Joey: Didn't I sleep with you once and never talk to you again?
Dawson: You know, I thought that was you.
Joey: Sorry about that.
Dawson: Don't worry about it. Happens to me all the time.
Joey: So... some night, huh?
Dawson: Yeah. Yeah. Kinda puts things into perspective.
Joey: How do you mean?
Dawson: Well, you know, if Audrey had managed to take us all out in a blaze of glory tonight, I'd hate to think that the last meaningful conversation you and I had was that one in your dorm room.
Joey: Mmm. Yeah. She was right about one thing, though, you know.
Dawson: What?
Joey: We never really dealt with what happened. I don't know about you, but I kinda put it all into a little box and pushed it far, far away.
Dawson: I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how it all went so wrong.
Joey: I spend a lot of time trying to forget we ever meant anything to each other.
Dawson: Fair enough. I deserve that, I guess.
Joey: No, you don't, and the thing is, Dawson, it never works. A night like this, it does put things into perspective. See... I think sometimes it's easy for me to kind of hate you because I know that you're out there, and if anything ever happened to me or if I ever really needed you, you'd be there for me.
Dawson: It's true.
Joey: Dawson, if that's true, then how come we only ever end up hurting each other?
Dawson: Well, we're not hurting each other right now.
Joey: Well... right now is an illusion, though. Right now it's a truce. But right now, I just want to stand here and talk to the one person who can maybe help me figure out how everything got this way. We can go back to hating each other in the morning.
Dawson: Sounds like a plan.
Joey: I don't really hate you, you know.
Dawson: I don't really hate you either.
friends only.
