THIS WEEK ON "DAWSON'S CREEK" - REPEAT -- #109 "The Scare"
WEDNESDAY, November 3rd at 8:00pm (ET/PT) on The WB. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dawson orchestrates a few schemes carefully designed
to scare the tar out of his friends, and a timely news story
about an at-large serial killer only increases the fright factor. 
Dawson plans to conclude the ominous day with a spooky,
adrenaline-laced seance.  And, Pacey invites a sexy and
unbalanced stranger, whose crazed boyfriend threatens to
deliver real danger to Dawson's door.  All converge on at
the Leery house for some heart-pounding fun, but when the
power goes out, the phone lines are cut and loud noises cannot
be explained, all look to Dawson for reassurance, only to realize
that the terror at hand may not be Dawson's doing.


THIS WEEK ON DAWSON'S DESKTOP -- Back to Business
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A forwarded list of semi-local film festivals inspires Dawson to start
thinking again about his filmmaking and what kind of project he should
do next.  Meanwhile, with Eve out of the picture, Dawson shifts focus
back to his friends... but have Dawson's distractions kept him clueless
about Joey's life?

"DAWSON'S CREEK" TRIVIA - Test Your Knowledge
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The real reason JEN WAS SENT TO CAPESIDE was that her parents caught her
having sex in their bed.  Although she had "misbehaved" before, this was
the last straw.  At first, Jen told everyone in Capeside that she had come
to help take care of Gramps.  Later, Dawson found out the truth.

Congrats to AMills who was the winner.  Eva, Amber, Annie, BaybeNSync,
Yosmary, Alex, Nani, Simone, Emily, and Allison were among the first of
MANY correct guesses.  Good job everyone!

In Season One, Dawson was the Production Assistant on Cliff Elliot and
Nellie Olson's film...  Can you remember the TITLE OF THE FILM?

Send your guesses to the dcnewsletter@sonypictures.com
Check back next week for the answer.

MUSIC PICKS OF THE WEEK -- More Info. on your Favorite Songs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In honor of the Season One repeat...  THEME SONG:  "I Don't Want To Wait"
performed by Paula Cole is available her album "The Fire" and on the
"Dawson's Creek Soundtrack."

Lyrics -- So open up your morning light/ And say a little prayer for I/ You
know that if we are to stay alive/ Then see the peace in every eye/ She had two
babies/ One was six months, one was three/ In the war of '44/ Every telephone ring,
every heartbeat stinging/ When she thought it was God calling her/Oh would her son
grow to know his father?/ I don't want to wait for our lives to be over/I want to
know right now/ what will it be/ I don't want to wait for our lives to be over/
Will it be yes or will it be sorry?/ He showed up all wet on the rainy front step/
Wearing shrapnel in his skin/And the war he saw lives inside him still/ It's so hard
to be gentle and warm/The years pass by and now he has granddaughters/ (Chorus)/ You
look at me from across the room/ You're wearing your anguish again/ Believe me I know
the feeling/ It sucks you into the jaws of anger/ So breathe a little more deeply my
love/All we have is this very moment/And I don't want to do what his father, and his
father, and his father did/I want to be here now/ So open up your morning light/And say
a little prayer for I/You know that if we are to stay alive/ Then see the love in every
eye.

SEASON ONE INTERNATIONAL THEME SONG:  "Run Like Mad" (formerly known as "Elsewhere")
performed by Jann Arden is currently not available in a full version on any
album.

Lyrics -- "My heart is in my hands/ My head is in the clouds/ My feet have
left the ground/ My life is turning around and round/ And every voice inside
my head is telling me to run like mad/ Oh bows and arrows stars and
sunsets/Every heartbeat, every kiss/ Just makes me wonder/ what all this
is/Suits of armor/Hearts and arrows/ Hey hey hey ye-eah!

#100:  "I'll Stand By You" by The Pretenders is on the CD "The Last of the
Independents."  Heard in the last scene...  Joey runs away from Dawson's
window, wondering if their relationship can ever go back to the way it was.

Lyrics --  Oh, why you look so sad?/ Tears are in your eyes/ Come on and come
to me now/ Don't be ashamed to cry/ Let me see you through/ 'Cause I've seen the
dark side too/ When the night falls on you/ You don't know what to do/Nothing you
confess/ Could make me love you less/ I'll stand by you/I'll stand by you/ Won't let
nobody hurt you/ I'll stand by you.../ So if you're mad, get mad/ Don't hold it all
inside/ Come on and talk to me now/ Hey, what you got to hide?/I get angry
too/ Well, I'm a lot like you/ When you're standing at the crossroads/And don't know
which path to choose/Let me come along/ 'Cause even if you're wrong/ I'll stand by
you/ I'll stand by you/ Won't let nobody hurt you/ I'll stand by you/ Take me out into
your darkest hour/ And I'll never desert you/ I'll stand by you/And when... when the
night falls on you, Baby/ You're feeling all alone/You won't be on your own/ I'll
stand by you...

#111: In the Miss Windjammer Contest, Katie Holmes performs "On My Own"
from Les Miserables.  A different recording can be found on the Les
Miserables soundtrack (at this time, there is no recording for sale of Katie
singing).

LYRICS:  On my own pretending he's beside me/ All alone I walk with him till
morning/ Without him I feel his arms around me/ And when I lose my way I
close my eyes and he has found me/ In the rain the pavement shines like silver/ All
the lights are misty in the river/ In the darkness, the trees are full of
starlight/And all I see is him and me forever and forever/ And I know it's only
in my mind/That I'm talking to myself and not to him/  And although I know that he
is blind/Still I say, there's a way for us/ I love him! But when the night is over/
He is gone, the river's just a river/ Without him the world around me changes/ The
trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers/I love him! But every
day I'm learning/ All my life I've only been pretending/ Without me his world would go
on turning/ A world that's full of happiness that I have never known.../
I love him...I love him... I love him/ But only on my own

LINES TO REMEMBER:  Season 1 --  Dawson & Joey's Relationship
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#100 -- JOEY:  (to Dawson)  I just think our emerging hormones are
destined to alter our relationship and I'm trying to limit the fallout.

#103 -- JOEY:  (to Jen)  Well, let me tell you about Dawson.  Granted he's articulate
for his age, but he's not exactly mature.  He's a classic only child.  He pouts if
something doesn't go his way.  And sees things only in black-and-white... anything
else confuses him.  And when it comes to women, there have been popes who've
had more experience.  I mean, the guy was a shrimp up until last summer.  To say
his sex life is limited is the understatement of the decade.  It's barren.  A desert. 
I don't envy what you have to deal with, believe me...

JEN:   So what would you do?

JOEY:  The same as you.  I'd get hurt... I'd get mad... I'd get confused. 
I'd ask people for advice.  Maybe the wrong people.  And then I'd wait... For
him to come around. 

JEN:  And how long does that take?

JOEY:  Oh, don't go by me.  I'd probably be stupid enough to wait forever.

#106 -- JOEY:  I have all these feelings -- these weird feelings -- and I've
had this burning desire to express them.  But I can't.  I just can't.  And these
feelings -- they're trapped -- they're like stuck in my heart... And I just feel
so lonely.

DAWSON:   Joey.  You're not alone.  I was here for you in sixth grade and I'm
here for you now.  Nothing you could say will change that.  You can tell me
anything --anything... Maybe if you talk about these feelings that you have
-- maybe they won't be so strong anymore -- maybe you'll feel free, you know?

JOEY:   I can't.  I'm afraid.  'Cause if I say it, I can never take it back.

#110 -- JOEY (to Dawson about Jen):   Well, for the rest of the semester
you'll be known as the guy Jen dropped.  Most girls will view you as tainted
goods...

DAWSON:   ...I don't know.  I mean, I want to be her friend.  But then again,
I don't.  You know?  I mean, how can you simply be friends with someone when
every time you look at them, you're thinking about how much more you really want?

JOEY:   Well, I'm no expert, but I think it can be done, Dawson.

PACEY:   The time has come to ask yourself some serious questions, Dawson. 
Because it seems to me you're exhausting an awful lot of energy over a girl
you call your friend.  So let's settle it once and for all.  Who is it, Dawson? 
Who's the one you really want?  Is it Jen or is it Joey?  The blonde or the
brunette? Because these questions aren't going away, Dawson.  And I think it's
time for you to start providing some answers.

#111 -- JOEY:   I thought that this is what I wanted.  For you to see me as
beautiful.  For you to look at me the way you look at Jen.  But the truth is,
that's not really what I want at all.  I want you to look at me and see the
person that you've always known and realize that what we've had is so much
more incredible than just some passing physical attraction.  'Cause you know
what Dawson?  It's just make-up -- and hairspray -- and tomorrow I'll be back
to being Joey.  Just Joey. The too tall girl that lives on the wrong side of
the creek.
 
DAWSON:  Joey, give me a minute here.  This is -- this is all new to us and
we should talk about this because, I mean, we can't just go back to things the
way they were.  I mean this is out there now -- forever, and, it's huge -- and
whatever happened here, we can't take it back -- ever. I mean, we have to
face this and even though I don't quite know how --

JOEY:  -- you've had a lifetime to process your feelings for me, Dawson.  I
can't spend the rest of mine hoping you might throw a glance in my general
direction between your tortured teen romances with whatever Jen Lindley rolls
into your life next.

#112 -- JOEY:  (to her father)  Do you really love me?  Because I'm fifteen
years old, Dad.  And I don't feel loved. I go through each day and I don't think
anybody loves me. And I know it's pathetic but it's the way I feel and I'm too young
to feel this way.

MR. POTTER:  It couldn't be farther from the truth, Joey.  And I'm not the
only one... Dawson Leery.  He loves you, Joey....  He looks at you the way
your mother used to look at me.  And you love him...  You have to tell him. 
Don't make my mistake, Joey. Don't wait for someone you love to get eaten up
with cancer and waste away while you hold back the one thing they're waiting to hear.

JOEY:  I'm so tired of this, Dawson. I'm tired of the way we relate to one
another. We spend all our time analyzing every detail of our sad little
adolescent lives.

DAWSON:  I'll admit we know too many big words, but it's a good thing to
analyze.

JOEY:  But it doesn't get us anywhere. It doesn't move us forward.  We're in
the same place we were three months ago.  It's time to grow up, Dawson.

DAWSON:  I know. But we can...we are growing up...

JOEY:  No, we're not. Everyday's the same. We watch a movie -- preferably a
Spielberg film -- find the appropriate life correlation and then pat
ourselves on the back for being so clever. And while our perception is usually
dead on, our honesty is seriously lacking... I don't wanna dance around big words
anymore, Dawson.  I want to be honest.

DAWSON:  Me, too. More than anything -- I want to be honest with you, Joey.

JOEY:  And you think we're ready for honesty?

DAWSON:  Yeah. I do.

SHOWBIZ SCOOP:  Fallen Angel Bites the Dust
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello Dawsonites! Showbiz Scoop's ace-Glam reporter
Bibi St. Bijou checking in with more dish from the Hills.

The Other Dave Matthews Debuts:
So you think you know Dave Matthews? Former Virginia
bartender, soulful singer and DAVE MATTHEWS BAND frontman.
Now meet Dave Matthews, big-screen actor and son of a South African
Anti-apartheid activist. Turns out the two Dave's -- actor
and musician -- are one and the same, as guitar-player Dave
makes his feature film debut in an independent remake of
1974's, WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS.

After scoring multi-platinum big with the discs, CRASH and
UNDER THE TABLE AND DREAMING, he'll play the father of Billy
Coleman (Joseph Ashton) in RED FERN, based on the popular
Wilson Rawls children's' book, now shooting in Tahlequah,
Oklahoma. Acting veterans Dabney Coleman and Ned Beatty are
also slated to star. You know what they say, singers can cross
over as actors but actors who sing... well that's a different
ear-piercing story.
