You want him. You want him like I want you. You love him like I love you. Only the difference is he loves you back the same way
- Dawson's Creekas complicated as our friendship was, it doesn't even compare to how complicated whatever you and I have here is bound to be. And never in my life has taking the easy way out seemed like exactly what I need to do
- Dawson's CreekBut when I came home, I'd lost the guy. My soul-mate. It was like having an organ, my heart, literally ripped from my body. All I could feel was cold and empty... my future, slipping away... You see, I lost my love -- but I was determined not to lose my life
- Dawson's CreekMaybe she fell in love with him or maybe she just wanted someone to pay attention to her
- Dawson's CreekFriends give you the worst of news with the best of intentions.
- Dawson's CreekAnd the reason I came here tonight is because we need to move on. Look, we're not kids anymore. And I'm not gonna do this anymore. And I just thought you should know
- Dawson's CreekSee, the kiss is just the end result. It's not what's important. It's all about desire and -- and wanting
- Dawson's CreekJoey: So what's the problem?
Andie: He's... He's not Pacey. Pathetic. I know. I know. And I thought I was over him. I really, really did. But then I bumped into him a little while ago, and...I mean, technically we're friends, right? And that's how I played it. But then it's, like, when I saw him, every irritating/adorable thing he ever did flashed before my eyes, and... I mean, that's the true test, right? When you just bump into somebody... And if you're not over him, then boom--floodgates.
Pacey: You know, for a bright girl, you can be really daft sometimes. Why do you think i came here? I came here to be with you! It's as simple as that. I mean, 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: But 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: Made me feel alive.
Pacey: Ok. Joey... I'm going to kiss you now.
Joey: You can't.
Pacey: 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 10 seconds. And if you don't want me to kiss you... Well, if you don't want me to, I guess then you're just gonna have to stop me. 10.
Well, it's just something that I've been thinking about, and I wanted you to know that I was thinking about it. You know, I was just gonna... keep my mouth shut and let you go... but...[Sighs]... It's not me. That's some merchant ivory movie, you know, where people suffer in silence, and you're supposed to be so impressed by their restraint. Well... you know... sorry, but screw that. My best friend in the whole world is leaving tomorrow, and a big part of me wants him to stay... so I hope you don't hate me.
- Dawson's CreekJoey: You were wanting to kiss me all night?
Pacey: Yes.
Joey: Even when you were yelling at me.
Pacey: Especially when I was yelling at you.
Joey: So... is this... some sort of... recent new development in your life?
Pacey: Wanting to kiss you? No. It's sort of always there... like...white noise, or... the secret service or the threat of nuclear war, for that matter. Just somethin' you get used to.
What you think you're leaving behind here, it's just going to be that much bigger when you return.
- Dawson's Creekunderstand that friends come and go, but a precious few you should hold on.. the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young
- Dawson's Creekall the really exciting things in life require more courage than we currently have. A deep breath and a leap. see joey, the kind of fear youre talking about, sometimes its how you know whats worthwhile
- Dawson's Creeki wasnt fighting with you, i was fighting with myself, because part of me wanted to send you running away and part of me just wanted to hold you tight
- Dawson's CreekEvery time I'm supposed to come see him I trick myself into thinking that it's gonna be different this time. But it never is. It's always just different shades of the same.
- Dawson's CreekThis is one of those rare milestone events that separates the first half of your life from everything that follows.
- Dawson's CreekWell, he's playing a little hard to get, which is somewhat disconcerting, but no worries. He'll be mine
- Dawson's CreekQuick and easy answer would be that I was really, really busy and there just wasn't any time. Which is true, but... it's not really it, because I thought about you all the time, and about what you said about how everything would just kind of work itself out between us and it just... made me feel so good about us. I just...well, I guess I didn't want to ruin that feeling. Does that make any sense?
- Dawson's CreekThis is about how you carried my bag off the bus yesterday. This is about how... When we go to the movies and you go and you buy a popcorn you always make sure you bring back a napkin so I don't wipe all the grease on my jeans. And this is about how just last week when we were at miniature golf you took all of the shots first so I would know the correct path. you taught me how to drive. And last year at prom... You knew that the bracelet I was wearing was my mom's. You kissed me first, sweetheart. The second time... [She removes his shirt] You counted to 10 before doing it again just in case I wanted to stop you. You bought me a wall. we were alone on a boat for 3 months and you understood without a word why I wasn't ready. Do you have to ask me now why I am? Pace. I'm gonna count to 10... And then I’m going to start kissing you. If you don't want me to... then you're just gonna have to stop me. ..10, my love.
- Dawson's CreekMaybe I was trying too hard, but I didn't want to miss my chance to dance with you, to hold you, to make you remember what it's like between us. I thought if only I could make tonight perfect…
- Dawson's CreekI called because I wanted you to know that despite everything that's happened and all the miles between us right now, I still think about the way it was in the beginning
- Dawson's CreekAnd it sucks because I know he's out there falling in and out of love with girls...that aren't me
- Dawson's CreekAt a certain point, the whole thing just becomes too much to process, and your brain gets taken out of the loop, and all you have to rely on is your heart, your natural human instincts. It's liberating... not at first of course, at first it's terrifying, like falling... but that's the point, isn't it?
- Dawson's Creekwell guess what? it is, so sucks for you, huh? or maybe it doesn't. maybe you’re gonna get off easy after all, its only my heart that's gonna get even the slightest bit broken.
