I don't recall
Requesting the pleasure
Of your company, pacey.

Rag?

Brush.

You know,

After van gogh
Chopped off
His own ear,

There was a rash
Of copycat
Mutilations

Amongst his students.

Your point being...

Well, my point being

That the whole world
Reveres the artist,

Envies their talent,
Wants to be just
Like them.

So that's what
I'm doing here.

I'm hoping
Some of your genius
Will rub off on me.

You got kicked out
Of your house again.

No. Not exactly
Kicked out.
It's more like

They're filming
A lifetime
Original movie

In my living room
Right now.

And which one
Of the witter sisters

Is in complete distress
Right now?

That would be
numero uno.

Left the sergeant
Major for conduct
Unbecoming,

Fled back
To the home front,

And, of course,
Brought along
My screaming nieces.

Oh.

So I finally get my own room,

And you have been exiled
To sofa city.

Ouch.

My sentiments
Exactly.

So, uh...

So, what do you think?

Oh, is it done?

Yes, it's done.

I thought
That principal green

Had commissioned you guys
To do murals

Exemplifying school spirit and unity.

He did.

Oh.

Well...No offense,
But this looks
Like something

You'd find tattooed
On kwai chang caine's
Forehead.

You don't like it.

I didn't say
I don't like it.
I'm...

Pretty sure the rest
Of the murals

Will probably
Be a little more
Traditional, but--

What, like football players
And lighthouses?

And what do they actually
Say about the high school
Experience?

Joe, this is
The u.S. Of a.

We're a very prosaic
Nation,

And when we have art
In public places,

We want it to be
About as subtle
As godzilla.

Yeah, but, pacey,
Don't you think that
Art can have this power?

I mean, it can bring
People together.

Oh, yeah,
Absolutely.

In museums,

The thinking man's
Pickup joint.

And that's what I like
About you, pacey.

You just...Go so deep.

Thanks.

No peeking.

What, I don't get
A preview?

No.

Why not? Pacey did.

Dawson, the unveiling
Is a crucial part
To any new work,

And...I want you to have
The complete experience.

He didn't tell you
What it is, did he?

No. He didn't.
But he said
It was great.

That means a lot,
Coming from

The world's
Most discriminating
Art critic.

Hey. Well, he...
He knows what he likes.

Dawson, pacey's
Prized possession

Is a black
Velvet painting
Of the baby elvis.

No.

So how's
Your speech coming?

I don't know why
I have to even say
Anything. I mean,

Isn't an artist
Just supposed
To let her work

Speak for itself?

Yeah, but when ptas
And the school board

Let you paint
Something in the hallway
Of a public school,

They expect a little
Poignant ceremony in return.

So are you
Gonna be there?

Of course!

I mean,
If you want me to.

Yeah.

I want you to.

Ok.

And whatever
You think,

Be honest
With me,
You know.

Even if
You hate it--

Even if I hate--
What makes you think
I'm gonna hate it?

Nothing.

It's just...

The stepping out
From behind the curtain?

I can understand that.
It can be terrifying.

Up there in the lights
In front of all those people.

Being judged.

Well, it's even more
Than that. I mean...

I feel like I'm...

Declaring myself
For the first time.
I mean...

What I really think
About this place,
And...

With everyone
Staring at it,

It's gonna be like
They're all looking
Right into my soul.

Give me a break.
It was a joke.

There's nothing
Funny about
Cheating, matt.

Principal green...

Members of the
Disciplinary committee...

I--I admit it.

I--I didn't know
The answer on the quiz,

So--so I did what
Any self-respecting kid
Would do

In the cellular age,
You know?

I whipped out my startac,
I dialed home,

And--and I asked my mom,

"How many justices sit
On the supreme court?"

You know, call me crazy,
You know--

Even mr. Higgins laughed.

Ok, and you claim

That your mother didn't
Know the answer either?

Uh-huh.

Ok. So...

How do you explain
Your perfect score
On the quiz?

I guessed.

Ok. Um, well,

Then I guess
My recommendation
Would be

That you get a failing grade
On the work in question

And a 3-hour detention.

Why don't you just
Bust my kneecaps
While you're at it?

That'll be enough,
Mr. Caufield.

While your behavior
Clearly violates

The letter of
The honor code,

I do not believe
It is in violation
Of the spirit.

Am I free
To go then?

Yes, you're free to go.

Mr. Caufield.

Let's let this
Be the last time

We see you
Before this committee.

Uh, andie...

Would you wait
For me for a minute,
Please?

Sure.

Um, principal green,

I'm really sorry
About earlier.

I overreacted
To the--

No, that's not
What this is about.

Andie, I have news.

News?

I was contacted
This morning

By the educational
Testing service.

Andie...

Your phenomenal
Psat results

Have placed you among
The top 50,000 scorers
In the country.

You, young lady,
Have taken one giant step

Toward a national
Merit scholarship.

Isn't that fantastic?

Fantastic.

Andie, what's wrong?

You seem stunned.

No. No, no.

It's just, um...

Well, it's just--
Yeah...

I'm a little
Stunned.

Congratulations.

No. No.

No! Look!

Pacey, last time
You were here,

You left water
Rings on my deco
Coffee table.

Dougie, mom and dad
Just wanted me to bring
You something, that's all.

Yeah? What?

Me!

Look, what
Are you doing?

I'm moving in, bro.

Wh--excuse me?

You heard me.
I'm moving in.

Oh, look, dad gave me
A check to give to you,

It's, uh, like
A security deposit

In case I break
Your stereo.

You're not breaking
My stereo, because you're
Not touching my stereo,

'cause you're not
Moving in with me.
Not now, not ever.

This is not party of five.

Come on, dougie,
Please.

You can't
Make me go back
To that house.

I mean,
Think about it.

You got this whole
Stylin' bachelor pad

All to yourself
With the...
Nice lighting

And the fancy
Window dressings

And all
The other trappings

Of the modern
Extremely closeted
Homosexual male,

And I don't
Even have a room
To myself anymore.

Since when?

Well, since carrie
Decided to take

An extended leave of
Absence from jerry.

You remember jerry,
Don't you?

Our favorite
Brother-in-law,

The one with
All the tattoos?

And of course
She brought along
The no-neck monsters

Who are currently
Residing in my room.

So what do you say,
Man?

Can I stay here,
Please?

Ok, look,

if I agree to this--

And it is a very big "If"--

There will be rules.

I am your willing pupil.

We don't eat anything
That mom sends over.

The woman thinks
That iceberg lettuce
Is haute cuisine.

Agreed.

The coaster.

Live it, love it,
Use it at all times.

Done.

You will keep
The cd collection

In alphabetical order
By last name, not first.

Do you understand?

Oh, yeah, perfectly.
But I don't foresee
The need for me

To dip into
Your diva collection
Anytime too soon.

Oh, I think
You would be surprised

At how a tortured,
Impassioned female voice

Can soothe
An achy-breaky heart.

My heart is just fine,
Thank you very much.

Oh, sure it is,
Little brother.
Sure it is.

Look, dougie,
If you're referring

To our brief
Jailhouse conversation
The other night,

You can just chalk it up
To drunken rambling.

Well, there won't be any
Of that on my watch.

And I won't have
Any moping around

Like a lovesick puppy
Either.

By the way,

Are you any good
At decoupage?

Oh, god help me...

You're not planning
On taking pictures?

Uh, don't try
And stop her, joey.

When a little sister
Accomplishes something
Impressive,

It's very important
For a big sister

To create a huge,
Embarrassing fuss
Over her.

Yeah, and the more
Embarrassing,
The better.

Thank you.
I know it's not gonna
Be too fun for you

To walk the halls
Of capeside again,

Seeing as it wasn't
Exactly your favorite
Place on earth.

Yeah, but I'm old,
Remember?

And that was
A long time ago,

And things
Are different now.

They're not that different.
What, are there, like,

10 black kids
In that school?

11.

And don't try to rewrite
History, bess. I mean...

I remember the days
You used to pick me up
From kindergarten

And complain the whole way
Home about some...

Smug, 2-faced idiots
Who thought they were
Better than you

Simply because you had
The wrong kind of jeans.

Ok, I admit it.

I hated high school,
But that's why
I'm so glad

It's not like that
For you, joey.

You're talented,

And everybody
At that school
Knows it,

They've known it
For years,

And today
They're going to see
Proof positive

That joey potter

Is a force
To be reckoned with.

...And I painted this

So that we all can remember
The beacon of knowledge

That our teachers
Shine on us every day.

In closing, I would like
To thank principal green

And all of you for this
Opportunity to impart
My message of unity.

And now, the last of
Our capeside high murals.

I'd like to ask
Joey potter to step up

And grace us with a few words
About her creation.

Well, uh, principal green
Said the mural should focus

On what unifies us
As a school, and...

You think about it,
Nothing really unifies us.

Even our mascot
Is divisive--
The minuteman?

Right there,
You've alienated half
The student population.

So...The only thing
That I could think of

That unites us all--
That we all have in common--

Is that we all start off
In kindergarten thinking

That we can be anything
That we wanna be,

And by the time we get here,
We've somehow lost that feeling.

We've all started to believe
Whatever our parents or
Our friends have told us

About what we can achieve
And who we can be in life,

And we've forgotten about
That possibility we had
When we were younger.

And that's what I think
We all have in common,

And that's what the symbol
On my painting means--

Possibility.
I painted it because
I thought we could all use

A daily reminder
That if you believe
In yourself,

Even when the odds
Seem stacked against you,
Anything's possible.

So, I hope you like it.

Excuse me.

Joey.

Hey, wait up.
You ok?

That's what I get
For answering the call
To public service--

Public humiliation.

Nobody's humiliated except for
Maybe the person who did this.

It felt humiliating,
Dawson, to me.

Look, it was
A silly prank.

You don't know that.

You put your heart
And soul into that,

And I don't blame
You for being angry,
But don't turn this

Into some sort of
Personal attack
On you.

Not to stick my nose
In here, but just
To stick my nose in,

Of course it was
A personal attack.
What?

There were only 3 murals
In that hallway.

Yours was the only one
That got touched.
So?

So either someone
Didn't like what joey
Was trying to say,

Or someone just
Didn't like you.

Your logic leaves
A lot to be desired.

Dawson, we're in
High school here.

It's a veritable society
Unto its own

With a pecking order that
Makes the caste system
Look forgiving.

Who knows what subtle line
You may have crossed

Or what offense you might
Have given without
Knowing it?

Paranoid much?

You don't think
There's a possibility

There's somebody out
There who hates joey
Just for being joey?

Who hates the way she talks,
The way she dresses,

The way she chews
On her lower lip.

I don't chew
On my lower lip!

I'm just putting
It out there.

Think about it.
Does anybody come to mind?

Why, so we can all
Gang up on him and
Call him dirty names?

Do me a favor,
Just stay out of this.

It was an act
Of vandalism,
Pure and simple.

Some idiot trying
To rage against
The machine.

That doesn't make any sense.
Perfect!

Heckle and jeckle.
This is exactly
What a girl needs

In the middle of
An existential crisis,
And it's not helping.

So thanks,
But no, thanks.

Shouldn't we, uh--
No. Let her go.

So, uh, have you heard
Any word on joey?

She's pretty
Broken up about it.

Yeah, obviously.
Who wouldn't be?

They'll catch the guy,
And you can have
The last laugh.

Huh?

D.C. Throw
The book at him.

Right, heh.
You know what?

Actually, jack,
I'm thinking about
Quitting my position.

On the disciplinary
Committee?

Andie, you're, like,
The senior-most student
Representative.

That's one step below
The savior for mankind

As far as
College admissions
Are concerned.

I know, but it's just
Taking up way too much time.

Besides, my school work's
Starting to slip,

And the more I think about it,
The more uncomfortable I feel

About sitting in judgment
Of others.

What?

I'm just
A little shocked.

Why?

It's not like you
To bail on
A commitment.

Come on, jack.
A lot of things
Aren't like me,

But I've done
Them anyway.

Can you set the table?

Yeah.

Any room at the inn?

Depends.

On what?

The length
Of the lecture

I'm gonna be forced
To sit through.

No lectures, I promise.

Although I do wanna say

That I'm sorry that what
Happened today happened.

Well, the whole thing
Was tragically lame
To begin with.

As if painting
On a wall is going
To make any change

Or the slightest bit
Of difference in school.

Maybe. Maybe not.

For some reason,
I don't like the sound
Of those maybes.

Repaint the mural.

What?

Do it tonight.

Surprise that bastard
When he shows up
Tomorrow morning.

I would rather shove
Red-hot needles

Underneath my toenails, ok?

Come on. You're
Gonna let some stupid
High school prank

Keep you from finishing
Something that you
Obviously care about?

I finished it,
Dawson, ok?

It's not my fault
That not everybody got
A chance to see it.

I can't believe
You're being like this.
Like what?

Defeated. Dejected.
Demoralized.

News flash,
I can't always be

Your plucky
Little joey potter.

I don't have this
Unlimited reserve

Of goodwill and
Good faith in humanity,

And sometimes,
I am going to be
A little depressed.

It's not about demeanor.
It's about not being a victim.

It took me a month
To do that, dawson.

I had to conceive it,
And I had to execute it,

And you can't just
Expect me to start over.

Why not?

For the same reason
You haven't shot a roll
Of film since january.

Joey, that's
Completely different.

Really?
Yes.

I chose to quit filmmaking.
That was a personal decision.

It had nothing to do
With the fact

That it
Was poorly received
At the festival?

Truthfully? No.

Well...Then how
Convenient for you.

What does that mean?

You have all of
These choices, dawson.

You have all of these
Choices that you just
Take for granted.

I mean...God...
One day, you're
A filmmaker,

And the next day,
You're not,
And tomorrow,

You could wake up
And decide you wanted
To be a sculptor,

Or you wanted to just
Backpack through europe,

Or--or--or climb
Mt. Everest,
And you can do that.

And you can't?
No, I can't.

Why not?

I can't afford
To waste the time

To go find myself
And be artistic,

And I can't afford
To just reject reality

And go off and chase
My pipe dreams.

I can't do it because
That's not my life.
That's your life.

You know what I think
This is about?

What?

I think you're relieved.

I think you're relieved
Somebody painted over
That mural...

'cause you never
Had to go through
The hard part--

Never had to show it
To the world,

Never had to hear
What anyone else
Thought about it.

You never had to decide
For yourself

How good or talented
You really are.

Wonder why I
Came over tonight?

These are the keys
To the school.

Principal green
Gave 'em to me.

Do what you want.

Oh, if it's brown,
It must be tuesday.

What do you call
These things
Again, witter?

Elephant scabs.

Packed with
Whole grain goodness.

Did you guys
See the look on
Principal green's face?

Huh?
At the unity mural thing.

I thought the guy
Was gonna have
A breakdown.

And that girl joey,
She totally lost it.
Classic.

Yeah. Look, uh...

I'm running myself
A little pool here--

Guess the true culprit.
Winner takes all.
You guys in?

How much?

It's only a buck a pop.

Had to be caufield.

Yeah,
Definitely.

What makes you guys
So sure?

'cause there's
No other possibility.
Ha ha ha!

Ok.
Caufield it is.

Hey, caufield.

Do I know you?

No, not really,
Thankfully for me.

Look, rumor has it
That you have this
Irrepressible urge

To express yourself
Artistically.

What, that thing
Yesterday at the mural?

That was
Pretty classic, huh?

Too bad I can't
Take credit for it.

So you didn't do it?

I don't know.

I mean,
Everyone seems
To think I did,

So maybe I should just
Do the polite thing

And accept the credit
And say thank you.

Maybe. But, look,
I'm here to tell you

That not everybody
Thinks what you did
Was funny.

Well,
Some people don't have
A sense of humor.

Is that your problem?

Yeah, that's me.
I'm humorless.

Hmm. What do you want?

I want you
To apologize,

And then I want you
To turn yourself in,

And I want you to do it
Before the day is done.

And why would
I do that?

Because this time, you
Just happened to mess with

Somebody I care about.

Hey, have you
Seen joey?

No. She wasn't
In home room.

That's a nice rig.

It's a christmas present.

Eh, that sucks, huh?

What's that?

Your parents shorted you
On the off-road package.

Get your hands off me.

Oh, come on, tough guy.

What the hell
Do you want?

You know
Exactly what I want.

So, what's next, witter?

You gonna sic your
Civil servant dad on me?

Can't you see...

I'm barely
Shaking in my boots?

Well,
You know my name.

That's a good
Starting place.

What I know is
I'm gonna count to 3,

And you're
Gonna step aside.

Dream another dream,
Cowboy.

That's not how this
Is gonna shake out.

1, 2, 3.

Are you whacked or something?

Oh, no. Not yet.
Not by a long shot.

What? You want me
To say I did it?

Ok. I did it.
Huh, there. Satisfied?

Ok. Good.
Now, what are you
Gonna do about it, huh?

I said, what are you
Gonna do about it!

I'm gonna go
And apologize.

Ok?

Aah.

Ugh!

Hey!

On your feet!
Both of you!

Inside! Now!

Get me dawson leery
And david curren, please.

Uh, principal green,
Can I talk to you
For a minute?

Not now, andie. I'm in
The middle of something.

Please. It'll
Only take a second,

And it's
Really important.

What is it?

I'd like to
Tender my resignation

From the
Disciplinary committee.

What?

I think that you
Have this idea about me

That--that I'm somebody
I'm not,

That I'm--I'm somebody
With unwavering integrity,

And I can't live up to that.

Can we discuss this
Later at length?

I don't know that there's
Anything more to discuss,
Principal green.

Thank you.

Now, since
Neither mr. Witter
Nor mr. Caufield

Choose to clarify
The meaning of their
Little title fight

In the parking lot,

I'm counting
On their friends

To look out for
Their best interest.
Mr. Leery?

Don't say anything, dawson.

Mr. Curren?

Not a word, dave.

Well, somebody
Better speak up,

And you better
Speak up fast...

Because a timely call to
The dean over at dartmouth

Will trigger
An immediate review on
Your early admission status.

And mr. Witter,
One more suspension
On your record,

And you can bend down
And kiss this whole higher
Education deal good-bye.

Ok. I have
No other alternative.

It's because of the mural.

Hey, shut up, dawson.
This is not your fight!

It's not yours either.

So what you're saying
Is that the reason that
Mr. Witter picked a fight

Was because he believes
That mr. Caufield

Had something to do
With the vandalization
Of the unity mural.

I went
Nowhere near that thing.

As if I could give
A rat's ass about some
Stupid chinese drawing.

If you didn't
Go anywhere near it,

How did you know
What it was?

That's a very good question.

Anyone could've
Taken a look.

She's been
Working on it for weeks.

Yeah.
At night and before school,
But other than that,

It's been sealed up
Tight as a drum.

I'm one of her closest
Friends. I didn't even
Know what it was.

You know,
This is ridiculous.

Not to mention,
If you didn't, as you say,
"Give a rat's ass,"

Then why would you
Go through all the trouble
Of finding out what it was?

Check the floor, caufield.

I think you
Just painted yourself
Into a corner.

Ok. You got me.

Busted.

Yeah. I jackson pollocked
Some meaningless mural.

You know what?
For one thing, it was ugly.

You know?
It was an eye-sore.

And not to mention,
Why do I have to look
At some trivial girl's

Little message to
The masses every morning?

Frankly, it offends me.

Possibility is offensive to you?

I'm white. I'm rich.

That's all
The possibility I need.

Say again?

You heard me.

The advance copy
Of the p.S.A.T.

That dawson had,

I'm the one
Who stole it.

That's how
I did so well
On the test, jack.

That's how I scored
In the 99th percentile.

That was you?

Oh, andie.

I know.
Surprise. Surprise.

Well, why? I mean,
You knew that stuff cold,

Inside and out,
Backwards and forwards.

If anybody was
Gonna ace that test,
It was gonna be you.

It was just sitting
There on the table

Like--like this piece
Of forbidden fruit,

And not a chance
Of getting caught.

I don't know. It just
Seemed like the answer

To all my problems
At the time.

What do you mean?

I thought that...

You know,
If I aced the test,
Then...

Everybody would think
I was ok again.

You know,
That that would
Somehow convince them.

But now that
I really am ok,

I'm having a hard time
Living with myself.

Hence your resignation from
The disciplinary committee.

Jack,
For the past 6 months,

I have been
Walking around,

Feeling like
The biggest hypocrite.

I mean, don't you see?
I've been so hard on
All these other people

Just as a way
Of punishing myself.

But now it's time
To make amends for that.

Wait a minute.
What--what are you
Planning on doing?

I'm gonna tell
Principal green
Tomorrow.

No. You're not.

Yeah, I am.

No. No. Andie, look,
Think about this, ok?

You screwed up. Fine. Ok?
It was a moment of weakness.

But do you really want
To get kicked out of school

For cheating on something
That has the word practice
In front of it?

Jack,
You know what I want?

I want to be
Free of this thing

Once and for all.

You know?
Free of what I did,

And I want to be able
To go to the mirror

And recognize
Who I am again.

Andie, there's
Got to be a better way.

Jack, I've thought long
And hard about this. Ok?

There is no better way.

Not for me.

Do you mind?

I'm having this steak
For dinner tonight with
A nice bernaise sauce.

Well, what am I having?

Bread and water.

Doug,
I'm a soldier here,

Returning from
The killing fields.

I mean, you know,
Where's my purple heart,
My ticker-tape parade?

Watch it on
Your black and white.

You know, the one with
A coat hanger as an antennae

At the chevron station...

Where you're probably
Going to be pumping gas

For the rest of your
Natural born life, pacey.

Of all
The bone-headed moves.

What are you
Talking about?

I was right.
It was matt caufield.

Yeah, and that
Lets you off the hook how?

Because the guy deserves
Whatever he gets, ok?

Preferably his silver
Spoon shoved up his ass.

Oh, that's funny, pacey.
That's really funny.

Oh, this is rich.

Here I am, trying
To do the right thing.

You know, sometimes
A guy just can't win.

No. He can't.

Not if he completely
Overreacts to a situation.

If you're gonna throw away
Your future, just do it
On your own account, ok?

Oh, hey,
Don't get me wrong.

Don't think
I ever cared here.

I was only
Doing dawson a favor.

Dawson.
Yes, dawson.

You know,
Looking out for you.

Think back with me,
Way back.

You know,
Like the beginning
Of the school year.

Dawson leery returns from
The big city a changed man,

Determined to sever ties
With girl across the creek.

So, he asks trusted friend
To look after said girl

During the delicate
Transitional period.

Trusted friend,
Of course he obliges,

And now trusted friend
Gets his head handed
To him on a platter.

So you guys
Just traded me off

Like some sort
Of baseball card?

Is that what this is about?

What?

Us. You and me.
I thought that--

You thought what?

I guess I thought
Something else, pacey.

You have consistently

Flaunted my authority,
Mr. Caufield.

You have
Undermined the ability
Of my teachers to educate.

And now, you challenge
My commitment...

To reshape this school
Into a community.

Principal green,
It was only a mural.

Yes,
It was only a mural...

But it was so much more
Than just a mural.

You don't fool me,
Mr. Caufield.

I know exactly who you are.

You've been led to believe
You're untouchable.

So you disrupt the school.
You disobey the rules.

You serve
To divide the student body

With your arrogance
And your attitude.

Now, you may be smart,
And you may be rich,
Mr. Caufield,

But you are not
Above the law.

And for that reason,
It is my decision...

That you be expelled
From capeside high.

Expelled?

You heard me.

For the rest of the year?

For the rest of the year.

Principal green...

Do you have any idea

What my father's
Gonna say about this?

Yes.
I have a very good idea

Of what your father's
Gonna say about this.

So what's going on
In there?

I don't know.
It's hard to tell.

No sign of...
Birch cane
Or knuckle rapping.

No.

Let's face it.
Pacey's gonna be
Lucky

If he gets off
Without another
Suspension.

The way things
Are going, I mean...

You should
Have just asked me
To look out for him.

Excuse me?

I know all about
The little wife-swapping
Arrangement.

Wife--

Joey, that's
Not how it was,
And you know it.

Then how was it?

Well, first of all,
It was months ago.

I mean, things were
Very different
Between us.

You're right.
Back then I felt like
You still understood me.

Oh, and I don't now?

No. I ever asked
For your pity!

It wasn't--
It wasn't about pity.

I couldn't
Be there for you,

But I wanted you
To have someone
You can turn to,

Someone you could
Talk to.

Now tell me--
Where is the harm
In that?

Well, it just would
Have been nice

If that someone
Could have mustered a shred
Of genuine concern.

That someone is in
That room right now

Because he's got
A hell of a lot more

Than a shred of concern.

Joey,
Why are you
Doing this?

Doing what?

Casting aspersions
On people

Who obviously
Care about you.

You really think
That I don't want
The best for you?

Pacey--I mean,
Pacey's a lotta things--

Impulsive,
Thoughtless,
Stubborn--

But after everything
That's happened
This year,

Can you honestly doubt
For a second...

That he doesn't truly
Care about you?

Let me just state
For the record...

I like that man
In there.

In fact, I'll go you
One better--he is
A great human being.

He's got the fairness
Of lincoln,

The charisma of
Martin luther king, jr.

He's even-handed
And tempered

And, if I may
Say so myself,

Acutely susceptible
To a certain type
Of irreverent humor.

So he let you
Off.

Not exactly.

But he didn't
Suspend you.

Well, let's just say
I'm not packing
My bags quite yet.

Although 3 days off
Would have provided
A welcome diversion.

Ok, so divulge.
What happened
In there?

I'm gonna be
A mentor.

Be a what?

Mentor. You know,
The capeside
Mentoring program.

Since I seem to be
Completely incapable

Of suppressing my own
Juvenile impulses,

Principal green
Seems to think

That I would benefit
From the company
And example

Of someone
Half my age.

Ha ha ha!

What's so funny?

What about
The poor kid?

What are you
Gonna teach him?

What are you
Talkin' about?

You gonna teach him
The importance of
Keeping a secret?

Like, say, from,
You know...Joey,
For example?

Oh, that...

Uh...She told you.

Yeah.

Hmm. Well,
What do you think
The odds are

That you, yourself,
Will be as enlightened
And forgiving a person

As principal green
Just was?

Not good, pace.

Ok...

Not good.

To say that I am
Profoundly shocked
And disturbed

By what you did
Would be
An understatement.

Your behavior was
Deceitful, immoral,

And ultimately,
A disgrace
To this school.

I know.

I just...Wish that
I could have told you
Sooner.

You know I'm going
To have to inform

The educational
Testing service,

And that they're gonna
Cancel your scores,

And that you're
Gonna have to
Forfeit your chance

At a merit
Scholarship.

I'm aware of that.
Yes.

Now...You say that
There were other
Students

Who were aware
Of this test,

But you were
The only one
Who exploited it.

Are you absolutely
Certain about that?

Absolutely certain.

What do you want me
To do here?

What am I supposed to do
About this, andie?

Um...

Well...

I heard that matt caufield
Was expelled from capeside
Today.

And what I did was...

No less grave
Or serious an offense.

Is that what
You think?

I cleared out my locker,
And I know that all actions
Have consequences.

Andie--

Most of all...

I'm sorry for
Letting you down

And for letting myself
Down.

Andie...

You and matt caufield
Have nothing in common.

He is a selfish,
Spoiled young man

Who has no sense
Of right or wrong,

Who actually
Takes pleasure
In hurting others.

The only person
That you hurt...
Is yourself.

But I did cheat.

And it was wrong,
And I should be
Punished for it.

When you were on
The disciplinary
Committee,

One of the things
That I tried
To teach you

Was the idea of
Proportionality.

Make the punishment
Fit the crime, yes,

But also look at
The person.

Now, matt caufield,
He doesn't deserve,
Nor would he benefit

From my leniency.

But andie mcphee...

She just might.

I don't know
What to say.

Don't say
Anything.

Get your stuff.
Put it back in
Your locker.

As for your
Punishment...

I have to think
About that for
A couple of days.

Thank you,
Principal green.

Thank you.

What on earth?

Hey, potter.

Pacey, what
Are you doing?

Painting.

Duh!

I just thought
It would be good

If you could start
With a blank canvas.

Blank canvas,
Huh?

Yeah, you know,
Wipe the slate clean,
tabula rasa,

Return to point "A".
All that good stuff.

And, uh,
Who, may I ask

Told you I was planning
On repainting the mural
In the first place?

Ah, it's just
This guy I met
Out in the street.

Some guy.

Yeah, your typical
Do-gooder type.

Mmm.

So...You gonna
Thank me?

For what?

Well, for all manner
Of things.

You know,
Like defending
Your honor,

Bucking the system--

Tilting at windmills
While in the throes of
A misguided hero complex?

Well, yeah, that, too.

Pacey, if I was going
To thank you for anything,

It would be
For being yourself,

And, you know,
Not caring what
Anybody else thinks

And for knowing
In your heart what's
Right and wrong and...

For being there
This year...

When I needed you
The most.

You're welcome.

So you want help?

One condition.

Sure. Name it.

Be honest.

The only reason
You've been hanging
Out with me

Is simply because
Dawson told you to?

Yep. That's
The only reason.

Hmm.

You need to get a life.
