Every good thing that's happened in my life I've essentially managed to talk out of existence. I'm not gonna do that this time
- Dawson's CreekJoey: -- I said I don't care about that stuff!
Pacey: I want you to care, Joey. I don't want you to just accept it. Because right now, we're not just trapped on a boat, we're trapped in this relationship, and I can't take it anymore. Being with you makes me feel like I'm nothing. I don't do it to myself. You do it to me every day and you don’t even see it. That's why I flinch when you get near me. That's why I can't bring myself to touch you, why the last thing I want is to touch you...
Joey: Are you done?
Pacey: I can keep going if you want.
Joey: No Pacey, you can stop. And then, you can just go to hell.
But you're not aware of his evil alter ego. You're in love
- Dawson's CreekJust shut up, ok? You are getting off easy here and you know it. I'm not gonna let you put up some false protest so that you can feel better about yourself. I am ending it now. That's how I know that it's over. You didn't say a word, Pacey, not a word. 'Cause you don't have the energy to fight it and... I deserve better than that.
- Dawson's CreekDo you know how much will happen to you in the next two years if you do them right? Your heart will swell and break a hundred times. what you need right now is someone who not only understands what you're going through, but who can also go through it with you.
- Dawson's CreekThere are people in my life who give me comfort. When the going gets tough, as it invariably does, I can count on them for a shoulder to cry on - they will lift me up when I fall, they will hold me in their arms as I cry and tell me, "Everything’s going to be okay." I am so thankful for those people. They are priceless
- Dawson's CreekShe has a hard time trusting people. men especially, and who can blame her?
- Dawson's CreekJoey: You know, you're really annoying. 'Cause every time I’m ready to do the smart, sensible thing, you go and you say something that makes me...
Wilder: Makes you what?
Joey: Not want to go away
These opportunities that keep presenting themselves, they're presenting themselves to you, not to me. Not to anybody else. And all you have to do is just seize them. Stop wasting your time wishing that you were somebody else. And just grab hold of what have coming to you. Because you never know when it's gonna come your way again.
- Dawson's Creekyou know, i don't think i'll ever be happy. wherever i am, i'll always wish i'm someplace else. whatever i have, i'll always want something different.
- Dawson's CreekYou’re not here and I know that I said that it’s okay that you didn’t come this weekend but you know what? It’s not okay because I miss you. And there was this guy tonight and he was hitting on me or at least I think he was hitting on me. And he was perfectly nice and I blew him off and I’m not even sure why. But I’m pretty sure it was because of you. And… I’ve spent these past couple months acting like you were just going to show up outside my door one day, but you’re not. You are out there following your dreams which is what I want for you, Dawson, I think it’s time that I let you go. And it’s really hard for me to do because I know that there’s a part of me that will be in love with you for the rest of my life. But this whole running in place and day dreaming is just not healthy for either of us. So this is me cutting the cord, this is me doing what I should have done three months ago. Say goodbye.
- Dawson's CreekI guess when it comes down to it; I can't walk through that door
- Dawson's CreekDid it ever occur to you that you're so caught up in trying to make the right choice that you've never stopped to consider the possibility that there may not be a right choice, or a wrong choice, just a bunch of choices?
- Dawson's CreekIt seems stupid now, but at the time, I wanted to tell you that I loved you.
- Dawson's Creekas you know, I’m not good at goodbyes but i guess that's what this is, a real one this time, because as much as i thought i wanted us to be together, i guess what i want more is to be one of those people who lives every moment of his life without indecision and without regrets, someone who dares to disturb the universe without a thought to the consequences, and you’re not one of those people, at least not yet, maybe you'll prove me wrong about that one day, i hope you do, but who knows? maybe people can't change, maybe we’re doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again no matter how hard we try. i always hope for a happy ending, how crazy is that? take care of yourself.
- Dawson's Creekloving someone’s gonna hurt, and the sooner you let yourself feel that, the sooner you'll be able to love again
- Dawson's CreekYou have to decide how you want to live your life. What you can tolerate. What you're willing to lose
- Dawson's CreekIt always comes back to this same girl, the story of my life, Joey Potter. You grow up, and it gets harder to believe in things like soul mates and destiny and magic, things that came so easily when I was younger. I guess it's really hard to hold on to your blind faith after your father gets hit by a truck. Sorry, the point is... as hard as it is, I haven't given up, and maybe thats what I wanted to ask you, if it's okay, after everything that's happened, if its still okay for me to believe something perfect is possible, I really want to believe it, I want to be with her, I love her, dad, okay? We'll talk about this again later, don't go anywhere.
- Dawson's CreekHave you ever had a day that you wish you could permanently eradicate from your memory? You know, one of those unbelievably bad experiences you keep hoping is a bad dream that you're going to wake up from any blissful second?
- Dawson's CreekThat's the point. You don't need help. There's nothing to figure out here. There's only what you feel
- Dawson's CreekYou walk in that house and it's not just goodnight... it's good-bye
- Dawson's CreekYou know, I’ve been thinking about what you guys were saying earlier, about boys being twits. And I think you’re right... but there’s more to it than that. ‘Cause, you know... sometimes all they have to do is just look at you, with that certain look, that look that says that you are exactly where they want to be... and you feel it too, for them... and you just melt. Like a big blob of ice cream. Even when you don’t want to
- Dawson's CreekI'll be sleeping eighty feet away from you, and it'll feel like a thousand miles. I'll regret my decision constantly, I'll kick myself to no end.
- Dawson's Creekwhen i was afraid of everything, i was never afraid to love you
- Dawson's CreekAnd, you know, maybe I'm just asking for it right now, but I would rather that you say whatever it is you're thinking, than continue to look at me the way you are right now.
