00:00Are you kidding me, man?
00:04Luke...
00:06I am your father.
00:08You see?
00:10You're monopolizing what's passing, poor Breeze.
00:14Dawson...
00:15This is gonna go down as one of the most abysmal movie nights ever.
00:21Care to elaborate?
00:22Well, look around you, my friend.
00:24We're two happening young guys in the prime of our lives
00:27who can't find anything better to do than sit in some sweatbox
00:30in the middle of an armpit-staining Indian summer
00:33and watch old movies.
00:35And correct me if I'm wrong, Dawson,
00:37but didn't we used to have a couple of really cute girlfriends?
00:40That was a long time ago, Pace.
00:41In a galaxy far, far away.
00:46I can't wrap my head around this film noir stuff,
00:49which is making it really difficult to turn out a paper on it.
00:52Well, of course you can't wrap your head around it, Dawson.
00:55Excuse me?
00:56Well, what we're watching here is the cinema of cynicism.
00:59No self-respecting son of Spielberg would feel comfortable
01:03in a morally ambiguous world populated with hard-boiled antiheroes
01:07and duplicitous femme fatales.
01:09You know, can we just reschedule those for a little joust, Pace?
01:11It's a little too hot for Spikey for my birthday.
01:18But this right here?
01:19This is celluloid a fellow like me can relate to.
01:23Pacey Witter is nothing if not the walking, talking embodiment
01:26of the fallible protagonist.
01:29Okay, Johnny Antihero, explain to me this.
01:32How can this guy not know that this woman is setting him up
01:36for a fall of epic proportions?
01:38Because, Dawson, not all of us are as immune to the lure of sex as you are.
01:44I mean, not all of us would opt for the warm and fuzzy
01:47emotional connections over those of, let's say, a more physical nature.
01:52You know what I mean?
01:53Most of us are just big, dumb guys happy to sell our souls
01:57for the slimmest chance of getting some.
02:00Can I quote you on that?
02:02Oh, yeah.
02:03Witter, two Ts.
02:05Fun time's over.
02:07All this rapid-fire deconstruction is making me weird, Leary.
02:10I think I shall retire to cooler climes,
02:13namely, the air-conditioned interior of my pops' squad car.
02:18Like this?
02:19Mm-hmm.
02:43It's that police?
02:45Yeah, I'd like to report a possible robbery.
03:13Hiya, Dawson.
03:43The voice inside my head is telling me to run like mad
03:50Oh, bows and arrows, stars and sunsets
03:55Hey, hey, hey, yeah
03:57Hey, hey, hey, yeah
03:59Every heartbeat, every kiss
04:03Just makes me wonder
04:06What all this is
04:08Suits of armor, parts and arrows
04:12Hey, hey, hey, yeah
04:18Okay, explanation.
04:20Ouch!
04:22Thanks to your nosy neighbor antics out there, Dawson,
04:25I fell down and went boom.
04:27Kiss and make better?
04:29I just called the police, they're gonna be here any minute.
04:32Okay, I'll spill.
04:35We didn't want you to find out this way, Dawson,
04:38but me and Jen were having ourselves quite the torrid limbo affair.
04:43Sleepovers, late-night pillow fights,
04:46brushing each other's hair to clean each other's arms,
04:49all that groovy stuff you girls do in pretty pink rooms behind closed doors.
04:54There was a breaking, there was an entering, and there was a flash.
04:57All that's missing is a ski mask.
04:59Good God.
05:00Not even the suggestion of teen lesbianism can get you off my case.
05:05Can't we just, like, make out or something?
05:10Let me cancel your queries about it.
05:12Either you tell me your version or I tell the police mine.
05:15Fine.
05:16Do what your big, bleeding heart wants, Dawson.
05:20But here's a filthy four-letter word for you.
05:22Don't you dare blush.
05:24PSAT, baby.
05:27Don't you remember where you were when the cataclysmic PSH scandal of 99 went down?
05:33I for sure do.
05:34Is that some sort of threat, Eve?
05:36I ought to remind you, you're the one who actually stole the test.
05:39And may I remind you that you're the one who gladly accepted my trial offer.
05:44So feel free to get all boy-scatty on me, Dawson.
05:47But you should know,
05:49I'd get quite the perverse little thrill out of making things profoundly uncomfortable
05:54for you and the rest of the sweet-belly high-extras you call your friends.
06:16My sincerest apologies.
06:19I thought I saw something next door, but it was actually just...
06:22just, uh...
06:23Jen...
06:24sneaking in the window so as not to disturb...
06:27perhaps.
06:30You sure about that, Dawson?
06:33Yeah.
06:34Yeah, just...
06:37Okay, then.
06:53I...
07:07I saw this article in this magazine once,
07:11where they put this thing up in the sky so the kids studying astronomy could...
07:15could track something during the night, and I think that is it.
07:20Or maybe that's it.
07:22What, you expect me to believe there's some sort of...
07:25giant disco ball orbiting the Earth?
07:28Okay, when you put it like that, it sounds kind of stupid.
07:32Maybe we should start thinking about getting out of here.
07:35I don't think so.
07:36Not before the main event. Come on.
07:38We got the stars, we got the moonlight.
07:42It's perfect.
07:44Yeah.
07:45Lying in the grass on a hot Indian summer night with your gay best friend.
07:49That's your definition of perfect?
07:52Girl could do a lot worse.
07:54Come on, Jan, I know you too well.
07:56You can't tell me there isn't someone else that you'd rather be stargazing with.
08:01Okay, you got me.
08:04Matt Damon.
08:06Yeah, right.
08:07What, you don't approve?
08:09Alright, I'll have to go with Ben Affleck then.
08:11Well, he's got that scruffy, indie cred appeal.
08:16Well?
08:18No comment.
08:19Besides, I was talking more about the realm of the, say, possible.
08:24Henry, for instance.
08:27The freshman?
08:28Yeah, the guy paid 500 bucks just to kiss you.
08:32You gotta admit that's kind of sweet.
08:35Jack, Jack, Jack, my naive little pet, it's the sweet ones that you have to watch out for.
08:41They'll run over you like a Mack truck.
08:43Yeah, well, Henry's harmless.
08:45Besides, he worships you.
08:47He's a teenage boy, he'd worship anything in a Wonderbra.
08:51Besides, I'm already sleeping with the best looking guy on the football team.
09:00And best friends are nothing to sneeze at.
09:06God, I remember when I first met Joey and Dawson.
09:11So envious of what they had and all that history.
09:17And that whole boyfriend-girlfriend thing kicked in.
09:23See, that's what's so great about us.
09:25Sex will never come between you and me.
09:29Oh, no!
09:31Oh, no!
09:35Jack, Jack, get the shoes, get the shoes!
09:39Get the shoes!
09:47Not so tough now, are you, homecoming queen?
09:51Look, you guys, this one's the perfect...
10:18Come on, Potter, take a break, hydrate yourself.
10:21No, thanks, I'm fine.
10:23I insist.
10:24It would look very bad for the Logan family if you got a heatstroke and died on me.
10:29It's nice to know you care.
10:37I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
10:39I'm sorry.
10:40I'm sorry.
10:41I'm sorry.
10:42I'm sorry.
10:43I'm sorry.
10:44I'm sorry.
10:45I'm sorry.
10:48How can it possibly be this hot at 7.30 in the morning?
10:59Is this going to fan your delicate sensibilities?
11:04I'll probably swoon with excitement.
11:07But seeing as though I need this job to support my sister and nephew,
11:11I will just choose to look the other way.
11:16So, Potter, what do you say?
11:19You and me in the movies tonight?
11:21Oh, Joy, is this the part of our workday where you get inappropriate?
11:25That depends on what your answer is.
11:28My answer is, ask me again in two years when I am legal.
11:32You watch, Potter.
11:33Some other lucky little lady's going to take me up on this offer,
11:36and you're going to be green with envy.
11:40I think I can live with that possibility.
11:46Stop it! Stop!
11:48It's just water.
11:50Stop it! Stop it!
11:52Come on, what are all teenage girls as uptight as you?
11:55No, just the ones with half a brain.
11:58You can't be...
12:13You say this girl is a very close friend.
12:16Very close, yes.
12:18And yet you don't have the slightest idea where she lives.
12:21Oh, I'm sorry, kid, we're closed.
12:25I'm not here for the revelation,
12:28so I'm actually looking for a girl I go to school with.
12:30She used to work here.
12:32What's the name?
12:34Whitman. Eve Whitman.
12:36She's tall, leggy, blonde,
12:39genetically engineered to corrupt the male species.
12:42Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, young man,
12:45but I think somebody's playing games with you.
12:47What do you mean?
12:48Kid, how old are you, 16?
12:50Yeah.
12:51If you're 16, that means you're underage.
12:54And if you're underage, you would never be permitted into my establishment.
12:57And if you're going to school with one of my girls,
12:59that means you'd be underage as well.
13:01So, what can we take away from today's tutorial, huh?
13:07There is not, there was not,
13:09there never has been an Eve Whitman enrolled at Caveside High.
13:14Come on, come on, let's go, Rick.
13:16Let's see what we have to practice in this heat.
13:19It's going to violate like a thousand child endangerment laws.
13:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, talk to the hand.
13:24Listen, we're late.
13:26Big bad Mitch is going to kick our door.
13:30Don't look.
13:32She's coming, she's coming this way.
13:34Just act normal.
13:36Henry, when she comes back,
13:38Henry, she's coming this way.
13:40Just act normal.
13:42Henry, when she comes over here,
13:44just ask her out already, okay, because this is ridiculous.
13:46It's not that easy.
13:48Okay, you don't know how hard it is for me to talk to her.
13:51Look at her, look, she's like this perfect thing.
13:56She looks good in that.
13:57You should see her in town.
14:00Boys, do I have good news yesterday, man?
14:03Right outside.
14:04Want a lick?
14:06No, thanks.
14:08Uh, um.
14:15No?
14:19Okay, suit yourself.
14:21I'll see you later?
14:23Bye, Henry.
14:25Um, you see, you see what happens to me?
14:31Why I can't ask her out?
14:33She gets within three feet of me
14:35and it's like my hard drive crashes.
14:38I go pre-verbal.
14:40Probably if I asked her out, I'd hurl her over
14:42like that little kid in South Park.
14:45Okay, so what if you didn't have to ask her out?
14:50You mean like you could get her to ask me out?
14:53I'm so down with that feminist stuff.
14:56Henry, I'm good, but I'm not that good.
14:58No, what if your first date was like, um,
15:02was like Kismet?
15:04You know, like fate.
15:06Two people just happening to be at the exact same place
15:09at the exact same time.
15:31Dawson Leary.
15:34Now where are things that go bump in the night?
15:37Anywhere.
15:39I was wondering if I could pose a hypothetical.
15:41Pose what?
15:43I'm working on a screenplay.
15:45It's a film noir piece with a cop protagonist.
15:47I was wondering if I could pick your brain on a few story points.
15:49How can I help?
15:51Well, I could use some help with this procedure, actually.
15:54I'm stuck in the part where the hero is trying to track down
15:57the femme fatale who's all but disappeared at this point.
16:01How would a law enforcement professional such as yourself
16:04go about finding someone who doesn't want to be found?
16:06Well, that's a good question, Dawson.
16:08Now, part of police work is knowing who your enemy is.
16:13So let me ask you this.
16:16Who is this girl?
16:18She's kind of a lost soul.
16:20I mean, she comes off like sort of a wild child,
16:23but there's something really sweet and vulnerable
16:25beneath all her posture.
16:28Laundromat.
16:30Again?
16:31Laundromat.
16:33A laundromat?
16:35Uh-huh.
16:36Really?
16:38Yeah, I know you see Dawson in a small town such as Capeside.
16:42Everybody, except for those with questionable hygiene sensibilities,
16:47of course, has to do their laundry at some point.
16:51So you're saying you're to take out the laundromat.
16:56Exactly.
16:58Here you be lookin'.
17:03Here you be lookin'.
17:09Here you be lookin'.
17:14Here you be lookin'.
17:23Obsession is not a pretty thing, my friend.
17:26I'm not obvious.
17:28What, that we don't know all about Eve?
17:30Yeah.
17:32Let me give you a little life lesson from the Witterwald, Dawson.
17:38There are some women who will come onto the movie set that is your life
17:42and function solely as day players.
17:45They'll show up, they'll know their dialogue, they'll hit their marks,
17:49they'll occasionally steal a scene or two from you,
17:51but they will remain always and forever an impenetrable mystery.
17:56But Eve barged into my life and stirred things up for her own amusement.
18:03Correct me if I'm wrong, Dawson,
18:05but didn't she try to go where no girl has gone before?
18:09Synopsize with me.
18:11She works at a strip club, but she doesn't.
18:14She says she goes to our school, but she doesn't.
18:17She appears, she disappears, she reappears without rhyme or reason.
18:21Who the hell is this girl?
18:23Okay, simmer down, Dawson.
18:26This girl is giving you a meltdown.
18:30All right, here's what I propose.
18:32You and I take a little trip down to the video store.
18:34You want film noir, right?
18:36How about that one with Matt Dillon,
18:38where he has that really outstanding threesome with Neve Campbell
18:42and that chick from Starship Troopers?
18:48Yeah.
18:50Oh, hey, one more thing.
18:51My brother, he, uh, he gave you the laundromat speech, didn't he?
18:56Yeah.
19:13Yo.
19:18Now, Deputy Doug's laundromat theory may be all well and good,
19:24but it's a tad too Andy of Mayberry for my taste.
19:27Given my druthers,
19:29I'd much prefer a share of Dad's dissertation
19:32on how to pin a tail on a suspect.
19:38What you learn, my friend?
19:48Uh, miss?
19:50A little service here, please?
19:52Very funny.
19:53I'm serious.
19:55I got my father's C-Ray cruiser over there.
19:57Could you fill it up for me?
19:59I don't want to get gas all over myself.
20:02I'm on a date here.
20:04So I smell.
20:08Um, you may have gone a little overboard.
20:13Um, you may have gone a little overboard on the CK-1.
20:18Wait till you see her, Potter.
20:20She's a cutie.
20:22About your age, too.
20:24Better dress her, though.
20:26Not so uptight about showing off a little skin.
20:30I'm gonna get so lucky tonight.
20:33Don't tell me you actually found some high school girl
20:35so riddled with insecurities
20:37that she would actually fall for your minor league
20:39that she would actually fall for your minor league
20:41Humper-to-Humper impersonations.
20:51Hey, Joey!
20:53Isn't this great?
20:56I was at the country club today with my dad
20:58because he's thinking about joining,
20:59and I ran into Rob.
21:01I didn't know you two knew each other.
21:03Oh, sure! He went to prep school with my brother, Tim.
21:07So, did you know that Joey and I were friends?
21:10Oh, I had a sneaking suspicion.
21:13After all, it is a small town.
21:17So, Andy, where's moneybags taking you tonight?
21:21All the way down to the Bahamas and back?
21:24No, you know, we're just going to the movies.
21:26It's too hot to do anything else.
21:28Well, almost anything else.
21:32That wasn't a sexual overture, was it?
21:35Shh!
21:36Not the son of the K.I.D.
21:41I'm all finished here.
21:42Great!
21:46Here you go, Potter.
21:48Buy yourself something pretty.
21:53Save it for bail money.
21:58Okay.
22:00Let's see what this puppy can do.
22:06Bye, Joey!
22:27All right.
22:29Tell her how nice she looks.
22:32What a beautiful spot, sis.
22:35Don't puke, don't puke, don't puke.
22:40Henry?
22:42You okay?
22:47Gulf once for yes, twice for no.
22:51Once!
22:53Good, okay.
22:57What's on your head?
22:58Nothing.
23:00Jen?
23:02Yeah?
23:03You...
23:05You're awesome.
23:07You look awesome, you smell awesome.
23:10Everything about you is awesome.
23:14I just, I wanted you to know that.
23:20Good to know.
23:23So what are you doing here?
23:26Hanging out, you know.
23:29Same thing you are, just, just hanging out.
23:32Actually, I'm just waiting for Jack.
23:35Oh, well, Jack couldn't be here tonight, see,
23:38because he had these other plans.
23:41Important plans, so, so he sent me instead.
23:45Okay, I think I know where this is going.
23:49Continue.
23:51Um, that's, that's it.
23:53Out with it, Henry.
23:56Well, I guess he thought if you were here and I were here,
24:01and we were both...
24:04Here.
24:05Here, together,
24:07that it would sort of be like a date, you know,
24:09like our first date.
24:11Henry, I know that you're new at this,
24:13being all of, I don't know, what, 14?
24:1615.
24:17Okay, 15.
24:19Dating is a consensual activity
24:21that usually involves some sort of prearrangement.
24:24Next time, don't skip the part where you ask me.
24:54And the plot thickens, my friend.
25:22Ah.
25:51Ah.
26:08So, where are you going?
26:11Why, you daft man.
26:13I'm going after her.
26:14That girl is in dire need of follow.
26:16Good, now you go follow her.
26:17I'm going to stay here and check out that boat.
26:19Sure, now you're thinking worse.
26:49Hands up.
26:55You're under arrest.
27:08Dawson Leary.
27:10Why am I not surprised?
27:14Let me guess.
27:15Research for your screenplay.
27:17No, friend of mine lives here.
27:19This friend wouldn't by any chance
27:21be your mysterious femme fatale, would she?
27:23No.
27:26Lord, is that a, I'm afraid, just a friend.
27:29Ah, funny.
27:30Never figured you for the type to be, uh,
27:33pals with octogenarians.
27:36Come again?
27:37That boat on which you are very much a trespasser
27:40belongs to a Mr. and Mrs. Paul Stepmunk.
27:43Sweet little couple,
27:45somewhere in their late 80s.
27:49Oh.
27:50Yeah, oh.
27:55Dawson, the, uh, Stepmunks are big fans of Capeside,
27:59but only in the summertime.
28:02They spend the rest of their golden year in New York City.
28:06I must have clambered aboard the wrong boat, then.
28:09Maybe you did clamber wrong.
28:11Then again, maybe your friend
28:13is the one we've been looking for.
28:15What do you mean?
28:16A couple of weeks ago, somebody stole a speedboat
28:18from the marina and took it for a little joyride.
28:22A speedboat, really?
28:24You wouldn't know anything about that, would you, Dawson?
28:29No.
28:31Why would I?
28:33Look, Dawson,
28:37I know that you're a good kid,
28:40but something is going on with you.
28:45All of a sudden, you're the boy who cried 911.
28:50You pose thinly-veiled hypotheticals
28:53to an officer of the law.
28:56And all of this somehow evolves
28:59around some mysterious femme fatale,
29:03which, of course, begs the question,
29:07Is there something you have to tell me, Dawson?
29:13Deputy Doug in the house!
29:17Oh, I should have known.
29:19Wherever there's smoke, there's my imbecilic little brother.
29:23Doug, if I've told you once, I've told you a million times.
29:27Despite his dapper, gack-clad appearance,
29:30my friend Dawson does not play for your team, okay?
29:34You're just gonna have to find another date to the policeman's ball.
29:37Little brother, your obsession with my sexuality is just plain weird.
29:44Look, do I have to talk to Dad again? Huh?
29:47Doug, it may not be today, and it may not be tomorrow,
29:52and it might not even be the day after that,
29:54but one of these days, you're gonna go to your mailbox
29:57and open it up, and that Advocate cover story will be yours.
30:01The copy's gonna read,
30:03Good cop, gay cop.
30:05The Dougie Witter story.
30:07And I'm telling you, Doug,
30:09we are gonna be so proud of you.
30:12Truly proud.
30:17I am not gay!
30:20Now, both of you, off this dock now.
30:23I mean it.
30:26So?
30:28Ah, she's squirrely, that one. Lost me like that.
30:55Oh my God, Joey! What are you doing here?
31:16Well, it doesn't matter. Come here.
31:18Isn't this amazing? Me, on a date with Rob Logan.
31:21Senator Logan's son. I mean, his parents are loaded.
31:23Not that that matters, but it doesn't hurt either.
31:26And he's so cute!
31:28Slow down, Andy, okay?
31:30Um, Rob Logan is not a nice guy.
31:34And since I started working for him,
31:36my life has become one gigantic leer fest.
31:40He's a creep to an exponential degree.
31:43Okay, Joey, this may come as a surprise to you,
31:47but not everybody minds being looked at as a sexual object.
31:53The guy hits on me daily in a wide variety of creative and not-so-creative ways.
31:58My first day, he walked in on me while I was changing my clothes.
32:02Why are you trying to ruin this for me?
32:05Look, I'm not trying to ruin anything.
32:08I just thought you should know what kind of a guy Rob Logan really is.
32:13Joey, guys is hardly your area of expertise.
32:18I mean, between Dawson and my gay brother,
32:21I'm sorry, but it's true.
32:23I mean, you're not exactly sophisticated when it comes to dealing with guys.
32:30Get a grip, okay? It's not about me.
32:33Yeah, it is, Joey.
32:35I mean, you're still fixated on Dawson,
32:38and you're so closed off to any new experience
32:41that a guy so much as looks at you, and you freak out.
32:44Joey, staying home every Friday night isn't going to bring him back.
32:49And going out with a nimrod like Rob Logan is a recipe for recovery?
32:54Andy, if you think this little escapade is going to help you get over Pacey, you're...
32:58Joey, I'm moving on with my life.
33:01Somehow I thought you, of all people, would understand that and be happy for me.
33:10I guess I was wrong.
33:20Oh, excuse me.
33:22Sorry.
33:26I was getting worried.
33:28You missed the previews to Dancing Candy.
33:30Sorry, Longline.
33:32This is going to be great.
33:36Excuse me.
33:38I'm coming for you.
33:40All right.
33:42Sorry.
33:46Joey, what are you doing?
33:49These are great seeds.
33:51Regular or diet, I couldn't remember, so I got these.
33:54No, get out of here. Now.
33:57Andy, in the light of the day, you can psychoanalyze me all you want,
34:01but I am not leaving you alone with this guy.
34:06What the hell's going on here, Potter?
34:09Do you like nachos?
34:11Personally, I find them to be one of the more disgusting innovations in movie food.
34:15I mean, all this congealed stuff, it's not even cheese.
34:19You know, it's kind of cheese food.
34:22Here, try them.
34:28I'm sorry, I didn't know.
34:35All this is comic gold, this stuff.
34:41Goober?
34:46There's ice cream in the freezer.
34:52Oh, yeah.
34:54Ever since I started playing football, I've been eating out of the house and home, huh?
34:57No problem.
34:59I just wish I felt a little more like I was earning my keep right now.
35:03But you are. You are making my granddaughter happy.
35:06Happier than I've seen her in quite a long while.
35:10Jennifer, you scared me half to death.
35:13I'm sorry, Graham's getting surprised really sucks, doesn't it, Jack?
35:17Jennifer.
35:18This is between Jack and I.
35:21So, how does it work?
35:23Do you take cash? Credit card?
35:25And is it just Henry, or am I going to have to service the entire football team?
35:29Calm down. You're overreacting.
35:31Which one of you is going to tell me what's going on here?
35:34I'm going to tell you.
35:36Which one of you is going to tell me what's going on here?
35:40I just thought I'd do a favor for a friend, so I set him up.
35:44I thought it would be romantic.
35:46About as romantic as a card, Jack.
35:48Jenny's just a kid.
35:50He's a nice kid, and he likes you.
35:52Yeah, he's a real nice kid. He stares at me like I'm a pornographic fantasy come to life.
35:56That's because he's infatuated with you.
35:58Well, I'm not infatuated with him, and I told you that a thousand times, and you didn't listen to me.
36:03You took his side.
36:05I didn't take anybody's side.
36:07I just wanted to get your little football buddy lucky.
36:12Well, sorry.
36:23What the hell are you doing in my room?
36:25I want my picture back.
36:27I want some answers.
36:30Fine, Dustin. What would you like to know?
36:33I'd like to know why every single word out of your mouth has been a lie.
36:36Why are you claiming to be a high school student, and you're not?
36:39Why are you living in a yacht that doesn't belong to you?
36:41I want to know, once and for all, who you are.
36:46You have every right to ask those questions, Dustin, and I promise you the answers are forthcoming.
36:51I'm sick and tired of being toyed with.
36:53Ever since you slam-danced your way into my life, I wrecked my father's boat.
36:57It's always so worth every penny, and you know it.
37:00It's been one disaster after another.
37:02I turned a dork into a stud in a matter of weeks.
37:05And this is my thank you note.
37:08Where's the love?
37:09The GR and I so hip in amoral routine is really old.
37:14Is that what you think I am? Amoral?
37:16You're a criminal.
37:17Sticks and stones, Dustin.
37:20Now give me back my picture.
37:22If for the last time, what were you doing in Graham's house?
37:26Looking for something to steal.
37:28To get bus money out of here.
37:30They're satisfied?
37:33Now give it to me.
37:36Not until you tell me how a faded old snapshot could mean so much to someone as cold and attached as you.
37:50You're right, Dustin.
37:53I never was the student.
37:57You are.
37:59Not mine.
38:01I was just sort of squatting.
38:06And that girl is my mother, Dustin.
38:09The one I've never met.
38:12The one I'm trying to find.
38:15And that picture is my only clue.
38:25Fuck, Alyssa.
38:28Okay, let's see. Where to begin?
38:32How about last Christmas as I was rummaging around in the attic, looking for some wrapping paper,
38:38I found the photo in question of the girl that bears me an uncanny resemblance.
38:44What did you do?
38:47I asked my folks, of course.
38:49And?
38:51Painted into a corner, Mom and Major Dad finally told me the truth.
38:56That you were adopted?
38:58That's right.
39:00Numerous calls. We have a winner.
39:02What did you do?
39:05Nothing.
39:07Very strangely, I had no angst whatsoever.
39:12It was only after that it kind of crept up on me that I had this estrogen-charged urge to seek out the missing pieces of the puzzle.
39:22Which brings you to Cape Side. Why?
39:25All I know about my birth mother is that she lived somewhere in this part of the country.
39:30Near the ocean. So I've been traveling up and down the eastern seaboard asking questions along the way.
39:38Hoping to get lucky.
39:39What happened?
39:43Depends on what you mean.
39:46No, Dawson. I haven't found her.
39:50Not yet, anyway.
39:52And not here.
39:54Which means it's time for me to move on.
39:58And so ends another installment in my melodrama.
40:02It's more movie of the week than film noir.
40:04With an edge.
40:05A lot of edge.
40:10I don't know.
40:13You've called me gullible, but it's time I actually believe you.
40:23Thanks, Dawson.
40:26You're a hugely sweet boy.
40:29And you're right.
40:31I play with you.
40:33I do that, I guess.
40:35I move into a new town and chances are I'm not staying forever.
40:39So I play a role.
40:41That way no one can get close to me.
40:44And believe me, most guys are content with me the actress.
40:48But you dug at me.
40:51You wanted to see inside my screwed up little soul.
40:56Well, I mean.
40:58Once you get past the lying and the stealing and the using sex as a weapon.
41:05There's a lot of good stuff in there.
41:10I hope so.
41:12There's a lot of good stuff in there.
41:17I hope I haven't done anything irredeemable.
41:22Because I'd like to think you'll remember me once in a while and smile.
41:27Well.
41:29My father's bow will always elicit at least a giddy grin of three.
41:33See? There you go.
41:35Maybe I'll even get a footnote in the unauthorized biography.
41:40Just my war and a whole chapter.
41:48I'll be checking the credits for you, Dawson.
41:52Take care of you.
42:10Should I just follow my sword now or wait until the battle's over?
42:16What do I care?
42:18Either way you're dead, man.
42:22Look, uh.
42:25This whole Henry thing.
42:28You got it all wrong, okay? I didn't do it for him. I did it for you.
42:34I'm serious.
42:37I just wanted to show you that the things that you want are there for the taking.
42:44If you just, you know, believe you deserve them.
42:48You don't get it.
42:51This was our place.
42:53Yours and mine. Doesn't that mean something to you?
42:56Of course it does.
42:58But don't you want more?
43:02Not from us.
43:07Jack, uh.
43:10I've had lovers. I've had boyfriends.
43:13But what I've never had is a boy who was first and last a friend.
43:20Who wasn't secretly trying to get in my pants or wouldn't walk away from me the second I said I didn't want to sleep with him.
43:28Who liked me.
43:31For me.
43:37Unless you've recently decided to be bisexual.
43:45You know, I think that you setting me up was a lot more about you than it was me.
43:51Come on, give me a break. I do not have a secret crush on Henry Parker.
43:57Neither do I, but that's not what I'm talking about.
44:01I mean, maybe it's you who's lonely for the relationship.
44:12Maybe I am.
44:16But this isn't exactly New York where gay kids are tripping over each other coming out of the closet.
44:22This is Capeside. Gay population is one.
44:26It's me. I'm it.
44:28I'm it.
44:33You're going to have a real life.
44:36You're going to have a fantastic real life.
44:38And it's going to be awesome and terrifying and when it happens it's going to change your whole life.
44:52Yeah, it's easy for you to say.
44:54I know it is.
44:59You just, you have to have faith that sometimes things happen when they're least expected.
45:15See what I mean?
45:28Hey.
45:37Hey.
45:38Hey.
45:39Uh, step-daddy's not here yet.
45:41Guess I kept him out pretty late last night.
45:44Okay, nothing happened.
45:47And not that you deserve an explanation, but right after the movie he walked me to my front door and he was a perfect gentleman.
45:54Yeah, he's a prince alright. Prince of darkness.
45:58Hey, Rob.
46:00Sucking off on the job again, father?
46:03You know, Joey and I just, we all talk.
46:07Yeah, I know.
46:08So last night, quite a threesome. Only next time I want to be in the middle.
46:14It was kind of an unexpected pleasure though. I mean, I assumed you were working.
46:18Don't we usually stay open until eight on Fridays?
46:21Nobody ever comes in after seven, you know that, Rob.
46:24Just answer the question, Potter.
46:30Yeah, we usually stay open until eight on Fridays.
46:34You're fired.
46:37What?
46:39You heard me.
46:41I'm in charge here and it's unacceptable for an employee to close early without my permission.
46:45Oh yeah, and that's really why you're firing me, Rob.
46:48Spare me the adolescent mini-drama, Potter. You're fired because you closed early. End of story.
46:54Joey, um, she can explain. I mean, this is all just a really big misunderstanding.
47:01Don't bother, Andy.
47:03Nice working with you, Potter.
47:08You know what, Rob?
47:10The day your out-of-whackle beetle lands you in so deep that not even daddy can save your ass,
47:16don't call me as a character witness.
47:20Rot in hell.
47:36Oh, my word, beware of heretics bearing air conditioners.
47:43My father's orders.
47:45He wanted me to take this extra hours over to you.
48:13Mrs. Wright, who's that in the picture?
48:16Oh, that's our Lord Jesus Christ, as interpreted by one of our gifted young Sunday school students.
48:22I meant the one below it.
48:26That's my daughter, Helen.
48:28She came to be in more than 18 there, as I recall it was right before she went away to college.
48:36So that's James Bond.
48:39So that's James Bond.
48:41I have only one daughter, Dawson Leary.
49:09I have only one daughter, Dawson Leary.
