Transcript Page 2(Joey and Jen are walking towards their lockers with each other)Jen: (to Joey)Listen, I heard something this morning that I thought you should. (Jen spots Billy by her locker) Jen: At the risk of sounding redundant, what the hell are you doing here? Billy: The boys just have to wrap up some things before we left. (to Joey) Good morning. Jen:What are you talking about? Billy: I'm taking Pacey and your boy here on a little road trip. Funny, but in the midst of all the confusion, Dawson and I actually stumbled upon some common ground. Jen: I don't think I like the sound of this, Billy. The last thing Dawson needs is to be pulled down by you. Billy:I swear to you, Dawson was simply complaining how a guy can't seem to get any around here. So, I told him about this little place I know. Joey: What kind of place? Billy: Let's just say that women take cash and are remarkably friendly. Joey: You're taking him to a whore house? Billy:(spying Dawson) Oh, there's his holiness now. Well girls, gotta run. I see Saint Dawson is chumping at the bits to get some. Joey: I think I'm going to go barf. (They leave the girls) Billy: Excuse me (pulling Pacey with him) Pacey: We're not really going to go.. Billy:No. I was just kidding around. Pacey: Oh? Billy:Cheer up, stud.
(Jen and Joey are back at their lockers talking) Joey: God. Jen:You know, I've never really had a whole lot of faith in guys. But I. I thought Dawson was different. Joey: Yeah, he's different. Unfortunately, he's just not as different as we thought. Jen: No. Listen,ah, Joey, you know that football player Warren. Joey: What? Jen: You didn't sleep with him, did you? Joey: Yeah, I had sex with Warren Gerry. Right after I gave a sponge bath to the Navy pilots. Why would you even ask me that? Jen: He's telling everyone you did. (Jen and Joey are left standing in the hall as the bell rings signaling class)
(Dawson, Billy and Pacey are on the ferry to get to Rhode Island. Billy is down below the deck and Pacey and Dawson are talking by the rails.) Billy: I'm going to go downstairs and get a drink. Dawson: Alright. We'll be right here. Pacey: Alright, one more time. Dawson,you're not the type of guy who does something bad just because it feels good. Dawson:Oh, there's a oxymoron to live by. Pacey: What? You want examples of this? Alright, what's the first thing, the very first thing you did after announcing this little roadtrip of ours? Remember? You know exactly what it was, don't you? You turned in your Math homework. Man, hey, those are not exactly the actions of a rebel. But there's nothing wrong with that. You just cared about what people think about you. You're that nice Leery boy, man. You like being the nice Leery boy. Dawson: Oh yeah, and you're any different? Pacey:Hey.Please. Just, you know, talk to the school board and take a glance at my permanent records. There's not comparision between you and I, Dawson. Everybody knows you're a regular Richie Cunningham. Billy, he's the Fonz. Dawson: Congratulations. That makes you Potsie.
(The school lunchroom. Jen is sitting at a table with some people. Joey walks up to Warren who's sitting with his football friends) Joey: We need to talk. Warren: She needs to talk (Warren gets up from his table and follows her to a corner of the room) Joey: It wasn't very memorable, Warren. Warren: What? Joey: The sex. In fact, I can't seem to remember it at all. Why don't you refresh my memory? Warren: It was actually pretty good. Although you did eventually complain of fatigue. Joey: What is going on in that twisted head of yours? Warren: Look, this could be a win-win. Joey: Explain. Warren: Our reps. Okay, I've got one to live up to; you have one to live down. Joey: What? And people thinking we're doing the deed is going to help my precious reputation? Warren: Well, you know how in baseball, there are major and minor leagues? Joey: Yeah. Warren: Well, think of this as your call up to the show. No more shying in flyballs with washouts and wannabes. Joey: You are such a bastard. If you're the major leagues, well, then I hope I never get out of the A-ball. Warren: (loud enough for everyone to hear)Hey look, I never said that I would be your boyfriend. (Everyone looks at them. Joey storms off upset and Jen follows to make sure she's okay)
(Jen finds Joey hunched on the stairs in the hallway. Jen stands at the foot of the stairs leaning against the wall) Jen: I never believed it. Joey: You sure? That's why you asked. Jen: I only asked because I was concerned, Joey. But I would have bet anything against it. Besides. Joey: Besides what? Jen: Nevermind. I guess I've always just pictured you with someone different. Someone. You know, just another lifeform. Joey: Walking upright Jen: Yeah. Opposible thumb. The whole bit. And maybe someone just a tad more sensitive than Warren. Joey: Yeah, well, in my experiences, even the sensitive ones can let you down with the best of them. Jen: You know, Joey,maybe Dawson is. Joey: Look, I didn't say a thing about Dawson. And as far as Warren and his pathetic fantasies go,you know, what harm can a guy do? I mean,being called a football groupie could describe half the girls in this school. Jen: Joey: I may be overstepping my boundaries here, but, ah, I think I know a way to get Warren back. Joey:What? You know how to make a voodoo doll or something? Jen: No, I'm serious. You know, guys like Warren have been getting away with this kind of stuff way too long. So, what do you say Joey? Are you interested in a little payback? Joey: Alright, I'm listening. (Dawson,Pacey and Billy are still on the ferry to Rhode Island) Pacey: Alright. You know how when cartoon characters are trying to make a decision and the good angel pops up on one shoulder and you get the little devil on the other. Dawson: Yeah. Pacey:Well, I don't have a good angel, Dawson. I have you. Dawson: I'm not interested in a gig. It doesn't work for me anymore. Billy: I swear to God, you two sound like my parents. Hang tight. I'm going to go see what the deliverance time is. (Billy leaves them) Pacey: You know what? Need I remind you again of the ill- fated toilet papering of Coach Rollin's house? Dawson: Here you go again equitating fun with youthful indescetions. Pacey: Youthful indescrestions? What am I running for the Senate? Okay, granted, Dawson, for the high minded conversation, you're the man.Generally speaking, you're better at verbatim than actual verbs. Dawson: Verbs? Pacey:Yeah, action words. Rebel, House,Party. Dawson:Okay, when did party become a action word? Pacey: The year that you and I became into high school, Dawson.Okay, you're just going to have to trust me on this on. Sometimes, friendship means taking part in stupid stuff. No judgement. No questions asked. And no deconstruction of the event. Dawson: You don't think I'm capable of that? Pacey: Let's just say that I've seen no evidence to the contrary. (Billy joins them) Billy: I don't like those guys down there(they all look at the two guys down below) Dawson: Why's that? Billy: They're harassing everyone from the seagulls to the senior citizens. Well, it's really not my idea of fun. Pacey: Well, what do you say that we give them some instant karma. Huh? Maybe uh, an iron on the tailpipe. Billy: I was thinking maybe we could just slash their tires or something. Dawson: Oh,that's imaginative. Billy: You got a better idea? Dawson: Yeah, I do. Pacey: Oh yeah, I can't wait to see this. Dawson: Good angel this, Pacey. You guys ever see American Grafitti?
(Joey is in a room copying something from a book when Abby walks by. Abby stops by and begins talking to Joey) Abby: Well, well, well. If it isn't Mrs Warren Gerry. Joey: So you know? Abby: Well it is news and this is high school. (Joey turns away from the copier, puts her hand through her hair and starts crying putting on a show for Abby) Joey: He swore he wouldn't tell, Abby. He told me he loved me. Abby: Hundred Thousand pyramid. Things guys say in the backseat. Joey: Well you can add, you don't need protection to that list. Abby: What? Joey: I am *so* stupid. Abby: Wait. What are you saying? Joey:Well he started off, you know just calling all the time, he was so sweet, and one time he won me this stuffed frog at Coney Island and brought it back for me. The first time we made love, he cried. Abby: Warren Gerry? Joey: That was before the pee strip turned blue. Abby: Blue? Oh my God. (Abby shuts the door) Do you know what that means? Joey: Yes I do. Abby: You're pregnant. Joey: I know. Abby: Does Warren know? Joey: He told all his friends that it was my problem. And mine only. Abby: Oh, that little puke. Sorry puke. (Abby leaves and Joey, smiling, goes back to her copying of her book. Warren is later seen at his locker quickly trying to stuff his backpack with the baby stuff left inside.)
Billy, Dawson, and Pacey are still on the ferry. Dawson is going under the "mean" people's car and hooking it up to Billy's tailgate. Dawson then gets into the car with Pacey and Billy and waits for the ferry to dock. The ferry docks and the boys take offnot only with themselves but with the bumper of the "mean" people's car. Dawson: Now!Dude! Now! Pacey and Dawson:W0oooooo Yeah. Woooooooooooo.
Dawson, Pacey and Billy are at the bar. Pacey is playing pool while Dawson and Billy are just standing around nearby Billy: Alright, D man. You got your companion picked out for the evening yet? Dawson: Wh. What? Already? Billy: Yes. Pacey: No, shoot some pool. Billy: You've got to stay on top of these things. I bet Pacey isn't letting pool get in the way of business. Now,come on, take your pick. Billy starts pointing out girls to Dawson The blonde at the bar? Tanktop standing at the jukebox? Leather pants at phoosh ball? (Pacey shoots the ball across the pool table) Pacey: Rack em. Billy: Alright, so what's the deal?
