A joyous reunion turns to heartbreak at the creek

of their own has been harboring a heartbreaking secret. Since they were last
together, Dawson has been living in Los Angeles producing his
autobiographical television series ‘The Creek, but has never forgotten the
love of his life; Joey is a successful book editor living in New York with
her boyfriend but comes home to realize she still loves her childhood
sweethearts; Pacey is the owner of the new Ice House and still carries a
torch for Joey, although he continues his pattern of getting into trouble
with older women, including his newest conquest; Jen is a single mom living
with Grams and managing an art gallery in Soho; and Jack is a teacher at
Capeside High and has fallen in love with a secretly gay man.
|
[Scene: The hallway outside Jen’s
Hospital room. Jack comes out to join Pacey, Joey, Dawson and Grams. They are
all worriedly pacing and waiting.]
Jack: Ok, here's the deal. She knows that you know, but she's got a few
requests. No maudlin soap opera theatrics. She wants the room drama-free and
full of laughter. No tears. In fact, she's instructed me to bar anyone from the
hospital that cries.
Joey: I can't promise that.
Dawson: Who could?
Jack: Then you leave. Jen's rules.
Grams: It's what she wants, children. Just do the best you can.
Dawson: Do we all go in together?
Jack: Uh, not at first. I think we should ease into this. So why don't we try
one at a time?
Joey: This isn't happening. I can't believe this is happening.
Jack: Who wants to go first?
[No body jumps at the opportunity, and finally Pacey speaks up.]
Pacey: [Chuckles] Send in the clown, huh?
[Scene: Jen’s Hospital room. Pacey knocks on the door and pokes his head inside
and sees Jen sitting up on the bed. He goes in and walks over to the bed.]
[Knock on door]
Jen: So. So they sent you in first.
Pacey: Yeah, I'm the opening act.
Jen: Well, you can start off by wiping that fake smile off your face. Say
something, Pacey.
Pacey: Well, Jack tells me you're dying. But other than that, everything's ok,
right?
Jen: [Laughs] Thank you. Come here.
[He goes over and gives her some flowers.]
Pacey: These are for you.
Jen: Oh, thank you. They're beautiful.
[Scene: The waiting room. Jen, Grams, Joey and Dawson are sitting out there
waiting for their turn to talk to Jen.]
Joey: Are they sure? I mean, if it's her heart, can't she have a transplant?
Grams: She'll never make the donor list, and with her lungs failing...
[Jack looks up and sees Doug walk in carrying a bunch of flowers.]
Doug: Hey.
Jack: Hey.
Doug: I, uh, I got these for Jen. Will you tell her that I came by?
Jack: I will.
[Pacey comes out and walks over to join them.]
Pacey: The lady will see you now.
[Scene: Jen’s Hospital room. Dawson, Joey and Pacey come walking into the room,
and Pacey makes is way over and sits on the end of the bed.]
Dawson: Hey there.
Jen: Hi.
Joey: How you doing?
Pacey: What's wrong with these guys?
Jen: I don't know. What's wrong, guys? Is someone dying or something?
Joey: It's not funny.
Pacey: On the contrary, it's fatally funny.
Jen: I could die laughing.
Pacey: [Laughs]
[Joey looks at the too of them like they are crazy.]
Joey: Stop it.
Jen: Come on, guys. It's funny, ok? It has to be. It has to be funny. Otherwise,
I'm gonna get angry and bitter, and I don't want to.
Pacey: She gets very crabby on her deathbed.
[Scene: The Potter B&B. Joey is sitting at the table, when Bessie walks into the
room. ]
Bessie: How is she?
Joey: More brave than she'll ever know.
Bessie: I'm just on my way over there now. Can you keep an eye on Alexander?
Joey: Yeah.
[Cell phone rings]
Bessie: You're avoiding.
Joey: No, I'm not.
Bessie: You mean that wasn't Christopher?
Joey: Yes, it was him. Every time the phone rings, it's him.
Bessie: I still think you owe it to that boy to call him up and tell him you've
been avoiding his calls because you're too chicken to tell him it's over.
Joey: I'm not too chicken to tell him that it's over. I'm just-- I'm not sure if
it's over.
Bessie: You're still in love with your ex-boyfriend.
Joey: I am not still in love with my ex-boyfriend.
Bessie: No, you're still in love with your ex-boyfriends, plural.
Joey: Bessie, that is ridiculous.
Bessie: Come on, dial the number. I'll hold your hand. Go.
[Bessie hands Joey the phone.]
Joey: I hate you.
Bessie: You're welcome.
[Scene: The New Icehouse. Joey comes walking up to the place just as Pacey is
closing up, and he turns and sees her before locking the door.]
Pacey: Hi.
Joey: Hey. I was walking around in a fog and... realized I hadn't eaten today.
Pacey: Well, you've come to the right place.
[Cut to inside the kitchen. Pacey is cooking some food while Joey is sitting on
the counter next to him]
Pacey: Mmm. Try that.
Joey: Mmm.
Pacey: Yeah?
Joey: Yep. No suit and tie for you. This is definitely your calling.
Pacey: The man in the apron who's rooted-- who's cemented into Capeside.
Joey: Pace, what's with the life ennui?
Pacey: Well, come on, Dawson went off and conquered Hollywood, you ran away to
Paris and New York, and I...
Joey: Well, I didn't run. I flew--coach.
Pacey: [Laughs] Regardless. I left this town for, what, a total of 2 years in my
entire life?
Joey: Yeah, but, Pacey, you have a restaurant. It's what you love.
Pacey: Why couldn't I have a restaurant in Hollywood or New York?
Joey: Pacey, don't be so hard on yourself. I mean, I know that with everything
that's going on right now, it's hard not to be, but...come on. You've really got
it going on. You have a great life here.
Pacey: Yeah.
[Slides knife across cutting board]
Pacey: I just wish that I could feel that.
Joey: You don't?
Pacey: Well, I didn’t... until you came breezing through my door again.
Joey: Uh-oh.
Pacey: [Laughs] There's no need to bolt. 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.
Joey: Eloquent.
Pacey: Well, I try.
[She throws some noodles at him.]
Pacey: Hey! Hey!
[He throws noodles back at her and a big food fight begins]
Pacey: In my-- in my kitchen, I'm the only one who throws anything. I want you
to think very carefully about the next thing that you do.
[She eats some noodles]
Joey: [Humming]
Pacey: [Chuckles]
[They get close almost ready to kiss
Pacey: And here we are again. What is it between the two of us?
Joey: Are you bringing us down? Because you know what? I have enough frequent
flyer miles to get a nonstop out of here.
Pacey: Really? I'd hate for you to do that. You know, I would never bring you
down, because I just want you to be—
[He grabs some noodle and throws them down her shirt.]
Joey: [Gasps]
Pacey: What are you gonna eat? That's your dinner.
Joey: Pacey, is this ok? Should we be laughing like this?
Pacey: I would say at a time like this, yes, now more than ever
[Commercial Break]
[Scene: Jen’s hospital room. Jen is lying there in bed, talking to Joey who is
walking around the bed and takes a seat in a chair next to Jen’s bed and is
helping her put on some makeup.]
Jen: So, what, so that was it? So no begging and pleading?
Joey: Well, there was a lot of pausing and heavy silence, and he did his whole
"uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh thing."
Jen: No big...suicidal "I can't live without you" speech? I mean, I thought that
this guy was a brooding writer.
Joey: He mumbled something about "love is so short, forgetting is so long."
Jen: Oh, my god. That's beautiful.
Joey: He stole it. Pablo Neruda, 20 love poems and a song of despair, published
in hardback, 1924.
Jen: Joey, Joey, Joey. What am I going to do with you? You're constantly getting
into these situations where you jump in with your heart, and then you have to
jump out with your head. Your heart and your head have just been in constant
conflict with each other.
Joey: Well, that's because there's nothing else to be conflicted about. I am all
out of conflict. I have been for years.
Jen: Well, if you ever want to be reminded of it, you can just watch Dawson’s
show. What about that girl that they cast as me? Ohh. I've often thought about
getting a lawyer and suing his ass.
Joey: Well, at least you get to have sex. All I do is mope around and pine after
Petey, then Colby, then Colby, then Petey.
Jen: [Laughs] Well, you never could make a decision.
Joey: You know, that's where he got it all wrong. I mean, the eternal triangle,
it's based on actual events. It's not about Sam choosing between Colby and Petey.
It never was. It's about... Sam making a decision with herself.
Jen: Can we just use the real names here? There's no need to protect the guilty
in this room.
Joey: It's just sad that it took a TV show to make me see it.
Jen: What? See what? I'm incredibly interested in all of this.
Joey: The only decision left is the one that I need to make with myself-- to
stop running... once and for all. I mean, I know who I'm supposed to be with.
I've always known.
Jen: Really?
Joey: Yeah, but then the fear takes over, the free-floating, anxiety-ridden fear
in the pit of my stomach that makes me run. Jen, I am completely comfortable
running. I really don't know any other way.
Jen: Maybe I can help. [Clears throat] What if I demand that you make that
decision? No more running. I'm going to make it my dying wish. My death will
serve a greater purpose. It's your ultimate motivator.
Joey: Jen.
Jen: Hey. Just for the record here, because I feel like I'm a little bit out of
the loop on this, who is it that you've always known that you were meant to be
with? Is it Colby or is it Petey?
[Knock on door]
Joey: It—
[Dawson comes walking into the room with a wheel chair.]
Dawson: hey, Jo. I've come to kidnap Jen, that is, if you're ready.
Jen: Ready and waiting. Get me out of this bed.
[Scene: Outside in the Ruins, which has now become a public park. Dawson is
setting up his camera, while Jen is sitting in the wheelchair next to the water.
Dawson is uncomfortable, and you can tell he is doing this for Jen.]
Jen: It's beautiful today, isn't it? Mmm. How the sun just affects every
breathing thing. I mean, you can really see it.
Dawson: Ok, Mrs. Dalloway.
Jen: [Chuckles] Thank god your humor has returned.
Dawson: You sure you want to do this?
Jen: Absolutely. [Clears throat] You?
Dawson: 100% sure... I don’t. But I don't think you're gonna let me out of it,
so...
Jen: I'll be quick. I promise. You can turn it on.
[He begins filming]
Jen: Hi, Amy, it's mom. Well, by the time you see this, I won't be here anymore,
and I know how much that sucks, for both of us. So seeing as how I won't be
around to thoroughly annoy you, I thought I would give you a little list of the
things that I wish for you. Well, there's the obvious. An education. Family.
Friends. And a life that is full of the unexpected. Be sure to make mistakes.
Make a lot of them, because there's no better way to learn and to grow, all
right? And, um, I want you to spend a lot of time at the ocean, because the
ocean forces you to dream, and I insist that you, my girl, be a dreamer. God.
I've never really believed in god. In fact, I've spent a lot of time and energy
trying to disprove that god exists. But I hope that you are able to believe in
god, because the thing that I've come to realize, sweetheart... is that it just
doesn't matter if god exists or not. The important thing is for you to believe
in something, because I promise you that that belief will keep you warm at
night, and I want you to feel safe always. And then there's love. I want you to
love to the tips of your fingers, and when you find that love, wherever you find
it, whoever you choose, don't run away from it. But you don't have to chase
after it either. You just be patient, and it'll come to you, I promise, and when
you least expect it, like you, like spending the best year of my life with the
sweetest and the smartest and the most beautiful baby girl in the world. You
don't be afraid, sweetheart. And remember, to love is to live.
[Scene: Jen’s Hospital room. Jen is sitting in the bed, while Pacey is setting
up a VCR, and putting a tape into it.]
Pacey: Dawson still doesn't know I borrowed this.
Jen: You mean stole?
Pacey: No, I mean borrowed. You don't steal from friends.
Jen: When did you borrow this?
Pacey: Uh, in 1998, right after he shot it.
Jen: Oh. Ha ha.
[Slow-tempo rock ballad playing Alanys Morressettes One hand in my pocket.]
[The TV displays the tape which has scenes from the very early episodes, and the
full shots used in the opening credits in the first year. Mainly the Initial
four of them hanging out and having fun together.]
Jen: Oh, god, we're so gawky.
Pacey: Well... you anyway.
Jen: Yeah. Jet was such a long time ago.
Pacey: [Sighs] Yes, it was.
Jen: I recognize a Joey trance when I see it.
Pacey: [Laughs] It is definitely nice to have her back around again.
Jen: Do you feel the sparks?
Pacey: Well, you can never really deny the sparks between the two of us. When
she's around, I just feel more... I feel more alive.
Jen: Mm...
Pacey: I think people underestimate how important that is.
Jen: I think they overestimate it, too. I mean, as much as you want to, you
can't rely on someone else to make you feel alive. It's an inside job.
Pacey: True.
Jen: So, do you plan on borrowing her or stealing her from your best friend?
Pacey: Well, I'm hoping that it's a little different now and maybe we've moved
beyond that.
Jen: I just want the 3 of you to stay friends... and I hope you stay in touch.
Never forget what you mean to each other and the effect that you've had on each
other's lives. So friendship can really never be over or underestimated.
[Breathes deeply, sniffles] Oh, god, I hate this. I'm so angry. I'm so angry. I
don't want to do this. I don't want to... die. I hate this. Remind me to never
do it again. It's not funny. I'm losing my sense of humor here, Pace. I don't
want to leave my daughter. I don't want to leave her alone.
Pacey: We will not leave your daughter alone I promise you that. Saturday night
has me and Amy’s name written all over it, ok? We will take care of your baby. I
promise you. Oh, my god.
[They Hug]
[Commercial Break]
[Scene: The Ruins. Dawson is sitting in a there alone thinking, when Joey comes
over and sits on the bench next to him.]
Joey: Hey.
Dawson: Hey.
Joey: How'd it go?
Dawson: Well, you know that list of hardest things to live through? You just got
bumped again. Ah. I'm so out of touch, Jo. I've... I've wasted so much time
living in my little Hollywood bubble even now, my mind's on my work. I hate to
admit that. Show's calling every 5 seconds. The network wants a script, which I
haven't finished yet, because I don't know how. I don't have an ending. I can't
even think straight enough to write one.
Joey: Dawson, this is a time of extreme stress.
Dawson: It's not just that. When I saw Jen for the first time the other with Amy
my first thought was, when did Jen have a baby? I forgot Jen had a baby. I
forgot I knew that. What-- what's wrong with me?
Joey: You cannot feel guilty about that, Dawson. My office is calling every 5
seconds. It's--it's called life, and we just have to deal. Deal with—
Dawson: With what, though? It's not Shakespeare. I'm not writing Schindler's
list. I don't even know why I care so much. I'm no Spielberg. The guy won't even
take a meeting with me. Would he?
Joey: Stop it.
Dawson: She's dying. Jo, she's gonna die, and all I can think about is some
frickin' ending to some stupid TV show. I keep thinking there's gonna be time
for the rest of it, but it--it--it runs out.
Joey: Yes, it does.
Dawson: Nothing in my life feels real anymore. I've lost touch with my family,
my friends, you... and you and me together is the only thing that ever made
sense to me, and I forgot that... until I saw you, and then it came back, what
we were, and we're not even together.
Joey: Do you not watch the Creek? We're together every Wednesday at 8:00.
Dawson, you wrote a show about us.
Dawson: And that's the problem. I've turned my entire life into fiction. It's
not even real life that I'm living anymore.
Joey: It is real, in the best way possible. Dawson, do you know how lucky you
are? You're a writer. You get to live life twice. Who else can do that?
[Scene: Jen’s Hospital room. Jen is sitting on her bed, with Amy in her arms,
looking over a paper, while Jack is sitting in a chair next ot her bed looking
over some papers of his own.]
Jen: I like this one. Definitely an "A."
Jack: Oh, yeah. I thought it was a little pedestrian, rushed. I think, uh,
Cynthia here is capable of much more.
Jen: Oh, gosh. Well, we're all capable of more, Jack.
Jack: Hey, you want to sit? You want to go in your chair?
Jen: Yeah, thanks.
[Jack picks Amy up and puts her in her child seat]
Jen: Hey.
Jack: Wanna go in your thingy? Here.
Amy: Mama.
Jack: Ohh. Speaking of capability... can I bring up the as yet unspoken subject
of Amy here?
Jen: Bad segue, English teacher. I think you can do better.
Jack: Jen, come on. This is tough.
Jen: I don't want you to feel pressure, Jack.
Jack: I am her godfather.
Jen: I think that when most people sign up for godparent duties, they don't
imagine that it could ever extend beyond a few baby-sits.
Jack: Jen, I want her. I want her, but I don't know what you and Grams have
discussed.
Jen: Grams is aware of the reality of the situation, with her health and all...
and we both think that you would make an excellent father. One request. Can you
please help Amy find a place to be? I feel like I never really quite fit.
Jack: Which is why we're us.
Jen: I know. I mean, from the second that I stepped out of that cab and onto the
creek, I--I was the instigator, you know? The girl who caused problems and
rocked the creek and upset the delicate emotional balance of Capeside, and--and
I don't want Amy to be that person. I want her to belong. I feel like I never
really did.
Jack: Jen, you belong. You belong to me. Don't you get it? [Sniffles] You're my
soul mate.
[Tears flow from the both of them]
Jack: Amy's gonna know love. Every day of her life, she is gonna know how much
her mother loved her. I'm gonna see to that. Ok?
[Scene: The hospital waiting Room. Joey and Pacey are sitting together waiting.
Joey is resting her head on Pacey’s shoulder, and they are holding hands. Else
where Gale and Dawson are sitting together watching Lily and Alexander color in
coloring books. Elsewhere Grams and Amy are playing with a toy. Bessie comes
walking over with some food. We keep cutting to later times with all of them
passing the time together.]
[Scene: Jen’s hospital room. Grams is sleeping in a chair in Jen’s room. Jen
looks over at her, and smiles, and then slowly rolls her head back and slowly
closer her eyes. Grams wakes up and goes over and realizes that she has passed
away. Grams looks peacefully at Jen, and kisses her on the forehead. A look of
sadness mixed with relief crosses her face.]
Grams: I'll see you soon, child. Soon.
[Commercial Break ]
[Scene: The New Icehouse. The Funeral gathering is there, and the place is
packed with the grievers. Cut from scene to scene of all the cast trying to
console one another. We see Jack and Amy at one table playing together, and
slowly pan to Pacey and Doug sitting together, and Doug is watching them.]
Pacey: You should go talk to him.
Doug: [Clears throat] Now's not the time.
Pacey: Ok, fair enough. Just remember that saying's not worth much today.
[Pacey leaves Doug and goes over to join Amy, Jack and Grams.]
Pacey: Hey.
[Scene: Ice House Kitchen. Pacey goes in to the kitchen and sees Joey looking
around]
Pacey: Hey.
Joey: I'm looking for some serving spoons.
Pacey: They're in the bin at the end.
Joey: Well, how you doing? You ok?
Pacey: Yeah. Yeah, I really am ok.
Joey: What's going on in that head of yours?
Pacey: You're off the hook.
Joey: What?
Pacey: You're off the hook. I've never really put much faith in all that "if you
love someone, set them free" crap, as evidenced by everything I've done in my
life up to this very moment, but I am determined to be happy, Joey. Happy in
this life. And I love you. I mean, I always-- I have always, always loved you.
But our timing has just never been right. And the way I figure it, time is no
man's friend. So I have to get right with that and be happy, now. Because this
is it. I mean, this is all that we get. If there's one thing I've learned from
losing Jen, that's what I've learned.
Joey: Pacey, I—
Pacey: Actually, um, hold on. I'm not done yet. Because I also want for you to
be happy. It's really important for me that you be happy. So I want you to be
with someone, whether it be Dawson or New York guy or some man that you haven't
even met yet. But I want you to be with someone who can be a part of the life
that you want for yourself. I want you to be with someone who makes you feel
like I feel when I'm with you. So, I guess the point to this long run-on
sentence that's been the last 10 years of our lives is just that the simple act
of being in love with you is enough for me. So you're off the hook.
Joey: You know, for the record, I-- [Sniffles] I don't want to be let off the
hook. Because everything in my life that I've done has led me here... right now,
and the last thing I want, need, or deserve is to be let off somebody's hook.
Pacey: Please don't miss my point here 'cause—
Joey: And don't miss mine. Pacey... I love you. You know that. And it's very
real. It's so real that it's kept me moving, mostly running from it, never ready
for it. And I love Dawson. He's my soul mate. He's tied to my childhood, and
it's a love that is pure and eternally innocent. I can't be let off the hook
because I might just get the notion that it's ok to keep running.
Pacey: So then, what exactly are you saying here?
[Gales comes in and interrupts them]
Gale: Oh, Pacey, there you are. Um, we need plates.
[Pacey hands her some plates]
Gale: You are so sweet to open up your place like this. I love you both.
[Gale leaves them alone again]
Pacey: Ok, uh... I think you were maybe just about to say something really
important.
Joey: Pacey... I realize...
[Bessie comes in this time and interrupts them.]
Bessie: Joey, give me a hand. Here, grab this tray. Here.
[Bessie hands Joey a tray of food.]
Bessie: How you doing, Pacey?
Pacey: I'm good, Bess. I'm good, thanks.
[Scene: The beach front Jack is sitting in the sand staring out into the water
alone, when Doug comes walking over to join him.]
Doug: Grams said you were here. Just thinking?
Jack: Capeside's favorite pastime.
Doug: What about?
Jack: Moving.
Doug: Moving? Where?
Jack: I don't know. Boston, New York.
Doug: Why?
Jack: Amy.
Doug: Jack, you can't do that.
Jack: Yes, I can. How many gay parents do you know in Capeside?
Doug: So? How many gay teachers were there before you came back? How many gay
sheriffs are there, for that matter?
Jack: Last time I checked, none. I'm tired of being first, Doug. Half my life
has been about re-educating this community. What do I have to show for it?
Doug: You think there are prizes for inspiring people?
Jack: I don't want to inspire people anymore. All I want to do is give Amy a
normal existence, and she's not gonna get that here. She's gonna have the same
childhood that I did. Only instead of being the only gay kid, she's gonna be the
only kid with a gay parent. I don't want that.
Doug: You're gonna be a gay parent no matter where you are. And, yeah, Amy is
gonna face rejection. That's what it means to be a teenager.
Jack: I just want to be a good parent, Doug. I have to be.
Doug: Hey... Jack... being a good parent means knowing that your child is bound
to fall down. You just have to show 'em how to get back up.
Jack: What do you know about parenting?
Doug: Not much. I'm hoping to learn quickly.
Jack: That's a sweet gesture, but, no, thank you.
Doug: It's not a gesture.
Jack: Yes, it is. With everything that we've been through, I'll be damned if
we're gonna get back together over your sense of... obligation, or worse, pity.
Doug: Screw pity. I love you. I love you, Jack. I love that you're the bravest
person I know... the kindest. I love that no matter what you do, your life is
gonna stand out. I want to stand out with you... and your daughter. [Sighs] If
you'll let me.
[Doug kisses Jack, and an elderly couple come walking down the beach and notice
them, and Jack stops Doug for a minute.]
Jack: Uh...
Doug: What?
Jack: It's the Dudleys. Right there.
Doug: Evening, Mr. And Mrs. Dudley. I was just, uh... kissing my boyfriend.
Jack: That's sweet, dear.
[Both laughing]
[Scene: Dawson’s Back Yard. Dawson is sitting at the picnic table trying to
figure the ending of his final episode of the season. He hears the sound of a c
ar door and looks back in time to see the moment that Jen first arrived in
Capeside. The scene fades to Lily and Alexander playing together in the back
yard. He looks back over the creek, and sees when Joey comes walking up to join
him from his pier.]
Dawson: Hey.
Joey: How ya doing?
Dawson: Surviving. You?
Joey: It's been a long day.
Dawson: Yeah.
Joey: Are you writing?
Dawson: No. The curse of an unwritten ending.
Joey: Oh. Make it a happy one, please. I can't take any more sad ones. Stay away
from the life and death of it all.
Dawson: It's interesting how people use that expression-- life and death. As if
to imply that life is the opposite of death, but birth is the opposite of death.
Life... has no opposite.
Joey: I never thought of it that way.
Dawson: Well, leave it to me to over think it.
Joey: You are the writer.
Dawson: Yeah. This writer has decided it doesn't matter how it ends... because
fiction is fiction, and for the first time, in a long time... [Sighs] My life is
real. It doesn't matter who ends up with who. Because in some unearthly way...
it's always gonna be you and me.
Joey: Soul mates.
Dawson: What we have goes beyond friendship, beyond lovers. It's forever.
Joey: [Softly] Yes, it is. I love you, Dawson.
Dawson: I love you, too, Joey.
[The hear giggling and they turn around to see Lilly up in Dawson’s room, and
Alexander at the bottom of the ladder.]
Lily: Come on, Alexander! Come on! Only a few more steps! You can do it!
Joey: [Laughs] You and me, always.
Dawson: Always.
[Scene: The set of Colby’s Room. Colby and Sam are acting out the final scene
from the season one finale where Joey and Dawson kiss in his room at the final
scene.]
Sam: I can't take it anymore, Colby. I don't want to wait for my life to be
over. I want to know right now. What will it be?
[They kiss]
Colby: You and me. Always.
[Scene: Joey’s apartment. The camera pulls off of the camera over to Joey who
turns off the TV after seeing “Executive Producer – Dawson Leery”]
Joey: That was perfect. Absolutely perfect.
[The camera pans out, and we see Pacey sitting there next to her. She looks over
and there is a tear in his eye.]
Joey: Are those tears? Are you crying?
Pacey: [Sighs] He got me. He got me.
Joey: [Laughs] Let's call him.
[Scene: Dawson’s Office. Dawson is sitting at his desk looking over some
paperwork, when his assistant walks in carrying a clip board. You can tell it is
late and no one else is around.]
Assistant: [Sighs] Well, I'm taking off. You should get out of here, too. You
have a meeting first thing in the A.M.
Dawson: Got it.
[Telephone rings]
Dawson: No, no, no. Get out of here.
Assistant: Thanks.
[Dawson answers the phone]
Dawson: Yeah?
Pacey: Hey, it's us.
Joey: It was great! Fantastic! It was so sweet.
Pacey: You got Joey crying like a baby.
Joey: [Laughs] I can't wait till next season.
Dawson: You'll never guess who I'm meeting tomorrow.
Joey: Spielberg?
Pacey: Spielberg? Get out of town! Who made you a big Hollywood player, man?
Joey: Oh, my god! What are you gonna say? What are you gonna wear?
Dawson: I have no idea.
