Nothing.
Nothing. Ah.

You?

Nothing.

God, pacey,
This is weird.

It really is. It's
The damndest thing.

I mean, how are we
Supposed

To have some lurid,
Purely sexual affair

If every time
We get together--

There's no sexual
Tension.
Nada.

Zilch.

Is it me?
If it's me--

No, it's not you,
It's me.

No, no, I mean,
We're both,

We're both 2 highly
Sexually charged people.

Absolutely. Look at
Our track records.
Oh, yeah.

We're all that
And then some,

Thank you
Very much.

And look at the measures that
We've gone through today.

We've come
Properly equipped.

And we've picked
The perfect locale.

Absolutely,
You know,

Dawson -and mr.
-leery

Both at school
For the afternoon,

The window's
Always open,

This was
Sheer genius
On your part.

Grams always said
That that ladder

Was an invitation
To sin.

It's really starting
To get depressing.

All right,
I'll tell you what.

Why don't we
Give it a week?
Keep trying

In the hopes that
Whatever sexual spark

That once flickered
Will burn again.

Whoa, whoa.
Did you just hear

Somebody come into the house?

Whoa, man.

Pacey?

Hey, man.
What's happening?

W--what are you doing
In my room

In the middle of
A school day?

Just playing some
Crash bandicoot.

What are you
Doing home?

I had a dentist
Appointment.

Came back
To get my books.

You, uh,
Have any cavities?

No. How, how did you
Get in?

Is that clock right,
On the vcr?

'cause if it is,
Man,

I should really be
Getting to school.

Aren't you forgetting
Something?

I don't think so.

You sure?

Pretty sure, yeah.

'cause you're
Only wearing one shoe.

Hey.
Oh, my god,

I hope that is not
Your report

On manifest destiny
Because mine

Is only
4 paragraphs.

No, no. Remember
When dawson

Put that story
About me

Joining the
Football team
On the web?

Yeah?

Well these
Are e-mails from
People who saw it.

Oh, jack.
This is amazing.

I mean, look how many
People you reached.

Oh, look,
I didn't exactly
Reach everybody.

Check this out.

"Dear homo,

"Too bad capeside
Didn't make it
To regionals.

"Our linebackers
Are looking forward

To playing
Smear the queer."

Oh, my god.
That's so sad.

I mean, some poor,
Dumb cheerleader

Is wasting all of
Her prime boy-chasing years

On this closet case.

Ok, this one looks good.
"Dear jack,

"Saw the story
About you on the web.

"Have you been deluged
With letters addressed
Dear homo?

"If not, I'm sure
They'll come soon.

"That's what happened
To me

"When I took another guy
To the prom last year,

And the story
Got picked up
By the ap wire."

Who's that from?

Uh, some guy named ben.
Ben street.

"If you ever need
To talk to someone

"Who's been there
And lived to tell,

You can find me
In the pink pages
Under out teens."

Give me that.
Gotcha.

You should
Write him back.

He sounds like
A nice guy.

Yeah, I think
I'm gonna

Write this guy
Back, man.

He's a total
Stranger.

What would I say?

I don't know.
Say anything.

It worked
For john cusack.

Ok, gotta go. Bye.

All right,
Whatever it is,
I didn't do it,

But if I did do it,
I just want you to know

That I take full and
Complete responsibility

For all of my actions.

This isn't a
Disciplinary matter
Pacey. Please.

You're herebecause when mr. Milo

Sent your file
Over to me,

You jumpedimmediately to the top 10

Of my "Most in need
Of guidance" list.

And when I started
Talking to your teachers...

Uh-oh.

You're failing math,
Pacey.

I'm failing?

I'm afraid
The only other grades

You've got going here
Are 4 d-pluses,

And one very lonely
C-minus.

You want to tell me
Why that is?

Just lazy, I guess.

Has there been
Some trouble at home,

Any, any sort of change
In your family situation?

Nope, it's nothing
Like that.

Mr. Milo mentioned
Something

About a girlfriend
Being sick.

She's not my
Girlfriend anymore.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah,
You and me both,

But life goes on,
Doesn't it?

Listen, you think
I could get out
Of here?

I'm probably
Missing a filmstrip
Or something.

You seem like
A good kid, pacey.

Whatever's eating
At you these days,

Don't let it win,
Ok?

Maybe it already has.

Ok, 40,000 hits? I must
Be doing something wrong.

Oh, well, you can't
Do a search

On such
A broad topic
Like democracy.

I mean,
You've got to decide

What you want and
What you don't want,

And, then,
You know, establish
Some restrictions.

Ok. Oh,
So it would be like

If I were searching for,
Say, a boyfriend,

Then I'd want to meet
A lot of people

And, uh, get to know them,

And eliminate the truly
Incompatible ones.

You know, you really
Should have your own
Website--

--www.
-annoyingsister.
-com.

Ha ha ha, jack.
Ok, I really think

That you should
Write this guy ben back.

I mean, he seems
Super nice,

And, you know, he only
Lives 2 towns over.

I mean, you guys could end up
Being friends, or...

Or what?

Or whatever.

Please.

What? You're worried
That he has a boyfriend.

Come on, let me assure you

A lot can happen
Between may and november.

Prom guy
Could be completely

Out of the picture
By now.

Andie. Stop it.

Jack, you have to
Seize the day.

If you don't,
I'll do it for you.

I know your password.

Jack.

What? Someone just
Instant messaged you.

You just hit...

Oh, my god, it's ben street.
It's him! It's him!

Yeah, yeah, I know.
I know. What do
I do here?

How do I make
This thing go away?

You don't make it
Go away.

He's talking to you.
Say something.

Now?

Yeah. He's waiting.

Yeah, but I--
Type.

I--I don't know
What I'm--
Type.

Go on.
All right.

Ok, well, you have
To hit send.

Hey, joey. Joey.

How are you doing?

My, you are looking
Absolutely ravishing today.

Is that a new, uh,
Hair thinga-ma-jig
You got going there?

You need my notes
From today's class
That you missed.

You miss me, huh?

Oh, how could
I miss you?

It's so much easier
To see the board

Without your big,
Fat head in the way.

I need these back
By tomorrow morning.

What's a cosine?

You don't know
What a cosine is?

You're never
Gonna catch up
By mid-terms.

You're absolutely
Right, I'm not.

Not unless,
Of course, you--

Look, I'm not going
To help you, pacey.

I have been
Busting my butt

All semester
While you've been...

Well, who knows
What the hell

You've been doing lately.

I've been busy.

Busy, right.
Pacey, you have

A very undemanding
Part-time job,

Your only familial
Obligation

Is to feed the dog
Every day,

And your social life
Is basically a triangle

Consisting of you,
Me, and dawson.

Ok, listen.
Truth be told?

I'm failing math
Right now. Yeah.

So, if you
Could find it
In your heart

To explain all this
Trig stuff to me,

I'd do anything
You want.

Anything?

Slow, quick, quick.

Good footwork, people.

Ow!

I think you
Should probably

Tell me what
I'm doing here

Before the other
9 suffer
The same fate.

Well, do you expect me
To believe

That you actually
Have control

Over those left feet
Of yours? Ow!

Pacey.

I'm sorry.

Look, every year,
The starlight school

Offers a $1,500
Scholarship

To the high school student
Who best exemplifies

The spirit and grace
Of ballroom dancing.

Now, if you look around,
There are about 6 people here

Who wear their teeth
To bed,

Let alone go
To high school with us.

Which would
Make you, what,
A shoo-in?

Well, I do
Have to complete

At least one of
The 2-week courses.

Why didn't you

Get dawson
To do this with you?

Or jack,
For that matter?

Because they don't
Owe me like you will

After I perform cpr
On your math grade.

So that's
The trade-off.

Mm-hmm.

One study session
For one dance class.

That's the trade-off.

Excellent.

What did I say
About rib cages touching?

And refresh my memory.
Who's leading here?

I'm trying,
But janet reno here

Doesn't exactly
Make it easy
On a fellow,

You know
What I'm saying?

Like you even
Know how, pacey.

You lead.

We'll just give it
The old college try,
Shall we?

Oh.

Don't get too close.

Ow.

Here, this is
Your assignment
For study hall.

I want you to do all
The even problems

On page 107,
And show your work,

Don't just copy
The answers

Out of the back
Of the book.

You know, if I had
Known the sadistic
Pleasure

Were gonna take
Out of tutoring me,

I never would have
Let you had such
Free reign.

Look, we're gonna
Spend an hour

After school
Doing math

And then we're gonna
Go back to--

I--I know. I know.
The starlight
Foundation

For another
Afternoon's torture

At the hands of
Miss penny pretty.

Uh, you do realize,
Don't you,

How absolutely
Imperative it is

That no one,
And I mean no one,

Find out about
Our after school
Activities.

'cause on
The sliding scale

Of embarrassing
And decidedly
Non-butch activities

For a teenage male
To be involved in,

Waltzing is right up there

With painting
Your own pottery.

Pacey? Do you
Really think

I'm eager to have
This information

Disseminated to the general public?

Perfect. Then we're
In agreeance, yeah?

Exactly.
No one
Is to find out.

No one.
Perfect.

Find out what?

Nothing.

No, no, we can
Tell him. It's
Dawson, right?

We were, we were
Just discussing, uh,

The fact that
I am really awful

At home improvement
And decor. Right.

How are you
With a roller?

I can hold my own.

That's fantastic,
'cause the pacey j.
Witter

Memorial addition
To the potter
Family home

Is in desperate
Need of painters
And plasterers,

All union wages.

Count me in.

That's good to hear.
All right. So, joey.

Yeah. See ya.
Yeah, ok,
Let's do it.

Hold on, pacey,
I want to talk
To you a sec.

Yes. I can't talk
At all right now.

I--I'm really
Trying to stay off

Mr. Milo's top 10
Most tardy list.

Can I--can I get you
After school?

Yeah? Ok.

Have you asked about
Prom guy yet?

All right. They were
Never really dating,
Ok?

They just did
The whole prom thing

As a...
As a statement.

Oh, political commitment.
I like that.

In moderation, of course.

Well, what else?

Uh, he's
A saxophonist.

Um, huge
Charlie parker fan.

All-conference
Track.

Hmm, sounds hot.
What's he look like?

Aw, come on.
It's not important.

Well, yeah,
But he saw you

On the web,
In your uniform.
It's only fair.

We're just
Writing here, ok?

It's not like we're
Going on a date.

Yet.

You know, I dated a guy
From the internet once.
Hideous.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna
Get that picture, yeah.

2. One formal,
One casual.

No baseball hats,
Baggy sweaters

Or other articles
Of deceiving clothing.

Jen.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Shouldn't you be out
Campaigning for prom queen?

Very funny, dawson.

No, actually, I'm--
I'm working on

A project
With pacey.

It's a human growth
And development
Thing.

Is he here?

Um, he isn't in
Until tuesday.

But he told me
That he was
Working today.

I must have
Gotten him confused.

That's not surprising,
Considering

What a flake
He's been lately.

Hey, there aren't
Any especially do-able

New faculty members
I don't know about,
Are there?

Pfft. What?

Well, the last time
Pacey was acting
This weird,

I ended up
With taped outtakes

Of him
And miss jacobs

Performing tree surgery
At the ruins.

Wait, you don't,
You don't think

That pacey's
Older woman
Fetish

Has returned
With a vengeance,
Do you?

No, I don't know
What to think.

But you're definitely
Thinking something.

Yeah, I...

Yesterday, I came
Back to my house,

In the middle
Of the day

And I found pacey
Sprawled out on my
Bedroom floor.

Wow. Was he alone?

Yeah, he was playing
Crash bandicoot.

Dawson, I hope
That's not

One of your
Clever euphemisms.

No, it's just a,
Uh, a video game.

Good.

But...

Here's the weird
Thing, all right?

Later that night,
I found a condom
On my floor.

And then,
When I asked pacey

About it
This morning,

He and joey were
Huddled together

Like it was some
Sort of conspiracy.

Has, uh, has he said
Anything to you?

I mean, have you talked
At all with him yet?

No, he,
He took off,

And he's been
Dodging me
Ever since.

Hmm.

Can we take a break,
Please?

We just took a break.
It's no wonder

You're so far behind.
I swear, alexander

Can sit still
Longer than you can.

No, you don't understand.

It's just that,
Recently,

Whenever I crack
A book to study,

It's like
I automatically

Want to be doing
Something else.

Anything else.
I mean,

It seems to me
That under

The previous regimes
In my life,

Every time
I was studying,

I was given a reward.

I offered you
Chex mix.

I'm not talking
About chex mix.

I'm talking about tomorrow,
And I'm talking about andie.

Let's just say
That those 2 ladies,

They trained me to acquaint
Studying with...

With what?

Sex. I equate studying
With sex.

Sex with studying.
Now I get the studying

But no sex.
You understand?

So it's a little hard
To get motivated
These days.

So what you're
Saying is that

You're merely
The innocent victim

In some behavioral
Psychology experiment

Gone horribly awry?

Yeah.

And that you're
Desperately in need

Of some able-bodied
Female

To help you
Provoke those
Pre-conditioned,

Pavlovian homework responses?

Yes.

That is the worst
Pick-up line

I have ever heard,
Pacey.

Thanks, toots,
But I wasn't
Hitting on you.

I'll have you know,
I have my own prospects,
Thanks.

Like who?

You...

For right now,

They would prefer
To remain anonymous.

But let me tell you,
They've made it clear to me

In no uncertain terms,
Should the mutual desire occur,

That they will be
More than willing

To take care of all
My physical needs,
You understand?

So is this a potential
Relationship,

Or are we talking
A free trade agreement?

All right, listen.

If you had
The opportunity

To be with somebody,
No questions asked,

No strings attached,
No awkward first dates,

No waiting by the phone,
No any of that,

Totally on the surface.
100% casual.

What would you do?
Would you go for it?

A totally empty,emotionally unfulfilling

Sexual experience?
That sounds great.

You're not
Listening to me.

I'm being serious,
But it's kind of

A limited time offer.
So I just thought
I'd ask you.

What do you think?

Pacey, I think that
If you really wanted to be

Having casual sex
With someone right now,

You'd be doing it,
Instead of sitting here,

Having a hypothetical
Discussion about it.

That's what I think.

Oh, come on, already.
Yeah.

Ok, all right.

All right, it's,
It's happening.

Ooh, not bad.

You're not kidding.

Jack, did you actually
Express attraction

To a member
Of the male species?

Come on, this
Is completely
Empirical.

I mean, anyone
Would be attracted

To that extremely
Attractive guy.

And I sense a blush?

"So, what do
You think?"

He wants to know
What I think.

Ok, so you
Tell him that...

That you think that he should
Travel 2 towns over.

No, I can't do that.

You can, and you will.

Andie, come on,
This is, this is
Way, way too fast.

Ok, so you
Tell him that

You want to meet
For coffee.

I mean, I can go
With you if you want.

Yeah, that will be
A lot of fun.

Ok, jack. Agree to meet
At some

Very safe, very well lit
Public place.

I mean, it's not
Like we haven't done

An extensive background
Check on the guy

To know that he's
For real.

Yeah, I, but look,
I can't, all right,

Look at me,
I'm shaking.

Fine, jack.
You're just nervous. Here.

Um, the picture was great.
What can I say?

Want to meet tonight
For coffee?

"I thought
You'd never ask."

Oh!

Dawson, I don't know
How the hell

You suckered me
Into helping you

With your centennial
Hitchcock window
Display.

It needed
A woman's touch.

Well, I suppose
That's where pacey

Usually comes in,
Huh?

No, pacey's usually
In the back sleeping
When I'm doing this.

All right.

Oh, maybe he'srediscovered his work ethic.

What do you mean?

Pacey. 2 o'clock.

Is that joey?

Dawson, do you have
One of those

Little signs that says
"Back in 5?"

Yeah.

Ok, so joey
And pacey are
Auditioning

For capeside
Dinner theater's
Version

Of strictly
Ballroom.

Let's get out
Of here, dawson.

Right behind you.

Excellent.
2 more young people

Eager to learn
The sophisticated art

Of ballroom dancing.
And people say

Kids these days
Have no appreciation

For the finer things
In life.

Actually, we're
Not here to dance.

We're just looking
For some friends.

Ok, good. Well,
While you look,
You dance. Ok?

Attention, everybody,

Looks like we have yet
Another set

Of delightful
Young people
Joining our class.

Must be something
In the air.

And what, pray tell,
Are you 2 doing here?

Just enjoying
The fine art
Of ballroom dancing.

Didn't I say
You two would
Be naturals?

Much better
Than these 2,

And they've been
Here all week.

But you used to date,
Didn't you?

Uh, not right now, ok?

I'm right, aren't I?

You dated,
It didn't work out,

But then you got past
All of your issues,

And now you actually
Trust each other, right?

See, you can see that
In the dancing.

You can see that
The trust is there.

Now these 2,
On the other hand,

A whole
Different story.

I mean, look at them.
Look at their form.

Look at the tension
In their arms.

Ok, is there some
Sort of problem here?

Well, what did I say
About rib cages
Touching?

Can we do that?
No, sorry.

It's just not gonna
Happen, all right?

Right. You see
What I mean?

See the hostility,

The way they're wary
With each other,

Not to mention
The constant bickering
And name-calling.

Now, these 2 clearly
Are in the early stages

Of some screwball
Mating ritual.

What?

Ok, you've got it
All wrong, lady.

Really, I do?

Oh, completely.

Actually, you could
Not be more wrong.

Ok, there's enough
Sexual tension here

To power a kiss
Reunion tour.

I can't remember
The last time

I saw dancing
This bad.

True.

Wait a minute,
Just because
They can't dance,

You think
That they're--

Well, it's this theory
That I've developed

Based on years
Of experience.

If people dance
That badly,

Then they're usually
Hot for each other.

The dancing doesn't lie.

All right, people.

Let's take it
From the top.

Hey.

Mrs. Ryan
Let me in.

Is that what
You're wearing?

Good night, andie.

No. I just like you
Better in blue.
You look fine.

Better than fine.
You always look fine.

Marky mark-worthy.

I sense a pep talk
Coming on.

Ok. Jack, look,

I'm your sister
And I love you,

And your romantic future
Is vitally important to me.

Because if I wind up
An embittered old maid,

I'm coming to live with you
And your boyfriend.

So you're fairly certain
That I'm actually gonna
Have a boyfriend?

Sure.

It hasn't occurred
To you

That this whole
Online thing

Could be a complete
Disaster?

Ok, jack,
Worst-case scenario--

You show up,

You meet each other,
You hate each other,

You drink your mochaccinos,
And you go your separate ways.

But that's not
Gonna happen, jack.

I have a really good
Feeling about this.

I'm glad someone
Does.

Jack, there's no need
To be nervous.

Ben obviously likes you.

I don't even know ben.
Ben doesn't know me.

Thus the reason
For having coffee.

Andie,
This is different.

This is a whole new
Level of my life

That I don't even know
If I'm ready for.

When I walk
Through that door

And I say hello
To this guy,

My entire life
Is gonna be different.

I'm not just gonna be
Telling the world
That I'm gay.

I'm actually
Gonna be gay.

Jack...

You'll be gay, anyway.

I mean, if you don't go,

You'll be gay
And without a boyfriend.

Yeah.

Ok?

Ok, people, we're gonna
Play a little game.

I want you to consider this
Musical partners

Instead of
Musical chairs, ok?

I want you two.

You two, you two,

You two.

Thank you.

You two.

What? No.
I think you
Must've meant...

Some sort
Of mistake here.

Come on, children,
Play nice.

Ok. We are going
To dance--

Happily, joyously,
Enthusiastically,

Because we love
To dance.

Now, when you hear
The music stop

And I yell "Switch,"

I want you
To stop dancing

And reach for the nearest
Available partner.

All right?

So when did you
And pacey discover

Your mutual love
Of ballroom dancing?

Obviously, just moments
Before you and dawson did.

I can't get over
How weird it was

To see you in my room
The other day.

What's going on?

What? Not everybody's got
The dazzling array
Of electronics

Available to them
In their bedroom
That you do.

And that's the only reason
That you were in my house

When I wasn't there?

No. No, no.

There's always the lure
Of the leery kitchen,

Which I have to say
Has kind of lost
Its luster

In mitch's reign of terror.

So what was
The condom for?

The what?

The condom I found
In my room.

Switch.

Excuse me
For a second.

We're dead.
He found the condom.

I know. I've already
Talked to him about it.

I wouldn't worry.

Really? You don't think
Dawson's gonna mind

That we've been mapping
Out each other's
Erogenous zones

Between his sheets?

The question's moot.
He's not on to us.

He's not?

No. Well, at least
He's not on to me.

He's cast somebody else
As the female lead.

So when did you
Discover your love
For ballroom dancing?

I read about
Some scholarship

That they
Were having.

Scholarship?

And I needed
A partner, so...

So...Why'd you
Ask pacey?

Why didn't you
Just ask me?

Pacey came to me first.

He needed help with math.
I needed help with this.

That's what friends do,
Dawson.

They help each other.

That's all you guys are
Is friends?

And switch.

Excuse us for a second.

I need to talk to you.

What is wrong with him?

Uh, nothing, really.

It's just, um, dawson
Seems to think that
We're doing it.

What?

Well, you know,
Having sex,

Getting to know each other
In the biblical sense.

Uh...

Pacey, that's impossible.
And he would never think that.

No, not under
Normal circumstances,

But in this case,
I think certain events
Were perhaps misconstrued.

What events?

Switch!
Well, I just--

Ok, so...Wanna just tell me
What's going on?

It's not what you think,
Dawson, not even close.

How do you know
What I think?

Because, man, it's written
All over your face, ok?

Yes, me and joey
Have been spending a lot
Of time together recently

Because we've been here
Trying to learn how to
Ballroom dance,

And then she's teaching me
A little trigonometry.

You know what's much more
Interesting to me

Is that all of the possible
Blond and brunette
Combinations

Of women that
You and I both know,

The first one that popped
Into your mind is joey.
Why is that?

You're not going to
Get out of this

By attempting
To psychoanalyze me.

I'm just asking
A simple question.

Dawson, you and joey--

She's not your
Girlfriend anymore.

You're right, she's not.

Right. So the why are we
Having this conversation?

You see where
I'm going with this?

You're the same guy who
Told me a couple weeks ago

That the two of you
Just needed to go
Your separate ways.

Yeah, we do need to go
Our separate ways.

It just never occurred
To me--

That what? That she
Would actually go her
Separate way, too?

Or perhaps it didn't
Occur to you

That her separate way would
Include a stopover at me.
Is that what it is?

God, man, this is the way
It always is with you.

You talk and talk, but you
Don't listen to yourself.

You say you're over her,
But you're not.

They're just words.
They don't mean
Anything to you.

You don't know what
You're talking about.

Heh. Look at
That girl, dawson.

Just take a good look.

She's a freaking goddess.

How long did you
Think it was gonna be

Before some guy comes along
And is interested in her?

I mean, really,
Dude.

And when that happens,
What are you gonna do?

I'm just gonna
Take it all as it comes.

You're gonna
Take it as it comes.

Perhaps you should start
Figuring out right now.

Because the guy that
Comes along is not gonna
Be your best friend,

And he's not gonna
Ask for your permission.

The guy that comes along
Is gonna take one look
At that woman

And just cut right in
On you.

What are you hiding,
Pacey?

What?

All this analysis
Of my love life
Doesn't change the fact

That you haven't answered
My original question.

Why did I find that condom?

Switch!

God, I can't believe that guy.

Pacey, chill out.

Here we are again,

Though I have to say
The story line

Is starting to stretch
The limits of believability.

Meaning what?

Meaning that
We're 2 red-blooded
American teenagers

Who, weeks ago, made
The enlightened decisions

Not to keep our bodies
To ourselves.

And what do we have
To show for it? Nothing.

Nothing. How is that
Possible?

I've spent a lot of time
Trying to figure this out,

And frankly, I'm just
Drawing a blank.

Pacey, it's for about
A million different reasons.

Really? Do you think you could
Hit me with a couple

So it would make me
Feel better?

Ok, how about the fact that
Our mothers teach us to be
Embarrassed about sex?

Or that we live in a country
That thinks violence
Is cool,

But gets squeamish
When 2 people under
Legal voting age

Start using
The correct terms for
Each other's body parts?

Pacey, is this your
Not-so-subtle way
Of telling me

That you're ready
For a return
To witch island?

Maybe it was the dancing

Or perhaps it's just
The romantic setting
Of this coat room,

But...I am definitely getting
That witchy feeling.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean
To accuse you of anything,

But something really strange
Is going on here.

Pacey's not
Sleeping with you,

He's definitely
Sleeping with somebody.

Whoa. What do
We have here?

It's...Nothing, right?

Yeah, nothing.

Doesn't look like
Nothing.

Believe me, we've done
Exhaustive research
In this area.

It's nothing.

Pacey and I
Are just friends.

Is that what the kids
Are calling it these days?

You guys are so stupid.
You're both gonna get hurt--

Nobody is gonna
Get hurt by this.

We both agreed that
Neither of us have
Our emotions in it.

And you're proud
Of that fact?

Joey, we're just
Messing around.

Dawson?

They lost me at "Nothing."

Pacey, this isn't you.

I mean, jen, maybe you're
Trying to prove something
To somebody about--

Whoa, hey, slow down.

This was as much my decision
As it was hers, ok?

So it that why you named
Your boat true love?

Because you think it's ok
For casual acquaintances
Or even friends

To, you know, use each other
As scratching posts?

I knew you weren't
Gonna understand.

You know what?
I understand.

I understand just fine.

I've never in my life
Seen somebody

So worked up
Over just a kiss.

I don't think
It was just the kiss.

What do you mean?

I mean that joey knows
About our arrangement.

How could she
Possibly know, pacey?

Because I went to her
For some hypothetical advice,

But when she saw us kissing,

I'm pretty sure she figured out
It wasn't so hypothetical.

You went to joey
For advice about us?

Yeah, I know,
Not so smart, huh?

Smart or not smart,
It's just...

Funny you went to her.

Well, I wouldn't say
That I went to her.

She just kind of happened
To be there. We were studying.

Can I ask you
Something, pacey?
What is it about her?

Huh?

She's obviously
Got something

That makes boys
In emotional turmoil
Just flock to her.

Come again.

Oh, come on.
Dawson's the same way.

Whatever small problem
Got to him,

He went straight
To joey.

So who else would you
Have me talk to?

I can't exactly go to andie
With something like this,

So I guess I'm supposed to
Commune with deputy doug, then.

Dawson. Why couldn't you
Just go to dawson?

Unless, of course,
You now feel uncomfortable

Talking to him
About your sex life,
Considering...

Considering what?

Your current girl friday
Used to be his.

Ok, now correct me
If I'm wrong,

But dawson leery
Didn't actually
Know about you and I

Until what,
2 minutes ago?

I'm not talking about us.

What, joey? This has
Nothing to do with joey.

I saw the way that you
Overreacted to dawson.

I saw the way that joey
Overreacted to us.

I know that you're having
Trouble in math these days,

But it doesn't take einstein
To get the sum total

Of these 2 overreactions.

You're gonna have
To explain this one to me

Because I gotta be
Missing something here.

You're talking about
Joey potter, right?

The one who can't walk
Into the same room with me
Without gagging?

Huh? That joey potter?

There was nothing going on
Between us--

No, pacey, there's
Nothing between us.

No matter what we do,
It's not gonna work out
Between us.

No, it's not, is it?

No.

Are you disappointed?

Yeah, I'm disappointed.

And at the same time...

I think I'm also
A little relieved.

Me, too.

I'm gonna go.

See ya, pace.

You know what, pacey?

Thanks for nothing.

What are you
Still doing here?

Anxiously awaiting
To be regaled with
First-date stories.

Well, they tell me in order
To have first-date stories,

You actually have to have
A first date.

What happened?

I can't get into this
With you.

You're just gonna get on me
About how I handled it.

Jack, that's not fair.

You're always the one
Who's scraping me off
The concrete.

Can't I return the favor?

I didn't even go in, ok?

I panicked.

I got there,
Looked through
The window,

And I saw him sitting there
Waiting for me.

Then I saw this couple.

This girl and this guy.

And when I saw them,
It...

When I saw them at that moment,
I didn't wanna be me.

I wanted to be them.

I got so upset
That I just left.

So I guess when it
Comes right down to it,

I'm just not brave enough
To walk through the door.

Oh, jack,
You are so brave.

Your entire life,
You have been
Nothing but brave.

But not this time.

I mean, I keep taking
These baby steps,

But I'm not getting anywhere.
I'm not getting any braver.

Don't be so hard
On yourself.

I mean, that's what
Fear is for.

It's--it's life's way
Of telling us

That we're not ready
For certain things.

Aren't you the same girl
Who spent the past week

Dragging me kicking
And screaming towards
My romantic destiny?

Yeah, but I know when
To push and when not to.

It's a little something
I picked up

-from annoyingsister.
-com.

Anyway, jack,

When it's right,
You'll know it.

And that's when you'll
Walk through that door.

When you're ready.

If it makes you
Feel any better,

What happened
Was inevitable.

What was?

What we just saw.

Look at it from
A storytelling
Perspective.

Pacey's brooding,
Disillusioned,
Tough-guy persona

Was destined
To collide with jen's
Fake sexual bravado.

It was inevitable.

Dawson, you're
The ultimate romantic.

How can you not
Be more upset about his?

If jen and pacey wanna
Mess around in a coat room,
That's their business.

But, dawson,
You don't understand
What's going on.

They made some sort
Of casual-sex pact.

They're just
Using each other.

We're all guilty
Of that.

At least their being
Up-front about it.

So you buy into this whole
Raging hormones theory?

You think it's ok
For 2 people
Who aren't in love

To just let their
Sexual impulses
Run wild?

No. What I'm saying is
If jen and pacey made
Some sort of agreement,

I don't think they made it
Because they wanted sex.

I think they wanted comfort.

I'm sure that's
All they were doing
In your bed, dawson,

Providing each other
With comfort.

It's not impossible.

It's all you and I
Ever did.

Give 'em a break,
Jo.

They're just lonely.

Dawson, being lonely
Is no excuse to just
Throw yourself

At the first available
Warm body.

Could you sleep with someone
That you didn't love?

No, and neither
Could you.

But I do understand
The impulse.

What impulse?

Impulse to...

To put your hand out
And want someone there
At the end of your reach.

To want someone to be close
To wanna kiss or touch,
Even if it's wrong.

That's just it, dawson.

It's wrong.

If a kiss is just some
Purely physical thing,

And if there's
Nothing else behind it,
What's the point?

The point is you can't
Control those feelings, jo.

Even if they're wrong,
They're there.

They're always there.

You can understand that,
Can't you?

I forgot my coat.

I--I better go inside
And get it.

Ok.

Good night.

Good night, joey.

I forgot my coat.

Well, yeah, you ran out of there
In a bit of a hurry, didn't ya?

Look, if it makes you
Feel any better,

We never actually
Slept together.

I mean, not even close.

It's none of my business
What you guys did
Or didn't do.

I'm sorry I overreacted.

Yeah, you did overreact,
Didn't you?

Don't act so smug.
I'm not saying
You're right

Or that I approve
Of what you guys
Are doing.

Were doing.
I'd say the time limit
On the limited-time offer

Has probably run out now.

Oh.

So you got your coat.

What made you come in here?

Dawson.

He convinced me
To take pity

On your poor, misguided,
Testosterone-impaired
Self.

Heh heh. He did that,
Did he?

'fraid so.

Man, I guess I owe him
Another one, huh?

You do.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, not so fast, you two.
There's a class about to start.

I think we've done enough
Dancing for a lifetime.

Whoa, whoa. Let's not
Be too hasty here.

We've still
Got a scholarship
To work for, right?

Oh, um, about
That scholarship--

Things have been kind of tight
Here at the starlight.

There's no scholarship?

No. But what I can offer you

Is 6 months
Of free dance lessons.

And what would
We do with those?

The cha-cha, the rumba,
The merengue.

Um, when you're ready,
The tango.

It's the dance of love.

Thanks, but no, thanks.

Come on, think about
This for a second.

Don't be too hasty.

We may have
Found our calling
In this dance studio.

Give it up, pacey.
You definitely
Were not that good.
