When Jen goes out onto Dawson's porch she can be seen lighting up and smoking a cigarette. This is the only time in the entire episode we see Jen smoke.
Joey: I'm sorry for using the mother card. I keep it in my back pocket and it's way too easy. I shouldn't have done it.
Dawson: Joey, I don't know what I would do if I lost my mother.
Joey: It hurts, Dawson. (Pauses) I mean, you're born, and you die, and you make a lot of mistakes in between. You know? (Pauses) Funny thing is, you know... now that she's gone... I can't seem to remember a single mistake.
Dawson: Everything's postponed because of the hurricane. My life included.
Joey: Dawson, your life is a hurricane.
Dawson: Got a new award for you mom, but it's not a trophy. It comes in the form of an A and you have to stitch it right here. (Gestures to his chest.) Congratulations.
(Walking in the kitchen and finding his parents kissing.)
Dawson: A flashlight, candles, cold shower and batteries.
Gale: I'm an adult Joey. I'm supposed to set an example.
Bodie: What do you object to, Mrs. Ryan? The fact that I'm black and she's white? Or the fact that we're unmarried and about to have a child born out of sin?
Grams: What I object to, more then any of that, is when children raise children. Is when young people like Bessie and yourself have no background in parenting of a mixed race baby. Get ready, Bodie. When that child is born, people will look upon him as different.
Bessie: Half-black, half-white, it doesn't matter what this child will be. Reguardless of how he looks, this child will be 100% loved.
Mitch: So... why did you do it? Why did you cheat on me?
Gale: Get ready Mitch, if you think it can't get worse, it can. My reason why I was unfaithful is preposterous. I have no reason. I woke up one day a few months ago and I realized that my life was perfect. Everything I've ever wanted from the time I was six, has been realized. I've discovered that perfection obtained is a discomforting state. And I got restless. What do you do when everything in your life is right? When everything is just what you wanted it to be? I have the perfect home, career, the most gifted child, a husband who stimulates me mind, body, and soul every day of my life. I wanted more for nothing. And I guess that made me feel empty not wanting. I justed wanted to "want" again. So, I set out to achive it. And, boy oh boy, did I succeed. Because what I want now, I want back everything I've lost. Mitch, I'm so sorry. It was...
Mitch: Shhh. Let's just sit here. I don't want to talk anymore.
Jen: Are you okay?
Dawson: I don't get it. I have these two adolescent parents that bump like rabbits everyday of their life. You'd think that would be enough. Evidently Dad couldn't keep up and Mom just said 'Hey!'
Jen: Don't Dawson. These things have very little to do with sex.
Dawson: Is the proposition of monogomy such a Jurassic notion? I mean, is it no longer reasonable to think that two people can be enough for each other their entire lives?
Jen: I don't know.
Dawson: Maybe it's chemical. Maybe it's some kind of hormonal imbalance that causes one to fornicate with their coworkers. Maybe it's not just Bob. Maybe it includes the whole 6 and 11 action news team.
Jen: Your mother is a good woman.
Dawson: You defend her, you would. It makes sense.
Jen: Excuse me?
Dawson: You heard me.
Jen: Yeah and you better clarify yourself right now before I rip your head off.
Mitch: It's Bob, isn't it? The first time I saw you, it on the pier at the marina and you were with that girlfriend of yours, that woman who would never shut up. Talk, talk, talk all the time. I can't remember her name. It was one of those soap opera names, you know like, I don't know, like, Lexis, or Dorian.
Gale: Phoebe.
Mitch: Ah, Phoebe. And from the minute Phoebe introduced us, I knew that I loved you. I mean, it was that quick, you know, because love comes that quick. It's like a decision. Love is a decision that you make and I made it, right there on the spot. What I need for you to know is that our love came quick and it's lasted. It's weathered the storm. But as quickly as I made that decision 20 years ago to love you, I'm taking it back. I don't want to love you anymore. I choose to hate you now.
Gale: No, Mitch. Don't.
Mitch: It's already done just like that. So I suggest that you get OUT OF THE CAR before I physically remove you from it.
(Dawson flops on his bed after fighting with Jen, then hears a sneeze)
Dawson: Oh, don't tell me.
(Opens his closet door to find Joey inside)
Joey: Don't mind me. Just passing through.
Gale: I discovered perfection obtained is a discomforting state...
Dawson: Take two?
Jen: (Crying) Um hmm.
Pacey: (To Ms. Jacobs) Well, I'd be older, so I could tell the world about this wonderful woman who I am rapidly falling in love with.
Mitch: (To Gale) I don't want to love you anymore. I choose to hate you now.
Jen: Well, I guess I'm no longer the virgin queen of Dawson Leery's hand-held fantasies.
Jen: We're not all as pious as you, Dawson. Some of us are not imaginary characters in a Spielberg film. Some of us live in reality.
Jen: Oh, Grams, I forgot to tell you the Lord sent a fax while you were out. Something about the Armageddon.
Doug: Listen, Pacey! I'm not gay!
Dawson: Gotta get ready for Hurricane Bob.
Gale: Hurricane Chris.
Dawson: Oh, that's right. Chris is the hurricane. Bob's the anchorman.
Joey: (To Dawson) Fasten your seatbelt. It's gonna be a bumpy life.
