1
00:00:00,630 --> 00:00:02,591
Previously on Dawson's Creek
2
00:00:02,591 --> 00:00:03,648
What is this?
3
00:00:03,648 --> 00:00:05,747
Advance copy of Saturday's PSAT.
4
00:00:05,747 --> 00:00:06,788
This is wrong.
5
00:00:06,788 --> 00:00:08,299
Just bring it back
to where you got it
6
00:00:08,299 --> 00:00:09,399
and none of us ever saw it.
7
00:00:09,399 --> 00:00:10,499
What's the harm in peeking?
8
00:00:10,499 --> 00:00:12,554
Point is, we could all
use it for something.
9
00:00:12,554 --> 00:00:13,600
It's gone.
10
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,765
Whoever stole the test
needs to give it back.
11
00:00:15,765 --> 00:00:17,559
Today's PSAT test will be two
12
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:19,280
and a half hours long.
13
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,353
Substitute Mitch
14
00:00:20,353 --> 00:00:22,731
is Capeside High School's
newest varsity football coach.
15
00:00:22,731 --> 00:00:24,640
What's our streak at
now? It's like 0 and 38?
16
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,038
I want you to join
the team, Jack.
17
00:00:26,038 --> 00:00:27,751
Gay kid on the football team.
18
00:00:27,751 --> 00:00:29,432
Now, if that isn't
a written invitation
19
00:00:29,432 --> 00:00:30,703
for ridicule, what is?
20
00:00:36,953 --> 00:00:40,081
The Commodore 64,
the lawn dart,
21
00:00:40,081 --> 00:00:42,167
the Rock 'Em Sock
'Em Robots
22
00:00:42,167 --> 00:00:44,085
Super Sugar Crisp,
The Laserdisc,
23
00:00:44,085 --> 00:00:46,587
and now, back
from the halls
of obsolescence,
24
00:00:46,587 --> 00:00:48,340
the Betamax machine.
25
00:00:48,340 --> 00:00:49,799
Hey, man,
you are a lifesaver.
26
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:53,136
I got less than 48 hours
to become an expert
documentarian,
27
00:00:53,136 --> 00:00:55,305
and all Mom's newsreels
are on beta.
28
00:00:55,305 --> 00:00:59,434
What? Dawson Leery
eschewing the ephemeral
world of make-believe
29
00:00:59,434 --> 00:01:01,936
for the gritty realities
of real life?
30
00:01:01,936 --> 00:01:03,813
Has the world
spun off course?
31
00:01:03,813 --> 00:01:05,815
Was the Dalai Lama
spotted at Black Angus?
32
00:01:05,815 --> 00:01:08,485
More like my mother's been
dangling a big fat carrot.
33
00:01:08,485 --> 00:01:10,320
Human interest story
she was working on
at the network
34
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:11,112
fell out at
the last minute.
35
00:01:11,112 --> 00:01:12,572
And?
36
00:01:12,572 --> 00:01:14,449
And she says
that if I can edit
37
00:01:14,449 --> 00:01:15,742
some raw footage
by Friday morning,
38
00:01:15,742 --> 00:01:16,993
there's a chance
she could whip it into shape
39
00:01:16,993 --> 00:01:18,703
and be on the air
that night.
40
00:01:18,703 --> 00:01:20,288
Hey, it's the chance
of a lifetime.
41
00:01:20,288 --> 00:01:21,580
That'll make a guy
change his vision.
42
00:01:21,580 --> 00:01:23,417
Well, it's
a temporary change.
43
00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:24,918
As soon as I get
my foot in that
proverbial door,
44
00:01:24,918 --> 00:01:26,878
I'll be right back
in the magical land
of make-believe.
45
00:01:26,878 --> 00:01:28,046
I don't know,
Dawson.
46
00:01:28,046 --> 00:01:30,215
I mean,
you got an amazing
opportunity here
47
00:01:30,215 --> 00:01:31,674
to change
your whole genre.
48
00:01:31,674 --> 00:01:33,927
Real-life stories are
always more compelling
49
00:01:33,927 --> 00:01:35,636
than anything you could
possibly dream up.
50
00:01:35,636 --> 00:01:37,138
Real life is interesting,
51
00:01:37,138 --> 00:01:39,807
but it will
never be as dramatic as
a well-conceived narrative.
52
00:01:39,807 --> 00:01:42,060
Look at everything
that's been happening
in your life lately.
53
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:44,521
Are you honestly telling
me that you could
conceive of something
54
00:01:44,521 --> 00:01:47,815
more thrilling,
more sexy, and
more far-fetched?
55
00:01:47,815 --> 00:01:50,068
Huh?
56
00:01:50,068 --> 00:01:51,194
All right, fine.
57
00:01:51,194 --> 00:01:52,279
Who's your Guinea pig?
58
00:01:52,279 --> 00:01:54,406
It's Jack McPhee.
59
00:01:54,406 --> 00:01:55,782
Again?
60
00:01:55,782 --> 00:01:57,909
Gay kid joins
losing high school
football team,
61
00:01:57,909 --> 00:02:00,954
overcomes adversity,
battles antiquated
stereotypes,
62
00:02:00,954 --> 00:02:02,456
and ends up
becoming the star.
63
00:02:02,456 --> 00:02:03,622
Now, if you're gonna
mess with that story,
64
00:02:03,622 --> 00:02:05,041
you'd just be gilding
the Lily, Dawson.
65
00:02:05,041 --> 00:02:06,501
It's a great story,
but you can't just
66
00:02:06,501 --> 00:02:08,669
turn the camera on
and let it run.
67
00:02:08,669 --> 00:02:10,547
Why not?
68
00:02:10,547 --> 00:02:12,173
That's exactly
what's happening here.
69
00:02:12,173 --> 00:02:13,508
It seems pretty
interesting to me.
70
00:02:13,508 --> 00:02:16,261
My mom must've
taped over her work.
71
00:02:16,261 --> 00:02:18,054
Honey, this is Dawson.
Can you say hi?
72
00:02:18,054 --> 00:02:19,097
Hi.
73
00:02:19,097 --> 00:02:21,266
He's my friend.
74
00:02:21,266 --> 00:02:23,643
Is that who
I think it is?
75
00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:28,982
This is Joey, Dawson,
can you say hi?
76
00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:31,359
Hi, Joey.
77
00:02:37,532 --> 00:02:40,994
Once a heartbreaker,
always a heartbreaker,
huh, Dawson?
78
00:03:49,979 --> 00:03:52,148
Mornin'.
79
00:03:52,148 --> 00:03:56,861
Why do you insist
on degrading your
team colors like that?
80
00:03:56,861 --> 00:03:59,280
Well, Grams,
the fishnets
only come in black,
81
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,408
and the matching
leather whip,
82
00:04:01,408 --> 00:04:02,741
it's on back order.
83
00:04:03,577 --> 00:04:04,994
Jennifer.
84
00:04:04,994 --> 00:04:07,372
Come on, Grams,
the entire notion
of cheerleading
85
00:04:07,372 --> 00:04:08,665
is just a sexist attempt
86
00:04:08,665 --> 00:04:11,376
to try and objectify
the female body.
87
00:04:11,376 --> 00:04:12,377
I'm making a statement.
88
00:04:12,377 --> 00:04:14,462
You're making a mockery.
89
00:04:14,462 --> 00:04:16,130
The mockery
has been made.
90
00:04:16,130 --> 00:04:18,258
I'm simply
pointing it out.
91
00:04:18,258 --> 00:04:19,593
Although,
I got to tell ya,
92
00:04:19,593 --> 00:04:20,801
I don't know how
many more pep rallies
93
00:04:20,801 --> 00:04:23,722
and spirit cookies
I can actually stomach.
94
00:04:23,722 --> 00:04:26,516
Your school has
an important game coming up.
95
00:04:26,516 --> 00:04:30,937
Right now they need
your leadership and verve.
96
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:32,897
Back when I was
on the pep squad,
97
00:04:32,897 --> 00:04:35,692
we relished the opportunity
to show off our team spirit
98
00:04:35,692 --> 00:04:37,902
by wearing our uniforms
to school.
99
00:04:41,615 --> 00:04:43,074
Grams, I hate
to break it to you,
100
00:04:43,074 --> 00:04:46,786
but you were showing off
a bit more than just
team spirit.
101
00:04:48,788 --> 00:04:51,416
Jennifer.
102
00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:11,561
Like, oh, my god,
go team. Ha ha. Ha ha.
103
00:05:11,561 --> 00:05:13,271
For a minute I thought
you'd been possessed
104
00:05:13,271 --> 00:05:16,232
by these school spirit
creatures from planet
overzealous.
105
00:05:16,232 --> 00:05:17,651
Not quite yet,
but I am thinking about
106
00:05:17,651 --> 00:05:19,527
making a run for it
before the pods hatch.
107
00:05:19,527 --> 00:05:21,279
What do you say, Scully?
108
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,572
Cut class with you?
109
00:05:22,572 --> 00:05:26,242
Sounds delectable.
I'll pass.
110
00:05:26,242 --> 00:05:29,120
What if I told you that
there was a mission
to my madness?
111
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,371
Are you serious?
112
00:05:30,371 --> 00:05:32,791
But of course.
Ze misseur in
the stylish shirt
113
00:05:32,791 --> 00:05:34,834
request the presence
of the madame
114
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:37,211
for a very pressing
appointment, ja?
115
00:05:37,211 --> 00:05:38,338
What is it?
116
00:05:38,338 --> 00:05:39,922
Well, that would be
the surprise part.
117
00:05:39,922 --> 00:05:41,299
Just tell me, Pacey.
118
00:05:41,299 --> 00:05:43,677
Let me think
about that...nope.
119
00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:45,303
Well, fine.
You won't tell me,
120
00:05:45,303 --> 00:05:46,387
then I'm not
going anywhere.
121
00:05:46,387 --> 00:05:49,140
Oh, little Joe,
you're so cute.
122
00:05:49,140 --> 00:05:50,809
But friend to friend,
honestly,
123
00:05:50,809 --> 00:05:53,186
you should check into
some more of those
feigning disinterest classes.
124
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:57,106
Oh, thanks.
But trust me, Pacey,
I couldn't care less.
125
00:05:57,106 --> 00:05:58,941
Well, ok.
126
00:05:58,941 --> 00:06:01,110
Whether or not you're
actually interested,
127
00:06:01,110 --> 00:06:02,821
you have about 10 seconds
to make up your mind
128
00:06:02,821 --> 00:06:04,238
after I round that corner.
Starting now.
129
00:06:04,238 --> 00:06:06,240
One...
130
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,992
2...
131
00:06:07,992 --> 00:06:10,119
3...
132
00:06:16,250 --> 00:06:18,628
6 seconds?!
133
00:06:18,628 --> 00:06:21,756
6? I mean, come on.
Have you no pride?
134
00:06:21,756 --> 00:06:23,299
I thought you'd last
at least to 8.
135
00:06:23,299 --> 00:06:24,967
I loathe you.
136
00:06:24,967 --> 00:06:27,261
People have been shocked
at how well you've
taken to the game.
137
00:06:27,261 --> 00:06:29,055
Did you love football
as a child?
138
00:06:29,055 --> 00:06:32,141
Heh. I've only been
playing football
for a few weeks.
139
00:06:32,141 --> 00:06:35,228
I think the only subject
I know less about is
being gay, actually.
140
00:06:35,228 --> 00:06:37,772
I--I don't know.
141
00:06:37,772 --> 00:06:39,733
Some things are
just instinct maybe.
142
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:41,275
Well, one thing
Jack has learned
143
00:06:41,275 --> 00:06:43,528
is the importance of
starting practice on time.
144
00:06:43,528 --> 00:06:45,238
Go stretch out to run
your 40s.
Yes, sir.
145
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:47,365
And taking a tenth off
yesterday doesn't mean
you can coast.
146
00:06:47,365 --> 00:06:49,283
Ok. Gotta go.
147
00:06:49,283 --> 00:06:50,577
Uh, no problem. Ahem.
148
00:06:50,577 --> 00:06:52,245
We can take care of
the coach Leery interview.
149
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:54,080
What do you say, Dad?
150
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,331
Uh, not now, Dawson.
151
00:06:55,331 --> 00:06:56,499
But, Dad,
it's due tomorrow.
152
00:06:56,499 --> 00:06:58,959
Dawson, you can
get an extension.
153
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:00,795
Me, I've got
a game on Saturday,
154
00:07:00,795 --> 00:07:04,841
and I need these guys
completely focused
on football, ok?
155
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:07,635
Pick it up!
156
00:07:09,095 --> 00:07:11,055
He wore it in
-the B.C./
-Miami game.
157
00:07:11,055 --> 00:07:13,057
Spit it out right after
throwing the hail Mary.
158
00:07:13,057 --> 00:07:14,517
Right when
the whistle blew,
159
00:07:14,517 --> 00:07:17,729
my brother, he ran onto
the field and grabbed it.
160
00:07:17,729 --> 00:07:19,105
Well, the dude's got
some big molars.
161
00:07:19,105 --> 00:07:20,690
They're crowns, actually.
162
00:07:20,690 --> 00:07:22,650
Check out
the number 2 bicuspids.
163
00:07:22,650 --> 00:07:25,152
Remind you of anyone?
164
00:07:25,152 --> 00:07:27,363
Hey, what's
everybody looking at?
165
00:07:29,532 --> 00:07:31,409
Oh, uh, well, apparently
we're looking at
166
00:07:31,409 --> 00:07:33,035
Doug Flutie’s
old mouthpiece.
167
00:07:33,035 --> 00:07:34,871
A mouthpiece?
168
00:07:36,539 --> 00:07:39,709
That was actually
in his mouth?
169
00:07:39,709 --> 00:07:41,920
Well, that's disgusting.
170
00:07:44,881 --> 00:07:46,591
Henry says it's
his good luck charm.
171
00:07:47,550 --> 00:07:49,719
Henry needs
his head examined.
172
00:07:53,222 --> 00:07:54,974
What am I gonna do, Jack?
173
00:07:54,974 --> 00:07:57,184
I gotta do something.
174
00:07:57,184 --> 00:08:01,021
Jen Lindley, her voice
is the sweetest music.
175
00:08:01,021 --> 00:08:04,317
Her very name is
fire in my loins.
176
00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:06,152
Uh, just a thought,
Henry,
177
00:08:06,152 --> 00:08:09,155
but next time you might
want to just start
by saying hello.
178
00:08:14,828 --> 00:08:18,080
Hey, we missed you
this morning at
the spirit table.
179
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,874
Where were you?
We were worried
about you.
180
00:08:19,874 --> 00:08:22,502
Look, you guys, I stayed
really late at that
pep rally yesterday,
181
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:23,878
um, I have limits.
182
00:08:23,878 --> 00:08:25,505
Is this
a low-iron day?
183
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:27,632
Yeah, try not to let
anyone else see you,
184
00:08:27,632 --> 00:08:30,008
'cause it might hurt
the auction.
185
00:08:30,008 --> 00:08:31,010
Auction?
186
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:31,970
The silent auction.
187
00:08:31,970 --> 00:08:34,096
Yeah, you should be
really proud.
188
00:08:34,096 --> 00:08:36,390
It's like the most
successful one
we've ever had.
189
00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:38,309
Like, half the senior guys
have already put in their bids.
190
00:08:39,352 --> 00:08:40,728
What are you
auctioning off?
191
00:08:40,728 --> 00:08:44,398
Well, the winner
gets to ride in
on the minuteman mule
192
00:08:44,398 --> 00:08:45,692
at the end of the game.
193
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:48,569
Uh-huh,
and receive a kiss from
the head cheerleader.
194
00:08:48,569 --> 00:08:51,531
Oh, no, they don't.
195
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:53,366
Now, Jenny--
196
00:08:53,366 --> 00:08:56,034
Jen. Ok? It's Jen.
197
00:08:56,034 --> 00:08:58,538
You know, this whole thing
just started as a bad joke,
198
00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:00,832
an excuse to get out
of biology,
199
00:09:00,832 --> 00:09:02,583
but do you see
what it's turned into?
200
00:09:02,583 --> 00:09:05,837
I have pranced around
in front of this entire
school at pep rallies
201
00:09:05,837 --> 00:09:08,381
without even knowing
what the hell pep is.
202
00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:11,384
I have listened to
clack and prattle
about car washes,
203
00:09:11,384 --> 00:09:12,927
dance-a-thons,
and dog-sitting
204
00:09:12,927 --> 00:09:14,679
until I think I'm gonna
puke up my homemade
spirit cookies.
205
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:15,972
Jenny--
206
00:09:15,972 --> 00:09:17,849
And despite this itch
I am getting on my ass
207
00:09:17,849 --> 00:09:19,225
from this polyester
molest-me skirt,
208
00:09:19,225 --> 00:09:21,728
I've done it all with
a smile on my face.
209
00:09:21,728 --> 00:09:23,646
But you know what, ladies,
the smile is gone.
210
00:09:23,646 --> 00:09:25,982
I'm sorry, but there is
no way I'm going to be
sold off
211
00:09:25,982 --> 00:09:28,150
like some harem girl
to the highest bidder.
212
00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:30,194
Everyone has a limit,
and I've reached mine.
213
00:09:30,194 --> 00:09:31,821
I quit.
214
00:09:41,497 --> 00:09:42,498
Ohh!
215
00:09:42,498 --> 00:09:44,834
Oh, uh, uh...
216
00:09:44,834 --> 00:09:46,085
E.T.S.?
217
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:48,379
Stop. Drop that folder.
218
00:09:48,379 --> 00:09:49,589
Back away
from the material.
219
00:09:49,589 --> 00:09:51,674
Yes, sir.
220
00:09:51,674 --> 00:09:53,091
Keep your hands
in plain sight.
221
00:09:55,219 --> 00:09:57,847
Are you with
the educational
testing service?
222
00:09:57,847 --> 00:09:59,557
That's confidential.
223
00:09:59,557 --> 00:10:01,225
I just hope nobody
at Capeside High
224
00:10:01,225 --> 00:10:02,685
has done anything wrong,
225
00:10:02,685 --> 00:10:05,563
broken any rules, compromised
the integrity of the exam.
226
00:10:05,563 --> 00:10:06,564
Passing along
that information
227
00:10:06,564 --> 00:10:08,608
would constitute
a breach of security.
228
00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:09,984
Of course.
229
00:10:09,984 --> 00:10:11,235
Do you know where
Principal Green is?
230
00:10:11,235 --> 00:10:12,612
No, sir.
231
00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:14,280
But before you go,
232
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,117
let me express my regret
and recalcitrance
at this incident.
233
00:10:18,117 --> 00:10:19,744
Recalcitrance?
234
00:10:19,744 --> 00:10:21,913
Um, I mean, repentance.
235
00:10:21,913 --> 00:10:24,457
Repentance,
as in contrition,
236
00:10:24,457 --> 00:10:27,334
compunction, you know,
contriteness.
237
00:10:28,335 --> 00:10:30,588
Good day, ma'am.
238
00:10:30,588 --> 00:10:32,715
Watch yourself.
239
00:10:38,930 --> 00:10:41,099
This isn't
a surprise, Pacey.
240
00:10:41,099 --> 00:10:42,976
It's a death march
on a deserted road.
241
00:10:42,976 --> 00:10:44,644
We're almost there.
242
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:46,520
Why didn't we
just drive?
243
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,022
Because, Potter,
on occasion,
244
00:10:48,022 --> 00:10:50,108
my father actually
likes to use his car.
245
00:10:50,108 --> 00:10:54,112
So I risk my future
so I can stand in line
at the post office
246
00:10:54,112 --> 00:10:55,655
and then traipse 5 miles
through the wilderness
247
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:56,864
carrying some
stupid package.
248
00:10:58,157 --> 00:10:59,700
You know, did you ever
stop to think
249
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:01,911
about how much
hormonally-charged
energy you waste
250
00:11:01,911 --> 00:11:04,204
on these quick quips
and the biting banter?
251
00:11:04,204 --> 00:11:07,166
Your life would be
considerably more productive
252
00:11:07,166 --> 00:11:08,501
if you would just
take some more, uh...
253
00:11:08,501 --> 00:11:12,672
Oh! What is that?
Some more...action.
254
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:13,756
If you took more action.
255
00:11:13,756 --> 00:11:15,591
Oh, like voluntary
manslaughter?
256
00:11:15,591 --> 00:11:18,719
Well, how about like
sticking out your thumb, huh?
257
00:11:18,719 --> 00:11:20,513
Oh, yeah?
What else?
258
00:11:20,513 --> 00:11:23,599
Maybe hike up my skirt,
pout my lips,
259
00:11:23,599 --> 00:11:26,352
strike some sexy pose
for a horndog trucker?
260
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:28,312
Stick out your own thumb,
you sexist toad.
261
00:11:28,312 --> 00:11:31,065
I am not a sexist.
I am a pragmatist, ok?
262
00:11:31,065 --> 00:11:32,817
You ever seen
The Sure Thing?
263
00:11:32,817 --> 00:11:36,362
That film elegantly
portrays one of life's
simple truths.
264
00:11:36,362 --> 00:11:38,031
That a female, standing
on the side of the road,
265
00:11:38,031 --> 00:11:40,533
even one with
a perpetual scowl
such as yourself,
266
00:11:40,533 --> 00:11:42,576
has a better chance
of flagging down a car
than a guy.
267
00:11:42,576 --> 00:11:44,745
Since I'm the only one here
with an opposable thumb,
268
00:11:44,745 --> 00:11:46,831
I guess it's up to me
to use it.
269
00:11:46,831 --> 00:11:47,915
And here's your chance.
270
00:11:51,418 --> 00:11:52,837
Uhh!
271
00:12:04,306 --> 00:12:05,307
Hi.
272
00:12:08,226 --> 00:12:09,979
Today's your lucky day,
Miss Potter.
273
00:12:09,979 --> 00:12:12,606
Need a ride
back to school?
274
00:12:12,606 --> 00:12:15,442
Thanks.
275
00:12:16,443 --> 00:12:17,653
Ohh!
276
00:12:18,905 --> 00:12:21,908
Oh! Principal Green, hoo!
277
00:12:21,908 --> 00:12:24,118
Thank god you are here.
278
00:12:24,118 --> 00:12:25,494
In preparing for
our botany assignment,
279
00:12:25,494 --> 00:12:26,829
it appears that
Josephine and I--
280
00:12:26,829 --> 00:12:28,915
We wandered
significantly farther
away from the school
281
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:30,041
than we had
anticipated.
282
00:12:30,041 --> 00:12:32,085
Frankly, I was
beginning to worry
283
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:33,794
that we weren't going
to make it home
by nightfall.
284
00:12:36,380 --> 00:12:37,757
That's a good one,
Pacey.
285
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:39,592
Heh heh.
286
00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:41,594
Well, you know,
let it never be said
287
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:43,137
that I'm lacking
in the creativity department.
288
00:12:43,137 --> 00:12:44,262
Let's hope
you're not lacking
289
00:12:44,262 --> 00:12:46,099
in the calamine lotion
department either.
290
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:48,350
Now, put down
the poison oak
291
00:12:48,350 --> 00:12:49,977
and get your butts
in my car.
292
00:12:49,977 --> 00:12:53,480
Heh, ah,
after you, Josephine.
293
00:12:57,484 --> 00:13:00,113
All right, Dad.
294
00:13:02,364 --> 00:13:03,365
Dad.
295
00:13:03,365 --> 00:13:04,366
Huh?
296
00:13:04,366 --> 00:13:05,325
Look, I know you're busy.
297
00:13:05,325 --> 00:13:06,410
I just need 10 minutes
of your time.
298
00:13:06,410 --> 00:13:07,411
I'll be out of your hair.
299
00:13:07,411 --> 00:13:09,663
Can't it just wait
till after the game?
300
00:13:09,663 --> 00:13:12,374
I promise I'll have
plenty of time for ya
after Saturday.
301
00:13:12,374 --> 00:13:14,334
Dad, I got to fed-ex
this thing out.
302
00:13:14,334 --> 00:13:16,003
Fed-ex?
303
00:13:16,003 --> 00:13:17,171
To Mom at the station.
304
00:13:17,171 --> 00:13:20,466
Station?
305
00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:22,051
What are you
talkin' about?
306
00:13:22,051 --> 00:13:24,095
The story
I'm doing on Jack.
307
00:13:24,095 --> 00:13:27,056
Your mother wants to do
a story on Jack?
308
00:13:27,056 --> 00:13:29,100
I want to do a story on Jack.
I am doing a story on Jack.
309
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:30,768
This is gonna go
on television?
310
00:13:30,768 --> 00:13:32,103
When?
311
00:13:32,103 --> 00:13:34,105
Hopefully tomorrow.
Dad, we talked about this.
312
00:13:34,105 --> 00:13:35,773
I thought this was one
of your school projects.
313
00:13:35,773 --> 00:13:37,191
It is a project.
314
00:13:37,191 --> 00:13:38,400
Dad, remember last night
in your kitchen
315
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,153
the blond-haired kid
who was moving his lips?
316
00:13:40,153 --> 00:13:41,654
That was actually me
telling you this.
317
00:13:41,654 --> 00:13:45,116
Dawson,
this is the last thing
that I need right now.
318
00:13:45,116 --> 00:13:46,492
Oh, why is that?
319
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:48,077
Because football
is a head game,
320
00:13:48,077 --> 00:13:50,496
and I can't risk
my best player
or any player
321
00:13:50,496 --> 00:13:51,497
for that matter,
losing focus.
322
00:13:51,497 --> 00:13:53,124
I've worked
too damn hard.
323
00:13:53,124 --> 00:13:55,459
Forgive me
if my entire future
324
00:13:55,459 --> 00:13:57,211
conflicts with your
precious football team.
325
00:13:57,211 --> 00:13:59,755
Aw, don't be
so theatrical.
326
00:13:59,755 --> 00:14:02,133
I'm the one with
the football-loving
principal
327
00:14:02,133 --> 00:14:04,718
breathing down my neck.
I am trying to build
something here.
328
00:14:04,718 --> 00:14:06,637
What do you think
I'm doing,
329
00:14:06,637 --> 00:14:09,056
dabbling in a hobby?
330
00:14:09,056 --> 00:14:10,516
That's the kind
of opportunity
331
00:14:10,516 --> 00:14:12,226
I've waited for
my entire life.
332
00:14:12,226 --> 00:14:15,813
All 16 years of it?
333
00:14:15,813 --> 00:14:17,023
Oh, so, the importance
of a person's dreams
334
00:14:17,023 --> 00:14:18,607
is measured by their age?
335
00:14:18,607 --> 00:14:23,279
There will be plenty
of other opportunities,
believe me.
336
00:14:24,446 --> 00:14:26,364
Are you telling me
not to do this?
337
00:14:26,364 --> 00:14:29,076
I don't have to.
338
00:14:29,076 --> 00:14:32,079
Because I know you'll
make the right choice.
339
00:14:58,564 --> 00:15:02,109
Hey.
340
00:15:02,109 --> 00:15:04,403
You must be lost.
Bimbo cove is up the creek,
341
00:15:04,403 --> 00:15:06,947
right past
brainless bay.
342
00:15:06,947 --> 00:15:08,282
You can save
your ammunition, Joey.
343
00:15:08,282 --> 00:15:09,367
Eve and I aren't
on speaking terms.
344
00:15:09,367 --> 00:15:11,244
You mean, you guys
actually talked?
345
00:15:11,244 --> 00:15:13,537
Among other things, yes.
346
00:15:14,955 --> 00:15:16,374
I need some advice.
347
00:15:18,417 --> 00:15:21,379
What else are dumped
ex-girlfriends for?
348
00:15:21,379 --> 00:15:23,463
It's about my father.
349
00:15:23,463 --> 00:15:25,216
Your father?
What about him?
350
00:15:25,216 --> 00:15:28,302
He told me not to do
the story on Jack and
the football team.
351
00:15:28,302 --> 00:15:29,636
He did?
352
00:15:29,636 --> 00:15:31,889
Well, not in so many words.
353
00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:33,891
He thinks it might
jeopardize his career.
354
00:15:33,891 --> 00:15:36,894
His chances
against Woodward.
355
00:15:36,894 --> 00:15:41,481
No offense, Dawson,
but doesn't a nationally
televised broadcast
356
00:15:41,481 --> 00:15:43,401
kind of overshadow
a high school football
rivalry?
357
00:15:43,401 --> 00:15:45,778
You'd have thought.
I don't know.
358
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:47,405
I mean, look at it from
his point of view,
you know?
359
00:15:47,405 --> 00:15:49,865
The last couple of years
his cup hasn't exactly
runneth over.
360
00:15:49,865 --> 00:15:53,035
He had to
give up his dream of
a restaurant idea,
361
00:15:53,035 --> 00:15:56,330
his wife stepped out on him
with the Capeside equivalent
of Ted knight,
362
00:15:56,330 --> 00:16:00,334
and he's not exactly shining
as a substitute teacher.
363
00:16:00,334 --> 00:16:02,002
So if you go ahead
with the story,
364
00:16:02,002 --> 00:16:03,379
he could lose
more than the game.
365
00:16:03,379 --> 00:16:05,464
He could lose
his self-respect.
366
00:16:05,464 --> 00:16:07,466
Yeah.
367
00:16:07,466 --> 00:16:09,843
What do you think?
368
00:16:09,843 --> 00:16:13,764
Well, I think that
the swords that are
the father and son
369
00:16:13,764 --> 00:16:15,474
have finally
crossed in conflict.
370
00:16:15,474 --> 00:16:18,602
I mean, face it, Dawson,
this is the stuff
of Greek drama.
371
00:16:18,602 --> 00:16:22,606
Yeah, but is this
tragedy or comedy?
372
00:16:22,606 --> 00:16:25,151
Sometimes
we fight our fathers,
and they respect us
373
00:16:25,151 --> 00:16:28,862
and...sometimes...
374
00:16:28,862 --> 00:16:34,660
We fight them and...
We lose them forever.
375
00:16:37,704 --> 00:16:40,624
You have to decide
how you want to live
your life.
376
00:16:40,624 --> 00:16:43,336
You know? What you
can tolerate and...
377
00:16:43,336 --> 00:16:46,046
And what you're
willing to lose.
378
00:16:48,424 --> 00:16:50,426
Oh, god, this is
so important to me,
379
00:16:50,426 --> 00:16:52,510
but if I do it,
it's gonna kill him.
380
00:16:53,471 --> 00:16:55,431
Well...
381
00:16:55,431 --> 00:16:56,849
I hate to break it
to ya, Dawson,
382
00:16:56,849 --> 00:16:58,351
but according to Freud,
383
00:16:58,351 --> 00:17:00,602
that's exactly what
sons are supposed to do.
384
00:17:07,276 --> 00:17:08,902
I dubbed this for ya.
385
00:17:08,902 --> 00:17:10,488
What's this?
386
00:17:10,488 --> 00:17:13,573
Heh. Something I found.
387
00:17:13,573 --> 00:17:14,783
Made me smile.
388
00:17:16,618 --> 00:17:18,662
I guess, now, you could
call it a thank you.
389
00:17:27,213 --> 00:17:29,256
It must be
dried saliva.
390
00:17:29,256 --> 00:17:33,010
No, it's a zipper mark
from the pillow.
391
00:17:33,010 --> 00:17:36,889
Yes, that bright sensation
in your eyes is,
indeed, sunlight.
392
00:17:36,889 --> 00:17:39,099
Rise and shine,
dear girl.
393
00:17:39,099 --> 00:17:41,768
These lovely young ladies
have an urgent matter
to discuss with you.
394
00:17:41,768 --> 00:17:44,146
I told you that I was
finished with cheerleading.
395
00:17:44,146 --> 00:17:48,526
And unless one of you
is hiding a very large
cup of black coffee
396
00:17:48,526 --> 00:17:51,070
under her pompoms,
I suggest you leave.
397
00:17:51,070 --> 00:17:52,363
Oh, no, we respect
your decision
398
00:17:52,363 --> 00:17:54,156
to resign from
the squad,
399
00:17:54,156 --> 00:17:56,200
Madison has accepted
the leadership challenge.
400
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,328
But please, you must
reconsider the kiss.
401
00:17:59,328 --> 00:18:01,997
Someone has
bid $500.
402
00:18:01,997 --> 00:18:04,791
But they've specifically
stipulated that the kiss
must come from you.
403
00:18:04,791 --> 00:18:07,086
I don't care if they bid
the kingdom of Brunei,
404
00:18:07,086 --> 00:18:08,712
I'm not for sale.
405
00:18:08,712 --> 00:18:12,299
What are we gonna tell
the children of
the cchpc?
406
00:18:12,299 --> 00:18:14,134
The what?
407
00:18:14,134 --> 00:18:18,722
The Capeside county home
for parentless children.
408
00:18:18,722 --> 00:18:20,640
Orphans? That--
409
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,018
That's what
the auction is for?
410
00:18:23,018 --> 00:18:25,187
Orphans?
411
00:18:25,187 --> 00:18:27,481
Ohh...
412
00:18:37,157 --> 00:18:38,534
Uh, Miss McPhee.
413
00:18:38,534 --> 00:18:39,785
Been looking
for you.
414
00:18:39,785 --> 00:18:40,911
Principal Green.
415
00:18:40,911 --> 00:18:42,829
Yes, listen, uh,
a critical problem
416
00:18:42,829 --> 00:18:43,789
has been brought
to my attention,
417
00:18:43,789 --> 00:18:46,083
and I need to talk
to you about it.
418
00:18:46,083 --> 00:18:47,543
What sort
of problem, sir?
419
00:18:47,543 --> 00:18:49,711
It's
a disciplinary matter.
420
00:18:49,711 --> 00:18:51,171
Disciplinary?
421
00:18:51,171 --> 00:18:54,049
Yes. Now, I’m
unable to discuss it
with you at length now,
422
00:18:54,049 --> 00:18:55,633
but if you come
to my office Monday,
423
00:18:55,633 --> 00:18:59,012
we'll sit down and
go over all of our
options in detail.
424
00:19:00,013 --> 00:19:01,348
Options...yes, sir.
425
00:19:01,348 --> 00:19:04,518
Monday morning.
Be there.
426
00:19:11,108 --> 00:19:15,028
So, since Mr. Witter's
attempt at lying to me
was so creative,
427
00:19:15,028 --> 00:19:18,115
I've come up with
a little creative
response in kind.
428
00:19:18,115 --> 00:19:20,493
Well, coming from
a just-minded soul
such as yourself,
429
00:19:20,493 --> 00:19:23,412
I'm sure your punishment
will be nothing
but fair, sir.
430
00:19:23,412 --> 00:19:24,746
Oh, thank you,
Eddie Haskell.
431
00:19:24,746 --> 00:19:26,790
Where is your
school spirit, Josephine?
432
00:19:26,790 --> 00:19:28,542
I think I left it
cowering in the bushes.
433
00:19:28,542 --> 00:19:30,210
Now that is
a gross misconception.
434
00:19:30,210 --> 00:19:33,005
I hurled myself upon
the flames of responsibility.
435
00:19:33,005 --> 00:19:35,215
I hope a deer tick
crawled in your ear
and laid eggs.
436
00:19:35,215 --> 00:19:37,092
Enough!
437
00:19:37,092 --> 00:19:38,969
Honestly.
438
00:19:38,969 --> 00:19:41,180
I am not sure how to get
through to the two of you,
439
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:43,890
but since you obviously
have an affinity
for one another,
440
00:19:43,890 --> 00:19:46,268
here's what
I have in mind.
441
00:19:47,227 --> 00:19:48,437
No way.
442
00:19:48,437 --> 00:19:49,855
Oh, that's not
gonna happen.
443
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:53,066
Oh, I'm glad to see
we're all in agreement here.
444
00:19:56,612 --> 00:19:57,988
I can't believe
he caught the thing.
445
00:19:57,988 --> 00:19:59,865
It was way
over his head.
446
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:00,949
Hey!
447
00:20:00,949 --> 00:20:02,326
Hey.
448
00:20:02,326 --> 00:20:03,869
What's wrong?
449
00:20:03,869 --> 00:20:06,038
Nothing's wrong.
Why should anything
be wrong?
450
00:20:06,038 --> 00:20:08,957
Because you're sitting
in a stairwell of
a public high school.
451
00:20:08,957 --> 00:20:11,502
Unless you're smoking
or making out,
452
00:20:11,502 --> 00:20:14,129
it's cause for concern.
453
00:20:14,129 --> 00:20:16,006
Come on,
I'm going to meet Dawson.
454
00:20:16,006 --> 00:20:17,216
We're gonna check out
the footage from
my interview.
455
00:20:17,216 --> 00:20:18,551
You went
through with it?
456
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:19,843
Yeah. It was cool.
It went great.
457
00:20:19,843 --> 00:20:22,137
Well, it may seem
that way today,
458
00:20:22,137 --> 00:20:24,139
but anything could
happen tomorrow to rock
your safe little world.
459
00:20:24,139 --> 00:20:25,432
What?!
460
00:20:25,432 --> 00:20:27,726
Jack, maybe you
overlooked something.
461
00:20:27,726 --> 00:20:29,728
Maybe--maybe you didn't
see every angle.
462
00:20:29,728 --> 00:20:32,105
Maybe you had a terrible
moment of weakness.
463
00:20:32,105 --> 00:20:33,649
Maybe without even
realizing it,
464
00:20:33,649 --> 00:20:35,984
you totally,
irreversibly screwed up.
465
00:20:35,984 --> 00:20:38,778
Andie, it's not
that big a deal.
Why be so paranoid?
466
00:20:38,778 --> 00:20:41,574
Look, Jack,
you could live
your entire life
467
00:20:41,574 --> 00:20:45,118
on the straight and narrow
driving towards something
you believe in, then what?
468
00:20:45,118 --> 00:20:49,707
One tiny little mistake,
one little error in judgment,
469
00:20:49,707 --> 00:20:51,750
and the next thing you know,
your car's on the side
of the road,
470
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:53,711
flipped over,
wheels still spinning,
and the radio on.
471
00:20:53,711 --> 00:20:55,087
What the hell are you
talking about?
472
00:20:55,087 --> 00:20:57,590
I'm talking about
being publicly shamed,
473
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:59,216
exposed for what
you really are.
474
00:20:59,216 --> 00:21:00,926
I'm talking about
a life being ruined,
475
00:21:00,926 --> 00:21:02,302
cut short,
nipped in the butt,
476
00:21:02,302 --> 00:21:03,512
I'm talking about
breaking Dad's heart.
477
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:05,138
Dad?
478
00:21:05,138 --> 00:21:06,599
Think about how
he's gonna feel, Jack,
479
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:08,766
his disappointment,
his humiliation.
480
00:21:08,766 --> 00:21:11,019
We are his
pride and joy, Jack.
481
00:21:11,019 --> 00:21:12,854
Think about how hard
he's worked for us
over the years,
482
00:21:12,854 --> 00:21:14,690
how much he sacrificed.
And now this,
483
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:16,483
out in the open
for everyone to see.
484
00:21:16,483 --> 00:21:17,817
Just calm down,
all right?
485
00:21:17,817 --> 00:21:18,818
I mean, it's not like
I'm still in the closet.
486
00:21:18,818 --> 00:21:20,070
Dad already knows
I'm gay.
487
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:24,450
I know--
yeah, I know. I know.
488
00:21:24,450 --> 00:21:26,285
I just want you
to be careful, Jack.
489
00:21:26,285 --> 00:21:29,246
Every action
has a consequence.
490
00:21:29,246 --> 00:21:31,790
Be sure you think
this thing through.
491
00:21:35,335 --> 00:21:38,088
No one really seems to care
what I may or may not do
off the field.
492
00:21:38,088 --> 00:21:41,508
So you have no problem
playing against someone
who's openly gay?
493
00:21:41,508 --> 00:21:44,177
If a kid wants to come out
wearing lipstick and Rouge,
494
00:21:44,177 --> 00:21:47,013
we're gonna infringe on him
the way we infringe on
anybody else.
495
00:21:47,013 --> 00:21:48,140
No difference.
496
00:21:50,976 --> 00:21:52,645
Well...
497
00:21:55,814 --> 00:21:59,109
I just lost
the first game of
my coaching career.
498
00:22:01,153 --> 00:22:02,738
If you say so.
499
00:22:04,448 --> 00:22:07,075
Dawson, that just
went out to
3 million people.
500
00:22:07,075 --> 00:22:12,164
Not to mention
you interviewed
the opposing coach.
501
00:22:12,164 --> 00:22:14,874
So?
502
00:22:14,874 --> 00:22:17,210
So 2 days ago,
nobody knew how
good Jack was
503
00:22:17,210 --> 00:22:18,545
or who he is.
504
00:22:18,545 --> 00:22:20,964
Now the whole world
knows.
505
00:22:20,964 --> 00:22:22,924
You might as well
have gone out
506
00:22:22,924 --> 00:22:25,260
and painted
a bull's-eye
on his back.
507
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:27,262
You never explained
that to me, Dad.
508
00:22:27,262 --> 00:22:29,640
I didn't think I had to.
It's pretty damn
obvious!
509
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,433
Not to me it isn't!
510
00:22:31,433 --> 00:22:33,352
Instead of celebrating
my first professional
success in the world,
511
00:22:33,352 --> 00:22:35,521
we're sitting here
worrying about
a football game.
512
00:22:35,521 --> 00:22:39,149
Hey, don't make me out
to be the bad guy here,
Dawson.
513
00:22:39,149 --> 00:22:41,401
Yes, I'm angry,
just like you knew
I would be.
514
00:22:41,401 --> 00:22:44,488
We're talking about a team
that hasn't put a notch
in the win column in 3 years.
515
00:22:44,488 --> 00:22:46,657
Now what are we saying,
that I'm wasting
my time?
516
00:22:46,657 --> 00:22:49,075
No, but I want you
to have some perspective.
517
00:22:49,075 --> 00:22:50,910
I can't even discuss this
with you right now.
518
00:22:50,910 --> 00:22:52,705
You have no idea what
you're talkin' about!
519
00:22:52,705 --> 00:22:54,206
Thanks to you,
I don't.
520
00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:56,709
Ever since you
took this job, you
haven't spoken to me.
521
00:22:56,709 --> 00:22:58,043
I talk to you.
522
00:22:58,043 --> 00:22:59,961
Not the way you
talk to the guys
on your team.
523
00:22:59,961 --> 00:23:02,255
Well, you know what?
They respect me.
524
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:03,881
I respect you, Dad.
525
00:23:03,881 --> 00:23:07,344
It's just they're
more the kind of son
you wish you'd had.
526
00:23:07,344 --> 00:23:08,762
That is not true.
527
00:23:08,762 --> 00:23:12,265
Dawson, I hum the theme
from Close Encounters
528
00:23:12,265 --> 00:23:14,017
in my sleep!
529
00:23:14,017 --> 00:23:15,352
I reach out to you!
530
00:23:15,352 --> 00:23:17,521
And when we can't
find common ground,
531
00:23:17,521 --> 00:23:19,022
I give you
your space.
532
00:23:19,022 --> 00:23:21,358
And when I take it,
you get pissed off
at me.
533
00:23:21,358 --> 00:23:24,444
No. I'm just trying
to break you out of
your self-centered,
534
00:23:24,444 --> 00:23:26,946
self-righteous fantasy world
long enough to look out for
other people.
535
00:23:26,946 --> 00:23:29,282
Since when is it
my responsibility
to look out for you?
536
00:23:29,282 --> 00:23:31,117
What are you saying?
537
00:23:31,117 --> 00:23:34,037
I'm saying I parent you,
Dad. I walk in on you
having sex.
538
00:23:34,037 --> 00:23:35,913
I give you advice.
I'm the kid around here!
539
00:23:35,913 --> 00:23:38,166
Sometimes I might even
act like it!
540
00:23:51,971 --> 00:23:55,434
Defense! Whoo whoo! Defense!
541
00:24:00,522 --> 00:24:02,940
Come on,
let's hit him!
Hit him! Hit him!
542
00:24:20,918 --> 00:24:23,961
Go back to tetherball,
you limp-wristed homo!
543
00:24:23,961 --> 00:24:26,005
This is getting
ugly.
544
00:24:26,005 --> 00:24:28,133
Crackback, damn it!
Crackback, crackback!
545
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:31,511
Right guard blocks down.
Litvack takes out the end!
546
00:24:35,265 --> 00:24:37,684
They're keying on Jack.
He's getting killed
out there.
547
00:24:37,684 --> 00:24:40,228
And our running game's
DOA.
548
00:24:40,228 --> 00:24:43,148
Walk it off, McPhee!
Good man!
Walk it off!
549
00:24:43,148 --> 00:24:45,692
Walk it off.
Can't walk it off.
You walk it off.
550
00:24:45,692 --> 00:24:47,319
You all right?
Huddle up!
551
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:48,779
Let's go!
552
00:24:50,572 --> 00:24:52,908
So tell me the truth.
Is this all my fault?
553
00:24:52,908 --> 00:24:55,201
In a word...
554
00:24:55,201 --> 00:24:56,453
Yes.
555
00:24:57,788 --> 00:24:59,790
Look on the bright
side, Dawson.
556
00:24:59,790 --> 00:25:01,875
At least when this
is all over,
win or lose,
557
00:25:01,875 --> 00:25:04,043
you won't be on
the 50-yard line
558
00:25:04,043 --> 00:25:05,963
puckering your lips
for some spoiled brat
559
00:25:05,963 --> 00:25:08,005
with furry teeth
and halitosis.
560
00:25:09,549 --> 00:25:11,510
Just think of it
as method acting.
561
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:13,512
Think of it as
out of the question.
562
00:25:13,512 --> 00:25:14,847
I'll flip you for it.
Not a chance!
563
00:25:14,847 --> 00:25:16,515
Die die bo?
Forget it.
564
00:25:16,515 --> 00:25:19,100
Fine. I'll just cut to the chase
and beg you--please, Joey!
565
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:20,310
Please, please,
please!
566
00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:22,312
Don't make me
go out there.
567
00:25:22,312 --> 00:25:25,357
Look, I'm supposed to
be at work right now
making much-needed money,
568
00:25:25,357 --> 00:25:27,860
but instead, because of you,
I'm standing on a football field
569
00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:29,903
fighting over
the rear end of a mule.
570
00:25:29,903 --> 00:25:31,571
Fine. Fine. I was
just giving you
fair warning.
571
00:25:31,571 --> 00:25:34,031
What?
572
00:25:34,031 --> 00:25:36,952
I tend to get
a little carsick
in backseats.
573
00:25:46,252 --> 00:25:48,005
Principal Green?
574
00:25:48,005 --> 00:25:49,631
I made a mistake.
575
00:25:49,631 --> 00:25:52,258
Well...a terrible error
in judgment, really.
576
00:25:52,258 --> 00:25:55,387
I know that there's
no excuse for what I've done,
577
00:25:55,387 --> 00:25:58,598
so I won't waste your time,
but there is an explanation,
578
00:25:58,598 --> 00:26:02,561
one that I can only pray
you'll find in your heart
to understand.
579
00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:04,938
See, there's this guy...
580
00:26:04,938 --> 00:26:07,691
And when I met him,
it was like...
581
00:26:07,691 --> 00:26:09,735
Like a shade going up
in a dark room,
582
00:26:09,735 --> 00:26:12,404
light suddenly pouring in.
583
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:15,448
He understood me in a way
that no one ever did
or could.
584
00:26:15,448 --> 00:26:20,620
And then, just as suddenly,
the room got dark again.
585
00:26:20,620 --> 00:26:22,539
In my mind, I mean.
586
00:26:22,539 --> 00:26:25,166
See...
587
00:26:25,166 --> 00:26:28,085
Over the summer...
588
00:26:28,085 --> 00:26:31,924
I was treated
at a psychiatric hospital.
589
00:26:31,924 --> 00:26:36,511
I didn't have to stay long,
because I got better.
590
00:26:36,511 --> 00:26:39,514
But when I came back,
591
00:26:39,514 --> 00:26:42,350
I had lost the guy.
592
00:26:42,350 --> 00:26:45,062
He was...my soulmate.
593
00:26:45,062 --> 00:26:47,606
It was like having...
594
00:26:47,606 --> 00:26:53,486
An organ, my heart,
literally ripped from my body.
595
00:26:53,486 --> 00:26:56,531
And all I could feel
was cold and empty,
596
00:26:56,531 --> 00:26:58,951
my future slipping away.
597
00:26:58,951 --> 00:27:01,954
And I had
lost the love...
598
00:27:01,954 --> 00:27:04,748
So I was determined
not to lose my life,
599
00:27:04,748 --> 00:27:07,124
and that's why...
600
00:27:07,124 --> 00:27:09,920
I stole the test,
and that's why I cheated.
601
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,173
Because I wanted to try
to keep it from all
getting away from me,
602
00:27:14,173 --> 00:27:17,510
and...I know that
I only made things worse.
603
00:27:19,512 --> 00:27:21,890
So...
604
00:27:21,890 --> 00:27:25,142
Now all I can ask for
is your compassion.
605
00:27:43,787 --> 00:27:45,246
Let's go.
606
00:27:45,246 --> 00:27:46,748
Where are we going?
607
00:27:46,748 --> 00:27:48,291
To even the score.
608
00:27:50,127 --> 00:27:51,753
Come on, guys.
609
00:27:51,753 --> 00:27:52,963
You can't let 'em get to ya!
610
00:27:52,963 --> 00:27:54,213
They are psyching you out!
611
00:27:54,213 --> 00:27:55,590
Taking us out of our game plan.
612
00:27:55,590 --> 00:27:57,759
The truth is,
we're not moving the ball.
613
00:27:57,759 --> 00:27:58,969
We're not firing out
on defense!
614
00:27:58,969 --> 00:28:00,929
Suck in that gut
and go harder.
615
00:28:00,929 --> 00:28:03,140
A long time ago...
616
00:28:03,140 --> 00:28:05,600
There was a Chinese
warrior-philosopher.
617
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,811
General sun-tzu.
618
00:28:07,811 --> 00:28:11,564
Brilliant military strategist
who lived about 2,000 years ago.
619
00:28:13,650 --> 00:28:16,611
My dad has been telling me
about him ever since
I was a kid.
620
00:28:17,904 --> 00:28:19,948
What's with
the bucket?
621
00:28:19,948 --> 00:28:23,035
We're gonna turn
our weakness into a strength,
just like the general said.
622
00:28:23,035 --> 00:28:25,078
We're gonna start by
obscuring everyone's number
623
00:28:25,078 --> 00:28:26,997
so the other team
can't find Jack.
624
00:28:26,997 --> 00:28:28,999
That might work
for a couple of plays.
625
00:28:28,999 --> 00:28:30,709
That's why
it's only phase one.
626
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:32,209
So what's phase 2?
627
00:28:35,130 --> 00:28:37,174
Jen.
628
00:28:49,435 --> 00:28:50,979
All right,
let's get up there,
629
00:28:50,979 --> 00:28:53,106
get up there and hit
somebody now! Hit somebody!
630
00:28:53,106 --> 00:28:54,774
Here we go.
631
00:28:54,774 --> 00:28:56,651
Cross your fingers.
632
00:28:56,651 --> 00:28:58,403
Ready?
Break!
633
00:29:06,828 --> 00:29:08,663
Hey, coach, what's this?
634
00:29:16,963 --> 00:29:19,632
42, blue turk right.
635
00:29:19,632 --> 00:29:21,258
Double slot.
636
00:29:22,259 --> 00:29:25,222
Try and find the homo now!
637
00:29:26,514 --> 00:29:27,682
Set!
638
00:29:27,682 --> 00:29:29,101
Hike!
639
00:29:34,814 --> 00:29:37,943
21-4!
With 7 seconds left,
640
00:29:37,943 --> 00:29:39,569
the Minutemen
have one last chance.
641
00:29:39,569 --> 00:29:41,071
Can you get
a step on him, Jack?
642
00:29:41,071 --> 00:29:42,989
One more time.
What do you think?
643
00:29:42,989 --> 00:29:44,365
I think my mascara's
running.
644
00:29:45,366 --> 00:29:47,326
Just throw me the ball.
I'll catch it.
645
00:29:47,326 --> 00:29:48,745
Consider it done.
646
00:29:48,745 --> 00:29:50,789
All right, cradle out.
Drill-9 shiver.
647
00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:52,124
Broadside option,
flow-and-go.
648
00:29:52,124 --> 00:29:54,960
On 2. Ready?
Break!
649
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,088
- It's 4
-th in 14. The ball's
sitting on the 25-yard line.
650
00:30:18,858 --> 00:30:20,401
Hit him! Hit him!
651
00:30:25,448 --> 00:30:27,617
Touchdown!
It's a touchdown!
652
00:30:27,617 --> 00:30:30,162
Capeside wins!
653
00:30:33,123 --> 00:30:35,834
What an incredible comeback.
654
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:39,087
After a long, dry spell,
Capeside is victorious.
655
00:30:39,087 --> 00:30:45,218
Capeside 27-24.
656
00:30:45,218 --> 00:30:47,762
Outstanding!
657
00:30:47,762 --> 00:30:49,388
Mitch!
658
00:30:49,388 --> 00:30:50,556
Yes, sir.
659
00:30:50,556 --> 00:30:52,558
That was one of
the most irreverent
660
00:30:52,558 --> 00:30:55,979
and imaginative
game plans I've ever seen.
661
00:30:55,979 --> 00:30:57,354
Congratulations, coach!
662
00:30:57,354 --> 00:30:58,564
Thank you.
That's grea--
663
00:30:58,564 --> 00:30:59,899
Aah!
664
00:31:01,901 --> 00:31:04,946
One good deed down,
one to go.
665
00:31:04,946 --> 00:31:08,033
Jennifer Lindley,
once again a victim
of her own big heart.
666
00:31:08,033 --> 00:31:09,826
Don't push it, buddy.
667
00:31:09,826 --> 00:31:11,119
Uhh...
668
00:31:11,119 --> 00:31:13,412
Principal Green,
I need to talk to you!
669
00:31:13,412 --> 00:31:14,580
Not right now,
Andie.
670
00:31:14,580 --> 00:31:16,208
No, sir, it's important.
It cannot wait.
671
00:31:16,208 --> 00:31:17,834
We need to
clear this up.
672
00:31:17,834 --> 00:31:19,544
Ok, what is it?
673
00:31:19,544 --> 00:31:23,631
Well, I made a mistake.
Well, a terrible error
in judgment really.
674
00:31:23,631 --> 00:31:25,633
What kind of mistake?
675
00:31:25,633 --> 00:31:27,677
Well, I know there's
no excuse for what
I've done--
676
00:31:27,677 --> 00:31:30,180
What are you talking
about, Andie?
677
00:31:30,180 --> 00:31:32,807
Didn't you want
to talk to me?
678
00:31:32,807 --> 00:31:35,268
That was Monday.
I was gonna discuss it
with you on Monday.
679
00:31:35,268 --> 00:31:36,895
But if you must
know now,
680
00:31:36,895 --> 00:31:38,938
I'm forming a new
student disciplinary
committee,
681
00:31:38,938 --> 00:31:41,149
and I want you to be
in charge of it.
682
00:31:41,149 --> 00:31:43,360
Oh! Well...
I could do that.
683
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,778
I mean, I would be
honored to do that!
684
00:31:45,778 --> 00:31:49,074
Ok. Now, what was
this mistake you
were talking about?
685
00:31:50,242 --> 00:31:51,576
I shouldn't have
interrupted you.
686
00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:54,579
It's a mistake
to be so...impatient.
687
00:31:54,579 --> 00:31:56,831
But I'm working on it,
sir.
688
00:31:58,166 --> 00:32:00,626
Ok. I'll talk
to you later.
689
00:32:00,626 --> 00:32:02,795
I'm working on it.
690
00:32:10,929 --> 00:32:13,973
All right! Ok! Ok!
691
00:32:13,973 --> 00:32:17,518
And now,
ladies and gentlemen,
692
00:32:17,518 --> 00:32:20,563
the moment that you've
all been waiting for--
693
00:32:20,563 --> 00:32:23,149
The winner
of the silent auction
694
00:32:23,149 --> 00:32:26,278
who is entitled to one ride
on the minuteman mule
695
00:32:26,278 --> 00:32:30,115
and one heart-stopping kiss
from our head cheerleader.
696
00:32:30,115 --> 00:32:31,699
Ex-head cheerleader.
697
00:32:31,699 --> 00:32:32,992
And here he is!
698
00:32:48,841 --> 00:32:50,218
Henry?
699
00:32:53,012 --> 00:32:55,932
How the hell did you
get $500?
700
00:32:57,558 --> 00:33:00,228
M-M-Mouthpiece?
701
00:33:00,228 --> 00:33:01,896
Mouth--
702
00:33:01,896 --> 00:33:03,856
Wait a minute.
703
00:33:03,856 --> 00:33:06,985
You sold your--
your good luck
Doug Flutie
704
00:33:06,985 --> 00:33:09,446
memorial mouthpiece
just to kiss me?
705
00:33:13,032 --> 00:33:16,494
I don't know whether
to gag or be
incredibly touched.
706
00:33:19,122 --> 00:33:22,459
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss...
707
00:33:22,459 --> 00:33:26,629
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss,
kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss...
708
00:33:26,629 --> 00:33:28,631
You--you don't have to.
709
00:33:28,631 --> 00:33:30,133
Kiss, kiss, kiss,
kiss, kiss...
710
00:33:30,133 --> 00:33:32,344
If you don't want to.
711
00:33:32,344 --> 00:33:35,013
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss,
kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss..
712
00:33:35,013 --> 00:33:36,639
Kiss, kiss, kiss...
713
00:33:36,639 --> 00:33:38,057
Come here,
freshman.
714
00:33:38,057 --> 00:33:39,684
Kiss, kiss, kiss!
715
00:33:54,532 --> 00:33:57,035
Ok, ok,
everybody
go home!
716
00:33:57,035 --> 00:33:58,828
Show's over,
folks!
717
00:33:58,828 --> 00:34:00,413
Go home!
718
00:34:00,413 --> 00:34:02,623
No, no, no.
Not quite yet.
719
00:34:02,623 --> 00:34:05,043
We have a little
unfinished business
yet here.
720
00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:07,712
Ladies and gentlemen,
presenting to you
721
00:34:07,712 --> 00:34:11,716
your choice for Capeside's
1999 homecoming queen,
722
00:34:11,716 --> 00:34:13,885
Miss Jennifer Lindley!
723
00:34:25,146 --> 00:34:27,232
This isn't happening.
724
00:34:34,822 --> 00:34:37,867
See? I told you
everything would
work out fine.
725
00:34:37,867 --> 00:34:39,244
You did?
726
00:34:39,244 --> 00:34:41,287
Yeah! Everything
usually works out
for the best
727
00:34:41,287 --> 00:34:43,081
as long as you keep
a positive attitude.
728
00:34:43,081 --> 00:34:45,333
Positive attitude.
729
00:34:45,333 --> 00:34:47,544
Ok. Is this
before or after
730
00:34:47,544 --> 00:34:49,295
I disgraced the family's
good name
731
00:34:49,295 --> 00:34:52,173
and forever humiliated
our father, huh?
732
00:34:52,173 --> 00:34:54,050
Oh, I wouldn't
worry about that.
I'm sure he's over it.
733
00:34:54,050 --> 00:34:56,302
He's probably out
sailing or golfing
or wherever he is.
734
00:34:56,302 --> 00:34:58,179
I wouldn't give it
another thought.
735
00:34:58,179 --> 00:34:59,805
Andie, you're making
my head spin.
736
00:34:59,805 --> 00:35:03,101
Look, Jack, I am
just glad it's over.
737
00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:05,853
I can't tell you
how relieved I am.
738
00:35:05,853 --> 00:35:08,647
Hey, so who won
the game anyway?
739
00:35:12,777 --> 00:35:14,820
Somebody was so sweaty,
I couldn't even breathe!
740
00:35:14,820 --> 00:35:16,822
Well, somebody
wouldn't let me
take my shirt off.
741
00:35:16,822 --> 00:35:19,117
Well, somebody forgot
to open the air vent!
742
00:35:19,117 --> 00:35:20,618
Well, somebody
forgot to mention
743
00:35:20,618 --> 00:35:22,828
there were air vents
in the first place!
744
00:35:22,828 --> 00:35:25,623
I told you we never
should have listened
to those two slackers.
745
00:35:26,999 --> 00:35:28,751
This is it?
746
00:35:28,751 --> 00:35:31,170
This is the surprise?
747
00:35:31,170 --> 00:35:34,466
Isn't she beautiful?
748
00:35:34,466 --> 00:35:37,302
Yeah, in a Titanic
post iceberg
sort of way.
749
00:35:37,302 --> 00:35:38,970
Where did you
get this?
750
00:35:38,970 --> 00:35:39,971
This friend
of my brother's.
751
00:35:39,971 --> 00:35:41,389
He works down
in the marina.
752
00:35:41,389 --> 00:35:43,057
He rescued her after
the last hurricane.
753
00:35:43,057 --> 00:35:45,059
The guy who owned her
didn't want her
anymore,
754
00:35:45,059 --> 00:35:47,812
so I convinced him
to sell her to me
for, like, 200 bucks.
755
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:51,065
When I finish with
this boat, it is going
to be sheer perfection.
756
00:35:51,065 --> 00:35:52,525
Look at that.
757
00:35:52,525 --> 00:35:55,487
Pacey, do you know
how much money and time
it'll take you
758
00:35:55,487 --> 00:35:57,489
to even get this boat
to float?
759
00:35:57,489 --> 00:36:00,825
Yeah. Not a minute
more or less than as
long as it takes me.
760
00:36:00,825 --> 00:36:03,620
You watch, Potter.
Couple of months,
761
00:36:03,620 --> 00:36:05,871
I'll be sailing this baby
around the world.
762
00:36:05,871 --> 00:36:08,874
Well, I hate to
break it to you,
Captain Stubing,
763
00:36:08,874 --> 00:36:10,960
but you can't sail
around the world in
a 20-foot boat.
764
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,086
Sure, I can!
765
00:36:12,086 --> 00:36:13,879
Where are you gonna
put the supplies?
766
00:36:13,879 --> 00:36:15,881
Hey, the U.S.S. Minnow
was no bigger than this,
767
00:36:15,881 --> 00:36:17,925
and they found room for
all of Mr. Howell's money,
768
00:36:17,925 --> 00:36:19,718
all of the professor's tools,
all of ginger's clothes--
769
00:36:19,718 --> 00:36:23,139
and where do you think
you're going?
770
00:36:23,139 --> 00:36:25,308
Permission
to come aboard?
771
00:36:26,309 --> 00:36:28,019
Permission granted.
772
00:36:28,019 --> 00:36:29,145
Thank you.
773
00:36:30,813 --> 00:36:32,524
Ah.
774
00:36:32,524 --> 00:36:36,110
And now, the purpose
for our little foray
into truancy...
775
00:36:39,780 --> 00:36:41,282
What do you think?
776
00:36:41,282 --> 00:36:43,117
"True love"?
777
00:36:43,117 --> 00:36:45,036
Yeah. It's my girl's
name.
778
00:36:45,036 --> 00:36:47,372
It's kinda high on
the schmaltz factor, huh?
779
00:36:47,372 --> 00:36:48,873
Acutely.
780
00:36:50,833 --> 00:36:53,044
But sweet.
781
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:55,380
Remember, I told you
I needed your help
with something.
782
00:36:55,380 --> 00:36:56,714
With what?
783
00:36:58,424 --> 00:37:00,759
Start sandin'.
784
00:37:02,345 --> 00:37:04,763
You are so overboard.
785
00:37:56,899 --> 00:38:00,570
The night you were born,
I bawled like a baby.
786
00:38:04,282 --> 00:38:06,409
Did you really?
787
00:38:08,327 --> 00:38:11,372
I didn't know that.
788
00:38:11,372 --> 00:38:14,542
I think I cried
for 24 hours straight.
789
00:38:17,462 --> 00:38:20,131
Holding you so...
790
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:22,883
Small in my arms.
791
00:38:25,553 --> 00:38:28,347
I never knew I could
love anything so much...
792
00:38:28,347 --> 00:38:30,224
So fast...
793
00:38:30,224 --> 00:38:33,478
So utterly.
794
00:38:33,478 --> 00:38:35,812
Part of me
was terrified.
795
00:38:39,317 --> 00:38:44,280
Raising a son
is more a matter of faith
than most people know.
796
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,491
So's being one.
797
00:38:47,742 --> 00:38:49,827
You're right.
798
00:38:54,540 --> 00:38:56,626
I think I realized
something today.
799
00:38:56,626 --> 00:38:58,544
What?
800
00:38:58,544 --> 00:39:00,713
That my job
as a father...
801
00:39:00,713 --> 00:39:03,424
Isn't to give you
the whole picture,
802
00:39:03,424 --> 00:39:07,345
because the truth is,
I can't see it myself.
803
00:39:07,345 --> 00:39:10,931
My job
is to try and help...
804
00:39:10,931 --> 00:39:14,435
Every now and then
with a piece of the puzzle.
805
00:39:17,522 --> 00:39:19,315
You have helped me,
Dad.
806
00:39:19,315 --> 00:39:21,150
I hope so.
807
00:39:23,611 --> 00:39:27,740
But your...future,
your expectations,
808
00:39:27,740 --> 00:39:30,993
they belong to you.
809
00:39:30,993 --> 00:39:33,954
Don't let anybody
stand in the way.
810
00:39:36,165 --> 00:39:38,835
Not even me.
811
00:39:38,835 --> 00:39:41,879
You always push me
to be my own person,
812
00:39:41,879 --> 00:39:44,632
think for myself.
813
00:39:47,677 --> 00:39:49,887
I just did what
you taught me.
814
00:39:56,352 --> 00:39:58,229
So what do ya say
we go home,
815
00:39:58,229 --> 00:40:02,233
pop in a little
Close Encounters
or something, huh?
816
00:40:02,233 --> 00:40:03,359
Actually...
817
00:40:05,069 --> 00:40:07,613
I was thinking...
818
00:40:07,613 --> 00:40:09,906
How about
a game of catch?
819
00:40:14,537 --> 00:40:16,288
Gimme that.
820
00:40:18,207 --> 00:40:21,210
Why don't we leave
the football here
on the field
821
00:40:21,210 --> 00:40:23,003
where it belongs?
822
00:42:05,481 --> 00:42:06,524
Bye, Joey.
823
00:42:06,524 --> 00:42:08,150
Bye, Dawson.
