shows that go on for way too long, and then just in time to save the franchise, all of sudden it turns out that there's this
amazing world class college just right around the corner where all the principle characters are accepted. Just to be safe,
we should probably start the application process."

Pacey: You know, just when this conversation starts getting emotionally complex, you want to bail. Who's the guy in this relationship?

Pacey: Alright. I'll get my shoes.
-#404 Future Tense

on." -#410 Self-Reliance

"Three months alone on a boat and you understood without
a word why I wasn't ready. Do you really have to ask
now why I am? So... in about ten seconds, I'm going to start kissing you. And if you don’t want me to... well, then I guess you’re just gonna have to stop me. Ten, my love."

Joey: I don't snore.
Pacey: I beg to differ.
Joey: So, Pace, um... the other day, I had to read this article for biology, and it said that contrary to all previous thinking
on the subject, human beings may actually be able to
regrow brain cells.
Pacey: So I guess that means the whole "this is your brain
on drugs" thing is moot.
Joey: I wouldn't go toking up just yet... but I think what it means is that at some point in the not-so-distant future, it
may actually be possible to forget all the bad stuff and only remember the good.
Pacey: I don't know. If you ask me, I think that's already possible.
-#503 Capeside Revisited
Joey: No. I seem to have fallen victim to the Capeside disease.
