Quotes

add »
Joey: So, thank you.
Dawson: For what?
Joey: For being my friend, for understanding me better than anyone, and for putting up with me for the last 16 years... I love you.
Dawson: I love you, too. (edit)
Dawson: Joey... these past 3 years you have been so... unbelievably strong. I mean you've let the... the petty gossip and judgements of this town roll right off you. Don't let them get to you now. Now is the time to dig in your heels and to show them you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, and you're not alone in this, you have your father now, you have a family again... and you will always have me. (edit)
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? Huh? (edit)
Pacey: You know, I wish I had money like these people. When somebody in my family gets married, you end up wearing polyester, they serve fish sticks for appetizers and the whole thing winds up in a drunken brawl. (edit)
Jack: Hey guys, did uh, Joey talk to you yet?
Dawson: About what?
Jack: Well the Ice House is catering a wedding on Saturday and we need some extra hands, it's 60 bucks for the day.
Pacey: Sold! For 60 bucks I'd cater your ass.
Jack: (Laughs) Well, that won't be necessary. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Pacey: (To Andie) You're just a regular Pollyanna today, aren't ya?

In the movie Pollyanna, the main character was always happy, cheery, made the best of things... etc. When Pacey said this to Andie he was obviously being sarcastic because she was being grumpy and talking about how messed up her family is. (edit)
