Principal Green: Good morning, I'm Principal Green. Welcome to the new school year. Like all of you, in my junior year of high school, I had a new principal. My first day back, he stood before us and imparted some honest and touching words, words which were ment to usher into what he called one of the best years of our lives. This is not that speach. We live in a different time. You children are living and thinking like people twice your age, and why shouldn't you? The rites of passage which onced marked growing up are all but extinct. In short, I'm onto you people. I'm one step ahead of you, for example, like that gentleman in the fifth row who's talking while I'm making a speach. Please stand, sir.
Pacey: Me?
Principal Green: What's your name, sir?
Pacey: (Sarcastic) I don't suppose you'd accept 'Che Guevara', would you?
Principal Green: Probably not.
Pacey: Pacey Witter.
Principal Green: Mr. Witter, I'd like to applaud you for being the first student at Capeside who behaves like one. It is my hope that you all some day will act as such. Be a free thinker. Reclaim your youth, live, learn, screw up. Keep up the good work, Mr. Witter. Oh and by the way, I'll see you on Saturday... for detention!
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.
Jen: When you see Belinda and her clique in the hallway, you're desperately wishing that you were walking with them, aren't you? And thinking that maybe if you were wearing the right shoes, sporting the latest hairstyle, and using the hottest shade of lip gloss, then maybe they would toss a glance in your direction. Ever wonder why they force their narrow-minded opinions down our throats? Perhaps it's because they have an inkling of what the future has in store for them beyond graduation. Cut to 25 years from now, Belinda McGovern wakes up one morning feeling empty. Maybe it's because her Dartmouth-educated lawyer husband Tad has run off to Tijuana with her daughter's roommate from boarding school. Or maybe it's because the twins, Timmy and Tommy, call her by her first name and their live-in housekeeper "Mom." Or maybe it's Belinda's daily 2:00, 5:00, 7:00, and 9:15 showdown with her bottle of Prozac. Her life has become a domestic wasteland. Avoid this fate. Don't let yourself 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.
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.
Joey: How would you know what I need?
Pacey: Yeah, You know, 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.
Joey: (To Dawson) So you love me... You just don't want me.
Dawson: Things aren't the same anymore, Jo.
Joey: It doesn't have to be the same Dawson. It's a new year. Things can be different. And they can be better.
Eve: Listen, Dawson, anything that's worth anything is scary. Or dangerous in one way or another.
Dawson: Do you have a fever or something?
Eve: Oh, that's just me. My temperature. I run a few degrees hot.
In the opening credits, when all of them are on the swing, a palm tree can be seen in the background. However, palm trees don't grow in Massachusetts where the show is set.
There is a trivia section on one of the DVDs that lists certain classes and teachers the main characters had as Freshman English, etc. However the main characters started High School in their Sophomore year, staying in Capeside High from 10th to 12th grade.
During the Pilot episode, Joey says that they "start High School on Monday", implying it is the first time they enter High School and then when they meet Jen, all agree that they are about starting their 10th grade. In both seasons 1 and 2 the main characters are their Sophomore year, but in this season 3, during their Junior year, Jen meets Henry who is usually referred to as a Freshman although Capeside High is supposed to be 10th through 12th grade.
The opening sequence for half of the season 3 follows the past seasons' format which are scenes of the cast together in the creek. However, it later changed to a recompilation of some episode scenes.
This second version of this season's opening credits remained the same for the fourth season opening credits and wasn't changed until the fifth season.
Kerr Smith and Meredith Monroe are also featured between the main cast as it follows: James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams and Joshua Jackson, Kerr Smith and Meredith Monroe.
Eve (Brittany Daniel) is introduced in this episode.
Music featured in the episode included:
Old Time Rock & Roll by Bob Seger
Who's Who by The Pretenders
Sleep Together by Garbage
Dead Again by Buckcherry
Let Us Sing by Tricky Woo
Push It by Garbage
Hold On by Mary Beth Maziarz
Meredith Monroe (Andie McPhee) is featured in the main cast, although Andie does not appear in this episode.
Principal Green: What's your name, sir?
Pacey: (Sarcastic) I don't suppose you'd accept 'Che Guevara', would you?
Ernesto Che Guevara (1928-1967), commonly known as Che Guevara or El Che, was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, politician, author, physician, military theorist, and guerrilla leader.
The episode title Like a Virgin refers to a song by Madonna.
Bespectacled Girl (Stacey): We don't wanna wait for this game to be over...
The attempted cheer is a reference to Paula Cole's song I Don't Want To Wait, which happens to be the theme song for Dawson's Creek.
