00:00What's that? The look? Deer standing in the road of senior year, caught in the headlights of college
00:07indecision? I'm seriously considering just running away and joining the circus. Well, what do you say
00:15we keep that one as a fallback, okay? Now I know this college application process can be pretty
00:22daunting, Joy, but you are well ahead of the game. Except for Williams College, I'm
00:30missing your peer recommendation from the person who knows you best.
00:37Right. You've got the easy part, you just have to pick someone.
00:46It's not going to be a problem?
00:48Huh? No, I was just kind of hoping to take a vacation from large choices that carry even larger consequences.
00:58Okay, try this. Close your eyes. Just humor me.
01:06Okay, clear your mind of everything. It's just air up there.
01:21Okay, now picture the question. Who is the person that knows you, Joey Potter, the best?
01:32Okay, open your eyes.
01:40Do what you see.
02:32You know, lugging your literature to and fro is getting tiresome, I feel. Oh, well pardon me if
02:46I'm not in a rush to hit those high school halls and be stared at like some kind of social leper.
02:52It won't be like that. Oh, come on. I mean, can't you hear it? Oh, there's that really smart girl
03:00who almost kemmed herself to death inside the inflatable fun house.
03:04Andy, if our high school didn't have a history of forgiving stupidity,
03:08how do you think I'd be able to walk down the halls, huh?
03:14You know, you guys have been really good about coming to visit me, but you've all been alone.
03:20Nobody's talking about the other night, and no one's talking to each other.
03:24Well, yeah, we're not the most huggy of groups right now.
03:29I mean, our previously fractured circle of friends has just gone and fractured itself again.
03:34You mean Jen and Jack?
03:36No, I mean everybody.
03:37That's ridiculous, because we all talked about this.
03:41Well, you talked about it. I mean, you gave me the whole two to tango speech,
03:44but so far as I can tell, every tango needs someone to lead.
03:47And why is everybody so insistent that that person has to be Jen?
03:51I told you, it's not her fault.
03:57Okay, I'm going to fix this. I'm just going to get a hold of her and...
04:02Honestly, why, Andy? I mean, maybe not all friendships need to be saved.
04:07You know, maybe we're meant to just spend a certain part of our lives with certain people
04:13and then move on. Isn't that what this whole year is supposed to be about anyway, moving on?
04:17Oh, you see, we can move on without moving away from each other.
04:25Well, maybe we can't.
04:42It's about damn time.
04:46Mr. Brooks, you're a heaping praise for a job well done gets for a young man's head.
04:51Two things about that statement trouble me, Mr. Leary.
04:54You used the word well and the word done.
04:57Well would imply that your brush strokes don't streak all to hell,
05:00and done would suggest that your work here is complete,
05:03neither of which could be further from the truth.
05:07Cheap paint applied by even cheaper labor
05:09wouldn't even come close to covering the cost to repair what you and your friends did to my boat.
05:15I understand that from your point of view, what we did was...
05:18Illegal.
05:19Right.
05:20But look, it was a matter of life and death.
05:23Well, compared to that, what's the little matter of whitewashing my fence?
05:28Well, there's the issue of my untouched applications for higher learning.
05:34Believe me, Mr. Leary, from my observation, it isn't going to be all that high.
05:39The thing is, I just don't have the time.
05:42You're a resourceful lad, after all.
05:44You found time to steal a boat when you needed to.
05:47Now, if you want me to honor my promise not to press charges,
05:51you need to honor yours by working off your debt.
06:11What do you smell?
06:26Rough skin, questionable odor.
06:29If I were a betting woman, I'd say my least favorite person on earth.
06:32Wrong.
06:34It's me.
06:35Drew, I thought that you and I had come to some sort of understanding.
06:38And what understanding might that be?
06:40That the best thing that you could do for me
06:43and the rest of civilization would be curl up and die.
06:46Normally, I'd welcome a round of banter,
06:47but I think there's something we need to address.
06:50I've been getting the vibe from your friends
06:51that they think I'm a bad influence on you.
06:54I can't have them not wanting to play with me.
06:56How will I occupy my time?
06:59Drew, because of you, my friends aren't even speaking to me.
07:02Not even the precious Jack?
07:05That is none of your business.
07:07Right.
07:08It never makes business a pleasure.
07:10And nothing gives me more pleasure than to see you
07:12and the rest of your buddies all conflicted.
07:14Frankly, I didn't think it would actually be this easy.
07:17Yet here you are, avoiding all of them and talking to me.
07:21Starting to feel just like old times, huh?
07:23This is nothing like old times, Drew.
07:26No, no matter what or who you did,
07:29I've always been there with you.
07:31Not pretending to be and then judging you afterwards.
07:35You say the same about your new friends?
07:40I can say this much.
07:43I don't care if every friend that I have in Capeside
07:45never speaks to me again.
07:47I will not look to you for solace or support, ever.
07:50And just remember, Jerry,
07:52that which does not kill me makes me more diabolical.
08:09Hey, how do you sell your breasts?
08:25I was wondering where you were.
08:34Don't mean to interrupt, but Pacey, what day is it?
08:37Thursday.
08:38And Thursday is?
08:40The day after Wednesday.
08:42Cute. I'd like to see how cute you are
08:45when you find out there's nothing left to eat
08:46but junior mints and stale cookie crisps.
08:49Because Thursday is the day a certain sibling
08:53is supposed to remember he's on grocery duty.
08:57I got the keys, but not the door.
09:00You want the list?
09:02Not right now.
09:03Hmm.
09:08The list.
09:09Don't believe a word she says, she lies.
09:12Goodbye, Pacey.
09:19Tell me everything before the enemy returns to camp.
09:24Actually, Gretchen, there is something
09:27that I've been meaning to ask.
09:30What's up?
09:32How'd you manage it?
09:33What's that?
09:34Avoid college application dysphoria.
09:38You know, you might be dating one, Joey,
09:40but you still can't outwitter a witter,
09:42especially an older one.
09:45What do you mean?
09:46Avoidance.
09:48You've had something on your mind
09:50ever since you waltzed in here.
09:52I finally got it down to a subject,
09:54but I still need the text.
09:55So spill.
09:59Okay, I'm one recommendation short
10:02of finishing my application.
10:05Williams.
10:07That's great.
10:09You haven't heard the punchline yet.
10:12It's a pirouette to be written by
10:14the person who knows me best.
10:18Ah, and the plot thickens.
10:23So have you asked him yet?
10:25Who?
10:27Dawson.
10:29Dawson?
10:33Well, see, if I ask Dawson,
10:37not that I'm going to,
10:38but if I do ask him...
10:39What about Pacey?
10:41Exactly.
10:43What about Pacey?
10:45I mean, no matter which one I ask,
10:47somebody's going to get hurt.
10:48But that person shouldn't be you by default.
10:52You've got to be a little selfish here.
10:55And they want the person who knows you the best,
10:57not the person you happen to be dating.
11:00So you're saying I should ask Dawson?
11:03No.
11:04I'm saying you should answer the question.
11:11Absolutely, darling,
11:12but the doctor doesn't think
11:13there's any good chance for me later on.
11:16No, darling, please.
11:18Yes, no.
11:19I could flip to something else,
11:21something you might actually want to watch.
11:25It's pretty obvious, aren't I?
11:27Forget everything.
11:29No.
11:30Fact of the matter is,
11:31I'm not really watching it either.
11:38What?
11:39What is it?
11:41I've been watching you this past week and thinking...
11:48I've made a lot of mistakes with this family.
11:51I want to fix that.
11:52You don't have to.
11:53I spoke to Principal Peskin this afternoon.
11:55You have more than enough credits to graduate,
11:57and now with your early acceptance to university,
12:00all that you really need to do is walk come June.
12:03So...
12:05What would you think about taking the rest of school year off?
12:09To do what?
12:11Get a job?
12:13You know, that's not exactly what I had in mind.
12:18I was trying to remember
12:20the last time I saw you relax.
12:24No responsibilities, no burden, no worries.
12:28And then, I remembered your face
12:32that summer in Florence with Aunt Georgia.
12:36There was this market.
12:37Yeah, in that square by our flat.
12:39And you were just running from cart to cart,
12:44charming everyone.
12:46Come on, Dad, I was 11.
12:48It was more than that, Andy.
12:50You were free.
12:53Are you saying that I should go to Italy?
12:57Georgia says she'd be delighted to have some company.
13:00And you're always talking about spending time in Europe.
13:05I don't know if I...
13:08Andy,
13:12the next four years
13:15are going to be even more intense than the last four.
13:18Trust me.
13:20This might be your only chance
13:24in your whole life.
13:27For an opportunity like this.
13:34Think about it.
13:47You got mail?
13:57You can't keep avoiding her.
13:59I can try.
14:01This is Jen Lindley that we're talking about?
14:04I know.
14:05I don't know what you're trying to do, Andy,
14:07but right now, I'm not willing to have this conversation.
14:12Okay, so Dad wants me to take the rest of the year off.
14:15How's that for a conversation?
14:17Off, off of what?
14:18Off of everything.
14:23I mean,
14:23we haven't made any final decisions yet.
14:26Hold on, so you get all the perks of senior year at Capeside
14:30with no homework.
14:31Where do I sign up?
14:33Actually, I wouldn't be in Capeside.
14:38I'd be in Italy.
14:41In Florence, to be exact.
14:45You live with Aunt Ji?
14:46Wow, we haven't seen her since, um...
14:49Forever, I know.
14:51I remember how much I'd left it.
14:53I'm sorry, Andy, it just sounds like you'd be running away.
14:58From what?
15:01You tell me.
15:03You've been looking forward to senior year,
15:06anticipation that often pours in fright,
15:08and you've been looking forward to the end of it.
15:10And you've been looking forward to the end of it.
15:12And you've been looking forward to the end of it.
15:14That often pours in frightening,
15:16and then here it is, and you want to leave,
15:18and you stay, and you have six months of zero responsibility,
15:23surrounded by family and friends.
15:25Yeah, friends who can't even stand to be in the same room with one another.
15:29That's exactly my point.
15:31I mean, do you really want to leave
15:32when you're the only one that everyone's still talking to?
15:35Jack, you make it sound like there's no valid reason for me to go.
15:40I always pictured you as a girl that
15:42didn't just go to the last party of senior year,
15:49but through it.
15:52You'd leave and miss the end of this, all of it.
15:57It's not something I thought you'd ever do.
16:04Then again,
16:07I guess I've been
16:08making that mistake about a lot of people these days.
16:29Jen, thanks for coming down.
16:32Yeah, no problem.
16:34This is Officer Morris from Juvenile Correction.
16:38What's up?
16:41I had to tell them.
16:44They've been naughty, naughty kids, Jen, and frankly, we need help.
16:49Sure, what are you telling?
16:50What's best.
16:53I told them all about our mutual experience with ecstasy,
16:56and how we both contributed to the delinquency of poor Andy McPhee.
17:01Have a seat, Jen.
17:02Listen, you can't believe a word that this guy says.
17:10He's just a victim.
17:12Drew had finally cleaned up his act.
17:15Does anybody want to hear my side of the story before handing down a sentence?
17:19It's not about punishment, Jen.
17:22It's about prevention.
17:27Are you guys actually buying this crap?
17:29Jennifer.
17:30Are you saying that we don't have a past speckled with recreational drug use?
17:37I'm saying that I don't have a present.
17:42Gramps, please, you know me.
17:45Ask.
17:46Jen, I've admitted to my part.
17:49I mean, I admit that I gave you the drugs.
17:54Somehow they got from your hands to Andy's nervous system.
17:58I mean, do I fib?
18:01If I may point out that by coming forward with this information,
18:06my son has clearly demonstrated that he is ready to tackle his past indiscretions.
18:11I think we all appreciate Drew's forthcoming nature.
18:17And in recognition of that, I think this can all be handled with 100 hours of community service.
18:26Excuse me.
18:35So we'll meet up later.
18:37Discuss which part of the community is most in need of servicing.
18:46So do I start packing my bags immediately or should I wait until after dinner?
18:52Gramps, will you listen to me, please?
18:53I am so, so sorry.
18:56I do not want to have this conversation, Jennifer.
19:00I thought we had a relationship based on honesty and truth.
19:06I will not yell.
19:07I will not punish.
19:08Scolding is for children.
19:09And Jennifer, you are no longer a child.
19:12I wish to God you were.
19:13Maybe then there'd still be time to write whatever it is that is wrong with you.
19:17I have never, in all my life, been so deeply disappointed in anything or anyone.
19:28I don't even, I don't even have the words.
19:47Hey.
19:56I got your email.
19:57I'm surprised.
19:58I wasn't sure if you were ever going to write back.
20:01I didn't.
20:04Well, if you didn't, then...
20:05Yeah, Andy.
20:10You probably figured it was the only way to get the two of us to break our code of silence.
20:14Well, that would require both of us wanting it broken.
20:17Look, I didn't email you.
20:18I don't have anything to say to you.
20:22Come on, Jack.
20:22What do you want?
20:24You want to just be angry, fine.
20:26But, I mean, at some point, you're going to have to tell me how to fix this.
20:31You want me to say sorry?
20:32I have.
20:34I've apologized for making a mistake, for poor judgment.
20:37I've apologized for things that I don't even think were really my fault.
20:41I'm 17, and I just, I did something stupid.
20:46But when you're, when you're close to somebody, and they do something unexplained or out of
20:51character, you don't, you don't just abandon them.
20:56You, of all people, should understand.
20:59It's killing me what you're doing.
21:02You may not ever do what I did, but what you're doing right now, I can tell you, I would never
21:07do to anybody.
21:08Especially you.
21:18There, we talked.
21:20Now, do you get it, Andy?
21:22Nothing you can do is ever going to fix this.
21:38Hey.
21:40Hey.
21:42Need some help with that?
21:44Yeah.
21:46Yeah.
21:48Yeah.
21:50Yeah.
21:52Yeah.
21:54Yeah.
21:56Yeah.
21:58Yeah.
22:00Yeah.
22:02Yeah.
22:04Yeah.
22:07Yeah.
22:13Something tells me you didn't come all the way over here just to help me carry paint.
22:17So, did you finally realize how wrong it is I've been working off our debt to Mr. Brooks
22:21all by myself?
22:23Me and my yacht club employment are forever in your debt, Dawson.
22:27Right, right.
22:29I'll put them on your tab.
22:37Ah.
22:39So, uh,
22:41are you gonna ask me?
22:43Ask what?
22:47You've got your favor face on.
22:49I do not.
22:51No, you've got your I'm lying face on.
22:57Okay, um,
23:03it's, uh,
23:07here.
23:09Person who knows you best.
23:15Wow.
23:19Wow.
23:21You said that already?
23:23Yeah.
23:25I thought it had more impact the second time.
23:31So, what do you think?
23:34What do you think?
23:36I think that
23:38I want you to say that you'll ride it for me.
23:40Are you sure that I'm the right person?
23:44Does Pacey know about this?
23:46No,
23:48but if you say yes, he will.
23:52Are you the right person, Dawson?
23:54Well, you are the only person who knows
23:56that I have a favor face.
23:58I'm just asking
24:00that you ponder the possibility, okay?
24:02And if you do decide to ride it,
24:04then
24:06you are the right person.
24:12Okay.
24:22He keeps a secret
24:24so he doesn't even
24:26tell himself.
24:28He keeps the ringer off
24:31and doesn't hear the telephone.
24:33Could he know
24:35a pretty girl could mess him up?
24:39And he wants to know
24:43more than anything
24:45he wants to know.
24:49Mr. Leary!
24:51Does she like to starve to death?
24:53You better get in here!
24:57She brings to anything
24:59and keeps her out of loneliness.
25:03Pretty, pretty girl meets guy,
25:05how could they know
25:07two wrongs could never make a right?
25:09Who's in here?
25:11Two wrongs could never
25:13make a right.
25:17Love finds a way
25:23to give a way.
25:25This is really good.
25:28I got one of them.
25:30One of who?
25:32One of those teenagers who can't stand a moment
25:34of good old-fashioned silence.
25:36If the dinner table was meant for talking,
25:38they'd close the talking table.
25:40You know what?
25:42I'm gonna take this inside.
25:44Oh yeah, well that's why your friends never come over here
25:46and help you.
25:48You don't face your issues, Leary.
25:50You just take them outside.
25:52If you keep doing that, you're gonna end up doing a hell of a lot more
25:54than just painting alone.
25:58What about you?
26:00You've got a whole wall
26:02full of photographs, full of people
26:04who I've never seen before.
26:06Who are they?
26:08I mean, you want to critique my photography
26:10saying I didn't have enough life in my pictures,
26:12I would say you've got the opposite problem.
26:14What are these pictures in your life?
26:18My brothers.
26:2030 years ago,
26:22they came to me asking for money
26:24to start their own business.
26:26I was screaming no.
26:28Didn't feel right.
26:30Timing was not the best, but they needed me.
26:32And even though your guts said no?
26:34No.
26:36Invested a lot, business lost a lot,
26:38and so did I.
26:40As you take on yours, Mr. Leary,
26:42you'll come to realize that
26:44you don't always lose people
26:46from your life by choice.
26:48Sometimes that just happens.
26:52Then you make the wrong ones.
26:56Hey.
27:02Hey.
27:04Hey, I got some AP English here
27:06with a side of calc.
27:08Oh, thanks.
27:10Uh...
27:12Pacey,
27:14I have a secret.
27:18And I know that we haven't shared
27:20one of these in a long time,
27:22but I really need to tell you
27:25or I'm gonna burst.
27:27Sure thing. What's going on?
27:29Okay, um...
27:31My dad suggested
27:33that I take the rest of the school year off.
27:35Yeah.
27:37That I go to Italy
27:39for six months
27:41and see my aunt.
27:43Well, that's...
27:45quite an offer.
27:47Yeah.
27:49And I know why he's making it.
27:51I mean, obviously, because of last week,
27:54he's worried, but...
27:56also, we talked about it.
27:58You know, I mean,
28:00we really talked about this,
28:02and...
28:04it's just different this time.
28:06So what does Jack have to say about all this?
28:08I thought he was gonna be
28:10the first one to volunteer
28:12to help me pack up, right?
28:14But instead, he gives me all these
28:16sound arguments and reasons
28:18for why I should stay.
28:20You know, he left once, too.
28:22He moved across town, not across the world.
28:26So my father wants what's best
28:28for my health.
28:30My brother is being selfish out of love.
28:34And do you want a tiebreaker?
28:36Come on, Pacey, you've done it before.
28:38In fact, you almost made a hobby
28:40out of saving this damsel in distress.
28:42I didn't save you.
28:44You saved yourself.
28:46You just took me along for the ride.
28:48Then why can't I save myself now?
28:51Why am I making this decision so hard?
28:53You know, maybe Jack is right.
28:55Maybe going to Italy is running away.
28:57From what?
28:59From everything.
29:01Taking the easy way out.
29:03Packing up when life hits a rough patch.
29:05Or...
29:07maybe this is exactly what you need.
29:09To have the strength of will
29:11to take off the training wheels
29:13and try riding on your own
29:15for a while.
29:17I don't know
29:19if I can do that, Pacey.
29:21I mean, a lot of what's been
29:23happening is because of me
29:25and what are people gonna think if I...
29:27Andy, you can.
29:29You spend way too much
29:31time worrying about everybody else.
29:33We all do, but at the end of the day,
29:35it's your life.
29:37It's not your dad's. It's not Jack's.
29:39It's not mine. It's yours.
29:41And you get to live it.
29:43So you are the tiebreaker,
29:46Andy.
29:52Hey, we can help
29:54build a new community center for kids.
29:56Just shut up, Jer.
29:58Jenny,
30:00this little rift of ours troubles
30:02me so.
30:04I mean, I felt that we were growing apart
30:06and we needed to spend some quality time together.
30:08And I can only help
30:10a dream of us
30:12picking up pieces of trash on the roadside
30:14while that city-provided orange jumpsuit
30:16would just hug you in all the right places.
30:18Jer, you forget that I
30:20know you.
30:22And you did this to look better to everybody else
30:24and protect that inner Iago of yours.
30:26But I think that you'll find
30:28that no amount of apologizing
30:30is good enough for these people once they've made up
30:32their minds about who you are.
30:34These people have no idea
30:36who we are, Jen.
30:38That's what I've been trying to tell you.
30:40These are not your people.
30:43And all the capes I will ever be for you
30:47is your past.
30:53Hey.
30:55Hey.
30:57Well, you look like you're getting your color back.
30:59Yeah, I think I am.
31:01Everything seems to be
31:03going okay around here now, huh?
31:05What do you mean?
31:07Like you and Jack.
31:09Things are
31:11okay between you guys now, huh?
31:13Yeah.
31:15Yeah, they are.
31:17I mean,
31:19if you and Jack can work things out,
31:21then why can't Jen
31:23and Jack, right?
31:25Or Pacey and Dawson, or any of us,
31:27really.
31:29All it takes is
31:31realizing what you risk losing
31:33by letting someone go.
31:41Hey.
31:51Hey.
31:53So you're plowing through tonight's reading as per usual?
31:55Try last night's.
31:57I thought I'd catch up, but Mr. Copeland
31:59in room three, he has a tendency to break
32:01out in song while bathing.
32:05The seat's not taken.
32:07Uh, it's okay.
32:10I can't stay.
32:20Well,
32:22either you're a very fast writer,
32:24which I know not to be the case,
32:26or
32:28you come bearing bad news.
32:30I just, I've been
32:34thinking about it since then
32:36and he asked me, and
32:39the answer just keeps on coming
32:41back the same.
32:43I'm not the right person
32:45to write this.
32:47Not anymore.
32:57You did what I asked. You, um,
33:01you thought about it, and
33:05I thank you for that.
33:07Sorry.
33:21Awesome.
33:27So, playdate?
33:29Not exactly.
33:31Uh,
33:33Ace, I asked Austin to write a pre-recommendation
33:36for me. He said no, so it's really nothing.
33:42Well, that's not nothing.
33:46The nothings you tell me about, it's the somethings
33:48that you keep secret.
33:50I know this tone, and it signifies the start
33:52of a really nasty conversation, but you know what?
33:54It takes two to have one, and I'm not up for sparring.
33:56Not over this.
33:58Ah, so
34:00now you get to decide what it is that we talk through,
34:02but you also get to decide what it is that we let slide, huh?
34:04Were you ever gonna tell me about this?
34:06It's been hard to tell you much of anything this week.
34:08Never around.
34:10Okay, look,
34:12if you were angry with me for how much time
34:14I was spending with Andy, you should—
34:16Ace, Pacey.
34:18It's not it, okay?
34:20I was just waiting to see
34:22if he'd agree to do it in the first place
34:24before starting world war
34:26where are we now, 15?
34:30And if you're upset that I asked him, Pacey,
34:33it's because
34:35it was the question.
34:41You know,
34:43third grade,
34:45Dawson was there when I broke my left arm
34:47jumping off Peter Masick's backyard swing.
34:49He was there
34:51the night I came home early
34:53from Lake Emendale because I was homesick.
34:55And he was there
34:57the day that I had to wear
34:59that horrific training bra
35:01for the first time
35:03and the day that my mom passed away.
35:05You know,
35:07he was the first one to come through the door
35:09and he sat with me the whole day
35:11and he never once asked me
35:13how I was doing because he,
35:15unlike everyone else,
35:17he knew me well enough to know that there weren't words
35:19to describe how I was doing.
35:27You see, you really,
35:30Pace,
35:34you can't be angry with me for asking him.
35:38I'm not angry that you asked Dawson
35:40to do something for you.
35:42It's the question.
35:46The person who knows you best.
35:52When do I get to be that person?
36:00Dawson?
36:02You look pretty swank
36:04for fish duty tonight.
36:06Uh, thank you.
36:08Did your mom enlist your services
36:10for this evening?
36:12No. Actually, I'm a paying customer tonight
36:14and I'm having dinner with Andy.
36:16That's strange because
36:18I'm having dinner with Andy.
36:20Really?
36:22Yeah.
36:24I don't know.
36:26I don't know.
36:28I guess.
36:30Let me guess. Dinner with Andy?
36:32Yeah. How'd you know?
36:40Pacey.
36:44What's going on?
36:46Where's Andy?
36:48She's in the bathroom
36:50perfecting the answer to your first question.
36:52What's this all about?
36:54I don't know. Don't shoot the diner,
36:57I don't know.
37:01Hey, guys.
37:03Thanks for coming.
37:05So now that we're all here,
37:07where are we?
37:09You'll find out shortly.
37:11We're just waiting for one person.
37:13Andy, come on. This is...
37:15Oh, wait. Here she is.
37:17Hey, Jen.
37:19We saved a seat for you.
37:21You know what?
37:23I'm not that hungry.
37:26It's obvious that I'm the one that's crashing the party.
37:28I'll go.
37:30I just said I was going.
37:32No, I am.
37:34I'm leaving Capeside.
37:36And, uh,
37:38that's why I asked you all
37:40to come here tonight
37:42to say goodbye
37:44and also there's something that I need to say
37:46to you guys,
37:48all of you, before I go.
37:50So, Jen, Jack,
37:52please stay.
37:56Okay.
38:04You know what?
38:06It shouldn't have taken a scheme
38:08to get you all here tonight.
38:12When my dad
38:14first made me the offer
38:16to take the rest of the year off,
38:18I sat down with my trusty
38:20number two
38:22and made my list
38:24of pros and cons.
38:26The pros were pretty obvious.
38:28Opportunity of a lifetime,
38:30right?
38:32And then
38:34came those nasty cons.
38:36You know
38:38what got top billing?
38:40You guys.
38:42The thought of leaving
38:44all of my friends.
38:46I mean, you guys are the ones
38:48who have supported
38:50and consoled
38:53and understood unconditionally.
38:57But look at us now.
38:59We are a mess.
39:01And let's talk about why,
39:03starting with last week's fiasco.
39:05Okay? Enough with the
39:07blame Jen game.
39:09If I don't, you shouldn't.
39:11Yes, she had them,
39:13but I took them.
39:15It was my fault.
39:17And Pacey, Joey,
39:19Dawson,
39:21you're so lucky.
39:23Do you have any idea
39:25how rare it is
39:27to have friends that you've known
39:29your entire life?
39:31So please don't underestimate that.
39:33Because in the end,
39:35you always go back
39:37to the people that were there
39:39in the beginning.
39:41And in the beginning,
39:43there were the three of you.
39:46And you two.
39:48You know what?
39:50This is just...
39:52It's really inexcusable.
39:56The biggest reason
39:58that was keeping me here
40:00was the thought that
40:02if I left,
40:04you wouldn't have a sister around.
40:06But then I realized
40:08that you would.
40:10When I, uh,
40:12first met you,
40:14I didn't know much
40:16about love
40:18or friendship.
40:20And each of you
40:22taught me a lot
40:24about love.
40:26So maybe by my
40:28leaving,
40:30I can return the favor.
40:34Because the thought
40:36that you would
40:39Because the thought of it ending
40:41like this...
40:43The way
40:45things are right now...
40:49It's just...
40:51It's not how I want to
40:53remember us.
40:57Do you?
41:09Yeah.
41:31Is anybody in there?
41:33Uh, yeah.
41:35And there's only room for one.
41:38Which, I guess, is kind of a recurring theme these days.
41:44He's really sad.
41:46Hold on a second. Let me go first this time.
41:50Joe, I'm sorry for how I reacted
41:52to the whole peer rec thing.
41:54I think it was just kind of a
41:56left hook to the hot button, and
41:58I reacted
42:02like Basie.
42:04You know who that guy you reacted like
42:06is going to be in ten years' space?
42:10The person who knows me best.
42:16The person who knows my past.
42:20My future lies with you.
42:26Think about it. You know, you didn't even like me
42:28three years ago.
42:30Well, you always choose the ones you love.
42:36And you do have to always
42:38deal with the ones that you used to love.
42:44I will
42:46remember
42:48you.
42:52Will you
42:54remember
42:56me?
43:00Don't let your
43:02life
43:05go.
43:09Hi.
43:13Is that the girl that used to tell me
43:15everything?
43:17Is that the boy
43:19that used to listen?
43:23I never stopped listening, John.
43:25I just
43:27didn't particularly like what I was
43:29hearing.
43:31Look, what Andy
43:33said in there, um,
43:37you are such an important part of my life
43:39and I
43:43thought maybe you were changing on me.
43:45I haven't changed, Jack.
43:49I'm still me.
43:51Genuinely a girl who screws up
43:53every now and again.
43:59I'm sorry.
44:03I don't need an apology.
44:07I just need somebody who will stand by me.
44:11Are you willing to do that?
44:15You willing to keep staring at me?
44:18I knew I'd find you
44:20here.
44:24You didn't know me
44:26anymore, Dawson.
44:32The truth is I never
44:34doubted how well I knew you, Joey.
44:38I never doubted
44:40how well I knew you, Joey.
44:44I never doubted
44:46how well I knew you.
44:50I was just afraid of what would happen
44:52if I had to put it all down on paper.
44:58Before you told me
45:02that if I decided to write the
45:04recommendation that I was the right person
45:06for the job
45:10if the offer still stands, I would really
45:12like to do that for you.
45:16I would like that, too.
45:26It's nice to see you.
45:30It gives them something to hold on to.
45:34Well, who do you say you come inside
45:36and help me give us all something to hold on to?
45:46Funny how it feels
45:48You know, uh
45:50this could potentially
45:52be the last time we...
45:54Don't say that.
45:56There's no need for that.
45:58You'll be back.
46:00You know, there's prom
46:02and there's graduation.
46:04And a whole other world out there.
46:06Pacey, you said it yourself.
46:10Is that why you're doing this?
46:12Because of what I said?
46:16No.
46:22Pacey, you gave me
46:24my strength, you know?
46:26The strength to do
46:28things that I always needed to do
46:30but was too afraid to do.
46:34No, I'm sorry. I don't think
46:36that you get to use the adjective
46:38afraid anymore while being
46:40self-referential.
46:42You can now use
46:45brave, and perhaps
46:47occasionally
46:49stalwart.
46:51Stalwart? No, I hate stalwart.
46:53Well, that's too bad.
46:55You're stuck with stalwart.
46:57You know, I think
46:59what we're going to miss the most about you, McPhee,
47:01is just your overwhelming optimism.
47:07Your ardent belief that
47:09everything in the world is wonderful
47:11until proven crap.
47:15Do you think
47:17maybe you just
47:19leave us with a little bit of that when you go?
47:23Well, that's the least I could do.
47:31I'm going to miss you, honey.
47:33Me too.
47:45Honey,
47:47please.
47:49I can't yet.
47:53The only reason that I said that
47:55you shouldn't go is because
47:59I'm going to miss you more than anything.
48:01Good.
48:05I thought about having you around,
48:07having to say goodbye.
48:09Jack, you're my brother.
48:11There are no goodbyes.
48:13Yeah.
48:15I love you.
48:17I love you too.
48:23Okay, everybody.
48:25Let's do this.
48:27We are
48:29on the clock.
48:32I'll miss you
48:34life
48:36as a child
48:42Weep not
48:44for
48:46the memory
48:56Weep not
48:58for
49:00the memory
49:31Weep not
49:33for
49:35the memory
