When Pacey is reeling the fishing pole in, the boom mic is visible.
(Pacey has just won a first place trophy for catching a large blue marlin fish) Sheriff John Witter: Well, be proud of yourself. Enjoy this moment. A loser like you probably won't have many more like it. (Sheriff Witter walks off as Pacey angrily sits and Dawson walks over having heard everything) Pacey: (To Dawson) Do you have any idea how many times I set myself for that line, over and over and over again? I just can't stop myself from just trying to get one qualified, "good job, son", out of that bastard. He must be right. I really must be a simpleton. Dawson: I know it's not the same, but there are other people in your life who recognize and respect your talent and intelligence. One of them is standing right in front of you. The other one is probably sitting in her bedroom having a perky coronary in anticipation from your return from sea.
Dawson: Pacey how could you forget to tell me that Jack was coming with us? Come on, I need some preparation time before facing my adversary who stole Joey away from... Pacey: (Interrupting) You know what? Screw you, Dawson! This world does not always revolve around you. We can't all be the fair-haired embodiment of perfection. Not all of us have wonder-keen and genius attached to their names. Some of us, like my father and myself, are just simple-minded folk trying to make it through the day without breaking something.
Pacey: This sucks, dad. Sheriff John Witter: Lots of things in life suck, Pacey! That's why it's my job to prepare a loser like you for that inevitability.
(The girls are watching a porno video found in Dawson's room) Abby: You are aware that where this tape begins, Dawson finished? Andie: Finished what? Jen: Shaking hands with the unemployed. Joey: Boxing the bald-headed bishop. Abby: Test-firing the missile. Andie: All right, I get your point, guys.
Abby: I make a cancer joke and Joey gets mad, or I make a crazy joke and Andie gets upset, or I make a joke about ho-bags and Jen starts humping the couch.
Abby: I play a crucial role in this little circle. I'm the girl everyone loves to hate. I'm the one you can take all your anger and aggression out on. Why you ask? Why can't I be sweet? Because sweet is boring. I don't have family lives like you guys. My parents divorce is boring, my house is boring, there's no drama. So, you know what? I create drama. And I think that's a valid extracurricular activity.
John: This is what I mean, Pacey. It's the same thing with you over and over again. The simplest instructions in the world and you find any excuse not to follow them. How do you expect me to give you more responsibility if you can't even adhere to the most rudimentary directions. When I speak, you listen. Don't think, just do! Please! I'm not asking that much!
Pacey: So I guess this is as good of time as any to have that father-son talk. (In a gruff voice) So, how ya doin' in school, Pacey? (Back to normal) Actually, Dad, I'm doing alright. I'm really turning things around. Turns out I'm pretty smart. (Gruff voice) Good man, Pacey. Always knew you'd turn out to be something. How the ladies treating you? (Back to normal) Well, I met this woman. (Gruff voice) Is she cute? (Back to normal) (Laughs) Aw, cute, man. Andie's beautiful. She's smart. She's funny. I tell ya, this girl is something special.For whatever reason, she seems to think I'm pretty special, too. Why can't you see that? Why can't you see me, huh? When did you give up on me? When I was 5? 10? 12? I'm 16 years old, Dad! (Starting to cry)) And I'm here and I'm not provin' that but I'm trying so hard for you. It's your job. It's your job to love me no matter who I am or what I become because you're my father! You're my dad! You're supposed to love me you son of a bitch. I can't do this by myself.
