Dawson : [describing heartbreak] It's agony. Complete, excruciating agony. It's like your heart has been ripped out of your chest and stomped on, and you can't breathe... you don't want to eat... you can't function. It's the most intense pain that you'll ever feel, and the worst part is, there's no way to relieve it. It's unyielding, merciless torture, and you *know* that it's yours for life
Dawson : Growing up does not have to equal growing apart.
Joey : Somehow it does.
Dawson : I think sometimes... you have to lose somebody completely before you can figure out what they really mean to you.
Dawson : Like all great romantics, Shakespeare realized love was a lot more likely to end with a bunch of dead Danish people than with a kiss.
DAWSON: She's great. I mean, she's -- she's smart, she's beautiful, she's funny, she's -- she's a big old scaredy cat. If -- if you creep up from behind her, she'll jump out of her skin. It's -- it's pretty amusing. Umm -- she's honest. She just calls 'em just like she sees 'em. Can always count on getting the truth from Joey, even if the truth hurts. She's stubborn. We fight a lot. She could be so frustrating sometimes. It's -- but she's a really, really good friend. I mean, loyal to a fault. She's -- she believes in me. And I'm a dreamer, so I mean, it's so good to have somebody like that in my life. God, if she goes away, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I mean, she's -- she's my best friend, you know? She's -- she's more than that. She... she's everything.
Joey : Dawson, I'm sorry I don't have the same dreams I had when I was 15 years old, and I'm sorry that I moved on faster than you did, but you know what? Maybe not everything that happens to you is my fault! And maybe just because I want more from my life than...
Dawson : more than what? More than us? You don't know, do you? You've never known. The entire time I've known you, all you've wanted to do is escape. From me, from Capeside. I mean, you say that I'm the dreamer. I'm the one who doesn't wanna live in the real world. Well, I'm doing it, Joey. Right now. I'm living in the real world. It's you who wants the fantasy
Joey : Dreams aren't perfect, Dawson. They come true, not free.
Joey : I don't know. I guess I feel different. Like... I've always had this tendency to assume that change, when it happens, can only be for the worse. You know? And lately, I kinda feel like that's not true... like whatever's waiting for me out there... may not be that bad. And even if it is... then not knowing about it... might actually be the good part.
Joey : I mean, how many truly great days are we gonna have in our lives?
Dawson : I don't know. Who knows how many you get? When they do happen to come along, though, I hope you're close by, at least for a few of 'em.
Joey : I'm so tired of dancing around these big words... I just want to be honest with you... more that anything I want to be honest with you. But, do you think we're ready for that honesty? Because honesty is a big word and it changes things, and it complicates things. Are you sure you're ready for everything that goes along with telling the truth?
Joey : People change, Dawson.
Dawson : They don't have to.
Joey : Yes, they do. People die, and they move away... and they grow up, Dawson. Everything changes eventually.
Joey : Wait a second. You're taking romantic advice from a guy who spent his evening trying to get 3 snails to sleep together?
JOEY (to Pacey): You think because you were together, what she did to you hurts more? It doesn't. There's no difference, Pacey. She's sixteen. And so are you. We talk like we know what's going on, but we don't. We don't know anything. We're really young and we're gonna screw-up a lot. We're gonna keep changing our minds and even sometimes our hearts. And through all that, the only real thing we can offer each other is forgiveness. I couldn't do that. Or at least I did it too late. Don't make my mistake. Don't let yourself be so angry you stop loving. Because one day you'll wake up from the anger, and the person you love will be gone.
Joey: Growing up sucks. And not all kisses are magic and not all boys live up to your expectations. But there are those times when everything, I mean, love, romance, relationships, it all falls together perfectly. It's incredible. It's those moments, no matter how depressed you feel, make growing up worth it.
JOEY: So we were friends, then we were a couple, then we were friends again, then we were a couple... what are we now?
DAWSON:We're Dawson and Joey.
JOEY: You think every Joey has a Dawson and every Dawson has a Joey?
DAWSON: I hope so. For their sake
Pacey : See this? This is you. It's not showy or gaudy. It's simple. Elegant. Beautiful.
Joey : It's my mom's bracelet.
Pacey : I know.
Joey : How do you know?
Pacey : Well, because you told me. Six months ago. You were wearing that blue sweater with the snowflakes that you have. You were walking down the hallway at school. I was annoying you as per usual. You said, "Look, Pacey, I just found my mother's bracelet this morning, so why don't you cut me some slack?"
Joey : You remember that?
Pacey : I remember everything.
Pacey : I've got a bad case of the Molly Ringwalds today.
Pacey : I'm just saying thank you. You reminded me of what I'm capable of feeling. It's like I was... walking around seeing my life through a smudged window, and then I saw you and the smudges were gone. The window was clean
Pacey : Confused, perplexed, bewildered, mystified - a thesaurus of emotions.
Pacey : You're not a little Oompa-Loompa any more, Dawson. You're a big, bad, manly Oompa-Loompa.
Pacey : You know, this town is the absolute embodiment of dull. Apart from the occasional sex scandal provided by yours truly, nothing happens here.
Jack : All the really exciting things in life require more courage than we currently have. A deep breath and a leap. See Joey, the kind of fear you're talking about... sometimes it's how you know what's worthwhile.
Jack : I don't believe in perfect love. But I do believe that there are people who's lives are inextricably intertwined.
Jack : So how does it feel to have a dream come true?
Dawson : How would I know? Do I look like I'm trapped in an elevator with Kate Hudson?
JEN: Girls suck. It's like they get lobotomized the second they hit puberty. One day you're all milling around in the Rainbow Brite section at FAO Schwartz. The next day someone has breasts... After that, it's all about getting boys to like you and whoever dies the thinnest wins.
FROST: Is that what happened to you? You wanted boys to like you.
JEN: Teenage sluts aren’t born, they’re made.
