Original subtitles

Feelings and emotions Have an inexplicable way

Of manifesting themselves In subconscious

And not always Self-aware behavior.

Your verbal deconstruction Of teen angst

Is really outdated, colby.

There's nothing going on Between me and petey.

He's just a friend,

Your best friend, I might add.

I have no subconscious Subliminal intentions Towards him.

Just a friend, huh?

Yes. That's all.

Period. End of sentence, Dissertation, and post-modern Diatribe.

Now can we go to sleep?

So is petey A friend the same way

You and I are just friends?

Yeah...

Of course.

That's what I was afraid of.

Thank god that's over.

Tread lightly, Book boy.

Watch this. This'll be fun.

Oh!

Back to intelligent life As we know it.

Yeah, you know That show?

It's like bad Airplane food.

You know, The teen hyperbole,

It's hard on The stomach,

And the writers Must sit around With a thesaurus

Just seeking out 4 syllable ways

To abuse the English language.

Well, I only watch it To torture you.

Yeah, well, It works.

I mean, who talks Like that colby guy?

He's like Some mutant English professor

Psycho therapist Freak.

We can't all be brilliant Literary snobs like yourself.

You should read Some of the crap I have to edit.

You edit my stuff.

Except your stuff.

Ok, ok, ok, ok. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I have to finish this, And I have 2 more after that.

Go write a book Or something.

I can't. That show Has officially destroyed

Some very necessary Brain cells.

Get over it.

What is the big deal? So I like a teen soap. So what?

The way it possesses you

Is what frightens me, Honestly.

Every wednesday at 8:00,

You enter this Supernatural portal Of teen angst.

I have an emotional connection To it you wouldn't understand.

Will sam and colby Ever get together?

Will sam choose petey? Will sam choose colby?

Find out next week as we Continue to beat a dead dog

All the way Into syndication!

You know, I think Subconsciously,

You like the show Just as much as I do.

Spoken very much

Like the indecisive Noncommittal character Of sam.

How dare you?

Do you really think I sound like her?

We'll have to loop Colby's virgin speech In the third act.

His mumbling's out of control.

And don't forget about The network notes.

They did not clear Masturbate as Acceptable dialogue.

It's a clinical term.

They suggested "Walking your dog."

Walking your dog?

And you have to talk To ben today.

He has no idea That his character's Coming out of the closet.

He's going to lose it.

After lunch.

I've gotta step in With the writers.

Captioning made possible by Sony pictures television, inc.

They're soul mates.

They have to end up Together.

Ah, but not in The first season.

You got nowhere to go After that.

What are we talkin' about?

The perpetual Dilemma, dawson.

Does sam hook up With feisty petey

Or soul mate colby In the season Cliffhanger?

If she chooses petey,

It will break convention And surprise the audience.

Surprise, Not satisfy.

Colby is sam's soul mate. It's destiny.

This show Is about twisting The convention, right?

Let's break this notion Of destiny and fate.

Dawson, what do you think?

I think you guys Are onto something.

Look, I've gotta go.

Here he comes.

I picked up your suit For the wedding.

It's hanging on the back Of your door,

And don't forget that the car Is going to come and pick you up

For the airport tomorrow At noon. Right.

And rebecca called To confirm dinner.

Ohh, postpone it. Again. And don't give me that look.

What look?

For the record,

I'm a nice guy... I'm just late for editing.

Looks like somebody's In quite the hurry This morning.

Sheriff doug, Hey, look, I'm sorry.

I'm late and I'm trying To get to class.

Well, I have no choice

But to issue you A citation

For doing 40 in a 25.

Look, I already have All these points Against my license.

You think maybe There's something I could do

To get you to look The other way?

May I remind you, Mr. Mcphee,

That attempting to bribe A public official

Is a serious offense?

Uh, you know, I was Just hoping that maybe, um...

I could appeal to your Greater sense of compassion.

All right.

Just this once, I'll let you go

With a warning.

Thanks, honey.

No, no, never, never Call me honey.

Dude, it's a deserted road. Chill.

Don't call me dude, Either.

All right, tonight? Dinner later?

Yeah. I'll cook. My place.

Great. I'll bring The handcuffs.

Kidding.

I'll see you.

Yeah, I'll see you.

Jack...

Slow down.

You got it.

All right.

I got that, Mr. Witter.

You're the boss, Remember?

I'm just trying To lend a hand.

The rush today was crazy.

Ka-ching. That's a good thing.

Yeah, 6 months and going strong. No complaints, right?

Oh, pacey, there you are.

I've got your New menu designs

Along with All your revisions.

Excellent. I've been Meaning to take A look at those.

Hey, cory, I'll be in my office

If anybody's looking For me, ok?

Yeah.

Shall we?

We're gonna have to find A new pretense to meet.

This is...The third time

I've had to review The menu design.

I'm sure no one Suspects a thing.

I'm not exactly the most Invisible guy in Capeside these days.

I'm sure somebody's Starting to suspect.

As long as It's not my husband.

"We two boys Together clinging...

"One the other, Never leaving...

"Up and down, The roads going

North and south Excursions making..."

Mr. Hampton...

Is there a problem?

Do I have to Keep reading?

Well, the poem's Not finished.

No, offense, Mr. Mcphee,

But this is A poem by a guy About another guy.

It's like, A gay poem.

I wasn't aware that poems Had sexual orientation.

See, this gay poem

And others like it actually Got whitman fired from his job.

See, he was an outcast Most of his life.

But he didn't care. He loved his country.

He loved the freedom That it stood for,

And he celebrated The american spirit

Every chance That he got.

And here we are 150 years later,

And we're still Laughing at him.

Your assignment

Is to find a way to say Through the conventions Of poetry

What you are afraid to say.

I want you guys To write about something

That you're scared of.

We're gonna read These things out loud On monday to each other,

So I would hope That you give the same Courtesy to each other

That you did not give To mr. Whitman today.

Have a good weekend.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hi.

Oh, let me see My goddaughter.

Hey, gorgeous.

Oh, my god.

She's beautiful. So are you.

Hi, sweetheart.

God, it's good To see you.

You, too.

Ahh, too long.

So I just caught Some of your act.

Looks like capeside Finally hired a good teacher.

Good teachers are just Traumatized students

Trying to erase Whatever went wrong

With their own High school experience.

Do you think that You could erase my memories While you're at it?

That would be a lifetime In a nunnery.

So, what's on your agenda Tonight, huh?

Well, I gotta have Dinner with the sheriff,

But if you want to Catch a drink later?

Yeah, sure. Gosh, 6 months in,

You two are already An old married couple, huh?

Yes, but with The added element

Of pretending We don't know each other

Every time we pass On the street.

Oh, still?

Yeah, What can I say?

He's a paranoid, Closeted freak...

But he's my paranoid Closeted freak.

You staying at The potter b&b?

Mm-hmm. I'll be there, Awaiting your phone call.

All right, Let's get out of here

Before you make me late For my next class.

Ok, sorry.

It's good to see you.

Hmm.

You're here!

Yay!

Oh, look at you.

You get more handsome Every time I see you.

Mom, I look terrible.

Well, you wear it well.

So, how was your flight?

Oh, it was ok.

Oh, you got excited And you sprouted--

Oh, whoa, hey, hey!

A little bit more Than I bargained for.

Whatever.

It's all good. It wasn't meant to be.

Besides, dawson probably Would eventually kill me

For taking his only Soul mate, right?

Hey, what's up With audrey, anyway?

Anybody talk to her lately?

Audrey's singing backup For john mayer.

She's touring europe, And she's got some boyfriend

She calls the anti-pacey.

He's totally boring and...

Really sweet or something.

And "Really sweet," As opposed to the actual pacey?

And that from My ex-girlfriend, no less.

Pacey...Thank you so much For reopening this place.

I did not know How much I missed it.

Maybe if your daddy Hadn't have burned it down In the first place,

It'd still be yours.

Ohh, nice, Pacey. Nice.

I couldn't write this stuff If I tried.

How long has it been?

Not long enough, Apparently.

Dawson...

Remember when I De-virginized you?

What?!

Ok, uh, yeah, On that note,

Maybe we should depart.

What do you mean? You can't leave now.

We're just getting To the good stuff.

Yeah, I'm afraid She's gonna divulge A little too much info.

Oh, my goodness.

Here, I'll Give you a ride.

I'm sorry. Oh, no!

We're out.

Hey, guys,

Remember the time When my boyfriend

Knocked me up and left me To raise a baby on my own?

A pleasure, As always, darlin'.

Walk safe.

I will.

Bye, boys.

My god, That woman's amazing.

Yeah.

Man, that girl You cast On your show

Cannot hold A candle to her.

I know. I did nail petey, though.

That's perfect casting.

Yeah, well, he does have

The certain requisite Roguish charm, I guess.

Whew. Man...

A lot's changed.

You've changed.

Yeah, well, Life happens.

So, are you happy?

You know, with everything That's happened, you happy?

The stock answer's A resounding yes.

Anything else, I'd sound like

A whiny hollywood brat, Right?

Yeah, but right now You're talking to me.

To be honest with you,

I haven't given it Much thought.

You?

Heh.

Uh...

Oh, you know me, I'd be miserable If I was happy.

You don't have To help me do this.

It's my job, remember?

It's good To see you, dawson.

You, too.

I'll see you tomorrow At the wedding.

All right.

Welcome home.

The last time I checked, This was not on the list of Godparent job requirements.

That's ok, that's ok.

You're doing just fine.

Is she always This sad naked?

What's this?

Oh, they're grams'. I just keep it on hand In case she forgets it.

I didn't know she was Still on painkillers.

She looks like She's in good health.

Looks can be deceiving That way.

Oh, it's ok, it's ok.

There you go.

Mmm...

You ever wonder if You could survive Without her?

Think you could really Do this alone?

I used to think I couldn't,

But, uh, really I don't Feel that way anymore.

It's really wonderful-- Parenting.

I mean, I can't Program my tivo,

But I can take care Of a child.

You've changed the most.

Out of all of us.

If I have, It's not because of me.

Amy changed me.

I mean, I'm just along For the ride.

What am I doing here?

I mean, what sane Gay man of this era

Moves back to a suburb?

Jack...

I don't think This is about capeside.

I think you're--

You're frustrated With doug.

I know.

I mean, I feel like I'm Back in the closet, jen.

Although this time it's Not even my closet.

Well, you have To give him some time.

Why should I?

I mean, come on, It's not my fault

My boyfriend lives back In the stone age.

I know, But he's so scared.

What's there To be scared of?

Of what's real.

It terrifies us. All of us.

And you say That I've changed.

And you're right.

But, I mean, I went Kicking and screaming.

And if you think that anything Of any value in this world

Comes at an easier price, You're wrong.

Your wise Sage superpowers

Have increased With motherhood.

I think I might have To buy you a cape Pretty soon.

You can be My sidekick, hmm?

My boy wonder.

Anytime.

Oh! Ow!

Ow.

You scared the hell Out of me.

That's not as easy As it once was.

I think I might have Broken something.

What are you doing here?

Well, I was, um...

Walking to the b&b, And I just decided

To keep walking.

I haven't been home For so long and...

Did you know they put up A mcdonald's on hudson?

We've officially Been invaded, dawson.

We are one old navy away From being destroyed.

Are you ok?

Oh, yeah. I'm fine.

So, I, um...

I kept walking And then...

It was too late To ring the bell

And I saw the light on, So I thought, "Why not?"

Were you sleeping?

Because I can leave.

No, no. I'm glad you're here.

We didn't really get Much alone time tonight.

There's so much I want To know about you

And new york and...

Everything.

Ow. That did hurt.

See you later, boss.

Good night, guys.

Good night.

I'm sorry.

We're all closed up For the night.

Oh.

I'm guessing You know why I'm here.

Well, it's a long shot, But...

Sleeping with your wife, Maybe?

Ok, well, I'll make it easy on you.

I deserve it. Do your worst.

Heh heh.

Oh, now, look.

I've been drinking A bit tonight,

So you could probably Take me out all by yourself.

Yeah, what's The fun in that?

Aah!

Unh!

Well, I met christopher When I was assigned To proof his book.

This was before I got promoted To junior editor.

Ok.

And we bickered And argued so much

So we naturally Started dating,

And we've been fighting Ever since.

Is it serious?

Um...

Well, we're-- We're definitely...

At that moment when It either is or isn't.

I don't know What's gonna happen.

What about you?

Anything going on In l.A.?

I'm absolutely, 100%,

Intensely committed To my show...

And nothing else.

Well...

That's today.

It's not always gonna Be like that, dawson.

I...

I'm not complaining,

But...

Sometimes I feel like...

"What am I doing?"

You know, I wanted To be spielberg.

Dreams aren't perfect, Dawson.

They come true, Not free.

Nicely put.

Someone famous said it.

Hmm.

I'm just so tired.

I'll go. I'll let you Get some sleep.

No, no. I meant just Tired in general.

Well, I should go anyway.

It's late.

We have a wedding tomorrow.

All right. I'll drive you.

On second thought, No, I won't.

Go to sleep.

What?

You know the drill. That's your side. That's mine.

Lie down And go to sleep.

Are you kidding me?

Dawson, I can't.

Hey, you already climbed Through the window.

It's only fitting, Wouldn't you say?

No one's pining away For each other

Or masking Their feelings.

So, just sleep For sleep's sake.

Works for me.

We are adults.

Good night, dawson.

Good night, joey.

We've been through So much, dawson.

So many good times And bad.

When I loved you, You loved jen.

And when you loved me, I needed to be on my own.

So, I left you for jack,

And then he realized He was gay.

And then I convinced you

To turn your dad in For trafficking cocaine

And...You said you'd Never speak to me again.

But I did.

I offered myself To you at that party

After you crashed Your dad's boat.

And I refused...

For some reason.

And so You fell for pacey.

And years passed...

Until finally Here we are...

Saying, "I do."

The way it should be...

The only way it can be For star-crossed,

Ill-fated soul mates.

So, I do.

I do, too.

Cut!

Hey, I booked us a room For next weekend

At stonybrook lodge.

You know, I figured We could do a little hiking,

Some mountain biking, And, you know,

Other various activities.

Don't look so excited.

I--I mean, you know,

Do you think that's What we need right now,

Another weekend away From capeside?

Oh, I'm sorry I made The mistake of planning Something nice for us.

No, I appreciate it. I do.

You know, it's just

I'd like it A little bit better

If we were Hanging out here.

Look, you knew When we started Seeing each other

That I wasn't ready For all of capeside To know my business.

Doug, that was 6 months ago.

You know, we do Live in a post- will & grace world.

I mean, do you really Think people still care Who you sleep with?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Why do you even Care what anybody Thinks anyway?

I mean, Your family knows.

They have No problem with it.

Pacey, He couldn't be happier.

That's because pacey Gets the last laugh.

No, it's because Pacey loves you,

And so do I.

Doug, this really Sucks that we have To go through this.

I mean, how many Weekends away

Are we gonna have To go on

Before we can Be together like A normal couple?

It's like we're having Some kind of affair,

Yet neither one of us Are even married.

Not all of us Were fags at 15, jack.

It's not so easy For some of us.

I--I can't even believe You just said that.

I'm--I'm sorry. I didn't--

No, you're not.

You know what The difference is

Between you and me, Doug?

You were a fag at 15.

You just haven't stopped Hating yourself for it.

I'm so happy for you.

And dad would be too.

Thanks, honey.

Hey...

Oop...

What are you taking?

Oh, you caught me. I'm medicating.

I'm an anxiety-ridden mother. They help.

Thank you.

You, uh...Mind sharing?

'cause I could really Use it today.

Oh, no.

Oh, yes.

Oh...

So, are you gonna tell me How you got that shiner,

Or am I gonna have to assume You beat up the priest Before the ceremony?

Let's just say that Mistakes were made.

What's going on, pace?

What's going on?

What's going on is That I forget how much fun I have when I'm with you,

And it's really, really nice To be reminded.

Hey. Let's switch. Dawson won't let me lead.

Ok.

Hey.

You left in a hurry This morning.

Yeah. Well, I had To get ready.

Plus you were snoring, Plus the deja vu thing Was kinda hard to take.

I mean, it was kinda Like an acid flashback

Without all the colors And stuff.

I mean, I guess.

Not like I've actually Ever done acid.

I'm glad you're nervous, too.

What do you mean?

You ramble When you're nervous.

Is this rag on Joey potter day?

I like that you ramble When you're nervous.

I like that I know That you ramble When you're nervous.

I like that I still Make you nervous.

Pacey's stepping On my toes.

Would you take him Back, please?

It's a conspiracy.

New shoes, I think.

New shoes. Must be the new shoes.

Ahem.

Pacey, I think We have an audience.

Oh, boy...

Nice to see some things Never change.

Still breaking hearts?

Yeah. Her heart, my jaw.

It's all starting To make sense.

Do you want to Help me out here?

How?

Thanks.

Whoa, whoa, jen.

We were dancing. She just collapsed.

Jen!

My god. Somebody get her bag.

'cause she needs her pills.

I just saw her Take one.

Oh. Dear lord, this Should not be happening.

What's going on? Hurry up, Get an ambulance.

Ok. What's wrong With her?

For god's sake, hurry up.

She needs to go To the hospital now!

Grams, what the hell Is going on?

She's sick.

What do you mean sick? She was fine.

She's not fine. She's very sick.

It's her heart. Oh, dear god.

My baby jen.

Oh, jen.

It's been hours. Why won't they talk to us?

What's going on?

Well, they're Monitoring her.

Her vitals have Been compromised.

And, uh, they need To confer with her New york doctors

Before they can Tell us anything.

What's wrong With her?

You know, Don't you?

It's a small problem, really. It-it's been there all along.

W-we just didn't notice it Until the pregnancy.

There's an abnormality In her heart,

Which is why she fainted.

It's nothing serious, Really.

I mean she'll be more Embarrassed than anything else When she wakes up.

Really?

Yes, really.

Jack, did you know Anything about this?

No.

What is a heart abnormality?

Is that like a murmur Or something?

'cause I don't mean To be an alarmist, but that Sounds serious to me.

All right. She's stable.

She fainted from A palpitation caused By her medication.

We won't know Anything more for now.

Um, so there's nothing Much else to be done...

At the moment.

Look, I really think You should all just Go home and rest.

It's been...Dramatic, And I--I...

Please just-- Just go now.

Is she gonna be ok?

Of course she's Gonna be all right.

Her mother's in europe. I, uh...

I really need t-to call And...

Excuse me.

I'm worried.

This isn't good.

Wh... She's gonna be fine. Right?

I mean we don't know anything. Let's not jump to conclusions.

Yeah. And she's young. She's healthy.

Best thing we can do is Just be ourselves--

Carry on in our typical, Usual, distracting...

Sordid love triangle ways.

Leave it up to you to say The most inappropriate Thing possible.

Aw, I'm always Dependable, My friend.

So very not funny.

Hi, christopher.

And the triangle Becomes a square.

Well put.

Hey you.

Hey.

What are you Doing here? It's late.

Doesn't this hospital Have visitation hours?

I, uh...

Flirted with a nurse.

Quite charming When I wanna be.

What happens when she Finds out you're gay?

It's a male nurse.

Cute?

Look, jen...

I would love nothing more Than to engage

In our patented, meaningless, Good-humored jack-jen Fag-hag banter, but...

First I was kinda wondering, I mean, since you're lying here In this hospital bed

And you're hooked up To all these machines...

How come?

How come you didn't tell me 'cause I thought I was Your best friend?

'cause I didn't want you To be worried.

I was already Worrying enough.

Because I thought that if I Pretended it didn't exist,

It would just go away.

Because I like it.

I like our patented, Meaningless, Fag-hag banter,

And 'cause I was scared If I said it out loud,

It would be true Because I was just-- I was just scared.

'cause I was an idiot.

You are an idiot.

I--I could've handled it. I could've helped you Handle it.

Well, you will help me Handle it.

I need you.

Jen, straight up.

How bad is it?

Decreased left Ventricular-systolic Function.

It's a whole Blood not pumping right To my heart.

And it's causing a lot Of problems in my lungs.

It's called Pulmonary congestion.

All right, so what Do we do about it?

I mean, what--surgery?

Treatment? What?

Nothing.

I have been doing Everything.

And at first, The odds were good.

But...

You know me and odds.

Jen, there's gotta be Something we can do.

I mean, what about A specialist?

I've been there, Repeatedly.

I'm so sorry laying this All on you like this.

I really thought that I'd make it to capeside And back in one piece.

Yeah. Yeah.

Been trying to get ok With this, but I can't Do it alone anymore.

'cause I am gonna die, Jack.

And like everything else In my life, I don't really Know how to do that.

But I'd like to not Screw it up.

I'd like it to be Something I get right For once.

I'm here.

I will do anything That you want me to do.

Right now...

I want you to get In bed with me

And tell me all About this cute nurse

And make me forget Everything that I Just told you.

Yeah. Come here.

Yeah. Come here.

It's ok.

Now tell.

His name's max.

Mm...

I like max.

He has a goatee.

Hmm.

We could work on that.
