-You're still studying?
-You sound surprised.
-Well, it's just--
-lt's just that you half-expected
to see me on the ground with
a beer *** dangling out of my throat.
Forgive the momentary
lack of faith
but you were recently seen
attempting flight.
There's nothing like getting pulled out
of a swimming pool
to make a guy change his ways.
Your recent exploits at spring break
do qualify you for official rock bottom.
Yeah.
And now all l have to do
is learn
a semester of advanced multivariable
calculus in the next 1 8 hours
so that l can pass this exam,
stay in school
and have back that elusive entity
we call a life.
l'm gonna be at work
so you're welcome
to stay here and study
as long as you like.
No.
Thanks, but l think
it's okay to get back to Grams'.
She and Mr.
Smalls have to be
done practicing choir by now.
You don't really believe
they asked you to leave
so they could rehearse
''Jesus Loves Me'' in private?
Please, just don't try and take
that myth away from me, all right?
There are some things
we don't need to know about.
See you.
Does being propositioned by your boss
count as one of those things?
Your boss?
Boss that fired Audrey?
Boss that kissed me directly after l
asked her to give Audrey her job back.
-That's *** harassment.
-Strangely, l think Audrey
would concentrate more
on the *** than the harassment.
-So you shouldn't tell her.
-But since honesty
is the cornerstone
of a relationship
and she kissed her ex-boyfriend
and told me.
But you weren't fooling around
with an old flame here, okay?
-You got kissed against your will.
-This is true.
Will this woman's develop
-a conscience and tell Audrey?
-No.
-Will it happen again?
-No.
-l don't see any reason to tell.
-l'd feel much less guilty.
Why? You didn't do anything.
She's hot.
Right?
Come on, Pace.
Fess up.
She's a total hottie, right?
l don't see how that's relevant.
l'm a victim.
-A victim of unwanted *** advances.
-Pace--
Okay, perhaps
not entirely unwanted.
So how hot is she?
Why don't you ask her?
Hi.
l'm Alex.
Hi.
l'm.
l'm J-- Jack.
You, my friend, are in trouble.
l'm really flattered, Alex
but didn't anybody ever tell you
no means no?
Look, Pacey, l didn't come here
to jump your bones.
-You didn't?
-No.
l came here to apologize.
l hope you accept this.
l'm really sorry
about coming on to you the other night.
lt was a terrible thing to do.
Well, somehow
l've managed to survive.
l got out of a doomed relationship
before l moved here
and l haven't made
a lot of friends yet
and l was just feeling
kind of lonely.
Obviously l completely misjudged
that situation.
So l feel like a fool.
Well, it's nothing worth
beating yourself up over.
No, l--
lt's just so embarrassing.
l mean, this is exactly why
l'm still single.
Why, because you kiss the help?
No.
Because l take getting
what l want for granted.
Like you have a girlfriend.
l respect that.
As a matter of fact, l'm hoping
she'll come back to work with us.
-Do you think that she might?
-l could certainly talk to her.
Great.
And, listen
no matter how cute
you are in your uniform
l promise, from now on
complete professionalism.
-Deal?
-Yeah.
l think l can work
under those conditions.
Wow.
This is a really nice place
you've got here.
l mean, l must be seriously
overpaying you.
No.
lt's Brecher's old apartment.
l'm squatting here
until they find a new tenant.
l've been looking for a place.
Hey, maybe l'll grab it
and let you live here
for a little while rent-free.
We could work something out.
Work something out?
Oh, lighten up, Pacey.
l'm talking about the apartment.
Of course.
Oh, sorry.
-You're laughing again.
-Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
lt's so hard to believe the same man
who gave us Spinal Tap
-gave us The Story of Us.
-You know, this is so unfair.
l spend my night preparing for finals
while you watch movies.
l have finals.
l'm under pressure.
l've got five movies to get through.
Sounds better than a macroeconomic
textbook and medieval literature.
One of the movies is playing.
Take a break?
Oh, l can't, Dawson.
l have
major catch-up to do tonight.
That's what happens
when you get a life.
l remember getting straight A's
then there was this singing incident
in a bar, and here l am
behind in my reading assignments.
Second thoughts about this new life?
Yeah.
l'm never going to take a class
where they make you read Beowulf.
Right.
Dawson--
l'm grateful for your company and glad
you wanted to hang out and study--
-Yeah?
-You think you could do it quietly?
Yeah.
No problem.
l think l'm just gonna go catch
that movie now.
Good idea.
l'm pulling out the big guns tonight,
Jack.
Ginkgo biloba.
Stimulates the memory,
improves mental acuity.
l'm gonna need a lot more than
herbal tea to learn this stuff.
Well, natural ginkgolides and faith,
a powerful combination.
Sorry, Grams, but l am way beyond
blind, can-do enthusiasm at this point.
l'm now deep into fear and panic.
Well, now, you've managed
to adequately prepare
for all your other examinations.
l'm quite certain you can do
the same for this one.
l could fudge my way through
the English lit essays.
'' lntro to Archaeology,''
it's multiple choice.
But this stuff,
multivariable calculus
you either know it or you don't,
and l don't.
Perhaps you should enlist some help
from one of your classmates.
Perhaps l don't know my classmates.
Perhaps l haven't even been to class.
Perhaps that's why l don't have
the notes to understand the textbooks.
Oh, dear boy, l know it seems
all hope is lost, but remember--
l love you, Grams.
But please don't launch into a speech
about Daniel in the lion's den now.
Little David and Goliath?
Need some new material, eh?
Yeah.
You do.
-Can l have the ginkgi?
-Yeah.
To hell with herbal tea.
You need coffee
and a lot of it.
Now hit those books.
One way or another, we're gonna
get you through this.
Of all the movie joints
in all the towns in all the world--
Sex, Lies and Videotape
is 1 4 years old.
Late for your review.
-l'm not here for work.
-Pleasure?
-No.
A date.
-Not one and the same?
-Not so much.
-Where is he?
Probably still in Storytelling
with the rest of the freaks.
Let's get out of here
before he comes out.
-Seen it?
-Storytelling?
No interest.
So you just went
and saw a different movie?
l left him in there, actually.
What kind of a man
sucks a Jordan almond?
You walked out on a date because you
didn't like how the guy ate his candy?
You didn't hear
the noise he was making.
Oh, and when we parked,
car cover.
Has anybody told you
you're a critical person?
Thank you.
We all have our gifts.
Some of us have figured out
how to scam a living out of them.
l was well aware
of how you make a living.
Let's see.
How was it?
'' Despite a truly inspired ending which
should garner him some attention
Mr.
Leery's first effort is,
at times, imitative
derivative and full
of unexplored potential.
''
That's not a slam.
You didn't expect me to go easy
because we kissed?
-Surprised you didn't critique the kiss.
-Who says l didn't?
l like your work, Dawson,
more than you know.
What about you? Tested
the dating waters of insanity?
No, no.
l'm just here
studying for finals
doing research on a paper
for first-time directors.
Smart boy.
Wanna see one of my favourite
films by a new director?
-Now?
-Sure.
lt's too early to go to bed.
We could go back to my place.
How do you know l'm not
a Jordan almond sucker?
Oh, l know.
Anyway, all l keep
at my house are Junior Mints.
-ln the freezer?
-Where else?
So she wants me to come back?
l said l'd get you your job back.
Can l deliver or what?
She just changed her mind?
Alex came to me
and told me to tell you
that you have your job back.
She's not the ***
that you think she is.
l know exactly who she is,
and she knows exactly who l am.
Women speak a shorthand
with each other.
Not to knock the estrogenic
Morse code
but you might've misjudged her.
Oh, have l? What reason did she give
for suddenly changing her mind?
-Does it really matter?
-Humour me.
-Because she was being nice.
-Why?
-Because she's a nice person.
-Bull!
And because l asked her, okay?
Oh, okay.
So she was being nice to you.
What do you care?
You got your job back.
lf you could put on your uniform
then we could resume our usual
inappropriate work banter.
-l think she wants you.
-Come on.
l have seen the way
she looks at you.
She would only be nice
if it served her.
Alex said she realized
what a wonderful waitress you are
and didn't want
the restaurant to lose you.
-Has she hit on you?
-No!
l am a terrible waitress.
You've been getting
much better lately.
l would've been out day one
if it wasn't for my ***.
-Don't sell yourself short--
-Did she hit on you?
No.
You're being ridiculous.
-Your pulse jumped.
-l'm nervous.
Your pulse is racing.
You are afraid.
You have your fingers to my jugular.
l'm afraid of dying!
l'm willing to bend the rules
on interoffice relationships
but could you try
to keep it private?
l think we can probably do that.
Right, honey?
Sure.
l'm so glad to have you back.
You're a vital part
of our serving team.
Thanks.
-You see?
-Completely.
Having me back is the last thing
she wants.
Then why would she say it?
She knows there is
no way in hell l ever would.
What is it that l'm missing here,
Audrey?
Everything! God, l am
quitting!
l like your place.
Very Bridget Jones meets film geek.
Some girls collect shoes.
l pretty much
keep Amazon in business.
l've been that way since l was a kid.
Now here is a truly great film.
Traffic? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, Soderbergh
finally found his voice.
You prefer a long, self-important
Hollywood movie
over a unique, independent
first film?
Sex, Lies and Videotape is a throwback
to all those old classics
where all people do is talk.
When
anything takes place you wanna see
he has the camera cut away.
lt takes a while for young filmmakers
-to figure out what they wanna say.
-That's a broad generalization.
Name a truly original movie
by a first-time director.
Reservoir Dogs, Les Mistons,
Strictly Ballroom
Diner, The Maltese Falcon
Body Heat, Clerks, Ordinary People,
Say Anything--
-What? What are you looking at?
-You!
l've been engulfed in my studies.
Don't tell me, the thesis
for your final paper
''Soderbergh's first film
shows us
how subtly provocative
the movies can be.
That just talk
can be an erogenous zone.
''
You don't agree?
l suppose it depends
who you're talking to.
l thought we were gonna
watch the movie.
You know what?
Change of plan.
Wow.
That happened.
Yeah, it did.
l just realized something.
People asking each other how
it was afterwards
comes from movies.
Sure.
lt's an expositional device
needed because of the cutaway.
There's no cutaway in real life.
No audience to spoon-feed something
they weren't allowed to see.
l like that.
Me too.
'' The Marjorie Game.
Directed by Amy Lloyd in completion
of the BFA of filmmaking.
''
-Give me that.
-What?
-You were a filmmaking major?
-Amazing.
l had you pegged
as a critical studies major.
You learn something new every day.
We're popping this in the VCR.
-No, no.
-Come on.
l showed you mine.
No way.
Dawson, l'm serious.
l can see that.
Boys suck.
So does taking classes over
in summer school.
But you are my roommate
and l am legally required
to be here for you, so do tell.
ln precisely what way
doth the male suckage occur?
-What?
-Beowulf overdose.
l think he could be cheating on me.
-Who?
-Carlos, the dorm security guard.
Who do you think? Pacey.
Pacey doesn't cheat.
Oh, yeah? Get this.
So he asks Mrs.
Robinson
to give me my job back.
And she agrees.
So you deduce
that he's having an affair?
She's the affair type.
Those Donna
Karan business suits don't fool me.
She is a femme fatale with an MBA
in '' how to take your man.
''
lf she wants him,
why would she keep you around?
To keep him happy.
To keep him off-guard.
lt's all part of her crafty plan.
Have you heard,
'' Keep your enemies close''?
Have you heard,
''You need to be medicated''?
He is covering something.
l know he
is, okay? l don't know exactly what.
But l can tell he's keeping something
from me.
Maybe it's a family thing
or he's having a problem
with someone he's supervising.
Not everything is about you, Audrey.
Well, most everything is.
Okay, well, maybe he's
planning a surprise for you
or getting you a present.
l do have a birthday coming up.
Okay.
Maybe you're right.
Maybe he's just planning
a surprise or something.
-There you go.
-Earrings would be nice.
You know, like hoops?
Rhinestone.
Turquoise! Match my ring.
-Don't you have finals to study for?
-Those are coming up soon, right?
-Audrey!
-l just do that to annoy you.
You're so cute when you
worry about me, bunny.
Books.
Getting them.
And now, it's Witter time.
-Good night.
-Right back at you.
Are you gonna be here for a while?
-Sorry?
-lt's getting kind of late, you know?
Oh, l have to get
all this work finished
and sent out to management
by tomorrow.
-Thank God l'm a night owl.
-Well, aren't we all?
lf you're gonna be here,
there's stuff--
Oh, no, no.
Go home.
Go be with your Audrey.
-You're sure you'll be all right?
-l'm a big girl, Pacey.
So l noticed.
l'm staying in a place
around the corner.
When l'm finished,
l'm just gonna walk there.
This seems like a hip, artsy
neighbourhood during the day.
lt's not the same at night.
Maybe you should go now.
l can take care of myself.
Us girls are stronger than you think.
Which is exactly
what my friend Joey said
right before she met up with
a 9 mm just down the street.
Well, l can't leave right now.
l'd have to carry these books.
But you can leave now.
l'll carry them for you.
You really are a find, aren't you?
Yeah.
That's what all the girls say.
Right before they see my socks.
Maybe what you need is a girl
who knows how to take care of you.
And maybe you just need to
let a guy walk you home.
Who am l to argue with
a chivalrous gentleman at this hour?
Okay.
Polar Bear?
Jack.
What are you doing here?
l was hoping you guys
could help me out.
You really shouldn't be here, man.
Here's a margarita.
You really gotta get going.
l don't need a drink right now,
all right?
Jack McPhee
turning down alcohol.
lf you live long enough,
l guess you see everything.
Look, guys, l need to get into the notes
and test files for a calculus class.
Notes and tests? Notes and tests.
l don't know what
you're talking about.
Come on, Blossom,
Sigma has a whole file
on old class notes
and exams from way back.
What? l-- l've never
heard of anything like that.
Has anyone here ever
heard of anything like that?
Must be just a rumour.
Anyways,
if something like that were to exist
obviously it would be completely
off-limits to, well, non-brothers.
l know we've had our differences.
But l'm trying to clean up my act here.
So l'm asking you
as someone who used to hang out
with you
can you do me a favour?
Sorry, but there's just really nothing
the brotherhood can do for you.
-Later, McPhee.
-You know, if you wanna be a jerk
because it's in your nature, fine.
But don't hide
behind the bonds of brotherhood.
There's a whole world
full of people
who actually give a crap
about other people as individuals.
Someday, you'll have to stop
hiding out at this house
and join that world, Blossom.
Get a load of Ernest McPhee.
-You know, you just really need a drink.
-What l need is help.
Yeah.
-Thanks a lot.
-Thanks.
Look at you, all Harrison Ford
in Working Girl.
l'd rather be him in Raiders.
-Cuter in the former.
-Cooler in the latter.
That's yours.
So
what is it about your movie
that you don't want me to see?
lt's just too personal.
l'll admit that my experience
in this area is limited
but haven't we already
crossed the personal barrier?
Okay.
You want the truth?
The no-holds-barred, ugly truth?
Please.
The movie stinks.
-That's it?
-Yeah.
Not in a common way.
l mean, this baby is an extraordinary
masterwork of stinkage.
lt's amazing we can even tolerate being
in the same room with the videotape.
-You're not being *** yourself?
-Oh, no.
Because l've read your reviews.
You can be rather relentless.
l wasn't alone
in my particular opinion.
So you just never
wanted to make another one?
l love movies.
l started faking sick
in the third grade
so l could stay home
and watch them.
l started in the fifth.
l'm a grown-up who gets paid
to watch all day.
That sounds great.
But you
never answered my question
which is, have you ever
wanted to make another film?
The first one was such a disaster.
Why would l do it again?
A girl told me it takes a while
for young filmmakers
-to figure out what they wanna say.
-So quit my job
and use my credit cards
to finance a movie now?
You wouldn't be the first.
l'm not sure l have the same
raw talent that you have, Dawson.
How would you know?
Filmmaking was something l loved.
But l was given a chance to do this job.
lt turns out that l'm great at it.
That makes me happy.
So l left filmmaking behind
and l moved on with my life.
Sometimes you just have to
let things go like that.
Sounds very smart and practical.
And a little sad.
A little.
Are you sure
those aren't too heavy?
What, the Encyclopaedia of
Civilization collection?
No.
l'll be fine.
Did you know we have letters
in there about the foie gras?
''Stop the suffering.
''
What's wrong with people?
l don't know.
There's a lot
of crazies in the world.
l guess you never know
what you're dealing with.
-This is me.
-So this is it, huh?
l heard they have theme rooms
in this place.
lt's true.
l'm in the Santa Fe suite.
-Me and Theo.
-Theo?
He's the bull's head on the wall.
l've named him Theo.
You really need to get
your own place.
-You're telling me.
-Yeah.
You should seriously consider
taking over my apartment.
Okay.
l will.
lf you wanna come look at it again--
You could bring Theo for
a second opinion if you need him.
-Are you sure about that?
-Yeah.
Of course.
Thanks, Pacey.
lt's nice to have you as a friend.
Okay, well--
l guess l should be going, Alex.
Yeah, l guess so.
-Okay.
Good night.
-Good night, Pacey.
Maybe he's planning a little
surprise trip for the two of us.
-Audrey--
-You know, like a spa or something.
A massage would be nice.
God, sitting on these chairs
is *** on my butt.
Cramming boring, dreary,
medieval fairytales
and the workings of the Fed
is hard enough
without hearing a diatribe
about your ***.
So unless you wanna visit me
at Worcester Trade School
go find your boyfriend
and drive him crazy.
Finals.
Pressure.
Pup tent with a boy
when she should have been studying.
Audrey--
-You need to go now.
-l think l'm gonna go see Pacey.
Good idea.
Please tell me you know something
about multivariable calculus.
l can honestly say, l've never
had a day like this before.
Me neither.
-Can l ask you a question?
-You just did.
But feel free to ask another one.
What makes a girl decide to spend
the night with a guy she hardly knows?
The same things
that make a guy want to.
Of course, with girls
the deciding factor
is usually the shoes.
You decided because
of my Skechers?
Yeah.
l could tell you were okay.
Safe.
Genuine.
A kindred spirit.
-And Mr.
Car Cover?
-Loafers.
-lnteresting.
-The problem with your girlfriend
was just that she didn't
appreciate quality footwear.
Does breaking up bite or what?
You know what? lt wasn't that bad.
We're still great friends.
-You're friends?
-The same as before.
l threw a Cuisinart at my boyfriend
when we broke up.
-l'm not so much the appliance-thrower.
-You've never had
-any knockdown, dragout fights?
-No.
Doesn't sound like
there was much there.
What, just because
l don't believe in fighting?
You are a passionate guy, Mr.
Leery.
The secret is out.
Someday, you are gonna meet someone
who drives you absolutely mad
who you're gonna fight with
and laugh with
and do totally insane things for.
Someone who turns your life
wildly upside down.
l think l've already met that person.
Really? Why aren't you with her?
Bad timing
l suppose.
Oh, l had a chance a while back,
and l blew it
and then she just kind of
felt the same you did
about your life and moved on.
-How do you know that?
-She spent the night with another guy.
-What?
-Nothing.
-Well, why are you laughing at me?
-lt's funny.
You're so convinced that
she's moved on, because why?
-She was with another guy?
-Yeah.
You're spending the night with me.
Does that mean that you've moved on?
Oh, Jack, where have you been?
The Worthington Library.
lt turns out this stuff
is even beyond the academic ability
of Joey Potter.
lf that isn't a sign to throw in
the towel, l don't know what is.
-We have been waiting for you.
-We?
Hey, man.
What the hell's he doing here?
What do you want?
Well, l heard you needed some help.
Just a second.
Hey.
l know it's late.
But sitting around in my room made me
realize you are completely right.
-About what?
-Well, l do need a place of my own.
So l decided to take you up
on your offer.
And which offer would that be?
To check out your apartment.
Alex, it's nearly 2 in the morning.
But you said you were
a night owl like l am
and you walked me home
an hour ago.
l just figured--
What?
Oh, my God.
l'm sorry.
-lt's okay.
-No.
You know what?
lt's not okay.
l misjudged
this whole thing again.
l'm-- l'm just--
l'm leaving.
l feel terrible.
There's nothing for you
to feel terrible about.
Yes, there is.
Okay? Here you have
this life, this great.
wonderful life.
And l keep imposing myself on it.
You are not imposing.
l know that l am.
You're not, okay?
lt's fine.
Please.
Come in.
Take a look around.
lt's fine.
-No.
l couldn't.
-You can.
Let me get you something.
All l have
is water and OJ.
l hope that's all right.
What about the champagne?
l mean, if you want to.
Sure.
l guess a little champagne
between colleagues never hurt.
You know, Pacey Witter,
you are such a doll.
l have so much respect for you
having the strength
not to act on this thing.
-And what thing would that be?
-You know the thing.
This heat.
l felt it tonight when you hugged me.
l felt it that time when we kissed.
-Oh, gee!
-Shut the door, Pacey.
lt'll keep the heat in.
Audrey.
Audrey!
Audrey, stop.
Let me explain.
l don't wanna hear your explanations.
-lt's clear to me.
-She just dropped by.
And you were trying
so hard to get her to leave.
-lt is not what it looks like.
-Go back!
-Nothing happened!
-You kissed her!
-She kissed me.
-That makes me feel so much better!
-lt didn't mean anything!
-The hug or the kiss?
-Neither.
-lt meant your arms around her body.
-lt meant her tongue in your throat.
-Well, it was her tongue--
-l don't wanna hear this!
-Sorry.
Stop.
-Let go of me.
-Just listen to me.
Why should l? You lied to me.
-l didn't think it would happen again.
-You were wrong.
-l didn't want to embarrass her.
-What are you talking about, Pacey?
This your boss hitting on you.
lf you wanted to stop it,
you could have.
And you didn't because you like it.
You are attracted to her and--
lt's really obvious to me.
lf you didn't want her to hit on you,
why didn't you quit?
Because maybe l need this job.
l'm not exactly rolling
in money here.
l can't afford a place to live.
l'm not a rich college girl
who can quit
when the mood strikes me.
That's cool.
You know what?
Screw the girl, keep your job.
Have your cake
and eat it too.
lt's fine!
You're still here.
Well, l thought
you might need a friend.
Come and sit.
You realize that she
may never talk to me again?
l told you, 1 9 is too young
to be settling down.
You're driving me crazy, Alex,
you realize that?
Can't help it.
l've told you, l take getting
what l want for granted.
l thought you said you were trying
to change that about yourself.
l believe that people
should listen to their urges.
You are a very determined
woman, aren't you?
Everybody already thinks
you did it, Pacey
so why don't you just do it?
This is great.
Too bad we have to stop.
-We have to what?
-Stop.
But what about the heat?
Well, just knowing that we
could do it, it's enough.
lt is?
lt is.
lt would just be inappropriate.
Could you guys get a room?
lt's a library.
Check this exam out.
lt's dated May 1 0, 1 982
and it's graded
by my same professor.
Multivariable calculus probably
hasn't changed much since then.
Yeah, well, based
on these years' notes
neither has the way
that he's been teaching it.
How did you do this, get all
this stuff out of the house?
Well, l just put it in my backpack
and just walked on out of there.
What about the bylaws?
What if somebody finds out?
Well, then, l guess l get expelled
from the house.
You're willing to risk that?
l hear it's possible to leave
a fraternity and survive.
Yeah.
l know guys that have done it.
Why are you doing this, Eric?
Why are you helping me?
Because you helped me.
l wanna give you something
before you go.
Your thesis film?
lf this were the third act of a movie,
that's what this would be.
-You'd watch it, it would be great--
-l'd give it to a professor
who would give it to a student
who now runs a studio.
And l'd see my name up on
the big screen just a few months later.
l would have liked that.
Seeing
my name on the screen just once.
You get to see your name
in print a lot.
Yes.
l sure do.
lt's What's Up Tiger Lily?
-*** Allen.
-His first.
Do you know it?
-No.
-He took this old Japanese movie
and he just replaced the dialogue.
lt's literally a remake
of someone else's picture.
Obviously, it's derivative
and imitative and--
Full of unexplored potential.
But if you look at it closely,
you can see a glimmer of Annie Hall
a twinkle of Manhattan
and the promise of Hannah.
Thank you.
l'll call you when l'm done, and--
lt's a gift.
We're both in very different places
in our lives, Dawson.
Mine is much more predictable
and defined than yours
and l think we both know
l'm probably not the person
you need to be spending
your precious time with right now.
l don't think your life
is nearly as predictable
and defined as you think it is.
Why is that?
Would you have predicted
a night like this?
l would like to keep in touch
with you.
Then do.
l'd like that.
Maybe we can
catch a movie some time.
Audrey, it's Pacey.
lf you're there,
could you please pick up the phone?
Audrey?
Please?
Audrey, come on.
-Hey.
-Hey.
How long have you--?
How long have you been here?
A while.
How was the movie?
Fun.
lnspiring.
-Completely unexpected.
-Lucky you.
How's studying?
Not good.
l only have a couple of hours left.
Here.
Maybe this will help.
Do you mind if l just sit here
a little while?
You know, if you need anything,
l can--
Sure.
Thank you.
Very sweet.
Much needed.
l gotta tell you, Dawson
it's like the entire world
has been coming at me tonight.
Like, completely distracting me
from what l've spent my entire life
preparing for.
l mean
it's like this night has been a
metaphor for the whole semester.
One big left turn.
Not that it's been bad
because it hasn't,
but it's just
if l don't get myself
back on track, l could--
Dawson?
Joey, can l ask you a question?
Do you like my shoes?
Yeah.
Why?
Just wondering.
