Dawson's Creek Quotes
It's probably the wrong time to tell you this. But, um, well, maybe it's the
perfect time. I realize how incredibly confusing things are between us right
now. I can't even begin to explain our relationship. You probably can't
either. But, um, I just want you to know that, um, if you ever need me, I'll
always be here for you. All you ever have to do is ask. ~Dawson

look in your eyes. Whether it's repulsion or jealousy or complete dissaproval

suddenly feel strange about us, that maybe we need a little break cause you
don't seem to know me and maybe you never really did. Or, and now I'll make
it really easy for you Dawson, you could just tell me if I've left anything
out. (pause) I didn't think so. - Jen

hate you now. - Mr. Leary

Joey: You know, when did everyone become so obsessed with sex? And now, you
too, Dawson. If you're worried that everyone's more experienced than you, you
can just rest easy. You still have one friend who will probably go to her
grave a virgin.
Dawson: Joey, it's just a matter of time--
Joey: Before what? Before my brain short circuits and I start bedding down
with every guy with a fast car and big biceps?
Dawson: Before you find the right person.
Joey: I have.
Dawson: Joey?
Joey: I'm sorry Dawson, I don't...I don't know what's going on. I have all
these feelings--these weird feelings--I don't know how to say it, and I can't
say it. I mean...we've known each other for so long, and you know everything
about me. Everything. And I can't even say this. I can't. And I just
feel...really lonely.
Dawson: Joey, you're not alone.
Joey: Yes I am.
Dawson: Joey, I'm here for you. I was here for you in sixth grade, I'm here
for you now, okay? Nothing you can say is gonna change that. Nothing. Maybe
if you'd just...say these things, then...you know, they'll be out in the open.
Your feelings won't be as strong anymore. You know...you--you'd be free.
Joey: I can't. I can't. ‘Cause if I say these things I can't ever take
them back. It'll change everything and I can't do that. I can't.
Jen: For someone lying on his deathbed life is not a gift, life's a bitch!!
Jen: This is gonna be so much fun. The three of us sitting around doing
nothing. It's just like every other Saturday.
Jen: Maybe if you spent less time dwelling on me and Dawson you might have a
boyfriend of your own.
Joey: Oh, and wouldn't THAT just be heaven on earth. Yeah, to call one of
these pigs at Capeside my boyfriend. Be some perky little cheerleader who
gets pumped and dumped by the school jock. Yeah, have sex with Grant Bodine
on the floor of the boy's locker room wouldn't that just be great.
Abby: Spoken like a true lesbian.
Joey: Yeah I wish I was a lesbian. And Jen I'm not dwelling on your
relationship with Dawson so just get over yourself.
Mrs. Leery - Perfection attained is a discomforting state.
Joey: You used to be bitter and cynical too. You were far more interesting.
Jen: I guess I'm no longer the Virgin Queen of Dawson Leery's handheld
fantasies.
On the remote of life, the rewind doesn't work. ~Joey
Jen: I've already told you about Billy.
Dawson: Is he the guy?
Jen: Anything Billy ever meant to me, you now mean ten times more than that.
Joey: Dawson, I hate to break it to you, but your problems really aren't that
original. You know, divorce and dysfunction run rampant in this town.
Dawson: I'm beginning to think relationship problems run in my family.
Dawson: How much pain and humiliation can a relationship endure before it's
reached the point of no return?
Joey: Dawson, relax. Don't worry about it. It's all gonna blow over and
you're gonna move onto bigger and better problems in no time.
Dawson: Are you going back to him?...You have to think about that?
Jen: It's just not that simple.
Dawson: Of course, he's treated you with nothing but respect. You know what
Jen, last time I checked so did I. And how do I get repaid? By having the
guy who's had you everywhere from Battery Park to your parent's bed dumped on
me as my new bunkmate.
Dawson: That's impossible, ok? Because I don't have an ex-girlfriend. You're
my girlfriend. My first and only. All I'm trying to do is prevent Billy's ex
from becoming my ex too.
Pacey: But if Jen did ditch Dawson for Billy the Kid, wouldn't that please a
certain someone we both know?
Pacey: There is one thing I need to know. You're really, really enjoying the
fact that Jen's ex is in town, aren't you?
Pacey: This is the wedge you've been waiting for that's gonna drive Jen and
Dawson apart, right?
Pacey: Let's lay this on the line, ok? You have some raging, hormonal
obsession for our friend Dawson and you just can't wait to get your hooks in
him but good, right?
Joey: Bite me.
Pacey: Be kind, rewind.
Mr. Leery: Every relationship produces its share of disappointments and
insecurity and pain. Anyone who's never been hurt is either very lucky or
very lonely. The trick is to get through it.
Mrs. Leery: When are you gonna stop punishing me?
Mr. Leery: When it stops hurting.
Pacey: How do I look?
Joey: Like the before picture in an ad for geek remover.
Pacey: Jealousy will get you nowhere.
Billy: Let's just say, as a student of the goodbye kiss, it possessed a
little more kiss and a little less goodbye.
Billy: She was with me before she even entered into your fantasy.
Dawson: You and everyone else!
Pacey: Alright, Jo, say goodbye to the nice serial rapist man.
Billy: You are leaving me for a guy who's got an ET doll on his bed?
Jen: It's a collector's item!!!
You're born, and you die, and you make alot of mistakes.
I'm a firm believer that sometimes it's right to do the wrong thing.(Pacey)
Mrs. Ryan: Just because we don't say everything to each other doesn't mean we
don't feel it.
Joey: My problem is that ever since little Miss Highlights showed up you
haven't said one word to me.
Jen: Look I know your head must be spinning right now and, I don't know, and
maybe one of the things you're thinking is how unfair it is that right now
when you need to talk to someone the most, you're kinda stuck here with little
more than a semi-stranger. But, I mean, we always seem to have something to
say to each other even if our conversations are more banter than real talk,
you know fun and sweet and everything but kind of on the surface. What I'm
trying to say is, is that if you want to talk to somebody about this, I mean
really talk to somebody, even though I know we've never done that before,
well, I'd, I'd really like to be that person.
Joey: You're just looking for conflict. Accept your perfect life Dawson.
Joey: You're so far removed from reality you can't even see what's right in
front of you.
Joey: Puberty, hi I'm Joey. I live down the creek. We've never met. Ever.
Joey: Clap hard Dawson, you may be Tinkerbell's last hope.
Joey: It's not like I wanted to be the one holding your hand....I just didn't
want her to be holding it.
Everything changes eventually. That's just the way life is and you have no
control over it.
Like suddenly people who you think are always going to be there, they
disappear. You know? People die and they move away and they grow up.
Everything changes eventually. ~Joey (Dawson’s Creek)
DAWSON: I like her ok, sue me, i thought
you were my friend? Where is a little understanding.
JOEY: Oh, I understand everything. I'm tired of understanding,
all i do is understand!
Better fasten your seatbelt, Dawson, cause it's gonna be a
bumpy ride.~Joey
I've seen you burp, fart, pick your nose, and scratch your butt.
The attraction is gone. ~Joey
Pacey: Dawson, you're not a little Oompa Loompa anymore. You're a big
bad manly Oompa Loompa.
Pacey: I was just thinking to myself that when you loosen up you're not
half-bad to be around. Bordering
on fun, even. (talking to Joey)
I'm mad at the world. I'm a teenager.~ Dawson
Let's assess. What have we learned from tonight's 90210
evening? -- Dawson
Joey, you bitter, cynical, jaded... thing. -- Dawson
Hurry up. We don't have much time. Better drop 'em. --
Ms. Jacobs
I know what you're doing. You're calling my bluff to see how
far I'll take it. -- Pacey
No, no, no, I'm deadly serious. Take 'em off. --
Ms. Jacobs
You keep saying how this is wrong, and maybe tonight it is. But just to
set the record straight... I'm a firm
believer that sometimes it's right to do the wrong
thing. -- Pacey
Dawson, don't forget man, I wanna see that tape. -- Pacey
Pervert. -- Joey
Prude. -- Pacey
I'm not cursed with self-awareness like you are, Dawson, but I know
enough to know how people see
me. I'm not the guy who gets the girl. I'm the guy who talks about
getting the girl, but not the guy who
gets her. -- Pacey
Phasers on stun, I come in peace. --Joey
You can't stand the idea that if a girl is choosing between two guys
she might not choose the romantic
doofus who woos her with flowers and cheesy poems, you know? She just
might choose the guy who has
the faster car, or the bigger bicep, or... the bigger
joystick. -- Joey
You told her people called me oompa-loompa!? -- Dawson
Oh my god, Pacey, what'd you do to your beak? Get into a car accident
while picking your nose? -- Abby
No way! Emilio Estevez, he was in those Duck movies, remember? Those
were classics...so funny. --
Pacey [Charlie in the Mighty Ducks]
You're not gonna let Rudolph join in any of your perverted
reindeer games? --Pacey
You're nothing but a whitebred, country club goody two shoes with a
bad case of potty mouth. --Pacey
[to Abby]
You know, this town is the absolute embodiment of dull. Apart from the
occasional sex scandal, provided
by yours truly, nothing happens here. -- Pacey
I need to rent The English Patient. -- Joey
May I suggest to you a movie that does not completely
blow? --Pacey
No, because it was on cable last night and put the baby to sleep. In
fact it's the only thing that puts the
baby to sleep because the baby never sleeps. And if the baby doesn't
sleep, then I don't sleep. And if I
don't sleep, I get angry. I get irritable. And I no longer maintain my
sunny disposition. So Pacey, if you
have even the slightest bit of human decency you'll rent this movie
to me immediately and bring 181
minutes of peace into my otherwise wretched life. -- Joey
Oh, thank you, Satan for completing this night of horrors by sending
one of your disciples to finish me
off. -- Joey
Just a reminder... if one person says something, it's a rumor. Two
people... it's gospel. -- Joey
I'm having an ice cream anti-social. You wanna join
me? -- Joey
You know what I did first thing after I finished grading
your exam? -- Dr. Rand
Stopped laughing. -- Pacey
I'm very well certain that your grade will not only place you squarely
among the morons, but you may
very well be their leader. -- Joey [to Pacey]
You are a Grade-A, 100%, scaredy cat wuss. -- Dawson
[to Joey]
Back handed insults disguised as compliments. That's really a novel
approach to winning back a woman's
affections. -- Pacey
We don't have to wash each other's hair or do each other's
nails, do we? -- Joey [to Jen]
I'm sitting here with my best friend in the world... and my
palms are sweating. -- Dawson
It's the first time we've ever slept together in a foreign
bed. -- Dawson [to Joey]
For a second there, I was overcome with this wave of sympathy for
you. It'll pass. -- Joey
Well, can't you help me? When have I ever asked you for a favor? I
mean, can't you steal your dad's car
or something?--Joey
I prefer to call it borrowing, but sure. -- Pacey
Do you really love me, though? Cause I'm 15 years old, and I go
through every day of my life thinking
that nobody loves me. --Joey
Wait, lemme get this straight. You tried to create a snail
menage a trois? -- Joey
Well, when you say it out loud, it sounds stupid.
-- Pacey
You're taking romantic advice from a guy who spent his evening trying
to get three snails to sleep with
each other?-- Joey
I firmly believe that secrets destroy.~Dawson
I'd probably be stupid enough to wait forever.~Joey
(Joey), you die so well. Dawson, can we do another take of that? I
so love that image.~Pacey
I am an artist. I enjoy torture. I'm enjoying my
misery.~Dawson
If I ever get like this again, and you know I will before this
adolescent stage is over, just chain me to my
bed and wait for my moment of clarity to come.~Dawson
I am a cliche. New York moving too fast. So fast that I was stumbling
and falling and now, for the first
time, I feel I'm walking at a steady pace, and if I kiss you now, I'm
afraid that my knees will buckle and
I'll stumble, and I can't handle that right now.~Jen
It's all about romance... and chapstick.~Mr. Leery
These movies you watch are nothing but unrealistic images that don't
exsist beyond the boundaries of
Hollywood.~Joey
Sadness is my specialty.~Jen
The worst part about falling for your best friend is watching
him fall for another girl.~Joey
I believe that all the answers to your questions can be found in
a Spielberg film.~Dawson
It was the end of something simple... and the beginning of
everything else.~DC Slogan
I pull the pin, I toss the grinade.~Dawson
Listen, you sorry-a** civil servant. This is the mother-to-be
speaking. Maybe I'm not in the tax bracket
that gaurantees a prompt response to medical distress, but I have a shoe
full of amniotic fluid, my pelvis is
beating like a brombo band, and I'm in danger of having my first
child delivered by two high school
students. So why don't you stop making excuses? Get off your oversized
backside and get an ambulance
before my fetus enters college!~Bessie
At the rate you're going, Joey, the two of us is gonna be
the three of us!~Bessie
No, because it was on cable last night and it put the baby to sleep.
In fact, it's the only thing that's put
baby to sleep, because baby never sleeps. And if baby doesn't sleep, I
don't sleep. If I don't sleep, I get
angry. I get irritable and I can no longer maintain my sunny
deposition. So, Pacey, if you even have the
slightest bit of human decency, you'd rent this movie to me immediately
and bring a 181 minutes of peace
into my otherwise wretched life. Please? ~Joey
Joey: Dawson I can't sleep over cause I have breasts!!! And
you have genitalia!!
Dawson: I've always had genitalia.
J: Yeah but now it's bigger!
D: How do you know??
I don't want to lose you , Joey. What we have is the only thing that
makes sense to me. ~Dawson Leery
You can't deny or intise love, by definition it has to find its way to you.
wait for that small moment in life that provides sincerity, a little
occurance that tells you who to be with or not to be with. ~Mrs. Leery
I want you to look at me and see the person you've always known and realize
that what we have is so much more than just some passing physical attraction
because you know what Dawson? Its just lipstick, and this is just hairspray.
Tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and I'm gonna be Joey, just joey, the too tall girl
from the wrong side of the creek. ~Joey
I'd like to tell today's youth that no matter where life takes you big
cities, small towns, you'll inevitably come across small minds. People who
think they're better then you because of minor things like being pretty or
popular automatically make you a worthwhile human being. None of these
things matter! If you have a strength of character, integrity, a sense of
pride, please don't sell them. Don't ever sell out-so when you meet someone for
the first time, please don't judge them by their station in life…who knows? They
just may end up being your best friend! ~Joey
It's just a little weird. Like I've been broadsided by a bus...A happy bus.
~Joey on her father's parole
