Transcript Page 1(Exterior shot of Dawson Leery's house. ] His voice is heard but he is not yet seen)Dawson: Boring. Nah. ( He is shown laying on his bed flipping through the channels on his television. He turns the show Wheel of Fortune on) Dawson: Wouldn't watch it if you paid me. (He flips through a bunch of other shows) Dawson: rerun, homeshopping, Spanish, Japanese, Lebanese? ( Dawson turns the channel to a show that is scrambled) Dawson: Adult Movie Channel scrambled (Dawson sits up in his bed and tilts his head to watch the show for a few seconds before changing the channel to the movie Meet John Doe) Dawson: No. American Movie Classics it is. (He hears a noise coming from his window, looks over and sees Joey Potter entering) Dawson: Hey Jo. Joey: Hey. Remember that guy who went on the killing spree and was found innocent after claiming sleep deprivation? (Joey sits down on the window seat directly under the window) Dawson: Yeah, he went postal. Took out like half of that fast food restaurant. Joey: Well, I think I need to call his lawyer. Dawson: (laughing) Let me guess, Bessie and Bodie's new addition's appointed for the night? Joey: I swear to God, Dawson, my sister gave birth to Rosemary's baby. I mean, i haven't slept for days and my G.P.A. is taking a nosedive and ummm, last week I got caught in a pool of drool in European History. Dawson: Ewww, that's pretty (Dawson motions towards the empty side of his bed) Dawson: Ah, crash here. Joey: You sure? Dawson: Yeah. No drooling now! (Joey gets up from the window seat, walks over to the bed, stands and glances at what's on the television) Joey: Dawson, are you still in this old movie classics kick? Don't you think it's time you take a stroll down New Releases Lane? (Joey sits on the bed) Dawson: I've seen everything in the video store twice. Trust me, there's nothing on the tube. Joey: Dawson, your goober's kind of a snoozer. ( Joey lays down on the bed and gets comfortable) Dawson: Exactly ( Dawson sits up in his bed with his hand on his knee) Dawson: See, in the 40's, you could be a well-intentional geek and still end up with the girl. I mean, whatever happened to the standard Gary Cooper types, you know. Likeable but not too self involved, smart without being arrogant. I mean, come on, what happened to that guy? (Dawson looks over and sees Joey fast asleep) Dawson: That's what I thought (Dawson lays back down and continues watching the movie) Theme to Dawson's Creek (Exterior shot of Dawson's house the next morning. Gail and Mitch are in the kitchen preparing their breakfasts) Gail: So, big meeting with the investors this morning? (Gail pours herself a glass of orange juice) Mitch: Uh huh (pauses) You're interviewing the police commissioner right? Gail: At ten. (pauses) You look great. Mitch: (looking over at her) So do you. Gail: Thanks Mitch: You are welcome. (They bump into each other when their paths cross on the way to the breakfast table) Gail: Sorry Mitch: It's okay. Gail: Dr. Keenan's at three? Mitch: Right. Gail: He says we're making progress Mitch: Yep, he does. (Mitch picks up his cup of coffee to take a sip but notices Dawson coming out of his bedroom) Mitch: Dawson. Gail: Ah, Dawson, honey, have some breakfast. Mitch: Take a load off. Dawson: Actually I can't. I'm running a little late this morning. Mitch: How's school going? Dawson: Fine, great. I gotta go. (Dawson leaves them, stops at the door and listens to his parents'conversation) Gail: So.. big meeting with the investors today. Mitch: Same one as two and a half minutes ago.
(Exterior shot of Capeside. Pacey Witter is sitting on a bench overlooking the creek next to a older gentleman) Pacey: You know, this town is the absolute embodiment of dull. Apart from the occasional sex scandal provided by yours truely, nothing happens here. (Pacey gets up from the bench, spies a soda can and starts kicking it) Pacey: Ah, man, I swear one day this town is just going to shut down completely due to lack of interest. (Pacey starts to cross the street when a car comes flying around the corner. Pacey jumps back to the curb to avoid being hit. The car flies by him) Pacey: (shouting) Hey! Watch it, man. (The car backs up to where Pacey is standing. The driver turns out to be Jen's ex boyfriend Billy from New York.) Billy: Listen, maybe you can help me out? Pacey: With what? Driving lessons? Billy: No, but that's that's really cute. I'm looking for the high school. Pacey: Capeside High? Billy: Yeah. (Pacey seems lost in his own world) You going to help me out or do I have to ask Captain Ahab over there? (Billy points to the older gentleman still seated on the bench) Pacey: Yeah, yeah ,yeah. Oh sorry, alright, so you want to take this road about another mile, take a left on Glen Street, then ah, you know you're probably going to have to write this down, sport. (Billy points to his head) Billy: Total recall. Pacey: (laughing) So you get to that first stop sign after Glen Street and take a left. The high school is right there, you can't miss it. You know what? I'm headed in that direction right now. So if you want to give me a ride, I'd be happy to navigate you. Billy: And ride with such a reckless driver? C'mon, does that sound smart to you? (Billy drives away leaving Pacey to walk to school)
