Dawson: Joey! God! I've been looking all over for you!
(Joey climbs out of the closet and Dawson puts his hand on her shoulder.)
Dawson: Look, there's nothing going on between Jen and me. What you saw today was completely
innocent.
Joey: Look, you don't have to explain to me Dawson.
Dawson: Yes I do.
Joey: Why? Why do you feel the need to explain? We're just friends. That's all.
Dawson: Joey, c'mon you know that's not true.
(Joey throws her hands up in the air in frustration.)
Joey: So what are we Dawson?
(Joey walks to the center of the room.)
Joey:You know, I am so tired of the way we relate to one another. We spend all
of our time analyzing our sad little adolescent lives.
Dawson: I know we know too many big words. But it's a good thing to analyze.
Joey: But it doesn't get us anywhere. It doesn't move us forward. We're in
the same place we were tehre months ago. It's time to grow up Dawson.
(Dawson walks up to Joey.)
Dawson: I know, Joey. We can. We are growing up.
Joey: No we're not. Everyday is the same. We watch a movie, preferably a
Speilberg film, find the appropriate life correlation and then we pat ourselves
on the back for being so clever. You know, as much as our perception is right on,
our honesty is severely lacking Dawson.
Dawson: There is something lacking.
Joey: And the reason I came here tonight is because....we need to move on. Look,
we're not kids anymore. And I'm not going to do this anymore and I thought you
should know. So..
(Joey starts to walk towards the window.)
Dawson: So are you going to France?
(joey turns around.)
Joey: Ah, the inevitable cliffhanger. Am I going to France?
Dawson: Are you?
(Dawson walks over to Joey.)
Joey: Look, I am tired of all the drama in my life right now Dawson. And leaving
town just makes the most sense to me so...
Dawson: No, it doesn't.
Joey: Why should I stay? Is there some new release at the video store I don't
know about? It's time to grow up Dawson.
Dawson: Well then we'll do it together. Joey, I could grow up give me a chance.
Even Speilberg outgrew his Peter Pan syndrome.
Joey: I could have told you that months ago, Dawson.
(Joey turns to walk away.)
Dawson: You did.
(Joey turns back towards him and looks down.)
Joey: (softly) Yeah.
(The whole time, Dawson is smiling.)
Joey: Dawson, I'm so tired of dancing around these big words. I just want to be
honest with you.
Dawson: Me too. Joe, more than anything, I just want to be honest.
Joey: Do you think we're ready for that honesty?
Dawson: Yeah I do.
Joey: Are you sure? Because honesty is a big word and it changes things and it
complicates things. Are you sure you're ready for all the things that comes along
with telling the truth?
Joey looks at Dawson and she becomes hurt. Dawson realizes what he's done.)
Joey: I'll see ya Dawson.
Dawson: Joey! Joey!
(Dawson runs after Joey and grabs her arm to turn her around. He leans in to
kiss her. They look at each other and kiss again. She wraps her arms around
his neck and he wraps his arms around her waist. We see the camera focusing on
Dawson's room, where there is a shadow of Dawson and Joey, kissing passionately.
