Pacey kids about entering the pageant to win the $5000 reward. "I'm afraid your God-given ability to relieve yourself standing up has rendered you ineligible." Wouldn't that just piss his dad off!
Jen gives Joey a compliment. Joey tells her to stop. She knows she's not pretty. Jen says that when she was dating Dawson, she was scared that he would notice Joey. She says that Joey should enter the "Miss Windjammer pageant". Joey likes the idea of $5000 in one night.
Pacey is putting up an argument that nowhere in the rule book does it say that a male can't enter the *Miss* Windjammer pageant. Dawson finds it funny that Joey is entering the pageant.

During Joey's interview, she says that in 5 years she pictures herself on the polar ice-caps. Dawson expected like Boston College. She tells him that everything changes eventually.
Jen gives Joey some Vaseline to put on her teeth so they don't stick to her lips when she smiles. She has to smile?!? Pacey is changing in the closet.
