Jen: [after making out with Pacey] Nothing?
Pacey: Nothing, you?
Jen: Nothing, God Pacey this is weird.
Pacey: It's the damnedest thing. How are we supposed to have some lurid, purely sexual affair when every time we get together...?
Jen: There's no sexual tension.
Pacey: Nada.
Jen: Zilch.
Pacey: Nothing, you?

Pacey: And what pray tell, are you two doing here?
Jen: Just enjoying the fine art of ball room dancing.
Penny: [Walking up] Didn't I say you two would be naturals? Much better than these two and they've been here all week. But you used to date, didn't you?
Jen: Uh...look, not right now, okay?
Penny: I'm right, aren't I? You dated, it didn't work out. But then you got past all your issues and now you actually trust each other, right? See, you can see that in the dancing. You can see, that the trust is there. Now these two on the other hand...[Points out Pacey and Joey dancing] Whole different story. I mean, look at them. Look at their..their form, look at the tension in their arms...
Pacey: Okay is there some sort of problem here?
Penny: What did I say about rib cages touching?
Joey: No, sorry.
Pacey: It's just not going to happen, alright?
Penny: Right...see what I mean? See the hostility, the way they're weary with each other, not to mention the constant bickering and name calling. Now these two clearly are in the early stages of some screwball mating ritual.
Pacey: What?
Joey: [Scoffs] Okay, you've got it all wrong, lady.
Penny: Really? I do?
Pacey: Oh, completely.
Joey: Actually, you could not be more wrong.
Penny: Okay. There's enough sexual tension here to power a KISS reunion tour. I can't remember the last time I saw dancing this bad....true...
Dawson: Wait a minute, you think that just because they can't dance that they're...?
Penny: Well, it's this theory that I've developed based on years of experience...if people dance that badly, then they're usually hot for each other...the dancing doesn't lie.

Dawson: Okay, so... Do you want to just tell me what's going on?
Pacey: It's not what you think, Dawson, not even close.
Dawson: How do you know what I think?
Pacey: Well, because man it's written all over your face, okay? Yes, me and Joey have been spending a lot of time together recently, because we've been here trying to learn how to ballroom dance and then she's teaching me a little trigonometry. You know what's much more interesting to me is that out of all the possible blond and brunette combinations, of women you and I both know, the first one that popped into your mind is Joey, now why is that, do you think?
Dawson: Pacey, you're not going to get out of this by attempting to psychoanalyze me.
Pacey: I'm just asking a simple question. I mean, Dawson, you and Joey...she's not your girlfriend anymore.
Dawson: Right, she's not.
Pacey: : Right...so then why are we having this conversation? See where I'm going with this? I mean, you're the same guy who told me a couple weeks ago that the two of you just needed to go your separate ways.
Dawson: Yeah, we do need to go our separate ways, it just never occurred to me that...
Pacey: That what? That she would actually go her separate way too...or perhaps it didn't occur to you that her separate way would include a stop over at me, is that what it is? God, man, this is the way it always is with you, you talk and talk but you don't listen to yourself. I mean, you say you're over her, but you're not. They're just words. They don't mean anything to you.
Dawson: You don't know what you're talking about.
Pacey: [Scoffs and turns and gestures over at Joey, who is dancing with an old man] Look at that girl, Dawson. Just take a good look, she's a freaking goddess, man, how long did you think it was going to be before some guy comes along and is int

Jen: You went to Joey for advice about us?
Pacey: Yeah. I know, not so smart, huh?
Jen: Smart or not smart, it's just...funny, you went to her.
Pacey: Well, I wouldn't say that I went to her. I mean, she just kind of happened to be there, we were studying.
Jen: Can I ask you something, Pacey? What is it about her?
Pacey: Huh?
Jen: She's obviously got something that makes boys and emotional turmoil just flock to her.
Pacey: Come again?
Jen: Come on, Dawson's the same way. Whatever small problem got to him he went straight to Joey.
Pacey: So who else would you have me talk to? I can't exactly go to Andie with something like this, so I guess I'm supposed to commune with deputy Doug then?
Jen: Dawson. Why couldn't you just go to Dawson?
Pacey: [Chuckles] What?
Jen: Unless, of course you now feel uncomfortable talking to him about your sex like considering...
Pacey: Considering what?
Jen: That your current girl Friday used to be his.
Pacey: [scoffs] Okay, now correct me if I'm wrong, but Dawson Leery didn't actually know about you and I till, what? Two minutes ago.
Jen: I'm not talking about us.
Pacey: What, Joey? This has nothing to do with Joey!
Jen: Pacey, I saw the way you overreacted to Dawson, I saw the way that Joey overreacted to us. I know you're having trouble in math these days, but it doesn't take Einstein to get the sum total of these two overreactions.
Pacey: You're gonna have to explain this one to me, because I've gotta be missing something here, you're talking about Joey Potter, right, the one who can't walk into the same room with me without gagging, huh? That Joey Potter. There is nothing going on between us!
Jen: No, Pacey there's noth
Pacey: Yeah. I know, not so smart, huh?

Dawson: If you could try to look welcoming, that would be great. Anxiety doesn't really fit in with this whole homey, "come stay with us" thing we're looking for.
Joey: Dawson, I do toilets, I do windows. I draw the line at faux perkiness.

Mitch: I think, if I were Joey and Bessie, I would consider myself very lucky to have you in my life.
Pacey: Why? Everything and everybody that I touch, I screw up, alright, you're aware of the Midas touch, right? You've heard of that? Okay, well the Midas touch, whatever that is, I've got the opposite.
Mitch: Don't be so sure. I mean, look at you, you're still at it, you haven't given up. Pace, instead of..dwelling on everything that's gone wrong this weekend..so far..um...think of what you've contributed. I mean you've put a lot of selfless work into this place, right? Now that's the real question. Listen, that goes to the heart of who Pacey Witter is.

Pacey: It's not too late to bail, okay? Believe me.
Joey: Why would i want to do that, Pacey?
Pacey: Because, this guy's an operator, okay? I can tell, i mean the first thing he's going to do when he comes through that door, is he's going to pay you some lame compliment about how incredible you look tonight (Looks her up and down, noticing himself how incredible she does look. Joey gives him this confused look, like he's weird.)

Pacey: So, what, you going to see this guy again?
Joey: I don't know. I mean, what's the point? I mean, he's older than me and he's..and he's smarter than me. And he lives far away, a very not insignificant problem seeing as i can't even drive yet, and...and how could i ever feel about him the way i..
Pacey: ...Feel about about Dawson.
Joey: No, i was...actually going to say felt.
Pacey: You want to know something Miss Josephine Potter? I think the world just may surprise you yet. I mean you fall in love, and it doesn't work out, you think it will never happen, but it does, believe me it does, in the strangest of places. (He looks down)

Doug: You were in a rare form tonight
Pacey: How bad do I suck, huh?
Doug: So what seems to be the problem?
Pacey: [shakes his head]) There is no problem, Dougie
Doug: Oh, come on Pacey, I found you hanging from a tree getting completely wasted, huh...so what is it a girl or something?
Pacey: What?
Doug: Okay, so it's a girl....who is she?
Pacey: You know what, Dougie, it's really not that important, okay?
Doug: Okay.
Pacey: I'll tell you something, though. She is really really annoying.
Doug: Yeah?
Pacey: Yeah, I mean this girl is amazing. There is not a single subject on the face of the planet that she doesn't have an opinion about. It's mind-boggling.
Doug: Wow, that certainly sounds like a nightmare.
Pacey: Wha-no, it's not quite like that, Doug, I mean you've got to understand...the girl's really smart so she's usually right and when she argues it comes from this really beautiful, pure place, so how can you fight against that? Especially when you're smart ass like me.
Doug: Is she pretty?
Pacey: Yeah, she is pretty. She is very very pretty. She's actually the kind of pretty that gives you butterflies, you know what I mean?
Doug: Ah, yeah...never lose the butterflies.
Pacey: What?
Doug: You maybe ask what sucks most about getting older. Somewhere along the line you just...lost the butterflies...so the question is little brother, what are you going to do about it?
Pacey: Do?
Doug: Yeah, do. As in do something. Take action.
Pacey: No, I don't think you're really properly grasping the gravity of this situation, Dougie. You see if I was to actually do something about this, there is the strong possibility that the sun would cease to shine, tha

Doug: You will keep the CD collection in alphabetical order, by last name, not first. Do you understand?
Pacey: Oh yeah, definitely. But O don't see the need for me to dip into your diva collection any time too soon.
Doug: Oh, I think you'd be surprised at how a tortured and passion female voice can sooth an Achy Breaky Heart.
Pacey: My heart is just fine, thank you very much.
Doug: Oh, sure it is little brother, sure it is.
Pacey: Look, Doug, if you're referring to our brief jail house conversation, you can just chalk it up to drunken rambling.
Doug: Well, there won't be any of that on my watch. And I won't have any moping around like a love sick puppy, either. By the way, are you any good at decoupage?
Pacey: Oh god, help me.

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 turning the delicate transitional period. Trusted friend of course he obliges and now trusted friend gets his head handed to him on a platter.

Joey: Tilting at windmills while in the throws of a misguided hero complex?
Pacey: Well yeah, that too. [They pause and smile at each other])
Joey: 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...and for being here this year...when I needed you the most.
Pacey: You're welcome. [Pauses and picks up a can of paint] So you want to help?
Joey: One condition.
Pacey: Sure, name it.
Joey: Be honest. The only reason you've been hanging out with me...is simply because Dawson told you to?
Pacey: Yep, that's the only reason.

Jen: Hey, Pacey! I think you've got that one covered. Hurricane won't take it down....you know it might make you feel better if you talk about it.
Pacey: Talk about what?
Jen: About what's bothering you.
Pacey: There's nothing bothering me.
Jen: [Laughs]' Fine
Pacey: Fine. I'm fine. [Pause] Okay, so I do kind of have a problem.
Jen: Yeah, I noticed.
Pacey: It's that obvious, huh?
Jen: Yeah, it's becoming so.
Pacey: Do you think it would be at all possible to...I don't know, pretend that it wasn't that obvious.
Jen: Well, only if we...pretend to have a conversation about it.
Pacey: You really want to make me do that? [Pause] Okay...Okay...um, lets just say for the sake of argument that I had gotten myself into an impossible situation. That I had...hypothetically speaking, fallen for or was in the process of falling for the worst possible person I could fall for. What would you tell me to do?
Jen: I guess I would tell you that...impossible situations are only made better by doing something about them.
Pacey: So I should just go and declare myself to her so that she can laugh in my face? That's a great idea.
Jen: How do you know that's how she would react?
Pacey: Well I have it on pretty good authority that my rough charms don't really register on her rarefied romantic pallet. I mean lets face it, I've got Ducky written all over me.
Jen: Ducky?
Pacey: Yeah. Ducky, Molly Ringwald's best friend from Pretty in Pink. The guy who definitely doesn't get the girl.
Jen: Yes, but he makes the girl feel good about herself. He does...he stands by her through innumerable fashion emergencies, he even humiliates himself by lip syncing in a public place and he takes her to the prom.<

Joey: You bought me a wall?
Pacey: Not bought. Rented. And this thing didn't come cheap either. It cost me a hundred bucks.
Joey: You bought me a wall?!
Pacey: You said that already. Look, it's a limited time offer, so you should get cracking.
Joey: Pacey, did you fail to notice the size of this thing?
Pacey: Well I just thought your next endeavor should be bigger and better than your last one. It's important that you keep on growing both as a person and as an artist. Now I also got you this [holds up a can of paint] and I know it's not going to cover the whole thing, but as the saying goes, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Joey: Well I'm going to need your help on this one.
Pacey: Ha, no no no no, not this time, you're on your own this time, sister. [starts to walk away]
Joey: Pacey, you're unbelievable, I mean as soon as I think I've got you all figured out, you go and you do something so...outrageous that...completely challenges me in a way that no one else would even think of that...in case I don't say it enough...thank you.

Buzz: But when they get to know you they discover that under the gruff exterior lies a vulnerable beating heart. Get real. I'm not like the kids on "Seventh Heaven" and I'm not like you, Pissy.
Pacey: Pacey.
Buzz: Whatever, Pissy.
TV Show: Dawson's Creek
Buzz: So, who's the girl?
Pacey: What girl?
Buzz: The one you named your boat after
Pacey: True Love isn't a person, it's an idea. An unattainable idea.
Buzz: Who's the unattainable girl?
Pacey: Man, you just love getting under my skin, don't you?
Buzz: Have you kissed her?
Pacey: I told you, there's no girl.
Buzz: And why don't you just kiss her?
Pacey: Why don't you just shut your mouth?
Buzz: You have no problem taking a swing at a guy, but you can't tell a girl how you feel about her. Man, your pathetic.
Pacey: What girl?
Buzz: The one you named your boat after
Pacey: True Love isn't a person, it's an idea. An unattainable idea.

Buzz: [referring to Joey] Is she a hottie?
Pacey: I'm not gonna answer that.
Buzz: C'mon, I'm nine. I got years before I even get near it. Least you can do is cough up a description.
Pacey: She's so beautiful that when you look at her your knees tremble, your heart melts, and you know, without reservation, that there is order and meaning to the universe.
Buzz: She's a hottie.
Pacey: Oh, yeah.
Pacey: I'm not gonna answer that.

Joey: I'm not meant to. Isn't that obvious by now?
Pacey: Because you're sixteen and alone? Come on.
Joey: Because I'm sixteen and in my entire life there's only been two people that have ever really known me. Dawson and-
Pacey: -- This A.J. didn't know you. I don't care how you felt about him. He didn't know you, Joey. Because if he did, he never would have walked away.
Joey: I was gonna say you, Pacey.
Pacey: Okay. [Pulls over to the side of the road]
Joey: Have you totally lost it?
Pacey: Not totally, not yet. [He and Joey get out of the car and meet at the front] Alright, what did you mean by that?
Joey: About what?
Pacey: About me knowing you better than anybody else.
Joey: Exactly what I said, Pacey. You know me, okay? In a way that nobody else besides Dawson ever has, so-
Pacey: We're not talking about Dawson right now, we're talking about me, I mean you can't keep on doing this to me, Potter!
Joey: Doing what? What, so I count on you, I tell you secrets and then suddenly-
Pacey: And you call me in the middle of the night to pick you up...why?
Joey: Well I'm sorry that I called, I thought that I-
Pacey: I'm not mad that you called me, i just want to know why you called me.
Joey: You were the first person that I thought of, Pacey.
Pacey: And what does that mean, Jo?
Joey: It means...I guess it...it means that I can talk to you and that you're there for me.
Pacey: Don't you ever get tired of talking?
Joey: No-
Pacey: Well I get tired of talking
Joey: No, I don't get tired, what I..no-
Pacey: I don't want to talk anymore
Joey: What are you trying to say, Pacey, why are we standing-
Pacey: Because you're sixteen and alone? Come on.

[Pacey is kissing Joey on the side of the road. Pacey pulls back, holding her face lightly. Joey stares at him for a second, then raises her hands and hits him on the chest, pushing him backward]
Joey: Are you insane! How could you do that? How could you take some...simple declaration of friendship as an invitation to just maul me, Pacey! [Pushes him back again] Answer me! How-what were you thinking! [Hits him back once more] What!
Pacey: What, I don't know, god it-it-it-it was an impulse.
Joey: [Hits him backward again] An impulse!
Pacey: Yes! An impulse, uh, you know sudden, momentary and believe me, fleeting.
Joey: Do you have any idea the monumental implications of that meaningless little impulse! The ripple effect that it could create on our small, but fragile universe! You can't...
Pacey: You're right, Potter, forgive me for thinking a kiss is just a kiss.
Joey: Well, it's true...a kiss is not just a kiss! Not between you and me and you know why!....Dawson! Remember? I mean, he factors into this little...hormonal meltdown!
Pacey: Meltdown?
Joey: Yeah!
Pacey: I just had a meltdown? Forgive me if I don't think this is the worst tragedy in the history of human kind, that Pacey Witter in a moment of...impulsive, compulsive, hormone induced insanity would have the nerve to kiss Joey Potter! And you let me do it, you did, you let me do it! So what? Now I guess the world starts unravel, well excuse me while I get in the car! [He walks past her toward the car. Joey scoffs and starts walking the other way. Pacey notices she isn't following and turns around, seeing her walk away] Would you get in the car, Potter!
Joey: No! [Pacey, frustrated, put his hand on his head and gets in the car. He starts and drives it until he catches up with her]

Joey: Hey.
Buzz: Hey.
Pacey: Just a second...[to Buzz] Listen, if you'll give us two minutes, I'll give you ten sodas and a box of sugar, what do you say?
Buzz: Done!
Pacey: There you go [Gives him money. Buzz runs off] Hey...
Joey: Hey again.
[Both speak at the same time]
Pacey: So I just want to say-
Joey: About the other night-
[They stop and smile]
Joey: You go first.
Pacey: Well, uh...I just...I wanted to...I just wanted to say that, uh...I'm sorry. I mean all that stuff about disaster and Dawson and the ripple effect in our universe, it-it was all right, I mean, what I did, that was just monumentally stupid, I don't know what I was thinking, so...I just wanted you to know that it was an impulse, plain and simple, one that has left my body permanently...promise.
Joey: That's okay, Pacey, I mean...I totally overreacted, I mean something isn't a big deal unless you let it be and..and it...you know it's not a big deal...why get so upset? I mean it-it obviously meant nothing...right?
Pacey: Right...right because what I did was a mistake
Joey: Right.
Pacey: Right, well um, I guess that puts us back to just being friends [He holds out his hand, and fakes a smile]
Joey: [Takes his hand] Definitely. [She fakes a smile too]
Pacey: Great. [pause] Uh, alright, well, uh...yeah, I should probably get going, once that kid gets all that sugar in him...watch out, he's a little terror, you know, probably have to chase him back home, it's two miles, not pretty.
Joey: Well then I...I guess I'll see you later, Pacey.

Pacey: Well... it's the history, it's killing me. How can I guy compete when the two of you have your own karaoke routine?
Joey: Pacey, you're not supposed to compete. We're supposed to have our own hist -- I didn't mean that.
Pacey: Well, what did you mean?
Joey: I don't even know anymore, Pacey
Pacey: Well, you know this little arrangement we've got going between us?
Joey: Yes.
Pacey: Well it sucks! It sucks up one side and down the other. It's weird, it's uncomfortable and I hate every single second of it.
Joey: Really?
Pacey: Yes
Joey: Then why did you come here, Pacey?
Pacey: You know, for a bright girl, you can be really daft sometimes. Why did you think I came here? I came here to be with you! It's as simple as that. When you like somebody, proximity is a good thing, regardless of how they feel about you... or don't. As the case may be.
Joey: Look, I felt it.
Pacey: What?
Joey: This morning...your arm brushed up against me in bed and...and I felt it.
Pacey: How did it feel?
Joey: [Smiles] Made me feel alive. [long pause]
Pacey: OK. Joey, I'm going to kiss you now.
Joey: You can't.
Pacey: Look Jo, you can't say something like that to me and expect me not to kiss you. So that's exactly what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna kiss you in about ten seconds and if you don't want me to kiss you... well, if you don't want me to, then I guess you're just gonna have to stop me... Ten. [He takes her face in his hands and kisses her]

Pacey: You don't have to worry, I'm not going to kiss you again, Joey. [Long pause] What's going on here?
Joey: [shakes her head] I don't know.
Pacey: Don't you think I deserve a better answer than that after all this?
Joey: Pacey, believe me, I've been trying to get you out of my head. I've tried to pretend that this is just some bizarre hormonal glitch, but it's not working.
Pacey: Do you really want it to work?
Joey: I tried to tell him.
Pacey: Really?
Joey: Yes!
Pacey: What happened?
Joey: Well...I couldn't really find the words, Pacey, which I know is odd, considering the sheer volume of words spoken throughout the course of our relationship, but this-
Pacey: Well, what would you have said to him?
Joey: I don't know...
Pacey: I don't believe you.
Joey: [Stands up] Pacey, I don't have any answers right now, okay, can't you understand that?
Pacey: The only reason that you don't have answers is because you've been too scared to ask yourself the right questions.
Joey: What are you talking about?
Pacey: Look, I know how I feel! You know how I feel! That much is obvious by now, but during this whole process we've managed to miss the point, because the point is not how I feel, it's how you feel...so how do you feel?
Joey: Awful! That's how I feel, Pacey, I feel awful!
Pacey: So do I. When I was kissing you tonight, I don't think that I've ever felt better and worse at one time in my entire life. I mean, the very idea that Dawson or Andie would find out about us is killing me...it-it is tearing me up on the inside to have these feelings for you, but I can't get rid of them! I just

Pacey: I own a boat? [They kiss]
Joey: No, we have to stop doing this, it's wrong.
Pacey: Yes, deadly [He kisses her neck]
Joey: Pacey...look, we've been in denial all weak (They intertwine their fingers together) I mean, when we're around other people we act as if nothing's changed, but the minute we're alone, it turns into this (She kisses him)
Pacey: This what?
Joey: Well this...embarrassing gropefest.
Pacey: Yeah, I guess this is kind of embarrassing, huh? Especially for you, given how much you protested. [He kisses her]
Joey: I did not protest.
Pacey: You did too. [They kiss again] Wait...[Pulls back from the kiss] Wait wait wait...
Joey: What?
Pacey: We gotta tell him, Jo, we do, we gotta tell him as soon as possible, because the longer we wait, Jo, the worse it gets
Joey: I know, Pacey. I've tried, I've tried plenty of times.
Pacey: Every time I see the guy now, I just feel like...
Joey: Look, you don't have to bother filling in the expletive, okay? I mean, this isn't exactly the easiest thing i've ever had to do, Pacey. Telling Dawson that while he wasn't looking I developed this bizarre, gravitational pull towards his best friend and I can't stop thinking about him or wanting to be near him or wanting to kiss him all the time. [she grabs his face and kisses him. They kiss for a moment and then pull back]
