Transcript Page 3(Mitch and Gail are returning to the house after a lesson together)Mitch: What is the big deal? Gail: The instruction was pretty basic. You should never be more than three feet away from your buddy at any time. Mitch: Oh, that's ironic. Me getting bitched at for floating away from you. (Dawson is shown sitting in his room listening to music. When he hears his parents fighting, he gets up and goes to the door to listen) Gail: Look, I can't do this by myself, so if you're going to fight this therapy every step of the way, then we're both just wasting our time. If that's the case, then just let me know Mitch. (Dawson closes his bedroom door and goes back to what he was doing) (Joey is waiting tables at the Icehouse along with Bessie. Joey is waiting to take the order of a woman who doesn't seem to know what to order) Joey: Can I take your order? Woman: Oh, oh let's see, um, I'll have. Joey: You know, everything's really good. Bessie: Joey, table 5. Woman: I think, I think I'll just have some coffee to start out with. Joey: Okay, in one second. (goes to another table) Can I take your order? Man at table: We've already ordered. Bessie: This is table 8, Joey, I said table 5. Joey: Ok, ok Woman: Miss, that coffee, please? Joey: Alright...in a second...oh, just a second. (Joey is getting ready to pour the coffee when Pacey shows up) Pacey: Hey Joe. Joey: Oh thank you, Satan, for completing this night of horrors by sending one of your disciples to finish me off. Pacey: Umm, what are you doing tonight? Man: Excuse me, I didn't order this. (Pacey follows Joey to the table of the woman who wanted the coffee. Joey pours a cup and puts the pot on the table) Pacey: Uhh, forget I said that. Wait..I was just out looking for a date and since I couldn't find one, I thought of you. Joey: Oh. Pacey: So, how 'bout it? Wanna go crash a beach party with me? Huh? Joey: Oh gee whiz, you know, as much as that sounds like so much fun, you know, I *am* kind of busy. (Joey storms off to clear a table of the dishes and Pacey follows her) Pacey: Come on, Joe, it'll be fun. Joey: (clearing dishes and handing them to Pacey) After I serve the one hundredth million seafood platter, finish picking up the broken glass from the ice maker, scrap the mung out of the viliators, I was thinking maybe of taking my tip money and flying to the Canary Islands and opening an offshore account. What do you think of that?(to one of the women sitting at the table) Sorry. Pacey: You know, when was the last (Joey starts pushing him away from the table)ok, alright, alright. Damn, Joey, when was the last time you went out and had some fun, alright? (They begin putting the dishes in a sink) Joey: Don't ask. Pacey: (pleading with her) Just go. Besides, Dawson will be there, okay? Joey: Big whoop Pacey: Alone, Joey. Bessie: (walking up to them and untying Joey's apron) Go. Joey: It's swamped. Bessie: Sarah's coming in to cover. Joey: Yeah, but you need me. You can't handle this by yourself. Bessie: Good-bye Pacey: (pulling Joey with him) You. come on, come on. (to Bessie) Slow down, Bessie.
(Dawson is standing in his closet trying to figure out what to wear for the party. Mitch knocks on the door, then enters) Mitch: Dawson? Dawson: Yeah? Mitch: Hey. Dawson: Hey. Mitch: How's it going? Dawson: Umm..Complicated and you? Mitch: Complicated. Squarely in the midst of what Dr. Keenan would refer to as stage 4. Dawson: Stage 4. Do I dare ask what stage 5 is? Mitch: Anyway, on to you, where's Billy the Kid? Dawson: Ummm, best guess, probably hanging out with his ex girlfriend, who happens to be my current girlfriend. Which means among other things,I'll be attending tonight's bar-b-que solo. While Jen spends the afternoon with my new roommate. What stage would Dr. Keenan put us in? Mitch: In high school. Dawson: Let's face it, dad. We're a couple of nice guys, which stopped being a desirable character trait about half a century ago. Mitch: Dawson, I am the last person who should be giving you or anybody else romance tips, however, it seems that every relationship produces its share of disappointments and insecurities and pains. Anyone who's never been hurt is either very lucky or very lonely. The trick is to get through it. Dawson: How? Mitch: Compromise. Tears, scuba lessons at the local y, Different for everyone. Dawson: And that works? Mitch: I have no idea, kid. No idea what so ever. (Billy and Jen are walking along the shoreline of Capeside. A boat can be heard going by) Billy: Do you know how much I just want to scoop you up and take you back to New York with me? Jen:(holding hands with him) And I would just end up turning around and coming here. This is my home, Billy. Billy: (drops hands with her)So, this is really it. You are leaving me for a guy who has a ET doll on his bed. Jen: It's a collector's item. Billy: It's a doll. Jen: Billy, it's been good to see you again, but I really should go to that party and find.. Billy: Yes. Jen: Dawson, since I owe him about 400 explanations. Billy: Alright, then before you leave, since who knows when and if we'll ever see each other again, how about for old time sake, you and me, just one last kiss? Jen: One last kiss and then you'll go? Billy: (holds three fingers up) Scout's honor. (Billy and Jen kiss) Jen: Good-bye Billy. (Jen leaves and starts to head to the party)
(Cliff Elliott's house. Joey is leaning against one of the posts of the balcony. Pacey joins her carrying a drink) Pacey: Alright then, this the best party or what? Joey: Oh, yeah. Time of my life. I'm ready for the group hug whenever you are. Pacey: Oh, Melissa Five at one o'clock. Girl of my dreams right there.(looks at what he's wearing) How do I look? Joey: (smiling)Like a before picture of a aftergeek remover. Pacey: Easy, doll. Jealousy is not going to get you anywhere. (Pacey leaves her to chase after Melissa and Dawson soon joins her on the balcony) Joey: Hey. Dawson: Great party huh? Joey: Oh yeah, time of my life. Dawson: I've had such a rockin' time since I joined the JV football team. Joey: Oh yeah and cheerleading has opened up sooo many doors. (Dawson and Joey look at each other smiling) Dawson: What do you say-one quick drink, then we hit the video store? Joey: Thought you'd never ask. Dawson: Be right back Joey: Okay. ( Dawson gets up to go get the drinks)
