Dawson's Creek - Season 01 - Episode 07
"Boyfriend"
Boring.
Seen it.
Wouldn't watch if you paid me.
Rerun.
Home shopping.
Spanish.
Japanese.
Lebanese?
Adult movie channel,
scrambled
American Movie Classics it is.
- Who?
- John Doe.
The one in the speech.
- Hey, Jo.
- Hey.
Remember that guy who went
on a killing spree
and was found innocent
after claiming sleep deprivation?
Yeah.
He went postal.
Took out half of that restaurant.
Well, I think I need
to call his lawyer.
Bessie and Bodie's new edition
still pulling a day for a night?
I swear to God, Dawson, my sister
gave birth to Rosemary's baby.
I mean, I haven't slept for days,
and my GPA's taking a nosedive
and last week I got caught in a
pool of drool in European history.
That's pretty.
- Well, crash here.
- You sure?
Yeah.
No drooling, though.
Dawson, are you still on this
old movie classic kick?
It's time you take a stroll
down New Releases Lane.
I've seen everything
in the video store twice
and trust me,
there's nothing on the tube.
Dawson, Gary Cooper's
kind of a snoozer.
Exactly.
See, in the '40s you
could be a well-intentioned geek
and still end up with the girl.
Whatever happened to the standard
Gary Cooper-types, you know?
Likable, but not too self-involved.
Smart without being arrogant.
I mean, come on.
What happened to that guy?
That's what I thought.
So, big meeting with
the investors this morning?
You're interviewing
the police commissioner?
At 1 0:00.
- You look great.
- So do you.
- Thanks.
- You are welcome.
- Sorry.
- It's okay.
- Dr.
Keenan's at 3:00?
- Right.
He says we're making progress.
Yep, he does.
Dawson.
- Have some breakfast.
- Take a load off.
I can't.
I'm running
late this morning.
- How's school going?
- Fine.
Great.
I gotta go.
Yeah, well
So
Big meeting with
the investors this morning?
Same one as two
and a half minutes ago.
You know, this town is the
absolute embodiment of dull.
Apart from the occasional
sex scandal
provided by yours truly,
nothing happens here.
Oh, man.
You know,
I swear, one day
this town is just gonna shut down
completely due to lack of interest.
Hey, watch it, man!
Listen, maybe you can
help me out.
With what, driving lessons?
No, but that's
that's really cute.
- I'm looking for the high school.
- Capeside High?
Yeah.
You gonna help me out,
or I gotta ask Captain Ahab there?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Sorry.
All right.
You want to take this road
about another mile down, right?
Take a left on Blanton Street
You're probably gonna have
to write this down, sport.
No.
Total recall.
Right.
So you get to that
first stop sign after the rotary
and you take a left.
The school's
right there.
You can't miss it.
Actually, you know what?
I'm headed in that
direction right now
so if you wanted to give me a ride,
I'd be happy to navigate for you.
And ride with such
a reckless driver? Come on
Does that sound smart to you?
Yes, good baby
Bodie, I need to dry my hair.
This is my dresser.
Well, I'm gonna be late for work.
You look like hell.
The human alarm clock
kept me up.
I overslept, and I didn't have time
to cram for my Spanish test.
I know things have been crazy
since Alexander was born
but it's the first time
for Bodie and I
and the learning curve's
been steep.
I promise things will settle down
just as soon as we get through
this adjustment period.
Yeah.
When will that be?
- Two, three years, max.
- Wonderful.
Thanks, Dawson.
I really appreciate this.
Not a problem.
I just wish they'd teach
some more useful Spanish phrases.
Where's the girlfriend this morning?
Haven't seen her.
Pay attention.
"My uncle's bicycle
is from Mexico.
"
That's it.
You're brilliant.
It was just, you know,
you haven't said much lately.
Things between you and Jen okay?
Everything going swimmingly?
Great.
I mean, I admit it got a little bit
rough there for a little while, but
Yeah.
Things are going great.
Good.
That's really good.
- Bueno.
- Oh, yeah.
Bueno.
- Hey.
I was hoping to see you.
- Hey, how are you?
- Good.
- Come on.
- I like your vest.
- Thank you.
Here's your book.
Good luck.
Thanks.
And you I assume we're still
on for bowling tonight?
Absolutely.
Can't wait.
- I'll see you guys.
- Bye, Joey.
So can I walk you to math?
Actually
Damn.
You know, I forgot
Can I catch up with
you later, Dawson?
Yeah?
Yeah.
I'll see you
in class, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
All right.
Billy, what the hell
are you doing here?
That's how you greet
the love of your life?
I'm sorry.
Hello, Billy.
Please leave.
- No.
- I drove all night just to see you.
New York's only
four hours from here.
I got lost?
Billy, do you have any idea
what my grandmother would do
if she knew you were here?
The reason my parents sent me
here was to get me away from you.
Billy, things have changed, okay?
I've changed, and I'm
not the same person
All right.
Then tell me about it.
Look, go for a ride with me
and you can fill me in
on all the advances.
Huh?
Come on, two minutes.
Is that too much to ask for?
All right, Billy.
But I'm keeping time.
- Dawson.
- Hi.
I'm looking for Jen.
Do you know where she is this period?
No, I don't.
Sorry.
Give her a message, will you?
I'm having a barbecue Saturday
and I'd love it if she can make it.
Hey, what the hell.
Why don't you come too?
Cool.
Sounds great.
And one other thing.
I don't know
if you can help me with it.
Jen doesn't have
a boyfriend, does she?
Yeah.
She does.
- Me.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- That's terrific, man.
What about sailing lessons?
Or fencing? No, no, no, no.
What about scuba diving?
How does that sound?
Expensive.
You need tanks and fins.
Those aren't cheap.
And then some overpaid instructor
at 40 bucks an hour.
Of course, you're the breadwinner,
so it's really not my call.
Well, I would love
to do it, Mitch.
Dr.
Keenan wants us to experience
new things we haven't done before.
Well, hey, why didn't you say so?
We've never tried swinging
or spouse-swapping.
Wouldn't that be more appealing
to your recreational tastes?
When will you stop punishing me?
When I can get the vision of
my naked wife playing hide the
When it stops hurting.
Billy, being here has
been good for me
so if I could somehow,
without being too rude
ask you to leave?
Okay.
But help me out here, Jen.
I'm way too beat
to make this ride tonight
and I'm strapped
for hotel money so
just find me a place
to crash for the night
and I'm out of here by morning.
- Everything okay?
Dawson.
Hi.
Everything's fine.
It was
Hey, how's it going?
Billy Konrad.
Billy's an old friend
of mine from New York.
- Can I talk to you for one second?
- Yeah.
I know this is kind of awkward,
but would it be okay tonight
if Billy stayed at your house?
- Stay with me for the night?
I don't even know him.
I just met him.
I don't know anything about him.
- What do you wanna know?
- I don't know where to start.
First, is he really a friend
or is he something more?
Dawson, first of all,
I've already told you about Billy.
Is he the guy?
He's Mr.
Got Caught Doing
It In Your Parents' Bed?
Yes, but it's completely over
between Billy and I
and I told him everything about us,
and that I'm with you now.
But he is still my friend
and only my friend
and I'd appreciate it if you could
give him a place to crash for the night.
Believe me, Dawson
anything Billy ever meant to me,
you now mean 1 0 times that.
Please, Dawson.
For me.
- Thank you, sir.
- Yeah, no problem.
Thank you, Dawson.
So this must be pretty
weird for you, huh?
- What's that?
- Having me here.
Having your girlfriend's ex
sharing your bedroom.
That's gotta be a real trip, man.
- It's only till tomorrow, so
- Yeah, right.
That's what Jenny said,
tomorrow, right?
So, what are you, anyway,
some sort of film buff?
Something like that, yeah.
- Now this is cute.
- That's a collector's item.
If you're gonna stay another day,
Jen and I should know.
Okay, how about this?
I'm not leaving tomorrow.
I have no intention of leaving
until Jen's come back to me.
So the question is,
what do you do about it, Dawson?
Do you have Daddy throw me out?
Do you remove me
personally from the premises?
Have a sense of humor, man.
Look at you.
You are all
torqued up over nothing.
Yeah.
I'll probably split tomorrow.
But in the meantime,
you and I should take advantage
of our newfound
closeness here.
I'll bet you're dying to get to know
what Jen was like in New York.
So shoot.
Ask away.
Billy, I already know all about you
and Jen and her life in New York.
So nothing I'm curious about, no
information I'm fishing for, okay?
She gave you the headlines.
Caught in bed, shipped up here
to get away from me
et cetera and so on.
But did she give you the details?
Did she fill in the blanks
that make a story a story?
Because my guess is,
there's a lot you don't know, Dawson.
My guess is,
you don't know the half of it.
Joey, I really need
to talk to you.
My life is becoming a punch line
to some seriously disturbed joke.
If you wake him up,
your life will be over.
- So, what is the problem?
- You know how yesterday I said
that everything between
Jen and me was great?
Now it's not.
It's a mess.
Her ex-boyfriend is here
and he's staying at my house.
Oh, so that's who
that cute guy was in school.
You're not helping.
What's the big deal?
I mean, I thought you were with Jen.
- You guys are a couple, right?
- Of course.
So?
Well, it's just that Mr.
Smooth
rides into town
and all of a sudden
bowling sounded lame.
Dawson, bowling
always sounds lame.
Look, Billy's staying
at my house, which I hate.
Okay, but if I kick him out,
I look petty and insecure.
If I let him stay,
I feel like a patsy.
- I mean
- Well
I'm beginning to think relationship
problems run in my family.
I hate to break it to you, but your
problems really aren't that original.
You know, divorce and dysfunction
run rampant in this town
Dysfunction I can handle.
Divorce
How much pain and humiliation
can a relationship endure before
it's reached the point of no return?
Are we talking about the father
or the son here?
Dawson, relax.
Don't worry about it.
It'll all blow over, and you'll be
on to bigger and better problems.
- You think so?
- Don't worry.
- I should sit tight?
- It's all gonna be fine.
Right.
Thanks.
You're the best.
I really did want to let you know how
much I appreciate your generosity
in giving him a place to crash
and everything.
Billy's not exactly here to watch
the leaves change color is he, Jen?
No.
Didn't think so.
I think he's here to get you back.
I don't know whether you think I'm
super-evolved or just plain oblivious.
Look, Dawson,
I told him it's over.
I told him about us.
You know that.
He's not getting the message.
And I don't think you want him to.
Hey, Dawson,
I don't want to lie to you, so
yeah, Billy still
has feelings for me.
I mean, we never really
got a chance to say goodbye.
My parents threw me out so fast,
there wasn't time for closure.
You wanted to make a break
from those guys who sexualized you.
Billy wasn't one of them.
He was the
only guy who treated me with respect.
He treated me well.
So you're going back to him?
- You have to think about that?
- It's just not that simple, all right?
- It's confusing.
- We're invited to a party
at Cliff Elliot's.
I want you to come.
I want things to go back to normal,
and I want Billy gone.
I can't just send him away.
Of course.
He's treated you
with nothing but respect.
But you know what, Jen?
The last time I checked, so did I.
How do I get repaid?
By having the guy who's had you
from Battery Park to your
parents' bed dumped on me.
Dawson, come on.
Be fair to me, all right?
Look, this isn't the easiest situation
in the world for me either.
Imagine if some
ex-girlfriend of yours
suddenly showed up to town
and put everything in a whirlwind
You know what, Jen?
That's impossible, okay?
Because I don't have
an ex-girlfriend.
You're my girlfriend,
my first and only.
All I'm trying to do is prevent
Billy's ex from becoming my ex too.
My feelings for you haven't changed,
Dawson, can't you see that?
Try and understand.
Unfortunately, I think I do.
Look, I need to rent
The English Patient.
May I suggest a movie
that doesn't completely blow?
It was on last night
and it put the baby to sleep.
It's the only thing that's
put him to sleep.
And if he doesn't sleep,
then I don't
and I get angry.
I don't
maintain my sunny disposition.
If you have the slightest bit
of human decency
you'll rent it to me
and bring 1 81 minutes of peace
in my otherwise wretched life.
- Please?
- All right.
But in my professional opinion
you don't need a video store.
You need a pharmacy.
Anyway, I hear Jen's ex
has been lurking around Capeside.
Met the strapping young fellow yet?
Oh, yeah.
He's a real charmer.
Just about lost three toes
to a pair of his steel-belted radials.
So, what's the party line?
Think she'll go back to him?
- Return to her wanton New York ways?
- You know, I really don't know
but if Jen did ditch Dawson
for Billy the Kid
wouldn't that please a certain
someone we both know?
You know me, Pacey.
I'm not one
to stand in the way of true love.
But if Jen has a connection to this
guy, which it seems like she does
What can we do about it?
I've never really taken a particular
interest in your life, because
frankly, your life has never
been particularly interesting.
But there is one thing
I need to know.
You're really, really enjoying the fact
that Jen's ex is in town, aren't you?
It's intriguing, Pacey.
Even you have to admit that.
But you know what?
This is the wedge you've been waiting
for to drive Jen and Dawson apart.
No, Pacey.
You're such
- It's not like that at all.
- We've been friends too long.
And up until now, I've just stood
idly by and watched this go down.
But it's time to lay this
on the line, okay?
You have some raging hormonal
obsession for our friend Dawson
and you just can't wait to get your
hooks into him but good, can you?
Huh?
Bite me, Pacey.
Busted.
Hey, be kind, rewind.
- What is the big deal?
- The instruction was pretty basic.
Never be more than three
feet from your buddy.
Now that's ironic.
Me getting
*** at for floating away from you.
The teacher said
if the tank was leaking
and the oxygen ran out,
or I were caught in a kelp bed
We were in a pool, Gale, all right?
What is the worst that could happen,
we bump our heads on a slide?
That is not the point.
Look, I can't do this by myself.
If you're gonna fight
therapy every step of the way
then we're both wasting time.
So let me know
because if that's the case,
then we might as well
- Can I take your order?
- Let's see
You know, everything's really good.
- Hey, Joey, table five.
- Miss, I think I'll have some coffee.
- All right, in one second.
- What can I get you?
- Can I take your order?
- Already ordered.
This is table eight, Joey.
I said table five.
Okay.
Miss, that coffee please?
All right, in a second.
Just a second.
Hey, Jo.
Thanks, Satan,
for completing this night
by sending one
of your disciples to finish me.
- What are you doing tonight?
- Excuse me, I didn't order this.
Forget I said that.
I was out looking for a date and since
I couldn't find one, I thought of you.
So how's about it?
You wanna crash a party with me?
You know, as much as that sounds
like so much fun, I'm kind of busy.
- Come on, Jo, it'll be fun.
- Yeah.
After I serve the 1 00
millionth seafood platter
pick the glass
out of the ice machine
scrape the mung
out of the fry-o-laters
I was gonna take my tip money
fly to the Canary Islands
and open an offshore account.
What do you think of that?
Sorry.
You know, when's the last?
Okay, all right, all right.
Wait, Joey, when's the last time
you went out and had some fun?
Don't ask.
Besides, Dawson's gonna be there.
- Big whoop.
- Alone, Joey.
Go.
But it's swamped.
Sara's coming in to cover.
She can't handle this alone
- Goodbye.
- Thank you.
Come on, come on, come on.
Party on, Bessie.
- Dawson?
- Yeah?
Hey.
Hey.
How's it going?
- Complicated.
You?
- Complicated.
Squarely in the midst of what
Dr.
Keenan would refer to as Stage 4.
Stage 4.
Dare I ask what Stage 5 is?
Anyway, on to you.
Where's Billy the Kid?
Probably out with his ex-girlfriend,
who is my current girlfriend
which means that I'll be
attending tonight's barbecue solo
while Jen spends the afternoon
with my new roommate.
I wonder what stage
Dr.
Keenan would put us in.
- High school.
- Let's face it, Dad.
We're a couple of nice guys
which stopped being a desirable
trait about half a century ago.
I am the last person who should
give you or anyone else romance tips.
However, it seems every relationship
produces its share of disappointment
and insecurity and pain.
Anyone who's never been hurt
is either very lucky
or very Ionely.
The trick is
to get through it.
- How?
- Compromise.
Tears.
Scuba lessons at the local Y.
- Different for everyone.
- And that works?
I have no idea, kid.
No idea whatsoever.
Do you know how much
I just wanna scoop you up
and take you to New York?
And I would just end up
turning around and coming here.
- This is my home, Billy.
- So this is really it?
You are leaving me for a guy
who's got an E.
T.
doll on his bed.
- It's a collector's item.
- It is a doll.
Look, Billy, it's been
good to see you again
but I should go to that party
and find Dawson
since I owe him
about 400 explanations.
All right then,
before you leave
since who knows when and if
we'll ever see each other again
how about for old time's
sake, you and me
just one last kiss?
One last kiss and then you'll go?
Scout's honor.
Goodbye, Billy.
What'd I tell you?
Is this a great party or what?
Oh, yeah.
Time of my life.
I'm ready for the group
hug whenever you are.
Melissa Fife at 1:00.
That's the girl of my dreams
right there.
How do I look?
Like a before picture
in an ad for geek remover.
Easy, doll.
Jealousy's not
gonna get you anywhere.
- Great party, huh?
- Yeah, the time of my life.
I've had a rocking time since
I joined the JV football team.
Yeah, and cheerleading
has opened up so many doors.
What do you say, one drink
and we hit the video store?
- Thought you'd never ask.
- Be right back.
Okay.
Hi.
- Hey, you're here.
- Yeah, I'm here, I'm alone
and I'm sorry about
everything, Dawson
about the way that I treated you.
I mean, I was foolish, and it
was stupid of me to think that
Come on, let's go talk.
- Drink?
- No, thanks.
Really, I got an extra, so it's
My friend's getting one,
so I'm fine, thanks.
Really? Who's your friend?
Dawson Leery.
You probably don't know him.
Sure, Dawson.
Sophomore, currently hitting the
beach with that cute, blond chick.
Drink?
Yeah, sure.
You know what, Dawson, I'm sorry.
I know I could have
handled things better
but it's like Billy showed up and
my judgment flew out the window.
- I cut class and
- You're too *** yourself.
I swear, she's too *** herself.
Why is he here?
I thought you told him to go?
I did.
I swear to God.
Yes, but I took the liberty
of reading between the lines.
What are you talking about?
Let's just say, as a student
of the goodbye kiss
it possessed a little more kiss
and a little less goodbye.
- You kissed him?
- It was a goodbye kiss, Dawson.
It was a goodbye kiss.
If that's all it was, then I will take
my leave right now, but you tell me
tell me all that kiss
said was goodbye.
Excuse me.
All right, not that I care
but you might want to pace
yourself with this stuff.
Pacey, I know I don't say it enough,
but you're a really terrific friend.
Okay, thanks, yeah.
Is this guy bothering you, Chloe?
Okay, just a couple of things.
First, her name's not Chloe,
it's Joey.
And second, no,
I'm not hitting on her.
I'm just her friend, God knows.
Well, thanks for the info.
We'll catch you later.
Come on, let's take a little walk.
Bye.
Jen, tell him that kiss
meant nothing.
Dawson, you've gotta understand.
I mean, this is such
a confusing situation
Then what? Your world is so
completely upside down
that you can't answer a question?
I think she did answer the question.
You happen not to like the answer.
Stay out of this, okay?
This doesn't concern you.
I think that's where
we disagree, Dawson
because not only does this
concern me, it concerns me gravely.
So if there was ever a third and
expendable wheel, it would be you.
See, Jen and I go way back.
She was with me long before she
ever even entered into your fantasies.
You and everyone else.
You know, Dawson, I may have
made some mistakes
but at least I don't
live in a fantasy world
I'm sorry.
I don't
want to trade insults.
I just want to know where I stand.
One of us has got to go.
Who's it going to be? Him or me?
Jen, who's the third wheel
in this scenario?
You know, I think I am.
- Jen?
- Jen?
You happy now?
Actually, not too bad.
You?
- Are you trying?
- Come on.
- Come on.
- Are we dancing?
We're doing whatever
you want to do, sweetheart.
All right, Jo, say goodbye
to the nice serial *** man.
You again, a-hole?
- She doesn't want to leave.
- I don't want to leave, Pacey.
All right, Come on,
cowboy, party's over.
God.
You all right?
Jo?
Dawson.
Thank you.
You're my hero.
This is probably not one
of the brightest things you've done.
Shut up.
If Bodie sees her
like this, she's dead.
I know.
You two stay here.
I'll go ahead.
Can you handle
lush-life by yourself?
Whatever you do,
don't wake up the baby.
Okay, okay.
- All right.
Okay, we're gonna walk.
- Okay.
Hey.
Hey, little man.
Why don't you just play like you're
drunk Aunt Joey and go back to sleep?
There you go.
There you go.
Get your feet up.
Joey
I know it's been
a tough week for you.
And you always try to handle
everything by yourself.
Is that why you got
drunk tonight, Jo?
You just needed
a little break from life?
Tartar sauce.
Tartar sauce,
table five.
Table five.
Come on, little guy.
Come on.
You want that?
Right in there, come on.
Oh, God, there's gotta be
something to quiet this kid down.
It's probably the wrong
time to tell you this, but
Well, maybe it's the perfect time.
I realize how incredibly confusing
things are between us right now.
I can't even begin to
explain our relationship.
You probably can't either.
But
I just want you to know that
if you ever need me
I'll always be here for you.
All you ever have to do is ask.
So the guy who ends up being
the English patient and that girl
they're stranded in the cave,
and she looks up at him.
She's like:
"Oh, no, please don't leave me.
Promise me you'll
come back someday.
"
And he turns around Hey, listen
to this.
He turns around.
He's like:
"Don't worry, darling,
I'll come back for you
unless my plane
is shot down by Nazis
and my face is burned
beyond recognition
after cutting off
Willem Dafoe's fingers.
"
Okay, it's cool.
Let's go.
All right.
Sleep tight, little man.
I guess scuba diving wasn't such
an inspired idea after all.
Yeah, well, I don't think
that scuba diving
water skiing or bungee jumping
is the key to solving our problems.
- I know.
I just thought if maybe
we tried something new
I'm not sure that it's
the new stuff that needs the work.
Maybe we've neglected
some of the old things?
Gale, I love you.
And I am willing to do
whatever I have to.
So why don't we just start with
something really simple, okay?
Something that doesn't
require regulators
or parachutes
or oxygen tanks.
Okay.
Like what?
May I?
One thing at a time, Gale.
Dude, Joey was so out of it tonight.
She babbled on
about the Ice House
kissed me, rolled
over and passed out
- Wait, wait, she kissed you?
- Yeah.
She kissed you like an
aunt-on-Thanksgiving kiss
or she kissed you?
- She kissed me.
I mean, it meant nothing.
She was completely wasted,
obviously mistook me for Brad Pitt.
Dawson, my fine, oblivious friend.
One of these days, you'll have to
take a gigantic fact-check, all right?
She didn't mistake
you for anybody, okay?
This girl is head-in-the-clouds
one hundred percent, ***-backwards
in love with you, all right?
Dude, Pacey Joey and I
have a great time together.
It's great to have somebody
that you know so well
that you don't have to verbalize
what you're thinking most of the time.
The other person
just gets it, picks up on it.
And it's like that with Joey and me.
It's great, and I like it, but it's
I mean, it's not love.
All right, don't you think
it's a little strange
that in the middle of
a disastrous weekend with Jen
you and I are talking
about your friend Joey?
Love is what I have with Jen, okay?
It's exciting.
It's new and unknown.
Yeah, I mean,
sometimes it's out of hand
but there's a difference
between friendship and love.
Right, and you're so sure
that you know that difference?
You don't know what
you're talking about.
Leaving so soon?
Yeah.
I thought I'd check
out the scenery up the coast.
My travel agent says it's
spectacular this time of year.
I assume you haven't
tried to steal anything
other than my girlfriend?
Hey, relax, all right? You win.
I just talked to Jen, and apparently
she's not as confused as she seems.
So it looks like the nice guy
is gonna get the girl after all.
Oh, by the way,
if traffic's with me
I can make it up here from New York
in under three and a half hours.
You better treat her good, Dawson.
I will.
You know, for someone who views
himself as a tragically nice guy
I spend an awful
lot of time apologizing.
I'm sorry about what I said.
Insecurity brings out the worst
You
You know how you're curious about
what my life was like in New York?
Truth is, it's really no different
than it is right now.
I mean, geography aside,
I am still the same stupid girl
who's always found it easier
to escape into a relationship
than to face life on her own.
- That's not true.
It's this whole Billy thing.
Now that the Ghost
of Boyfriends Past is gone
we can go back.
- To what?
Dawson, I
I'm 1 6, I've never stayed
home on a Saturday night
I've never gone stag
to a school dance.
I mean, I'm pretty, I'm lucky
I'm fortunate and
And I am still way too unhappy
most of the time.
I told Billy today that
it was over with us.
I know, he told me.
And now I have to say
the same thing to you.
What?
You know what, I know I criticize you
for living in a fantasy world, Dawson
but the truth is
I envy you.
Everything is so new,
so untouched for you.
I would gladly trade in
all my experience
for just an ounce
of your idealism.
And I wish I knew some
better way to say this
We can make this work.
We can fix this.
I know we can.
- No, it's over.
It's over.
- Jen, you're upset.
Sleep on it, we'll talk tomorrow.
- We don't need to go over this now.
- Dawson, please, listen to me.
I gotta take a few steps back.
I've got to try life
on my own for a while.
You can't just make me fall
for you and then
bail as soon as it
I'll miss you, you know.
Yeah.
I'll be sleeping
and it'll feel like
a thousand miles.
I'll regret my decision constantly.
I'll kick myself to no end
And when I come crawling back to you,
you'll have every right to say:
"Take a hike, Jen.
I'm with somebody
else, and I don't"
Somebody who appreciates me.
Somebody who doesn't blow
into town
and play mind games
with the boy next door.
Somebody who is capable of
a healthy, committed relationship.
And unfortunately,
somebody nothing like you.
