Dawson's Creek

Jen: Drue Valentine in Capeside. God helps us all.

Grams: All my talk of faith and when I need it most, I have none. Jen: That's cause you lent it to me. Listen, I was terrified out there tonight. But I still had hope, you know? So I figured I must have gotten it from somebody.

(To Dawson) Mitch: No matter where your life takes you, you can look back on it and know you did a great thing. That's something that all the girls, all the thank yous in the world can't replace.

Mitch: Just doesn't seem fair, does it? Dawson: What's that? Mitch: That you saved the day, you still don't get the girl. Though maybe, just maybe you've done something more important.

(About Dawson) Joey: You knew he was going to come for you, didn't you? Pacey: What makes you say that? Joey: Cause you know him just as well as he knows you. It's the nature of best friends.

(To Pacey) Joey: Can you do me a favor? In the future when you're dealing with life and death matters... remember that you're thinking for two.

(To Mrs. Valentine) Andie: At the end of the day, Mrs. Valentine, I'm nothing like you. I don't derive any pleasure in wielding whatever little power I have over others. So, you know what, just give me whatever recommendation you see fit, because if anyone at that university knows you half as well as I've gotten to know you, it's not going to count for much, anyway.

Mr. Brooks: What else did you have in mind besides reckless regrets? Dawson: I have some money from the summer that I was saving for college. Grams: Which is exactly what you'll keep on doing. That boat, is a thing, a replaceable thing. This young man risked his life to save my granddaughter. And the fact that you can't appreciate his courage explains to me while you've lived all alone all these years in that God forsaken house. And if I found out that you let him dip into his college fund, I will personally... kick your shriveled old butt.

(To Dawson) Gale: Honey, what you did was reckless, dangerous, and completely foolish. Mitch: And we've never been more proud of you in our entire lives.

(To Pacey) Dawson: People care more about you than you care about this damn boat!

Pacey: I regret the way that things are between me and Dawson right now. Jen: Have you ever thought about saying something? Pacey: What difference would it make to say something? It doesn't change any of our situations. Jen: Well, it might just feel good to say.

Jen: There's nothing you would want to change? Nothing? Pacey: No. There's nothing I want to change because it's life's little twists and turns and bumps and bruises that make you who you are. So why regret that? Jen: Alright, well, I have a regret. I regret that I've never been in love.

Pacey: I don't know, because I'm guessing, just like I've been guessing about everything else this afternoon. But sooner or later I gotta be right about something. I mean, that's the law of averages. Right? I have to get one right.

Jen: Okay Pacey, tell me something good. I really want to hear something good right now. Pacey: (Patches a hole) Well, if you're going to have a hole in your hull, it's good to have one up that high. That good?

Mr. Brooks: They stole my boat? Andie: No, I'm sure they didn't steal it. They probably just borrowed it. Mr. Brooks: Semantics. Like the difference between jail and prison.

Joey: Dawson, you can't solo the open seas. Not in this weather. Dawson: Joey... Joey: Look, I can't worry about the both of you!

Dawson: Do you know if there's a boat I can borrow around here? Joey: I think Mrs. Valentine has a spare set of keys to all the boats at the club. Drue: (Walks in holding a set of keys) Which is why it's always a good idea to be nice to Mrs. Valentine's little boy. Try slip 41, the Artful Dodger. Don't let the old geeze see.

Jen: We have no radio and we're heading for a cove that you don't know the name of. Who the hell is gonna find us there? Pacey: Dawson! Dawson will know!

Jack: (About the weather) Look, I came early. It's really getting ugly out there. Andie: (About the interview with Mrs. Valentine) Not half as ugly as it got back here.

Mrs. Valentine: I've been given the task of judging your ability to handle the ardent pressures of one of the most difficult, collegiate environments in the country. My name is on the line. Andie: You know what? You're right. My background does have a baring on my ability to handle pressure. I had a problem, I recognized that, sought treatment, and recovered. And the fact that I had the courage to face my problems and get help, I think only makes me better prepared to face the pressures of college than most of my peers.

Andie: I guess I would say that my greatest strength is my tenacity. Which is probably my greatest weakness, too. My brother Jack is always telling me I don't know when to quit. Mrs. Valentine: I see. But what about your illness? Isn't that a weakness? Andie: Nope. Actually, I consider it a strength. It taught me the importance to ask for help when something's too tough to handle on your own.

Jen: You'd never be first to admit it's getting scary. Pacey: This is nothing. I've seen this before. Jen: Where? In The Perfect Storm?

Pacey: If someone hadn't used up all the batteries of the portable marine band, we could have got the storm report. Jen: Yeah, well if somebody owned something other than Zeppelin tapes, 1-4, we wouldn't have needed the radio!

Joey: After ten years of friendship, what's done is done? Dawson: No, after the greatest betrayal of my life, what's done is done. Joey: Dawson, I was a part of that betrayal. Dawson: Yes, but you apologized for it. You already showed some remorse for what happened. Pacey could care less. Which is fine. It's just not the kind of person I'm going to race out and be friends with again. And it's time for everyone to just accept that reality and move on with their lives.

Drue: Must be the Star Wars thing. Dawson: Star Wars thing? Drue: It's classic. You're obviously Luke to this Pacey guy's Han Solo. See, you're the stuff of pre-teen daydreams. Cute, smart, non-threatening. Which is great and all, but not for Princess Joey here who's clearly smack dab in the middle of her bad boy stage. Joey: So how do you fit into this whole scenario, Dru? Jabba the Hutt, I think.

Jen: It must have been hard as hell to turn this boat around and come back to reality. Pacey: That's an understatement. Jen: You can just forget about the world out here. Pacey: Yeah, you can almost forget that your girlfriend is spending the entire afternoon with her ex-soulmate.

Dawson: Why does everybody treat me like my head is going to spontaneously explode every time her name is mentioned. Gale: Because it did. Dawson: Three months ago. Which in teenager time is like a decade. Joey's got her life and I've got mine.

(To Jack about taking pills) Andie: It is a little scary. But, it's just like Dr. Newman said, in times of high stress, it can't hurt to have an extra line of defense.

(To Pacey, about him and Dawson off Joey's comment) Jen: She's right, Pacey. One day one of you is gonna have to put an end to this era of silence.

Grams: Jennifer, I'm not so old that I don't remember how important senior fall term is. Jen: Old enough to call it fall term.

(Discussing about The 'Two Gentlemen of Verona') Joey: I think nothing about this topic is black and white, Dawson.

Jen: (To Pacey) Two things you should know: I absolutely refuse to make out with you. And there's a distinct possibility I'll puke. Joey: What do you know, Pacey? Those are my two things.

Pacey: I'm not leaving my boat! Dawson: You're not gonna make it! Pacey: I'm not leaving my boat! Dawson: I'm not leaving you! (Jumps onto Pacey's boat)

Drue: (Cell phone rings) Hello, hey gorgeous. Dawson: Unbelievable. Joey: Unacceptable. (Grabs cell phone) Hello, gorgeous is it? Hi, yes, this is Drue's doctor and he's gonna have to get back to you when the syphilis clears up, ok? Bye-bye.

Pacey: Jo, the best memories of my life are on that sail boat. They represent everything that is good to me in this world, so you've just gotta excuse me if I'm having a bit of a hard time letting all that go right now. Joey: No, I won't excuse you. I don't think I've ever been more scared for someone in my entire life.
