *in character* Sammy, if you could only see yourself through my eyes.",
"Devon: You know, for the longest time, I thought that was what I wanted. For the boy across the creek, my best friend, to see me as beautiful. *Dawson stares at her studying her acting, obviously pleased.*",
"Devon: (cont.) But this is just...*brings hands to lips* cosmetic enhancement and hairspray. I'm still the same old Samantha. The girl who resides on the wrong side of the creek. And if you look closely, Wade, you'll see. It's just me. *out of character* Is that kind of what you had in mind?",
"Dawson: That was kind of...perfect. *Devon smiles. Cut to the S.S. Icehouse the next day. Jack walks by Joey behind the counter.*",
"Joey: *to Jack* Hey, um, I've got to get out of here early because I promised Dawson that I'd help him with tomorrow's shoot.",
"Jack: *smiles* Okay, um, do you think he'll have us working all day?",
"Joey: Us?",
"Jack: Yeah, yeah...Jen said that they were understaffed and she asked me to help out and Bess said she'd cover my shift so...",
"Joey: Oh. *pauses* And how does Dawson feel about this? *Jack just shrugs and walks off leaving Joey confused. She grabs a tray and heads off to one of the tables where Devon is sitting at.*",
"Joey: Can I get you something to drink? *Devon just stares at her, observing her.*",
"Joey: Um, are you ready to order?",
"Devon: *mocking her* Are you ready to order? *Joey is completely weirded out.*",
"Joey: Is everything okay?",
"Devon: Yeah, um, I'll have a hamburger, fries, and a Diet Coke. *As Joey writes down the order, Devon observes how she writes and starts mimicking her movements.*",
"Joey: Um, okay. I'll be right back with your drink. *Joey pulls a piece of hair to tuck it behind her ear and Devon does the same. Joey is completely perplexed at this by now. She walks back over to the counter by Jack.*",
"Joey: Um, Jack, uh, could you go help that girl out there? She's really weirding me out. *Cut to Devon making some actions with her hand in deep concentration. Jack comes out with her drink.*",
"Jack: Here you go.",
"Devon: Thank you.",
"Jack: You're welcome. *He starts to walk away but she stops him.*",
"Devon: Um, excuse me. Do you know that waitress over there? *She motions to Joey*",
"Jack: Uh, you could say that.",
"Devon: Would you mind telling me everything you know about her? *Jack's face falls, perplexed by Devon's curiosity. Cut to Andie's house in the backyard. Andie is sitting on a porch swing studying when Pacey enters.*",
"Pacey: Hey McPhee!",
"Andie: Hey!",
"Pacey: How's it hangin', girl?",
"Andie: *sighs* I've been reading this paragraph for the last 20 minutes. I can't concentrate. I have a ton of homework.",
"Pacey: Um, listen, I've been wrestling with whether or not to confront you about this. Um, I think I'm going to just get it out in the open. Do you want to talk to me about the pill bottle I saw in your bathroom the other day?",
"Andie: It's my mother's.",
"Pacey: If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine, Andie, but don't lie to me.",
"Andie: I started taking it right after Tim died. It helped to even out my mood swings.",
"Pacey: Why'd you feel like you had to hide it from me?",
"Andie: I don't know. I guess I was afraid of how you'd react but it doesn't matter now, anyway. You know, my doctor's not going to refill my prescription. She said she wants me to try therapy for my stress but thinking about that makes me just more stressed out so...",
"Pacey: Well, maybe therapy isn't such a bad idea. It couldn't hurt.",
"Andie: Look, Pacey. I can take care of myself. Don't look so worried! I'm okay.",
"Pacey: But if you weren't okay, you would tell me right?",
"Andie: Yeah! *Cut to Dawson at rehearsal with Devon, Chris, and Jen.*",
"Dawson: Okay the scene will open up with a you two on the bed. Sammy you will be on the left and Wade, you will be on the right. Whatever's comfortable. It's really casual. *to Jen* Hey! Um, how are ya? Abby's late again so I want you to read the part of Kim. Enter from the door here.",
"Jen: Um...yeah...okay...yeah...what page are you guys starting from?",
"Dawson: 17. K, are you guys ready? And action. *Everyone is in their roles. Jen (aka Kim) walks in.*",
"Jen: Hey guys!",
"Chris (aka Wade): Hey!",
"Devon (aka Sammy): I thought it was video night.",
"Chris (aka Wade): Well, it is. Kim doesn't really know anyone in Creekside so I just invited her to join us.",
"Devon (aka Sammy): Isn't watching movies a little, oh, mundane for someone from the big city?",
"Jen (aka Kim): Listen...if I'm intruding...",
"Chris (aka Wade): *gets up and puts arm around Jen* No, no, not at all. The more the merrier.",
"Dawson: No. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Go backwards. Chris the way you're saying it now it sounds like you're trying to get them into a menage a trois. I mean, you're interested in Kim, but Sammy's just your friend. I mean, she's your best friend but just your friend. I mean, the choices are subtle but they're very specific.",
"Chris: But Dawson, it's obvious that Sammy's into me. Am I just supposed to ignore that?",
"Dawson: Yeah. I mean, no, actually. You're not ignoring it. You're just not aware of it yet. *Chris still seems confused.*",
"Jen: Um, Dawson! Come here for a second. *They go over to the side.*",
"Dawson: *sighs* I know I casted a jock but he's got the inside of a warthog.",
"Jen: I know, okay, maybe you should let up a little. *Dawson spots Joey, who's been watching this whole time.*",
"Dawson: Joey! *Devon gets up and walks towards her, too.*",
"Dawson: Joey, come here. There's someone I want you to meet. Devon, this is Joey. Joey, Devon.",
"Joey: Yeah...you came into the Icehouse yesterday.",
"Devon: Yeah. Now you know why I was acting so peculiar. I was studying you. It's just, Dawson told me the character was based off you...",
"Dawson: You recognize Devon from art class?",
"Joey: Oh, yeah. The clothes threw me at first but you know...",
"Dawson: Um, I've got to talk to Chris for a bit, but you two can talk, get to know each other and you can study her manners. *Dawson walks off towards Chris.*",
"Devon: So anyways, I was going for a new method approach to Sammy and I was wondering if you had any character insights for me. I have a couple dozen questions I want to ask you.",
"Joey: A few dozen?",
"Devon: Well, I think that Sammy and Wade are soulmates who will be forever connected by an overpowering, transcendent love...what do you think? *Joey just stands there staring at her awkwardly, speechless.*",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"*Cut to Devon and Chris, in character doing a scene through the perspective of a camera lens.*",
"Devon (aka Sammy): Stop! *Chris stops briefly*",
"Dawson: (from off-camera) Don't stop! Keep going! *Chris starts walking again.*",
"Devon: (aka Sammy): Why are you running away from me?",
"Chris (aka Wade): Because for the first time in 15 years you are the last person I want to see.",
"Dawson: Hold on. I've got to move it-- *Dawson crashes into a camera. Jack was pushing him.*",
"Jack: Sorry! I'm sorry, Dawson!",
"Dawson: *sighs* Okay, um, *to Devon and Chris* you guys can take five.",
"Jen: Dawson, we should really try and get the first shot off before we start taking breaks, okay? *Jen walks away by Ty.*",
"Jen: Ty, is there a problem?",
"Ty: Jen, I would like to say that this accident could have been avoided but with you standing nearby, I lose all ability to concentrate on the job at hand.",
"Jen: Down boy. *Cut to Jack and Joey.*",
"Jack: Joey, I want to ask you...this whole thing really bothers you, doesn't it? I mean, life layed out for the whole world to see.",
"Joey: Please, it's a movie. Why should it bother me?",
"Jack: 'Cause it's about you. If I was trying to get over somebody, and get on with my life, the last thing that I would do is make a movie about it. Somebody needs to tell Oliver Stone over there that this whole war is over.",
"Joey: Look, Dawson is clearly over me. I promise.",
"Jack: Well, where's your evidence because I have proof to the contrary.",
"Joey: Don't think so much, Jack. I mean, everything is going to be fine. Don't worry about it...it's just *makes faces like it's no big deal.*",
"Jack: You're right. Just as long as you're over him, nothing else matters. Dawson can do whatever he wants. *Jack leans in and they kiss and then hug and we see Joey's face which is doubtful of her being over Dawson. Cut to a montage of shots making the film ranging from Jack's earphones being way too loud to Devon mimicking Joey's every move. Joey and Jack kiss another time during it, too. Cut to Jen and Ty inside the school.*",
"Ty: Hey!",
"Jen: Hey! Being a good boy?",
"Ty: Always.",
"Jen: I'm disappointed. *holding neck* Ah, I've got the worst cramp.",
"Ty: Here. Let me help ya. *He starts massaging her neck.*",
"Jen: Feels like you've got some experience at this.",
"Ty: And being manipulated into a neck rub, yeah!",
"Jen: Maybe I can also manipulate you into...coming out with me tonight. I think after this scene I'm really going to need to loosen up.",
"Ty: I think that could be arranged. One stipulation. You've got to put yourself in my hands.",
"Jen: Well, they are good hands. *She smiles and she walks off. Cut to Dawson, Devon, and Chris walking out of school talking about the film.*",
"Chris: All I'm saying, Dawson, is that I don't think my character would play it hurt.",
"Devon: And I don't know where my anger is coming from. I'm confused.",
"Dawson: Okay, I think that's enough for today.",
"Chris: See I think he should try and play it cool. Save some self-dignity and not throw all his emotions out of swing.",
"Devon: And I don't think I'd blow a gasket over this.",
"Dawson: Okay...Chris, not everyone is as cool as you, okay? When Wade finds out his girlfriend kissed another guy, he's...crushed. The last thing he's thinking about is reserving a little self-dignity. And Devon, you're an angry girl. That's part of the essence of who you are. And right now, you're frustrated that Wade can't see that you've moved beyond him.",
"Chris: Dawson, I can't relate. I've never been there.",
"Dawson: Okay, um... *Dawson spots Joey talking to some people across the yard. Through his next dialogue, clips of Joey talking, muted, in slower motion, are shown.*",
"Dawson: It's agony. Complete, excruciating agony like your heart has been ripped out of your chest and stomped on. You can't breathe. You don't want to eat. You can't function. It's the most intense pain that you'll ever feel and the worst thing is there's no way to relieve it. It's unyielding, merciless torture and you know that....it's yours for life. And Devon, you feel completely misunderstood. You feel like this guy who you've known all your life can't see the hope and potential of what you can become and you're, you're petrified. You're confused. You're afraid to stay with him. You're afraid to stay without him. You feel so alone. *He stops and he looks back at Joey. Devon notices he's looking. Cut to Joey inside the school laying out sheets of people with photographs attached. Devon walks in.*",
"Devon: Sammy, I was wondering if I could speak with you for a moment.",
"Joey: It's...Joey.",
"Devon: Right! Um, I'm having a problem with this scene. I don't really get where my anger comes from. I, personally, am not angry by nature and I was just wondering if you could show me how you do it.",
"Joey: Do what?",
"Devon: Be angry.",
"Joey: Oh, you see, I'm not actually angry by nature, that would be the fictional part of this autobiographical tale.",
"Devon: Right....so tell me, how do you date one guy when you're in love with another?",
"Joey: Look. I know what you're trying to do. Don't go there.",
"Devon: Please. I see you lip-locked with that puppy dog but yet clearly your heart is still with Dawson.What is this guy, Jack? Your safety net?",
"Joey: Oooh. You're good. But I'm not that easily manipulated. *Jack walks in and sees them.*",
"Jack: Is everything okay?",
"Devon: Tell me, Jack, what's it like being the transition guy?",
"Joey: Would you stop it?!",
"Devon: You know it must be really hard to open your heart to a girl who's heart is reserved for someone else...",
"Joey: Look you annoying little third-rate wannabe, why don't you take your irritating self and pray on someone who doesn't see through your pathetic attempt to masquerade bitchiness as research.",
"Devon: Thank you. *She walks off.*",
"Jack: What was that?",
"Joey: She's too short to play me. *Cut to Andie furiously following Devon.*",
"Andie: What do you mean you don't have it? It was in your hair!",
"Devon: Well, now it's not.",
"Andie: Okay, that barrette was a prop, and I'm in charge of all props. I need to get it back.",
"Devon: Well you better go find it.",
"Andie: Oh, like I have any idea where to start looking for some tiny little barrette okay?! It could be anywhere. How could you have been so careless for something that wasn't even yours. Don't you realize that people have jobs to do? Or does the whole world just revolve around Devon?",
"Devon: Get a grip, Prop Girl. *Pacey comes up and pulls Andie away.*",
"Pacey: Okay...",
"Andie: Did you see that?!",
"Pacey: Yeah...",
"Andie: Do you believe her?!",
"Pacey: I'm starting to get a little worried about you, McPhee.",
"Andie: Well, don't be. I'm fine.",
"Pacey: No, you're not fine.",
"Andie: Oh, great! Thanks for the support, Pacey!",
"Pacey: Hey! Just tell me what to do here. 'Cause I'm starting to feel like I'm getting screwed either way.",
"Andie: My dad is in I.A. (?), my mom is barely to losing it, I'm holding on by my fingertips, and you're the one getting screwed! Oh, that's right. It's always got to be about Pacey!",
"Pacey: Don't make me the bad guy, Andie. I'll be your shoulder to cry on, I'll even be your punching bag, but I'm not the bad guy.",
"Andie: Pacey, I keep adding things to my list instead of substracting. With school, my mother, Jack, you, something's got to give and the way I see it, there's only one thing expendable on that list.",
"Pacey: C'mon, Andie. You're not in the right place to make that decision now. I just...you're not thinking straight, okay?",
"Andie: Yes I am. For the first time, I'm seeing everything crystal. It's you, Pacey, you're the one that's got to give. We need to cool it because us, that's the problem.",
"Pacey: Andie, you don't mean that.",
"Andie: Yes, I do! And if you really care about me and you really want to help me then you would just back off and leave me alone! *Andie storms off leaving a saddened Pacey behind. Cut to Dawson shooting a scene with Chris and Devon. Joey's watching angrily in the background.*",
"Dawson: And...action!",
"Devon (aka Sammy): At least let me explain.",
"Chris (aka Wade): What purpose could that possibly serve? You kissed another guy. In my mind, there's absolutely, unequivically nothing left to say! Ever.",
"Devon (aka Sammy): You don't even want to know why, do you? You don't even listen to me!",
"Chris (aka Wade): What justifiable reason is there that the girl who spent her entire life pretending that I was the only thing that mattered...threw it all away for a 30 second cheap thrill.",
"Dawson: And...cut! That was incredible! That was great!",
"Jen: Alright, great, you guys! Great shot! Let's get movin on and set up the next one before we lose the light, alright?",
"Dawson: *to Chris and Devon* Wow... *Joey storms up angrily*",
"Joey: Dawson! *Dawson turns around.*",
"Dawson: Wasn't that scene incredible?",
"Joey: Yeah! *grabs him by the arm* We need to talk! *Cut to Joey leading Dawson into a classroom.*",
"Joey: Dawson, why do you insist on reliving in excruciating detail one of the most painful experiences of our lives? Is this your peversely, self-defeating way of moving on or are you just trying to punish me?",
"Dawson: *confused* Neither.",
"Joey: How can you be so okay with this, Dawson? I mean, didn't we mean anything to each other? Isn't anything sacred with you? I mean, I know that you've gotten over us and everything that we went through but has it ever occurred to you that maybe I haven't? I mean, it takes time and I'm happy that you are and I'm glad that you've found it so easy to move on but, you know, this movie is self-indulgent and unfair!",
"Dawson: Wait a minute, wait a minute! Let's take a little refresher course, Joey! You broke up with me, okay? You have a new boyfriend. You found your art passion. You have a whole new life! And what do I have?",
"Joey: A self-obsessed movie!",
"Dawson: Well, forgive me for not letting go of the one thing that I've got left!",
"Joey: Well, that's not healthy, Dawson!",
"Dawson: I'm not going to sit here and listen to you bitch at me about what I've done, Joey! You left me! You dumped me! I haven't moved on! Okay? I haven't let go! And that's why I'm clinging for dear life to the one thing that's keeping me going! *Dawson storms out and slams the door to the classroom. Cut to Grams inside the school wrapping things up. Jen walks in.*",
"Jen: *talking to an extra* Thanks for a good day. Um, tomorrow call time's 8:30. *She walks over to Grams*",
"Jen: Hey! Need some help, Grams?",
"Grams: You know, Jennifer. I watched you today and you know what I saw?",
"Jen: Why do I feel a lecture coming on here?",
"Grams: I saw all these young people working together as a team for a common goal and I was so impressed. Then I realized who was in charge of everyone and I was so proud. I found myself watching a beautiful, accomplished, young woman who just happened to be my granddaughter.",
"Jen: Well, I hope I had everybody else fooled because I was definitely flying by the seat of my pants.",
"Grams: *laughs* A woman movie producer. In my day, women didn't have many options. You got married, raised a family, but now, what a wonderful time to be a woman. You can do or be anything you want and without a man by your side.",
"Jen: Couldn't resist that one, huh? *Ty walks up.*",
"Ty: We just wrapped the last shot so I'm ready to go whenever you are.",
"Jen: Just give me a second, k?",
"Ty: K.",
"Jen: *to Grams* Okay, go ahead. I know that you're dying to get it off your chest.",
"Grams: Have a nice time, dear, you deserve it.",
"Jen: Thanks, Grams. *Jen walks away.*",
"Grams: Just don't stay out too late!",
"Jen: I know... *Cut to Dawson walking down the hall by Pacey sitting on his knees leaning against the lockers.*",
"Dawson: Hey Pacey! Pacey, you look terrible.",
"Pacey: Well, I should. I mean, I really kind of screwed it up with Andie. Pushed too hard.",
"Dawson: What happened?",
"Pacey: Um, well, she told me I'm the element in her life that she can do without.",
"Dawson: Did she mean it?",
"Pacey: Yep...she meant it..",
"Dawson: Then, let her go.",
"Pacey: What?",
"Dawson: I think you should let her go. I really do. I mean, don't just pay lip service. Just let her go.",
"Pacey: Like what you're doing with Joey?",
"Dawson: Like what I'm trying to do with Joey. I mean, I've been fooling myself, Pacey, but I think I'm going to do it. That's the only way to get someone back to you.",
"Pacey: You know, Dawson, as text-book healthy as the letting go theory sounds, and, you know, it may work out for ya, it doesn't apply to me. I mean, this isn't just a case of teen romance gone sour. I know what I want. I want Andie. And she's hurting right now and whether she knows it or not...she needs me. I have absolutely no intention of letting her go. *Pacey turns and walks down the hall. Cut to Jen and Ty walking down a sidewalk.*",
"Jen: I'm kind of hungry. I was hoping maybe we could grab a bite to eat.",
"Ty: Well, they'll have stuff to munch on here. It's my friend Lloyd's place. He's having a get together and I told him I'd stop by.",
"Jen: A party? Why didn't you say so? I'm always up for a good party.",
"Ty: Cool! *They go into the house and there's just a few people standing around drinking out of plastic cups.*",
"Ty: Hey guys!",
"Lloyd: Hey everybody! Ty's here. We can get started. Hey I brought a friend with me. Jen this is everyone, everything this is Jen.",
"Jen: Hi...everyone. *Everyone who's there comes into the living room to join up.*",
"Lloyd: Okay, last time we stopped on the First Book of the Kings. *The camera pans the room where everyone is pulling out their bibles. Jen looks surprised/confused/disappointed.*",
"Lloyd: Why don't we pick it up from Chapter 9: Gods Promise and Warning. *Ty smiles at Jen as she nervously smiles back.*",
"Lloyd: If you turn from following me, you or your children, or my commandments and statues that I have set before you... *Cut to the doorbell rings at the McPhee's. Andie runs down the stairs in her bathrobe.*",
"Andie: I'm coming! *She opens the door to find Pacey holding a rose.*",
"Andie: Go away, Pacey. *She shuts the door in his face. He starts knocking on the door.*",
"Andie: I'M IGNORING YOU! *Cut to outside. Pacey is disappointed. He spots something, though. He walks around to the side of the house. Cut to Andie in her room. She hears something outside and opens her window and Pacey is climbing the (I forget what they're called) to her window.*",
"Andie: Are you nuts?! What are you doing?!",
"Pacey: Is this thing (missed words 'cause Pacey had the rose in his mouth)? *Pacey slips a little.*",
"Andie: Oh my God, be careful! *holds up rose*",
"Pacey: For the lady.",
"Andie: I don't believe you. Is this your way of staying away from me?",
"Pacey: Oh, yeah, about that. I've decided not to. You see you need me, McPhee. I mean, come on, who else is going to put up with you?",
"Andie: You know it's just one shove and it's a long way down, Pacey.",
"Pacey: I'd just have to climb right back up.",
"Andie: Okay, you know what? You're acting like a psycho and the last thing I need in my life, right now, is another crazy person. Go home, Pacey. *She tries to shut the window but Pacey grabs it.*",
"Pacey: No. I'm not going to let you push me away, McPhee. You know, I think I forgot to mention that I'm actually a charter member of the Andie McPhee Fan Club and as a matter of policy, our right to ration(?) never waivers. Through the good times or the bad.",
"Andie: I just...want to feel better, Pacey.",
"Pacey: I know, Andie, I know and I can help. I know I can. And I'm not going to turn away from you, Andie. After all, you've done for me. And certainly not when you need me the most. We can do this together and I know that I can help you.",
"Andie: Pacey, how do you know you can help me?",
"Pacey: Because, Andie, I love you.",
"Andie: I love you, too. *They lean in and kiss. Cut to Dawson still at school while everything's wrapping up. Chris and Devon walk up.*",
"Chris: Hey Dawson, we're, uh, going to grab a bite to eat. Want to join us?",
"Dawson: Um, nah, actually. I've got some work to do...thank you.",
"Devon: Sure?",
"Dawson: Yeah...yeah...",
"Chris: Okay, see you later, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Hey! Good work.",
"Chris: Thanks.",
"Devon: You know you impressed me today.",
"Dawson: I did?",
"Devon: Yeah, you know, it's interesting that you put such effort into making this script almost precisely match reality and yet you change the ending. You know my psyche profesor would say--",
"Dawson: Let me guess, he would say that I should put away all hopes of the past and focus on the future.",
"Devon: Very good. Look I just wanted to say that I think you show real potential in being a director.",
"Dawson: Thank you. I appreciate that.",
"Devon: Are you sure you don't want to grab a bite to eat or something?",
"Dawson: I'll definitely take you up on that some other time but right now...I just want to be here.",
"Devon: Okay. Have a good night. *She walks off with Chris. Joey walks towards Dawson.*",
"Joey: Hey...",
"Dawson: Joey! I assumed you'd probably taken off...",
"Joey: I, um...",
"Dawson: About earlier...",
"Joey: Yeah...Dawson, I'm sorry I came down so hard on you this afternoon. It...it was unfair and it's just been kind of hard...watching my life be reenacted in front of half of Capeside.",
"Dawson: Joey, if I offended you or hurt you in anyway, I'm sorry. I just thought that if I made this autobiographical, cathartic movie then I could put the past behind me in one fowl swoop, you know? Turns out it doesn't work that way.",
"Joey: Yeah, if only things could be that simple, right?",
"Dawson: You know what it is, Joey? I've spent the last few months of my existance trying to figure out how to be without you. I mean, I tried acting like it doesn't hurt, pretending I don't care, I guess I felt like if I acted like I was over you....I guess I would be. And, truth is, most of the time all I want to do is crawl into my room with my best friend, shut the blinds and just pour my heart out to her.",
"Joey: Dawson, um, I don't think you realize that it has been just as difficult for me. I mean, it's been tearing me apart, too. But I know we'll always be connected. I know that our lives are destined to be intertwined but...",
"Dawson: We have to move on.",
"Joey: Yeah...",
"Dawson: Little bit today...little more tomorrow... *Jack walks up behind them.*",
"Jack: Joey...you, uh, you ready?",
"Joey: Yeah...uh...",
"Dawson: Jack! Thanks for helping me out today. I really appreciate it.",
"Jack: No problem. It was fun, actually.",
"Dawson: Good.",
"Jack: Do you want us to hang out for a little bit? Help you clean up this stuff?",
"Dawson: No, no! You guys go out and have fun. You've given me enough of a good day.",
"Joey: Are you sure?",
"Dawson: Yes, absolutely! Go! Get out of here!",
"Joey: 'K...um, goodnight.",
"Dawson: Goodnight. *Jack and Joey walk off and Dawson stares after them as the last light outside is shut off and he walks towards the school building. Fade to end credits.*"

"In a compelling two-part episode, the Capeside High School gossip mill kicks into overdrive after Jack bears his soul in an English assignment and is forced to expose his innermost secrets while reading his poem aloud in class. The poem alludes to feelings that Jack may have towards another boy. Dawson, Joey, and Andie are shaken by the implications of what it all means. Meanwhile, Pacey tries to defend Jack in the face of an adversarial teacher and Jen finds her latest suitor, Tyson \"Ty\" Hicks, is full of surprises. Jack later tells Joey that the poem meant nothing sexual and that it may have been about his deceased brother."

"Dawson: Congratulations, Jack.",
"Jack: Thanks. I'm not completely done. I still have this whole back section to paint.",
"Dawson: I-I-I'm....truly impressed. And grateful.",
"Jack: It's...a little unclear, though, as to why you want this. You're not going to like, blow it up or anything, are ya?",
"Dawson: No...um, there's no asteroid in my movie. It's for aerial shots. Establishing scenes....you get the right lense...the right light...perfect point of the Creekside village.",
"Pacey: It's amazing what a little camera trickery can do. Well, if you guys will excuse me, I have a ton of homework to do including Peterson's assignment which I haven't even started yet.",
"Jack: *sighs* Yeah, I haven't either.",
"Dawson: Pacey Witter is leaving early to do homework...a slightly less believable and inquiring light.",
"Pacey: Yeah, yeah, it's a disgusting habit.",

"Jack: No, I can stay.",
"Dawson: Well, I'm just going to do a test-shot...",
"Jack: No, it's okay, I'd like to see it. It's alright.",
"Dawson: Okay. Cool.",
"Pacey: Well....ta-ta, gents. Don't stay up too late. It is a school night. *Pacey leaves. Dawson laughs.*",
"Dawson: Speaking as his closest friend, your sister has had quite a profound relationship on him.",
"Jack: Yeah, well, relationships will do that. *Dawson's face drops and he moves to get his camera. Jack realizes how it sounded.*",
"Jack: Sorry. I didn't mean that the way it came out.",
"Dawson: Look, Jack, this hasn't exactly been the easiest of situations for either of us. But your help in this film has been so significant. I just...",
"Jack: So we're cool?",
"Dawson: Yeah. So what's this Peterson stuff about?",
"Jack: Oh, a poem. He wants us to write something that's critical to our being, whatever. It's just another assignment I'm going to screw up.",
"Dawson: It's a poem. It can't be that hard.",
"Jack: You know, I read your script. You're the expert writer here. Any advice on how to get to the good stuff?",
"Dawson: Listen to yourself, you know? I mean poetry is a chance to give the world a peek of the innermost private part of yourself that you'd, in other cases, just stifle.",
"Jack: So just listen to myself?",
"Dawson: Yeah, I mean...you never know what you'll hear. Will you do me a favor and hit the lights?",
"Jack: Oh, yeah. *The lights go off as Dawson adjusts the camera to focus in on a replica of the exterior of his house.*",
"Dawson: And there it is. The perfect Creekside village. *The fake house fades into Dawson's real house and then we get a shot of the real creek.* *Cut to Capeside High exterior. Pacey is waiting on the campus and he spots his counselor approaching.*",
"Pacey: Mr. Milo! Now, before you say anything, I want you to know that I have the situation under complete control.",
"Mr.Milo: And what situation is that?",
"Pacey: Well, whatever academic improprieties you were about to make me aware of.",
"Mr.Milo: Improprieties is the wrong word. Try kudos. *Pacey looks confused*",
"Mr.Milo(cont.): I just received the midterm reports for all the students on academic watch. And after removing my jaw from the floor, I came to you. You posted 3 \"B\"'s and 2 \"A\"'s.",
"Pacey: That's impossible.",
"Mr.Milo: Well, one would think so. *Pacey looks up and Mr. Milo smiles.*",
"Pacey: You know, I don't think I've ever seen you smile before, Mr. Milo. I'm liking this. The smiling thing I definitely like.",
"Mr.Milo: Well, you just keep up the good work, Mr. Witter! *They enter the school and we cut to inside as Pacey happily heads towards Andie who is standing by Jack and Joey. Pacey picks Andie up and swings her around in the air and she screams. He sets her down and they kiss. Jack and Joey stare at them and laugh.*",
"Andie: Mm...what was that for?",
"Pacey: Just 'cause. *Jack puts his arm around Joey and leans in.*",
"Joey: Don't even.",
"Jack: What? We can't kiss 'just cause'?",
"Joey: Sure, we can. In private. Massive suckface embraces are better left for bedrooms and private sunsets. *to Pacey and Andie* No offense.",
"Pacey and Andie: (simultaneously) None taken! *Dawson walks up.*",
"Dawson: Hey Jack! I was just wondering when do you think you can get started on the set for the pageant scene?",
"Jack: Um, this weekend if you want.",
"Dawson: Great! I'll schedule the shoot for the weekend after. *Jack nods and Dawson walks off to his locker. The bell rings.*",
"Pacey: Well, I hate to be the stickler but we are late for an hour of health.",
"Jack: Yeah, you got your poem Stickler?",
"Pacey: Of course! *Andie and Pacey continue off down the hall.*",
"Jack: Well, see ya! I gotta go to class. Bye. *They kiss*",
"Joey: Bye. *She turns and walks toward Dawson at his locker, smiling.*",
"Joey: So....that was nice.",
"Dawson: What was nice?",
"Joey: You and Jack actually conversing! It was a surprise.",
"Dawson: Well, some people are capable of moving beyond those petty, long-behind rivalries to higher ground. *Joey laughs*",
"Joey: Yeah, right! If Jack wasn't doing your movie, Dawson, he'd still be the enemy.",
"Dawson: Not true! *Joey pushes him, jokingly.*",
"Joey: You are so Hollywood! *He pushes her back, jokingly.*",
"Dawson: Am not! *Cut to outside, Jen is sitting at a table and Ty comes up.*",
"Ty: Across the green...he spots her, stealthfully the lion crosses the green and settles beside his prey, the helpless llama.",
"Jen: *not enthusiastic.* Hey Ty.",
"Ty: Well, as far as I know, there's been three phone messages to you in this last week. Adorable phone messages with my number included. I was wondering why you haven't returned any of them.",
"Jen: You're on my 'To Call' list, Ty. I just am trying to get around.",
"Ty: Well, not to toot my own horn or anything, but I could swear you were into me that night.",
"Jen: Not to toot your own horn or anything.",
"Ty: It was the party, wasn't it? All that Bible-speak freaked you out.",
"Jen: Honestly...yeah. It did.",
"Ty: Jen, that's not all that I am, alright? For your information, I'm not some Bible-banging Dorkus-Magworkus here. *Jen laughs.*",
"Jen: I'm not saying that you are, Ty. It's just...obviously, your religion is very important to you. *Ty nods.*",
"Jen: I just see it as an inevitable obstacle in our relationship.",
"Ty: Don't you think we should go out on our first date before you map out our entire future?",
"Jen: Ty...you're sweet. And you're funny. But you go to these Bible meetings three times a week and that's probably how many times I've been to church in the past 10 years so...hopefully you can understand why that would present a problem with us being anything more than just friends. *She gets up.*",
"Ty: See, that just goes to show how little you know me. See...I'm not funny at all. You know, I'm not giving up.",
"Jen: Now, that's a shame.",
"Ty: You know, I thought most women admired persistence.",
"Jen: Well, that just goes to show how little you know about me. I'm not most women. *She walks off leaving Ty behind. Cut to Mr. Peterson picking up poems. He comes to Pacey who's flipping desperately through his notebooks looking for his.*",
"Mr.Peterson: Mr. Witter, empty-handed, I presume?",
"Pacey: No, no, I had it at my locker. I must have...*finds it* left it right here in my binder! *He hands it to Mr. Peterson*",
"Mr.Peterson: 'Ode to the Sports Car'?",
"Pacey: Yeah, trust me, they're more exciting than Grecian arts.",
"Mr.Peterson: Trying out cursive for the first time?",
"Pacey: *sighs* I worked hard on that.",
"Mr.Peterson: I'm sure. However, you neglected penmanship and presentation is minus half the grade. So the way I see it, you have two choices. You can hand the poem in tomorrow, written legibly and lose credit for handing it in late, or you can hand it in as it is, and the highest grade you'll see will be your old friend the letter \"D\".",
"Pacey: That's not fair.",
"Mr.Peterson: Fairness is overrated.",
"Pacey: *to Jack* Is it just me or does that man get meaner everyday?",
"Jack: It's not you.",
"Mr.Peterson: Excuse me, Mr. McPhee?",
"Jack: Uh, nothing...",
"Mr.Peterson: I hope that your poetry assignment went well, Mr. McPhee. We're all very aware of how critical it is to your deficient grade in this class. *Jack just nods.*",
"Jack: Sure, yeah...it went fine.",
"Mr.Peterson: Then, perhaps you would like to read your poem to the class.",
"Jack: *nervously* Um, you said these poems were just for you.",
"Mr.Peterson: I changed my mind. These things happen. Please, read us your poem.",
"Jack: Um...I'd really rather not...",
"Mr.Peterson: Mr.McPhee, what you would rather do is of no importance to me.",
"Jack: I-um, if it's okay with you, can I just hand it in?",
"Mr.Peterson: Read the poem.",
"Jack: Please. I don't--",
"Mr.Peterson: We're waiting.",
"Jack: *very nervously takes his paper and stands up* Um...*sighs* Today Today was a day the world got smaller. Darker. Even more afraid. Not of what I am... *Jack looks up, fearfully.*",
"Mr.Peterson: Continue...",
"Jack: (cont.) I grew more afraid. Not of what I am, But what I could be. I loosen my collar to take a breath. My eyes fade and I see... I see him. An angel of perfection, His frame strong. His lips smooth. I keep thinking what am I so scared of? And I wish I could escape the pain but these thoughts, They invade my head, Like shackles of guilt. They upleash at me. *He's started to cry...*",
"Jack: Excuse me. *He rushes out of the room. Pacey gets up to follow.*",
"Mr.Peterson: What are you doing?",
"Pacey: I'm going to see if he's alright.",
"Mr.Peterson: You'll do nothing of the kind. Sit down.",
"Pacey: But he was crying!",
"Mr.Peterson: I said SIT DOWN! *Pacey slowly walks back to his seat.*",
"Mr.Peterson: Okay, everyone, open your books to pg.57. *Pacey just sits there and gives him a deadly stare. Cut to Pacey and Dawson, in the computer lab. Dawson leans over to try to see Joey's screen.*",
"Joey: What are you doing?",
"Dawson: *smiles* Nothing.",
"Joey: What?",
"Dawson: Just trying to get a peek at your secret online handle. What is it? PCJoey? PerkyPotter?",
"Joey: What's yours? SpielbergStud?",
"Dawson: No. *The camera pans to a group of boys at another set of computers right behind Joey and Dawson.*",
"Boy#1: And he started to cry...",
"Boy#2: No way.",
"Boy#1: I heard it from, like, half the class. He's reading this poem and he was just crying...",
"Boy#3: Wait a minute...who is this?",
"Boy#2: Jack McPhee, the new kid. *Cut to Joey's face when she hears his name and she's listening to the conversation.*",
"Boy#2 (offscreen): Peterson makes him read his poem in class. He starts crying. *The camera zooms out to show Dawson's reaction, too. He's listening intently, confused. Joey looks confused, also.*",
"Boy#2 (offscreen, cont.): Here's the best part. The poem was about a guy. McPhee's a total homo.",
"Boy#1: Total. I mean, look at him. *Close up on Joey's confused reaction. Cut to Bessie and Joey helping a table.*",
"Bessie: *to customers* Thank you! *Dawson walks in*",
"Bessie: Hi Dawson!",
"Dawson: Hey. *He goes up to Joey.*",
"Dawson: Joey, hey, you got a second?",
"Joey: Sure.",
"Dawson: Um, have you talked to Jack yet?",
"Joey: No, we haven't really talked about it yet. He's still kind of upset about it...",
"Dawson: I can imagine. The rumor mill is going into overdrive on this one. I've heard about it twice more.",
"Joey: You think that's bad? I've heard everything from Jack is seen regularly wearing dresses down Main Street to he's checked into a monastery to deal with his sexual ambibilance.",
"Dawson: You're pretty flip about this.",
"Joey: What? It's all just a big joke?",
"Dawson: Is it?",
"Joey: What are you insinuating?",
"Dawson: I'm not insinuating anything. I'm just...I'm concerned about you.",
"Joey: What are you trying to do, Dawson? Give validity to some ridiculous rumor that Jack's gay?",
"Dawson: No, Joey, I never said that!",
"Joey: You pretty much did.",
"Dawson: Look, Joey, all I'm trying to do is find out what's going on and I hope that you would know me well enough to know that my concern is genuine, okay? There's no need to be so defensive about this.",
"Joey: Oh, I'm not being defensive, Dawson. Why don't we just say what this conversation is really about? Your passive-aggressive way to highlight some flaw in Jack that would get us to break up!",
"Dawson: That's way over the line.",
"Joey: No, from where I'm standing, I think it's perfectly in balance. *Cut to the McPhee house. Andie and Pacey are sitting at the table, studying.*",
"Andie: So in 1936, the Stalin constitution was adopted. Communists everywhere boasted that now the Soviet Union was the most democratic country in the world. *Jack comes down the stairs.*",
"Jack: I'm going to go down the the Icehouse and help clean up. I'll see you later.",
"Pacey: Later, Jack! *He leaves.*",
"Pacey: Well, you're a bit frosty.",
"Andie: Pardon me?",
"Pacey: Jack. He's had a long day and you've hardly said two words to him this whole afternoon.",
"Andie: Well, I don't understand why he had to write that poem in the first place. If he hadn't written something that could be so easily misinterpreted then...",
"Pacey: What? If he'd have censored himself?",
"Andie: Don't twist my words. Look, I know Jack better than you do, Pacey, and ever since we were kids he's had this whole different Drummer thing going on and not everybody gets it. He should have known better than to expose himself to someone as venomous as Peterson, that's all.",
"Pacey: Well, Andie, I may be wrong here, but I don't think that guest-starring in his own public humiliation was Jack's intention. There's something deeper going on there.",
"Andie: Like?",
"Pacey: Like...maybe you should talk to him.",
"Andie: About what?",
"Pacey: Well, for starters, the poem. Maybe it wasn't misinterpreted.",
"Andie: I'm--no. No. Jack is not gay. He's talked about girls his entire life. He's crazy about Joey. He hates Madonna. He's not gay.",
"Pacey: Well, have you ever asked him?",
"Andie: No. I don't need to.",
"Pacey: Well, hypothetically speaking, if he were gay...how would that make you feel?",
"Andie: I guess I'd be disappointed.",
"Pacey: Disappointed. Geez, Andie...",
"Andie: You asked me how I'd feel! Look, I don't need this. I don't need to be criticized for a hypothetical feeling over a hypothetical situation that is completely unfathomable.",
"Pacey: Well, for Jack's sake, I hope you're right. *Cut to Jen's house. The phone rings.*",
"Jen: Hello?",
"Ty: What if I didn't ask you out on a date, persay? Then, you wouldn't have to worry about our breakup due to ideological difficulties and you could still go out with me. And non-Bible related, I promise.",
"Jen: Sorry Jack.",
"Ty: Aw, Jen. Have a little faith in me. Maybe under this Sunday school venire lies a partying maniac.",
"Jen: I doubt it. I'm hanging up. *She does and the phone rings again. She picks up.*",
"Ty: I told you I was persistent.",
"Jen: You know, persistent isn't exactly the word that comes to mind right now.",
"Ty: C'mon, Jen! I'll pick you up at 9.",
"Jen: No! *She hangs up. The phone rings again. She picks up.*",
"Ty: 9:45. Going once, going twice...",
"Jen: You really are persistent.",
"Ty: C'mon Jen! Just a couple of hours.",
"Jen: Be here at 10. *She hangs up. Cut to the Icehouse. Jack is washing off some tables and Joey walks up.*",
"Bessie: Jo! Did you get the cleaning supplies for the kitchen?",
"Joey: Got 'em right here.",
"Bessie: Great!",
"Jack: Here. I'll get 'em. *He takes them and walks off.*",
"Bessie: He's been quiet as a church mouse all night. What happened?",
"Joey: You don't even want to know.",
"Bessie: Poor guy looks like he lost his best friend. Go talk to him.",
"Joey: But he doesn't want to! I mean, how do you talk to somebody about something that they've made perfectly clear they don't want to talk about?",
"Bessie: Well, I always start with 'Long day, huh?'. It opens the conversation up. So, I'm all through here. If you could lock up, that'd be great! See ya!",
"Joey: Okay... *Jack walks in. Joey sighs.*",
"Joey: Long day, huh?",
"Jack: If you want to ask me something, I suggest you just ask it.",
"Joey: I'm sorry, Jack. It's just...people are already saying things.",
"Jack: Since when do you care what other people are saying?",
"Joey: Well, maybe it's because you still haven't offered me any kind of explanation for what you wrote.",
"Jack: I don't have to.",
"Joey: You're right. You don't. It's just that, you know, being the one that you are dating, it'd be nice to know if there was a particular reason you wrote a poem about a guy. It has to have some degree of importance in your life, considering it did make you cry in front of a roomful of people.",
"Jack: Alright, look, I sat down last night, before I went to bed, and for half an hour, I wrote what I was feeling. And one of the images that came into my head was masculine, nothing sexual about it, okay? It could have been me, it could have been the image of my brother. I don't know, Joey. But I do know that there was nothing gay about that poem. And as for the crying...I don't know. It hit a weird nerve as I was reading it. It just unleashed some stuff that I've been dealing with in my family. My brother's death...I don't know. It's the only explanation I can come up with and if it's not good enough for you then you can just believe what everyone else is saying.",
"Joey: Jack...I don't believe what they're saying.",
"Jack: I hope not. Because I adore you, Joey. And I assure you. If was to ever write a love poem....it would be about you. Nobody else. *They hug*",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"*Cut to Jen and Ty walking into a club.*",
"Ty: I think you're really going to like this place.",
"Jen: If I'd of known we were going to a club, I would have brought my fake I.D. *Ty spots a singer.*",
"Ty: Sherry!",
"Sherry: Hey!",
"Ty: Good evening. You singing tonight?",
"Sherry: Yeah, I'm up next. Any requests?",
"Ty: Yeah, um...something romantic. And two martinis.",
"Sherry: You've got it, Ty.",
"Ty: Thanks. Have a seat.",
"Jen: (missed line -- mumbling) Isn't that a little bit against the rules?",
"Ty: Who's rules?",
"Jen: Drinking, this whole Swinger lifestyle...it's not exactly Sunday school clean.",
"Ty: But...right now, we're not in Sunday school. *Cut to the singer...then Jen and Ty dancing...Cut to school the next day. Copies of Jack's poem were copied and pasted all around school. Pacey and Andie are ripping them down.*",
"Pacey: Tonight on a very special episode of Capeside High...it's Jack's poem. This is ridiculous. Can you believe this?",
"Andie: Why? Why would they do this? *Cut to Mr. Peterson's class.*",
"Mr.Peterson: Mr. McPhee?",
"Jack: Yes?",
"Mr.Peterson: Would you care to continue reading your now, very public, work of poetry?",
"Jack: You can't be serious.",
"Mr.Peterson: I am. You left us high and dry. If you want a completed grade, then you have to complete reading the poem. It's very simple.",
"Jack: Why are you doing this to me?",
"Pacey: Because he can. *Pacey stands up and walks towards him*",
"Mr.Peterson: Mr. Witter, I suggest you sit down.",
"Pacey: No.",
"Mr.Peterson: SIT DOWN!",
"Pacey: You want somebody to read the poem. I'll read it. Today Today was a day the world got smaller. Darker. I grew more afraid. Not of what I am but of what I could be.",
"Mr.Peterson: I SAID STOP!!!! *He grabs the paper away from Pacey.*",
"Mr.Peterson: You will listen to me when I talk to you, young man.",
"Pacey: Why should I?",
"Mr.Peterson: Well, that's it. I am writing you a pass and you can report immediately to Principal Markom's(?) office.",
"Pacey: What part of you is it that gets off on torturing students? Everyone in this class may be afraid of you, but I'm not! I see your miserable scare tactics for exactly what they are, the misguided lassions of a bitter, lonely old man who only feels good when somebody in the class feels worse.",
"Mr.Peterson: Thank you for the analysis, Mr. Witter. I'll send a check along with the 'F' you'll get on your report card.",
"Pacey: You can't fail me! I've gotten a 'B' or better on every test we've had in this class.",
"Mr.Peterson: Well, I can. I've been waiting to fail you all quarter.",
"Pacey: You disgust me.",
"Mr.Peterson: And you, Mr. Witter, are a failure. Destined to always be a failure. Trying to teach people like you is like spitting in the face of the entire educational system. *Pacey spits in Mr.Peterson's face.*",
"Pacey: No, sir. That is spitting in the face of the entire educational system. *Pacey walks out of the classroom. Cut to Pacey in the principal's office.*",
"Pacey: I won't apoligize.",
"Principal: Yes, you will, Pacey.",
"Pacey: No I won't.",
"Mr.Peterson: What did I tell you? The child's an insubordinate little waste.",
"Mr.Milo: Hey, you're hardly innocent either.",
"Mr.Peterson: And what does that mean?",
"Mr.Milo: You made a student cry and another student had an excessive reaction.",
"Mr.Peterson: You call a student spitting in a teacher's face excessive? That's the understatement of the year.",
"Principal: I suggest we reconvene tomorrow. Mr. Witter, hopefully, by that time you will have been capable of conguring up an apoligy and if not, I will have no choice but to give you a suspension. *Pacey walks out and Jack is sitting on a bench.*",
"Pacey: Hey Jack. Listen, man, you didn't have to come down here. I appreciate it but...",
"Jack: I did. Mr. Milo wants to talk to me. I can't imagine what about.",
"Pacey: Yeah, they told me they wanted me to apoligize. I told them to go screw themselves.",
"Jack: That was stupid.",
"Pacey: Who's side are you on here anyway?",
"Jack: My own. I can fight my own battles. You know, I didn't need you to make a spectacle out of this whole thing.",
"Pacey: Wo, wo, wo. Stop right there, Jack. I thought I was doing you a favor in there.",
"Jack: Well, you weren't. Look, I didn't need a hero. I recognize it's an addiction of yours but this is one instance when you just should have kept your nose out of it! *Cut to Jen and Ty outside.*",
"Ty: Well, they weren't selling roses. Cupcake? *Jen takes it.*",
"Jen: Thank you.",
"Ty: So, full report. Tell me, was I not fun last night? *Jen starts laughing.*",
"Ty: What's so funny?",
"Jen: You. This...",
"Ty: What?",
"Jen: Alternate identities.",
"Ty: You mean, student by day, ratpacker by night?",
"Jen: Some people would call it the height of hypocracy.",
"Ty: Well, it's not hypocritical at all. To me, it's something you go to church about on Sunday. Listen, my religion doesn't assume that I'm a perfect individual, Jen. In fact, it expects that I'm not.",
"Jen: Ah, I see. So it's a party now, confess later sort of thing?",
"Ty: You wanna do it again? C'mon. Your Grams likes me.",
"Jen: She likes what she knows about you which apparently isn't all that much.",
"Ty: And you plan on keeping it that way.",
"Jen: There's a thought. *Cut to Andie, Pacey, and Dawson walking down the hallway.*",
"Andie: So what are you going to do?",
"Pacey: What do you mean?",
"Andie: Well, about Peterson. You're going to apoligize, right?",
"Pacey: No, I'm going to take the suspension.",
"Andie: What?",
"Pacey: After what that man did? I'm not going to apoligize to him, he doesn't deserve it.",
"Andie: It doesn't matter what he did, Pacey. You spit in his face.",
"Pacey: I was there. Thank you.",
"Andie: Dawson? *Dawson just keeps walking with them, silently. Pacey stops in amazement at them.*",
"Pacey: You too, huh?",
"Dawson: Pacey, this is serious.",
"Pacey: You think I don't know that?",
"Dawson: All we're saying is be aware of the consequences.",
"Pacey: I am aware of the consequences, alright? *Cut to Jack coming out of the office where Joey's waiting for him.*",
"Jack: These are pamphlets Milo coincidentally just happened to have on his desk. Ever feel like you're trapped in one of those Lifetime movies?",
"Joey: 'Gay and okay', 'What's my sexuality?', 'Am I gay?' God, this sounds like a bad game show. *Cut back to Pacey, Andie, and Dawson walking down the hall.*",
"Andie: What about your gradepoint? You still care about that, don't you? It's not going to survive a suspension, Pacey. It will destroy all the hard work you've done and you'll be right back at square one.",
"Pacey: An academic loser.",
"Andie: That's not what I said.",
"Pacey: But it's what you felt. Andie, everything that I've worked for, everything that you've helped me to become, is somebody who believes in himself and his instincts and every instinct in me tells me that what that man did in that classroom was wrong.",
"Andie: But--",
"Pacey: It's just wrong! *Andie gives up and turns around and she sees something and her face drops. The camera zooms out to Pacey's face which is very angry.*",
"Andie: Oh my God. *Cut to Jack and Joey.*",
"Jack: I'm going to need your help with this, Joey. I have a feeling it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.",
"Joey: I'm here.",
"Jack: Thanks. *Jack and Joey look down the hall and both their faces drop. We cut to what they're looking at. On Jack's locker, some kids have spraypainted \"FAG\" in red and there's a crowd around it, staring at him and his locker. Everyone just stands there for a minute, then Jack slowly walks through the crowd, stares at his locker, and then starts doing the combination. People whisper. Cut to Joey who looks like she's about to cry. Jack fumbles around in his locker some more. The same group still stands there. Joey tries to get herself together, running scenarios of what she should do in her mind. Finally, she walks towards him.*",
"Joey: Kiss me.",
"Jack: What? Why?",
"Joey: Just cause. *Joey pulls him in for a kiss and everyone in the crowd whispers among themselves. Cut to the McPhee house. Jack is drying dishes.*",
"Andie: Thanks for cleaning up.",
"Jack: Dialogue. That would mean you're talking to me again.",
"Andie: I've been really unfair the last couple of days.",
"Jack: It's okay. I knew you'd come around.",
"Andie: Do you have to be so immensely forgiving? Do you have an ounce of meanness anywhere in your body? At the very least it would make for our sibling squabbles more interesting.",
"Jack: Why make them interesting? I win them as they are.",
"Andie: It's just...been really hard.",
"Jack: For both of us.",
"Andie: But you're better suited for it.",
"Jack: Nobody's suited for public ridicule, Andie. You just deal with it.",
"Andie: I don't. When I first heard what happened to you in class, my initial reaction was resentment. Of all the possibilities, you know, I didn't even feel sorry for you. I just...thought, oh great, thanks, when things finally seemed to be slowing down in my life, and now I have to deal with this. And everything that has happened to us in our lives just made me so afraid. And I didn't think anyone could understand that, especially you. I mean you're so strong and independent and then....and then....*holds up folded sheet of paper* I read this. Your poem. I kept one of the ones I tore down. It's a really beautiful poem, Jack. And I don't know if it means that you're gay or not and I really don't care. But I'll tell you what I do know. The person who wrote this poem...he's just as scared as I am. Jack, you're terrified and I'm your sister and I had no idea. I just wanted to let you know that I'm here for you. And I love you. And you're not alone. *They hug.*",
"Jack: Thank you. *Cut to Joey running up the dock towards Dawson's house. Cut to Dawson's room where he's studying the mini-model of Capeside. Joey appears in the window.*",
"Joey: Dawson, can I come in?",
"Dawson: *surprised* Wo! Um...yeah.",
"Joey: Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. It's been a highly irregular few days and climbing this ladder is the sheerest form of normalcy I know.",
"Dawson: Yeah...come in.",
"Joey: I just wanted to say I'm sorry about yesterday.",
"Dawson: It's okay. I understand.",
"Joey: *sees Capeside model* Wow. This is amazing. This is the whole town.",
"Dawson: It's incredible, isn't it? Jack built it just for the film.",
"Joey: *sighs* Dawson, I need your advice. And I know because of the situation it may be hard to dispense it but...I really need it.",
"Dawson: Anything. Talk to me.",
"Joey: I'm thinking that maybe....you were right....about....Jack and the poem.",
"Dawson: That he meant to write it.",
"Joey: Well, he says he didn't and he has 1,000 reasonable excuses that all make sense only....they don't make sense. I keep wishing that I just would have done what you told me and just asked him if...um...*laughs at the situation* he was gay.",
"Dawson: So why don't you?",
"Joey: If I ask him then he'll know that I've considered it. And if he knows that I've considered it then it will always be there that I've considered it.",
"Dawson: It's the elephant in the room syndrome. The obvious but unspoken topic. The thing that's always lurking but never brought up. Of course, in your case, it's a gay elephant.",
"Joey: You know, this isn't funny.",
"Dawson: Sorry, I had to say it. *Joey flops back on the bed.*",
"Dawson: You have to ask him. I mean, if there's one thing that I've learned about relationships in the past year is that they begin and end with honesty and if you want to save what you have with Jack, *looks down* and I believe it's worth saving, it's that you've got to be honest, you know? So, go. Go hunt an elephant. *Joey gets up and slowly heads for the window.*",
"Joey: Alright...thanks... *She turns around and considers Dawson's behavior.*",
"Joey: Thank you. *She leans in and kisses him on the cheek and heads for the window. Dawson sighs. Cut to Dawson and Pacey sitting outside of the principal's office. Mr. Peterson walks in and looks at Pacey. He smiles evily before he enters the office.*",
"Pacey: Look at that guy. Tell me he does not have it out for me.",
"Dawson: Well, if he didn't already then he certainly does now.",
"Pacey: You know, maybe I should just do it. I should just apoligize. *Dawson just sits there.*",
"Pacey: You don't think what I did was right, do you?",
"Dawson: I can't judge. I wasn't there.",
"Pacey: But would you have done it yourself?",
"Dawson: No.",
"Pacey: And if I go in there and I can't apoligize. Would you be ashamed of me?",
"Dawson: *smiles* In my lifetime, Pacey, I will never be ashamed of you. *Mr. Milo comes out of the office.*",
"Mr.Milo: Pacey, we're ready for you. *Pacey gets up and goes in. Inside, he walks over to the center of the room.*",
"Principal: Mr. Witter, I trust that you've had ample time to put into proper perspective the events of yesterday morning.",
"Pacey: I have, yeah.",
"Principal: Well, the ball's in your court. We're all ears.",
"Pacey: I should start my saying that I'm more ashamed for what I did in that classroom yesterday than anything I have done in my life. It was dead wrong and I have no case here and I'm sorry. However, I am not now, nor will I ever be, apolegetic for it's intention. Everyday we, the students of Capeside, come to a place where you guys are in charge. You tell us when to arrive, and when to leave, and when to move rooms, and when to eat. You tell us when we're doing well and when we need to be doing better and we never, ever question it because we're afraid to. To question it is to go against the belief that the entire system is built upon. The belief that you guys know what's right. And I'm not afraid to tell you that what happened in that classroom was not right. To make a student cry, to embarress him, to strip him of his dignity in front of his classmates, is not right. And while I do respect the system, I do NOT respect men like you, Mr. Peterson, I don't. I can't. And I never will. Not after what you did. You have a good afternoon. *He leaves. Cut to Pacey sitting on a dock, alone, later that night. Andie walks up to him.*",
"Andie: How'd it go?",
"Pacey: As well as could be imagined. They're suspending me for a week. Why'd you bother coming down here?",
"Andie: Because I care about you.",
"Pacey: Do you?",
"Andie: What kind of question is that?",
"Pacey: It's a reasonable one, Andie. Do you have any idea what I went through today? Do you know how much I needed your support?",
"Andie: Pacey, I can't support everything you do. I never will.",
"Pacey: I don't need you to agree with everything I say, Andie. The world would be a boring place if you did. But what I do need to know is that somehow, some way, you're there for me.",
"Andie: How dare you. I challenge one action of yours and you throw it in my face as if it's some kind of weakness?",
"Pacey: It's not just me! You weren't there for your brother, either!",
"Andie: Oh, yes I was. I apoligized to him and I was coming to apoligize for you but for some reason, I was struggling with it all the way down here. That reason has become crystal clear. Jack is innocent, Pacey. What's happening right now he has no control over. But you. Pacey, you knew exactly what you were doing in that classroom.",
"Pacey: Well, what would you have me do, Andie? Just stand there and let Peterson do that to him?",
"Andie: There are other ways of handling--",
"Pacey: When I knew the whole time that IT WAS MY FAULT. It was MY fault. Peterson knew that he couldn't get the best of me so he went after your brother. If I hadn't of instigated him that day...none of this would have happened. I did whatever I could to stop it. I had to stop it.",
"Andie: Why didn't you tell me that you felt responsible?",
"Pacey: Because, Andie, you didn't want to hear it. You just wanted me to clean up the mess. But there are some messes you just have to live with. I'm going home now.",
"Andie: Do you want me to come with you?",
"Pacey: No. Not tonight. *Pacey starts walking home. Cut to the Icehouse. Joey walks in while Jack is cleaning.*",
"Joey: Hey Jack.",
"Jack: Hey, where you been? I've been covering both shifts.",
"Joey: Are you gay?",
"Jack: Excuse me?",
"Joey: Are you gay? You don't have to answer right away. I just had to ask right away because it's just been building up inside of me and there's just no easy way for a girl to ask her boyfriend if he's gay so I know that you already explained to me that the poem wasn't about a guy but I feel like when we discuss it we never really discuss it and I never really ask the one important question that you can feel free to answer any minute now so that--",
"Jack: No. I'm not gay.",
"Joey: Okay. You don't know what a relief that is. I mean, I don't care, I would have dealt with it fine, I promise. Just who wants to deal with all the obvious and not obvious issues of a girl who's dating a guy who turns out to be gay and it's just so hard. *Jack puts his hands on her shoulders and she shuts up. They kiss.*",
"Jack: Feel better?",
"Joey: You don't even know. Would you do me a favor?",
"Jack: Yeah, what?",
"Joey: No more poems for awhile.",
"Jack: You got it. No more poems. *They kiss and then they hug and Joey's face is of contentment and Jack seems to be deep in thought about...his sexuality.*"

"On Dawson's advice, Joey attempts to heal the wounds of her new romance with Jack, which were left exposed by the poem and the resulting innuendo. Jack again reassures her. However, when Jack confronts his innermost secrets, their lives and everyone's close to them will never be the same again. Elsewhere, Pacey takes on Mr. Peterson and challenges his abusive teaching methods. His insistence on making things right in the school alienate Andie, and the two of them must work hard to put their relationship back together."

"Pacey: Dawson, when my suspension is over tomorrow, I'll go back home, but until then, I'm willing to risk you getting sick of me for invading your personal domain because hiding out here and alienating you...beats the hell out of torture and death in the hands of my father at home.",

"Pacey: Yeah, I'm running it on a continuous loop. It speaks to my current situation as a renegade moral crusader. So...what's new in the land of higher education?",

"Pacey: Dawson, it's not that easy, okay? Andie thinks I'm responsible for dragging another McPhee scandal through the school quarters and I think she was being short-sided and selfish and insensitive so right now, we're at an impass.",
"Dawson: No, last week you were at an impass. Right now, you're just in avoidance. *Pacey sighs and Dawson sits down.*",
"Dawson: Right now, she's hurting and you care about her, Pacey. Just...apoligize. Swallow your pride and get your girlfriend back.",

"Jack: Whatever.",
"Joey: It would just be nice if the running commentary would come to a stop, that's all.",
"Jack: And what? Give up my role as Capeside's most talked about non-homosexual?",
"Joey: You know what I mean. I mean, Jack you're not gay. So what is the joy in talking about something that has already been refuted.",
"Jack: Ah, well, we're going to have to fight fire with fire here. What do you say we make love on the student green? *Joey stops, not in the mood for joking around.*",
"Jack: Wait, wait! Even better! We could end me. We could have a \"going into the closet\" party and then everybody could come dressed up as their favorite straight person.",

"Dawson: There are easier things in the world. Anyways, I gotta go. *He takes off down the hall and Joey has that \"What-a-nice-guy-I-kind-of-wish-I-was-still-with-him\" look on her face.*",
"Joey: Dawson!",
"Dawson: Yeah?",
"Joey: *chickens out and fakes like she forgot* Nothing... *Dawson smiles and goes into class as Joey scrunches her eyebrows and goes to her class. Cut to Peterson's Creative Writing class.*",
"Mr.Peterson: Miss Sullivan...Mr. Weinert...and, of course, Mr. Witter.",
"Pacey: Here.",
"Mr.Peterson: What a delight it is to have you return. Tell me, did you think of us while you were on...hiatus?",
"Pacey: Everyday.",
"Mr.Peterson: *pointing to papers* What's that?",
"Pacey: It's all four assignments that I missed while I was gone. I didn't want to run the risk of getting an incomplete on any of them.",
"Mr.Peterson: I'll be sure to take your diligence into consideration and this is your poetry assignment. I'm sorry you weren't able to get it back sooner! *Pacey looks at it, he got an 'F'*",
"Pacey: What exactly was wrong with this?",
"Mr.Peterson: Well, in my educated, editorial analysis....it stunk.",
"Pacey: So, as my teacher, you have no comments or advice on how I might compose a poem more to your liking?",
"Mr.Peterson: Yes. Write better. From now on, people, your grades will be subjective, whim to my personal taste. Those of you with talent, intelligence, and ability will have no problem and the rest of you should come to terms with your inevitable failure. *Cut to Dawson and Pacey in the cafeteria. He's looking at his poem.*",
"Pacey: He's setting it up to fail me.",
"Dawson: And you can't drop it because it's halfway through the semester.",
"Pacey: Bingo. Which puts me at about a 7.4 on the \"Screwed\" Richter. *Andie walks in across the cafeteria and takes a seat by herself, glancing at Pacey.*",
"Pacey: Or, make that 7.8. The phase of massive destruction.",
"Dawson: Go talk to her.",
"Pacey: She saw me. She could come over her.",
"Dawson: Pacey. Go.",
"Pacey: I will. I just want to give it a second. *Cut to Jack sitting a table. Joey walks up and hands him a piece of paper.*",
"Jack: What's this?",
"Joey: A menu.",
"Jack: I realize that.",
"Joey: Look, if you don't like anything, just let me know. That's what I'll be cooking tonight.",
"Jack: For who?",
"Joey: You and me. We're going to have the dinner to end all dinners. At my house on the dock. And I was thinking...what it leads to from there....only the fates can say.",
"Jack: That sounds romantic.",
"Joey: Well, that's the plan, Stan.",
"Jack: You're something else, Joey. I don't know what I'd do without you supporting me through all this.",
"Joey: Well, it goes with the territory of kind of dating you. *She kisses him on the cheek. Cut back to Pacey and Dawson. Pacey is watching Andie. He gets up and walks over.*",
"Andie: Hi.",
"Pacey: Hi.",
"Andie: You haven't called.",
"Pacey: Last I checked my phone has an incoming line.",
"Andie: You left me stranded on a pier after telling me that I was weak and insensitive. I really wasn't up for talking to you.",
"Pacey: And you judged and abandoned me when I needed you the most. I thought I'd wait for your call.",
"Andie: My call? And I'd call and say what?",
"Pacey: For starters, \"I'm sorry.\"",
"Andie: I agree. \"I'm sorry,\" would be nice to hear. Look, was there anything else you wanted because we really don't seem to be making any progress here.",
"Pacey: Well, Andie, I just saw you sitting over here and I thought I'd come say hello. Any progress beyond that I hadn't really considered.",
"Andie: Well, consider this. Hello is typically followed by one thing. *Andie closes her book and packs up.*",
"Andie: Goodbye. *She walks out of the cafeteria leaving Pacey behind. In the hallway, she meets up with Jack.*",
"Jack: What was that about?",
"Andie: I don't want to talk about it. I'm late to meet Mr. Milo.",
"Jack: What do you mean?",
"Andie: Nothing. I didn't want to bother you. It's just that he's been calling for mom lately and I've been covering and finally he just asked me to come in, that's all.",
"Jack: Andie, that's where I'm going. He asked me to come in, too. I figured it was just more of his good guy, counselor BS.",
"Andie: I wonder why he wants us both to come in. *Cut to Mr. Milo's office. A man is tapping his fingers against the desk. Andie and Pacey enter and Andie's eyes light up.*",
"Andie: Daddy!! *She runs and gives him a hug.*",
"Mr.McPhee: Hello, sweetheart. *Jack just gives him a cold stare. Andie is happy with his return. Cut to Joey packing napkins, candles, etc. into a picnic basket. She's dressed up. The phone rings.*",
"Joey: Hello?",
"Jack: (other end) Uh...a romantic evening for two?",
"Joey: Yes.",
"Jack: I can't come.",
"Joey: *concerned* Why?",
"Jack: It's my dad. He came in from Rhode Island. He wants to take Andie and me to dinner.",
"Joey: *confused* Well, that's good, right?",
"Jack: Yeah, hardly. Milo called him. Told him everything that's been going on at school. So I think I'm going to have to take a raincheck.",
"Joey: *disappointed* Uh, um, hey, well, that's completely understandable.",
"Jack: I'm sorry, Joey. I hope I haven't ruined your whole evening.",
"Joey: No. Um, don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Um, I'll find something to do.",
"Jack: Alright. Well, I guess I'll see you then?",
"Joey: Yeah, okay, yeah...I'll see you later.",
"Jack: Thanks.",
"Joey: Yeah, bye.",
"Jack: Bye. *Joey hangs up the phone and walks over to her mirror and starts to take her hair down. Then, she seems to remember something and she picks up the phone and dials a number. Cut to the blues club Jen and Ty were at last episode. Dawson and Joey are following Jen and Ty.*",
"Dawson: Okay, this place couldn't be seedier.",
"Joey: Dawson, it's not that bad. I mean, it sure beats sitting home feeling dumb.",
"Dawson: Yeah, but... *They all sit down at a table, watching the singer.*",
"Dawson: So, Ty, I take it you come here a lot?",
"Ty: Yeah, it's practically home.",
"Waiter: What'll it be, Ty?",
"Ty: Um, four usuals.",
"Joey: What's a usual?",
"Ty: It's, um, a surprise. A rather stiff surprise.",
"Joey: I, um, I'll have a coke.",
"Dawson: Me too. *The singer finishes the song on stage. Everyone claps.*",
"Singer: Ty, honey, it's your turn.",
"Ty: Duty calls. *He walks up onstage and takes a seat at the piano.*",
"Dawson: What's he--What's he doing?",
"Jen: I have NO idea. *He starts playing the piano for the song.*",
"Dawson: Oookay...",
"Joey: Where'd he learn how to play like that?",
"Jen: Church?",
"Dawson: What is his deal? I mean, doesn't his religion frown on this?",
"Jen: Yeah, well, he's got issues.",
"Joey: He's perfect for you!",
"Jen: Thank you so much! *Joey laughs*",
"Dawson: Okay, can we just stop and comment on the irony of the three of us sitting here?",
"Jen: Oh, you mean the proverbial, proverbial triangle.",
"Dawson: I mean, here I am, single, sandwiched in between two women who both dumped me. It's pathetic.",
"Jen: Hey, look at me, I'm dating a bible-bumping hypocrite, okay?",
"Joey: Hey, my boyfriend may be gay. *They all laugh*",
"Jen: Bartender!",
"Dawson: Three usuals!",
"Joey: And hurry! *They laugh again. Cut to Pacey at the library.*",
"Librarian: These are the code of conduct finals for every public job in the county including teaching guidelines. Not that I care, but why exactly are you doing this?",
"Pacey: Just trying to make the best of a bad situation. This is going to take forever.",
"Librarian: No, it's going to take...20 minutes. We're closing. *Pacey sighs. Cut to Andie, Jack, and their father at a restaurant.*",
"Andie: So the doctor gave Mom this new prescription. It's (missed word) but her behavior has noticeably improved. Oh, she'll be so happy to see you! Hey, I know! Tomorrow, I can make this fabulous breakfast and we can surprise her. Oh and I made the honor roll!",
"Mr.McPhee: You always make honor roll.",
"Andie: Well, I made it again. So...Jack! Why don't you tell Daddy about the Icehouse? Jack's working at this great restaurant downtown, I hear he's doing really well there.",
"Mr.McPhee: You seem especially quiet tonight.",
"Jack: Well, there's nothing to say. Everything's alright, I guess.",
"Mr.McPhee: That's not the case, Jack. If everything were alright with the world, Mr. Milo would not have called me, insisted that I leave work, drive to Capeside and disrupt my life.",
"Jack: Well, sorry to bother you, Dad.",
"Mr.McPhee: Are you gay, Jack?",
"Jack: Would you care?",
"Mr.McPhee: That's not an answer and yes, I would. I think this family has enough problems. We don't need to add to them.",
"Jack: And it would be a problem?",
"Mr.McPhee: You're the only son I have now, Jack. You don't have Tim to hide behind anymore. People notice you now.",
"Andie: Daddy, I think you've made your point.",
"Mr.McPhee: Andie, this doesn't concern you. And I will have made my point when your brother makes the appropriate response to the question. If Jack really loves this family and appreciates all that we've done for him he'd realize that we already have enough to deal with in the way of problems that we can't help. And those that we can help, would be best resolved immediately. Did I make myself clear?",
"Jack: Yes.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"*Cut to Dawson and Joey slow dancing to a song.*",
"Dawson: So, are you having a good time?",
"Joey: Actually, yeah.",
"Dawson: Good.",
"Joey: Thanks.",
"Dawson: Yeah, me too. I'm sorry your plans didn't work out but...I'm really glad you're here. Jack is missing out. *They keep dancing.*",
"Joey: You think he's gay, don't you?",
"Dawson: I never said that. *Joey sighs like \"Please.\"*",
"Dawson: Okay, the thought has crossed my mind once. *Joey raises her eyebrows.*",
"Dawson: And commited twice. I don't know, you know better than I do.",
"Joey: Yeah, I do!",
"Dawson: And do you know him as well as you know me?",
"Joey: No, of course not. Not yet. I mean, I can't read his eyes the way I can yours.",
"Dawson: So, what are my eyes saying right now. *He looks at her with his \"complete-adoration\" look.*",
"Joey: Um, I think what your eyes are saying is how...comfortable it is for us to be here like this...together....as friends.",
"Dawson: You're good. *They keep dancing as we cut to Jen and Ty watching them from the table.*",
"Ty: You know, I don't get it. They make such a cute couple. Why would Joey want to be with a fruitfly?",
"Jen: Jack's no fruitfly.",
"Ty: Oh, come on, Jen. He's playing for the other team.",
"Jen: You don't know that.",
"Ty: Hey, if it looks like a duck, talks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck.",
"Jen: Why does it even matter if he....is a duck?",
"Ty: Well, it's his choice. If he wants to quack, more power to him.",
"Jen: See I don't think it's exactly a choice you make.",
"Ty: Well, see, that's what they want you to believe. That it's not a choice. But, you see, everything in life is a decision. And all ducks choose to quack and Jack's definitely a quacker.",
"Jen: Are you kidding me or are you serious?",
"Ty: Oh, I'm serious. Nobody has to quack if they don't want to. *Cut to Jack laying on his bed tossing a rubber ball against the wall and catching it. Someone knocks at the door.*",
"Jack: Come in. *Andie opens it.*",
"Andie: Hey.",
"Jack: Hey.",
"Andie: I'm sorry about tonight. He shouldn't have said those things.",
"Jack: Well, it's okay. I don't expect any less.",
"Andie: Jack. He hasn't had it easy.",
"Jack: Yeah and life here on Windsor's been a bowl of cherries.",
"Andie: Well, it's not going to get any better unless he comes back.",
"Jack: Andie, come on!",
"Andie: Well, it's true! I mean, we can not keep watching over Mom and everything. We are too young for this kind of responsibility.",
"Jack: Then we'll get used to it cause he's not going to stay. You're a fool if you think he is.",
"Andie: But if we make him see that we all need to be together then--",
"Jack: WHY?! Why do we need to?!",
"Andie: Because he's our father.",
"Jack: Andie, we lost him when Tim died and then Mom got sick and he bailed. So what makes you think things are going to be any different now?",
"Andie: How do you expect him to accept you if that's the way you feel about him? If you keep on resisting loving him, how's he supposed to love you back?",
"Jack: I don't know and frankly, I don't care. As far as I'm concerned, you can spend the rest of your life listing your accomplishments towards him, begging in his lap for a few meager signs of approval that he decides to toss your way but I can't do that.",
"Andie: I don't think there is anything wrong for wanting my father to be proud of me.",
"Jack: No, no, there isn't. But did you ever stop to wonder if you're proud of him? *Cut to Ty and Jen at Jen's house.*",
"Jen: *handing her a plate* Thank you, Grams.",
"Grams: I really like that Ty boy, Jennifer.",
"Ty: That was a great sandwich, Mrs. Ryan.",
"Grams: Would you like some more milk, Tyson?",
"Ty: No, no, no thanks. One's my limit. I'm driving. *Jen is sitting there quietly.*",
"Ty: Are you upset about something?",
"Jen: No. No, it's--you know what, yeah. Yeah, actually I am.",
"Ty: Let me guess. The quacking ducks.",
"Jen: How can you think that it's wrong?",
"Ty: Oh, I never said it was wrong, Jen. I just said it was a choice.",
"Jen: So you think it's okay?",
"Ty: No. No. I think it's wrong. It's in the Bible. Hey, Mrs. Ryan, what's the chapter that condemns homosexuality as a sin?",
"Grams: I believe it's the book of Li--",
"Jen: Grams, stay out of this. Please, okay? I'm not going to let you two gang up on me, here. How can you have such a narrow view of being gay?",
"Ty: How can your view be so narrowly liberal?",
"Jen: Ty, you're no Saint, you know that.",
"Ty: I don't claim to be but one day, I'm going to have to answer to the Big Man and so will Jack. And if he's ready to take responsibility for his actions then he can do whatever he wants. I just think that his kind is damaging to the world at large.",
"Jen: I can not believe you. For you to just magically suggest that someone can decide whether or not to be gay is insane.",
"Ty: The facts don't lie, Jen! The gay movement has been nothing but medically and morally damaging to this country.",
"Jen: What?!",
"Grams: I've tried to stay out of this, but I can't, Jennifer.",
"Jen: No, no! I am not going to let you guys moral majority me, here, when you don't even know all the facts!",
"Grams: What I have to say is not directed at you, Jen, what I have to say is for Tyson. If Jack is gay, he does not need your judgement, young man. The Lord above will judge him, as he will all of us. What he needs from you, from me, from everyone else in this world is love and tolerance. If anything, that boy is feeling scared and alone and he will need the understanding of his fellow man to help him through this. Let's save judgement for someone much more experienced than you. *Jen smiles and stands up next to Grams, those two ganged up on Ty. Cut to Dawson walking Joey home.*",
"Joey: You know, you didn't have to walk me home.",
"Dawson: Well, maybe I wanted to. How you doin'?",
"Joey: Mm. Okay, I guess.",
"Dawson: Did the blues club just make you more blue?",
"Joey: Yeah...",
"Dawson: Want to talk about it?",
"Joey: It's stupid... *She opens her door and Dawson follows her in.*",
"Dawson: If it's stupid you're talking to the right person, okay? I happen to have a world of experience when it comes to stupidity.",
"Joey: Can I ask you something straight-forward and honest?",
"Dawson: Yeah, you know you can.",
"Joey: Um...am I sexual?",
"Dawson: What?",
"Joey: The thing is, um, I know that Jack's not gay but he's obviously confused about something and it's always kept him at a distance and I was just wondering if he chose me because...I'm safe.",
"Dawson: Safe?",
"Joey: Look at me. I'm Joey Potter, virgin at large. I don't really have any experience with men or relationships or s*x.",
"Dawson: Joey, you are extremely sexual.",
"Joey: But you didn't see it. I mean, you fell for Jen, s*x machine. I was something else to you.",
"Dawson: Joey, I was just stupid. It took me time to see what was there.",
"Joey: And what was there?",
"Dawson: What was there was one amazingly, sexy girl. Joey, your sexuality is in everything you do. Your wit, your intelligence, your anger, your fiestiness. I see it more and more everyday. You're blossoming and it's amazingly sexy.",
"Joey: Thanks, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Look, I don't think the question is why did Jack choose you. I think the real question is why did you choose Jack? *Dawson walks towards the door.*",
"Dawson: Goodnight.",
"Joey: Goodnight, Dawson... *Cut to the principal arriving at school and Pacey's waiting.*",
"Pacey: Principal Marky(?)!",
"Principal: Pacey. Judging from your tardiness record, I didn't think you rose before 10.",
"Pacey: Well, rising requires sleeping and I didn't get a chance to do that last night. This is for you. *He hands her some papers.*",
"Principal: What is this?",
"Pacey: It's a document I prepared. I checked out the state bilaws on professional antics for teachers and turns out, Mr. Peterson's in violation of almost every one.",
"Principal: What's your point here?",
"Pacey: *reading* All educators should maintain professional relationships with all students in a manner in which is free of indictiveness, recrimination, and harassment. Want me to keep reading?",
"Principal: What are you suggesting? That I call Mr. Peterson to my office and give him Saturday detention?",
"Pacey: No, you don't have to do anything. That folder contains over 20 other testimonies from students that I gathered last night. There's a school board meeting on Tuesday and I sent a copy of that to every person on the board. I want this man publicly reprimanded for his behavior.",
"Principal: I hope you know what you're doing, Pacey.",
"Pacey: I'm sorry if I had to go around you Principal Marky. But I was just trying to do the best I could with my given said circumstances. *He walks off. Cut to the McPhee house. Mr.McPhee comes down the stairs with his suitcases.*",
"Andie: Daddy, where are you going?",
"Mr.McPhee: I have to get back. I have three meetings this afternoon. Here's names of some nurse companies for your mother. We'll get help in here for ya.",
"Andie: Well, can't you stay any longer?",
"Mr.McPhee: No, I'm sorry. It's not possible.",
"Andie: But you said we'd discuss it and we haven't yet.",
"Mr.McPhee: Andie, don't get emotional. I'll be back in a few weeks.",
"Jack: Don't bother.",
"Mr.McPhee: Excuse me?",
"Jack: I said don't bother coming back.",
"Andie: Jack. Daddy and I are talking right now so please just let us talk.",
"Mr.McPhee: Would you like to explain your comment?",
"Jack: You don't want to be here so don't bother coming back. We have everything under control. Save yourself the gas mileage.",
"Mr.McPhee: I will not suffer that tone from you. You understand me? I work too hard.",
"Jack: Oh, that's always the excuse, isn't it? You work too hard. Well, I could care less how hard you work. What's the sense in trying to support a family you don't even care about?",
"Mr.McPhee: Alright, that's it. Goodbye, Andie. I'll call you in a few days. *He turns for the door but Jack runs for it and slams it shut, blocking his path.*",
"Jack: No, no, no! You're not going anywhere!",
"Mr.McPhee: Get out of that doorway!",
"Jack: No! This is one conversation that you can't run away from! You don't want to talk about Tim's death. Or Mom being sick or even why she's sick. You trust the reality of why your daughter's been on and off prescription drugs for the last two years. That's fine, too. *yelling and crying* But we are going to talk about me!",
"Mr.McPhee: YOU CALM YOURSELF DOWN!",
"Jack: No! I will NOT calm down and I will NOT be quiet! You want to resolve this then ask me again.",
"Mr.McPhee: Ask you what?",
"Jack: The question! Ask me the question again. Ask me if I'm gay. Ask me.",
"Mr.McPhee: You are not gay.",
"Jack: Yes. I am. You know it. I see how you look at me and I know, you know. Think about the way that you treated me and the way that you treated Tim because he was the real son and I was different. And as hard as you've tried to stamp it out and ignore it, I have tried HARDER. I have tried harder than you to be quiet and to forget it and to not bother my family with my problems.*walks over and sits on the stairs, crying* But I can't try anymore because it hurts. I'm sorry, Dad. Andie, I'm sorry. I don't want to be going through this, but I am. *Andie goes over to the steps and sits with him, comforting him.*",
"Mr.McPhee: Stop crying, both of you. I said stop crying.",
"Andie: Leave!",
"Mr.McPhee: Andie, this is between Jack and me.",
"Andie: Not anymore it's not! Just leave. Get out of here! *He leaves and Andie goes to comfort Jack, still crying on the stairs. Cut to Jack walking outside of school. He spots Joey and runs up to her.*",
"Jack: Joey, hey!",
"Joey: Hey! You survived dinner.",
"Jack: Barely. Hey, listen, can we make some plans to see each other tonight?",
"Joey: Sure. Calling in your raincheck?",
"Jack: Yeah, I really need it.",
"Joey: Okay. So I guess until tonight, then?",
"Jack: Okay. *They kiss quickly.*",
"Jack: See ya.",
"Joey: Bye! *Cut to Jack and everyone reading a sign on Peterson's door. Pacey walks up.*",
"Pacey: What's going on?",
"Jack: No Peterson today. We're supposed to go to study hall up in the library.",
"Pacey: Mm.",
"Jack: Um, Pacey! I've been meaning to tell you something for awhile. Thank you.",
"Pacey: Your welcome, man. *Pacey keeps walking and looks in the room and sees Peterson sitting at his desk. He goes into the room.*",
"Pacey: Why isn't class in session?",
"Mr.Peterson: Oh, you didn't get the latest update? Your favorite teacher's leaving this god-forsaken institution.",
"Pacey: I don't get it. You haven't even gone before the board yet.",
"Mr.Peterson: Please. You didn't really think I'd appear before some collection of idiot parents and have them tell me what I've done wrong for the past 30 years. I'd rather eat dirt. I was planning on retiring in 6 months but your action gave me every reason in the world to make an early exit.",
"Pacey: Mr. Peterson, this may feel a little late in coming but I am sorry.",
"Mr.Peterson: That stunt was one of the most admirable moments of your life. Don't ruin it with an apoligy.",
"Pacey: You are unbelievable, man. What is it inside of you that makes you so damn mean?",
"Mr.Peterson: Mr. Witter, as awful a man as you find me to be, you came here to learn from me.",
"Pacey: I have learned, sir. I've learned that respect is not commanded through fear. It's earned through compassion.",
"Mr.Peterson: Then tell me this. Should I respect you? You're responsible for ending my career. Where is the compassion in that? *He leaves, leaving Pacey alone in the classroom. Cut to Jen on the swing in her yard. Ty walks up.*",
"Ty: I come in peace. Nursing my wounded ego. Hoping for redemption.",
"Jen: Ty...this just isn't going to work out. I'm sorry but there's too many differences and I can't seem to get beyond some of your inherent views.",
"Ty: So we can't disagree? I thought a relationship was about growing together. If you think that my beliefs are wrong, teach me. Show me another way.",
"Jen: Ty, it's not that easy.",
"Ty: Well, relationships aren't easy. All I'm saying is I'm open-minded. My narrow-minded ways are open for discussion. What about your liberal views? Are they open? You are a smart, beautiful girl...can't we just see what happens next?",
"Jen: Well, you certainly have a charm, don't you? *Cut to Pacey walking out on the student green. He spots Andie, who spots him. Andie closes her book and gets up and walks towards Pacey.*",
"Andie: I've been looking for you...",
"Pacey: No, actually, I came to talk to you..",
"Andie: No, before you say a word, Pacey, I need to say something. I want to apoligize.",
"Pacey: No, I came to apoligize.",
"Andie: No, I should be the one. I've been treating you so unfairly.",
"Pacey: No, but I hurt you with my little crusade, okay? I never thought about how it might effect you. I just got obsessed.",
"Andie: Wait a minute, why do you get to be the only one who apoligizes?",
"Pacey: Why are you arguing with me about it?",
"Andie: Because I failed you.",
"Pacey: I was self-riteous to the point of alienating everything I cared about.",
"Andie: But I forced you to live up to these unreasonable expectations.",
"Pacey: Okay! McPhee, shut up and let me apoligize, okay? This last week without you has been a living hell and I don't ever want to have to go through another moment like that. I'm sorry, McPhee.",
"Andie: You're forgiven, Pacey.",
"Pacey: It's your turn now.",
"Andie: It's just that I molded you into this person that I thought you should be and I did it to my father, too. I thought it was what I needed, you know? I place this unfair burden on people just so they can save me from myself but I realize I don't need a knight in shining armor. I need a partner. Someone I'm proud to love and who's proud to love me back in spite of all my faults and it's you. You're the one, Pacey. I'm sorry.",
"Pacey: How come your apoligy was so much better than mine? I always lose to you, Andie. *They kiss.*",
"Pacey: I take that back. I'm definitely the winner here. *Cut to Jack walking towards Joey who is lighting candles outside of her house for their \"dinner\".*",
"Joey: Heyyy! You're early! I haven't finished lighting the candles and the foods still inside. *The kiss again (quickly)*",
"Jack: Wow. Joey, this is magnificent.",
"Joey: Yeah, I'd be pretty impressed if I were you.",
"Jack: You shouldn't have done this.",
"Joey: I wanted to.",
"Jack: I know, but you shouldn't have.",
"Joey: This is where I say \"Uh, oh\" right?",
"Jack: Look, Joey, I don't really know where to start..",
"Joey: Just be honest with me. I mean, this time...just be honest. Please.",
"Jack: This morning I told my father I was gay.",
"Joey: So you are. You're gay.",
"Jack: Well, I, I mean, I'm not--",
"Joey: You're not gay?",
"Jack: No.",
"Joey: Part gay? *Jack laughs*",
"Joey: No, um, please don't laugh at me. I don't know what you're trying to say, um, you're gay? *Jack nods sort-of crying. Joey starts nodding.*",
"Jack: When I wrote that poem, it clicked something inside of me that has been quiet for so long and it made me realize that whatever it is I'm going through is not going to go away. Maybe ever. Joey, I care about you so much. You've been such a good friend to me which is why I can't stand the thought of losing you, but I don't want to hurt you either.",
"Joey: I, um, I know the rest. Thank you for being honest with me. *Jack reaches across the table and grabs her hand.*",
"Jack: Thank you for being you. *Cut to Andie eating her dinner at her house. Jack walks in. She gets up and they hug. Cut to Dawson laying on his bed watching television. Joey crawls through the window. Dawson looks at her with confusion. She starts crying and walks over and lays her head on his chest and cries. Dawson kisses the top of her head and she continues to cry and then ending credits.*"

"*Dawson's room. On the television, Devon (Rachel Leigh Cook) playing Sammy rows her boat down the creek. Cut to Joey laying on her stomach on Dawson's bed with tears in her eyes. The movie ends.*",
"Dawson: Well...",
"Joey: Well, (sighs deeply), I don't think I can find the words.",
"Dawson: I mean, keep in mind that it's a rough cut and everything. Just tell me. Be honest.",
"Joey: In my entire life I have never been this unequivically moved by words and moving images onscreen. I mean this is the type of movie going experience that not only enlightens and inspires but it could change the way people look at their lives, their world, their universe!",
"Dawson: God, Joey, you have no idea how much that means, especially coming from you.",
"Joey: No, there's no doubt about it. Jack McPhee will be one of the great filmmakers of our generation. I mean, think about it, Dawson. We knew him when! *Joey gets up off the bed*",
"Dawson: (confused) Wait a minute, Joey, I directed this movie.",
"Joey: Spielberg, Corsazi, Seleni, Burdenen, McPhee!",
"Dawson: Joey, what are you talking about? You were there! I directed it! Look! (takes film out of the VCR) Creek Daze, a film by (confused) Jack McPhee?! *Jack enters through the window*",
"Joey: (to Jack) Honey, there's only one word to describe you. Brilliant. *Jack laughs.*",
"Joey: No, genius!",
"Jack: Honey, you will not believe what happened. I ran into Steven Spielberg in the cafeteria. He offered me a job! I'm going to Hollywood! *Joey and Jack start kissing and Dawson stands there looking at them completely confused. They stop. Jack gets down on one knee.*",
"Jack: Will you marry me? *Dawson looks at Joey amazed at this.*",
"Joey: Yes! *Jack gets up.*",
"Dawson: Wh-wh?! You're gay!",
"Jack: I guess not! *Jack and Joey start kissing again.*",
"Jack: Let's go! We'll, uh, send you a postcard from Tinseltown.",
"Dawson: Joey! What about us? *She follows Jack out the window.*",
"Joey: It's showbiz, Dawson!",
"Dawson: Joey! Joey!!",
"Joey: Get over it, Dawson. You're not my type. You never were. *Joey and Jack are gone and Dawson's face turns to a look of horror.*",
"Dawson: Noooooooooooooo! *Cut to Dawson sitting up in his bed at nighttime. It was only a dream.* *Cut to film class with the new teacher. Dawson and Jen are in the class.*",
"Miss Kennedy: Great filmmakers have always asked questions, taken risks. They're not afraid to make the audience think, feel, even if it makes them squirm in their seats a little. The truth has that effect on us. So...how does this movie make you feel? Jen?",
"Jen: I think that the Capra is a little too sacran, you know? I think his characters are too unrealistic like \"Gee, whiz, isn't life great?\"",
"Dawson: I think that's a misconception though. I think Capra's films are actually pretty dark. I mean, when you meet John Doe, the Gary Cooper character's a participant in the plight of the common man.",
"Miss Kennedy: Good, Dawson, what else does his character represent?",
"Dawson: Optimism. I mean, the hero wasn't innocent which leads you to believe that the future has hope so the antagonist is cynicism.",
"Miss Kennedy: I agree. Good films are complex and ambiguous. They're full of darkness as well as light. I think this film is about how things should be.",
"Dawson: Or should be. *The bell rings. Cut to Dawson and Jen walking out of the class and down the halls.*",
"Dawson: I was sad to see Mr. Gold leave but Miss Kennedy is like...",
"Jen: Every 16-year-old male's wet dream.",
"Dawson: No...",
"Jen: (doubtful) Mm-hm.",
"Dawson: It's more like hero-worship with her. I mean, she's the real deal. The reason she's here is she's taking a sabbatical to write a major screenplay for TriStar.",
"Jen: Great. Now you've got somebody around who's opinion actually carries some weight, huh?",
"Dawson: Yeah...",
"Jen: So you showed her Creek Daze yet?",
"Dawson: No.",
"Jen: Dawson...",
"Dawson: I'm afraid she'll think it's amateur hour! *Mitch, substituting at the school, walks up behind them.*",
"Jen: Show it to her. It's ready.",
"Mitch: Hey.",
"Jen: Hey. *Jen walks off.*",
"Mitch: Hi Dawson.",
"Dawson: Mr. Leery.",
"Mitch: (hurt) Come on, you can call me Dad. *Dawson motions him to follow him into an empty classroom.*",
"Dawson: It's awkward enough to have you as my English teacher but if people hear me call you Dad, I'm going to get beat up after school. *Mitch laughs*",
"Mitch: Come on, it's not that bad.",
"Dawson: It's great that you have a job you enjoy, but when we're in school, just pretend like you don't know me. *Dawson yawns.*",
"Mitch: Not sleeping?",
"Dawson: No. I'm having nightmares. It's like I'm stuck alone in a dark theater watching my life go by on the screen and all the coming attractions are box-office bombs.",
"Mitch: What happened to my son? The eternal optimist?",
"Dawson: People move on. The only person you can really count on is yourself. It's--I've spent the last few weeks trying to change things that I have absolutely no control over. One thing I know for certain is that I want to be a filmmaker and that's all that matters to me. So no matter what I have to make that happen. *Dawson exits the room back into the hall. Cut to Joey sitting at a table drinking a Diet Coke in the lunch room, checking out guys in the lunch room.*",
"Joey: Loser....Pervert...Serial Killer...Airhead...okay, Jack, it's your turn to rate the guys in the lunch line.",
"Jack: Look, Joey, I appreciate your attempt to bond with me and my new identity, but I'm not going to check out guys with you.",
"Joey: Why not? There's nothing sexual about it. It's a superficial, idiotic, ridiculous, fun way to spend the lunch hour.",
"Jack: Are you okay?",
"Joey: I'm bored with this school, with work, with this town. Also, with myself. I mean, this is the most amusement I've had in weeks. *Jack laughs. Joey looks back over to the lunch line.*",
"Joey: Conceited...Too Pretty...ooohhh, definitely a Frank-enstein...ooooh, Leo, as in DiCaprio.",
"Jack: (laughs) How completely bizarre is this? The other week we were dating and now...",
"Joey: I know. It's a little strange. Does it bother you?",
"Jack: Actually, um, no. You?",
"Joey: (truthfully) No, it doesn't bother me. *Cut to Pacey and Andie walking down the docks.*",
"Andie: Why not?!",
"Pacey: Because last year a bunch of punk kids threw water balloons at me and then a bunch of jocks knocked the booth over. And being coerced with the threat of death to run the safety booth for the Capeside Police Department is not exactly by idea of a rockin' good time.",
"Andie: I looked up to our safety mascot when I was a kid.",
"Pacey: And you wonder why they called you Andie McGeek on the playground?",
"Andie: Okay, you were not supposed to repeat that.",
"Pacey: (laughs) Listen, a stuffed animal named Skippy, the safety dog, is not going to dissert kids from doing drugs.",
"Andie: No, Captain Skippy sends out a positive message. It's completely worthwhile.",
"Pacey: This is a democracy. If a two-year-old child doesn't want to sit in a safety seat, he shouldn't have to!",
"Andie: Pacey.",
"Pacey: Okay, that was a bad example but you know what I mean.",
"Andie: Look, there's supposed to be a fortune teller at the fair and I really want to know my fortune.",
"Pacey: Andie, what is it with you and all this mumbo-jumbo, crystal crap? It's a scam, alright?",
"Andie: Okay. If you do the Captain Skippy booth, then we can (she whispers something in Pacey's ear.) *Pacey smiles.*",
"Pacey: (in a gruffy voice) Hello boys and girls, this is your old friend, Captain Skippy, here. *Cut to the Winter Fair. Jack is messing with the pictures on the art exhibit him and Joey were putting up.*",
"Jack: So, tell me, Miss Potter, are these a still life collection from your earlier works? *Joey's in a daze*",
"Jack: Hm? Joey? *She snaps out of it.*",
"Jack: (laughs) Where were you?",
"Joey: None of your business.",
"Jack: Ah, I see, lost in X-rated thought?",
"Joey: No...",
"Jack: Come on, tell me.",
"Joey: Okay, but promise you won't laugh? *Jack crosses his chest like he promises.*",
"Joey: I was thinking about kisses. *Jack starts laughing.*",
"Joey: Forget it!",
"Jack: No, no, I'm sorry. It just sounds funny coming from a girl who decided to throw away relationships in pursuit of her true self.",
"Joey: I know. I mean, sometimes I'm sorry I ever said that. I mean, I'm being honest with you here to the point of utter humiliation, I miss the kissing part. And I'd like to think that I'll get kissed again before the millenium comes and goes.",
"Jack: It'll happen.",
"Dawson: What'll happen? *Dawson has walked up.*",
"Joey: Nothing.",
"Dawson: Okay...well, I guess I'll see you guys later...",
"Jack: No, why don't you stick around and help us set up?",
"Joey: Yeah, stay!",
"Dawson: Nah, I'm helping Miss Kennedy with the sound and film exhibit so... *Dawson walks off.*",
"Jack: So...Frank? Leo?",
"Joey: Dawson's definitely a Leo..",
"Jack: Dawson seems a little moody lately.",
"Joey: I know. I can always tell when there's something wrong with him but it doesn't seem like he wants my help right now. I can't get our friendship back on track and I miss him, you know?",
"Jack: Give it time. I'm sure he'll want you back in his life, trust me. In the meantime, why don't we find out when that elusive next kiss is going to find it's way to your lips.",
"Joey: What? *Jack points to a tent with a sign outside that reads \"Madame Zenovich\". It's the fortune teller. Cut to Pacey with Skippy the safety dog puppet on his hands talking to Andie.*",
"Pacey: (in a gruff voice) And remember, kids, if you have s*x, protect yourself. Do it where you can't get caught, you know?",
"Andie: Uh huh, mm-kay, come on, why don't you come get your fortune told?",
"Pacey: Because I don't want to go in there, have that lady take one look at me, and predict Armageddon, death, and destruction on a global level. The end of the world as we know it.",
"Andie: I thought you didn't believe in them.",
"Pacey: I don't. I just think the power of suggestion is a very dangerous thing.",
"Andie: But don't you think if you knew what was coming up, if you knew what to expect, then you could at least be prepared for it?",
"Pacey: I think that you should save your money, Blondie. The all-powerful Paceydini will predict your future. I see a tall, dark, handsome man who is occasionally brilliant and often self-effacing coming into your life and sweeping you off your feet.",
"Andie: Well, good. Then I have something to look forward to.",
"Pacey: Funny. Very funny. Have I told you how funny you are? *Cut to Madame Zenovich and Joey and Jack in a dark tent.*",
"Madame: Five dollars. *She blows smoke in Jack's face and he coughs slightly and Joey looks uncomfortable as she gets her money and hands it to the fortune teller.*",
"Madame: I see a 'C'. Do you know a Carrie? *Joey shakes her head no*",
"Madame: Claire? Connie? Cory? Casey? Caroline?",
"Joey: I know a Carol, but I haven't seen her since kindergarden.",
"Madame: She's telling me that she borrowed something of yours. Does that mean anything to you?",
"Joey: I don't know, she might have borrowed a pencil or something...",
"Madame: Yes, she has your pencil. *Joey looks disappointed. Just then, a gentle breeze comes through the tent and the wind chimes make noise.*",
"Madame: Mmm...there has been much pain in your past. Too much loss for one so young. You've put up walls to protect you from harm but by doing so, you cut yourself off from new opportunities, new adventures. You must say yes to every opportunity that comes your way.",
"Joey: So what about my future?",
"Madame: What do you want to know?",
"Joey: What's going to happen?",
"Madame: You'll come to a fork in the road. You'll have to choose which path to take.",
"Joey: Well, how will I know which to choose?",
"Madame: You will be safe if you follow your heart.",
"Joey: Anything else?",
"Madame: A tall, dark man will come into your life.",
"Joey: (happy) When?",
"Madame: Soon. *Cut to Dawson walking with Miss Kennedy*",
"Miss Kennedy: So when do I get to see this cinematic masterpiece of yours?",
"Dawson: How did you know I made a movie?",
"Miss Kennedy: Your father brags about you in the faculty room.",
"Dawson: Oh, God...",
"Miss Kennedy: Your father says that you're going to be one of the next great filmmakers of our time.",
"Dawson: Mitch tends to exaggerate.",
"Miss Kennedy: Really? You mean because he's already rented a tux for the Oscars?",
"Dawson: Oh, shoot me now, please.",
"Miss Kennedy: Well, if you're not going to show it to me, at least tell me what it's about.",
"Dawson: It's a romance.",
"Miss Kennedy: Really? Something else we have in common. I'm writing a romantic comedy for Columbia.",
"Dawson: I know..I heard. I know I'm going to sound like a naive film geek for saying this, but you being here has really given me a lot of hope. I mean, you grew up in a small town like this. It's just being a filmmaker has always been like this impossible dream that--it's just the fact that you're here, that really kind of inspired me. I don't know. I just wanted to say that.",
"Miss Kennedy: Do I make you nervous?",
"Dawson: No. Nah. It's just--I don't know, I guess I'm a little intimidated by you.",
"Miss Kennedy: Sometimes people mistake my ambition for arrogance. It's just that when I first started out, I had to do it on my own. I guess it just kind of toughens the exterior.",
"Dawson: Yeah...",
"Miss Kennedy: I should have guessed your film was a love story.",
"Dawson: Really? Why'd you think that?",
"Miss Kennedy: You have quite the romantic spirit, Dawson Leery. *Cut to Jack and Joey walking back towards the art exhibit.*",
"Joey: Five bucks to tell me a tall, dark stranger was going to come into my life.",
"Jack: And hopefully he's a Leo, not a Frank, right?",
"Joey: I can't believe I spent five of my hard, and I mean hard earned, cash to hear that-- *Joey is stopped when a tall, dark man who's been looking at her paintings interrupts.*",
"Colin: Excuse me? Are these yours? *Jack looks at Joey and Joey tries to talk, but just nods.*",
"Colin: These are quite good. Hi. I'm Colin Manchester.",
"Joey: Hi.",
"Colin: (looks at Jack and back at Joey) Well, good work. *Colin walks off. Jack hits Joey playfully on the arm.*",
"Jack: Let me get this straight. Your destiny walks up to you, introduces himself, and you send him packing? You can really turn on the Ice Queen comments when you want to.",
"Joey: What? Jack, I'm not looking for a boyfriend, anyway. I'm looking for myself, my future.",
"Jack: Well, maybe he's a sign. A sign to get that pre-millenium, no strings, no commitment kiss? Come on, the guy has experience. I mean, take a chance. Have an adventure.",
"Joey: That's what the fortune teller said to do. To say yes to every opportunity that crosses my path.",
"Jack: And throw conscious to the wind. Come on. Go talk to him. *Cut to Jen helping Grams set up a booth with quilts and other decorations.*",
"Grams: I appreciate your help, Jen. I know that you must have better things to do.",
"Jen: (laughs) The funny thing is, Grams, that I don't.",
"Grams: Are you sure you can't work things out with that nice, young man Ty?",
"Jen: Nope. Sorry. Looks like we're both destined to see the future as single women, Grams.",
"Grams: Ohh... *Jen is folding a quilt and she looks over at a booth and the old guy at it is looking at Grams.*",
"Jen: Grams, Grams, don't look now, but that guy over there at that booth is totally checking you out.",
"Grams: Oh, don't be silly. Someone checking me out, the very idea!",
"Jen: No, I swear to God, he's coming over here right now! *The old guy, Whit Hupley, walks up.*",
"Whit: Evelyn Ryan! Whit Hupley.",
"Grams: Lord in Heavens, I thought you were dead.",
"Jen: (under her breath) Great pick-up line..",
"Whit: Look at you. It must be...30 years.",
"Grams: Has it been that long?",
"Whit: Look, why don't we have dinner together tonight and catch up on old times.",
"Grams: Oh, no! Really. I-I-I-couldn't, but thank you, really, Whit.",
"Whit: Well, if you change your mind, you know where I'm at. *He walks away.*",
"Grams: What?",
"Jen: He's very sexy. Grams! I saw the look in his eyes. He was having impure thoughts about you.",
"Grams: Oh, stop it! Stop that talk right now.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"*Cut to Joey looking at photographs on an exhibit. She turns the corner where Colin is.*",
"Joey: You know your work is really quite remarkable.",
"Colin: Thank you.",
"Joey: Joey. Joey Potter.",
"Colin: Can I buy you a cup of hot chocolate Joey Potter?",
"Joey: That would be lovely. Thank you.",
"Colin: Cool. Let's go. *He walks ahead of her and she turns around and smiles and Jack and he smiles back and she follows him. Cut to Dawson and Miss Kennedy in a room. Dawson's looking at the rolls of film.*",
"Dawson: This is incredible. You've got Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harry Leningdon, where'd you get these?",
"Miss Kennedy: I had them sent down from the Boston archives. You really are a true film buff, aren't you?",
"Dawson: Oh, obsessed, actually. No one's ever understood my tunnel vision. It used to bother me but now, I don't care. Nothing really else matters.",
"Miss Kennedy: Yeah, I can relate, I'm pretty obsessive about my writing. I think it shows in my work, as I'm sure it does yours.",
"Dawson: Um, speaking of my work, I was wondering if you would...",
"Miss Kennedy: Watch your film. I thought you'd never ask. *Cut to Joey walking with Colin.*",
"Joey: My mother was an artist and one of my first memories of my life was her all covered in paint with this serene look on her face. But I just recently began taking lessons.",
"Colin: Wanna sit?",
"Joey: Sure. *They sit down on a bench.*",
"Colin: Look, please don't take this the wrong way, but are you even aware of how unbelievably beautiful you are?",
"Joey: You know you're an incredibly photographer, when did you start taking pictures?",
"Colin: I don't know. I can't remember. I've always been fascinated with faces. How differently they appear in certain light and I made a discovery that there are a few faces that can exute a million different emotions at once. That you can stare at for hours like a work of art.",
"Joey: So you're a freshman at the Art Institute?",
"Colin: Joey, you have the most unbelievably sentuous lips. Kind of like Carol Lindbargh's. *Joey laughs.*",
"Colin: Look, this may be way out of line, but do you think there's any way I could--do you think it would be possible that I could--",
"Joey: Yes?",
"Colin: Photograph you?",
"Joey: (disappointed) Sure. *Cut to Jen looking at a clothespin with a bow on it.*",
"Jen: What is this?",
"Grams: It's a decorative clothespin to put on open potato chip bags.",
"Jen: Of course it is. Grams, he's coming over again and if he asks you to dinner, say yes. *Whit's back carrying a rose.*",
"Whit: I won't take no for an answer. You wouldn't make an old man eat alone.",
"Grams: Actually, I would. Alright, alright, dinner.",
"Whit: Great. Yeah, I'll meet you here at 8 o'clock. *He turns around to leave but turns back and hands Grams the rose. He walks off. Grams turns around and her face falls.*",
"Jen: Grams? What? What's the matter? *Grams shakes her head no.*",
"Jen: If it makes you feel guilty about Gramps, then it shouldn't. I know he'd want you to go on with your life.",
"Grams: No, it's--",
"Jen: What? What is it?",
"Grams: That part of my life is over. There are certain things that you have to say goodbye to. I mean, look at me. I graduated from high school with Whit Hupley, and I look old enough to be his mother.",
"Jen: You know, I think it's time to introduce you to some wonderful women that I know.",
"Grams: Who?",
"Jen: Miss Clairol and Este Lauder. *Cut to Pacey in a police outfit in a huge doghouse with the Skippy puppet on his hand and his other hand over his mouth to cover up him talking for Skippy.*",
"Pacey: (gruff voice) Remember, kids, Captain Skippy says never talk to strangers, always wear your safety belt, and memorize your address and phone number.",
"Kid: Captain Skippy, you're a great big, smelly jerk!",
"Pacey: (gruff voice) I know you are but what am I.",
"Kid: (mocking) I know you are but what am I.",
"Pacey: I know you are but what am I. (gruff voice) And now, Skippy takes big nap. Bye-bye. *Cut to Andie at the fortune teller. She's holding her hand to examine her palm.*",
"Andie: So what do you see? *Madame Zenovich looks up with fear and wind blows the candle out. Cut to Pacey walking towards Andie coming out of Madame Zenovich's.*",
"Pacey: (gruff voice) Hey, Andie, you won't believe it. (He notices she's upset) Hey. What happened? What's wrong?",
"Andie: Nothing, um, I'm fine. I'm just going to go for a walk. *She walks off and Pacey stares after her. Cut to Joey going to sit down by Jack at a picnic table.*",
"Jack: Hey, what happened?",
"Joey: He wants to take my picture for his photo collection. He's a freshman at the Art Institute.",
"Jack: Where?",
"Joey: Community Arts Building. I guess there's some costumes and stuff backstage.",
"Jack: What do you know about this guy?",
"Joey: Nothing. And I don't want to know about him. I don't want to know if he has a girlfriend or a foot fetish or a wrap sheet. And he doesn't know anything about Joey Potter, waitress extraordinare. He's an artist. He's different. He's life-experienced. Maybe I'll learn something from him.",
"Jack: What? The art of french kissing?",
"Joey: It's not about that, Jack! It's about expanding my horizons. I'm having an adventure. I'm having fun.",
"Jack: And I'm going with you.",
"Joey: Jack!",
"Jack: No, there's no arguments! This guy could be a tall, dark psychopath. *Cut to Dawson and Miss Kennedy watching Dawson's movie.*",
"Devon (aKa Sammy): I'm not in love with him. He's my best friend. You. You are some baracuda who needs someone to keep her bed warm.",
"Abby (aKa Kim): You don't even know the first thing about me! And before you make me into the role of the wicked temptress who's trying to seduce your non-boyfriend at least get your facts straight! I told you I am a virgin!",
"Devon (aKa Sammy): Oh, please, we Creeksiders may be provincial but we're not stupid. *Cut to Jen's house. She's coloring Grams' hair.*",
"Jen: Now, Grams, this is the 90s and women today have to protect themselves. You do have contraceptives, don't you?",
"Grams: (starts to get up from the sink) That's it. I'm not going.",
"Jen: Oh, I'm kidding! I'm kidding! Get back here. I predict that this will be an evening filled with old-fashioned romance. Anyways, Whit seems like a really cool guy. I'm sure he has Trojans in his wallet. *Grams mouth drops open. Cut to Joey looking at outfits at the Community Arts place.*",
"Joey: So...what should I wear?",
"Colin: You can wear anything you want. Just think of this as a chance for you to try on a different side of your personality. You know how do you want to see yourself?",
"Jack: This one. Right here. This is it. *He's pointing to a black feathery number. Cut to Joey standing looking unhappy while the camera flashes.*",
"Joey: I feel like a drag queen.",
"Jack: You look great.",
"Colin: Alright, loosen up now, Joey. Now give me a little bit of attitude. Attitude. *Joey is moving her black feather boa around and making different faces.*",
"Jack: Yes!",
"Colin: Yes! Excellent! Alright, you're a Madonna, strutting herself on stage. *Joey flings the boa over her shoulder and smiles.*",
"Colin: Good! Keep that up! Alright, Marilyn Monroe singing \"Happy Birthday\" to JFK. *Joey turns around and looks over her shoulder and smiles.*",
"Colin: Excellent! Yes!",
"Jack: You're the ghost of Catherine and you're waiting for Heathcliff at the end of Wuthering Heights!",
"Colin: Good one.",
"Jack: Thanks.",
"Colin: God, she's beautiful. Are you two just friends?",
"Jack: Yeah, just friends.",
"Colin: Good. Excellent, Joey. Give me one more of those. *Cut to Joey in a new outfit: a leopard coat over a black outfit, posing in numerous ways.*",
"Colin: That's it! That's it, Joey! *She's sitting on the edge of a chair.*",
"Colin: Now, come down. *She slides down to where she's sitting sideways in the chair. Cut to Joey in a new outfit. It's suspenders with a shirt under them and a hat on. The first picture she has a rose between her teeth. One picture she takes one of the suspenders off.*",
"Colin: That's it, Joey! That's it. You are fabulous! I can not wait to get these developed! *They hug*",
"Joey: Thank you. *As they were hugging Joey signaled Jack to leave. They stop.*",
"Colin: You are one diva. *They stand there for a minute, Joey's obviously wanting a kiss, but Colin walks away. Cut to Jen going through Gram's clothes.*",
"Jen: No, nope, no, no, no, definitely not, nope. *Cut to a timelapse and Jen is finishing up the makeup on Grams.*",
"Jen: Grams, dating is just like riding a buck. All you have to do is get back on. (she turns her towards the mirror) Believe me, when he takes one look at you, he won't want to do much talking. *Cut to Pacey at the Winter Fair. He walks up to a table where Madame Zenovich is.*",
"Madame: You should come to see me, young man, and get your fortune told for only five dollar.",
"Pacey: Just curious, when somebody comes to get their fortune told, why can't you just say something nice? Something reassuring? Because I gurantee you that's what they want to hear.",
"Madame: Then that would not be the truth. If one asks for the truth, they must hear the answer.",
"Pacey: Well, I'm not asking.",
"Madame: I think I will tell you anyway. I see a young man that wears a mask that is not his own. To the world he is strong and confident, but beneath the mask is a little boy. Afraid of the world, afraid of everything. He knows that everything he has is lying on a deck of cards. Even the tiniest gust of wind could knock it all down. *Pacey gets up and walks away. Cut to Joey leaving and she's walking by Colin.*",
"Colin: There's something I wanted to--Nah, forget it. It was nothing.",
"Joey: What?",
"Colin: There's something I wanted to--",
"Joey: Yes?",
"Colin: Is your friend Jack dating anyone? *Cut to Joey back at the art exhibit with Jack.*",
"Jack: So, what happened?",
"Joey: Well, he probably would have thrown me on the ground and made passionate love to me if--",
"Jack: If?",
"Joey: He wasn't gay.",
"Jack: What?",
"Joey: He compared me to Madonna and Marilyn Monroe, talk about your red flags.",
"Jack: What?",
"Joey: He's gay. As in three-dollar bill.",
"Jack: You're kidding me.",
"Joey: No. And Jack...you really need to develop some gaydar.",
"Jack: Yeah...and I hear they're giving a training class on that down at the community center!",
"Joey: I'm sorry. I'm new at this.",
"Jack: You? What about me? People look at me like I'm about to start tap-dancing to Bette Midler albums.",
"Joey: Well, this should cheer you up. It turns out a tall, dark stranger's coming into your life.",
"Jack: What?",
"Joey: He wanted to meet you after the fair so I told him you'd meet him at the fire at 11.",
"Jack: You what?! Why?!",
"Joey: Because he's nice, he's smart, he's attractive. What's your problem? Go out with him!",
"Jack: Look, just because there's a second homosexual in Capeside, it doesn't mean that I'm obligated to go out with him, Joey! *Cut to the movie finishing while Miss Kennedy and Dawson were watching it.*",
"Dawson: So, what'd you think?",
"Miss Kennedy: It's fine.",
"Dawson: Fine? *Miss Kennedy nods.*",
"Dawson: Come on, your opinion is really important to me. I really want to learn so..",
"Miss Kennedy: You want my honest opinion?",
"Dawson: Yeah, don't hold back.",
"Miss Kennedy: Are you sure you want the truth?",
"Dawson: (hesitant) Yeah...",
"Miss Kennedy: Okay, then I'm not going to sugarcoat it, Dawson. I think your film is completely uninspired. I mean the production line is flat, the storyline is non-existent, even your dialogue is not believable.",
"Dawson: It needs more work, I know that.",
"Miss Kennedy: It lacks emotion of any kind and sends no message to the audience.",
"Dawson: If I cut the B storyline?",
"Miss Kennedy: It won't help. It's a proposterous soap opera about a bunch of teenagers who talk too much. I mean, we've seen it before. All that self-aware, self-referential, hyperboles, filled with cliches that are disguised as send-ups. It actually borders on plagerism.",
"Dawson: This is only my second film though. I'm still learning.",
"Miss Kennedy: Look, Hollywood's tough. They don't hand out rejection with a box of chocolates. It's real, it's harsh, and it hurts. You're sweet, Dawson, and you're just the type of person Hollywood eats for breakfast. And it would break my heart to see that happen to you.",
"Dawson: Thank you for your honesty.",
"Miss Kennedy: I'm sorry Dawson. *Cut to Jack sitting down by Joey and handing her a cup of hot chocolate.*",
"Joey: Thanks.",
"Jack: I'm sorry, Joey. I overreacted. I know that I should be moving forward with this whole sexual identity but the truth is I'm just not ready. Not yet.",
"Joey: Well, we've got a whole lifetime of adventures ahead of us, right? Plenty of time for romance. *Jack kisses her on the forehead.*",
"Jack: Plenty of time to be kissed. Come here. *They snuggle up together. Cut to Dawson walking sadly at the fair. He spots Miss Kennedy getting into a car with his dad. They drive off. Dawson spots Joey selling one of her pieces of art to a guy and his daughter. Dawson smiles. Then Jack runs up to Joey and they hug about it. Dawson's face falls and he walks on. Cut to Pacey sitting next to Andie by the fire.*",
"Pacey: Alright, Andie, tell me what happened.",
"Andie: I just wanted to know that things would get better but they're not. She said the troubles of my past are only a preview of what's to come. I need to know that the worst is behind me, Pacey, because I don't know if I can take anymore unhappiness.",
"Pacey: Andie? How can you take the word of a five dollar carnie seriously. Your future is going to be so bright and so magnificent that it's going to be off the scale. There's no measure for how wonderful your life is going to turn out.",
"Andie: I wish that I could believe that.",
"Pacey: You don't have to. I'll believe it for you. *Pacey kisses her hand and they sit by the fire. Cut to Joey walking towards Colin by the fire.*",
"Joey: Hey. Colin? I'm sorry but Jack isn't coming and I really didn't have any right to accept for him.",
"Colin: Ah, it's alright.",
"Joey: Are you okay?",
"Colin: What? This? Yeah.",
"Joey: Are you sure?",
"Colin: Actually, I'm on the proverbial rebound. I just broke up with someone and, um, we were friends a long time before that but now I don't have the relationship or the friend. I guess I was just trying to fill a void.",
"Joey: Can I ask you something?",
"Colin: Yeah.",
"Joey: Why did the two of you break up?",
"Colin: You know, at the time, I could think of about a million reasons, but now I can't think of any. Does that make any sense?",
"Joey: Yeah, uh, more than you could imagine.",
"Colin: You know, sometimes I wish I wasn't in such a big hurry to move forward, there just comes a point when it's impossible to go back. *He kisses her on the cheek.*",
"Colin: Goodnight! *Cut to Jen walking around. She spots Grams.*",
"Jen: Grams? Grams? What's the matter, Grams? Where's Whit?",
"Grams: Oh, his wife wasn't feeling well so he had to cancel.",
"Jen: His wife?",
"Grams: Mm-hm.",
"Jen: I'm so sorry. I should never have pushed you into going out with him.I had no idea. Are you okay?",
"Grams: I'm fine.",
"Jen: I feel like crap.",
"Grams: Well, you shouldn't. You did something wonderful for me today. Ever since your grandfather died, I assumed I'd done all the living I was meant to do but now I realize I can't live in the past. I need to open up to new people, new friends.",
"Jen: Do you ever--Do you ever get afraid of facing the future alone?",
"Grams: Oh, sometimes.",
"Jen: Me too. *Cut to Dawson walking to Madame Zanovich as she's closing.*",
"Dawson: Five dollars, right?",
"Madame: I'm closed.",
"Dawson: You're closed. Of course you are. I'm sorry. I already practically know what my future is anyways. Dawson Leery is destined to live a life of misery and die loveless, friendless, and in complete obscurity.",
"Madame: Dare not the spirits for they are powerful and unforgiving. (She sits down next to him and pulls out her deck of cards and takes one). Ah, the Lovers. Very interesting. A soulmate walks into your path, one you have none for many a lifetime before this one. She knows you well. She sees into your soul. She feels your pain.",
"Dawson: She blew me off.",
"Madame: No. She's here. She's around you.",
"Dawson: Then why do I keep losing her?",
"Madame: That which is lost can not be found again. *Dawson looks up at the sky and then reaches for his wallet.*",
"Dawson: Thanks. *He turns to pay her but she's gone. Cut to Dawson standing in his room staring at the model of Capeside. He gets up and he makes half of it fly across the room and hit the wall. Cut to Joey staring up at Dawson's house through his window, but she doesn't see Dawson. Cut to Dawson, trying to call Joey, nobody's home. Cut to Joey turning away from Dawson's and rowing back towards her house. Cut back to Dawson sitting by his window and clutching his knees. Cut to Joey walking towards her house. There's a man standing at her door.*",
"Joey: Who's there? *The man turns around and it's Mr. Potter.*",
"Joey: Daddy?"

"(Dawson is showing his film to his mother. It ends. He turns to look at her reaction.)",
"Gail: Dawson, that was ...very impressive. It was moving. It was funny. (pauses) It was real.",
"Dawson: You're just saying that because you're my mother.",
"Gail: No, I'm not! You are incredibly talented.",
"Dawson: (gets up to go turn off the lights) You are incredibly biased. (pauses and turns around) You know what? I had such a distinct and clear vision for this movie. I-I mean, I saw every moment. I heard every word of dialogue. I guess I just...failed to translate that vision onto film ...bring it to life. And what about all the visions that I have for the future? What if I can't bring those to life either?",
"Gail: Sweetheart, the trick is to stay tenacious. Not to let any minor, (looks at the screen) and in this case, very minor, setback derail your vision.",
"Dawson: I supposed I could re-edit it.",
"Gail: There you go. Your movie may not be Citizen Kane ...but it's no Bride of Chucky either.",
"Dawson: The way my film teacher described it, you'd think it was the worst, most expensable, piece of junk ever captured on film.",
"Gail: Ah, honey, that is just one person's opinion. (She walks towards the door and turns around) Speaking of teachers at your school, how's your father enjoying his new profession?",
"Dawson: He likes it, I think. I mean, it's weird to see him in the teacher's lounge ...consorting with the enemy. (pauses) You really miss him, don't you?",
"Gail: Yeah. (pauses) Lately more than ever.",
"Dawson: Well, if you know what you want, maybe you should take some of your own advice.",
"Gail: (smiles) Maybe...",
"(She walks out of the room. Cue opening credits.",
"(Cut to Joey watching her dad cook breakfast.)",
"Mr.Potter: 'Morning Joey. Hope you're hungry. I think I might have overdone it here.",
"Joey: Dad...",
"Mr.Potter: I am so glad to be home. I never thought making breakfast for my two daughter's would make me so happy.",
"Joey: I thought, for sure, that I would wake up this morning and discover that last night was just a dream...",
"Mr.Potter: It's all over, Joey. I'm not going anywhere ever again.",
"(Bessie walks in.)",
"Bessie: Hey Dad. I was thinking with the catering and expanding our hours, our finances are going to be straightened out in no time. (sees Joey) Joey! Good morning!",
"Mr.Potter: Your sister and I were up this morning scheming up ways to turn up a profit with the restaurant.",
"Bessie: Remember my friend Pam? She's getting married this Saturday at the Atheneom and the caterer fell through and--",
"Mr.Potter: Icehouse to the rescue.",
"Bessie: So do you think you could ask a few of your friends to work as servers?",
"Joey: (shocked and trying to digest everything) Sure...",
"Mr.Potter: Give me my grandson (reaching for Alexander.) C'mere. (Takes him out of the room)",
"Bessie: Isn't this exciting? I mean, we're finally on our way to getting out of debt!",
"Joey: Are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, we're not an upscale catering service. We grill cheeseburgers!",
"Bessie: Don't worry ...with Dad's help we'll be fine.",
"(Mr. Potter walks back into the room.)",
"Mr.Potter: We're the Potters. We're quick studies and we always land on our feet, right?",
"(Bessie takes Alex back and Mr.Potter looks at Joey's worried face.)",
"Mr.Potter: Joey, I'm the father. It's my job to do the worrying. Your days of worrying are over. (pauses) I missed you so much.",

"Joey: I missed you, too.",
"Mr.Potter: We're a family again. Everything's going to be better. You'll see.",
"(Bessie smiles, agreeing.)",
"Mr.Potter: You'll see.",
"(Joey's face drops to a face clouded with worry. Cut to Jack and Joey walking out on the schoolyard.)",
"Jack: (confused) Since when do we cater weddings?",
"Joey: (speaking quickly) Since my father got paroled and took over the restaurant.",
"(Jack stops. He stares at Joey questioning the situation and her reaction to the situation.)",
"Joey: Yeah, I know. Yeah, I walked home last night ...and, ah, found him standing on the porch.",
"(Jack's is shocked by this and he searches Joey's face for some kind of a reaction to this.)",
"Jack: You must be thrilled (he smiles).",
"Joey: (smiles, looks a little faked) Yeah! I mean...it's ...uh, just a little weird. (pauses) Like I've been broadsided by a bus. A happy bus. But, just reeling from the shock I guess...",
"Jack: Sure! Of course. (studies her expression) Something's wrong.",
"(She looks at him and she shows that there is. She walks towards a bench and sits down.)",
"Joey: Jack...I don't know..",
"(He sits down beside her.)",
"Joey: Last night I was laying in bed, I couldn't sleep. I was shaking. (pauses) I have a pit in my stomach the size of a granade and...I've seen my dad one time in three years. I mean, we can't just pick up where we left off. This whole catering plan is just compounding my anxiety. I mean, all the blue-bloods of Capeside are going to be at this wedding. I mean, this isn't the most low profile setting for my father to reemerge into society.",
"Jack: Yeah. Maybe you need to tell your father that this catering plan is ill-conceived. Too much, too soon, you know? And I think that you need to deal with this reunion with your father on a personal level before you do it in public.",
"Joey: You should have seen Bessie's face this morning ...she was so excited. I don't want to rain on their parade.",
"Jack: Well, don't worry. (pauses and leans in close to her) I'll be there.",
"(Joey smiles. Cut to Pacey and Dawson walking down the halls.)",
"Dawson: So I think I'm going to go back and re-edit the ending because I'm thinking maybe I just put the pieces together wrong, you know?",
"(Pacey shrugs. Dawson spots his father with his film teacher in the teacher's lounge.)",
"Dawson: You know, it's bad enough that my parents are separated and my mother is heartbroken, should I really have to be subjected to this?",
"Pacey: Well ...she does have certain assets, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Pacey!",
"Pacey: I'm sorry, bro! But--",
"(Jack walks up and interrupts.)",
"Jack: Hey guys. Did Joey talk to you yet?",
"Dawson: About what?",
"Jack: Well, the Icehouse is catering a wedding on Saturday and we need some extra hands. (raises his eyebrows like meaning 'You interested?') It'd pay $60 for the day.",
"Pacey: Sold! For $60 I'd carry your ass!",
"Jack: Well, ...that won't be necessary.",
"Dawson: The Icehouse is catering weddings now?",
"Jack: Yeah, Mr. Potter's brainchild.",
"Dawson: (confused) Mr. Potter?",
"Jack: Mm-hm. You--(realizing) oh, Joey's dad got paroled yesterday.",
"Dawson: (his eyes bug in shock) Really?",
"Jack: Yeah...he's back home.",
"Dawson: Wow...",
"(The bell rings and Jack makes motions like he needs to be going and he leaves. Dawson stands there absorbing everything for a minute, sighs and then goes into class. Cut to the girl's bathroom. Abby is putting on a horrid feathery black jacket over her outfit. Jen walks in.)",
"Jen: I figured I'd find you in here. Abby, could I, um, talk to you for a second?",
"Abby: Funny. I've been under the misconception that we weren't speaking. After Dawson's movie wrapped, I figured you had no use for me.",
"Jen: (sighs) You know, you're right. Nevermind. (walks towards the bathroom door and out) See you later.",
"Abby: (follows) No! Jen, wait!",
"Jen: Abby, I woke up this morning ...so frustrated. Like, all I wanted to do was climb the walls or, or light the place on fire.",
"(Abby starts laughing.)",
"Jen: No, it's not funny. I am so serious, I am so tense. And I am so ...just bored. And I feel like I'm going berserk. I feel like I'm going berserk here.",
"Abby: Well, Jen, there was once this scientific experiment where they put this rat in this small box without any of it's ...rat toys or sawdust or stimulation. Well, eventually, the rat started gnawing off his own feet.",
"(Jen laughs.)",
"Abby: You are that rat. Capeside's the box. Need I say more?",
"Jen: I mean, I've tried changing my image. And if no one here's going to accept me, what's the point in living this pristine and tedious existence, you know? And then, thinking back on all the fun times I've had this year ...I've had them with you.",
"(Abby laughs.)",
"Abby: I think that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.",
"(Jen smiles.)",
"Jen: So, then, what do rats do for fun on the weekend?",
"Abby: Oh, I don't know, but, you know us rats. We can always sniff out something (smiles).",
"(They laugh and turn to go into their class.)",
"Abby: Late again.",
"(Cut to Andie and Pacey walking out the door of school.)",
"Pacey: 60 bucks for you, 60 bucks for me equals 120 dollars.",
"Andie: Do you have an abacas in your pocket or did you just add that in your head?",
"Pacey: What I was thinking is a trip to New York, dinner, catch a show, then a nice romantic carriage ride through the park, what do you say?",
"Andie: On $120?! What decade do you think we're living in?",
"Pacey: Alright, not the Big Apple but how about a nice romantic evening here in Capeside.",
"Andie: I hate weddings. Bridesmaids in hideous dresses, people getting all gooey...it's too sentimental for me.",
"Pacey: Too sentimental for you? A girl who just yesterday was brought to tears by a Nike commercial.",
"Andie: Well, I draw the line at weddings. The whole institution of marriage is an antiquated construct. I think that if a couple wants to stay together, they should do so by choice. I mean, all those sweeping vows and public ceremony, it just sets people up to fail miserably!",
"Pacey: I know you have issues where this is concerned, but you've never been to a wedding with me. You come with me on Saturday. If by the end of the night, you're not convinced that they are the most beautiful ritual that mankind has ever created, I'll let you keep the money. All of it. Yours and mine.",
"Andie: Hm. I have been itching to buy a new pair of Nikes that I just recently saw advertised...",
"Pacey: Andie McPhee, your days as a wedding cynic are numbered.",
"Andie: Ah, we'll see about that one.",
"(They hit their bottles of water together and then take a drink.)",
"(Cut to Joey coughing talking to her dad.)",
"Joey: I think...that you may have overdone that on the horseradish. It did clear my sinuses though.",
"(Mr. Potter spots Dawson.)",
"Mr.Potter: Dawson Leery, I thought for sure that when I came back you two would be (missed word), what happened?",
"Joey: Long story.",
"Mr.Potter: Hello, Dawson!",
"(They shake hands.)",
"Dawson: Mr. Potter.",
"Mr.Potter: You're a sight for sore eyes.",
"Dawson: Thank you, congratulations, welcome back!",
"Mr.Potter: Thank you. (pauses) You're looking good.",
"Dawson: Thank you.",
"Mr.Potter: You kids are all grown up. It's amazing, but let's catch up later. I have a horseradish issue to deal with.",
"Dawson: Ah..",
"Joey: We're catering a wedding.",
"Dawson: I know. I told Jack I could help out.",
"Mr.Potter: Good! Tell your parents I said hello.",
"Dawson: You'll actually be able to tell them yourself. They'll be guests at the wedding on Saturday.",
"(Mr.Potter smiles and goes back into the kitchen. Dawson looks at Joey and raises his eyebrows.)",
"Dawson: Wow! So your dad's back? How long have you known?",
"Joey: Total surprise.",
"Dawson: (sympathetic) That's got to be a lot to deal with. (concerned) How are you doing?",
"Joey: (she stares almost in a daze into his eyes and snaps out of it) I'm okay.",
"Dawson: Okay?",
"Joey: I mean, I was kind of on an emotional overload this morning, but, uh, I ran into Jack and with his typically intuitive insight, he was able to calm me down.",
"Dawson: (seems a little envious of Jack, smiles fakely) Great!",
"Joey: I was looking for you ...but then I had to cut school early to come here to help out.",
"(Awkward pause.)",
"Joey: Taste this. (she turns around and grabs a plate) Horseradish and (missed word) salmon. We're serving it at the wedding.",
"(She puts the fork up towards his mouth when they overhear a conversation between two women at a nearby table.)",
"Woman #1: ...what he did to their mother? He cheated on her while the poor woman was dying of cancer! I don't think he should ever be allowed back into Capeside. I mean, he's a drug dealer!",
"Woman #2: Shhh! Keep your voice down!",
"(Cut back to Dawson and Joey. Joey's obviously upset by this)",
"Dawson: Well, that's Capeside for you.",
"Joey: (talking fast, the way she always does when she's trying to escape something) You know, I gotta get back into the kitchen but thank you for helping out this weekend!",
"(She walks back towards the kitchen.)",
"Dawson: Joey! (pauses) Joey!",
"(Commercials. Cut to Joey giving orders before the wedding.)",
"Joey: Okay, Pacey and Andie, I need you to take care of the wedding cake and arrange the tables. (they nod) Jack and Dawson, if you guys could take care of the champagne and the appetizers. (they nod) (to all) And if there are any catastrophes, you can come to me. I'll either be in the kitchen or out on the floor.",
"(Bessie walks in.)",
"Joey: Bessie, the guests are already starting to arrive. We're going to survive this, right?",
"Bessie: Of course we will! Just relax, and breathe.",
"Joey: I don't have time to breathe...",
"(Joey starts turning the corner and Dawson follows her holding two champagne bottles.)",
"Dawson: Joey! About those women at the Icehouse...",
"Joey: What about them, Dawson? They're just a bunch of Capeside's ignoramuses. What do they know? I mean, it's bound to happen when your father's an infamous philanderer and drug dealer.",
"Dawson: Are you okay, though? I'm worried about you.",
"(Joey quickly snaps towards him, obviously jumpy and stressed.)",
"Joey: I'm fine! Dawson, I'm fine. Honestly, I don't care about those idiotic women, there are 100 people out there, waiting to eat, and at this point, getting them fed is the only thing on my mind!",
"(She walks off quickly and Dawson looks after her and sighs. Cut to Dawson out on the floor serving glasses of champagne. He runs into his mother.)",
"Gail: Hey, Dawson. Have you seen your father?",
"Dawson: No, I haven't.",
"Gail: Well, you were right that I should take some of my own advice. I've decided that this has gone on long enough. I'm going to get your father back.",
"Dawson: (smiles) Well, you look beautiful.",
"Gail: Thanks, honey.",
"(She kisses him on the cheek and walks past as Dawson glances at the entrance and sees his father with his film teacher. He looks back at his mom, who is also noticing. Dawson accidentily knocks over the last champagne glass standing and he goes to clean up the mess. Cut to Andie and Pacey wheeling in the cake into a room.)",
"Pacey: Isn't this romantic, sweetheart? I mean, can't you just feel the anticipatory excitement in the air? Two young lovers about to be united in the bounds of holy matrimony. I'm getting goosebumps, how about you?",
"Andie: Yeah, don't push me. I've got a cake knife in my hand, Pacey.",
"Pacey: (laughs) Okay, let's just finish this thing off and we can get out there and watch the ceremony.",
"Andie: I'm not watching the ceremony.",
"Pacey: Sure, you are. You can watch it from my lap.",
"Andie: Yeah, right, in your dreams.",
"Pacey: You know, I wish I had money like these people. When someone in my family gets married, you end up wearing polyester, they serve fishsticks for appetizers, and the whole thing winds up in a drunken brawl. That's why I like to make moments like this perfect. Beautiful location, best champagne, and every penny in place.",
"Andie: It may look perfect, but stretch beneath the surface and you will find distrangement, despair, and dysfunction. I mean, at least your family's imperfection reflects reality. My family, we look perfect, but on the inside we're falling apart.",
"Pacey: You're just a regular Polyanna today, aren't ya? Go easy on the sunshine, sister.",
"Andie: (angry) Alright, Pacey. I told you I didn't want to come to this wedding. I told you it would only put me in a bad mood, and you forced me to come. So you know what? Now you're going to have to deal with the consequences--",
"(She moves her hands out to prove her point and she knocks over the top layer of the cake which smashes to the ground. Joey saw the cake drop and she closes her eyes and sighs.)",
"Andie: Ahh..",
"Pacey: Oh, dear lord...",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"(Cut to Dawson going into the room where the bride's at. She's sitting in a chair, obviously upset.)",
"Dawson: (surprised) Hi.",
"Pam: Hi...",
"Dawson: Are you okay?",
"Pam: I think I'm having a heart attack.",
"Dawson: D-do you want me to get somebody?",
"Pam: No! Don't get anybody! Just help me get this window open (she goes over to a window.)",
"Dawson: Wh-What are you trying to do?",
"Pam: (hesitantly) Can you keep a secret?",
"Dawson: Yeah..",
"Pam: I'm not going through with this. I can't get married.",
"Dawson: W-why not?",
"(Pam starts crying.)",
"Pam: I want to diieee....oh, please, just let me die...",
"Dawson: What's the matter? Don't you love him?",
"Pam: I don't know. That's the thing. What if I marry him and it's the biggest mistake of my life?",
"Dawson: I-I don't know what to say...",
"(Dawson just kinda stares at her wondering how the world he got himself into this mess. Cut to Jen's house. Abby and Jen are in Jen's room.)",
"Grams: Jennifer! Would you please turn that down!",
"Jen: Sorry, Grams!",
"Abby: (mocking) Jennifer! Would you please turn that down!",
"(They laugh)",
"Abby: I'm bored.",
"Jen: What do you want to do tonight, huh? I'm determined to have a blast no matter what.",
"Abby: I don't know. I think we're in desperate need of the 3 B's: booze, boys, (tries to think of the other, starts over)...booze, boys..",
"(Jen laughs.)",
"Abby: Well, that's only two B's. So what are Dawson and those other lame excuses for teenagers doing tonight?",
"Jen: The Icehouse is catering this wedding at the Atheneom...everybody's there. Guess nobody thought to invite me. I guess I'm not really part of the 'inner circle'.",
"Abby: The Atheneom? Free champagne, older guys in tuxedos...me likes.",
"Jen: One problem, Abby. Lack of invitation.",
"Abby: Well, an invitation has never stopped me before. I say we get really dressed up, and crash that wedding. We'll show Dawson and his little click a wedding they'll never forget.",
"(They laugh. Cut to the people in the ceremony looking at their watches, waiting. Cut to Dawson in the room with the crying bride.)",
"Dawson: Okay, I don't want to put any pressure on you but the ceremony is about to start...you've really got to make a decision.",
"Jack: (from outside the door) Hey Dawson!",
"Dawson: (to Pam) Hold on! I'll handle this.",
"(Dawson opens the door.)",
"Jack: Were you in there long enough?",
"Dawson: Well, we've got a little problem. The bride wants to jump out the window.",
"Jack: Where is she?",
"Dawson: She's in there. She's hysterical. We might have to cancel the wedding.",
"Jack: Let me talk to her.",
"Dawson: I really don't think you could do any good right now.",
"Jack: Where is she?",
"(Dawson opens the door and the place where Pam was sitting is empty.)",
"Dawson: She was right there.",
"(They look at the closed bathroom door. Cut to Joey in the kitchen. Bessie walks in.)",
"Joey: Where's Dad?",
"Bessie: Why? What's happening?",
"Joey: This wedding is rapidly becoming a disaster. Jack and Dawson disappeared. Pacey and Andie just ruined the cake and the food isn't even ready yet.",
"Bessie: Joey, just calm down. Everything's going to be okay.",
"Joey: No, Dawson's right! I mean, Bessie, we have enough to deal with now that Dad's back without taking on this wedding! We were so blinded by all of a sudden paying back our debts that we overlook the now painfully obvious reality that we have no idea what we're doing!",
"Bessie: It's not that bad! Everything's under control. We're just experiencing a few glitches.",
"Joey: A few glitches? Bessie, we're going to ruin this wedding and humiliate ourselves, again, in front of all of Capeside! It's the story of our lives.",
"Bessie: No! It's not over yet. We can do this. I don't think we should get Dad all worked up about it?",
"Joey: Why not?! This was his bright idea in the first place! He tore our family apart and he thinks he can just put it back together in a day, well, he can't!",
"(Bessie's face drops and she turns around and walks out of the room and Joey closes her eyes and slowly turns around hoping she won't see who she thinks she will. Her father overheard the whole conversation.)",
"(Cut to people impatiently awaiting for the ceremony to begin. Cut to Dawson and Jack leaned against the door of the bathroom.)",
"Jack: If you don't open up the door, I'm going to have to get your mother.",
"(Dawson gives him a look.)",
"Jack: It was worth a try.",
"(All of a sudden they hear something. They move away and open the door.)",
"Jack: Hey! How you doin'?",
"Pam: I'm going to be sick.",
"Jack: Are you havin' second thoughts?",
"Pam: I keep thinking...what if Alan isn't my soulmate? What if my soulmate is still out there and I just haven't met him yet? And now, I'm giving up my one chance for perfect love.",
"Jack: You could spend your whole life looking for perfect love, and I promise you. You'll never find it.",
"(She starts crying again.)",
"Jack: No! It's-it's-because love isn't perfect! Everyone's flawed. Including you. Including Alan. But Alan loves you, and that love is real. Are you sure you want to walk away from something that's real? For a dream that may not even exist?",
"(She smiles. Jack smiles.)",
"Jack: C'mon. You're just suffering from an acute case of the wedding day jitters. It wouldn't be a wedding without em. It's a tradition! It's like throwing a bouquet or taking off the garter. Besides, I bet when you start to walk down that aisle, and you look into Alan's eyes, all your fears are just going to dissolve away.",
"(Cut to Pam walking down the aisle. Cut to Mitch looking over at Gail. Cut to Dawson looking at Joey, she looks back at him and smiles. Cut to Pam walking up to Dawson and Jack.)",
"Pam: (to Jack) I don't even know you, but you saved my life. Thank you.",
"(She kisses him on the cheek.)",
"Pam: I'm so happy.",
"(She walks off.)",
"Dawson: Okay, I talk to her for 20 minutes and she wants to jump out of a window, you come in and in two minutes, you save her marriage. (confused) How do you do that?",
"Jack: Well, I train with this Indian shamin who lives up in the woods.",
"(They laugh.)",
"Jack: I don't know. I guess I just happen to say the right things.",
"Dawson: (pause) There's a time where she used to come to me.",
"Jack: Joey?",
"Dawson: Yeah. Whenever she had bad news or something she wanted to talk about, she would climb through my window and we'd talk for hours and hours. Now she goes to you.",
"Jack: Dawson, I don't think you should draw any conclusions about your relationship with Joey based on something so circumstantial. I may be friends with her...but you're her soulmate.",
"Dawson: You just told the bride you don't believe in soulmates.",
"Jack: I don't believe in perfect love, but I do believe that there are people who's lives are inextricably intertwined, who have a bond that lasts forever. That can never be broken. And she needs you now, man. You're the only one that knows her whole history. You're the only one that knows what she's going through.",
"Dawson: I know! And I keep on reaching out to her but between her pride...and this wedding. It's--I can't connect.",
"Jack: Maybe what she needs is for you to force a connection.",
"(Dawson thinks. Cut to Andie watching at the door to a back room.)",
"Andie: Ohhhh my God! Hurry up, they're coming!",
"(Pacey takes the stuff away from \"the cake\")",
"Pacey: How's it look?",
"(It looks like a blob)",
"Andie: What have you done?! That looks worse!",
"Pacey: Well, I don't know! I'm not a pastry chef, alright?",
"Andie: Oh my God, Pacey!",
"(Pam opens the door.)",
"Pam: Hi!",
"(Andie jumps in front of it.)",
"Andie: Hi!",
"Pam: Is the cake back here? I want to see it.",
"Andie: No, it's--it's...it's very bad luck for the bride to see her wedding cake on an empty stomach!",
"Pam: Really? What will happen?",
"Andie: She'll get fat!",
"Pam: Ohh.",
"Andie: They say.",
"Pam: I've only heard that the...top layer of the cake represents the marriage.",
"(Andie's eyes get huge.)",
"Pam: (cont.) We're supposed to put it in the freezer for good luck and (getting teary-eyed) eat it on our first anniversary.",
"Andie: Awwww.",
"(Pam turns and leaves. Andie shuts the door.)",
"Andie: Did you hear that? That's an omen! If their marriage breaks up it will be our fault.",
"Pacey: Our fault? I think you mean your fault. It was your wild instrictulations that sent this baby flying in the first place.",
"Andie: Ohhh God, when she comes in to cut the cake she's going to be horrified! I should not have come. Not only have I wrecked their wedding, but I've put a curse on their marriage!",
"Pacey: Andie, would you settle down! Weren't you the one that was just yelling about anti-symbolism anyhow?",
"Andie: Yeah, but her wedding day is supposed to be perfect! I mean, look at that cake! And the little itsy bitsy groom is covered in frosting...",
"Pacey: (squints his eyes at her) I knew it. (pauses) I'm not working on this cake for one more minute until you admit to me that you're a closet romantic.",
"Andie: I am not. I already told you. It's a bogus, sentimental convention.",
"(Pacey walks towards the door and holds it open.)",
"Andie: Oh my God, the groom! Pacey! (through clenched teeth) Come on!",
"(Pacey raises his eyebrows and shakes his head no.)",
"Andie: Okay! I admit it, you're right. I'm a sucker for taffeta, the sight of the little flower girl makes me weepy! I'm a wedding fanatic! There! Are you happy?",
"(Pacey smiles and walks back towards the cake.)",
"Andie: Hurry up. The cake.",
"(Cut to Mr.Potter finishing up some plates and Joey walks in and sets her tray down.)",
"Joey: Hi Dad.",
"Mr.Potter: Hey. I think we're pretty much caught up here. The Potter's will find a way.",
"Joey: It looks amazing.",
"Mr.Potter: When you spend three months alone in a prison cell, it can make you monstrously self-absorbed. I never even considered how my presence here would adversely effect you.",
"Joey: I'm really stressed out. I didn't mean any of those things.",
"Mr.Potter: Well, whether you did or didn't, you were completely right. You two have been so strong. You've done so well and here comes your criminal father, coming back to Capeside to bring you more shame and scandal.",
"Joey: You can't expect to come back and have everything be back to normal again. Things have changed and I think we need to deal with this as a family before we invite in the malignous scrutiny of total strangers...",
"Mr.Potter: I'm the father. I'm the one who's supposed to be protecting you against all the harsh realities of the world and here you are protecting me. Yet again I'm failing in my parental duties.",
"Joey: Please don't say that.",
"Mr.Potter: I better go check on that salmon...",
"(He leaves. Cut to Gail taking a glass of champagne from someone.)",
"Gail: Thank you.",
"(Dawson walks up.)",
"Dawson: How you doin', Mom?",
"Gail: Dawson, who is that woman with your father?",
"Dawson: That would be my film teacher at school. The notorious one who told me that my film was insipid.",
"(Mitch and the film teacher start to head over.)",
"Gail: How long has he been seeing her?",
"Dawson: I don't know.",
"Mitch: Hello, Gail. This is Nicole.",
"(Gail gives her an evil look.)",
"Mitch: And of course you know Dawson.",
"(Dawson manages a smile.)",
"Nicole: Well, it was a lovely wedding, wasn't it?",
"Gail: Honey, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go find my seat.",
"Dawson: Okay. Dad, can I talk to you for a second?",
"Mitch: Yeah.",
"(They walk away.)",
"Mitch: Dawson, I know this is awkward for you. Truthfully, I didn't know you were going to be here.",
"Dawson: That's not the point, Dad. You knew that Mom was going to be here.",
"Mitch: Nicole is a colleague. She's smart and she's funny and I enjoy spending time with her and if your mother has a problem with that she's going to have to deal with it. I have to live my life.",
"(He notices he's getting too loud and some people are starting to watch. He pauses and starts quieter.)",
"Mitch: I'm sorry. The last thing I want to do is put you in the middle.",
"Dawson: Well, that's exactly what you're doing by dating teachers from my school.",
"(Cut to Abby and Jen standing idly behind the tables at the wedding.)",
"Jen: Abby, there are no cute guys here. It's totally the middle age set.",
"Abby: I think you need a father figure, Jen. Somebody who has more sexual experience than you, if that's possible.",
"Jen: Oh, shut up.",
"Abby: I'm just kidding.",
"Jen: I'm sure that they're all married.",
"Abby: Well, maybe it's time to graduate from nymphet to homewrecker. Cheers.",
"Jen: Cheers.",
"(They hit their champagne glasses together and Andie walks up to them.)",
"Abby: Oh, look. Love the outfit, Andie. You look like a little penguin.",
"Andie: What are you guys doing here?",
"Abby: Raising hell, what are you doing here?",
"Andie: Okay, look, I don't think it's a very good idea for you guys to be here, okay? This is a romantic occasion, please don't ruin it!",
"Abby: Oh, well we'll just keep you company then.",
"Andie: Look, we're in the middle of handling a crisis here. We don't need this kind of distraction.",
"(She starts dragging them towards the door.)",
"Abby: (confused) Are you kicking us out?",
"Andie: Yes! This is not a tailgate party, it's a wedding! It's invitation only and your being here is going to get us all in trouble so please just leave.",
"Abby: Geez, you might want to try upping the dosage on those mood stabilizers!",
"Andie: The exit is that way.",
"Jen: Listen Abby, why don't we just go on down to the boardwalk and we'll come back after dinner when everyone's a little more toasted and not so uptight.",
"(They walk towards the door and Abby grabs a bottle of champagne out of a bucket and turns back to Andie.)",
"Abby: For the road...buh-bye!",
"(She leaves and Andie angrily walks back towards the back room. Cut to Dawson carrying some cups into the back. He finds Joey in a room.)",
"Dawson: Joey, what's wrong?",
"Joey: Nothing.",
"Dawson: Joey, you've been crying. Don't tell me nothing's wrong. I know you.",
"Joey: Dawson, it's just been a really hectic day, I'm fine.",
"(Dawson looks at her and she looks him in the eye and tries to prove she is fine but she can't and she looks down and gives in.)",
"Joey: I'm just really scared.",
"(Dawson seems almost relieved that she's telling him.)",
"Joey: I just get him back and what if he hurts me again? I can't keep getting my heart broken by him.",
"Dawson: (comforting) Joey...",
"Joey: I can't...",
"Dawson: I think in the back of your mind, you've always felt that as soon as your father got back, everything would be fine. Life would be perfect. I think your father probably felt the same way, too. As soon as he got back he could just clean up every mess, right every wrong, but ...he can't. You two are both suffering under the burden of such impossibly high expectations right now and all this hurt and pain and anger that you're feeling isn't going to just disappear ...and that's okay.",
"(She looks at him, questionably.)",
"Dawson: Joey, for these past three years you have been so unbelievably strong. I mean, you've let the petty gossips and judgements of this town roll right off you. Don't let them get to you now. (pauses) Now's the time to dig in your heels and show them that you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. And...you're not alone in this. You have a father now. You have a family again. And you will always...have me.",
"Joey: (whispers) Thank you.",
"(They hug. Cut to Joey walking back into the kitchen with a tray.)",
"Mr.Potter: Hey! How'd it go out there?",
"Joey: Well, no one's complained of bachelorism yet. I think it went well.",
"(There's a long silence.)",
"Joey: Dad, do you remember Melissa Barry? She always wore her hair on top of her head and a ponytail?",
"Mr.Potter: Yeah, she was a friend of yours.",
"Joey: Yeah...(pauses) the day you were arrested, I was at school in the bathroom in one of the stalls and I overheard her talking about you. About how you were a drug dealer and how we lived in a crack house and she was laughing and, I remember, I was so upset. I ran home and I cried for hours and Dawson came over and he cheered me up. The next day I went to school and I walked up to her and I looked her straight in the eye ...and I smiled and I walked away like nothing ever happened.",
"Mr.Potter: Joey, I'm sorry.",
"Joey: No, that's not my point. People are always going to talk. That's tough and I'll always walk with my head held high and they can't crush me. And I know that you've been through a lot. You've made your mistakes, but...you're my dad. And I'm proud of you. The thing is...protecting your strength from the outside world is one thing...please don't pretend with me and I promise I won't pretend with you. (pauses trying not to cry) But, um, I just wanted to say...I love you and I'm really glad that you're home.",
"(They hug and a tear rolls down Mr. Potter's face.)",
"Joey: Come on. I want to show my dad off to all of Capeside.",
"Mr.Potter: I think you were right before. When it comes to the outside world, I think we should take things slow.",
"Joey: But I don't care about the outside world. I care about you. There's a celebration going on and we have so much to celebrate. Come with me.",
"Mr.Potter: I'm not ready, Joey. Not yet.",
"(He walks off and Joey looks down at the ground. Cut to Pacey and Andie wheeling the cake out.)",
"Pacey: Ahh...so, how's it look?",
"Andie: It--It looks great! Thank you!",
"(She turns to hug him and almost knocks it over again.)",
"Pacey: Wo-wo-wo.",
"Andie: Oh, yeah...we should probably get this on top now.",
"(She starts to lift it and Pacey stops her.)",
"Pacey: Andie, why don't I take care of that for you?",
"(He gets it on and the bride and groom walk up.)",
"Pam: May I..May I see the cake now?",
"(Andie moves out of the way.)",
"Pam: Oh, it's beautiful.",
"(They kiss. Cut to Pam putting cake into Alan's mouth. Cut to Pacey and Andie watching.)",
"Pacey: You must just be disgusted right now with all this sentimental bogus symbolism.",
"Andie: Shut up, Pacey.",
"(Cut to Abby and Jen walking drunkedly up the stairs.)",
"Jen: Do you ever think that you'll get married?",
"Abby: Married? To some beer-swiggling, football-watching bonehead?",
"(Jen laughs.)",
"Jen: Living in some cookie cutter house with two snot-nose little brats. Driving the car pool baby.",
"(They sit on the edge of the docks with their back facing the fall towards the water.)",
"Abby: Grocery shopping.",
"Jen: Climbing the walls.",
"Abby: Popping Valium.",
"Jen: Suburban nightmare.",
"Abby: You know, I don't think I'll ever be happy. Wherever I am, I'll always want to be somewhere else. Whatever I have, I'll always want something different.",
"Jen: I hear ya!",
"Abby: I just don't want to be a cliche.",
"Jen: Or a whore.",
"(Abby laughs and takes the champagne bottle from her.)",
"Abby: Let me have a drink!",
"Jen: Amen!",
"(Abby leans back and loses her balance and falls over and hits her head on one of the wooden poles and drops the champagne bottle. Jen starts laughing like crazy.)",
"Abby: Don't laugh: that hurt, you bitch!",
"(She tries to regain her balance but slips and falls over the back of the dock and falls into the water.)",
"Jen: (Yelling) Abby! Abby!!! Oh my God! Abby!!!!! Abby? Abby!",
"(After surveying the water for any sign of Abby, Jen jumps in after her. Cut to the wedding where everyone's dancing.)",
"Pacey: May I have the pleasure of this dance, Miss McPhee?",
"(She puts her arm in his.)",
"Andie: Pacey, I guess wedding's aren't that bad.",
"Pacey: See, I win. I knew you'd come around.",
"Andie: I think that when we get married ...we should do it in Venice.",
"(Pacey's face falls.)",
"Andie: It's the city of romance. What do you think?",
"Pacey: I think by the time we're married that city will have already sunk into the sea.",
"(Andie gives him a look.)",
"Andie: We'll see.",
"(Cut to Mitch and Nicole dancing. Cut to Gail sitting at a table by herself. Dawson sees her. He walks over.)",
"Dawson: Mom? Will you dance with me?",
"Gail: (smiles) Yes.",
"(They walk out onto the floor.)",
"Dawson: You know, a very wise person told me that knowing what you want is half the battle. The trick is to stay tenacious and never let a minor setback derail your vision.",
"Gail: Thank you, honey.",
"(Cut to Joey and Jack standing beside the dance floor.)",
"Jack: Well, you did it. The wedding was a success.",
"Joey: I'm just glad it's over. I mean, no money in the world is worth this kind of stress.",
"(Jack's face changes as he spots something across the room. Mr.Potter walks out of the kitchen in a tux.)",
"Jack: Joey.",
"(He motions his head for her to look. She sees him and smiles.)",
"Joey: Daddy.",
"(She walks closer and he pulls out one red rose and gives it to her. She smiles.)",
"Mr.Potter: May I have this dance?",
"(They start dancing. Cut to Dawson's face smiling watching Joey dance with her dad. Cut to Bessie walking out of the kitchen and smiling when she sees Joey dancing with her father. Cut to Pacey and Andie dancing then to the bride and the groom dancing. Then back to Joey and her dad.)",
"Mr.Potter: I think there's someone else who wants to dance with you.",
"(Joey looks at him confused and he looks over at Dawson and Gail.)",
"Joey: Dad.",
"Gail: Hello, Mike. Welcome home.",
"Mr.Potter: Thank you. Would you like to dance?",
"Gail: I would love to.",
"(They start dancing and Dawson and Joey look at each other. Joey sighs and wraps her arms around his neck and they start dancing.)",
"Joey: Hey.",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Joey: So, thank you.",
"Dawson: (smiles) For what?",
"Joey: For being my friend, for understanding me better than anyone, and for putting up with me for the last 16 years. (pauses) I love you.",
"Dawson: I love you, too.",
"(They kiss and then they pull away from each other and they lean in and start kissing again. Gail and Mr. Potter notice them and smile. Jack sees them and he smiles. Cut to a zoom out shot of everyone dancing and Dawson and Joey are still kissing on the dance floor. Cut to an ambulance while paramedics are zipping up Abby Morgan, now dead with mud on her face, in a body bag as Jen stands next to the ambulance wrapped in a blanket crying. Zoom out of the shot. Cue ending credits.)"

"Dawson decides to take Joey out to dinner to celebrate their first month together. Mitch Leery also makes reservations at the same restaurant, and when the management fail to realise there are two Leery parties, all four are forced to sit together. Miss Kennedy, Dawson and Joey fight causing Miss Kennedy to leave. Later, Jen (who is now living at the Leery house) arrives with Gail, which inspires a plan to get Gail and Mitch together again. Also reunited are Andie and her deceased brother. Pacey and Jack catch on that she thinks he is with her, but it is just a figment of her imagination. After a showdown with Andie, Jack and Pacey engineer a plan to aid her medical recovery."

"Dawson: (shuts off the movie) Okay...movement break! (He gets up and grabs his bottle of water and looks around the room and starts laughing) Is anyone else struck by the humor of this moment that we're all in the same room at the same time.",
"Jack: (eating popcorn) Yeah, I think it's bizarre...I mean, the way we all started the school year and how we all managed to come out as friends...",
"Andie: Yeah, like St. Elmo's!",
"Joey: St. Elmo's from hell.",
"Dawson: Thought would be a negative spin.",
"Joey: I just think it's important in times of model and reflection to incorporate a little honesty..",
"(Jen sits up.)",
"Jen: You know what? I happen to agree with Joey. I mean, sure, we've all grown to tolerate each other but we're still a long way off from 90210-land of best friends forever.",

"Jack: Yeah, like when?",
"Pacey: (mouthful of popcorn) Like right now, for instance. Have we even stopped to consider why we've all come here together tonight if not our need to go habitate in, dare I say it, a click.",
"(Jen makes a face of disgust.)",
"Joey: Scary...",
"Andie: Yeah, Pacey, when you say it like that...",
"Dawson: Wait a minute, though, I mean no offense to anybody here, but I called up Pacey to invite him over to watch a couple of movies..that hardly qualifies as group hanging out.",

"Pacey: I didn't say that.",
"Jack: He didn't say that!",
"Andie: New hairstyles are judged by immediate response. Yours was lackless.",
"Pacey: No--I--Well, I think you look fantastic, sweetheart.You just don't look like...you?",

"Andie: Think again. I've got to study for finals...not to mention...take care of Mom.",
"Pacey: It's Friday night. You have plenty of time to hit the books over the weekend. What do you say we take tonight off?",
"Andie: You know, you should, YOU should take the the night off, I would love it, but I'm going to study thanks.",
"Pacey: (to Jack) Do I deserve this?",
"Andie: (looking at a textbook) Oh, geez! How could I do this?!",
"Pacey: What?",
"Andie: DAMNIT!",
"Pacey: What's the matter?",

"Joey: So, what's the plan for tonight?",
"Dawson: Uh, I dunno, maybe rent a movie...",
"Joey: Dawson, do you know what we've done for the past four Friday nights? Here's a hint: Be kind, rewind.",
"Dawson: Okay, so maybe we won't rent a movie. We'll watch a movie instead!",
"Joey: (Sarcastically) Har har.",
"Dawson: It's not like I prefer the situation. I mean, I do try to make our evenings as spontaneous as possible.",
"Joey: (smiles) No offense to you, Dawson, but I think because we've been friends for so long and no each other so well...our chemistry, the only thing it doesn't produce is spontaneity.",
"Dawson: Ah, well, that's me. Captain A-Hum-Drum.",
"Joey: I said us.",
"Dawson: You meant me.",
"Joey: I have to admit that I am a little surprised that you're okay with this considering it is our one month anniversary for whatever we are...or were...(smiles) or are.",
"Dawson: Joey, we are boring, trite people. We are absolutely incapable of sponteneity. We do things like plan and organize and make reservations weeks in advance at top-notch restaurants for one-month anniversaries to celebrate whatever it is we are...or were...(smiles) or are.",
"Joey: (smiling and hugs him) You didn't!",
"Dawson: It was going to be a surprise until you got all persnickety on me.",
"Joey: I didn't get persnickety!",
"Dawson: Yeah, it's okay, though! You're a very cute persnickety.",
"Joey: I did not get persnickety.",
"(Dawson smiles and laughs.)",
"Joey: Okay, that was persnickety.",
"(They laugh. Cut to Jen sitting out on the Leery porch staring at Grams' house. Gail walks up.)",
"Gail: You could call her...",
"Jen: Who?",
"Gail: Who do you think?",
"Jen: I just don't think I'd have a whole lot to say to her. And at this point I don't think she'd have a whole lot to say to me either.",
"Gail: Aw, don't say that.",
"Jen: I want to talk to her but...where would it lead? Maybe I'd move back in, a few weeks of considerable reconciliation, and then the inevitable ideology clash. I just accept that there are certain people who aren't meant to fit in your life. No matter how much you want them to be.",
"Gail: I'm infinitely familiar with that predicament.",
"Jen: Oh! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to imply that you and--",
"Gail: No, it's okay, honey. What do you say we just have a night of good food, good music, good conversation, and just put the past on the back burner for awhile.",
"Jen: I'd have to say that's the best offer I've gotten in awhile!",
"(Cut to Mitch and Mrs. Kennedy walking down the street.)",

"(They kiss.)",
"Mitch: Well, that was slightly unexpected.",
"Mrs.Kennedy: It was?",
"Mitch: Yeah.",
"Mrs.Kennedy: Well, we've been spending a lot of time together at school, we've went out on a few dates, it's clear that we enjoy each other's company. It's only natural that things progress.",
"Mitch: You're right, you're right. It's just I'm kind of like teenager about all this in need of a lot of practice.",
"Mrs.Kennedy: Well, the key is not to think about it. Think about how beautiful the evening is, how quaint the restaurant is that we're about to enter, even how romantic a streetlight can be--",
"(Mitch kisses her again.)",
"Mitch: After you my (french word that I missed)",
"Mrs.Kennedy: Ah, merci.",
"(Cut to Dawson and Joey walking hand-in-hand to the restaurant.)",
"Joey: Entre Nous? That's where we're going?",
"Dawson: Yep!",
"Joey: Dawson, that's too expensive.",
"Dawson: Well, the stock market was high, I had a little extra to throw in...",
"Joey: Dawson, seriously. It doesn't matter where we eat...",
"Dawson: Joey, we have been together for one month...I want to take you to a meal in an establishment where (completely missed phrase)...",
"(Joey looks at him like 'What?')",

"Therapist: It's possible that you're experiencing symptoms called complicated grief. Your medical history makes you sort of susceptible to this kind of anxiety on the loss of a loved one.",
"Andie: This doesn't have anything to do with my brother.",
"Therapist: I'm talking about Abby Morgan. Her death seems to have upset you a great deal which ultimately may have triggered unresolved issues with your brother's passing. It's critical that we stay on top of this. Have you seen Abby any other times besides the incident you spoke of a month ago?",
"Andie: No, no...just that one time. In fact, now that I think about it...I may not have seen her at all.",
"Therapist: It's okay if you did, Andie.",
"Andie: No, no, I don't think I did...",
"Therapist: (writing something down) This is my home number. I want you to call me if you feel your anxiety getting worse. Also, I want you in here early next week and we can decide then if you're in need of any medication.",
"Andie: Medication? Uh, but you said that I wouldn't have to go back on?",
"Therapist: It's different now. What's going on inside you, Andie, may not be healing itself properly. The sooner we confront this, the better.",
"(Cut to Andie walking to her car. She gets in and looks over and it's her hallucination of Tim.)",
"Tim: I like your hair.",
"Andie: Thanks.",
"Tim: Did you tell her about me?",
"Andie: (shakes her head no) I couldn't...",
"Tim: That's good. What we have is a secret.",
"Andie: Not for long. They're going to find out about you and then we're going to have to leave each other...",
"Tim: I'm not going anywhere.",
"Andie: Promise me? Because I can't lose you, I don't have this with anyone else. Nobody listens like you do.",
"Tim: I know...",
"Andie: I'm so scared...",
"(She sits there and then starts hitting her hands on the steering wheel.)",
"Andie: WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME? WHY ME? WHY!",
"(She leans on \"Tim\" and they sit there in the car. Cut to Jen carrying in wood for the fire in the Leery house.)",
"Jen: Hey Gail, can I ask you a question that kind of breaks our back burner rule?",
"Gail: Sure.",
"Jen: What kind of hope to you have of the hope of you and Mr. Leery getting back together?",
"Gail: Well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about it everyday.",
"Jen: I mean, have you--did you try to get him back?",
"Gail: I've made a few attempts here and there. But it's pointless, Jen. You can't connive or intice love. By definition it has to find it's way to you.",
"Jen: Dawson said that you got a job offer in Philadelphia...are you going to take that?",
"Gail: I don't know. I'm waiting for that sign.",
"Jen: Sign?",
"Gail: You know, one of those small moments in life that provide some clarity. A little occurance that provides you with where you need to go, who you need to be with, or not be with...",
"Jen: Smoke!",
"Gail: I think that sign's a little extreme.",
"Jen: No, I mean, I smell smoke!",
"Gail: Oh my God! The potroast!",
"Jen: Oh!",
"(They run for the kitchen. Cut to Dawson, Mrs. Kennedy, Mitch, and Joey squeezed around a small table at Entre Nous.)",
"Mitch: I guess we were lucky that they could squeeze us all in together...",
"(A waiter bumps Dawson's chair and he is not looking too happy.)",
"Dawson: I'll say. (sarcastically) Lucky.",
"Mitch: Dawson. Nicole and I were just discussing your summer plans.",
"Mrs.Kennedy: Yes, your father mentioned the possibility of you interning in Hollywood. I'm sure I could set you up with a summer job at an agency or a production company.",
"Dawson: Isn't that the city that you said, and I quote, \"eat me for breakfast\"?",
"Mrs.Kennedy: Look, I'm sorry if I was hasty in my analysis.",
"Dawson: Apology not accepted.",
": Dawson! You don't mean that.",
"Dawson: Yes, I do. I spent months working on that film which you gave two seconds of thought to before annihilating. After which, you proceeded to steer me away from the business as much as possible, but now, since you're dating my father, all of a sudden I'm worthy of an internship.",
"Mrs.Kennedy: You asked me to be truthful, Dawson. Now I may not be a fan of your work, but I am a fan of your enthusiasm. There are plenty of opportunities in the film business, not just creatively speaking.",
"Dawson: Ah, so I'm not creative enough.",
"Mrs.Kennedy: You're misunderstanding me.",
"Dawson: I don't think I am.",
"Waiter: Alright, are you guys ready to order?",
"Mitch: (forces a smile) Uh, yeah.",
"Joey: (to Mitch and Mrs. Kennedy) You guys go ahead. Dawson and I will be right back.",
"(They get up and walk to the bar.)",
"Joey: So this is your idea of a romantic evening?",
"Dawson: Joey, that woman trashed my movie, came this close to crushing all of my career hopes and now she's stealing my dream, what am I supposed to do? Talk about the weather?",
"Joey: Dawson, I know. I realize this. But by letting her get the best of you, you're putting a petty little battle before us and our night. I mean, it's upsetting.",
"Dawson: I'm sorry. Hey, for the sake of our evening, I will rise above.",
"(They kiss.)",
"Dawson: Okay?",
"(Joey turns to see Jen and Gail entering into Entre Nous.)",
"Joey: Oh, no...",
"Dawson: Is this a French restaurant or a French (missed word)?",
"(Cut to Pacey and Andie laying on Andie's bed watching television. Andie's a little fidgety.)",
"Andie: I'm going to go get something to drink.",
"(She gets up and leaves and Pacey stares after her. Cut to Andie in the kitchen, she grabs a glass out of the cupboard and turns to find Tim.)",
"Andie: (angrily) You're late. I thought you'd come earlier.",
"Tim: Are you okay?",
"Andie: Look, we can't talk right now, okay? Pacey's upstairs and I don't want him to find out about--",
"Tim: I don't care about him, Andie. I care about you. And I hate seeing you like this.",
"Andie: Look, you know what? It's just too hard having you both here at the same time, okay?!",
"(Cut back up to Andie's room, Pacey moves to turn the other way on the bed and he moves the pillows and under Andie's he finds a photo album. He flips through a few pages then gets up and heads downstairs. On the way down he hears Andie talking to herself.)",
"Andie: It's not like that, Brown. I can't just tell him. It's not that easy. There are too many repercussions that I'm not ready to deal with. Besides, why do I have to tell him in the first place? Would you understand if you were him?",
"(Cut to Andie's perspective where Tim's there.)",
"Tim: I guess I wouldn't.",
"Andie: Then there's nothing I can do.",
"Tim: Something...(long pause) You can choose.",
"Andie: I won't do that, Brown.",
"(Pacey leaps out from around the corner to see who she's talking to and he finds nobody and he stares at Andie confused. Cut to Jen drinking a Coke at the bar. Joey walks up to her.)",
"Joey: Jen!",
"Jen: J-Joey?",
"Joey: What are you doing here?",
"Jen: I'm here with Gail.",
"Joey: Yeah, we saw.",
"Jen: We?",
"Joey: I'm here with Dawson and his father and....Mrs. Kennedy.",
"Jen: Oh.",
"Joey: Yeah...",
"Jen: Not good...",
"(Joey nods. Jen looks at Mitch sitting at the table by himself.)",
"Jen: Or maybe not so bad.",
"(Joey looks at her confused. Cut to Dawson sitting down by Mitch.)",
"Dawson: Where'd Nicole go?",
"Mitch: To the bathroom.",
"Dawson: Um, I don't know if you watched the entrance just now but um--",
"Mitch: Your mother. I saw her.",
"Dawson: And you're not stressing out about this?",
"Mitch: What's there to stress about? She's seen me with Nicole before.",
"Dawson: Dad, whether you choose to ignore it or not, Mom is moments away from choosing whether to leave Capeside indefinitely.",
"Mitch: Well her decision to leave or not has nothing to do with me.",
"Dawson: It has everything to do with you. She's not just leaving for a great opportunity, she's running away from you. From your relationship, your unfinished business.",
"Mitch: Unfinished business is only a matter of paperwork and signatures now.",
"Dawson: I don't believe that, and I know you don't either. Dad I'm telling you, if there is even the smallest part of you that wants to work things out with her, don't let her leave. For your sake and for mine.",
"(Cut to the bathroom. Gail and Mrs. Kennedy come out of a stall the same time. They see each other, of course and Gail has a pissed off look on her face.)",
"Mrs.Kennedy: Hello, Gail.",
"Gail: I was actually kind of planning on ignoring you.",
"Mrs.Kennedy: I'm sure you were.",
"Gail: You wouldn't by any chance happen to be here with--",
"Mrs.Kennedy: Yes, I am.",
"Gail: Well, that just sucks, doesn't it?",
"Mrs.Kennedy: I'm sorry?",
"Gail: Well, I just got here. Maybe I should call it a night.",
"Mrs.Kennedy: Maybe. It would only be fair to Mitch.",
"Gail: On second thought, I think I'll let Mitch decide what's fair for Mitch. (smiles) Enjoy your meal.",
"(She leaves. Cut to Andie and Pacey in the kitchen.)",
"Andie: You were listening to me!",
"Pacey: You're damn right I was listening to you! What's going on here?",
"Andie: I don't know what you're talking about.",
"Pacey: Don't pull that with me. Who were you on the phone with?",
"Andie: I wasn't on the phone.",
"Pacey: Were you talking to another guy?",
"Andie: I don't want to talk about this. Will you just please leave?",
"Pacey: Tell me! Are you seeing somebody else?!",
"Andie: NO!",
"Pacey: THEN WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?!",
"Andie: It's none of your business, now will you please just leave me alone!",
"Pacey: No, I'm not leaving!",
"Andie: I mean it this time Pacey!",
"Pacey: Andie, ever since Abby died, your moods have been completely unpredictable. (he turns her around) Look at me! Okay? I mean, one minute you're all over me and the next, you don't even want to see me! (slower) So if it doesn't have anything to do with someone else...I can't....I can't help but think...",
"Andie: What? Say it.",
"Pacey: I'm just wondering if it's maybe some kind of mental situation...",
"Andie: (pissed off) You had to go there.",
"Pacey: Well it's a logical place to go, Andie...",
"Andie: If you don't like having a wacko for a girlfriend then why don't you do us both a favor and just break up with me!",
"Pacey: I just want to help you, Andie.",
"Andie: No, you don't want to help me, Pacey. You want explanations for things I can't give you explanations for.",
"Pacey: Okay...(walks over and picks up the photo album) will you explain these?",
"Andie: It's a photo album.",
"Pacey: No, it's pictures of you and your family that I've never seen before! Alright, you had them out and were going through them, why?",
"Andie: It's none of your business.",
"Pacey: Andie, you changed your hair back to how it was in these photos of you and your brothers!",
"Andie: And?",
"Pacey: And coming on the heels of a month in which you have been acting anything but normal, I just find it a little odd that all of a sudden you would revert back to a hairstyle you had three years ago!",
"Andie: So that is what this is all about? You're freaking out because I went back to an old hairstyle. Which one of us has the problem here?",
"Pacey: Just tell me that your hair has nothing to do with these pictures...",
"Andie: Give me back the book.",
"Pacey: Why are you acting like this?",
"Andie: I said, give me back the book!",
"(She rips it out of his hands and turns around and accidentily smashes a lamp and some stuff on a table. She and Pacey just kind of stand there for a minute.)",
"Andie: Uh, you know what? You can stay here if you want but I'm really tired and I'm going to bed.",
"(She runs upstairs as Pacey kneels down by the mess and flips open the photo album. He picks up a picture of Andie with brown hair, Jack, and Tim, looking identical to the guy Andie keeps seeing.)",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"(Cut to a waiter pouring Gail some wine.)",
"Gail: Thank you for squeezing us in at the last minute.",
"Waiter: A pleasure. (motioning to the wine) Compliments of the house. You're officially Entre Nous favorite anchorwoman.",
"Gail: Thank you.",
"(He walks off. Gail looks at the dance floor.)",
"Gail: Look at all those happy people. I never thought romance could be so disgusting.",
"Jen: (laughs) Nice try, Gail, but once a romantic, always a romantic.",
"Gail: Oh, you think so?",
"Jen: Oh, I know so. And I would bet that if that band was to strike of a song that struck a chord in you, your eyes would well up in a matter of seconds.",
"Gail: Well, I guess there's certain songs with extra meaning.",
"Jen: Did you and Mitch have a song? Just out of curiosity.",
"(The waiters sets down their salads.)",
"Gail: (to the waiter) Thank you.",
"(Cut to Mitch's table. A waiter walks up.)",
"Waiter: Sorry to interrupt. But this wine is sent from another table who wishes to remain nameless.",
"Mrs.Kennedy: I just feel that the quality in film these days....the story is lacking...",
"(Mitch looks over at Gail across the room and smiles.)",
"Mrs.Kennedy: (cont.) Dawson, promise me when you're a Hollywood big-wig you won't spend your time \"trying\" to make big money pictures.",
"(Dawson fakes a smile.)",
"Joey: You don't really mean that, Mrs. Kennedy.",
"Mrs.Kennedy: Excuse me?",
"Joey: Well, since you've already made it perfectly clear that Dawson won't have anything to do with film, it's a little persnickety of you to imply that he may somebody be a Hollywood big-wig, isn't it?",
"Mrs.Kennedy: (forces a laugh) Persnickety...",
"(Joey stares at her and shrugs. Cut to Pacey sweeping up the mess and Jack's there.)",
"Jack: What happened?",
"Pacey: It's your sister, man. We got into a fight and this is what happened...",
"Jack: Man...",
"Pacey: Jack, something is wrong, I mean really, really wrong...",
"Jack: Last night I caught her talking to herself. I mean, she said she wasn't but I heard her.",
"Pacey: So did I! I mean, tonight, I heard her in the kitchen and I thought she was talking to somebody on the phone...",
"Jack: Talking to who?",
"Pacey: I don't know. I didn't hear the whole conversation...but...it sounded like she was talking to somebody named Brown...",
"(Jack's face falls.)",
"Pacey: You know who that is.",
"(Andie's been listening. She's been slipping down the stairs without Jack and Pacey noticing.)",
"Andie: It's my name for Tim...When I was little I couldn't pronounce Timothy...so I called him by my favorite color, brown. You think I'm crazy but I'm not!",
"Jack: Andie, nobody said that!",
"Andie: I know what you're thinking but I'm not crazy. I'm not like Mom. I see Tim and he is here.",
"Pacey: We know, Andie.",
"(Andie starts crying and runs down the stairs around the corner and into a room where she shuts and locks the door.)",
"Pacey: Andie! Andie!! C'mon Andie, open this door. Andie! Open this door!",
"(Cut back to Mitch's table at Entre Nous.)",
"Mrs. Kennedy: I want it to have the commercialality of a When Harry Met Sally but the drier more ironic tone of Nichols and Meg.",
"Joey: Mrs. Kennedy, just out of curiosity, what do you think was the most lacking thing about Dawson's film?",
"Mrs.Kennedy: Do we have to go through this again?",
"Dawson: No, we don't.",
"Joey: I think we should...",
"Mitch: Joey.",
"Joey: I'm sorry, Mr. Leery, but there's obviously a serious undercurrent of tension between Dawson and Mrs. Kennedy...and it seems to me that the only way that they can have peace is if they confront the issue that Mrs. Kennedy finds your son to be completely and totally without a talent or ability or any way, shape, or form.",
"Mrs.Kennedy: No, no, I didn't say that.",
"Joey: Then what was it you did say?",
"Dawson: Yeah, what exactly did you say?",
"Mrs.Kennedy: Look, I believe that the key to success is not only having a dream but having the right dream. Many people aspire to be writers and directors but very few actually have the potential..",
"Dawson: Who are you to be judging anybody's potential? You spent a couple years in Hollywood before disappearing into some small East Coast town to teach high school. Whatever success you had in Hollywood couldn't be much.",
"Mrs.Kennedy: Well then it shouldn't matter what I think of your ability, should it?",
"Mitch: Well, he's a kid with a dream, Nicole. Isn't it your job as a teacher to encourage him to follow it?",
"Mrs.Kennedy: That's a really cozy fantasy, Mitch. But life has a meaner bite than that.",
"Joey: You know, there's a name for individuals who focus on life's meaner bites. It's called bitter.",
"Mrs.Kennedy: Well, on that note, if you'll excuse me.",
"(She gets up. Dawson leans over to Joey.)",
"Dawson: Joey, can I talk to you for a second?",
"Joey: (to Mitch) Excuse me.",
"(They leave and a waiter comes up.)",
"Waiter: Is everything alright?",
"(Mitch laughs. Dawson and Joey move back over by the bar.)",
"Dawson: What's going on?",
"Joey: What are you talking about?",
"Dawson: You know exactly what I'm talking about. Not ten minutes after you warn me to start practicing a little bit of decorum, you start pushing every button at that table.",
"Joey: You'll find out momentarily.",
"Dawson: I can't--",
"(Jen walks up.)",
"Jen: Alright, kids. Operation Reunited has begun.",
"Dawson: What is going on?",
"Joey: Don't worry.",
"Jen: You'll find out.",
"(The maitre'd walks up.)",
"M: Ladies, I see you received the wine you asked for...",
"Joey: Yes. Thank you.",
"Dawson: Alright, he knows. The maitre'd knows and I don't know.",
"Joey: Just wait.",
"(Cut to Mitch going to take a seat by Gail.)",
"Mitch: Familiar song.",
"Gail: Not familiar enough, Mitch.",
"Mitch: Well, one dance never killed anybody...",
"(Gail smiles and they get up and move to the dance floor and start dancing. Cut to Dawson, Jen, and Joey.)",
"Joey: Maybe there's more romance there then we thought.",
"Jen: Or maybe we're just really good.",
"(Cut back to them on the dance floor.)",
"Mitch: Thanks for the wine.",
"Gail: (confused) The wine?",
"Mitch: Yeah, it was mature of you. I appreciated the gesture.",
"(Gail's confused and she looks over by the bar where Dawson, Joey, and Jen are looking but try to act like they're not when she looks.)",
"Gail: Oh! Well, you know moi!",
"Mitch: So what's up with Philadelphia? Are you still deciding?",
"Gail: Considering tonight's seating arrangements that doesn't seem to be a concern of yours anymore.",
"Mitch: Point taken. But as Dawson's father, I make a point to make a quiet plea on his behalf. Like his father, he's not well at expressing himself and I don't know how well he's going to get along with you gone...",
"Gail: Well, at first, maybe...but eventually he'll be fine.",
"Mitch: Still...if I know Dawson...he's not going to let on how much he's missing you...",
"Gail: He could ask me to stay.",
"Mitch: But see that wouldn't be fair would it? You deserve the opportunity too much...",
"Gail: Well, I'll miss him too...",
"(They look as if they're about to kiss but the song ends.)",
"Gail: (quietly) The song's over.",
"(Mitch nods and they quietly go back to their respective tables. Cut to Pacey and Jack banging on the door.)",
"Jack: Come on! Maybe we can jimmy it, I'll go get a knife.",
"Pacey: Andie, come on! Open this door please!",
"(Cut to inside the door, where Andie is. She sees Tim in the mirror.)",
"Tim: Andie, stop crying.",
"Andie: Go away!",
"(Cut back outside the door.)",
"Pacey: I'm not going anywhere, Andie.",
"(Back inside)",
"Andie: Not you! Tim!",
"(Back outside)",
"Pacey: (panicky) Is Tim in there with you? JACK!",
"(Back inside)",
"Andie: I said just go! You're not real!",
"(She throws something into the mirror. Back outside.)",
"Pacey: Andie? What was that? Are you alright?",
"(Inside, Andie's crying. Outside.)",
"Jack: ANDIE OPEN THE DOOR!",
"(Back inside, Andie's leaned up against the door, crying.)",
"Tim: They don't believe you, Andie. They think you're crazy, but you're not!",
"Andie: Yes, I am. I am crazy.",
"(Back to outside the door.)",
"Pacey: Andie, I don't think you're crazy and Jack doesn't think you're crazy either, okay?",
"(Back inside.)",
"Andie: Yes, you do.",
"(Back outside)",
"Pacey: No, we don't. I believe you, Andie. I believe that you're seeing Tim right now and that you're talking to him, but you know what? It's not fair that Tim can see me but I can't see him. So I need you to tell me what he's saying.",
"(Back inside)",
"Tim: I'll take care of you.",
"Pacey: (from outside) Okay?",
"Tim: You can't trust anyone else. They don't understand.",
"Andie: He says you don't understand.",
"(Back outside.)",
"Pacey: Tell Tim that he's wrong. I may not understand everything that's going on with you right now, Andie, but I understand you. Tell Tim that.",
"(Cut to back inside the door.)",
"Tim: You have to choose Andie. Let me take care of you. I'll make you better.",
"Andie: I can't...I can't choose.",
"(Cut to back outside. Jack has his head in his hands worried.)",
"Pacey: No, Andie, Tim's right. You do. You do have to choose.",
"Andie: No, I don't want to, I can't.",
"Pacey: (sincerely and emotionally) You have to, Andie. You have to choose, and I'm begging you from the bottom of your heart, to please choose me.",
"(There's no movement on either side.)",
"Pacey: (scared) Open this door, come out, and choose me. (Very emotionally) You are so special. You give so much to everybody around you, and you know what, Andie? I need you more than Tim does and so does Jack.",
"Andie: That's not true.",
"Pacey: My life began when I met you Andie, and you never gave up on me so I'm not going to give up on you. So please, Andie, (almost in tears) for the love of God, come out here and choose me. Please...",
"(Cut to Andie inside the door. She's looking at Tim and starting to cry a little harder. She's slowly raising her hand for the door handle. She pulls herself up and Jack and Pacey back away from the door. She opens it a little and Pacey moves closer and grabs her in a hug, she's still crying.)",
"Pacey: C'mere, c'mere.You're alright. It's okay. You're okay.",
"(Cut to Pacey and Jack walking down from upstairs.)",
"Jack: She's down for the count.",
"Pacey: So what do we do now?",
"Jack: Well, for starters, call my dad.",
"Pacey: Jack, think about what you're saying...",
"Jack: Well, no one's less happy about the idea than I am but he needs to know...",
"Pacey: Your father wasn't there for your mother, what makes you think he's going to be there for Andie?",
"Jack: Andie needs help. More than you or I or any one person can give her, my father can afford that kind of help!",
"Pacey: Maybe she just needs time to heal. I mean, time could heal her.",
"Jack: No, not with this...",
"Pacey: You don't know that, Jack.",
"Jack: Yes I do! This is what happened with my mother. You know, at first it was just like this. A few minor episodes here and there and by the time anybody wanted to deal with it, she was too far gone. The doctors they...they gave us this clinical explanation. They said that she had repressed her grief to the point where she couldn't experience it with anyone. Her conscience had to create someone to experience it with. I remember feeling so small and helpless when I heard that. And I wanted so badly to believe that there was something I could do.",
"Pacey: Go call your dad.",
"(Cut to Jen and Gail walking down the street.)",
"Gail: Thank you, Jennifer.",
"Jen: For?",
"Gail: My sign. I got it tonight. Althought the shenanigans were a little (missed word) for my taste.",
"Jen: Hey! I had short notice. So does that mean that you're going to stay in Capeside?",
"Gail: I never thought that I would. Every part of me wanted to flee this town and rebuild but when I was holding him on the dance floor in my arms I realized that I could move 10,000 miles away and never let Mitch go...",
"(Jen smiles.)",
"Gail: He felt it, too. I'm as sure of that as I am of anything.",
"(All of a sudden she spots Mitch and Mrs. Kennedy further down the docks. Gail runs off and Jen looks at Mitch and Mrs. Kennedy quizzically. Jen chases after Gail. Close up of Mitch and Mrs. Kennedy about to kiss and then the camera scans across the water to Dawson and Joey in a boat. Joey has her back leaning against Dawson's chest sitting between his legs.)",
"Joey: If I don't eat another French meal for as long as I live, it won't be too soon.",
"Dawson: But I thought it was a pretty successful evening!",
"Joey: (sarcastically) Yeah...",
"Dawson: (quietly) So far.",
"(Joey leans her head up and they start kissing. Dawson slides the shoulder of her cardigan down. Joey pulls away smiling.)",
"Joey: Okay, confession time.",
"Dawson: Yeah...",
"Joey: By any chance did you think that by planning this romantic dinner we would end up, uh....closing the deal?",
"Dawson: Joey Potter! You vulgar little thing!",
"(Joey smiles and drops her mouth open.)",
"Dawson: I prefer the term consumating their ultimate desires.",
"Joey: Oh...okay. (She laughs and sets her face on her hand.)",
"Dawson: (disappointedly) I didn't know the notion was that proposterous...",
"(Joey looks up and kisses him and smiles.)",
"Joey: It's not. I thought about it, too...",
"Dawson: (whispers) But the night is still young...",
"Joey: (whispers back) So are we...",
"Dawson: Okay. But you said you thought about it...",
"Joey: Yes, thought, Dawson.",
"Dawson: You actually considered-thought about it or just ordinarily thought about it?",
"Joey: (smiling) What difference does it make!",
"Dawson: I'm a teenage guy! It makes all the difference in the world.",
"(They kiss again.)",
"Joey: I considered and thought about it.",
"Dawson: Well, that's good. Considered's very good.",
"(They kiss again.)",
"Joey: Okay, let's go, Turbo...",
"Dawson: Okay.",
"(Joey moves and Dawson gets up to go to the other side.)",
"Joey: Be careful..",
"(He sits down and starts rowing.)",
"Dawson: So when you say you've considered it...you mean thought about it considered it or just considered it considered it.",
"Joey: Would you just shut up and row!",
"Dawson: I love it when you're forceful!",
"(Joey rolls her eyes and smiles.)",
"(Cut to Andie's bedroom. She's asleep and she turns in her bed to the other side where Pacey's sitting. She opens her eyes.)",
"Pacey: Hey there.",
"Andie: I'm so sorry, Pacey.",
"Pacey: You're supposed to still be asleep.",
"Andie: (scared) What's going to happen to me?",
"Pacey: Well, you'll go see some more doctors, get the right medications, and you'll be fine, Andie.",
"Andie: But what if I'm not?",
"Pacey: I'm sorry, pal, that's just not in the cards.",
"(He wipes away a tear on her face.)",
"Andie: I'm so scared, Pacey..",
"Pacey: I know you are, Andie, and I am, too, okay?",
"Andie: I don't want to lose you.",
"Pacey: You're not going to lose me. Not not and not ever.",
"Andie: I love you, so much.",
"Pacey: I love you, too.",
"(Andie lays her head on his shoulder. Cut to ending credits.)"

"All of the gang's lives go through changes. After Andie begins seeing her dead brother Tim in the last episode, Jack and Pacey agree to call Mr. McPhee, who decides that he wants his daughter to be treated in Providence, not Capeside. All are stunned at the new changes, and Andie and Pacey must decide if Andie's mental health is more important than being together. Jack also must decide whether or not to go with Andie or stay. His decision is complicated when his father implies that Jack's homosexuality can be 'treated'. Dawson, while helping Mr. Potter extend the Ice House, interviews him for a film project about his supposedly changed life, but inadvertently catches him in the act of a drug deal. Jen decides to make a change so she calls her mother and inquires about returning home or visiting. She is upset to be told that it is an inconvenient time. She ends up moving in with Jack, as she has no other place to go. Andie leaves, and Jack and Pacey watch her go."

"(Cut to Dawson watching \"Casablanca\" on his television while sitting at his desk by his laptop.)",
"Dawson: (Thinking) Compare and contrast Humphrey Bogart's character arc in \"Casablanca\" to one in your own life. Use examples.",
"(He stares blankly at the laptop.)",
"Dawson: (cont.) Number one...Mrs. Kennedy. The character starts out as a sadistic film teacher/father's new girlfriend who maliciously conjures up a finals assignment for the sole purpose to slowly torturing her helpless nemesis, played by Dawson Leery, to death. An example of a purely evil character...with absolutely no arc whatsoever.",
"(He highlights and deletes what he had and gets up and walks towards the bed where we see Joey.)",
"Dawson: (Speaking) Why is it that we're so ridiculously intent on pleasing the people who dislike us the most?",
"Joey: I don't know why you're making such a big deal about this, Dawson. I mean, it's your film final. It should be a no-brainer for you.",
"Dawson: I know.",
"Joey: Why don't you just...I don't know...interview somebody?",
"Dawson: On camera! That's it! I'll present my film final on camera! (laughs) I mean, I'm bound to get points for ingenuity if nothing else, right?",
"Joey: There you go..",
"(Dawson moves over and sits on the bed, pointing the camera at Joey.)",
"Dawson: So...Joey? Talk...",
"Joey: No! Forget it, Dawson.",
"Dawson: C'mon! You've gone through changes this year. You have a character arc!",
"Joey: No! You've already immortalized the likeness of my character onscreen, without my signed consent, I might add. Find another sucker..(pauses and smiles) subject.",
"Dawson: C'mon just a few questions...the camera loves you.",
"Joey: Okay, Dawson. Being the overly generous, kind, loving, caring girlfriend that I am, I will say something.",
"(She leans down and looks right into the camera.)",
"Joey: (smiles) Good luck!",
"(She gets up off the bed.)",
"Joey: See ya tomorrow!",
"(She kisses him on the cheek and heads for the door.)",
"Dawson: Bye...",
"*Theme Song*",
"(Cut to Andie walking into the kitchen of her house. Her father is sitting at the table.)",
"Andie: Daddy...?",
"Mr.McPhee: Hello, Andie.",
"Andie: What are you doing here?",
"Mr.McPhee: I came to see you.",
"Andie: (laughs) Funny. See, I seem to remember that, um, you're not welcome here.",
"Mr.McPhee: Andie, you and I have a lot of things to work out...and we will...but right now I'm here because I'm worried about you. I know about Tim and everything else that's been going on with you.",
"Andie: Well, you don't need to worry about me because uh...I'm fine. Pacey and Jack were here and, uh...they helped me through my rough week so I don't really need you here.",
"Mr.McPhee: Andie, this is serious.",
"Andie: So why are you here?",
"Jack: (appeared in doorway) I called him.",
"Andie: (incredulously) How could you do that to me?",
"Jack: I'm sorry...",
"Mr.McPhee: Your brother was concerned, as am I. I had no idea your situation was this extreme.",
"Andie: My \"situation\"? What is that? Another vague description of events so you can deal with it?",
"Mr.McPhee: When we get home, we can discuss all this. You should start packing.",
"Andie: Packing?!",
"Jack: You didn't say anything about leaving...",
"Mr.McPhee: It's a decision I've come to.",
"Andie: (furious) N-n-n-I don't care about your decision! We have finals. We can't leave!",
"Mr.McPhee: Jack will stay one more week, as for you, I'll call the school and arrange for makeups.",
"Andie: No! You can't take me away! I'm not going to let you!",
"Mr.McPhee: You need perpetual supervision right now. Your mother does, too. I've spoken to your current doctor about our options...we'll get through this.",
"Andie: So we have no choice?",
"Mr.McPhee: Andie, I'm not asking.",
"(Andie turns and glares at Jack.)",
"Jack: I'm sorry. I'm--I didn't know!",
"(Andie's stormed off. Jack walks off.Cut to Jen walking down the hall with Dawson, carrying his video camera.)",
"Jen: What in the world am I supposed to say?",
"Dawson: Just talk about some of the changes you've gone through in the past year...",
"Jen: Oh, God, what is this? America's Most Hideous Video Moments?",
"Dawson: Jen, c'mon!",
"Jen: Let me guess, Candid Camera?",
"Dawson: No, I'm serious!",
"Jen: (sarcastically) Oh, well, if you're serious then by all means. Let me reveal my deepest, darkest, most intimant secrets of the past year for your homework assignment.",
"Dawson: No, this is all--just forget about it.",
"Jen: (emotionally) No...actually..this is probably a good thing...I should talk about it so...(motions him to start filming)",
"(Dawson starts filming.)",
"Jen: (emotionally) I mean...how am I supposed to forget when all this drama began to unfold? I, uh...I don't know...all of a sudden I just...I just (looking as if she's about to cry)",
"Dawson: (into it) You what?",
"Jen: ...cut it off...",
"Dawson: Cut what off?",
"Jen: My hair (smiles and laughs)",
"(Dawson sighs and shuts his camera.)",
"Dawson: Jen.",
"Jen: Oh, I'm serious, Dawson. Making a dramatic hairstyle change like that is a very traumatic event in a young girl's life.",
"(Jen walks off. Cut to Dawson walking down the halls with Jack.)",
"Jack: Dawson, any day but today I'd be glad to tell you about my well-publicized life changes but, uh...today's kind of a disaster...",
"Dawson: No problem...",
"(Cut to Joey taking a folder from someone.)",
"Joey: Thank you.",
"(Dawson comes up with his camera.)",
"Joey: No.",
"Dawson: Joey, I'm desperate.",
"Joey: No.",
"Dawson: Why not?!",
"Joey: Stalking paparazzi is not a flattering occupation, Dawson. Give it up.",
"(She kisses him and walks away. Cut to Dawson walking down the hall with Pacey.)",
"Dawson: I've been trying to figure out how people grow and change...",
"Pacey: Well, for only three easy payments of $29.95 you two can go from town prier to fine upstanding citizen in just 6 months...",
"(He looks into an empty classroom.)",
"Pacey: In here?",
"Dawson: Sure!",
"(They walk in.)",
"Dawson: So, seriously...how'd you do it?",
"Pacey: I didn't do anything, Dawson. You and I both know that left to my own devices, I would be repeating the 10th grade. At best. At worst, I'd probably be living somewhere under a highway right now...",
"Dawson: Pacey, give me a break. I mean, sure, you had some outside inspiration, but you're the one that grabbed your life by the balls and turn things around.",
"Pacey: Dawson my only accomplishment this year was to find an inspiration like Andie. Everything else just stemmed from her.",
"Dawson: Classic hero who changes for the love of a woman.",
"Pacey: Not exactly, bud. (pauses) Everyday I wake up holding my breath, waiting for someone to expose my fraudulent act. You know? Lock me up for it. Figure out this whole thing was just a big lie...",
"(Dawson shuts off his camera, concerned.)",
"Dawson: We can do this later. Are you alright? What's going on with you?",
"Pacey: (on the verge of tears) Ever since me and Andie, well, I mean, literally collided, she mistook me for someone else. And she gave me somebody to be. And now that she needs my help there's not a damn thing I can do for her...I'm failing her, Dawson. (getting up and walking out) So you're going to have to find yourself another hero...",
"(He walks out and sees Andie.)",
"Pacey: Andie?",
"Andie: (still crying slightly) Oh, Pacey...",
"Pacey: What happened? You weren't in class this morning.",
"Andie: Um, yeah, my dad came back into town and...he's going to make us go home. He's taking us back to Providence.",
"Pacey: What?!",
"(Andie just nods.)",
"Pacey: (puts his arm around her) Okay....c'mon...",
"(They walk down the hall. Cut to Andie and Pacey walking into another empty classroom.)",
"Andie: God, he wants me to get help, okay? He wants us to be a family again, but he's been absent for over a year, Pacey, and now that I've finally started to make a life for me here he just wants to wrench me away...God, I just....he makes me so angry!",
"Pacey: (comforting) Okay...Andie, listen, can't he just get you your help here? You already have a therapist in town...",
"Andie: No, Pacey! He is the most stubborn man in the world. If he even thinks that I should leave, I might as well start packing.",
"Pacey: Andie, what is it that you want to do?",
"Andie: What is it that I want to do? Pacey, I want to stay here. Get help here. I want to be with you. I mean, the thought of us not being able to be together is just...",
"Pacey: So, Andie, we fight him on this, okay? This ain't over yet.",
"Andie: He wants to leave tomorrow, Pacey.",
"(Pacey's face drops. He looks at the ground.)",
"Pacey: Okay. That's fine. (he paces over to the door and back) That's fine. Andie, it's fine! It's fine. Because when he hears what we have to tell him, he's not taking you anywhere.",
"(Andie's face looks doubtful. Cut to Jack staring out by the docks when Jen walks up.)",
"Jen: Bite of my Subway for your troubles?",
"Jack: My dad's back. And believe it or not, I called. Andie is not doing well and I didn't know what else to do.",
"Jen: You did the right thing.",
"Jack: But, I didn't. I thought he would stay and help but instead he wants to take us back to Providence.",
"Jen: You know what, Jack? There's a bright side to this. Maybe Andie's going to get better. Maybe if you and your dad move back in there's a chance for reconciliation.",
"Jack: (laughing) Yeah...right...us in the Middle East. So what's your deal anyway? You going to stay at the Leery's forever?",
"Jen: Oh, ouch. I don't know. The situation's kind of dyer...",
"Jack: What about your mom and dad?",
"Jen: They made it pretty clear how they felt about me when they sent me here.",
"Jack: Well, you're different now. You're not the same girl that they sent away.",
"Jen: After what happened with Grams, I'll never believe that anything has changed.",
"Jack: Give em a chance, who knows? Maybe...maybe you're not the only one who's changed?",
"(Cut to Joey walking and handing a plate to a man sitting at a table in the Icehouse.)",
"Joey: Here you go.",
"(Dawson walks in and grabs her.)",
"Dawson: Hey!",
"Joey: Hey.",
"(They kiss.)",
"Joey: C'mere!",
"(She pulls him into a joining room from the front of the Icehouse.)",
"Dawson: Look at this place...",
"Joey: It's the lounge. Music nightly featuring the East Coast's finest entertainers.",
"Dawson: Am I going to need a tie to get in here now?",
"Mr.Potter: You might have some pull with the owner.",
"(He walks away. Joey smiles.)",
"Joey: That is not my father. I mean he's turned into this Mr. Saturday-Night-Sitcom, Father of the Year. The man I know was this grumbling, dejected mass of negativity.",
"Dawson: You mean a relative of yours was grumbling and negative? Nah, not possible.",
"Joey: I'm happy so sue me!",
"Dawson: Trust me, I love this new happy-go-lucky Joey Potter.",
"(They kiss again.)",
"Joey: I'll be back. I have work to do.",
"Dawson: Okay..",
"(She leaves. He slowly approaches Mr. Potter.)",
"Mr.Potter: Hey Dawson.",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Mr.Potter: (motioning to the man helping him) This is an old friend, Pete.",
"(Dawson and Pete shake hands.)",
"Pete: Hi, how you doin?",
"Dawson: Dawson, nice to meet ya.",
"Mr.Potter: We were just talking about our days in the Merchant Marines together. Not exactly the good old days...",
"(Pete walks off.)",
"Dawson: I...I have a question. Actually, what I need is a subject for one of my final projects. I need somebody in my life who's demonstrated a major character change.",
"Mr.Potter: If you mean me, I'm flattered, Dawson.",
"Dawson: So you wouldn't mind if I interviewed you?",
"Mr.Potter: Not at all.",
"Dawson: Great. Great!",
"Mr.Potter: In return though, I've got something for you to do.",
"Dawson: Okay. Sure.",
"(Mr.Potter hands Dawson one of those, I forget the name but you set it on top of like structures your building to make sure it's level. Dawson looks at it quizzically. Joey's in the room now and is watching him with a smile on her face.)",
"Dawson: What does this do?",
"(Joey looks at her dad and looks at Dawson.)",
"Dawson: What?",
"Joey: (laughs) Nothing...",
"Dawson: What?",
"(Cut to Jack coming down the stairs, he opens the door, revealing Pacey.)",
"Jack: Pacey...from the look on your face it looks like you've come bringing bad news.",
"Pacey: Yeah, so what's the rush, Jack? Why now? Tomorrow morning?!",
"Jack: My family's flair for historionics. It wouldn't be a McPhee departure if we weren't doing it in the early dawn with, like, a few hours to prepare.",
"Pacey: Okay, how do we stop this?",
"Jack: I don't think we can. I mean, my father's decisions, they're final. There's no point in arguing them.",
"Pacey: I know how that is. Believe me, I do. But now's not the time to give up! There's too much at stake here, Jack!",
"(Mr.McPhee has entered the room now and been listening.)",
"Mr.McPhee: Which is precisely why she's leaving now.",
"Pacey: Mr. McPhee, I'm Pacey Witter.",
"Mr.McPhee: I know all about you, son, and I appreciate your viements regarding my daughter's situation. As I'm sure you appreciate my own concern.",
"Pacey: I do. Absolutely. I'm just wondering why you're making her leave now...like this.",
"Mr.McPhee: Because her doctor's in Providence suggested that we waste no time getting her the proper care.",
"Pacey: Okay, so why not here?",
"Mr.McPhee: Because I'm not here.",
"Pacey: But she has friends here, a whole support system!",
"Mr.McPhee: Are you suggesting those things are more important than family?",
"Pacey: No, sir. I'm just saying that Andie's built a family here, one that I'm a part of, and I can help her.",
"Mr.McPhee: She's my responsibility.",
"Pacey: Well, with all do respect, sir, you knew of Andie's condition when you left her and Jack here so to take her away now because you suddenly developed some sort of guilty conscience is not fair.",
"Mr.McPhee: Is not fair to whom? My daughter or to you? Because you're just too selfish to let her go?",
"Pacey: (looks at Jack) You're absolutely right. I'm not just here on Andie's behalf. But if she left me, I don't know what I'd do. So I guess I'm begging you for both of us, sir, please, let Andie stay.",
"Mr.McPhee: I'm sorry. My mind's made up.",
"(Cut to Jen in the Leery kitchen, dialing the phone.)",
"Jen: Mom...hey...Jennifer...yeah, I figured that she might have called...I'm just, I'm staying next door with the Leery's....they've been really great...no, no, they don't seem to mind at all. Actually, that's what I'm calling about...um, I was wondering if that, well I know it's been awhile since we've talked about this, but I was just...curious as to what the situation is with me coming home...to stay...with you and Dad...",
"(Cut to Dawson hammering a board. He accidentily hits his finger with the hammer.)",
"Dawson: Owwwwwww! (looks at what he's done) Oh, God, I suck at this.",
"(Joey sneaks up behind him and wraps her arms around him.)",
"Joey: Hey.",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"(She kisses him.)",
"Joey: You know, I've decided that...this whole new macho working man thing, definitely a turn-on.",
"Dawson: Really?",
"(She kisses him.)",
"Joey: Mm-hm. I was thinking, however, that maybe you need a makeover. Tight T-shirt, denim, leather jacket, you know, grease the hair back...",
"Dawson: Sure...I could do that.",
"(Mr.Potter walks in.)",
"Mr.Potter: I'm ready.",
"Dawson: Oh, already? Okay, I'll finish that later and I'll go set things up!",
"(Dawson runs off and Joey looks at what he did and smiles. Mr.Potter looks at it.)",
"Mr.Potter: That's not going to work...",
"Joey: I know...don't say anything...",
"(Mr.Potter nods and walks off.)",
"(Cut to Dawson filming Mr.Potter, Joey's in there. She's not looking very happy.)",
"Mr.Potter: I guess everybody makes mistakes. Some of us are just better at it than others.",
"Dawson: But you were able to overcome your mistakes.",
"Mr.Potter: At first, I thought I would die of shame, literally. I lost everything that I loved. And as much as I didn't want to think it, Dawson, deep down, I was a weak man. And, even if I could turn things around, would my daughters ever forgive me? Could they ever forget what I did to their mother? How could--",
"(Joey gets up and walks out. Dawson stares after her, as does Mr.Potter. Cut to the McPhee house.)",
"Mr.McPhee: This will be good for your mother, and Andie, and you. Put our family back together.",
"Jack: What if, um, what if you stayed? Here with us.",
"Mr.McPhee: I can't leave my business.",
"Jack: Then start up a new one. Or move it here. Or take day trips, I don't care. If you really loved us, you'd stay.",
"Mr.McPhee: There's no one here to help Andie.",
"Jack: No, there's Pacey. I mean, I have never seen two people that have what they have together.",
"Mr.McPhee: I can only offer what I've offered.",
"Jack: You haven't offered everything.",
"Mr.McPhee: Yes, I have.",
"Jack: You haven't offered her a choice.",
"Mr.McPhee: A ch--I can't do that! It's best for all of us if we all leave. Jack! Your mother and your sister need serious medical attention. And you're certainly not going to get the help you need here in Capeside.",
"Jack: (in disbelief) Help? Exactly what kind of help do I need?",
"Mr.McPhee: If you could talk to someone about your problem...",
"Jack: Look, just don't even go there.",
"(He walks out of the room and starts up the steps.)",
"Mr.McPhee: Look, just hear me out. I understand that you're c-confused with these gay ideas.",
"Jack: The only problem I have is the fact that you have a problem with me being gay. Look this isn't about me anyway, it's about Andie and what's best for her. God, Dad, let her make the choice. Let her make the decision. You know how damaging it would be to take her away now? Away from Pacey?",
"Mr.McPhee: I hardly think a teen romance is a solution to a medical problem.",
"Jack: Her solution will come from the people that love and care for her, I know that's not your specialty, Dad.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"(Cut to Andie playing with her stuffed cat while Pacey sits in a chair in her room.)",
"Pacey: This is ridiculous, Andie. For the two of us to be sitting here, passively waiting for our inevitable doom...",
"Andie: You could use this time to start studying for your finals..",
"Pacey: Forget about my finals. Listen, I've got a much better idea. You and I, we have no idea what tomorrow brings but tonight is ours so...",
"Andie: So what do you want to do?",
"Pacey: I'd like to get the hell out of here if we could.",
"Andie: Where are we going?",
"Pacey: Well, Andie McPhee, I'd like to take you on a date. One where I can come over and pick you up, take you out to dinner, maybe a movie, some moonlight, a little romance. Believe me, this is exactly what you and I need.",
"Andie: Pacey...it's just...that there's so much that needs to be done and...I just...you know what? You're right. A night out on the town, just the two of us, is exactly what we need.",
"Pacey: Now you're talking. We'll deal with tomorrow tomorrow. Tonight...tonight will be magical...",
"Andie: Okay...",
"Pacey: Okay.",
"(He kisses her on the forehead. He leaves. Cut back to Dawson interviewing Mr.Potter.)",
"Dawson: What drove you to your lowest point?",
"Mr.Potter: Joey's mom was getting worse...bills were mounting, why else would someone else make the idiotic decision to risk everything for the Almighty Buck. I found myself in what seemed to be at the time an impossible situation so I began trafficking marijuana.",
"(Joey storms in and blocks the camera from her dad.)",
"Joey: Dad, didn't you promise Bessie you'd bring her and Alexander dinner?",
"Mr.Potter: Dawson, can we continue this later?",
"Dawson: Yeah.",
"(He leaves. Dawson gets up and walks towards Joey, adjusting a lamp. He looks at her.)",
"Dawson: What's the matter?",
"Joey: Look, this whole Dawson Leery, investigative reporter at large thing....it's intrusive. Why are you making my father relive such an excruciatingly painful time of his life?",
"Dawson: That's the heart of it, Jo. I'm trying to get a complete picture of a man who's changed his life so completely, so heroically.",
"Joey: But don't you understand? I don't want to live in the past. We've worked so hard to close those doors and move on.",
"Dawson: Jo, I'm sorry.",
"Joey: If you're so hellbent on making this assignment about something real, then why are you doing it on another person? Why don't you do the obvious? Turn the camera on yourself.",
"Dawson: I can't.",
"Joey: Why not?",
"Dawson: (quietly) Because.",
"Joey: Why not?",
"Dawson: Because I'm afraid, okay? I'm afraid that I'm not enough for you and I never will be and if I do this, you'll realize that you've grown way beyond me and...I'm just going to lose you again.",
"(Cut to Andie getting ready in her room in front of her mirror. Jack walks in.)",
"Andie: Hey.",
"Jack: Hey...",
"Andie: I talked to dad.",
"Jack: And why are you smiling?",
"Andie: Because he said if I wanted to stay he'd try and work it out.",
"Jack: Wow. Then it's great news then, huh?",
"Andie: I guess.",
"Jack: Andie, y-you can't actually tell me that you're thinking about leaving?",
"Andie: I don't know.",
"Jack: C'mon, I think the decision here's pretty obvious!",
"Andie: Is it?",
"Jack: Yeah...",
"Andie: Listen, most days I feel fine, Jack. I do. But I'm not fine. In fact, I'm getting worse. And I think that whole Tim thing is just an indication of that. And the ironic thing is, the more time I spend here with everybody, and with Pacey, the more I want to get better. You know? 'Cause I don't want to drag him down with my problems.",
"Jack: I don't think Pacey feels burdened by you. I know I don't.",
"Andie: But I do. I feel burdened with the knowledge of how hard it must be for you guys to take care of me and that's why I've decided that if I leave, you should stay.",
"Jack: No way. You're my family. You go, I go.",
"Andie: But I mean, what about what you want? I mean, you're always so selfless, Jack. Will you promise me that you'll think about yourself this time?",
"(Jack looks at her. Cut to Jen climbing the steps to Grams with a suitcase in hand. She heads over to the door and takes a few breaths, she stops herself from knocking. She sighs and turns around and heads back to the Leery's.)",
"Jen: Bye Grams.",
"(Cut to Dawson using the level thingy.)",
"Mr.Potter: That's it. You're getting the hang of it. Good work, son.",
"Dawson: Thank you. Look, Mr.Potter...I-I'm really sorry if I made you dredge up some painful memories today.",
"Mr.Potter: Don't worry. It's not like something I don't think about every waking moment. But you asked me how I've changed, truth is, I don't know how much I've changed. But I keep trying, everyday, to be a better person for my family. To put someone else's needs before your own because you love them. Means everything.",
"(Joey slowly walks in. Mr.Potter glances from Dawson to Joey.)",
"Mr.Potter: I'm going to take a walk.",
"(He leaves.)",
"Dawson: I probably shouldn't have layed it all out there like that. I'm a little embarressed.",
"Joey: Dawson, you have it all wrong. I mean, can't you tell by looking at me? My life is perfect right now. I've got just about everything I've ever dreamt of. I mean, my dad is back, my family is together again, business is good, and most of all, I have you in my life. Add a white picket fence to this scenario and the fairytale would be complete.",
"Dawson: I just want to make you proud of me.",
"Joey: I love you...and I believe in you and I am so proud of you and I'm not only proud of you, but I'm proud to be with you.",
"(They kiss.)",
"Joey: Hey and you could be a great carpenter one day...who knows?",
"Dawson: Are you mocking me?",
"(Cut to Jack walking into the room where his dad is sitting at a desk doing paperwork.)",
"Jack: I'm staying.",
"Mr.McPhee: And your sister?",
"Jack: I don't know her decision. Whatever it is, I'm not going.",
"Mr.McPhee: You want me to leave you here alone at 17? I don't think so, Jack. I could be selling the house.",
"Jack: Dad, I don't care about the house. I can't live with you. Not with the way things are.",
"Mr.McPhee: With your mother's illness, Andie's problems, and even Tim's death....those I can find reasons for. But with you, I feel like I'm to blame.",
"Jack: But you aren't.",
"Mr.McPhee: If I'd just been around more.",
"Jack: It wouldn't have made a difference. I'm gay for the same reasons that Tim wasn't. It just happened that way.",
"Mr.McPhee: But there are people who change, they go back.",
"Jack: I'm hardly the encyclopedia of the gay experience but, I'd wager to say that their change is skeptical.",
"Mr.McPhee: How do you know? Unless you try.",
"Jack: I don't want to try. Why do you want me to try?",
"Mr.McPhee: Because I can not understand why anyone would choose that kind of life.",
"Jack: I didn't choose it. The only thing I chose was to be happy. Look, I can't go back for you because slowly but surely I'd be going to sacrifice my happiness for yours because I want you to be proud of me. But not under your terms. It just, it won't work.",
"Mr.McPhee: Jack...",
"(He stands up and Jack turns around. Mr.McPhee tries to say something but he can't. He goes back and sits at the desk. Cut to Andie and Pacey walking at the same place where they first danced and kissed.)",
"Andie: Do you know where we are?",
"Pacey: We're...by the water?",
"Andie: You don't remember.",
"Pacey: Of course I remember. This is where we first danced.",
"Andie: And where we had our first kiss. I remember my knees were shaking like crazy.",
"Pacey: My heart...boom boom boom boom boom boom.",
"Andie: I was deliriously happy.",
"Pacey: I died and went to heaven that day. That was a long...long time ago.",
"Andie: It seems like yesterday.",
"Pacey: What was I back then?",
"Andie: A slacker.",
"Pacey: That's what you thought, wasn't it? You thought I was a lazy brat.",
"Andie: You thought I was a spoiled princess.",
"Pacey: And you didn't let me get away with anything back then...",
"Andie: Yeah and your favorite pasttime was making me miserable.",
"Pacey: I hated you...",
"Andie: I hated you more...",
"Pacey: Oh, Andie, I really don't think that's possible.",
"Andie: It's been a wild ride.",
"Pacey: And it's only just begun.",
"(Andie nods.)",
"Pacey: May I have the pleasure of this dance, Miss McPhee?",
"Andie: Yes, Mr. Witter, you may.",
"(They start dancing and Andie starts crying.)",
"Pacey: What's the matter? Why are you crying?",
"Andie: I'm just so happy to be with you...and, um, I'm sad, too... I love you so much, Pacey....and I can't hide from the truth anymore. I'm not getting any better. Also, because I'm going to leave tomorrow...I have to...",
"Pacey: I know...",
"Andie: No goodbyes, okay?",
"Pacey: No goodbyes...",
"(They keep dancing, forehead to forehead, Pacey has his eyes closed almost in fear of what's to come...life without Andie...Cut to Joey walking outside of her house in her pajamas, it's morning. Dawson walks up.)",
"Dawson: Hello. Good morning.",
"Joey: Dawson? What are you doing here?",
"Dawson: I've been here all night. Shut your eyes.",
"Joey: It's 7 in the morning!",
"Dawson: Shut your eyes!",
"Joey: I have my pajamas on.",
"Dawson: You look beautiful. C'mon.",
"(He leads her down the stairs)",
"Joey: What are you doing?",
"Dawson: Walk with me. Keep your eyes shut. Stairs coming up.",
"Joey: Dawson...",
"Dawson: I gotcha. There. One...two...three. You're on the ground. Okay? Okay, stop. Stop. Stop. Okay, now open 'em.",
"(Joey opens her eyes and she's amazed. There's a white picket fence in her yard.)",
"Joey: A white picket fence...",
"Dawson: Yep.",
"Joey: When did you do this?",
"Dawson: Took me all night. It's a little bit crooked down at the end there but...you know...",
"(She kisses him.)",
"Joey: Thank you.",
"Dawson: I figure it will probably take me the rest of the summer to finish the thing but..",
"Joey: What? You hangin out in my front yard all summer? I think I could handle that...",
"Dawson: Maybe it's time I started climbing in your window for a change, huh?",
"Joey: Change can be good.",
"(They kiss again. Cut to Jack running through the bus station. He spots Jen and runs up.)",
"Jack: You didn't think you were going to get away without a send-off, did ya?",
"Jen: Oh, well, you missed the parade. It just left.",
"Jack: Well, looks like your parents said yes...",
"Jen: Not quite. I called my mom and she casually informed me that now was not a good time for me to reenter her life and my dad said he's still getting over my last stay with them. I told them I was different and that I wouldn't a worry this time. They asked if it was just a ploy to get more money every month.",
"Jack: Jen, I'm sorry..",
"Jen: I just figure screw it, alright? I don't need them as my destination. If I'm going to leave Capeside then what's holding me back?",
"Jack: You don't have another place to go?",
"Jen: Oh, I've got every place to go there's just nobody there.",
"(Jack pulls her out of line.)",
"Jack: Look, I often wonder how my mom would act if she was aware of what was happening to me, if she was capable of comprehending it. I don't think she'd have a problem with it because my mom loves me for the best reason possible...no reason at all. Because that's the way our parents should love us Jen. Unconditionally. Sadly, most parents don't. But as much as it hurts...it's worse for them. It is worse to be incapable of loving then to not be loved.",
"(Jack takes her bags.)",
"Jen: Wh-no, Jack...",
"Jack: Well, I...I'm taking you back to my place. It's pretty empty and I could use a roommate...what do ya say?",
"Jen: Yeah...yeah...",
"(Jack hugs her and the bus pulls away. Cut to Dawson walking into the Icehouse.)",
"Dawson: (yelling) Mr.Potter! Here's your tools.",
"(He sets them on two stools and he hears some talking in the back. He goes and looks through the door. He sees Mr.Potter and Pete. Pete is pulling out a vase and he pulls out the flower decorations and underneath he pulls out a bag of cocaine. Dawson shuts the door behind him and walks back outside where he runs into Joey. She sets her tray down and walks up to him.)",
"Joey: Hey..",
"(They kiss.)",
"Joey: What's wrong?",
"Dawson: (starts to say something but stops) Nothing...nothing's wrong...",
"Joey: Okay...",
"(She hugs him and Dawson's face drops. Cut to Mr.McPhee loading up the car. Andie's hugging Jack.)",
"Jack: I'll see you soon..",
"Andie: Mm-hm...",
"(Mr.McPhee holds out his hand to Jack. Jack shakes it.)",
"Mr.McPhee: I'm not the best father, I know that. But I do want you to be happy.",
"Jack: Thank you.",
"(Pacey comes running from the other side of the house.)",
"Pacey: Andie! Andie! (to Jack) Hey.",
"(He puts his arms around Andie.)",
"Andie: We said no goodbyes.",
"Pacey: I don't want to say goodbye. I just want to look at ya...I wish I had some eloquent parting words for you but...all I could think of was this. Thank you. Thank you for everything you've given to me. Thank you for forcing me be the man you made me. Just thank you. I am so grateful to you, Andie.",
"Andie: Oh, I don't want to let you go, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Just remember your promise, okay? You and me together again, happy, healthy, more in love than ever.",
"Andie: I'll remember.",
"Pacey: You'll get better, McPhee. Then you hurry back to me.",
"Andie: Pacey...kiss me...",
"(They kiss.)",
"Andie: My knees are shaking...",
"Pacey: My heart...boom-boom, boom-boom.",
"(They hug. Andie slowly breaks free and walks towards the car. The car pulls out and the view is through the back window of Jack and Pacey left behind in the driveway.)",
"Dawson: (Overvoice) We're taught to believe that in the movies the character goes through an arc and changes, but what if that's not true? By the end of \"Casablanca,\" Bogart's the same lonely, tough guy that he always was.",
"(Shot of Pacey by a fountain.)",
"Dawson: (cont.) His decisions didn't change him. Nor did his actions.",
"(Shot of Jen and Jack sitting on his bed watching TV and eating ice cream.)",
"Dawson: (cont.) It just showed what was already there. A man who wanted to change, but feared he couldn't.",
"(Shot of Mr.Potter sitting, looking depressed at the Icehouse bar. Cut to the TV in Dawson's room. Dawson is talking on the video.)",
"Dawson: (cont.) If Bogart really wanted to change, he wouldn't have sent his love away but held onto her for dear life...because...I think love is change.",
"(Zoom out on Dawson actually in his room and he looks at Joey, who's asleep.)",
"Dawson: Or at least I hope so.",
"(Cut to ending credits.)"

"Dawson is unsure about whether to tell Joey about her father's drug dealing. Sheriff Witter stakes out the Ice House, believing that Mr. Potter is back to his old tricks. When the gang is studying in the restaurant, one of Mr. Potter's unruly competitors sets it on fire with everyone still inside, making Dawson's conflict greater. Gail tells Mitch about her new job offer in Philadelphia. Pacey becomes depressed now that Andie is gone and his father mocks his pain, which results in a physical confrontation between Pacey and the Sheriff. As a result, Sheriff Witter comes to understand Andie's importance in Pacey's life and that he has been a bad father. Jack becomes worried that Jen is suicidal when she doesn't immediately leave the burning Ice House. Later, Grams and Jen reconcile, causing Jen to move back in, taking Jack with her as well. Joey aids the police in arresting her father, having been forced to do so by Dawson. Afterwards, she tells Dawson she will never forgive him and wants him out of her life, bringing their romance to a second grinding halt."

"Joey: Hey there, abrupt?",
"Dawson: I've had enough unrequited love for one evening, okay? It's...it's too torturous.",
"Joey: I wonder what sick part of me thrives on movies with these kinds of love stories.",
"Dawson: The ones that end unhappily?",
"Joey: No. The kinds that never really end. I mean, think about it. To continue loving somebody even though there's no chance of that love ever thriving...that's romance.",

"Joey: It absolutely does.",
"Dawson: And that doesn't worry you?",

"Joey: It's not their fault! It's just the circumstances.",
"Dawson: But what good is their love if it's not strong enough to overcome those circumstances?",

"Dawson: I need some father/son advice. What do you do when you know something really bad about someone close to someone you really care about? Do you tell the someone you care about or do you just try and forget that you know the bad thing?",
"Gail: How bad is bad?",
"Dawson: Let's say beyond bad, bad.",
"Gail: Well, then you have to choices. You can either tell the someone you care about what the someone they care about has done or you can go straight to the person who's done the bad thing and confront them directly in hopes that they'll do the right thing.",
"Dawson: Wow. Dad's got nothin' on you.",
"Gail: And, um, speaking about your dad...honey, I've decided to take the job in Philly. I'm going to fly down there tomorrow, officially accept, sign a contract and affirm all my plans to relocate.",
"Dawson: Is this what you want?",
"Gail: Well the someone that I really care about has done nothing to even remotely suggest that he cares about me.",
"(Cut to Joey coming out of her house. Dawson's standing there.)",

"Mr.Potter: Doing good. Doing real good.",
"Dawson: And legal?",
"(Mr.Potter just stops for a minute, in shock. Joey comes back out.)",
"Joey: Okay, ready. I hate exams.",
"Mr.Potter: You know what, you guys? Since the Icehouse is closed for the last stages of renovation you can use it as a study haven if you want to. There's plenty of old menu items to eat up, you can invite your friends.",
"Joey: Sounds cool. Dawson?",
"Dawson: Sounds good.",
"Joey: (to her dad) Thank you. I'll see ya.",
"(She kisses him on the cheek.)",
"Mr.Potter: Bye.",
"Dawson: See ya Mr.Potter.",
"Mr.Potter: See ya, Dawson.",
"(Mr.Potter stares off after them with a worried expression on his face. Cut to Jen and Jack walking towards school with coffee cups.)",
"Jen: Well if this doesn't help me survive the morning, I don't know what will.",
"Jack: You're going to need a lot more than coffee to stay awake from that all-nighter you pulled in the den last night. I haven't even seen study geek Andie put that much effort into a paper.",
"Jen: Well, I had a lot to say.",
"Jack: Yeah, what's the paper about?",
"Jen: Teen suicide.",
"Jack: You had a lot to say about teen suicide? Should I plan the intervention?",
"Jen: Well, not just yet. I'm not on the window edge right now.",
"Jack: Right now? This conversation just took a decidedly gruesome turn.",
"Jen: Nah, it's just realistic.",
"Jack: Realistic to who?",
"Jen: To most teenagers. The materials that I read said that a high percentage have considered suicide at least once. Haven't you?",
"Jack: Well, yeah, maybe once but dealing with everything hasn't really crossed my mind. It doesn't really scare me as much as it used to. What's your answer?",
"Grams: Jennifer!",
"(Jen turns to find Grams standing there with a bag.)",
"Jen: Hi Grams.",
"Grams: How are you?",
"Jen: Late for class.",
"Grams: Jennifer, wait! I've thought about how we ended things and I've given a great deal of consideration...in spite of our differences...I want you to come home.",
"Jen: I have a home now.",
"Grams: Jennifer, I know you want your independence but this situation isn't right.",
"Jen: Jack is used to taking care of himself and I am determined to learn how. Together, we'll be fine.",
"Grams: Jack has no alternative, you do.",
"Jen: You've come here to welcome me home but you haven't even addressed why I left. And to be quite honest, I don't want to get into it right now with you.",
"(Cut to Pacey pulling up in his dad's patrol car. His dad is driving. Something comes over the radio about Pier Avenue.)",
"Pacey: That's the Icehouse. Are you guys staking it out?",
"Mr.Witter: That's none of your concern.",
"Pacey: Pops if this means you're going to start harassing Joey's dad...",
"Mr.Witter: I'm not harassing anybody. I wear a badge. I do a job.",
"Pacey: He's finally putting his family's life back together, the guy deserves a break.",
"Mr.Witter: I'll be the judge of that. In the meantime, you've got a final to get to. Now don't screw it up.",
"Pacey: Is there any possibility that your advice will ever take on a positive tone?",
"Mr.Witter: I'm positive you better not screw up.",
"Pacey: Gee, Dad, you know it's really great that we can have these talks every morning.",
"(Pacey tries to get out but Mr.Witter grabs his arm.)",
"Mr.Witter: Since your little girlfriend left your attitude has gone from bad to worse and I don't approve of it. A girl is not worth messing your life up over, you hear me?",

"Dawson: Did he try and run you over with the car this morning?",

"Pacey: No, no I haven't. She'll call.",

"Mr.Milo: Your favorite guidance counselor will be proctering the exam today. If you have any questions please raise your hand, and I will come to you.",
"(Pacey flips open his book and scans the questions. He shuts it and sighs and lays his head on his desk, staring off into space. Mr.Milo looks at him, concerned. Cut to Dawson walking into the back room of the Icehouse where Mr.Potter is sweeping.)",
"Mr.Potter: Dawson...I suppose you want to know what the hell I think I'm doing.",
"Dawson: No. Not really. I came here to tell you whatever it is, I just don't believe it. I don't believe that a man who claims to love his children with all his heart and all his soul would traffic cocaine through the family business.",
"Mr.Potter: Dawson...",
"Dawson: I do believe that anyone engaged in such a blatant, criminal activity would put the well being of his own family ahead of his own selfishness and remove himself from the situation.",
"Mr.Potter: And what if that man found himself stuck, could you believe that?",
"Dawson: Well, if that were true, then a smart man would do absolutely everything in his power for the sake of the people who love him to unstick himself....and he'd do it fast.",
"(Dawson storms out. Cut to Mitch and Gail sitting on the Leery porch.)",
"Gail: So Dawson will stay here with you, I think it's a mistake to uproot him now with school and everything.",
"Mitch: Great..",
"Gail: I was hoping you'd move back into the house and in the summer maybe he could come down to Philadelphia and intern at the station.",
"Mitch: If he wants to.",
"Gail: Yes, if he wants to. Mitchell, I know he's happy here.",
"Mitch: But you're obviously not.",
"Gail: I didn't necessarily say that. But I have a job opportunity I want to take, you know I've outgrown my job here.",
"Mitch: So what you're saying is that your decision is based on what's best for you and not for our son.",
"Gail: What I'm saying is my decision is what's best for me is what's ultimately best for our son and he, believe it or not, understands this. Which is more than I can hope for from you.",
"Mitch: Is there anything else you'd like to tell me?",
"Gail: Just that I'm leaving tomorrow.",
"(Mitch's face drops. Cut to Pacey, Dawson, Joey, Jack, and Jen sitting at a table in the Icehouse.)",
"Mr.Witter: Pacey, what are you doing here?",
"Pacey: We're signing a peace treaty....studying, Pop, studying...",
"Mr.Witter: Joey, is your father around?",
"Mr.Potter: Hello, John. Restaurant's closed.",
"Mr.Witter: Hello Mike, can I speak to you for a second?",
"Mr.Potter: Sure. Come on back.",
"(Mr.Witter walks back there and as soon as he's out of earshot, Joey leans towards Pacey.)",
"Joey: What's going on?",
"Pacey: Hey, don't look at me. My father's crusades are his own deal.",
"(Cut back to the back room.)",
"Mr.Witter: Hey Mike, how've you been?",
"Mr.Potter: Good, you?",
"Mr.Witter: Good. (pulls out a picture of Pete) Have you seen this guy around?",
"Mr.Potter: Pete Lewis, he's an old friend.",
"Mr.Witter: With an alleged history of narcotics, Mike.",
"Mr.Potter: Well, I wouldn't know. We have a strictly social relationship. He stopped by for a visit to catch up...",
"(Joey gets up and walks back in the room.)",
"Joey: Find everything you need Mr. Witter?",
"Mr.Witter: Yes, thank you.",
"Joey: Need anymore help back here, Dad?",
"(Mr.Potter looks at Mr. Witter.)",
"Mr.Witter: No, we're done. This place is looking great, Mike.",
"Mr.Potter: Thanks. Come back next week when it's done. I'll get ya a free dinner.",
"Mr.Witter: Thanks. I'll do that.",
"(He leaves.)",
"Joey: What's going on?",
"Mr.Potter: He's just giving me an official welcome. That's all, Jo.",
"Joey: They're never going to leave us alone, are they?",
"Mr.Potter: Not for awhile.",
"Joey: Well, I guess we'll just have to ignore them.",
"(Mr.Potter smiles and walks off. Dawson walks in.)",
"Dawson: Are you okay?",
"Joey: Why is Pacey's dad doing this?",
"Dawson: Because it's his job.",
"Joey: No, it's his job to serve and protect Capeside from criminals, not my dad. He doesn't belong in that category anymore.",
"(Dawson's face kind of falls.)",
"Dawson: I know you're mad...",
"Joey: You should be mad, too! You're part of his family now.",
"Dawson: Well, when you say it like that I'm furious.",
"(Joey kisses him. Cut to Mr.Potter opening some canvas bags filled with cocaine. He takes them into his office. He shuts his blinds. Cut to Jen walking towards the coffee machine followed by Jack.)",
"Jack: You know, it sounds like she wants to reconcile your differences.",
"Jen: To the untrained ear, maybe, but to me it's just the same old grumple (?) speaking. I'm not the same old girl she wants around.",
"Jack: She did ask you back.",
"Jen: I don't want to go back.",
"Jack: Well, no one's saying that you have to but she is right. Your situation isn't mine.",
"(Jen glares at him.)",
"Jack: What? You don't think I've been under the same kind of scrutiny? More of the rough hours, Jen.",
"Jen: I thought that we had developed a closeness.",
"Jack: We have.",
"Jen: So then why do you want me to go?",
"Jack: I never said I wanted you to go.",
"Jen: Bringing up my grandmother, talking about me moving back, it's obvious where that leads.",
"Jack: Is this what you did to her? You turned her words all around until you're convinced that she wanted you to go?",
"Jen: You have no idea what you're talking about.",
"Jack: I think I do! You talk like moving in with me is going to be some great salvation. Well, let me tell you something, it isn't. Because my dad's going to have to sell the house soon and we're both going to be homeless.",
"Jen: Well, then, I will put myself out of my misery.",
"Jack: Don't say that.",
"Jen: Don't worry, Jack. Statistics are on my side, but I'll be gone by tonight.",
"(She walks out of the room, Jack sighs. Cut to a pipe bomb thrown through an Icehouse window and a fire immediately starts and is spreading quickly. Cut to Mr. Witter and Pacey walking towards his patrol car.)",
"Mr.Witter: You stay outta this, Pacey! You and I have a whole nother problem to deal with.",
"Pacey: Of course I do.",
"Mr.Witter: Today you got a phone call at the house.",
"Pacey: Andie?",
"Mr.Witter: Mr. Milo! He's worried about you. He told me that you've blown two of your finals.",
"Pacey: I've got it under control, okay?",
"Mr.Witter: Pacey, he said you didn't write word one on either exam. That's prudent! What were you thinking?",
"Pacey: I was thinking that it doesn't really matter, okay?!",
"Mr.Witter: The hell it doesn't! You get your things, you're coming home.",
"Pacey: No.",
"Mr.Witter: I don't want you hanging out here, Pacey. Mr. Potter's a known felon, it doesn't make me look good.",
"Pacey: Is that what this is about?!",
"Mr.Witter: Get your stuff!",
"Pacey: I said no!",
"Mr.Witter: I SAID GET YOUR STUFF!",
"(He grabs Pacey's arms.)",
"Pacey: Get your hands off me!",
"(Pacey's dad punches him.)",
"Mr. Witter: I'll be in the car.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"(Cut to Mr.Potter opening his blind and seeing the fire. He grabs his drugs and rushes to the toilet and starts hurredly opening them and pouring them in to flush them down the stool. Cut to the group at the table.)",
"Dawson: Does anybody smell that?",
"Jack: Smoke..",
"Jen: Where's it coming from?",
"(Joey looks behind her through the door.)",
"Joey: There's a fire!",
"(She gets up and runs towards the smoke)",
"Dawson: Joey!",
"Joey: Dad!",
"(Cut to Pacey and his dad by the patrol car.)",
"Pacey: Dad! DAD!",
"(Pacey points towards the fire. Mr.Witter gets on the radio as Pacey runs in. Cut to everybody opening the door towards the room.)",
"Dawson: Careful! Careful!",
"(They go in.)",
"Joey: Dad! Dad! DAD? DAD!",
"Mr.Potter: Joey! JOEY, GET OUTTA HERE! Get her outta here!",
"Joey: Dad! Noo! Dad!",
"(Pacey drags her out. Dawson grabs a fire extinguisher. Jen stares at the flames.)",
"Jack: Jen, come on!",
"(Dawson starts using the fire extinguisher.)",
"Dawson: (to Mr.Potter) I CAN'T GET IN THERE! STAY BACK!",
"(Dawson breaks the window glass. Mr.Witter and Dawson get Mr.Potter out. Cut to Joey, Pacey, Jen, and Jack waiting outside of the Icehouse staring into it watching. Mr.Potter and Dawson run out with Mr.Witter leading the way. Sirens are heard in the distance. Joey runs up and hugs her dad. Dawson stares coldly at Mr.Potter and coughs from the smoke. Cut to Mr.Potter watching the Icehouse being put out by firemen.)",
"Dawson: Is this your idea of taking care of things?",
"Mr.Potter: It's not that simple, Dawson.",
"Dawson: You need to go to the police and tell them everything that you know.",
"Mr.Potter: I can't. It's too dangerous.",
"Dawson: THIS is too dangerous.",
"(Joey walks up and leans her shoulder on her dad.)",
"Joey: I'm all checked out. They asked for the hero next (to Dawson). That'd be you.",
"Dawson: I'm not a hero, Joey.",
"Mr.Potter: Don't be modest, Dawson. You saved my life. You're a hero.",
"Dawson: Some situations are too tragic to have a hero. This is one of them.",
"(He kisses Joey on the cheek and walks off. His parents run up to him.)",
"Mitch: Dawson!",
"(Cut back to Joey, looking confused up at her father.)",
"(Cut to Mr.Witter and Pacey talking inside.)",
"Mr.Witter: That b*st*rd was lying to me. He's in it up to his neck and he knows it.",
"Pacey: Come on, you don't even know if this has anything to do with him.",
"Mr.Witter: A random arson incident in the middle of Capeside? Let's consider the chances of that, Pacey. If God hadn't blessed ya with my good looks, I wouldn't know who's son you were. Why don't you drive yourself home before you make another embarressing comment?",
"Pacey: I think I'll walk.",
"Mr.Witter: As if I care.",
"Pacey: Nobody assumed you did, Pop.",
"Mr.Witter: You'll have to excuse my son, boys. His girlfriend moves away and all of a sudden it's his time of the month.",
"Pacey: Screw you, okay?",
"(Mr.Witter grabs his arm and Pacey quickly removes it.)",
"Pacey: Get your hands off me! You don't touch me again! Ever!",
"Mr.Witter: Finally, my boy gets a pair (?) and all it took was getting his heart broken by some girl with a few screws loose.",
"(Pacey punches him.)",
"Pacey: Andie did more for my life in 6 months than you did in 16 years, you rotten son of a bitch. So if you want to make fun of me, if you want to bust on me, that's fine. But if you so much as make one more even slightly disparaging comment about the woman I love, you're going to policing this town from a hospital bed, you hear me? And one more thing, even if Mr.Potter was involved in all this, he's still 10 times the father you ever were.",
"(Cut to Bessie and Mr.Potter sitting at the Potter's kitchen table, talking. Joey walks in.)",
"Bessie: There's no reason that if we get an inspector out there tomorrow that we can't file a claim. It's start the procedure--",
"Joey: What's going on?",
"Mr.Potter: Your sister and I are going over the insurance papers.",
"Joey: No, I mean, with the police. Why is the Icehouse taped off?",
"Mr.Potter: The fire was arson related, it's typical investigative procedure.",
"Joey: So there's nothing else going on?",
"Bessie: Joey, what are you saying?",
"Joey: I'm asking Dad if he knows why the police are so interested in the fire or why there was a fire in the first place.",
"Mr.Potter: As God is my witness, I have no idea.",
"Joey: You're positive?",
"Bessie: Josephine Potter, you stop it right now.",
"Joey: No. I want him to swear.",
"Mr.Potter: I just swore to you, Joey.",
"Joey: I know, but I need you to swear again. I need to know that you're telling me the truth. Do you know who started that fire?",
"Mr.Potter: No.",
"Joey: Okay.",
"(She sighs, much more relaxed and they hug. Cut to Dawson sitting with his parents at the kitchen table.)",
"Mitch: There's no question. You have to go to the police.",
"Gail: Honey, whoever these men are that Joey's dad is dealing with, if they are capable of burning down a building then they are capable of much worse.",
"Dawson: I realize that but how can I do this to Joey? I mean, she finally gets her family back and I'm going to be the one that's going to take it away from her?",
"Mitch: Joey's father is responsible here, not you.",
"Dawson: But what if...what if I just gave him some time? Maybe he could change things.",
"Mitch: The man just got out of prison less than a month ago and he's already committed the same crime that landed him there in the first place.",
"Dawson: I just wish that I never saw what I saw.",
"Gail: There's a reason that you did, honey. Joey's in danger and she needs your strength. Even if that strength doesn't come in the way that she wants.",
"Mitch: You have to go to the police. There's really nothing else left that you can do.",
"Dawson: There is one thing.",
"(He gets up. Cut to Jack and Jen in Jack's house.)",
"Jack: You didn't make a move tonight. You stood there and you watched that fire. Why?",
"Jen: I was in shock, alright?",
"Jack: No, I don't believe you.",
"Jen: I don't remember, Jack.",
"Jack: I want the truth, Jen. All your little comments, how much do you mean them?",
"Jen: I'm not the kind of person that would take their own life, if that's what you're thinking, Jack. But...but when I was standing there, looking at that fire, I couldn't help but thinking maybe...maybe this is Fate's way of providing me with an out. Jack, I don't want to die but I didn't care enough to run.",
"Jack: I understand what you're going through. I know how numbing the pain of hating yourself is. You know, it makes you just want to push everybody away especially the people who care about you the most. But you can't. Not if you plan on ever being happy.",
"(They hug. Cut to Joey sitting by herself on some lawn chairs by the creek. Dawson walks up.)",
"Dawson: Hey...",
"Joey: Hey. You called.",
"Dawson: Yeah. Ahh (sighs) What I have to tell you you're not going to like...so I'm just going to say it really quickly. Joey, your father's dealing drugs again.",
"Joey: (defensively & angrily) You don't know that.",
"Dawson: Yes, I do. I caught him. And that's not all. This fire tonight was not all, but partially his repsonsibility. I talked to him about it, I talked to my parents about it, I didn't want to talk to you about it because I didn't want you to know but..now it's gone too far.",
"Joey: (shaking her head defensively) He told me he had nothing to do with the fire. He swore to me.",
"Dawson: He's lying to you.",
"Joey: Well, I believe him.",
"Dawson: I know you want to believe him.",
"Joey: No, I do.",
"Dawson: Joey, why would I lie about this?",
"Joey: Why are you doing this?",
"Dawson: Because you need to know the truth. Alright, this is a very dangerous situation right now. If your father could help apprehend the people who are responsible for this, if we went to the police and maybe you can work something out for your dad.",
"Joey: You want me to turn my own father in? What kind of a person do you think I am? Why are you doing this?",
"Dawson: Joey, this isn't my fault!",
"Joey: Yes, it is!",
"Dawson: There's no other option!",
"Joey: You just couldn't keep well enough alone?! You had to get involved?!",
"Dawson: Joey, I love you! I'm not going to let you risk your life to protect somebody who isn't protecting you.",
"Joey: Dawson, this is my father. I am begging you, just stay out of it.",
"Dawson: I can't.",
"Joey: Yes, you can. I mean, not just for me or my family's sake but for us. I'm telling you, Dawson. We won't survive this.",
"Dawson: That's a risk that I'm willing to take. Because I care about you more than I care about myself. And somebody has to do the right thing. If you can't, then I will.",
"(Joey slowly sits back down in her lawn chair. Cut to Joey, Dawson, and Dawson's parents in Mr.Witter's office.)",
"Mr.Witter: If I have to wait until I have enough proof to arrest your father, then he's going away for life.",
"Joey: You don't even have proof? Then why should I go along with this?",
"Mr.Witter: Joey, the men who tipped me off to your father's dealing are his competitors. They're also responsible for that fire last night. If your father doesn't help me get them, they're going to keep helping me until I get him.",
"Joey: You guys have no idea what you're asking me to do.",
"Mr.Witter: He's putting your entire family in danger.",
"Joey: Yeah, well, it's my family, Mr.Witter. And what benefits my family is being together and trusting each other.",
"Mr.Witter: Don't you think your father's betrayed that trust?",
"Joey: Well, right now I think I trust him a lot more than I trust any of you.",
"Dawson: You know what? Could we just have a couple of minutes alone?",
"(Mr.Witter nods and him and Dawson's parents get up and leave.)",
"Dawson: He wants to help, Joey. He cares. We all do.",
"Joey: (coldly) I appreciate the concern, Dawson. What I don't appreciate is having the solution forced down my throat.",
"Dawson: I tried to talk to your father--",
"Joey: That's just it, Dawson. You tried. But he's not your father, Dawson. It doesn't matter if he goes off to prison for the rest of your life, does it?",
"Dawson: That's why I came to you.",
"Joey: Yeah, with the decision already made!",
"Dawson: Joey, I wish there was another option but there isn't! You have to understand that!",
"Joey: I understand, Dawson, that in that black and white world in which you live, you didn't see any choices, but that's not my world. I see things in gray and that's what makes us different and that's what made me fall in love with you and that's what is tearing us apart.",
"(She leaves the room. Dawson sighs and runs his hands through his hair. Cut to Mitch and Gail sitting outside of their house on a picnic table.)",
"Mitch: We did well with our son.",
"Gail: Our one success.",
"Mitch: We've had more success than that, Gail. For the past 24 hours, they have reminded me so much of how I love to be a part of this family. Dawson was able to count on us when he needed to and I felt like a father again. And if you can believe it, a husband.",
"Gail: Oh, Mitch.",
"(Mitch kneels before her.)",
"Mitch: Stay here with me. With us. Please.",
"Gail: You see, ever since you left I have prayed for the day that you'd come back and when that didn't happen, I started seeing Philly for what it was. And oddly enough, it felt more right than anything had in a long time.",
"Mitch: But we can be right again, too, Gail. I want my whole life back. I want us.",
"Gail: No, you want what we had. We'll never have that again, Mitch. So I'm going to do something that's right for both of us, I'm going to take the unplanned route for a little while in hopes that whatever we lost, we'll be able to stumble upon again.",
"Mitch: Did Dawson understand?",
"Gail: He understands how much I love him. That's enough, I think.",
"(Cut to Jen climbing the steps to Grams. She opens the door and Grams sees her.)",
"Jen: I have three conditions.",
"Grams: What are they?",
"Jen: One - that we address the reality of why this didn't work out before. I know I made some mistakes. But even on my best behavior I never felt that I was comfortable living here with you. I never felt I was good enough.",
"Grams: Oh, Jennifer.",
"Jen: Two - I need you to acknowledge that I've been through a lot in my life. More than most girls my age, and what I need is your support, not your judgement. Especially not His judgement.",
"Grams: Okay..I think I can manage that.",
"Jen: What you need to understand, Grams, I don't need a legal guardian to be able to survive and I can handle a lot more than you think. But what I want..is to live here with you. I want a family. I want us to take care of each other and I don't want to be alone anymore.",
"Grams: Neither do I.",
"(They hug.)",
"Grams: Was there a third?",
"Jen: Yes. There's somebody else who doesn't want to be alone anymore either.",
"(She motions towards Jack. Grams looks and sighs.)",
"Grams: Well, I've been meaning to clear out your grandfather's room for awhile.",
"(Jen and Grams hug again. Cut to Pacey leaning against the railing by the water. Mr.Witter walks up.)",
"Pacey: What are you doing here?",
"Mr.Witter: Well, for starters, you punched me.",
"Pacey: If you came looking for an apoligy, you're barking up the wrong tree.",
"Mr.Witter: No, I don't want one. I deserved it.",
"(Pacey looks at him, confused.)",
"Mr.Witter: Good for you for doing it. You got another phone call today. It was Andie. We talked for a long time...she's uh...kinda chatty, that one.",
"Pacey: (smiles) Yeah, she is.",
"Mr.Witter: She sounded sweet as hell, Pacey. So I'm sorry what I said yesterday, I really don't know anything about her.",
"Pacey: Apoligy accepted.",
"(He starts to walk away.)",
"Mr.Witter: No, I'm not done. As little as I know about her, I know even less about you, my own son. I realized that as Andie was trying to fill me in on what you two had been through...",
"(Pacey looks like he's on the verge of tears.)",
"Mr.Witter: (cont.) I didn't know about any of that. She said you were her hero...that was nice to hear. Anyways, I called your school and explained things to them. They said they're going to let you make up the finals next week, when you feel up to it.",
"Pacey: Thank you.",
"Mr.Witter: It's the least I could do. (pauses) I'm sorry I'm not the kind of father that you felt you could share your story with...",
"(A single tear runs down Pacey's face as he fights off as many tears as he can.)",
"Mr.Witter: And just one other thing...Andie wanted me to give you something...",
"(Mr.Witter hugs Pacey. They pull away and Pacey starts crying and throws his arms around his dad again.)",
"Pacey: Oh, God....I miss her so much....I miss her so much it's killing me, Pops...",
"Mr.Witter: I know you do, son, I know.",
"(Cut to Mr.Potter in the Potter living room looking at a picture of Joey with her mother. Joey walks in stiffly and slowly, very nervous looking.)",
"Joey: Dad.",
"Mr.Potter: Joey. Where'd you run off to this morning? I cooked you breakfast.",
"Joey: What's with the police?",
"Mr.Potter: Oh...",
"Joey: Are you dealing drugs again?",
"Mr.Potter: (starts crying and slowly nods.) Yes.",
"Joey: (starts to cry) Why?",
"Mr.Potter: Joey, I wish I had an answer for ya. I wanted to provide for my family. Not just survive, but provide. I thought that if I just made a little extra money, get ahead, maybe there'd be a chance for us...",
"Joey: Yeah but you served your time! You were supposed to start a new life!",
"Mr.Potter: I wanted to, Joey. But what you don't understand is the burden I felt.",
"Joey: We were a burden?",
"Mr.Potter: No! You girls are my gift. The burden was self-afflicted. Ever since I moved back in here with you, I have been haunted...by the knowledge that I have failed you.",
"Joey: Then why didn't you tell me about this? We could have found a way. We could have done something!",
"Mr.Potter: I was just too weak, Joey!",
"(He reaches out to touch her and she pulls away quickly.)",
"Mr.Potter: I have been up night after night after night wondering what compelled me to take that road both times...and I don't have an answer for it.",
"Joey: But I trusted you! And you lied and you ruined everything Bessie and I have worked so hard for. I mean, we could have died in that fire and it would have been your fault!",
"Mr.Potter: I know, I know, I know and I hate myself so much for it that I wish I had died in that fire! I just...I don't know what to do...I don't know how to fix this...all I know is that I am so, so sorry.",
"Joey: (gets a grip on herself, her tears stop somewhat) I'm sorry, too. I took care of it for you.",
"(She lifts up the bottom of her shirt revealing that she has been wearing a wire. She looks at her dad with tears in her eyes.)",
"Joey: (whispers) I'm so sorry.",
"Mr.Potter: Don't be.",
"(Cut to Mr.Potter and Joey walking out of their house. He turns back around and looks at Joey. He walks towards the patrol cars past Bessie. He looks at Bessie and she looks away, crying. He gets in the patrol car. Bessie walks towards the house and up the stairs and looks at Joey and keeps walking. Joey looks over to find Dawson standing there. She slowly walks towards him.)",
"Dawson: How are you feeling?",
"Joey: (deadly cold) Like hell.",
"Dawson: Is there anything I can do?",
"Joey: (cold again) No thank you.",
"Dawson: You did the right thing, Joey.",
"Joey: No, Dawson. You did the right thing. What I did...the word right doesn't even come close to.",
"Dawson: We both did what we had to do.",
"Joey: (glares at him) What I have to say, you're not going to like, so I'll say it quickly. I hope one day that I'll be able to forgive my father for all of this, and I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive myself, but I know that I will never forgive you. See, Dawson, there are certain circumstances that love can not overcome and from now on...I don't want to know you.",
"(She turns and goes into her house. Dawson stands there, shocked and heartbroken and he forces out a whisper.)",
"Dawson: See ya, Joey.",
"(Cue ending credits.)"

"Dawson returns from spending the summer in Philadelphia with his mother, and on the journey home meets a beautiful blonde girl, Eve, who takes a liking to him. He hasn't spoken to Joey all summer. Jen gets an unexpected offer after she stands up to the school's popular crowd. Mitch becomes the new coach of the high school football team, and leaves for a coaching conference. In a moment of madness, Dawson crashes Mitch's boat and he and Pacey hatch a crazy plan to raise money to fix it. Joey offers herself to Dawson but he rejects her. Pacey awaits the return of Andie, who has spent the summer in the hospital."

"(Cut to a bus cruising down the street with destination of CAPE COD written on the front. 'Old Time Rock & Roll' is blaring in the background. Cut to the interior of the bus where Dawson is sleeping with his headphones on, head resting on his shirt. He wakes up and notices the girl sitting next to him. It's EVE. She says something to him but he can't hear because of the headphones. He takes them off.)",
"Dawson: Sorry.",
"Eve: You're drooling. On your chin. Saliva from sleep.",
"(Dawson moves to wipe it off.)",
"Eve: Did you know that you're a very heavy breather?",
"Dawson: No.",
"Eve: Oh, and an insinuating, conversationalist, just my luck. What's on your lap?",
"(Dawson looks at her.)",
"Eve: Not that! The movie, what are you watching?",
"Dawson: Oh, uh, Risky Business.",
"Eve: The one with Tom Cruise?",
"Dawson: Yep, and Rebecca DeMourney(sp?).",
"Eve: The one where they do it on the train. And it's unbelievably sweet and believable even though he's a virgin and she's a battle-scarred hooker who's done it with hundreds of men.",
"Dawson: It's more of a myth. Joseph Campbell meets Sigmeund Freud meets Holden Caulfield. A teenage boy passes into manhood with a sexual encounter with a beautiful woman who's essentially a fantasy character of his own creation.",
"Eve: Hey, you're adorable. What's your name?",
"Dawson: Dawson. Dawson Leery.",
"(They shake hands. Dawson has to pull away first.)",
"Dawson: You alright?",
"Eve: My father taught me. Always when shaking hands make sure the other guy pulls away first. It's a powerful advantage in all human intercourse.",
"Dawson: Actually...I meant your skin...do you have a fever or something?",
"Eve: No, it's just me. It's my temperature. I run a few degrees hot. So...when are you going to tell me about your girlfriend?",
"(Dawson looks at her. Cut to opening credits.)",
"(Cut to Joey holding a gas nozzle in a boat at LOGAN'S MARINA. She checks her watch. A figure approaches. It's ROB LOGAN.)",
"ROB: I'll take it from here, Potter.",
"Joey: You said you'd be here by eight o'clock.",
"Rob: Isn't that sweet? Little girl is nervous about missing the first day of school. Oh the Salad Days! I remember them well.",
"Joey: Spare me the Shakespeare, Rob. My last class ends at 2:30. I should be back here by 3:00.",
"Rob: Don't be late.",
"(Cut to two Eggos popping out of the toaster. Jack grabs them and puts them on a plate. Jen grabs that plate and another plate with two Eggos and takes them to the kitchen table and then grabs two glasses while Jack simultaneously pours milk into each one. Then, they both sit down to breakfast and they notice Grams watching them.)",
"Jack & Jen (simultaneously): What?",
"Grams: And how long have you two been married?",
"(Jack turns and smiles at Jen. They laugh. Cut to Pacey and Dawson in the Leery kitchen.)",
"Pacey: And what happened when you woke up?",
"Dawson: She morphed into pure oxygen air and just vanished.",
"Pacey: I hate it when that happens!",
"Dawson: It was the weirdest night. She was like the perfect girl and one minute she's sitting right next to me and the next, (he snaps), she's gone.",
"Pacey: You know, usually when I have moments like that happen, I have to change the sheets afterwards.",
"Dawson: Hey, she wasn't real.",
"Pacey: What about the one that is real?",
"(Dawson pauses.)",
"Dawson: What about her?",
"Pacey: Well, today is the day. Dawson Leery and Joey Potter have been apart for months now, in fact, the whole summer has passed and the whole world is waiting to figure out what's going to happen.",
"Dawson: Maybe you and the whole world haven't heard me the last 50,000 times that I've said that it's over.",
"Pacey: Yeah, until she speaks to you.",
"Dawson: She won't.",
"Pacey: I think you underestimate the healing powers of time, Dawson. Time for Joey to forgive and forget.",
"Dawson: Even if Joey came up to me today and said I forgive and I forget, I wouldn't. I can't forget that this past year has been a hellish nightmare. I spent it verbalizing and angsting instead of living. I need to just learn how to exist, and question things later.",
"Pacey: Ladies and gentlemen, Capesidians of all ages, new and fresh from Philadelphia, Dawson Leery. Now, just to play devil's advocate here, let's say you go to school today and Joey comes up and starts apologizing. She does that cute little hair flip thing she does and locks those truly remarkable brown eyes of hers on you...what do you do?",
"Dawson: I'll tell her that it's over. That it's been over and that we're better off without each other.",
"(Mitch enters the kitchen.)",
"Mitch: Dawson, I'm off to my coaching conference.",
"Dawson: Alright...",
"Mitch: I'll write down the number of the hotel where I'll be.",
"Pacey: Coaching conference?",
"Dawson: What? You haven't heard yet? Substitute Mitch is Capeside High's new varsity football coach.",
"Pacey: Congratulations, Mr. Leery. How are our trusted Minutemen doing? What's the streak now...0 and 38?",
"(Dawson smiles.)",
"Mitch: Pacey, you have little faith. I can assure you as a former Minuteman myself that this season will be a winning one. Here.",
"Dawson: See ya on Sunday, Dad.",
"Mitch: Bye.",
"Pacey: Wait, you're just going to walk out like that? No father/son warning, no rules and regulations, no impending doom shall your sainted son misbehave.",
"Mitch: Good idea. Keep Pacey out of the house.",
"(Mitch winks and leaves.)",
"(Cut to Junior assembly in Capeside Auditorium. Jen and Jack are sitting together.)",
"Jack: If I start to fall asleep, don't wake me, okay?",
"(The cheerleaders walk up including the head cheerleader, Belinda.)",
"Belinda: Jen Lindley. How was your summer? Host, you know, gang bangs?",
"Jen: I have a really scathing comeback right now but I'm thinking that I should show you a little sympathy, seeing as the lypo didn't take...",
"(Belinda storms off with her herd of cheerleaders behind her. Jack and Jen laugh. Cut to Dawson and Pacey.)",
"Pacey: She should be here any minute. It's the junior assembly. She has to come!",
"Dawson: Pacey, that's enough, alright?",
"(Cut to the new principal speaking.)",
"Principal: Hello, I'm Principal Green. Like you, when I was a junior, I had a new principal and on our first day back he stood before us and told us some earnest and touching words. Words that were to usher us into what he called one of the best years of our lives. This is not that speech. We're living in a different time. You children are thinking like people twice your age.",
"(Joey enters silently through the back door of the auditorium and Pacey turns and glimpses her...)",
"Principal (cont.): ...The rites of passage that once existed before us are now almost extinct.",
"(Principal continues speaking...Cut to Pacey turning to Dawson.)",
"Pacey: She just walked in. She's right back there. Right over your shoulder...",
"Dawson: Pacey...",
"(Cut to Principal's view of the crowd.)",
"Principal: ...For example, like that gentlemen in the 5th row who's talking...",
"(Everyone turns and looks at Pacey. Pacey points at himself.)",
"Pacey: Me?",
"Principal: Please stand, sir.",
"Pacey: (muttering) That didn't take very long.",
"Principal: What's your name, sir?",
"Pacey: I don't suppose you'd accept Shaga Verra, would ya?",
"(The crowd laughs.)",
"Pacey: Pacey, Pacey Witter.",
"Principal: Mr. Witter. Mr. Witter I'd like to applaud you for being the first student I've met at Capeside who actually acts like one. I hope that someday you all will act as one. Reclaim your youth. Live, learn, screw up. I applaud you, Mr. Witter.",
"(The crowd applauses.)",
"Principal: Oh, and I'll see you on Saturday. In detention...",
"(Cut to the signups for cheerleading. Belinda, the head cheerleader, checks out the girl signing up.)",
"Belinda: Sally, who're we kidding? Lay off the hot dogs and try Four-H. That's where they're looking for the prize hogs.",
"(The girl walks off and Belinda turns to the other cheerleaders.)",
"Belinda (cont.): She only came over here in the first place because somebody made one too many Krispy Kreme pit-stops over the summer.",
"(The cheerleader is upset. Cut to Jack and Jen, watching.)",
"Jen: Now I know how anthropologists feel when they stumble across one of those lost tribes whose ancient rituals have remained untouched by time.",
"Jack: What I don't get is why anyone wants to be a cheerleader in the first place?",
"(Jen considers the thought and gets an idea.)",
"Jen: There's only one way to find out.",
"(Jen heads toward the sign up table. She starts to sign up.)",
"Belinda: Jen, what're you doing?",
"Jen: Signing up for try-outs.",
"Belinda: Lemme think about that... NOT!",
"Jen: You sure, Belinda? Haven't you ever wondered if I've got what it takes to hold the pom-poms?",
"(Belinda smiles.)",
"Belinda: Okay, Lindley. You're on. Tomorrow at three. Be prompt.",
"Jen: Will do.",
"(Cut to Pacey and Dawson across the room.)",
"Pacey: Principal Green seems cool. Good sense of humor. He was joking about that whole see you Saturday stuff, right?",
"Dawson: I'm not sure, Pace. He seemed rather...",
"(Dawson spots Joey and cuts his thoughts off mid-sentence.)",
"Pacey: Dawson... Dawson... Was there supposed to be a second part to that sentence?",
"Dawson: You were right. I'm gonna break. I'm gonna crumble-- It's Joey Potter at three o'clock.",
"Pacey: Oooh.",
"Dawson: Get me out of here. Anywhere.",
"Pacey: Anywhere?",
"Dawson: Someplace Joey Potter'll never find me.",
"Pacey: Well, for a mere $25, young sir, I think I have just the place.",
"(They turn to leave and Joey looks up in time to spot them heading the other way. Cut to Joey's house. Bessie is finishing dinner and Joey enters.)",
"Bessie: Hey, Jo.",
"Joey: No, I'm not Joey. I'm just the shell of her exhausted remains. I swear Bessie, if I have to work another hour for that nimrod of a boss --",
"Bessie: It's just that until the insurance money comes through, then we'll have enough for a sitter and I'll get a job.",
"Joey: No speech required. I remember the bargain, if you can call it that.",
"(Bessie sits down with Joey.)",
"Bessie: So? Tell me everything.",
"Joey: We got a new Principal.",
"Bessie: Not about school. About Dawson. What was it like seeing him again?",
"(Joey looks at Bessie's excited reaction and starts lying...)",
"Joey: It was great.",
"Bessie: So, what'd he say? C'mon, Joey, I spend most of my conversations with a teething baby, your sister could use a little vicarious pleasure.",
"Joey: He just looked at me and I looked at him. In that split second, it was like we forgave each other for everything. And then, of course, we talked about it until we were blue in the face. Just like old times.",
"Bessie: I'm glad, Jo. You two are meant for each other. If I'm sure of anything, that's it.",
"Joey: Yeah...",
"(Joey sighs...Cut to: Pacey and Dawson at a strip club.)",
"Dawson: I think I'm having a religious experience.",
"Pacey: That would be Wendy, who is a second year biology student at Woodtold(?).",
"Dawson: How on earth do you know this?",
"Pacey: It's in her bio. And, according to this, she also likes small children, big men, snowboarding and the color green.",
"(A waitress approaches.)",
"Waitress: What can I get you gentlemen?",
"Pacey: Well, I will have a couple of beers and my friend here will have a tall glass of milk.",
"(Dawson smirks and the waitress walks off.)",
"Pacey: You know, sitting here, something occurs to me, Dawson.",
"Dawson: What?",
"Pacey: The meaning of life. Specifically, yours.",
"Dawson: Not another diatribe of my manhood, or lack thereof.",
"Pacey: No, I'm serious here! I just had a blinding vision about the purpose of your junior year.",
"Dawson: You mean, besides the massive and dibilitated college anxiety?",
"Pacey: Yes, sometime during the course of this whole year you are going to get laid.",
"(Dawson laughs.)",
"Pacey: C'mon, man, in keeping with this whole new attitude thing you've got going. You met that girl on the bus, didn't ya?",
"Dawson: Yeah, and I put her to sleep with all the talk about my ex-girlfriend, Pacey. I think it's pretty safe to assume that I'm not going to be hearing from her anytime soon.",
"(The waitress comes and sets the glass of beer down in front of Pacey.)",
"Pacey: Thank you.",
"(She sets a glass of milk down in front of Dawson. Then, she slides herself between Dawson and Pacey, facing Dawson.)",
"Pacey: You know, this is actually a group here.",
"Waitress (to Dawson): You don't remember me, do you?",
"Dawson: Should I?",
"Waitress: Feel this.",
"(She places her hand on his neck. He looks at her surprised.)",
"Waitress: That's right.",
"(She stands up and takes of the wig revealing Eve, the girl from the bus.)",
"Eve: It's me.",
"(Dawson smiles. Cut to commercial break. Cut to Dawson and Pacey walking up to Dawson's house.)",
"Pacey: (beginning of sentence cut off on my tape) -by little Creekside village, Dawson Leery has once again proven successful in his endeavor to avoid Miss Joey Potter. Although, I am starting to question your committment to la vida loca.",
"Dawson: Why? Because I didn't talk to my ex?",
"Pacey: No, man! Because you didn't hook up with bus girl last night!",
"Dawson: Number One, she was working. And you saw me give her my number, it's up to her to use it.",
"Pacey: And if she does?",
"Dawson: She won't.",
"Pacey: Dawson, I wouldn't be so sure of that.",
"Dawson: What is the likelihood of someone of that degree of life experience and sexual liberation to take regard in someone who is having to take their PSATs.",
"(Dawson opens the door to his house finding...Eve in his living room.)",
"Pacey: Oh, I'd say about the chances of finding her in your living room.",
"Eve: Hey Dawson.",
"Dawson: Hi, um, what did you, um, I-I'm sorry, um, h-how did you, um--",
"Pacey: This is excited teenage male for \"How did you get in?\"",
"Eve: I thought I'd surprise you and take you up on your offer for a date. It was hot outside and the door was open so I let myself in.",
"Dawson: It's Capeside. We don't exactly lock up...",
"Eve: Hm, interesting. What else don't you do?",
"Pacey: Oooh, (to Dawson) I need to talk to you for a second.",
"(Pacey pulls him into the kitchen.)",
"Pacey: Normally, at this point in the plot, the best friend exits stage left leaving the brand new Dawson Leery all alone with the mystery woman in his parentless house.",
"Dawson: (laughs) I'm freaking out. This is a little too high in the too good to be true category.",
"Pacey: I understand. But as someone who's been there before, I'm telling you, all you need now is some separation. A little time to calm down, catch your breath, and realize that you are in complete control of this situation.",
"Dawson: I am not in complete control.",
"Pacey: Oh but you will be.",
"(Pacey grabs the keys to Mitch's boat and holds them in front of Dawson.)",
"Pacey: The boat.",
"Dawson: What about it?",
"Pacey: I think you should take it out for a little spin.",
"Dawson: Pacey, that's my dad's boat. Dad being the possesive in that sentence.",
"Pacey: Under the circumstances...",
"(Dawson and Pacey lean around the corner and look at Eve.)",
"Pacey (cont.): I think he'd understand.",
"(Pacey looks at him and takes the keys and drops them into Dawson's hands. Cut to cheerleading tryouts. A girl is up on stage getting ready to start. The music begins and she starts cheering.)",
"Girl: (in the tune of 'I Don't Want to Wait' by Paula Cole) We don't want to wait, for this game to be over, we want to root right now--",
"(Belinda sounds the horn.)",
"Belinda: Thank you! Next!",
"Girl: Um, I didn't get to finish my cheer.",
"Belinda: Um, Stacy. Get a mitt, and catch a clue. It's your third year trying out for the Minute Girls. Your waist line is thicker and your hairstyle is even more outdated. The only reason we even let you get this far is because we wanted to see what lame song you picked to cheer to.",
"(Belinda sounds the horn again and the girl walks off the stage.)",
"Belinda: Next up, Miss Jen Lindley!",
"Jack: (to Jen) Are you sure you still want to do this?",
"Jen: Are you kidding me? Now more than ever.",
"(Jen walks onstage.)",
"Belinda: I'm sure you'll dazzle us, Jen. I mean, we all know how flexible you are.",
"(Jen gives her an evil look. She grabs the microphone.)",
"Jen: When you see Belinda and her clique in the hallway, you're desperately wishing you were walking with them, aren't you? You think that maybe if you were wearing the right shoes, sporting the latest hairstyle, and using the hottest shade of lip gloss, then maybe they'd toss a glance in your direction. Have you ever wondered why they force their narrow minded views down our throats? Maybe it's because they have an inkling about what's in store for them after graduation. Cut to 25 years from now when Belinda McGovern wakes up feeling empty. Maybe it's because her Dartmouth-educated-lawyer-husband Ted has run off to Tiawana with her daughter's roomate from boarding school. Or maybe it's because the twins, Timmy and Tommy, call her my her first name and their live-in housekeeper, Mom. Or maybe it's because of her 2 o'clock, 5 o'clock, 7 o'clock and 9:15 showdown with her bottle of Prozac. Her life has become a domestic wasteland. Avoid this fate. Don't become another cookie cutter, blonde, size 4, rah-rah-sis-bam-boom, mindless, soulless, spineless wench. Screw these auditions. Screw cheerleading. And screw Belinda McGovern.",
"(The crowd stands up and applauses loudly.)",
"(Cut to Logan's Marina. Rob opens the door to the back room to reveal Joey in mid-change.)",
"Joey: Hey! I'm changing here.",
"Rob: Man, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were back here. I wanted a Coke.",
"(He grabs a Coke from the fridge.)",
"Joey: You just happened to \"get thirsty\" right when I'm standing here half naked?",
"Rob: I hadn't noticed that coincidence. (He takes a sip.) You know what, I think I'm in the mood for a 7-UP instead.",
"(Rob gets a 7-UP and takes a long drink.)",
"Rob: I'll knock next time.",
"Joey: Next time I'll lock the door.",
"(Cut to Dawson on Mitch's boat with Eve.)",
"Dawson: What're you looking at?",
"Eve: You should take off your shirt.",
"Dawson: --Any particular reason?",
"Eve: I'd like to see you with it off. What's the matter, too brazen for you?",
"Dawson: No. Yes. I mean... sometimes I just think I was born in the wrong time. The wrong century, even.",
"Eve: What? Tights and powder and a wig more your style? Or just: club her over the head and drag her into the cave?",
"Dawson: Well.... The latter choice does have a certain appealing simplicity. I'm sorry. I guess, I'm a little nervous.",
"Eve: How come you're nervous?",
"Dawson: The same reason you're not.",
"Eve: Oh, but I am.",
"Dawson: You are?",
"Eve: Of course. Listen, Dawson... anything that's worth anything is scary, or dangerous, in one way or another.",
"Dawson: That's a fairly extreme world view--",
"Eve: Not at all. Without fear, there would be no accomplishment. No testing of our limitations. No fun.",
"Dawson: Who are you? And where do you come from?",
"Eve: You said it yourself, Dawson. I'm a fantasy of your own creation.",
"(Eve moves up really close to Dawson and puts her arms around him.)",
"Eve: I can feel your heart. Beating.",
"Dawson: You can?",
"Eve: It's going a million miles an hour. Slow down.",
"Dawson: Huh?",
"Eve: The boat.",
"(Dawson slows it down.)",
"Eve: That's better. Reduce speed. The problem with teenage s*x is that it's something you \"do\"... it's something you \"get done.\" You're a virgin, aren't you, Dawson?",
"Dawson: What comes become virgin?",
"(She smiles and moves in front of him.)",
"Eve: Everything but.",
"Dawson: Everything but what?",
"Eve: That's what comes \"before\".",
"(She kisses him. Dawson pulls away.)",
"Dawson: Careful. I can't see.",
"(She starts moving slowly downward.)",
"Dawson: What.... What're you doing?",
"Eve: Well, if you're not going to take off your shirt....",
"Dawson: What's your name?",
"Eve: Eve. You can call me Eve.",
"Dawson: Eve. That's a biblical name.",
"Eve: I'll try and live up to it.",
"(Eve goes completely out of picture \"below the border\", if you know what I mean. Cut to the boat, crashed, at Logan's Marina. Joey saw the accident.)",
"Joey: Oh my God! Are you alright?!",
"Dawson: I..(realizing it's Joey) I think so.",
"(Eve laughs and comes into view.)",
"Eve: Crashes are so intense.",
"Dawson: Joey, this is Eve. Eve, this is Joey.",
"Joey: And suddenly everything comes clear.",
"Rob (to Joey): Wait a minute. You know this moron?",
"Joey: I thought I did.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"(She walks back up the dock. Cut to commercial break. Cut to Rob calculating damages.)",
"Rob: Salvage charges plus yard costs plus carpentry and painting, I'd say you're looking at three-grand easy. Provided none of the gaskets blew, or engine mounts cracked, as result of the collision.",
"Dawson: Three thousand dollars?",
"Rob: Give or take.",
"Dawson: I should've gone down with the ship.",
"Rob: No argument here.",
"(Dawson walks towards Eve, who is sitting on the dock.)",
"Eve: Things could be worse.",
"Dawson: That's what they said to King Lear before he lost his mind and his daughter killed herself. Or was it the other way around?",
"Eve: Come on, Dawson! No one was hurt, and you'll never forget this day as long as you live.",
"Dawson: That's what I'm afraid of.",
"Eve: Everybody wants life to go smoothly. But the truth is, it's the mistakes that keep things interesting.",
"Dawson: Another treacly truism and my sweet tooth is gonna start to ache.",
"Eve: Wait a second! You're mad at me!",
"Dawson: It's just...you made me crash...",
"Eve: Made you what?! I didn't make you do anything!",
"Dawson: Maybe I'm just not ready. For any of this.",
"Eve: Ready? Dawson, I've known you for 48 hours, but I think it's safe to say that you gotta stop living from the neck up.",
"(She starts to leave.)",
"Dawson: Don't go!",
"Eve: You're going to have to do a lot better than that.",
"Dawson: I'm thinking about something I read once. That a man's character is his fate.",
"Eve: And?",
"Dawson: And this isn't me, Eve. I don't meet strange girls on a bus. Or drive my father's boat without permission. Look what happens when I do. Unmitigated disaster.",
"Eve: Well that's too bad. Because this girl just wants to have fun.",
"(Eve leaves. Cut to Jen walking down the Capeside hallway, in a trance. Jack catches up with her.)",
"Jack: What's the matter, Jen? You look like your dog just died.",
"Jen: I don't have a dog.",
"Jack: I know that.",
"Jen: That's right, you know that.",
"Jack: Jen...what is it?",
"(A cute \"popular\" guy walks by, grinning at her and gives her a congratulations.)",
"Jack: Who was that?",
"Jen: No clue. I'm going to have to leave school. Immediately.",
"Jack: Why?",
"(Around her, girls giggle and say hi as Jen continues in her trance.)",
"Jen: The unthinkable has happened.",
"(Principal Green walks by.)",
"Principal: Good going, Ms. Lindley.",
"(Jen smiles.)",
"Jack: What? You've become popular?",
"Jen: Worse. Follow me.",
"(Jen heads to her locker and starts opening it.)",
"Jen: It was a coup d'etat. A mutiny. A slave revolt. Belinda McGovern has been excommunicated by her brainless bishops.",
"Jack: Help me out here. I don't think I understand.",
"Jen: (She shows him the pom poms) They're the golden ones. With the rhinestone-studded handles.",
"Jack: Don't tell me they made you a cheerleader?",
"Jen: Oh, no.",
"Jack: Thank God.",
"Jen: They made me Head Cheerleader.",
"Jack: That's cool.",
"(Jack cracks up laughing. Jen throws one of her pom poms at him. Cut to Joey and Bessie out front of Joey's house with laundry.)",
"Bessie: But I thought you said --",
"Joey: Forget what I said. I was lying, or at least, hoping for the best. The truth is, Dawson's been dodging me for the past two days.",
"Bessie: Dodging you? And then crashing Mitch's pride and joy? It's like one Dawson left for Philadelphia, and another one came back.",
"Joey: Yeah... his evil twin.",
"Bessie: Oh sis...",
"Joey: Yet another chapter in the Joey Potter sob story. Penniless girl from the wrong side of the tracks copes with a felon for a father, a slave driver for a boss, and a two-timing boyfriend -- okay, ex-boyfriend. I keep expecting them to put me on daytime TV between Ivory Snow commercials.",
"Bessie: Don't go there, Joey. You haven't spent a summer pitying yourself. Don't start now.",
"Joey: At least, he could've told me... then I wouldn't feel like such a fool.",
"Bessie: About the girl, you mean?",
"Joey: One look at her, and I knew: she's everything I'm not. Wild, confident, blonde... I feel like the little kid. Always the one getting left behind.",
"Bessie: Listen, I remember the time when there was another blonde in the picture.",
"Joey: Yeah... and look how well that turned out. Besides, it's different now.",
"Bessie: Yes. It is.",
"(Cut to Dawson and Pacey in Dawson's living room. Pacey's reading a magazine and Dawson's searching under cushions of the couch.)",
"Pacey: Look on the bright side. At least her jaw didn't lock.",
"Dawson: Remind me to start cracking jokes when your execution looms just hours away. Two more nickels, a shoelace, and a pair of sunglasses I lost two years ago. I now have a combined total of forty-two dollars and seventy-eight cents. Even if I sell my DVD player, I'm still close to two-thousand dollars short.",
"Pacey: Congratulations, Dawson. Next to Bill Clinton you will have paid more for a certain service than anyone I know.",
"Dawson: If I don't come up with this money, I'm gonna pay with my life.",
"(The doorbell rings. Dawson opens the door to find Eve.)",
"Dawson: Hello.",
"Eve: Didn't think you'd see me again? Did you?",
"Dawson: Didn't know if I wanted to.",
"Eve: Well, I'll get outta your hair. I just wanted to bring you this.",
"(She gives him an envelope. He looks inside.)",
"Eve: There's about four hundred dollars in there. It's a collection.",
"Dawson: A collection?",
"Eve: I told the girls at the club the story. They thought it was so cute they took up a collection of last night's tips.",
"Dawson: \"Cute.\" I'm now officially mortified.",
"Pacey: Never underestimate the kindess of strippers, Dawson. Lady Eve, on behalf of my luckless buddy here, we gladly accept this contribution.",
"Dawson: No, we gladly don't.",
"Eve: Why?",
"Dawson: Because. It's your money and it's my problem.",
"Eve: You were right, I pushed you too far, too fast...",
"Dawson: It was still my fault.",
"Eve: I feel responsible for what happened. And I don't feel responsible that often.",
"Dawson: It doesn't matter.",
"Eve: Just take the money...",
"Dawson: I can't.",
"(Pacey puts on the pair of sunglasses Dawson found. He looks in the mirror. He gets an idea.)",
"Pacey: Hang on a second...maybe these ladies don't have to give of their wallets. But if they could give their time and considerable talents...",
"Eve: I like where you're going with this.",
"Dawson: I don't.",
"Pacey: We'll throw a party. Here. Tonight.",
"Eve: It's genius! You'll make the cash you need in two hours tops!",
"Dawson: It's insane! I will not turn my house into a strip club! No way!",
"Pacey: Teenage boys will come, Dawson. They'll come for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up in your driveway, not knowing for sure why they're doing it, and arrive at your door, innocent as children. \"Of course, we won't mind if you look around,\" you'll say. \"It's only twenty dollars per person.\" And they'll pass over money without even looking at it. For it is money they have and breasts they lack. No, Dawson. Teenage boys will come. They will most definitely come.",
"(Cut to the Leery house at night. Pacey is standing outside with a LONG line of teenage males.)",
"Pacey: Step right up gentlemen, with money in hand. For you are about to enter the Leery house of inequity. Oh and gentlemen, Chino here (motioning towards the muscular man) has strict orders to break any part of your body that touches the ladies, (to guy in front of line) understand? Alright, get up there!",
"(Cut to Dawson walking through his house full of strippers dancing on tables. Eve walks up to him counting money.)",
"Eve: At the rate we're going we'll have something left over for Jerry's Kids.",
"Dawson: There's something so not right about this.",
"Some Guy: This is so freakin' awesome!",
"Dawson (to Eve): Are you alright?",
"(She nods.)",
"Dawson: I'm going to go lay down.",
"(Cut to Dawson in his bedroom. He lays back on his bed.)",
"Joey: Hey.",
"(Dawson turns to find Joey sitting at his desk.)",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Joey: Rager downstairs, huh?",
"Dawson: Yeah. Less than a week into Junior year and already my life's in complete and utter upheaval.",
"Joey: Then I'm probably the last person you want to see.",
"Dawson: You're a lot of things, Joey. You're never the last person I want to see.",
"(Joey gets up and moves to sit by him on the bed.)",
"Joey: Dawson, um, I'm sorry. Not just about today. About everything. About my dad, I was wrong. However, in that total moment of adolescent anger and upset, I lashed out at the one person who cares about me the most. Who I care about the most.",
"Dawson: You should have called me, Jo. Or written. You should have contacted me.",
"Joey: I should have done a lot of things. But I was so....ashamed. I figured I'd ignore life for awhile. But you can't do that forever, can you?",
"Dawson: No, you can't.",
"Joey: Who is she?",
"Dawson: Eve? I just met her.",
"Joey: Are you two...",
"Dawson: Hardly.",
"Joey: Did you miss me?",
"Dawson: You know I did.",
"Joey: Good.",
"(She moves up standing above him.)",
"Joey: Because I missed you, too.",
"Dawson: It's not the same anymore, Jo.",
"Joey: It doesn't have to be the same, Dawson. It's a new year. It can be different. It can be better.",
"(Joey pulls her shirt off and stares at Dawson as we cut to commercials. Cut back to Dawson and Joey right where we left. She moves in closer then...)",
"Dawson: No.",
"Joey: What is it? What's wrong?",
"Dawson: Everything. This is not you.",
"Joey: I can be sexual, Dawson.",
"Dawson: I know you can, Joey. But we can't do this. Not now. Not like this. Put your shirt back on.",
"(She's embarressed.)",
"Dawson: I'm sorry if you're hurt.",
"Joey: Hurt? Why would I be hurt, Dawson? I hope you're not delusional enough to think it was some embarrassing attempt at getting you back. Besides, if s*x is all you're about these days--",
"Dawson: s*x is not all I'm about, Joey. And you, more than anyone, should know that.",
"Joey: I am not responsible for your sexual inexperience.",
"Dawson: I'm not blaming you...",
"Joey: I never stopped you from being with someone else.",
"Dawson: That was particularly clear when you dumped me twice.",
"Joey: You had time, Dawson. There was plenty of time for you to have all the fun you wanted. It's not my fault if you're still a virgin.",
"Dawson: I love you, Jo. What happened between us or didn't happen was because both of us wanted it that way.",
"Joey: (whispering) What's wrong? What's so wrong with me?",
"Dawson: It's not you. It's us. I can't go through all that again. You say it will be different, but it won't be.",
"Joey: You don't know that.",
"Dawson: Yes, I do. And so do you. Joey, another year like last year and I can promise you, there will be no more love left between us.",
"Joey: So is there anything else?",
"Dawson: Yes.",
"Joey: So you love me...you just don't want me?",
"(Dawson doesn't answer. Joey starts crying and exits the room through the window. Cut to Pacey downstairs at the rager as Dawson comes down. Pacey interrupts everyone.)",
"Pacey: Kids, could I have everybody's attention please? Ladies and gentlemen, and esteemed exotic dancers, I'd like to present to you, the man that made this all possible, Dawson Leery.",
"(The crowd applaudes.)",
"Pacey: I think the preliminary results of our little pledge drive are in so Gino, if I could have the envelope, please. The unofficial tally of tonight's festivities comes to $3,162! Now, you can call me crazy, you can call me insane, but I think it's time to open this place up to the public. What do you say?",
"(The crowd cheers. Cut to Eve dragging Dawson through the crowd.)",
"Dawson: Where are we going?",
"Eve: I have a surprise.",
"Dawson: I think I should probably stay and make sure nobody burns my house down, right?",
"Eve: And why would you do that?",
"Dawson: Probably to avoid figuring out whether or not I'm going to sleep with you.",
"Eve: Follow me, Dawson. And all secrets will be revealed.",
"Dawson: Go ahead, I'll be right there.",
"(Dawson pulls Pacey off a table with a stripper and takes him outside on the porch.)",
"Dawson: She wants me back.",
"Pacey: Joey?",
"Dawson: Yeah. And as we speak the ever-tempting Eve stands in the wings waiting.",
"Pacey: Always comes down to this, my friend, doesn't it? The Madonna or the Jezebel...",
"Dawson: You should have seen her, Pace. She was standing before me as innocent and as beautiful as she's ever been and I wanted her as much as I ever have. But, I don't know, as large of a part of me that wanted me, there's as big of a part that knows that now is not the right time for us.",
"Pacey: Yeah.",
"Dawson: But I need to know she's okay. Could you talk to her? Maybe watch out for her for a couple of days?",
"Pacey: Oh, no, no, no.",
"Dawson: She needs someone. She'd never admit it, but she does.",
"Pacey: Dawson! Man....",
"Dawson: You'd be doing it for me, Pace. Please.",
"(Pacey nods. Dawson smiles and leaves the porch. Cut to Dawson meeting Eve on the dock, she's in a boat.)",
"Eve: Want to go for a ride?",
"Dawson: Is it yours?",
"Eve: It's my boss'. I talked him into letting me borrow it.",
"Dawson: I was kind of hoping that we'd graduated from the open ocean to dry land.",
"Eve: If at first you don't succeed...",
"Offscreen: DAWSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!",
"(Dawson turns to see his Dad back.)",
"Eve: Who's that?",
"Dawson: That's my father. Next stop at the home from hell.",
"Eve: Listen, Dawson, you're one step away from the rest of your life. Get in.",
"Dawson: I crashed his boat and I wrecked his house. I can't just leave.",
"Eve: There's nothing you can do tonight. Be honest. What's going to change between now and tomorrow morning?",
"Dawson: Nothing...except maybe me.",
"Eve: Last chance, Dawson.",
"Dawson: I can't.",
"Eve: You know, I don't know who's the bigger mystery. Me....or you.",
"(She smiles and drives the boat away from the dock as Dawson stares after her. Cut to Joey sitting on her dock, crying. She looks up to see Pacey rowing to her house.)",
"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 ties up the boat and jumps up to sit beside her. She looks at him angrily.)",
"Joey: He told you, didn't he? Didn't he?",
"Pacey: What do you think?",
"Joey: I think I hate you both.",
"Pacey: You're gonna hate what I'm going to say even more. He did the best thing, Joey. You two need to be apart now.",
"Joey: How would you know what I need?",
"Pacey: You're probably right. I'm sure I don't have any idea what you're going through. How hard it is to let someone go. How painful it must be to know that as right as you two are for each other, it doesn't mean you're right for each other right now. I wouldn't know a thing about that. About how it makes you want to scream, or hit someone... or cry.",
"Joey: Of all the people to see me like this, it had to be you.",
"Pacey: It's a new year, Joey. You never know, we could even end up friends.",
"Joey: Pacey, I'm upset enough as it is.",
"(He smiles and pulls her closer.)",
"Pacey: Hey Potter. C'mere.",
"(She leans against him and starts crying. Cue ending credits.)"

"As Pacey and Joey leave Capeside to collect Andie from hospital, Dawson is manipulated by his father and the school principal to produce a film about football for the upcoming pep rally. However, the ultimate stars of the film, which is seen by many students and teachers, are Dawson and Eve, who inadvertently appear semi-clothed. The same night, Jen is revealed to be the new head cheerleader and Jack, the new star of the football team, two facts which stun Pacey, Joey and Andie, who are watching from the audience. Pacey is overjoyed to be spending time with Andie, but she doesn't appear as excited to see him, and when confronted by her boyfriend, Andie makes a shocking confession to sleeping with someone else. Jack has an unexpected encounter with his father, who has returned to Capeside."

"(Pacey and Dawson are outside of Capeside High School.)",
"Pacey: I'm gonna explode, man. I mean, my insides are gurgling. Who gurgles at 16 unless they're going to explode, huh",
"Dawson: You're not going to explode",
"Pacey: Really? How do you know that, huh? I mean, some guy in Norway blew up in the middle of a supermarket last year",
"Dawson: Nervous anticipation doesn't cause spontaneous combustion",
"Pacey: Who said I was nervous",
"Dawson: It's natural that you're nervous, man, you see Andie in what? Less than six hours",
"Pacey: Five hours, twenty minutes if the traffic's right. (Holds his stomach) I guess I'm a little nervous but what do you expect",
"Dawson: Is your dad still letting you pick her up",
"Pacey: Absolutely. This train cuts at lunch",
"Dawson: Need some company",
"Pacey: Actually, Joey's going to come with me. She wanted to see Andie and per our conversation last week-",
"Dawson: Absolutely. Nobody welcomes a Potter-Witter détente more than me. I'm glad she has somebody. It'll only help as Joey and I weave our separate ways through these pathless woods we call life",
"Pacey: Speaking of wood, Dawson, whatever happened with a certain busgirl",
"Dawson: Don't ask. She vanished. Disappeared. Jonathan Krakauer-ed into thin air",
"Pacey: You let her get away?",
"Dawson: I had a slightly irate father to answer to, Pacey. It's my life, you know",
"Pacey: So what's happened since",
"Dawson: With Eve? I haven't been able to find her",
"Pacey: Did you check down at the strip joint",
"Dawson: Embarrassingly, yes. Turns out she doesn't even work there anymore. She was a temp",
"Pacey: Strip joints have temps",
"(By now, Dawson and Pacey have entered the school and are walking down a hallway.)",
"Dawson: The only information I have about her is her first name and who knows if that's for real",
"Pacey: Well, that's too bad, Dawson because Eve was the ultimate transitional woman",
"Dawson: How do you figure",
"Pacey: Well, you are coming off of a emotionally traumatic, life-altering relationship and the last thing you need to do is get emotionally involved again, right? But since you are a young, virile, increasingly buff teenage male, you have certain wants and desires. Enter Eve. A gift from the gods of rebound high. A curvaceous vixen who is meant for you to be explored in only a sexual manner..",
"(An arm reaches out and pulls Dawson into a closet, yet remaining unnoticed by Pacey who continues to walk caught up in his speech.)",
"Pacey: ...a femme fatale who's entire genetic coding screams objectify me. I'm telling you, Dawson, if you ever find her again, do not let her out of your sight",
"(Pacey turns around to look at Dawson, finding he's nowhere to be found.)",
"Pacey: Dawson",
"(Cut to Dawson and Eve making out in a janitor's closet. They pull away.)",
"Dawson: Eve",
"Eve: Morning, Dawson. Welcome to school",
"(Cue opening credits. Cut back to Dawson and Eve in the janitor's closet.)",
"Dawson: What are you doing here",
"Eve: At eleven I'm popping out of a cake for Mr. Sax in AP History. (pauses) Duh, I'm, like, a student",
"Dawson: You are not",
"Eve: What? You've never seen a senior girl up close before",
"Dawson: I've seen plenty of senior girls but none of them look like you. Plus, you must be at least-",
"Eve: Watch it",
"Dawson: ...Older than I am",
"Eve: I thought you'd be more excited about my sudden appearance",
"Dawson: I am excited. It's just they're usually followed by an equally sudden disappearance. I mean, Who are you, Eve? First you're this stunning passenger on my bus, striking up conversation, then you're wearing a wig, serving cocktails at the strip club -- now you're a senior at my high school",
"Eve: You've got it all wrong, Dawson. I'm none of those things. I'm just a girl...standing in a janitor's closet...asking you to kiss her",
"(They start kissing then the bell rings.)",
"Eve: Late for bio. See ya",
"(She leaves and Dawson tries to follow after her, tripping over a mop.)",
"Dawson: Wait! Can I get a last name this time",
"(He stumbles out of the closet right into Principal Green and his father.)",
"Mitch: Hey! It's 'Leery' but you can call me 'Dad.' The principal and I were just talking about you. We are in need of an honest student",
"Dawson: Okay",
"Principal: The pep rally is tomorrow and in our view's a critical event in setting the home for this football season",
"Mitch: And in light of the Minutemen having such bad luck the past few years and in light of me being the coach-",
"Principal: We thought we would revolutionize this. Set this pep rally apart from all the other ones",
"Mitch: So what do you think",
"Dawson: Sounds good",
"Principal: I'll need your help. I'll see you in my office at three",
"Dawson: Wait, but",
"Mitch: Very wise of you to help out, son, in light of the fact that you owe me",
"(They walk away leaving Dawson in the halls.)",
"Dawson: This is so not my day",
"(Cut to Grams, Jack, and Mr. McPhee on Grams' porch.)",
"Mr.McPhee: I can't thank you enough",
"Grams: After a year with Jennifer, having Jack was like boarding Saint Francis",
"Jack: When does Andie get in",
"Mr.McPhee: Tonight. Pacey wanted to surprise her and bring her home early",
"Grams: She's made a full recovery, then",
"Mr.McPhee: That's what the doctors say, but they like to remind you that with mental illness, you're never out of the woods",
"Grams: Well, you've given her an excellent chance by moving your business this way so that she can stay in Capeside",
"Jack: Yeah, about that, Dad. I was wondering if we could wait til the weekend to move all my stuff back into the house...",
"Mr.McPhee: Actually, that's what I've come to talk to you about",
"Grams: Why don't I leave you two alone",
"(She leaves.)",
"Mr.McPhee: I was...thinking...that perhaps....it would be better for you to stay here for awhile...as long as it's alright for Mrs. Ryan..",
"Jack: You don't want me home",
"Mr.McPhee: You have a situation that works for you. I don't think it's wise to disturb that",
"Jack: What you mean is that you have a situation that works for you..",
"Mr.McPhee: The changes that you are going to make in your life now, the changes you have every right to make, would be too difficult with me around",
"Jack: Why can't you just admit that you're afraid? You can't deal with having a gay son and me doing that around would be just that",
"Mr.McPhee: Must you assume that every decision I make is based upon my lack of character",
"Jack: No, just the ones that concern me. Well, since this is still my home I suggest that you leave",
"(Cut to Pacey at psychiactric facility Andie has been all summer. He's talking to the nurse at the front desk.)",
"Nurse: Andie McPhee is scheduled to be released tomorrow not today",
"Pacey: That's why it's a surprise",
"Nurse: We try to avoid surprises. The only way she leaves today is with her own written consent",
"Pacey: Which I will get if you let me walk in through the door and talk to her",
"Nurse: And that will be tomorrow at 9am when visiting hours resume and not a minute earlier",
"Pacey: You've gotta be kidding me",
"Nurse: Does this look like a face that kids",
"(Cut to Pacey walking towards Joey sitting on the truck.)",
"Pacey: This is ridiculous",
"Joey: What happened",
"Pacey: Well, the clinic doesn't allow visitors after hours so subsequently I can't talk to Andie subsequently I can't get her permission to take her home",
"(Joey nods. Then holds out her hand motioning for Pacey to grab it and help her down.)",
"Pacey: What",
"Joey: Follow me",
"(Cut to Joey talking to the Nurse.)",
"Joey: You don't understand. I have to see a doctor immediately",
"Nurse: This is a private care facility. Unless it is a medical emergency, we do not take walk-ins",
"Joey: This is a moral injustice -- I have psychiatric concerns",
"Nurse: Well, obviously",
"Joey: Fine, if that's the way it is, then you'll just have to do",
"Nurse: Excuse me",
"(Joey moves her stuff and sits up on her desk, leaning against a wall.)",
"Joey: Well, somebody's got to listen to me. I've had a tough life, lady and I have a lot to talk about. It all started when I fell in love with this boy down the creek, that was after my mother died of cancer but before my father went to jail for the second time. (With her other hand, she motions Pacey to crawl by the receptionist) The boy's name was Dawson. He was your typical, overanalytical, adorable teenager who happened to be my best friend..",
"(Cut to Dawson sitting in Principal Green's office.)",
"Dawson: That's propaganda",
"Principal: In a word, yes. But it's the only choice we have of getting people into those seats. Listen, all I need right now is for someone to recut this footage and put it into some kind of promotional film for tomorrow. Now, your father says that you're the man for the job",
"Dawson: Footage of what",
"Principal: Our Minutemen. Fieldish champions of the turf. Ambassadors of the sport. Paragons of athletic prowlice",
"Dawson: They haven't had a win in three years running",
"Principal: Look, I know what the reality is, but the footage wouldn't emphasize what is, but what could be",
"Dawson: The Leni Riefenstahl approach. You know, the Nazis did this too",
"Principal: (sighs) Dawson, throughout history, film has been a very effective medium. Capra used film to get recruits for World War II, Annie Hall..",
"(Dawson loses interest as he notices Eve outside. The principal continues until Dawson interrupts.)",
"Dawson: I'll do it, I'll do it -- can I go now",
"(He grabs his books and stuff and runs out the door to catch up to Eve.)",
"Eve: Slow down, Mr. Brown",
"Dawson: I'm warning you -- this is the last time I'm going to chase you, I spent a year chasing after a woman and it's a very bad habit and I don't plan on getting into it again",
"Eve: Oh, so you're one of those, are you",
"Dawson: One of whom",
"Eve: You know, one of those guys who spend the rest of their life comparing every relationship to their first one",
"Dawson: That isn't--- not entirely true",
"Eve: Oh, so you're completely over her",
"Dawson: Over who",
"Eve: Nice try -- the brunette it took you all of five minutes to bring up on the bus",
"Dawson: Okay, I motion for a change of subject",
"Eve: Motion denied. Are you or are you not over your ex-flame",
"Dawson: Yes. I'm over her",
"Eve: Nope. Don't buy it",
"Dawson: Then why did you even ask",
"Eve: To see if you'd be honest with me, you weren't. I like that",
"Dawson: You like dishonesty? What else turns you on? Greed and corruption",
"Eve: s*x. s*x turns me on, Dawson",
"Dawson: It tends to do that to people",
"Eve: And you would know...how",
"Dawson: I'll choose to ignore that slight",
"Eve: Maybe it wasn't a slight...maybe it was an invitation",
"Dawson: What are you suggesting",
"Eve: Only the obvious. A night of scorching hot, unbridled, mind-altering s*x",
"Dawson: Just like that? No first date, no months of getting to know each other",
"Eve: Those are small town rituals for small town girls. Face it, Dawson. We're hot for each other. It would be a lot of fun. Who knows? Maybe it'll even help you get over that certain brunette",
"Dawson: You're on",
"Eve: Good. Now I'll take care of the time and place...you just take care of being prepared",
"Dawson: How do I find you in the meantime",
"Eve: You don't find me, Dawson. I find you",
"(She walks off.)",
"Dawson: This is so my day",
"(Cut to Pacey walking upstairs in search of Andie's room. He finds it and opens the door to reveal Andie laying on a bed talking to a guy in khakis, I believe his name is Marc.)",
"Andie: Pacey, oh my God, what are you doing here",
"(Pacey runs and picks her up.)",
"Pacey: I came to surprise ya",
"Andie: Yeah, okay! Yeah. (She notices Marc still there.) Oh, um, Pacey this is Marc, Marc this is a big surprise...",
"(They shake hands and greet each other.)",
"Andie: I thought my dad said he was going to pick me up tomorrow",
"Pacey: Yeah, I know but we thought, well, I thought-",
"(Andie shrugs it off and nervously laughs.)",
"Marc: Well, it's dinner time. I'll come back..",
"Andie: Bye Marc",
"Marc: We'll talk soon, though",
"Andie: Yeah, we will",
"(Marc leaves and Joey's in the doorway.)",
"Joey: Andie",
"Andie: Oh! Joey! You came, too",
"Joey: Yeah, but if we don't leave soon they're going to make me stay",
"(Andie's confused.)",
"Pacey: Yeah, guess we should get you packed up, huh",
"Andie: Right..",
"(She moves to start getting her things and Pacey gives Joey a look to signal that he knows something is up. Cut to cheerleading practice.)",
"Cheerleaders: 1, 2, 3, 4, we don't care if we don't score, 5, 6, 7, 8, a few points would be really great, that's alright, that's okay, you're going to work for us someday. Gooooo Capeside",
"(Jack and Jen have been watching.)",
"Jen: What do you think",
"Jack: Jen, this is for a pep rally, don't you think they should be slightly more..",
"Jen: Peppy",
"Jack: Well, optimistic",
"Jen: I've tried. Believe me, I've tried. Do you think I want to be held responsible for killing off the last vestiges of Capeside's school spirit? I mean, ever since they elected me leader of their little junta, all they've wanted to do are these nasty, sardonic, self-aware cheers. What's worse is they've even started to dress like me. It's like they're genetically predisposed to having any unique identity",
"Jack: That's a blonde gene",
"Jen: Not funny",
"(Suddenly, a football flies over by them.)",
"Jen: Watch it",
"(Jack catches it.)",
"Mitch : eld)",
"(Cut to Henry, a freshman, begging to get in.)",
"Henry: C'mon, coach! Let me in. His arm blows out there",
"Mitch: Power down, Henry",
"Henry: They're killing us out there",
"Mitch: We're running play-action patterns against ourselves! No one is killing us",
"(Cut back to Jen and Jack.)",
"Jen: I thought you weren't sure yet about whether or not you wanted to go home..",
"Jack: I know, but the point is, he should have asked me",
"(Another football comes flying their way.)",
"Jen: Look out",
"(Jack catches it again and throws it back.)",
"Jack: Besides, what kind of father doesn't want his son to live with him anyway",
"Jen: Trust me, been there",
"Jack: At least you have Grams",
"Jen: So do you, and me",
"(Cut back to Mitch and Henry arguing.)",
"Henry: C'mon, Coach",
"Mitch: For the last time, Henry, you're a second string freshman who's lucky he's not on JV",
"Henry: We don't have a JV-",
"Mitch: IN the instance, Full gets injured, that's when you start",
"Henry: What about in the instance that he sucks",
"Mitch: FOUR LAPS! NOW",
"(Henry starts running laps. Cut back to Jack and Jen. Yet another football spirals towards them.)",
"Jen: Ahh! Look out",
"(Jack catches it once again and tosses it back. Mitch stares at him. Cut to Dawson in the line at a supermarket.)",
"Dawson: Powerbars, advil, Polaroid film, (missed word), ah, what else am I forgetting? Oh, condoms",
"Clerk: What was that",
"Dawson: The condoms. A pack of....condoms",
"Clerk: You gotta speak up, son",
"Dawson: Condoms",
"(Girls behind him giggle.)",
"Clerk: We don't keep them behind the counter anymore. CONDOMS, AISLE 6",
"(Cut to Dawson staring at a wall of different kinds of condoms. A man walks up beside him.)",
"Dawson: This is worse than breakfast cereals",
"Man: Big night or are you just stocking up",
"Dawson: Um, a little of both",
"Man: Well, your prophylactic purchases have never been more difficult. It used to be that they just had two kinds. Regular, and for those of us who needed it, the magnum",
"Dawson: (very uncomfortable) Huh",
"Man: These days (places his arm around Dawson) you got your ribbed, your non-ribbed, your lubricated, your non-lubricated, your thin, your extra thin, sheepskin, extra sensitive, and now you've got your glow in the darks",
"(Another man joins them.)",
"Man #2: Glow in the darks don't work",
"Man: No kidding",
"Man #2: Nah, you got to hold them up to the light for 20 minutes. Who's got time for that",
"(A woman joins them.)",
"Woman: And if you really want to blow her mind, try the Brown Betty",
"(Each of the men grab a pack of those as Dawson stares in disbelief at the situation.)",
"Dawson: This is not happening",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"(Cut to Pacey, Joey, and Andie carrying her boxes out to the car.)",
"Pacey: Marc seems like a pretty nice guy. What's he in here for anyway",
"Andie: That's private, Pacey",
"Pacey: Come on, it's just us",
"Andie: Let's not talk about Marc, please",
"Pacey: Well, it just seems a little odd. I mean, you guys seem to be so close yet you never mentioned him in any of your letters or your emails..",
"Joey: Pacey, drop the male jealousy thing",
"Pacey: It's a long walk home, Potter",
"Andie: Is that what this is about? You're jealous",
"Pacey: How can I not be Andie? I've spent months counting the moments until I'd get to see you again, and the thought of some other guy getting to see you every day, and hear your stories, and eat dinner with you just kills me",
"(They kiss.)",
"Joey: Finally, the reunion kiss we've all been waiting for so....let's go",
"(Cut to Mitch with the football team.)",
"Mitch: Listen up! We're going to play a touch game. Now touch does not mean half ass. I want you to run hard, keep your patterns sharp. Ready? BREAK",
"Henry: Coach",
"Mitch: Yes, Henry",
"Henry: I'm second string",
"Mitch: Yes, Henry",
"Henry: So that means I get to play",
"Mitch: Yes, Henry",
"Henry: So seeing as this is my one shot at impressing you I'd like to tip the odds in my favor. Call in a ringer",
"Mitch: Well, the team's are divided, Henry. There's nobody left",
"Henry: Sure, there is",
"(Cut to Henry in the huddle. Jack is in the huddle, too.)",
"Henry: Tailbacks slant right, z-post on 1, Jack, you run ten yards out. Cut to the right, flat, look over your shoulder, the ball will be there. Ready? BREAK",
"Jack: Okay",
"(Cut to shots of Henry passing the football perfectly to Jack, etc. The football team is looking great. Mitch is impressed. Jack seems to be having a good time. Cut to Pacey and Andie and Joey getting into the car.)",
"Pacey: We shall be arriving at Capeside around 10 so place your station requests now",
"Joey: Alternative",
"Pacey: Classic rock, it is",
"(He looks over at Andie who's staring glumly out the window.)",
"Pacey: You okay, Andie",
"Andie: Yeah, I'm just happy to be with you and to be going home",
"(She turns back towards the window as Pacey looks at her, knowing something is definitely up. Cut to Andie opening her locker at school the next day. Jack walks up.)",
"Jack: How's the first day of classes going there, gorgeous",
"Andie: Very well, I must say",
"Jack: I missed you so much",
"(Andie hugs him.)",
"Andie: I missed you, too",
"(Pacey comes up, pulling Jack away.)",
"Pacey: Hey hey hey, get your hands off my girlfriend",
"Jack: Get your hands off my sister",
"Pacey: (to Andie) About tonight",
"Andie: What about it",
"Pacey: Well, since it's your first Friday back in town I was thinking you and I could go catch a movie and stroll right on down to our little spot.",
"Andie: Oh, well, I was thinking we could all grab dinner tonight, you know, as a group",
"Jack: Sorry, I promised Jen I'd go to that...pep rally thing with her tonight",
"Andie: That could be fun",
"Pacey: Well, in case you forgot, we're a very non-spirited group and pep rallies are all about spirit. What about you and me",
"Andie: Well, there's plenty of time for us to be alone, I just want to be around normal people right now, it's been a long time..",
"Pacey: Well, what am I",
"Jack: Well, she actually said 'normal people.",
"Pacey: You know, McPhee, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were trying to avoid being alone with me",
"Andie: No, I mean, we can be alone after, or tomorrow! Okay? (she kisses him on the cheek) Bye",
"(Cut to Jack talking to Mitch out on the football field.)",
"Jack: I got a message you wanted to see me",
"Mitch: You did a great job yesterday",
"Jack: Thanks, Mr. Leery",
"Mitch: I usually have my players call me Coach",
"Jack: Oh, no. No way, no",
"Mitch: I want you to join the team, Jack. You and Henry were amazing together",
"Jack: I don't play football",
"Mitch: Well, you fooled me",
"Jack: Look, do I have to spell it out for you",
"Mitch: Yes",
"Jack: A gay kid on the football team. Now if that isn't a written invitation for ridicule, what is",
"Mitch: C'mon, Jack. One thing has nothing to do with the other",
"Jack: In a perfect world, maybe. But that's not Capeside",
"Mitch: Look, I got this team on a (missed word), Jack. Nobody wanted to coach a team that had been so bad for so long. I thought, what the hell? It couldn't be any tougher than the last year of my life and who knows? I might even like it. But the chance of actually winning? That's something I could really use right now, and Jack? I think you could, too",
"(Cut to Dawson loading stuff into his father's car. Jen walks over.)",
"Jen: Not bad for a sherpa(????) invitation, but whatcha doing",
"Dawson: Setting up for tonight, or trying to",
"(He drops a bag and Jen picks it up and starts looking in it.)",
"Jen: Dawson? Praytell condoms? (Dawson grabs them away.) Sorry it's just in the list of things I'd expect to find in your bag, condoms fall somewhere in between nuclear plans and crack cocaine. Curiosity begs, who is the lucky girl",
"Dawson: Privacy begs I ignore you",
"Jen: Ever since Philly, somebody's been whistling a very different tune",
"Dawson: It's the Dawson Leery for the new millenium. The guy who's not afraid to use the words \"good\" and \"time\" in close proximity",
"Jen: Well, Dawson 2000, are you ready for this good time? And I don't mean in a Trojan kind of way",
"Dawson: What do you mean",
"Jen: s*x isn't a one way street. There are going to be some expectations where you're concerned",
"Dawson: Okay...any hot tips",
"Jen: I thought that you'd never ask. It's all about one word, Dawson. Pace. Now, most virgins either go too slow or too fast. Which one do you think you are",
"Dawson: How would I know",
"Jen: Let's say that you have an ice cream sundae right in front of you and you have no spoon. Now, it's a hundred degrees out and you're starving. Now, do you lick the ice cream or do you bite right in",
"Dawson: Bite right in",
"Jen: Too fast. See, first you have to watch the sundae, admire the sundae, then, just before it's about to drip, you let your lips lick around the exterior, savoring every inch. You want that sundae to last a long time... ...but not too long, because then the sundae ends up all over the table instead of in your mouth. But Dawson, if you remember one thing, let it be this...If you don't get the whipped cream all over your face, you're not doing it right. You see what I'm saying",
"(Cut to the pep rally. The band is playing, there's signs up reading 'Hope You Score This Year'. Cut to the cheerleaders doing their cheer at the rally. Jen is wearing her cheerleader's uniform with fishnet stockings and high boots.)",
"Jen: I don't know but I've been told..",
"Cheerleaders: I don't know but I've been told..",
"Jen: Capeside Minutemen break the mold..",
"Cheerleaders: Capeside Minutemen break the mold..",
"Jen: We've got style, we've got class",
"Cheerleaders: We've got style, we've got class",
"Jen: So what if those other guys kick our ass",
"Cheerleaders: So what if those other guys kick our ass",
"Jen: Go Capeside. Go Capeside",
"Principal: Thank you...Minutegirls for your....candid enthusiasm. Now, it is my pleasure to introduce to you, the most integral part of the Minutemen team. He's the new coach, a substitute here at Capeside, Mitch Leery",
"Mitch: Thank you, Principal Green and thank you everyone for showing up tonight. We have a great team this season so I'll waste no time introducing them",
"(He starts introducing them and Pacey, Andie, and Joey show up and take a seat.)",
"Pacey: Personally, I think I've seen enough. What do you say we get out of here",
"Joey: I agree",
"Andie: Nope, we're here. We're staying put",
"(They notice Jack in a football jersey.)",
"Joey: Do you see what I see",
"Mitch: Wide receiver, Jack McPhee",
"(The crowd cheers.)",
"Pacey: When did this happen",
"Joey: News to me",
"Andie: Jen's a cheerleader? Jack's on the football team? I got sane and everyone else went crazy",
"(Cut back up to the stage on Mitch.)",
"Mitch: And now for a first in Capeside history, starting quarterback, freshman Henry Parker",
"(Henry runs up on stage as the crowd cheers and he trips and drops the football and knocks into Jen. He backs up looking at her. It's obvious he likes her.)",
"Henry: I'm sorry",
"Jen: It's okay. It's cool...it's cool...it's cool",
"(Henry bends down to grab the football and grabs her pom-pons by mistake.)",
"Jen: You got my pom-pons, though",
"(He gives them back and gets with the rest of the team.)",
"Mitch: Capeside, meet this year's Minutemen",
"(The band starts playing, explosions go off, confetti is everywhere. Cut to where Pacey, Andie, and Joey are sitting. Pacey puts his arm around Andie.)",
"Andie: Frisky much",
"Pacey: What can I say? Listening to (missed word) just really gets the best of me. What do you say we scram for a little bit",
"Andie: In a little while",
"Pacey: Come on, McPhee",
"Andie: I said in a little bit",
"(Pacey stands up, pulling her.)",
"Andie: What are you doing",
"Pacey: I want to talk to you and I'd really rather not do it in front of the whole school",
"(Andie follows Pacey to the hall as Joey stares after, knowing something is going to happen.)",
"Mitch: And now a little something different to end tonight's program, a closer look at the Capeside Minutemen",
"(The screen comes down as Dawson's video starts playing. Cut to Dawson behind the screen, listening and watching when Eve comes up behind him.)",
"Eve: \"'The time has come,' the walrus said.",
"Dawson: You don't mean now",
"Eve: I pick the time and place, remember",
"Dawson: Here? Right now? My video's playing",
"Eve: Which is like the lamest of the lamest excuses",
"Dawson: Good point",
"Eve: Dawson, let's go",
"Dawson: They say that girls like you don't exist",
"Eve: They lie",
"(She pulls him offscreen and we see his arm reach out and grab the bag of condoms. Cut to Andie and Pacey out in the hallway.)",
"Pacey: Okay, Andie, what the hell is going on? And don't tell me that it's nothing because you've been acting strange from the second I picked you up from that clinic, and now I have to beg you to spend some free time with me. So what is happening",
"Andie: We shouldn't talk about this here, Pacey",
"Pacey: So, I'm right",
"Andie: Look, this is not the time, okay",
"Pacey: Is it me? Are you trying to end things with me? Is that what this is about",
"Andie: No! That's the last thing I want",
"Pacey: Fine. Then, what is so awful that you've waited so long to tell me about, Andie",
"Andie: A lot happened to me this summer, Pacey, a lot",
"Pacey: What are you trying to say",
"Andie: Okay, if we are going to talk about this now then you have to promise me that you will not say one word until I'm done",
"Pacey: Okay, go on",
"Andie: No, promise me, Pacey",
"Pacey: Okay, I promise. Just tell me what's wrong with you",
"Andie: (starts crying) When I went to Mayfield to get better, I was someone else. I wasn't the same person that came to Capeside. I wasn't the girl you fell in love with. My first week, I met Marc. He had been through everything I had went through and more. In and out of facilities, three times, on and off medication since he was nine. I didn't write to you about him, because I didn't want you to get jealous -- we were just friends. We'd spend our free time together, just talking endlessly, mostly about our fears. I was so afraid, Pacey, afraid of everything. I was scared that they were never gonna let me out of there, or that whatever was broken inside of me wouldn't be fixable. Marc -- he understood these things like nobody else could because they were his fears too. He even had a girlfriend that he was anxious to get back to",
"Pacey: You slept with him",
"Andie: We knew immediately afterwards that it was wrong, for both of us",
"Pacey: You slept with him, Andie",
"Andie: We both agreed to just be friends and not tell our significant others but, Pacey, when I saw you-- It was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life. And all I keep thinking right now is what if you can't forgive me. Pacey, you have to forgive me. You have to forgive me",
"(Pacey makes a disgusted noise and turns and walks out of the building leaving Andie alone, crying. Cut to Dawson and Eve making out behind the screen.)",
"Dawson: There's hundreds of people on the other side of this screen",
"Eve: I know, isn't it great",
"Dawson: Isn't there a janitor's closet somewhere that we can sneak into",
"Eve: Possibly",
"(They lean against a button panel and the screen raises slightly and the crowd is shown the feet of Eve and Dawson but the screen lowers back down to normal.)",
"Dawson: What was that",
"Eve: What",
"Dawson: That click",
"Eve: Nothing",
"(They continue and they set it off again this time raising the screen completely revealing Eve in only pants and a bra and Dawson with his shirt unbuttoned.)",
"Dawson: That was definitely not nothing",
"Eve: Dawson, relax",
"(She relizes the screen is going up.)",
"Eve: Whatever you do, don't turn around",
"Dawson: Why",
"(They turn and look at the crowd, which breaks out into wild applause. The band breaks into the theme from ROCKY and Dawson and Eve stand up and bow before Dawson notices Joey's pained expression. Cut to Eve and Dawson after the pep rally.)",
"Eve: You're ready?",
"Dawson: I think I want to catch a ride home with my father.",
"Eve: You don't wanna... hang out?",
"Dawson: Part of me really, really wants to.",
"Eve: Just part of you",
"Dawson: Eve, I don't know anything about you! I don't know where you come from, I don't know why you're here, I don't even know your last name. All you are to me is s*x, and if I slept with you that would be the reason.",
"Eve: We don't have a reason for sleeping with someone, Dawson. Either it's their body or their personality, their money or their sense of humour. What's the difference?",
"Dawson: I guess the difference is the first time I sleep with somebody I don't want it to be for just any reason. I want it to be for every reason.",
"Eve: (long pause) Your eyes.",
"Dawson: What about them",
"Eve: That was my reason. When I first met you, I looked into your eyes and I saw such an old soul",
"Dawson: Thank you, Eve.",
"Eve: Whitman. Thank you, Eve Whitman.",
"Dawson: I don't suppose there's any chance you'd give me your phone number.",
"Eve: That one you'll have to earn.",
"(Cut to Pacey driving Joey to her house.)",
"Joey: Well, I don't think we'll be attending any more pep rallies any time soon.",
"Pacey: Probably not.",
"Joey: Thanks for the ride.",
"Pacey: No problem.",
"Joey: Pacey, you probably don't want to hear this right now, and I'm sure you don't want to hear it from me, but you have to talk to her.",
"Pacey: No, not right now. I couldn't even look at her right now.",
"Joey: You have to, Pacey. You have to hear her out.",
"Pacey: Why? What's the difference, Joey, huh? No matter what she says the ending's still the same. She slept with somebody else.",
"Joey: You think that just because the two of you were together what she did hurts more? It doesn't. There's no difference, Pacey, I mean... Look, she's sixteen years old and so are you. We talk like we know what's going on, but we don't. We don't have any idea. Look, we're really young and we're gonna screw up a lot! You know, we're going to keep changing our minds and ... and sometimes even our hearts. And through all of that, the only real thing we can offer each other is forgiveness. And I couldn't do that. Or at least I did it too late. Don't let yourself get so angry that you stop loving because one day you wake up from that anger and the person you love will be gone.",
"(Cut to Jen and Jack in the halls after the pep rally.)",
"Jen: I tell you, these fishnets itch.",
"Jack: I don't believe you wear them. (Jack spots Mr. McPhee) Dad!",
"Mr McPhee: Hi Jack. Jen.",
"Jen: Jack, I'll see you home.",
"Jack: Yeah.",
"Mr McPhee: Jen's grandmother called me, said I should make my way down here tonight. I wasn't sure why 'til saw you up there. Congratulations!",
"Jack: Thanks",
"Mr McPhee: Seeing you on that stage made me realise I was wrong.",
"Jack: How do you mean?",
"Mr McPhee: Jack, I honestly thought I was doing what was best for you. I thought living under my care would be too hard. That there were too many differences between us. And when I saw you in that jersey, at the first time in a while, I saw myself in you.",
"Jack: Dad, it shouldn't take a football jersey to make you see that.",
"Mr McPhee: You're right. I would like very much for you to...",
"Jack: Sorry, but no.",
"Mr McPhee: No, I figured that would be a response. But I needed to ask.",
"Jack: Thanks.",
"Mr McPhee: 'Night.",
"Jack: Night, Dad. Dad?",
"Mr McPhee: Yeah?",
"Jack: Ask me again some time?",
"(Cut to Pacey walking towards Andie at their spot.)",
"Andie: I was hoping you'd find me here.",
"Pacey: To be honest, I told myself a thousand times not to come.",
"Andie: So why did you?",
"Pacey: 'Cause I owe you that much",
"Andie: I've already told you how sorry I am. What else can I say?",
"Pacey: There's nothing else to say.",
"Andie: So you don't think that you can forgive me?",
"Pacey: Whether or not I can forgive you, Andie, is not going to be what keeps us apart. What you did... Our relationship was like this beautiful thing, and I don't think you ever realized how powerful it was. You changed my life, Andie, you were that person for me. You inspired me to be a man that I'd only ever dreamt about being. When you first started to get sick, it dawned on me that I might not be that person for you. I can never go back to loving you the way I did knowing that my love wasn't strong enough the first time around. I could always forgive you, Andie, but I will never forget.",
"Andie: But I still love you, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Goodbye, Andie.",
"(Cut to Mitch and Dawson arriving home. Mitch signals Dawson towards Joey on the docks. He goes up to her.)",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Joey: Hey.",
"Dawson: What are you doing here?",
"Joey: I'm not sure. Your house is like magnetic north. Certain nights, it just.. it draws me in. While you were gone this summer, there were days I would just get in my boat and come riding past your dock. For old times sake, I guess.",
"Dawson: We can't go back, Joey.",
"Joey: I know. It's like that phrase, isn't it? Can't go home again. I realized that for a while. Earlier tonight...",
"Dawson: I'm sorry you had to see that.",
"Joey: Don't be. I think I was meant to. In some weird way it helped me. I mean, seeing you on that stage something inside of me clicked, and for the first time I felt how wrong it would be. I mean we... we really do need to... to move on and to meet new people and to have new relationships.",
"Dawson: It's weird as it happens, isn't it? You still love the person, you just stop needing them like you used to",
"Joey: Yeah. It's weird and it's kinda sad. So we're friends, and then we are a couple, then friends again, then a couple. So, what are we now?",
"Dawson: We're Dawson and Joey.",
"(He takes off his necklace and puts it on her neck.)",
"Joey: You think every Joey has a Dawson and every Dawson has a Joey?",
"Dawson: I hope so -- for their sake.",
"(The camera zooms out. Cue ending credits.)",
"(THE END.)"

"Dawson is stunned when Eve presents him with an advance copy of the PSAT exam he and his friends will be taking shortly. The entire gang are tempted to cheat for various reasons, and when the test goes missing, it becomes obvious that one friend in particular was unable to resist the temptation. In the quest to discover who stole the paper, Dawson gets into a fight with Pacey, who is still reeling from his break-up with Andie. As the gang takes the exam, the thief is revealed to be Andie, who is desperate to ace the test to prove that she is recovered from her medical problems. None of the group yet know who the guilty party is. Elsewhere, Jack is adamant he will be giving up football until a persistent Jen manipulates him into thinking otherwise."

"Eve: And then can we have s*x?",
"Dawson: I'm not ruling it out, I'm just-- you know... First things first. Movie night we're supposed to watch movies.",
"Eve: I prefer TV.",
"Dawson: You've got to be kidding.",
"Eve: Actually, no.",
"Dawson: But...Movies are an art form. T, this is just the pab um they stick between beer commercials.",
"Eve: Don't be such a snob, Dawson. I mean, a TV show is just like a movie... Except shorter... With built-in bathroom breaks, and you get a new sequel every week.",
"Dawson: Sequels I hate on principle.",
"Eve: Then suit yourself. I'm hooked.",
"Dawson: Oh... All right, you know what? Take Felicity, for example. Aw, come on, if you've seen one hour of whiny, over analytical teen angst, you've seen them all. Don't get me wrong. She's pretty, but what kind of a heroine is she? Well, she's-- she's indecisive. She's basically...Paralyzed by some romantic notion of the way things are supposed to be. If you ask me, she kind of chatty.",
"Eve: She's you.",
"Dawson: Excuse me?",
"Eve: She's you, Dawson. Except she's in college and a girl and...",
"Dawson: A fictional character on a television show.",
"Eve: Exactly. Think about it. You're straight out of central casting. Perfect hair, perfect skin-- our hero.",
"Dawson: Well, obviously you weren't watching last season. It was far from perfect. You know, which is, in general, my complaint about television. It's not reality, it's perfection. I mean, nobody ever blows it or gets tested in any real way or ever makes the wrong choice or bad choice or...",

"Principal Green: That's a good point, Dawson. Standardized testing isn't perfect. In fact",

"Pacey: Not that it's any my business anymore, Andie, but have you ever heard of over preparing for a test?",

"Pacey: As opposed to making yourself crazy over something with the word \"practice\" in front of it.",
"Andie: If you want to throw away everything we've-- I mean, you've worked for... That's fine by me.",

"Dawson: Of course not.",
"Joey: Good. 'Cause I could use some.",
"Dawson: What do you need?",
"Joey: I don't know. A night of mindless entertainment. Um, Jurassic Park or maybe one of those meteorite-asteroid- atomic-bomb movies where Bruce Willis or George Clooney or someone with a receding hairline somehow manages to save the entire planet without breaking a sweat. I just need something to take my mind off the test.",

"Mitch: Yeah, but not for the reasons you think.",

"Rob: I thought you'd never ask.",
"Joey: Friday night off so I can study for the Psats. They're Saturday.",
"Rob: Yeah, sure. Why not? No sweat. I remember what it was like. Of course, I didn't take the PSATs.",
"Joey: What, daddy built the university?",
"Rob: No, no. Just endowed it. Actually, I hired a ringer. Seriously. Paid some brainiac a couple thousand dollars to take it for me. Won me a scholarship, too.",
"Joey: Well, since I don't have that kind of cash... Thank you. I owe you one.",
"Rob: Well, uh, here's a thought. You let me take you out for a post-PSAT celebration. Saturday night. You and me.",
"Joey: Uh, thanks, but, um... Husband doesn't really like me seeing other people.",
"Rob: Oh, sure. Thought you were gonna say you had to wash your hair.",
"Joey: No, that's Wednesdays. Actually, Rob, the truth is... I'm a lesbian.",
"Rob: Oh... Anyone I know? So, is it a date? Saturday night. What do ya say?",
"Joey: Would it be all right if I just said no?",
"Rob: Yeah. Sure thing, Potter. No problem.",
"[Scene: Outside the window to Dawson's Room. Eve pops her head in the window.]",

"Eve: I was searching for the perfect apple. Go ahead take a bite. See if it tastes as good as it looks.",
"Dawson: And if I do?",
"Eve: You will forever know the difference between good and evil. Get out here, Dawson. It's a beautiful night.",
"[He climbs out the window to sit on the roof next to her.]",
"Dawson: [Sighs] Well, I haven't been out here since... Since Joey and I were",
"Eve: Joey? You mean the ubiquitous brunette? The one who hasn't yet learned the power and sway she holds over the hearts of men?",
"Dawson: She lives down the creek. She would sleep over all the time. Before we developed secondary sexual characteristics.",
"Eve: I had a boy-next-door.",
"Dawson: You did?",
"Eve: Doesn't everybody?",
"Dawson: What was his name?",
"Eve: Monroe. We literally lived in adjoining houses on the base",
"Dawson: You were a military brat?",
"Eve: U.S. Army, born and bred. Matter of fact, we could see into each other's bedrooms.",
"Dawson: Really? That must have been... Convenient.",
"Eve: No kidding. Only problem is... He was my dad's commanding officer. I brought you something else.",
"[She hands him an envelope.]",
"Dawson: What is this?",
"Eve: Call it a study aid.",
"Dawson: That is not...",
"Eve: Oh, It is. An advance copy of saturday's PSAT.",
"Dawson: Why are you showing this to me?",
"Eve: Well... I was planning on giving it to you.",
"Dawson: There's no way I could do that.",
"Eve: Oh, don't be so foolish, Dawson. I mean, if it goes against your moral code, fine, but... Surely there must be somebody you know who could use it. The apple was a metaphor. This is the real thing.",
"[Scene: Inside the School Library. Dawson has gotten everyone together around a table in the back.]",
"Pacey: An envelope? This is why you covertly hushed us into a corner?",
"Joey: Pacey, read the fine print. It says E.T.S., As in educational testing service.",
"Jen: Dawson, this is not what I think it is.",
"Dawson: Think again.",
"Andie: Oh, god.",
"Jack: How'd you get this?",
"Dawson: Does it matter?",
"Andie: Of course it matters. When we're all incriminated and sent to federal prison, I'd like to know just who I'm taking the rap for.",
"Dawson: Someone gave it to me.",
"Joey: A certain someone with blond locks and a name that rhymes with Steve?",
"Pacey: Oh, she's good. I like that girl. She's good.",
"Joey: Once again, Dawson Leery proves the groin is mightier than the brain.",
"Andie: Well, I mean, have you looked inside? It could be a joke. Anybody can just whip up a label.",
"Pacey: Well, there's only one way to find out.",
"Andie: Oh, go ahead, Pacey. Way to complete your return to the halls of academic loserdom.",
"Pacey: Maybe you'd like to open it up, Andie. I mean, after all, cheating seems to be an activity that you're real comfortable with these days.",
"Jack: Look, nobody's opening anything. Dawson, just bring it back to where you got it, and none of us ever saw it.",
"Jen: Gee, not to sound like the only typical high-school student here, apparently, as the only typical high-school student, what's the arm in peeking?",
"Pacey: Peeking? I can have us a detailed crib sheet in half an hour.",
"Dawson: Guys, look, admittedly, my first reaction was to dump it. But...You heard Principal Green. I mean, these things are a game. And as wrong as cheating sounds, I thought I would bring it up to you guys for discussion.",
"Joey: Ok, morals to Dawson. Come in, Dawson. This is wrong. Besides, it's the PSAT. No one's even required to take it, let alone do well.",
"Dawson: Unless you want to qualify for a national merit scholarship.",
"[slides the envelope over to Joey.]",
"Jen: Or if you've been too busy gettin' the crap beaten out of you to study.",
"[Slides the envelope over to Jack.]",
"Jack: Or [Clears throat] If you really want to go to Harvard.",
"[Slides the envelope over to Andie.]",
"Andie: Or if a failed relationship has put you through the emotional ringer, and you just don't care these days.",
"[Slides the envelope over to Pacey.]",
"Pacey: Or if you've just been too darn busy gettin' busy.",
"[Slides the envelope back to Andie.]",
"Dawson: The point is, we could all use it for something.",
"[Principal Green enters the room. Dawson turns the envelope over.]",
"Principal Green: All right, people, let's take our seats. One sample math section coming your way.",
"[Fire alarm rings]",
"Principal Green: On second thought, all right, you all know the drill. Leave everything exactly where it is and file out in an orderly fashion.",
"Principal Green: Mr. Leery... Now, please.",
"Dawson: Ok.",
"[They go out for the drill and return after a period of time. Dawson is looking all around an empty table.]",
"Joey: Dawson...",
"Dawson: It's gone.",
"Jack: What's gone?",
"Dawson: It.",
"Joey: Very funny.",
"Dawson: I already checked.",
"Jack: You just left it here?",
"Dawson: I had no choice. Green was hovering.",
"Jen: Ok, I took it. [ Eveyone looks at her.]Ah, ha ha! Joking. Good god.",
"Dawson: That's not funny. Pacey, please tell me that you circled around and saved all our lives.",
"Pacey: Excuse me?",
"Dawson: It's missing.",
"Pacey: What?",
"Dawson: It.",
"Pacey: Uh-uh.",
"Dawson: Uh-uh, is it missing, or uh-uh, you don't have it?",
"Pacey: Uh, both...Or neither. I really don't even know what you guys are talking about.",
"Andie: Pacey, will you quit screwing around?",
"Pacey: Oh, I'm not screwing around, Andie. I'm just as upset as you are. Dismayed... even broken hearted.",
"Principal Green: The McLaughlin group, right here at Capeside. Oh, I love the early-morning debate. What's today's topic? Hey, wait a minute. Don't tell me. Don't tell me. Why is the PSAT not an oral exam? Well, unfortunately, boys and girls, you're on your own on this one. So, let's do me a favor and get back to it independently, ok? Let's go. Come on.",
"[Scene: at the Marina. Joey is filling up a gas tank on a boat, but not paying attention, when it overflows.]",
"Rob: Joey, what the hell?! What do you think you're doin'?",
"Joey: It was a mistake. Calm down.",
"Rob: [to boat owner] Look, I'm-- I'm sorry about that. She's new here. Your gas is on the house.",
"Joey: You didn't have to do that. I filled the tank. So I spilled a little. It's not exactly the Exxon Valdez.",
"Rob: That 38 bucks is comin' out of your paycheck, Potter. And consider your precious night off canceled.",
"Joey: What?",
"Rob: You heard me. You're workin' tomorrow night.",
"Joey: Ha Oh, so, that's how it's going to be?",
"Rob: That's how what's gonna be?",
"Joey: Oh, this is not about me messing up on the job. This is about your bruised little ego. Not used to female rejection, are you, Rob?",
"Rob: I have no idea what you're talkin' about, Potter.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Inside Gram's house. Jen is wrapping a bandage around Jack's ribs.]",
"Jack: Ow! Damn, Jen.",
"Jen: Jesus, just try not to make any sharp movements, all right?",
"Jack: It tends to happen when there's a surging pain striking my chest cavity.",
"Jen: I thought that you guys wore pads out there.",
"Jack: Yeah, well, I must be wearing the placebo pads.",
"Jen: Well, at least you can maintain your sense of humor through all this.",
"Jack: Until it gets beaten out of me, too.",
"Jen: Here.",
"Jack: Sorry. Tomorrow I'm turnin' in my helmet.",
"Jen: Jack, you can't.",
"Jack: Yeah? Watch me.",
"Jen: All right, my friend, you want to be a quitter? Go right ahead. Be a quitter.",
"Jack: Ok, Ward, uh, I'm not Beaver Cleaver, and we're not in black and white here. And no half-ass layman's use of reverse psychology is gonna stop me from preventing my corpse from being carried off that field.",
"Jen: All right, all right, mock the sentiment, but you can't deny the truth. When you quit something, you're telling yourself that you're not good enough.",
"Jack: Ok. So what you're saying is that, uh, what I learn out there on the gridiron about sacrifice and pain will be of infinite value later on in life",
"Jen: Mm-hmm.",
"Jack: And that if I quit right now, I'll most surely quit in the more important contest of the future?",
"Jen: Exactly.",
"Jack: Yeah, well, I'm quitting.",
"Jen: Ok, smart ass, how about this for a reason? You caught the ball. Now, call me corny, or superstitious, but fate tossed you that ball, Jack. Who knows why, but it did. Maybe you're meant to be a well-known gay athlete who inspires others to come to terms with who they are. Maybe you're meant to help this school actually win a few games and develop a sense of morale... Or maybe this is just the first step towards meeting someone else in a similar situation. You don't know the reason, but until you do, hang on to that ball.",
"Jack: Oh, that was cheesier than your first response.",
"Jen: Mmm.",
"Jack: Ow! Come on.",
"Jen: Never talk back to somebody who co ld cut off your air supply.",

"Dawson: It's gotta be here somewhere.",
"Eve: How do you figure?",
"Dawson: Eve...Could you at least pretend to help me save my ass?",
"Eve: Well...It is a cute ass, but...",
"Dawson: But what?",
"Eve: But we don't have a chance in hell of finding what you're looking for.",
"Dawson: How do you know thaw, Eve? The test was on the table one minute. The next minute, it's gone. Obviously, it has to have gone some--",
"Eve: Quick, Dawson, someone's coming. Kill the light.",
"Dawson: [Whispering] Question, What would look better on my high-school transcripts... a--cheating, b--possession of stolen materials, c--breaking and entering, or d--all of the above?",
"Eve: You're right, Dawson.",
"Dawson: About what?",
"Eve: Let's get out of here. Besides, if you really want that exam back, it shouldn't be too difficult.",
"Dawson: What do you men?",
"Eve: It didn't disappear, Dawson. Somebody took it.",
"Dawson: How do you know that?",
"Eve: Call it female intuition.",
"Dawson: God, if you're right, it could've been anybody. There were dozens of kids in that room when the alarm went off.",
"Eve: Process of elimination. Of those kids, how many knew what was in the en elope?",
"Dawson: 5. 6, including me.",
"Eve: Who would steal something they didn't know the value of? See my point? Face it, Dawson. In the privacy of their own room, one of your friends is right now slipping a finger between the pages and breaking the seal.",

Look, it makes no difference whether one of you takes the fall for this, or you all go down together in some sort of grand gesture of teenage loyalty. But somebody better fess up and better fess up soon! Otherwise, you are all expelled!",

"[ringing stops]",
"Joey: So, what kind of black-market booty do you have for us today, Dawson? Just happened to find out what Microsoft will be trading at tomorrow?",

"Jack: How?",
"Dawson: Whoever stole the test give it back.",
"Jen: Well, wasn't it already stolen, Dawson?",
"Pacey: I love the way that this girl thinks.",
"Dawson: Look, the point is, it's missing. Yesterday it wasn't.",
"Joey: So what's the harm in just letting it be lost, Dawson?",
"Jack: I agree. Whoever needed it was no more desperate than the rest of us, only quicker.",
"Andie: Doesn't it bother anyone what this says about our group's level of integrity?",
"Pacey: Well, I think I speak for our group when I respond with a hearty \"no!\"",

"Joey: You're not the lab rat, Jen. Dawson is.",
"Dawson: Watch it, Joey.",
"Joey: Throwing parties, crashing boats, upstaging marching bands? Dawson, if your rope was any more yanked, you'd be a church bell.",
"Dawson: Joey, Eve has nothing to do with this.",
"Joey: Oh, no. It's typical Dawson Leery behavior to offer your friends contraband.",
"Dawson: She didn't tell me to do anything with that test.",
"Joey: You are so blinded by her cover-girl looks, that you wouldn't even notice if she did. I bet when she offered you that test, you didn't fire one ethical comment her way, did you? It's just your friends who have to sit here and-- and suffer through the dawson leery morality play. Bleached blonde ho-bags willing to put out need not audition.",
"Dawson: Are you finished?",
"Joey: I could go on.",
"Dawson: Look, I'm sorry I brought you all into this, but one of us has taken this charade to another level. Here's the deal: I'm gonna leave my locker unlocked. Whoever has the test will put it inside by 5:30 today.",
"Pacey: Oh, come on, Dawson. The petty thief among us already left the crime scene. They're not gonna return that thing now. What's the incentive?",
"Dawson: To do the right thing.",
"[After the group has broken up. Andie goes over to Pacey.]",
"Andie: You got a second? It's important, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Sure. You know, Andie, I'm really not in the mood for some sordid heart-to-heart today, so if we can just kind of cut this thing short...",
"Andie: Ok. Consider this final negotiations.",
"[She hands him a box.]",
"Pacey: What's this?",
"Andie: Look for yourself.",
"Pacey: Well, it's some t-shirts, my panthers cap... And... Dumbo, which is the first thing that I ever gave to you.",

"Pacey: You don't think maybe this is a little harsh?",
"Andie: Pacey, this isn't going to be one of those long-drawn-out breakups. You're not dealing with the basket case you met last year. I have my life in order, and I intend on doing everything I can to keep it that way. I have a plan.",

"Henry: Hyah! All right, Jacky boy! Move 'em out! How to go! We hit! We hit! Jacky boy! Work! Work! Work! You know what you need?",
"Jack: What?",
"Henry: A mantra. A private word or sound. Everyone's got one.",
"Jack: Really? What for?",
"Henry: Something to focus on, to take your mind off the fact that you're about to be annihilated by a 250-pound lineman snorting fire at you from the other side of the ball.",
"Jack: Oh, that's great.",
"Henry: Seriously, Jack. Anything to stop from thinking. In this sport, thought equals death.",
"Jack: Let me ask you something. Why are you doing this?",
"Henry: What do you mean?",
"Jack: Helping me. I don't know-- I don't ..",
"Henry: That's easy. 2 reasons. First, I want to win football games, and without your magic hands, we don't stand a chance. And 2 is... Well... --you're gay, right? I mean, it's not supposed to be, like, a secret or anything?",
"Jack: No.",
"Henry: Whew!",
"Jack: Why the sudden interest in my sexual orientation?",
"Jack: Uh, well... There's this-- this girl that you know. More like an angel, really, or a goddess.",
"Jack: Who? I dream about her, Jack, every night, heavy dreams, about her lips, her breasts, her legs... If she would just allow me near her to smell her sweet smell, maybe even kiss me or take me in her arms-- deliver me from suffering falsehood! It would prove that there wasn't anything bad or--or empty-hearted in this world that couldn't be corrected.",
"Jack: Just slow down. Get a grip on yourself.",
"Henry: See how I am? You gotta help me, Jack. I'm begging you.",
"Jack: You're not--you're not talking about who I think you're--",
"Henry: A certain Head Cheerleader.",
"Jack: Jen Lindley?",
"Henry: What?",
"Jack: Word to the wise. This is no reflection on you, Henry, at all. But, um, you're a freshman. Ok? You have about as much chance with Jen Lindley as I have making it through that chute tomorrow.",

"Joey: Have you been drinking?",
"Pacey: Only liquor, I promise.",
"Joey: What's wrong?",
"Pacey: Ah, it's nothing a little bonfire won't fix. You see, our friend Andie... decided that she needed to cleanse me from her life to maintain her sanity. The casualties were the contents of this box. Behold [He falls over] unh! Oh, hello, Mr. Dock.",
"Joey: Pacey...",
"Pacey: Hey, Joe...",

"Dawson: 'Cause I believe in happy endings, Eve. You always have. Happy endings.",
"Eve: There's a contradiction in terms if I ever heard one.",
"Dawson: You're enjoying this.",
"Eve: Not really. It's just that my taste in fairy tales usually runs more towards... The Brothers Grimm.",

"Eve: All is not lost, prince.",
"Dawson: You know what, eve, just... Leave me the hell alone, ok?",
"Eve: Are you sure? Bet I can help you get the test back.",
"Dawson: How?",
"Eve: By telling you who took it.",
"Dawson: I'm listening.",
"Eve: Tell me who you think it is.",
"Dawson: I don't know.",
"Eve: Yes, you do. Whoever you were just thinking of, that's the thief.",
"Dawson: [Scoffs] It's that simple?",
"Eve: It is. Simple and obvious.",
"Dawson: I don't buy it. If there's one thing that I've learned from those stupid PSAT prep books, it's that the most obvious choice is usually the wrong one.",
"Eve: We're not talking about standardized tests here, Dawson. Take a look at your yearbook. It a crystal ball. The ones most likely to succeed usually succeed. And the one most likely to wind up in a chain gang... Usually has some rock-breaking in his future. Welcome to the real world, Dawson, where the first person to stab you in the back is your best friend.",
"[Scene: At the Marina, later in the evening. Pacey is sitting outside when Dawson comes up to him.]",
"Pacey: Well, if it isn't inspector get-a-Clouseau. What brings you to these parts at this late hour?",
"Dawson: You're drunk.",
"Pacey: You're quick.",
"Dawson: It's the night before the PSAT, Pacey. Why are you drinking?",
"Pacey: I don't need to study. I mean, I got the test, right?",
"Dawson: If you have it, give it back.",
"Pacey: Oh, I wish I did, hombre. I mean, I really wish I did. But I don't. I don't. It's not here. It's not at home under my bed with my playboys. It is nowhere to be found.",
"Dawson: Pacey, we've been friends for 16 years, and I'm not stupid.",
"Pacey: Friends, huh? Friends, you know, that word \"friends\"... it's an interesting word. It implies that you would actually believe your friend when he's telling you something.",
"Dawson: When they tell me the truth.",
"Pacey: When he's tell-- ha ha! You want to know what I find so very amusing about this situation? I mean, what i think is so really, really rich about all this is that you yourself were capable of stealing this test. All right, you thought about it. You didn't throw that test away. You didn't give it back to Eve. You brought the test to us!",
"Dawson: No. I wanted to consult the people I trusted to determine what the best thing was to do. I never thought that anyone would be so weak or so self motivated to actually swipe it.",
"Pacey: Weak and self-motivated, huh? Now, which one of those 2 colorful adjectives would I be?",
"Dawson: You are who you are, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Yes, I am, Dawson. And so are you. You, Dawson Leery, are a self-righteous son of a bitch who cares more about his rose-colored defunct 1950s belief system than the people who fail to live up to it, huh?",
"Dawson: Interesting choice of words, coming from a smug, cold-hearted son of a bitch who just dumped his girlfriend after she begged him-- pleaded for an ounce sympathy!",
"Pacey: At least I didn't send her father to prison.",
"Dawson: No. You just made her go crazy.",

"Pacey: I can't believe he thought I took it.",
"Joey: So what, Pacey?",
"Pacey: I thought if I'd earned anyone's respect, it was Dawson's. I mean, if the guy who knows you better than anybody on earth thinks you're a loser, then maybe--",
"Joey: Then maybe you are one? Come on. I mean, I've thought you were a loser for years, but you've never believed me.",
"Pacey: It's just... You know, when does a person start believing the general consensus about themselves?",
"Joey: When it's right.",
"Pacey: Do me a favor.",
"Joey: What?",
"Pacey: Would you tell your friend Dawson that I'm innocent? I mean, he'll believe you.",
"Joey: My friend? Look, he's your friend, too. And you know as well as I do that he's somewhere right now sulking over the gravity of his wrongful accusation.",
"Pacey: Oh, good. Let him stew in his own pride for a while.",
"Joey: We're all guilty of that.",
"Pacey: Hey, I'd never accuse him of cheating.",
"Joey: Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure he would never take the first swing at you.",
"Pacey: He started that whole thing.",
"Joey: I'm not getting into this.",
"Pacey: Ok. So, tell me...",
"Joey: What?",
"Pacey: What do you think happened to that test?",
"Joey: I don't know. And to be honest, I... I don't want to know. You know, there are certain things in life you just... You're better off not knowing, certain things that you wish you never knew, never asked, and, um... Never saw.",

"Eve: Which one of us gave y u the black eye?",
"Pacey: Look, Eve, I accept my blame in this, but don't even try to tell me that you didn't know what giving me that test would do.",
"Eve: Look, if crafting me as the villain in your little mystery is what it takes for you to sleep at night... Go right ahead. The fact is, we're all criminals, Dawson, in one way or another. It's just the stupid ones who get caught.",
"Dawson: Nice knowing you, eve.",
"Eve: Ha! Is that how it works? Someone offers you a view of human nature that's even remotely truthful, and you just walk away from them? It terrifies you, doesn't it? That wholesome Dawson Deery could be so overwhelmingly attracted to someone so flawed... so real. You know, the purpose of our spending time together was to get to know each other.",

"Mitch and Dawson clash when Gail gives Dawson an opportunity to produce a news report for local television. The subject of the report is Jack, Capeside's first gay football star, and Mitch is concerned that the timing of the piece could jeopardise his chances to win the upcoming game. Joey and Pacey are handed a strange punishment for skipping classes together, but when Pacey later reveals a personal project to Joey (that he has acquired a small boat that he is restoring), she stops blaming him for getting her in trouble. Meanwhile, Andie begins to panic when Principal Green asks to speak to her, and Jen decides to quit her position as head cheerleader, but the other girls will not let her go without a fight, especially when she is voted homecoming queen."

"Dawson: Hey, man, you are a lifesaver. I got less than 48 hours to become an expert documentarian, and all mom's newsreels are on beta.",
"Pacey: What? Dawson Leery eschewing the ephemeral world of make believe for the gritty realities of real life? Has the world spun off course? Was the Dalai Lama spotted at Black Angus?",
"Dawson: More like my mother's been dangling a big fat carrot. Human interest story she was working on at the network fell out at the last minute.",
"Pacey: And?",
"Dawson: And she says that if I can edit some raw footage by Friday morning, there's a chance she could whip it into shape and be on the air that night.",
"Pacey: Hey, it's the chance of a lifetime. That'll make a guy change his vision.",
"Dawson: Well, it's a temporary change. As soon as I get my foot in that proverbial door, I'll be right back in the magical land of make-believe.",
"Pacey: I don't know, Dawson. I mean, you got an amazing opportunity here to change your whole genre. Real-life stories are always more compelling than anything you could dream up.",
"Dawson: Real life is interesting, but it will never be as dramatic as a well-conceived narrative.",
"Pacey: Look at everything that's been happening in your life lately. Are you honestly telling me that you could conceive of something more thrilling, more sexy, and more far-fetched? Huh? All right, fine. Who's your guinea pig?",

"Grams: Jennifer.",
"Jen: Come on, Grams, the entire notion of cheerleading is just a sexist attempt to try and objectify the female body. I'm making a statement.",
"Grams: You're making a mockery.",
"Jen: The mockery has been made. I'm simply pointing it out. Although, I got to tell ya, I don't know how many more pep rallies and spirit cookies I can actually stomach.",

"Cheerleader: Now, Jenny Jen.",
"Jen: Ok? It's Jen. You know, this whole thing just started as a bad joke, an excuse to get out some excess energy, but do you see what it's turned into?

"Dawson: You'd have thought. I don't know. I mean, look at it from his point of view, you know? The last couple of years his cup hasn't exactly runneth over. He had to give up his dream restaurant idea, his wife stepped out on him with the Capeside equivalent of Ted Knight, and he's not exactly shining as a substitute teacher.",
"Joey: So if you go ahead with the story, he could lose more than the game. He could lose self-respect.",
"Dawson: Yeah. What do you think?",
"Joey: Well, I think that the swords that are the father and son have finally crossed in conflict. I mean, face it, Dawson, this is the stuff of Greek dramas.",
"Dawson: Yeah, but is this tragedy or comedy?",
"Joey: Sometimes we fight our fathers, and they respect us, and sometimes... We fight them and... We lose them forever. You have to decide how you want to live your life. You know? What you can tolerate and... And what you're willing to lose.",
"Dawson: Oh, god, this is so important to me, but if I do it, it's gonna kill him.",
"Joey: Well... I hate to break it to ya, Dawson, but according to Freud, that's exactly what sons are supposed to do.",
"[He pulls out a tape from his bag and hands it to Joey.]",
"Dawson: I dubbed this for ya.",
"Joey: What's this?",
"Dawson: Something I found. Made me smile. I guess, now, you could call it a thank you.",
"[He gives her the tape then leaves.]",
"Joey: [Sigh]",
"[Scene: Jen's bedroom. She is asleep, and there are a bunch of cheerleaders and Grams in the room looking at her.]",
"Cheerleaders: It must be dried saliva. No, it's a zipper mark from the pillow.",
"[Jen wakes up to see them.]",
"Grams: Yes, that bright sensation in your eyes is, indeed, sunlight. Rise and shine, dear girl. These lovely young ladies have an urgent matter to discuss with you.",
"Jen: I told you that I was through with cheerleading. And unless one of you is hiding a very large cup of black coffee under her pompoms, I suggest you leave.",
"Cheerleader: Oh, no, we respect your decision to resign from the squad, Madison has accepted the leadership challenge but please, you must reconsider the kiss.",
"Grams: Someone has bid $500.",
"Cheerleader: But they've specifically stipulated that the kiss must come from you.",
"Jen: I don't care if they bid the kingdom of Brunei, I'm not for sale.",
"Cheerleader: What are we gonna tell the children of the CCHPC?",
"Jen: The what?",
"Grams: The Capeside County Home for Parentless Children.",
"Jen: Orphans? That-- that's what the auction is for? Ohh...",
"[Scene: School hallway. Andie is looking at some pamphlets on a table when Principal Green comes up to her.]",
"Principal Green: Uh, Miss McPhee. Been looking for you.",
"Andie: Principal Green.",
"Principal Green: Yes, listen, uh, a critical problem has been brought to my attention, and I need to talk to you about it.",
"Andie: [Nervous] What sort of problem, sir?",
"Principal Green: It's a disciplinary matter.",
"Andie: [Nervously] Disciplinary?",
"Principal Green: Yes. Now, I'm unable to discuss it with you at length now, but if you come to my office Monday, we'll sit down and go over all of our options in detail.",
"Andie: [Nervously] Options...Yes, sir.",
"Principal Green: Monday morning. Be there.",
"[Scene: Inside Principal Green's Office. He enters the office and Pacey and Joey are sitting there waiting for him.]",
"Principal Green: So, since Mr. Witter's attempt at lying to me was so creative, I've come up with a little creative response in kind.",
"Pacey: Well, coming from a just-minded soul such as yourself, I'm sure your punishment will be nothing but fair, sir.",
"Joey: Oh, thank you, Eddie Haskell.",
"Pacey: Where is your school spirit, Josephine?",
"Joey: I think I left it cowering in the bushes.",
"Pacey: Now that is a gross misconception. I hurled myself upon the flames of responsibility.",
"Joey: I hope a deer tick crawled in your ear and laid eggs.",
"Principal Green: Enough! Honestly. I am not sure how to get through to the two of you, but since you obviously have an affinity for one another, here's what I have in mind.",
"[He grabs a box from the corner and brings it over to them. Pulls the mule head costume out.]",
"Joey: No way.",
"Pacey: Oh, that's not gonna happen.",
"Principal Green: Oh, I'm glad to see we're all in agreement here.",
"[Scene: School Stairway. Jack and another football player are talking, and Andie is sitting one of the bottom stairs while students are walking around her.]",
"Football Player: I can't believe he caught the thing. It was way over his head.",
"[Jack sees Andie and stops to talk to her.]",
"Jack: Hey!",
"Andie: Hey.",
"Jack: What's wrong?",
"Andie: Nothing's wrong. Why should anything be wrong?",
"Jack: Because you're sitting in a stairwell of a public high school. Unless you're smoking or making out, it's cause for concern.",
"[He gets her up and starts to walk down the hall.]",
"Jack: Come on, I'm going to meet Dawson. We're gonna check out the footage from my interview.",
"Andie: You went through with it?",
"Jack: Yeah. It was cool. It went great.",
"Andie: Well, it may seem that way today, but anything could happen tomorrow to rock your safe little world.",
"Jack: What?!",
"Andie: Jack, maybe you overlooked something. Maybe--maybe you didn't see every angle. Maybe you had a terrible moment of weakness. Maybe without even realizing it, you totally, irreversibly screwed up.",
"Jack: Andie, it's not that big a deal. Why be so paranoid?",
"Andie: Jack, you could live your entire life on the straight and narrow driving towards something you believe in, then what? One tiny little mistake, one little error in judgment, and the next thing you know, your car's on the side of the road, flipped over, wheels still spinning, and the radio on.",
"Jack: What the hell are you talking about?",
"Andie: I'm talking about being publicly shamed, exposed for what you really are. I'm talking about a life being ruined, cut short, nipped in the bud, I'm talking about breaking dad's heart.",
"Jack: Dad?",
"Andie: Think about how he's gonna feel, Jack, his disappointment, his humiliation. We are his pride and joy, Jack. Think about how hard he's worked for us over the years, how much he sacrificed. And now this, out in the open for everyone to see.",
"Jack: Just calm down, all right? I mean, it's not like I'm still in the closet. Dad already knows I'm gay.",
"Andie: I know-- yeah, I know. I know. I just want you to be careful, Jack. Every action has a consequence. Be sure you think this thing through.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Dawson's living room. Dawson and his father are watching his story on the news. The opposing coaches interview with Dawson.]",
"Jack voice: No one really seems to care what I may or may not do off the field.",
"Dawson's Voice: So you have no problem playing against someone who's openly gay?",
"Coach: If a kid wants to come out wearing lipstick and rouge, we're gonna infringe on him the way we infringe on anybody else. No difference.",
"[The show is over.]",
"Dawson: Well...",
"Mitch: I just lost the first game of my coaching career.",
"Dawson: If you say so.",
"Mitch: Dawson, that just went out to 3 million people. Not to mention you interviewed the opposing coach.",
"Dawson: So?",
"Mitch: So? So 2 days ago, nobody knew how good jack was or who he is. Now the whole world knows. You might as well have gone out and painted a bull's-eye on his back.",
"Dawson: You never explained that to me, dad.",
"Mitch: I didn't think I had to. It's pretty damn obvious!",
"Dawson: Not to me it isn't! Instead of celebrating my first professional success in the world, we're sitting here worrying about a football game.",
"Mitch: Don't make me out to be the bad guy here, Dawson. Yes, I'm angry, just like you knew I would be.",
"Dawson: We're talking about a team that hasn't put a notch on the win column in 3 years.",
"Mitch: Now what are we saying, that I'm wasting my time?",
"Dawson: No, but I want you to have some perspective.",
"Mitch: I can't even discuss this with you right now. You have no idea what you're talkin' about!",
"Dawson: Thanks to you, I don't. Ever since you took this job, you haven't spoken to me.",
"Mitch. I talk to you.",
"Dawson: Not the way you talk to the guys on your team.",
"Mitch: Well, you know what? They respect me.",
"Dawson: I respect you, dad. It's just they're more the kind of son you wish you'd had.",
"Mitch: That is not true. Dawson, I hum the theme from Close Encounters in my sleep! I reach out to you! And when we can't find common ground, I give you your space.",
"Dawson: And when I take it, you get pissed off at me.",
"Mitch: No. I'm just trying to break you out of your self-centered, self-righteous fantasy world long enough to look out for other people.",
"Dawson: Since when is it my responsibility to look out for you?",
"Mitch: What are you saying?",
"Dawson: I'm saying I parent you, dad. I walk in on you having s*x. I give you advice. I'm the kid around here! Sometimes I might even act like it!",
"[Scene: Football Game. The game is already going on. Capeside if on offense and They continually show passes to Jack. Who is immediately hit and tackled by several of the opposing team.]",
"[crowd, chanting] defense! Whoo whoo! Defense!",
"Opp. Coach: Come on, let's hit him! Hit him! Hit him!",
"[Jack is on the bottom of a pile of the opposing players.]",
"Player: Go back to tetherball, you limp-wristed homo!",
"[Jack gets up with the help of his team mate.]",
"Henry: This is getting ugly.",
"Mitch: [On the sideline] Crackback, damn it! Crackback, crackback! Right guard blocks down. Litvack takes out the end! They're keying on Jack. He's getting killed out there. And our running game's DOA. Walk it off, McPhee! [Claps] good man! Walk it off! Walk it off.",
"Jack: [To himself] I am walkin' it of, you walk it off.",
"Mitch: You all right? Huddle up! Let's go!",
"[On the stands. Dawson and Jen are watching the game.]",
"Dawson: So tell me the truth. Is this all my fault?",
"Jen: In a word... Yes. Look on the bright side, Dawson. At least when this is all over, win or lose, you won't be on the 50-yard line puckering your lips for some spoiled brat with furry teeth and halitosis.",
"[Cut to the sideline. Pacey and Joey are there with the box containing the Mascot costume.]",
"Pacey: Just think of it as method acting.",
"Joey: Think of it as out of the question.",
"Pacey: I'll flip you for it.",
"Joey: Not a chance!",
"Pacey: Die die bo?",
"Joey: Forget it.",
"Pacey: Fine. I'll just cut to the chase for you--please, Joey! Please, please, please! Don't make me go out there.",
"Joey: Look, I'm supposed to be at work right now making much-needed money, but instead, because of you, I'm standing on a football field fighting over the rear end of a mule.",
"Pacey: Fine. Fine. I was just giving you fair warning.",
"Joey: What?",
"Pacey: I tend to get a little carsick in backseats.",
"[She just looks at him, and then puts the head on him.]",
"[Scene: Close up of Andie's Face. She is trying to explain something.]",
"Andie: Principal green? I made a mistake. Well...A terrible error in judgment, really. I know that there's no excuse for what I've done, so I won't waste your time, but there is an explanation, one that I can only pray you'll find in your heart to understand. See, there this guy... And when I met him, it was like... Like a shade going up in a dark room and light suddenly pouring in. He understood me in a way that no one ever did or could. And then, just as suddenly, the room got dark again. In my mind, I mean. See... Over the summer... I was treated at a psychiatric hospital. I didn't have to stay long, because I got better. But when I came back, I had lost the guy. He was...My soul mate. It was like having...an organ, my heart, literally ripped from my body. And all I could feel was cold and empty, my future slipping away. And I had lost the love... So I was determined not to lose my life, and that's why... I stole the test, and that's why I cheated. Because I wanted to try to keep it from all getting away from me, and...I know that I only made things worse. So... Now all I can ask for is your compassion.",
"[The camera pulls away, and she is standing in front of a mirror in her bathroom.]",
"[Scene: In the stands. The first half has just finished. Dawson and Jen are in the stands.]",
"Dawson: Let's go.",
"Jen: Where are we going?",
"Dawson: To even the score.",
"[Scene: Inside the Locker room. Mitch is giving the team a pep talk.]",
"Mitch: Come on, guys. You can't let 'em get to ya! They are psyching you out! Taking us out of our game plan. The truth is, we're not moving the ball. We're not firing out on defense! Suck in that gut and go harder. A long time ago... There was a Chinese warrior-philosopher.",
"Dawson: General Sun-Tzu.",
"[Dawson has entered the locker room, he's carrying a bucket, and Mitch looks up.]",
"Dawson: Brilliant military strategist who lived about 2,000 years ago. My dad has been telling me about him ever since I was a kid.",
"Mitch: What's with the bucket?",
"Dawson: We're gonna turn our weakness into a strength, just like the general said. We're gonna start by obscuring everyone's number so the other team can't find Jack.",
"Mitch: That might work for a couple of plays.",
"Dawson: That's why it's only phase one.",
"Mitch: So what's phase 2?",
"Dawson: Jen.",
"[Dawson opens the door and Jen and the rest of the Cheerleaders come in.]",
"[Scene: On the football field. The Second Half is just about to begin. The score is 21 to 0 for the Visitors. Capeside is on the Offense.]",
"Opp. Coach: All right, let's get up there, get up there and hit somebody now! Hit somebody!",
"Mitch: Here we go. Cross your fingers.",
"[Back to the huddle. Henry is calling the plays.]",
"Henry: [To Jack] Ready?",
"Jack: [nods]",
"Henry: Break!",
"[They line up, and the other team lines up in defense, but are confused as the Capeside team members all look up at them, and they are all wearing tons of makeup.]",
"Henry: 42, blue turk right. Double slot. [To the other team] Try and find the homo now! Set! Hike!",
"[Scene: On the Football game. It s almost the end of the game, and Capeside is on Offense again.]",
"Announcer: What an incredible comeback! 21-24! With 7 seconds left, the Minutemen have one last chance.",
"Henry: Can you get a step on him, Jack? One more time. What do you think?",
"Jack: I think my mascara's running.",
"[Chuckling]",
"Jack: Just throw me the ball. I'll catch it.",
"Henry: Consider it done. All right, cradle out. Drill-9 shiver. Broadside option, flow-and-go. On 2. Ready? Break!",
"[The pass is off, and Jack is running down the field.]",
"Opp. Coach: Hit him! Hit him!",
"[The ball comes over his sholder and he makes the catch.]",
"Announcer: McPhee has it! He has it! Touchdown! It's a touchdown! Capeside wins! Capeside wins!",
"[On the sideline. Mitch is starting to celebrate, and Principal Green comes over.]",
"Principal Green: Outstanding! Outstanding! Mitch!",
"Mitch: Yes, sir.",
"Principal Green: That was one of the most irreverent and imaginative game plans I've ever seen. Congratulations, coach!",
"Mitch: Thank you. That's grea",
"[The team dumps the water cooler over him.]",
"Mitch: Aah!",
"[Cut to the stands. Dawson and Jen are there watching them.]",
"Jen: One good deed down, one to go. Jennifer Lindley, once again a victim of her own big heart.",

"Principal Green: Not right now, Andie.",

"Principal Green: Ok, what is it?",
"Andie: Well, I made mistake. Well, a terrible error in judgment really.",
"Principal Green: What kind of mistake?",
"Andie: Well, I know there's no excuse for what I've done",
"Principal Green: What are you talking about, Andie?",
"Andie: Didn't you want to talk to me?",
"Principal Green: That was Monday. I was gonna discuss it with you on Monday. But if you must know now, I'm forming a new student disciplinary committee, and I want you to be in charge of it.",
"Andie: Oh! Well... I could do that. I mean, I would be honored to do that!",
"Principal Green: Ok. Now, what was this mistake you were talking about?",
"Andie: I shouldn't have interrupted you. It's a mistake to be so...Impatient. But I'm working on it, sir.",
"Principal Green: [Chuckles] Ok. I'll talk to you later",
"Andie: [To herself] I'm working on it.",
"[Cut to the center of the field. Everyone is circling around for the special moment.]",
"[Cheering]",
"Principal Green: All right! Ok! Ok! And now, ladies ad gentlemen, the moment that you've all been waiting for-- the winner of the silent auction who is entitled to one ride on the Minuteman mule and one heart-stopping kiss from our head cheerleader.",
"Jen: Ex-head cheerleader.",
"Principal Green: And here he is!",
"[The crowd separates and the mule comes in and collapses along the way, and Henry was riding it. He gets up and walks up to Jen.]",
"Jen: Henry? How the hell did you get $500?",
"Henry: M-mouthpiece?",
"Jen: Mouth-- wait a minute. You sold your-- your good luck Doug Flutie memorial mouthpiece just to kiss me? I don't know whether to gag or be incredibly touched.",
"[Chanting] kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss... Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss...",
"Henry: You--you don't have to. [Chanting] Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss...",
"Henry: If you don't want to. [Chanting]Kiss, kiss kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss..",
"Jen: Come here, freshman.",
"[She gives him a big kiss.]",
"[Cheering]",
"Jen: Ok, ok, everybody go home! Show's over, folks! Go home!",
"Principal Green: No, no, no. Not quite yet. We have a little unfinished business yet here. Ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you your choice for Capeside's 1999 Homecoming Queen, Miss Jennifer Lindley!",
"[Cheering]",
"Jen: This isn't happening.",
"[On the sideline. Andie and Jack are there.]",
"Andie: See? I told you everything would work out fine.",
"Jack: You did?",
"Andie: Yeah! Everything usually works out for the best as long as you keep a positive attitude.",
"Jack: Positive attitude. Ok. Is this before or after I disgraced the family's good name and forever humiliated our father, huh?",
"Andie: Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. I'm sure he's over it. He's probably out sailing or golfing or wherever he is. I wouldn't give it another thought.",
"Jack: Andie, you're making my head spin.",
"Andie: Look, Jack, I am just glad it's over. I can't tell you how relieved I am. Hey, so who won the game anyway?",
"[Cut to the fallen mule. The top of the costume comes off and there are 2 strange students in it.]",
"Girl: Somebody was so sweaty, I couldn't even breathe!",
"Guy: Well, somebody wouldn't let me take my shirt off.",
"Girl: Well, somebody forgot to open the air vent!",
"Guy: Well, somebody forgot to mention there were air vents in the first place!",
"Girl: I told you we never should have listened to those two slackers.",
"[Scene: In the Boat Yards. Joey and Pacey are driving through a lot of boats and Pacey brings Joey up to one in particular.]",
"Joey: This is it? This is the surprise?",
"Pacey: Isn't she beautiful?",
"Joey: Yeah, in a Titanic post iceberg sort of way. Where did you get this?",
"Pacey: This friend of my brother's. He works down in the marina. He rescued her after the last hurricane. The guy who owned her didn't want her anymore, so I convinced him to sell her to me for, like, 200 bucks. When I finish with this boat, it is going to be sheer perfection.",
"Joey: Look at that. Pacey, do you know how much money and time it'll take you to even get this boat to float?",
"Pacey: Yeah. Not a minute more or less than as long as it takes me. You watch, Potter. Couple of months, I'll be sailing this baby around the world.",
"Joey: Well, I hate to break it to you, Captain Stubing, but you can't sail around the world in a 20-foot boat.",
"Pacey: Sure, I can!",
"Joey: Where are you gonna put the supplies?",
"Pacey: Hey, the U.S.S. Minnow was no bigger than this, and they found room for all of Mr. Howell's money, all of the professor's tools, all of Ginger's clothes And where do you think you're going?",
"Joey: Permission to come aboard?",
"Pacey: Permission granted.",
"Joey: Thank you. Ah.",
"Pacey: And now, the purpose for our little foray into truancy...",
"[He opens the package they got earlier.]",
"Pacey: What do you say?",
"Joey: True love\"?",
"Pacey: Yeah. It's my girl's name.",
"Joey: It's kinda high on the schmaltz factor, huh?",
"Pacey: Acutely. But sweet. Remember, I told you I needed your help with something.",
"Joey: With what?",
"[He hands her a sander.]",
"Pacey: Start sandin'.",
"Joey: You are so overboard.",
"[Scene: The football field sideline bench. It's night and Dawson is sitting on it and Mitch walks up and sits down next to him.]",
"Mitch: The night you were born, I bawled like a baby.",
"Dawson: Did you really? I didn't know that.",
"Mitch: I think I cried for 24 hours straight. Holding you so... Small in my arms. I never knew I could love anything so much... So fast...So utterly. Part of me was terrified. Raising a son is more a matter of faith than most people know.",
"Dawson: So's being one.",
"Mitch: You're right. I think I realized something today.",
"Dawson: What?",
"Mitch: That my job as a father... Isn't to give you the whole picture, because the truth is, I can't see it myself. My job is to try and help...Every now and then with a piece of the puzzle.",
"Dawson: You have helped me, dad.",
"Mitch: I hope so. But your...Future, your expectations, they belong to you. Don't let anybody stand in the way. Not even me.",
"Dawson: You always push me to be my own person, think for myself. I just did what you taught me.",
"Mitch: So what do you say we go home, and pop in a little Close Encounters or something, huh?",
"Dawson: Actually... I was thinking...",
"[He grabs the football from the bag.]",
"Dawson: How about a game of catch?",
"Mitch: Gimme that. Why don't we leave the football here on the field where it belongs?",
"[He throws the ball out into the empty field. The camera follow the ball flight, and it morphs into a home movie of Dawson and Mitch playing ball when Dawson was a little kid.]",
"[Scene: Joey's house. Later that evening. She is watching the video that Dawson made for her. It is a compilation of them as kids, and she watches as they play on the swings, and Hide and seek.]",
"Young Joey: 7, 8, 9, 10.",
"[Young Dawson taps young Joey on the shoulder and she chases him around and finishes with them walking off together, and then saying good bye to each other.]",

"Dawson struggles with whether or not to tell Jen the truth about Eve, who has by now left town. Later, his mother returns to Capeside, but it isn't initially clear why. Jen is reluctant to plan a big homecoming event, but is persuaded to get involved by Henry who is friends with the host of the event. She repays him by asking him to be her date to the party, but later disappoints him when she rejects his advances. Dawson also attends the event as an escort for his mother, a former homecoming queen, and accidentally discovers that she is having career difficulties. Andie accuses Joey of sabotaging her chances of a reunion with Pacey, but the two girls end up bonding when Andie realises Joey is not to blame."

"[Scene: Inside the school hallway. Jen and Dawson are walking together to Dawson's Locker, while talking to each other.]",
"Jen: Genetic inevitability is what it is.",
"Dawson: What's what it is?",
"Jen: The fact that I'm turning into my mother. Take this whole homecoming queen debacle.",
"Dawson: Your mom was an HQ?",
"Jen: Aw, she was Miss Cape Cod. Same difference. Who graduated from the swimsuit competition to a life of cucumber sandwiches, high teas... And junior league.",
"Dawson: Point being?",
"Jen: Just that despite all my best efforts, I, too, have managed to reach the very pinnacle of Capeside popular culture. Dawson, I have sold my soul. I've become that false character who just follows their name around.",
"Dawson: Beat yourself up much, Jen?",
"Jen: Only when I deserve it. Just another happy character flaw brought to you directly from mommy dearest.",
"Dawson: You've got it backwards. I don't think anybody voted for you because you were like your mom. I think they voted for you because you were different.",
"Jen: They voted for me because I'm blonde and I fill out my sweater.",
"Dawson: That, too, but I think when-- no, when kids voted for you, they voted for an outsider. Provocateur. Messiah to lead them from the mainstream.",
"[Mr. Milo comes up to them in the hallway with several women following him.]",
"Mr. Milo: There she is Miss Lindley, my we interrupt?",
"Jen: With good news I hope, Mr. Milo.",
"Mr. Milo: Allow me to introduce to you Capeside High's finest. You are looking at half a century of homecoming queens. Ladies, may I present Miss Jennifer Lindley? 1999's proud addition to your number.",
"Constance: My name is Constance Freckling. Of the Mayflower Frecklings. Famous Freckling's Candies. I'm the oldest living HQ. Now, Jennifer, if you'll extend your index finger along the inside of my wrist, like this... Congratulations. You've just learned the secret handshake. Welcome to the club. I've heard all about you.",

"Joey: Now tell me, whose brilliant idea was this again?",
"Joey and Pacey: Mine.",
"Pacey: Ok, it was your sister's idea to craft this place into a bed and breakfast, but I'm the one who told her how she could do it for next to nothing.",
"Bessie: Oh, and, Pacey, be sure and thank your dad again for getting us the help.",
"Pacey: Please. I finally figured out what the police auxiliary in this town is for. Take it black?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Pacey: Ok, Potter, what's up?",
"Joey: Well, considering that a lot of our insurance money is going to be swallowed up in this, I just hope it all works out.",
"Pacey: It'll work.",
"Joey: It better. I can't go back to the marina gig.",
"Pacey: Yeah, whatever happened with that creep anyhow?",
"Joey: Long story. He was going out on a date with, uh Somebody that I know, and I was concerned about her, and I tried to warn her, and as a result, he fired me the next day.",
"Pacey: Oh, what a charmer. So who was the girl?",
"Joey: No one you know.",
"Pacey: Really? Yeah, Potter. Do yourself a favor. Don't ever go into politics, ok? You're constitutionally incapable of lying with a straight face. So who was she? [Realizing who it is] Oh.",
"Joey: Sorry. I wasn't going to tell you, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Why do I feel like I just got hit with a sledgehammer?",

"Dawson: Nobody's quite sure, although I'm interpreting it as an early sign of Armageddon.",

"Andie: Hi.",
"Pacey: I just remembered I got some French vocab to study for.",
"Andie: You don't take French.",
"Pacey: Well, all the more reason, right?",
"[He leaves.]",
"Andie: You told him.",
"Joey: Slipped out over breakfast.",
"Andie: Breakfast?",
"Joey: Yeah, Pacey's been helping Bessie and me with the addition. The one we're investing every spare cent we have to build so we can hopefully open soon and financially barely scrap by.",
"Andie: Look, Joey, it wasn't my fault you got fired, and even if it was, which it wasn't, you can't stay mad at me forever, ok?",
"Joey: Not forever, but... A few solid months.",
"Andie: Ok, I don't know what rob and I are. All I know is I can't help it. I like him.",
"Joey: For now, but I can promise you this, Andie. You're going to get a big, fat \"I told you so.\"",
"[Scene: Miss Constance Freckling's house. Jen comes up the door, and there is a note on it for her. She quickly reads the note and goes into the house to eventually find a room where a dress that Constance was working on is. She begins to look at it, when Constance comes in carrying a tray.]",
"Constance: Don't slouch, young lady. Square your shoulders and face the world. What do you think?",
"Jen: Excuse me?",
"Constance: The dress. It's nearly finished. I make a new one every year for tomorrow's gala celebration.",
"Jen: Oh, see, that's what I wanted to",
"Constance: One must remain modern, after all. I'm thinking of lifting the hem and softening the neckline a little.",
"Jen: Softening would be good. Listen, Mrs. Freckling--",
"Constance: Miss Freckling. I never married.",
"[Bang]",
"Jen: Oh. What in thew, world was that?",
"Constance: Hank.",
"Jen: Hank?",
"Constance: My handy boy. Heh heh. Lovely child. Lives right down the road. Presently, he's hanging extra twinkle bulbs on my roof.",
"Jen: Oh.",
"[Banging continues]",
"Jen: Yeah, about that party-- I hope that you don't mind, but... It's just that I've been through all this before, with my mother, and she was constantly trying to turn me into a debutante and it's just not really my thing.",
"Constance: Oh, but I do mind. You have a responsibility, young lady, As the newly crowned queen to help me host this event.",
"Jen: But I never asked for any of this.",
"Constance: Nor did I ask for you, Jennifer. Most girls who walk through this door are pleased as punch to be here. They're sweet, upstanding, enthusiastic girls who relish the chance to be role models. They tend to... Stand up straight, comb their hair, and... Wear brassieres. Am I making myself clear?",
"Jen: Crystal.",
"[She leaves the house. When she gets out side she hears some sliding and then Henry falls from the roof to land in front of her.]",

"Joey: Just like the cops to disappear when the going gets tough.",
"Pacey: Some of them do have wives and children to get home to. Besides, we're almost done here, and, you know, I was thinking. You're gonna need a name for this addition when we do get finished, so a suggestion, if I may. How does the Pacey J. Witter wing strike you?",
"Joey: Keep talking, it'll be a memorial dedication.",
"Pacey: You know, Potter, sometimes your lack of gratefulness-- it borders on unappealing.",

"Andie: I don't wanna talk about it. I just wanna go home.",
"Pacey: Andie, you gotta tell us what happened first.",
"Andie: Pacey, please.",
"Joey: Andie, what did he do? Did he try to hurt you?",
"Pacey: Andie, you gotta tell us. What did this guy do to you?",
"Andie: Um...We were...Upstairs in the bedroom... and we were just kissing. And then...He started trying to...And I kept saying no, and he kept trying, and then I managed to get away before anything else happened, that's when I came down and I called Joey, and can we just go now, please?",
"Pacey: Where is he?",
"Andie: Don't worry about it.",

"Rob: Where is she? Let me talk to her.",
"Pacey: You're not going anywhere near her.",
"Rob: Get out of my face, man. Get off me.",
"Pacey: If you so much as touch her again, I am going to nail you to a cross.",
"Rob: Wait a minute. I didn't even lay a hand on her.",
"Pacey: Oh, hey, save it for the judge, Logan, huh?",
"Rob: Get out of my house!",
"[Scene: Inside Constance's Green House. Henry and Jen are there looking at the flowers away from the bees.]",

"Henry: Isn't it? You're looking at over 200 plants. Bulbophyllum virginalis.",
"Jen: You're making that up.",
"Henry: No, I'm not. I swear. Sometimes they get a little suggestive with the names.",
"Jen: Ok, gimme another one.",
"Henry: Ok, how about... Polystachya pubescens? or... Vanda Vaginatum?",
"Jen: Ooh, is it hot in here, or did you just make me blush?",
"Henry: Oh.",
"Jen: Relax, Henry. It'll take a lot more than a flower to fel1 me. Hmm, how did you learn so much about these?",
"Henry: Miss freckling.",
"Jen: What's the deal with her?",
"Henry: What do you mean?",
"Jen: She's wound so tight, she's like a violin string.",
"Henry: No, she's... She's just sad.",
"Jen: Sad?",
"Henry: She's got no one in her life. She never had kids, no relatives. I've lived next door to her for 10 years. I think I'm her best friend.",
"Jen: I don't know who to feel sorrier for, you or her. Henry, we're gonna have to toughen you up. You keep wearing your heart on your sleeve like that, and you're gonna bleed to death.",
"Henry: It's not me. It's... It's her. You have no idea how much she was looking forward to meeting you.",
"Jen: She was?",
"Henry: I told her all about you. See. The thing is, she has exactly 2 events on her social calendar the W.O.C. In Miami every spring--",
"Jen: W.O.C.?",
"Henry: The World Orchid Conference. And in the fall, the homecoming queen gala. It's what she lives for. Without them... She's got nothing at all.",
"[Scene: Joey's house. Joey and Pacey are talking to Andie, about tonight's events.]",
"Joey: Look, um, you need to go to the station tonight.",
"Andie: Uhh, I can't go to the station.",
"Joey: Andie, you have to. You have to talk to the police.",
"Andie: Joey, it's not like he actually did anything.",

"Jen: Well, I...I... I'm just getting to know him.",
"Henry: Well, if he likes you, you can't be all bad.",
"Jen: You know, I was just thinking the same thing about you.",
"Henry: So, should we wait for the waters to calm or just dive right into the party planning?",
"Jen: I say dive right in.",
"Constance: Very well. Um, entertainment or food? Take your pick.",
"Jen: Um... Entertainment?",
"Constance: Ahh, surprise, surprise. Now, since it's my house, there are some rules.",
"Jen: Surprise, surprise.",
"Constance: No mimes, no magicians, no Barry Manilow, no Elvis look-alikes, no motivational speakers, no comedy troupes, no break dancing, no gangsta rap, no animal tricks--",
"Jen: Ok, no nothing that you might possibly see on Letterman.",
"Constance: What's Letterman?",

"Jen: Oh, and there's one more thing.",
"Constance: What's that?",
"Jen: Well, uh, he doesn't know it yet, but... Hank here... is going as my date.",
"[Scene: Pacey's boat, the True Love. Andie and Pacey are there talking.]",
"Andie: True Love. That's ironic.",
"Pacey: Yeah, well... I figured since it didn't exist, I'd try and create it for myself.",
"Andie: Why did you bring me here?",
"Pacey: Because...Well, you said you wanted to go someplace quiet.",
"Andie: There's lots of quiet places, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Yeah, I guess there are, heh. Um... I guess I just wanted to show you I've been ok since we ended things. I've found a way to turn what's been killing me into something potentially beautiful.",
"Andie: I haven't, Pacey. I'm not over you.",
"Pacey: You will be, McPhee.",
"Andie: See, even that-- just you calling me by my last name-- Do you know how long I've waited to hear that?",
"Pacey: You've been through a lot tonight, Andie. Let's not go there.",
"Andie: If it took what happened tonight to bring us together, then so be it.",
"Pacey: We're not together. I mean, I'm here for you, but we're not together.",
"Andie: If we're not together, then... I'm not sitting beside you... Staring into your eyes... And kissing you.",
"[She bends over to kiss him.]",
"Pacey: Andie... Sorry. We just can't.",
"Andie: Phew!",
"Pacey: We can't. For so many reasons, we can't.",
"Andie: I'm not asking you what we can't do Pacey. I'm asking you what you want to do.",
"Pacey: I want to know that you're ok. That's all that matters to me now.",
"Andie: That's a shame because you still matter to me in every way. I want to be with you, Pacey.",
"Pacey: I know that's how you're feeling right now, but tomorrow could be entirely different story.",
"Andie: I'm not talking about tomorrow. I'm talking about right now. Tonight. You and me together, under the stars... Just like it used to be. I'm talking about a kiss. That's all I'm asking. Don't you want to?",
"[After some hesitation, they kiss.]",
"[Scene: Inside Pacey's father's car. Pacey is driving Andie home. They get to her house.]",
"Andie: Thanks for taking care of me.",
"Pacey: Right back at you, Andie.",
"Andie: I just wanna say, for the record, about last night? Whatever did or did not happen between us happened for a reason, and I, for one, am 100% ok with it. And wherever it may lead, whatever new status may result-- it's totally--",
"Pacey: Andie.",
"Andie: I'm rambling. Yeah. Well, it's an awkward moment, Pacey, and I'm scared, and in scared moments. Some people do that. Sometimes they ramble when they're--",
"Pacey: Andie.",
"Andie: Rambling again. Right. I guess I just wanna know that you're feeling what I'm feeling.",

"Joey: Didn't you read the sign? No known s*x offenders within 200 yards of my property.",
"[Joey goes to close the door in his face but he stops her.]",
"Rob: I didn't do it!",
"Joey: Not bad. You could use a little work on the delivery, however. I suggest a less forceful interpretation.",
"Rob: Joey, please, just tell me...[He stops her from closing the door again.] Tell she hasn't gone to the police.",
"Joey: You touch me again and I will scream faster than you can say William Kennedy Smith!",
"Rob: Look, Joey, she was the one that wanted to go upstairs, ok? She--she practically dragged me up to that room. And when we started kissing, I swear, she just freaked out.",
"Joey: Rob, you do not have a lot of credibility with me right now.",
"Rob: Fine. I admit it, ok? But there is a difference between an inappropriate workplace flirtation--",
"Joey: And sexual assault? You draw your own line in the sand, Rob. They are both against the law.",
"Rob: I have never forced myself on anyone.",
"Joey: If you say so.",
"Rob: You know, it's no secret that she's unstable. No secret that she spent some time in a mental hospital.",
"Joey: I'm going to pretend you never said that.",
"Rob: Then why would she do this, huh? [She slams the door in his face.] That's all I wanna know! For what possible reason?",

"Constance: Splendid. Splendid.",
"Dawson: I wonder where Jen is.",
"Gail: Oh, don't look now, but here comes Marilyn Mendick and her husband. I haven't seen them in years. I can't stand that woman.",
"Marilyn: Oh... Oh, Gail, Dawson.",
"Gail: Neil, Marilyn.",
"Marilyn: I heard all about Philadelphia.",
"Gail: I'm sure you did. Excuse us. We were just gonna get a drink.",
"Dawson: Actually I'm quite proud of my mom.",
"Marilyn: Oh, we all are. Even if Philadelphia didn't quite agree with her. Honestly, I think it's perfectly absurd... To fire an anchor because the public felt she was too old to identify with. Oh, you wouldn't hear them saying that about Diane Sawyer.",
"Neil: Gail, I speak for the whole county when I say you'd be welcome back on our airwaves anytime.",
"Gail: Thank you, Neil.",
"Neil: Shall we?",
"[They leave]",
"Jen: Um, is there something you want to tell me?",
"Constance: You're late and the entertainment still isn't here. And that wardrobe is far from appropriate attire. I demand you return home and change this instant. I can understand why she would turn this into a travesty, but why you, Henry?",
"Jen: Relax, ok? I put him up to it. And you haven't seen anything yet.",
"[Several Drag queens enter the party.]",
"Amanda: I swear it's hotter than a French prostitute in this dress.",
"Christy: What you need, Amanda, is a long tall stiff one.",
"Amanda: On the rocks.",
"Summer: It, sugar.",
"Constance: Who and what are they?",
"Jen: They...Are the entertainment.",

"Andie: Why should I? I mean, it's only gonna upset him, and it's not like anything cataclysmic happened.",
"Joey: Andie, this guy could have hurt you.",
"Andie: You don't know that, Joey, and maybe I overreacted.",
"Joey: Do you think you overreacted?",
"Andie: Well, I didn't cry wolf, if that's what you're saying.",
"Joey: No. That's not what I'm saying.",
"Andie: Then what are you saying?",
"Joey: I have to tell you something.",
"Andie: What?",
"Joey: Rob stopped by my house this morning. He told me his side of the story, and he basically got down on his knees, pleading his innocence.",
"Andie: So that's why you're here. You, of all people, are gonna believe that scum.",
"Joey: I didn't say I believed him.",
"Andie: No? You just stopped by for a friendly little chat.",
"Joey: No. I stopped by to make sure that we were doing the right thing, Andie. Look, I should've reported the guy myself, about his behavior towards me. I mean, maybe I could've prevented this whole thing. I think your water's boiling",
"Andie: Listen, Joey... Maybe all of this happened for a reason. I mean, maybe something good came out of it.",
"Joey: What do you mean?",
"Andie: As of last night, Pacey and I are back together. I can't tell you how happy I am because now everything can just go back to the way it was.",

"Henry: Constance is gonna kill me.",
"Jen: Don't be so sure. Down deep, buried somewhere, I think that she gets it.",
"Henry: Get-gets what?",
"Jen: Homecoming queens, drag queens, what's the difference? They're all just people dressing up, pretending to be something that they're not, playing a role. Come on.",
"Henry: What-- what are we doing?",
"Jen: Dancing, Henry. In hopes of performing a miracle and awakening the dead.",
"[She drags him out onto the floor to dance, eventually more people joining them. Constance see this from her table and we see her tapping her feet to the music.]",

"[Power tool starts]",
"Andie: I come bearing gifts.",
"Pacey: Hey, Andie.",
"Andie: Hey. I thought that, uh, True Love could use a woman's touch. What do you think?",
"Pacey: Well, to tell you the truth, what she could use is a new rudder and a keel.",
"Andie: Ok. Would you settle for a skipper's cap and a pair of my dad's old topsiders?",
"[Pacey puts the hat on.]",
"Andie: Very nice.",
"Pacey: To be honest, I... I'm really starting to wonder whether I'm ever gonna finish her at all.",
"Andie: Why do you say that?",
"Pacey: Well, because sometimes it's harder to rebuild something than it is to just start from scratch.",
"Andie: Why?",
"Pacey: That picture that you have in your mind of the way something was... It's never gonna be that way again.",
"Andie: Yeah, but it could be better.",
"Pacey: Yeah, it could be... Depending on how badly damaged it was in the first place.",
"Andie: How badly damaged was it?",
"Pacey: It was pretty much totaled.",
"Andie: Ok, Pacey, could we please stop beating this metaphor to death, and just talk about what we're actually talking about?",
"Pacey: I made a mistake last night, Andie. We both made a mistake.",
"Andie: What did we do? Nothing.",
"Pacey: All I can tell you is how it made me feel.",
"Andie: How?",
"Pacey: Like I went against what I know is right.",
"Andie: That's funny because today is actually the first day that I felt really happy since I left the hospital.",
"Pacey: It is funny. You know, there used to be a time when you and I were so in sync... In everything that we did. Uh, just connected. Look at us now. We have the opposite reaction to the exact same event.",
"Andie: Pacey, please don't do this. Not now. Don't break up with me.",
"Pacey: I never wanted to break up with you, Andie, never. I mean, all those months... Just waiting, secretly hoping...",
"Andie: You're just... You're just punishing me. That's what this is about. And you just need to stop being angry with me.",
"Pacey: I'm not punishing you, Andie. Punishment implies you did something wrong.",
"Andie: I slept with another guy, 6 months ago. I knew it was wrong when I did it. I keep trying to tell you this and make you understand it. How many times do I have to say it?",
"Pacey: Andie... If you wanted to sleep with him, if even just for a second, then maybe it wasn't wrong. Maybe... It was. Maybe... That was just your heart's way of telling you I'm not the one. 'Cause that's what my heart's telling me right now. It's telling me that you're not the one.",
"Andie: [Sobbing] You don't mean that, Pacey. Pacey, you can't mean that.",
"Pacey: Andie, I'm sorry.",
"Andie: No. Just... Just forget it.",

"Constance: Well, Jennifer, the evening wasn't a total disaster. I will say one this. They sure to know",
"how to dance.",
"Jen: That they do. You know, Miss Freckling, I believe that I owe you an apology.",
"Constance: Whatever for? Besides the obvious, that is.",
"Jen: Well, the truth is that I intended to shock you tonight, but something unexpected happened. For the first time, I was able to see past the cliché, and I actually enjoyed being a homecoming queen.",
"Constance: Which brings us to one small unresolved item. Hank. He adores you, you know.",
"Jen: It's just a crush. It's completely harmless.",
"Constance: It's more than that. He talks about you nonstop. Your presence in his life has awakened him somehow. It's quite special. Though my concern is the sentiment's not mutual.",
"Jen: That would be correct.",
"Constance: I had a beau, once. Heir to a mattress fortune. Beautiful man. I was 17. We courted. He asked me to marry him. I remember it like yesterday. He took off his hat, got down on one knee. It was at his mother's grave site on the anniversary of her death.",
"Jen: What? He proposed to you at a cemetery?",
"Constance: Looking back, I should've run from there screaming, like a woman from a burning house, but...",
"Jen: But you didn't.",
"Constance: No. I didn't. But the wedding never happened anyway. He led me on, Jennifer... Played me for a fool. And then he ran off to California with the girl who'd sold him his Cadillac. But the point is, the heart is a fragile thing. Break it too badly, and it might well never recover.",
"[Scene: Inside Constance's Green House. Henry and Jen are there looking at the flowers.]",
"Henry: She calls it the spotted heart. It's her most sacred blossom. Took her over 15 years to breed it correctly.",

"Jen: It counts for us becoming friends.",
"Henry: Jen, I'm... I--I think I'm in love with you.",
"Jen: [Chuckles] Henry, you're not in love with me.",
"Henry: You can't say that. How do you know what I feel?",
"Jen: You don't even know me. How could you possibly be in love with me?",
"Henry: Because I just-- I am.",
"Jen: I wish it was that simple.",
"Henry: It is that simple. If it's our age you're worried about, we're not even 2 years apart. It's nothing.",
"Jen: Right now, it's everything, Henry. Do you know how much is gonna happen to you in the next 2 years, if you do them right? Your heart is gonna swell and break a hundred times before you turn 16.",
"Henry: How does that make me any less ready for you now? I can still care about you more than anyone ever has.",
"Jen: No offense, but that's not saying much.",
"Henry: Then give me a shot. What do you have to lose?",
"Jen: Listen, Henry, what you need right now is somebody who cannot only understand what you're going through, but who can also go through it with you. Believe me, everything that you haven't done, I have.",
"Henry: Except fall in love? You haven't done that. Or else you'd have someone. But you don't. Which leads me to believe that everything you think you know about love is questionable. And as long as it is, you can't tell me I'm not the one for you.",
"Jen: Henry, what you need to know about me... And it's something that I'm just beginning to understand, is that until I can look at myself without judgment or condemnation, I'm not ready for anyone. Let alone you.",
"Henry: You know what you just said... About my heart breaking a hundred times? Well, there goes number one.",
"[Scene: inside Constance's House. Dawson and Gail are talking to each other.]]",
"Dawson: I'm just sorry you didn't feel you could tell me.",
"Gail: How does a mother tell a son, whom she's supposed to be teaching to dream, that she failed at her own?",
"Dawson: Mom. First of all, you didn't fail. And second of all, you don't look old. You look great.",
"Gail: Thank you, honey.",
"Dawson: Now, as for coming home...",
"Gail: Sweetheart, I had my reasons why I don't want to race back to Capeside.",
"Dawson: Right. And that's between you and dad, and I don't want to get in the middle. But...",
"Gail: But you think that I should talk to him, don't you?",
"Dawson: I just think you could use a friend like him right now.",
"Gail: It's not that easy, Dawson. There's way too much history there.",
"Dawson: But there's no law saying that you can't, you know, lean on him a little. Tell him the truth. What's the worst that could happen?",
"Gail: He could help me. We could become friends again.",
"Dawson: Hah. God help us.",
"[Scene: Outside Joey's House. Joey and Andie are talking on the porch.]",

"Andie: Oh, and you have such deep feelings for me that you went straight to Pacey and sabotaged everything.",
"Joey: Pacey? I haven't even talked to Pacey since you guys dropped me off.",
"Andie: You expect me to believe that?",
"Joey: Well, it's the truth.",
"Andie: Oh, ok. So it's just a coincidence that one minute we're together and the next he never wants to see me again?",
"Joey: When did this happen?",
"Andie: Tonight. An hour ago. Right after you went and told him that I made up the entire story about rob just to get him back.",
"Joey: Look. Ok, Andie, I admit it did cross my mind. But I didn't believe it, not for a minute.",
"Andie: Is that right?",
"Joey: Look, I know you. I... I know that you're a good person. You-- you would never do anything so hurtful and plainly wrong.",
"[Andie walks away from her to the other side of the porch]",
"Joey: What? What did I say?",
"Andie: Nothing.",
"Joey: You can tell me, Andie.",
"Andie: Look, you don't know me, Joey, ok? You don't know what I'm capable of when I set my sights on something.",
"Joey: Andie, you're a stubborn and determined person. There's nothing wrong with that.",
"Andie: No! It's more. It's like I've got blinders on. And all I can see is what's right in front of me. What I'm after, and everything on the edges just gets blocked out somehow.",

"Andie: I'm talking about Pacey. I love him, and I need him. And the truth is... I don't know what the truth is anymore.",

"Joey: It's ok.",

"In an effort to add excitement to a dull school project, Dawson decides to make a documentary, enlisting the help of Joey, Pacey and Jen. The group head to a small island near Capeside, rumoured to be haunted by the ghosts of some 17th-century girls, killed after being accused of witchcraft. Joey finds similarities between her own life and that of one of the dead girls which provokes some deep reflections on her strained relationship with Dawson. After some exploratory conversations, Jen and Pacey make the decision to become more than just good friends, albeit on a casual basis. Back at school, Andie gets a little too involved with her role as head of the school disciplinary committee. When Dawson screens his documentary for his class, Joey is forced to again question her opinions about love and happiness."

"Escape From Witch Island #307",
"(Dawson is working at the video store when suddenly Joey shows up.)",
"Dawson: Joey, hey.",
"Joey: Dawson, please tell me you have 'The Crucibles'.",
"Dawson: Belinda checked it out, about an hour ago.",
"Joey: Oh. Well, serves me right, I guess, for being that girl.",
"Dawson: What girl?",
"Joey: The girl who rents the movie the night before an all important paper is due, because her debilitating attention deficit disorder has gotten in the way of her actually reading the book.",
"Dawson: Since when are you that girl?",
"Joey: Well, between taking care of baby Alexander and getting the B&B up and running, I haven't had a whole lot of time for that pesky endeavor known as school.",
"Dawson: B&B? I thought you worked at the Marina? What happened?",
"Joey: That's a long and exceedingly soapy story, Dawson. So, what's up with you? Eve help you add anymore crimes and misdemeanors to your record?",
"Dawson: Eve left town, actually. (an awkward pause)",
"Joey: Well, thanks a lot Dawson. I guess I'll see you around school. I'll be the one cloaked in failure.",
"Dawson: Hold on, you know what, Joey? What if I told you you didn't have to do the paper?",
"Joey: I'm listening.",
"Dawson: After we got the assignment I went up to Green and said 'Look, you really want the standard 5-pages of footnotes and cribbed encyclopedia passages chronically the Salem Witch trials, or",
"Joey: Let me guess, you, uh, sold him on the idea of making a movie instead? Classic Dawson Leery.",
"Dawson: Here's the best part. Jen and Pacey are also excused from doing the paper as long as they (missed the word).",
"Joey: I guess my invitation got lost in the mail.",
"Dawson: I would have invited you",
"Joey: Forget about it. So what's it about? Your movie.",
"Dawson: Well, umm, since we're reading The Crucibles, we're studying the Salem Witch trials, I figured why not do a documentary on something that happened right in your back yard. Witch Island.",
"Joey: So basically, you're ripping off the Blair Witch Project.",
"Dawson: I am insulted. I am making a real documentary. I want to try and use the myth of Witch Island to tell a larger story about hypocrisy (missed the world) and persecution. So, are you in?",
"Joey: Well, you know, I could blow off the paper, I'd probably fail the class, and if I failed the class, well, that could be the beginning of a long and tragic downward spiral that dooms me to wait the tables of Capeside's greasy spoons for eternity. So, count me in.",
"(credits)",
"Green: In the year 1692, 13 young women, well, teenage girls really, were banished to a small island off the New England coast, because they were suspected of practicing witch craft. One night, a year later, a fire raged out of control, killing them all.",
"Mitch: Hands down, the best high school make-out place ever.",
"Gail: I think that's where your father and I made love for the first time.",
"Dawson: God, mom",
"Gail: Honey, are you okay?",
"Jen: I gotta say, Blair Witch didn't do it for me. I wasn't remotely scared, that girl was irritating me, and I had to run to the snack bar in dire need of Dramamine.",
"Joey: I was scared.",
"Pacey: That's no surprise there, Potter. After all, you are quite the skittish kitten.",
"Dawson: I thought Blair Witch was groundbreaking. Hollywood laid to waste by a couple guys with a camcorder? How cool is that.",
"Pacey: Frankly, I think my father makes scarier movies with his home video camera. You guys want scary? Check out the Whitter family Christmas Project. Guaranteed to make your teeth chatter.",
"Jen: You know, before we're off to see the witch, I would like to apply that there are no such thing as witches. I say witches is just a buzz word for a girl who happens to follow her completely healthy, totally natural urges, and explore her sexuality. But see, you can't do that in swinging 1690, without getting the good towns folk all up in arms. So what do these puritanical, impotent creeps do instead of reaching for the Viagra? They brand these girls as witches, they send them off to some God forsaken island to die a horrible, solitary death.",
"Joey: Well, lucky for you, Jen, I mean, we live in a world where you can follow your natural urges without fear of persecution.",
"Jen: You're right. I would have been so burned at the stake by now.",
"Dawson: Okay, I think it's time to set up some interviews. Umm, Joey, lend me a hand?",
"Joey: Sure.",
"Dawson: And you guys rustle up some interviewees.",
"Pacey: Yavolay(don't ask me what this means!) director! Have fun kids! Doesn't that just warm your heart? Kevin and Winny taking those first tentative steps back to The Wonder Years.",
"Jen: Actually, it just makes me glad that you and I had the forethought not to hook up.",
"Pacey: Amen, sister Christian.",
"Jen: Why is that do you think?",
"Pacey: Well, if you look at the clinical research, you'll find that the smart ass sidekick, he never gets the girl.",
"Jen: Oh!",
"Pacey: Now the real reason there was never a you and me, Lindley, is because you and me, we don't need anything from each other.",
"Jen: I'm sorry, I left my decoder ring back in the cereal box.",
"Pacey: You see, you as the girl who's wanton ways had her banished to the boonies, you needed the affection of the unblemished, small town, pure heart to validate you in your oh so vulnerable time. Right?",
"Jen: Yeah.",
"Pacey: Me, the suprarenal black sheep of the Whitter crew, I guess I just need the love and affection of a woman who's drive and devotion would shame me to the core that it would force me to get in touch with the, I don't know, shall we call it my inner achiever? You and me, we're different. We're on a level playing field.",
"Jen: And I thought that Dawson was good at deconstruction.",
"(Elsewhere)",
"Andie: Ahh, Principle Green, do you have a moment?",
"Green: Now's not the best time",
"Andie: I just want to let you know that I take my appointment to the head of the disciplinary committee with the utmost seriousness and I am determined not to lose your trust.",
"Green: That's some earnest attitude. Now if you'll excuse me",
"Andie: Oh, I just want to let you know that the last few weeks have been tumultuous to say the least, but I am please to report that I have my priorities in order.",
"Green: Good, I'm glad to hear that. So why don't you check with me later",
"Andie: I'd like to run by a few ideas if that's alright.",
"Green: (giving in) Come on.",
"Andie: Excellent. Okay, I've read the rules of conduct",
"(Outside school, Joey and Dawson set up the camcorder for interviews)",
"Dawson: I can't tell you how much I miss this, Joey.",
"Joey: Me too.",
"Dawson: I feel lucky.",
"Joey: So do I.",
"Dawson: You know, like I've been able to recapture a feeling that I lost somewhere along the way.",
"Joey: I know what you mean",
"Dawson: I mean, granted, you know, it's only for a school project, but it's good to be making movies again.",
"Joey: I thought you were talking about us, you and me.",
"Dawson: That too, obviously. You know, I miss the whole, lets make a movie bug thing we had before things got so terminally angsted. You know, I'm really glad we're friends again.",
"Joey: Friends.",
"(Interviewing Grams)",
"Grams: 300 years ago, harlots who were practicing witch craft were banished to that island. And what happened there has proved positive that the good Lord doesn't take lightly to those who dabble in the black (missed word).",
"Bessie: One time in high school, this guy disappeared there. He was a big stoner. One of those guys who have Led Zepplin's \"Four\" playing in his head at all times. So everyone said he probably got wasted and drowned. I don't know. Some people say the witches got him.",
"Student: Yeah, well kids just mysteriously disappear there over the years and they say it's the witches or whatever. But I think the CIA or the NSA had something to do with it. It's just like our government to come up with some occult back story to cover up their male thesis.",
"(Pacey, Joey, Dawson and Jen are walking to the dock where they catch the boat to Witch Island)",
"Pacey: Nobody bought snacks? Come on, guys! What is a field trip without the snacks? Nobody bought the Doritos? The Ho-Ho's? (missed word) for a Coke wrapped in tin foil.",
"Man: It's the Dawson Leery party, right?",
"Dawson: Present and accounted for. Mind if I ask you a couple of questions? I'm making a movie.",
"Man: Only if you return the favor (pulls a camcorder out of his bag and starts filming Dawson). Alright. So, umm, what is your movie about?",
"Dawson: (a little weirded out) I'm making a documentary on Witch Island. What's your movie about?",
"Man: I'm making a documentary about all of the people making a documentary about Witch Island. Ever since Blair Witch hit, every geek with a camcorder and a dream has been out here, so. A little luck and this baby will get me on the festival circuit, right?",
"Dawson: Yeah What can you tell me about Witch Island?",
"Man: You kids think it's all spooky fun and kissy cool and all that, but don't get so caught up in your Scooby Doo adventure that you get stuck out there past dark.",
"Jen: Oh, come on, we don't scare that easy.",
"Man: She calling me a liar? You calling me a liar, is that what you're saying, huh? Listen, girls died out there, you don't think they're not a little ticked off about what happened out there all those years ago? You think they're above taking their anger out on a teenie bopper or two, everyone once in a full moon? Huh? These girls, sometimes they can't control their natural urges. Alright, all aboard, let's go.",
"(At the island, exiting the boat)",
"Wendy: Hey guys! Welcome to Witch Island. I am Wendy Dowlripple of the Capeside historical society and I'm here to answer any questions that you may have about Witch Island. Which, I'm ashamed to say, represents a particularly dark period in our nation's history.",
"Jen: Oh, dear God.",
"Pacey: Uhh, you wouldn't happen to have a snack bar or anything up here, would you? Cause I'm famished, and Cameron over there decided to cancel the 7-11 run before we got on board.",
"Wendy: You'll find some refreshments in our gift shop, young man. Along with a lovely selection of our witch themed souvenirs.",
"Jen: Ooh, I like souvenirs.",
"Wendy: Making a little movie, are we?",
"Joey: He's ripping off The Blair Witch Project.",
"Wendy: Seen it. Come with me. I'll take you to the cemetery. Goes over real well with you film maker types. Got a lot of atmosphere.",
"Dawson: Hey, Joey? You realize the Blair Witch was fake, right? Where as my documentary is real.",
"(Jen and Pacey in the gift shop)",
"Jen: Pacey, check this out. (reading out of a spell book) That wicked crush got you down? Do you stare at him for hours without getting so much as a glance in return? Do you ever call and hang up? Riffle through his garbage? Has the thought of disfiguring his girlfriend ever crossed your mind? Stalk no more, ladies with the handy dandy incantation that will turn the object of your affections into a love sick puppy dog.",
"Pacey: Dream on, Lindley.",
"Jen: What, you don't think it will work?",
"Pacey: Well, not to be a naysayer No, actually, to be a naysayer, my belief in the power of spells is somewhere up there with my belief in the validity of sea monkeys.",
"Jen: I'm gonna try it.",
"Pacey: Really? On whom?",
"Jen: You.",
"Pacey: Me?",
"Jen: Who better? You're not attracted to me in the slightest.",
"Pacey: Not in the least.",
"Jen: Ouch.",
"Pacey: No, no, no, I didn't mean it like that. You are certainly quite the oeuvre vixen and I am nothing if not fond of you, but you're just not my type.",
"Jen: Right back at you, man.",
"Pacey: I'm brooding and cumuli.",
"Jen: I'm sure you score way high on some girls' cute-o-meter, Pacey, just not mine.",
"Pacey: I'm a better catch than Ty the bible beater or that skirt chasing Neanderthal Chris Wolfe.> Jen: This coming from a guy who's past two relationships have ended with the girl either leaving town to avoid prosecution or cool out in crazy camp for the summer.",
"Pacey: Ouch.",
"(Dawson and Joey out at the cemetery with Wendy)",
"Joey: There's only 12.",
"Dawson: What?",
"Joey: Well, there was 13 witches, Dawson. 13 girls were sent here and there are only 12 graves.",
"Wendy: Smart girl. Nobody ever picks up on that. Her name was Mary Waldeck.",
"Dawson: What happened to her?",
"Wendy: Her body was never found. No one knows for sure what happened but there are two distinct schools of thought. Those who like a good ghost story, well they believe she really was a witch and she haunts the island to this day. But, for those romantics out there, they believe that her lover came and took her away from this awful place.",
"Joey: Her lover?",
"Wendy: Yeah. I'll give you the Cliff's Notes. Mary's an orphan. She's taken in by a family named the Bennett's, and raised along their own son, William. William and Mary got along famously. So much, so in fact, that in time, they fell in love.",
"Dawson: Uh oh.",
"Wendy: One night, Mary and William were found in bed together. This did not go over well with the God fearing Bennett's. And in a blink of an eye, Mary was no longer their daughter. She was a witch.",
"Joey: How horrible.",
"Wendy: Can you imagine what this poor girl had to go through? This is a young girl no older than you, put on trial, banished to some God forsaken island for crimes that she didn't even understand, much less, commit. She was separated from the love of her life. I think that that's what makes this island such a charged place. Cause, if you've ever loved somebody that you couldn't be with, you can feel it in the air. Sadness, longing, the uncertainty.",
"Joey: Are you taking this down, Dawson?",
"Dawson: What do you mean?",
"Joey: Soul-mates torn apart by circumstances beyond their control. Doomed to wonder what might have been. There's your movie.",
"Dawson: What about the fire? Where did that happen?",
"Wendy: Through the woods, at the church.",
"Dawson: Can you take us there, I'd love to get some footage.",
"Wendy: No, because I never, ever go into the woods. And if you kids are smart, you won't either. But if you do decide to go, we have some maps inside the gift shop.",
"(Jen and Pacey back at the gift shop. Jen is mixing her potion.)",
"Jen: Lights low and feet on the floor. Chant these words to make him yours. Darsabaloof, demoteefca, demoteeva, rennachicka, bleeth. (She drinks some of the brew) Your turn.",
"Pacey: Excuse me? I'm sorry, it sounded like you said something about me consuming that God awful muck.",
"Jen: Says right here that both myself and the object of my affections must ingest of the potion in order for the spell to work.",
"Pacey: No, no, no, no, no",
"Jen: Please? Pretty, pretty, pretty please? You don't have to swallow the precious (missed word).",
"Pacey: Fine. Fine, but Lindley, pay back is gonna be a bitch (Pacey drinks).",
"Jen: How do you feel?",
"Pacey: Nice and fresh.",
"Wendy: What is going on in here?",
"Jen: Just a couple of crazy kids practicing a little bit of black magic.",
"Wendy: You shouldn't mess with things that you don't understand. (Handing Dawson a map) Here, this will take you through the woods and to the church. And, oh yeah, don't get lost because it's very dark, it's very dangerous, and there's a slim chance that you will never bee seen or heard from ever again. Kay?",
"Jen: Take that Mary Waldeck girl, for example. Was she a witch? I think not. Sounds like she just had a bad case of the warm and fuzzies.",
"Joey: It's too heartbreaking for words.",
"Dawson: I couldn't disagree more.",
"Joey: How do you figure?",
"Dawson: It clearly illustrates how love can thrive even in the worst of circumstances.",
"Joey: Yeah, and look what happened to her.",
"Dawson: Nobody knows what happened to her.",
"Joey: Well, I think it's safe to assume that Mary died a very sad and lonely death. Separated from the one boy she ever loved.",
"Dawson: You know, I don't buy that. If people are truly, madly, deeply in love, they're figure out a way to be with each other.",
"Joey: They were young, they were split up for a long time. Maybe he forgot about her. Maybe he met someone else.",
"Dawson: If he did meet somebody else and forgot about her, than obviously they were never meant to be together in the first place. See my point?",
"Joey: Could you be any more naïve?",
"Dawson: Could you be any more cynical?",
"Jen: Could you be any more irritating? Heads up, guys, we're here.",
"Pacey: What do you think the chances are that they got a men's room in there. I think I went a little heavy on the witches' brew.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"(Back at Capeside High. Andie is roaming the halls, busting people.)",
"Andie: Spaghetti straps and opened toed shoes? Not on my watch. (gives a slip to the girl. To a guy at his locker) Inappropriate display of the female form (nudie pics in the locker) Statue 97.1 - offensive and disgusting. (Hands him a slip. To a hippie type guy) Excuse me, in case you didn't know, Elvis has most definitely left the building, and in his absence, there will be no sideburns creeping past the earlobes. Rules of conduct, baby. Read 'em, learn 'em, live 'em. (Hands him a slip. Belinda notices Andie working the student body over)",
"(Back at the church)",
"Dawson: Listen to this, the towns people built the church because they thought it would help the girls find God. Sent a minister over every Sunday but the girls would tease him so mercilessly that he eventually gave up and stopped coming.",
"Jen: I could hang with those girls. (starting to leave the church) I wonder if Pacey loves me yet.",
"Joey: They were murdered.",
"Dawson: Beg your pardon?",
"Joey: It says here that a group of men from the main land treated the island like their own personal brothel. When word got out, the bible thumpers got together and decided enough was enough and an angry mob came, crowded the girls into this church and set it on fire.",
"Dawson: And that's when William must have run off with Mary.",
"Joey: Hold on, Romeo. Why are you reading into this all of a sudden? How do you know that William didn't light the torch?",
"Dawson: I don't know, maybe because he loved her.",
"Joey: How do you know he was such the enlightened male, Dawson? I mean, if the whole town thinks your girlfriend is a witch, maybe it's just easier to go with the flow.",
"Dawson: That's not the story I'm interested in telling.",
"Joey: Well, the good documentarian looks at the story from all possible angels, Dawson. Not just from the perspective of his (missed word) and annoying world view.",
"Jen: (coming back inside the church) Has Pacey shown up yet?",
"Joey: Not since he went in search of a perfect tree.",
"Dawson: We gotta get back, it's starting to get dark.",
"Jen: You know, I'll go find him. You two go back to that boat guy and make sure he doesn't leave without us, and we'll meet you back at the docks.",
"(Dawson and Joey walking back to the docks)",
"Dawson: Joey, why does my optimism have you so irked?",
"Joey: That's not what's irking me, Dawson.",
"Dawson: What is it?",
"Joey: What's going on with us?",
"Dawson: God, Joey, this is not the time, or the place to run an exhausted dissertation on the state of our relationship.",
"Joey: Right, you know, we should just stand back and watch it crumble around us. We'll deal with it later when it's more convenient.",
"Dawson: Joey, we're friends, why can't we just leave it at that?",
"Joey: Friends",
"Dawson: Yeah, you take away everything else that we are, and it's what we are. We're friends.",
"Joey: Dawson, you can't just will a friendship into existence.",
"Dawson: You know, I give up. For the first time in my life I have no idea what you're talking about.",
"Joey: Of course you don't.",
"Dawson: Well, explain yourself.",
"Joey: Dawson, what exactly do you know about my life these days? I mean, think about it. Do you know how I lost my job? How I did on the PSAT's. How the Potter sisters are eating out their meager living? And you know, I don't know a thing about your life, either.",
"Dawson: Joey, I'm sorry if I've been distant I thought that's what we needed.",
"Joey: You know what? The last year of my life has been this wide awake nightmare of conflicting emotions. And no matter how bad it got there was always one thing that kept me going. That was us. Our bond, our connection, whatever you want to call it. It made me feel like I wasn't alone, that I was part of something special. So, I'm not standing here whining about being friends or not being friends. It's just for the first time in my life, I'm not feeling that connection, Dawson. And it scares me. Wait!",
"(They hear the boat starting, and rush to the dock)",
"Man: There you are. Great. Get in, let's go.",
"Joey: No, we can't leave yet. We got split up from our friends.",
"Man: Stupid, stupid, stupid. Didn't I warn you guys about getting stuck out here past dark? I'm pretty sure that I did.",
"Dawson: They'll be here any minute.",
"Man: No, uh uh. No way, I'm not staying. Weird things happen out here at night. So, you can come with me now, or I can come back in the morning and find out if you're still alive.",
"Dawson: We're not gonna leaving without our friends.",
"Man: Fine. I warned you guys. I told you. Whatever you do, don't go in the woods.",
"(Man pulls away, leaving Joey and Dawson on the docks. After nightfall, Jen and Pacey still haven't found Dawson and Joey. They walk through the woods with a flashlight.)",
"Jen: So, do you feel anything yet?",
"Pacey: Feel what exactly?",
"Jen: The spell.",
"Pacey: Yeah. I actually am starting to feel something. I think I'm starting to feel a little lost. That's what it is, lost.",
"Jen: Yeah, I know. This, I gotta say. The idea of a wholesome biblically themed meal this evening with Grams, isn't sounding too gosh darn unappealing. I'd even consider saying 'Grace', but instead, I am traipsing around some haunted forest with the likes of you.",
"Pacey: Why am I always the bad guy? Huh? Do I deserve this? I don't think so. What is it about me that inspires vitriolic diatribes? Take Andie for example. She goes away for the summer and sleeps with a mental patient. So I break up with her for conduct unbecoming a girlfriend, something that I think I was pretty justified doing, and yet somehow, she manages to turn it around so I feel like a creep at the end of the day. How does that happen?",
"Jen: What, you think you're the creep? Just wait until some sweet, innocent freshman gets a crush on you, and you accidentally on purpose break his smitten little heart, thus derailing his (missed word) love life forever.",
"Pacey: You know, love has this horrible habit of always messing things up.",
"Jen: That it does.",
"Pacey: But s*x is nice.",
"Jen: Yes it is.",
"Pacey: Yes it is. s*x good, love bad. You toss it into the wok, it messes the whole thing up.",
"Jen: This is true.",
"Pacey: I'm starting to think that maybe casual s*x is the way to go.",
"Jen: But s*x is never casual, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Perhaps. But what if both partners agreed to the terms beforehand?",
"Jen: Like a prenup?",
"Pacey: Yes, exactly. Like a pre-getting busy agreement. I'm just thinking out loud here, but the concept of two horny teenagers coming together for some gleefully nasty coitus and parting as friends is positively revolutionary in this day and age.",
"Jen: Sounds killer in theory.",
"Pacey: No guilt",
"Jen: No shame",
"Pacey: No head games",
"Jen: No bad mixed tapes.",
"Pacey: Yeah, I hate those. You know, this may be the witches brew talking, but you are starting to look all kinds of cute.",
"(Dawson and Joey are back in the gift shop, looking through some books and things)",
"Joey: (reading from Mary's journal) Another day goes by without word from William. It's been but a few weeks time since I arrived on the island and yet it feels like an eternity. This time apart has me wondering if our bond was but an illusion.",
"Dawson: Is that what you think, Joey? That our relationship was some slide of hand magic trick made to fill up some hole in your life?",
"Joey: Look, I didn't say that, Dawson. Don't put words into my mouth.",
"Dawson: I don't have to.",
"Joey: Dawson, don't you ever wonder, you know, where this is going? Where we are exactly? I mean, is this just the first act, or has our story ended and we're just too stupid to realize it?",
"Dawson: Why do we have to figure that out all right now? What's wrong with just living in the present for once?",
"Joey: Because the present sucks, Dawson! I mean, excuse me for thinking back and looking forward, but I'm just trying to make sense of what's happening to us.",
"Dawson: Joey, you yourself once told me that some love stories never end. What happened to that girl?",
"Joey: She offered herself to the boy she loved - the boy she thought loved her back. And he rejected her.",
"Dawson: Joey, listen to me. If we are truly meant to be, than we will find a way back to each other. It's as simple as that.",
"Joey: You so sure about that, Dawson? (reading from the journal) I fill my days with memories. I remember how he used to look at me. Like I was his most valuable treasure. Has he found a new treasure? I can't help but wonder if we'll be able to find our way back to each other. The road before us seems so very long and my head is clouded with such dark thoughts. I feel our bond grows weaker by the day and I'm powerless to stop it.",
"(They hear a bell ringing in the distance)",
"Dawson: That's probably them.",
"(They gather their stuff and rush out - to the church, Pacey and Jen wait inside.)",
"Pacey: Hey. You rang?",
"Dawson: We thought you guys rang.",
"Jen: We didn't rang.",
"Joey: Well, somebody rang.",
"Pacey: Well, this is mighty peculiar people.",
"Dawson: What?",
"Pacey: There's no bell.",
"Joey: Okay, I'm now sufficiently wigged.",
"Jen: How goes the 17th Century soap?",
"Joey: She just got a letter from William.",
"Jen: Do tell.",
"Joey: November 10th, 1693.",
"Jen: That's today.",
"Joey: That's also the anniversary of the fire. (reading from the journal) A letter today from my beloved William. He has made me so happy. He says he's coming tonight to take me away from this God forsaken place. Yet I am scared. He says there are those in town who feel we should be punished further for our crimes. (she stops reading) That's the last entry.",
"Jen: So, you think he came back for her?",
"Joey: Nah. He probably played her for a fool and took up with some well breed hussy from the mainland.",
"Jen: Come on, Joey. Hop on the happy train. Sounds to me like those two were madly in love.",
"Joey: You know, I hate to be one of those girls who mistakes pop lyrics for profound thoughts, but sometimes, love just isn't enough.",
"Jen: And I hate to be the one to bust this whole subtextial bubble that you're living in, but do me a favor, Joey. Don't let someone else's love life dictate your own.",
"(Pacey and Dawson sit alone talking)",
"Pacey: You're not filming anymore, hombre?",
"Dawson: Not feeling particularly visionary at the moment. Let me ask you something, Pacey? Do you think I made a mistake?",
"Pacey: Where?",
"Dawson: Telling Joey we needed some time apart.",
"Pacey: Do you think you made a mistake?",
"Dawson: Not at first, but I look at her now and see how far apart we drifted. I don't know. What if I was wrong? What if we don't end up together, and it's all my fault.",
"Pacey: You wanna know what I see when I look at you, Dawson? For better or worse, I see a guy who consistently wears his heart on his sleeve. So no matter how harsh it may seem in retrospect, when you decided to put some distance between yourself and Joey, I know all you were doing was just following your heart. And with that in mind, I really don't think it's possible for you to have made a mistake.",
"(Dawson is sleeping, and Pacey and Jen are alone behind some pews.)",
"Jen: So, do you honestly think we can pull this one off?",
"Pacey: I don't see why not.",
"Jen: You don't have any feelings for me, right?",
"Pacey: None whatsoever. No offense, of course.",
"Jen: None taken of course.",
"Pacey: You for me? Feelings?",
"Jen: Hardly even think about you.",
"Pacey: You gotta love that.",
"Jen: So, what do we do now?",
"Pacey: Should I take my pants off?",
"Jen: Maybe we should kiss first?",
"Pacey: Yeah, that's a good idea.",
"(They start to kiss, but Jen stops)",
"Jen: Is this the spell?",
"Pacey: I don't know. I don't care! All I know is in November of 1999, 4 hyper-verbal teenagers running off into the woods on a witch hunt to film some ridiculous documentary for history class, and eight hours later, (whispering) two of them start making out.",
"(They start to kiss again)",
"Pacey: That was",
"Jen: Weird.",
"Pacey: Yeah. Let's try again.",
"(They kiss some more)",
"Pacey: How bout that one? Weird?",
"Jen: (whispering) Not so much",
"(They continue kissing. Suddenly they hearing screaming and shouting from outside. Fire is shooting in through the windows. Pacey pulls Jen to her feet, and Dawson and Joey run toward them. The people outside yelling continues. The four try to push the door open, but to no avail. Suddenly the fire and noise stops. Joey tries the door again, and it casually opens. They run outside.)",
"Jen: Can we just go home now?",
"Joey: Look, I don't care if we have to swim home, let's just get the hell out of here.",
"Dawson: There's got to be a logical explanation for all this.",
"Pacey: Okay, why don't you send us a postcard, Spock, cause I for one am not sticking around to find out.",
"(The four run through the forest to the dock. When they get there, they see the boat and board it)",
"Joey: Hey, the boat's there.",
"Pacey: Get in, get in, get in!",
"Jen: Go, go, go!",
"(The scene splits to a TV-screen, where Dawson is showing the film in class.)",
"Dawson: But honestly, I had envisioned a much more straightforward documentary of the history of witch island, but I was surprised by what I found there. A love story. Pure and simple. Two soul mates torn apart by the social climate of their time. And though what happened to us on the island is certainly open to your own interpretation, there's no disputing the fact that the island embodies the emotional turmoil of a girl who didn't know what the future held for her and the boy she loved.",
"Green: It's nice work, Mr. Leery. A tad derivative in the wake of the whole Blair Witch phenomenon but inspired work none the less. I particularly liked the part that .",
"Girl: Wait, what's that all about? (Pointing to the screen)",
"Dawson: What?",
"Girl: It looks like two people standing on the dock, watching you go. See, look close? (Dawson rewinds the tape and pauses it, two distinct figures are now shown standing on the dock as they drive the boat away. Dawson gives Joey a look. Jen looks at Pacey. The rest of the class notice it also, and have an odd look on their faces)",
"Boy: (Walking in from the hall) Principle Green, we have a situation here. (Green walks out with him, and into a classroom filled with people in line at a table. Andie and Belinda are there, giving detention to the hordes of people in line)",
"Andie: and making a filthy mess in the library. One week's detention. Next!",
"Green: Miss McPhee? You care to explain what's going on here?",
"Andie: Principle Green, I took your advice and ran with it. I've teamed up with Belinda and we've taken the first steps towards improving the quality of life at Capeside.",
"Green: What could all of these students have possibly done wrong?",
"Andie: Each and every one of them was in direct violation of the rules of conduct.",
"Green: The rules of conduct were prepared in 1957. Of course they're gonna be in violation. Now after you've dismissed these students, I'd like you to stop by my office.",
"(Andie looks embarrassed. Green leaves. Later, Jen goes to the video store, and wakes Pacey, who is suppose to be working.)",
"Jen: So, when are we gonna talk about it?",
"Pacey: Talk about what exactly?",
"Jen: What happened out there.",
"Pacey: What DID happen out there, Lindley?",
"Jen: I don't have any idea. But, I would just prefer that didn't get in the way of our experiment.",
"Pacey: Perhaps we should take the shadowy, ill explained events of our brief sojourn in the woods as something of an omen.",
"Jen: No.",
"Pacey: No?",
"Jen: If nothing else, that gooey little mellow drama only proves that love just mucks everything up.",
"Pacey: So then, you're thinking would be that we should still have s*x?",
"Jen: Yes.",
"Pacey: Well, alright then. Okay. (pause) Did you want to do it right now?",
"Jen: Umm, do you?",
"Pacey: I'm kinda tired, actually.",
"Jen: Oh, fine. Roswell's on in five minutes anyway. You just let me know when you want to do it and I'll do it.",
"Pacey: Okay, so let me get this straight If I'm ever in the need of a release, you're just gonna help me out.",
"Jen: Exactly. But keep in mind, it's a two way street.",
"Pacey: Of course. Well that sounds fantastic. It does. Should we, I don't know, should we kiss on it?",
"Jen: No.",
"Pacey: No!",
"Jen: No, kissing is intimate, and we're not about intimacy.",
"Pacey: Perhaps we should just shake on it then. (they shake hands) It's good seeing ya!",
"(Cut to Dawson's room, Joey is sitting with him, looking at the still frame of the 2 silhouettes on the dock.)",
"Joey: I mean, who else could it be other than Wendy and that boat guy. I mean, he's a guy, she's a girl, they both have access to the island. They left the boat out there for us, I mean, it's the only possible explanation.",
"Dawson: Only possible explanation?",
"Joey: Let's hear your version.",
"Dawson: Okay. The girl is Mary Waldeck and the guy is William Bennett. Look at those clothes. I mean, that hat is 17th century clothes if I've ever seen them.",
"Joey: I think the crack habit is definitely come between you and your cognitive powers, Dawson. Obviously Wendy and the boat guy were screwing with us the whole time.",
"Dawson: Skeptic.",
"Joey: Sucker.",
"Dawson: Cynic.",
"Joey: Gullible.",
"Dawson: I don't know, maybe you're right. Maybe we've seen the world according to Dawson one too many times. Maybe we should just sit back in a movie theater out of the harsh light of day.",
"Joey: I don't know, Dawson. Maybe you were right. Maybe William and Mary found their way back to each other after all.",
"Dawson: You think?",
"Joey: It's just a thought.",
"Dawson: Joey, I want to apologize.",
"Joey: For what?",
"Dawson: For taking our friendship for granted. I was wrong to think that we could just pick up right where we left off.",
"Joey: Well, it's not entirely your fault, Dawson. I mean look at us. We've spent years intellectualizing every little feeling and it doesn't count for anything. All that matter is, what we do. You know, how we take care of each other, so, let's not talk this to death. Let's take it slow and check in with each other every once in awhile.",
"Dawson: That sounds immensely doable.",
"Joey: Good. I think this is one X-File we're never gonna close.",
"Dawson: Not unless we go back.",
"Joey: No.",
"Dawson. Come on, Joey. A sequel?",
"Joey: Let's just see how this one opens first.",
"Dawson: By the way, how did you do on your PSAT's?",
"Joey: Brilliantly."

"When Jen's mother, Helen, unexpectedly arrives in Capeside to spend Thanksgiving with her mother and daughter, Dawson tells her what he knows about Eve and this clearly flusters Helen, who asks him not to tell Jen. A poignant speech at the dinner table forces Helen to think again, and she eventually tells Jen that she has a half-sister. Upset and confused by her mother's confession, Jen attempts to change her relationship with Pacey to the more physical, but finds comfort in another unexpected way. Mitch and Gail reveal that their divorce has become final."

"[Scene: Inside the local store. Jen and Pacey are shopping for items for the Thanksgiving dinner.]",
"Jen: Uh, don't let me forget to get the creamed onions, either.",
"Pacey: Oh, no. Mm-mmm.",
"Jen: What's the matter? You don't like creamed onions?",
"Pacey: No, man, they creep me out. I'm being dead serious here, too. Just the thought of 'em makes me sick to my stomach.",
"Jen: Ok, Pacey, how about this? I promise to keep all offending vegetables out of your line of sight at all times. Good?",
"Pacey: You know, Jen, when I suggested that we hook up today, this is not exactly what I had in mind.",
"Jen: Believe me, Pacey, I know, but unfortunately, Grams' Thanksgiving feast Takes precedence over our burgeoning s*x life.",
"Pacey: Correct me if I'm wrong, but we don't actually have a s*x life yet, do we?",
"Jen: What, and you think that that's my fault?",
"Pacey: Uh...Yeah. I do actually think that that's your fault.",
"Jen: I'm sorry, Pacey I just find it difficult to... To watch you paw at me with... [Laughs]",
"Pacey: Foreplay is no laughing matter. How do you expect a guy to do his best work in the face of scorn and derision?",
"Jen: It's just that we're friends...Right? And seeing as how we are friends, but now we're friends that... Do that, um... It's just gonna take a lit le time getting used to. Although maybe we could find a moment later?",
"Pacey: I can't. I think I have to go to my parents' for Thanksgiving.",
"Jen: Ok.",
"Pacey: I'm sorry. I have to. I figure it's probably the right thing to do, seeing as they brought me into the world and all.",
"Jen: Gee, you sound so excited.",
"Pacey: Well, it's such a joyous occasion. Just imagine it-- the Witter women slaving over a hot stove all afternoon just to be told that the butterball is too dry, and this coming from a guy who's been sitting on his derriere all day getting drunk and watching football.",
"Jen: Well, even despite the creamed onions, You gotta love grams for offering an alternative.",
"Pacey: I do. Speaking of, you know you never told me who else is coming.",
"Jen: Don't worry, Pacey. Andie politely declined the invite.",
"Pacey: Hey, I wasn't going there.",
"Jen: Please. I think that she's making dinner for Jack and her dad tonight.",
"Pacey: Sounds nice. It's good for her to have family at Thanksgiving.",
"Jen: Come here.",
"[She gives him a big hug.]",
"Pacey: Mmm! Good lord, do you smell good.",
"Jen: [Snorts]",
"Pacey: What was that?",
"Jen: [Laughing]",
"Pacey: Oh, come on!",
"Jen: I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!",
"[Opening Credits]",
"[Scene: Inside the Leery kitchen. Gale is cooking food for the Ryan's Thanksgiving dinner and Dawson enters after walking through the living room where Mitch is watching football.]",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Gale: Hey. So. What do you think? Tell me the truth. I want my contributions to Mrs. Ryan's Thanksgiving dinner to be straight out of gourmet magazine.",
"Dawson: It looks like the cover of the November issue to me.",
"Gale: Ah. So while those cool, I can now get started with this oyster stuffing.",
"Dawson: So how goes the apartment search?",
"Gale: Oh, it's... It's coming. But you don't mind, do you, I mean me taking up temporary residence in the guest room?",
"Mitch: [From the other room] Go! Go! Touchdown! All right! Whoo!",
"Dawson: This is starting to feel oddly familiar.",
"Gale: What, your, uh, father watching football and me in my apron?",
"Mitch: Hey, Dawson, you're missing a great game in there. Whoa! Check out these pies! Dawson, grab a knife. Let's see if they taste as good as they look.",
"Gale: Uh-uh. Don't even think about it. Hands off. I cannot show up at Mrs. Ryan's with half-eaten baked goods.",
"Mitch: That hardly seems fair, does it, Dawson? She invades our kitchen, fills the house with the scent of pumpkin pie, and then tells us we can't have any.",
"Gale: Fair or unfair, no one is going to spoil their Thanksgiving dinner on my watch.",
"Dawson: [Laughs] Why do I suddenly feel like I'm stuck in an episode of the Waltons?",
"Gale: Honey, why don't you go change?",
"[Scene: Inside Gram's Kitchen. Grams is there when Jen enters carrying the grocery bags.]",
"Jen: Ok. Grams!",
"Grams: Ah, there you are!",
"Jen: Hey, Sam says hi.",
"Grams: Who's Sam?",
"Jen: You know Sam, the deli guy. The one with the bad dentures, the liver spots, and all that nostril hair? I think he likes you.",
"Grams: Jennifer, there's something I need to tell you.",
"Jen: I know, I know. I won't eat any of the food before the meal is served. I will clean out my closet to hang up the guests' coats in, and I will think of something to be thankful for so I won't embarrass you in front of your prayer group.",
"Grams: Yes. Actually, no. No, that's not what I want to talk to you about",
"Jen: Seriously Grams, you gotta relax. It's just a meal.",
"Grams: It's a meal with a long history.",
"Jen: I'm sure it is. I gotta go get ready.",
"Grams: Jennifer, I just want you to bear in mind that--that Thanksgiving is a holiday with a tradition, a tradition of people with differences, different ideas, different beliefs coming together... Sitting down together, breaking bread together in harmony.",
"Jen: Well, despite the fact that I learned all that in kindergarten when we made those little indian construction paper headdresses, I really do appreciate the refresher course. But don't worry. I plan to stay as far out of your way on this, as humanly possible.",
"[They walk down the hall to her room, as they talk and when she enters her room someone is there.]",
"Jen: Mom.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Hello, Jen.",
"[Scene: The Potter kitchen. Joey and Bessie are in there talking while cooking.]",
"Bessie: I'm so stupid.",
"Joey: What?",
"Bessie: Oh, my god. I totally forgot-- I forgot that-- you know, I forgot that thing that goes inside the bird. What's it called?",
"Joey: The gizzard bag?",
"Bessie: Yeah.",
"Joey: Oh, yuck I swear, I mean, if mom were still alive, she would probably have her own cooking show on the food network by now. And look at us.",
"Bessie: The truth is, I'm glad we're having Thanksgiving at the Ryans'.",
"Joey: Me, too. I don't know. Maybe it's just the holidays, but... I just feel like any minute now, she's gonna come walking through that door and... Out of the kitchen, everybody!",
"[Scene: Dawson's Bedroom. Dawson is in there getting ready when there is a knock on the door.]",
"Gale: Dawson?",
"Dawson: Come in.",
"Gale: Hey. Ah, you're wearing your new sweater.",
"Dawson: Mom.",
"Gale: Ha. Sorry. Um...You know, honey, I didn't want to say anything earlier in front of your dad, but, uh...You're never gonna guess who I ran into this morning. Helen Lindley.",
"Dawson: Jen's mom?",
"Gale: Mm hmm. So what do you think that means?",
"Dawson: What do I think it means?",
"Gale: What, you think it's not possible at this very moment the two of them could be discussing a certain half-sister?",
"Dawson: I think that's highly unlikely, considering Jen doesn't know she has a half-sister.",
"Gale: You didn't tell her?",
"Dawson: No.",
"Gale: Dawson, I'm impressed. I had no idea that you had such self-control.",
"Dawson: I'd like to brag and say it was self-control, but I think it was more gutlessness than anything.",
"Gale: Well, then it's just a coincidence.",
"Dawson: What's just a coincidence?",
"Gale: Well, that one week you discover a skeleton in the Lindley closet, and then the next the aforementioned family just happens to get together for the first time in over a year.",
"[Scene: on the Dock. Jen is sitting there and Grams comes up to sit next to her.]",
"Grams: You've been down here for nearly a half an hour now, Jennifer. You have to come up sooner or later.",
"Jen: How could you not tell me that she was coming?",
"Grams: I didn't know! She just... Arrived. It seems your father was detained unexpectedly in Europe on business.",
"Jen: Now that I can believe. Probably tossing back a vodka martini about now, drowning his sorrows... As if he actually felt any.",
"Grams: Be generous, Jennifer.",
"Jen: Why? My mother isn't here 'cause she really wants to see me. She's here 'cause she's got nowhere else to go.",
"Grams: You don't know that.",
"Jen: You know what. You're right. I don't. And how would I? The only contact that I've had with her in the past year was a phone call.",
"Grams: You know what I think?",
"Jen: What?",
"Grams: I think that underneath all this, you're really pleased to see her. Well, maybe pleased is not exactly the right word. Maybe it's more like...Prepared. You are prepared to deal with the past. You're prepared to start facing the problems between you.",
"Jen: I can't even look at her... Let alone talk to her.",
"Grams: Maybe you can't find the right words because there's too much to say. Jennifer, for the past 14 months, I've been watching you. I've watched you change. You're more serious now. You're more at peace with yourself. It's like...You've crossed some kind of a threshold.",
"Jen: Threshold. It's more like a crossroads, like I... Like I could just go either way.",
"Grams: Well...I know that you will choose the right way.",
"Jen: But in the meantime...",
"Grams: In the meantime, one foot in front of the other starting in that direction. Come on, Jennifer. You can't stay down here all afternoon. People are starting to arrive. Besides, I'm willing to bet your mother is just as nervous as you are.",
"Jen: You think?",
"Grams: Absolutely. In some ways, the two of you are more alike than you know.",
"[Scene: Outside Grams House. Pacey is outside riding up on his bike, when Jack and Andie arrive.]",
"Jack: Hey, Pacey. Happy Thanksgiving.",
"Pacey: Yeah, you, too, man. Happy Thanksgiving, Andie.",
"Andie: You, too, Pacey.",
"Pacey: I, uh... I thought you guys were spending the afternoon with your dad.",
"Jack: Well, that was, uh, plan \"A.\" But he got stuck in Chicago. Any other dad would have found a plane, train, automobile. Anything to see his kids, but not Joseph McPhee.",
"Andie: You know what, Jack? I'm sure he did everything he could to get here.",
"Pacey: What'd you bring, Andie?",
"Andie: Apple pie.",
"Jack: Yeah, she made it herself.",
"Pacey: Yeah. It looks amazing.",
"Jack: Uh...What'd you bring?",
"Pacey: It's, um... Ha. It's...Cranberry sauce. In a can. Ha ha. Little on the lame side, I know, but it's about the extent of culinary expertise.",
"Jack: Don't knock cranberry sauce. I mean, it's the backbone of any good Thanksgiving dinner.",
"Pacey: Yeah. So how you been, Andie?",
"Andie: Me? Fine! Why do you ask?",
"Pacey: Well, it's been a while since you and I touched base. I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing.",
"Andie: Ha ha. Ok, can somebody please tell me why guys always do that? I mean, you want to be the nice, polite friend after the break-up. You know what, Pacey? You made a decision. So at least have the strength to believe in your convictions.",
"Pacey: You're right. Ahem. You're absolutely right. Um...Listen... Jack, I think, uh, I'm just gonna mosey. You know? I'm just gonna get off to my second stop on my Capeside tour of Thanksgiving.",
"Andie: No, no. You know what? We are the ones who came at the last minute, so I really should be the one to...",
"Pacey: Andie, I wouldn't think of it.",
"Andie: I should be the one to leave.",
"Jack: You're not going anywhere, and neither are you. Ok? It's Thanksgiving. Now, I think it's pretty cool of Grams to play host to this group of misfits. If the two of you can't get over your history for just a couple of hours and enjoy the company of your friends, you should be home eating a TV dinner under a bare bulb, ok? So get over yourselves already. God.",
"[Scene: Outside Gram's House. Joey, Bessie, Mitch Gale, and Dawson arrive together.]",
"Gale: Look who's here! Look at this guy. Alexander! You are so big! Happy Thanksgiving.",
"Bessie: Happy Thanksgiving.",
"Joey: Happy Thanksgiving.",
"Gale: You are getting so handsome!",
"Joey: It's weird to see your parents together. They seem to be getting along.",
"Dawson: So it would appear.",
"Grams: Hi everyone. Happy Thanksgiving. Come on in.",
"Jen: All right, everybody. Coats.",
"[Jen brings the coats into her room, where she finds her mother still there getting ready.]",
"Jen: Sorry. I didn't realize you were still here.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Oh, please, we can share. It is your room now, after all.",
"Jen: No. I was just gonna drop these coats on the bed.",
"Mrs. Lindley: I'm sorry. Jen. Um...Would you mind? Thanks. My god, you're getting so beautiful. I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong?",
"Jen: No. No, I--I--I was--",
"Mrs. Lindley: Tell me.",
"Jen: I was just remembering how I used to watch you in the mirror when I was little. Watching you put on your lipstick, brushing your hair. I just studied your every move.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Like I was the most important person in the world.",
"Jen: Something like that.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Here, I have something for you. My mom gave these to me when I was about your age, and I figured that it's, um, about time to pass them on.",
"Jen: They're beautiful, mom.",
"Mrs. Lindley: You know I've always thought so.",
"Jen: But I can't.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Why not?",
"Jen: Because where would I wear them? I mean, at home, maybe, but... I mean, in New York maybe, but here? And this is where I live now.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Save them for a special occasion.",
"Jen: Mom, you're the one that taught me pearls lose their luster if you don't wear them. I guess that they're like people in that regard. You should keep them close to your skin.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Jen, please.",
"Jen: I need to go help grams in the kitchen.",
"[Scene: inside Gram's kitchen. Gram's is there, and Joey and Dawson enter, Jen follows shortly behind.]",
"Joey: Is there anything we can help you with, Mrs. Ryan?",
"Grams: Pray.",
"Jen: Got anything in particular?",
"Grams: General prayer would be fine.",
"Dawson: Jen.",
"Jen: Hey.",
"Dawson: Rumor has it your mom's in town.",
"Jen: Yeah.",
"Dawson: Are we gonna get a chance to meet her?",
"Jen: Um, I would love for you guys to meet her, but--it just that we seem to be having a little failure to communicate right now. She's currently primping in the mirror.",
"Grams: I'm sure that she'll be down shortly.",
"Dawson: Did you know she was coming?",
"Jen: No.",
"Dawson: Mm-mmm. Big surprise.",
"Jen: Guerrilla style. It seems my mom is a graduate of the Ho Chi Minh school of parenting.",
"Dawson: Is she here for some reason other than Thanksgiving? Any news on the home front?",
"Jen: What, you mean is she begging me to return home to the familial fold? I don't think so.",
"Dawson: Well, did you talk to her? I mean, it's been a long time. She must have a lot to tell you.",
"Jen: Like what?",
"Dawson: Like maybe she misses you. Maybe she's sorry that she sent you away, you know. I mean, I know she hasn't always been there for you.",
"Jen: Dawson, ever since I was 13 years old, that woman has done nothing but stare at me with a look of mild disregard, like I was some stranger who spilled a cocktail on her carpet.",
"Joey: Jen, um, we're all strangers to our parents. I mean, they love us, but they don't really know us. And sometimes before we get the chance to know them, they're gone. And so we can't ask them all the things we want to know About turnips or turkey gizzards. You know, what they were like when they were young.",
"Jen: Joey, I'm sorry.",
"Joey: Oh, it's ok.",
"Jen: No, I am. I--I totally",
"Joey: No, look. What I'm trying to say is... Why don't you give her a chance? She's your mom and, um, the reality is that, you know, she came here today to talk to you and to be with you. And I think you owe her that much.",
"[Scene: By the Creek. Mrs. Lindley is there standing by the water's edge when Dawson comes up to her.]",
"Dawson: Mrs. Lindley. Hi, I'm Dawson, Dawson Leery.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Oh, Gale's son. Of course. Hello, pleased to meet you.",
"Dawson: Pleased to meet you.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Don't think I could have imagined a more beautiful day. Sometimes I forget how magical this place could be.",
"Dawson: Um, you know that Jen and I actually dated for a little while. We--uh, we're still very good friends. I care very deeply about her.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Well, that's nice to hear, Dawson. I'm glad that Jen has a friend in you.",
"Dawson: Um... There is also something else that you should know.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Yes?",
"Dawson: It is not going to be easy to say this, so I'm just gonna say it and you can tell me if I'm out of line.",
"Mrs. Lindley: I'm listening.",
"Dawson: A few, uh-- not too long ago, I met a girl who was just passing through Capeside. And, uh, I got to know her a little bit, and it came out that she had been given up for adoption. Um, she just recently discovered this, and she was determined to find her birth mother.",
"Mrs. Lindley: What does this have to do with me, Dawson?",
"Dawson: Mrs. Lindley, this girl was carrying a picture of you.",
"Mrs. Lindley: And, uh, where is she? Is she still here in town?",
"Dawson: No, she's not. By the time I realized who she was, she left. So it's true?",
"Mrs. Lindley: Does Jen know anything about this?",
"Dawson: No. I wrestled with telling her, but I... I ultimately decided it wasn't my place, which is why I'm really glad you're here.",
"Mrs. Lindley: This is a very difficult and very personal issue.",
"Dawson: I'm sure it is.",
"Mrs. Lindley: But as you said, the girl is gone. That's why I don't see any reason for Jen to know anything about this.",
"Dawson: That's not entirely true. I mean, there's nothing to prevent Eve from coming back into town.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Eve?",
"Dawson: That's her name. Eve Whitman. And, for all I know, she could approach Jen herself. Something tells me that this information would be much better coming from you than from her.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Remember when you asked me to tell you if you were out of line?",
"Dawson: Look, I'm not an authority on functional families, but I-I've seen what happens when families keep these kinds of secrets from each other. I just don't want to see Jen get hurt.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Neither do I.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Gram's Porch. Andie is watching Pacey and Jack set the table up outside. Joey comes up to her.]",
"Joey: It gets easier, you know.",
"Andie: What does?",
"Joey: Being in the same room with him.",
"[Cut to Jack and Pacey]",
"Pacey: Does she ever ask about me?",
"Jack: What do you think?",
"Pacey: I'm thinking she'd probably hate me right about now.",
"Jack: Ah, only every other day.",
"[Cut to Andie and Joey]",
"Joey: Andie... As a veteran of multiple breakups with the same boy, I know what you're going through. And I just wanted to let you know that the dark nights will pass. Eventually, you will find peace.",
"Andie: Wish I could believe you, Joey. Because sometimes it's just so unbearable, and it's like this feeling of being uncomfortable in my own skin. And it's like I have to keep busy because if I stop, even just for one minute, all I can think about... Is how badly I hurt him and how badly I got hurt.",
"[Cut to Pacey and Jack.]",
"Jack: Well, it's not a judgment, it's a fact. I mean, you broke my sister's heart.",
"Pacey: And she broke mine.",
"Jack: Ok, so, imagine how much pain she's in.",
"[Cut to Andie and Joey.]",
"Andie: So, you guys have gotten to be pretty good friends lately.",
"Joey: Yeah. I mean, Pacey's a doofus, but, you know, he has his moments.",
"Andie: So, does he talk about me?",
"Joey: Not really, Andie. You know Pacey. I mean, if he can't come up with a clever quip about something, then he goes stoic. The way he feels about you, he keeps that close to his heart. It's really precious to him, Andie",
"[Scene: The Thanksgiving table. Everyone is seated around it, and Grams stands up to get people's attention.]",
"[taps on glass]",
"Grams: And now a favorite part of the meal. Shall we all stand and join hands? Dawson Leery, would you begin?",
"Dawson: Uh, sure. I would like to give thanks for the wonderful food that was just on our table.",
"Pacey: Indeed.",
"All: Hear, hear.",
"Mitch: Great cranberries.",
"Dawson: [Laughs] Um, I'd also like to give thanks for the opportunity to gather with friends and family, who in the best of all worlds are one and the same.",
"Pacey: Well, I'd just like to pass my thanks along to the ladies of the Ryan brood for an outstanding meal and an afternoon of peace. Both of which will be sorely lacking from the noisy, dysfunctional family feast I'll be having in about 45 minute.",
"Andie: First of all, I'd like to thank Mrs. Ryan for her kindness and for welcoming me into her home at the last minute.",
"Grams: Of course, dear.",
"Andie: I guess what I'm most thankful for is my friends. All of you around this table have helped me in so many ways that you'll never know, and without you I'd be lost.",
"Jack: Uh, I'd like to give thanks for the kind of people that take strays into their life. And the kind of person to whom it doesn't matter whether or not you're family. Just that you have a home.",
"Joey: It's my turn, I guess. Um... I guess I-- I would just like to give thanks to all the people we love who aren't necessarily with us today for whatever reason. Just because they're not here doesn't mean we love them any less.",
"Grams: It's your turn, Jennifer.",
"Jen: Let me think. Well, in keeping with the theme, I guess I'd like to give thanks for second chances. For the opportunity to try and rebuild bridges that were once thought beyond repair. And for the promise of many more Thanksgivings to come.",
"Grams: That was lovely, dear.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Excuse me.",
"[She leaves the table.]",
"Jen: Grams, I'll go.",
"[Scene: Along the water's edge. Jen is running to catch up with her mother who is walking along it.]",
"Jen: Mom. Wait up. I didn't mean to upset you. I meant what I said. I was just being honest.",
"Mrs. Lindley: You didn't upset me. I was just thinking.",
"Jen: About what?",
"Mrs. Lindley: Oh, maybe I did something right for a change.",
"Jen: What do you mean?",
"Mrs. Lindley: Sending you to live with Grams.",
"Jen: Sending isn't the way I'd put it.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Fair enough, Jen. But I don't think you realize how lucky you are. I've been searching in vain for friends like that all my life.",
"Jen: Well, I'm glad that it makes you feel better, but as good of friends as they are, they're not family.",
"Mrs. Lindley: No. You're right, Jen.",
"Jen: This past year has been anything but easy for me. I've stumbled and picked myself up stumbled and picked myself up. Over and over and over with no safety net.",
"Mrs. Lindley: I know I should have been there for you. I should have written or called.",
"Jen: So why didn't you?",
"Mrs. Lindley: I wish I could tell you that. For a thousand different reasons, I kept wanting to.",
"Jen: You have no idea how much that hurts.",
"Mrs. Lindley: I know.",
"Jen: What did I do that was so bad? What was so wrong?",
"Mrs. Lindley: Nothing, Jen, nothing was so wrong.",
"Jen: Then what?",
"Mrs. Lindley: Let me try and explain this.",
"[Scene: At one of the picnic tables. Gale and Mitch are sitting there joking when Dawson comes up to them.]",
"Dawson: You mind if I join you?",
"Gale: Well, of course not. Sweetheart, I was very proud of what you said at the table today.",
"Mitch: Dawson, check out your mom's pie. It's well worth the wait.",
"Dawson: All right, guys, that's enough.",
"Gale: What's wrong?",
"Dawson: You two, acting like Rob and Laura Petrie. One more moment of false sitcomy good cheer, I'm gonna throw up your oyster stuffing.",
"Gale: We're just trying to become friends again, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Friends or more than friends? Mom, you move back into town and you take up residence in our guest room.",
"Gale: What is that supposed to mean?",
"Dawson: Are you part of the family, or are you a tenant, or what?",
"Gale: It's not that simple, Dawson.",
"Dawson: [Sigh] It never is with you two. All right, look. I'm obviously out of the loop here, but maybe that's for the best, ok? Because the last thing that I want to do is be caught in the middle of your drama. But...Guys, if there's something going on that affects me, then I need to know about it. Ok, you guys have to be honest with me.",
"[Scene: Along the creek side. Jen and Mrs. Lindley are still talking.]",
"Jen: Ok, let me see if I understand. Mother finds daughter in compromising position, and instead of sharing her own experiences as a teenager-- when she actually got pregnant and had a child-- mother instead turns into a hypocrite and sends her daughter into exile.",
"Mrs. Lindley: It wasn't only me. There was your father to consider.",
"Jen: Oh, yeah forgot about him.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Just for a minute, try to put yourself in my place.",
"Jen: Why didn't you tell me this earlier? Didn't you once think that maybe it would help me with what I was going through that you would make something easier on me? Instead of pushing me away and turning your back?",
"Mrs. Lindley: It was a shameful secret, a secret I've had to carry for over 20 years.",
"Jen: So the answer was then to make me feel dirty and ashamed?",
"Mrs. Lindley: That was never my intention.",
"Jen: Know what I think? I think that you were just afraid of dad finding out, about your indiscretion. The story of my life, just waiting for the day that you decide to take my story for once over his.",
"Mrs. Lindley: You can think what you want, Jen. But I was not and am not prepared to wind up alone.",
"Jen: That's the difference between you and me, mom. Because I would rather be alone than in a pathetic, loveless marriage.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Don't go.",
"Jen: Mom, you are the most intensely selfish person that I have ever known. Look at you. You can't even cry. Something's taken that away from you. You're numb. And you know what? You're grateful for it. Know why you're so afraid of being alone? Because the day you are, you're gonna have to look inside of yourself and you're gonna see what I've known for a long time. There's nothing there.",
"[Scene: At another table. Bessie is standing up with Alexander. She is getting ready to go, when Dawson comes up to them.]",
"Bessie: Well, he's had it. [crying] It's definitely time for us to go.",
"Joey: I'm just gonna say good-bye to everyone.",
"Bessie: Oh, just us, not you. You stay. Be with your friends.",
"Dawson: Hi, Bessie. Are you leaving?",
"Bessie: Oh, yeah.",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Joey: So, I saw you huddle up with your parents over there. What's going on with them?",
"Dawson: I was seeing the final chapter of the Mitch-Gale saga.",
"Joey: What do you mean?",
"Dawson: The divorce is final. The Leerys at Capeside are officially finished as a family.",
"Joey: You know how sorry I am.",
"Dawson: I know.",
"Joey: So what did you say to them when they told you?",
"Dawson: I really let them have it this time. I looked them both in the eye, and I said \"congratulations.\"",
"Joey: Good for you, Dawson.",
"Dawson: But, you know, I figure after a year of if-ing and but-ing, any decision is a good decision. Right?",
"Joey: Um-hmm.",
"Dawson: Besides, the only homes we ever have are the ones we make ourselves.",
"Joey: I know what you mean.",
"Dawson: So what do you say we really cut loose tonight? Yeah? Act out our teenage ennui in wanton, destructive ways.",
"Joey: What do you have in mind?",
"Dawson: s*x, drugs, rock and roll. Or maybe... We could just sit right here and have a mind-blowing 3-hour conversation.",
"[Scene: Pacey is leaving the house, when Jen comes up and grabs his arm and pulls him along.]",
"Jen: Come here.",
"Pacey: Uh, where are we going?",
"Jen: To the gardening shed to play in the enriched potting soil.",
"Pacey: Did I miss something here?",
"Jen: No. We agreed to be available at a moment's notice. Besides, don't you like getting dirty?",
"Pacey: I--I do, but you see, I don't want to sound like a prude here, Jen, but I actually-- I really can't do this right now.",
"Jen: Come on, Pacey, I can say with absolute certainty that there will be no giggling right now.",
"Pacey: You--you, uh, just need to give me a second to catch up here.",
"Jen: Pacey, our arrangement precludes any sort of emotional foreplay.",
"Pacey: Yes, it does, which by extension also precludes the idea of angry s*x. Now you want to tell me what just happened with your mom?",
"Jen: Nothing. Ok, long story short. Like mother, like daughter. Seems that I'm not the only girl in the Lindley family who can't say no.",
"Pacey: Well, wake up and smell the sanctimony, mom.",
"Jen: My sentiments exactly. I plan to file it under \"wish I never knew.\"",
"Pacey: I wouldn't be so hasty.",
"Jen: What, Pacey?",
"Pacey: For what it's worth, as a guy who's just gone through this himself, what just happened to you is a defining moment. When you come to see your parents as human beings with their own problems, it is, oddly, kind of liberating. When you realize... They're way more messed up than you are. It's not worth your time or energy to go on despising them for it.",
"[Scene: Later that night at Gram's House. Mrs. Lindley is packing up the car. When Jen comes out to her.]",
"Jen: Leaving so soon?",
"Mrs. Lindley: I think I've wreaked enough havoc for one holiday, don't you?",
"Jen: If you're worried that I'm going to spill your little secret to dad, don't. I won't get in the middle. It's your marriage and your life.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Jennifer.",
"Jen: And I don't regret saying any of the things that I did. I won't take them back.",
"Mrs. Lindley: I deserved them. I deserve everything that happens to me.",
"Jen: What do you mean?",
"Mrs. Lindley: Don't marry a cold man, Jen. Don't wake up at 40 and realize that one false move and everything you've built your life around could be pulled out from under you.",
"Jen: Why don't you just divorce him?",
"Mrs. Lindley: I can't.",
"Jen: Why not?",
"Mrs. Lindley: Because do you realize what happens to women like me when their marriages fail? The charity events stop, the social register inexplicably loses your address, and you disappear. You just disappear.",
"Jen: Ever since you put me on that plane, I always thought that you hated me. But you never did, did you?",
"Mrs. Lindley: No.",
"Jen: If anyone, you just hated yourself. If I had realized that earlier, this past year would have been so much easier for me.",
"Mrs. Lindley: I'm sorry, Jen.",
"Jen: I know.",
"Mrs. Lindley: I guess now I have to stop worrying you'll turn out like me. Because you're already so much stronger than I ever was. I guess I should be going.",
"[Grams comes out and outs her hands on Jen's shoulders.]",
"Grams: Good-bye, Helen.",
"Mrs. Lindley: Bye, mom.",
"Jen: Bye, mom. Call me sometime.",
"Mrs. Lindley: I will.",
"Grams: You all right?",
"Jen: Yeah. I'll be fine.",
"[Scene: A little later. Pacey comes riding up to Jen who is walking to the group around the bonfire.]",
"Jen: Pacey, what are you doing here?",
"Pacey: Ah, I just couldn't do it. You know, I got right up to my front door, and I thought to myself, what the hell am I doing here? I mean, honestly, who would I rather spend my time with, my family who thinks I'm an idiot, or my friends who think I'm an idiot?",
"Jen: [Laughter] well, I'm glad that you're here.",
"Pacey: Yeah? There's no hard feelings for this afternoon?",
"Jen: Except for ones of utter embarrassment. No. I'm sorry about what happened.",
"Pacey: Sorry? There's no need for you to apologize to me. I know this may be hard for you to believe, but it's actually not every day that a beautiful woman throws herself at me.",
"Jen: And--and thank you.",
"Pacey: For what?",
"Jen: Conduct above and beyond.",
"Pacey: Ah, it was nothing.",
"Jen: Pacey, you're a 16-year-old boy. That must have taken superhuman restraint.",
"Pacey: Oh, Jen, you have no idea .",
"[Scene: Around the bonfire. All of them are seated around it.]",
"Pacey: This seat taken?",
"Andie: It is now.",
"Dawson: You know what I'm thinking? It's been kind of a while, you know, since we've all ended up in the same spot together . I must say it's nice.",
"Jen: You know, Dawson, you're right. I feel like I'm in the middle of a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special.",
"Andie: Oh, I love that one. That's where they all eat on the ping-pong table, but it keeps collapsing, and then they end up making the popcorn.",
"Joey: Yeah, well, I think the group hug is a little premature, however. I'm sure we'll find a way to be estranged again in no time.",
"Dawson: Well, before we do, I would just like to say that in a world where people who raise you end up letting you down, it's an honor and a privilege to have you guys to turn to.",
"Joey: I can't wait for the Oscar speech. I mean, there's not gonna be a dry eye in the house."

"Dawson almost uncovers Pacey and Jen's secret after they get frisky in his bedroom and leave an unused condom on the floor. Crossed wires lead him to believe that Joey is the one apparently having sex with Pacey, but when the friends discover the truth, an excessive reaction from Joey leads to teasing from Pacey. After careful consideration, Pacey and Jen realise that things will never happen for them, and they go back to being just good friends. To win a scholarship for college, Joey enrolls at a local dance school with Pacey as her partner. Meanwhile, Jack attempts to meet up with a gay student from another high school, who saw the story Dawson produced about him. Andie annoys Jack with her relentless encouragement, but ends up soothing him when things don't go as planned."

"Jen: Nothing.",
"Pacey: Nothing! Ahh! You?",
"Jen: Nothing. God, Pacey, this is weird.",
"Pacey: It really is. It's the damnedest thing. I mean, how are we supposed to have some lurid, purely sexual affair if every time we get together...",
"Jen: There's no sexual tension.",
"Pacey: Nada.",
"Jen: Zilch.",
"Pacey & Jen: If its me No, it's not you, it's me.",
"Jen: No, no I mean we're both we're both two highly sexually charged people",
"Pacey: Absolutely! Look at our track records.",
"Jen: Oh yeah.",
"Pacey: We're all that and then some, thank you very much.",
"Jen: And look at the measures that we've gone through today.",
"Pacey: We've come properly equipped (pulls a condom out of his pocket)",
"Jen: And we've picked the perfect locale.",
"Pacey: Absolutely. You know, Dawson and Mr. Leery both at school for the afternoon, window's always open, this was sheer genius on your part.",
"Jen: Grams always said that that ladder was an invitation to sin.",
"(Pacey looks at her and they both attack each other momentarily. They stop.)",
"Pacey: This is starting to get depressing.",
"(Beginning to put their shoes on.)",
"Jen: All right, I'll tell you what, why don't we give it a week, keep trying in hopes that whatever sexual spark once flickered will burn again.",
"(A door is heard slamming downstairs.)",
"Pacey: Whoa, did you just hear somebody come into the house?",
"(Jen looks at him and bolts for the window, grabbing her jacket. Pacey struggles to put his jacket on, when he suddenly dives to the floor for his last shoe. Dawson walks in, as Pacey is grabbing the Playstation controller.",
"Dawson: Pacey.",
"Pacey: Hey, man, what's happening?",
"Dawson: What are you doing in my room in the middle of a school day?",
"Pacey: Just playing some Crash Bandicoot. What are you doing home?",
"Dawson: I had a dentist appointment. I came back to get my books.",
"Pacey: You, uh, have any cavities?",
"Dawson: No. How how did you get in?",
"Pacey: Is that clock right on the VCR? Cause if it is, man, I should really be getting to school.",
"(Pacey goes to leave through Dawson's door.)",
"Dawson: Aren't you forgetting something?",
"Pacey: I don't think so.",
"Dawson: You sure?",
"Pacey: Pretty sure, yeah.",
"Dawson: Cause you're only wearing one shoe.",
"(Pacey looks down, seeing one shoeless foot, and smiles uncomfortable at Dawson. Capeside High - Andie sits at a picnic table outside school when Jack walks up.)",
"Jack: Hey.",
"Andie: (referring to the papers in Jack's hand) Oh my God, I hope that is not your report on Manifest Destiny, because mine is only four paragraphs.",
"Jack: No, no. Remember when Dawson did that story about me joining the football team on the web?",
"Andie: Yeah.",
"Jack: These are E-mails from people who saw it.",
"Andie: (taking some sheets from him) Oh, Jack, this is amazing. I mean look how many people you reached.",
"Jack: No, look, I didn't exactly reach everybody. Check this out. (reading from one of the sheets) \"Dear Homo, Too bad Capeside didn't make it to regionals. Our linebackers are looking forward to playing smear the queer.",
"Andie: Oh my God, that's so sad. I mean, some poor dumb cheerleader is wasting all of her prime boy-chasing years on that closet case. 'Kay this one looks good. \"Dear Jack, Saw the story about you on the web. Have you been deluged with letters addressed 'Dear Homo?' If not, then they'll come soon. That's what happened to me when I took another guy to the prom last year and the story got picked up by the AP wire.\"",
"Jack: Who's that from?",
"Andie: Um, some guy named Ben. Ben Street. \"If you ever need to talk to someone who's been there and lived to tell, you can find me in the pink pages under out teens.\"",
"Jack: (taking it from her) Give me that.",
"Andie: Gotcha. You should write him back, he sounds like a nice guy.",
"Jack: Yeah, I'm gonna write him back. He he's a total stranger. What would I say?",
"Andie: I don't know. Say anything. It worked for John Cusack. Ok, gotta go. Bye.",
"(Guidance Counselor's office - Pacey walks in.)",
"Pacey: All right, whatever it is, I didn't do it. But if I did do it, then I just want you to know I take full and complete responsibility for all of my actions.",
"Counselor: This isn't a disciplinary matter, Pacey.(offering Pacey a seat) Please. You're here because when Mr. Milo sent your file over to me, you jumped immediately to the top ten of my most in need of guidance list. And when I started talking to your teachers",
"Pacey: Uh-oh.",
"Counselor: You're failing math, Pacey.",
"Pacey: I'm failing?",
"Counselor: I'm afraid the only other grades you've got going here are four D-pluses and one very lonely C-minus. Want to tell me why that is?",
"Pacey: Just lazy, I guess.",
"Counselor: Has there been some trouble at home? Any- any sort of change in your family situation?",
"Pacey: No, it's nothing like that.",
"Counselor: Mr. Milo mentioned something about a girlfriend being sick.",
"Pacey: She's not my girlfriend anymore.",
"Counselor: I'm sorry to hear that.",
"Pacey: Yeah, you and me both, but life goes on, doesn't it? Listen, you think I could get out of here? I'm probably missing a filmstrip or something. (Pacey goes to leave.)",
"Counselor: You seem like a good kid, Pacey. Whatever's eating at you these days, don't let it win, okay?",
"Pacey: Maybe it already has.",
"(Computer Lab - Andie and Jack are working next to each other.)",
"Andie: Ok, 40,000 hits? I must be doing something wrong.",
"Jack: (looking at her screen) Oh, well you can't do a search on such a broad topic like democracy. You have to decide what you want, what you don't want, and then, you know, establish some restrictions.",
"Andie: Okay. Oh, so it would be like, if I were searching for, say, a boyfriend, then I'd want to meet a lot of people and get to know them and eliminate the incompatible ones.",
"Jack: You know, you really should have your own web site, www.annoyingsister.com.",
"Andie: Hahaha, Jack. Ok, I really think that you should write this guy Ben back. I mean, he seems super nice and he only lives two towns over. I mean, you guys could end up being friends or..",
"Jack: Or what?",
"Andie: Or whatever.",
"Jack: Please.",
"Andie: What? You worried that he has a boyfriend? Let me assure you, a lot can happen between May and November. I mean, prom guy could be completely out of the picture by now.",
"Jack: Andie, stop it.",
"Andie: Jack, you have to seize the day! If you don't, I'll do it for you. (Andie notices Jack isn't paying attention. He's staring at his screen where someone has instant messaged him.) Jack? What? Someone just instant messaged you. Just hit oh my God, it's Ben Street! It's him! It's him!",
"Jack: Yeah, yeah I know. What do I do here? How do I make this thing go away?",

"Pacey: Hey, Joey. Joey, how are you doing? My, you are looking absolutely ravishing today. Is that a new uh, hair thing-a-ma-jig you got going there?",
"Joey: You need my notes from today's class that you missed.",
"Pacey: You missed me, huh?",
"Joey: Oh, how could I miss you? It's so much easier to see the board without your big fat head in the way. I need these back by tomorrow morning. (She hands him the paper.)",
"Pacey: (reading the notes) What's a cosine?",
"Joey: You don't know what a cosine is? You're never gonna catch up by midterms.",
"Pacey: You're absolutely right. I'm not. Not unless, of course, you",
"Joey: Look, I'm not gonna help you, Pacey. I've been busting my butt all semester while you've been ah, who knows what the hell you've been doing lately.",
"Pacey: I've been busy.",
"Joey: Busy, right. Pacey, you have a very undemanding part-time job, your only familial obligation is to feed the dog everyday, and your social life is basically a triangle consisting of you, me and Dawson.",
"Pacey: Ok, listen. Truth be told, I'm failing math right now. Yeah, so if you could find it in your heart to explain all this trig stuff to me, I'll do anything you want.",
"Joey: Anything?",
"(Starlight Dance Studio - Joey and Pacey are moving about the other people dancing. They seem kinda clumsy and are barely even touching each other.)",
"Penny: Slow quick quick. Good footwork, people!",
"Joey: (Pacey stepping on her toes) Ow!",
"Pacey: Maybe you should probably tell me what I'm doing here before the other nine suffer the same fate.",
"Joey: You expect me to believe that you actually have control over those lead feet of yours? (he steps on her foot again.) Ow! Pacey!",
"Pacey: I'm sorry!",
"Joey: Look, every year the Starlight school offers a $1,500 scholarship to the high school student who best exemplifies the spirit and grace of ballroom dancing. If you look around, there are about six people who wear their teeth to bed, let alone go to high school with us.",
"Pacey: Which would make you what? A shoe-in?",
"Joey: I do have to complete at least one of the two week courses.",
"Pacey: Why didn't you get Dawson to do this with you? Or Jack for that matter?",
"Joey: Because they don't owe me like you will after I perform CPR on your math grade.",
"Pacey: So that's the trade-off.",
"Joey: Mmm-hmm.",
"Pacey: One study session for one dance class.",
"Joey: That's the trade off.",
"Pacey: (sarcastically) Excellent.",
"Penny: What did I say about ribcages touching? And refresh my memory, who's leading here?",
"Pacey: I'm trying, but Janet Reno here doesn't exactly make it easy on a fella, you know what I'm saying?",
"Joey: Like you even know how, Pacey.",
"Penny: (to Pacey) You lead.",
"Pacey: We'll just give it the old college try, shall we?",
"Joey: Oh, don't get too close. Ow!",

"Joey: Here, this is your assignment for study hall. I want you to do all the even problems on page 107. And show your work, don't just copy the answers out of the back of the book.",
"Pacey: You know, if I had known the sadistic pleasure you were gonna take out of tutoring me, I never woulda let you have such free reign.",
"Joey: Look, we're gonna spend an hour after school doing math and then we're gonna go back to",
"Pacey: I I know, the Starlight foundation for another afternoon's torture at the hands of Miss Penny Pretty. You do realize how absolutely imperative it is that no one, and I mean no one, find out about our after school activities, because on the sliding scale of embarrassing and decidedly non-butch activities for a teenage male to be involved in, waltzing is right up there with painting your own pottery.",
"Joey: Pacey, do you really think I'm eager to have this information disseminated to the general public?",
"Pacey: Perfect, then were in agreeance.",
"Joey: Exactly.",
"Pacey: No one is to find out.",
"Joey: No one.",
"(Dawson walks up from behind.)",
"Dawson: Find out what?",
"Joey: Nothing.",
"Pacey: No, no we can tell him. It's Dawson, right? (Joey gives Pacey a look) We were we were just discussing the fact that I am really awful at home improvement and decor, right? How are you with a roller?",
"Dawson: I can hold my own?",
"Pacey: Fantastic! Cauce the Pacey J. Witter Memorial addition to the Potter family home is in desperate need of painters and plasterers, all union wages.",
"Dawson: (having a look like that wasn't the secret) Count me in.",
"Pacey: That's good to hear. All right, so Joey? (He motions her to leave.)",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Pacey: Yeah, okay let's do that. (Pacey and Joey walk away.)",
"Joey: See ya.",
"Dawson: Hold on, Pacey. I wanna talk to you for a sec.",
"Pacey: Yes I, uh can't talk at all right now. I'm really trying to stay off of Mr. Milo's top ten most tardy list. Can I can I get ya after school? Yeah, okay.",
"(Computer Lab - Jack is \"chatting\" with Ben Street while Andie sits and watches.)",
"Andie: Have you asked about prom guy yet?",
"Jack: All right, they were never really dating, okay? They just did the whole prom thing as a... as a statement.",
"Andie: Oh, political commitment. I like that, in moderation of course. Well, what else?",
"Jack: Uh, he's a saxophonist, um, huge Charlie Parker fan, all-conference track.",
"Andie: Hmm, sounds hot. What's he look like?",
"Jack: Ah, come on, that's not important.",
"Andie: Well, yeah but he saw you on the web in your uniform. It's only fair.",
"Jack: We're just writing here, it's not like we're going on a date.",
"Andie: Yet.",
"Librarian: (walking by) You know, I dated a guy from the internet once. Hideous.",
"Jack: I'm gonna... I'm gonna get that picture, yeah.",
"Andie: Two. One formal, one casual. No baseball hats, baggy sweaters or other articles of deceiving clothing.",
"(Screen Play Video - Jen walks in looking for Pacey. When she rings the bell, Dawson walks out.)",
"Dawson: Jen, hey what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be off campaigning for prom queen?",
"Jen: Very funny, Dawson. No, actually I'm... I'm working on a project with Pacey. It's a human growth and development thing. Is he here?",
"Dawson: Um, he isn't in till Tuesday.",
"Jen: But he told me that he was working today. I must've gotten him confused.",
"Dawson: That's not too surprising considering what a flake he's been lately. There aren't any especially do-able new faculty members I don't know about, are there?",
"Jen: Pfft. What?",
"Dawson: Well the last time Pacey was acting this weird, I ended up with taped outtakes of him and Miss Jacobs performing tree surgery at the ruins.",
"Jen: What you don't... you don't think that Pacey's older woman fetish has returned with a vengeance, do you?",
"Dawson: I don't know what to think.",
"Jen: But you're definitely thinking something.",
"Dawson: Yeah, I... yesterday I came back to my house in the middle of the day and I found Pacey sprawled out on my bedroom floor.",
"Jen: Wow. Was he alone?",
"Dawson: Yeah, he was playing Crash Bandicoot.",
"Jen: Dawson, I hope that's not one of your clever euphemisms for",
"Dawson: (laughs) No, it's just a video game.",
"Jen: Good.",
"Dawson: But... here's the weird thing, all right? Later that night, I found a condom on my floor, and then when I asked Pacey about it this morning, he and Joey were huddled together like it was some sort of conspiracy.",
"Jen: Has has has, uh he said anything to you? I mean, have you- have you talked at all with him yet?",
"Dawson: No, he he took off and he's been dodging me ever since.",
"Jen: Hmm.",
"(Classroom - Pacey works while Joey watches.)",
"Pacey: Can we take a break, please?",
"Joey: We just took a break. No wonder you're so far behind. I swear, Alexander can sit still longer than you can.",
"Pacey: You don't understand, okay? It's just that recently, whenever I crack a book to study, it's like I automatically want to be doing something else, anything else. I mean, it seems to me that under the previous regimes in my life, every time I was studying, I was given a reward.",
"Joey: I offered you Chex mix. (FUNNY! Bahaha!)",
"Pacey: And I'm not talking about Chex mix. I'm talking about Tamara and I'm talking about Andie. Let's just say that those two ladies, they trained me to acquaint studying with",
"Joey: With what?",
"Pacey: s*x. I acquaint studying with s*x, s*x with studying. Now I get studying, but no s*x, you understand? So it's a little hard to get motivated these days.",
"Joey: So what you're saying is that you're merely the innocent victim in some behavioral psychology experiment gone horribly awry?",
"Pacey: Yeah.",
"Joey: And that you're desperately in need of some able-bodied female to help you provoke those preconditioned Pavlovian homework responses?",
"Pacey: Yes.",
"Joey: That is the worst pick-up line I have ever heard, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Thanks, Toots, but I wasn't hittin' on ya. I'll have you know I have my own prospects, thanks.",
"Joey: (laughs) Like who?",
"Pacey: For right now, they would prefer to remain anonymous, but let me tell you, they've made it clear to me in no uncertain terms that should the mutual desire occur, that they will be more than willing to take care of all my physical needs, you understand?",
"Joey: So is this a potential relationship or are we talking a free-trade agreement?",
"Pacey: All right, listen. If you had the opportunity to be with somebody, no questions asked, no strings attached, no awkward first dates, no waiting by the phone, no any of that. Totally on the surface. 100% casual. What would you do? Would you go for it?",
"Joey: A totally empty, emotionally unfulfilling sexual experience? That sounds great.",
"Pacey: You're not listening to me. I'm being serious, but it's kind of a limited-time offer, so I just thought I'd ask you, what do you think?",
"Joey: Pacey, I think that if you really wanted to be having causal s*x with someone right now, you'd be doing it instead of sitting here having a hypothetical discussion about it. That's what I think.",
"(Computer Lab - Andie and Jack await the picture download.)",
"Andie: Oh, come on already.",
"Jack: Yeah, ok, all right. All right, it's... it's happening.",
"Andie: Ooh, not bad.",
"Jack: You're not kidding.",
"Andie: Jack, did you actually express attraction to a member of the male species?",
"Jack: What? Oh, come on this is completely empirical. I mean, anyone would be attracted to that... extremely attractive guy.",
"Andie: And I sense a blush.",
"Jack: (reads the Instant Message) \"So what do you think?\" He he wants to know what I think.",
"Andie: Okay, so you tell him that that you think that he should travel two towns over.",
"Jack: No, I can't do that.",
"Andie: You can and you will.",
"Jack: Andie, come on, this is way, way too fast.",
"Andie: Okay, so you tell him that you want to meet for coffee. I mean I can go with you, if you want.",
"Jack: Yeah, that will be a lot of fun.",
"Andie: Ok, Jack, agree to meet at some very safe, very well-lit public place. I mean, it's not like we haven't done an extensive background check on the guy to know that he's for real.",
"Jack: Look, I can't, all right? Look at me, I'm shaking.",
"Andie: Fine, Jack. You're just nervous. Here. (Typing for Jack) Um, the picture was great. What can I say? Want to meet tonight. For coffee?",
"Both: (reading Ben's reply) I thought you'd never ask.",
"Andie: Oh!",
"(Screen Play Video - Dawson and Jen decorate the window display.)",
"Jen: Dawson, I don't know how the hell you suckered me into helping you with your centennial Hitchcock window display.",
"Dawson: It needed a woman's touch.",
"Jen: Oh, I suppose that's where Pacey usually comes in, huh?",
"Dawson: No, Pacey's usually in the back sleeping while I'm doing this.",
"Jen: All right. (Looking out the window.) Well, maybe he's rediscovered his work ethic.",
"Dawson: What do you mean?",
"Jen: Pacey, 2 o'clock. (Pointing out the window, her and Dawson notice Pacey crossing the street. Suddenly Joey is seen by his side.) Is that Joey? Dawson, do you have one of those little signs that says 'back in 5?'",
"Dawson: Yeah.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"(Starlight Dance Studio - Pacey and Joey are dancing, somewhat having a good time. Dawson and Jen stand in the doorway looking surprised.)",
"Jen: Ok, so Joey and Pacey are auditioning for Capeside Dinner Theater's version of 'Strictly Ballroom.' Let's get out of here.",
"Dawson: Right behind you.",
"Penny: (stopping Jen and Dawson) Excellent! Two more young people eager to learn the sophisticated art of ballroom dancing. And people say kids these days have no appreciation for the finer things in life.",
"Jen: Actually we're not here to dance.",
"Dawson: We're looking for some friends.",
"Penny: Okay, good. Well, while you look, you dance, okay? Attention, everybody! Looks like we have yet another set of delightful young people joining our class. Must be something in the air.",
"(Pacey and Joey have a \"caught\" look on their face. After the commercial, the two couples dance next to each other.)",
"Pacey: And what, pray tell, are you two doing here?",
"Jen: Just enjoying the fine art of ballroom dancing.",
"Penny: (to Dawson and Jen.) Didn't I say you two would be naturals? (referring to Pacey and Joey) Much better than these two and they've been here all week. But you used to date, didn't you?",
"Jen: Uh, not right now, okay?",
"Penny: I'm right, aren't I? You dated, it didn't work out, but then you got past all your issues and now you actually trust each other, right? See, you can see that in the dancing. You can see that the trust is there. (referring to Pacey and Joey) Now these two, on the other hand, a whole different story. I mean, look at them. Look at their form. Look at the tension in their arms.",
"Pacey: Okay, is there some sort of problem here?",
"Penny: Well, what did I say about rib cages touching?",
"Joey: No, sorry.",
"Penny: Can we do that?",
"Pacey: It's just not gonna happen, all right?",
"Penny: Right, see what I mean? See the hostility, the way they're wary with each other, not to mention the constant bickering and name calling. Now these two clearly are in the early stages of some screwball mating ritual.",
"Pacey: What?",
"Joey: Ok, you've got it wrong, Lady.",
"Penny: Really, I do?",
"Pacey: Oh, completely.",
"Joey: Actually, you could not be more wrong.",
"Penny: There's enough sexual tension here to power a Kiss reunion tour. I can't remember the last time I saw dancing this bad. True.",
"Dawson: Wait a minute, just because they can't dance you think that they're...",
"Penny: Well, it's this theory that I've developed based on years of experience. If people dance that badly, then they're usually hot for each other. The dancing doesn't lie. (To the class) All right, people. Let's take it from the top!",
"(Gram's House - Andie enters Jack's room where he is pacing nervously.)",
"Andie: Hey, Mrs. Ryan let me in. Is that what you're wearing?",
"Jack: Good night, Andie.",
"Andie: No, I just like you better in blue. I mean, you look fine, better than fine, you always look fine, I mean Marky Mark fine...",
"Jack: Yeah, all right, I sense a pep talk coming on.",
"Andie: Ok, Jack. Look, I'm your sister and I love you and your romantic future is vitally important to me, because if I wind up an embittered old maid I'm coming to live with you and your boyfriend.",
"Jack: So you're fairly certain that I'm actually gonna have a boyfriend?",
"Andie: Sure.",
"Jack: It hasn't occurred to you that this whole online thing could be a complete disaster?",
"Andie: Okay, Jack. Worst case scenario, you show up, you meet each other, you hate each other, you drink your mochachinos and you go your separate ways. I mean, that's not gonna happen, Jack. I have a really good feeling about this.",
"Jack: I'm glad someone does.",
"Andie: Jack, there's no need to be nervous, I mean, Ben obviously likes you.",
"Jack: I don't even know Ben. You know, Ben doesn't know me.",
"Andie: Thus the reason for having coffee.",
"Jack: Andie, this is different. This is a whole new level of my life that I don't know if I'm ready for. When I walk through that door and I say hello to this guy, my entire life is gonna be different. I'm not just gonna be telling the world that I'm gay. I'm actually gonna be gay.",
"Andie: Jack, you'll be gay anyway. I mean, if you don't go you'll be gay and without a boyfriend.",
"Jack: Yeah.",
"Andie: Ok.",
"(Starlight Dance Studio - Penny is speaking to the class.)",
"Penny: Ok, people, we're gonna play a little game. I want you to consider this musical partners instead of musical chairs. (pairing people together to dance) I want you two, you two, you two, you two, you two Thank you, you two. (She pairs Dawson with Pacey.)",
"Pacey: What? No, I think you must've made some sort of mistake here...",
"Penny: Come on, children. Play nice. (to the class) Ok, we are going to dance happily, joyously, enthusiastically because we love to dance! Now when you hear the music stop and I yell switch, I want you to stop dancing and reach for the nearest available partner, all right?",
"(Jen and Joey are paired together also. The scene cuts back and forth between Joey and Jen and Pacey and Dawson.)",
"Jen: So, when did you and Pacey discover your mutual love of ballroom dancing.",
"Joey: Obviously just moments before you and Dawson did.",
"Dawson: I can't get over how weird it was to see you in my room the other day. What's going on?",
"Pacey: What? Not everybody's got the dazzling array of electronics available to them in their bedroom that you do.",
"Dawson: And that's the only reason that you were in my house when I wasn't there.",
"Pacey: No, no, no, there's always the lure of the Leery kitchen which, I have to say, has kind of lost its luster in Mitch's reign of terror.",
"Dawson: So what was the condom for?",
"Pacey: What?",
"Dawson: The condom I found in my room.",
"Penny: Switch!",
"Pacey: Excuse me for a second... (he trades partners. Now Pacey is dancing with Jen and Joey with Dawson.)",
"Pacey: We're dead. He found the condom.",
"Jen: I know, I've already talked to him about it. I wouldn't worry.",
"Pacey: Really? You don't think Dawson's gonna mind that we've been mapping out each other's erogenous zones between his sheets?",
"Jen: The question's mute. He's not on to us.",
"Pacey: He's not?",
"Jen: No. Well, at least he's not on to me. He's cast somebody else as the female lead.",
"Dawson: So when did you discover your love for ballroom dancing?",
"Joey: I read about some scholarship that they were having.",
"Dawson: Scholarship?",
"Joey: And I needed a partner, so...",
"Dawson: So, why'd you ask Pacey? Why didn't you just ask me?",
"Joey: Pacey came to me first. He needed help with math, I needed help with this. That's what friends do, Dawson. They help each other.",
"Dawson: That's all you guys are is friends? (Joey nods)",
"Penny: And switch!",
"Pacey: Excuse me, just for a second. I need to talk to you.",
"(Pacey is now with Joey, Dawson back with Jen.)",
"Joey: What is wrong with him?",
"Pacey: Uh, nothing really. It's just, um, Dawson seems to think that we're doing it.",
"Joey: What?",
"Pacey: Well, you know, having s*x. Getting to know each other in the biblical sense, uh...",
"Joey: Pacey, that's impossible. And he would never think that.",
"Pacey: No, not under normal circumstances, but in this case, I think certain events were perhaps misconstrued...",
"Joey: What events?",
"Penny: Switch!",
"Pacey: Well, I just...",
"(Dawson pulls Pacey away and the two dance.)",
"Dawson: Ok, so do you wanna just tell me what's going on?",
"Pacey: It's not what you think, Dawson, not even close.",
"Dawson: How do you know what I think?",
"Pacey: Well because, man, it's written all over your face, ok? Yes, me and Joey have been spending a lot of time together recently because we've been here trying to learn how to ballroom dance and then she's teaching me a little trigonometry. You know what's much more interesting to me is that of all the possible blonde and brunette combinations of women that you and I both know, the first one that popped into your mind is Joey. Now why is that, do you think?",
"Dawson: Pacey, you're not going to get out of this by attempting to psycho-analyze me.",
"Pacey: I'm just asking a simple question, Dawson. You and Joey... she's not your girlfriend anymore.",
"Dawson: You're right, she's not.",
"Pacey: Right, so then why are we having this conversation? You see where I'm going with this? I mean, you're the same guy who told me a couple weeks ago that the two of you just needed to go your separate ways.",
"Dawson: Yeah, we do need to go our separate ways. It just never occurred to me",
"Pacey: That what? That she would actually go her separate way, too? Or perhaps it didn't occur to you that her separate way would include a stopover at me, is that what it is? God, man! This is the way it always is with you! You talk and talk, but you don't listen to yourself. You say you're over her, but you're not. They're just words, they don't mean anything to you.",
"Dawson: You don't know what you're talking about.",
"Pacey: Look at that girl, Dawson. (he motions to Joey who is dancing with some older man) Just take a good look. She's a freaking goddess, man. How long did you think it was gonna be before some guy comes along and is interested in her? I mean, really, dude! And when that happens, what are you gonna do?",
"Dawson: I'm just gonna take it all as it comes.",
"Pacey: You're gonna take it as it comes. Oh great, well perhaps you should start figuring out right now because the guy that comes along is not gonna be your best friend and he's not gonna ask for your permission. The guy that comes along is gonna take one look at that woman and then just cut right in on ya.",
"Dawson: What are you hiding, Pacey?",
"Pacey: What?",
"Dawson: All this analysis of my love life doesn't change the fact that you haven't answered my original question. Why did I find that condom?",
"Pacey: (turns away from Dawson) Why do I bother?",
"Penny: Switch!",
"(Pacey walks away. Jen follows. Coatroom - Jen and Pacey search the coats for their own.)",
"Pacey: God, I don't believe that guy!",
"Jen: Pacey, chill out.",
"Pacey: Here we are again, though I have to say the story line is starting to stretch the limits of believability.",
"Jen: Meaning what?",
"Pacey: Meaning that we're two red-blooded American teenagers who, weeks ago, made the enlightened decisions not to keep our bodies to ourselves and what do we have to show for it? Nothing. Nothing, how is that possible? I mean, I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this out and frankly, I'm just drawing a blank.",
"Jen: Pacey, it's for about a million different reasons.",
"Pacey: Really? Do you think you could hit me with a couple so it would make me feel better?",
"Jen: Ok, how about the fact that our mothers teach us to be embarrassed about s*x... or that we live in a country that thinks violence is cool but gets squeamish whenever two people under legal voting age start using the correct terms for each others body parts. (Pacey puts his arm around Jen and brings his head close to hers.) Pacey, is this your not-so-subtle way of telling me that you're ready for a return to Witch Island?",
"Pacey: Maybe it was the dancing, or perhaps it's just the romantic setting of this coatroom, but I am definitely getting that witchy feeling.",
"(Coffee Shop - Jack walks up and sees Ben through the window. He hesitates, then grabs for the door. Starlight Dance Studio - Joey and Dawson are walking into the coat closet.)",
"Dawson: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you of anything, but something really strange is going on here. If Pacey's not sleeping with you, he's definitely sleeping with somebody.",
"(As they enter the closet they find Pacey and Jen sitting in the corner making out. Joey looks shocked. Dawson chuckles.)",
"Dawson: Whoa, what do we have here?",
"(Jen and Pacey quickly stop.)",
"Pacey: It's... nothing, right?",
"Jen: Yeah, nothing.",
"Dawson: Doesn't look like nothing.",
"Pacey: Believe me, man, we've done exhaustive research in this area. It's nothing.",
"Jen: Pacey and I are just friends.",
"Joey: Is that what the kids are calling it these days? You guys are so stupid. You're both gonna get hurt by this.",
"Pacey: Nobody is gonna get hurt by this.",
"Jen: We both agreed that neither of us have our emotions in it.",
"Joey: And you're proud of that fact?",
"Jen: Joey, we were just messing around.",
"Joey: Dawson...",
"Dawson: They lost me at nothing.",
"Joey: Pacey, this isn't you, I mean, Jen maybe you're trying to prove something to somebody about...",
"Pacey: What? Hey, slow down, this was as much my decision as it was hers, okay?",
"Joey: So is that why you named your boat 'True Love?' Because you think it's okay for casual acquaintances or even friends to just, you know, use each other as scratching posts.",
"Pacey: I knew you weren't gonna understand.",
"Joey: You know what? I understand. I understand just fine. (She walks out. Dawson just smiles at Pacey and Jen and follows Joey out.)",
"Jen: I've never in my life seen somebody so worked up over just a kiss.",
"Pacey: I don't think it was just the kiss.",
"Jen: What do you mean?",
"Pacey: I mean that Joey knows about our arrangement.",
"Jen: How could she possibly know, Pacey?",
"Pacey: Because I went to her for some hypothetical advice, but when she saw us kissing, I'm pretty sure she figured out that it wasn't so hypothetical.",
"Jen: You went to Joey for advice about us?",
"Pacey: Yeah I know, not so smart, huh?",
"Jen: Smart or not smart, it's just funny you went to her.",
"Pacey: Well, I wouldn't say that I went to her. I mean, she just kind of happened to be there. We were studying...",
"Jen: Can I ask you something, Pacey? What is it about her?",
"Pacey: What?",
"Jen: She's obviously got something that makes boys in emotional turmoil just flock to her.",
"Pacey: Come again?",
"Jen: Come on, Dawson's the same way. Whatever small problem got to him, he went straight to Joey.",
"Pacey: So who else would you have me talk to? I can't exactly go to Andie with something like this, so I guess I'm supposed to commune with Deputy Doug, then?",
"Jen: Dawson. Why couldn't you just go to Dawson? Unless, of course, you don't feel comfortable talking to him about your s*x life, considering...",
"Pacey: Considering what?",
"Jen: That your current girl Friday used to be his.",
"Pacey: Ok, now correct me if I'm wrong, but Dawson Leery didn't actually know about you and I until, what, two minutes ago.",
"Jen: I'm not talking about us.",
"Pacey: What, Joey? This has nothing to do with Joey!",
"Jen: Pacey, I saw the way that you overreacted to Dawson. I saw the way that Joey overreacted to us. I know that you're having trouble in math these days, but it doesn't take Einstein to get the sum total of these two overreactions.",
"Pacey: You're gonna have to explain this one to me because I gotta be missing something here. You're talking about Joey Potter, right? The one who can't walk into the same room with me without gagging, huh? That Joey Potter? There's nothing going on between us.",
"Jen: No, Pacey. There's nothing between us. No matter what we do, it's not gonna work out between us.",
"Pacey: No, it's not, is it?",
"Jen: No. Are you disappointed?",
"Pacey: Yeah, I'm disappointed. And at the same time...I think I'm also a little relieved.",
"Jen: Me too. I'm gonna go.",
"Pacey: Okay.",
"Jen: See ya, Pacey. (She walks out, but immediately walks back in.) You know what, Pacey? Thanks for nothing. (She kisses him on the cheek.)",
"Gram's Kitchen - Jack enters and finds Andie sitting a the table.)",
"Jack: What are you still doing here?",
"Andie: Anxiously awaiting to be regaled with first date stories.",
"Jack: Well they tell me in order to have first date stories you actually have to have a first date.",
"Andie: What happened?",
"Jack: I can't get into this with you. You're just gonna get on me about how I handled it.",
"Andie: Jack, that's not fair. You're always the one who's scraping me off the concrete. Can't I return the favor?",
"Jack: I didn't even go in, okay? I panicked. I got there, looked through the window and I saw him sitting there, waiting for me. Then I saw this couple, this girl and this guy, and when I saw them it... when I saw them, at that moment, I didn't wanna be me. I wanted to be them, and I got so upset that I just left. So I guess when it comes right down to it, I'm just not brave enough to walk through the door.",
"Andie: Jack, you are so brave. I mean, your entire life you have been nothing but brave.",
"Jack: Not this time. I mean, I keep taking these baby steps, but I'm not getting anywhere, you know? I'm not getting any braver.",
"Andie: Don't be so hard on yourself. I mean, that's what fear is for. It's- it's life's way of telling us that we're not ready for certain things.",
"Jack: Aren't you the same girl who spent the past week dragging me kicking and screaming towards my romantic destiny?",
"Andie: Yeah, but I know when to push and when not to. It's a little something I picked up from annoyingsister.com. Anyway Jack, when it's right, you'll know it. And that's when you'll walk through that door. When you're ready.",
"(Capeside - Dawson and Joey are walking down the street.)",
"Dawson: If it makes you feel any better, what happened was inevitable.",
"Joey: What was?",
"Dawson: What we just saw. All right, look at it from a storytelling perspective. Pacey's brooding, disillusioned, tough guy persona was destined to collide with Jen's fake sexual bravado. It was inevitable.",
"Joey: Dawson, you're the ultimate romantic! How could you not be more upset about this?",
"Dawson: If Jen and Pacey want to mess around in a coatroom, that's their business.",
"Joey: But Dawson, you don't understand what's going on. They made some sort of casual s*x pact. They're just using each other.",
"Dawson: Joey, we're all guilty of that. At least they're being up front about it.",
"Joey: So you buy into this whole raging hormones theory? So you think it's okay for two people who aren't in love to just let their sexual impulses run wild?",
"Dawson: No, what I'm saying is if Jen and Pacey made some sort of agreement, I don't think they made it because they wanted s*x. I think they wanted comfort.",
"Joey: I'm sure that's all they were doing in your bed, Dawson. Providing each other with comfort.",
"Dawson: It's not impossible. It's all you and I ever did. Aw, give 'em a break, Jo. They're just lonely.",
"Joey: Dawson, being lonely is no excuse to just throw yourself at the first available warm body. I mean, could you sleep with someone that you didn't love?",
"Dawson: No. And neither could you. But I do understand the impulse.",
"Joey: What impulse?",
"Dawson: The impulse to... to put you hand out and want someone there at the end of your reach, to to want someone to be close to, to want to kiss or touch, even if it's wrong.",
"Joey: That's just it, Dawson. It's wrong. If a kiss is just some purely physical thing, and if there's nothing else behind it, what's the point?",
"Dawson: The point is that you can't control those feelings, Jo, even if they're wrong, they're there. They're always there. You can understand that, can't you?",
"Joey: You know, I forgot my coat. I I better go inside and get it.",
"Dawson: Okay.",
"Joey: Good night.",
"Dawson: Good night, Joey.",
"(Starlight Dance Studio - Joey is walking out with her coat when she notices Pacey sitting at a table. She goes to leave, but then turns back and goes to him.)",
"Joey: I forgot my coat.",
"Pacey: Well yeah, you ran out of there in a bit of a hurry, didn't ya? Look, if it makes you feel any better, we never actually slept together. I mean, not even close.",
"Joey: It's none of my business what you guys did or didn't do. I'm sorry I overreacted.",
"Pacey: Yeah, you did overreact, didn't you?",
"Joey: Don't act so smug. I'm not saying you're right, or that I approve of what you guys are doing.",
"Pacey: Were doing. I'd say the time limit on the limited time offer has probably run out now.",
"Joey: Oh.",
"Pacey: So, you got your coat. What made you come in here?",
"Joey: Dawson. He convinced me to take pity on your poor, misguided, testosterone-impaired self.",
"Pacey: He did that, did he?",
"Joey: 'Fraid so.",
"Pacey: Man, guess I owe him another one, huh?",
"Joey: You do. Come on, let's go.",
"Penny: Hey, not so fast, you two. There's a class about to start.",
"Joey: I think we've done enough dancing for a lifetime.",
"Pacey: Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not get too hasty here. We've still got a scholarship to work for, right?",
"Penny: Oh, about that scholarship. Things have been kind of tight here at the Starlight.",
"Joey: There's no scholarship?",
"Penny: No, but what I can offer you is 6 months of free dance lessons.",
"Joey: And what would we do with those?",
"Penny: The cha-cha, the rumba, the merengue, when you're ready, the tango. It's the dance of love.",
"Joey: Thanks, but no thanks.",
"Pacey: Come on, think about this for a second, don't be too hasty. We may have found our calling in this dance studio.",
"Joey: Give it up, Pacey. You definitely were not that good.",
"(They leave, laughing. The End.)"

"Pacey: My parents? No, they definitely don't dance in the kitchen.",

"Dawson: Sorry, Joey tonight's activities were meant to calm your nerves, not agitate them.",
"Joey: Well, that's impossible. I mean, this Bed and Breakfast has been open for a day, a very costly Bed and Breakfast mind you, and there are no guests. Have either one of you checked the reservations list? There's not a name to be found, not a one.",

"Joey: Potter Bed and Breakfast, can I help you? (her face falls) No, actually I'm perfectly content with my long distance service, thank you. But how 'bout you? I mean, thinking about a vacation? Come to the Cape, take a room at our lovely... She hung up on me. A tele-marketer hung up on me.",
"Pacey: Come on, Jo, keep the faith.",
"Joey: Is that all you have to say, considering that you were the primary force that escorted Bessie and I down this road to economic ruin?",
"Pacey: All I did was figure out a way to kick in some free labor.",
"Joey: You, Pacey Witter, single-handedly encouraged this pipe dream. I mean, you should know better than going around inspiring financially and spiritually bereft people, people who have no business being inspired.",
"(There's a knock at the door. Joey stops hounding Pacey, and again, composes herself. She gives the room a once over, to make sure it's neat.)",
"Joey: (pointing at Pacey's feet on the table) Feet. (Joey composes herself again and opens the door, finding a couple standing outside.) Can I help you?",
"Woman: Hi, we were wondering...",
"Joey: (hopefully) Yes?",
"Man: Have you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior? God loves you. (He hands her a pamphlet.)",
"(Capeside High Hallway - Jen is walking down the stairs when Henry catches up to her.)",
"Henry: Hey.",
"Jen: Hey! Stranger, where you been all week",
"Henry: Working.",
"Jen: Miss Freckling must be keeping you busy, I don't think I've seen you since Cape Fest.",
"Henry: Well, actually I've been working at 'The Bass'.",
"Jen: My favorite restaurant. Do you work there full time?",
"Henry: No, just a week-long gig. Miss Freckling heard that they had some roof problems so I offered my services.",
"Jen: That's an expensive place. They better pay you well.",
"Henry: They did, but instead of cash I opted for a free dinner.",
"Jen: The implication being?",
"Henry: That you and I are gonna meet there.",
"Jen: That's funny, cause I don't recall being asked.",
"Henry: You weren't. See, I finally figured you out, Jen. Given the opportunity to say no, you do. So, I'm not giving you the opportunity.",
"Jen: But then you're also not giving me the opportunity to say yes.",
"Henry: Would you? Say yes?",
"Jen: Probably not.",
"Henry: So I'm not asking.",
"Jen: Henry, we've been over this before. Dating is a consensual activity.",
"Henry: Don't get ahead of yourself, I never called it a date. I said we'd eat dinner, you know, get to know each other.",
"Jen: I've been around the block enough to spot a date in sheep's clothing. Henry: Do you really think a kid like me would deem to consider himself worthy of dating a woman of your silk?",
"Jen: Ilk. It... it's ilk.",
"Henry: See my point? What's it gonna be?",
"Jen: It's gonna be let me think about it.",
"Henry: Now we're talking.",
"Jen: Yeah, but I didn't say yes.",
"Henry: But you didn't say no. I'll see you 'round, I'm late for class.",
"Jen: Yeah, but I didn't say yes.",
"(Andie sits with her iBook and a bunch of papers outside of some classroom. Jack walks up.)",
"Jack: Hey, my sister the future bureaucrat. How goes it?",
"Andie: Uhh, to start with I have 42 ads, 10 bios and a director's note that I have to turn into a play bill by Monday. In addition to which, I have to pick up the posters, hang them around town, get the tickets to the community box office and check to make sure the local paper's running our ad next week. Oh, and did I mention that I'm a student with a little obligation called homework?",
"Jack: (looking at her iBook with a face) And you're not very familiar with this layout program, are you?",
"Andie: What gave that away?",
"Jack: Each of your words are in a different font.",
"Andie: It's a style choice.",
"Jack: And upside down.",
"Andie: It's a bold style choice.",
"Jack: Yeah, right. (He takes the computer from her.)",
"Andie: What are you doing?",
"Jack: Helping out a wayward sister. Where are the bios?",
"Andie: In there.",
"Jack: I don't know how you keep all that together. I mean, personally I wouldn't be able to handle all this.",
"Andie: You would if you had a supportive family to come home to every night.",
"Jack: Thanks, but I'm happy where I am.",
"Andie: You couldn't be happy at home?",
"Jack: Not with him there, no.",
"Andie: Dad misses you.",
"Jack: Yeah, I'm sure he does. All those father-son heart-to-hearts we used to have...",
"Andie: It'll be different.",
"Jack: Okay, so he knows that I don't want to move home so he enlists you to speak for him. That's what this is, isn't it?",
"Andie: (gathering her stuff) You know what, Jack, thanks for you help, but I can manage on my own. See ya.",
"(Loan Office - Joey and Bessie are speaking with a woman.)",
"Woman: Bess, I gotta be honest with you. I spoke to our manager about you, I made a personal plea. But you're a single mother with multiple dependents, and an income-to-debt ratio that doesn't even qualify for our most liberal profile.",
"Bessie: Is there something you could suggest? Some solutions?",
"Woman: Well, you could do what a lot of small businesses do, and that's leverage your assets.",
"Joey: Unfortunately, our Microsoft options have been called and our yacht is in hock.",
"Woman: Have you thought about taking out a mortgage?",
"Joey: On the house?",
"Woman: It is paid for, free and clear.",
"Bessie: Do you have an application?",
"(Potter Bed and Breakfast - Joey and Bessie have just arrived home and they make their way into the house.)",
"Bessie: I'm just thinking about it.",
"Joey: Bess, it's our house, where we live, the only connection we have to Mom. How could you even think about it?",
"Bessie: Joey, everything takes longer and costs more than we expect. If there's a way to take a little out, then maybe we should.",
"Joey: Well, you can't do something like this without my approval, and I'm not giving it to you.",
"Bessie: Actually, I can. I'm an adult, you're a sixteen year old girl.",
"Joey: Bessie, I am your sister, a part of this family. If this thing doesn't work out, I lose my house, the only tangible connection that I have...",
"Bessie: She left it to me, Joey. Just like she left me in charge around here until you turn eighteen. That's a responsibility you can't understand.",
"Joey: I know all about responsibility.",
"Bessie: Do you? Because until you know what it's like to humiliate yourself by asking some trust-fund snob who looked down on you in High School for money, I don't want to talk about it with you anymore.",
"(Bessie goes inside. Joey walks back down the steps and finds Dawson in her yard with his camcorder.)",
"Joey: Dawson?",
"Dawson: Hey. I figure, even if my film career is in no man's land, I can still at least put this thing to good use, right?",
"Joey: What are you doing?",
"Dawson: Making a virtual tour of Capeside's newest B&B. If we post this thing on the web, we get it to all the Cape Cod visitor information sites...",
"Joey: Dawson, we don't exactly have the money for such frivolous things known as advertising.",
"Dawson: Which is where this comes in.",
"Joey: Look, I really appreciate the offer but...",
"Dawson: No buts, Jo. This is actually a really good idea. I mean, look at this place. Who wouldn't want to come stay here if they could see it from every angle and meet the charming proprietors beforehand?",
"[Inside the house - Joey sits at the kitchen table with a scowl on her face as Dawson tries to film her.)",
"Dawson: Uh, Joey if you could try to look welcoming that would be great, because anxiety really doesn't fit in with this whole homey come-stay-with-us thing we're going for.",
"Joey: Dawson, I do toilets and I do windows. I draw the line at faux perkiness.",
"Dawson: Okay...",
"Pacey: Let me tell ya, kiddies, we are looking good. Looking good.",
"Joey: What canary did you swallow?",
"Pacey: Well, after having felt just a teensy, weensy little bit of guilt over having wrongfully inspired this establishment, I took it upon myself to expose the Potter B&B to the outside world via the mighty pen of Mr. Frederick Fricke.",
"Dawson: Fred who?",
"Pacey: Fricke. He's, I don't know, he's like the Roger Ebert of the B&B world. Writes for Travel, Travel and Leisure, and most importantly, he writes for the New York Times travel section, the next edition of which will have nothing but glowing things to say about this establishment, because one Mr. Fred Fricke is frequenting here.",
"Joey: He's coming here?",
"Pacey: Oh yeah, he's on his way back to Boston right now. Happened to fit into his plans, I gave him a call...",
"Joey: Are you insane? Have you seen the half-finished room? Have you tasted Bessie's blueberry pancakes? We're not ready for something like this! Not to mention that we don't have any guests...",
"Pacey: I beg to differ, we do have guests. Not only do we have guests, we have the perfect guests for the perfect heartwarming weekend at your local B&B. Guests, if you would, please? (Grams enters with Jen, Jack and Andie) We have the sweet, God-fearing grandmother here to help her grandkids try to reconnect to the magical Creekside village where she frolicked as a little girl.",
"Andie: I'll need an 8am wake up call.",
"Jack: I take my OJ freshly squeezed.",
"Jen: Black coffee for me, and God help you if you wake me up before noon.",
"Pacey: (Mitch and Gale enter) And just to make sure that our home is filled with happy, boisterous people, we have a loving married couple here to spend a romantic weekend getaway.",
"(Outside the house - Joey and Dawson have pulled Pacey outside.) Joey: One minor detail, Pacey, don't you think you could've asked me first?",
"Dawson: You think you could've left my parents out of it?",
"Joey: It was reckless.",
"Dawson: And insensitive.",
"Pacey: Okay, one at a time, shall we? Starting with you. (to Dawson) I only asked Mitch to help, okay? It was his idea to bring Gale along.",
"Dawson: His idea?",
"Pacey: Yes, his idea. So if you want to tear somebody's head off, why don't you try the guy that sired you? (To Joey) And as for you, how could you possibly be so ungrateful after just having witnessed an outpouring of love and support that would've made George Bayley proud?",
"Joey: There is nothing wonderful about my life right now, okay? (handing the phone to Pacey) So I don't care how you do it, but you get Mr. Fricke on the phone and you tell him that there is no room at the inn.",
"Pacey: Why?",
"Joey: Because you don't show a movie reviewer a rough cut, and you don't serve a food critic your first stab at a new recipe. Especially if that recipe is your last chance of keeping a roof over your head.",
"Pacey: What?",
"Dawson: What do you mean, last chance?",
"Joey: Bessie is thinking about taking out a mortgage.",
"Dawson: What? A mortgage? You can't let her risk the house!",
"Joey: Dawson, does the term \"legal guardian\" mean anything to you?",
"Pacey: Umm, I'm sorry, Jo. I'll make this right right now, okay?",
"(A knock is heard. Joey goes inside and finds a man standing in the entry way.)",
"Joey: (sarcastically) Don't tell me, the Fuller Brush Man?",
"Mr. Fricke: Hardly. (handing her a card) Fred Fricke, Bed and Breakfast Quarterly. Is now a bad time?",
"Joey: No. Not at all.",
"(Potter B&B - The Honeymoon Suite. Dawson walks in on his parents who are unpacking.)",
"Gale: Hi, Honey.",
"Dawson: So you two are staying in the honeymoon suite?",
"Gale: Well, we're just here to help out Joey and Bessie, Honey. Later tonight, after the critic is asleep, your Dad is gonna go home and crash.",
"Dawson: Don't you think it might be a little confusing, even hurtful to the child of a divorce to see his parents playacting a happy marriage?",
"Mitch: Like your Mother said, Dawson, we're just here to help out.",
"Dawson: Dad, Pacey asked you to help out. He didn't say anything about Mom.",
"Mitch: Easy, Dawson. Listen, you're seeing something dark and complex here. There's nothing there. Dawson: You know what I'm seeing? I'm seeing two people who don't know what the hell they want, and I'm sick of it. (He storms out.)",
"(Potter B&B - Mr. Fricke's room. Mr. Fricke looks around the room as if he's in a barn.)",
"Joey: So, is there anything else I can get for you?",
"Mr. Fricke: Heat.",
"Joey: I beg your pardon?",
"Mr. Fricke: It's freezing in here.",
"Joey: Well, that's because we're an environmentally friendly inn. We like to conserve our natural resources, not to mention save on our energy bills.",
"Mr. Fricke: What? No en suite commode?",
"Joey: Excuse me?",
"Mr. Fricke: Where is the bathroom?",
"Joey: Oh, just down the hall. It's communal.",
"Mr. Fricke: I see.",
"Joey: Well, enjoy your stay. Um, we serve high tea at five o'clock and breakfast tomorrow morning starting at seven. Enjoy your stay.",
"Mr. Fricke: You said that already.",
"Joey: You're right, I did. My mistake.",
"(Potter B&B - Jack and Andie's room. They are unpacking their things.)",
"Jack: Is it just me or is it cold in here?",
"Andie: So, you think we can successfully impersonate brother and sister this weekend?",
"Jack: I don't see why not.",
"Andie: Jack, I don't know how you do it. I can never get a good night's sleep if I'm not in my own bed. (Unpacks)",
"Jack: God, Andie. Listen to me. I get the message, okay? If Dad wants me to move back home that's fine, but you're not going to spend the next couple of days waging a subtle campaign to wear me down.",
"Andie: Who me?",
"Jack: I'm serious. Any mention of home, house, any kind of dwelling where people live, I'm gonna go stay in Jen's room. You understand?",
"(Potter B&B - Living room. Bessie and Joey whisper in the corner, looking at Mr. Fricke who is sitting on the couch.)",
"Bessie: Does he look like he's having a good time?",
"Joey: Does a lemon ever look like its having a good time?",
"Bessie: Be nice, Joey. He's just doing his job.",
"Joey: And we trust our entire future.",
"Bessie: Where's Pacey anyway? He said he'd help me turn down the beds.",
"Joey: He's in the bathroom, counting animals two by two.",
"Bessie: Why? What happened?",
"Joey: What else? A flood. The toilet overflowed.",
"Potter B&B - Bathroom. Pacey is mopping.) Pacey: Note to self. Career options. Delete hotel management.",
"(Outside Potter B&B - Dawson is at the dock looking out over the water. Mitch walks up.)",
"Mitch: You're right. I didn't ask her here for just any reason. Your Mother and I have enough of the same friends for me to know what's going on in her life. And she's hitting a wall, Dawson. Every network, large and small, it seems, is passing her by for a job.",
"Dawson: She never told me that.",
"Mitch: She didn't tell me.",
"Dawson: Well, no offense, Dad, but I'm her son. You're her divorced husband.",
"Mitch: I'm her friend. And I want her to know that, whatever our history, I am there for her. I'm sorry if that threatens you.",
"Dawson: It doesn't threaten me.",
"Mitch: Well, it does something.",
"Dawson: It pisses me off.",
"Mitch: It pisses you off that your parents have a cordial post-divorce relationship?",
"Dawson: No, it pisses me off that I don't know what to believe anymore, okay? You're married, you're divorced. You're enemies, you're friends. What?",
"Mitch: We are trying very hard to be friends right now.",
"Dawson: Well, it's a little late for that, don't you think?",
"Mitch: That's where you're wrong. There's no time constraint about how long you can care about someone, no limit on how much. Especially if they've been so much a part of your life already.",
"(Potter B&B - Living Room. Mr. Fricke sits between Joey and Bessie who are overcompensating in excuses.)",
"Bessie: Now, this is our first full week of operation, Fred.",
"Joey: So we're still trying to work out all the kinks.",
"Bessie: I think our family style approach is what sets us apart form all the competition, Fred. (She places her hand on his knee. Both Fricke and Joey look at her hand there.) Pacey: Bathroom's almost fixed!",
"Joey: We have great people working for us.",
"Bessie: Fred, have you met our on-site handyman, Pacey Witter? Mr. Fricke: No, I haven't had the pleasure.",
"Pacey: Rest assured, folks. I have everything under control now. Taken care of.",
"(A thud is heard overhead and a cloud of smoke pours out of the vent.)",
"Mr. Fricke: You might want to have Handyman Witter check the furnace.",
"(Joey bangs on the furnace.)",
"Bessie: Hey, we're in luck. Fricke went into town to grab dinner.",
"Joey: Shoot.",
"Bessie: I don't think swearing at the thing's gonna help.",
"Joey: Oh, and flirting with it might?",
"Bessie: What's that supposed to mean?",
"Joey: Nothing. I'm just a child, remember? I'll just stick with the little things, you know, like how we're going to prevent everyone we know from freezing to death in what's supposed to be the coldest night of the year?",
"Bessie: You know, you're certainly behaving like a child. What is your problem?",
"Joey: Bessie, do you even remember what it's like to be sixteen? Is it like some far off planet?",
"Bessie: I remember.",
"Joey: Because it's like you have all the responsibilities of an adult, but none of the authority. You can't vote, you can't drink, you can't make any definitive decisions about your life.",
"Bessie: You think getting older automatically gives you more say in your life? Get real, Joey. You think I wanted to be stuck here at 26 taking care of two kids by myself?",
"Joey: Well, I guess I missed the part where you begged and pleaded with Bodie to stay.",
"Bessie: I ask him to come home every chance I get, but he knows we can't afford it. Trust me, this is now how I planned for my life to turn out.",
"Joey: Well, I'm really sorry if Alexander are putting a such a crimp in your lifestyle, but with any luck, I won't be here much longer to trouble you.",
"Bessie: That's not what I meant and you know it.",
"Joey: That's certainly what it sounded like.",
"Bessie: You know, for a girl who supposedly wants to leave Capeside as soon as she can, you sure are putting a hell of a lot of effort into this place.",
"Joey: You're right. Maybe it's just time I stopped.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"(Outside the Potter B&B - Pacey is chopping wood. Mitch walks up.)",
"Mitch: Whose head was that?",
"Pacey: Ah, not to worry, Coach. If anybody's head belongs on the chopping block, it's mine.",
"Mitch: What makes you say that?",
"Pacey: Oh, let me count the ways, shall we? For one, it was my idea to refurbish the old furnace instead of just buying a new one.",
"Mitch: Guilty as charged.",
"Pacey: Yeah, and this is the one you're really gonna love. It was my idea to bring Herr Fricke down to our little weekend in the country.",
"Mitch: You did?",
"Pacey: Yes. I did. Let me tell ya, it was no easy feat, okay? I had to pull out all the stops on that guy, use all my dazzling people skills. And for what? A comedy of errors that's probably going to put the Sisters Potter in the poorhouse.",
"Mitch: You know what I think? I think that if I were Joey and Bessie, I would consider myself very lucky to have you in my life.",
"Pacey: Why? Everything and everybody that I touch, I screw up, all right? You're aware of the Midas touch, right? You've heard of that? Okay, well the Midas touch, whatever that is, I got the opposite.",
"Mitch: Don't be so sure. I mean, look at you. You're still at it, right? You haven't given up. Pace, instead of dwelling on everything that's gone wrong this weekend, so far, um... think about what you contributed. You've put a lot of selfless work into this place, right? That is the real question. Listen, that goes to the heart of who Pacey Witter is.",
"Pacey: What?",
"Mitch: What makes you care so much.",
"(Leery Residence - Dawson is rummaging in a closet.) Gale: The heavy wool blankets are on the top shelf.",
"Dawson: I got it. Hey, Mom, I'm sorry.",
"Gale: For what, Honey?",
"Dawson: For blowing up at you before. I should've been a little more sympathetic. It's just the rules of engagement keep changing on me.",
"Gale: Tell me about it. The post-divorce landscape is like an emotional battlefield.",
"Dawson: What I don't understand is that you and Dad seem to really like each other, still care about each other.",
"Gale: Well we do, Honey. Which is what makes the knowledge that were better off apart even more difficult to bear. I mean, think about your own life.",
"Dawson: What about it?",
"Gale: You and Joey. The decision to break up it isn't made in one sitting. It's cumulative. You have to re-decide over and over each day.",
"(Gram's House - Jack and Andie walk into the kitchen.)",
"Jack: Okay, I know there's a space heater in here somewhere.",
"Andie: (eyeing a note on the fridge) Hey, what's Jack Milk?",
"Jack: What?",
"Andie: It says, 'get more Jack Milk.'",
"Jack: Oh, that's whole milk. You know, Grams is skim, Jen's one percent.",
"Andie: Ah everybody gets their own milk.",
"Jack: Yeah, Grams isn't commenting, but she runs a tight ship.",
"Andie: (noticing a HUGE mug on the counter) Coffee much?",
"Jack: No.",
"Andie: What's this about?",
"Jack: That's an inside joke, it's kind of hard to explain.",
"Andie: It's okay, you don't have to. I get it. I mean, you're part of a family now. Families have three types of milk and inside jokes. Why would you want to move back into that big, cold house with a man who has no idea what kind of milk you drink or what kind of play you're directing. You're really lucky.",
"Jack: It's you, isn't it? It's not Dad that's asking me back home, it's you.",
"Andie: I miss my brother, Jack. Especially when my life gets crazy and I want somebody around to share it with. And that's not meant to make you feel guilty and its not meant as a sympathetic plea. It's just the truth.",
"(Outside Potter B&B - Dawson and Jen sit under the stars talking.)",
"Jen: Gorgeous.",
"Dawson: It's pollution. Certain, uh, industrial pollutants make the moon appear more vivid. Right about now, some factory in Boston just released something highly toxic into the air.",
"Jen: You know, there was a time when you'd just see the magic in a sight like this.",
"Dawson: I still do, it's just... you know, I have a bitter sense of the reality behind the magic.",
"Jen: Can I ask you something, just for the record?",
"Dawson: Yeah, sure. Fire away.",
"Jen: When we were dating and I told you about me, my past, um what was it that you were scared of?",
"Dawson: I think anything that we don't know or understand can scare us, and I had certainly never known anyone with your degree of life experience. I admit that I was madly infatuated with you.",
"Jen: And you have one very intimidated Dawson Leery. Do you think that most other boys would react the same way?",
"Dawson: I'd love to say no, but honestly I don't know. I can't know how anyone's gonna react. But I can tell you, just for the record, that how I reacted was wrong. And that now I can see that the only thing more beautiful than Jen Lindley is the reality behind her magic. And I feel sorry for any guy who's too insecure to see that.",
"(In the B&B Living Room - The men are around the fireplace trying to light it, as Gale, Jen, Joey and Andie sit around waiting to warm up.)",
"Mitch: Okay, let's get that right up there. Air vents, okay? Guys, blow, blow, blow!",
"(The fire doesn't start.)",
"Jen: We're so gonna freeze.",
"Grams: (walking in) You'll never get it started with the hickory on the bottom. May I?",
"(The men look at each other before stepping back and letting Grams take over.)",
"Grams: (rearranging the wood) Hickory is a glorious wood, but it's a hard wood. Will never burn on its own. Soft pine goes on the bottom, oak in the middle, hickory on top. (She lights it.) There we go.",
"Mitch: Wow, I'm impressed.",
"Jen: You know, she churns her own butter, too.",
"Grams: Oh, I used to build a fire after dinner every night in the winter. Jennifer's Grandfather would sit in his leather chair, feet on ottoman, and read to me. Some nights we'd travel with Ahab in search of the great whale. Or some nights we'd float down the perilous river with Huck and Jim. Nearly every night, at some point in our journey, he'd fall asleep, chin on chest, book in lap, content. You know you love someone when you can spend the entire night just sitting by the fire, watching him sleep.",
"Gale: Sounds like you loved him very much.",
"Grams: Love is the hardest of woods. Takes a long, long time to heat up, but it does.",
"Jen: God, it smells good in here.",
"Grams: Hickory burning in the hearth, smells like 46 years of my life.",
"Dawson: They say that smell is the most powerful sense of recall that we have. It can bring back all kinds of buried experiences.",
"Gale: Vanilla.",
"Mitch: Still?",
"Gale: Every time I smell it... Your Father worked in a restaurant when we first started dating...",
"Mitch: The Franklin Family Fish House.",
"Gale: And every night after work, when he would come to pick me up, he always smelled like vanilla.",
"Mitch: Well, I used to soak my hands in it to, uhh, alleviate the smell of the cod.",
"Dawson: Phenylene diamine. It's the main chemical used to process film, might've been the first time I ever opened a film canister. It's an intense smell. At the time, it smelled like possibility.",
"Jen: Mothballs. I love the smell of mothballs. No, when class would get out at the Chapin's School in New York, um, there was this old storage room in the back of the auditorium that the drama club used to keep all their costumes and props in. God, I would spend hours in there hiding under Guinevere's skirt, wrapped in Lady Macbeth's cloak. It always seemed like, no matter what had happened or how bad the day had been or how much I thought I was falling apart, there was nothing that could get to me in there.",
"Jack: Kickapoo juice. It was this grape juice, and they used to hand out a cup of it at the end of every day at summer camp. And the owner of the camp, Mr. A, gave it that stupid name. We all knew it was Hi-C.",
"Pacey: This might sound a little goofy, but do you think it's actually possible to smell snow?",
"Mitch: Absolutely.",
"Pacey: Well, that's my first memory, then. I don't know, I was maybe two or three years old. I just distinctly remember getting up on my tippy toes so I could look through this half open window at the snow falling down on the frozen creek, and everything just blanketed in stillness.",
"Andie: New car. We'd go on these family trips, and dad would always request a brand new rental car. And I guess, um, that smell just reminds me of all of us traveling together down some big open highway.",
"Joey: Bacon. Sizzling, crackling, wafting into my bedroom while I was still asleep, starting in my dreams and coaxing me into awake.",
"Bessie: I know that smell.",
"Joey: Mom.",
"Bessie: Yeah.",
"Joey: See, every Sunday when she didn't have to work, she would make breakfast. And I would find my way down the hallway and stand next to her by the stove. And we would talk about school, and boys, and we'd take the pancake batter and pour it into tiny molds shaped like pine trees and animals. My Mom always loved to cook and take care of everyone, and hated working at that bar every night. She always told me not to worry, because eventually she was going to make enough money and she was going to open up her very own, um, her very own Bed and Breakfast. She obviously didn't get the chance to see that dream happen, so I thought I would give it a shot. So, thank you everyone for coming and helping us. You're the best fake guests a girl could ask for. But really, you can all go home now.",
"(Joey goes to leave the room and notices Mr. Fricke has been standing in the doorway for an unknown amount of time.)",
"Joey: Mr. Fricke, I'm really sorry this has been such a horrendous experience. I realize it's no five star B&B, but I'm pretty sure my mother would've loved it.",
"(Potter B&B - Joey's room, the next morning. Voices are heard in the other room, and as she wakes up, a smile crosses her face. \"Ain't Too Proud to Beg\" is playing on the stereo as she makes her way into the kitchen. Everyone is dancing around cooking breakfast, and setting the table to eat. Some are singing along, and dropping things while they dance. Generally having a good time.)",
"Joey: So is someone going to tell me what's going on?",
"Pacey: Hey. Want some coffee? Could someone please get this lady a cup of coffee?",
"Joey: I thought everyone was going home.",
"Dawson: Well you know you sleep late, you miss a lot. Okay you've done the bed thing it's time for some breakfast",
"(Everyone finds a place to sit at the table. Mr. Fricke is at the head.)",
"Pacey: This is for you, Mr. Fricke.",
"Joey: Morning, everyone.",
"All: Morning.",

"Mr. Fricke: Morning.",
"Joey: You know, I know we still have a few kinks to work out. We'll probably never have the fine linens and gourmet food that you're used to.",
"Mr. Fricke: The heat didn't work last night... (pause) But this is one of the warmest places I've ever stayed. (gesturing towards the pancakes) And these pancakes may be the best in the county.",
"Andie: All right!",
"Joey: Um, what am I missing?",
"Bessie: Why, whatever do you mean?",
"Joey: Well, for one thing your pancakes are nowhere near this good, Bessie.",
"Pacey: Well, then perhaps we should pay our compliments to the chef, huh?",
"All: (chanting) Chef, chef, chef, chef!",
"Bodie: (with Alexander in tow) Now who here wants seconds?",
"Joey: (hugging him) Bodie? What are you doing here?",
"Bodie: What do you mean? I wouldn't miss this for the world!",
"(Bessie pulls Joey into the other room.)",
"Bessie: I was up for hours last night, thinking about what you said by the fire. And I went up to the attic...",
"Joey: Look, Bessie...",
"Bessie: (holding up a Guest Book) Dad gave this to Mom for Christmas ten years ago. We signed it over breakfast... her first guests. How could I have forgotten her dream?",
"Joey: You've had a few other things to worry about, Bessie. The lives of two kids.",
"Mr. Fricke: (raising his glass in a toast) To the Potter B&B! May it live long and prosper!",
"Pacey: Here, here.",
"Andie: Yah!",
"(Potter B&B - The Honeymoon Suite. Mitch is packing while Gale goes to put a necklace on.)",
"Gale: (gesturing the necklace) May I bother you?",
"Mitch: Yeah. (helping her with the necklace) You remember last night around the fire, that whole nostalgia vanilla thing? That brought back another memory...",
"Gale: The Fish Bistro.",
"Mitch: Yeah.",
"Gale: How could I ever forget that pipe dream?",
"Mitch: We thought that up when you were pregnant with Dawson. Leery's Fresh Fish. But you know what? I think back to that time now, before the teaching and the coaching, that wasn't really my dream at all. It was yours.",
"Gale: Well, I don't know about that...",
"Mitch: I'm not saying that you bailed on it or anything, I mean, it's not your fault you were more successful doing something else. Anyway, I know that you're interviewing with a lot of different stations and everything, but there is this little empty place by the river. I, um, came across it the other day and wrote the number down, just in case you wanted to take a look at it. (hands her a little slip of paper)",
"Gale: Thank you, Mitch, but that dream was so very long ago.",
"Mitch: Seems like yesterday to me.",
"(The Dock - Henry and Jen are sitting and talking.)",
"Henry: So this is why you brought me here?",
"Jen: Henry, I just shared with you all the events of my sordid past, a veritable laundry list of sexual crimes and misdemeanors.",
"Henry: Yeah?",
"Jen: So, so you're not acting disgusted or self-righteous or intimidated or even agog?",
"Henry: Why would I be any of those things?",
"Jen: Because that's how boys always react.",
"Henry: Whatever you did before is part of what makes you who you are. And I'm thankful for that.",
"Jen: Did you just say what I think you said?",
"Henry: Whatever it was, I think I did, yeah.",
"Jen: Who are you, Henry Parker?",
"(Outside Potter B&B - Pacey is helping Dawson with his camcorder.)",
"Dawson: Pacey, do you have any idea what you're doing?",
"Pacey: Well, I have put a lens cap on before, yeah.",
"Dawson: I meant just in general. Everything's changing so rapidly, I'm having troubles finding my bearings, you know?",
"Pacey: I'll second that emotion.",
"Dawson: You know, I lay awake at night on my bed staring at my walls, which are now blank except for a Lennon poster, trying to imagine the future... and it's as blank as the walls. All I can see is a past that's barely recognizable anymore. Perfect example... you.",
"Pacey: Me?",
"Dawson: Yeah, you concocted this whole metamorphosis. You used to be glib and predictable. I don't know, I mean I thought it was, you know, your relationship with Andie, but now you're not with her and still... I guess what I'm trying to say is, thank you.",
"Pacey: For what, man?",
"Dawson: For doing what I asked you to do: taking care of Joey. You really went above and beyond the call. I mean, you did something really special for her. I'm glad she has you.",
"Pacey: Let me tell you something, Man. It's no picnic, okay? That Potter girl, she ain't easy, alright? She's physically incapable of keeping her mouth shut for more than two seconds at a time. She's got an opinion about everything. I mean, it's uncanny, alright? So anytime you want to jump back in there, you just let me know, because I am eager to return to our regularly scheduled programming. That good enough for you?",
"Dawson: That'll do fine, Pace.",
"(Potter B&B Porch - Jen and Grams walk outside with the luggage when Jack walks up.) Grams: (singing) Sunshine all over the place, just put on a happy face.",
"Jen: Did you mix your red pills with your blue ones today?",
"Grams: I like that song. Ahh.",
"Jen: Oh, just in time to carry our bags.",
"Jack: Uh, listen there's something I want to talk through with you guys if you have a second.",
"Jen: Absolutely. What is it?",
"Jack: Okay, uh, Andie is, um, Andie's giving me the hard sell about moving back home.",
"Jen: Well, what about your Dad?",
"Jack: As much as I thought it was, my moving back home doesn't really have anything to do with my Dad. He's not there half the time anyway. It's about Andie. You see, when you guys invited me last summer to stay with you, I didn't have anything or anyone. And it was so generous of both of you and it's not that you just offered me a home, it was the act of reminding me that somebody cared about me when I didn't really feel like I deserved it. And now Andie needs to be reminded of that. I'm her brother. So look, I'm sorry. I want you to think that I appreciate everything and you did so much for me and I...",
"Jen: Go home, Jack. Go home.",
"(Group hug! The following scenes are a montage of everyone. Music plays in the background.)",
"Pacey: Potter? Potter, look, I talked to the furnace guy. He said he could come by tomorrow if you didn't...",
"(Pacey finds Joey asleep on the couch under a blanket. He walks over and kneels to the floor next to the couch as he covers her. After staring at her for a moment, he walks away. Outside of the B&B, Bessie, Bodie and Alexander sit on a blanket, looking at the stars. Henry and Jen sit on the docks talking. Gale is walking along a pier, when she comes across the property that Mitch told her about. Jack is packing his things up in his room at Gram's house, for his move back to his father's house. Dawson lays on his bed, staring up at his 'Imagine' poster. Joey is still asleep under the blanket, the room lit only by the fireplace. Pacey sits in the armchair across from her, watching her sleep. A look of contentment and awe is on his face. It's obvious he could sit there all night.)"

"Dawson, lacking inspiration, makes the radical move of dropping out of film class to spend some time re-evaluating his life. Back at the bed and breakfast, Joey is torn between attending Pacey's opening night and her date with A.J., who has come to Capeside for the evening. At the play, Andie must take over as director when Mr. Broderick falls ill. Jen agrees to meet Henry, but she throws him another block by bringing Grams as her date."

"Pacey: We can't stop now. I don't know this stuff at all.",

"Pacey: Saturday?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Pacey: No, no, you don't want to come on Saturday. You gotta come on Friday. It's opening night. Much better chance you'll get to witness some amusing disaster. You know, like scenery falling on my head, or perhaps my co-star hyperventilating from one of my intoxicating stage kisses",

"Pacey: The northern lights?",
"Joey: Yes.",
"Pacey: Yeah, I've heard of 'em. I mean, I may not be Ivy league material, but if you give me a road map and a remote control, I can probably find my way to the discovery channel and back.",
"Joey: Yeah, well, there're like 10 nights out of the year when you can actually see the northern lights from this part of the world, and tomorrow may be one of them. And if you factor in the recent sunspot activity--",
"Pacey: Northern lights, my ass. This guy is obviously just trying to separate you from the Potter pantalonees.",
"Joey: Pacey, read a newspaper once in a while. You cannot fake geomagnetic activity.",
"Pacey: Oh, yeah, you can. Sure you can! You can fake anything! Especially if you're some Ivy League egghead, and it's all part of some grand astronomical make-out scam. I'm talking as the voice of reason here, ok? I mean, come on, the chances of the northern lights appearing in the night sky above Capeside are about as good as the chances of me acquitting myself with distinction on that stage tomorrow night.",

"Nicki: Well, yeah, but I was gonna ask for your ideas.",

"Henry: Are you or are you not canceling our date?",
"Jen: I'm not canceling anything.",

And, now don't say no too quickly, because you're definitely gonna need a shoulder to cry on after this whole northern lights thing doesn't work out.",

"AJ: Well, the cheap haircuts, and the unfortunate fashion sense. [Takes a sip of his drink, then spills it out] The pretentious taste in beverages. It's mead. It's what Beowulf drank before he slew Grendel. [Joey goes to take a sip, and he stops her, then pours hers out as well] You know, I wouldn't it's...",

"Joey: Where is everyone going?",
"AJ: Oh... Cloud cover. Viewing conditions aren't exactly clear.",
"Joey: Does that me no lights?",
"AJ: No, not necessarily. It could clear up before midnight.",
"Joey: Midnight.",
"AJ: Yeah, for some unknown reason, midnight-- astronomical midnight, to be exact-- is the best time for viewing auroral displays.",
"Joey: So that means we have quite a wait in store for us.",

"Dawson: Pacey, we don't have time for this. You've got a show to do.",
"Pacey: Oh, just a couple more, you know? It helps. It's part of the whole acting process.",
"Dawson: So what are you so nervous about? It's not like you've never acted before.",
"Pacey: Yeah. How many times did it take me to actually get that sea creature thing right?",
"Dawson: Good point.",
"Pacey: And at that point, how many people were watching me? And for that matter, how many ex-girlfriends were there, counting on me to do a good job?",
"Dawson: Let me ask you this. Acting--you like it? You having fun?",
"Pacey: Well, I kind of got blackmailed into the whole thing, but... Yeah, I have to say it's been fun. Actually, it's been a blast.",
"Dawson: So then go out on stage tonight and have a blast. It's all that matters man. Find what you love to do and do it.",
"Pacey: This is coming from a guy who just gave up his life's passion to hang out with the underachievers in fourth period study hall, right?",
"Dawson: I didn't give it up. I just decided to spread it around a little bit.",
"Pacey: When did you become all Zen? I thought you of all people would be freaking out big time right now.",
"Dawson: Why?",
"Pacey: Well, I don't know. Maybe because of Joey's big date with college guy.",
"Dawson: I really suck at this game. All right. Come on, Olivier, your public awaits.",
"Pacey: What if this guy is some big s*x maniac?",
"Dawson: Joey's a big girl. I'm sure she can take care of herself.",
"Pacey: Take care of herself? That's all you got to say about this? We're talking about Josephine Potter, the girl whose destiny intrinsically linked to your own.",

And--and then there's yourself. And... Sometimes it's really hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. Does that make sense?",

"Andie: Oh! You shouldn't have!",
"Jack: If you don't want 'em, that's ok.",
"Andie: No, not so fast. I cannot believe that you did this in one afternoon, Jack. I mean, it's it's amazing.",
"Jack: Come on, you're the amazing one, sis. And one word about how my people excel at decorating... You're dead.",
"Andie: Ok.",
"[Jen walks up to them with Henry and Grams in tow.]",

"Andie: Oh, thank you so much!",

"Jen: You know, if you guys want to grab some punch or something, I'm...I'm just gonna be right back.",
"[She goes over to Pacey.]",
"Jen: Hey, hey, good-lookin'",
"Pacey: Now, you better watch out. I think Grams is moving in on your date.",
"Jen: And I think that you better stick to comedy that's scripted.",
"Pacey: Fair enough. Thanks for coming tonight.",
"Jen: Wouldn't have missed it for the world. Opening night, packed house.",
"Pacey: And not a Witter in attendance. Surprise. But Dawson's here.",
"Jen: Yeah, I saw him.",
"Pacey: And Jack.",
"Jen: That he is.",
"Pacey: And of course you.",
"Jen: Yes, I am.",
"Pacey: Yes.",
"Jen: But you know who's not here?",
"Pacey: Uh, the critic from the Capeside Clarion?",
"Jen: Joey.",
"Pacey: Yeah, she couldn't make it. You know, big date.",
"Jen: It's too bad. She missed a great show. And an incredible leading man.",
"Pacey: Well, thank you muchly.",
"Jen: Of course, you hardly noticed.",
"Pacey: Hardly. Barely missed her.",
"[Joey walks up from behind them.]",
"Joey: Missed who?",
"Pacey: Nobody.",
"[Scene: At a table. Dawson and Nicki are there talking.]",
"Nicki: I come bearing crudite",
"Dawson: Well, thank you. I think.",
"Nicki: You know, Dawson, I think you're taking this whole... Precocious teenager thing a bit too far. I mean, people shouldn't disalusioned and give up the biz until they're at least, I don't know, 25.",
"Dawson: It's not that big a deal. All I'm doing is dropping an elective.",
"Nicki: Film. You dropped film. I thought that was who you are.",
"Dawson: It's part of who I am. Remember at your house. When you were talking about how there's so many different things to be passionate about?",
"Nicki: Sure.",
"Dawson: Well, when I got home that day, I took all the movie posters off my walls. Every last one. There's this image that I keep on coming back to. I'm 10 years old. My parents have taken me to see Jurassic Park. I'm sitting there, fourth row center, popcorn in lap, flanked by mom and dad. And these 2 teenagers walk in. A guy and a girl. Probably about our age. They sit in front of us, and they proceed to make out throughout the entire movie. And I remember sitting there, just being shocked that anyone would rather kiss than watch this miraculous fantasy unfold onscreen. And at one-- at one point, I actually tapped the guy on the shoulder and asked him If he wouldn't mind keeping it down. And he looked at me like... \"Look, one day, kid, you'll get it.\" And here I am, all these years later. And I'm still not the kid who goes to the movie theater just to make out. And I'm not the kid who sat between his parents anymore. I'm this third person who's so busy analyzing everything that I can't enjoy anything. I mean, the other 2 guys, at least they were having fun. I'm...just not anymore. And that's why I dropped film.",
"Nicki: So...Uh...Where are you gonna look for this joy you once had but have now lost?",
"Dawson: I have absolutely no idea. Any suggestions?",
"Nicki: Where were you when you had it last?",
"[Scene: Joey and Pacey talking at the bar.]",
"Joey: So you're a huge hit. See, I told you everything would work out, Pacey.",
"Pacey: What are you doing here? Renaissance man bail on you?",
"Joey: No. It was just that it was getting late, and the clouds were moving in, and once it's over cast, there's really no chance of actually seeing the northern lights from this latitude. And plus, it was getting cold. So we just decided that",
"Pacey: He kissed you, didn't he?",
"Joey: What makes you say that?",
"Pacey: He have to be a moron not to. And your lipstick is smeared all over your face.",
"Joey: That's what I get for letting Bessie talk me into very berry, I guess.",
"Pacey: So are you gonna see this guy again?",
"Joey: I don't know. I mean, what's the point? I mean, he's older than me, he's--he's smarter than me. And he lives far away. A very not insignificant problem, seeing as how I can't even drive yet. How could I ever feel about him The way that I...",
"Pacey: Feel about Dawson.",
"Joey: No, I was--I was actually going to say \"felt.\"",
"Pacey: You want to know something, Miss Josephine Potter? I think the world may just surprise you yet. I mean, you fall in love and it doesn't work out, and you think that it'll never happen again, but it does. Believe me, it does, in the strangest of places.",
"Joey: What makes you such an expert, Pacey?",
"Pacey: Well, I'm an actor. You know, a poor player, strutting and fretting and all the rest of that Shakespearean stuff. And as such, it is my job to understand the sophisticated inner workings of the human heart.",
"Joey: I think I liked you better when you were brooding and defeatist.",
"[Pacey looks over Joey's shoulder and notices AJ has walked in, and is looking around.]",
"Pacey: Uh-huh.",
"Joey: What?",
"Pacey: Well, I think your date may not be over so soon after all. ah, go on. You know you want to.",
"Joey: Ok. Thanks.",
"[Scene: There is a comotion. And everyone is looking up into the rafters. Henry is up there yelling down to Jen.]",
"Henry: Jen!",
"Jen: Henry, what the hell?",
"Crowd: [Crowd murmurs excitedly] There's someone in the rafters. He's crazy. He could fall.",
"Henry: Jen.",
"Jen: Henry, get down.",
"Henry: No.",
"Jen: I'm not kidding. Get down from there.",
"Henry: I'll come down when you say it loud and clear.",
"Jen: What? Say what?",
"Henry: I, Jen Lindley...",
"Jen: I, Jen Lindley...",
"Henry: Am embarrassed to be here on a date with Henry Parker.",
"Jen: Am embarrassed to be here on a date with Henry Parker. Now get down.",
"Henry: I've ignored him...",
"Jen: I've ignored him...",
"Henry: Taken him for granted...",
"Jen: Taken him for granted...",
"Henry: And spent the last 5 months of my life making him miserable, all to disguise the horrifying fact. That I like him.",
"Jen: Henry, get down.",
"Henry: Could someone get a ladder?",
"[Scene: Joey and AJ talking with each other.]",
"Joey: What made you come back?",
"AJ: Uh, I never left. Since I dropped you off, I've been sitting in the parking lot. Thinking about how... When someone says something you don't understand, you're suddenly faced with this rather limited window of opportunity in which you can ask the person to explain what they meant, or spend the rest of your life pretending you understood them. I just thought I'd reopen the window. Did I do something wrong?",
"Joey: No, uh, A.J., I kind of panicked. And, you know that thing called grace under pressure? Well, I don't really have it, not even a smidge.",
"AJ: Joey, it was just a kiss. It wasn't the running of the bulls in Pamplona.",
"Joey: When you kissed me, I suddenly realized that I was standing there with this person who, you know, has skipped about a zillion grades and knows everything about everything, and I knew that the minute that you stopped kissing me, you would realize that you'd made terrible mistake, because",
"AJ: Because why?",
"Joey: Most things that you talk about... I don't even know what they are. Things like literature and science and history just pour out of you like you're this... Good Will Hunting impersonator, and ... is there anything that you're not an authority on?",
"AJ: Girls. Beautiful girls. Their hopes, their dreams, what makes them tick. I wish I knew a little bit more about that.",
"Joey: Me, too. You might know more about that than you think you do.",
"AJ: So I guess we never got to see them...The northern lights.",
"Joey: No. Next time.",
"AJ: I've seen them before.",
"Joey: Will you tell me about them?",
"AJ: It's like the sky you've known your whole life. The one you've looked up at every night as a kid. Only you look up at it, and it's like it's on fire. Flooded with all these brilliant colors.",
"Joey: Sounds kinda scary.",
"AJ: Yeah, it is. But beautiful.",
"[Scene: after the party and Jack and Andie are cleaning up.]",
"Jack: Not too glamorous, huh? Stuck with clean-up duty on your big night.",
"Andie: I don't mind.",
"Jack: I'm sorry dad couldn't be here.",
"Andie: Oh, don't be sorry. I mean, that actually kind of made it better. You know, being around all these people who don't know me so well, who believe in the person I am today, that don't really know everything I used to be. It was great. The whole night I felt like...",
"Jack: The belle of the ball?",
"Andie: No. More like me. Like myself.",
"Jack: Well, that is some of the best news I've heard in a long time.",
"Andie: I had this, uh, this mantra in the hospital. You want to hear it?",
"Jack: Yeah.",
"Andie: Structure and purpose. I mean, I know it's just a stupid little school play, but that's what it was to me. Structure and purpose. I think when you have something like that in your life, you know, to hold on to that's not another person, but it's more like a part of yourself, you know, like a goal or a dream, the whole world falls apart around you, you'll be ok.",
"Jack: And you are...Ok?",
"Andie: Yeah, I'm great.",
"Jack: You sure you're that great? [Jack notices Pacey]",
"Andie: There's one way to find out.",
"[She goes over to sit down by him outside.]",
"Andie: Hey.",
"Pacey:: Hey.",
"Andie: You weren't exactly the life of the party tonight.",
"Pacey: No, I guess I got a lot stuff on my mind.",
"Andie: Yeah, it's too bad your parents couldn't come.",
"Pacey: Well, as it turns out, there are a lot of people who couldn't make it tonight, So .C'est la vie.",
"Andie: Yeah, but I mean, too bad they couldn't see you being a star and all tonight.",
"Pacey: I think you and I both know who the real star of that production is. I mean, the actors, all we do is come on at the last moment and grab all the glory, whereas the people who work behind the scenes, you guys are the ones who make everything happen. I mean, nobody ever knows all the work that you guys do.",
"Andie: They know. So, it looks like you're gonna get that guaranteed \"C\" in English.",
"Pacey: You're disappointed, aren't you? About my pathetic return to the depths of academic mediocrity.",
"Andie: I'm not disappointed. Girls have these idiotic, misguided notions about guys. I mean, we think we can spruce 'em up and turn 'em into something they're not.",
"Pacey: In your defense, I wasn't exactly what you'd call a luxury model. I did have fixer-upper written all over me.",
"Andie: Yeah, you pretty much were priced to sell, weren't you?",
"Pacey: Yes, I was. Damaged goods.",
"Andie: But, the thing is, Pacey...I was wrong. There was never anything about you that needed fixing up. And there never was, and there never will be. 'Cause you are perfect as is.",
"Pacey: You, too, Andie.",
"Andie: [sighs]",
"Pacey: What?",
"Andie: I'm trying. So, uh, what do you think my next project should be? It definitely won't be involving you.",
"Pacey: No.",
"Andie: My people will certainly not be calling your people.",
"Pacey: Um, I don't know,",
"Andie: I was thinking maybe an all-girl cast.",
"Pacey: Or perhaps puppets. You know, puppets are really good. They're directable, unlike myself.",
"[Scene: Outside. Jen and Henry are walking along the sidewalk talking to each other.]",
"Henry: I can't remember when I felt this depressed. Oh, yeah, 10 minutes ago.",
"Jen: You'll get no sympathy from these quarters.",
"Henry: I know. For a second there, I thought I saw you smiling.",
"Jen: You are not like other boys. Has anybody told you that before?",
"Henry: Yeah, you.",
"Jen: It's just that you gotta stop it with these grand gestures, these larger-than-life public declarations. They're...You're like the Christo of teenage crushes.",
"Henry: Who's Christo?",
"Jen: He's--well, he's kind of like a sculptor. He does these really large...Never mind. It's just that you don't have to try so hard.",
"Henry: It's just that... I want to know you, Jen Lindley. I want to be honest with you. Totally and completely honest.",
"Jen: Nobody can ever be completely honest, henry. No one over the age of 6, that is.",
"Henry: I can.",
"Jen: You know what? You can, can't you? I don't know what it is or how you managed to keep it for so long, but you've definitely got that thing that children have.",
"Henry: You have it, too. You've just... Forgotten about it.",
"Jen: No. Henry, I don't think that I ever had it.",
"Henry: Then I can teach you. Just say what's ever in your heart right now, right at this instant",
"Jen: [She kisses him] was that honest enough?",
"Henry: Almost. I'd say about 70%. [He goes in for another kiss and they kiss even more intensely.]",
"[Scene: Joey is just getting home, when Bessie stops her at the front door.]",
"Bessie: Not so fast. A certain boy we both know is waiting to see you.",
"[She goes into the back yard to see who it is. Dawson is sitting there on one of the benches.]",
"Joey: Dawson?",
"Dawson: Hey, I'm sorry to show up like this. I know you just got back from your date.",
"Joey: Look, if that's what this is about",
"Dawson: No, it's not. It's not. I swear.",
"Joey: How did you know about my date, anyway?",
"Dawson: Pacey told me. You don't have to explain. If anybody has to explain, it's me, showing up like this.",
"Joey: So why did you show up like this?",
"Dawson: I needed to see you. You know? I just I suddenly felt very lost.",
"Joey: How did you think you were going to feel after you took down all your posters and suddenly decided to drop film class?",
"Dawson: Well, I didn't think. I just...did.",
"Joey: And now you're thinking, and you realize you don't know who you are anymore?",
"Dawson: Something like that, yeah.",
"Joey: I think you lost your true north. That fixed point in the night sky, that you guide yourself by.",
"Dawson: What about you? What's your true north?",
"Joey: I don't think I have one.",
"[They look up into the sky and is, is dancing with fiery lights.]",
"Dawson: What is that?",
"Joey: The aurora borealis.",
"Dawson: The northern lights? Aren't we a little too far south for that here in Capeside?",
"Joey: Apparently not. It's funny. I have been waiting all night for this, and it happens now, with you.",
"Dawson: Is that a bad thing?",
"Joey: No. It's, uh...It's just typical.",
"[They just lay back and watch the skys.]",
"Joey: I thought they'd be bluer than this."

"Joey is disapproving when Dawson is convinced into attending a party by Pacey, who berates Joey for being too protective of Dawson. After reconsidering, Joey decides to attend the party, along with Jack and Andie, who bring along Kate, a childhood friend of theirs. The party soon descends into total chaos, and the gang are rounded up by Doug and thrown in the drunk tank. All except Pacey are later rescued by a stern looking Mitch. Doug retains custody of his little brother on the advice of their father, and the two later have a heart to heart, during which Pacey reveals for the first time that he has feelings for Joey. At the end of the episode, he attempts to talk to her about it, but ends up offering her driving lessons instead. Elsewhere, Jen goes on a date with Henry, which ends in a hospital trip when Henry tries too hard."

"Dawson: You just kinda want to ease into it. All right, it's a very gentle kinda give and take...Action, all right? So...You might want to do it right about now. Wait!",
"[She stalls out the engine.]",
"Dawson: Oh! Ok, remember when I said that thing about stepping on the clutch before you actually try and shift? Is that coming back to you? Um...So you re in neutral now. Put your foot on the clutch that's it! Ok?",
"Joey: I don't want to learn to drive anymore. It's too hard.",
"Pacey: Oh, are we there yet? Look, come on, kiddies. We are barely halfway down the driveway. What on earth have you guys been doin' up ere?",
"Dawson: See, this is a shining example of why friends should not teach friends to drive stick.",
"Joey: You're not exactly Lloyd Dobler, Dawson.",
"Dawson: What is that supposed to mean?",
"Joey: Say Anything, John Cusack teaches Ione Skye how to drive.",
"Dawson: Yeah?",
"Joey: Except, if I remember correctly, he was quite the patient tutor.",
"Dawson: Why, as I remember, she actually listened to his tutorial.",
"Pacey: Ok kids, let's try and find the love up there, shall we? You know, Dawson, what say you and I invite miss Josephine Potter to step out on the town with us tonight? Unless, of course, you've got prior Valentine's Day plan with the college beau.",
"Joey: No, massive midterm crisis.",
"Pacey: Excuse me? What kinda moron would rather shove his nose in a book then take his girl out for Valentine's Day?",
"Joey: Pacey, I know it's a hard concept for you to grasp, but some people are actually dedicated to the pursuit of academic excellence.",
"Pacey: Ok, so then why don't you just come with us? It'll be fun.",

"Joey: Heh. Well, that surprises me, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Why?",
"Joey: Matt Caufield? I mean, he's not exactly of your tribe. He's a creep, and his parties are infamous for complete and utter debauchery.",
"Pacey: Why are you comin' down on a guy for wanting to shed his skin and have some fun for a change?",
"Joey: And why are you dragging him into a seedy, depraved world reserved for bottom-feeders like yourself?",
"Pacey: Ok, guys, this tug-of-war over my morality is entertaining and all but we gotta get going. We're gonna be late for school.",
"Joey: As much as the idea of watching the two of you make fools of yourselves is appealing to me, I'm gonna have to pass on the whole party thing... and make it a blockbuster night.",

"Doug: Always a pleasure, Pacey, but I got somewhere to be.",
"Pacey: Well, look, maybe I could do a ride along with you tonight.",
"Doug: And why would you want to do that?",

"Doug: Not tonight, ok?",
"Pacey: Why not?",
"Doug: Because you would be bored. Tonight I have to suffer through the noble task of staking out the golf course.",

"Dawson: I know. I feel bad for her. Add Jack, that's not one, but 2 gay boyfriends.",
"Pacey: Ok, I wasn't so much talking about what she said, more like what she's saying.",
"Dawson: And the subtext is?",
"Pacey: That she needs to overcome the memory of her lost love...if only for a brief time. She's lookin' to hook up, man. This night just turned to a teenage fairy tale, and you, my friend, are the big, bright, shining star.",
"Dawson: I wasn't quite looking at it from that angle.",
"Pacey: Well, that's why I'm here, little buddy, isn't it?",
"Dawson: Huh?",
"Pacey: Nuh?!",
"[Joey comes up to join the group.]",
"Joey: Hey.",
"All: Hi.",
"Pacey: Well, that's odd. I mean, this couldn't possibly be miss Josephine Buzzkill in front of me, because I'm pretty sure she was boo tonight.",
"Joey: Well, I came to make sure that I don't lose Dawson to the dark side.",
"Dawson: Joey. I appreciate your concern, But I'm really quite capable of taking care of myself.",
"Joey: Some day you'll thank me, Dawson. And if Pacey insists on being the devil on your shoulder, then the least I can do is be the angel on the other.",
"Pacey: Fine, then. Come with me, sweet little angel. Be my guest. But you are not-- and I repeat--not gonna ruin this night for us.",
"[Scene: Grams House. There is a knock on the door and Jen opens it to see Henry there. His face looks a little pale.]",
"Jen: Hi. Henry, do you feel ok? You look kinda peaked.",
"Henry: Uh--uh, I've been dreaming about this for so long, I'm afraid if I speak, I'll awake.",
"Jen: You are awake.",
"Henry: You're gorgeous.",
"Jen: [flattered] So are you.",
"[They begin to leave.]",
"Henry: We're wearing the same color.",
"Jen: Mmm, black. You know, my grams would probably say that it as a sign of the spirit of St. Valentine.",
"Henry: Of course it is. I believe that. Oh, this is-- this is for you.",
"[He hands her a long stem rose.]",
"Jen: Henry, thank you. It's perfect.",
"Henry: This whole night's gonna be perfect.",
"[Jen pricks her finger on one of the thorns.]",
"Jen: Ouch!",
"Henry: Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, no.",
"Jen: It's ok.",
"Henry: It's not ok. You're bleeding.",
"Jen: No. No, that's fine, really. Just a flesh wound.",

"Pacey: What was?",
"Joey: Shoving Dawson on that girl.",
"Pacey: What, are you jealous?",
"Joey: No, I'm worried about him, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Why?",
"Joey: Because he's lost. I mean, can't you see that?",
"Pacey: I wholeheartedly concur with you. Dawson is lost right now. That's why he needs to acquire as much life experience as possible",
"Joey: Pacey, why does life experience need to translate into these wild parties and random hook-ups?",
"Pacey: What would you have the man do? Join a book-of-the-month club?",

"Jack: I'm screwed. I can't tell her now.",
"Andie: You have to tell her.",
"Jack: I can't tell her now.",

"Andie: Ha ha. Ok, get over yourself, Jack.",
"[Dawson and Kate's Car.]",
"Dawson: What?",
"Kate: Is there something hideously wrong with me?",
"Dawson: Not that I can tell.",
"Kate: Dave, the guy I just broke up with...The guy that turned out to be oh so very much a homosexual...He used to tell me I was an acquired taste. Is that just a nice way of saying I'm a filthy eyesore? I'm not a filthy eyesore, am I?",
"Dawson: No, you're beautiful...In a way beautiful used to actually mean something.",
"Kate: What w s your name again?",
"[Scene: The Party. There is a large group of people at the party around a huge bonfire.]",

"Kate: Rock on.",
"Joey: You know, Scream 3 is playing at the Rialto. We could still catch it.",
"Pacey: Easy, Potter.",
"Joey: How do you think these guys are gonna respond when they find out we're crashing their party without an invite?",
"Andie: Uh, good question and one we probably should have considered before we got here. So, who wants to go get ice cream?",
"Jack: We made it this far, party people, we might as well.",
"Caufield: This is my party, and I don't recall inviting any of you.",
"Pacey: Well, you didn't. Heh then.",
"Andie: Our mistake. So we'll be going now.",
"Caufield: Do you know the password?",
"Dawson: I know kung fu.",
"Pacey: Ok, the .",
"Jack: Well, ok.",
"Kate: Ok.",
"Caufield: Not so fast, kids. You do know about the entrance fee, don't ya?",
"Pacey: Oh, yeah. Of course. It's, uh, what? $5.00 cover this, right?",
"[Caufield grabs a tray of Jell-o Shots.]",
"Caufield: If you'd like to join us, I need each of you to down one of these bad boys. Go on. All the cool kids are doing it.",
"Pacey: Well, thank you, Mr. Cosby.",
"Kate: Red. Pretty.",
"Jack: Yummy. Novocain for the soul.",
"Caufield: Betty, Veronica?",
"Andie: Actually, I'm the designated driver tonight.",
"Caufield: Well, what about you, doll?",
"Joey: It's an attractive offer. Although I'm sure you're dying for the chance to hold back my hair when I inevitably vomit up that nasty keg beer, I'm gonna have to take a rain check.",
"[Dawson takes one of the cups.]",
"Joey: You're actually considering participating in this nonsense?",
"Pacey: Why can't you just let the man make his own decisions?",
"Joey: Dawson, this isn't you.",
"Pacey: You know, your concern for Dawson is starting to border on pathological, Potter.",
"Dawson: Guys, we're not at the gates of hell, and you're not arguing over my soul.",
"[He down's the Jell-o shot.]",
"Pacey: All right, heh heh.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",

"Jen: Thank you, Henry.",
"Henry: You're just saying that.",
"Jen: All right, well, maybe I had my doubts at first, but everything's turned out really, really nicely. We've got a fun place to eat, and what's more important is that we can spend some time doing what I was hoping that we could do on Valentine's Day, which is just...Get to know each other, you know what I mean?",
"[Henry is just staring out into nothingness.]",
"Jen: Henry Henry...Henry",
"Henry: Uh-huh?",
"Jen: Am I boring you?",
"Henry: No, no, I was I was just resting my eyes.",

"Joey: How does he do it?",
"Andie: Who, Dawson?",
"Joey: No, Pacey. How does he always manage to get us into these situations?",
"Andie: It's his cocky charm.",
"Joey: Cocky, yes, but I don't t think the village idiot routine equals charm.",
"Andie: Well, he means well.",
"Joey: Why is he so irritating?",
"Andie: If you think about it, I mean, he is just this big, dopey dog.",
"Joey: You re right. , It's like he runs through the house destroying everything in his path, and then he looks up at you like, what did you expect? I'm just a dog.",
"Andie: Mm-hmm. Heh. You know who you sound like?",
"Joey: Who?",
"Andie: Me...Right before I started dating him.",

"Kate: Are you gonna repeat everything I say? Isn't that annoying? I'm sorry. You were wondering?",
"Dawson: Uh, I was wondering if you wanted to take a walk?",
"Kate: With you?",
"Dawson: With me.",
"Kate: Yeah. A walk sounds neat. Let's go.",
"Dawson: Ok.",
"[Scene: Outside the restaurant. Henry is on a gurney being rolled over to the ambulance.]",
"Paramedic: He'll be at St. Matthew's Lawler. He'll be fine.",
"Jen: God, Henry, I cannot believe that you sold your blood.",
"Henry: Twice in a 48-hour period.",
"Jen: What were you thinking?",
"Henry: I wanted to make sure I did everything possible to make tonight unforgettable.",
"Jen: Well, you did. Ha. And wanted to buy you this.",
"[He takes a box out of his pocket and gives it to her.]",
"Jen: Henry. It's a ring. And--and-- and it's orange.",
"Henry: It's Hungarian red. Try it on.",
"[She tries it on but it is too small.]",
"Henry: Oh. No!",
"Jen: Henry, Henry, please don't worry about this.",
"Henry: I ruined it. I ruined everything.",
"Jen: It's--it's-- Henry, it's fine. Please don't worry about it.",
"Henry: I wanted-- I wanted everything to be so perfect.",
"Jen: It is. This is perfect. It--it's perfect.",
"[Scene: at the golf course. Kate and Dawson are walking and talking.]",
"Kate: I know what you're doing.",
"Dawson: Really? And, uh...and what's that?",
"Kate: You're the resident caretaker.",
"Dawson: [chuckles] The what?",
"Kate: The gang's nice guy. Freddie friendly. The one who volunteers to take highly emotional and processively wasted types off of everybody's hands so the other boys can go and have fun. Don't worry about little ol' me, Dawson. I will present you with no burden whatsoever. This place is hilly.",
"Dawson: Oh, wait wait a minute. Why would you assume that?",
"Kate: Assume what?",
"Dawson: That I'm a nice guy. I mean, maybe I could be trying to take advantage of your situation.",
"Kate: [laughs]",
"Dawson: And you find that humorous.",
"Kate: I may be drunk, and I may hardly know you, but that's not you.",
"Dawson: It isn't?",
"Kate: No. It isn't. I mean, first of all, who in a million years that was trying to take advantage of my situation. Would use the expression, \"I'm trying to take advantage of your situation\"?",
"Dawson: [laughs] [sighs] [To the sky] Is it really too much, huh, to ask the universe that that once, just once, just one single, solitary time can you conspire with my desire to have a good time?",
"Kate: Quit whining. There are people dying in the Balkans.",
"Dawson: You be quiet, ok? This is between me and the fates.",
"Kate: Call me loco, but maybe if you just acted instead of hemming and hawing and debating and conversing, then maybe you'd actually see some results.",
"Dawson: [sighs] What is that supposed to mean?",
"Kate: Simply put... If you don't want to be a nice guy, Dawson, when you take a girl into the woods, don't talk to her about kissing her. Kiss her. Especially after you've told her that she was beautiful in the way that beautiful used to actually mean something.",
"Dawson: It's that simple?",
"Kate: It's that simple.",
"[Dawson goes into kiss her, but just as he's about to kiss her she stops him.]",
"Kate: Hold that impulse.",

"Dawson: Perfect Perfect.",
"[Scene: Inside Grams. Kitchen. Grams is sitting at the table drinking some coffee, when Jen enters from her date.]",
"Grams: You're home early.",
"Jen: Unfortunately not early enough. The haggard girl that you're looking at now is straight from the date from hell.",
"Grams: Something for you and Henry to laugh about on your second date.",
"Jen: Sadly enough, I don't think there's gonna be a second date, Grams.",
"Grams: Because of just one sour evening?",
"Jen: This was our first real date, and to call it sour would be a kind review.",
"Grams: Jennifer, you have got to get over your preconceptions, about what a date is supposed to be. A date is, eh - even if it's a bad one, is just another moment. It's just another another pearl in a in a great wondrous necklace.",
"Jen: Ok, before you wax geriatric let me just cut to the chase. Henry is right now in the hospital because he oversold his blood in order to buy me a Hungarian red ring which, by the way, is too small. [sighs] Sweet, yes. Adorable, sure. Grammar school, definitely.",
"Grams: Henry never claimed to be the sophisticated sort.",
"Jen: Which is exactly my point. I mean, why go for all this trouble? Why why plan a dinner? Why by me jewelry, if it's not who you are?",
"Grams: Maybe he thinks that's who you want him to be.",
"[Scene: The Party. Pacey is lying down on a section of tree and doing a beer bong, when there are sirens in the background. Everyone starts to run away.]",
"Pacey: Whoa, guys. Yo, guys! What, did I do it wrong?",
"[He sees some feet walking towards him. And then notices Deputy Doug.]",
"Pacey: Hello?",
"[Scene: Inside a jail cell. Everyone is in there. Kate is up walking around, while everyone else is sitting on the benches.]",
"Kate: Do you guys party like this every weekend? 'cause I gotta say this has been the most fun I've had in a really long time. I mean, I am just so over my ex-boyfriend right now.",
"Jack: I am really glad to hear you say that, Kate, 'cause I think there's something you really need to know.",
"Andie: [Whispering to Jack] You are not gonna tell her in an enclosed space.",
"Kate: Hey, I heard that. Tell me what in an enclosed space?",
"Jack: Hey look, I know this isn't the optimum time to do this, all right? But I...All right, look. I",
"Kate: Oohh I know what this is. You're not over me, are you, Jack?",
"Jack: No, no, th-th-that's not it. Not to suggest that you're easily get-overable or an thing, but...The thing is...I...",
"Kate: Oh, my god. You're gay, aren't you? [Laughs] Oh, god! But we had...",
"Jack: Ah. Yeah, we did.",
"Kate: And you were good.",
"Jack: Thanks. But that doesn't really have any bearing on our current situation. I'm still gay.",
"Kate: [To Dawson.] Are you gay, too?",
"Dawson: Me? No.",
"Kate: Are you sure? Because apparently only gay guys will kiss me.",
"Joey: You kissed her",
"Kate: I... [Sighs] he started to, but my less-than-iron stomach napalmed the moment.",
"Joey: Dawson, what were you thinking?",
"Dawson: I wasn't. Ha ha, for a fleeting moment I actually wasn't thinking, and it felt good.",
"Kate: To take advantage of a girl who was drunk, vulnerable, and clearly on the rebound? I mean, is it just me, Dawson, or is this jaw-droppingly out of character?",
"Dawson: What character, Joey? The little sketch in your head that you have labeled \"Dawson\" Look, this might not be the me that you're used to, and I might make a complete fool out of myself, but you have to start letting me make some mistakes.",
"Pacey: [In a DJ Voice.] Here we go again kiddies. For the 476th time this hour, our number one billboard chart topper, \"The ballad of Dawson and Joey.\" Will those 2 cry kids ever get back together again? Boy, I sure hope so.",
"Joey: Look, Pacey, would you stay out of it?",
"Pacey: Oh, of course. Far be it from me, lowly creature that I am, to ever tread on the sanctity of the Dawson and Joey dynamic. I'm sorry, it's just that I find the way at you treat him so fascinating, Potter.",
"Joey: And how is that, Dr. Witter?",
"Pacey: Like he's some weird, neutered, little virginal creature.",
"Joey: What's your problem?",
"Pacey: Huh. I don't have a problem. I am but a Greek chorus, here to observe and interpret.",
"Dawson: Pacey...",
"Joey: When did you adopt this mean streak?",
"Pacey: Come on, Joey, you and I... We've always been known foe the snap, crackle, and pop of our repartee.",
"Joey: Right. The good-natured but to my recollection, I don't remember it ever being pointed, and it's never been hurtful.",
"Pacey: Or even being taken so seriously.",
"Joey: But how could I not take it seriously, Pacey? And you've said one harsh, nasty thing after another to me tonight. What did I really do to deserve all that?",
"Pacey: You didn't do anything to deserve this. The drunken lout in the corner just pleads sheer frustration. I mean, honestly, do you have any idea how exhausting it is to exist on your periphery to witness this perpetual dance that you two have? One week you're soul mates, the next week you're giving each other up for the greater good. I mean, do you think it's possible at sometime soon you could make up your mind, please? Yeah, and the reverence that you two treat this little saga of yours with, it's enough to make a guy wanna puke.",

"Doug: All right. Everyone out.",

"Henry: Jell-o?",
"Jen: [giggles] What is it about hospitals always serving jell-o? Do they think it has some sort of miraculous healing power?",
"Henry: [sniffs] I'm sorry I can't offer you more.",
"Jen: No, I'm sorry. Henry, I think that I may have been, um...Just a a bit more anxious than I I let on about this whole thing.",
"Henry: You? Anxious, really?",
"Jen: Yeah. Um...See, when at the Chapin school, um, Valentine's was the day when the guy that I was dating would take out the girl that he really liked, give her presents, and chocolates",
"Henry: I I don't believe that for",
"Jen: Yeah. Well, it's true. All right, I've never had a date on Valentine's day...Let alone a first date, so...I think that my my need to fulfill that experience is what got the better of both of us.",
"Henry: That's one way to put it. [chuckles]",
"Jen: If we're gonna continue dating, and and I I'd like that, um, what do you say that we start acting more like ourselves and less like a couple in our thirties?",
"Henry: Does this mean you want me to return the ring?",
"Jen: Not on your life! This is the best-looking Hungarian red pinky-ring I've ever gotten. [sighs] and besides, it reminds me of you, which makes it pretty invaluable.",
"[She grabs one of the jell-o cups.]",
"Jen: [Clicks tongue] mind if I do?",
"Henry: Do you realize what we're doing? We're having a date. No floods, no earthquakes, no locusts",
"Jen: Shh shh shh! Let's just not think about what could go wrong. Let's just eat the jell-o.",
"Henry: There's always room for jell-o.",
"[Scene: Spare room at Jack and Andie's house. Jack and Kate are there folding up some clothes and talking.]",
"Jack: So you ok?",
"Kate: Yeah. Ya know, I'm starting to realize that there's something kinda cool about a relationship not working 'cause the guy turns out to be gay. I mean, sure, it's heartbreaking in its own way, but... It's not my fault. There's nothing I can do about it.",
"Jack: Of course it's now your fault.",
"Kate: It's not your fault, either.",
"Jack: [exhales] I know.",
"Kate: Do you? Why were you so afraid to tell me?",
"Jack: I didn't want to upset you.",
"Kate: Mm-mmm. Nope. Not buying it. You're gonna have to do better than that, Jackers.",
"Jack: Uh, heh. Ok, um. When you and I were seeing each other, I always thought there was something a little...Off. I mean, I I've come a long way, but when I saw you, it brought me back to a time when I thought that the feelings that I was having were were wrong, and I guess I thought that if I told you, I'd be somehow disappointing you.",
"Kate: In a million years you could never disappoint me, Jack. Gay or straight you're a world-class human being. That's why I wanted to see you. You take me back to this nice, safe place where crushes never end and hearts can't be broken...Needed that this weekend.",
"Jack: Good. Well, I I hope you found it somehow.",
"Kate: I did. And I'm glad I get to go home knowing the real you.",
"Jack: Come here.",

"Mitch: I'm not giving you the silent treatment.",
"Dawson: You're not talkin' to me, either.",
"Mitch: I was thinking.",
"Dawson: About what?",
"Mitch: My son. It's been quite a year for ya.",
"Dawson: What do you mean?",
"Mitch: Well, it all started out with a wrecked boat and a wild party. And I was angry.",
"Dawson: Dad What I'm trying to do is get back the thought of being a kid. I mean I'm 16, and it was a party, and those things are inextricably linked.",
"Mitch: I have no problem with you going to parties. I have zero problem with you being 16. I do, I admit, have a problem with, oh, wrecked boats, strippers on the kitchen table, and fishing you out of the drunk tank a Friday night.",
"Dawson: Fair enough. But can you, uh...Chalk it up to youthful exuberance?",
"Mitch: Yes I can.",
"Dawson: Dad...Thank you. I really appreciate it.",
"Mitch: I'm not finished. Since you' suddenly decided to start acting like a kid, I guess I'm left with no choice but to start acting... Like a parent. And until you decide on a path for yourself, I've chosen one for ya.",
"Dawson: What does that mean?",
"Mitch: Your mother's planning on buying a restaurant.",
"Dawson: Really?",
"Mitch: And you're gonna work there, doing whatever she needs you to do, after school, evenings, weekends, whatever, and you're gonna do this until you begin to understand that suddenly deciding to be a kid doesn't give you license to be reckless...And irresponsible. Good night, son.",
"[Scene: Jail Cell. Doug has opened the door and is carrying 2 cups of coffee.]",
"Doug: Ahem. You were in rare form tonight.",
"Pacey: How bad do I suck, huh?",
"Doug: So what seems to be the problem?",
"Pacey: There's no problem, Dougie.",
"Doug: Oh, come on, Pacey, I found you hanging from a tree getting completely wasted. Huh? So what is it, a girl or something?",
"Pacey: What?",
"Doug: Ok. So it's a girl. Who is she?",
"Pacey: [Sighs] You know what, Dougie? It s really not that important, ok?",
"Doug: Ok.",
"Pacey: Tell you something, though. She's really, really annoying.",
"Doug: Yeah?",
"Pacey: Yeah. I mean, this girl is amazing. There is not a single subject on the face of the planet she doesn't have an opinion about. It's mind-boggling.",
"Doug: Well, that certainly sounds like a nightmare.",
"Pacey: Not me It's not quite like that. I mean, you gotta understand that the girl's really smart, so she's usually right, and when she argues, it comes from this really beautiful, pure place, how can you fight against that? Especially if you're a smart-ass like me.",
"Doug: Is she pretty?",
"Pacey: Ah. She is...Pretty. She is very, very pretty. She's actually the... That kinda pretty that gives you butterflies, you know what I mean?",
"Doug: Uh...Yeah. Never lose the butterflies.",
"Pacey: What?",
"Doug: You know, that's maybe what sucks most about getting older. Somewhere along the line you just...lose the butterflies. So the question is, little brother, what are you gonna do about it?",
"Pacey: Do?",
"Doug: Yeah, do, as in do something. Take action.",
"Pacey: No, I don't think you're really...Properly grasping the gravity of the situation, Dougie. You see, if I was actually to do something about this, there is the strong possibility that the sun would cease to shine. The tides would cease to rise. In fact, I'm betting there's a pretty good chance that the very earth would crack open and Capeside would become home to a huge hell mouth that would spew forth endless hordes of monsters and demon that would choke the denizens of the city, making them fall to their knees and pray for a return to the days before I took action. That's really what we're talking about here.",
"Doug: Huh. Yeah, maybe...Look, Pacey, uh... in my experience, you don't come across that many people with the ability to give you butterflies. You just don't. And if you don't tell this girl how you feel, well, it'll be like spending the rest of your life in your own personal prison.",
"[He opens the door for Pacey.]",
"Pacey: Hey, Doug? Ah. Thank you.",
"[Scene: outside Joey's house. It's morning and Pacey is running up to the door. He knocks on it and Joey opens the door to see him, and begins to shut the door in his face.]",
"Pacey: Wait, hold on, please? Just what I said last night was way outta line. And Yes, I was drunk, but...more to the point, I was just plain wrong. And I want you to know that I'm really sorry.",
"Joey: Well... I was worried about you, too, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Me? Why?",
"Joey: Well... Because, I mean, Satan himself could lead Dawson into the fiery pits of hell, and he would still emerge with his moral code firmly intact. But you...maybe I think that...Nobody's worrying about you right now.",
"Pacey: So, then...Ahem. What you're really saying, then, is that...given the highly dysfunctional nature of our relationship, this is actually how you press concern for me.",
"Joey: You gotta learn to read between the banter, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Right.",
"Joey: So... So are we all finished here?",
"Pacey: No. Actually. Um... There's something else.",
"Joey: Something else?",
"Pacey: Yeah. It's it's just something I've been meaning to tell you Uh...look, Joey...You're lingering on your clutch, ok? I know you think you're into the gear, but...It's not a good idea. Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow, but soon you're gonna do a lotta damage to your transmission, so what I was thinking if that if you wanted to, I could show ya.",
"Joey: Now?",
"Pacey: Ah. Yeah. Ha.",
"Joey: Ok, Pacey.",
"[Scene: They are in the pickup truck. Joey is trying to drive it while Pacey is in the Passenger seat.]",
"Pacey: Ok.",
"Joey: Now?",
"Pacey: Not now.",

"Joey is chosen as one of only a handful of students selected to paint an inspriational mural on a school wall. At the unveiling, it is revealed that Joey's mural has been vandalised, and when Pacey discovers the identity of the culprit, he takes vigilante action which lands him in trouble, and gets the vandal expelled. As part of his punishment, Principal Green enrolls him in the Capeside mentoring scheme, and Pacey seems excited at the chance to help local kids. Andie's PSAT scores come back and Principal Green reveals that she is one of the country's top scorers. Racked with guilt about her dishonesty over the test, Andie, against the advice of Jack, confesses the truth to Principal Green who is deeply disappointed. Pacey's home life becomes over-crowded when his sister Carrie and her children come to stay. He decides to move in with Doug, who is less than pleased with the idea. Pacey and Joey bond further when Dawson inadvertently pushes Joey to see how much Pacey genuinely cares for her."

"Pacey: Well not exactly kicked out. It was more like they're filming a lifetime original movie in my living room right now.",
"Joey: And which one of the Witter sisters is in complete distress right now?",
"Pacey: That would be numero uno. Left the sergeant major for conduct unbecoming, fled back to whole home front and, brought along my screaming nieces.",
"Joey: So I finally get my own room, and you have been exiled to sofa city. Ouch.",
"Pacey: My sentiments exactly",
"Joey: So, uh... So, what do you think?",
"Pacey: Oh, is it done?",
"Joey: Yes, it's done.",
"Pacey: I thought that Principal Green had commissioned you guys to do murals exemplifying school spirit and unity.",
"Joey: They did.",
"Pacey: Well...No offense, but this looks like something you'd find tattooed on Kwai Chang Caine's forehead.",
"Joey: You don't like it.",
"Pacey: I didn't say I didn't like it I'm... Pretty sure the rest of the murals, will be a little more traditional but",
"Joey: What, like football players and lighthouses? And what do they actually say about the high school experience?",
"Pacey: Jo, this is the U.S. of A. We're a very prosaic nation, and when we have art in public places we want it to be about as subtle as Godzilla.",
"Joey: Yeah, but, Pacey, don 't you think that art can have this power? I mean, it can bring people together.",
"Pacey: Oh yeah, absolutely. In museum, the thinking man's pickup joint.",
"Joey: That's what I like about you Pacey. You just Go so deep.",
"Pacey: Thanks.",
"[Scene: The school Hallway, by Joey's mural. The mural is covered up by a sheet that is taped to the wall, to prevent anyone from seeing it. Dawson comes up to it, and it trying to sneak a peek at it. Joey sees him trying this.]",
"Joey: No peeking.",
"Dawson: What, I don't get a preview?",
"Joey: No.",
"Dawson: Why not? Pacey did.",
"Joey: Dawson the unveiling is a crucial part to any new work, and...I want you to have the whole experience. He didn't tell you what it is, did he?",
"Dawson: No. He didn't. But he said it was great.",
"Joey: That means a lot, coming from the world's most discriminating art critic.",
"Dawson: He . Well, he... He knows what he likes.",
"Joey: On, Pacey's prized possession is a black velvet painting of the baby Elvis.",
"Dawson: So how's your speech coming?",
"Joey: I don't know why I have to say anything. I mean, isn't an artist just supposed to let her work speak for itself?",
"Dawson: Yeah, but when the PTA and the school board let you paint something in the hallway of a public school, they expect a little poignant ceremonial in return.",
"Joey: So are you going to be there?",
"Dawson: Of course! I mean, if you want me to.",
"Joey: I want you to. Ok, and whatever you think, be honest with me, even if you hate it--",
"Dawson: Even if I Hate it? What makes you think I'm gonna hate it Thing is.",
"Joey: It's just...",
"Dawson: The stepping out from behind the curtains, I can understand that it can be terrifying. Up there in the lights in front of all those people. Being judged.",
"Joey: Well, it's even more than that. I mean. I feel like I'm... Declaring myself for the first time. I mean... what I really think about is places and... With everyone staring at it, it's gonna be like they're looking right into my soul.",
"[Scene: School Library. The Disciplinary committee is there and they are talking with Matt Caufield about his cheating on a quiz.]",
"Matt: Give me a break. It was joke.",
"Andie: There's nothing funny about cheating, Matt.",
"Matt: Principal Green... members of the disciplinary committee. I--I admit I--I didn't know the answer on the quiz, and I did what any self-respecting kid would do in the cellular age, you know? I whipped out my Startac, I dialed home and--and I ask my mom, \"How many justices sit on the supreme court? You know, call me crazy, you know-- even Mr. Higgins laughed.",
"Andie: Ok and you're saying that your mother didn't know the answer either?",
"Matt: Uh-huh.",
"Andie: Ok so how do you explain your perfect score on the quiz?",
"Matt: I guessed.",
"Andie: Ok, Um, well, then I guess my recommendation would be that you get a failing grade on the work in question and a 3-hour detention.",
"Matt: Why don't you just break my kneecaps while you're at it?",
"Principal Green: That'll be enough Mr. Caufield. While your behavior clearly violates the letter of the honor code? I don't believe it is in violation of the spirit code.",
"Matt: Am I free to go then?",
"Principal Green: Yes, you're free to go. Mr. Caufield. Let's let this be the last time we see you before this committee.",
"[Matt and many of he others in the room leave. Principal Green, stops Andie before she leaves.]",

"Andie: News?",
"Principal Green: I was contacted this morning, by the educational testing service your phenomenal PSAT results placed you among the top 50 000 scores in the country. You young lady have taken one giant step towards a national merit scholarship. Isn't that fantastic?",
"Andie: Uh, yeah, fantastic.",

"Pacey: Come on, Dougie, please you can't make me go back to that house. I mean, Think about it. You got this whole styling bachelor pad all to yourself with the ...

"Pacey: Well, since Carrie decided to take an extended leave of absence from Jerry. You remember Jerry don't you? Our favorite Brother-in-law, the one with all the tattoos?

"Pacey: Agreed.",

"Pacey: Heart's just fine, thank you very much.",
"Doug: Oh, sure it is, little brother. Sure it is.",
"Pacey: Look, Dougie. If you're referring, to our brief jailhouse conversation the other night, you can chalk it up drunken rambling.",

"[Scene: Joey's house. Joey, Bessie and Bodie are getting ready to go see her unveiling.]",
"Joey: You are not planning on taking pictures?",
"Bodie: Uh, don't try and stop her, Joey. When a little sister accomplishes something impressive, it's very important for a big sister to create a huge embarrassing fuss over her.",
"Bessie: Yeah, the more embarrassing the better.",
"Joey: Thank you. I mean, I know it's not gonna be too fun for you to walk the halls of Capeside again, seeing it wasn't exactly your favorite place on earth.",
"Bessie: Yeah, but I'm old, remember? And that was a long time ago, and things are different now.",
"Bodie: They're not that different. What, are there, like 10 black kids in that school?",
"Joey: 11 and don't try to rewrite history, Bess. I mean... I remember days when you used to pick me up from kindergarten and you spend the whole way home hollering about some... smug, 2 faced idiots who thought they were better than you simply because you had the wrong kind of jeans.",
"Bessie: Ok, I admit it. I hated high school, but that's why I'm so glad it's not like that for you, Joey. You are talented, and everyone at that school knows it. They've known it for years, and today they're going to see proof positive that Joey Potter is force to be reckoned with.",
"[Scene: They School hallway there is a large group of student watching the unveiling of the murals and the speeches by the artists. Pacey, Dawson, Andie, and Jack, are among the students watching. Bessie and Bodie are also there. One of the artists is talking about her mural to the crowd.]",
"Artist: I painted this so that we all can remember the beacon of knowledge that our teachers shine on us every day. In closing I would like to thank Principal Green , and all of you for this opportunity to impart my message of unity.",
"Principal Green: And now, the last of our Capeside High murals. I'd like to ask Joey Potter to step up and grace us with a few words about her creation.",
"Joey: Well, uh, Principal Green said the mural should focus on what unifies us as a school, and you think about it, nothing really unifies us. Even our mascot is divisive-- the minuteman? Right there, you've listed half of the student population.",
"[Laughter]",
"Joey: ...The only thing that I could think of that unites us all, that we all have in common-- is that we all start off thinking that we can be anything that we want to be. I mean, by the time we get here, we've somehow lost that feeling. We've started to believe whatever our parents or our friends have told us about what we can achieve, about what we can got out of life, and we've forgotten about the possibility we had when we were younger. And that's what I think we all have in common. That's what the symbol on my painting means possibility. I painted it because I thought we could all use a daily reminder that if you believe in yourself, when the odds seem stacked against you anything's possible. So, I hope you like it.",

"Dawson: Hey, wait up. You ok?",
"Joey: That's what I get for answering the call to public service-- public humiliation.",
"Dawson: Nobody's humiliated in there except for maybe the person who did this.",
"Joey: It felt humiliating, Dawson, to me.",
"Dawson: Look, it was a silly prank.",
"Joey: You don't know that.",
"Dawson: You put your heart and soul into that, and I don't blame you for being angry, but don't turn this into some sort of personal attack on you.",
"Pacey: Not to stick my nose in here, but just to stick my nose in, of course it was a personal attack.",
"Dawson: What?",
"Pacey: There were only 3 murals in that hallway. Yours was the only one that got touched.",
"Dawson: So?",
"Pacey: So either someone didn't like what Joey was trying to say, or someone just didn't like you.",
"Dawson: Your logic leaves a lot to be desired.",
"Pacey: Dawson, we're in high school here. It's a veritable society unto its own with a pecking order that makers the caste system look forgiving. Who knows what subtle line you may have crossed or what offense you might have given without even knowing it?",
"Dawson: Paranoid much?",
"Pacey: You don't think there's a possibility there's somebody out there who hates Joey just for being Joey? Who hates the way she talks, the way she dresses, the way she chews on her lower lip.",
"Joey: I don't chew on my lower lip!",
"Pacey: I'm just putting it out there. Think about it. Does anybody come to mind?",
"Dawson: Why, so we can all gang up on him and call him dirty names? Do me a favor, just stay out of this. It was an act of vandalism, pure and simple. Some idiot trying to rage against the machine. That doesn't make sense.",
"Joey: Perfect! Heckle and Jeckle. This is exactly what a girl needs in the middle of an existential crisis, and it's not helping. So thanks, but no, thanks.",
"[She leaves them and they start to watch her go.]",

"Andie: Huh?",
"Jack: D.C. Throw the book at him.",
"Andie: Right, heh. You know what? Actually, Jack, I'm thinking about quitting my position.",
"Jack: On the disciplinary committee? Andie, you're, like, the senior-most student representative. That's one step below the savior for mankind as far as college admissions are concerned.",
"Andie: I know, but it's just taking up way too much time. Besides, my schoolwork's starting to slip, and the more Ii think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel about sitting in judgment of others.",
"Jack: What? I'm just a little shocked. Why? It's not like you to bail on a commitment.",
"Andie: Come on, Jack. A lot of things aren't like me, but I've done them anyway. Can you set the table?",
"Jack: Yeah.",

"Joey: The length of the lecture I'm gonna be forced to sit through.",
"Dawson: No lectures, I promise. Although I do wanna say that I'm sorry that what happened today happened.",
"Joey: Well, the whole thing was tragically lame to begin with. As if painting on a wall is going to make a change or the slightest bit of difference in school.",
"Dawson: Maybe. Maybe not.",
"Joey: For some reason, I don't like the sound of those maybes.",
"Dawson: Repaint the mural.",
"Joey: What?",
"Dawson: Do it tonight. Surprise that b*st*rd when he shows up tomorrow morning.",
"Joey: I would rather shove red-hot needles underneath my toenails, ok?",
"Dawson: Come on. You're gonna let some stupid high school prank keep you from finishing something that you obviously care about?",
"Joey: I finished it, Dawson, ok? It's not my fault that not everybody got a chance to see it.",
"Dawson: I can't believe you're being like this.",
"Joey: Like what?",
"Dawson: Defeated. Dejected. Demoralized.",
"Joey: News flash, Dawson. I can't always be, your plucky little Joey Potter. I don't have this unlimited reserve of goodwill and good faith in humanity, and sometimes, I am going to be a little depressed. It's not about demeanor. It's about not being a victim. It took me a month to do that, Dawson. I had to conceive it, and I had to execute it, and you can't just expect me to start over.",
"Dawson: Why not?",
"Joey: For the same reason you haven't shot a roll of film since January.",
"Dawson: Joey, that's completely different.",
"Joey: Really?",
"Dawson: Yes. I chose to quit filmmaking. That was a personal decision.",
"Joey: It had nothing to do with the fact that it was poorly received at the festival?",
"Dawson: Truthfully? No.",
"Joey: Well...Then how convenient for you.",
"Dawson: What does that mean?",
"Joey: You have all of these choices, Dawson. You have all of these choices that you just take for granted. I mean...God...One day, you're a filmmaker, and the next day, you're not, and tomorrow, you could wake up and decide you wanted to be a sculptor, or you wanted to just backpack through Europe, or--or--or climb Mt. Everest, and you can do that.",
"Dawson: And you can't?",
"Joey: No, I can't.",
"Dawson: Why not?",
"Joey: I can't afford to waste the time to go find myself and be artistic, and I can't afford to just reject reality and go off and chase my pipe dreams. I can't do it because that's not my life. That's your life.",
"Dawson: You know what I think this is about?",
"Joey: What?",
"Dawson: I think you're relieved. I think you're relieved somebody painted over you mural 'Cause you never had to go through the hard part-- never had to show it to the world, never had to hear what anyone else thought about it. You never had to decide for yourself how good or talented you really are. Wonder why I came over tonight? These are the keys to the school. Principal green gave 'em to me. Do what you want.",

"Matt: Do I know you?",
"Pacey: No, not really, thankfully for me. Look, rumor has it that you have this irrepressible urge to express yourself artistically.",
"Matt: What, that thing yesterday at the mural? That was pretty classic, huh? Too bad I can't take credit for it.",
"Pacey: So you didn't do it?",
"Matt: I don't know. I mean, everyone seems did, so maybe I should just do the polite thing and accept the credit and say thank you.",
"Pacey: Maybe. But, look, I'm here to tell you that not everybody thinks what you did was funny.",
"Matt: Well, some people don't have a sense of humor. Is that your problem?",
"Pacey: Yeah, that's me. I'm humorless.",
"Matt: Hmm. What do you want?",
"Pacey: I want you to apologize, and then I want you to turn yourself in, and I want you to do it before the day is done.",

"Principal Green: Mr. Curren?",
"Matt: Not a word, Dave.",

[Sighs] Ok. I have no other alternative.",
"Dawson: It's because of the mural.",
"Pacey: Hey, shut up, Dawson. This is not your fight!",
"Dawson: It's not yours either.",
"Principal Green: So what you're saying is that the reason that Mr. Witter picked a fight was because he believes that Mr. Caufield had something to do with the vandalization of the unity mural.",

"Dawson: If you didn't go anywhere near it, how did you know what it was?",
"Principal Green: That's a very good question.",
"Matt: Anyone could've taken a look. She's been working on it for weeks.",

"Matt: You know, this is ridiculous.",
"Dawson: Not to mention, if you didn't, as you say, \"give a rat's ass,\" then why would you go through all the trouble of finding out what it was?",
"Pacey: Check the floor, Caufield. I think you just painted yourself into a corner.",
"Matt: Ok. You got me. Busted. Yeah. I Jackson Pollocked some meaningless mural. You know what? For one thing, it was ugly. You know? It was an eyesore. And not to mention, why do I have to look at some trivial girl's little message to the masses every morning? Frankly, it offends me.",

"Andie: Jack, for the past 6 months, I have been walking around, feeling like the biggest hypocrite. I mean, don't you see? I've been so hard on all these other people just as a way of punishing myself. But now it's time to make amends for that.",

"Principal Green: Yes, it was only a mural... But it was so much more than just a mural. You don't fool me, Mr. Caufield. I know exactly who you are. You've been led to believe you're u touchable. So you disrupt the school. You disobey the rules. You serve to divide the student body with your arrogance and your attitude. Now, you may be smart, and you may be rich, Mr. Caufield, but you are not above the law. And for that reason, it is my decision... That you be expelled from Capeside High.",
"Matt: Expelled?",
"Principal Green: You heard me.",

"Joey: No sign of... Birch cane or knuckle rapping.",
"Dawson: No.",

"Dawson: Excuse me?",
"Joey: I know all about the little wife-swapping arrangement.",
"Dawson: Wife-- Joey, that's not how I was, and you know it.",
"Joey: Then how was it?",
"Dawson: Well, first of all, it was months ago. I mean, things were very different between us.",
"Joey: You're right. Back then I felt like you still understood me.",
"Dawson: Oh, and I don't now?",
"Joey: No. I never asked for your pity!",
"Dawson: It wasn't-- it wasn't about pity. I couldn't be there for you, but I wanted you to have someone you can turn to, someone you could talk to. Now tell me-- where is the harm in that?",
"Joey: Well, it just would have been nice if that someone could have metered a shred of genuine concern, Dawson.",
"Dawson: That someone is in that room right now because he's got a hell of a lot more than a shred of concern. [Sighs] Joey, why are you doing this?",
"Joey: Doing what?",
"Dawson: Casting aspersions on people who obviously care about you. You really think that I don't want the best for you? Pacey--I mean, is a lot of things-- impulsive, thoughtless, stubborn-- but after everything that's happened this year, can you honestly doubt for a second... That he doesn't truly care about you?",
"[Scene: Outside the office. Dawson is still waiting and Pacey finally comes out.]",
"Pacey: Let me just state for the record... I like that man in there. In fact, I'll go you one better--he is a great human being. He's got the fairness of Lincoln, the charisma of Martin Luther King, Jr. He's even-handed and tempered and, if I may say so myself, acutely susceptible to a certain type of irreverent humor.",
"Dawson: So he let you off.",
"Pacey: Not exactly.",
"Dawson: But he didn't suspend you.",
"Pacey: Well, let's just say I'm not packing my bags quite yet. Although 3 days off would have provided a welcome diversion.",
"Dawson: Ok, so divulge. What happened in there.",
"Pacey: I'm gonna be a mentor.",
"Dawson: Be a what?",
"Pacey: Mentor. You know, the Capeside Mentoring program. Since I seem to be totally incapable of suppressing my own juvenile impulses, Principal Green seems to think that I would benefit from the company and example of someone half my age.",
"Dawson: Ha ha ha!",
"Pacey: What's so funny?",
"Dawson: What about the poor kid? What are you gonna teach him?",
"Pacey: What are you talkin' about?",
"Dawson: You gonna teach him the importance of keeping a secret? Like, say, from, you know...Joey, for example?",
"Pacey: Oh, that... Uh...She told you.",
"Dawson: Yeah.",
"Pacey: Hmm. Well, what do you think the odds are that you, yourself, will be as enlightened and forgiving a person as Principal Green just was?",
"Dawson: Not good, Pace.",
"Pacey: Ok...",
"Dawson: Not good.",
"[Scene: Inside Principal Green's Office. Principal Green is reading a letter, and Andie is sitting across from him.]",
"Principal Green: To say that I am profoundly shocked and disturbed by what you did would be an understatement. Your behavior was deceitful, immoral, and ultimately, a disgrace to this school.",
"Andie: I know. I just...Wish that I could have told you sooner.",
"Principal Green: You know I'm going to have to inform the educational testing service, and that they're gonna cancel your scores, and that you're gonna have to forfeit your chance at a merit scholarship.",
"Andie: I'm aware of that. Yes.",
"Principal Green: Now...You say that there were other students who were aware of this test, but you were the only one who exploited it. Are you absolutely certain about that?",
"Andie: Absolutely certain.",
"Principal Green: What do you want me too here? What am I supposed to do about this, Andie?",
"Andie: Um... Well... I heard that Matt Caufield was expelled from Capeside today. And what I did was... No less grave of an offense.",
"Principal Green: Is that what you think?",
"Andie: I cleared out my locker, and I know that all actions have consequences.",
"Principal Green: Andie",
"Andie: Most of all... I'm sorry for letting you down and for letting myself down.",
"Principal Green: Andie... You and Matt Caufield have nothing in common. He is a selfish, spoiled young man who has no sense of right or wrong, who actually takes pleasure in hurting others. The only person that you hurt... Is yourself.",
"Andie: But I did cheat. And it was wrong, and I should be punished for it.",
"Principal Green: When you were on the disciplinary committee, one of the things that I tried to teach you was the idea of proportionality. Make the punishment fit the crime, yes, but also look at the person. Now, Matt Caufield, doesn't deserve, nor would he benefit from my leniency. But Andie McPhee... She just might.",
"Andie: I don't know what to say.",
"Principal Green: Don't say anything. Get your stuff. Put it back in your locker. As for your punishment... I have to think about that for a couple of days.",
"Andie: Thank you, Principal Green. Thank you.",

"Joey: Blank canvas, huh?",
"Pacey: You know, wipe the slate clean, tabula rasa, return to point \"a\". All that good stuff.",

"Pacey: Ah, it's just this guy I met out in the street. Some guy. Ah, your typical do-gooder type.",

"Pacey: So...You gonna thank me?",
"Joey: For what?",
"Pacey: Well, for all manner of things. You know, like defending your honor, bucking the system--",
"Joey: Tilting at windmills while in the throes of a misguided hero complex?",
"Pacey: Well, yeah, that, too.",
"Joey: Pacey, if I was going to thank you for anything, it would be for being yourself, and, you know, not caring what anybody else thinks and for knowing in your heart what's right and wrong and... For being there this year... When I needed you the most.",
"Pacey: You're welcome. So you want help?",
"Joey: One condition.",
"Pacey: Sure. Name it.",
"Joey: You gotta be honest. The only reason you've been hanging out with me is simply because Dawson told you to?",
"Pacey: Yep. That's the only reason.",

"Joey enlists the help of her friends to rally the school in protest after Principal Green is pressured to resign over the student he expelled. Dawson talks Gail into making a news report on the situation, which leads to her being offered another job in television which she happily turns down in favour of starting her restaurant. Pacey's feelings for Joey are becoming more and more obvious, and he turns to Jen to talk about things.

"Joey: Yeah. If you're an enraged parent with a misguided agenda, It's going great.",

"Mr. Caufield: Miss Potter, my son tells me that you are the one who's mural was destroyed.",
"Joey: This has nothing to do with me, ok?",
"Mr. Caufield: You're exactly right. What it has to do with is the scare tactics of a man whose extremism and notions of justice, are better suited for an urban war zone than our civilized community.",

"Gail: I saw a bunch of out of control parents. Which, for this town, is hardly news.",

"Pacey: You know how this system works, Jo. Convicts, mental defectives, and people under the age of 18 are routinely denied the chance to participate in decisions that affect their everyday lives.",
"Joey: And the problem is that the squeaky wheel gets all the grease. I mean, all these idiots rant and rave about low test scores. I mean, the people who are perfectly happy with the way things are just sit back and mind their own business.",

The uproar started when a high school girl painted a mural that was intended to bring unity. Instead, all it brought was discord and the potential resignation of a high school principal under siege. Howard Green has thus far refused to comment publicly on his controversial decision to expel Matt Caufield, a senior, accused of vandalizing the so-called unity mural and fighting with another boy who took exception to the prank. The other boy was let off with only community service, leading some in this community to question Green's motives and wonder whether he's let some kind of personal agenda affect his judgment. Joey potter, the girl who painted the mural, was present at tonight' meeting and summed it up best when she said this about Caufield's harsh punishment.",

"Joey: And what advice was that?",
"Pacey: This meeting. Rallying the troops. I have to say, this is a big step forward for you. I mean, I'm known as the Capeside Crusader far and wide, breaking down sexual stereotypes, eradicating rogue teachers, but you, you're definitely more the rebel without the cause type. So, look, I just wanted to say don't hesitate to ask for any help that you might need, seeing that this whole thing was my idea in the first place.",
"Joey: You were encouraging, yes, Pacey, but this meeting wasn't hardly your idea.",

"Dawson: What if... you tried to tell the real story about what's going on?",
"Gail: Relive my glory days as a field reporter?",
"Dawson: All you would need to get back in the game is a camera.",
"Gail: And a crew.",
"Dawson: In these days of digital video, a crew is one person.",
"Gail: Oh, and just who would my one person be?",
"Dawson: You do have one indentured servant at your disposal.",
"Gail: I don't know, honey. Even if we did this and we did it right, I can't promise the station would run it. They've made it clear many times over that my services are past their prime.",

"Joey: Well, parents can picket a school, students can picket a superintendent's office.",
"Superintendent: Fair enough. And just what is it you intend to accomplish with this first amendment display?",
"Joey: Well, it's our belief that Principal Green was right in expelling Matt Caufield, and he shouldn't be forced into changing his ruling simply because--",
"Superintendent: No one's forcing him.",
"Joey: Pardon me, Dr Fielding, but you threatened to ask for his resignation",
"Superintendent: That wasn't a threat. That was a direct request.",
"Joey: As a representative of the student body, I'm telling you what is happening to Principal Green is wrong.",
"Superintendent: As far as I know, all you represent is that meager handful of students out there right now. And that's it.",
"Joey: Well, there's more of us.",
"Superintendent: Oh, really?",
"Joey: Yeah! A lot more. In fact, we have a--a student-signed petition with 300 signatures.",
"Superintendent: 300?",
"Joey: Mm-hmm. And there's going to be a rally tomorrow night. I mean, if you think the crowd last night was vocal, you just wait until tomorrow.",
"Superintendent: I didn't know about this.",
"Joey: Make no mistake, Dr. Fielding, there's a voice that doesn't agree with what's happening here, and that voice will be heard.",
"Superintendent: I'm all ears. Now, I suggest that you and your friends hurry back to school before that Principal you love so dearly has to serve you with detention for cutting class.",

"Joey travels to Boston for a date with AJ, but when she senses that he has feelings for another girl, she becomes tense and wants to leave. Upon arriving at the train station and seeing that there are no departures for several hours, Joey calls Pacey, who drives to pick her up. Pacey pushes Joey to tell him what went wrong with AJ, and when she confesses, the conversation leads to Joey telling Pacey she feels like he is one of the few people who has ever really known her. Hearing this, Pacey instantly pulls the car over to the side of the road, and after a fractured and emotional speech, dramatically kisses Joey.

"Buzz: But when they really get to know you, they discover under the rough exterior, lies a vulnerable beating heart. Get real. I'm not like one of those kids on 7th Heaven. And I'm not like you, Pissy.",
"Pacey: Pacey.",
"Buzz: Whatever, Pissy.",
"Pacey: Pacey. And you don't know anything about me, kid.",
"Buzz: I know you think you don't want to be here, but you're just dying to throw your arm around me and have a warm and fuzzy. Well, don't bother, cause you're gonna be back here trying to get rid of me. I give you 48 hours, kid.",

"Morgan: She did better than you!",
"A.J.: I'm sorry, I asked her to pick you up, not take you on an endurance test.",

"Joey: Did you two ever date?",
"A.J.: Joey, look, I promise you, you have nothing to worry about.",
"Joey: Oww.",

"Joey: It's beautiful.",
"Morgan: Yeah, well, he may chicken out and not even show up tomorrow night. You know, sometimes you really have to kick his butt. I mean, once I gave him some thick gray crayon paper. Told him he had to fill it up with words before he talked to me. And he didn't talk to me for two weeks!",

[laughter; reading] Silent Dream. It had always seem like a silent dream to her. The many meaningless passings in the hallway. The sense of disconnection from those she supposedly knew so well. When she met him, the boy she'd already known all her life, she realized that love unspoken is the loudest sound of all. And she awoke. [he glances at Morgan, which Joey notices.] Her name was Mary. More than anything, she'd love to read the Sunday Times on Saturday night. [Joey is beginning to realize that the story is about Morgan She starts to feel a little uncomfortable, because it has a deep meaning for both of them.] Mary dated frequently, but sadly, felt her time spent alone was her only shelter from the rain.

"Councilor: So, he tests the people in his life, just to see if they'll come back to him If you'd like, we can reassign you immediately.",
"Pacey: Reassign? You thought I came in here because I couldn't handle the kid? I don't know what kind of problems those other four guys had, but there's not a kid on earth that Pacey Witter can't handle. The only reason I came in here was to ask if I could pick him up early tomorrow.",

"Joey: No",
"A.J.: Well than where is this coming from?",
"Joey: I know what it's like to harbor feelings for somebody that you deny. I know how horrible it is to realize those feelings way too late. And this is coming from my own experience, my own life, which honestly, you know very little about.",
"A.J.: Well, God, Joey, give me a chance. Let me get to know more about you. Isn't that the fun part?",

"A.J.: Well, then let's make it real.",
"Joey: See, you already have something that is real. And Morgan is just recently realized it. Why do you think she came back from France? Can't you hear it, too?",

"[Scene: Outside along the shoreline. Dawson is out there thinking when Jen comes up to him.]",
"Jen: Looks like you've been out here for awhile. Bet you could use a friend.",
"Dawson: For someone who's been so rapped up in her whole little world, you're pretty perceptive.",
"Jen: Well that's just the kind of the girl I am. Thoughtful, empathetic. And I can see pretty much everything that happens out here from the restaurant.",
"Dawson: So you heard the fight I had with my mom.",
"Jen: Yeah. And then I caught a mini version of her wrath myself. Just after I broke a few more plates.",
"Dawson: I think the pressure of the restaurant has finally gotten to her. You saw, all I was trying to do was help her out. She completely unloaded on me.",
"Jen: I think you were trying to do a little more than just help her. You were trying to help yourself, too.",
"Dawson: How so?",
"Jen: You're trying to put your family back together, Dawson.",
"Dawson: No, I'm not. You saw how angry I was at the B&B when they tried to pose as husband and wife.",
"Jen: Exactly, because it was a façade, a lie. Of course that upset you. What's going on at the restaurant is real.",
"Dawson: What's going on in the restaurant is chaos.",
"Jen: We invariably return to what we know, Dawson. What's in our bones. Your family, that's in your bones.",
"Dawson: Yeah, but I know that they're not getting back together. So, so what am I doing?",
"Jen: Remember a couple of years ago, at that spot right over there, you asked me to dance. And you said that you wanted to be my boy adventure.",
"Dawson: Did I really say that? God, I was so naïve.",
"Jen: And sweet, and honest. On the outside you're not that same naïve, little boy anymore. You've been through too much recently. But deep down at your core, there's always gonna be a part of you that rejects reality. And that's eternally hopeful. And just wants his parents back together.",
"[Scene: Inside the Boston train station. Joey is sitting on a bench, and she has been crying, when Pacey enters and walks up to her.]",
"Pacey: Hey.",
"Joey: Hey.",
"Pacey: So what happened?",
"Joey: Nothing happened.",
"Pacey: You got bored? You got homesick? He finally ripped off his rubber mask and revealed his true alien features? What?",
"Joey: I don't want to talk about it.",
"Pacey: Oh, well, forgive me if I'm having a little bit of trouble with the 'no questions asked' part.",
"[Scene: Inside the new restaurant. Dawson enters and walks over to his mother. He notices that a lot has been done since he left the night before. He is actually quite surprised.]",
"Gail: Good morning.",
"Dawson: Good morning. I came here to apologize for undercutting your authority and offer my service, but it looks like you're doing just fine without me. [He takes the cup that Gail offers him.] This coffee tastes like clam chowder.",
"Gail: Oh, that's good.",
"Dawson: This is good.",
"Gail: Uh huh!",
"Dawson: This is not the place I left last night.",
"Gail: Oh, you mean you weren't at Leery's Fresh Fish?",
"Dawson: I thought Leery's Fresh Fish was",
"[Mitch is on the end of the bar hanging the sign that Jack and Andie brought in, now with the name on it.]",
"Mitch: It's her name, too, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Okay, so what's going on?",
"Gail: You know, you were right about what you said, honey. I do need a partner, I was just too proud to admit it.",
"Mitch: Well, don't be so hard on yourself. Running a restaurant takes many talents. You've got the most important one. You know how to delegate.",
"Dawson: So you made Dad a partner after all?",
"Mitch: No, that would never work. She hired me as a General Manager.",
"Gail: Oh, 'hired' being the operative word.",
"Mitch: My first order of business was to strongly suggest she make Bodie her partner.",
"Dawson: Bodie? Well, wait",
"Gail: Yeah, well he's going to own 20% of the business and in return he's going to provide me with all his recipes, over see the kitchen, work only nights that way it won't take him away from his B&B. Oh, and we're going to have to fire Jen from the wait staff.",
"Dawson: But",
"Gail: Honey, as a waitress she's going to put me out of business in a week.",
"Mitch: But she'd make a charming hostess.",
"Dawson: I think she would like that. Apparently you guys work well together.",
"[Scene: Inside Pacey's Car. Pacey and Joey are driving back to Capeside. They are both quiet, and Joey is looking out the window still drying a little.]",
"Pacey: So, you ever gonna speak again? Come on, Jo, say something.",
"Joey: What do you want me to say, Pacey? You were right? You were right, okay? Right as always. Pacey Witter, the only person in my life who ever speaks the truth.",
"Pacey: That's not entirely accurate.",
"Joey: Well, you told me what was going to happen.",
"Pacey: Which was what, Joey? What happened up there?",
"Joey: There was another girl.",
"Pacey: Oh. I'm sorry, Jo.",
"Joey: You know the whole time that I was watching them, I just kept thinking, 'This is it. This is real. Just like Pacey said. This is the real thing.' And it reminded me once again, what exactly I don't have.",
"Pacey: Keeping looking, you'll find it.",
"Joey: No I won't. Isn't it obvious by now, I'm not meant to.",
"Pacey: Why? Cause you're 16 and alone? Come on",
"Joey: No, because I'm 16, and in my entire life there's been 2 people who actually know me, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Dawson and This A.J. guy didn't know you. I don't care how you felt about him, Jo, he didn't know you, cause if he did, he never would have walked away.",
"Joey: I was going to say you, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Okay.",
"[Pacey pulls the car off the road and comes to a stop.]",
"Joey: Have you totally lost it?",
"Pacey: Not totally yet.",
"[They both get out of the car and and walk around to the side of it away from the road. ]",
"Pacey: Alright, what did you mean by that?",
"Joey: By what?",
"Pacey: About me knowing you better than anybody else.",
"Joey: Exactly what I said, Pacey. You know me, okay? In a way that nobody else besides Dawson ever had",
"Pacey: I'm not talking about Dawson, right now. We're talking about me. You can't keep on doing this to me, Potter.",
"Joey: Doing what? So I count on you and I tell you secrets and",
"Pacey: And you call me in the middle of the night to pick you up. Why?",
"Joey: I'm sorry that I called. I thought that I",
"Pacey: I'm not mad that you called me, I just want to know why you called me.",
"Joey: You were the first person that I thought of, Pacey.",
"Pacey: What does that mean, Jo?",
"Joey: It means that I guess it It means that I can talk to you, and that you're there for me",
"Pacey: Don't you ever get tired of talking?",
"Joey: No. I don't",
"Pacey: Well I get tired of talking",
"Joey: I don't get tired. I don't",
"Pacey: I don't want to talk anymore.",
"Joey: What are you trying to say? Why are we standing",

Dawson_s_Creek_03x18.json | [
"After the kiss, Joey is upset by Pacey's impulsive actions and they both head home to discuss the situation with their siblings. Pacey receives encouragement from Doug that Joey might be protesting a little too much, and attempts to tell Dawson how he feels, in the hope that he will then give Pacey the green light to tell Joey everything. However, he fails to confess when events conspire against him. Joey attempts to make sense of everything by having a rare girls night with Jen and Andie, and a moment of clarity with Jen forces her to acknowledge that Pacey might not be the only one in a state of confusion. Jen has a fight with Henry, but later forgives him when she realizes he was lying to her with the best intentions."

"[Scene: The Kiss. Pacey is on the side of the road kissing Joey, when she stops him, shoving hi as she talks to him.]",
"Joey: Ohh! Are you insane? How could you do that? How could you take some simple declaration of friendship as an invitation to just maul me, Pacey? Answer me. What were you thinking? What?",
"Pacey: What? I don't know. It--it--it was an impulse.",
"Joey: An impulse?!",
"Pacey: Yes, an impulse. You know, sudden, momentary, and, believe me, fleeting.",
"Joey: Do you have any idea of the monumental implications of that meaningless little impulse? The ripple effect that it could create in our small but fragile universe?",
"Pacey: You're right, Potter. Forgive me for thinking a kiss is just a kiss.",
"Joey: Well, it's true. A kiss is not just a kiss, not between you and me, and you know why. Dawson? Remember? He factors into this little... Hormonal meltdown.",
"Pacey: \"Meltdown\"?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Pacey: I just had a meltdown? Forgive me if I don't think that this is the worst tragedy in the history of humankind-- that Pacey Witter, in a moment of... Impulsive, compulsive, hormone-induced insanity, would have the nerve to kiss Joey Potter. And you let me do it. You did, you let me do it. So, what, now I guess the universe begins to unravel. Well, excuse me while I get in the car.",
"Joey: Oh!",
"Pacey: Would you get in the car, potter!",
"Joey: No!",
"Pacey: Will you just get in the car, potter, please?",
"Joey: No.",
"Pacey: I didn't even mean it. You know? This is me Pacey-- act first, think later. And now that I'm getting a chance to think about it, I take it all back, ok? So get in the car.",
"Joey: No.",
"Pacey: Jo, it's at least another 6 miles to your house. It is freezing cold outside. And if you don't get in, I'm just gonna do this the whole way there. So would you get in please?",
"Joey: [Sighs]",
"Pacey: So I guess I'm to take it from your angry silence that you're not speaking to me anymore.",
"Joey: Nope.",
"Pacey: Great, great. And how long you planning on keeping that up?",
"Joey: How does \"indefinitely\" sound?",
"Pacey: Fine.",
"Joey: Fine.",
"Pacey: Fine.",
"Joey: Fine.",

"Bessie: So, are you planning to fill me in, or do I have to die from anticipation?",
"Joey: What?",
"Bessie: How was it seeing A.J.? And leave no sordid detail unturned.",
"Joey: Well, let's see... We broke up, and then Pacey went insane and kissed me.",
"[Cut to Diner]",
"Doug: Hey, you kissed her. Good for you.",
"[Cut to Joey's House]",
"Bessie: Oh, my god. Oh, my god. How could he do this to you?",
"Joey: Well, technically, I maybe sort of... Let him do it to me, but I still blame him entirely.",
"[Cut to Diner]",
"Pacey: The whole thing was her fault. I mean, she told me that I was the one she thinks about. You know? Me. And then she gives me this look. What was I supposed to do? Do you know how long I've been waiting for her to give me that look",
"[Cut to Joey's House]",
"Joey: And then he gave me this look, this look, like...",
"Bessie: I know the look.",
"[Cut to Diner]",
"Doug: Look, I don't get it. She gave you the look. You kissed her, it was a good kiss. So what's the problem?",
"Pacey: Well, the hitting, punching, and rejecting. That might be a bit of a problem, not to mention",
"[Cut to Joey's House]",
"Joey: Dawson. I mean, if he found out, I don't even want to think about what would happen if he found out. I know one thing-- we could kiss our friendship goodbye.",
"[Cut to Diner]",
"Pacey: He'd never speak to me again. I can't risk that. He's the brother I never had.",
"Doug: So what you're saying is Joey's like a bus.",
"Pacey: No. What I'm saying is Joey is like girl. No, no.",
"Doug: Hear me out, ok? Joey is like a bus that can't go below 50. Dawson is a bomb hidden underneath that bus. And you are the brave, heroic police officer wanting to drive the bus to safety, but can't because of the bomb.",
"[Cut to Joey's house]",
"Joey: Do you think it was more than just an impulse?",
"Bessie: I don't know, Joey.",
"Joey: You're sure a big help.",
"Bessie: I'm sorry. Look, I'm obviously not telling you what you want to hear because I honestly don't know. You know, maybe you should talk to someone about it, someone who could help you figure it out.",
"Joey: Who? Dawson, Pacey, Andie? This is what you're supposed to help me with.",
"Bessie: I can't shed light on this one for you. I'm sorry, Joey.",
"[Cut to outside diner]",
"Doug: You need to forge ahead. Things can work between you 2, if you first defuse the bomb. Pacey, you need to tell Dawson about Joey. Ok? Now, the trick is to do it in a manner that makes it impossible for him to hate you. Now, what I suggest is you take him to a place that reminds him of the long history the 2 of you share, a place where he'll think about how much you really mean to him. Then you tell him. Oh, sure, yeah, he'll be upset, but he'll also understand that your friendship is more important to him. In fact, he'll probably respect the fact that you cared enough to tell him in the first place, in which case, he'll tell you to go right on ahead. And you and Joey can just drive off into the sunset.",
"Pacey: That's your advice?",
"Doug: And what is wrong with that advice?",
"Pacey: Nothing. There's nothing wrong with that advice. It's just very thought out and un-Dougie-like. However, even if your ridiculous plan was to work, you've left out a couple of minor details, I.E. Her hitting, her punching, her yelling",
"Doug: Oh, grow up, little brother. Do you think she would've reacted so strongly if she didn't feel something for you, too?",
"Pacey: Hmm?",
"[Scene: Outside The McPhee house. Jack is eating breakfast, and Andie comes out to join him.]",
"Andie: Ohh! There was no hot water in the shower today, I ran out of shampoo, and I have 2 tests, french and math. What are you so smiley about?",
"Jack: Ethan's coming early this afternoon. He's going to spend the weekend.",
"Andie: Hmmm! Do I smell a romance a-brewin', big brother?",
"Jack: Come on. It is possible for 2 males to be friends without it turning sexual, you know?",
"Andie: Jack, I'm not talking about your orientation. I'm talking about the fact that you can't wipe that grin off your face.",
"Jack: I'm serious. I'm just glad i finally found a friend who actually, you know, accepts me for who I am and understands. It's just a gigantic relief, that's all.",
"Andie: So, uh, what does dad have to say about all this?",
"Jack: Well, he's got that business trip this weekend anyway, so I figured, you know, why risk a fight? What?",
"Andie: Uh, dad canceled it.",
"Jack: Unh! Ohh. Well, you know what? So what? You know, it's a harmless situation. I'm an adult, pretty much, and if I want to have a friend come over to the house, I can. You know? There's not a damn thing he can say about it.",
"Mr. McPhee: Not a damn thing who cay about what?",
"Andie: Uh, not a damn thing the congress can say to the president if he decides to veto that new tax initiative reform thingy.",

"Henry: How'd you find out?",
"Jen: I have my sources, and in honor of your birth, I planned us a little outing. Dinner, a movie, and then comes your present, which will remain a surprise so don't even try and get it out of me.",
"Henry: Jen, actually, I can't. Well, not tomorrow, at least.",
"Jen: Why not?",
"Henry: I have plans.",
"Jen: You have plans on your birthday?With who? Your other girlfriend?",
"Henry: With my mother and my family. You know, it's a family thing, no friends.",

"Jock: Hey, Henry. I'll see you at your party tomorrow, man. Can't wait.",

"Henry: Oh, ok, just--just let me explain, ok?",
"Jen: Oh, I can't think of one possible thing you would say right now that would dig you out of the grand canyon-size hole you are in. But while you frantically search for a shovel, I'm going to class.",

"Pacey: \"Construction to begin next week on phase 3 of capewoods condominiums.\" And?",
"Dawson: And? Pacey, they're gonna bulldoze our woods. Our fort. That's where we did all our pre-adolescent male bonding.",
"Pacey: Ah, yeah. Our first furtive glances at playboy, you watching me take my first sips of stolen beer.",
"Dawson: We should protest it, you know? We should handcuff ourselves to the fort, or",
"something.",
"[Cut Andie's table]",
"Andie: You seem a little-- I don't know-- weird, or something.",
"Joey: I'm fine.",
"Andie: I'm joking. So, how was your weekend? Anything interesting happen?",
"Joey: Um... Nah.",
"[Cut to Dawson's table]",
"Pacey: You know what we should do? We should go camping. You and I. Give the old fort one last hurrah.",
"Dawson: Really?",
"Pacey: Yeah, I mean, this could be our last chance, man. Pacey and Dawson paying homage to their swiftly disappearing childhood.",
"Dawson: That's a really good idea. Let's do it. Let's go camping.",
"Pacey: Great. Ok.",
"[Cut to Andie's Table]",
"Joey: What's wrong?",
"Jen: Well, my boyfriend is ashamed of me and a weaselly little liar, but other than that, I'm just peachy.",
"Andie: Sorry, Jen.",
"Joey: Me, too.",
"Jen: Well, given the pathetic track record of my love life, why would I expect any less?",
"Andie: Ok, you know what, friend other girls don't have these problems like we do. And you want to know why? Because they actually hang out together.",
"Jen: What do you mean?",
"Andie: I mean, this mood of yours is in clear need of a little estrogen energy boost. Not to mention the fact that there's this mysterious black cloud hanging over Joey's head. So, I think this calls for a girls' night out.",
"Joey: A girls' night out?",
"Andie: Yeah. Ok, don't you guys think it's a little abnormal that the two of you never hang out with anybody who doesn't have a pen1s? You'd be surprised at how powerful female bonding can be. Haven't you ever seen Thelma and Louise?",
"Joey: Andie, they killed somebody.",
"Jen: And then they drove off of a cliff.",
"Andie: Yeah, but the point is, they did it together. Solidarity. I mean, in this cold, cruel world, a girl can rely on one thing: Her sisters. I need a little female bonding, and so do you. So, what do you say?",
"Jen: You know what? I'm in.",
"Andie: Yay, Jen.",

"Jack: Dad. You're home early.",
"Mr. McPhee: Could I see you for a minute? What's the meaning of this?",
"Jack: No meaning, he's a friend.",
"Mr. McPhee: If you had just asked my permission, you would have saved yourself the embarrassment of having to tell that boy to go home.",
"Jack: He just took a 2-hour train ride from boarding school. I'm not telling him to go home.",
"Mr. McPhee: Jack, this is not a good weekend for guests.",
"Jack: This is not a good weekend for guests, or this is not a good weekend for the kind of guests that I would have?",
"Mr. McPhee: That is not what i said.",
"Jack: No, but it's what you mean. Look, dad, i don't care, all right? He's a friend, he's staying. I don't have to justify that to you.",
"Mr. McPhee: But you felt you had to keep it from me, which makes it all the more clear that it's not a good idea.",
"Jack: Yeah, I felt I had to keep it from you because I knew you'd react this way.",
"Mr. McPhee: My answer is no.",
"Jack: Look... You know what? I don't care what your answer is, because I'm not asking. When I moved back home, there was a promise that this would be an open household, that I could live my life free of judgment.",
"Mr. McPhee: As long as you're under my roof",
"Jack: The only reason I'm here is because of Andie. You know what? I'm glad you came back here this weekend. 'Cause if watching me hang out with my friends makes you suffer, then you deserve to suffer. !",

"Buzz: Girlfriend?",
"Pacey: No, nosy. I'm going camping with my buddy Dawson.",
"Buzz: But I want to go camping. Why don't you take me camping?",
"Pacey: Because I can't. This is a no-kids trip. It's just me and Dawson. But next time-- you and me, camping. I promise. How does that sound, huh? See you on Sunday?",
"Buzz: Whatever. Bye, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Ok.",

"Andie: I'll go first. Facials and pedicures. What do you think? Great! Ok, I'll go get the stuff ready.",
"Jen: So, what's up?",
"Joey: Not much.",
"Jen: Really? 'Cause, Joey, if you're going through a particular situation right now and you need somebody to talk to, somebody to shed light but yet who's still uninvolved, I just wanted to let you know I'm here.",
"Joey: Do you have any information you'd like to share about a particular situation?",
"Jen: You, me, Dawson, Pacey-- it's a real incestuous little group. Now, I know I'm just standing on the periphery, but it seems like there's a whole world balance that's definitely been shifting.",
"Joey: You know, what I'd like to know is... How some meaningless impulsive scenario-- which was over before it began-- somehow became public knowledge. And what makes you think that I want to talk about it?",
"Jen: Joey, nothing's public knowledge, and I have no idea what particular scenario you're referring to, but it's pretty clear from your attitude that it's not meaningless. And like I said before, if you need somebody to talk to, to help figure things out with it, I just wanted to tell you that I'm here.",
"[Scene: The McPhee house. Jack and Ethan are playing Chess. Mr. McPhee comes in.]",
"Mr. Mcphee: So, what are you kids up to?",
"Jack: What does it look like we're up to?",
"Mr. McPhee: Mind if I join you?",
"Jack: Actually, yes. Why don't you go over to Jen's with a pair of binoculars and spy on Andie for a while?",
"Jack: God. You'd think he'd be a little less blatant about watch dogging us. I'm sorry to put you through this.",
"Ethan: Don't worry about it. I've been there and back with my own dad. I know how to handle it.",
"[Scene: the sidewalk. Pacey and Dawson are walking together with backpacks on and talking.]",
"Pacey: How the hell did we do this when we were 10 years old?",
"Dawson: Then, all we had on our backs were a bag of chips and a couple Capri suns.",
"Pacey: Yeah, I guess a lot's changed since then.",
"Dawson: Yeah, of course.",
"Pacey: But change is good, right? I mean, change can be good. You know, sometimes even change that seems like it's bad can end up being good.",
"Pacey: Hey, there it is, man. Our old fort. Fruit of an entire summer's labor. Still standing. Dawson: You know, that's just typical.",
"Pacey: Of what?",
"Dawson: Of me. Everything-- the fence, the fort, the old lady, the dog-- I remember all these things as being bigger than life. In reality, they're just ordinary. Maybe my whole life was just ordinary.",
"Pacey: All this over an old fort? We were 9 years old when we built this, Dawson. What do you expect, the Taj Mahal?",
"Dawson: Of course not it's just I... I don't know. Recently I've been trying to connect with who I was in the past, when I had all this passion and I knew who I was, and things were simple-- magical, even. But now I just-- I don't know, maybe I never was that person. Maybe I just thought I was.",
"Pacey: You know, it's funny you should put it that way because what it sounds to me like is-- sounds like you're looking for an answer, you know? And so am I, because just this morning I was sittin' over breakfast with deputy Doug-- of all people to ask for an answer, but you know-- so he tells me that I should probably come to you because you're the one who's gonna have the answer that I need, so--",

"Jen: Ugh. I know. I can barely move my cheeks.",
"Andie: Still have 2 1/2 more minutes.",
"Joey: This popcorn is good.",
"Andie: Thanks. It was my mom's specialty when I was a kid. Reminds me of being a child. Don't you wish you could be 10 years old again? Everything was so simple and under control then. God, I felt so protected.",
"Joey: You know, I know what you mean. I mean, I miss the time when i could just climb the trees and roll around in the mud and hang out with the boys. It was like we were the same. None of this stupid man-woman stuff getting in the way. I felt free to just be myself.",
"Jen: I never really got to be a little girl. My mom wouldn't let me play in the dirt because it wasn't proper, and she wouldn't let me dress up in her high heels because they were too expensive. And she was not about to let me pig out because she was afraid I'd get fat.",
"Joey: All I want to do is eat ice cream. Eat ice cream, pretend to be a kid, and forget about those stupid boys.",
"Jen: Oh, I know. They're twits. Awful. I mean, maybe it's genetic or something, but enough is enough.",
"Jen: And they lie. Mmm.",
"Joey: They mess with your heads.",
"Jen: And the worst is when they have feelings for you and they won't even admit it. You know what?",
"Joey: I've decided on my activity. My favorite place as a kid. The roller rink.",
"Andie: Roller skating!",
"Jen: Good! I think that your activity can overlap with mine.",

"Pacey: Yay. I just want you to know, a 10-year-old with a cell phone is just plain wrong.",
"Buzz: Dawson was gonna tell us a story.",
"Dawson: That's right, that's right. I was gonna tell you a story about a very old man who was very rich and decided to build a very unusual type of amusement park.",
"Buzz: With dinosaurs, and they called it Jurassic park, and I've seen it 12 times. Try again.",
"Dawson: Ok. Uh... All right, this is a story about a boy named Elliott who thought he saw a goblin in his tool shed out back and",
"Boy #1: Hel-lo! That was a movie. It's called E.T.",
"Dawson: Ok, a great white shark?",
"All: No!",
"Boy #2: Why don't you tell us one of your stories.",
"Dawson: Ok. All right, well... This is a true story, and Pacey said I shouldn't tell you guys, but, you know, I think you can handle it. Actually, it takes place in the woods that we're sitting in right now. It's about an old man who actually used to live in that fort back there. It used to be his home. His name is Max, which is an ordinary enough name, but Max is not an ordinary guy. Max is evil. Nobody knows why, but he hates things that are adorable, kind, or even happy. And he walks around these woods. He used to be a lumberjack, so he carries this huge, bloody ax. He stalks the woods killing bunnies, birds, whatever he can come across; but his favorite target... Is 9-year-olds. You ok, buzz?",
"Buzz: Just keep goin'.",
"Dawson: One day, max arrived home to find 3 boys sleeping in his house.",
"[Scene: The roller rink. Jen, Joey and Andie are roller-skating around the rink talking while wearing all these fancy scarves and makeup.]",
"Andie: You know what? I was thinking about what you guys said earlier, about how all guys are twits? And I think you're right, but I think there's more to it than that because... Sometimes, you know when they give you that certain look? You know, that look that says you are exactly where they want to be right now. And you feel it for them, too. And then you just melt like this big blob of ice cream, even when you don't want to. Pacey used to do that to me all the time. Right before he kissed me. Made my knees weak.",
"Jen: Henry's got a look like that. Does it to me every time. Whoa!",
"Andie: Ok, who wants to go again?",
"Jen: Oh, no. No, no, no. I'm gonna take a break.",
"Joey: Ok.",
"Andie: Come on, joey. Ok. Let's go. Bye.",
"Jen: Bye.",
"[Chanting] henry, henry, henry! [Chanting] henry, henry, henry!",
"[Jen turns around to see Henry and others at his party]",
"Jen: Henry?",
"Henry: Hi.",
"[Scene: At dinner. Ethan, Jack and Mr. McPhee are there talking. Jack is kind of upset, and Ethan and Mr. McPhee are talking about cars.]",
"Ethan: You had a '57 ford thunderbird? I can't believe it. That's my dream car.",
"Mr. McPhee: Let me tell you, it drove like a dream, too. Mint condition. Cherry red, black interior, 8 cylinders, 3 speeds, convertible. Jack, do you remember that photograph your mother took of the two of us on the bumper when you were just a baby?",
"Jack: I guess I blocked it out.",
"Ethan: Why'd you get rid of it?",
"Mr. McPhee: Oh, you know. Kids and everything. It was impractical. But I loved that car. I cried when I traded it in. Tears.",
"Ethan: Oh, man. I can't believe that.",
"Jack: Me neither.",
"Mr. McPhee: I haven't thought about that in years. Jack used to beg me to take him for rides in it. You remember that car, Jack?",
"Jack: I think I already said no.",
"Mr. McPhee: Right. There's a classic car museum just down the road, stay open late on weekends. They've got a 1926 Cadillac. Blow your mind, Ethan.",
"Ethan: Sounds great.",
"Mr. McPhee: Jack?",
"Jack: Great.",
"[Scene: Back at the Fort. Pacey is digging near the fire, when he hits something with the shovel, and he pulls a box out of the ground.]",
"Pacey: Dawson. Hey, check it out, man.",
"Dawson: Oh, my god, I completely forgot about this. Ok, the ticket stub from the first time I saw Jurassic Park. And the second, and the third.",
"Pacey: That's just sad, man.",
"Dawson: Tell me about it.",
"Pacey: Hey, check this out. It's deputy Doug's pocket knife. You know, my dad never found the evidence, but he still gave me the spanking of a lifetime. Go figure.",
"Dawson: Oh, my god. Look at this. It's a picture of me and little Joey Potter. Look at how beautiful she was, even then. We had no idea.",
"Pacey: We must have been deaf, dumb, and blind not to notice.",
"Dawson: What's this? \"The secret code of Pacey Witter and Dawson Leery.\" Do you remember this? You drew this up the day that--",
"Pacey: The day that we became blood brothers.",
"Dawson: Yeah. It's our oath of loyalty.",
"Pacey: Yeah.",
"Dawson: God, this is great. I can't-- I can't believe you found this. It's so-- isn't it weird how you can just, like, put your friendship with somebody in a box, bury it, and completely forget about it?",
"Pacey: Yeah.",
"[Scene: the Roller Rink. Jen and Henry are talking together while skating alone.]",
"Jen: Again, let me just assure you that this is a pure coincidence. I am not crashing your party, and your mom insisted that we stay, and that's the only reason. So you can stop being mad.",
"Henry: I'm not mad. Humiliated, maybe, but not mad.",
"Jen: Oh, wait a minute. First you lie to me about this party, then you hurt my feelings by not inviting me, and then I accidentally show up anyway, wearing this? And you're humiliated?",
"Henry: Can you blame me? Look around, Jen. This place is fit for a 6-year old. I told my mom I'd do it this last time. How could I have brought you? You wouldn't have possibly understood.",
"Jen: Come on. How do you know what I'll understand unless you tell me?",
"Henry: It's been hard enough trying to get you to stop thinking of me as an innocent little kid. Then what-- bring you to this? Come on.",
"Jen: Henry, how many times do I have to tell you this? Your innocence is one of the best things about you. It's helping me find the same thing within myself. You don't have to hide who you are. Not from me.",
"Henry: So are you saying that you forgive me?",
"Jen: I'm saying I don't like being lied to.",
"Henry: No. I'm sorry. I understand if you never want to speak to me again.",
"[He skates away.]",
"Jen: So dramatic. Come back here, parker! You know, by the way, your birthday present would have been a copy of Born to Run. Mint condition, on vinyl.",
"Henry: Would have been?",
"Jen: Well, I--I--I-- I sort of sold it back to the record store and bought some angry chick music.",
"Henry: I guess it's the thought that counts.",
"Jen: Yeah, something like that. Happy birthday, Henry. Come here.",
"[She kisses him]",
"[Scene: The car museum. Mr. McPhee is sitting in a car, and talking to Ethan about it, and you can see that Jack is upset about it.]",
"Mr. McPhee: The beauty of the old cars is the simplicity. Everything's right here. There's nothing automatic. You have to prime this--",
"Jack: Can I, like, talk to you over here for a moment, please?",
"Ethan: Sure. What's up?",
"Jack: What's up is that I didn't ask you to come and visit so we could hang out with my dad, who hates me, ok? And doesn't even try to understand me. Who can cry tears over a stupid car but can't muster up a shred of emotion for his own son. No, no. He stopped being my father a long time ago, Ethan. I don't want to spend some excruciating evening being reminded of that. I mean, come on. This is a nightmare.",
"Ethan: Jack, calm down. I mean",
"[Mr. McPhee has overheard this.]",
"Mr. McPhee: Boys, I'm gonna head back. You can get home ok?",
"Jack: Yes.",
"Mr. McPhee: You know, I really thought things were getting better. I was so grateful for tonight. I cancelled my business trip this weekend to spend time with you. I guess I'm just not the father you want... Or need.",
"[Scene: at the fort. Dawson and Pacey are lying down to sleep next to the fire.]",
"Dawson: Pace, you awake?",
"Pacey: Wide awake. Yes. What's up, man?",
"Dawson: It finally occurred to me what in my life hasn't lost its luster with time. It's my friendships. You know, I might be unsure of a lot of things in my life, but I'm always gonna be sure of you... And Joey.",
"Pacey: Me and Joey, huh?",
"Dawson: Yeah. I mean, you-- you're... You're pure loyalty. You're still the guy who drew up that oath we took when we were kids. Still the guy who'd do anything for a friend.",
"Pacey: And Joey?",
"Dawson: Joey? She's my conscience. My soul mate. My inspiration. The point is, I'm really glad to have you guys in my life. I'd be lost without you.",
"Pacey: You know, if I'm loyalty, Dawson, it's only 'cause you cast me in the role. You're the storyteller, you know? You see everything and figure out what it means. Did you see the look on those kids' faces while you were telling them that story tonight? How caught up they were? You're the guy who builds this fantastic world. You just let the rest of us live in it.",
"Dawson: These days, it doesn't feel so fantastic.",
"Pacey: It will, bro.",
"[Scene: Jack's bedroom. Ethan is setting up the spare bed and getting it ready, while Jack is getting his own bed ready.]",
"Jack: Good night.",
"Ethan: Hold on, man. Don't you think we should talk about what happened tonight?",
"Jack: Actually, I'd like to pretend it's all a bad dream.",
"Ethan: Well, that would be a mistake, Jack. Look, I know you're mad at me, but don't be. I was just trying to help.",
"Jack: No. I'm not mad at you. I'm just-- I'm just mad. I don't know. I mean, tonight... Tonight he just somehow managed to make it look like he was the victim in this whole thing and like I was some kind of malicious ogre, but it's not like that.",
"Ethan: God, Jack. Don't you get it? You're both victims here. And it's not gonna get any better unless you start letting go some of that anger.",
"Jack: Yeah, but he's the one who did this to me. Ok? He's the one who made me this angry. A year, Ethan. A whole year he spends walking around like I'm the worst thing that ever happened to him. And he cancels one trip so he can passive-aggressively throw it back into my face, and everything's supposed to magically fall back into place? It doesn't work like that.",
"Ethan: Well, let me tell you how it does work, Jack. You keep walking around with all that anger, you and your dad are gonna lose another year... And another one. Before you know it, you're gonna wake up one morning and realize that you need him... Or he needs you... But it's gonna be too late. You know, the other nice side effect of letting go of your anger is that you don't have to be angry anymore. Just think about it. Good night, Jack.",
"Jack: Good night.",
"[Scene: Back at Jen's House. Andie and Joey are getting ready for bed in the bathroom . Joey leaves Andie in the bathroom and Joins Jen in her room. They start to talk, but Joey keeps making sure that Andie is not coming.]",
"Joey: Weird night, huh?",
"Jen: Yeah, I'd say.",
"Joey: I was talking to Bessie the other day and... She told me to talk to somebody about this and... I can't believe I'm telling you, but... Pacey kissed me the other day.",
"Jen: Yeah, I figured this thing would come to a head sooner or later.",
"Joey: Nothing came to a head. I mean, there is no thing. I'm just freaked out and angry, and I don't understand why he would do something like this. I mean, it came out of nowhere, and...",
"Jen: Well, if it came out of nowhere, then how come I'm not surprised? You should ask yourself, Joey, if this is really nothing... Then why are you so upset and so confused?",
"[Scene: the McPhee house. Mr. McPhee is downstairs working on some stuff for work alone, when Jack comes down to join him.]",
"Mr. McPhee: It's late. What is it?",
"Jack: Yeah, I just, um... I just wanted to ask you why... Why this weekend, why this trip, why now? When for the past year you've treated me like I was a leper. Answer me that, why?",
"Mr. McPhee: It was just... Time. I was talking to Richard at the office. He has a son just failed out of his fourth college, got caught stealing a car, drug problem--whole nine yards. It just suddenly occurred to me... Jack is a good kid. I have a good kid, and I don't even know him. But I want to know him. So I canceled my trip. Look, I don't see what the big deal is. Somebody had to make the first move.",
"Jack: I just didn't think it would be you.",
"[M. McPhee makes a move on the chess board, and Jack follows.]",
"[Scene: The fort. Pacey and Dawson are talking while the boys are getting ready to go.]",
"Pacey: I'll talk to you later, huh?",

"Dawson: See you guys.",

"Pacey: How about an orange soda and a box of pretzels?",
"Buzz: One pixie stick, one candy bar, and an orange soda.",
"[They turn the corner and run into Joey.]",
"Pacey: Hey.",
"Joey: Hey.",
"Buzz: Hey.",
"Pacey: Just a second. Listen, if you'll give us 2 minutes, I'll give you 10 sodas and a box of sugar. What'd you say?",
"Buzz: Done.",
"Pacey: There you go. [ Hands him some money]",
"Pacey: Hey.",
"Joey: Hey again. About the other night",
"Pacey: So I guess I",
"Joey: You go first.",
"Pacey: Well, uh, I just-- I--I wanted to... I just wanted to say that, uh... I'm sorry. You know, all that stuff about disaster and Dawson and the ripple effect in our universe, it was all right. I mean, what I did, that was just monumentally stupid. I don't know what I was thinking, so...I just wanted you to know it was an impulse, plain and simple. One's that left my body. Permanently. I promise.",
"Joey: It's ok, Pacey. I mean... I totally overreacted. I mean something isn't a big deal unless you let it be. And--and it... You know, it's-- it's not a big deal. Why get so upset? I mean, it obviously meant n-nothing. Right?",
"Pacey: Right. Right because what I did was a mistake. Right.",
"Joey: Right.",
"Pacey: Well, uh... I guess that puts us back to just being friends.",
"Joey: Definitely.",
"Pacey: Great. Uh...Alright. Well, uh... Yeah, I should probably get going. Once that kid gets all that sugar in him, watch out. He's a little terror. I'll probably have to chase him back home. It's 2 miles. Not pretty.",
"Joey: Well, then I guess I'll see you later, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Yeah, I'll see you later, Jo.",
"[Outside Buzz and Pacey are walking his bike together]",
"Pacey: You grab the front, I'll grab the back? 1, 2, 3... Grab it. There you go.",

"Pacey: Who?",
"Buzz: The girl.",

"Buzz: The girl you want to kiss, stupid. The one you're in love with.",
"Pacey: Nope.",
"Buzz: Yeah, it was.",
"Pacey: Please, what do you know?",
"Buzz: It was her, it was her, it was her.",

"Joey: What are you so smiley about, Dawson?",
"Dawson: Look at us, Jo. What have we become?",
"Joey: Care to expound?",
"Dawson: Spring break. Most kids our age go visit some exotic, sun-drenched locale, don skimpy bathing suits, and ingest mass quantities of liquor. What do we do? We go visit my aunt.",
"Joey: It's a ritual. It was our ritual. I'm glad we're going. I love aunt Gwen.",
"Dawson: And she loves you.",
"Joey: I can't believe she's selling her house.",
"Dawson: I know. It feels like the end of an era.",

"Dawson: Ok. I thought we had agreed to go on living the rest of our lives as if they never happened.",
"Joey: Dawson leery, ashamed of his own roots. You love that karaoke machine, and you know it.",

"Will: Thought I'd surprise an old friend.",
"Pacey: And, uh, in the spirit of friendship, I took the liberty of tellin' will here that maybe you guys would have room for two more on your little impromptu journey?",
"Dawson: I don't have a problem with that.",
"Will: I'm not intruding?",
"Dawson: No, not at all. Besides, the list of things to do in Capeside when you're 16 is woefully short.",

"Jen: Ok. You have got to stop trying to impress me, Henry.",
"Henry: It was the coach's idea. He said if I was gonna be hanging around you so much, I might as well help out. What?",
"Jen: I was just wondering how many guys would spend their spring break in a fish eatery just to be in close proximity to their girlfriend. You're a saint.",

"Shelly: Make that a yummy little creature. He is so my type-- tall, lanky, a branch right off the DiCaprio family tree.",
"Jen: Yeah, you think?",
"Shelly: I definitely think. He's got that cute little ragamuffin- with-a-dream look. Makes you want to take him home and give him a bath. And then maybe hop in the tub with him, and, um...",

"Will: Well, when I was about 5 years old, my dad took me to a revival of planet of the apes, which, if you knew my dad, is a really big thing, so... I'd have to say that ranks as my favorite. But I'm really more of a book guy.",
"Andie: Favorite movie doesn't star Adam Sandler or Steven Seagal, and he likes to read. You sure he's your friend, Pacey? Ok, favorite book?",

"Joey: She's an artist. A painter. She's incredibly talented. She paints, and she reads great books, and she does yoga, and... She lives life on her own terms.",
"Andie: Is she married?",
"Dawson: She was once, to this uptight lawyer. She had this picture-perfect suburban life, and then she met Richard, who was this crazy, bearded painter about 20 years older than her. She left her husband for him and never looked back.",
"Pacey: We gonna get to meet this wife-stealing Picasso?",
"Dawson: Unfortunately, their happily-ever-after only lasted a couple years. Richard died about a year ago of a heart attack.",

"Gale: we're great. We're doing just great. Dawson's 16 now and a big bundle of precocious angst, but he's a terrific kid.",

"Pacey: We have?",
"Gwen: Yeah. I wouldn't expect you to remember it. It was years ago at my sister's 4th of july picnic, and you were chasing this one around and teasing her mercilessly. And when i went to intervene, you said to me, \"hey, lady, step on my buzz, why don't ya?\" Boop.",

We don't have much in the way of entertainment-- there's no multiplex, no monster truck show-- but we do have this kick-ass little pool hall.",

"Shelly: Hey, Jen. How adorable is this boy? Can you tell me?",
"Jen: Heh heh, yeah, he's dreamy. Listen, Shel, I need you to cover sections 5 and 6 today.",
"Shelly: 5 and 6? Lindley, that's crazy talk.",
"Jen: I'm sorry, hon. We're a little short-staffed. I need you to be a team player here.",
"Shelly: [Sighs] bye, Henry.",
"[She leaves]",
"Henry: Uh...Bye. You--you know we were just talking, right?",
"Jen: [Chuckles] well, of course you were.",
"Henry: You just seemed a little jealous.",
"Jen: [Chuckles] jealous? Please, Henry, I'm so not in touch with that emotion. I wouldn't even know what that would feel like. Jealous. That's ridiculous.",
"Henry: Wh-what? It's ridiculous to think that someone else might find me to be a decent, worthwhile human being?",
"Jen: Oh, that's not what i meant.",
"Henry: Whatever.",
"[Scene: The Pool Hall. Andie, Pacey and Will are playing pool, and Will is shooting really badly. So isn't Pacey.]",

"Pacey: Easy, McPhee. Them's fightin' words.",
"Andie: I thought he was supposed to be this amazing pool player.",
"Will: I never claimed to be anything. I just said i like to play.",
"Andie: Oho. And you said, in a somewhat condescending fashion, that you'd teach me. Ahhh! Looks like i should be the one giving the lessons. What do you say, Pacey?",
"Pacey: Maybe you should cut the guy some slack. There might just be some method to his madness.",
"Andie: Ok. All I have to say right now is little ol' me is wipin' up the floor with the two of you.",
"[Pacey takes a shot and the ball jumps off the table and rolls to another table. The guy there picks it up.]",
"Pacey: [Chuckles] um, sorry, man. I just can't seem to keep those things on the table.",
"Pool Guy: You guys interested in a game?",
"Andie: Uh, no. [Chuckles] look, mister, these two, they're seriously deluded and totally lame, so I'm gonna set the record straight right here and now. It would be both sick and wrong to take their money.",
"Will: We'll play.",
"[Scene: The local store. Gwen, Dawson and Joey are there shopping. Dawson is looking at some of the posters when Gwen comes over to him.]",
"Gwen: What are you lookin' for?",
"Dawson: Something for my wall.",
"Gwen: Ah, which, as I recall correctly, is plastered in wall-to-wall movie posters. You know, somehow I don't think this is gonna go with that whole film geek aesthetic you've got goin' on.",
"Dawson: The posters are gone, actually. I took 'em all down.",
"Gwen: Amistad wasn't that bad, honey.",
"Dawson: [Chuckles] more like a crisis of faith, actually.",
"Gwen: What do you mean?",
"Dawson: Well...I guess I got tired of having this larger-than-life-dream to compensate for my smaller-than-life life.",
"Gwen: Ok. So... The movie posters are down. Film has lost its luster. And I am detecting a significant lack of...Smooching, hand-holding, general all-around cuddliness between the two of you? So...Come on. Tell me everything.",
"Dawson: Well, to make a long soap opera short, um, we got together",
"Joey: which was so completely overwhelming that it forced me to retreat into this long, protracted period of soul searching.",
"Dawson: Which sent me into a dizzying downward spiral of depression. And then I finally managed to get her back, but",
"Joey: It was exceptionally bad timing. And then he got back from summer vacation.",
"Dawson: The possibility of having my heart ripped out of my chest once again didn't sound as appealing as it once had, so I decided maybe it would be best just to be friends.",
"Joey: And then he asked Pacey to look out for me.",
"Gwen: What does Pacey have to do with it?",
"Joey: Uh...Nothing. But...Just... There you have it.",
"Gwen: Well, then I have just one question. Why aren't the two of you together now?",
"[Scene: Outside the Pool Hall. Will has handed some money to Pacey and he is counting out the rest in his hand. Andie is looking at the two of them disgusted.]",
"Andie: You hustled them!",
"Will: And this is a big deal. Why?",
"Andie: Because I find it morally wrong and offensive and disgusting. I mean, I didn't come here with you guys to be, you know, an accomplice to your little seedy scam.",
"Pacey: Andy, will's a shark. He always has been. What are you gonna do?",
"Andie: I mean, you let me think that I was good.",
"Will: You are good.",
"Andie: I am?",
"Will: Sure.",
"Andie: Ok, you're hustling me right now, aren't you?",

"Dawson: Joey, do I seem different to you?",
"Joey: What do you mean?",
"Dawson: I've devoted all this energy to...Reinventing myself, and... [Chuckles] to be honest, I don't see where it's gotten me. I don't feel any different.",
"Joey: Actually, you are different, Dawson. Once upon a time, you had to be the center of attention. Life revolved around you and your dreams. And recently, I've watched you fade into the background and let others shine. You're different. What?",
"Dawson: This trip this week has... Reminded me of what we're good at.",
"Joey: What's that?",
"Dawson: We make sense of each other's lives. We always have.",
"Joey: Things are changing, Dawson. People evolve, and--and... Some things drop away.",
"Dawson: Yeah, but things don't have to be any certain way, Joey. Growing up does not have to equal growing apart.",
"Joey: Somehow, it does.",
"Dawson: You gotta find some faith... Faith that whatever set us off in different directions is the same thing that'll... Bring us back together.",
"Joey: [Sighs] I take it back. You haven't changed a bit. You're still an eternal optimist, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Maybe. It's just... I don't know. I'm starting to forget why.",
"Joey: Why what?",
"Dawson: Why we're not together.",

"Gwen: When I was married, I was taking this art class. And the first thing the teacher said was, \"close your eyes and paint your future, and the rest will take care of itself.\" And it did.",
"Joey: You painted this before you lived here? Do you have any regrets?",
"Gwen: About?",
"Joey: The way in which you and Richard came together.",
"Gwen: You know, Joey... I got married too young. And I sold out in a big way. I stayed in a relationship that was safe and comfortable, and then i met this man, who made me feel alive for the very first time. Those kinds of feelings just won't be ignored, you know? I owed it to myself to explore them. Come here. Now. This one... This one is my favorite. Definitely.",
"[She shows her a picture of Joey and Dawson that she painted when they were kids. Dawson comes up to join them]",

"Henry: Uh...Shelly just offered me s*x. I just thought-- I thought you should know about it.",
"Jen: She what?",
"Henry: She basically said I could have s*x with her anytime I wanted. Ap-apparently, she likes younger guys.",
"Jen: Henry, your hands are shaking.",
"Henry: A strange girl just offered me s*x. Th-that's never happened to me before.",
"Jen: Well, what did you tell her?",
"Henry: What do you think I said? I said I had a girlfriend.",
"Jen: Do you find her attractive?",
"Henry: Well, I--I...",
"Jen: Well, do you or don't you?",
"Henry: No.",
"Jen: You know what, Henry? Go have s*x with her. Go off and make a million babies, 'cause i don't care anymore.",

"Will: Yeah. I'm contemplating my next big score.",
"Andie: You're a mass of contradictions, Will Krudski.",
"Will: How's that?",
"Andie: [Chuckles] oh, come on. The well-read pool shark? The blue-collar academic?",
"Will: [Chuckles] you read the color of my collar pretty quickly. Is it that obvious?",
"Andie: Yeah, about as obvious as the fact that you're pretty darn smart.",
"Will: That's nice of you to say.",
"Andie: So, uh... What makes you so unhappy?",
"Will: What do you mean?",
"Andie: Well, you said that all you want to do when you grow up is be happy, so what makes you so unhappy now?",
"Will: Too many things to mention, I guess.",
"Andie: Okay. So, how about trying one?",
"Will: My father.",
"Andie: What's he like?",
"Will: He's a jerk. He works at the factory. So, he's a total townie. Treats my mother like crap. Can't wait to get the hell away from him. I came to hang out with Pacey, because I just couldn't take it anymore. Had to get out of the house.",

"Gale: And just because we're not married doesn't mean we can't talk.",
"Mitch: Maybe that is what it does mean.",
"Gale: I can't believe you are saying this, Mitch.",

"Jen: B-because I have issues. Ok? Clearly. Listen, the point is that he's not yours. He's mine. And I have looked all over the place for one like him, and I'm not giving him up without a fight. So should choose to continue draping yourself all over him like the slutty wench that you are, you and me, we're gonna throw down. Happy now? I'm jealous.",

"Pacey: Well, what did you mean?",
"Joey: I don't even know anymore, Pacey.",
"Pacey: You know this little arrangement we got goin' between us?",

"Joey: Really.",
"Pacey: Yes.",
"Joey: Then why did you come here, Pacey?",
"Pacey: You know, for a bright girl, you can be really daft sometimes. Why do you think i came here? I came here to be with you! It's as simple as that. I mean, when you like somebody, proximity is a good thing, regardless of how they feel about you. Or don't, as the case may be.",
"Joey: But I felt it.",
"Pacey: What?",

"Joey: You can't.",
"Pacey: Jo, you can't say something like that to me and expect me not to kiss you, so that's exactly what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna kiss you in about 10 seconds. And if you don't want me to kiss you... Well, if you don't want me to, I guess then you're just gonna have to stop me. 10.",
"[Woman clearing throat]",
"Joey: [whispering] my god.",
"Pacey: [Sighs] I think maybe I should head inside and sing myself some more karaoke. 'Cause lord knows, that's what I want to be doing right now, is singing myself some karaoke.",
"Gwen: That's a splendid idea, Pacey. Well, um... At least now I understand why you and Dawson aren't together.",
"Joey: Ok. Uh...[Chuckles]... I know you just saw that, and...I can explain",
"Gwen: what i just saw is none of my business. But I think you should tell Dawson. It was just a mistake. Something tells me that when you kiss a boy, it's not a mistake. You should know I am the last person on earth that's gonna judge you. But you cannot be reckless with someone else's feelings. What if that had been Dawson that had seen you and not me? I mean, do you think he'd ever be able to erase that from his mind?",

"Andie: You ok, Pacey? You seem a little, uh, storm cloudy.",
"Pacey: Uh...Just thinking that maybe now would be a good time to start up that debilitating drug habit I've always wanted. Just kidding.",
"Andie: You know, your, uh, your friend will. [Chuckles] he's not at all what I expected. He's really sweet.",
"Pacey: Yeah. He's a good guy. I mean, he and his family moved away a long time ago, but we've managed to keep in pretty good contact, I guess. Once you bond over dysfunctional dad issues, there's no turnin' back.",
"Andie: Yeah. He told me about his father. It's pretty sad.",
"Pacey: He told you?",
"Andie: Yeah.",
"Pacey: Do you like him or something?",
"Andie: Maybe! Maybe not. Who knows, Pacey? But don't you think it's better to just be honest and open about things like this? I mean, who wants to carry around this burden of guilt over moving on? Which, by nature, has to happen. I want you to be happy, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Yeah. [sighs heavily]",
"[Scene: The Fish House backroom. Henry is looking around for Jen. You can hear crying from a storage room.]",

"Henry: But you're such a girl.",
"Jen: [Sobs]",
"Henry: such a cute girl.",
"Jen: Stop. You're not supposed to say sweet nothings. You're supposed to be mad.",
"Henry: I am. That doesn't mean I'm not curious about what's going on in that busy head of yours.",
"Jen: You were right...Henry. I was jealous, and... And it really freaked me out.",
"Henry: Why? Jealousy's a pretty natural human emotion.",
"Jen: You don't understand. I've... I've spent years building this... This complex series of--of booby traps so that...Nobody would ever get too close. [Half chuckles, half sobs] and then you came along... With that big beating heart of yours, and... You broke all those walls down, and it's just really scary. I mean... What if I lose you?",
"Henry: You know, Jen, I was... I was kinda glad that you were jealous. You have nothing to worry about... 'Cause I'm not goin' anywhere. And if I die tomorrow, so be it. At least I died knowing my biggest dream came true.",
"Jen: What's that?",
"Henry: Seeing you in lingerie. [Chuckles]",

"Gale: Ok.",
"[He brings her to the bar where he has a tape of their wedding playing on the TV.]",
"Mitch: I was reading the toast... And I got this urge to see him again. you're right. It was beautiful. I had to let you go. I wanted you to stay, but... You said no. You went to Philly, and... I had to let you go.",
"Gale: Well, what does that have to do with anything?",
"Mitch: More than you realize. To remember what we were is painful for me.",
"Gale: Uh, yesterday... I was looking at Megan... This woman who had lost the love of her life. Suddenly... Our problems just seemed...",
"Mitch: Trivial?",
"Gale: Or even passed.",

"Joey: Oh...",
"Dawson: Hey. Take a look at these. [Chuckles] what a dork I was.",
"Joey: No, you weren't. Well... Maybe a little. [Chuckles] can we talk?",
"Dawson: Yeah. What's up?",
"Joey: Well, uh-- um...",
"Gwen: Sorry. I'm interrupting something. I can",
"Joey: actually, no. It's--it's ok. We'll...Talk later.",
"Dawson: Ok.",
"[Joey Leaves, and Gwen hands the painting of Him and Joey as kids.]",
"Gwen: I brought you something for your wall. Thought maybe it would help you find your way back.",
"Dawson: Way back to what?",
"Gwen: Well... Back to those things that made you this little... Daydream believer. Look, Dawson, I know you can't see it right now, but you are a very talented young man with a rich and powerful imagination. Your dreams are... They're an asset, not a weakness.",
"Dawson: But I just--I can't find the inspiration anymore. It's easy for you. The evidence of your talent is all around you.",
"Gwen: This... Is not my talent. Dawson, when my time is up, I want to know that i did one thing well-- loved somebody. The rest of this is just... An expression of that one thing. What's your one thing?",
"Dawson: Uh...[Chuckles]",
"Gwen: ok. Close your eyes. Mm-hmm. Now... Paint your future. What do you see?",
"[Scene: Outside Aunt Gwen's House. Pacey is sitting alone by the fire again when Joey comes up to join him again.]",

"Joey: I don't know.",
"Pacey: [Chuckles] don't you think I deserve a better answer than that after all this?",
"Joey: Pacey, believe me, I've been trying to get you out of my head. I've tried to pretend that this is just some bizarre hormonal glitch, but it's not working.",
"Pacey: Do you really want it to work?",
"Joey: I tried to tell him.",
"Pacey: Really.",
"Joey: Yes!",
"Pacey: What happened?",
"Joey: Well-- I couldn't really find the words, Pacey, which I know is odd, considering the sheer volume of words spoken throughout the course of our relationship, but",
"Pacey: what would you have said to him?",
"Joey: [Sighs] I don't know.",
"Pacey: I don't believe you.",
"Joey: Pacey... I don't have any answers right now, ok? Can't you understand that?",
"Pacey: The only reason that you don't have answers is because you've been too scared to ask yourself the right questions.",
"Joey: What are you talking about?",
"Pacey: Look, I know how I feel. You know how I feel. That much is obvious by now. But during this whole process, we've managed to miss the point, because the point is not how i feel. It's how you feel. So how do you feel?",
"Joey: Awful. That's how I feel, Pacey. I feel awful.",
"Pacey: So do I. When I was kissing you tonight, I don't think that I've ever felt better and worse at one time in my entire life. I mean, the very idea that Dawson or Andie would find out about us is killing me. It--it is tearing me up on the inside to have these feelings for you, but I can't get rid of them. [Sighs] I jus-- I can't keep on kissing you, jo.",
"Joey: What do you mean?",
"Pacey: I mean just that. I can't keep on kissing you. All right? I've done it twice now. I can't be the one that's always initiating this. I can't be the one who's always giving you the answers. [Sniffles] look at me, Joey.",
"Joey: I can't.",
"Pacey: Please. If you felt... Even one shred... Of what I feel for you... Then we wouldn't be standing here having this conversation.",
"Joey: Pacey...",

Dawson is not the only one hurt by the relationship, as Andie also gets upset and sours her first date with Will. Dawson gives Joey an ultimatum; if she continues her relationship with Pacey, she will be subsequently ending their friendship.

"Joey: No, Pacey. I've tried. I've tried plenty of times to-- every time I see the guy now, I just feel like-- you don't have to bother filling in the expletive, ok? I mean, this isn't exactly the easiest thing I've ever had to do, Pacey-- telling Dawson that while he wasn't looking, I developed this bizarre gravitational pull towards his best friend, and I can't stop thinking about him or wanting to be near him or wanting to kiss him all the time.",

"Pacey: I've had this conversation with him in my head a thousand times.",
"Jen: Yeah? How's it go?",
"Pacey: Oh, you know, Dawson saying something along the lines of... \"Vaya con dios, pace. \"I had my shot at making her happy. Now...Why don't you give it a try?\"",
"Jen: It could happen. Just minus the Spanish part.",
"Pacey: Yeah.",
"[Mitch walks out of the house carrying some stuff for his boat.]",
"Mitch: Hey, guys. If you're looking for Dawson, you just missed him.",
"Pacey: Did he say where he was going?",
"Mitch: Yeah. He said something about the library.",
"[Scene: Inside the library. Pacey is looking for Dawson, when he runs into Andie.]",
"Andie: Pacey. Hi.",
"Pacey: Hey. You're looking happy. Is this just your usual library glow?",
"Andie: Yeah, well, you know, free books make me giddy.",
"[Will walks up to Join them.]",
"Pacey: Krudski.",
"Will: Studying on a Saturday, Witter. That's most unlike you. So, uh, I'll see you tonight, Andie?",
"Andie: Yeah.",
"Will: See you, man.",
"Pacey: Tonight, huh?",
"Andie: Yeah. Uh... We were thinking about getting dinner or something",
"Pacey: no, hey, look, look. A girl's gotta eat, huh?",
"Andie: So, uh, what are you doing here? I mean, you're not studying, are you?",
"Pacey: No. Not studying. Looking for Dawson. You haven't seen him, have you?",
"Andie: Nope. Haven't seen him.",
"Pacey: Well, I'll let you get back to, uh... I'll see you later, Andie.",
"Andie: Yeah.",
"[Scene: Inside Doug's apartment. Doug is running frantically around trying to get some order, as Buzz is jumping up and down on the bed.]",
"Doug: No, no, no, buzz! Listen to me. This is not a toy. All right? This is an answering machine. This was my answering machine. Do you understand? Wh-what-- buzz, where's the tape? Stop bouncing! Stop",
"[Pacey enters and picks up something from the end table and Joins them.]",
"Buzz: yeah! And I thought you were boring.",
"Pacey: See that? Gameboy. It's Pokemon blue, man. Go to it.",
"Doug: Yeah, that's really great. Where the hell have you been? Look at this. It's ruined.",
"Pacey: Doug, I'm sorry. Look, me and Joey came to a really important decision.",
"Doug: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Since when are you and Joey deciding anything?",
"Pacey: You're gonna like this one, 'cause it turns out you were right. She's into me, man. That's why she got so freaked out when I kissed her.",
"Doug: Really?",
"Pacey: Yeah.",
"Doug: So then you told Dawson?",
"Pacey: Uh...No, not exactly. That's what I was trying to do all morning, Doug. Remember the little errand that I had to run, but it just... Turned into this wild goose chase, and... I really didn't think it was going to take that long. I'm sorry.",
"Doug: Look. Telling Dawson that you kissed Joey in a moment of weakness is a hell of a lot different than sneaking around with her behind his back, don't you think? Look, Pacey, at the end of the day, Joey and Dawson, they're gonna stay friends or whatever it is that they are, and you're gonna end up alone. All right? No girlfriend, no friend, just completely and utterly alone. Think about it.",
"[Scene: On Dawson's Porch. Pacey is about to knock on the door, when Joey comes running up to stop him.]",
"Joey: Hey. Hey.",
"Pacey: Hey, Jo, what's wrong? What's wrong?",
"Joey: Look, Pacey... We can't do this, ok?",
"Pacey: Can't do what?",
"Joey: I have to be the one to tell him, ok? I mean, things are really complicated between me and Dawson, and it has nothing to do with you. It's just...",
"[She takes him off the porch]",
"Joey: Look... It has to come from me, or else... It's going to ruin everything.",
"Pacey: Ok. Ok. That's ok. It's ok. Just calm down, Jo. It's all right. We'll do whatever you want to do, ok? I mean... If you want to know the god's honest truth... I've been in the process of chickening out the whole way over here.",
"Joey: Maybe it's a sign, Pacey.",
"Pacey: A sign of what?",
"Joey: It's just that for so long, he's been everything to me, Pacey. I mean, this guy has been my family when I haven't had one, and he's the one person in my life that I can always depend on, and--and this? This is gonna kill him.",
"Pacey: You never had any intention of telling him, did you? You didn't come over here tonight to tell him. You came here to stop me from telling him.",
"Joey: No. I tried to tell him. I went up there and I tried.",
"Pacey: Of course you did. Let me guess. You failed, right?",
"[Dawson comes out to see what's going on.]",
"Dawson: I thought I heard something out here.",
"Joey: Dawson, uh... We were just, uh",
"Pacey: Having an argument.",
"Dawson: Obviously. What about?",
"Joey: Mmm...",
"Pacey: Us, Dawson. We were arguing about us. Me and Joey. There's an us here now.",

"Andie: Oh, hey, look. There's Dawson and his dad.",
"Mitch: Got the champagne?",
"Dawson: Right here. Oop! Whoa. That was almost a disaster. Hey, guys.",
"Buzz: Hello.",
"Dawson: Hey. Buzz.",
"Andie: So, uh, where's Joey? I thought she was coming with us.",
"Dawson: She, uh, wanted to stop at a library first and plow through that Watergate history assignment.",
"Jen: Oh, speaking of which, I finally got through all the president's men. So if you'd like your tape back, I can return it now.",
"Dawson: Ok. I'll come by and pick it up. What'd you think?",
"Jen: Incredible movie. But, uh, Henry didn't feel as though there were enough cute teenage girls.",
"Jack: Hey, don't look now, but I think that's the captain of this vessel.",
"Dawson: Oh.",
"Pacey: Well, I guess we can get started.",
"Dawson: Not without this, we can't. Hey. Hi. As promised.",
"Pacey: Hey. Wow. Whoa. Champagne. Thank you. Nice, but, you know, sparkling apple cider would have probably worked just as well.",
"Dawson: Not for this occasion, man. This is a monumental accomplishment. You took something that was destined for the scrap heap...",
"Jen: Hi.",
"Joey: Hey.",
"[Scene: Next to a Payphone. Jen is talking on the phone as Joey is waiting for her to get off of it.]]",
"Jen: No, I-- if you come by around 2:00, my grams will be gone, all right? No-- no, no. All right, I'm taking Joey to the library, I'm gonna give grams her car back, and I will see you later. Ok, bye.",
"Joey: Thanks again for the ride, Jen.",
"Jen: Oh, god, don't worry about it.",
"Joey: I was supposed to go by this morning, and I got kind of busy, and...",
"Jen: You know you don't have to explain. Unless, of course, there's something that you want to explain.",
"Joey: Recently you and I spoke about unrequited feelings that a certain someone",
"Jen: namely Pacey?",
"Joey: Namely Pacey, uh... May have had for me. And how those unrequited feelings express themselves in the form of a kiss. They're not... Um... Unrequited, that is. They are actually, uh... They're very much requited.",
"Jen: Ok, so you've kissed back a certain someone, namely Pacey... And... You'd like for that to continue?",
"Joey: I think so. I mean... Yes. But the thing is, my feelings have been clouded by my fear of what Dawson will do or say once he knows.",
"Jen: Joey, if you're asking me whether or not you should tell Dawson... The answer's a big fat yes.",
"Joey: I know. We're going to tell him. I mean, Pacey's going to do it today, and... He wanted to. I tried. I--I did. I tried plenty of times. It's-- it's just that... When we tell him... Dawson gets hurt. And if I tell Pacey not to tell him-- then Pacey's gonna get hurt.",
"Jen: [Sighs] yeah.",
"Joey: So... Whatever I do, I'm the villain. I mean, the girl's always the villain, right? In stories like these, she's always some... Wicked, conniving whore who manipulates her way between 2 brothers or 2 best friends.",
"Jen: Ok, Joey, keep in mind that most of those stories have been written by men.",
"Joey: I really wish I was more like you.",
"Jen: Oh, yeah.",
"Joey: You feel things, and you act on them. Pacey does the same thing. He's...Fearless.",
"Jen: All right, I'll let you in on a little secret about the so-called fearless. We're not as tough as you think we are. And Pacey's heart can break just as easily as the next guy. Maybe even more so, considering it was already broken when you got there.",
"[Scene: Inside the Library. Joey is on an upper floor, and she sees Andie talking to Pacey. Cut to a little later when Joey is at a computer when Andie comes up from behind.]]",
"Andie: Hey. Lady. 20-minute time limit on these things, right?",
"Joey: Sorry, Andie. I was just finishing up the Watergate assignment. How about you?",
"Andie: Oh, nowhere near done. But I'm taking off anyway. I have a date tonight.",
"Joey: Will?",
"Andie: Yeah. I like him. I do. And he's smart, way smart. And he has no idea how cute he is. Which is key, 'cause god save us from the ones who do.",
"Joey: So what's the problem?",
"Andie: He's... He's not Pacey. Ohh! Pathetic. I know. I know. And I thought I was over him. I really, really did. But then I bumped into him a little while ago, and...I mean, technically we're friends, right? And that's how I played it. But then it's, like, when I saw him, every irritating/adorable thing he ever did flashed before my eyes, and... I mean, that's the true test, right? When you just bump into somebody... And if you're not over him, then boom--floodgates.",
"[Scene: Outside Downtown on the sidewalk. Dawson runs into Joey on the street.]",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Joey: Dawson. Uh",
"Dawson: You hurried much?",
"Joey: Yeah. I just, um... I must have lost track of time. I was supposed to meet Bessie at home by now. I-- ok. I wanted-- I was gonna call you.",
"Dawson: Do you want to do a movie night tonight? I've got to help my mom with something, but I could pick up a movie on my way home.",
"Joey: You know, I really don't think I'll be able to. Maybe some other time, ok?",
"Dawson: Ok. Are you all right?",
"Joey: Yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I just-- I have to, uh... I have to, uh... Uh... Uh...",
"Dawson: Go?",
"Joey: Yes. I gotta go. Bye.",
"Dawson: All right. I'll see you.",

"Joey: Pacey? Doug? Ok, you're not there. Um... Look, Pacey, um, don't do what you said you were going to do today, ok? Dawson's not even home. I just kind of ran into him, and--and I think you should wait. I think you should wait until you talk to me, 'cause... I really think that I should be the one to tell him. Ok. [Joey hangs up]",
"[Scene: Dawson's Bedroom. Dawson is sitting watching a movie as Joey climbs in through the open window to Join him.]",
"Movie: ...Nothing to you. You wait. She's not your girl, and she-- she is my girl. I don't care if we did break up. You don't even live here anymore. That don't make no difference. I've always lived here. I'm gettin' her back. I'm telling you right now, she's gonna marry me one of these days when I get a little bit more money. She won't marry you. Sure she will. We always meant to get married. She's going off to college soon. I doubt...",
"Dawson: You changed your mind.",
"Joey: Kind of. Um... I--I wanted to talk to you, Dawson. Um... Pacey hasn't been here, has he?",
"Dawson: No. Is he supposed to be?",
"Joey: Uh, no. Actually, uh... Um...No. What are you watching?",
"Dawson: The last picture show.",
"Joey: Isn't that the movie that we saw when we-- our first date.",
"Dawson: Yep. Yes, it is. It wasn't exactly a successful evening, was it? At least not movie-wise.",
"Joey: What do you mean?",
"Dawson: We never got to see the end.",
"Joey: So, uh... How does it end, Dawson?",
"Dawson: Well, there's 3 friends that grew up with each other. Jeff bridges is in love with Cybill shepherd... And she dumps him and breaks his heart, and he's devastated... Um...And she's not. Ha. She, uh...She just kind of moves on to the other guy. And, um...It destroys their friendship. And...That's pretty much how it ends-- everyone, uh, alone, everyone hating each other. It's--[laughs] it's really depressing, actually. I don't--I don't know why I'm watching it. Um... So what'd you want to talk about?",
"Joey: You know, I just-- I actually-- I just remembered that, um, I promised Bessie that I would help... Watch Alexander tonight, and she's probably waiting for me, so, um... Bye.",

"Jack: Witter, come on, man. Let's get the show on the road.",
"Pacey: Be right there, man. Uh... Look, Dawson, you gonna be home after all this?",
"Dawson: Yeah. For a little bit. I've got to work later.",

"Dawson: Hey.",
"Joey: Hey.",
"Pacey: Um... First and foremost, I should probably thank hurricane Chris for enabling a poor schlub like me to actually be able to afford a boat like this. But, uh, secondly and more importantly, I'd like to thank everybody who pitched in... Everybody who scraped and sanded and polished and painted and otherwise helped out to get this boat back in the water. Some, of course, did that more willingly than others. So, uh... Without further ado... I christen for you... True love. That's it.",

"Dawson: Will?",
"Will: Hey. Dawson, hey. Um, look, I was wonderin' if you could help me out. I'm lookin' for some secret room Andie says is, like, ideal for studying.",

"Will: Yeah, but, uh, not if you just asked someone out.",
"Dawson: Andie?",
"Will: Yeah. Um, so, what should I do?",
"Dawson: Well, Joey and I went to the movies, which is a really terrible idea because you can't talk to the person. You can't even really look at 'em. So, what would you suggest? Um...There's always the creek. The night sky overhead, moonlight reflected in the water. It's one of those things that's achieved cliché status 'cause it actually is that romantic.",
"Will: Oh, uh, where would I get a boat?",
"Dawson: Uh, my house.",
"Will: You sure?",
"Dawson: Yeah, absolutely. You know where it is. Just come by and get it.",

"Jen: Sorry. According to grams, you're public enemy number one.",

"Dawson: I'm fine.",
"Jen: You know, if you wanna just come inside and hang out with Henry and I... We could use a chaperone.",
"Dawson: As tempting as that sounds, I think I'm just gonna go watch a movie, relive better days.",
"Jen: I know this must seem like the hardest thing in the world right now, but, you know what? In the long run, it's better that Pacey told you.",
"Dawson: Told me what? Tell me what?",
"Jen: That--nothing.",
"Dawson: If it's nothing, then why were you so concerned about me?",
"Jen: No, I wasn't concerned.",
"Dawson: Yes, you were. You were concerned because you assumed Pacey told me something. Told me what, Jen? The fact that you're unwilling to answer my question speaks volumes. It has to do with Joey, doesn't it? It does, doesn't it?",
"Jen: God, I'm so sorry.",
"Dawson: You've known about this?",
"Jen: Dawson, it wasn't my place to say anything. I didn't want to interfere. I wanted to protect you. Wait, Dawson. Wait, stop, say something. Please.",

"Jen: No.",

"Movie: Just never thought you'd do me that way. I thought we were still best friends. We are. What you so mad for? I never done nothin' to you. I guess screwin' my girl ain't nothin' to you. I ain't screwin' her. The hell you ain't.",
"[Rustling at window]",

And turns out she's not. She just kind of moves on to the other guy, and it destroys their friendship. It's never the same after that, and that's how the movie ends. Everyone alone. Everyone hating each other. It's pretty depressing, actually. I don't know why I'm watching it. [Turns off movie] So what was it you wanted to talk about?",

"Dawson: Then how was it? 'Cause Jen was short on details.",
"Joey: She told you?",
"Dawson: Well, she thought I knew. I mean... I had to be pretty frickin' stupid not to know, right? That the 2 people I trusted most in the world were lying to me? So are you bored? Are you confused or just malicious?",
"Pacey: Hey, look, I started this thing, ok? If you're gonna get angry at somebody, you get angry at me.",
"Dawson: I don't think you're in any position to talk about what's fair. You were my best friend.",
"Pacey: I still am.",
"Dawson: I'm finding that a little hard to process right now.",
"Pacey: It's the truth, Dawson.",
"Dawson: So I guess it's safe to assume that friendship doesn't come above s*x in your list of personal priorities.",
"Pacey: This has nothing to do with s*x.",
"Dawson: Oh, what, are you in love? Is that what this is? Oh, god, don't look. Don't look at her, all right? Don't. I-- you know what, Pacey? I feel sorry for you.

"[Andie and Will come walking up from Dawson's pier.]",
"Andie: Hey, guys. What's goin' on?",
"Dawson: Why don't you ask Pacey? Ask him how long he and Joey have been sneakin' around behind my back, or better yet, ask Joey. Ask her how long she's been lying to me and to you. Go ahead, ask 'em because I can't stand to look at 'em anymore.",

"Henry: So, where were we?",
"Jen: Henry, I just did the most awful thing.",
"Henry: It couldn't have been that awful.",
"Jen: Believe me, it was. God, I totally screwed up. I accidentally told Dawson something he wasn't supposed to know and really hurt his feelings in the process.",
"Henry: But you didn't mean to do it.",
"Jen: Yeah, but it's still my fault. I mean, I'm the one who messed up.",

"Jen: No, you're not. You're trying to make yourself feel better.",

"Henry: Maybe I don't. Maybe for once I want to put us before whatever little mini-drama you and your friends have whipped up this week.",
"Jen: Ok. You know what? Why don't you leave? I'm not kidding. Leave.",
"Henry: Now you're being irrational.",
"Jen: No. No, just irritated. Irrational is when I get violent, which is gonna happen in 2 seconds if you don't get your horny freshman ass out of here.",

"Andie: Uh-uh.",
"Will: They were a couple of kids, totally in love, but then she died. Snake bite. He couldn't deal, so being the ancient world's most kick-ass musician, he goes to the underworld, located the proper authorities and played for 'em... All about Eurydice and how he had to have her back.",
"Andie: And? What happens?",
"Will: It worked... But there was one condition. He wasn't allowed to look at her until they were back in the real world, so they set out, and as they were just about to make it, he looked back.",
"Andie: So, she died all over again?",
"Will: He went to grab for her, and all he got was air.",

"Andie: Hey, guys. What's goin' on?",
"Dawson: Why don't you ask Pacey? Ask him how long he and Joey have been sneaking around behind my back, or better yet, ask Joey. Ask her how long the two of them have been lying to you and to me. Go ahead, ask 'em 'cause I can't even stand to look at 'em anymore.",
"[Dawson leaves and goes into his house and Joey runs after him.]",
"Andie: So, is this true, Pacey? You and Joey?",
"Pacey: Yes.",
"Andie: I don't know what to say.",
"Pacey: Me neither.",
"Andie: You must really, uh... You know, to give up your friendship with Dawson, to give up everything. God, how could you be so stupid, Pacey? You know you're gonna get hurt. She is never going to love you like she loves him, ok? He is her first love, Pacey. Her first love.",
"[Scene: Inside Dawson's Bedroom. Dawson enters and Joey Joins him.]]",
"Joey: Look, I didn't intend for this to happen, Dawson.",
"Dawson: What you intended does not provide me any solace. What? Do you love him? Are you-- you just want to sleep with him?",
"Joey: No. How could you say that?",
"Dawson: It's what he's gonna expect.",
"Joey: We're not together, Dawson, and we haven't been for a long time. Almost a whole year has",
"Dawson: Are you punishing me? Because I didn't want to get back together with you?",
"Joey: Why would you think that I would",
"Dawson: Why, Joey? Because you keep on saying that you want to go find yourself. Is this what you've been looking for the whole time? Is Pacey what you've been looking for?",
"Joey: No.",
"Dawson: Then explain it to me, Joey. Explain to me how 2 people who can barely stand to be in the same room with each other end up outside my window arguing about the future of their relationship.",
"Joey: I can't, ok? I can't explain it. It happened. Everything between you and me is so complicated.",
"Dawson: Joey, if things are complicated between us, it's because you made them that way, all right? You. And you think that... Whatever was wrong when you were with me is gonna magically get better when you're with him?",
"Joey: I don't know, Dawson. I don't know, ok? I just know that I-- I need him.",
"Dawson: You need him like you need me? Joey, it's a simple question. Do you need him like you need me?",
"Joey: No. Look, you can't do that, Dawson. You can't. Those 2 things have nothing to do with each other, and you know that. The way that I feel about him is completely separate from the way that I feel about you and our friendship.",
"Dawson: Joey, we don't have a friendship right now. As of right now, we do not have a friendship.",
"Joey: That is not fair!",
"Dawson: You can't have both of us! You can't have him as your boyfriend and me as your consolation prize. You're gonna have to make a choice, and I'll tell you right now, if you choose him, I'm not gonna be around to pick up the pieces when it all falls apart. This ruins everything. There's no goin' back.",
"Joey: Ok. What do you want me to say, Dawson? Tell me what you want me to say. What do you want to hear?",
"Dawson: I don't want you to say anything. I want you to leave.",
"[Joey leaves through the window.]",
"[ A little later there is a knock on door and Jen is at the Door to his bedroom.]",
"Jen: Hell of a day, huh?",
"Dawson: I have no desire to rewind and live it again, if that's what you mean.",
"Jen: You shouldn't be alone right now.",
"Dawson: Why not? I am alone. I might as well get used to it.",
"Jen: You're not alone, Dawson. Don't ever think that.",
"Dawson: Jen, why didn't you tell me?",
"Jen: If 2 people are on a crash course for each other and you throw yourself in between... It's only gonna bring them all that much closer.",
"Dawson: So, what am I supposed to do now? Am I supposed to just accept this? Am I supposed to just wake up tomorrow like nothing's changed?",
"Jen: You just have to let things run their course, and you have to let her decide what it is that she really wants.",
"Dawson: I can't let her go.",
"Jen: What else can you do?",
"Dawson: You can fight. You can fight for what you want.",
"[Scene: The boat docks. Pacey is sitting there and Joey comes up to Join him.]",
"Joey: Ever have one of those days you wish you could live all over again?",
"Pacey: Yeah. You?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Pacey: So, what would you have done differently?",
"Joey: I don't know. Everything. Nothing at all. We'd still end up right back here, and I don't think I know where here is.",
"Pacey: Here is right where we started.",
"Joey: Well, she looks beautiful in the water.",
"Pacey: This morning was really just a formality. I still don't know if she's sea-worthy.",
"Joey: She looks pretty solid.",
"Pacey: I don't know. I think I see some stormy weather ahead.",
"Joey: Pacey...",
"Pacey: It's over, isn't it?",
"Joey: It has to be.",
"Pacey: Maybe you should be the first one to go this time.",

"As Capeside prepares for their annual regatta, Dawson and Pacey compete to win, although Dawson selfishly tries to make Joey the prize and comes close to physically injuring Pacey in the process. She scolds him for it, and tells both boys that she is not worth fighting over. After many weeks of deliberating, Gail finally makes things happen with Mitch. Jen and Henry, reeling from another fight, spend a romantic night together on the roof of the restaurant."

"Joey: You know, if you came here to discuss me and Pacey, you're wasting your breath because",
"Dawson: Pacey's the last person I want to talk about, Joey. Trust me. I came here to talk about us. I--I want you in my life.",
"Joey: And Pacey?",
"Dawson: That damage has been done. I came to salvage the one relationship that I need more than any other, and that's ours.",
"Joey: How?",
"Dawson: Let's rebuild. Let's... Take a walk. Let's have a picnic, watch a movie.",
"Joey: After everything that's happened, how could I possibly climb that ladder into your bedroom and watch a movie?",
"Dawson: I'm not asking you to disregard what's happened, Joey. I'm saying let's move forward from here.",
"Joey: You know what? All I want to do right now, Dawson, is-- is paint my wall.",

"Mitch: Mrs. Leery, you are looking particularly lovely this tourist season.",
"Gale: Is it just my imagination, or did this year go by even faster than the last?",
"Mitch: Each year gets exponentially shorter.",
"Gale: Which is why we should be making each day count, right?",
"Mitch: Gail, I--I can't believe",
"Gale: relax. We made this arrangement with Pacey weeks ago.",
"Mitch: Yeah, but in light of what's happened",
"Gale: it's just a boat race, one that we could very much benefit from.",
"Mitch: I'm not sure Dawson will see it that way.",
"[Dawson comes out of the restaurant]",
"Dawson: See what, what way? What's the flag?",
"Gale: A month ago, we offered to sponsor Pacey in the regatta, honey.",
"Dawson: Oh.",
"Gale: We needed publicity. He wanted a sponsor. We thought the two of you would be doing it together, but with what's happened, we don't expect you'd want to do that.",
"Dawson: I appreciate the concern.",
"Mitch: Dawson, you're more important than the restaurant. We'll pull out of the race.",
"Dawson: You don't have to do that. I mean... If it's important to mom and the restaurant, it's fine.",
"Gale: Look, honey, I'm not trying to defend Pacey here. I would just hate to see you lose your best friend.",
"Dawson: I'm fine. All right? I'll even take the banner to him myself.",
"[Scene: The docks on by True Love. Pacey and Will are on the boat working when Dawson comey up carrying the flag from the restaurant.]",
"Dawson: It's for you.",
"Pacey: Thanks. You know, I could have come up and got this from your parents.",
"Dawson: It's no problem.",
"Pacey: Look, Dawson, if you want me to drop out of this race, you're gonna have to ask me yourself.",
"Dawson: Do whatever you want, pace.",
"Pacey: I'm only doing this to help your mother.",
"Dawson: The way you helped Joey?",
"Pacey: Look, if you want to stay angry, stay angry. It really doesn't matter to me anymore. I'm just glad it's finally directed at the right person.",

"Bessie: You have to. It's good P.R.",
"Joey: It's humiliating.",
"Bessie: If you don't cook and serve pancakes at the race registration table, how are people gonna remember it's being sponsored by the Potter B & B?",
"Joey: I'll tell them.",
"Bessie: Look, if you'd rather go home and scrub toilets or make beds or... That's the last name I expected to see on Pacey's boat. That's a good sign. Are they talking again?",
"Joey: Hopefully.",
"Bessie: And you? Did you mend any fences yet?",
"Joey: Well, Dawson came by the other day and wanted to know if I wanted to spend some time with him.",
"Bessie: To which you said?",
"Joey: I don't know, I just-- it doesn't feel right, you know? I mean, Dawson and I becoming friends again while he and Pacey",

"Andie: Oh, isn't this thrilling? The start of a new tradition.",
"Grams: Fashioning the regatta winner's wreaths has always been my sole responsibility for the women's league, ever since 1953. Sharing it with you young people is very exciting.",
"Jack: You know, it's moments like these I'm convinced I'm straight.",
"Grams: Oh, come now. How often to you get a chance to create such a jubilant public display?",
"Andie: Oh, looks like we're not the only ones creating a public display. \\",
"Jen: What? Oh, my god. Could this possibly be more embarrassing? How long can he last?",
"Andie: How long has he been doing this, anyway?",
"Jen: For, like, a week. He stood outside our window for over an hour yesterday.",
"Grams: In the rain.",
"Andie: Exactly what unspeakable crime is he asking forgiveness for?",
"Jen: I defended Henry to grams, saying that he--he wasn't a typical teenage boy with a one-track mind.",
"Andie: And?",
"Jen: Typical teenage boy, one-track mind.",
"Grams: I don't know what you expect. All healthy normal boys want the same thing.",
"Jen: Ok, what are you gettin' at?",
"Grams: My point is, to err is human, to forgive divine. Hasn't he paid enough penance?",
"[Scene: Under a Gazebo. Dawson, Jack and Andie are setting up some of the wreaths.]",
"Jack: Dawson, how do you remember our dad has a boat? I don't even remember our dad has a boat.",
"Dawson: The question is, is he using it this weekend?",
"Andie: Well, considering the fact that he takes it out about once or twice a year-- memorial day and labor day-- I would guess the answer is no.",
"Dawson: Perfect. So, you think I can borrow it?",
"Jack: No. No. I don't think that's a very good idea.",
"Dawson: Why not?",
"Jack: Because pieces of the last boat that you borrowed are still floating around the creek, that's why.",
"Dawson: Look, I really need a sailboat. Ok, I've entered the regatta.",
"Jack: Whoa. Isn't Pacey racing?",
"Dawson: Yeah.",
"Jack: So don't you think pistols at dawn would be a more suitable, not to mention romantic, way to settle this thing?",
"Andie: What's the problem with Dawson seizing the day? Ok? I mean, Pacey most certainly did.",
"Dawson: It's not about Pacey. It's about Joey. All right, look. I've spent the last 2 months lying on my bed, staring at empty walls. It's no wonder Joey got away from me. This is my chance to actually show her how much I care. You gotta help me.",
"Jack: It's not right.",
"Andie: No, jack, you know what? I'll tell you what's not right: Watching the person you love throw everything away so they can be with someone else, listening to them lie to your face day after day. That's not right. So if you're not going to help Dawson, I will.",
"Jack: All right.",
"[Scene: The Potter B & B sign up booth. Joey is handing out pancakes to the people there, when Dawson walks up to the booth.]",

"Joey: Thank you, Dawson.",
"Dawson: You heard already.",
"Joey: Well, I have to admit, I mean, I had my doubts as to whether or not things would get better, but when I saw your restaurant's banner on Pacey's boat I just felt this huge sense of relief.",
"Dawson: That's what you're thanking me for?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Dawson: I thought Bessie might have told you already.",
"Joey: Told me what?",
"Dawson: I'm entering the boat race.",
"Joey: The sailboat race?",
"Dawson: Mm-hmm.",
"Joey: Well, who's your sponsor?",
"Dawson: Uh, you are.",
"Joey: What?",
"Dawson: I'm being sponsored by the Potter B & B.",
"Joey: Dawson, we can't afford the entry fee.",
"Dawson: That's been taken care off. Your sister was pretty psyched about the idea.",
"Joey: I'm sure she was.",
"Dawson: Joey, a victory-- however slim my chances might be-- would guarantee the B & B the cover of the tourist brochure. You guys would be booked the whole season.",
"Joey: Look, Dawson, I really don't think this is a good idea.",
"Dawson: It's not what you think. All right? All I want to do is help. If I needed help you'd be there for me, right?",
"Joey: Dawson",
"Dawson: Yes, you would. So sign me up and wish me luck.",
"[Scene: The Potter B& B Sign-up booth a little later. Joey is still working it, when Bessie comes up to join her.]",
"Bessie: Ok, before you get mad at me",
"Joey: you know what? You're about 300 pancakes and one sponsored sailboat too late for that, Bessie.",
"Bessie: He begged to enter the race on our behalf, and are we really in the position to turn down free advertising?",
"Joey: It's not free. Ok, Dawson may have put down the cash, but you're obligating me",
"Bessie: what? To appreciate his friendship?",
"Joey: This isn't about friendship. Dawson wants to beat Pacey.",
"Bessie: Well, if 2 boys want to compete on our behalf, I say let 'em race.",
"Joey: This was supposed to stop. I mean, we broke it off, and it was all just supposed to stop.",
"Bessie: What did you expect, jo? That you would end things with pace, and then all of a sudden, things would just go back to the way they were? It's the hardest part about being an adult, sis. Your actions have consequences, forcing life to constantly move forward. Why do you think they call it \"growing up\"?",
"Joey: Well, since you're such an expert grownup, do you have any advice?",
"Bessie: Accept the consequences and do something to make things better.",

"Andie: Come in.",
"Will: Uh, I hope you don't mind. Jack let me in.",

"Will: Actually, they're heading out to get some hands-on experience.",
"Andie: Hmm. Looks like you and Pacey will have some competition after all.",
"Will: Yeah, but that's not why I came here. I got some really good news. That scholarship to Rowley... It came through.",
"Andie: Ah! Will, that's fantastic!",
"Will: It's amazing, isn't it? I finally caught a break.",
"Andie: And now you don't have to worry about your dad anymore. I mean, that's great.",
"Will: Yeah, but Pacey... I'm kinda worried about him.",
"Andie: Yeah, well, Pacey and Joey brought this situation on themselves, all right?",
"Will: What, because they developed feelings for each other and had the guts to do something about it?",
"Andie: Is that the way you see this, will? We were all friends.",
"Will: They didn't set out to hurt you.",
"Andie: Yeah, well, once upon a time, I didn't set out to hurt Pacey, either, but he offered me no forgiveness, and our relationship came to an earth-shattering halt. Now things are never gonna be the way they were.",
"Will: If you can't let go of all this anger, Andie, they probably never will, and instead of you being this warm-hearted, cheerful person that I met on spring break, you'll just end up being the kind of person that-- that I feel sorry for... And I know you're better than that.",
"[Scene: Aboard Jack's Boat. Jack and Dawson are trying to handle the boat which is still tied to the dock, and are having a ton of problems, when Mitch comes up to them.]",

"Jack: Dawson! God!",
"Dawson: You ok? You all right?",
"Jack: Yeah.",
"Dawson: Um, all right, so that doesn't happen again, tie the--tie the rope to the thing.",
"Jack: What the hell's 'the thing\"?",
"Dawson: The metal thing.",
"Jack: Yeah, that helps, Popeye.",
"Mitch: It's called the aft winch, and if you don't tighten that jib sheet and secure your tiller, it's not gonna be pretty.",
"Dawson: Ok, I got the tiller. You get the jib sheet, all right?",
"Jack: All right, all right, all right. Check. Where the hell's the jib sheet?",
"Mitch: You're standing on it.",
"Jack: Ok, you know what? Maybe I should just go back to helping grams. I might live a little longer.",
"Mitch: What are you doing?",
"Dawson: Well, trying to get out on the water before the fireworks start.",
"Mitch: Looks like you guys could use a little help.",
"Dawson: Well, dad, everyone who knows what they're doing is in the race already.",
"Mitch: Not everyone.",
"Dawson: Or they're sponsoring a boat.",
"Mitch: The restaurant is sponsoring Pacey. I, on the other hand, am still available.",
"Dawson: All right, dad. The last thing I want to do is divide the Leery household even more.",
"Mitch: Any worthwhile relationship has to endure some conflict, don't you think, Dawson?",
"Dawson: If you're saying you want to lend a hand, we would be more than happy to accept. Sure. Thank you.",
"[Scene: On the sidewalk by the docks. Joey rounds the corner and runs into Pacey walking her way.]",
"Joey: Look, Pacey, this wasn't my idea. I didn't ask him to do it, but I mean, you know Dawson. Once he gets something in his mind-- I'm sorry.",
"Pacey: If it wasn't your idea, why are you apologizing?",
"Joey: Because you're obviously upset.",
"Pacey: I'm upset because we haven't spoken in 2 weeks. Now when we finally do, the first words out of your mouth, as per usual, are about Dawson.",
"Joey: Well, this conversation is about to get harder, Pacey.",
"Pacey: You want me to drop out, too. Wow. Dawson Leery couldn't have scripted this one any better, could he?",
"Joey: What do you mean?",
"Pacey: Well, don't you get it? No matter what I do, he wins. If I drop out, he wins. If I stay in the race, I'm forced into direct competition with the guy, and if I actually win, I don't beat him, I beat you. So guess who really wins there?",
"Joey: Well... Maybe you could talk to him. I mean, try to work it out.",
"Pacey: Yeah, we tried that. He doesn't really want to talk to me right now, and when he does, it's not entirely civil.",
"Joey: Well, could you try again, Pacey, please?",
"Pacey: Yeah, if that's what you want. If that's all that you want.",
"Joey: That's all that I want.",
"Pacey: Ok. Ok. That's what I'll do.",
"Joey: Thank you, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Yeah. Hey, Potter. It was nice talkin' to you.",
"[Scene: Inside the Leery Fish House. The restaurant is very busy and Gale is helping people when she goes over to Jen and points out Henry outside with a sign asking her to forgive him.]",
"Gale: And somebody will be with you shortly to take your drink orders. Enjoy your evening. Ok, a few hours ago, Henry was cute and endearing. Now he's getting into annoying and psychotic.",
"Jen: Oh, my god. I'm so sorry. I didn't think he would last this long.",
"Gale: Honey, it's getting ridiculous. This is our busiest weekend. Not only is he distracting the customers, but he's blocking the view. Go talk to him. Throw a net over him,. I don't care. Just drag him away. Get him away from my restaurant.",
"[Jen goes outside and drags him away.]",
"[Scene: On the roof of the Leery Fish House. Jen is coming up the ladder to join Henry. There are rose petals all around.]",
"Jen: All right, look. I've already accepted your apology. I don't understand why you're making me come up to the roof.",
"Henry: I want to show you something.",
"Jen: Well, you promise to drop that whole sign thing, right?",
"Henry: I promise.",
"Jen: Yeah, well, I hope so, because you were rapidly approaching the point where I...",
"[She sees that hew has set up an elaborate picnic for them]",
"Jen: [Stunned] Henry. Oh, my god. You did all this?",
"Henry: Well, the town organized the festivities. I just did the roof part.",
"Jen: Why?",
"Henry: For you. I want you to know how sorry I really am.",
"Jen: I know. You just told me.",
"Henry: I told you. But I want to show you, too. I can do more than just talk.",
"Jen: I know that you can. You can listen, too, which is--which is why I got so upset.",
"Henry: Because I stopped hearing you.",
"Jen: Yeah.",
"Henry: I promise that will never happen again. I'm--I'm glad that we didn't rush into having s*x.",
"Jen: Really?",
"Henry: Well, I'd--I'd be lying if I told you I didn't think about it pretty much every time I breathe in or out. I can't tell you that I'm gonna stop wanting you so badly, that I get a little crazy sometimes, but... I don't want to be like every other guy in your life, Jen. I want everything we do to be new, something you've never done before.",
"Jen: I have definitely never had a picnic on a roof before.",
"Henry: From now on, I'm going to do everything in my power to be the most original person in your life.",
"Jen: Henry parker, you already are.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Along the Docks later that evening. Pacey is waiting when Dawson comes walking along.]",
"Pacey: What are you trying to prove?",
"Dawson: I'm just trying to help Joey. Just trying to...",
"Pacey: Look, man, why don't you just take a swing at me? I mean honestly, just take a poke. Get it over with. Save us both a lot of time and trouble. Wouldn't involve our friends. Or family.",
"Dawson: Do you think that indulging yourself in some James dean meets greased lightning fantasy, that you're actually gonna prove you're a better man than I am?",
"Pacey: I don't have to prove that.",
"Dawson: You made that clear when you moved in on Joey.",
"Pacey: For the very last time, Dawson, I made a mistake.",
"Dawson: Mm-hmm.",
"Pacey: I thought you of all people would understand someone falling for Joey Potter.",
"Dawson: Are you delusional enough to believe that you actually have something real with Joey?",
"Pacey: Well, if I do, it's because of her own free will.",
"Dawson: Do you really think a couple confused weeks means anything compared to the lifetime that we've had?",
"Pacey: And do you actually think that you could possibly hold on to that beautiful woman with some sort of selfish ultimatum?",
"Dawson: Answer my question, Pacey. Do you really think you can compete with history?",
"Pacey: Some history. 15 years of watching pg movies in your bedroom, followed by another year and a half pretending to be grown up, only to drop each other at the first sign of crises? That's your history? Come on, man. And you call this woman your soulmate?",
"Dawson: Yes, I do, and you knew that, and you went after her anyway.",
"Pacey: Right after you rejected her.",
"Dawson: Oh, so she was vulnerable. Perfect for you, right? 'Cause you're only interested in girls you can save or screw, right, pace?",
"[Scene: Inside Gram's Kitchen. Grams is sitting at the table when Jen enters in the early morning.]",
"Jen: You're up early.",
"Grams: I see I'm not the only one dressed in what she was wearing last night.",
"Jen: I know. I know. I'm sorry. I should have called, but I figured that you'd be in bed asleep.",
"Grams: You figured wrong. I was moments away from calling sheriff Witter.",
"Jen: Grams, I was fine. I was with Henry.",
"Grams: You spent the night with Henry?",
"Jen: Yeah, on the--on the roof of the restaurant. God, it was so beautiful. The boats were all lit up on the water, and the whole town was down below applauding for the fireworks, but it felt like it was for us. And he had a blanket and a picnic and-- well, not much of a picnic, actually. It was 2 lunchables, but it's the thought that counts. Grams, I'm sorry. We just lost track of time.",
"Grams: Is that the fashionable euphemism bandied about on MTV these days? Losing track of time?",
"Jen: I thought that you'd be happy. I mean, it was your advice that compelled me to move forward with Henry.",
"Grams: It was not my advice to sleep with the boy.",
"Jen: You don't know what you're talking about.",
"Grams: To see you slip back into your old lifestyle like you never left it... I expected more of you, Jennifer.",
"Jen: Well, you know what? I expected more of you, too. Believe it or not, I have changed, and it hasn't been easy. Especially considering that the one person that I count on the most can't even see it.",
"[Scene: Inside the Leery Fish House. Gale and Mitch are there talking as Mitch is packing a bag with different things.]",
"Gale: I can't believe you're helping him race.",
"Mitch: Well, it's a boat race, right, not Ben-Hur. Besides, one way or another, this is a fight that's gonna happen, and I, for one, am proud of Dawson for sticking up for himself.",
"Gale: Well, I'm not against fighting for what you want, but shouldn't we be teaching Dawson that you fight with your mind, with words?",
"Mitch: Well, yeah, but... Well, sometimes two people have been through so much and had so many conversations that the only way to really make it clear is action. Obviously Dawson has more guts than either one of us.",
"Gale: What are you talking about?",
"Mitch: Just what I thought might have been going on around here lately...",
"Gale: Between you and me.",
"Mitch: Ok. Well, you know, I'd stick around and talk about this some more but that doesn't really seem to be very effective, now, does it?",
"[Scene: The Boat Race. Everyone are in their boats getting ready to start the race. The race goes on, and Pacey is in the lead but Dawson is closing fast. We are approaching the finish when Dawson's boat is coming dangerously close to Pacey's boat.]",
"Man on P.A.: And they're off! And as the leaders enter the pivotal turn, it looks like true love is out front, but carpe diem, in a bold move here, they are gaining ground.",
"Mitch: All right, now, Dawson, when we get up here, we got to give them buoy room. All right, 2 lengths at the mark.",
"Pacey: What the hell are these guys doing?",
"Will: I don't know. I don't know.",
"Pacey: Hey! Hey, give us room!",
"Man on P.A.: True love and carpe diem are neck and neck. They're fighting for the finish here. Carpe diem is not giving any ground. In fact, carpe diem is not acknowledging true love's request for sea room at the mark. If one of these boats doesn't veer off course, in a minute, we're gonna have a major collision.",
"Joey: They're headed for the same spot. Are they crazy?",
"Pacey: Hey! We got the right of way!",
"Mitch: You're gonna have to back off.",
"Dawson: I'm not getting out of his way.",
"Mitch: 2 lengths",
"Dawson: I'm not getting out of his way!",
"Jack: Give room! Come on!",
"Pacey: Get off our line! Move off!",

"Pacey: Dawson, come on! Give us room!",
"Man on P.A.: Oh, they're gonna",
"Pacey: damn!",
"Man on P.A.: True love, with the right of way, changes course to avoid a collision. Carpe diem does cross the line first.",
"Dawson: We did it!",
"Man on P.A.: Carpe diem, they didn't back off at all. I'm sure that's a disqualification. Mischief is approaching the finish second, and unfortunately, true love, they'll finish a distant fifth.",
"[Scene: On the docks. Dawson comes running up to Joey who is waiting there for him, visibly upset. ]",
"Dawson: We won!",
"Joey: No, you didn't, Dawson. You lost. If you knew a little bit more about sailing, you would know that you got disqualified.",
"[Pacey joins them]",
"Pacey: For nearly killing me!",
"Dawson: I got disqualified?!",
"Pacey: I got more words for what you are.",
"Dawson: Ok, let's not forget who started this, Pacey!",
"Joey: Look, ok, stop! The both of you stop this. I'm not some damn trophy.",
"Dawson: No, jo. Let's not forget who started this, ok?",
"Pacey: Let's not forget who pushed me towards Joey Potter in the first place. It was you! Yes! It was you, because you couldn't be bothered",
"Dawson: because I didn't want to get hurt again, Pacey! I still had feelings for her! I still loved her! I-- I still love her.",
"Joey: I hate this. I hate all of this. God, I hate you for kissing me and forcing me to figure out what it all means, Pacey. And I hate you, Dawson, for forcing me to make a choice between our friendship and what I might have had with him. And I hate myself. I mean, I wish we could go back to the way it was. I wish I could take it all back, but I can't. Nothing is worth going through all this. No one person is worth this-- neither one of you and especially not me.",
"Dawson: Are you happy now?",
"[Scene: By the docks. Joey and Dawson are there alone talking. ]",
"Dawson: I'm glad he kissed you.",
"Joey: Well, that makes one of us.",
"Dawson: I'm glad he kissed you, because it forced me to deal with the notion of losing you, Joey, and I can't. I can't lose you, not now, not ever.",
"Joey: Dawson, I'm no good for you. I mean, look at the way you behaved today.",
"Dawson: I behaved the way I did today because I was threatened.",
"Joey: What are you talking about?",
"Dawson: Honestly? I'm just trying to be the kind of guy you want.",
"Joey: What kind of a guy is that?",
"Dawson: Well, you went for a guy who beat up a bully and bought you a wall.",
"Joey: That's not you. I know.",
"Dawson: No, it's not, Joey, but I--I-- I'm trying to show you how much I want you instead of just telling you.",
"Joey: You don't want me, Dawson. You said it yourself. You just don't want to lose me.",
"Dawson: Of course I don't want to lose you, Joey. I--I want you more than I ever have.",
"Joey: If you really felt that way about me, Dawson, then you would realize that the last thing I need right now is another person with romantic intentions for me.",
"Dawson: Ok. What do you need? Jo, what do you need? I will do anything. I'm willing to do anything.",
"Joey: I need a friend. Someone who will be there for me without any agenda. The person that you used to be.",
"Dawson: Then I'll-- I'll be there for you. Let me prove it to you. Let me show you. Joey? Jo",

"Pacey: That's you, man.",
"Will: Yep.",
"Pacey: Well, be safe, brother.",
"Will: I'll do my best. So, any advice?",
"Pacey: Uh, yeah, you know, avoid public nudity, stay off drugs, try not to murder anybody-- the obvious stuff-- and one last thing: Don't sleep with any of your teachers. Believe me, it never works out as well as you think.",
"Will: Witter words of wisdom. Priceless. Here's some for you. Don't give up.",
"Pacey: Give up?",
"Will: On true love. It always wins in the end. Hey, be good, man.",

"Jen: You might not respect me or the decisions that I've made, but the least that you can do is respect my privacy.",
"Grams: I--I--I just-- I just wanted to bring you this.",
"Jen: Why are you giving this to me?",
"Grams: I-I've been doing a great deal of reflection, looking through old photographs, and I came across this dress packed away in a box.",
"Jen: It was packed away for a reason. It's not my style.",
"Grams: I know. Just looking at it reminds me how much you've grown up. When you first came here to live, you were still a child.",
"Jen: And now?",
"Grams: Now you know more. You've become a beautiful, poised, confident, mature young woman who isn't afraid to risk her heart, and I think you finally believe, after all this time, that you really do deserve to be loved.",
"Jen: What are you saying?",
"Grams: I-I've seen the affection you have for Henry and the affection he has for you.",
"Jen: Grams",
"Grams: and I'm not so old that I don't remember how truly difficult it is to wait when you've found someone who gives you the love you so much deserve",
"Jen: grams",
"Grams: and I know you think you know all about the birds and the bees, but what I want to talk to you about is not only the joy of s*x but the responsibility of birth control.",
"Jen: Grams, Henry and I didn't have s*x. Ok? I mean, we--we literally slept together, but, um, we didn't have s*x.",
"Grams: Oh. Oh, you don't know how glad I am to hear you say that.",

"Grams: Every word of it.",

"Gale: There is. Ours.",
"Mitch: What's going on?",
"Gale: Well, I thought about what you said about what's been happening around here lately, and I decided that we should have dinner and figure a few things out.",
"Mitch: But what about business? Our customers? This is an important weekend for us.",

"Joey: No, I just didn't",
"Pacey: Maybe the better question would be did you want me to be Dawson? I'm sorry. I take that back.",
"Joey: Well, the lease is gonna be up soon.",
"Pacey: I'll renew it again if you want me to.",
"Joey: I--I don't know, Pacey. I mean, I don't want to give it up. It just that I don't really feel like I'm ready to...",
"Pacey: Paint?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Pacey: I gotta be honest with you, jo. I really thought after the way he behaved today that you'd love him less, but you don't, do you? If anything, you just love him more.",
"Joey: Pacey. Please don't make this harder than it is.",
"Pacey: Ok. Ok. I just gotta ask one more question, and then I'm gonna stop making this hard on both of us, I swear. If it weren't for Dawson, could you ever love me like that?",
"Joey: Like what?",
"Pacey: Like a soulmate.",
"Joey: Pacey, please don't make me do this. Don't make me choose. I really think the best thing is-- is just to take a couple steps back and...",
"Pacey: Yeah. Look, jo... I'll renew the lease on the wall first thing tomorrow morning.",

I don't want to carry around that burden, ok? That's not the person that I want to be. It's not the person that I am. So I don't hate you.",

"Dawson, Joey and Andie organise their own unique prom when they learn that Jack has been the victim of homophobic discrimination over his choice of prom date. Dawson asks Joey to be his date to the group's anti-prom, but misleads Joey into believing that the night is about their renewed friendship, hiding the fact that he wants to win her back. Pacey attends the prom with Andie on his arm, who has plans to make things happen between the two of them. Dawson and Andie are both upset when they see the chemistry between Joey and Pacey who share an intimate moment on the dance floor. Joey goes to visit Dawson the next day, and tells him she isn't ready to make decisions. Jen breaks up with Henry after he selfishly makes plans for an entire summer at football camp without considering her feelings. Gail responds to Mitch's doubts about her commitment to their relationship by proposing to him. He accepts, witnessed by Dawson and Joey from the doorway."

"[Scene: Outside Dawson's House. Joey and Dawson are walking up to the porch talking about the upcoming finals.]",
"Joey: Oh, I hate finals. What kind of a sadist bases 1/3 of a semester's grade on whether or not you can recite the opening to the Canterbury tales in perfect middle English?",
"Dawson: Joey, we've been over this a thousand times. Your pronunciation is flawless.",
"Joey: Maybe so, but I'm still gonna continue torturing myself until test time. I just have to.",
"Dawson: Of course you will. I'm well aware of the potter neuroses.",
"Joey: I prefer to think of them as quirks.",
"Dawson: Do you?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Dawson: Well, whatever works for you.",
"Joey: I could get into the leery neuroses.",
"Dawson: Uh, we don't have to do that. Besides, I'm, uh, nervous enough on my own right now.",
"Joey: Why?",
"Dawson: Uh, well, there's A... There's an event looming on the horizon, and, uh... I seem to recall a certain pact made by 2 high-school freshmen regarding said event.",
"Joey: Junior prom. We both agreed if we didn't have dates, we'd go together.",
"Dawson: So you do remember.",
"Joey: Are you asking me to prom?",
"Dawson: I don't want to go with some random person and have it mean nothing. You know, I want to go with my oldest friend. That'll be something I'll always remember.",
"Joey: Or we can both agree that it's a meaningless event and not go at all.",
"Dawson: But it does mean something. There are a million reasons why proms are ridiculous and stupid, but we made that pact because it obviously mattered to us. It's a rite of passage. And I can't think of any better way to move forward than to fulfill a pact made by 2 old friends and just have a good time.",
"Joey: Ok. Ok. But I have 2 rules-- no cheesy corsage for me and no blue ruffley- tuxedoey-shirt-thingy for you.",
"Dawson: Done.",
"[The door opens and Mitch and Gale are in it kissing.]",
"Mitch: That's one for right now.",
"Gale: I have to get to the restaurant.",
"Mitch: You do not.",
"Gale: I have to go, honey. Honey.",

"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene picks up where it left off]",
"Joey: You know, I'm not wearing a watch, but I'm probably at least late for something I should probably be at, so...I'll see you guys later.",
"Dawson: See ya.",
"Gale: Uh, sweetheart, we should probably talk about what you just saw.",
"Mitch: You know what? I'll talk to Dawson. You should probably go ahead and get to the restaurant.",
"Gale: Ok.",
"[Kiss]",
"Dawson: This should be good.",
"Mitch: You ok?",
"Dawson: [Snorts] you know what? Yeah, I am.",
"Mitch: About what you just saw",
"Dawson: What I just saw, dad, was something I've seen about 5 million times over the course of my life.",
"Mitch: But under the circumstances, don't you think we should talk about it?",
"Dawson: [Laughs] dad, at this point, I'm numb.",
"Mitch: You're numb?",
"Dawson: Yeah. I mean, you and mom have always had a relationship that's been a little dramatic. All the while, I've been in the middle through all the backs-and-forths and ups and downs, and a little while ago I realized I don't need to do that. I can just sit back detached and watch from afar.",
"Mitch: You can do that. But I think you should know that what's going on between your mother and me is a lot more than casual.",
"Dawson: Are you saying that you and mom are getting back together?",
"Mitch: No. We haven't discussed that.",
"Dawson: In that case, I would prefer you left me out of it entirely. I'm enjoying the numbness. You haven't talked to mom, you don't know even what she's feeling.",
"Mitch: I was married to your mother for 20 years. There's some things I know without having to ask.",

"Pacey: Ok. Um...",

"Andie: Ok.",
"Pacey: Look, I just-- sometimes I... I just feel kind of...",
"Andie: Thirsty? Tired? Mad? Sad?",
"Pacey: Yeah.",
"Andie: Sad?",
"Pacey: Yeah. Uh, it's... Something like that.",
"Andie: Yeah. Maybe it's time that you come out of this cave, just get back out there.",
"Pacey: Back out where?",
"Andie: Out there. You know, go to the prom.",
"Pacey: With who, Andie?",
"Andie: I don't know. Anybody. A girl. You could go with me, if you wanted to.",
"Pacey: You don't have a date to the prom?",
"Andie: I am currently sifting through offers. I have just yet to make my final decision.",
"Pacey: Do you want me to ask you to the prom?",
"Andie: [Laughs] I just want to see you happy again.",
"Pacey: I don't think that the prom is going to act as some magical happiness elixir for me. And you're probably better off taking one of those guys up on their offer.",
"Andie: I'm sure I will.",
"[Scene: Inside Joey's Living room. Bessie is sitting on the couch as Joey is telling her about earlier.]",
"Joey: Dawson asked me to prom, and I said yes. And now I feel like I made a huge horrible mistake. I mean, he reassured me that it will only serve to re-cement our admittedly shaky friendship, but...I don't know.",
"Bessie: What about the undeniable romantic implications? Not to mention Pacey.",
"Joey: What about Pacey?",
"Bessie: What did you think accepting Dawson's prom invitation would do if not put you right in the middle of his tug of war with Pacey?",
"Joey: [Sighs] well, I--I know. I'm just--I'm trying. I'm trying so hard just to get things back to the way they were.",
"Bessie: Come on, jo. You're not that naive.",
"Joey: I have to be. I'm backed up into a corner. I don't have any choice.",
"Bessie: You always have a choice.",
"Joey: Well... No appealing choice.",
"Bessie: So you're looking to me to provide the magical key to this problem?",
"Joey: Yeah. [Sighs] I gotta say, you've been a little thin in the advice department lately.",
"Bessie: Give me a problem that actually has a solution, and I'll solve it.",
"Joey: You're right. I mean, no matter what I do, somebody gets hurt. Including me.",
"[Scene: Inside the School Cafeteria. Andie and Jack are sitting at a table talking while watching people get their tickets for the prom.]",
"Andie: I hate the stupid prom. Stupid prom can kiss my ass.",
"Jack: What's wrong with you?",
"Andie: I thought that Pacey was gonna ask me to the prom, but no, instead I must humiliate myself and go alone.",
"Jack: Better you than going with an ex-boyfriend that you're not over yet.",
"Andie: I am so over him. I am! That's why I want to go with him is because it'll be safe.",
"Jack: Mm-hmm.",
"Andie: So what about you? Did you get your tickets yet?",
"Jack: No. Working on it. See, the theme this year--couples. They're going to have every couple's names on the balloons, the little place cards, on those cheesy prom souvenirs.",
"Andie: So?",
"Jack: So when you go to buy your tickets, you gotta say who you're bringing, which means I have to march over there and tell the whole world I'm bringing a guy.",
"Andie: Don't you think when you show up with Ethan, they're gonna figure out that he's your date?",
"Jack: He's not my \"date\" date. We're going as friends. He calls it the next step towards self-acceptance and actualization, whatever the hell that means.",
"Andie: I don't see what you're so worried about. It's not like you to care what other people think.",
"Jack: You see who's selling the tickets?",
"Andie: Barbara Johns?",
"[Scene: Outside the school at a picnic table. Jen and Henry are getting up from eating and are walking back to class while talking.]",
"Jen: So, you know what they're having this weekend is the junior prom.",
"Henry: Really?",
"Jen: Yeah. God, is there a more ridiculous and embarrassing ritual than the prom? The way that it totally reinforces traditional gender roles, rewards the cool kids, punishes the geeks, I mean, the pressure this one single night exerts on the common teenager... To make hollow, awkward romantic gestures like pinning a cheap corsage on taffeta, having drunken s*x with some guy whose name you won't remember, and then puking in the back of some cheesy-ass rented limo, I mean, it's just so overwhelming.",
"Henry: You've never been to a prom before, have you?",
"Jen: Well, no. But I know enough about them to know it's a sad",
"Henry: so, in other words, you're asking me to go.",
"Jen: [Sighs] yeah.",
"Henry: I'd love to.",
"[Scene: Inside the School Cafeteria. Jack is trying to get his tickets.]",
"Barbara: Ok. Date.",
"Jack: And, um, Ethan Brody.",
"Barbara: Excuse me?",
"Jack: Ethan Brody. E-T-H-A-N.",
"Barbara: No, no, no. A boy cannot go to the prom with a boy. The definition of a prom date is a boy and a girl.",
"Jack: Well, I don't think that's any of your business.",
"Barbara: To be honest, I don't understand why you feel the need to cause a spectacle and ruin the prom for the rest of us, but if you feel you have to do so, I can't sell you a ticket till I talk to Mrs. Meyer, head of the prom committee.",
"Jack: You're not gonna sell me a ticket?",
"Barbara: What exactly is it the two of you will do, anyway? Take a nice prom photo for grandma's photo album? Dance stubbled cheek to stubbled cheek? Share a romantic kiss under the moonlight? You don't think that's gonna weird out even the ones who are sympathetic to people like you?",
"Jack: You can't do this.",
"Barbara: Like I said, jack, I'll check with Mrs. Meyer, and you can come back and try again. Next!",
"[Jack turns to leaves and runs in to Dawson.]",
"Dawson: What's up, jack? You ok?",
"Jack: Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I--I gotta go.",
"[Jack Leaves]",
"Barbara: The theme of this year's prom is \"couples.\" Please state your name as well as the name of your date.",
"Dawson: Barbara, you're in my gym class. You know my name.",
"Barbara: Please state your name as well as the name of your date.",
"Dawson: Dawson leery and Joey potter.",
"Barbara: Oh? Happy couple back together?",
"Dawson: Something like that, yeah.",
"[He turns to see that Pacey overheard this.]",
"[Scene: Outside the school on the steps. Jack, Andie, Dawson and Joey are sitting there talking.]",
"Joey: They can't do this. We won't let them.",
"Andie: Yeah. We'll--we'll lodge a formal complaint. Not only will you get your tickets for free, but we will get Barbara Johns to apologize in front of the whole school on her hands and knees.",
"Jack: Guys...",
"Andie: We could go to Mrs. Meyer and tell her what Barbara did. She has to sell the tickets. It's discrimination.",
"Jack: Guys!",
"Andie: What?",
"Jack: I appreciate the support, I do, but it's ok. I'm just not gonna go to the prom.",
"Andie: What? You have to go! At this point, it's political.",
"Jack: That's just it. It's a prom. It's supposed to be fun. Why does my entire life have to be a fight? Why is something that's normal for someone else have to be so political for me?",
"Andie: 'Cause that's just the way it is, and until things change, you have to fight. And we'll be there with you. All the way.",
"Jack: Just wanted to go to the prom. That's all.",
"Andie: Well, if you're not going, I'm not going.",
"Joey: Me, neither.",
"Andie: Good! Then we'll boycott, and we'll organize.",
"Dawson: I've got a better idea. Jack, you're right. Let's hold our own prom. Right? An alternative prom. Think about it. Why are we paying 80 bucks a pop to sit where they tell us to sit, eat rubbery chicken, and listen to a special selection of Barbara Johns' favorite tunes when we can hold the anti-prom? Where it's not about who you bring, but who you are.",
"Andie: I like it. Yeah, I think it's a great idea, Dawson.",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Jack: What would an alternative prom be without a couple of gay guys?",
"[Scene: Inside the Leery Fish House Kitchen. Dawson is talking to Gale and Mitch about the Anti-Prom.]",
"Dawson: Should you guys choose to take me up on this proposal, I worked it out and the revenue from ticket sales will offset the cost. I'm telling you, we can totally make this work.",
"Mitch: You've obviously given this a lot of thought. I only have one question--why?",
"Dawson: I don't know. Big things are happening all around. I'm just trying to facilitate my own big thing. If the answer is yes.",
"Gale: Should we say yes now or continue to torture him?",
"Dawson: Mom, thank you. You guys will not regret this, I promise.",
"Gale: But you do realize this is my restaurant, so I will be here.",
"Mitch: And every prom needs a chaperone.",
"Dawson: Ok. Great. [Laughs] I'm gonna go hang some flyers.",
"[Dawson Leaves]",
"Gale: Well, he seems to have gotten through yesterday's events unscathed.",
"Mitch: He says he's numb at this point.",
"Gale: Is that a good thing?",
"Mitch: I don't know. But he did seem, surprisingly enough, totally ok.",
"Gale: Well, that's a relief.",
"Mitch: Kind of got me to thinking, though.",
"[Gale samples something from one of the pots.]",
"Gale: Mmm! Who put cayenne pepper in this marinara sauce?",
"Mitch: Gale?",
"Gale: Yeah?",
"Mitch: I thought maybe we should discuss what we're doing here?",
"Gale: What we're doing where?",
"Mitch: This thing you and I are doing. I thought maybe we should discuss what it means.",
"Gale: Can't we just enjoy it and see where it leads? Why do we always have to analyze everything? Hello! I asked a question. Who put cayenne pepper in the marinara sauce?",
"Mitch: [Sighs]",
"[Scene: Inside the School Cafeteria. Jack and Andie are selling tickets to the Anti-Prom at a table right next to Barbara's table.]",
"Andie: can you believe this, jack?",
"Jack: I know. This thing could actually turn out to be a success.",
"Andie: In a manner of speaking. Hi.",
"Barbara: Just because the dregs of society go to your prom does not make it a success. Nobody that matters would be caught dead there. I certainly wouldn't go if you paid me.",
"Jack: Good thing, 'cause we don't want your kind.",
"Barbara: And what kind is that, the good Christian kind?",
"Jack: [Laughs] this is not about religion, Barbara. I mean the kind that hates people. The intolerant, judgmental, hypocritical kind. The close-minded, immature, bigoted kind.",
"Andie: With bad fashion sense.",
"Jack: Really bad.",
"Barbara: Look, at least I'm not going to hell.",
"Jack: That's it? That's your whole comeback? Ooh! The threat of eternal damnation is a pretty good comeback. Well, that threat is not yours to make. You just don't get it, do you? You're totally missing the point.",
"Barbara: Huh.",
"Jack: Next!",
"[Scene: Inside Jen's Bedroom. Grams is fitting a tux for Henry while Jen sits on the bed watching.]",
"Grams: And to think I was going to give this to the goodwill.",
"Jen: You're gonna look great, Henry.",
"Henry: I feel like a busboy.",
"Grams: It's the burden of men, dear. While out on the town, you must stand in the background and let your woman shine.",
"Jen: Oh, I think that Henry shines just fine on his own, grams.",
"Grams: He certainly does.",
"[Teapot whistles]",
"Grams: ooh, there's my tea. I'll be right back.",
"[Grams leaves]",
"Jen: Ok. I...I think it's time that you and I had the talk.",
"Henry: The talk?",
"Jen: Yeah. The prom s*x talk.",
"Henry: The prom s*x talk?",
"Jen: Come on, Henry. Like it wasn't going to come up sooner or later.",
"Henry: Not necessarily.",
"Jen: Oh, ok. Tell me that you weren't thinking that you, me, and the prom didn't mean the distinct possibility of drunken, backseat, rented limo nooky?",
"Henry: I--I didn't rent a limo.",
"Jen: Ok, that's not the point. The prom puts a lot of pressure on kids to do it just for the sake of it. Then you end up doing it 15 minutes before curfew, and it's completely unromantic and way too fast, and it--it just generally sucks. And you can never take that back or change it, so... So I thought that maybe we could make the decision right now not to do it.",
"Henry: Oh, um, I'm in no race. You know that.",
"Jen: Ok.",
"Henry: But we... We are gonna do it eventually, right?",
"Jen: [Laughs] come here.",
"[Scene: Inside Andie's Bedroom. Andie walks in with Pacey following shortly behind her.]",
"Andie: To what do I owe the honor of this visit?",
"Pacey: I'm just bored, I guess.",
"Andie: [Laughs] you always knew how to flatter a girl.",
"Pacey: I try. So, um, guess you're probably going to that whole alternative prom thing.",
"Andie: Mm-hmm. Oh, ho! You are not gonna believe what I did today. I threw my ticket back in Barbara Johns' face. Know what that witch said to me when I bought it? \"Oh, that is so brave, Andie. A girl going to the prom alone.\" Ooh!",
"Pacey: Why would you go to the prom alone? I thought you were sifting through offers.",
"Andie: Yeah. Well, uh... Turns out that I didn't have any.",
"Pacey: So why didn't you just tell me that?",
"Andie: Because I didn't want a pity ask, ok? And it doesn't matter anyway, because all of my friends are gonna be there, and at this point, I'm just going to support the whole stupid alternative prom thing.",
"Pacey: You should have been able to tell me. And it wouldn't be a pity ask, because it can't be pity if it's an honor. Andrea McPhee... Would you go to the prom with me?",
"[Scene: Outside Joey's house. Dawson walks up to the house in a tux, and Bessie is there waiting with a camera, as Joey comes out onto the porch.]",

"Joey: It's just a dress, Dawson.",
"Bessie: Ok, picture time! [Giggles]",
"[Bessie takes some pictures of Joey and Dawson as a couple.]",
"Joey: we should probably go. We don't want to be late.",
"Bessie: Always hated having your picture taken. Well, so, Dawson, where's the corsage?",
"Dawson: We made a deal-- no corsages-- but I had to bring something. So I thought I'd bring these.",
"Joey: Diamond earrings?",
"Bessie: Wow.",
"Joey: Dawson, I can't take these.",
"Dawson: Relax, they're my mom's. They're on loan, like at the academy awards. I thought they would look amazing on you.",
"Joey: I--i can't wear them. What if something happens?",
"Dawson: If something happens to what, your earlobes? Stop it. Put 'em on.",
"Joey: They are beautiful.",
"Bessie: So put them on, and I'll get one more picture. Ohh.",
"Joey: Thank you.",
"Bessie: 1...2...3!",

"Mitch: Lock the cash register.",
"Gale: I'm on it.",
"[Scene: Inside the Fish House. Ethan and Jack are sitting at a table alone. Jack seems kind of nervous.]",
"Ethan: Hey, can you believe we wore the same thing? [Laughs] yeah, well, I thought it was pretty funny. [Sighs] jack, I'm not expecting you to dance with me, if that's what you're worried about.",
"Jack: No. No, I'm not worried about anything. Nah.",
"Ethan: Ok.",

"Henry: Yep.",
"Jen: At the prom.",
"Henry: Yep.",
"Jen: So, what are you thinking?",
"Henry: I wasn't thinking about s*x, ok?",
"Jen: Henry, chill. You're allowed to think about s*x.",
"Henry: Well, I--I wasn't.",
"Jen: No, I'm sure. I'm just saying if you were, it's fine. You can think about s*x, I can think about s*x, it's just that tonight that it's not a factor. Right?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Cut to the Jack and Ethan standing watching the dancing going on.]",
"Ethan: I'm glad, you know.",
"Jack: About what?",
"Ethan: That you had the courage to bring me, jack. I know it's not easy. Even for me. When brad and I first told people what was happening",
"Jack: can we maybe put a pin in the \"when I was a young gay boy\" stories for tonight? It's not providing me with a lot of solace right now.",
"Ethan: What I was gonna say, jack, is that brad and I never did anything together. In fact, for all my bravado, I've never asked a guy to anything like this.",
"Jack: Wha... You mean all that crap about actualization, you've never actualized?",
"Ethan: I guess I thought it was a hurdle we could jump over together.",
"Jack: At my high-school prom where you know no one, and I know everyone? Tell me, how \"together\" is that, Ethan?",
"Ethan: So you win in the courage department.",
"Jack: No, I don't, because I was tricked into it. Courage would have been telling you that I'm not ready for this, that however healthy this might be for my sexual identity, I really don't want to be here right now.",
"Ethan: Well, I'm sorry.",
"Jack: So am I.",
"Ethan: Where are you going?",
"Jack: I'm going to get a soda. I was wondering, wise gay sage that you are, coke, diet Pepsi-- what's better for my self-actualization?",
"[Jack Leaves]",
"[Scene: Jen and Henry are in a line waiting to get something, and talking]",
"Jen: You know, there are other things that we can talk about. Besides s*x.",
"Henry: Of course.",
"Jen: We--we could talk about... Summer. We could talk about what we're gonna do this summer. I thought we could take a couple of day trips up to Nantucket, go see some concerts up in Boston.",
"Henry: Sure. When I get back from football camp.",
"Jen: What-ball camp?",
"Henry: Football camp. In Cleveland. 8 weeks. I leave at the end of june.",
"Jen: You're leaving me for the whole summer to go to football camp, and you tell me this now?",
"Henry: Well...What's wrong with now?",
"Jen: You don't devastate your girlfriend with the news of an impending 2-month separation in the middle of prom. That ruins the night.",
"Henry: I've ruined the night?",
"Jen: And as for later goes, whatever slim possibility may have existed that you and I might actually have s*x, you can just forget about that now.",
"Henry: We already established we weren't having s*x tonight.",
"Jen: Come on, Henry. That's just what you say to alleviate the pressure and make it seem spontaneous. Of course, there was a chance. It's our prom!",
"Henry: Wh-wh-- damn.",
"[Cut to Dawson and Joey Dancing, when Joey pulls a little back from Dawson to see his face.]",
"Joey: Could I ask a brazen but obvious question?",
"Dawson: Yeah, of course.",
"Joey: Why did you bring me here tonight, Dawson?",
"Dawson: What?",
"Joey: Was it just so you could throw jabs at Pacey?",
"Dawson: What are you talking about? I had no idea Pacey would be here.",
"Joey: You don't think I get the subtext of every one of those looks you keep throwing his way? I mean, Dawson, you might as well get on the P.A. And scream, \"she's mine, Pacey. Ha. I win.\"",
"Dawson: Actually, that's not what I'm thinking.",
"Joey: Then what are you thinking?",
"Dawson: I'm thinking, what right did he have to show up to my mother's restaurant at a prom that I organized. What exactly is he trying to accomplish?",
"Joey: Now, given the circumstances under which this night originated, what right do you have to exclude anyone?",
"Dawson: I'm not excluding him, jo. I haven't said a word to him.",
"Joey: Fine, but that hasn't stopped you from parading me around all night like I'm some sort of a prize.",
"Dawson: Parading you? I'm not parading you around, Joey. You're my date, and I'm dancing with you. It's not my fault if they keep staring at us.",
"Joey: You're right. None of it's your fault. None of it's anybody's fault. It's just happening. And who cares what it's doing to me?",
"Dawson: Ok. You know, let's just start over, ok? It's just Dawson and Joey at the prom having a good time. Ok?",
"Joey: I need a breather.",
"[Scene: Outside the Fish House. Jack is standing by the water's edge alone when Joey joins him there.]",
"Joey: Care to make a run for it?",
"Jack: Yes, please. Ohh.",
"Joey: So, what are you hiding from?",
"Jack: I am hiding from Barbara Johns.",
"Joey: She's here?",
"Jack: No. Yeah, in a way, she is. Oh, man. She was right, Joey. You know, I don't belong here. I'm not gonna dance with Ethan. I'm not gonna have my picture taken with him. And whatever good time I was gonna have tonight, I just ruined it by the way I treated him.",
"Joey: I remember a conversation less than a year ago, under these very stars, and all you could see was the pain and the loneliness that made your life different from everyone else's.",
"Jack: As opposed to now, when all I can see is the pain and loneliness that makes our lives the same? Look. I know how sad it is to hide from something that you really want, Joey.",
"Joey: I just want everything to go back to the way it was, you know? All of us friends again, and--and me not caught in the middle.",
"Jack: Well, if you want things to get back to the way that they were, you have to set the example. Dawson and Pacey, those two just aren't gonna do it themselves right now.",
"Joey: How about we hide out here for a while first?",
"Jack: It sounds good to me.",
"Joey: Thank you.",
"Jack: Thank you.",
"[Scene: Inside the Fish House. Mitch and Gale ate dancing together and talking.]",
"Gale: You know, this might be a tad presumptuous, but I took the liberty of packing a bag. I thought maybe I could stay over.",
"Mitch: I'm not sure that's such a good idea, gale.",
"Gale: Mitchell, what are you talking about?",
"Mitch: I'm not here just for your whim, gale.",
"Gale: [Laughs] excuse me?",
"Mitch: Go ahead and laugh, but you know, we've finally gotten back to this point in our relationship by being honest with each other. I'm not gonna stop that honesty now.",
"Gale: Ok. So if the honest thing is to talk about it, let's talk about it.",
"Mitch: I can't keep playing this game. Is it a slip-up? Is it a relationship? Is it a Saturday-night arrangement? What is it?",
"Gale: What do you want it to be?",
"Mitch: Nah. You know what, gale? I'm sick of being the one always anxious to define our relationship or lack thereof. What I want is for you to define it for once.",
"[Cut to Pacey sitting alone at the table and Joey coming up from behind him.]",
"Joey: I've been meaning to ask you something all night, Pacey. Would you like to dance with me?",
"Pacey: Yes.",
"[Cut to them dancing.]",
"Pacey: How come this feels so right?",
"Joey: I think it was those dance lessons.",
"Pacey: Where did you get those? They're not you.",
"Joey: Why, because I'm just a poor tomboy, or 'cause Dawson gave them to me?",
"Pacey: Neither. You see this? [Points to her bracelet] This is you. It's not showy or gaudy. Just simple. Elegant. Beautiful.",
"Joey: It's my mom's bracelet.",
"Pacey: I know.",
"Joey: How do you know?",
"Pacey: Well, because you told me. 6 months ago. You were wearing that, uh, blue sweater with the snowflakes that you have. We were walking down the hallways at school. I was annoying you as per usual. You said, \"look, Pacey. \"I just found my mother's bracelet this morning, so why don't you cut me some slack?\"",
"Joey: You remember that?",
"Pacey: I remember everything.",
"[They dance closer to each other, but then Joey looks up from his shoulder and sees Dawson. He turns and leaves the building and Joey pulls away from Pacey, and Pacey already knows without asking what just happened.]",
"Joey: Dawson. Dawson, wait. Dawson, wait.",
"Dawson: How could you do that to me? Are you trying to hurt me?",
"Joey: No! I'm trying to set an example. I'm trying to get things back to the way they were.",
"Dawson: You can't go back to the way they were, Joey. Don't you get it? You can't climb through my window, pop in E.T., And have it be the same, ok? You can't dance with him at the prom I organized and expect me not to be hurt.",
"Joey: You said tonight was about you, me, and our friendship. And if that was really the case, it wouldn't matter who I danced with.",
"Dawson: I said tonight was about moving forward, Joey. What did you think that meant? You can't have thought that that's all I wanted. The whole reason I suggested this whole stupid alternative prom wasn't about jack, it was about you, all right? And maybe I tried too hard, but I didn't want to miss my chance to dance with you, to hold you, to make you remember what it was like between us. I thought maybe, you know, if I could make it perfect...",
"Joey: That I would pick you? Say it, Dawson. You thought if you orchestrated this whole evening, that I would be convinced into picking you over Pacey, right?",
"Dawson: You have to pick somebody, Joey. I just wanted to remind you what you'd be missing if you didn't pick me. 'Cause you'd be missing a lot. So would I. We'd be missing everything. [Dawson kisses her] That's how the evening was supposed to end.",
"[Scene: Outside Jen's House. Jen and Henry are returning from the Anti-Prom arguing.]",
"Jen: I think I can take it from here, thanks.",
"Henry: Wow, I think those were the most words you've said to me since I told you about football camp.",
"Jen: Henry, I'm not in the mood.",
"Henry: Fine. Then, let's talk about something else, like why would you make such a big deal about there being no possibility of us having s*x if you were planning to do it all along?",
"Jen: I wasn't planning on anything. I mean, I thought that-- that maybe if it happened, if it felt right and-- and natural, then yeah, maybe we would, but you know, it doesn't even matter.",
"Henry: Because of football camp? You know, I hate it when you do this. You get extreme about the future of our relationship at the first sign of one of your insecurities.",
"Jen: This isn't about my insecurities, Henry. It's about your cowardice,",
"Henry: what?",
"Jen: And the fact that I planned our entire summer together, and you weren't even thinking about spending any time with me. For the first time in my life, I made myself vulnerable to somebody... And now I just feel stupid.",
"Henry: Jen, my decision to go, it's-- it's got nothing to do with you.",
"Jen: Exactly. But if this were a real relationship, your choice for those 8 weeks, it would have had at least something to do with me. Good night, Henry.",
"Henry: Jen, I won't go through this again. I can't. This time, there won't be any posters or grand declarations of my feelings towards you. You walk in that house, and it's not just good night... It's good-bye.",
"Jen: Good-bye.",
"[Scene: Inside the Train Station. Ethan is about to go to the train when Jack runs after him to stop him.]",
"Jack: Ethan, wait! Wait. What are you doing? Are you leaving?",
"Ethan: Are you kidding me?",
"Jack: Look, I-I'm sorry for the way that I acted tonight.",
"Ethan: No, jack, I'm sorry. You clearly weren't ready for this.",
"Jack: That's just it, because I don't know what this is, so maybe we should define this before we decide who's ready.",
"Ethan: What are you saying?",
"Jack: I-I'm saying... Ok, I'm saying that tonight... I don't think that I was uncomfortable with bringing a guy to the prom. I think I was uncomfortable with taking someone that doesn't feel the same way about me as I feel about him.",
"Ethan: Jack, I really like you.",
"Jack: Then why all the hurdles? Why this whole journey for us to be together when all you had to do was just lean over and",
"Ethan: kiss you.",
"Jack: Yeah, something like that.",
"Ethan: Because, jack, I don't wanna kiss someone who isn't ready. And I don't know if you're ready, so I'm afraid-- you're gonna have to kiss me first.",
"Jack: How do you know that I couldn't?",
"Ethan: I don't know. I'm guessing.",
"Jack: Then maybe you're guessing wrong. Maybe I am ready.",
"Ethan: Ok, so here we are--a lone train station, no one around, no lights, no cameras, no network television to cut to commercial. It's just you and me. So kiss me, jack. I dare you.",
"[Scene: Outside the Fish House. Pacey is walking Andie home from the Anti-Prom.]",
"Pacey: I honestly believed that when I came over to invite you to the prom, it was because I wanted to go to the prom with you, and I can't tell you how much I wish that were the truth, but as soon as I got there, I realized that I wanted to go to the prom because",
"Andie: I know why you wanted to go to the prom, Pacey, and I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you. But at least you got to dance with her.",
"Pacey: What can I do? Really, I would do whatever it takes to make this up to you, Andie.",
"Andie: What it would take is something that I don't think you can give me right now, and I'm not mad at you, Pacey-- honestly, I'm not. I just-- I just really feel bad for you.",
"Pacey: Did I tell you what I'm gonna be doing this summer? I'm gonna sail true love down to key west. Just me and the sea. How's that for Hemingwayesque, huh?",
"Andie: So when are you gonna leave?",
"Pacey: Right after finals.",
"Andie: Have you told her how you feel?",
"Pacey: Andie, she already knows how I feel.",
"Andie: I mean, have you really told her, Pacey? You can't just leave without letting her know. I mean, that's not like you. You--you don't just stand and let things happen, and you don't run away, either. You have to tell her that you love her, and you have to try to get her back, because if you don't, I promise you, you will regret it.",
"Pacey: Maybe.",
"Andie: No, Pacey, you will.",
"[Scene: Outside Dawson's House. Dawson is sitting in a chair reading when Joey comes up to join him.]",
"Joey: Hey.",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Joey: Um... I brought these back for you. They're so beautiful, I-- I'm not quite sure they're me, but... Really fun time wearing them. So, I'm not going to deny that when you kissed me last night... I felt something. Something that I wasn't expecting, and something that... Probably will always be there. I can't keep hurting people, Dawson, and I can't choose, so I'm telling you the same thing that I told Pacey. Please don't make me. I'm not ready, and I can't do it.",
"Dawson: Ok.",
"Joey: Ok?",
"Dawson: I'll wait. You can call me an eternal optimist, but I have faith. This whole year, I've been on this... Soul-searching journey... And I feel like I've finally come to the end. And what I found... Was you.",

"Gale: Mitch! What? Mitch. Come here.",
"Mitch: What is it?",
"Gale: Just come here. Um, here, sit down.",
"Mitch: What are you up to?",
"Gale: Just this. Last night, you asked me to define this relationship, and I wasn't ready to do it. I have just been so afraid of-- of screwing up, of making the same mistakes twice. But I'm not gonna let that fear stop us from being together anymore. So, if our fate is to make the same mistakes all over again, then by god, I hope we make those mistakes as well as we did the first time. Is that a yes?",
"Mitch: Well, you didn't ask me a question.",
"Gale: You know the question.",
"Mitch: You know the answer.",

"Gail and Mitch prepare for their hasty wedding, while elsewhere in Capeside, Pacey finalizes plans to leave straight after the ceremony. As the day goes on, it becomes blindingly obvious that Joey must make a choice, and when a conversation takes place between her and Dawson, during which he accepts he must cease being selfish and allow Joey her freedom to make her own choices, she leaves to find Pacey, hoping to tell him how she really feels before he leaves Capeside. Meanwhile, Jen regrets ending things with Henry the way she did, and ends up chasing his camp bus to tell him how she feels. In another carpe diem moment, Jack pursues Ethan, the boy he took to the prom, although he is unhappy with the outcome. However, his heartache leads to a new connection with his father, and the two embrace for the first time in years. When Dawson returns to his house after crying for Joey at the side of the creek, he finds Jen, Jack and Andie sitting on his bed, waiting to support him after his rejection by Joey. Joey, meanwhile, manages to catch Pacey before he leaves, and instead of stopping him, confesses that she is in love with him, and leaves on the boat with him."

"Joey: Dawson, it was an honor when you mother asked me, how could I refuse?",

"Pacey: Well, what do you want me to do, sit around all summer and watch from afar as you and Dawson attempt to resuscitate your ailing relationship? No, thanks.",
"Joey: Well, I expected you to at least say good-bye.",
"Pacey: Oh, yeah, the good-bye scene. Played that one over a thousand times in my head. I come to you, heart in hand, and announce my plans. You look at me, pained, but then, of course, the potter sarcasm kicks in and I leave never getting what I came for.",
"Joey: What is that, Pacey?",
"Pacey: You never ask me to stay. Ever.",
"Joey: Look, that's not my decision.",
"Pacey: Yes, it is. It always has been. You may be too afraid to make it, but let's be honest with each other. The decision to be together or not be together has always been yours.",
"Joey: All I asked for was time.",
"Pacey: And that's exactly what you got. And you're gonna get 3 more months of it.",
"Joey: I may be undecided, Pacey, but at least I'm not running away. You can dress it up any way you want, Pacey. It still comes down to the same thing: You're giving up.",
"Pacey: I'm giving up.",
"Joey: Yeah, you.",
"Pacey: Me?",
"Joey: Mm-hmm!",
"Pacey: Ha ha ha. Turn around. It's your wall.",
"Joey: Mm-hmm.",
"Pacey: It's unfinished... Just like us.",
"Joey: Believe it or not, Pacey, this is not the ending that I asked for.",
"Pacey: Me either. But it's the ending we got, isn't it?",
"Joey: Yeah, I guess it is.",

"Joey: What are you talking about?",
"Dawson: Do I have to spell it out for you? Pacey's going-away party.",
"Joey: I'm here, aren't I?",
"Dawson: Yeah, in body, but not in spirit. You've got nothing positive to say. You're basically going through the motions with a scowl on your face.",
"Joey: Dawson, I'm doing the best I can. Can you cut me some slack?",
"Dawson: Cut me some slack, Joey. Don't make me feel like this!",
"Joey: Like what?",
"Dawson: Like you're stuck with me! I don't deserve that.",
"Joey: You're right. I-- you don't. I'm-- I'm sorry.",
"Dawson: Well, why don't you just go? All right? Give the guy my best.",
"Joey: I'm staying.",

"Grams: Oh, look! Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. Ok, who wants to make the first wish?",
"Jen: Oh, my god--ow! Ow. That's a piece of a crab shell. Chipped my tooth. Great. Great. Just what I need to keep men permanently away from me.",
"Andie: Well, if that doesn't work, you can always join me this summer in the nunnery!",
"Jack: At least you get to have relationships before they fail.",
"Grams: Good grief. You all sound like a bunch of old ladies.",
"Jen: Grams, it's been a tough couple of months.",
"Grams: You don't know what tough is.",
"Jen: No offense, grams, but you have no idea what our lives are like.",
"Grams: What, you think I've never been in love before?",
"Jen: Yeah. Once. With one man your whole entire life.",
"Grams: You know, when I was... Just a few years older than you, I was working at Brunswick naval hospital, and I met a boy who had the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen. He was leaving for Pusan in the morning, but we had an entire glorious day on the beach, and at the end of that day, he leaned in close to me and whispered, \"will you wait for me?\"",
"Andie: So...What'd you do?",
"Grams: I froze. I knew if I leaned just 2 inches closer, the world as I knew it would be changed forever.",
"Jack: So you did nothing?",
"Andie: You didn't kiss him, you didn't try to speak to him. You just did nothing. Nothing.",
"Jack: Did you ever wonder what your life might have been like if you had kissed him?",
"Grams: That is just the point. I don't have to wonder. The very next day, I got my best friend sally to cover the shift for me. And after 7 turbulent hours in the cargo hold of a CL30... I arrived in San Diego, went straight to the dock, and in front of the entire crew of the U.S.S. Missouri, I kissed him.",
"Jen: That's funny. I had no idea gramps was in the Korean War.",
"Grams: He wasn't. Thomas Culpepper... The boy with the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen... Died in Pusan in shallow water before he ever made it off the boat. 2 years later, I married your grandfather. So I had 46 wonderful years with one man and one perfect kiss with another. And I have no regrets. Wonder how many of you will be able to say that about your lives?",

"Gale: Have you seen Dan?",
"Dawson: No. Have you seen Joey?",
"Gale: Uh, no.",
"[Cut to Dawson finding Joey]",
"Dawson: Bessie called. She wants you to stop by the store on your way home.",
"Joey: Thanks.",
"Dawson: Joey, about this afternoon... I don't want to fight. That's the last thing I want to do.",
"Joey: Well, I don't-- I don't want to fight either, Dawson. I'm sorry. If we're gonna have an honest relationship, Dawson, then there's... Something you should know. I broke things off with Pacey, not entirely, but in large part because... I didn't want to lose you. I may have lived across the creek, but it was only when I was rowing in this direction that I actually felt like I was rowing home. You're so much of my life, Dawson. I mean... Your house is my house and your family is my family, and there's not a single significant event I've experienced that you haven't experienced with me, and I was so afraid of losing that. But...If that wasn't the choice... And if I thought that there was a chance that you would forgive me... I may have chosen differently. And you deserve to know that.",
"[Scene: Inside the Grams Mobile. Grams is driving and Jen is in the Passenger seat. Jack and Andie are in the back seat.]",

"Grams: It's never too late.",
"Jen: Yeah, I suppose.",
"Grams: Here's what I suppose.",
"Jen: What on earth are you doing?!",
"Grams: We are gonna catch that bus, and you're gonna tell that boy exactly how you feel.",
"[Scene: On the corner near Joey's wall. Joey walks up to the corner carrying a bag, when Pacey who has been waiting for her, takes a bottle out of the bag.]",
"Pacey: What took you so long? I got thirsty. I called Bessie, and she called you. I tell you, it is not easy work finishing things off.",
"Joey: Pacey, what does this mean?",
"Pacey: Well, it means you were right. That my leaving would be giving up on you. And I'm not quite prepared to do that just yet. But it also means that I need to know that you're not quite prepared to give up on me yet either. So, all that being said, I refer to the wall with its... Hastily yet adoringly written S.O.S., Which I guess kinda speaks for itself. I spent an hour and a half staring at this half-painted wall after we talked last night... Just staring and thinking. So, the way I figure it... It's your turn to stare now.",
"[Pacey has painted on her wall Ask Me to Stay]",
"[Scene: Dawson's Back Yard. The wedding is going on and Gale and Mitch are giving their vows. Joey and Dawson just watch them from the background.]",

"Mitch: You're my best friend. I loved you before I knew you, and I will love you for eternity, for you are my beloved. You're my best friend.",

"[Scene: Inside the Gram's Mobile. They are still on the road looking for Henry's bus.]",
"Andie: Grams, you've been driving for hours! His bus could be anywhere by now.",
"Jack: Yeah. We could have missed him.",
"Grams: You can't miss a giant gray bus filled with high school football players. Like that one right there.",

"Jack: Oh, my god! Ohh...",
"[Scene: At the roadway rest stop. Jen is running around looking for Henry and shouting for him.]",

"[She is about to go into the bathroom when the bus driver stops her.]",
"Bus Driver: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! You can't go in there. What, have you lost your mind?",
"Jen: Well, quite possibly, yes, I might have lost it. Henry... 9 months ago, you paid $500 to kiss me, and I was too dumb to realize what that meant and what you were really offering me, but I know now. It means that there really is such a thing as a second chance and that no matter how old or how jaded you are, when you meet the person you're supposed to be with, everything's gonna be new-- a sunset, a cheesy love song, and especially s*x.",
"Boys: Whoo!",
"Jen: Henry, I'm the reason we didn't have s*x after prom.",
"Henry: Trust me, I know.",
"Jen: Not because I was mad at you but because I was more nervous than you were. I have been with guys before, but I have never been with anybody that I loved, and in that way, I'm more of a virgin than you could ever be.",
"[Laughter]",

"Pacey: Then you've made your choice. Right there. You've made your choice. Good for you.",
"Joey: I guess I have. Yeah.",
"Pacey: Wasn't so hard, was it? Should have made it months ago. Saved us all a lot of time and energy. And heartache.",
"[Dawson comes out of the house carrying a camera.]",
"Dawson: I see all the members of the triangle are present and accounted for.",
"Joey: Um, can I have this camera? I'm gonna go take some pictures.",

"Joey: Good-bye, Pacey.",
"[Joey takes the camera and leaves the two of them.]",

"Pacey: Ease up, man. I'm here for the wedding.",
"Dawson: Last I heard, you were sailing the 7 seas.",
"Pacey: As indeed I am. Tomorrow. Today I'm here for your parents.",
"Dawson: I'll be sure to pass on your congratulations.",
"Pacey: Yeah. Speaking of congratulations... I guess I should be passing some on to you.",
"Dawson: What are you talking about?",
"Pacey: Well, she made her choice, Dawson. You're it. You got what you wanted. Things are never gonna be the same between us, are they?",
"Dawson: No.",
"Pacey: Yeah. Yeah, I didn't think so.",

"Andie: That was awesome!",
"Jack: You know you gotta resign from the bitter club now.",

"Grams: Oh, I am so proud of you. You showed great, great courage today. How does it feel?",
"Jen: Well, I feel like an idiot. A happy idiot.",
"Grams: Did she say happy? You don't know how long I've waited to hear you say that word.",
"Jen: Yeah, you and me both. Been waiting a long time to feel it.",
"Andie: Ok! Ok, enough hugging for today.",
"Jen: You know, I think that we've still got one thing left to do on our carpe diem road trip. Jack, it's your turn.",
"Jack: No. [Laughs] no. No way.",
"Jen: Our era of regret ends right now. What's the fastest route to Boston?",
"[Scene: In Dawson's Backyard under one of the tents. Dawson and Joey are there alone.]",

"Joey: I was just thinking about the summer... How much there's gonna be to do, and... I mean, we didn't get a chance to spend last summer together, you and I. We're gonna have a lot to catch up on. There'll be water-skiing with your dad, and, um... Fourth of July on Waldeck island and... We can even go into Boston for the weekend. I mean... That would be fun.",

"Ethan: Uh...Jack... No.",
"Jack: Uh... I know there's people around, but who cares, right? I mean, that's the whole point. I finally have the courage to do this.",
"Ethan: Jack, this is brad.",
"Jack: As in your ex-boyfriend brad?",
"Ethan: Uh...No.",
"Brad: As in his boyfriend brad. I think I'm gonna let you two talk this one out. See you at practice.",
"Ethan: Ok. [Exhales] ha. Wow. Um...Ha. Ok. Explanation time.",
"Jack: No. No explanations necessary. It's very clear to me that I just inducted myself into the halls of the permanently pathetic.",
"Ethan: Please, jack, just listen. The timing just isn't there right now. And brad and I",
"Jack: yeah, I really don't want to hear about the details of your joyful union right now, ok?",
"Ethan: Sure, jack. I'm sorry. I really am.",
"[Scene: In Dawson's Backyard. Dawson is giving the Best Man speech. Joey is just watching him as Gale and Mitch are enjoying every word.]",
"Dawson: The first time my parents got married, they were very young. They were just out of college. And, um, I remember looking at the photo album as a kid, wondering why I wasn't in any of the pictures. It's hard when you love someone that much to imagine them having this entire life that you weren't even there for. And I have to say that, uh... Being here today, experiencing this firsthand, finally getting to be in all the pictures, I wouldn't trade this for anything. 'Cause I'd much rather be a part of what you guys have now than what you had then, that point where everything is forgiven. And I think that's what love really means... That you can forgive anything. So... To my parents... Who taught me that love does not conquer all... That love ends... And begins again.",
"Guests: Hear, hear. Cheers.",
"[Scene: On Dawson's Pier. Joey and Dawson are there alone.]",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Joey: Your speech was beautiful.",
"Dawson: Thanks.",
"Joey: What you said... Did you mean it, Dawson?",
"Dawson: Every word. Which is why you should turn around and go. To Pacey.",
"Joey: What?",
"Dawson: Last year, you had the opportunity to go to Paris and study, and because of me, you didn't.",
"Joey: Dawson, that wasn't your fault.",
"Dawson: Yes, it was my fault, Joey. I should have made you go. But I was selfish, and I didn't want you to go. I wanted you to stay here with me. And I refuse to make that mistake again.",
"Joey: Well, Dawson, I mean, what if it's my choice? What if I want to stay?",
"Dawson: Joey...Come on. Even I can see it. Pacey is this year's Paris. And this time... You have to go. You have to see for yourself, all right? I can stand here and tell you that it's a colossal mistake and that all roads lead back to me, but that's not gonna make any bit of difference. Words and speeches sound great, but... They don't add up to anything. All that matters right now is what you want.",
"Joey: I don't even know what I want, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Yes, you do. You want him. You want him like I want you. You love him like I love you. [Laughs] the only difference is he loves you back the same way. And you deserve that. Ok? And I'm not gonna be the one who stands in the way of you getting that. You're free. You can do whatever you want.",
"Joey: But, Dawson, I want us to still be friends, and I want to know that you don't hate me",
"Dawson: They're just words, Joey. They're just words. 'Cause after you're done dispensing your pleasantries here, you're gonna turn around and you're gonna walk away from me. Aren't you?",
"Joey: I have to, otherwise, I'll never know.",
"Dawson: Just go.",
"Joey: But, Dawson",
"Dawson: jo, go, I'm telling you, before I take it all back, all right? Just go! Go.",
"[Scene: Inside the McPhee Kitchen. Jack is cleaning up, when Jack comes into the house.]",

"Jack: I'm not really in the mood right now.",
"Mr. McPhee: Hey, what's the matter?",
"Jack: I just wanna be alone.",
"Mr. McPhee: Hey, hey, hey, you could talk to me.",
"Jack: This is something you really don't wanna hear about, believe me.",
"Mr. McPhee: You don't know that.",
"Jack: Really? You wanna hear that I found out that Ethan got back together with his ex? You want to hear that I found that out after I kissed him?",
"Mr. McPhee: Well, that's... Interesting.",
"Jack: Yeah, it's-- it's interesting, right? Come on, admit it. The thought of me kissing another guy disgusts you. I disgust you!",
"Mr. McPhee: That is not true.",
"Jack: Yes, it is!",
"Mr. McPhee: You're angry. You're hurting right now, but I will not let you pick an argument with me just so you can vent your frustration!",
"Jack: No, no. I spent an entire year developing this relationship... And working on it. Now it's a wash! The whole year's a wash! My whole life's a wash!",
"Mr. McPhee: Your life is not a wash! You hurt now because you had the guts to put yourself out there and go after what you wanted.",
"Jack: [Sobs] I can't. [Sniffles] I can't keep going through this. It's like having all the problems of a typical teenager, and there's this whole other level of constant fear... And pain. Do you know the anguish I went through over a kiss- one stupid little kiss? Most people don't have to do that!",
"Mr. McPhee: You're right. They don't.",
"Jack: Then why me? I don't want to be different. I didn't ask to be gay.",
"Mr. McPhee: No more than I asked for a gay son... But, boy, am I glad I got one.",
"Jack: You don't mean that.",
"Mr. McPhee: Yeah. I do.",
"[Scene: Inside Dawson's Bedroom. Dawson is near tears as he walks up to his room, to discover Andie, Jen and Jack sitting there waiting for him.]",
"Andie: Your official pick-me-up posse.",
"Jen: Yeah. Andie and I were chatting and thought that maybe you could use a little company. So then I take it upon myself to call jack attack here and tell him to hurry over.",
"Jack: And then I took it upon myself to run to the video store and grab some movies.",
"Dawson: Thanks, guys. I really appreciate you coming over, but I really think what I need right now is to just",
"Jen: Sorry, Dawson. No can do.",
"Andie: Yeah. I think that the words \"I wanna be alone right now\" are used far too often around here. Kinda ranks right up there with, uh... \"Can we talk?\"",
"Jack: And there's those countless references towards all things Freud and Spielberg.",
"Jen: Yeah. I'm pretty sure of it. We're not in Capeside anymore, Toto. There is some alternate reality where our intellects are sharper, our quips are wittier, and our hearts are repeatedly broken while faintly in the background, some soon to be out of date contempt pop music plays.",
"Dawson: So why does it hurt so much?",
"Jen: Because our pain makes us real, Dawson. But we can't do it alone. None of us can. Sit down.",
"Dawson: So...What'd you guys do today?",
"Andie: Oh, my god. You are not gonna believe these two. Well, it all started with Jen.",

"Joey: No. That's not why I'm here.",
"Pacey: So why are you here? You wanna say good-bye again? Maybe you wanted to rub it in a little bit, huh?",
"Joey: Look, I don't want to stop you, Pacey, and I don't want to stop Dawson, and I don't want to be stopped, not by either of you, not by anyone, see? I mean, that's what this whole year has been about. We've been trying to stop each other from moving on and from growing up, but...But not you. I mean, you're different, and... You've challenged me every step of the way and you've been there every step of the way.",
"Pacey: Jo, departure time is in t-minus 30 seconds, so if there's a point, I suggest you get to it.",
"Joey: I think I'm in love with you.",
"Pacey: You think or you know?",
"Joey: I know. I've known it since the moment you kissed me and maybe even before that. And--[exhales]-- scary as it is, I don't want to deny it any more, Pacey. I don't want to run from it, and I don't want to let it run from me.",
"Pacey: So... What are we gonna do here, jo?",
"Joey: I wanna come with you.",
"Pacey: Ha. What? You crazy?",

"Joey: [Chuckles] permission to come aboard?",
"Pacey: Permission granted. You can swim, can't you?",
"Joey: Of course. I'm just kinda worried about the next change of clothes.",

"Joey: Few days?",

"Pacey and Joey return from their summer vacation on \"True Love\". Now they have to deal with Dawson's feelings, who has been deeply hurt over the past few months. At first, he doesn't want to talk with either one of them, but Jen convinces him to talk to Joey. Meanwhile, Pacey's older sister, Gretchen, arrives in Capeside and moves in with Doug, making Pacey homeless. He refuses to live with his parents anymore (going so far as to declare that he would rather sleep on death row), and after exhausting all other options, ends up back on his boat. Dawson tells Jack about his childhood crush on Gretchen. Andie meets two French boys, and she is attracted to both of them. Joey apologizes for hurting Dawson, but he tells her he isn't sure if he wants their friendship back. Everybody is wondering if Pacey and Joey had sex while on their trip, but both refuse to discuss it. However, when Dawson asks the same question, Joey tells him the answer wouldn't kill him, confirming that she and Pacey have not yet slept together."

"Andie: Come on. One of us is single.",
"Jen: In theory. But in practice, Andie, let's face it. Your s*x life this summer has been an episode of abstinence in the city.",
"Andie: Well, is it my fault if this one-horse hamlet hasn't offered a suitable summer fling?",
"Jen: Oh, Andie, there are plenty of guys. Face it. You're just not bold enough to go up and talk to them.",
"Andie: And if you were in my shoes, you would.",
"Jen: Yes! I mean, come on, I think that my resume speaks for itself.",
"Andie: Fine. I'm gonna go talk to them. Ok. I am.",
"Jen: You go!",
"Andie: I am!",
"Jen: Well?",
"Andie: Well, I am just negotiating the proper approach.",
"Jen: Well, excuse me while I negotiate the proper approach to the snack bar. Scaredy-cat.",
"Andie: I am not.",
"Jen: Are so.",
"Andie: Am not!",
"Jen: Are so!",
"[Cuts to Pacey and Joey at the dock in Capeside unloading their stuff to head home]",
"Pacey: Boy. That's a little on the heavy side. Who's that one for?",
"Joey: Uh, my sister, I think. Is that everything?",
"Pacey: Yeah, for right now. I figured we'd just leave the rest on the boat and pick it up tomorrow.",
"Joey: Ok.",
"Pacey: Oh... Uh, before we leave, though, there is one other thing we should cover.",
"Joey: What's that?",
"Pacey: Well, they're gonna ask.",
"Joey: Who's gonna ask what?",
"Pacey: The masses. They're gonna ask what happened on the boat. This summer... Between you and I... You know... Sexually speaking.",
"Joey: No one cares, Pacey. Ok, maybe they care, but they're not gonna ask.",
"It's too crass.",
"Pacey: We live in a crass age.",
"Joey: Ok, so what are you gonna say?",
"Pacey: That really depends.",
"Joey: On?",
"Pacey: On what you're gonna say.",
"Joey: Well, I guess I'm going to say nothing because it's no one's business.",
"Pacey: That's good. \"Nothing\" sounds perfect.",
"Joey: Besides, they're not gonna ask.",
"Pacey: Oh, they'll ask.",
"[They reach the end of the dock and prepare to depart]",
"Pacey: Well... This is it. Last of our summer, and... I go left, you go right, and we spend the next whole 24 hours away from each other. If you're curious as to why I'm not currently in sadness, it's only because, to be perfectly honest, you were startin' to get on my nerves, Jo.",
"Joey: Oh. Good. Well, 'cause...You know, I... I'd hate to think that after all of our intimate talks, you were actually covering up your aching heart with false bravado.",
"Pacey: Well, put your mind at ease. Well, I guess I'll call you tomorrow, maybe?",
"Joey: Oh...If you think about it, sure.",
"Pacey: Ok.",
"[They begin to walk awa from each other then quickly turn back for an intimate kiss]",
"[Cut to Dawson in the hardware store looking at the paint rollers]",
"Gretchen: Excuse me. Do you know where the light bulbs are?",
"Dawson: Uh, usually up.",
"Gretchen: I meant which aisle.",
"Dawson: I'm sorry. I don't work here.",
"Gretchen: Lucky for management.",
"Dawson: Um...If it helps, I think they're on aisle 4-- Gretchen?",
"Gretchen: Dawson? Wow. Hi. How are you?",
"Dawson: I...I'M... Damp...At the moment.",
"Gretchen: And in the grander scheme of things? I sort of heard through the family about last spring. That. Uh",
"Dawson: ...I'm fine. I'm fine. And, uh, what about you? Still home from college for the summer?",
"Gretchen: A little bit longer than that. It's no biggie. I'm just, uh... Takin' time off.",
"Dawson: Ok. Well...At the risk of sounding trite, it's...It's nice to see you again.",
"Gretchen: At the risk of sounding redundant, it's nice to see you, too.",
"Damp and all.",
"[Both chuckle, Gretchen leaves and Jack approaches]",
"Jack: ok. I got the paint, you got the rollers. Who's the girl?",
"Dawson: Uh, what girl?",
"Jack: The...Girl you're gonna pretend to have no knowledge of until I annoy you with the question over and over again.",
"Dawson: That girl. Uh... Long story.",
"Jack: Good, 'cause we got the whole north side of Mrs.. Hancock's to paint.",
"[Cut to the B&B, Bessie and Joey are at the kitchen table talking]",
"Bessie: Joey: I can't believe you! I'm your sister. I'm entitled to know.",
"Joey: No. You're not.",
"Bessie: I'll rephrase. I'm your sister whom you ditched high and dry last June. I'm entitled to know.",
"Joey: Open your gift.",
"Bessie: A plant.",
"Joey: It's a Carolina jasmine. At night, if the wind hit right, we could smell them 2 miles out on the water.",
"Bessie: At night while you and Pacey were--",
"Joey: quit it. I haven't even unpacked yet.",
"[Joey picks up her back and heads to her room. She opens the door and shuts it real quick]",
"Bessie: Oh. Hey, Joey, wait.",
"Joey: Why is there an underwear-clad stranger in my bedroom?",
"Bessie: That's where he lives.",
"Joey: You rented out my room?",
"Bessie: Until Tuesday. Come over here. It's my turn to give you a gift. Our accounting book.",
"Joey: You're so kind.",
"Bessie: look at that number.",
"[The number in the book reads $17,240]",
"Joey: Bessie, I'm sorry. I didn't realize how difficult it would be.",
"Bessie: Joey, it has a plus next to it, not a minus. Welcome to one of the most successful bed-and-breakfasts in the state, Joey. We've doubled our rates, and we're still booked well through the fall.",
"Joey: Well, when I called, y-you never mentioned--",
"Bessie: I wanted it to be a surprise.",
"[Cuts to Andie talking to the two guys on the beach]",
"Andie: ..Hang out with my friends and help my brother with his numerous problems.",
"Jen: Hello.",
"Andie: Oh. Why, there you are, Jennifer. I was just chatting with the guys. I'd like you to meet jean and jean-jean.",
"Jen: Hmm. Hello...Jeans'.",
"Andie: They're French.",
"Jen: Get out of dodge.",
"Andie: And they're, uh, backpacking through the east coast for the summer.",
"Just stopped in Capeside yesterday.",
"Andie: Ohh! Tell me they are not adorable plus 10 times 10 to the 10th power.",
"Jen: Andie, they can hear you.",
"Andie: Doesn't matter. One of 'em barely speaks any English. The other one knows \"hello,\" \"good-bye,\" and the lyrics to an 'n sync song.",
"Jean: We would like very much for you to tour us the city.",
"Andie: We'd love to!",
"Jen: Um...Sorry, boys. I'm gonna have to catch up with you on the Riviera.",
"[Jen walks away]",
"Andie: Ok, Frenchies, let's go tour Capeside and any other terrain you're interested in covering.",
"[Cut to Pacey at Doug's apartment]",
"Pacey: It's a Florida snowman. Get it?",
"Doug: Notice my fits of laughter.",
"Pacey: So...Oh, yeah. How's my favorite couch been? You been keepin' it warm for me?",
"Doug: Well, you know, it's funny you should bring that up.",
"Pacey: Oh, come on, now. You're not gonna cast me out to the wolves, are you?",
"Doug: Ah, seems I have to. Somebody's already moved in. Sorry.",
"Pacey: Ah. You and Rupert finally decide to tie the knot?",
"Doug: I see 3 months on the water's done absolutely nothing to improve your sense of humor.",
"Pacey: Don't tell me this is a girl or something.",
"Doug: Well, yes. As a matter of fact, it is.",
"Pacey: Oh, well, that's just fantastic. Just as I need a place to sleep, you decide to get all hetero on me.",
"Doug: As much as I would love an end to your inaccurate comments regarding my sexuality, I assure you that this relationship is purely platonic.",
"Pacey: Good. Then I'm sure whoever miss mystery guest is couldn't possibly be as important as your baby bro, bro.",
"Doug: That's where you're wrong, 'cause she's equally important and...Equally related.",
"[Gretchen walks through the door, unaware Pacey is back]",
"Gretchen: Sorry I'm late, Doug. I stopped at the hardware store to get some light bulbs.",
"Pacey: Gretchen?",
"Gretchen: Ha ha! Welcome home loser. Come give your big sis a hug.",
"[Cuts to Joey walking up to Dawson's house. She slowly opens the front door and walks in. Nobody is home]",
"Joey: Hey. Hi. Hello? Hello. Mrs. Leery. Mr. Leery. Dawson?",
"[She heads up to Dawsons room. She looks around with a sad face. the room has changed drastically. All the movie posters are down and photographs of Jen, Andie and Jack are up]",
"[Jack and Dawson are painting the house]",
"Dawson: Gretchen was my first crush. I was, uh...10, 11, so she must've been, what, all of 13? I was spending the evening at the Witters' house, and Gretchen and 2 of her friends were out in the backyard. Pacey had the brilliant idea of water ballooning the whole lot of 'em. We went to work for about 2 hours, filling water balloons. By the time we'd gotten outside, Gretchen and her friends were already in their bathing suits.",
"They must've heard the plot through an open bathroom window. And, uh...Of course, Pacey decided to balloon 'em anyway. But I remember just...Staring. At Gretchen. Mm-hmm. You'd think I'd never seen a girl in a bathing suit before. It just... Hit me... Without warning, right then and there. And from then on, any money that would've formerly gone to... Baseball cards or action figures was now being spent on chocolates and $5.00 tulips that i would leave anonymously on Gretchen Witter's stoop. It wasn't till years later that I realized that my crush had been a running family joke.",
"Jack: Yeah, right. So what happened?",
"Dawson: Same thing that happens with all adolescent crushes. Absolutely nothing.",
"[Cut back to Pacey at Doug's apartment]",
"Pacey: I will simply not be replaced. It's too damaging to my fragile ego.",
"Gretchen: Oh, get over yourself.",
"Pacey: Why don't you get over yourself? Ok? Aren't you a college student or something?",
"Gretchen: It's called taking time off. Sure, it is.",
"Pacey: I'm the only other Witter that euphemism won't fool.",
"Gretchen: Mind your own business, little brother.",
"Pacey: Let go of my living quarters, and maybe I won't dig up whatever sordid mess that landed you in this remote corner of the world.",
"Doug: All right, all right. That's enough, you two. Now, Pacey, you currently have other living options. Gretchen does not.",
"Pacey: Thank you. Really. And what might those living options be, Dougie?",
"Doug: Well, for starters, there's your boat.",
"Pacey: Are you jokin'? I spent the last hundred days livin' on that thing.",
"Doug: Ok, fine. Kerry and the no-neck monsters are still at mom and dad's, but I believe there is a couch there. Am I wrong? Oh, no, you're not wrong. I'd just as soon take a cot on death row.",
"Gretchen: Hey, there's always the zoo.",
"Pacey: Down, Gretchzilla.",
"Doug: As usual, your level of maturity astounds. I know. Why don't you stay with Joey?",
"Pacey: What's that supposed to mean?",
"Doug: Well, you have a girlfriend now. I'm sure she'd be more than happy to set you up with a little bed... Or share hers.",
"Pacey: You know, honestly, I don't appreciate that suggestion or the tone that accompanies it.",
"Doug: You know, Gretchen's got a point. I mean, uh, if any place has extra rooms, it's a b&b.",
"Pacey: I'm not gonna impose upon that family.",
"Gretchen: Yeah. Why should you when you have your own to impose on?",
"Pacey: Ah, Gretchen. So good to have you home. Oh, no. Whoops. Silly me. I don't have a home anymore.",
"Gretchen: Hey, it pains me to see you this way. It really does. Pass the iced tea. Thanks.",
"[Cut to Jen's house. Joey and Jen are sitting at the kitchen table talking, Grams is at the sink doing dishes]",
"Jen: So football camp led to an unexpected scholarship at Hanover academy, and Henry and his parents decided that attending would double his college options, so next thing you know, I'm dating a guy who goes to boarding school 4 hours away.",
"Grams: They're doing what Jennifer terms \"the long distance thing.\"",
"Jen: Which, ironically, grams disapproves of.",
"Grams: Youth is a time to be spent in the now, not pining away for a solitary weekend every other month or so.",
"Jen: Isn't there a pair of knitting needles calling your name somewhere?",
"Grams: I suppose they are. Good-bye, Josephine. Nice to have you back safe and sound.",
"Jen: Ok. Enough me. You're the one fresh from the world excursion. So?",
"Joey: We had the time of our lives. I honestly wouldn't even know where to begin talking about it.",
"Jen: Well, I'll help you out. Cut to the sordid stuff.",
"Joey: Jen.",
"Jen: Come on, Jo. I wouldn't be human if I didn't want to know. You and Pacey, alone on a boat for 3 months. Everybody's gonna ask.",
"Joey: We're not talking about it.",
"Jen: With my experience with that particular yes-or-no question, \"no\" means \"no,\" and \"we're not talking about it\" means \"we did it.\"",
"Joey: You got me. We did it... All day, all night, 24-7. Are you aware that there are at least 38 known differing sexual positions? And 42 if you're flexible enough.",
"Jen: Ok, it's none of my business.",
"Joey: Jen, how is everyone else doing?",
"Jen: Good. Yeah, everybody's good.",
"Joey: I should probably be going. I promised Bessie I'd help with dinner.",
"Jen: What--what are you doin' tonight? You and Pacey just layin' low?",
"Joey: No, we're not doing anything. We're taking our first official night off from each other.",
"Jen: Well, we are going to the dive-in. Why don't you join us?",
"Joey: I don't know that that's such a good idea.",
"Jen: 8:00, stupmuck cove, and I'll tell everybody that you'll be there.",
"Joey: Bye.",
"[Cut to Andie giving the French guys tours of Capeside]",
"Andie: And on your right we have a very historic building where many historic events occurred. Sorry. Hope i'm not boring you with all the specifics.",
"Jean: Oh, no, no. You're beautiful when you speak.",
"Andie: Well, stop! Ha ha! Uh, no, I didn't really mean \"stop.\"",
"Jean: I am sorry. I don't understand.",
"Andie: Never mind. So, uh... he ever speak?",
"Jean: Eh, tu ne veux pas parler un petit--",
"Jean-Jean: non, je ne peux parler.",
"Jean: When he wants.",
"Andie: So...Anyway, uh, what's your town like?",
"Jean: I come from Paris. Have you been?",
"Andie: Oh...No, but i want to go desperately.",
"Jean: Why?",
"Andie: 'Cause it's the city of romance! It's...It's the city of love lost and found. It's degas and cezanne and monet and van gogh. I mean, even though i've never been there, it's like I know it better than my own home.",
"Jean-Jean: Elle connauT la ville si bien parce que c'est dans son coeur, non?",
"Andie: What'd he say?",
"Jean: He said you know it so well because it's in your heart.",
"Andie: Oh. [Chuckles]",
"[Cut to Dawson and Jen in Dawson's new dark room developing some pictures]",
"Dawson: So how'd she look?",
"Jen: Dawson.",
"Dawson: It's a question.",
"Jen: She looked great.",
"Dawson: Great. Great. You sure the light wasn't in your eyes? She didn't grow a hump or develop some hideous skin disorder or something?",
"Jen: Does this mean that you don't want to see her?",
"Dawson: Um...I didn't say that.",
"Jen: Good, because I invited her to come with us to the dive-in tonight.",
"Dawson: You... what? how very thoughtful of you.",
"Jen: Dawson, come on. You're gonna have to dispense with the awkward intros sooner or later, so why not--",
"Dawson: what happened to the natural progression of things? Hmm?",
"Jen: Joey naturally came over, and I naturally invited her. I don't know.",
"Dawson: So, is what's-his-name gonna be there?",
"Jen: Uh, no. No, they're takin' the night off. Which would make this the perfect opportunity for the two of you to have your inevitable Geneva conference where you decide to remain friends forever no matter what happens.",
"Dawson: Why are you so resolute about this?",
"Jen: I don't know. I guess it... Just in thinking back to the way everything went down last year, you know... How you found out and all, I--",
"Dawson: what, you feel responsible?",
"Jen: Yes, I do. Wouldn't you?",
"Dawson: Look, the only thing you're responsible for is helping me have arguably the best summer of my life.",
"[Dawson and Jen leave the dark room and walk into the living room. They find his parents making out on the couch]",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"Dawson: Ahem!",
"Mitch: Dawson.",
"Gayle: Jen.",
"Mitch: Dawson and Jen.",
"Dawson: Welcome to the Leery house where it's deja screw all over again.",
"Mitch: Well, uh, we were just, uh, goin' over the possible renovations for the home.",
"Gayle: You're dying on the vine, dear.",
"Jen: [Chuckling] later, Mrs.. Leery, Mr.. Leery.",
"[Jen leaves and Dawson stays downstairs. Mitch and Gayle go up the stairs]",
"Mitch: You, uh...Said you checked the rooms.",
"Gayle: I did.",
"Mitch: Mm-hmm. Well, you didn't check the darkroom.",
"Gayle: I didn't count the darkroom.",
"Mitch: From now on, the dark room counts.",
"[Cuts to Joey sitting on the end of her dock shucking corn. Pacey approaches]",
"Pacey: Guess who.",
"Joey: Mmm...Well, let's see... It can't possibly be my boyfriend. We're not supposed to see each other till tomorrow. He--he was growing sick of me.",
"Pacey: Yeah, that was before he found out he was homeless and needed to bum a couch for the night.",
"Joey: Hmm? Mmm. Try again. B&B's booked. I'm on the couch myself till Tuesday.",
"Pacey: Is it just me, or are you starting to get the distinct feeling that this town really didn't miss us all that much?",
"Joey: It's like the reverse of it's a wonderful life. Everyone's better off without us.",
"Pacey: Except for each other.",
"Pacey: So what do you want to do tonight? Want to grab some pizza, hang out on the boat? Or I was thinking maybe we could go catch a bad summer movie at the $1.50 theater. What do you say?",
"Joey: Well, uh... Actually, uh, Jen invited me to the dive-in.",
"Pacey: The dive-in. Everybody from school's gonna be at the dive-in. To be perfectly honest, I don't think I'm prepared for that quite yet. Were you gonna go without me?",
"Joey: We can just go together. I think it'd be fun... And...And healthy... You know, to see everyone.",
"Pacey: To see Dawson.",
"Joey: Yes...To see Dawson, which we've talked about, Pacey. And it's no secret that I'm anxious to get things squared away with him.",
"Pacey: No, it's no secret. And to be perfectly honest, look, I don't really care where we go or what we do as long as we do it together.",
"Joey: [Chuckles] thank you.",
"[Cuts to the beach at the Dive-In]",
"Andie: hey! You guys go on in. I'll be in in a second.",
"Jack: Ah. Looks like somebody found some new friends.",
"Dawson: Don't forget, Andie. It was the French who coined the term \"menage a trois.\"",
"Andie: MeNage a I-don't-think-so. Besides, I only like the one who speaks English. The other one just stands there looking like a dolt.",
"Jen: So do you know if he's single yet?",
"Andie: I'm working on it. Give me an hour.",
"Jack: Unbelievable.",
"[Andie walks off and Dawson looks over and sees Joey and Pacey walking up to them on the beach. Pacey and Joey are holding hands]",
"Dawson: I thought you said he wasn't gonna be here, Jen.",
"Jen: He wasn't, Dawson.",
"Dawson: So why is he here, Jen?",
"Jen: Good question, Dawson.",
"[Cuts to Pacey and Joey, they realize Dawson has seen them and is not happy. Joey releases Pacey's hand]",
"Joey: [Sighs] maybe this wasn't such a good idea.",
"Pacey: Well, it wasn't my idea in the first place.",
"Joey: Do you think that... Um...",
"Pacey: That maybe I should go and get us something to drink while you go and say hi? Sure.",
"Joey: I mean, I just think it'll be easier.",
"Pacey: Yeah. No problem. I'll be back in a couple minutes.",
"Joey: Ok.",
"[Pacey, not to happy, leaves Joey there. Cuts back to Jen, Dawson and Jack]",
"Jen: Ok. Where are you going?",
"Dawson: To get a better seat. I don't mind seeing her, but I'm not going to go out of my way to talk to her.",
"Jen: Can't you go out of my way to talk to her?",
"Jack: You work him.",
"Jen: You work her.",
"[Jen goes after Dawson and Jack heads to greet Joey]",
"Jack: You got it. Joey, hey!",
"Joey: Hey!",
"Jack: What's up? How are you?",
"Joey: I'm good. How are you?",
"Jack: I'm good. Come on in.",
"Joey: Thanks.",
"Jack: It's good to see you.",
"Joey: Good to see you. Oh, someone's been lifting this summer.",
"Jack: Ah, yeah. Well, what else is there to do in this town, right?",
"Joey: So, where'd everyone go?",
"[Cut to Pacey. Gretchen is on the beach and sees him. She walks over to him]",
"Pacey: Uh... You know, it's one thing to usurp the couch, but it's quite another to come back here and best my social standing.",
"Gretchen: Do you want to take a walk?",
"Pacey: Yeah.",
"Gretchen: Do you hate me for taking your spot?",
"Pacey: Spot? Try \"bed.\"",
"Gretchen: Hmm. You hate me.",
"Pacey: Marginally, yeah.",
"Gretchen: Well, retribution is yours. Doug wakes me up every morning at 7:00 dust-bustering the kitchen. It's like living with Felix Unger on crack.",
"Pacey: Well, you're hardly an innocent. Last we roomed together, you were known to blare rock music so loud small nations were kept up.",
"Gretchen: Not rock, Pacey. Soul. There's a difference.",
"Pacey: Yeah, there is a difference. Fans listen to rock music. Pretentious fans listen to soul music.",
"Gretchen: Is it possible you've actually grown more obnoxious over time?",
"Pacey: Well, it is the witter way.",
"Gretchen: Hmm. And somehow you still got the girl.",
"Pacey: Yes, I did. Who would've ever thunk me and Joey would end up together, huh?",
"Gretchen: Mmm...Me.",
"Pacey: You did not.",
"Gretchen: It didn't take Nostradamus to call it. I mean, look at your similarities. You're both classic underdogs. She's sassy and you're a legendary annoyance. She's beautiful and you're...Lucky.",
"Pacey: There is a compliment in there somewhere, right?",
"Gretchen: You're both lucky.",
"Pacey: Thank you. And what about you, Gretchen? Honestly. Why would you come back here?",
"Gretchen: I'm just, uh, taking a break. That's all.",
"Pacey: All right. Well, as they say in non-dysfunctional families, welcome home, Gretchen.",
"Gretchen: And, uh, speaking of home, I have a suggestion that I think you might find appealing.",
"Pacey: Yeah?",
"[Fades off Pacey and shows Jack and Joey sitting on a boat at the Dive-In. Jen and Dawson are off in the distance. Joey looks back at Dawson before talking to Jack]",
"Joey: Ask me a question.",
"Jack: I get it. It's the old, \"let's make small talk until he comes over,\" right?",
"Joey: Precisely. Just ask me a question.",
"Jack: Actually, I do have a question.",
"Joey: Not that question.",
"Jack: Come on!",
"Joey: Jack!",
"Jack: I won't tell anybody. I swear.",
"[Cuts to Dawson and Jen]",
"Jen: She's doing the official \"wait for Dawson to come over\" thing.",
"Dawson: It looks to me more like the official \"wait in vain for Dawson to come over\" thing.",
"Jen: One more joke like that and I am really going to know how hard this is for you.",
"Dawson: It's not hard.",
"Jen: Come on.",
"Dawson: It's not. It's not easy, but it's not hard.",
"Jen: Well, whatever it is, why don't you just go get it over with?",
"Dawson: I'll do it, but it's just a highly predictable moment. I'm going to walk over there, Joey and I are gonna engage in some semi-casual conversation until the awkwardness overwhelms us both, and then we're just gonna part... Each of us surprised at how surprisingly painless the whole encounter surprisingly was.",
"Jen: Well then, surprise me and go on over there.",
"Dawson: All right.",
"[Dawson approaches Joey]",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Joey: Hey.",
"Jack: Yeah. I'm gonna go find Jen.",
"Dawson: She's right over there.",
"Jack: Ok. Thanks.",
"Joey: So, how's it going?",
"Dawson: Uh, great. Great. It's going great.",
"Joey: How was your summer?",
"Dawson: Uh, it was brief but good. Yours?",
"Joey: Brief but good. You look great.",
"Dawson: Hey, you, too.",
"Joey: Thanks.",
"Dawson: You, too. Thanks.",
"Dawson and Joey at the same time: So, uh... School's Monday-- school's in-- yeah.",
"Joey: It's good to see you.",
"Dawson: It's good to see you, too.",
"[Dawson walks away. Joey has a sad look on her face. Dawson goes and leans against a wall. He doesn't look like it was easy]",
"Andie: Oh, uh, hold on a minute, guys. There's someone that I'm not quite ready to see yet. Uh... How do you say ex-boyfriend?",
"Jean: I understand.",
"Andie: So do you happen to be in a, um...",
"Jean: Her name is Nicole.",
"Andie: And I bet you're crazy about her, aren't you?",
"Jean: To borrow your words, she's monet, degas, ceézanne--",
"Andie: ok, I get the point. Of course he has a girlfriend. He's cute. He has an accent, and he tells me that I'm beautiful, so of course he has a girlfriend, right? I mean, you guys are all the same. It doesn't matter if you're French, American, English, German, Russian, French. What are you looking at?",
"Jean-Jean: A very rude girl.",
"Andie: Ok, you don't even know me, so-- uh... You don't speak English.",
"Jean-Jean: I have it on good authority that I do.",
"Andie: Ok, but you guys told me--",
"Jean-Jean: It was a joke. The name's J.J. Short for John-John, not jean-jean.",
"Andie: So that means that all day you--",
"Jean-Jean: understood every word you said.",
"Andie: Excusé Moi. I'm just gonna go drown myself.",
"[Cuts to Joey standing on the beach looking for Pacey]",
"Joey: There you are.",
"Pacey: And here we go.",
"Joey: What are you doing?",
"Pacey: Both of us a favor. Taking us home.",
"Joey: You don't even ask me if I want to go?",
"Pacey: Do I have to?",
"Joey: Maybe I'm having a fun time.",
"Pacey: If this is how you look when you're enjoying yourself, Jo, then you weren't having a very good time on the boat this summer, you never once looked like this.",
"Joey: And you never once behaved like this.",
"Pacey: And just how am I behaving?",
"Joey: I don't know yet. Currently I'm deciding between asinine, immature child and arrogant, infantile boyfriend.",
"Pacey: You know, I didn't want to come here in the first place.",
"Joey: Well, then, you shouldn't have come.",
"Pacey: Yeah. I guess you would have loved that, huh? Would have given you all the time in the world to square things away with Dawson. Those were your words, right? \"Square things away\"?",
"Joey: Pacey, dealing with Dawson is a reality for me. It's a reality for the both of us.",
"Pacey: The guy hates me, ok? I can't fix that.",
"Joey: Well, you could try.",
"Pacey: I don't want to!",
"Joey: I do, and I'm sorry if you have a problem with that!",
"Pacey: You're damn right I have a problem with that! You're not even unpacked yet and the first thing you think to do is--",
"Joey: look I can't help it if he's been on my mind, but it doesn't mean what you think it means.",
"Pacey: I don't know what it means. I don't care what it means. I've just watched you grow more and more preoccupied every day this week, and I'm tired of it. And it better stop.",
"Joey: You better watch who you're ordering around, Pacey. We're not on the boat and we haven't been for a day.",
"Pacey: Who are you kidding, Jo? Come on. You got off that boat long before the two of us did.",
"Joey: What is that supposed to mean?",
"Pacey: You're a smart girl, Jo. You can figure it out.",
"[Pacey walks off mad and leaves Joey standing there. Cuts to next scene. Joey is in the parking lot leaning against a car. Dawson sees her and approaches]",
"Dawson: Still here, huh?",
"Joey: Yeah. I was just thinking.",
"Dawson: A highly overrated activity, if you ask me. So, are you heading home?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Dawson: Do you need a ride?",
"Joey: I would like that, Dawson.",
"[Cut to Andie on the beach with the guys]",
"Jean: Andie, you were a wonderful host. If you come to Paris, you must look me up.",
"Andie: Ok. You have a deal, jean.",
"Jean: Excusem-moi.",
"Jean-Jean: That, um, goes for me, too, you know.",
"Andie: [Laughs] I can't believe after everything you heard me say that you'd still want to hang out with me.",
"Jean-Jean: Me either.",
"Andie: Ok, I think I liked you better before you spoke English.",
"Jean-Jean: There's a question in French. Y popular. The English translation, if I can remember correctly, goes something like this: Can I kiss you?",
"Andie: Oui.",
"[Cuts to Joey and Dawson getting out of the car at Joey's house. They walk up to the porch]",
"Joey: So, tell me about this newly acquired love of photography that seems to have sprung up in my absence.",
"Dawson: Uh, I picked it up over the summer. Didn't think I'd like it nearly as much as I have, but, you know, I guess that's the way it always is, huh?",
"Joey: What's that?",
"Dawson: You don't choose what you love, it chooses you.",
"Joey: Dawson, uh... I'm very sorry. I'm sorry for everything that happened last year and for doing what I had to do. I know how difficult it was and probably still must be.",
"Dawson: It wasn't easy... Thinking about the two of you together every day, every night.",
"Joey: You're actually the only person who hasn't dared ask the big question.",
"Dawson: I'm the only person the answer could potentially kill.",
"Joey: Wait here.",
"[Joey goes in the house and comes out with a box]",
"Joey: It's for you.",
"Dawson: Ok. Wow. It's my very own brick.",
"Joey: It's not just a brick. It's from Hemingway's home in the Keys.",
"Dawson: Ernest?",
"Joey: No. Frank. Of course Ernest.",
"Dawson: You know the guy shot himself, Jo.",
"Joey: Aside from that, I would like to offer it to you as a--",
"Dawson: please don't say \"symbol.\"",
"Joey: As an emblematic artifact representing the foundation of-- of a new friendship.",
"Dawson: I feel like I'm at the ribbon-cutting of a new strip mall.",
"Joey: Quit joking.",
"Dawson: Truth is, Joey... It's gonna take a hell of a lot more than symbols for us to get back what we had, and right now I'm not even sure that I want to. We're just gonna have to take it one day at a time.",
"Joey: I know. [Joey begins walking into the house and Dawson walks towards his car. Just as she is about to go inside...] Hey, Dawson. For what it's worth, the answer to that question everyone's been asking? It wouldn't kill you.",
"[Joey goes inside and gets the car keys. She drives out to the boat to talk to Pacey.]",
"Joey: [Clears throat] Well, I've decided something, and it is perhaps the singularly most important thing that I've realized in the last 45 minutes, so I must share it with you. This town has far too many stoplights for somebody who's not very good at driving stick. I stalled 7 times coming over here.",
"Pacey: Too bad it wasn't 8.",
"Joey: I stalled 7 times and 6 out of the 7 times, do you know what I thought about? You. It's this secret thing I do whenever I get really pissed off or confused or angry or sad. I--I think of you, and I immediately feel good inside. I guess it's kind of like taking a good mood pill or something. And I swore to myself that I would never tell you that I did this, because it is so girly and stupid, and I just told you because... I needed to score major points for not explaining what went down tonight or where I've been the last week when I haven't been on this boat.",
"Pacey: Keep going.",
"Joey: Pacey... I wanted to see Dawson tonight not because for 4 months of my life he was my boyfriend, but because for the better part of my life he was my friend. And as my friend, I hurt him deeply. Living with that fact has caused me no small amount of guilt over the past 3 months. So, yes, I have been preoccupied, and it has made my mind wander. But... My heart? That's a fixed point. 3 months riding the open waters couldn't shake it, and I'll be damned if I'll let your insecurities shake it. My heart never left this boat. It's never left you. As far as I can see, it's not going to any time soon.",
"Pacey: Ok, you got me. I do want to know one thing, though.",
"Joey: What's that?",
"Pacey: I want to know what exactly it was you thought of the seventh time you stalled.",
"Joey: That I was never going to drive stick again.",
"Pacey: How very practical.",
"[They share a long kiss]",
"Joey: Hey, pace?",
"Pacey: Hmm?",
"Joey: Do you think we could do that thing that we do sometimes?",
"Pacey: You wanna do that thing?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"[It cuts to the interior of the boat. They are each laying in their own hammock, setup bunk bed style. Pacey in the top one and Joey on the bottom one. They are reading a book to each other]",
"Joey: \"The little mermaid could not take her eyes from the ship or from the beautiful prince. The colored lanterns had been extinguished. No more rockets rose in the air and the cannon had ceased firing. But the sea became restless and a moaning, grumbling sound could be heard beneath the waves.\" [She hands the book to Pacey to read]",
"Pacey: \"After awhile, the sails were quickly unfurled, \"and the noble ship continued her passage, \"but soon the waves rose higher. \"Heavy clouds darkened the sky \"and lightning appeared in the distance. \"A dreadful storm approaching. \"Once more the sails were reefed \"and the great ship pursued her flying course over the raging sea. \"To the little mermaid, this appeared pleasant sport. Not so for the sailors.\""

"Joey is looking for a new job and gets one at the Yacht Club pretending to know a very influential family. She is tricked by her boss's son, Drue Valentine, who instantly sees through her lies. Mitch (now a guidance counselor at the school) tells Pacey he will not graduate unless he makes up for his bad grades from the previous academic year. Pacey doesn't want Joey to know, but Mitch tells Dawson, who tells Joey, showing that he still cares about Pacey. Pacey and Joey have a fight and Pacey admits he needs help."

"n this episode: Senior year begins and Pacey finds out that he failed three of his junior year classes. Jen gets dumped by Henry and worse yet, she gets the news from Jack. Pacey panics about his future and tries to hide his failure from Joey. Joey, meanwhile, is worried about how to pay for the ivy league college she hopes to get into, and gets busy wrangling a job at the town's yacht club. Pacey's big sister Gretchen comes back to Capeside and sets Pacey straight and brightens Dawson's day as well.",
"[Scene: Outside the school. Joey and Pacey are walking to school together hand in hand.]",
"Pacey: You know, they want to see me in the guidance office after school.",
"Joey: So?",
"Pacey: So, do they want to see you in the guidance office after school?",
"Joey: No.",
"Pacey: No. See, that right there is a bad sign. It means they're singling me out already.",
"Joey: Aw, don't worry, sweetie. They probably want to extend a hand and let you know that they're there to help you fulfill your destiny as the world's greatest gas station attendant.",
"Pacey: Oh, that's cute.",
"Joey: What, suddenly teasing's out of the question?",
"Pacey: Oh, no, tease away, you little hussy. But you do raise an interesting point. I think we should talk about it, now that we're back to school.",
"Joey: Talk about what, exactly?",
"Pacey: Well, uh, mutual wants and needs.",
"Joey: Did you actually just say that out loud?",
"Pacey: Like you said, we're a couple now, potter. And, as a couple, I think there's a couple things we need to discuss.",
"Joey: Such as?",
"Pacey: Kissing.",
"Joey: Maybe.",
"Pacey: Maybe?",
"Joey: Well, if it's of the spontaneous variety.",
"Pacey: Good lord, woman, you really are a fickle mistress, you know that? I mean, without kissing, what do we really have left?",
"Joey: Precious little. We should probably break up.",
"Pacey: Yeah, well, we had a good run, huh? Mm-hmm.",
"[She turns to him before going into their classes and plants a huge kiss on him. As the are kissing Dawson walks up from behind them to find them kissing in the doorway to his class.]",
"Dawson: Excuse me.",
"[Opening Credits]",
"[Scene: Sidewalk in town. Andie and Joey are walking together talking after school.]",
"Andie: Senior year, how cool is that? I mean, there's so much to look forward to.",
"Joey: Well, if I don't find a job soon, the only thing I have to look forward to is C.C.C. [Andie just looks at her]Capeside community college.",
"Andie: Oh. Hey, well, there's always C.Y.C.",
"Joey: What's that?",
"Andie: Capeside yacht club. My father was just telling me they're looking for a waitress.",
"Joey: You're high.",
"Andie: Ha! Joey, come on, it's the Ice House with cute rich boys and way bigger tips.",
"Joey: Yeah, and something tells me that the beautiful people would probably frown upon the applicant whose family name is synonymous with scandal.",
"Andie: So make like you're one of them.",
"Joey: Yeah, right.",
"Andie: Ok, here's what you do. If you think the interview's starting to go south, you drop a name.",
"Joey: Whose?",
"Andie: Hmm, well, I would say you could use mine, but, heh, these days McPhee is synonymous with gay, crazy, and dysfunctional. Hey, how about the Rosses? They're on the board. Charles, Kate, and son Owen. Oh, my god, he is so gorgeous, so our age, and so eligible. Oh, and so perfect for me if i actually cared about those things.",
"Joey: Ah, but you digress.",
"Andie: Ok, so, anyway, Joey, where else are you gonna make that kind of money?",
"Joey: Well, you know, there is always that strip club on the edge of town.",
"[Scene: Outside the Record Store. Dawson is walking up to it and is about to enter when Gretchen, who is reading some ads on a wall, sees him.]",
"Gretchen: Dawson Leery.",
"Dawson: Gretchen, hey, what are you doing?",
"Gretchen: Oh, scouting out some new digs.",
"Dawson: Mm-hmm.",
"Gretchen: Until my brother Douglas finds a suitable-- and I finger-quote \"partner\"-- he's best off living by his lonesome. So looks like I'm gonna be shacking up with my other equally irritating yet decidedly less a**l brother.",
"Dawson: That's great. Good luck with that.",
"[They enter the store]",
"Gretchen: Listen, this is, of course, none of my business, but I can't tell you how much it breaks my heart to see once inseparable best friends so estranged. If there's anything that I can do... Clearly something you'd rather not talk about. Sorry. My bad.",
"Dawson: Well, it's ok.",
"Gretchen: Oh, my god.",
"Dawson: What?",
"Gretchen: Dawson, this is the most offensive collection of music I've ever seen.",
"Dawson: Precisely. Which is why I'm trading them in.",
"Gretchen: Yeah, but, Dawson, Vanilla Ice? What were you thinking?",
"Dawson: I don't know. I was 10! Who has good taste in music when they're 10?",
"Gretchen: By the time I was 10, I could rattle off the name of every band on the sub-pop label, and I was telling anybody who would listen that a guy named Kurt Cobain was about to change the face of music as we knew it.",
"Dawson: And by the time I was 10, I could rattle off the name of every cinematographer Steven Spielberg ever worked with. Which somehow isn't that impressive, is it?",
"Gretchen: Ok, what else do we have here? Ok, the Grateful Dead. Now, why--why are you returning this?",
"Dawson: My parents got me that CD. I just... Wasn't a big fan.",
"Gretchen: Ok, ok. I can't believe I am standing in front of a teenage guy whose parents have better taste in music than he does. Shame on you, Dawson. Shame on you.",
"[She just puts her hands up and turns and leaves. He just watches her leave and giggles to himself.]",
"[Scene: Jen's Bedroom. Jen is on the laptop computer, when Jack enters her room.]",
"Jack: You gotta be kidding me. That's like the umpteenth time today you've checked your e-mail.",
"Jen: You lie.",
"Jack: Thank you. I don't know... Every time i went by the computer lab today, I saw the same bosomy blonde behind the same Blueberry IMac.",
"Jen: All right, all right. I admit it, you're right. Jack, I think it's clear that henry has forsaken me for another.",
"Jack: Give the poor guy some time to get acclimated.",
"Jen: I don't know, I mean, it's weird. It's--it's becoming a thing.",
"Jack: What do you mean, a thing?",
"Jen: A thing, an alarming trend. I mean, all summer long there were phone calls, e-mails, I.M.ing each other to the point of exhaustion, but now when I go online he's never there, and when I call he's strangely unavailable. I mean, I'm starting to feel like I did something wrong. Is it possible that I'm not a very good cybersex partner?",
"[Jen stands up an Jack goes over to the computer to check his mail.]",
"Jack: I'm sure you're a very generous and giving cyber-lover, Jen.",
"Computer: You've got mail!",
"[He looks at the message and a disturbed look crosses his face, but Jen can't see it because she is behind him on the other side of the room]",
"Jen: Who wrote you?",
"Jack: Um... No one.",
"[He closes the laptop.]",
"[Scene: The Capeside Yacht Club. Mrs. Valentine is interviewing Joey for the waitress position.]",
"Mrs. Valentine: Now, what exactly is an Ice House?",
"Joey: It's a restaurant. Um, well, it burned down last year.",
"Mrs. Valentine: Oh, how unfortunate. Sounds like a charming little joint.",
"Joey: Well, daddy, you know, he thought it was a good idea for me to get out there and mingle with the little people.",
"Mrs. Valentine: And what does daddy do, dear?",
"Joey: Pharmaceuticals. Daddy made his fortune in the pharmaceutical world.",
"Mrs. Valentine: Oh, well, then, why is it, I wonder, that I don't see the potter name on our roster?",
"Joey: I guess we're just not much of the joining kind.",
"Mrs. Valentine: Where do you summer, then?",
"Joey: I spent my summer sailing, actually.",
"Mrs. Valentine: Oh, well, that sounds lovely. I have to ask. Were you a deck hand or a stowaway?",
"Joey: Excuse me, but, um, before I submit to another second of your thinly veiled bitchery, do you need a waitress or not?",
"Mrs. Valentine: Hmm. Yes, now that I recall, that position's already been filled.",
"Joey: Terrific. Oh, by the way, I'll be sure to tell the Rosses that you said hello.",
"Mrs. Valentine: Excuse me. You know the Rosses?",
"Joey: Charlie, Kate, and Owen? Oh, from way back. How do you think I heard about this position? They're on the board here, aren't they?",
"Mrs. Valentine: Oh, Miss Potter, I think perhaps... You and I got off on the wrong foot. Please.",
"[Scene: School Guidance Office. Pacey walks in to see Mitch in there going through some of the files.]",
"Pacey: Hey there, Mitch...Mister Leery. What are you doing here?",
"Mitch: Just, uh, filling in until they find a new guidance counselor.",
"Pacey: What'd they do with the old guidance counselor?",
"Mitch: Right. You mean the one who referred to you fondly as, and I quote, \"one of the most aggressively mediocre students ever to galumph his way through the halls at Capeside high.\" Poor man was heard muttering your name as he stumbled off into early retirement.",
"Pacey: Poor guy. So, why does this bring me here?",
"Mitch: Ok, so, here's the deal. They have dumped some of the special scheduling cases into my lap.",
"Pacey: What's so special about me? Apart from the obvious, of course.",
"Mitch: Well, for starters, you seem to lack a certain amount of classification at the moment. And you seem to lack a certain amount of clarity at the moment. What happened to you this summer?",
"Pacey: Nothing. I went sailing.",
"Mitch: Right. But, um, well, from the look of things, you should have been somewhere else.",
"Pacey: And where is that exactly?",
"Mitch: Right here.",
"Pacey: Here?",
"Mitch: You should have been in summer school, Pacey.",
"Pacey: That sounds like a terrible way to spend the summer.",
"Mitch: Tell me something. Before you took off, did you happen to, oh, look at your report card?",
"Pacey: I took off a couple of days after school let out.",
"Mitch: Well, you know, had you looked, you might have noticed that you flunked Science, History, and English. 3 biggies, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Well, that sucks.",
"Mitch: Look, Pacey, I don't, uh, really know how to do this, exactly. I've had the distinct pleasure of watching you grow up. You certainly are one of the most endearing pests I've ever met. But I'm not your teacher, ok? I'm not your guidance counselor. I'm just a friend. So, help me out here, ok? I mean, cut the glibness and just listen to me for a second? You're in deep trouble here.",
"Pacey: So what can I do about it?",
"Mitch: You can take these classes over.",
"Pacey: When?",
"Mitch: Every day, after school.",
"Pacey: Well, I was gonna get a job. I kind of need the money, you know?",
"Mitch: No, I don't think you're understanding me, Pacey. You're gonna have to work your ass off this year.",
"Pacey: And what if I can't do it?",
"Mitch: No, you can. You just focus.",
"Pacey: But what if I actually can't?",
"Mitch: Well, then, come this may, you're gonna watch your friends graduate without you, start their lives without you. They'll be heading off for higher education, and you'll be gearing up for another year at Capeside high. How's that sound, Pacey?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: An old beach house. Gretchen is taking Pacey on a tour of the place.]",
"Gretchen: What do you think?",
"Pacey: I think I hate it.",
"Gretchen: Well, I think it's charming.",
"Pacey: Charming? It's like something out of better homes & crap.",
"Gretchen: Ok, you see crap, I see potential.",
"Pacey: Well, no, I see potential, too. I see the potential for rats to gnaw at our extremities while we sleep.",
"Gretchen: It needs but a fresh coat of paint and a woman's touch.",
"Pacey: Mm-hmm. And all we need to do is get the word out that the local crack den has shut down.",
"Gretchen: Why are you being such a naysayer?",
"Pacey: Because it becomes me.",
"Gretchen: Ok, face facts, Pacey. We don't have a lot of money. So that killer condo that you had your eye on is pretty much out of the question. But this place, while lacking in many creature comforts, is totally within our budgetary limitations. And you know what that means?",
"Pacey: Well, I'm guessing it means we get to split the utilities with the cockroaches.",
"Gretchen: No. It means we are going to turn this place into a home, Pacey. I promise.",
"Pacey: Yeah, and until then, we just have to get used to brushing our teeth with brown water.",
"Gretchen: Ok, you seem to have a particularly nasty case of \"first day at school.\" Does senior status not bring you any joy whatsoever?",
"Pacey: You know, it's funny you should mention that, 'cause it turns out, I'm not exactly a senior.",
"Gretchen: Oh, yeah? Then what exactly are you?",
"Pacey: Well, I'm screwed. I'm totally screwed.",
"Gretchen: Ok, elaborate.",
"Pacey: Well... It seems as though I managed to fail 3 classes last year. Yeah. 3. You know, so now I gotta retake those 3 classes and pass all of this year's classes if I wanna have any hope of graduating.",
"Gretchen: Ok. Um... Ok, so you do it. You know, y-you work really hard this year, and you do it. It's not that big of a deal. What does Joey think? You haven't told her? Why?",
"Pacey: Because Joey is smart, but Pacey is an idiot, and I'm trying not to make her any more aware of that fact than she already is.",
"Gretchen: You are not an idiot, Pacey. And something tells me that Joey's feelings for you are not contingent on your GPA. Listen, I can stand here and tell you that everything's gonna be ok, but it's gonna sound a lot better coming from her. So tell her, ok?",
"[Scene: Capeside Yacht Club. Joey is working very busily hoping from one table to another]",
"Joey: [Clatter] Excuse me.",
"Man: Excuse me? [She goes by one table and the man stops her.]",
"Joey: May I help you?",
"Man: That's up for debate actually.",
"Joey: Well, as you can see I don't really have a lot of time for verbal Ping-Pong.",
"Man: Half an hour ago, I dropped down on one knee and begged you for an iced tea and a club sandwich.",
"Joey: You're right. I am so sorry.",
"Man: Don't worry about it, I know how it is.",
"Joey: Well, I doubt that.",
"Man: Let me guess. The boyfriend bailed when the stick turned blue, leaving his rusted-out Camaro up on blocks on your lawn, forcing you to drop out of school and rely on your not-so-reliable alkie mom to watch the little carpet monkey while you wait tables on your high horse. None of which is my problem, hon. This is seriously going to cut into your gratuity. [Laughs] Oh, come on! Where's your sense of humor? I was kidding. Well, not kidding actually. More like, uh, conducting an experiment. My father, who is a world-class cretin, says stuff like that to the help all the time. And I always think, \"what an idiot!\" You know? I mean, they're just gonna go back in the kitchen and spit in his food. Or worse even.",
"Joey: Fancy that. Would you excuse me while I go check on your order?",
"Man: You would, wouldn't you?",
"Joey: Would what?",
"Man: Spit in my food.",
"Joey: Or worse even.",
"Man: [Chuckles] I knew it! You strike me as very much in touch with your dark side. Thank you for your candor.",
"Joey: Oh, my pleasure.",
"Man: First day on the job, huh?",
"Joey: Yes.",
"Man: And, uh, how much do you hate them already?",
"Joey: Who?",
"Man: The superficial snobs laying down huge sums for the privilege of frolicking in the presence of other members of their tribe. Creeps.",
"Joey: Wow. Cue the violins. You know, nothing tugs the heartstrings like the anguished cry of a poor little rich boy. Would you sign, please?",
"Man: Sure. [Signs the slip Owen Ross] Something wrong?",
"Joey: Your order will be right up.",
"[Scene: Dawson's Room. Dawson is sitting on his bed listening to a CD when his father comes into the room]",
"[Music playing]",
"Dawson: Hey.",
"Mitch: Do I detect something vaguely of my generation?",
"Dawson: Yeah. I've been giving that grateful dead album you and mom gave me a second chance. I don't get it. I still don't have the slightest inclination to drop acid or start using hemp products or incorporate anything remotely tie-dyed into my wardrobe.",
"Mitch: Well, Dawson... The Dead were a phenomenon to be experienced live. Thousands of nomadic fans, the endless jams... That's never gonna come through those headphones.",
"Dawson: Do you ever just get the feeling that you and mom are maybe a little cooler than I am?",
"Mitch: It's a burden, but we cope.",
"Dawson: [Chuckles] good to know.",
"Mitch: I saw Pacey at school today.",
"Dawson: Oh, yeah? Me, too.",
"Mitch: I had to sit down with him about his schedule this year.",
"Dawson: Uh-huh.",
"Mitch: He's in trouble, Dawson.",
"Dawson: And that concerns me how?",
"Mitch: Well, look, I know that Pacey isn't your favorite person right now, but trust me, you're not always going to feel like that.",
"Dawson: I don't know, dad. I can maybe see this one standing the test of time.",
"Mitch: Hear me out. Pacey has gotten himself in some real academic trouble. Without the support of his friends, he might not graduate high school.",
"Dawson: Well, what do you expect me to do about it?",
"Mitch: I don't know. But I've always taken pride in the fact that my son is someone his friends can turn to when they need him.",
"Dawson: Ok, dad, I... I realize this might seem a little hyper dramatic from the cool, calm perspective of an adult, but this is my world, ok? My life. My quote-unquote best friend pursued a relationship with a girl that I've loved in one way or another for as long as I can remember. And that hurts so much that sometimes I can't sit still. Now, I think I've done a pretty good job of trying to move forward, but that doesn't mean that Pacey gets to go on reaping the benefits of my friendship. All right? He's on his own. I can't help him.",
"Mitch: Well, maybe you know someone who can.",
"[Scene: Andie's Bedroom. Andie and Jack enter carrying some clothes. They put down the clothes and begin folding them.]",
"Andie: You're kidding me. He wants to break up with her?",
"Jack: Well, he said he wants to take a break.",
"Andie: After all that? After doggedly pursuing her for an entire school year, after scores of grand romantic gestures, after behavior that clearly licensed professionals would call stalking, he wants to take a break?",
"Jack: Yeah, well, look. He's at a new school, girls are flirting with him, and he's confused. Henry's a great guy but, you know, he's 16.",
"Andie: Guys are maddening creatures.",
"Jack: Heh! Tell me about it.",
"Andie: So what did you tell him?",
"Jack: I said I'd talk to her.",
"Andie: Hmm, no. Jack, I don't think that's a good idea. In fact, it borders on the terrible.",
"Jack: Why?",
"Andie: Because whatever is between Jen and Henry is firmly and clearly between Jen and Henry. And besides, if a guy was gonna break up with me--god! I would hope that he would be big enough to do it on his own instead of sending an intermediary in.",
"[Scene: The deck of the True Love. Joey and Pacey are sitting on the deck of the True Love, as it is in moorings, and eating a pizza.]",
"Joey: So glad we could make reservations. You know, personally I find the food leaves a little something to be desired, but...Gotta love the atmosphere. [Song playing on radio] So, how was your day, honey?",
"Pacey: Oh, it was just swell.",
"Joey: I think you're just a little grumpy because we're not in the middle of the Atlantic anymore.",
"Pacey: Hey, look, I could have this baby packed up and ready to go in about 15 minutes. You just gotta give me the word. I guarantee all this school stuff will still be here when we get back. Root beer?",
"Joey: No Thanks. Our summer at sea was an exceptionally lovely then, but this is now. It's our senior year. Do you have any idea what that means?",
"Pacey: Well, if I had a car I guess I could park it in the senior lot. That'd be pretty cool.",
"Joey: Read my lips, Pace. One more year. Then no more classes, no more books",
"Pacey: No more Dawson's dirty looks?",
"Joey: Ahem. So what was that whole guidance counselor office thing about anyway?",
"Pacey: You know what? Can we just for tonight pretend like we're one of those couples that can consume a meal in blissfully dysfunctional silence?",
"Joey: Ok. [Pacey hands her some cheese] Thanks. Well, do you wanna hear about my new job?",
"Pacey: [Mouth full] What new job?",
"Joey: You're looking at Capeside yacht club's newest serving wench.",
"Pacey: Congratulations.",
"Joey: Don't sound too excited for me there, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Well, I didn't know you were so fixated on getting a job.",
"Joey: Well, yeah. I mean, you of all people should know how badly i need to make the extra money. I mean, without it, I'm doomed to roam the streets of Capeside for eternity, which is unacceptable. You know, I'm-- I'm not ending up some townie.",
"Pacey: [Chuckles] When did you become a snob, Ms. Potter?",
"Joey: What are you talking about?",
"Pacey: Well, what's wrong with being a townie?",
"Joey: Well, nothing",
"Pacey: No, honestly. If someone lives in the same place their whole life, that somehow makes them a bad person?",
"Joey: No of course not",

"Joey: You're not that kind of a person.",

"Joey: What's going on with you?",
"Pacey: Nothing.",
"Joey: So why are you trying to pick a fight with me all of a sudden?",
"Pacey: I'm not trying to pick a fight with you.",
"Joey: Yes, you are. I mean, something is going on with you, and you obviously don't want to talk about it, which is fine, ok? I understand that. But, I mean, please don't sit here and-- and try to pick some random fight with me just to make yourself feel better.",

"Joey: Can I get you anything else?",
"Owen: Ok, weird girl, what gives?",
"Joey: What do you mean?",
"Owen: First of all, you haven't let my iced tea get past the halfway mark all afternoon, second, you've been smiling and hovering like some kind of mental patient, and worst of all, you totally dropped that whole snappy sarcasm thing you had working for you yesterday.",
"Joey: I'm just trying to do my job.",
"Owen: Yeah, well, at least yesterday you were entertaining. Today, you're just creeping me out. Hey, sit down for a second.",
"Joey: Why?",
"Owen: I want you to see something.",
"Joey: What am I looking at?",
"Owen: Ok, what do you see? [Points at a group of people.]",
"Joey: A guy in a polo shirt trading stock tips with Mr. and Mrs. Dull. Normal?",
"Owen: Pretty boring, huh?",
"Joey: Sure.",
"Owen: What if I told you that polo shirt guy has thrice weekly motel room meetings with Mrs. Dull Normal?",
"Joey: Really?",
"Owen: Mm-hmm.",
"Joey: Does Mr. Dull Normal know?",
"Owen: Of course not. He's too busy acting out his own mid-life crisis with the poor man's Pamela Anderson over there. [Points at a rather well endowed woman]",
"Joey: Are those real?",
"Owen: Hardly. Her silicon valley is the work of that gentleman over yonder, Capeside's own Dr. Liposuction, who is a creep of the highest degree. And that one? She is the worst of them all. Once upon a time, she was married to one of the beautiful people, this, uh, New York city rainmaker who-- well, as these things tend to go-- eventually traded her in for a younger model. Divorce followed quickly thereafter, which came as a real nasty shock to the system, because the poor gal got nice and used to the money. So, she packed up the kid and got herself a job where she could be around the fortune 500 set all day long. And now she's the next best thing... Rich by association.",
"Joey: Wow. No wonder she's such a bitch. How do you know all this stuff?",
"Owen: Hang around this place long enough, you absorb a lot of useless information. It's so funny. These people... All the money in the world and not an ounce of class.",

"Jack: I don't know. Sit and talk to me.",
"Jen: Here?!",
"Jack: Yeah, why not?",
"Jen: [Chuckles] It's just-- it's kinda romantic, don't you think? Jack, are you thinking about a crossover episode? Because if so, now's bad timing. I's a taken woman.",
"Jack: Any word from Henry?",
"Jen: No. No, but, you know, I was thinking about what you said the other day, and you're right. I'm just gonna give him some time, let him settle in, then we'll talk and things will be fine.",
"Jack: Yeah. You know, let me ask you something. W-what if, uh, what if things went the other way?",
"Jen: What other way?",
"Jack: You know, what if you guys talked and things weren't fine?",
"Jen: And why would that be?",
"Jack: Well, I'm just saying, you know, have you thought about the possibility of things not working out?",
"Jen: Where's this stuff coming from?",
"Jack: Heh! No where. Forget it. I'm sorry, forget it. Tell you what, let's get some dinner. All right? Come on.",
"Jen: Jack? Have you talked to henry?",
"Jack: Yes.",
"Jen: [Clears throat] All right, what the hell's going on?",
"Jack: Look, I'm just worried about you, Jen.",

"Dawson: No. No, I--I was going through my, uh, CD collection, trying to weed out some of the more embarrassing reminders of my callow youth, and I came across your counting crows collection.",
"Joey: Dawson, you borrowed those, like, 3 years ago.",
"Dawson: Yeah, I know. I apologize for my appalling lack of etiquette. Uh, um? Uh...No. I, uh... So I should go.",

"Dawson: Because it's none of my business.",
"Joey: What is it?",
"Dawson: Pacey.",
"Joey: Ok, you're gonna have to start making some sense here, Dawson.",
"Dawson: [Sighs] you know, just-- just talk to Pacey, ok?",
"Joey: About?",
"Dawson: About school. He's in trouble.",
"Joey: What are you talking about?",
"Dawson: Well, he didn't show up for school today. And if he's not careful, he's gonna flunk out. I can't for the life of me figure out why I should even care about this, but... I'm here, and if there's anyone who can help him out it's you, so",
"Joey: Well, no offense, Dawson, but if Pacey was in such dire straits, don't you think I would know about it?",
"Dawson: No, I don't.",
"Joey: Why?",
"Dawson: Don't you get it, Jo? When you love someone, you want her to be proud of you, you want her to think there's nothing in the world that you're incapable of. And the thought of disappointing her is-- it's crippling. Good night.",
"[Scene: The Beach house Porch. Pacey is outside when Gretchen walks Joey out to join him.]",
"Gretchen: There he is. Try not to bruise him.",
"Pacey: Hey, there's my girl.",
"Joey: Why weren't you in school today? Why are you suddenly in danger of flunking out? Why do I have to hear about it from Dawson? Why does Dawson know more about your life right now than I do, Pacey?",
"Pacey: Well, because apparently Leery senior has a very big mouth. And, oh, how I bet junior loved being on the receiving end of that news.",
"Joey: Can we just stick to the point, please?",
"Pacey: No, honestly, I'm sure he loved hearing that, you know? Now he's salivating. The guy gets to swoop in on his soul mate with a big fat \"I told you so.\"",
"Joey: Are you delusional? Dawson has zero to do with this, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Yeah, sure.",
"Joey: Do you have any idea how insulting it is to know that I come up last on your list of people to contact in case of an emergency?",
"Pacey: Jo, this is not that big a deal, you know? I'm handling it.",
"Joey: And how does cutting school translate into \"handling it,\" Pacey? Why does this even surprise me?",
"Pacey: What exactly is that supposed to mean?",
"Joey: Exactly what I said. This is how you deal with everything. You run away. You take the easy way out every time.",
"Pacey: Well, I guess that's why I'm such a loser.",
"Joey: You know, you're not a loser, Pacey. I didn't spend my summer with a loser, you know, building what I thought was an incredible foundation for a relationship. I thought that we were a great team. It turns out I guess I couldn't have been more wrong.",

"Gretchen: Pacey, this girl is a keeper, and I cannot in good conscience allow you to blow it because you're scared.",
"Pacey: What are you talking about? I'm not scared!",
"Gretchen: Like a little girl.",
"Pacey: Oh, what do you know?",
"Gretchen: And if you're not careful, you are gonna sabotage this relationship before it has a chance to become something.",
"Pacey: I'm gonna sabotage it, huh? Hmm. Methinks you've been watching a little too much Oprah.",
"Gretchen: I am serious, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Well, what do you expect? You know, I've had to listen in stereo all my life to my brother and my father telling me how stupid I am. How can I help not feeling like a moron sometimes?",
"Gretchen: You're right, they're jerks. Both of them, you know. But get over it already. I mean, dad and Doug have so many problems between them you should just throw them a huge pity party. And they're not your problem.",
"Pacey: Oh, please tell me, great oracle of Capeside, who is?",
"Gretchen: Your problem is Dawson. Don't tell me you don't hear him. You know, whispering in your ear, telling you that you're not good enough. But he's just a ghost, Pace. She picked you, and now you have to deal with it.",
"[Scene: The Capeside Yacht Club. Joey enters the room as Mrs. Valentine is going through some receipts]",
"Joey: You wanted to see me?",
"Mrs. Valentine: Have a seat, Ms. Potter. I was going over yesterday's receipts, and I noticed that a couple of them were signed by Owen Ross.",
"Joey: Right.",
"Mrs. Valentine: Thought you said you were a good friend of the family?",
"Joey: I am.",
"Mrs. Valentine: Well, if you're such a good friend, wouldn't you know he and his family are in Paris until after the first of the year?",
"Joey: But that doesn't make any sense.",
"Mrs. Valentine: No, it doesn't.",
"Joey: Mrs. Valentine, he was here. I served him. He was very rude.",
"Mrs. Valentine: Yeah. I'm not sure this is going to work out, Ms. Potter.",
"[Owen Enters]",
"Drue: Actually, mom, the Ross kid was here.",
"Mrs. Valentine: Drue, honey, I'm right in the middle of something here.",
"Drue: Gotcha, moms, but, uh, maybe you didn't hear what I said. Owen Ross... He, uh, was here. Saw him, own 2 eyes. And I saw Joey here waiting on him, and I think you might want to commend her for the way she handled him because that guy, he can be real high maintenance.",
"[Scene: Outside on the docks. Drue is cleaning a boat as Joey comes up to him, she is angry.]",
"Joey: What just happened in there?",
"Drue: Hey, could you watch your tone, please? I think I just saved your job.",
"Joey: Who the hell are you?",
"Drue: Drue. Drue Valentine.",
"Joey: Mrs. Valentine... That's your mom?",
"Drue: Hey, you pick up quick.",
"Joey: But you said all that horrible stuff about her.",
"Drue: Which doesn't make it any less true.",
"Joey: You lied to me.",
"Drue: Correction. I was playing with you.",
"Joey: Why?",
"Drue: It was fun. My mom told me about the new girl, the one who was a friend of the Rosses. I took one look at you and knew that you lied your way into the job. Which I totally dig about you, by the way.",
"Joey: [Sighs] you're a freak.",
"Drue: Ok, all right, so I'm not who I said I was. Big deal. I'm actually a lot more fun.",
"[Scene: The Dawson Pier. Jen and Dawson are on the end of it talking to each other. Dawson is trying to console Jen.]",
"Dawson: It's ok to be hurt, Jen.",
"Jen: I'm not hurt, Dawson. It's just that only real boyfriend that I ever had enlisted the help of my best friend to dump me, and... You know, I'm-- and I'm just angry.",
"Dawson: Take it from somebody who spent the better part of last spring angry at the world. [Sighs] It's not worth it. I mean, it might numb the pain a little bit, but it's basically just a distraction. [Exhales deeply] I don't know. Point is, if you do it right, Jen, loving someone's gonna hurt. And the sooner you let yourself feel that, the sooner you'll be able to love again.",
"Jen: Dawson, I really don't need one of your sappy self-help seminars right now.",
"Dawson: Just trying to repay a favor. Oh, what? You've been sage to my simpleton more times than I care to count.",
"Jen: God, why didn't just you throw me into oncoming traffic?",
"Dawson: You know, because you helped me through the worst of times. I've really learned a lot from you, Jen.",
"Jen: Really? Like how to downward spiral your way into adulthood?",
"Dawson: [Laughing] No! No, you didn't. You're the one who taught me that love can suck. Things change, passions fade, partners come and go. But that through it all, one thing remains sacred, and that's friendship. And it's true because... I mean... God, without you guys this summer, this would have been a huge black hole of depression for me.",
"Jen: Do you have to be so damned earnest? It's disgusting really. I mean, it makes me wanna drown you in the creek.",
"Dawson: Oh, it's part of my charm. Funny thing about friends. Sometimes they bring you the worst of news, but it's always with the best of intentions.",
"[As they walk off the pier, Jack comes up to join them.]",
"Dawson: Jack.",
"Jack: Hey.",
"Dawson: Thank god. Take her off my hands for a while?",
"Jack: Sure.",
"Dawson: I'll see you around.",
"[He leave them alone.]",
"Jack: Hey.",
"Jen: [Laughs] All right, I--I think I owe you a fairly huge apology.",
"Jack: Ok, that was supposed to be my line.",
"Jen: You're sorry, I'm sorry, somebody's always sorry. I mean, relationships are just one big sorry after another, culminating in a big final messy sorry.",
"Jack: Sounds like someone's drowning herself in an economy-sized vat of self-pity.",
"Jen: Come on, Jack. Aren't the recently dumped allowed to wallow just a bit?",
"Jack: I'm really sorry, Jen.",
"Jen: Me, too. I'm... Sorry for killing the messenger. I just didn't need you to be the one to give me the bad news. I needed you to be my shoulder.",
"Jack: Come here. Better late than never?",
"[Scene: The docks. Joey is sitting on a box when Pacey comes up to join her.]",
"Pacey: Hey, there's my girl. You're not liking me so much right now, are you?",
"Joey: Not so much, no.",
"Pacey: So, you know, I'm talking to my sister, and she says to me, \"that's actually not such a bad idea to discuss your problems with your girlfriend.\"",
"Joey: Nice to know someone in the Witter family can boast a brain cell or two.",
"Pacey: You're not gonna make this easy on me, are you? Ok. So where do I start?",
"Joey: Wherever you want.",
"Pacey: Well, I should probably just start first by saying that you, Josephine potter, have just wrecked me. In the best possible way, you have absolutely wrecked me. Because, you see, I fell in love with you knowing that there was never any possibility of being with you, knowing full well that a sizeable chunk of your heart would... Always be wrapped up in our friend Dawson. And that much was actually ok with me, right up until the point that you chose me. [Sighs] 'cause then you just turned everything on its head. Then I got everything that I wanted, and from that day forward I've just been a wreck.",
"Joey: Why?",
"Pacey: Because... Now all I can do is just wait for the other shoe to drop. You know, just wait for you to realize what a big mistake you've made. Wait for you to realize that I'm just gonna be a big disappointment. And just wait for you to realize that-- that Dawson is the guy that you want to be with.",
"Joey: Pacey, what does Dawson have to do with you screwing up at school?",
"Pacey: Well, nothing and everything. Dawson leery would... Never have screwed up like I did, Jo. It just wouldn't have happened.",
"Joey: You know that. You're right. Do you know what else Dawson would never do? He would never inspire me to run away with him for the summer. It just wouldn't happen, and you know that. We had a magic summer, Pacey. I mean, we shared something that I'm gonna remember for the rest of my life. I mean, don't you see? We're creating our own history here. A history that has nothing to do with Dawson.",
"Pacey: That's a nice way of looking at it.",
"Joey: Yeah. But, you know, this is-- this is where it gets rough. What do you mean? We spent 3 months on the sea, but... We didn't even come close to weathering the storm. We ran away. We made our own reality and... It was so wonderful-- but it couldn't last forever. Nor should it. Heh. Pacey, a relationship isn't about a romantic 3-month cruise. It's gonna be the details that define us. You know, like... The moments.",
"Pacey: Ok. Joey...I am... Really scared. Um... I think that I screwed up and I'm gonna flunk out of high school. [Exhales deeply] so I need your help um...Really badly.",
"Joey: That's all you needed to say, pace.",
"Pacey: Heh! Oh, easy for you to say.",
"Joey: Oh, but, whatever it takes, we're gonna fix it. You know, I mean, everything's gonna be ok.",
"Pacey: How can you be sure?",
"Joey: I'm not going anywhere without you.",
"Pacey: Looking for special things inside of me inside of me inside of me inside of me Potter?",
"Joey: Yeah?",
"Pacey: How come you're so much smarter than I am?",
"Joey: I'm not that much smarter, pace. You just happen to be a little emotionally retarded.",
"Pacey: Is that it?",
"Joey: Yeah!",
"Pacey: Oh, that's such a load off my mind. [Laughs] let's go make out some more.",
"Joey: Sounds romantic.",
"Pacey: Well, you're far too cynical for my romantic overtures.",
"Joey: Doesn't mean you don't earn points for trying.",
"Pacey: Oh, come on. You love me.",
"Joey: And you bug me.",
"Pacey: [Chuckles]"

"Pacey: I'm bored.",
"Joey: Good.",
"Pacey: Good? Mm-mmm. I thought you were supposed to be concerned about me in light of the recent tragedy I've suffered.",
"Joey: Pacey, it's precisely because of the recent tragedy you suffered that you could use a little boredom. Now keep reading.",
"Pacey: I'm serious here, Jo. What's the point of reading a book about the future when the future in the book is already the past?",
"Joey: Everybody's future eventually becomes the past, Pacey.",
"Pacey: Yeah, but 1984? Big whoop. It happened. It's over. It was no big deal.",
"Joey: And how would you know? You were in diapers at the time.",
"Pacey: Vh1 behind the music, thank you very much. The point is, these people in the fifties, they spend their whole lives worrying about what the future's gonna be like, and when it gets here, turns out it's ok. Except for that whole boy George thing, but who could have predicted that, huh? What's this stuff?",
"Joey: Oh, nothing. It's just junk mail.",
"Pacey: Junk mail?",
"Joey: It's just college mail that came over the summer.",
"Pacey: You get junk mail from Princeton university?",
"Joey: It doesn't mean anything. It comes from everywhere. I mean, like for instance, like I'm gonna go to St. Olaf college? Or, uh, university of Hawaii. Or, uh, Valparaiso university. Where is that? It's like in brazil or something.",
"Pacey: But you are gonna go somewhere?",
"Joey: Well, not right this second. I mean, it's early yet anyway, I mean, you know, maybe I'll just... Maybe I'll just go to one of those fictional colleges. You know, like on those lame high school TV shows that go on for way too long. And then, just in time to save the franchise, all of the sudden it turns out that there's this amazing world class college that's right around the corner where all the principal characters are accepted. Just to be safe, we should probably start the application process.",

I know it's not gonna help me get into college. But I did start this thing, and I don't wanna quit until it's... Done.",
"Andie: I am so glad that I did this early action thing. Oh, it's just like this giant weight has been...",
"Joey: Placed firmly around my neck, I mean, it's a big decision. And it's not like I can afford to apply to a zillion places.",
"Dawson: Everyone just assumes I'm going to film school.",
"Advisor: And you're not?",
"Dawson: Well, I'm not ruling anything out. I mean, maybe I will, and maybe I won't.",

"Pacey: How can anybody be sure where they want to spend the next 4 years of their life? And I'm so sick of answering these lame questions like... Where do I see myself in 5 years? Just wish me luck, lady. I'll probably still be here.",
"Joey: I'm actually the first person in my family to even apply to college.",
"Advisor: That can work to your advantage. Elite schools are generally looking for people with diverse backgrounds. You're at the top of your class, Joey.",
"Joey: The top top?",
"Advisor: Number 4, and your board scores are phenomenal. I think that you should be able to get into practically anyplace in the country.",
"Joey: And this must be where the \"but\" comes in.",
"Advisor: Well, the Ivys, Georgetown, duke, Stanford, I mean, these schools accept only a miniscule amount of the people that apply. And hardly anybody ever gets a free ride. So you're telling me I've set my sights too high? It's a crapshoot. Now, do I think that you're smart and talented enough to be one of those people that gets in? Yes. Do I think that you should prepare yourself for the possibility that you might not be one of those people? That couldn't hurt.",

"Drue: If I didn't know better, I'd think maybe you weren't exactly happy to see me.",
"Jen: No! Really?",
"Drue: Here I am, your old chum from the big city cast adrift in a one-horse town with no decent Chinese food, and you don't roll out the red carpet, you don't sit with me at lunch, you don't introduce me to your friends.",
"Jen: Well, that's because you already seem to know my friends. They knew that you were here before I did, and they didn't warn me. I wonder why that is, huh?",
"Drue: Ok. Busted. I didn't tell them I knew you. I wanted to lay low, soak up some secondhand impressions of Jen Lindley, version 2.0. So, what do you say? You and me, one milkshake, 2 straws. Catch up on old times. I've missed you these past 2 years.",
"Jen: No, you didn't. You didn't miss me. You missed my idiotic willingness to try out any and all illegal substances that you happened to purchase in Washington square park. Remember?",
"Drue: Hey, come on. Not all that ecstasy turned out to be sinus headache medication. You make it sound like we never had any fun.",
"Jen: Drue, the kind of fun that we had, I don't have anymore. So I don't know what you're hoping to gain by this little trip down memory lane, but it won't get you anywhere.",
"Drue: Hey, it's not that I don't dig this whole hip-to-be-square thing you got going on, because I do. I just think we should hang out.",

"Gale: Hey, sorry about that. Tonight's special just changed from red snapper to Ahi tuna. Hi, honey. You know, Gretchen, everything certainly looks great on paper, but I do have one more question. What are your plans for school?",

"Jack: It's fine. It's nothing. The worst part about it was the sound that it made when they popped it back in.",
"Andie: Oh, it was so gross. You guys, er does not prepare you for that kind of stuff.",
"Guy: Hey, McPhee. Sorry about the shoulder.",
"Jack: Oh. Yeah. Thanks.",
"Dawson: Anything else we can help you with?",
"Guy: Yeah. A bunch of us were just kinda wondering if the party was still on.",
"Dawson: What party?",
"Guy: Was it like a surprise or something?",
"Jen: Is what a surprise?",
"Guy: The birthday party.",
"Guy2: Hey, Lindley. Happy birthday. Party tonight, dude?",
"Guy3: You know it, dude.",
"Andie: Ok, Jen. You did not tell me it was your birthday. Happy birthday!",
"Jen: No, no, no, no. It's not.",
"Jack: Yeah, it's not. Her birthday's in may.",
"Dawson: So it's not your birthday, and yet people who call each other dude seem to be attending your birthday party. You might want to look into that.",
"Jen: Yeah. Ha ha.",
"[Scene: Outside the Potter B&B. Bessie is sitting on a bench when Joey comes up to join her.]",
"Joey: Can I ask you a question? What does it mean when you dream that your teeth are slowly receding back into your head and the world's leading experts are powerless to stop it?",
"Bessie: It means you shouldn't stay up all night stressing about college. You'll get in some place great, they'll give you tons of financial aid, and everything will be perfect.",
"Joey: Yeah, that's what I thought, too, until yesterday.",
"Bessie: What happened yesterday?",
"Joey: [Sighs] I had a meeting with a new college advisor.",
"Bessie: So?",
"Joey: I'm fourth.",
"Bessie: Fourth? Four--fourth in your class? [Gasps] Joey, that's amazing.",
"Joey: Yeah. It's amazing, but... [Sighs] Bessie, all of the places that I thought I wanted to apply to, they're looking for people who are number 4, and they're, you know, concert violinists, or they won the Westinghouse science prize, or they're legacies like Andie. I mean... Maybe I shouldn't even bother, I mean... I--I'd probably just be wasting the application fees.",
"Bessie: Your defeatist attitude has got to go. What does Pacey say?",
"Joey: Pacey's barely gonna graduate. I can't exactly cry on his shoulder about my tragic lack of extracurricular activities. If I tell Pacey how stressed I am, he's just gonna think that I'm this pathetic, whiny crybaby, you know?",
"Bessie: Look, going to one of these schools could open up opportunities you've always dreamed about, right?",
"Joey: Yes.",
"Bessie: So your dreams are your dreams, Joey. You can't apologize for them. Just talk to him. You'll probably find out they're his dreams, too.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: The school hallway. Drue is walking in it, when Jen comes angrily up to him.]",
"Jen: Unacceptable.",
"Drue: Excuse me?",
"Jen: You throwing me a birthday party. Unacceptable.",
"Drue: So you found out about that.",
"Jen: Yeah, well, how could I not? I spent the entire morning fielding birthday wishes from complete strangers. My French class sang to me in French.",
"Drue: Oh, bummer. Hey, palmer.",
"Palmer: Hey, Drue.",
"Drue: Jason, I'll see you there, right, dude?",
"Jason: Oh, yeah. You know it, man. Excellent.",
"Drue: Isn't this great? Yesterday, I didn't even know that guy from a hole in the wall. Today, paesans. I'm telling you, this party's really been a great way for me to get to know people.",
"Jen: Good, but the fact that it's not my birthday, that--that puts no damper on the festivities, huh?",
"Drue: I like to think of tonight as an omnibus retroactive birthday celebration, you know? It covers all those parties we missed when we were apart, plus I'm doing a public service. We need to get you out of this funk you've been in since phantom freshman dumped you.",
"Jen: Ok, first of all, he didn't dump me. I dumped him.",
"Drue: Technicality.",
"Jen: Second, this isn't a funk. It's my personality. Harsh. Third, it's not my birthday.",
"Drue: Another technicality. Look, I want to let you in on a little secret, ok? Something the old Jen Lindley used to know. People are sheep. They need a reason to celebrate, ok, and that's where I come in. I give them something to celebrate. You.",
"Jen: Answer me one thing: Why on earth would I actually attend this little shindig?",
"Drue: Well, you can't miss your own birthday.",
"Jen: But it's not my birthday.",
"Drue: I know, I know, but everyone here thinks it's your birthday, so work with me, ok? If it's your birthday and you don't show up, I guess that makes you sort of a stuck-up.",
"Jen: You know what? Don't say it, Drue. I'd hate for endangered turtles to die while they're dragging the creek for your body.",
"Drue: Mmm. Starts at 8:00, dress is casual, but, uh, not that casual. You might want to go home first. Spiff yourself up a little, ok? See you later.",
"[Scene: A sidewalk in Capeside's shopping district. Jack and Andie are walking along the sidewalk talking to each other. Jack is in considerable pain.]",
"Andie: You know, Jack, things aren't as bad as you think they are. In fact, this whole injury could be a really good thing.",
"Jack: Oh, yeah. Let me guess. It'll give me more time to work on my applications?",
"Andie: Exactly, 'cause you don't want to get behind. Not like you already aren't.",
"Jack: [Sighs] look, Andie, I am in some serious pain here. Can you just lay off the lectures for a little bit, just until I get some pills in me?",
"Andie: Sure thing.",
"Jack: Thanks.",
"Andie: Although... You might want to consider that this whole experience could make a really great essay topic.",
"Jack: Yeah. Yeah, that's good. I'm gonna get working on that as soon as I get home. Are we done with this little shopping excursion of ours?",
"Andie: Almost. I just want to go in the bookstore and get a present for Jen for her birthday.",
"Jack: [Sighs] you know it's not actually her birthday?",
"Andie: I know. It just seems kind of rude to show up empty-handed.",
"[Scene: The Leery Fish House. Dawson and Gale are sitting at a table eating and talking to each other.]",
"Dawson: Mm-hmm. I am never eating a home-cooked meal again, am I?",
"Gale: Yeah. Looks like you're stuck yet again with 4-star gourmet cuisine.",
"Dawson: So, uh, Gretchen seems to be working out.",
"Gale: Uh, yeah, so far. I just wish I knew that she was gonna be around for more than a few months. Now, why would this incredibly beautiful and bright and talented young woman who could be off at college furthering her education choose to be back in Capeside tending bar?",
"Dawson: Because maybe college isn't the be-all and end-all that parents make it out to be. You know, I mean, maybe once you get past the rhetoric of all these great books that nobody reads, college is basically just a holding pen for 18- to 22-year-olds. Like one of those airports that everybody has to stop at on their way to someplace else? Kind of like prison with a better meal plan.",
"Gale: Please tell me you're saying these things for the adolescent thrill of getting a rise out of your mother.",
"Dawson: It's true, mom. Most people aren't in college to learn. They're there to kill brain cells and co-mingle with the opposite s*x.",
"Gale: Well, not that I'm complaining, but how did I end up with the only 17-year-old in the country who thinks that sounds like a bad idea?",
"Dawson: Well, I'm not opposed to those things. I'm just saying I think the whole idea of higher education is a little bit of a misnomer. You know, I think people should call things what they are.",
"Gale: Like when people are running away from their problems, they should admit they're running away from their problems?",
"Dawson: Are we talking about somebody I know?",
"Gale: Well, honey, your father and I couldn't help but notice that all of the college applications arriving in the mailbox seem to be coming from zip codes more than 1,000 miles away.",
"Dawson: Right, and you and dad never suspected that your movie-obsessed son might want to go to school in California?",
"Gale: Well, honey, we don't have a problem if you want to go to California or new Mexico or Alaska if that's what you really want. We just don't want you to make a decision that's gonna affect the rest of your life based on the wrong criteria.",
"Dawson: [Sighs] like?",
"Gale: Like the desire to put an entire continent between you and a certain girl we both know?",
"[Scene: Pacey's House. Joey and Pacey are there talking to one another.]",
"Joey: If I tell you what's bothering me, will you promise not to laugh at me or tell me I'm insane or insist that I should just get over myself?",
"Pacey: I think I can probably do that, yeah.",
"Joey: [Sighs] I found out yesterday that I'm fourth. My class rank. I'm fourth.",
"Pacey: [Laughs] that's your problem? That's not a problem. If anything, that's a reason to quit studying.",
"Joey: I don't even know why I bother. I knew you wouldn't understand.",
"Pacey: Ok, I'm sorry. That was bad. Can we try that again? Yeah? But this time, you've gotta cut out all that stuff about being number 4, 'cause I know that can't possibly be the reason you're so bothered.",
"Joey: Well, no, it's... It's just that I always thought that if I did well in school, that these doors would open for me, you know, and--and maybe I was just being naive. Maybe I've just set these goals that are really unrealistic, and you know, certain people get into certain places because of who their parents are, how-- you're not even listening.",
"Pacey: Uh, no, I was listening. Look, we should just all have your problems, you know? You're sitting here as a girl with one of the brightest futures on the face of the planet, talking to a guy who's not gonna get into any school where they don't give him his own tools.",
"Joey: Put your shoes on. Let's go out.",
"Pacey: Out? We can't go out.",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Pacey: You know, just when this conversation starts to get emotionally complex, you want to bail. Who's the guy in this relationship?",
"Joey: You are, and as the guy, you have a choice. You can either stay here and prove how sensitive you aren't, or we can go to Jen's un-birthday party.",
"Pacey: Right. I'll get my shoes.",
"[Scene: The Party. There is a large house that the party is being thrown at, with 50 or so people throughout it partying. Jen and Dawson arrive, and start looking around.]",
"[All screaming, laughing]",
"Jen: ooh. Look at that. There he is, our host. You know, on a good day, he'll ruin your chances of getting into the college of your choice, convince you he's the sausage king of Chicago, and wreck your father's car, but somehow, you'll end up thanking him.",
"Dawson: Can I ask the inevitable question?",
"Jen: Was he my boyfriend? No. Was he an indiscretion? Yes.",
"Dawson: Ah.",
"Jen: But to be quite honest, I'm not quite sure what he remembers. We were both chemically altered at the time. I don't think I need to go any further than that.",
"[Cut to the Punch bowl. Drue is serving drinks, when Joey and Pacey come up to him.]",
"Pacey: It's exciting. Can't get enough.",
"Drue: Witter. I knew you couldn't resist a party. I see you've brought the prim reaper.",
"Joey: We came for your immortal soul. That is, if you got one. Actually, I'd just like a drink.",
"Drue: Mm-hmm. Here's one for you and for you.",
"Pacey: Thanks. Oh, no, no, no. I don't think so. It is a proven fact that you, madam, cannot hold your alcohol.",
"Joey: So let me get this straight. You can drink at parties and I can't?",
"Pacey: Yes, because as you so rightly pointed out, I am a guy, and if I'm going to get in trouble for being a guy, I think I should at least get to act like one every once in a while... You know, with your advance permission and approval. Of course, I wouldn't, you know, do it without asking first.",
"Joey: That's fine.",
"Pacey: That's fine?",
"Joey: Yeah. We'll both be guys tonight. Cheers.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Jen's Birthday Party. Jen finally comes up to confront Drue.]",
"Jen: Drue.",
"Drue: So, the guest of honor finally decides to honor me with her presence.",
"Jen: Mmm. Unavoidable. Listen, I'm working on a little theory. This isn't your house, is it?",
"Drue: [Gasps] I'm shocked. Here I welcome you and 65 of your closest friends into my home, and this is how you repay me, by, uh, accusing me of what exactly? Misrepresenting my place of residence? What could I possibly gain by such a tactic?",
"Jen: Well, plausible deniability. I know what you're doing. See, if you throw a wild, raucous party at your own house, chances are you will get caught. But if you throw the same party at some stranger's summer house, there's nothing to link you to the scene of the crime, and voila-- plausible deniability.",
"Drue: Hey, you know, that's a pretty sophisticated theory you got going on there.",
"Jen: Well, I'm a pretty sophisticated kind of girl. Yeah. Oh, and I almost forgot the best part. The thing that really elevates this whole \"happy birthday, Jen\" thing from a mildly amusing runner to a potentially ingenious little plot twist.",
"Drue: Uh, and that would be?",
"Jen: Should the cops happen to show up and ask who's responsible for this mess, all the drunken masses are gonna remember is that it was Jen Lindley's birthday party.",
"Drue: So it's just absolutely impossible that my intentions are pure, that all I wanted tonight was for you to have a good time.",
"Jen: [Sighs] well, I wouldn't say that it's absolutely impossible, but I'd put the chances somewhere around 3%.",
"Drue: [Laughs] you know what? I have a theory about your theory. I think the first half is right. I think this isn't my house. Because maybe my house isn't the type of house that would impress anyone in this town, least of all, you. Maybe my house isn't even a house.",
"Jen: And what's this, some sort of riddle?",
"Drue: Mmm. The party calls. See you later, birthday girl.",
"[Cut to Dawson and Joey sitting in the party talking to one another. Joey is really starting to get drunk.]",
"Dawson: So, uh, number 4 with a bullet, huh?",
"Joey: How do you know that, Dawson?",
"Dawson: Kenny Reiling and friends have already established a betting pool.",
"Joey: [Sighs] kind of pathetic, isn't it? I mean, 12 years of being a total control freak about school, practically giving myself an ulcer hunting snails and building balsa wood bridges for extra credit, and where does that get me? Fourth.",
"Dawson: Joey, fourth is amazing. I mean, the race isn't even over yet. That what you're doing tonight? Celebrating?",
"Joey: [Laughs] yeah. The future. Whoopee!",
"Dawson: Joey, everything's working out exactly the way you always wanted. Between your grades and your sat scores, you can go anywhere.",
"Joey: Not you, too, Dawson. I mean, can't 2 people sit down and make small talk without the subject of college coming up? I mean, isn't that possible? I mean, what's next? Are you gonna ask me, uh, where I see myself in 5 years?",
"Dawson: I don't have to. Aren't you the same girl who wanted to be an anthropologist or an oceanographer?",
"Joey: [Laughs] yeah. Dawson, do you have any idea how much money anthropologists make? And besides, I was just saying that to get your goat. I mean, your buttons are so easy to push. Well, were so easy.",
"Dawson: So you never really had any desire to do great and heroic things with your life? See faraway places, uncover lost civilizations. When it comes right down to it, you'd be just as happy hanging around here in Capeside?",
"Joey: I didn't say that. Don't put words in my mouth.",
"Dawson: I'm just trying to figure out why someone who's about to reap the benefits of something she's worked for her entire life, she's trying to drown herself in some 80-proof fruit punch.",
"Joey: Look, don't do this, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Ok. Cheers.",
"[Cut to Drue sitting at a table getting ready to play some cards, when Pacey comes walking up looking around for Joey.]",
"Drue: Ok, that looks good. Poker time, gentlemen. Who's playing? Hey, how about you, Witter? You up for a little game of cards, or, uh, you have to ask permission from the old ball and chain?",
"Pacey: Yeah, I'd be happy to just find the old ball and chain right now.",
"Drue: Uh, yeah, I think I saw her talking to Dawson. Oh, no, wait. That's wrong. She took a walk with the birthday girl, which is why you should stay here and play cards with us. So, what do you say? 5-card draw. You in or out?",
"Pacey: Well, it's your money.",
"[Cut to the outside docks. Joey and Jen are walking on them and come to a stop at the end.]",
"Jen: All right, Joey. I think that we've walked far enough. Now, what did you need to tell me? Is here good?",
"Joey: Yes, here is good. Good, because I... Would like to make a toast. All the love and happiness in the world to my friend, Jen Lindley, on her birthday.",
"Jen: Well, thank you very much, Joey, but, um... You do know it's--it's really not my birthday.",
"Joey: That's all right. [Laughs] I mean, we're not really friends. [Both laugh] I'm just kidding. I'm kidding, I'm--I'm kidding. We are. I think we are. Do you think we are? I can't really even pinpoint exactly when we became friends--",
"Jen: you know what, Joey? Let's not delve too far into it, 'cause then we'll just remember why we're supposed to hate each other.",
"Joey: I don't hate you.",
"Jen: Oh",
"Joey: I love you.",
"Jen: [Laughs] I know",
"Joey: I do.",
"Jen: No, Joey, Joey, you love everybody tonight. Joey, let me ask you something. Mmm? Do you think that you can summon up enough brain power to answer one little question?",
"Joey: Is it about our future?",
"Jen: No. No, it's purely about the present.",
"Joey: Shoot.",
"Jen: Do you happen to know where Drue lives?",
"Joey: Ding, ding, ding. I do know the answer to that one. Drue lives in an apartment at the yacht club with his mother.",
"Jen: Ok, and what--what about his father?",
"Joey: Taos, new Mexico, I think. I guess he ran off with some new age chippie. Nice, huh? Left them high and dry.",
"[Cut to Jack and Andie inside sitting on a couch talking to each other.]",
"Jack: \"You, too, can get into the college of your choice.\" Please tell me that's a private joke between the two of you.",
"Andie: It's not a joke. It's a very helpful book.",
"Jack: Maybe so, but as a birthday present or an un-birthday present, it pretty much sucks.",
"Andie: Ok, what's your problem?",
"Jack: My problem is that... Not everyone wants to spend every waking moment of life thinking about college, and some of us want to actually enjoy the remainder of our senior year, Andie.",
"Andie: And I don't?",
"Jack: No, you don't, 'cause ever since you finished your applications, all you've been doing is getting on my case about mine, Andie. Look, don't get me wrong, ok? I'm--I'm happy for you. I'm glad that everything's going so well, and you've got everything... Under control... But I don't need you to control my life... And you certainly don't need to branch out into Jen's.",
"Andie: Oh, so you want me to just stand there and watch as you back yourself into a corner and totally ruin your entire future?",
"Jack: Andie, it is not my future that I'm concerned about at the moment, it's the present. Look, 24 hours ago, my senior year officially began to suck. The only thing I was looking forward to this year, the only reason I fit into this damn high school was 'cause of football. I don't even have that anymore. So can we please just forget about the future for now? Just for tonight? Ok?",
"[Cut to Joey and Jen. Andie comes up to join them.]",
"Andie: Oh, there you guys are. I've been looking all over for you.",
"Joey: Well, except here, 'cause if you would have looked here, you would have found us, 'cause this, Andie, is where we are.",
"Jen: [Whispering] ignore her. So, where's jack?",
"Andie: He's avoiding me. Am I too controlling?",
"Both: Yes.",
"Andie: Thanks for the vote of confidence.",
"Joey: Andie, it's not a judgment. Some people like salad dressing on the salad, and some people like it on the side.",
"Andie: Ok. Well, you know, it's just I want everyone that I know to be able to live up to his or her potential.",
"Joey: Well, I have great potential as a waitress.",
"Jen: [Laughs] that's great, Joey. What do you say that we get out of here, all right? I've got somebody that I owe an apology to.",
"Joey: No, no, no. Stay here. Before anyone leaves this spot, we have a very important question to answer. Where do we really see ourselves in 5 years? And not the version that you answer to your college advisor. Come on.",
"Jen: All right. Um, I plan to be starting work on my master's thesis, \"are men necessary?\"",
"[All laugh]",
"Andie: and I guess I'll be in P.R. 'Cause I mean, that's all I've really ever been good at in life is painting a happy face on disaster.",
"Jen: Andie.",
"Andie: Well, you know. Think about it. [Laughs] ok, you're up.",
"Joey: Um... You tell me.",
"Jen: All right, all right. That's an easy one. Um, you will have graduated from a ridiculously expensive ivy league school, moved to New York, where you will have taken a job in a funky soho art gallery where your starting salary is actually less than a year's tuition.",
"Joey: [Laughs] now, why New York?",
"Jen: Because New York is finishing school for cynics like us.",
"Joey: I'm not a cynic.",
"Jen: [Laughs] ok, you're not exactly sunshine personified, Joey.",
"Joey: [Laughs]",
"Andie: Ok, ok, you guys, come on.",
"Joey: Right here, right now, let's make a deal. In 5 years, we'll get back together, and we'll see if any of these predictions actually came true.",
"Jen: Deal.",
"Andie: Deal.",
"Jen: Ok. Shall we?",
"Joey: We shall. Oh, wait. You guys, how are we gonna remember the date? It's not really Jen's birthday.",
"Jen: I'll remember.",
"Joey: Do you promise?",
"[Cut to inside the party. Jack and Dawson are walking talking to one another.]",
"Jack: So, you think we're the only 2 people not having fun at this thing?",
"Dawson: It's hard to tell. Everybody else could be having fun, or they could just be imitating the fun they've seen people have in movies.",
"[A guy walks past them, and slips knocking over a huge pile of cans. The two guys behind the pile who were building jump up and chase the first one past Jack and Dawson.]",
"Jack: [Laughs] yeah.",
"Dawson: Should we, uh",
"Jack: no, they're guards. They're slow as hell. They'll never catch him.",
"Dawson: I forget you actually know these people.",
"Jack: Yeah, well, it's all part of being on a team, I guess, or sitting on the sidelines as it may be. Right. I don't know. You know, it's funny. You think something's making your life a living hell, and then when it's gone, It's... You really miss it. [Looks over and sees Joey.]But then again, I guess you probably know that feeling.",
"Dawson: [Laughs] yeah. Yeah.",
"[Cut to the Poker Table. Drue, Pacey, a woman and several others are playing. The woman begins to take off her top because she lost the hand, when Joey comes up to them. ]",
"Drue: Excellent. I love this girl. It's like she's trying to lose.",
"Joey: Strip poker. I leave you alone for 2 seconds, and you end up playing strip poker?",
"Pacey: Originally this was just poker-poker, until I started kicking his ass. Then your friendly neighborhood co-worker decides to change the stakes on me, but I'm finished now, and, uh, we can just leave.",
"Joey: Why leave? There's a half-naked chick in the room.",
"Pacey: It's just a game. Up until now, nobody's taken off anything other than socks.",
"Joey: So, it's just all good, clean fun?",
"Pacey: Yeah, exactly. Just good, clean, American guy fun.",
"Joey: Mmm. Deal me in.",
"Pacey: Excuse me?",
"Joey: You heard me. Now, what does a girl have to take off in order to play this game?",
"Pacey: Ok, that's enough. [Claps] it's time for us to leave now, 'cause you see, you're drunk, you're bordering on disorderly, and you are definitely insane. So get up. Let's go. Shall we? Finished? Stand up. Let's go.",
"Joey: You want me to stand up?",
"Pacey: Yes, I'd like for you to stand up now.",
"Joey: And why would I do that?",
"Pacey: Because you are forcing me to make the ultimate guy maneuver.",
"Joey: Pacey, uh, you can put me down now, Pacey. I'm fine.",
"Pacey: Shh. Shh.",
"Joey: I'm fine.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Inside after the party is over. Jen and Drue are sitting together next to a cake with lit candles.]",
"Jen: I can't believe I'm saying this, but thank you. For the party. Turned out to not be so horrible.",
"Drue: Well, thank you for coming. Uh, I hope I got the number of candles right.",
"Jen: [Giggles] it'll do. So should I make my wish?",
"Drue: No, first your present. I'd hate for you to squander it on something that may actually be in this box.",
"Jen: [Sighs] listen. Drue, I'm sorry. About your parents. Joey told me. And... And I'm sorry I--I just assumed everything would be the same. That was stupid of me.",
"Drue: It was. What are you waiting for? Open your present.",
"Jen: All right. But you didn't have to do this.",
"Drue: I know. I know I didn't have to. I wanted to.",
"[Both giggle]",
"Jen: what the hell is this?",
"Drue: I think you know what it is.",
"Jen: Ecstasy. Drue, I thought that I made my feelings perfectly clear on this subject.",
"Drue: You did. Too clear. Which led me to suspect the lady was protesting too much.",
"Jen: God! I am really an idiot. You haven't changed a bit.",
"Drue: Oh, and you have? Please. Your hairstyle, maybe, but people don't change. Not that much.",
"Jen: Yes, they do. They grow up, they accept responsibility. They realize that \"die young and leave a good-looking corpse\" is not all it's cracked up to be. I don't want your present, Drue.",
"Drue: Fine.",
"Jen: But since you've become such a paragon of responsibility, I guess it won't bother you if I just leave it right here. For safekeeping.",
"[Scene: Jack's Room. Jack is there when Andie comes up to his room.]",
"Andie: Hey. I just wanted to make sure that you got home ok.",
"Jack: Yeah, I--I hitched a ride with my, uh, my one good arm.",
"Andie: Oh. I thought maybe, uh, Dawson gave you a lift. Not that I care one way or the other. I'm not going to get too involved in your life or anything.",
"Jack: You know, this is all your fault.",
"Andie: I know. That's why I'm here apologizing.",
"Jack: I'm not, uh, copying the apology part.",
"Andie: I'm sorry. I really am. I'm sorry I haven't been more understanding about football. And I'm really sorry that I got all over your case on college.",
"Jack: Keep going.",
"Andie: You want me to abase myself further?",
"Jack: basically, yeah.",
"Andie: Ok, jack, you seem to think that I am, like, really obsessed with the future, and I'm not. I mean, really, I don't want it to get here any quicker than you do.",
"Jack: Yeah, well, you have a funny way of showing it.",
"Andie: Look, in less than a year, my life is going to be completely changed. I mean, everything is going to be different. I'm gonna live somewhere different, I'm gonna have different friends. I mean, everything is going to be different, and you know in times of uncertainty, I look for things that I can fix.",
"Jack: You cant fix me, Andie. I mean, you gotta let me make my own mistakes in my own way in my own time. And it's not just for me. I mean, you gotta work on letting go of things you can't control.",
"Andie: Like where you're gonna go to college.",
"Jack: Or where I'm gonna go to college.",
"Andie: Agreed. But do you realize that next year is gonna be the first year ever that we're not gonna be in the same school together?",
"Jack: [Chuckles] hey. I tried to start kindergarten without you.",
"Andie: What?! That is such a story that mom and dad told you. And besides, how could your version of the story possibly be true when everybody knows it's a fact that I, the more responsible one, am definitely the older sibling in this relationship.",
"Jack: Heh!",
"Andie: Yeah!",
"[Scene: Outside the Potter B&B. Pacey has just driven Joey home, and is getting her out of the car.]",

"Pacey: Before, I had to drag you kicking and screaming, but now you wanna be carried? No.",
"Joey: It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind.",
"Pacey: Ah, but tonight you're one of the guys, remember? And guys walk. So come on, number 4. Out you get, watch your head.",
"Joey: Uh... I don't really feel so good.",
"Pacey: Well, guess what? You're gonna feel even worse tomorrow morning. And you still won't be any closer to getting into the ivy-covered institution of your choice.",
"Joey: Pacey. I've been doing some thinking.",
"Pacey: Yeah. Drunk thinking.",
"Joey: Maybe... Maybe that's not what I really want. Maybe I just wanna stay here. You know, I mean-- I mean, look, it's--it's really beautiful here and... And I could just--",
"Pacey: just what? Stay here and work as a waitress all your life? Come on. I mean, forgive me if you're losing me here, Jo, but to be perfectly honest, you haven't made the slightest bit of sense all night, even before you were drunk--",
"Joey: I wanna be with you, Pacey. I wanna stay and be with you.",
"Pacey: [Sighs] Hon, if you wanna be with me, then staying here would be a really stupid idea, considering I don't plan to be here. I plan to be wherever you are.",
"Joey: Really?",
"Pacey: Yes, really. Not that you deserve to hear such things right now.",
"Joey: I know, I know. It was a very stupid thing to get drunk.",
"Pacey: Yes, it was. I mean, let's face it here, Jo. You are destined for academic glory, and your boyfriend is circling the drain, which is a problem. In fact, that is a very big problem, but you couldn't possibly have thought that you could solve all of your problems in one night, with alcohol of all things.",
"Joey: No.",
"Pacey: No. Because alcohol, you know, it has that effect on problems. It just never solved them, ever. And I would hate to think that I fell in love with a moron.",
"Joey: So you're in love with me, huh?",
"Pacey: Well, not currently, no. Right now you're just some crazy drunk girl I gotta get in that door without waking up all the paying customers at her sister's b & b, but generally speaking...Yes.",
"Joey: May I kiss you right now?",
"Pacey: Yes, please. Mmm! Mmm-mmm-mmm! Mmm-mmm-mmm! But I'm still not carrying you.",
"Joey: [Whispering] please.",
"Pacey: Nope. [Laughs] you can give me the eyes, it's just not gonna work. Oh, come on, honestly, you don't[ ][mumbling] Jo, what, I look like I just fell off the turnip truck? You think I'm gonna fall for this? Jo... Halfway, that's it, I swear. I'm not kidding. My back's killing me here. Well, I guess since you're up here",

"Dawson: Oh, so, uh... Congratulations on the job.",
"Gretchen: Thanks. I feel like I owe you one.",
"Dawson: Oh. Huh! Can I take a rain check?",
"Gretchen: Oh, we're not gonna drink. But for every quarter that I bounce into that glass, you're gonna tell me one thing that's bothering you.",
"Dawson: How do you know something's bothering me?",
"Gretchen: Please. [Laughing] oh, there! See? Perfect. So spill.",
"Dawson: All right. Earlier this evening-- ahem. My mother accused me of wanting to go to school in California so that I could run away from my problems.",
"Gretchen: And you think she's right.",
"Dawson: I don't know. I mean... Past few weeks, I've seen plenty of things that would make me wanna run screaming to the opposite coast.",
"Gretchen: Like?",
"[Quarter lands in glass]",
"Dawson: don't make me answer this.",
"Gretchen: Come on. This is much more therapeutic than drinking.",
"Dawson: [Sighs] I've seen how much she loves him. I've seen it in her face. I've seen them hold hands, I've seen them kiss, and tonight, I saw them fight, which is something I've basically seen them do every day of my life since the first grade, but",
"Gretchen: but not like this.",
"Dawson: [Sighs] I think it was actually worse than the kissing.",
"Gretchen: You know, Dawson, it might interest you to know that I did take one film class in college.",
"Dawson: Was it a monumental waste of time?",
"Gretchen: No. It was great, actually. But you know what my teacher said was the most bogus line in Hollywood cinema?",
"Dawson: What?",
"Gretchen: \"There's no place like home.\"",
"Dawson: The wizard of oz.",
"Gretchen: Exactly. It's what everybody remembers about the movie, but it doesn't resonate with the rest of the story. Think about it. You know, home is this desolate, gray dust bowl of a place where some nasty old lady is trying to kill your dog. And oz is",
"Dawson: Technicolor.",
"Gretchen: And sure it has its problems. You know, poppy fields, flying monkeys--",
"Dawson: talking trees.",
"Gretchen: But along the way, you make friends. Good friends. With people that you never even knew existed when you were growing up. Straw people, tin people",
"Dawson: and lions.",
"Gretchen: Exactly. And you help each other realize that all the things you wanna be you already are. And it's fun.",
"Dawson: Well, if it's so much fun... Then what are you doing here?",
"Gretchen: I don't recall you getting to ask any questions as part of our deal.",
"Dawson: Well, what if I can bounce a quarter in that glass?",
"Gretchen: Never happen.",
"Dawson: You're not even gonna let me try?",
"Gretchen: You can try, but you're just gonna have to use your own money, because I worked very hard to earn these quarters.",
"Dawson: You're not gonna loan me one lousy quarter?",
"Gretchen: No.",
"Dawson: I don't think that's fair.",
"Gretchen: [Laughs] well, that's too bad."

"Gale: Ok. Call the beer distributor. Tell him he's a week late. If he can't get his ass over today, he's fired. Give the guy who found a hair a free drink. Put out a fresh bowl of pretzels and then tell my husband and my traitor son to get off my back.",

"Pacey: Uh, well, because every afternoon, we sit out here and we make out, and then inevitably at some point, you stop us, and we just go inside and watch TV for the rest of the afternoon. So today I'm issuing a preemptive strike. And I'm issuing a counteroffensive. [She begins kissing him again.]No, no. Stop right there. Haven't you ever heard the term no means no?",
"Joey: I don't think I've ever heard that from you.",
"Pacey: Well, you're hearing it now. I'm serious. It's time for us to watch some TV.",

"Andie: Come on, coaching peewee soccer is a great opportunity to help mold young minds, teach them about teamwork and sportsmanship. Ok. The only reason to do it is because it looks good on your college apps. But don't worry. I take full responsibility should it turn out to be disastrous.",
"Jack: Damn straight.",
"Andie: Oh! Hey, kids. I'm Andie, and this is my brother jack. And together, we are all about to embark upon a soccer experience that will enrich your lives for years to come.",

"Jack: I heard something. I think she talked. Anyway, what molly doesn't know is that by the end of the season, no one is going to hate soccer, 'cause we're going to have so much fun runnin' around, winning some games, and eating plenty of pizza afterwards. So who's with me?",
"Kids: Me! Yeah!",

"Mr. Brooks: I think you have that space covered, Mr. Leery. Unless you'd like to be working off your debt into the next millennium.",
"Dawson: Sorry about that, Mr. Brooks.",
"Mr. Brooks: What might be prompting such a distracted performance? Worried which pompom girl to ask to the pep rally? Might I remind you that although I'm not paying you, it is you who owes me the debt of service.

"Dawson: Will do, Mr. Brooks.",
"[Mr. Brooks turns to see some photos hanging out of Dawson's bag.]",
"Mr. Brooks: Well, well, what's this? Fancy yourself a photographer, an artiste? Let's have a look at these.",
"Dawson: Could you leave my personal property alone, please?",
"Mr. Brooks: Surely the boy who stole and wrecked my boat is not giving me a lecture on the sanctity of personal property? Pedestrian. Wholly uninteresting. Amateurish and terrible composition, too. You--you didn't take this on purpose? Whew! As a photographer, you're a mediocre house painter, Mr. Leery. Do you know what your problem is? Those photos are cold, unemotional. There is no spark.",

"Joey: I think Pacey is starting to get impatient.",
"Jen: Joey, he loves you. He'll wait.",
"Joey: But, Jen, Pacey's not the problem. It's me. I mean, let's face it. The waiting just goes on and on, and at this point, even I'm getting impatient, but...For some reason, I just keep waiting.",
"Jen: Joey, let me ask you something. Are you sure that you really wanna have s*x?",
"Joey: Of course I wanna have s*x. The question is am I ready? Because I don't know how you know. I mean... Everyone just says that you just know, but what if that's just what they say and they never really know?",
"Jen: Joey, I think that you'd feel more ready if you were actually prepared.",
"Joey: What do you mean?",
"Jen: Listen...For girls in New York, a visit to the free clinic to get birth control, safe-sex advice-- it's a rite of passage. It's like getting a bat mitzvah or, you know, your learner's permit test.",
"Joey: The free clinic.",
"Jen: Yeah. The truth is I don't think that anybody ever really knows if they're ready, but you do know if you're prepared, and you're not.",

"Gale: Now, Mitch, have you thought at all about how we can possibly send Dawson to college and raise another child? We're already in debt as it is. And what about the fact we're not exactly 25-year-olds anymore? Do we even have the stamina to be parents all over again? That's 20 more years that we would have to commit to another child. Not to mention what we put Dawson through these past few years. What if that happens again?",
"Mitch: That's not gonna happen again.",
"Gale: I don't know. I can't help thinking that we should have thought about this before.",
"Mitch: Maybe that's true... But you're pregnant now. I mean, that's the reality.",
"Gale: Um... Mitch, you're avoiding one thing. Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean that I have to stay that way. And if I were to make that decision right this second... I wouldn't.",

"Caroline: I'm Caroline, by the way. Caroline say. Molly's older sister. Mom had me when she was 21, molly when she was 40. Mm-hmm. That would make me 28, in case you were wondering.",

"Caroline: And how old would that make you?",
"Jack: I'm 18.",
"Caroline: Hmm. Girlfriend?",
"Jack: Uh, sister.",

"Jack: [Laughs] no. Why would you say that?",

"Jack: Flirting? Why-- why would I think you're flirting?",
"Caroline: Because I am flirting.",
"Jack: Heh! Um... Caroline? Mm-hmm? Uh, look, I-I'm flattered and everything, but, uh",

"Caroline: shy and what?",
"Jack: Shy and...",

"Dawson: Actually, he's right. They suck.",
"Gretchen: No, they most definitely do not suck.",

"Gretchen: Really? Why?",
"Dawson: Well, they're in their forties. They're about to send a kid to college. They barely have any money in the bank. Their relationship the past couple of years hasn't exactly been rock-solid. Everything's so unstable. It just seems... Completely irresponsible.",
"Gretchen: It is.",
"Dawson: Yeah, but I can't feel that way. I mean, I don't wanna feel that way, you know? I wanna be happy for them. Any idea how I can swing that?",
"Gretchen: You mean how can you make yourself feel something that you're not? Heh heh! I don't know. All I know is I can't help but wonder how your mom feels right now. I mean, she's the one with the baby growing inside of her, you know, the one who doesn't have any money in the bank, the one whose kid is about to go off to college, the one who just got back together with her husband.",

"Nurse: Have a seat. Did you schedule a pelvic exam with the doctor?",
"Joey: Mm-hmm.",
"Nurse: Ok, I'm gonna ask you a few questions, and I apologize ahead of time if they are a little bit unsettling. Are you ready? Are you currently sexually active?",
"Joey: What do you mean?",
"Nurse: Are you currently having intercourse?",
"Joey: Oh! I'm--I'm sorry. I wasn't sure. Never mind. I-- no, I--but I'm going to be having intercourse. It's--that's why I'm here.",
"Nurse: Are you aware that there is a chlamydia epidemic and that syphilis cases are on the rise?",
"Joey: Syphilis?",
"Nurse: Are you aware that there is currently no cure for the sexually transmitted diseases herpes, HIV, and HPV? And are you aware that while the pill offers excellent protection against pregnancy, it does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases? Have you had sexual relations in the past, and if so, were there any instances of unprotected s*x?",
"Joey: No, I'M... A virgin, 100%",
"Nurse: and are you currently in a monogamous relationship?",
"Joey: So far as I know.",
"Nurse: Is there any reason why you'd think your partner's not being monogamous?",
"Joey: Oh, no, no! I-- I was just kidding. He's definitely monog",
"Nurse: you know, Joey, sometimes we think our partner is being monogamous",
"Joey: no, he's definitely monogamous. There's really no doubt in my mind.",
"Nurse: Regardless, it's important to practice safe s*x. Now, is your partner willing to wear condoms?",
"Joey: Yes.",
"Nurse: Ms. Potter, these aren't even the hard questions. What if you become pregnant or contract an std? I mean, these are the potential consequences of s*x.",
"Joey: Ok.",
"Nurse: Maybe you should know the other side of the coin, Joey. I mean, s*x can be a wonderful, fun, fulfilling part of life. There's nothing to be ashamed or afraid of. I just... Want you to approach it with a certain level of maturity and responsibility, that's all.",
"Joey: Ok.",
"Nurse: So you scheduled your pelvic exam for next week. In the meantime, here you go. Condoms, spermicide, some information about birth control, Depo-Provera, other birth control options. And Joey?",

"Andie: Yeah?",
"Jack: I don't know. I feel like I'm-- I'm bringing her out of her shell or making a difference or something. You think that's stupid?",
"Andie: Nah, I think that's pretty awesome.",
"Jack: There is one problem. You know that girl Caroline who comes to practice with molly? I think she propositioned me yesterday.",
"Andie: What? No! Ok. Was she just flirting? I mean, maybe she was just flirting.",
"Jack: No, no, no. No, she was one step away from reaching her hand down my pants and checking out the merchandise.",
"Andie: Eww! Ok, I do not need to hear that.",
"Jack: I know, but you gotta help me, 'cause she won't take no for an answer. I mean, I think the word \"no\" just turns her on even more.",
"Andie: So just tell her you're gay.",
"Jack: Andie... The word \"gay\" is kind of controversial when you're talking about working with kids.",
"Andie: Oh, that's crap.",
"Jack: I know it's crap, but it's a reality. I mean, all I wanna do right now is just put \"soccer coach\" on my college apps, not \"gay civil rights crusader.\"",

"[Faint talking]",
"Dawson: good. You guys are home. Uh, I want to talk to you.",
"Mitch: What is it, Dawson? It's about how I reacted when I found out that mom was pregnant. Um... I was really shocked and, um... Maybe a little bit disappointed, but I've been thinking, and I've just-- I've realized that... Heh! This is amazing. I mean... God, I'm-- I'm gonna have a little brother or sister. I mean, how cool is that?",
"Mitch: Dawson... We're not gonna have the baby.",
"Dawson: What?",
"Gale: I know. Believe me, this isn't exactly the way that we wanted to tell you.",
"Dawson: You know, w-wait a sec-- j-just... Just like that? You make a decision like this in a day?",
"Gale: Uh, well, no, actually, Dawson, it wasn't just like that. I had suspected that I was pregnant for some time. I just didn't wanna deal with it because I knew what my decision would be if I was.",
"Dawson: I can't believe this.",
"Gale: Well, honey, you should be happy. Your lackluster attempt at excitement just now wasn't exactly Oscar-worthy.",
"Dawson: Mom, I meant everything that I said. I'm trying to be supportive. Dad, you actually agreed to this?",
"Mitch: Yes, I did.",
"Gale: No, Dawson. He's lying to protect me. It was my idea and my suggestion. And yes, I know. I'm a terrible mother, aren't I?",
"Dawson: Th-that's not what I said.",
"Gale: Let's not pretend it's not what you think, honey. It's no lie that I have messed up at being your mother at every turn, that I'm the one that tore your family apart",
"Dawson: wait a-- d-don't use me as the excuse for making this decision. That's not fair.",
"Gale: It's not an excuse, Dawson. No, I sat down, and I considered all the facts. And the fact is... I can't do it again. I can't handle the mistakes. Now, you put that together with the money issues and my age and everything else, and the only answer is... I can't have the baby. Now, honey, maybe you're gonna hate me forever because of this, or maybe you'll never be able to understand, but the fact is... This is my decision, and I have made it. And now this discussion...

"Dawson: Is she really gonna do this?",
"Mitch: Yes.",
"Dawson: What about you? What do you want?",
"Mitch: I don't know what I want. But I do know that I don't want her going through with the pregnancy if it's not the right thing for her to do. Ultimately it's her body, her decision. I respect that.",
"Dawson: What if it's the wrong decision?",
"Mitch: Did I ever tell you that we tried for 3 years to get pregnant before we had you?",
"Dawson: No.",
"Mitch: Yeah. We'd just about given up. And then, after you were born, we tried again. 5 years of hope and disappointment. I had always wanted a big family, you know. A house filled with love and all that. Admitting that it would never happen... That was devastating. But then, one morning, I woke up... I realized that it did happen. My house is filled with love, and my life is full. I don't know. Maybe for the rest of my life, I'll wonder, \"what if?\" But now... I am just so grateful to have you. And your mother.

"Andie: oh, uh, jack, we've got that thing we've gotta do tonight.",
"Caroline: And who are you?",
"Andie: I'm jack's girlfriend.",
"Caroline: Really? I thought you were his sister.",
"Andie: Oh, yeah, um, well, actually, I am. Heh heh! I'm just making sure no one lays a hand on Jackers here, 'cause, uh, Natasha-- that's his girlfriend-- uh, she's a black belt, and she'd get really pissed.",
"Caroline: Really. Natasha? Natasha who?",
"Andie: Natasha...Boyardee.",
"Jack: Natasha Boyardee?",
"Caroline: [Chuckling] look, I really appreciate the overprotective sibling thing. I do. But I think jack here can make his own decisions.",
"Andie: And he's decided. He's not interested.",
"Caroline: Or maybe he's decided that it's none of your business and you should butt out and let him speak for himself.",
"Jack: Ok, you know what? It's just not gonna happen, ok?",
"Caroline: And why is that?",
"Jack: Because.",
"Caroline: That's why? Because?",
"Jack: Because I'm gay. All right?",
"Caroline: Wait a minute. Oh! N--[laughing] you didn't think I meant-- because I knew that. Heh heh! Of course I knew that.",

"Gretchen: Hey.",
"Dawson: Um, thank you for meeting me here. I didn't wanna go to your place for obvious reasons.",
"Gretchen: Understood. What's up?",
"Dawson: My mom is having an abortion. And, uh, I-I'm not sure that I'm dealing with it too well. And on-- on top of that, I feel awful about what they must be going through.",
"Gretchen: Well, what's the problem, really, Dawson? Are you worried about them? Or is it that your illusions of parental infallibility are finally shattered?",
"Dawson: Well, they were pretty much shattered during my mom's affair. But, um... What's your problem?",
"Gretchen: What do you think my problem is, Dawson?",
"Dawson: I think you went through what my mom's going through.",
"Gretchen: Heh. You're good.",
"Dawson: Uh, y-you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.",
"Gretchen: Well, isn't that why you called me here?",
"Dawson: [Exhales] I need to understand why she's doing it. And I know that your situation is probably completely different, but-- I thought you might be able to help me. Otherwise, I never would have brought it up.",
"Gretchen: Heh! It's ok. I get it. You're right. I did get pregnant last semester. In the backseat of my--my boyfriend's Geo Prizm in the dorm parking lot while my roommate was studying for finals. Lynyrd Skynyrd was on the radio. And I hate Lynyrd Skynyrd... Which made me even madder when I found out that I was pregnant. So, there I was, you know, 20 years old, piles of student loans, a--a 2.9 GPA. So I made a decision. It was the hardest decision that I ever made in my life. [Exhales deeply] but it didn't matter, because... A week later, I woke up, and it was over. I had a miscarriage. And you'd think that I'd be happy, you know? But I wasn't. I felt really guilty. You know, for-- for getting off easy, for--for feeling relieved, and for putting myself in a position where I even had to make that kind of a decision.",
"Dawson: Does that mean that your decision was the same as my mom's?",
"Gretchen: Does it really matter?",
"Dawson: No. Thank you.",
"Gretchen: For what?",
"Dawson: For trusting me. I won't tell anyone.",
"Gretchen: I know you won't.",

"Bessie: Nothing. Pass the potatoes.",
"Joey: Not until you tell me what that meant.",
"Bessie: Bodie, dear, will you please pass the potatoes?",
"Joey: You'll get the potatoes when you tell me what that meant, Bess.",
"Bessie: You wanna know what it meant? Fine. It meant either you were at Pacey's having s*x all night or you've started your own mail-order birth-control business out of your bedroom.",
"Joey: I knew it! I can't believe you snooped in my room.",
"Bessie: It was hard to miss, Jo. You've got enough in there to fill a warehouse. And I'll tell you what. I'd lock you in there if it was legal, because you're not ready to have s*x.",
"Joey: Oh, so now you're playing ms. Responsible caretaker? Bessie, you let me spend an entire summer sailing around on a boat with Pacey alone.",
"Bessie: I didn't let you. You just went. What could I have possibly said?",
"Joey: Nothing. Just like there's nothing that you can say about this.",
"Bessie: There is one thing I can say about it, young lady. You're making the biggest mistake of your life.",
"Joey: Bessie, for your information, I'm not having s*x, ok? But at some point, I probably will, and there's nothing you can do to stop me.",
"Bessie: You're a 17-year-old girl who doesn't understand the first thing about consequences and responsibility. You are not ready to have s*x!",
"Joey: I am the oldest 17-year-old in Capeside, Bessie. My whole life is consequences and responsibility, ok? So, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go to my \"birth control warehouse.\"",

"Bodie: I'd say you're right.",
"Joey: So why is she being so irrational?",
"Bodie: Your sister worries about you, Jo... All the time, in fact. She doesn't want you to end up like her. She wants more for you. You know, you're the one who's supposed to get outta here. She just wants to make sure that happens.",
"Joey: I know. I haven't made my decision yet. About s*x, I mean. I... I just thought that if I got prepared, then I would be ready, and then afterwards, I got really scared. And then this morning, I felt like I was ready again, and then... This afternoon, I... I wasn't so sure.",
"Bodie: You know, Jo, I can't tell you what to do. No one can. For now, all I can say is if you're not ready to be prepared for s*x, then you're probably not ready for s*x.",
"[Scene: Dawson's Living Room. Gale and Mitch are sitting together on the couch, when Dawson comes down sstairs he is in somewhat of a hurry when he stops to talk to them.]",
"Dawson: Um... I just got a few minutes before I gotta go to Mr. Brooks', but, um... Uh... I wanted to say something about how I feel about your situation. Mom, you said that when you sat down to make this decision that you considered all the facts. But I think you're forgetting the most important one, and I just want to make sure that you have it before you make your final decision. You are the best mother that I know, and you're wrong if you think you've disappointed me at every turn, mom. All you've done is make me proud. You're not afraid to make mistakes and then to pick up and to keep going and keep trying new things, and I owe so much of who I am to you... To both of you. I... I used to idealize this perfect childhood with this perfect little house, and then... You guys gave me something so much better. You gave me something real. And were I to do it over again, I would not change a thing. And if you guys are even half the parents to your next kid that you were to me, he would be the luckiest kid in the whole world.",

"Joey: Let's turn it down a notch. I mean, if that's what you want, I respect that.",
"Pacey: Oh... Well... Thanks.",
"Joey: Perhaps you were hoping that if you turn the tables on me, I might get paranoid, 'cause I'm always the one that's stopping things, and now, suddenly, you're stopping things, so maybe I need to go further, maybe even, you know, pay a visit to the free clinic, stock up on goodies, and bring 'em back here, and then we'd have s*x.",
"Pacey: Wait a minute. Did you actually go to the free clinic to stock up on goodies?",
"Joey: I can neither confirm nor deny such reports.",
"Pacey: All right, hold on. Uh, Jo... I really was-- I was just kinda kidding about the whole thing. All I wanted to do was to jump-start the conversation.",
"Joey: I'm actually really glad that I went. So it's... You know, it's fine.",
"Pacey: No, it's really not ok. I don't want to make you do anything that you're not ready to do.",
"Joey: I know. And, Pacey, I get it. Just as long as you realize that if you do turn into some typical hormone-filled, silly-ass boy and try to manipulate me again, I'm out the door.",

"Joey: I know. You know, pace, just because we're not having s*x yet, it... Well, there are certain things that we can do.",

"Andie: Come on, jack, it's not like it's a big secret. Anyone can find out if they want to.",

"Andie: Wh--ok, now that is ridiculous, jack, because you did the right thing. I mean, the alternative is not to tell people who you are, and who wants to live like that? And besides which, you are great with these kids. So what you need to do is stick with the coaching and just stop worrying about the parents and their stupid hang-ups, ok? Because it will blow over.",
"Jack: But I'm a good person, Andie. When people look at me, they see something awful. Do you know how that feels?",

"Dawson: You know, Mr. Brooks, I actually think I'm doing a pretty good job.",
"Mr. Brooks: We all have our illusions. Ah, I see you've been hard at work adding to your collection. Ah, trite. A naked attempt to evoke sentiment. Why not just shoot a photo of a puppy in garbage can, huh? Hmm.",
"[He stops at one of the pictures.]",
"Dawson: \"Hmm\"? That's the best scathing criticism you can muster?",
"Mr. Brooks: Sometimes honesty is scathing, Dawson. I can't help that. But this last one... Ah... This last one is actually not bad. It's the first picture that makes a connection with the subject, as if you're not only shooting her melancholy but your own. This is the first one I've seen with a bit of you in it. This one has potential. I don't see you painting, Mr. Leery.",

"[Dawson gets up and grabs his book of pictures and opens it to the picture he was talking about. It is a picture of Gretchen.

Then into a scene with Joey washing the dishes when Bessie comes up from behind and takes the dish from her hand and begins drying it. They just look at each other and smile. Then the scene fades to Dawson in his Dark Room, developing pictures, and he takes one of Gretchen out of the solution and just looks at it. Then the scene fades into Gale sitting at the kitchen table looking at some pictures when Mitch comes up to join her.

"Andie: Hey, you know what might be fun?",
"Jen: Uh, what?",
"Andie: Start focusing on schools that are in New York since it's your old hood.",

"Jen: Huh! Well, as you're so fond of pointing out, I--I haven't recently decided anything.",
"Andie: Well, what about your rush to rejoin the gang at the, uh, haunt?",
"Jen: Has drew been whispering in your ear?",
"Andie: Well, actually, we did have a little confab at the yacht club last week. He was telling me all about you and your social set and how you guys used to spend all of your time at the haunt dancing and drinking until the wee hours of the morning. According to him, it was a non-stop ball of fun.",

And you've been here for a while, and I bet your little voices are screaming. Oh, by the by, uh, that night I went back for the, uh, ecstasy I gave you-- it's a funny thing. Both you and it were gone. Now, I know where you are",
"Jen: you're such a b*st*rd.",

"Andie: Are you sure you wanna go, because I'm starting to feel really guilty about twisting your arm, and if you don't wanna go, I totally understand.",
"Jen: Mm-mmm. No, no, I want to celebrate with you.",
"Andie: Good, because I think we're gonna have so much fun, and I think that is exactly what we need-- is to have fun. But first, the facilities.",
"[She goes to the bathroom and Jen goes over to her dresser. Jen opens the top drawer and digs around and pulls out the box of Ecstasy that Drue gave her. She opens the box and puts the pills in her hand and is looking at them when Andie comes into her room.]",
"Andie: figured while I'm in there, I might as well slap on a little bit of that lip-- ahem. Are those some kind of pills?",
"Jen: Yeah. Um, some kind of pills.",
"Andie: We're not talking aspirin, are we?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Driving to the Map Point. The Mitch Mobile is going along the road. Gretchen and Dawson are sitting in the front seats, and Pacey and Joey are in the back seat.]",
"Gretchen: You know what just went through my mind? That fourth of July in Cohasset. That was the last time all of us were in a car together. God, you guys were such babies. How old were you, Pacey?",
"Pacey: I don't know, I don't remember.",
"Dawson: We were 11. You were 14.",
"Gretchen: And you were wearing something red. Is it possible that I remember that?",
"Dawson: Unfortunately, yeah.",
"[Gretchen and Dawson laughing]",
"[Scene: The Park along the water line. Andie and Jen are walking along the waterfront and walk over to the swing set.]",
"Andie: ecstasy, wow! So have you done a lot of it?",
"Jen: Yeah, in New York. I never went to a rave without it, and I went to a lot of raves.",
"Andie: Mm-hmm! So you must've liked what it did for you. I mean, otherwise, you wouldn't have kept taking it, right?",
"Jen: Well, yeah, I mean-- first few times, it's amazing. It's hard not to love the x-effect.",
"Andie: Which is what, exactly?",
"Jen: Whew. Heh! What's with all the questions?",
"Andie: I'm just curious. You know, a way to pass the time until jack gets out of that never-ending meeting.",
"Jen: All right. Um, god. The first time you do X, it's really good. You get this feeling of loving everybody and everything, and everybody loves you and... That can be really powerful. X just made me happy. It just... Provided a pleasant vacation from my usual spot under the bell jar.",
"Andie: So x makes you happy?",
"Jen: Heh heh! Mmm, all kinds of wonderful.",
"Andie: That doesn't sound so bad.",
"Jen: Yeah, it's not at first. See, it lasts about 6 hours and then it's gone. And afterward, ironically, you're more depressed than when you started. The bad thing, like with any drug, it makes you lose your inhibitions. That's why I stopped. I just-- I just didn't know who I was anymore.",
"Andie: Can I see it? Come on, I'm just, you know, I'm curious. I wanna see what they look like.",
"Jen: Heh! Andie, you're way too interested.",
"[He hands her the box]",
"Andie: I'm just interested in feeling happy.",
"Jen: Wait a minute. Didn't you just get in to Harvard?",
"Andie: Yep. And one would think that finally getting the one thing that you wanted your entire life, you'd experience one moment of sheer joy, but",
"Jen: no moment? You wanna talk about what you are feeling?",
"Andie: Nope. Because that's all I ever do is talk and talk. Tonight, I just wanna have fun. I wanna leave my problems behind in a little field and pick them up tomorrow. I don't know. I-- I'm sure it's just some kind of weird delayed reaction thing, and I'm gonna feel happy soon. Yeah. It's just",
"Jen: you will.",
"[Jen holds her hand out for the box, but at that moment Jack walks up to them, and she quickly pulls her hand back, and Andie hides the box.]",
"Jack: Oh, my god. Insufferable. I cannot wait to dance this soccer stuff right out of my head! What, did I, uh, interrupt something?",
"Andie: No. Uh, just girl talk.",
"Jack: Mm-hmm. Well, I'm glad you stopped when I got here. Shall we, uh, vamanos?",
"Andie: Yeah.",
"[Jen tries to get the box back, but Andie puts it in her back pocket.]",
"[Scene: The Map Point. They finally arrive, to find it a driveway to an dark area, that is blocked off by a chain. They will have to walk the rest of the way.]",
"Dawson: Could they make this any creepier?",
"Gretchen: I'll be your map point buddy. Come on.",
"[Gretchen and Dawson get out of the car.]",
"Pacey: When did they become going-out-together buddies?",
"Joey: I believe this is the inaugural event.",
"Pacey: So, then of all the guys in Capeside that wanna befriend her, she picks Dawson. That doesn't bother you at all?",
"Joey: Pace, he's the only person close to her age working at the restaurant. Makes perfect sense that they'd become friends.",
"Pacey: No. I asked if it bothered you.",
"Joey: No. It doesn't bother me.",
"Pacey: Tsk! It bothers you.",
"Joey: Heh! No, it doesn't bother me. It bothers you. You just want it to bother me, too.",
"Pacey: So then what's bothering you?",
"Joey: You.",
"[Laughs]",
"[Scene: The Map Point. Dawson and Gretchen come walking up to a guy standing alone on the drive.]",
"Guy: Now, why are you here?",
"Gretchen: To have a great night?",
"Guy: Exactly! Right on! All right, um, 5 bucks a body.",
"Dawson: We'll take 4.",
"Guy: Follow the yellow brick road.",
"Gretchen: Now that I have you alone, tell me, is it just a front, or are you really ok with the Joey-Pacey component of the evening?",
"Dawson: Uh, it's a little awkward, I'm not gonna lie, but you know what? I'm in too good of a mood to let it bother me.",
"Gretchen: Is that why you changed your mind?",
"Dawson: Uh...Yeah. Actually, um, my parents decided to have the baby.",
"Gretchen: Wow! Oh, Dawson, that's incredible.",
"Dawson: Good, good. I wanted to tell you right away, but in light of-- you know, I--I didn't wanna ruin the evening.",
"Gretchen: Oh, no. No, you can absolutely talk to me about this. You have to.",
"Dawson: Ok. Good, because I--I-- I really wanted to share it with somebody, and-- I am so excited about this.",
"Gretchen: As you should be. I mean, hey, as irritating as they are, younger siblings do have their pluses. You know, they're good for doing chores, and there's always someone to blame if anything gets broken.",
"[Both laugh]",
"Dawson: um, thank you. For sharing what you went through. It really helped me understand what my parents were going through from the right perspective.",
"Gretchen: Yeah, well, if there's anything I'm good for, it's a little attitude adjustment.",
"[Scene: The Rave Parking lot. Andie, Jack, and Jen pull in to park. Jack gets out of the car first, kind of excited.]",
"Jack: Heh heh heh! Come on! Aw, man, this is awesome! Rave time has arrived!",
"Jen: Hey, Andie, um, were we done back there at the park?",
"Andie: Totally done.",
"Jen: All right. So, you're ok?",
"Andie: I am so ok. Actually, I feel really great.",
"Jen: Well, why don't you give me back the X? Jack won't see.",
"Andie: Um, Jen? Don't be mad, but I sort of took one.",
"Jen: Andie, no. W-when?",
"Andie: Well, before we got back to the car, I just decided-- you know, carpe diem.",
"Jen: Andie, no, this is so not good for you.",
"Andie: But you said it was amazing the first few times. And I think I've earned an amazing night, right? I'll pay you back. I mean, whatever it cost. Is it a lot?",
"Jen: No, Andie, I don't care about the money. I care about you.",
"Andie: That's so sweet, Jen. But I told you, I'm feeling fine. Um, look, can we not tell jack about this? Because I don't think he'd approve.",
"Jen: Yeah.",
"Andie: Ok, come on.",
"[Scene: The entrance of the Rave. Gretchen, Dawson, Joey and Pacey walk up to find Drue standing there.]",
"Drue: Ha ha! Right on! You guys are so not the squares I thought you were. Hi there. We haven't met.",
"Andie: I don't have a problem with that.",
"Drue: Ho ho ho! Ooh! Ouch!",
"[Joey and Pacey are hugging, and She laughs at Drue's discomfort.]",
"Joey: Somebody's out celebrating.",
"Andie: Yep!",
"Gretchen: What are we celebrating?",
"Joey: Andie got into Harvard.",
"Drue: Which explains your sudden, desperate need to focus on your future.",
"Jen: I really don't need you tonight.",
"Pacey: You did it, just like you always said you would.",
"[He hugs Andie.]",
"Drue: Wow, Potter. How cool are you? You don't mind that lasted just a split second longer then the ex-guidelines allow?",
"Gretchen: Who is that guy?",
"Dawson: Did you ever meet Abby Morgan?",
"[Scene: Inside the Rave. They all enter. Dawson and Gretchen go off together. Pacey and Joey, Andie, Jack and Jen are following after them.]",
"Andie: Wow, Jen! This place is so beautiful! [Techno music playing]",
"[Gretchen and Dawson Walk off. Gretchen starts dancing and walking at the same time.]",
"Gretchen: Wow. Whoo!",
"Jen: Ok, um, Andie, petting Joey? Not a good way to maintain a low profile. I want you to enjoy this, but you're gonna have to try and maintain, especially around the people that you're gonna see come Monday morning.",
"Andie: I'm ok, Jen, really! You don't have to worry about me. I'm feeling fine.",
"Jen: I'm sure you are. Listen, Andie, I really wanna keep an eye on you tonight, so you're gonna have to work with me and stick by me.",
"Andie: You're the best, Jen! [Giggles] ooh! I never knew your hair was so soft.",
"Jen: Ok, Andie. Again, not in the realm of maintaining. You've gotta try harder for me, please?",
"Jack: There are wild people everywhere. This is exactly the kind of reckless abandonment you need.",
"Drue: Which of you Mcphees is going to dance?",
"Andie: Me! I wanna!",
"Drue: Right on, sister. Come on this way.",
"Jen: Um, do me a big favor? I want you to keep an eye on Drue and Andie for me, all right?",
"Jack: Why?",
"Jen: Just trust me. He's not the kind of guy that you leave your sister with.",
"[Commercial Break.]",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Inside the Rave. Joey and Gretchen are at one of the bars talking to one another.]",
"Gretchen: I'm sorry about the Dawson snafu. When I invited him, he said no. It didn't even occur to me that he would change his mind.",
"Joey: That's ok. I'm-- I'm kind of glad that we all ended up together. I mean, accidental or not, things have been getting better. Slowly.",
"Gretchen: I'm glad to hear that. The three of you have so much history. And Dawson's such a great guy.",
"Joey: Speaking of Dawson, um, and I know this is none of my business, is there possibly, even in the vaguest way, um, well, something happening with you and Dawson?",
"Gretchen: Heh heh! Where exactly did that come from?",
"Joey: Well, obviously you're aware of his incredibly infamous crush on you.",
"Gretchen: Yeah, the one that ended when he was, like, 12.",
"Joey: Well, um, you see, Gretchen, um, Dawson has this, um, way of hanging on to things since he was, like, 12. You know, I mean, sure he outgrows them, puts them in their proper perspective, but that doesn't always mean that they're gone. Sometimes I think they're just waiting around for the right moment to come out again and... Well, maybe if he thinks there's the slightest chance",
"Gretchen: You know what I think? If Dawson is waiting for some childhood crush to come around again, he's not waiting on me.",
"[Scene: Inside the Rave. Drue and Andie are dancing together.]",
"Drue: Andie Mcphee, you are so high.",
"Andie: Me?! No, I'm not.",
"Drue: Yeah. Really? [He strokes her neck and she totally enjoys it.] Yeah, feels good, don't it?",
"Andie: No, shh! I'm supposed to be maintaining. Nobody knows except Jen, and she's gonna make sure I'm ok tonight.",
"Drue: Yeah, Andie, look. Honey, take my word for this, ok? I am a far, far better guide through the looking glass then Jen Lindley could ever be. Ok? Come on, ivy league, let's have fun.",
"[Scene: Outside the Rave. Pacey is sitting on a couch outside, when Joey comes out finally finding him, and walks over to join him.]",
"Joey: You know you're violating the sacred buddy system. No one ventures out alone, remember?",
"Pacey: Yeah, well, I would've stayed in there, but I was really intimidated by all the intricate steps necessary to enjoy the most tuneless music known to man.",
"Joey: I, too, felt a little out of place, you know, not having dressed in what could only be described as an homage to Japanese animation.",
"Pacey: So, why are we here?",
"Joey: We're trying something new.",
"Pacey: Yeah, which only really serves to let me know how much I enjoyed the old.",
"Joey: Hmm! Me, too. But I am glad we came. I mean, if nothing else, to witness the wasted youth of America firsthand.",
"Pacey: And it ain't pretty. But you, Madame, most certainly are. Mmm! Mmm!",
"[They Kiss]",
"Joey: Heh heh heh! Remember how we used to play barnacle for your thoughts?",
"Pacey: Yes.",
"Joey: Well, I don't exactly have a barnacle on me, but I could offer you this lovely glow necklace.",
"Pacey: Oh, which I would gladly accept.",
"[He puts it on his head.]",
"Joey: Oh! Gives you that whole Caesar look again. So, I did my part, and I think now you're supposed to tell me something deep and profound.",
"Pacey: You wanna hear something deep and profound, huh? I miss true love, Joey. I mean, right now, sitting under the stars, my arm around you, let me tell you... I miss true love something fierce.",
"Joey: I miss her, too, Pacey. Hmm.",
"[Scene: Inside the Rave. Dawson finds Gretchen as she is walking down the stairs. She is deep in thought when he comes up carrying a glow necklace.]",
"Dawson: Hey. Glow necklace? All the cool kids seem to be wearing them. No? If you don't like the color, I'd be more than happy to exchange it. They've got others.",
"Gretchen: No, it's great. Thanks.",
"Dawson: Is something wrong?",
"Gretchen: Ok. There's no easy way to say this, so I'm just gonna put it out there. Is it possible, even in the vaguest way, that you're here because you think there's a chance something might be happening between us?",
"Dawson: I think there is something happening between us. It's called friendship.",
"Gretchen: And that's all you expect?",
"Dawson: Did I do something to make you think I expected more?",
"Gretchen: No. No, sorry. This is so out of the blue, I feel ridiculous that I even mentioned it.",
"Dawson: Don't feel ridiculous. It's no secret that at one point in my life I would have killed for you to even acknowledge that I was in a room, let alone hang out with you. But, uh... I don't think that's where either one of us are at right now.",
"Gretchen: So where are we at?",
"Dawson: Um... Well... When that boat sailed last summer, I didn't just lose Joey. I lost my 2 best friends. But, you know, you move on, and... And if you're lucky, you make new friends like you. You're easy to talk to. You give really good advice. But, uh... I don't expect anything, you know? It's just the opposite, really. It's just... God, it's really nice to just be in the present with somebody.",
"Gretchen: Ok. Ok? Dance or bounce?",
"Dawson: Bounce?",
"[Laughing]",
"[Scene: Inside the Rave. Pacey and Joey walk in to find Drue and Andie. Andie goes up and hugs Pacey.]",
"Andie: oh, my god! Hi! It's you guys! I love you guys! Mmm!",
"Drue: [Chuckling] she's feeling the love.",
"Joey: Apparently. [Giggling] yeah, Andie, I think you've done enough hugging tonight.",
"Andie: I just wanted to show you guys how much I love you both. You guys are so good together! And, Joey, you are so nice! Well, except for the time when you dumped Dawson for Pacey. That was pretty cold. But, really, who can blame you? I mean, it's Pacey. [Giggles] I pretend not to care, but I have to admit, pace, you are the love of my life, and I am so not over you! I hope it's ok that I said that. I mean, we're all really good friends, so it shouldn't be that big of a secret, right?",
"Joey: It's news to me, Andie.",
"Andie: You totally don't have to worry. Pacey is so over me and such the faithful type. If only I had been-- maybe we'd still be together.",
"Pacey: Andie, are you feeling ok?",
"Andie: Oh, yeah. [Laughs] I feel great. And I just got into Harvard! Oh! We're gonna go bounce. Come with us! It'll be fun. Come on!",
"Pacey: No. You guys go ahead.",
"Andie: Ok! Ok. Let's go! [Giggles]",
"[Scene: Inside the Rave. Jack is dancing with 2 girls when Jen comes up finally finding him.]",
"Jen: jack. Jack! Jack!",
"Jack: What, what?",
"Jen: Hey. Hey, where'd everybody go?",
"Jack: Jen, I want you to meet Holly and Liz.",
"Jen: Right. Hi. Listen, can you just point me to where Andie went, general direction?",
"Jack: I don't know. I lost track of her when I started hanging out with these guys. I don't know where they went.",
"Jen: I asked you to do one thing-- one little thing.",
"Jack: I don't know.",
"Jen: Come on, we're gonna go find her.",
"Jack: I--[grumbles] see you guys later. [He is dragged away by Jen.] Hey, what, uh, what is with you? I thought you were like this major Raver. All you seem to be doing is monitoring Andie.",
"Jen: I'm just making sure she's all right.",
"Jack: Why wouldn't she be?",
"Jen: Let's just find her.",
"[Scene: A large Moon Walk at the Rave. Dawson and Gretchen are bouncing around in it together, when They finally fall over. ]",

"Dawson: Whoa!",
"[Dawson landing on top of Gretchen.]",
"Gretchen: Hey, this is a no-parking zone, buddy. Move it.",
"Dawson: Here.",
"[Dawson gets up and helps her up. Drue and Andie comes up to join them.]",
"Andie: Hey, you guys, can we come bounce?",
"Dawson: Yeah. Plenty of room.",
"Andie: Thanks! Whoo hoo hoo! Hi there. Wow, this is so much fun! It's like a big gang bounce! I'm having so much fun with Drue and you and Dawson!",
"[They all bounce around. Andie stops bouncing for a minute, because the lights, noise, and everything is starting to get to her. She start to wobble around, and Dawson notices her.]",
"Dawson: You ok? You don't look so good, Andie.",
"Andie: I'm getting a little bit of a headache. Let's sit this one out. Drue?",
"Dawson: Rest for a minute. You'll be fine.",

"Dawson: I don't know. She just collapsed.",

"Jack: We need some help here. It's my sister. We were in the moon bounce, and she just collapsed.",
"Paramedic: What's she on?",
"Jack: Uh, an antidepressant, Nardil, I think.",
"Paramedic: No. What is she on?",
"Jen: X. She took a tab of ecstasy.",
"Paramedic: With Nardil? How bad is it?",
"Paramedic2: Temp's 103. Bp 190 over 110.",

"Jen: Please let me come with you.",

"Jack: what does it matter? You gave my sister drugs, Jen! Should be you in this ambulance.",
"[The ambulance leaves and Dawson walks up to Jen.]",
"Dawson: Do you, uh... You need a ride to the hospital?",
"Jen: No. No, I should probably just go home.",
"Dawson: Ok. [He turns to the others.] Let's go, guys.",

"Drue: How is she?",
"Jen: Not good. Really not good.",
"Drue: Come on. I'll take you home.",
"[Scene: Outside Jen's House. Jen and Drue are walking up to her porch talking to each other.]",
"Jen: At the park, all the warning signs were there. I don't know why I didn't see it.",
"Drue: She took the stuff. It's not your fault.",
"Jen: Drue, I practically stamped a-m-a approved on it. I should have known better. I mean, forget her medication, she could have gone down for any number of reasons, and it still would have been my fault.",
"Drue: Andie is responsible for her own choices, even her bad ones. Why are you so interested in playing the martyr here?",
"Jen: Does nothing faze you? Andie's my friend, and she's in the hospital right now because of something she got from me, and you don't think that I should feel bad?",
"Drue: You want something to feel bad about? How about the way your \"friends\" iced you?",
"Jen: I hate... I hate the way you twist everything.",
"Drue: Hate it all you want. The truth still is, no matter what Andie tells them, Monday at school they're gonna treat you like this is your fault. You came here the banished bad seed, Jen. That's all you'll ever be to them. You know what? They want you to play that role so that they can feel better about the pathetic, plastic, Mayberry existence they're living.",
"Jen: And I thought that I was damaged.",
"Drue: You are. So am I. And that's why we need each other. We're coming from the same place here, Jen.",
"Jen: No, Drue. We came from the same place, but now we're miles apart, and I intend to keep it that way. I'm gonna call my friend and see how she's doing.",

"Jack: You get him?",
"Dawson: Taken care of.",
"Jack: Thanks.",
"Gretchen: How's Andie?",
"Jack: Uh...She's, uh, she's stable now. They said that she went into some kind of hypertensive crisis. See, Andie's on this older type of antidepressant, and it turns out it's, you know, it's a time bomb when it's mixed with the wrong thing. So, uh... In a way I guess, uh, we're pretty lucky the way things turned out, that she didn't, um... God, she could have died. They want to, um, they want to keep her overnight, so...I know she appreciates you guys being here and everything, but... I don't think she's in the mood for visitors right now. So maybe you should just go home, give her a call tomorrow, see how she's feeling.",
"Gretchen: You're right. I'm sure she needs her rest. I think we do, too.",
"Jack: Yeah. So...I'll see you guys tomorrow.",
"[Jack walks back into the room.]",
"Gretchen: Are you ok, pace?",
"Pacey: No. No. I should have known that something was wrong. I mean, I knew. I just didn't know how bad it was.",
"Dawson: Even if you had realized, there's nothing you could have done.",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Pacey: I think I want to stay here tonight... If that's ok.",
"Joey: Completely. You want company?",

"Gretchen: Me, too.",
"Dawson: So, uh... Good night. See you at work.",
"Gretchen: All right. Dawson.",
"Dawson: Yeah?",
"Gretchen: Your friendship means a lot to me, too. Coming back here has been really hard, and somehow you've made the transition a lot more enjoyable than I ever thought it could be.",
"Dawson: Good. That's what friends are for.",
"Gretchen: Well, good night.",
"Dawson: Good night.",
"[Scene: Standing in front of the Mitch Mobile. Joey is standing there when Dawson comes walking back.]",

"Andie: I'm sorry, daddy. I really am.",
"Mr. Mcphee: I'm not mad, Andie.",
"Jack: I am. The--the three of us, we, um... We need each other. You can't do stupid things like this, Andie. You just can't. I mean, think about what our family's been through already.",
"Andie: I know. I'm sorry. I know it was stupid. It's the stupidest thing I've ever done. I don't know. It's just... I wanted to feel something, you know? Anything.",
"Mr. Mcphee: It's ok. We'll get through this as long as we can communicate, you know, as... A family. You have to tell us what you're going through. No more secrets.",

"Pacey: Ok. Hey. It's a...25-cent coffee from the machine, so don't get your hopes up.",
"Mr. Mcphee: Thank you.",
"Andie: You stayed.",
"Pacey: Well, you know, I didn't have anything better to do, so I figured I'd just stay and bug you.",
"Andie: You're not bugging me. About the things that I said, Pacey...",
"Pacey: Hey, don't worry about what you said. Doesn't matter. What matters now is that you're ok.",
"Andie: Thanks.",
"[Scene: A pier on the creek. Joey and Dawson walk to the end of it during the sunrise and stop at the end of it.]",
"Dawson: It doesn't seem right to have such a beautiful sunrise after the night we just had.",
"Joey: I can't shake the way that Andie looked when they put her in that ambulance.",
"Dawson: It's scary how things can turn so bad so fast.",
"Joey: It's scary how real everything's been this year, you know? Jen and Pacey in the storm, and Andie tonight... Does make you kinda realize that any one of us could go at any moment for the stupidest of reasons.",
"Dawson: Yeah. I remember when parties used to be bowling and birthday cakes, you know? Now they're high-risk adventures that can actually kill you. Another perk of growing up in the new millennium.",
"Joey: You know, less than a year, Dawson, and we'll all be outta here.",
"Dawson: Yeah.",
"Joey: It's really sad to think that after 18 years of living down the creek from each other, there's gonna be no one rowing our boats anymore.",
"Dawson: Well, I wouldn't put our boats in dry-dock just yet.",
"Joey: You have plans for our boats?",
"Dawson: I do. I think you should give yours to Alexander, because I'm gonna be giving mine to my new brother or sister.",
"Joey: That's why gale's been so sick lately? She's pregnant?",
"Dawson: Mm-hmm.",
"Joey: Congratulations! Oh, my god! Well, you know, Capeside wouldn't be Capeside without a little leery running around.",
"Dawson: Or rowing across the creek to get to your house.",
"Joey: Sounds weird, but hearing that, makes me feel",
"Dawson: old?",

"Dawson: You did pretty well for 3 months.",

"While Andie is recovering from her near-fatal drug overdose at the party, Jack is blaming Jen for the whole incident and is refusing to talk to her. Jen blames Drue for her life falling apart when he turns Grams and the whole town against her by telling everyone that they intentionally gave Andie the drugs. After Andie comes home from the hospital her dad offers her the chance to spend the rest of the school year in Italy with her aunt, telling her that she has more than enough credits to graduate. Andie decides to go and plans a goodbye dinner with the whole gang. She tells them how important life is and not to waste valuable time with useless bickering. Jack and Jen get things straight and Andie tricks Dawson and Pacey into playing nice with each other."

"Joey: I'm seriously considering just running away and joining the circus.",
"Advisor: Well...What do you say we keep that one as a fallback? Ok? I know this college application process can be pretty daunting, Joey, but you... Are well ahead of the game. Except for... Williams College. I'm missing your peer recommendation from \"the person who knows you best.\"",
"Joey: Right. [Clears throat]",
"Advisor: you've got the easy part. You just have to pick someone.",
"Joey: Mm-hmm.",
"Advisor: Is that gonna be a problem?",

"Pacey: Andie, if our high school didn't have a history of forgiving stupidity, how do you think I'd be able to walk down the halls, huh?",
"Andie: You know, you guys have been really good about coming to visit me. But, uh, you've all been alone. Nobody's talkin' about the other night, and no one's talking to each other.",
"Pacey: Well, yeah, we're not the most huggy of groups right now. I mean, our previously fractured circle of friends has just gone and fractured itself again.",
"Andie: You mean Jen and Jack.",
"Pacey: No, I mean everybody.",
"Andie: That's ridiculous, because we all talked about this.",
"Pacey: Well, you talked about it. You gave me the whole \"two to tango\" speech, but so far as I can tell, every tango needs someone to lead.",
"Andie: And why is everybody so insistent that that person has to be Jen? I told you. It's not her fault. Ok. I'm gonna fix this. I'm just gonna get ahold of her and--",
"Pacey: Why? Honestly. Why, Andie? I mean... Maybe not all friendships need to be saved. Maybe we're meant to just spend a certain part of our lives with certain people and then move on. Isn't that what this whole year is supposed to be about anyway--movin' on?",

"Dawson: [Chuckling] please, Mr. Brooks. Your heaping praise for a job well done could swell a young man's head.",
"Mr. Brooks: Two things about that statement trouble me, Mr. Leery. You used the word \"well\" and the word \"done.\" \"Well\" would imply that your brush strokes don't streak all to hell, and \"done\" would suggest that your work here's complete, neither of which could be further from the truth.",
"Dawson: What do you",
"Mr. Brooks: cheap paint, applied by even cheaper labor, wouldn't even come close to covering the cost to repair what you and your friends did to my boat.",
"Dawson: I understand that from your point of view what we did was",
"Mr. Brooks: illegal.",
"Dawson: Right. But, look, it was a matter of life and death.",
"Mr. Brooks: Well, compared to that, what's a little matter of whitewashing my fence?",
"Dawson: Well, there's... [Chuckles]... The issue of my untouched applications for higher learning.",
"Mr. Brooks: Ha ha! Believe me, Mr. Leery, from my observations, it isn't gonna be all that high.",
"Dawson: Look, the thing is, I just don't have the time.",
"Mr. Brooks: You're a resourceful lad. After all, you found time to steal a boat when you needed to. Now, if you want me to honor my promise not to press charges, you need to honor yours by workin' off your debt. All right?",

"Drue: And what understanding might that be?",
"Jen: That the best thing that you could do for me and the rest of civilization would be curl up and die.",
"Drue: Normally, I'd welcome a round of banter, but there's somethin' we need to address. I've been gettin' the vibe from your friends that they think I'm a bad influence on you. We can't have them not wanting to play with me. How will I occupy my time?",
"Jen: Drue, because of you, my friends aren't even speaking to me.",
"Drue: Not even the precious Jack?",
"Jen: [Slams locker] That is none of your business.",
"Drue: You're right. Never mix business with pleasure. And nothing gives me more pleasure than to see you and the rest of your buddies all conflicted. Frankly, I didn't think it'd actually be this easy. And yet, here you are, avoiding all of them and talking to me. It's startin' to feel just like old times, huh?",
"Jen: This is nothin' like old times, Drue.",
"Drue: You know, no matter what or who you did, I've always been there with you, not pretending to be and then judgin' you afterwards. Can you say the same about your new friends?",
"Jen: I can say this much. I don't care if every friend that I have in Capeside never speaks to me again. I will not look to you for solace or support... Ever.",

That's not somethin' I thought you'd ever do. But then again... [Chuckles]... I guess I've been, uh... Makin' that mistake about a lot of people these days.",

"Jen: Well, if you didn't, then",

"Jen: Come on, Jack, what do you want? You want to just be angry, fine. But...I mean, at some point, you're gonna have to tell me how to fix this. You want me to say \"sorry\"? I have. I've apologized for making a mistake... For--for poor judgment. I've apologized for things that I don't even think were really my fault. I'm 17, and...I... I just--I did something stupid. But when you--when you're close to somebody and they do something unexplained or out of character... You don't--you don't just abandon them. You, of all people, should understand. It's killing me what you're doing. You may not ever do what I did, but what you're doing right now, I can tell you, I would never do to anybody, e-especially you.",

"Dawson: Yeah. Yeah. Something tells me you didn't come all the way over here just to help me carry paint, so... Did you finally realize how wrong it is I've been working off our debt to Mr. Brooks all by myself?",

"Dawson: You know what? I'm gonna take this outside.",
"Mr. Brooks: Oh, yeah, well, that's why your friends never come over here and help you. You don't face your issues, leery. You just take 'em outside. You keep doin' that, you're gonna end up doin' a hell of a lot more than just painting alone.",
"Dawson: [Snickers] well, what about you? You got a whole wall full of photographs, full of people who I've never seen before. Who--who are they? You once critiqued my photography, saying I didn't have enough life in my pictures. I would say you've got the opposite problem. Where are these pictures in your life?",
"[Mr. Brooks stands up and walks over to where Dawson is holding the picture.]",
"Mr. Brooks: My brothers. 30 years ago, they came to me asking for money to start their own business. My gut was screaming no. Didn't feel right. Timing was not the best, but they needed me. And even though your gut said no... I invested a lot. The business lost a lot, and so did I.

"Pacey: Well, that's... Quite an offer.",
"Andie: Yeah. And I know why he's making it. I mean, obviously, because of last week, he's worried, but... Also we talked about it. You know? I mean we really talked about this, and... It's just different this time.",
"Pacey: So, what does Jack have to say about all this?",
"Andie: I thought he was gonna be the first one to volunteer to help me pack up. Right? But instead, he... He gives me all these sound arguments and reasons for why I should stay. You know, he left once, too.",

"Andie: So my father wants what's best for my health, my brother is being selfish out of love.",

"Andie: Well, then why can't I save myself now? Why is making this decision so hard? You know, maybe Jack is right. Maybe going to Italy is running away.",
"Pacey: From what?",
"Andie: From everything! Taking the easy way out. Packing up when life hits a rough patch.",
"Pacey: Or...Maybe this is exactly what you need... To have the strength, the will, to take off the training wheels and...Try riding on your own for a while.",
"Andie: I don't know if I can do that, Pacey. I mean, a lot of what's been happening is because of me. And what are people gonna think if?",
"Pacey: Andie. You can. You spend way too much time worryin' about everybody else. We all do. But at the end of the day, it's your life. It's not your dad's, it's not Jack's, it's not mine. It's yours, and you get to live it. So you're the tiebreaker, Andie.",

And I could only help but dream of us pickin' up pieces of trash on the roadside and how that city-provided orange jumpsuit would just hug you in all the right places.",
"Jen: Drue, you forget that I know you. You did this to look better to everybody else, to protect that inner iago of yours. But I think that you'll find that no amount of apologizing is good enough for these people once they've made up their minds about who you are.",

"[He hands her back the Peer Recommendation.]",

"Joey: I know this tone, and it signifies the start of a really nasty conversation, but you know what? It takes two to have one, and I'm not up for sparring. Not over this.",
"Pacey: Ah. So. Now you get to decide what it is that we talk through, but you also get to decide what it is that we let slide, huh? Were you ever gonna tell me about this?",

"Pacey: Ok. Look. [Chuckles] if you're angry with me for how much time I was spending with Andie-- look.",
"Joey: Pacey-- that's not it. Ok? I was just waiting to see if he'd agree to do it in the first place before world war-- where are we now? 15? And if you're upset that I asked him, Pacey... It's because it was the question. You know, third grade, Dawson was there when I broke my left arm jumping off Peter Masik's backyard swing. He was there the night I came home early from Lake Emandal because I was homesick. And he was there the day that I had to wear that horrific training bra for the first time, and... The day that my mom passed away, you know, he was the first one to come through the door, and he sat with me the whole day, and he never once asked me how I was doing because he, unlike everyone else, he knew me well enough to know that there weren't words to describe how I was doing. So you...Really, pace... You can't be angry with me for asking him.",
"Pacey: I'm not angry that you asked Dawson to do something for you. It's the question. \"The person who knows you best.\" When do I get to be that person?",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Outside the Leery Fish House. Dawson is walking up to it, when he runs into Joey walking the same direction.]",
"Joey: Dawson? You look pretty swank for fish duty tonight.",
"Dawson: Uh...Thank you.",
"Joey: Did your mom enlist your services for this evening?",
"Dawson: No. Actually, I'm a paying customer tonight. I'm having dinner with Andie.",
"Joey: That's strange, 'cause... I'm having dinner with Andie.",
"Dawson: Really.",
"[Jack comes up to join them.]",
"Jack: Hey, guys.",
"Dawson: Let me guess. Dinner with Andie?",
"Jack: Yeah. How'd you know?",
"[They go inside to find Pacey sitting at a table.]",
"Dawson: [Chuckles uncertainly] Pacey.",
"Joey: What's goin' on? Where's Andie?",
"Pacey: She's in the bathroom perfecting the answer to your first question.",
"Jack: Wh-what's this all about?",
"Pacey: I don't know. Don't shoot the diner. I'm a guest, just like you.",
"[Andie comes out of the bathroom]",
"Andie: Hey, guys. Thanks for coming.",
"Pacey: So...Now that we're all here, why are we here?",
"Andie: You'll find out shortly. We're just waiting for one person.",
"Pacey: Andie, come on, this is...",
"[Jen enters from behind them]",
"Andie: [Chuckles] oh, wait. Here she is. Hey, Jen.",
"Jen: Hi. We saved a seat for you.",
"Jack: You know what? I'm, uh... I'm not that hungry. Andie, can you bring me home a doggie bag?",
"Jen: It's obvious that I'm the one crashing the party. I'll go.",
"Jack: I just said I was goin'.",
"Andie: No. I am. I'm leaving Capeside. And, uh...That's why I asked you all to come here tonight... To say good-bye, and also there's something that I need to say to you guys... All of you, before I go. So...So, Jen, Jack, please stay.",
"[They all sit down]",
"Andie: You know what? It shouldn't have taken a scheme to get you all here tonight. When my dad first made me the offer to take the rest of the year off, I sat down with my trusty number 2... [Chuckling] and made my list of pros and cons. The pros were pretty obvious. Opportunity of a lifetime, right? And then came those nasty cons. You know what got top billing? You guys. The thought of leaving all of my friends... I mean, you guys are the ones who have supported and consoled and...Understood, unconditionally. But look at us now. We are a mess. And let's talk about why, starting with last week's fiasco. Ok, enough with the blame Jen game. If I don't, you shouldn't. Yes, she had them. But I took them. It was my fault. And Pacey, Joey, Dawson... You guys are so lucky. Do you have any idea how rare it is to have friends that you've known your entire life? So please don't underestimate that. Because in the end, you always go back to the people that were there in the beginning. And in the beginning, there were the three of you. And...You two.",
"[She turns to Jen and Jack]",
"Andie: You know what? This is just... It's really inexcusable. The biggest reason that was keeping me here was the thought that if I left, you wouldn't have a sister around. But then I realized that you would. When I, uh... First met you... I didn't know much about love... Or friendship. And each of you taught me a lot about both. So maybe by my leaving I can return the favor. Because the thought of it ending like this... [Andie sniffles] the way things are right now... It's just... It's not how I want to remember us. Do you? [Andie sniffles]",
"[The camera pans from face to face and you can see the emotion in all of their eyes. Jen gets up and hugs Andie.]",
"[Scene: By the bathroom door. Pacey is knocking on the door, when Joey comes up to him.]",
"[knock knock]",
"Joey: is anybody in there?",
"Pacey: Uh, yeah. And there's only room for one. Oh. Which, I guess, is kind of a recurring theme these days.",
"Joey: [Sighs] pace, I'm really sorry?",
"Pacey: hold on a second. Let me go first this time. [Chuckles] Ohh...Jo, I'm sorry for how I reacted to the whole peer rec thing. I think it was just kind of a left hook to the hot button, and... I reacted... Like Pacey.",
"Joey: You know who that guy you reacted like is gonna be in 10 years, pace? The person who knows me best. Dawson knows my past. My future lies with you. If you think about it, you know, you didn't even like me a few years ago.",
"Pacey: Well, you always tease the ones you love.",
"Joey: And you do always have to deal with the ones that you used to love.",
"[Pacey sighs and looks over at the table where Dawson and Andie are sitting and talking.]",
"[Scene: Outside the Fish House. Jen is leaving when Jack comes running up to stop her.]",
"Jack: Hey.",
"Jen: Ohh... Hi.",
"[She wipes the tears from her eyes.]",
"Jack: [Chuckles] is, uh... Is that the girl that used to tell me everything?",
"Jen: Is that the boy who used to listen?",
"Jack: I never stopped listening, Jen. I--I just... Didn't particularly like what I was hearing. Look, what-- what Andie said in there, um... You--you are such an important part of my life, and I... I thought maybe you were changin' on me.",
"Jen: I haven't changed, Jack. Still me... Jen Lindley, a girl who screws up every now and again.",
"Jack: I'm sorry.",
"Jen: I don't need an apology. I just need somebody who'll stand by me. You willing to do that?",
"Jack: You willin' to keep standin'?",
"Jen: Uhhhh... [Chuckles]",
"[They Hug]",
"[Scene: The Waterfront outside the Restaurant. Joey is standing at the edge looking over the water, when Dawson comes up to join her.]",
"Dawson: [chuckling] I knew I'd find you here.",
"Joey: Thought you didn't know me anymore, Dawson.",
"Dawson: The truth is, I never doubted how well I knew you, Joey. I was just afraid of what would happen if I had to put it all down on paper. Before, you told me... That, if I decided to write the recommendation, that I was the right person for the job. If the offer still stands, I would really like to do that for you.",
"Joey: I'd like that, too. Thank you.",
"Dawson: That's nice to see.",
"[They look over to see Andie and Pacey sitting on a bench]",
"Joey: Gives them something to hold onto.",
"Dawson: Well, what do you say you come inside and help me give us all somethin' to hold onto?",
"[Scene: The Bench. Andie and Pacey are sitting together talking to one another.]",
"Andie: You know, uh... This could potentially be the last time?",
"Pacey: oh, don't say that. There's no need for that. You'll be back, you know? There's...Prom, and there's graduation.",
"Andie: And a whole 'nother world out there. Pacey, you said it yourself.",
"Pacey: Is that why you're doin' this? Because of what I said?",
"Andie: [Sighs] whoa. Pacey, you gave me my strength. You know? The strength to do things that I always needed to do, but was too afraid to do.",
"Pacey: [Chuckles] no. No. I'm sorry. I don't think that you get to use the adjective \"afraid\" anymore while being self-referential. You can now use \"brave\" and perhaps occasionally \"stalwart.\"",
"Andie: \"Stalwart.\" No. I hate \"stalwart.\"",
"Pacey: Well, that's too bad. You're stuck with \"stalwart.\" You know, I think what we're gonna miss the most about you, Mcphee, is just your overwhelming optimism... [Chuckles] your ardent belief that everything in the world is wonderful until proven crap. Do you think maybe you could just... Leave us a little bit of that when you go?",
"Andie: Oh, it's the least I could do.",
"[They Hug.]",
"Pacey: I'm gonna miss you, Andie.",
"Andie: Me, too.",
"[Scene: Inside the restaurant. Everyone is gathering while Dawson sets up the camera.]",
"Jack: Hey.",
"Andie: Hey.",
"Jack: Hey. Look, Andie, I just-- the only reason that I said that you shouldn't go is 'cause... I'm gonna miss you more than anything.",
"Andie: Good.",
"Jack: The thought of not havin' you around, of--of havin' to say good-bye...",
"Andie: Jack... You're my brother. There are no good-byes.",
"Jack: I love you.",
"Andie: I love you, too.",
"[He sets the timer and runs over to join them.]",
"Dawson: Ok, everybody. Let's do this. And we are... On the clock.",
"[Dawson goes up next to Andie, but she moves out of between him and Pacey and puts Pacey's arm over Dawson's shoulder. They look at each other and smile and Dawson puts his arm over Pacey's shoulder. Andie goes over to stand on the other end next to Jack. The order from left to right goes: Andie, Jack, Jen, Joey, Pacey, and Dawson.]",

"[Scene: Dawson's Bedroom. Camera Pans across as female lying in Dawson's Bed from behind, and slowly around to Dawson who is sitting on the floor in front of the bed and the are watching a video tape. The camera turns and we can see that the woman is Gretchen.]",
"Dawson: Wow.",
"Gretchen: \"Wow. Look at the hidden treasure I've unearthed\"? Or \"wow. There's 87 minutes of my life I'd like back\"?",
"Dawson: I wanted to hate it. I really did, but I-- I can't. This--I mean, this is the... Heartbreaking work of a staggering genius.",
"Gretchen: Wait a second. Are you trying to tell me that Turn Away, My Sweet is the product of a genius?",
"Dawson: As much as it pains me, yeah.",
"Gretchen: I don't know, Dawson. All I saw was some formula gangster movie. I mean, I'm still picking the pulp out of my teeth.",
"Dawson: Yeah, it was pulpy, and it was by-the-numbers, but underneath all the hard-boiled sturm and drang was this great big thumping heart. I mean, this is a love story masquerading as a genre piece.",
"Gretchen: Dawson, the girl hired the guy to kill her. How is that a love story?",
"Dawson: Because just when she had given up on love, he came into her life.",
"Gretchen: Yeah, and he tried to kill her.",
"Dawson: Right, but he couldn't because he fell in love with her. Right when she'd given up and stopped looking, she stumbled into her own fairy tale. It's brilliant.",
"Gretchen: I don't know. If you ask me, Tarentino does this stuff a lot better and in color.",
"Dawson: Oh, ho! And now you're completely proving my point even more for me.",
"Gretchen: Which is?",
"Dawson: A.I. Brooks was way ahead of his time.",
"Gretchen: I like you like this.",
"Dawson: Dare I ask what \"this\" is?",
"Gretchen: Passionate, opinionated, irritating, even.",
"Dawson: Why--why did he stop?",
"Gretchen: Someone could ask you the same thing. I mean, when I left for college you were like this unstoppable force of film geek energy. I mean, you were all Spielberg this and Hitchcock that, and I come back and film is like this unfinished project you sort of stuffed in your closet. Which begs the question whatever happened to the talented young filmmaker Dawson Leery? Why did he stop? And where is he now?",

"Ms. Valentine: I'm not paying you to study for your G.E.D., Dear.",
"Joey: Mrs. Valentine, it's 3:45, which means I'm early. 15 whole minutes to do with what I please. And why is it so hard for you to remember that I go to school with your son?",
"Ms. Valentine: Yes, and speaking of things I'd just as soon forget, I ran into your sister Becky at the drug store. Clearly not there to pick up any contraceptives.",

"Mitch: What, with the baby",
"Gale: and the restaurant.",

"Jack: Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'd love to. Perfect way to celebrate, actually.",
"Jen: Celebrate?",
"Jack: I finished my applications today. Just handed 'em to ms. Watson... And the essay part almost killed me. If I ever in my life have to write about where I see myself in 10 years, I'm gonna have to say, \"dead,\" because the prospect of writing about it will have driven me to suicide.",
"Jen: Good. That's great. Awesome. Congrats. Ok, so what are we gonna see? Um...You know what? I want to see that gay one with Dean Cain. All the reviewers are calling it St. Homo's Fire. Sounds awesome. What do you say?",

"Jack: How much is pretty much?",
"Jen: Um, I just have the essay part left.",

"Jen: Bunch of places.",

"Grams: No, no, Jack. Jennifer is a big girl. God knows, I tried long and hard to aid her in making the right decisions, but she neither wants nor appreciates my help.

"Mr. Brooks: Like I said, it was a while back.",
"Dawson: I saw a great film last night.",
"Mr. Brooks: Bully for you.",
"Dawson: It was this incredible fusion of film noir, black comedy, and a love story. It was--what was the name of it? Um... Turn Away, My Sweet.",
"Mr. Brooks: Think you're pretty clever, don't you?",
"Dawson: How am I supposed to deal with this? I mean, how am I supposed to deal with the fact that the big grumpy old man who basically forced me into indentured servitude turns out to be a cross between Sam Fuller and Cameron Crowe?",
"Mr. Brooks: Who's Cameron Crowe?",
"Dawson: Uh, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Say Anything, Jerry Maguire.",
"Mr. Brooks: Never heard of him. Fuller--hmm, god rest his soul. He did some good pictures.",
"Dawson: And so did you, Mr. Brooks. I've seen everything I could get my hands on. Your films are-- they're amazing. You know, you're like this true American primitive. I have so much respect for what you've done.",
"Mr. Brooks: First of all, Mr. Leery, they're not films. They're pictures. Second of all, they're not amazing. They're hack work, and third of all, I'm uncomfortable with this new found respect you have for me.",
"Dawson: You can play the curmudgeon all you want, A.I. Brooks, but you can't fool me.",
"Mr. Brooks: Well, that's a load off.",
"Dawson: I saw those movies, and the man responsible for them obviously cares a great deal about things that matter-- things like love and death and morality and honor.",
"Mr. Brooks: The man responsible for them cares a great deal about eating his Chilean sea bass in peace.",
"Dawson: Ok. I just--I-- I wanted to tell you that your mov--your pictures really had an impact on me. I just... Well, I thought you might like to hear that.",
"Mr. Brooks: Thank you very much for the kind words, Mr. Leery, now I",
"Dawson: Can I--can I just ask you about the chemistry between your 2 leads in Turn Away, My Sweet? It was incredible. It was like it practically jumped off the screen.",

"Gretchen: Only if Pacey wears his camouflage pants.",
"Joey: Which isn't exactly outside the realm of possibility. You know, I do feel kind of bad dragging him to this thing.",
"Gretchen: Oh, you're not dragging him to anything. You need his support. I'm sure he gets that.",
"Joey: Yeah, well-- I just--I don't want him to feel out of place.",
"Gretchen: Joey, my brother's nuts about you. I think he plans to make a career out of being in close proximity to you. Just don't let him do that nervous joke-telling thing that he does. You are, however, gonna miss a great party at Dawson's house.",
"Joey: Dawson Leery's having a party?",
"Gretchen: Not so much. I talked Mitch and gale into letting me organize their holiday party.",
"Joey: Really? I love those. I mean, they've been a part of my life since I was, like, 5, I think. And they always put me in just the right mood for the holidays. Which is kind of weird considering Dawson and I would pretty much just hide up in his bedroom and watch old movies, but...",
"Gretchen: Which has it's own distinct charms. I mean, Dawson is one of those rare guys who can somehow make popcorn and a rented video seem like an event.",

"Advisor: Why do you think you want to be a filmmaker?",
"Dawson: Uh, well, doesn't my essay pretty much cover it?",
"Advisor: You see, that's the problem, Dawson. It doesn't. You spend 5 pages rather eloquently skirting the essay question... Why do you want to be a filmmaker?",
"Dawson: Well, it's a pretty difficult question to answer.",
"Advisor: And USC's a difficult school to get into. There are thousands of students, just like yourself, hoping against hope at a chance to study at one of the best film schools in the country. So I'm thinking... We might want to shoot for greatness here. In other words... Dawson, do better.",

"Pacey: Fascist.",
"Joey: Scaredy-cat.",
"Pacey: Are we at least gonna have a good time?",
"Joey: My guess is no.",
"Pacey: So why can't we just say \"nay\" to the whole idea of hanging out with the prep school contingent, and go over to Mitch and Gale's party?",
"Joey: Because, Pacey, that would severely diminish my chances for getting into college.",
"Pacey: Well, you put it that way",
"Joey: Pace?",
"Pacey: Yes.",
"Joey: You know how important this party is to me.",
"Pacey: Yes, I know.",
"Joey: And being in a relationship means that sometimes you do have to do things that you don't particularly enjoy for that other person.",
"Pacey: Yeah.",
"Joey: You know, for me that would be Sunday dinners with your parents.",
"Pacey: Oh, hold on. Do you think that I enjoy those dinners for one second? For the record, we could stop those at any time.",
"Joey: Look, I know that you're still trying to get out of this party.",
"Pacey: Yeah, I really am. Is it working?",
"Joey: It's like watching a train wreck.",
"[Scene: Grams' Kitchen. Grams is going through some present in a package sitting on the table, when Jen walks in and goes over to the fridge.]",
"Grams: These are for you, Jennifer. From your mother and father.",
"Jen: Whew, that time of year already. I'll tell you what. That is a sweater... From mom, from Barney's. But it was hand-picked by the maid. Yeah, jewelry. Jewelry, probably from dad, and I'll bet that it was thrown back in his face by a slutty secretary who did not appreciate the fact that she was actually being paid for services rendered. Remind me to send them a thank you card.",
"Grams: Why don't you just take them upstairs and open them in your room.",
"Jen: You know, I've got a better idea. Why don't you take 'em to goodwill. Donate 'em to somebody who cares.",
"Grams: That is not an appropriate attitude for the holidays, child.",
"Jen: Yeah, well, merry f-in' Christmas.",
"Grams: Jennifer! You know, you are quite possibly one of the most spoiled, self-involved brats I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with.",
"Jen: You know what? You're absolutely right. Why don't I just go to my room.",
"Grams: While you're there, why don't you take the time to fill out a couple of your college applications?",
"Jen: Right. Of course. Anything to get me out of the house quicker, huh?",
"Grams: That is not what I meant.",
"Jen: So then were you trying to light a fire under me? I'm sorry, but you haven't spoken so much as a complete sentence to me ever since I disappointed you. So you don't get to instill me with motivation. You don't get to discuss my future. You lost that right when you wrote me off.",
"[She throws the presents into the fridge and closes the door, before storming off to her room.]",

"Gretchen: Dawson, I don't know why you're having such a problem with this. I mean, just tell them the truth.",
"Dawson: The truth being what, exactly?",
"Gretchen: That filmmaking will provide you with everything that a young man could ever want or need... A 3-picture deal with Columbia and a spot just high enough on the premiere power list to bag yourself one of the girls of the WB.",
"Dawson: Moments like this it becomes glaringly obvious just how related to Pacey you really are.",
"Gretchen: Come on. Take a break. Help me hang the mistletoe.",
"Dawson: Ok.",
"Gretchen: Why don't you ask Mr. Brooks?",
"Dawson: Ask Mr. Brooks for what?",
"Gretchen: For help on your essay.",
"Dawson: I don't think so. I told the guy I like his movies, he practically took my head off.",
"Gretchen: Oh, Dawson, say what you want about his mercurial moods, but the guy is a resource. Take advantage of him. He's probably one of the only guys you've ever met who's a real-life filmmaker. And maybe a conversation with him will clear your head. You know, get rid of the cobwebs.",

"Grams: Actually, you were right. She hasn't filled out one application, and she's not going to.",
"Jack: Well, maybe we can talk to her. You know, gang up on her.",
"Grams: Oh, that won't work. I know my granddaughter. She's far too stubborn to stand for anything even resembling an intervention.",
"Jack: Yeah, I know. Well, any better ideas?",
"Grams: Actually, I do, and I'm going to need your help.",

"Mr. Brooks: My god, kid! You scared the crap outta me.",
"Dawson: Well, I'm sorry. I knocked. You didn't hear me.",
"Mr. Brooks: Why didn't you just leave?",
"Dawson: Uh, 'cause I wanted to talk to you.",
"Mr. Brooks: If you came to ask if I slept with Marilyn Monroe, you can crawl back from whence you came.",
"Dawson: No, it's nothing like that. I-- did you? Huh.",
"Mr. Brooks: What is it I can do for you, Mr. Leery?",
"Dawson: I need some advice.",
"Mr. Brooks: Have you tried the teen help line? [Clears throat] Well, this is gonna clearly take longer than I'd hoped, but I supposed I could give you a-- would you like a soda pop, Mr. Leery?",
"Dawson: No, thank you. I'm fine.",
"Mr. Brooks: All right. I'm ready to dispense with advice. Sit down.",
"Dawson: Um... Well, I-- I've got to write this essay-- an application for USC film school, and... It's killing me. I can't... For the life of me answer the question, \"Why do you want to be a filmmaker?\"",
"Mr. Brooks: Well, why do you, kid?",
"Dawson: Well, you see, that's the problem. I'm having trouble putting it into words.",
"Mr. Brooks: If you can't do better than that, you might as well make out an application to McDonald's.",
"Dawson: Mr. Brooks, I need to know why you stopped making movies.",
"Mr. Brooks: What does that have to do with anything?",
"Dawson: 'Cause I've stopped, too.",
"Mr. Brooks: Well, that's a tragic loss for the arts.",
"Dawson: Mr. Brooks, I'm-- I'm serious. You know, I was going full-steam ahead. Nothing was gonna stop me, and then-- you know. Life got in the way. I-- I--I had what you might call a crisis of faith.",
"Mr. Brooks: Crisis of faith? But, gee, you're kind of young for that, aren't you what are you, 15?",
"Dawson: 17.",
"Mr. Brooks: 17 and already had a crisis of faith.",
"Dawson: You know, I thought we were beyond this. I thought we had moved on, but I guess not. I guess whatever happened to you made you the kind of person who would tear into a 17-year-old kid whose only mistake was to equate talent with wisdom and kindness, so...",

"Pacey: You know, we could always just turn around. Which would, of course, be incredibly cowardly.",
"Joey: Yet sounds incredibly appealing. You're grinning like an idiot.",
"Pacey: Yeah, I know. I can't help it.",
"Joey: Why?",
"Pacey: Because... I'm the only guy at this party who gets to walk in with Audrey Heyburn on his arm.",

"Dawson: Come in.",
"Gretchen: Thought I might find you in here.",
"Dawson: Hey. How's the party?",

"Dawson: Uh, I'll be down in a minute.",
"Gretchen: Ok. You ok?",
"Dawson: Yeah. Yeah, I'm just-- just thinking.",
"Gretchen: About...",
"Dawson: About what you said to me the other night. What did happen to me. Here I am. I'm applying to one of the best film schools in the country, and I'm not even sure I want to go. I'm not sure I deserve to go.",
"Gretchen: You know what you sound like, Dawson?",
"Dawson: What?",
"Gretchen: You sound like a guy who just broke up with this girl. And he's happy he broke up with her-- I mean, at least he says he is-- and he goes on and on about, you know, how much better off he is without her, but the thing is he can't stop talking about her. Everything comes back to this girl. You loved this girl, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Now that, oddly enough, has not kept her from breaking my heart time and time again.",
"Gretchen: Yeah, but that doesn't matter. I mean, you're trying so hard to answer this question, and--and you're thinking that there's some right answer, and there's not. You know, maybe if you just admit that you love movies, the geek will resurface, and you'll be able to connect with that part of you that won't tolerate cynicism under any circumstances, and people will respond to that. They will respond to that great big thumping heart of yours. Trust me. Now come try my eggnog.",
"[Scene: The Capeside Yacht Club. Joey is talking to one of the other girls at the party and she is very uncomfortable.]",
"Girl: And I will not lose any more sleep over the fact that my class rank was third. I mean, it's like I could toss and turn all night wondering what I did wrong, you know? Why I wasn't good enough for first, or even second, but third? I mean, what is that? So what did you place?",
"Joey: Fourth.",
"Girl: Oh. Oh, that's good. Yeah, fourth is good. [She looks over and sees Drue serving drinks and pours out the rest of hers into a plant.] Oh, cute boy. Yeah, I do believe I need a refill.",
"Joey: Let me get that for you.",
"Girl: Nonsense. Excuse me! Excuse me, waiter boy?",
"Drue: Yes, annoying girl?",
"Girl: Yeah, I'll have a club soda with a lime in it, please.",
"Drue: Anything for you, Joey?",
"Joey: Fine, thanks.",
"Drue: There you are, potter. I never got the chance to thank you for ruining my night.",
"Joey: Well, I think we could probably talk about it another time.",
"Drue: Sure. Sure. How about midnight? Just in time to watch you turn back into a pumpkin. Did you know that Joey here is one of our finest waitresses? I think it's sweet how you've taken her under your wing.",
"Girl: Oh, uh, you know what? I think I see this girl that I know from boarding school. So I'm gonna go over and say hi. Excuse me.",
"[The girl leaves, and Drue looks at Joey with a shrug look.]",
"Drue: How bad do you want to do me bodily harm right now? Oh! Later. Too many witnesses.",
"[Scene: The Leery House. The Advisor is attending it and looks out the window to see Jen standing out on the porch, and goes out to talk with her.]",
"Advisor: You did it!",
"Jen: No, I didn't.",
"Advisor: Yes, you did, and your essays were wonderful.",
"Jen: They were?",
"Advisor: Yes, they were. You should be very proud of yourself.",
"Jen: Mmm. What-- what did I do, exactly?",
"Advisor: You got your apps in on time. Higher education is yours, Jen Lindley. Good job.",
"Jen: Yeah, um...",
"[Scene: The Capeside Yacht Club. Joey and Pacey are sitting at the table with Walter and Walter tries to strike up a conversation. Drue is serving the table.]",
"Walter: You've certainly been quiet tonight, miss potter.",
"Joey: Just soaking it all in, I guess.",
"Walter: Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?",
"Joey: Um... There's really not much to tell. I'm pretty much your average teenage girl.",
"Walter: Having reviewed your application, I hardly think so. I seem to remember a certain fondness for art. Have you been to the new Guggenheim?",
"Joey: No, but I have always wanted to go to New York.",
"Drue: It's actually in Bilbao, hon. Spain?",
"Walter: Which isn't important. What is, however, is the building itself. It's really the most amazing feat of construction. It's an extraordinary combination of intersecting shapes. It's an architectural epiphany.",
"Pacey: No, I don't know. You ask me, the thing just looks like a big artichoke. [Everyone looks at him] No, I'm serious. It does.",
"Walter: Oh, so you've been?",
"Pacey: Well, no, but my brother-- he's this big architecture buff, and he's into those coffee table art books. You know, so I've seen all the pictures, and I'm here to tell you, it looks like a big artichoke.",
"Walter: [Laughs] Big artichoke. You're right. It does look like an artichoke.",
"[Scene: Outside the Leery House. Dawson is standing at a small bench area in the middle of the yard, when Mr. Brooks comes up from the dark.]",
"Mr. Brooks: Mr. Leery.",
"Dawson: Mr. Brooks.",
"Mr. Brooks: Ah, quite a shindig you got for yourself, here, huh?",
"Dawson: Uh, yeah. Do you want to come in?",
"Mr. Brooks: Oh, no. I'm not much for crowds.",
"Dawson: Why is that not a surprise? Is there something I can do for you?",
"Mr. Brooks: Ah.",
"[He hands Dawson a book.]",
"Dawson: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?",
"Mr. Brooks: That's Pauline Kael. The best film critic ever was. She says it a lot better than I ever could.",
"Dawson: Says what?",
"Mr. Brooks: Why. Why when I was a kid I lived for Saturday afternoons at the Rialto. Why I left this town the day I graduated high school, and hopped on a train headed for the Los Angeles. Why I almost cried the first time I stepped on a studio lot. And why I did the first time I yelled, \"action!\" Sorry I snapped at you, kid. You just happened to scratch an open wound that still hasn't healed after all these years.",
"Dawson: Which is none of my business.",
"Mr. Brooks: 1956, Louis B. Mayer calls me into his office. He's got this brilliant idea. Wants to cast my best friend and my girlfriend in my next picture. Turn Away, My Sweet. Well, I got to agree with him. It's great casting. Till we started shooting and I am a madman. Crazed beyond belief. I don't even notice what's happening right in front of my eyes. My best friend falling in love with my girlfriend. By the time I realize it, it's too late. She's gone, and I still have half a picture to direct. Do you have any idea what that's like?",
"Dawson: I would imagine it would be terrible.",
"Mr. Brooks: Yeah, made me hate directing, everybody, and everything. The day we wrapped I caught another train... For Capeside, Mass. I never looked back. Started a new life. Started a better life.",
"[Mr. Brooks turns and starts to walk away.]",
"Dawson: Mr. Brooks? Mr. Brooks!",
"Mr. Brooks: What?!",
"Dawson: Would you like to come inside?",
"Mr. Brooks: Why do you want to make pictures?",
"Dawson: [Sighs] How can you explain the things you love? You can't. You just do.",
"Mr. Brooks: God help you, kid.",

"Pacey: So then the rabbi says, \"rectum? I damn near killed 'em!\"",
"Walter: [Laughing]",
"Pacey: Good one, right?",
"Walter: It's very good. Joey, I had no idea your boyfriend was such a charmer.",
"Joey: Who knew?",
"Walter: Worthington could use a young man like you, Pacey. Why haven't you applied?",
"Joey: Yeah, Pace, why haven't you?",
"Pacey: Well, I-- to be perfectly honest, uh, both of my parents are real big lefties, so for me it's Yale or nothing.",
"Walter: Well, that certainly is our loss.",
"Joey: Hey, Pace, can I talk to you for a second?",
"Pacey: Yeah, sure.",
"Joey: Outside. Excuse us.",
"[Scene: Outside the Yacht Club. Joey is pulling Pacey behind her as they walk out onto the piers.]",
"Joey: Pacey, I can't believe you just did that.",

"Jen: Did I or did I not ask you to just mind your own business?",
"Jack: Ah, Jen",

"Grams: He had every right. As did I.",
"Jen: Listen, I'm not looking to be saved here, all right? I don't want to go to college. Could you please just leave me alone?",
"Grams: You do want to go to college, Jennifer. I know that for a fact, and I know why you haven't applied.",
"Jen: No, you don't.",
"Grams: Yes, I do. You haven't applied because you refused to ask your parents for help.",
"Jen: I--I can't. I can't keep putting myself out there over and over again. I won't ask them. I won't do it.",
"Grams: And I won't let you. Now, look, I'm sorry that you haven't felt like you could talk to me lately, but you must understand something, Jennifer. You must understand that no matter how angry or upset or disappointed I may be in you, I will always be there for you. You are going to college, young lady. If I have to beg, borrow, or steal, I will get you there. You are the most important thing in my life, Jennifer, and I love you.",

"Jen: Aw...",

"Joey: Uh, hi, Mr. Kubelik, um... I'm sorry, I... I think I need to apologize.",
"Walter: Really? Whatever for?",
"Joey: Well, I think I blew it tonight. And it's just, um, this is kind of a whole new world for me, and I, um, I don't really know what to do or what to say, and I know that I don't fit in very well",
"Walter: Joey, you didn't blow anything. Your academic record stands on its own. You're a stunningly bright young lady. No one is grading you on your social skills. Be that as it may, you couldn't ask for a better character witness than that boyfriend of yours. Seriously. He just talked the Dean's ear off, all about you. How you've changed him, how you've helped him. How he couldn't imagine a better life than one with you by his side. What a rare gift, to have someone say such things about you.",
"[Scene: The Leery House Party. Jen and Jack are sitting on the stairs talking to one another.]",
"Jen: So, where did I apply?",
"Jack: Uh, you applied to Bard, Brown, Columbia, Emerson, and Sarah Lawrence. Oh, and B.U.",
"Jen: Nice.",
"Jack: You know, I had to ransack your computer. With a little pruning, that, um, that paper you did on women's suffrage movement made a really good essay.",
"Jen: Really? Cool.",
"Jack: Yeah. Yeah, and, you know, I stumbled across your journal.",

"Grams: You again.",
"Mr. Brooks: Have we met?",
"Grams: You know very well we've met. I had the distinct displeasure of watching you yelling and screaming at poor Dawson leery over nothing but some silly boat of yours.",
"Mr. Brooks: It was quite the little tantrum. If I remember correctly, you put me in my place. I admire that in a woman.",
"Grams: Oh, you fancy yourself quite charming, don't you?",
"Mr. Brooks: On my better days, yes, I do.",
"Grams: On your better days, I'd say your mind is clearly playing tricks on you. Which is understandable. You are getting on in years.",
"Mr. Brooks: I did yell at the kid, but that's before I got to know him, before I realized he's not an idiot, just a nuisance.",
"Grams: Well, perhaps in the future you will take the time to get to know a person before you dismiss them.",
"Mr. Brooks: Perhaps you might do the same.",
"Grams: Perhaps.",
"[Grams leaves with a slight smile on her face, and Dawson who witnessed all of this walks up to join him.]",
"Mr. Brooks: What?",
"Dawson: You were flirting with grams.",
"Mr. Brooks: Heh heh. Nonsense.",
"Dawson: I don't know, that looked like flirting to me.",
"Mr. Brooks: You'd know if I was flirting. Matter of fact, you could pull up a seat and take a lesson or two. Heh heh.",
"Dawson: You know, I shouldn't have been surprised at all that you were a big movie director. What else could have satisfied that massive ego?",
"Mr. Brooks: Listen, just because we shared a moment out there doesn't mean we have to get all chummy.",
"Dawson: Point taken. Ahem. But I wanted you to know something.",
"Mr. Brooks: What?",
"Dawson: I think I'm ready to make a movie again.",
"Mr. Brooks: Oh, \"crisis of faith\" over? I'll alert the media.",
"Dawson: All right, all right, laugh all you want.",
"Mr. Brooks: I intend to. Ahem. What is this, um, picture of yours gonna be about?",
"Dawson: You.",
"Mr. Brooks: Excuse me? Say that again into my good ear, would you?",
"Dawson: My mov--my picture is going to be about you. Your life story. We'll talk later. Enjoy the party.",

"Joey: I didn't apologize, Pace.",
"Pacey: Well, no, but you were going to.",
"Joey: I was?",
"Pacey: Yeah, you were going to apologize for bitching me out earlier.",
"Joey: And what about you? You're the one who lied.",
"Pacey: Did it ever occur to you that maybe I was doing that all for you?",
"Joey: And how, exactly, do I benefit from your distortion of the truth?",
"Pacey: Well, maybe I just wanted these people to see you through my eyes just for one night. To see this girl, this woman, who has more class and intelligence and beauty and grace than anyone else who's walking the face of the planet. And maybe things like this just come tumbling out of my mouth because I happen to be head over heels in love with you, but the really scary thing is--is... I think that they're true.",
"Joey: Sorry, Pace. I just wanted to impress these people so bad, you know, to fit in, and I completely froze.",
"Pacey: Hey, that doesn't matter.",
"Joey: Yes, it does! I've never wanted anything so bad in my whole life. And you--you just fit right in better than I ever will.",
"Pacey: Because there's nothing at stake for me here, Jo. I have nothing to prove to these people. And Jo, this world, it is opening its doors to you. And when you step through, you are going to be such an amazing part of all of this. And wherever you choose to go, you're doing them the favor, not the other way around.",
"Joey: You know, your mom should get a medal.",
"Pacey: Mom? Really, why's that?",
"Joey: Because she raised a perfect boy. And maybe things like that just tumble out of my mouth because I happen to be head over heels in love with you, but the scary thing is, I think it's true.",
"[They Kiss]",
"Pacey: Mm. Ok. What do you say you and I take our little mutual admiration society on the road? Please, can we go someplace we both fit in? Yeah?",
"Joey: Yeah.",
"Pacey: Thanks.",

"Dawson: Hey. You did a very good thing. Years from now, I'm not gonna remember what the hell I got for Christmas, but I will remember what it felt like to see my parents so happy. So thank you.",
"Gretchen: Hey... Total selfishness on my part. This just takes me back to a time before everything got so complicated, you know?",
"[Mr. Brooks comes walking through the archway and hits the Mistletoe above their head with his hand.]",

"Dawson: Excuse-- you gotta be kidding me. I had nothing to do with this.",

"Gretchen: It's tradition, Dawson, and you don't monkey with tradition.",

"Jack: Dawson, come on. Last night at the holiday party, you kissed Gretchen Witter. I mean, you remember her, right? It's the girl you once described to me as your first crush.",
"Dawson: She photographs very nicely, doesn't she?",
"Jack: Ok. As much as I appreciate your attempt to feign coolness, ha ha ha ha. You can't tell me this means nothing to you.",
"Dawson: Oh, no, not nothing, but, uh, you know, virtually nothing. I mean, was she once the unapproachable, bikini-clad object of my preadolescent affection?",

"Dawson: All right. Later.",
"Gretchen: Later.",

"Gretchen: Uh... Uh, look, Dawson, the reason I came by was because I reacted stupidly. When the whole mistletoe thing happened, I should have just cleared the air right then and there. I mean, that's sort of my policy on things like that.",
"Dawson: You have a policy on kissing your younger brother's former best friend underneath the mistletoe at holiday parties?",
"Gretchen: No. No. I just--I didn't say anything at the time because I was afraid that you might think that it meant something more than it did. I mean, you're young and",
"Dawson: Well, I'm not that young.",
"Gretchen: No. No, right. Of course not. So obviously you didn't think that it meant something more.",
"Dawson: Um, obviously.",
"Gretchen: Because sometimes if we don't clear these things up, then they can get kind of awkward, and that would suck.",

"Jack: Well, I--I, uh",
"Toby: Up! On your feet.",
"Jack: Ahem. I was, uh, coaching a pee-wee soccer team over in Capeside, and I",
"Toby: Ah, say no more. And the parents fired you when they found out you were queer? Though, of course, they were very careful not to fire you because you were queer.",
"Jack: I wouldn't exactly put it that way.",
"Toby: But it's what happened, isn't it? So, uh, what'd you do?",
"Jack: I did the only thing I could. I--I left.",
"Toby: But you didn't protest. You--you didn't put up a fight. That's not exactly a giant step forward for gay rights.",
"Jack: I wasn't thinking about gay rights at the time. I was thinking about the kids.",
"Toby: Ah, of course. Though as everybody here knows, the only way to make society any better is to confront prejudice head-on. Which brings me to our last order of business. You can sit down now. As those of you who read more than just the sports pages now, 2 of our favorite lesbians, Anna and Sarah, got kicked out of Stardust Lanes in upper Weymouth last week for kissing. Now, the owners claim that they're against all forms of public displays of affection, gay or straight. And we plan to put this policy to a test.",

"Gretchen: Oh. You saw that, huh?",
"Pacey: Oh, yeah, I saw that. And so did somebody else I know. You know, and as much as I would love to erase that image from my mind, I'm afraid it's pretty much burned in there irrevocably. So. Please, please, explain yourself to me. Tell me why you had to kiss Dawson and not somebody else your own advanced age?",
"Gretchen: Do we have to talk about this before I have my coffee?",
"Pacey: Yes.",
"Gretchen: Ok. Look. It was an accident. Pure mistletoe, ok? It meant nothing. He knows that, I know that. It was just a kiss.",
"Pacey: There's no such thing as \"just a kiss.\" Especially not in Capeside.",
"Gretchen: Didn't you people ever play spin the bottle?",
"Pacey: No. Unfortunately that quaint, little eighties tradition of yours had gone the way of the dodo by the time I hit puberty.",

"Pacey: Personally I don't care. But someone that I know does.",
"Gretchen: Ok, then why aren't you at Joey's talking to her instead of harassing me and drinking all the orange juice?",
"Pacey: I'm not a complete moron, you know? I tried that already.",
"Gretchen: And?",
"Pacey: And she said she hasn't had time to run her mind over it yet.",
"Gretchen: Oh. Big lie.",
"Pacey: Yeah, huge lie. So now I've really got 2 options. I can either take the highroad and pretend like I believe what she's telling me, or I could take the low road, force the issue, and just come off looking like a world-class jerk. What do I do, Gretch?",
"Gretchen: I think you should just be the best boyfriend you can be. I think you should be understanding and sweet and kind.",

"Jen: All right, ok. So we don't have to bowl. We--we don't even have to, uh, to rent those shoes. We can just go and hang out and make some new friends.",
"Jack: Oh, yeah. Like that guy Toby? No, thanks.",
"Jen: Oh, come on. I think he's sweet. What?",
"Jack: You would.",
"Jen: Uh, meaning what?",
"Jack: Meaning the guy loves you. He practically started drooling on sight.",
"Jen: Oh, please. He does not love me. He just worships my more diva-like qualities. I happen to think he likes you... You know, beneath all that militant, angry, young, gay men posturing, which is sexy.",
"Jack: Yeah, very far beneath. The guy's a fascist dictator. And for the record, even if I wanted to meet new people, which I--I don't, it's totally an unnatural way to do it.",
"Jen: All right, fine. Point taken.",
"Jack: I mean, it's like, hi, I'm gay and that's all I am. How weird is that?",

"Dawson: Don't you think that kind of thinking is a little outdated?",

"Dawson: Yeah, but you can't just write off all the technological advancements that we've made. I mean, movies like fight club and the matrix. That kung fu sequence alone",
"Mr. Brooks: Kung fu? Next you want me to know about gladiator pictures.",
"Dawson: Which would be your cue to tell me what you think was wrong with gladiator.",
"Mr. Brooks: A tad over the top. Lacking in complex human emotions.",
"Dawson: Which is what made L.A. Confidential so great.",
"Mr. Brooks: That and a sexy blond. There hasn't been a picture that good since the man who shot liberty valance. You have seen that one, haven't you?",
"Dawson: Yeah. The great love triangle. Like a lot of great movies.",
"Mr. Brooks: Well, what's your point? Ahem.",
"Dawson: Well, I thought you might have one.",
"Mr. Brooks: Do you know why so many great pictures are about love triangles? Simple. For every piece of happiness, there's also a piece of unhappiness. If you haven't told both sides, you haven't told the whole story. All right? I think we're done for the day.",
"Dawson: Hold on. You can't just quit when you get to the good part.",
"Mr. Brooks: Oh, yes, I can. I'm the star. No star, no picture.",
"Dawson: Well, you've been going on all afternoon about the importance of asking fundamental questions about truth, honor, and friendship. Now that I finally ask them, you got nothing to say? Who was this girl who made you give up filmmaking?",

"Pacey: Oh. Judging by your mood, I'd say the test went really well.",

"Joey: This is the truth.",
"Pacey: No, it's not. The truth is what's really bothering you is what happened between Dawson and Gretchen.",

"Joey: That is not true.",

"Pacey: Oh, things like the future.",
"Joey: We talk about the future.",

"Pacey: So what do you see when you see the future?",
"Joey: Us. Me and you, Pace. We grew up together. And see, Dawson and I, we didn't grow up.

Because whenever I'm around him, I become 15 again.",

"Toby: I see. Is, uh, is all this getting a little too gay for you?",
"Jack: Yeah, as a matter of fact, it is getting a little too gay for me. I gotta--I gotta admit, I--I just don't understand the point to it. To your group, to the way you guys act, to your whole holier-than-thou attitude.",
"Toby: You wouldn't. I mean, not from where you're sitting at the fun and popular table with all the other football players and cheerleaders.

A-and if I jump to conclusions based on appearances, it's just because-- well, that's the way I've been treated my entire life. Hey, when I was 9 I used to walk home through this baseball field. All these older kids would hide in the dugouts and wait for me to walk by. They'd call me fag, sissy, queer. The full spectrum. Till my older sister would come along and scare 'em away.

"Dawson: Mr. Brooks? Oh, uh, I'm sorry. I can come back later. I just",
"Louise: I know. He told me. See, you've been really tiring him out with that video of yours.",
"Dawson: Oh, not intentionally.",
"Louise: No, I think that you are the reason that he's not taking his medication. W--he says it's because it makes him forget things, and I said, \"well, forgetting can be a good thing,\" and then he said, \"but not when you're making a documentary.\"",
"[Mr. Brooks joins the two of them.]",
"Mr. Brooks: Louise here has a big mouth. Loves to chat with nosy teenagers. You'd think I was paying her to talk. Nurses can be replaced, you know.",
"Louise: I know. I will see you tomorrow.",
"Mr. Brooks: All right, the secret's out. Not to worry, I'm not dead yet. I'm just holding short waiting for a clearance. So what can I help you with?",
"Dawson: I, uh, left my video camera here yesterday.",
"Mr. Brooks: Oh, sorry. Sorry about that. There it is. See? I didn't steal it or anything. Probably beyond me, major motion picture director that I am, to figure out how the damn thing works, anyway.",
"Dawson: [Chuckles]",
"[Dawson begins to take the camera off the tripod.]",
"Mr. Brooks: Hey, hey, wait a minute. What are you doing? You can't abandon the A.I. Brooks story, epic motion picture in progress.",
"Dawson: W-well, the nurse said that, uh",
"Mr. Brooks: Look, I'm not gonna be around forever. Might be nice to leave something behind, you know, for people to remember me by. Since the A&E biography folks aren't gonna get to me any time soon, would you still be willing to direct this little picture of ours?",
"Dawson: Sure.",
"Mr. Brooks: All righty then.",
"Dawson: So, uh, where do you want to start?",
"Mr. Brooks: When I was hitchhiking to the west coast, I tried to stay on route 66, you know, but I had to take such rides as I could get, and so somehow I ended up in Las Vegas, stranded at a little diner. That's where I met her. The girl from your movie. Ellie Andrews, waitress. Born and raised in Vegas and hated it. Said she couldn't understand why people would go out in the desert to take chances they'd be too afraid to take at home. Said she'd rather gamble on life than on the roll of the dice. One day a ride came by, toward L.A., And, uh, before I could say good-bye to her, she jumped over the counter and came with me.",
"Dawson: Just like that?",
"Mr. Brooks: All the way to sunset and vine. God, I miss her. A good woman. You'd have liked her. I miss her.",

"Joey: I wanted to say thank you.",
"Pacey: For what?",
"Joey: The test. You got Mr. Kasdan to let me retake the test.",
"Pacey: I did? I mean, I know that I did, but I didn't know that it worked. This is great. So, how'd you do?",
"Joey: Oh, I go take it tomorrow after school, so, um... Tonight... [She begins to kiss him when he stops her.]",
"Pacey: Uh...",
"Joey: Is there a problem?",
"Pacey: Well, you tell me.",
"Joey: I did what you asked. All ghosts locked firmly away. Except for the ghost of Christmas future. And there's really no reason...",

"Gretchen: Dawson, if this has to do with what happened the other day, I think I know what you're gonna say and I",
"Dawson: I like you. There. I said it. I like you and... That kiss meant more to me than just happy holidays. And everything I said the other day was a lie. Well, not a lie, because I think I meant it at the time, but I was basically just trying to fool myself because I didn't want to screw up our friendship, and I was gonna let that fear stop me. But I don't want to, and I'm not going to, because I don't want to learn that lesson at 17 or at any time, for that matter. And you can tell me that you're too old, and you can tell me that I'm too young, and you can tell me that I'm not over Joey, but nothing you can say is gonna change the fact that I said it. And I'm really glad that I said it because you're worth risking everything for.",
"Gretchen: What am I gonna do with you?",
"Dawson: Just tell me the truth.",
"Gretchen: The truth. Sometimes a kiss is just a kiss, and sometimes a kiss means...",

"Pacey and Dawson finally start hanging out together again when Dawson tells him that he has feelings for Gretchen. Pacey hates the idea, so when he and Gretchen go on a road trip to her ex-boyfriend's house to pick up her truck, Pacey tries to get them back together. However, after being there for a while, Pacey sees that the guy he's trying to get Gretchen back together with is not who he thought he was. Back in Capeside, Joey has her fair share of problems when she gets locked in a storage area at the Yacht Club with Drue Valentine, an event he set up to avoid going to visit his father. Meanwhile, Dawson observes the feelings growing between Brooks and Grams and fears that Grams will get hurt when she finds out that Brooks is terminally ill. Gretchen finally gives into her feelings for Dawson."

"Pacey: Maybe we're too early. Maybe the fish are still asleep.",
"Dawson: Fish don't sleep, Pacey.",
"Pacey: You know, I'm really glad we're hanging out, but... Did our first jaunt together in months really have to be at sunrise?",
"Dawson: Oh. I got something to tell you that I have a feeling will keep you awake. I like your sister, Pacey.",
"Pacey: You like her, or you like her like her?",
"Dawson: I'm talking about Gretchen Witter, not Winnie cooper.",
"Pacey: Well, are we talking about the feelings of fondness and fellowship that naturally follow from an obligatory mistletoe kiss, or am I going to find you outside of my house holding a boom box over your head?",
"Dawson: I'm crazy about her.",
"Pacey: Well...You've had a crush on her for years. I mean, that's all this is, right?",
"Dawson: No. This is more than a grade school crush. And even though she won't acknowledge it, I think, on some level, she feels the same way about me.",
"Pacey: It's a hell of a lot to digest before breakfast, Dawson.",
"Dawson: Well...Last spring, if you'd come to me and just told me how you felt about Joey, it would have made things a hell of a lot easier. So that's all I'm trying to do.",
"Pacey: Dawson, you and I are friends. Friends. But sisters... Sisters are...",
"Dawson: Off limits?",
"Pacey: Yes! Sisters are off limits. They're like mothers, only pretty.",
"Dawson: I'm not asking for your permission, Pace. I'm just letting you know.",
"Pacey: So what are your plans?",
"Dawson: My plans?",
"Pacey: Yeah, to pursue my sister. What are you going to do?",
"Dawson: Nothing.",
"Pacey: Nothing?",
"Dawson: Mm-hmm.",
"Pacey: Well, what kind of plan is \"nothing\"?",
"Dawson: Well, I've just decided to let things play out. If there's one thing I learned after last spring, it's that some things can't be forced.",
"Pacey: So then your plan would be to not have a plan.",
"Dawson: Exactly.",
"Pacey: The Tao of Dawson is to do nothing. I've done nothing so far and we've already kissed. I figure the best thing I can do is just keep on doing nothing.",

"Pacey: What's with the rush?",
"Gretchen: At this speed, I can get to school, grab my car and get out of there before dark.",
"Pacey: Your car hasn't been at school for months. All of a sudden you decided your friends have borrowed it for too long?",
"Gretchen: Friend. Well, um, actually... Ex-boyfriend.",
"Pacey: Nick has had your car this whole time? You know, I always liked that guy.",
"Gretchen: You don't know him.",
"Pacey: Nick and me? Dos amigos.",
"Gretchen: You sat with him for a couple of hours when I brought him home for Christmas.",
"Pacey: Yeah, so I know that he likes the Patriots, pretzels, and a good party. I know he'd rather sleep and sail than study. Plus the man has excellent taste in music. His favorite song is Freebird.",
"Gretchen: You just described yourself.",
"Pacey: Well, great men think alike.",
"Gretchen: Ha!",
"Pacey: I just think it's wonderful that the two of you will be able to get to spend some quality time together.",
"Gretchen: Does your sudden proclivity for my ex-boyfriend have anything to do with a certain fair-haired pal of yours?",
"Pacey: Who? Dawson? Nah. Why should I care about Dawson? You assured me that that kiss meant nothing. Even though, you know, it really didn't look like nothing. 'Cause, you know, it kind of went on a little bit long to be nothing. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't think it's nothing. But if you said it's nothing, it's nothing.",
"Gretchen: Dawson and I are just friends. That's it. Trust me.",
"Pacey: Ok. Guess you've earned my trust. This music doesn't entirely suck, it's...[He picks up the CD case] \"Great tunes for Gretchen. From Dawson.\" That would be leery. So he made you a mix CD? Aw, how sweet. Did I ever mention that nick is not only smart, but also quite handsome? I mean, really, he's a good-looking guy. He works out, doesn't he?",

"Jack: Not really. Why?",
"Dawson: 'Cause Pacey really doesn't like the idea of Gretchen and me.",

"[Gale and Mitch come into the room.]",
"Mitch: Well, Dawson may have a sister before long. Then he'll understand.",
"Dawson: Or a brother. I find out in a couple hours, right?",
"Gale: Uh, well, no. Actually, honey, we've changed our mind again.",
"Mitch: I mean, should we really use technology to cheat what may be life's last great mystery?",
"Gale: Or is it anticlimactic to wait until the baby is born?",
"Mitch: Hmm.",
"Gale: Hmm.",
"Dawson: You know, whatever you guys decide is fine. Just let me know, so I can figure out what to do with the pink and blue paint that I have on hold.",
"Mitch: Good point.",
"Gale: Come on, we're going to decide in the car.",
"Dawson: Good luck.",

"Jack: Yeah.",
"Dawson: This is the last one I wrote, one I never sent. [Laughs] oh, god, this is embarrassing. I'm all gushing and lovesick.",
"Jack: Uh-huh. Maybe you should say some of that to her, now.",
"Dawson: No. I told her how I feel.",
"Jack: Not like that, I bet.",
"Dawson: No, I told her like an adult.",
"Jack: Well, maybe if you acted more like a kid, you might be with her.",
"Dawson: Last time I acted like a kid with my feelings, I ended up trying to prove something in a boat race. Remember that?",
"Jack: Oh, yeah.",
"Dawson: Not my finest moment. Besides, she knows how I feel about her. You know, if...If it's meant to be, it'll be. If not, that's the way it goes.",

"Drue: Closed for renovation. You know, this free time presents sort of a steak or lobster dilemma. Now, do I go cheerleader or drama club chick tonight? What do you think?",
"Joey: Mmm. Flip a coin. Heads is bimbo, tails is skank.",
"Drue: Where's the love, huh?",
"Joey: After working with you for the last 6 days, I don't know. I guess I lost it.",
"Drue: How do you plan to observe your Sabbath?",
"Joey: Oh, a relaxing little experience known as researching my English term paper.",
"Drue: Let me guess. How to keep a boyfriend and your virginity or the many uses of the human hand.",
"Joey: Finally a subject you know all about.",
"Drue: Oh, very good, Joey. Very good. You see, that is what we refer to as a comeback or a retort. I believe in French it's riposte.",

"Mrs. Valentine: On the planet where child support payments are still being negotiated. Here's your bus ticket.",

"Pacey: This is definitely my kind of place.",
"Gretchen: It's a place you're going to see very little of. Remember, we get the car and we leave.",

"Gretchen: Solenoid assembly?",
"Pacey: It's part of the carburetor. It draws air into the",
"Gretchen: I know what the carburetor is, ok, guys? And I know you don't need to remove the tires to unclog it.",
"Nick: Remember all your road trips? Low tread. I knew I risked losing your trust. All right? And frankly, you can hate my guts all you want. And, yeah, it hurts. But not as much as if something happened to you. I couldn't live with that.",
"Pacey: Thanks for looking out for her, man.",
"Gretchen: Yeah. Nick Taylor is a renowned protector of women.",
"Nick: Her name's Laura Wolner. She's a junior geology major.",
"Gretchen: I don't really care.",
"Nick: She lives here.",
"Gretchen: That's her problem.",
"Nick: Except for tonight. All right? I asked her for a favor. She's going to go stay at her mom's house so that you can have her room. If you want to leave, we'll fix the car later and you're gone. Listen, since all of your old friends are going to be here tonight, I figured you'd be up late. Might be nice to have a comfortable place to crash.",
"Gretchen: God help me.",
"Nick: Laura's room is the first one on the left. By the time you get washed up, me and Pacey will have you a nice medium-rare veggie burger with your name on it.",
"Gretchen: You think you know me so well, don't you?",

"Dawson: Well, it sounded like you were going to see him later on tonight.",
"Grams: We are simply having dinner at your parents' restaurant, and then we are going to Rialto 16 to see Almost Famous.",
"Dawson: Well, dinner and a movie on a Saturday night is pretty much a definition of a date.",
"Grams: Say, are you this protective of Jennifer?",
"Dawson: Uh... Jen is well-versed in the pitfalls and problems of relationships.",

"Joey: You got a better idea?",
"Drue: What, do I look like Macgyver?",
"Joey: No. He was smart enough not to move a box which was propping open a door.",
"Drue: Well, you know what? If you would have just accepted my help, we wouldn't be here in the first place. Now I know why you're still a virgin. You have serious trust issues with men. Not to mention some rather dubious grooming habits.",
"Joey: What do you think you're doing?",
"Drue: I'm taking inventory of our rations. We have my Slim Jim to your 2 Altoids. We could have a snack and fresh breath.",
"Joey: If you try to touch me or my stuff one more time, I swear to god, I'm going to take this eyebrow pencil and put it through your heart. Am I being clear?",

"Pacey: This is the life.",
"Nick: I know. Let's face it. High school sucks. Man was not created to spend 7 hours a day, 5 days a week crammed into a tiny desk. The whole system panders to the lowest common denominator. Standardized tests. Standardized courses.",
"Pacey: Standardized lunches.",
"Nick: Exactly. And that's why anyone who isn't standard doesn't fit in. College is a fresh start, you know? You get to be whoever you want to be.",
"[Gretchen walks up to the side of the hot tub.]",
"Gretchen: Why am I not surprised to see the two of you getting along?",

"Gretchen: My soul is just fine.",
"Girl: Hey, Gretchen.",
"[The girl waves for Gretchen to join her.]",

"Pacey: Nope. I'm telling you, you should go for it, my friend.",
"[Scene: The Dawson house. Dawson and Jack are doing some painting in the baby's room. Jack is talking to Dawson, but Dawson is staring at the wall obliviously.]",
"Jack: 18 years apart? I mean, that's wild. When this kid graduates high school, you're going to be, like, 36. He's just-- well, he or she-- is just going to be beginning their life, and... Yours will be pretty much over. And you're not listening to a word that I'm saying, are you, Dawson?",
"Dawson: Uh...No. Sorry.",
"Jack: Oh, well. What's going on?",
"Dawson: I'm worried about grams. I'm afraid she's going to get her heart broken.",
"Jack: I thought her heart belonged to the lord.",
"Dawson: And possibly Mr. Brooks.",
"Jack: You got to be kidding me. Crotchety old Mr. Brooks? Are you sure about that?",
"Dawson: It's getting to be like on Golden Pond over there.",
"Jack: Hey, good for her. I mean, now she's got somebody to keep her company, to read with, build fires with. After all, she did say that \"love is the hardest of woods.\"",
"Dawson: Brooks is sick, Jack. He's dying.",
"Jack: Oh, god. I don't-- I mean, after what happened with her husband, wh--how could she fall for somebody who's dying?",
"Dawson: Well, obviously she doesn't know. He hasn't told her.",
"Jack: Well, then you have to.",
"Dawson: Me?",
"Jack: Someone has to. If you don't, I will.",
"Dawson: If you could have seen how happy she was.",
"Jack: The only reason she's happy is because she doesn't know the truth.",
"Dawson: Well, maybe that's not such a bad thing.",
"Jack: Ok. You were happy before you found out about Pacey and Joey seeing each other. Now, would you have rather stayed in the dark or would you have rather someone come to you and told you the difficult truth at the beginning?",
"[Scene: The Store room. Joey and Drue are still locked in. Drue is sitting on a box and Joey is looking around.]",
"Drue: If I was the one in here with a sweater, I would share it.",
"Joey: Let me think about it. No.",
"Drue: Ok, but I want you to know if something happens to me, you have my permission to pursue whatever indelicate though life-sustaining tastes-just-like-chicken measures you see fit.",
"Joey: I see some cans up there. Maybe we can dig up something to eat.",
"[Joey starts climbing to get to the cans on the top shelf.]",
"Drue: You're going to fall and break your neck, at which point I am taking your sweater. Hey, I wonder who they're going to get to play you in the TV version of our ordeal, huh? Probably some former teen series idol who's trying to break into features.",
"Joey: Would you just shut up?",
"Drue: Ok. You go right ahead. I'm sure Lacey Chabert can't wait to cop an attitude and win the Emmy.",
"Joey: Ecch. We can't eat this. This expired, like, when I was born.",
"[Joey falls down and Drue catches her. He kisses her and she slugs him.]",
"Drue: Could have just said thanks!",
"[Scene: The College house. Nick and Gretchen are standing and talking to each other outside.]",
"Nick: Must be kind of tough out there, huh?",
"Gretchen: I have a life now. Now I have friends, have a job, great place by the water.",
"Nick: Come on. You don't miss it just a little bit?",
"Gretchen: This? No way.",
"Nick: I don't believe that.",
"Gretchen: It's true.",
"Nick: There's that thing.",
"Gretchen: What thing?",
"Nick: You know. That little thing you do when you're hiding something. You stick out your chin.",
"Gretchen: I do not.",
"Nick: Yes, you do. You know what always drove me crazy about you, Gretchen? That little line right there on your chin.",
"Gretchen: It's not going to work, Nick.",
"Nick: What?",
"Gretchen: Don't play, \"I'm just a sensitive boy who needs to be understood\" with me. I'm not going to go upstairs to see your guitar, so don't ask.",
"[Pacey comes up to join them.]",
"Pacey: It is so good to see you guys together. Honestly. Hey, can you believe that this woman is still single, considering what an amazing catch she is?",
"Gretchen: Ok, before you try and show all my teeth to prove what good breeding stock I am, you'll have to excuse me.",
"[Gretchen leaves the two of them alone.]",
"Pacey: You know she's crazy about you, right? She talked about you the whole ride up here. I mean, it's like the two of you were meant to be together. So whatever happened?",
"Nick: Our lives just moved in 2 separate directions. [Nick points to a woman who is waving to Pacey.] I think I see someone that wants to move in your direction.",
"Pacey: I don't think that'd be such a grand idea.",
"Nick: Her name's Christie. She likes horses, water sports, and back rubs from guys just like you, buddy. You can't go wrong.",
"Pacey: Oh, but I can go wrong. There is someone back at home that would think that that's a very, very bad idea.",
"Nick: That certain someone here? I don't think so. And I am definitely not going to say anything. [Nick throws him his keys] Second room upstairs to the left. Condoms are in the cigar box next to the futon. I'm going to go talk to your sister.",
"Pacey: Nick",
"Nick: Hey, don't mention it, man. Guys like me and you, we got to look out for each other.",

"Grams: What? What is it?",
"Dawson: You--you're-- you look...Beautiful.",
"Grams: Oh, thank you. I... Well, I... I hope this dress isn't too much. Wouldn't want anyone to think we were dating.",
"Dawson: Um...Getting into a new relationship can be intoxicating.",
"Grams: I noticed you aren't bearing any clothes for the church, and I know that you know Jennifer is away at a fishing concert.",
"Dawson: Uh, Phish broke up. It's widespread panic.",
"Grams: Hmm. \"I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, \"where oxlips and the nodding violet grows.\" [Chuckles] Oh, dear, now... What was it you wanted to talk about, Dawson?",
"Dawson: I just wanted to say have a great time tonight.",
"Grams: I know he's sick.",
"Dawson: You do?",
"Grams: Isn't that what you were trying to tell me?",
"Dawson: [Sighs] So he told you?",
"Grams: Of course not. Arthur Brooks wouldn't just come right out and tell someone that.",
"Dawson: Well, then how did you know?",
"Grams: I've been a nurse for 47 years and a woman a few years longer than that.",
"Dawson: But if you know, how can you start something with him?",
"Grams: It's very simple. We laugh together, we share the same interests, we look at life the same way. Do you know how hard it is to find a friend like that, Dawson?",
"Dawson: Yeah, I think I do. Um...I also know how hard it can be when it doesn't last.",
"Grams: A moment, a single moment of true joy is more powerful than a lifetime of sorrow.",
"[Scene: The College house. Pacey is walking when Gretchen comes up to join him as he walks outside. ]",
"Pacey: Let me tell ya. Your ex puts the \"A\" in hole. That man is just a world-class jerk.",
"Gretchen: I know that, Pacey. I tried to tell you.",
"Pacey: Well, I guess we've both had enough of him for tonight, right?",
"Gretchen: You don't need to protect me.",
"Pacey: He's the reason you left school, isn't he?",
"Gretchen: I am the reason that I left school.",
"Pacey: So what happened? What did he do to you?",
"Gretchen: Nothing I didn't allow to happen. Look, it's my fault, too, you know. I can't just blame him and neither should you.",
"Pacey: For what?",
"Gretchen: I got pregnant. I had a miscarriage.",
"Pacey: I--I'm sorry, Gretch. I would not have been trying to force the two of you back together. I am...Sorry. So how did he react when he found out?",
"Gretchen: He doesn't know. I didn't want to interrupt his plans to sleep with half the theta house.",
"Pacey: What a dick. What a dick! I can't believe I was hanging out with that guy thinking how cool he was. I am gonna",
"Gretchen: no, no, you are not! Ok, I am not a victim here, Pacey. And I don't want him to know. You know, nobody knows about this except Dawson.",
"Pacey: You told Dawson Leery before you told me?",
"Gretchen: He's my friend.",
"Pacey: I'm your brother!",
"Gretchen: With a very specific idea of how a sister is supposed to behave. Look, I left school to work on who I want to be. You know, I can't try fitting that into everybody else's idea of what that is.",
"Pacey: You know? Fair enough. At least you now know who Nick really is.",
"Gretchen: Pacey, everything that you liked about him I still like about him, too.",
"[Nick comes out to join them]",
"Nick: Hey. Hey. Did you miss me?",
"[Nick and Gretchen go back inside, while Pacey just watches them.]",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Mr. Brooks House. Dawson is cutting together some of the scenes of his movie, while Mr. Brooks is getting ready.]",
"Dawson: I don't understand why you would want to cut the scene before it's over.",
"Mr. Brooks: Nobody's saying anything.",
"Dawson: Look at your face! Look at that expression. And that says more than any words ever could.",
"Mr. Brooks: You're developing a pretty good eye, Mr. Leery. Obviously you're hanging out with the right people these days.",
"Dawson: It would seem so.",
"Mr. Brooks: Before you run off, um... I wondered if you could help me with something.",
"Dawson: Uh, sure.",
"Mr. Brooks: Evelyn Ryan and I have been spending a lot of time together lately, and I have grown rather fond of her. I'd like her to know that. So, uh... [He takes out some earrings] Do you think it's too much?",
"Dawson: Um...I'm not the person to talk to about that.",
"Mr. Brooks: What's the matter? Bother you that 2 adults are keeping company?",
"Dawson: No, I just--I don't think it's my place to give advice about this.",
"Mr. Brooks: Is that because a dying man just told you that he's fond of a woman who's like a grandmother to you?",
"Dawson: Do you have any idea what she went through with her late husband?",
"Mr. Brooks: Uh-huh, actually, I do.",
"Dawson: Well, then",
"Mr. Brooks: If I care about her, how could I put her through all that again, hmm?",
"Dawson: [Sighs] exactly.",
"Mr. Brooks: One thing worse than the pain of loss is the aching void of inaction. She's not the kind of person who can live with that. She knows I'm sick.",
"Dawson: So...She knows, and you know she knows, and yet neither one of you have said anything about it.",
"Mr. Brooks: No need. When you get to the end of the race, it's both obvious and inevitable. Make no mistake about it, kid, god intends to kill us all. You'll find that, uh, you don't have to have your life dictated by the cosmos. You fall in love with the wrong woman, you tell fate to piss off, you don't like its plans for you. Sure...Heartache to be had, but it's a small price to pay for living and dying on your own terms.",
"Dawson: Give her the earrings.",
"Mr. Brooks: Thank you, kid.",
"[Scene: The College house. Nick and Gretchen are sitting on the couch talking to each other as a party goes on all around them.]",
"Nick: You ever think about me?",
"Gretchen: Rarely.",
"Nick: Chin.",
"Gretchen: Occasionally.",
"Nick: I think about you.",
"Gretchen: Yeah?",
"Nick: Remember that time we locked ourselves in my room and studied for that astronomy mid-term?",
"Gretchen: [Laughs] we failed the test the next day.",
"Nick: Yes, we did. But it was worth it, wasn't it?",
"Gretchen: We've had a lot of good times together. \"Had\" being the operative word. We are past tense.",
"Nick: No, we're old friends. And the best thing about old friends is that they know you. They know what makes you tick.",
"Gretchen: There are a lot of things you don't know about me, Nick. A lot's happened to me since I left.",
"Nick: I know you've gotten more beautiful. Do you want to come up to my room and talk about the rest?",
"Gretchen: You're drunk.",
"Nick: You're gorgeous.",
"Gretchen: Do you ever change?",
"Nick: You know who I am. I mean, isn't that why you came? And don't tell me it was to pick up your car, because we both know that's not true. You've come a long distance. Don't you want to go the rest of the way?",
"[He stands up and he and takes her hand and they go upstairs while Pacey just watches them go.]",
"[Scene: The store room. Joey is pacing while Drue is sitting down holding a can up to his blackened eye.]",
"Joey: You're supposed to",
"Drue: back off!",
"Joey: I was just trying to help.",
"Drue: Yeah. Well, if I get any more help from you, I'll be spending my freshman year of college in traction.",
"Joey: You know if anyone should be upset, it should be me.",
"Drue: What? You tried to kill me!",
"Joey: You tried to kiss me!",
"Drue: I saved your life, ok? I was just acting on the moment.",
"Joey: Yeah, well, so was I.",
"Drue: How'd a pretty girl like you get so damn mean?",
"Joey: I'm not mean.",
"Drue: Are you kidding? The busboys are terrified of you. They call you \"el Toro.\"",
"Joey: Really? Well, you know, when you're used to living on your own, you learn how to take care of yourself, and I guess you develop a little bit of a thick outer shell.",
"Drue: And a pretty decent right cross. You know, at least your father's in prison. Having to spend time with my dad is like being in prison.",
"Joey: I thought your dad was this wealthy businessman who",
"Drue: yeah, who seemed like the coolest guy in the world until the day I discovered him fervently studying the kama sutra on my mother's new Mexican tile kitchen floor with someone who was most definitely not my mother.",
"[Joey comes and sits next to him taking her sweater off and putting it over both their laps.]",
"Drue: Bless you.",
"Joey: Just keep your hands where I can see them.",
"Drue: So where's your beau this evening? Is he going to be frantically checking hospitals for you?",
"Joey: He's on a road trip with his sister.",
"Drue: How do you stay in a relationship with someone who is so different from you?",
"Joey: We're not that different.",
"Drue: Oh, please. You're responsible and reasonable. He's reckless and rash.",
"Joey: Yeah, but part of his recklessness is that he's constantly surprising me. And part of his rashness is that he's intensely passionate. Those differences are important. They make for a richer relationship.",
"Drue: Maybe in high school. But last I heard, Harvard wasn't admitting the rash boyfriends of candidates just to keep the world's cutest couple together.",
"Joey: How would you like a broken nose to go along with that black eye?",
"Drue: Lighten up.",
"[Scene: Nick's bedroom. Nick and Gretchen come up to the room, and it has several candles already burning throughout the room.]",
"Gretchen: Looks like you were expecting company.",
"Nick: I missed you, Gretchen.",
"Gretchen: I can't believe I'm doing this.",
"Nick: Why? You knew this was going to happen. You've been thinking about this since you left. I know you, Gretchen. I know how you think.",
"Gretchen: Well, what am I thinking right now?",
"Nick: You're thinking that my arms feel amazing around you. That I fit you like a puzzle piece that's been missing. That you'll lose yourself in me the rest of the night and never look back.",
"[He takes her over to the bed and lies her down and she sits down next to him and they kiss and lie back.]",
"Gretchen: Mmm...Ahh... [She stops him and pushes him back] You know, that used to be enough.",
"Nick: I'm what they told you to stay away from, huh? The cookie jar high on the shelf. The person that's wrong for you. But, see, that's why a girl like you... Wants a guy like me.",
"Gretchen: You're totally right. And do you know what I just realized? I'm not that girl anymore.",
"[She looks over and he has fallen asleep.]",
"Gretchen: Nick? Nick? Thank you, Nick Taylor.",
"[SCENE_BREAK]",
"[Scene: Outside the college house. Pacey is finishing up fixing Gretchen's car when she comes out to join him.]",
"Pacey: Hey. I've finished up the work on the car. And I found your tires. They were just on the side of the house. All you needed was a couple of flats patched. The treads were fine.",
"Gretchen: Thank you.",
"Pacey: I fixed the car. I just wish I could do the same thing for your life.",
"Gretchen: Pacey",
"Pacey: I don't understand why you'd fall for such a self-centered, egocentric jerk like nick. You know, I know that you were a cheerleader all during high school, and I know that you always had the good grades and the good behavior and the good boyfriends, and I can understand that maybe you just got a little tired of being good all the time, and I understand that people get tempted. But why this guy? He's an ass! [Sighs] I guess it's kind of my fault. I pushed you into the guy.",
"Gretchen: This is not your fault.",
"Pacey: Well, it is kinda my fault. I wanted you to be with him. I wanted you to be with somebody that I understood. I wanted you to be with somebody who was maybe a little bit more like me.",
"Gretchen: You are nothing like nick.",
"Pacey: Well, regardless... You deserve someone who's going to listen to you and commit to you. You deserve someone who's going to make you the absolute center of their universe. You deserve somebody",
"Gretchen: someone like Dawson?",
"Pacey: Oh...Ha ha. That's not what I said.",
"Gretchen: That's what you meant. Nothing happened last night, Pacey. It almost did until--until I realized why I came here.",
"Pacey: Well, didn't you come here to see nick?",
"Gretchen: No. I came to say good-bye to nick. And more importantly, good-bye to a part of myself that I've always struggled with. And do you know where I got the strength to say good-bye? From you. Starting when they're little girls, sisters look to their brothers for cues on how they should be treated. And--and you're right. I deserve so much better than nick. And my heart knows that because I have a brother who treats me so well.",
"Pacey: So...Wait. Hold on a second. Does this mean that you also realize that you need better music in your life? Because if that's the case, I have this Pink Floyd CD that I think you'll love",
"Gretchen: that's ok. There's a certain CD mix that I want to listen to.",
"Pacey: Ok.",
"Gretchen: See you at home.",
"Pacey: Yes. See you back there.",
"[She pulls away from him as he watches her go.]",
"[Scene: The baby's room. Dawson and Jack are busy painting around the windows and the corners of the room.]",
"Dawson: Jack, do you believe in inevitability?",
"Jack: You mean, do I think I busted my shoulder because of fate?",
"Dawson: Yeah. Do you ever wonder if you could've changed what happened?",
"Jack: You have no idea how many times I have thought about that one. I mean, what if I would have caught the ball differently? You know, hit the ground differently? What if I would have brushed my teeth 3 seconds longer that morning, arriving to practice 2 seconds later?",
"Dawson: And the answer?",
"Jack: The answer is I don't know. I'm sick of thinking about it. Thinking about it is more debilitating than the injury.",
"Dawson: Brooks is dying... And he's actively pursuing a relationship with grams who knows, but doesn't seem to mind.",
"Jack: Well, maybe he finds strength in taking action, and maybe she finds comfort in her religion. I mean, the arbitrary nature of life and love, you know, it can be frightening. Everybody has their own way of coping with it. Even you.",
"Dawson: What does that mean?",
"Jack: Well, don't you think it's possible, what's driving this, uh, this Tao of yours is nothing more than fear?",
"Dawson: I'm just trying not to make the same mistakes I've made in the past.",
"Jack: Has it ever occurred to you, san-san, that maybe they're not mistakes at all. Maybe this is exactly where you're supposed to be at this moment in time. With a girl that you wanted way before Joey potter, holding a letter that expresses exactly how you feel about her.",
"[Scene: The Store room. Joey suddenly wakes up. Drue and Joey are leaning against a box. Joey fell asleep leaning on Drue's shoulder.]",
"Joey: Oh, I thought it was just a nightmare.",
"Drue: Good morning to you, too.",
"Joey: Did you actually sleep?",
"Drue: I couldn't. Someone was sawing some serious lumber.",
"Joey: I do not snore.",
"Drue: You could have laid waste to an entire national forest.",
"Joey: I'm surprised I could even sleep. You aware of the 24-hour antiperspirant?",
"[Buzzing]",
"Joey: What's that buzzing?",
"Drue: What's what buzzing?",
"Joey: There's something buzzing.",
"Drue: Go back to sleep. You're dreaming.",
"Joey: It's in your pocket. What is that?",
"[She reaches into his pocket and pulls out his cell phone.]",
"Drue: Hey! Hey, I'd like a dinner and a movie before we get to that.",
"Joey: You've had this in your pocket the whole time?",
"Drue: Oh, yeah. I forgot.",
"Joey: Hello? Yes, we're in the basement storage room. You can talk to him when you get down here. What's left of him.",
"Drue: We're saved!",
"Joey: You orchestrated this whole thing!",
"Drue: Now, why would I want to do something like that?",
"Joey: Because you are a sick, twisted, pathological little pervert.",
"Drue: Do you really think I'd go through all this trouble just to have you fall asleep on my shoulder?",
"Joey: Well, how do I know what you were doing while I was sleeping?",
"Drue: I resent that. I was a complete gentleman. I absolutely did not peek down your shirt at your eggshell-colored, 34c, maiden form, wire-rimmed bra with the little cute pink bow in the front clasp.",
"[Mrs. Valentine opens the door and comes in.]",
"Drue: Mother, thank god!",
"Mrs. Valentine: My god! What have you done to my son?",
"Joey: Ask him. It was all his doing.",
"Mrs. Valentine: Oh, you're actually going to suggest that my son would rather be locked in a closet with you than spend the weekend with his father?",
"Joey: [realizing everything] I'll see you at school, Drue.",
"[Scene: Gretchen and Pacey's place. Gretchen pulls up to the house and walks over to the mailbox, where she pulls out a letter and begins to read it . It is the letter that Dawson wrote all those years ago. We hear Dawson's voice as she reads it. The scene fades from Her to Dawson, to Grams and Mr. Brooks on a bench together, to Pacey and Joey sitting wrapped up in each other on her pier, and back to her driving.]",
"Dawson: Dear Gretchen, I really enjoyed talking to you in your room today. Try not to be nervous about starting high school. I know you're going to find people who understand you. There's something that I didn't get a chance to tell you. There's someone truly special in my life that I can't stop thinking about. She's unlike anyone I've ever met. Smart and funny and beautiful, and just knowing that she's in my life has given me this constant fluttering that keeps me awake at night. When I think about who I can talk to about this, who will understand. The only person that comes to mind is you. And that's a problem, because you are the one that I feel this way about. I think about you constantly, every little thing you do. The Elvis Costello sticker you put in your spiral notebook, the way your bangs have grown out every day now for 6 months until Monday when you were finally able to put it all in a ponytail. And today when you invited me to stay and talk to you after Pacey left. It occurred to me that you must think about me, too. If I tried to tell anyone else, they would say that you and I are impossible, that our lives are too different, that we could never be right for each other. But we understand each other and we care about each other. And years from now, I believe that we still will. Your friend forever. Love, Dawson.",
"[She pulls up to Dawson's house where he is outside putting away some of the cleaning supplies. He turns to see Gretchen pull up, and he watches her walk up to him with a smile on her face and a tear in her eye.]",
"Dawson: What took you so long?",
"Gretchen: I had a few things to do first.."
