Quotes

add »
Pacey: I wouldn't have arrived that far if I had you 5 feet away from me, or 25 feet for what matters, because every time I look at you there's only one thing I want to do.
Joey: Do tell?
(Pacey kisses her) (edit)
(After Joey throws the coffee over the reporter)
Joey: It was an accident.
Pacey: An accident? Really? Why do I find this so hard to believe?
Joey: You better get going. You don't want to miss your fifteen minutes of fame. (edit)
Pacey: You forgot to make the coffee this morning.
Joey: You were a chef, you know how to make it. (edit)
Heather: What's my point?
Dawson: I don't know.
Heather: My point is, if you want to make a movie with us, find a way to tell your story while still appealing to the lowest common denominator. Pitch Larry the same thing you pitched to me but throw in a stripper, a three way or like an affair with a teacher or something.
Dawson: I can do that. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When Joey and Pacey are arguing in his office, Joey's hair changes from being split in two strands hanging off both sides of her face to being tucked behind her ears, even though during the entire time Joey's arms have been supporting her as she leans forward on Pacey's desk. (edit)
Goof: When Joey hands the reporter a cup of coffee in Pacey's office, the cup is obviously empty. It tilts noticeably to one side because it is light and lacks any fluid. (edit)
Goof: When Pacey and Joey start kissing in Pacey's office, her hair is tied up on top of her head. However, when they turn and fall on the couch, Joey's hair is completely loose. No one undid her hair at no point during this transition. (edit)
