Maybe we're too early.
Maybe the fish
Are still asleep.

Fish don't sleep, pacey.

You know, I'm really glad
We're hanging out, but...

Did our first jaunt
Together in months really
Have to be at sunrise?

Oh.

I got something
To tell you

That I have a feeling
Will keep you awake.

I like
Your sister, pacey.

You like her,
Or you like her like her?

I'm talking about
Gretchen witter,
Not winnie cooper.

Well, are we talking
About the feelings
Of fondness and fellowship

That naturally follow
From an obligatory
Mistletoe kiss,

Or am I going to find you
Outside of my house holding
A boom box over your head?

I'm crazy
About her.

Well...You've had
A crush on her for years.

I mean, that's
All this is, right?

No. This is more than
A grade school crush.

And even though she
Won't acknowledge it,

I think,
On some level, she feels
The same way about me.

It's a hell of a lot
To digest before
Breakfast, dawson.

Well...Last spring,
If you'd come to me

And just told me
How you felt about joey,

It would
Have made things
A hell of a lot easier.

So that's
All I'm trying to do.

Dawson, you and I
Are friends.

Friends. But sisters...
Sisters are...

Off limits?

Yes! Sisters
Are off limits.

They're like mothers,
Only pretty.

I'm not asking for
Your permission, pace.

I'm just
Letting you know.

So what are your plans?

My plans?

Yeah, to pursue
My sister.

What are you
Going to do?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Mm-hmm.

Well, what kind of plan
Is "Nothing"?

Well, I've just decided
To let things play out.

If there's
One thing I learned
After last spring,

It's that some things
Can't be forced.

So then
Your plan would be
To not have a plan.

Exactly.

The tao of dawson
Is to do nothing.

I've done nothing
So far and we've
Already kissed.

I figure the best
Thing I can do

Is just keep on
Doing nothing.

What's with the rush?

At this speed,
I can get to school,

Grab my car and
Get out of there
Before dark.

Your car hasn't been
At school for months.

All of a sudden
You decided your friends

Have borrowed it
For too long?

Friend.

Well, um,
Actually...

Ex-boyfriend.

Nick has had your car
This whole time?

You know, I always
Liked that guy.

You don't know him.

Nick and me?
dos amigos.

You sat with him
For a couple of hours

When I brought him
Home for christmas.

Yeah, so I know that
He likes the patriots,

Pretzels,
And a good party.

I know he'd rather sleep
And sail than study.

Plus the man has
Excellent taste in music.

His favorite song
Is freebird.

You just described
Yourself.

Well, great men
Think alike.

Ha!

I just think
It's wonderful
That the two of you

Will be able
To get to spend some
Quality time together.

Does your sudden proclivity
For my ex-boyfriend

Have anything to do
With a certain fair-haired
Pal of yours?

Who? Dawson? Nah.
Why should I care
About dawson?

You assured me
That that kiss
Meant nothing.

Even though, you know,
It really didn't
Look like nothing.

'cause, you know,
It kind of went on

A little bit long
To be nothing.

And I'm pretty sure
He doesn't think
It's nothing.

But if you said
It's nothing,
It's nothing.

Dawson and I
Are just friends.

That's it. Trust me.

Ok. Guess you've
Earned my trust.

This music doesn't
Entirely suck, it's...

"Great tunes for gretchen.
From dawson."

That would be leery.
So he made you a mix cd?

Aw, how sweet.

Did I ever mention
That nick is not only smart,

But also quite handsome?

I mean, really,
He's a good-looking guy.

He works out,
Doesn't he?

Hey, did you think
It was weird when
Andie was dating pacey?

Not really. Why?

'cause pacey really
Doesn't like the idea
Of gretchen and me.

Well, sure. I mean,
She's his sister

And you're his--
His close friend.

I didn't really
Know pacey when he
Hooked up with andie.

But if I had to think
About you and andie,

You--let's not go there.

Well, dawson may
Have a sister
Before long.

Then he'll
Understand.

Or a brother.
I find out in
A couple hours, right?

Uh, well, no.
Actually, honey,

We've changed
Our mind again.

I mean, should
We really use
Technology

To cheat what
May be life's

Last great
Mystery?

Or is it
Anticlimactic

To wait until
The baby is born?

Hmm.

You know, whatever
You guys decide is fine.

Just let me know,
So I can figure out
What to do

With the pink and blue
Paint that I have on hold.

Good point.

Come on, we're
Going to decide
In the car.

Good luck.

What's that?

Remember I told you I used
To write gretchen

These silly
Little letters?

Yeah.

This is the
Last one I wrote,
One I never sent.

Oh, god, this
Is embarrassing.

I'm all gushing
And lovesick.

Uh-huh. Maybe you should
Say some of that to her now.

No. I told her
How I feel.

Not like that, I bet.

No, I told her
Like an adult.

Well, maybe if you
Acted more like a kid,
You might be with her.

Last time
I acted like a kid
With my feelings,

I ended up trying
To prove something
In a boat race.

Remember that?

Oh, yeah.

Not my finest moment.

Besides, she knows
How I feel about her.

You know, if...If it's
Meant to be, it'll be.

If not,
That's the way it goes.

Hmm. Zen
And the art of dating.

Congrats. I think you've
Created a new movement.

Yeah.

Closed for renovation.

You know,
This free time presents

Sort of a steak
Or lobster dilemma.

Now, do I go cheerleader
Or drama club chick
Tonight?

What do you think?

Mmm. Flip a coin.

Heads is bimbo,
Tails is skank.

Where's the love, huh?

After working with you
For the last 6 days,
I don't know.

I guess I lost it.

How do you plan
To observe your sabbath?

Oh, a relaxing
Little experience

Known as researching
My english term paper.

Let me guess.
how to keep a boyfriend
And your virginity

Or the many uses
Of the human hand.

Finally a subject
You know all about.

Oh, very good,
Joey. Very good.

You see, that is
What we refer to as
A comeback or a retort.

I believe in french
It's riposte.

Good news, darling.

Your father's spirit guide
Has allowed him

To leave his crystals
And meditation mat

Long enough to come
To new york on business,

And he wants
To see you tonight.

And this is good news
On what planet?

On the planet where
Child support payments

Are still
Being negotiated.

Here's your bus ticket.

I don't suppose
I have any choice
In this matter?

Well, of course you do.

You can sit up front
Near the driver

Or back
Near the restrooms.

Bon voyage.

Sorry to step
On your exit line,

But I don't think
We're finished here.

My station
Is closed down.

These need to go into
The storeroom tonight.

This is definitely
My kind of place.

It's a place
You're going
To see very little of.

Remember, we get
The car and we leave.

It might be
Kind of difficult.

No, it won't.

Well, if that's
The car you plan on
Driving out of here,

Yes, it will.

That lying jerk.

I can't believe I fell
For his crap again.

Don't you think you're
Being a little tough
On the lying jerk?

I'm sure there's
An explanation for that.

Yeah, there always is.

Gretchen!

My god,
You look beautiful.

You son of a bitch.

I can explain.

Hey, I don't
Want to hear it.

All right? I just
Want my car back now,

And I want to get
As far away from you
As possible.

I know I said
Everything was fine,

But this morning
When I checked,

I noticed that
The solenoid assembly
Was clogged, so--

Solenoid assembly?

It's part
Of the carburetor.

It draws air
Into the--

I know what
The carburetor is,

Ok, guys? And I know
You don't need

To remove the tires
To unclog it.

Remember all your
Road trips? Low tread.

I knew I risked
Losing your trust.

All right? And frankly,
You can hate my guts
All you want.

And, yeah, it hurts.

But not as much as if
Something happened to you.

I couldn't
Live with that.

Thanks for looking
Out for her, man.

Yeah. Nick taylor
Is a renowned
Protector of women.

Her name's laura wolner.

She's a junior
Geology major.

I don't really care.

She lives here.
That's her problem.

Except for tonight.

All right?
I asked her for a favor.

She's going to go
Stay at her mom's house
So that you can have her room.

If you want to leave,
We'll fix the car later
And you're gone.

Listen, since
All of your old friends

Are going
To be here tonight,
I figured you'd be up late.

Might be nice
To have a comfortable
Place to crash.

God help me.

Laura's room
Is the first one
On the left.

By the time
You get washed up,

Me and pacey
Will have you

A nice medium-rare
Veggie burger
With your name on it.

You think you know me
So well, don't you?

As well
As any guy can.

You like
Imported beer, pacey?

I'll, uh...See you
Tonight, evelyn.

I can hardly
Wait, arthur.

Ah.

If you value your life,
Not a word.

I--I thought you might
Be able to, uh...

Give these clothes
Away to the church.

Oh, dawson, thank you.

So, uh...

Are you two...

Are you two dating?

Oh, dawson. Please.

At my age,
One does not date.

Well, it sounded
Like you were going

To see him later
On tonight.

We are simply
Having dinner at your
Parents' restaurant,

And then we are going
To rialto 16 to see
almost famous.

Well, dinner and a movie
On a saturday night

Is pretty much
A definition of a date.

Say, are you this
Protective of jennifer?

Uh...

Jen is well-versed
In the pitfalls

And problems
Of relationships.

Although I
Have not felt this way

Since jennifer's
Grandfather passed on,

I assure you,
I also am well-versed.

Thank you for
Your concern, dawson.

You know what
Your problem is?

Drue, the only problem
I have in my life right now

Is that I have
To be around you.

Fortunately,
As soon as I put
These dishes away,

I am on break
From my problem.

Don't touch me, please!

It's creepy enough
To be in here with you.

Fine.

If you move those boxes...

We'll open it.
Not a problem.

Ok?

This could
Be a problem.

There's got
To be another way out.

Oh, there's
Another way out.

When the cleaning
Crew arrives.

Monday morning.

Hello? Anyone there?

You're going
To hurt yourself
If you keep doing that.

I'm going to hurt you
If you don't shut up.

Going to freshen
Your face?

No. I'm going
To pick the lock.

An eyebrow pencil.

You got a better idea?

What, do I look
Like macgyver?

No. He was smart enough
Not to move a box

Which was
Propping open a door.

Well, you know what?

If you would have
Just accepted my help,

We wouldn't be here
In the first place.

Now I know why
You're still a virgin.

You have serious
Trust issues with men.

Not to mention some
Rather dubious
Grooming habits.

What do you think
You're doing?

I'm taking inventory
Of our rations.

We have my slim jim
To your 2 altoids.

We could have a snack
And fresh breath.

If you try to touch me
Or my stuff one more time,

I swear to god, I'm going
To take this eyebrow pencil

And put it
Through your heart.
Am I being clear?

Crystal.

Good.

By the way,
You should really try

And clean out
Your brush occasionally.

Imagine an environment
Where nearly the whole
City is your age.

Beer flows
Like tap water.

Parties are ubiquitous
And eternal.

And the whole thing's
Paid for by cheap,

Long-term
Government loans.

This is the life.

I know. Let's face it.
High school sucks.

Man was not created
To spend 7 hours a day,

5 days a week crammed
Into a tiny desk.

The whole system
Panders to the lowest
Common denominator.

Standardized tests.

Standardized courses.

Standardized lunches.

Exactly. And that's why
Anyone who isn't standard
Doesn't fit in.

College is
A fresh start, you know?

You get to be
Whoever you want to be.

Why am I not surprised
To see the two of you
Getting along?

I like this guy,
Gretchen.

2 peas in a pod.

More like 2 slackers
In a tub.

Care to join us
In the healing waters?

It does wonders
For the soul.

My soul is just fine.

Hey, gretchen.

No offense,
But I must say,

All of her is fine.

No offense taken.

And now that
You mention it,

She can really use
A guy like you
In her life.

She doesn't have
A guy in her life
Back home?

Nope.

I'm telling you,

You should go
For it, my friend.

18 years apart?
I mean, that's wild.

When this kid
Graduates high school,

You're going
To be, like, 36.

He's just--
Well, he or she--

Is just going to be
Beginning their life, and...

Yours will be
Pretty much over.

And you're not listening
To a word that I'm saying,
Are you, dawson?

Uh...No.

Sorry.

Oh, well.

What's going on?

I'm worried about grams.
I'm afraid she's going
To get her heart broken.

I thought her heart
Belonged to the lord.

And possibly
Mr. Brooks.

You got to be kidding me.

Crotchety old mr. Brooks?
Are you sure about that?

It's getting to be like
on golden pond
Over there.

Hey, good for her.
I mean, now she's got

Somebody to keep her company,

To read with,
Build fires with.

After all, she
Did say that "Love is
The hardest of woods."

Brooks is sick, jack.
He's dying.

Oh, god.

I don't--

I mean, after what
Happened with her husband,

Wh--how could she fall
For somebody who's dying?

Well, obviously
She doesn't know.

He hasn't told her.

Well, then you have to.

Me?

Someone has to.
If you don't, I will.

If you could have seen
How happy she was.

The only reason
She's happy is because
She doesn't know the truth.

Well, maybe that's
Not such a bad thing.

Ok.

You were happy
Before you found out

About pacey and joey
Seeing each other.

Now, would you have
Rather stayed in the dark

Or would you have rather
Someone come to you

And told you
The difficult truth
At the beginning?

If I was the one
In here with a sweater,
I would share it.

Let me think
About it.

No.

Ok, but
I want you to know

If something happens
To me, you have
My permission

To pursue whatever
Indelicate, though
Life-sustaining,

Tastes-just-like-chicken
Measures you see fit.

I see some cans up there.
Maybe we can dig up
Something to eat.

You're going to fall
And break your neck,

At which point I am
Taking your sweater.

Hey, I wonder
Who they're going to get

To play you
In the tv version
Of our ordeal, huh?

Probably some former
Teen series idol

Who's trying to break
Into features.

Would you just shut up?

Ok. You go right ahead.

I'm sure lacey chabert
Can't wait

To cop an attitude
And win the emmy.

Ecch. We can't eat this.

This expired,
Like, when I was born.

Could have
Just said thanks!

Must be kind of tough
Out there, huh?

I have a life now.

Now I have friends,
Have a job,

Great place
By the water.

Come on.

You don't miss it
Just a little bit?

This? No way.

I don't believe that.

It's true.

There's that thing.

What thing?

You know. That
Little thing you do

When you're hiding
Something. You stick
Out your chin.

I do not.

Yes, you do.

You know what
Always drove me crazy
About you, gretchen?

That little line
Right there
On your chin.

It's not
Going to work, nick.

What?

Don't play,
"I'm just a sensitive boy

Who needs to be
Understood" with me.

I'm not going
To go upstairs to see
Your guitar, so don't ask.

It is so good to see
You guys together.
Honestly.

Hey, can you believe
That this woman

Is still single,
Considering what
An amazing catch she is?

Ok, before you try
And show all my teeth

To prove what good
Breeding stock I am,

You'll have
To excuse me.

You know she's crazy
About you, right?

She talked about you
The whole ride up here.

I mean, it's like
The two of you were
Meant to be together.

So whatever happened?

Our lives just moved in
2 separate directions.

I think I see someone
That wants to move
In your direction.

I don't think that'd
Be such a grand idea.

Her name's christie.

She likes horses,
Water sports,

And back rubs from guys
Just like you, buddy.

You can't go wrong.

Oh, but I can go wrong.

There is someone back
At home that would think

That that's
A very, very bad idea.

That certain
Someone here?

I don't think so.

And I am definitely not
Going to say anything.

Second room upstairs
To the left.

Condoms are in the cigar
Box next to the futon.

I'm going to go
Talk to your sister.

Nick--

Hey, don't
Mention it, man.

Guys like me and you,
We got to look out
For each other.

Oh, dawson!
Come in, come in.

Hi. I'm, uh...
On my way--

On my way over to go,
Uh, go to mr. Brooks',

But I just--

I--wow!

What? What is it?

You--you're--
You look...Beautiful.

Oh, thank you. I...

Well, I...

I hope this dress
Isn't too much.

Wouldn't want
Anyone to think
We were dating.

Um...Getting into
A new relationship
Can be intoxicating.

I noticed you aren't
Bearing any clothes
For the church,

And I know
That you know jennifer

Is away at
A fishing concert.

Uh, phish broke up.
It's widespread panic.

Hmm. "I know a bank
Where the wild thyme blows,

"Where oxlips and
The nodding violet grows."

Oh, dear, now...

What was it you wanted
To talk about, dawson?

I just wanted to say
Have a great time
Tonight.

I know he's sick.

You do?

Isn't that what you
Were trying to tell me?

So he told you?

Of course not.

Arthur brooks wouldn't
Just come right out
And tell someone that.

Well, then
How did you know?

I've been a nurse
For 47 years

And a woman a few years
Longer than that.

But if you know,
How can you start
Something with him?

It's very simple.

We laugh together,
We share
The same interests,

We look at life
The same way.

Do you know how hard
It is to find a friend
Like that, dawson?

Yeah, I think I do.

Um...I also know
How hard it can be
When it doesn't last.

A moment, a single
Moment of true joy

Is more powerful than
A lifetime of sorrow.

Let me tell ya.
Your ex puts
The "A" in hole.

That man is just
A world-class jerk.

I know that, pacey.
I tried to tell you.

Well, I guess we've
Both had enough of him
For tonight, right?

You don't need
To protect me.

He's the reason you
Left school, isn't he?

I am the reason
That I left school.

So what happened?
What did he do to you?

Nothing I didn't
Allow to happen.

Look, it's my fault,
Too, you know.

I can't just blame him
And neither should you.

For what?

I got pregnant.

I had a miscarriage.

I--I'm sorry,
Gretch.

I would not have been
Trying to force the two
Of you back together.

I am...Sorry.

So how did he react
When he found out?

He doesn't know.

I didn't want to interrupt
His plans to sleep with
Half the theta house.

What a dick.

What a dick!

I can't believe
I was hanging out
With that guy

Thinking how cool he was.

I am gonna--

No, no,
You are not!

Ok, I am not a victim
Here, pacey.

And I don't
Want him to know.

You know, nobody knows
About this except dawson.

You told dawson leery
Before you told me?

He's my friend.

I'm your brother!

With a very
Specific idea

Of how a sister
Is supposed to behave.

Look,
I left school to work
On who I want to be.

You know,
I can't try fitting that

Into everybody else's idea
Of what that is.

You know?

Fair enough.

At least you now know
Who nick really is.

Pacey, everything
That you liked about him

I still like
About him, too.

Hey.

Did you miss me?

God, I miss her.

I don't understand
Why you would want to cut
The scene before it's over.

Nobody's saying anything.

Look at your face!
Look at that expression.

And that says more than
Any words ever could.

You're developing
A pretty good eye,
Mr. Leery.

Obviously you're
Hanging out with the
Right people these days.

It would seem so.

Before you run off, um...

I wondered if you could
Help me with something.

Uh, sure.

Evelyn ryan and I have
Been spending a lot of time
Together lately,

And I have grown
Rather fond of her.

I'd like her
To know that.

So, uh...

Do you think it's too much?

Um...I'm not the person
To talk to about that.

What's the matter?
Bother you that 2 adults
Are keeping company?

No, I just--I don't
Think it's my place to
Give advice about this.

Is that because
A dying man just told you

That he's fond
Of a woman who's like
A grandmother to you?

Do you have any idea
What she went through
With her late husband?

Uh-huh, actually, I do.

Well, then--

If I care about her,
How could I put her
Through all that again, hmm?

Exactly.

One thing worse
Than the pain of loss

Is the aching void
Of inaction.

She's not
The kind of person
Who can live with that.

She knows I'm sick.

So...She knows,
And you know she knows,

And yet
Neither one of you have
Said anything about it.

No need.

When you get
To the end of the race,

It's both obvious
And inevitable.

Make no mistake
About it, kid,

God intends
To kill us all.

You'll find that, uh,
You don't have to have

Your life dictated
By the cosmos.

You fall in love
With the wrong woman,

You tell fate to piss off,
You don't like its plans
For you.

Sure, there's heartache
To be had,

But it's a small price
To pay for living and dying
On your own terms.

Give her the earrings.

Thank you, kid.

You ever think about me?

Rarely.

Chin.

Occasionally.

I think about you.

Yeah?

Remember that time
We locked ourselves
In my room

And studied for
That astronomy mid-term?

We failed the test
The next day.

Yes, we did.
But it was worth it,
Wasn't it?

We've had a lot
Of good times together.

"Had" being
The operative word.

We are past tense.

No, we're old friends.

And the best thing
About old friends
Is that they know you.

They know
What makes you tick.

There are
A lot of things you
Don't know about me, nick.

A lot's happened to me
Since I left.

I know you've gotten
More beautiful.

Do you want to come up
To my room and talk
About the rest?

You're drunk.

You're gorgeous.

Do you ever change?

You know who I am.

I mean,
Isn't that why you came?

And don't tell me it
Was to pick up your car,

Because we both know
That's not true.

You've come
A long distance.

Don't you want to go
The rest of the way?

You're supposed to--

Back off!

I was just
Trying to help.

Yeah. Well, if I get
Any more help from you,

I'll be spending my
Freshman year of college
In traction.

You know if anyone should
Be upset, it should be me.

What? You tried
To kill me!

You tried to kiss me!

I saved your life, ok?

I was just acting
On the moment.

Yeah, well, so was I.

How'd a pretty girl like
You get so damn mean?

I'm not mean.

Are you kidding?

The busboys are
Terrified of you.

They call you
"El toro."

Really?

Well, you know,
When you're used
To living on your own,

You learn how
To take care of yourself,

And I guess you
Develop a little bit
Of a thick outer shell.

And a pretty decent
Right cross.

You know, at least
Your father's in prison.

Having to spend time
With my dad is like
Being in prison.

I thought your dad
Was this wealthy
Businessman who--

Yeah, who seemed
Like the coolest guy
In the world

Until the day I
Discovered him fervently
Studying the kama sutra

On my mother's
New mexican tile
Kitchen floor

With someone who
Was most definitely
Not my mother.

Bless you.

Just keep your hands
Where I can see them.

So where's your beau
This evening?

Is he going to be
Frantically checking
Hospitals for you?

He's on a road trip
With his sister.

How do you stay
In a relationship
With someone

Who is so different
From you?

We're not
That different.

Oh, please.

You're responsible
And reasonable.

He's reckless
And rash.

Yeah, but part of his
Recklessness is that he's
Constantly surprising me.

And part of
His rashness is that
He's intensely passionate.

Those differences
Are important.

They make for
A richer relationship.

Maybe in high school.

But last I heard,
Harvard wasn't admitting

The rash boyfriends
Of candidates

Just to keep the world's
Cutest couple together.

How would you
Like a broken nose

To go along
With that black eye?

Lighten up.

Looks like you were
Expecting company.

I missed you, gretchen.

I can't believe
I'm doing this.

Why?

You knew this
Was going to happen.

You've been thinking
About this since you left.

I know you, gretchen.

I know how you think.

Well, what am I thinking
Right now?

You're thinking that my arms
Feel amazing around you.

That I fit you
Like a puzzle piece
That's been missing.

That you'll lose yourself
In me the rest of the night

And never look back.

Mmm...Ahh...

You know, that used
To be enough.

I'm what they told you
To stay away from, huh?

The cookie jar
High on the shelf.

The person
That's wrong for you.

But, see, that's why
A girl like you...

Wants a guy like me.

You're totally right.

And do you know
What I just realized?

I'm not that girl
Anymore.

Nick?

Nick?

Thank you, nick taylor.

Hey.

I've finished up
The work on the car.

And I found your tires.
They were just on
The side of the house.

All you needed was a
Couple of flats patched.
The treads were fine.

Thank you.

I fixed the car. I just
Wish I could do the same
Thing for your life.

Pacey--

I don't understand
Why you'd fall

For such
A self-centered,
Egocentric jerk like nick.

You know, I know
That you were a cheerleader
All during high school,

And I know that you always
Had the good grades

And the good behavior
And the good boyfriends,

And I can understand
That maybe you just
Got a little tired

Of being good all the time,
And I understand that
People get tempted.

But why this guy?

He's an ass!

I guess
It's kind of my fault.

I pushed you
Into the guy.

This is
Not your fault.

Well, it is
Kinda my fault.

I wanted you
To be with him.

I wanted you
To be with somebody
That I understood.

I wanted you to be with
Somebody who was maybe
A little bit more like me.

You are
Nothing like nick.

Well, regardless...

You deserve
Someone who's going
To listen to you

And commit to you.

You deserve someone
Who's going to make you

The absolute center
Of their universe.

You deserve somebody--

Someone like dawson?

Oh...Ha ha.

That's not
What I said.

That's what you meant.

Nothing happened
Last night, pacey.

It almost did until--until
I realized why I came here.

Well, didn't you
Come here to see nick?

No. I came to say
Good-bye to nick.

And more importantly,

Good-bye to a part
Of myself that I've
Always struggled with.

And do you know
Where I got the strength
To say good-bye?

From you.

Starting when
They're little girls,

Sisters look to
Their brothers for cues

On how they
Should be treated.

And--and you're right.

I deserve so much better
Than nick.

And my heart knows that

Because I have a brother
Who treats me so well.

So...Wait.
Hold on a second.

Does this mean that you
Also realize that you need
Better music in your life?

Because if that's the case,
I have this pink floyd cd
That I think you'll love--

That's ok.

There's a certain cd mix
That I want to listen to.

Ok.

See you at home.
Yes.

See you back there.

Jack, do you
Believe in inevitability?

You mean, do I think
I busted my shoulder
Because of fate?

Yeah. Do you ever
Wonder if you could've
Changed what happened?

You have no idea
How many times I have
Thought about that one.

I mean, what if
I would have caught
The ball differently?

You know, hit
The ground differently?

What if I would
Have brushed my teeth

3 seconds longer
That morning,

Arriving to practice
2 seconds later?

And the answer?

The answer is
I don't know.

I'm sick of
Thinking about it.

Thinking about it
Is more debilitating
Than the injury.

Brooks is dying...

And he's actively pursuing
A relationship with grams

Who knows, but
Doesn't seem to mind.

Well, maybe
He finds strength
In taking action,

And maybe she finds
Comfort in her religion.

I mean, the arbitrary
Nature of life and love,

You know,
It can be frightening.

Everybody has their own
Way of coping with it.

Even you.

What does that mean?

Well, don't you
Think it's possible,

What's driving this,
Uh, this tao of yours

Is nothing more
Than fear?

I'm just trying not
To make the same mistakes
I've made in the past.

Has it ever occurred
To you, dawson-san,

That maybe they're
Not mistakes at all.

Maybe this is exactly where
You're supposed to be

At this moment in time.

With a girl
That you wanted
Way before joey potter,

Holding a letter
That expresses exactly
How you feel about her.

Oh, I thought
It was just a nightmare.

Good morning
To you, too.

Did you
Actually sleep?

I couldn't.
Someone was sawing
Some serious lumber.

I do not snore.

You could have laid waste
To an entire national forest.

I'm surprised
I could even sleep.

You aware of the 24-hour
Antiperspirant?

What's that buzzing?

What's what buzzing?

There's
Something buzzing.

Go back to sleep.
You're dreaming.

It's in your pocket.
What is that?

Hey! Hey, I'd like
A dinner and a movie
Before we get to that.

You've had this in your
Pocket the whole time?

Oh, yeah. I forgot.

Hello?

Yes, we're in the
Basement storage room.

You can talk to him
When you get down here.

What's left of him.

We're saved!

You orchestrated
This whole thing!

Now, why would I want
To do something like that?

Because you are a sick,
Twisted, pathological
Little pervert.

Do you really think
I'd go through
All this trouble

Just to have you
Fall asleep on my shoulder?

Well, how do I know
What you were doing
While I was sleeping?

I resent that.

I was a complete
Gentleman.

I absolutely did not
Peek down your shirt

At your eggshell-colored,
-34
-c, maidenform,
Wire-rimmed bra

With the little
Cute pink bow
In the front clasp.

Mother, thank god!

My god!

What have you
Done to my son?

Ask him. It was
All his doing.

Oh, you're actually
Going to suggest

That my son would
Rather be locked in
A closet with you

Than spend the weekend
With his father?

I'll see you
At school, drue.

Dear gretchen,

I really enjoyed talking
To you in your room today.

Try not to be nervous
About starting high school.

I know you're going to find
People who understand you.

There's something
That I didn't get
A chance to tell you.

There's someone
Truly special in my life

That I can't stop
Thinking about.

She's unlike anyone
I've ever met.

Smart and funny
And beautiful,

And just knowing
That she's in my life

Has given me this
Constant fluttering that
Keeps me awake at night.

When I think about who
I can talk to about this,
Who will understand.

The only person
That comes to mind is you.

And that's a problem,
Because you are the one
That I feel this way about.

I think
About you constantly,
Every little thing you do.

The elvis costello
Sticker you put in
Your spiral notebook,

The way your bangs have
Grown out every day now
For 6 months until monday

When you were finally able
To put it all in a ponytail.

And today when you invited
Me to stay and talk to you
After pacey left.

It occurred to me that you
Must think about me, too.

If I tried to tell anyone
Else, they would say that
You and I are impossible,

That our lives
Are too different,

That we could never
Be right for each other.

But we understand each other
And we care about each other.

And years from now,
I believe that we
Still will.

Your friend forever.
Love, dawson.

What took you so long?

I had a few things
To do first.
