Joey: Do you remember reading those choose your own adventure books as a kid?
Pacey: Well...[Chuckles]... You and I both know that I was pretty much a functional illiterate until the ninth grade.
Joey: Right. Ok. Well... I did, but... I cheated on them. Whenever a chapter wasn't going the way I wanted, I wouldn't even finish. I would just go back to the beginning until...I got a happy ending.
Pacey: Yeah. Everybody does that.
Joey: Yeah, but it's not exactly the most realistic way to live your life.
Pacey: But--wait, what makes you think that one false move is gonna ruin our entire story?
Joey: History.
Pacey: Yes. That was then. Joey...I'm serious. We're older now. I mean, it's not like I'm just gonna run out the door if I don't like your choice.
Joey: Ok. Well, so... what are you afraid of?
Pacey: 'Cause that--the whole... possibility thing is really just a mean trick.
