Dawson's Creek Season 4 Episode 18

(After confessing to her father she witnessed him having sex with a teenager)
Jen: You knew, didn't you? Oh, god, all this time. My life got uglier and messier, and then you sent me away. You... you made me feel ashamed. You... you punished me for all these things that were beyond my control. You saw me standing in the doorway. Ohh! And you never said anything. I wasn't...
Mr. Lindley: I didn't...
Jen: No. I don't need a confession from you. That's not why I came here. I don't need you to apologize to me for all the pain that you've caused me, and I don't have to forgive you. All I have to do is forgive myself for these things that I can't change. Good-bye, daddy.

Gretchen: I want to make love to you so much. So much. And I really believe that that was why we came here, but it's not. I guess just as much as I want you and I love you, we're not gonna do this.
Dawson: Why not?
Gretchen: Because when we go there, it's not gonna be because you have something to prove to yourself. It's gonna be because we love each other, and because we're prepared to show each other what that really means.

(Picking Pacey up who has been reported drunk and disorderly)
Doug: You're not satisfied with being a moron and failure. You gotta add drunk to your list of credentials?
Pacey: (Gets angry and attacks Doug) What? This is it for me! (Doug tries to hold him off) This is my whole life right here! This is all I get.

Dawson: I still have my distortions and my delusions. I still think that everything should be perfect, and that Joey and I should have slept together for the first time. What I realized is that I gotta let go. You know, it's time. And there's so much ahead of me. I mean, there's college, there's... there's this new baby... and there's you.
Gretchen: So what are you saying?
Dawson: I'm in love with you, and I no longer remember what we're waiting for.
Gretchen: Neither do I.

Jen: (To Joey) Thanks for coming with me today. I needed you.

Joey: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Jen, Jen! Look... after urgent realization and revelation, you travel all the way to New York City to see this man, to confront him about something in what I'm feeling will be one of the seminal moments of your entire life. I've been there... at least close enough to know that it only happens once, so you'd better take a second to think about what that's gonna be.

Joey: I feel like I'm not gonna see you again.
Jen: You will.

Joey: You don't have a meeting at the University of New York, do you? (Jen looks at Joey like she's busted) What are we doing here?
Jen: I gotta see my dad. I've just been thinking about things lately, why things are the way they are, and, uh, I think I'm just not gonna know until I see him. But you should take in the city. You only got one day and you got so much stuff to see. And I'm, you know, I'm gonna be fine. Most likely.

Teacher: Mr. Witter. My favorite and only senior. Far as I know, all the college acceptance letters have officially been sent. How are your options?
Pacey: They are narrowing by the minute, sir.

(Jen is debating about staying in NY or going back to Capeside)
Joey: Well, I can't believe it. I mean, it's so far away from where we live, Jen. I mean, honestly, I can't believe there is even any debate about whether or not you wanna go back.
Jen: What about that thing that they always say, though, you know, that you can never really go home again?
