"Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?" "I don't know." "All of us male models tend to look the same." "I don't know." "You vaguely resemble this boy I had the time of my life with last summer." "Come on up here." "Melanie Shea Thompson." "I always had this funny feeling that our paths were gonna cross again." "What took you so long?" "l got busy." ""Got busy"?" "Sounds like code for you started dating guys more appropriate to your station in life." "There was a guy." "Didn't work out, though." "So is this what you do all day?" "Boat stuff?" "Shouldn't you have a job?" "l do actually have a job." "Wait." "My cute, slacker boyfriend went and got himself a job?" "Yeah." "You ever heard of Civilization?" "As in the hippest restaurant in town?" "You work there?" "That's me." "Talk about shattering a girl's faith in the order of the universe." "Expect your uncle to let me live on his boat free of charge?" "I had to do something to pay the rent." "Well, actually, that...." "That leads me to why I'm here." "I've got some bad news for you." "My uncle sold the boat." "Well, that sucks." "Yeah." "But I have good news too." "My uncle selling the boat is true, but what I failed to tell you is that he bought another boat." "A bigger boat." "An 80-foot shipyard schooner, to be exact." "And he sent me down here to ask you if you wanted to sail the Greek islands with him." "Well, I volunteered to come down here, actually." "Are you kidding?" "l kid you not." "It leaves in three days." "All you gotta do is get your butt to the airport." "Interesting." "Interesting?" "is that all you have to say?" "What happened to the guy who was ready to take the next boat out of here?" "He's still present and accounted for." "Just say you caught him a little off guard." "Well, I should go, before this boat stirs feelings that I have neither the time nor the luxury to act on." "But think about it, Pacey." "It's the real deal." "Safe to come in?" "Woman at work." "Enter at your own risk." "They're showing last year's senior thesis films at Vis-Arts today after registration." "Want to join me?" "I would, but after bluffing my way through a philosophy midterm which I pray is multiple choice, I have to go to the station and do a shift." "Okay." "Let's grab dinner tonight. lt's been a while since we just hung out." "I can't. I have to take publicity stills down at the station." "You know, I never really thought you were that into makeup." "You have no idea how much it takes to look like you're not that into makeup." "l thought I knew all your secrets." "You'll never know all my secrets." "You wouldn't know the secret of where my toothbrush is, would you?" "lt has a blue handle, doesn't it?" "That's the one." "Yeah." "I thought it was old." "I used it to separate my eyelashes. I'm sorry." "That's all right. I'll just use yours, if it's okay." "Actually" "Jen, we've been sleeping together for three weeks." "I know, but it's my toothbrush." "Okay." "All right." "No problem." "That is quite an extensive dental floss collection you've got going there." "There's a lot of different varieties with a lot of different applications." "Dawson, please." "That's my drawer." "Yes, it is." "I'm sorry." "I don't mean to freak you out, I'm" "Takes a lot more than that to scare me." "Good morning." "Bye." "Of course, writing a first novel is a major undertaking and it could be argued that like, say, getting married it's not something one should attempt before the age of 25." "However, that is not gonna stop us from trying." "So for next time, read the first two books on your syllabus." "One's a masterpiece, the other a dismal, horrific failure." "If you can't tell which is which you might want to rethink your schedule." "Okay?" "We good?" "Till next time." "Not so fast, Miss Potter." "Hi." "Hi." "Joey, is there anyone in this class with whom you would wish to become better acquainted?" "is this a trick question?" "I have a sneaking suspicion that boy in the back is waiting to talk to you." "Elliot!" "Elliot Sawyer." "His name's Elliot." "Had him for freshman comp." "Elliot, are you waiting to talk to me?" "No." "And is your shoe actually untied?" "No, not so much." "Yeah." "I'm rarely wrong about these things." "Elliot, were you attempting to flirt with this girl over here?" "No." "No, I was just" "Well, that's too bad." "Guess you're not half the man I thought you were." "You don't remember me, do you?" "Should I?" "l sat behind you in Econ." "Well, I usually try to face front." "The teachers really seem to respond to it." "I met you back at that party at the beginning of the year." "That Boston Bay party." "Right." "Sure." "A lot of weird things happened that night." "Can't argue with that." "I should probably go." "I have another class." "Right." "Hey." "Which way you headed?" "South campus or...?" "North." "Well, I could walk you there." "Maybe we could stop and get a cup of coffee or something." "Actually, I'm kind of late to meet my roommate." "Right." "Well, I guess I'll see you around then." "All right, people, this is Jen Lindley on 96. 6 WBCW  coming at you with four hours of pure, unadulterated kick-ass rock." "And if you ask me, not that you did that's the problem with music today is that nobody rocks anymore." "I mean, you've got your Britney, you've got your *NSYNC but where is the rock, I ask you?" "And so I give you the stylings of Tenacious D with their rousing little ditty " Explosivo."" "Gee, I'm awfully sorry." "That was not supposed to happen." "My apologies." "This wouldn't be a problem if I had another song selected but that's just not my process, that's not how I work." "So I am going to take a request." "Hi." "Hello." "You're on the air." "Hi." "Can I ask you something?" "Yeah." "Sure." "But I should lay the ground rules here." "I will not, under any circumstances, play Limp Bizkit." "Just so you know." "Actually, I was gonna ask you if you had a boyfriend." "Yeah." "Actually, I do." "Although it's hard to think of him as my boyfriend because I've known the guy for years, but, yes, I do." "Well, I have a boyfriend, and we seem to be having this problem and I need to talk to someone about it." "Okay." "Shoot." "Okay." "We just started having sex and I like him a lot, don't get me wrong, but the sex...." "Yes?" "Well, more often than not, it tends to be somewhat abbreviated." "Oh, I see." "Well, fear not, my dear girl, you are not alone here." "This is actually a problem that can be solved." "How can you help me?" "Well the first thing you have to understand is the truly fragile nature of the male ego." "This is a big step, man." "You excited?" "Yeah." "Living in the house is gonna be a blast." "What about Jen and Grams?" "Well, I love them both but I need a life." "Jen and I have been doing this Will  Grace thing for far too long." "We just need a break from each other." "Yeah." "She's made it painfully obvious that she is not fond of the fraternity world." "It's better this way." "Do me a favour." "Sure." "Take care of her for me." "Yeah, absolutely." "Jack." "How are you, man?" "Hey, good to see you." "You too." "Dawson, right?" "Yeah." "How you doing, man?" "Great room." "Yeah." "Yeah, Jack really lucked out." "My own bathroom?" "I've never had my own bathroom." "Gotta watch the hot water." "It doesn't last long in the morning." "You used to live here?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "But I'm moving on to bigger and better things." "How'd I get so lucky?" "Usual way." "A lottery." "We randomly assign numbers and, hey, you came up a winner." "Sweet." "Will this fit your porn collection?" "Yeah." "That's funny." "He's kidding." "That's the beauty of having a single. 1 00-percent privacy." "Hey, you looking for me, man?" "Yeah, give me a hand with this." "Hey, Jack." "What's up, Eric?" "Ready?" "One, two, three, lift." "All right. lt's gonna look sweet in our room." "You guys are rooming together?" "Yeah." "Down at the end of the hall." "Come visit." "Gonna be a major party room." "Yeah, I will." "Hey, you too, Dawson." "Will do." "That's a little weird." "What?" "Well, Blossom is an upperclassman and Eric is a new active, and they're rooming together." "What's that all about?" "Why is that weird?" "Come on, man." "Would you give this room up?" "Audrey." "Table six." "What about it?" "They're not happy." "Can't blame them." "The salmon's gross today." "Sucks to be you." "Hey, gorgeous!" "You never call me gorgeous." "Because you're old enough to be my father, Danny." "How you doing?" "Good, but I need to talk to you." "No." "No." "Here's the first rule." "File it away for when you're running your own kitchen." "When an employee asks to speak with you, say no. lt's easier that way." "What are the chances that the question will actually yield positive results?" "You know Ephram?" "The guy with the prison tattoos." "Had to 86 him." "How come?" "Back in prison." "Seriously?" "Yep." "Guy's a freak." "But, man, is he a genius with bread." "Good stuff." "An idiot savant." "Moment of silence." "Okay, I need a new bread baker, which is where you come in." "Me?" "Yeah." "Bread is an art." "You're gonna take a step towards becoming that artist." "Think you're up for it?" "I sense doubt." "But, Pacey, you're good." "You are good." "You the most gifted culinary freak I've ever had the fortune to stumble across." "A bit rough around the edges, yes." "But the Force is strong in you, kid." "I'm serious. I don't know what I'd do without you around here." "Danny!" "Coming!" "To be continued, okay?" "What's up with you?" "You look all perturbed." "l do?" "Yeah." "Something wrong?" "No, it's nothing." "Order up." "Jack left this behind." "It must be the work of the devil." "It's had me under its spell for two hours now." "So how was registration, Dawson?" "A little weird." "l don't really fit in there." "Why?" "Because I'm not really that mad at the government I don't smoke clove cigarettes and I don't know enough about the French New Wave." "You'll just have to show them a thing or two, won't you?" "That's right." "That's right." "Grams?" "I...." "l just wanna say, I.... lt's gotta be weird for you seeing Jen and me together." "Under your own roof, no less, and I just, I...." "l want you to know that I think your granddaughter's amazing." "That's very sweet of you, Dawson." "And" " And you're right." "It has been a bit strange." "But I'd like to think I've come a long way over the past few years with Jennifer's help." "Once upon a time, I couldn't even say the word " penis."" "You know, it would.... lt would be fine by me if you never said it again." "Can do." "Whatever ground rules you decide to set, I promise to abide by them." "Dawson, you are just about the nicest young man I know." "With the exception of Jack, of course who we all know will never make an honest woman out of my Jennifer." "All I ask is that you be kind to each other." "You'll never hear so much as a peep out of me." "Deal?" "Deal." "Speaking of Jennifer, she's on the radio right now." "Meryl, you're on the air." "First of all, Jen, I just wanted to say I think you're doing an awesome job." "Thank you." "Second of all I've been dating the sweetest guy for three months now and everything's been awesome, but all of a sudden he started...." "Pulling away?" "Totally." "Yeah." "Well, it's been three months." "The honeymoon period's coming to an end." "What can I do?" "I feel for you, I really do, and I wish I had some sort of magical answer but the harsh reality is that there is no Santa Claus professional wrestling is fake and eventually, one way or another, men leave." "There must be something you can do." "Well, frequent sex usually helps, for a while." "Keeping some things to yourself is actually really good but unless you have a proclivity for other women  the best way to deal with men is the same as any other major disaster.." "You gotta know what's coming, and you have to be prepared." "Hold the line." "During the break I'll supply you  with a list of essential reading and viewing materials." "Jennifer." "Always had quite a flair for the provocative." "Yeah, she has." "l am certain she doesn't really believe all that." "She's probably just fanning the flames of popular culture." "Yeah." "Don't believe the blurbs." "They're all bought and paid for." "You wrote this?" "Shameless, isn't it?" "Assigning my own work." "That's the only way that monstrosity has stayed in print all these years." "Go ahead, read the first one." ""A whiz-bang ride through the twisted soul of--" Neal Pollack?" "Wait a second, as in--?" "The greatest living American writer?" "Absolutely." "Relatively meaningless, since I happened to be sleeping with his stepdaughter at the time." "So she's the girl in the book." "How do you know there's a girl?" "There's always a girl in the book." "You're getting a little too sassy for your own good here." "Pretty soon, you'll have all the boys in my class flirting with you..." "...not that it's any of my business." "So, what's it about?" "Well, a bunch of friends, living together, sleeping together sleeping with each other's friends." "It's very incestuous." "Featuring, of course, a thinly-veiled version of me when I was 20." "You wrote this when you were 20?" "Yeah, a pretty disastrous haircut, huh?" "But you know what they say." "It never hurts to remain on a first-name basis with the person you used to be." "Otherwise he, or she may come back to haunt you when you least expect it." "And don't stay up all night reading it, please." "Hey." "Hey." "So are you gonna tell me what's wrong or am I gonna have to punch you in the face?" "How are you so sure something's wrong?" "Well, because usually you're so high energy which can be annoying, but I have to say something." "High-energy Pacey is way cooler than sullen Pacey." "I got offered a job." "So that's a good thing, right?" "Yes, it is most definitely a good thing." "At another restaurant?" "No, on a boat." "A restaurant on a boat?" "That's weird." "No, a " boat" boat." "The kind that sails around the world and takes me." "I get it." "Sorry." "What's the problem?" "That's your thing, the "young man and the sea" routine." "Thanks for making it sound stupid, but it is my thing." "And I am ecstatic at the prospect of getting out there." "But...?" "But I'm having a bit of trouble broaching the subject with Brecher." "Why?" "l have the sneaking suspicion he's gonna be disappointed in me." "Why, because Civilization can't function without you?" "No, he's taken a lot of time and energy..." "...to teach me what he knows." "So stay." "This is an opportunity I've waited for." "So go." "I'm always amazed by what a help you are, Audrey." "Listen." "Pacey, sailing out into the great wide open it sounds like an awesome opportunity." "If that's what you want to do, you should do it." "You looking for me?" "Yeah." "What's up?" "Listen, is there any--?" "Any reason you decided to give up this room?" "Not really. I just wanted a change of scenery this year." "You okay?" "Look, when I joined this fraternity, I was hoping to blend in be one of the guys." "I don't want special treatment." "Jack, you're one of us." "No one thinks of you as being different." "Really?" "Then why didn't anybody want to room with me?" "Jack, we're glad you're here, seriously." "I'm serious too, Blossom." "Come on, man." "What's the story here?" "Okay, look." "Originally, you were assigned a roommate and he was a little uncomfortable about rooming with you." "And I thought I needed to be sensitive to this guy's feelings." "But by the time he came to me, people were already settling in so it was too late to rearrange everyone." "This seemed like the easiest solution." "Yeah." "It's Eric, right?" "It doesn't matter." "It was too late to rearrange everybody and it's unusual you rooming with a freshman, right?" "Jack, I'm sorry." "All right?" "I'm sorry." "I really didn't see this coming." "All right, I'll...." "l'll catch you later, buddy." "Hey, Danny, look, I need to talk to you for a second, okay?" "I gotta meet the butcher." "Give me a couple minutes." "This is important. I need to talk to you for one second." "All right, kid, you got two minutes." "Okay, this is very hard for me to say to you, but...." "You're not gonna quit again, are you, kid?" "Out with it." "Remember how I was working on a yacht in the Caribbean?" "Vaguely." "l've been given that opportunity again." "That's great. I'll miss you, but it's easy to find summer help." "Not for summer, for right now." "" Now" now?" "Yes, like, three days from now, now." "So, this is what you want?" "Yeah, this is what I've always wanted." "Well, hey, good for you, kid." "I'm really sorry I gotta give you such short notice" "Don't worry about it." "It's a small price to pay for the opportunity of a lifetime, right?" "All right." "Hey, hey!" "We're losing another one, guys." "The kid is off to better things, so let's give him a proper send-off." "And that's about it." "I gotta go meet the butcher but if I don't see you, kid, good luck out there." "Congratulations." "Thanks." "So how did he take it?" "He was really great about it, actually." "l don't know why you're so surprised." "What do you mean?" "I don't know why you're surprised he was great." "People that care about you just want you to be happy, right?" "Well, yeah, of course, but l-- l don't know, I just- l expected him to be more" "Disappointed." "Right." "Maybe you just wanted him to be a little bit more disappointed." "Not that you would admit it, but did you ever think that you might actually like it here?" "I mean, this restaurant, this city, this pathetic, yet undeniable thing..." "...you've got called a life here?" "Yeah." "All of which pales in comparison to the view from the deck of a yacht in the Caribbean." "All right, all right." "You're gonna make me seasick." "And then, of course, I mean, there is that other reason too." "Oh, yeah?" "What's that?" "You totally want me." "Audrey, if you're attracted to me, you can just say so." "We don't have to play all these childish games." "Pacey, you're really nice and everything, lt's just that...." "l don't know, you're kind of boring." "Boring?" "I'm boring?" "You think I'm boring?" "It's hard to explain." "The "walking on water" thing doesn't do it for me." "I'm not boring." "Did you ever think you might not actually be my type either?" "No!" "No?" "No." "Guys don't have types." "Of course guys have types." "Do we not have feelings?" "Pacey." "Yes?" "I have boobs." "You would sleep with me." "No. I don't think that I could, actually." "Erectile dysfunction?" "No, not erectile dysfunction." "You're just too bawdy for me." "Bawdy?" "You make it sound like I'm Bette Midler." "Well, hey, if the shoe fits." "You want a ride home?" "Yeah, actually, that would be nice." "I think someone's trying to get your attention." "Really?" "How do you know?" "Well, she's either trying to get your attention or mine, which means she's either got really crappy taste in men or she's a really smart lesbian." "Really?" "And who is she?" "She is just a friend." "l see." "Still want to give me that ride?" "Not so much, no." "Thought so." "But I will." "No, don't worry about it." "I'm all about the cab these days." "Listen." "Be careful use redundant forms of birth control, and don't push her head down." "Girls don't like that." "You think?" "Good night, Pacey." "How are you?" "Good." "Wanna go?" "Okay." "Hi." "Hey." "What's going on?" "Not much, just sitting here thinking." "Waiting for you." "So you were listening, huh?" "l was." "Yeah." "Actually, a lot of people were." "Producers seem to think I'm Boston Bay's answer to Carrie Bradshaw." "They want to give me my own radio call-in talk show about relationships." "That's great!" "Yeah, it is." "So why don't you say it, Dawson?" "Why don't you just go ahead, and let's get this over with, okay?" "Get what over with?" "Whatever it is you've been sitting out here cooking up to tell me." "Jen, I was sitting here hoping that you'd wanna go out with me for a while." "We spent more time together when I was living somewhere else." "Well, I told you this morning." "I'm really busy." "Okay." "But this is it, okay?" "I am who I am, Dawson." "Jen, I'm not gonna fight with you." "What does that mean?" "I'm not your other boyfriends." "I'm not gonna fight, I'm not gonna lie, and I'm not gonna cheat on you." "I'm gonna go to the movies." "All right?" "If you want to come with me, it'd be great." "If not, I'll see you when I get home." "Because I will come home." "I'll keep coming home no matter how hard you push me away." "You can either take my word for it or you can keep on testing me but either way, Jen, the results are going to be the same." "He hits the point after." "The Redskins, 14...." "So this is the room I was supposed to be in." "It's not bad." "Who told you?" "No one. I figured it out." "Look, try to understand." "I mean, you're a cool guy, obviously." "Okay, I just didn't know if I was gonna be comfortable around somebody so openly gay." "I understand completely." "Besides, I'd probably try and convert you." "Make you dress up in tight designer clothing." "Plus, there's hidden messages in that disco music we love so much." "Don't do this, man." "Do what, Eric?" "I haven't done anything but try and fit in and you're making me feel like some kind of quarantined freak, man." "Jack" "No, just forget it, all right?" "You don't need to explain yourself." "You know what?" "You're right. I don't." "Okay, I don't want people thinking that I'm gay." "Okay?" "What?" "Why not?" "Because...." "l don't-- l don't know." "I don't know." "I guess because I'm a bit of a homophobe or something." "Look, if you ever want to have a real conversation my door is always open." "But otherwise, you have a nice life." "Waitressing is a bitch!" "Nice entrance." "My feet feel like one enormous blister." "I told you not to wear those shoes." "Okay. lt's official." "You do know everything." "How was work?" "Can I tell you later?" "I'm too tired to think." "Audrey, has it escaped your attention that this is my bed?" "Can I help it if this is the one closest to the door?" "No." "We can't both sleep here together." "Sure we can." "It'll be the most action this bed's ever seen." "For your information, I got asked out today." "Of course, you said no." "Of course." "Because you're long-suffering and insane and fixated on Dawson." "How dysfunctional do you think I am?" "One lithium pill away from Girl, Interrupted status." "The thing that stopped me from accepting a very tempting offer today was the fact that the boy asking was one of your conquests." "What conquest?" "Elliot." "Elliot Sawyer." "You met him at the Boston Bay party." "He's cute and blond, has this Crispin Glover thing." "That guy?" "I didn't sleep with that guy." "Audrey, I ran into him leaving our room the next morning." "Well, yeah." "Because he was nice enough to walk me back here." "As soon as he found out you were my roommate he was yammering on about how wonderful you were and, eventually I just fell asleep in a nauseated stupor." "The romance pretty much ended there." "Yeah, "Oh."" "You could have mentioned this sooner." "l would have if I'd known how cute you thought he was." "Remember when Leon got us into a bar fight in St. John?" "Yes." "And you were so drunk and you still managed to talk the cops into not throwing us in jail." "Well, I am quite the charmer." "That must explain how a spoiled little rich girl like me ended up fraternizing with the help." "I do seem to recall a lot of fraternizing." "I'm glad you're going back out there, Pacey." "How come?" "You were so sad when we got back." "So restless." "The proverbial fish out of water." "l felt bad for you." "You felt bad?" "I don't know. I think I've actually done pretty okay for myself." "Thanks." "Well, that's how I like to think of you:" "On a boat, with a fantastic tan, in your Hawaiian shirt." "A margarita in one hand and" "And the other hand?" "I don't know. ln the general vicinity of me maybe." "That sounds like the greatest Jimmy Buffett song never written." "So, what about you?" "What about me?" "Well, don't you ever dream of getting away from it all?" "Hopping on a sailboat and not looking back?" "Yeah, I do." "All the time." "But I won't." "I know it. I've got this life here." "I've got school, friends." "I guess I'm sort of putting down roots, you know?" "Yeah." "But I'll tell you right now, Pacey when I am old and grey, last summer is one of those things that will make me smile time and time again." "Yeah." "Me too." "Tell me about this guy, the one that it didn't work out with." "How about I don't, and we do this instead?" "Hey." "Morning." "You going somewhere?" "Yep." "Con Law." "Wanna come?" "No." "But hold on, I'll walk you out." "There's a great little Bagel Stop" "No, no. I'm already late." "How do you do that?" "What?" "Look so beautiful in the morning." "I don't think there's soap in my shower." "Well, I've gotten used to roughing it with you." "Well, last night was pretty great." "That's an understatement." "You make a man wanna stay onshore for a while." "Oh, and ruin my perfect sailor-boy fantasy." "lt was good seeing you, Mel." "You too." "Have fun out there, okay?" "l will." "Promise you'll call next time you wash up in Boston?" "Yeah. I promise." "Bye, Pace." "The soft-bristled number 60, right?" "You noticed." "Could you please not leave those dried-up clumps of shaving cream in the sink?" "I can do that." "You know why I wear makeup?" "Acquiescence to images presented in a male-dominated media?" "Yes my little feminist boyfriend, that's-- That's very correct." "Because when I was a little girl, I learned that I should hide and that I should cover myself up, and that that was protection." "Do you know how weird it is to live with somebody to be with somebody, who, no matter what you do can always really see you?" "lt's a little scary." "lt's a lot scary." "Does it help if I remind you how much I like what I see?" "Yeah. lt does." "Thank you for my new toothbrush." "Dawson." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Hi." "Hi." "Are you lost or something?" "Yeah." "All these dorms look alike." "l live over in" "Yeah. I know." "I guess I just-- l wanted to say something." "Okay." "Well, it's funny." "That night, that night that we met it's sort of taken on this mythic significance it really shouldn't have." "I mean, a lot of weird things did happen but a lot of other weird things didn't." "Yeah, I was...." "l was waiting on a friend." "Kind of." "But that doesn't mean that I don't want to make new friends." "So I guess I was thinking maybe we could start over." "I mean..." "Look, I never slept with your roommate." "That is what this is about, right?" "Yeah." "Basically." "Do you wanna go get some coffee or something?" "I've got a class." "Not really. I just wanted to see if you'd be disappointed." "So that whole thing that happened the other day in Wilder's class..." "...that was really embarrassing." "Yeah. I know." "It took a lot of work to make it come out that way." "What's that?" "Your keys." "l don't think I should stay here." "Oh, come on, dude." "Don't do this." "l'm not quitting the fraternity." "I just don't think I should live here under these circumstances." "See you guys later." "Hey, Jack." "Jack." "What?" "Listen, man." "Look, I'm-- l'm really sorry." "You know" "All right." "You don't want the world thinking you're gay. I understand." "Jack, look." "The last thing I want you to do is leave, okay?" "Look, if you still wanna room with me, I'm really cool with that." "You sure about that?" "Yeah." "This whole thing has been a real eye opener for me." "Let me think about it, okay?" "All right." "You know where to find me." "Okay." "All right." "Howdy, sailor." "Hey, Audrey." "How was your dangerous liaison, the well-bred blond?" "Good in the sack?" "You really wanna know?" "No." "Gross!" "I was just being a pain in the ass." "And a fantastic one at that." "Hey, are we gonna have to take this outside?" "No." "You would wipe the deck with me." "That would interfere with my packing." "Pacey?" "Yes?" "Really." "Come outside for a second." "So when were you planning on telling us you were leaving?" "Thank you so much, Audrey." "You never told me it was a secret." "Well, I never told you it wasn't either." "Whatever." "l don't have time for semantics, Pacey." "Here's the deal, guys." "We're not here to talk you into staying if that's what you're worried about." "No, actually, that's not" "We thought we'd only have you for a limited time anyway." "And, to make a long story short, we're happy for you, Pace." "We know that this opportunity means so much to you and so we got you this." "It's just a little something to remind you of your friends back in Boston." "That's beautiful." "lt was Dawson's idea." "ln case you get lost out there." "Thank you." "This is a truly beautiful sextant." "But I can't accept it." "Yes, you can." "No, no. I actually can't because..." "..." "I'm not going anywhere." "You're not?" "No. I'm staying right here." "Why?" "Not that we're complaining or anything." "Right." "Yeah." "What he said." "But why?" "Well, because Boston ain't half bad." "And for the first time in my life, I don't feel like I have anything to run from." "And because Civilization won't survive without me." "Let's not forget that you want me." "Well, that goes without saying." "This is good." "This is good." "This is very good." "I'm happy about it." "But unfortunately, now I find myself without a place to live." "You know there's always room for one more at Grams' house." "Thank you, but no, thank you." "Well, face it, Pace." "You're stuck with us." "Yes, I am." "You band of brigands." "Stuck." "Here I am."
