QUOTES:

• Uh! You guys are a bunch of cynics, you know that? I mean, what kind high school memories are you gonna have if all you ever did was bitch and moan?
• What's the big deal? She gets here, you ask her if she wants a glass of water and you mention you like boys.
• If that doesn’t work, you can always join me in the nunnery this summer.
• Somehow I thought if I aced the test, then everybody would think I was all right again... It would convince them somehow. But now that I am all right, I can't seem to live with myself
• Principal Green... I made a mistake. A terrible error in judgment, really. I know that there is no excuse for what I did, so I wont waste your time. But there is an explanation -- one I can only pray that you might find it in your heart to understand. You see, there's this guy... When I met him, it was like... a shade going up in a dark room, the light suddenly pouring in. He understood things about me, things no one else ever did, ever could. And then... just as suddenly, the room went dark again. In my mind, I mean. You see, over the summer, I was treated at a psychiatric hospital. I didn't have to stay long. I got better. But 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. That's why I stole the test. That's why I cheated.
• You 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. Pacey used to give me that look. Right before he’d kiss me. Made my knees weak.
• For the last six months, I've gone around feeling like the biggest hypocrite. Don't you see, I was extra hard on people as a way of punishing myself. And now it's time to make amends, Jack. No matter what the consequences.
• Somehow I thought if I aced the test, then everybody would think I was all right again... It would convince them somehow. But now that I am all right, I can't seem to live with myself.
• Luck has nothing to do with it. Some older women happen to like younger men.
• Why you would be interested in someone who's so mentally deficient?
• I'm a friend of Pacey Witter's…well kinda…

• God, Pacey, how could you be so stupid? You’re gonna get hurt, okay? You’re going to get totally, horribly, completely hurt. Don’t you see? Joey’s never gonna love you the way she loves Dawson. He’s her first love, Pacey. Her first love.

• I slept with another boy. Six months ago! Even then, I knew it was wrong. I tried to explain that to you. How many times do I have to say it?
• Disappointed that none of my Pacey academic improvement schemes quite took? No, I'm not disappointed. Girls have all these idiotic, misguided notions about boys. We always think we can spruce them up, turn them into something they're not.
• Yeah, you were sorta priced to sell, weren't you? The thing is, Pacey. I was wrong. There's nothing about you that needs to be fixed. There never was, and there never will be. You're perfect. As is.
• Perhaps you should try barking up a different tree.
• I molded you into this person who I thought you should be. I did it to my father, too. I thought it was what I needed. I place this unfair burden on people just so they can save me from myself. But I don't need a knight in shining armor. I need a partner. Someone who I am proud to love, who is proud to love me back, in spite of all my flaws. And you're it. You're the one. I'm so sorry, Pacey.
• Thought I knew exactly how to start. Rehearsed it and everything. But now that you’re here and waiting and... staring at me... It shouldn't have taken a scheme to get you all here tonight. When my Dad made me the offer to take the rest of the year off, I sat down with a trusty number two and made a list of pros and cons. The pros were obvious, a chance to live in Europe. To get lost for an afternoon in a book that wasn't assigned or down a cobbled street that wasn’t on any map. The opportunity of a lifetime, right? But then came those nasty cons. And you know what got top billing? You. The biggest negative was leaving my friends. The ones who supported, consoled and understood unconditionally. But look at us now, we’re a mess. Let's talk about why... starting with last week's fiasco. Enough with the blame Jen game. If I don't, you shouldn't. Yes, she had it, but I took it. I got your pity and Jen got your wrath and that’s wrong because it was my fault. Don't you remember when we used to look for not run from each other? When we faced problems together -- we weren't the problem? What happened? Pacey... Joey... and Dawson. You guys are so lucky. Do you have any idea how rare it is to have friends who you've known for your whole life? I mean, you have a list of remember when’s that date back to the cradle. Please don’t underestimate that. There are still memories to create and that’s precious. 'Cause in the end you always turn back to who was there at the beginning. And at the beginning there were the three of you. And you two. This... it's inexcusable. One of the things that was keeping me here was the thought that if I left, Jack wouldn’t have a sister around. But then I realized, he would. It’s you. Maybe my leaving... maybe it will remind you that in six months, you all will be, too. Time's ticking. Your lives in Capeside are almost over, do you really want them to end this way? Because the only ones who can decide that are sitting at this table. When I first met you... I didn't know much about friendship... or love. Each of you taught me a lot about both. And maybe by leaving... I can return the favor. Because the thought of it ending like this... like... the way things are right now... it isn't... it’s not how I want to remember us. Do you?
• God, I don't know, Pacey, because you're funny and you're kind and you don't judge people. You make me feel good about myself.
