1
00:00:00,284 --> 00:00:02,036
Previously on Dawson's Creek
2
00:00:02,036 --> 00:00:04,707
This is the reason you covertly
hushed us this into the corner?
3
00:00:04,707 --> 00:00:07,366
Pacey, read the fine print, it says
"Educational Testing Service."
4
00:00:07,366 --> 00:00:08,591
It's gone.
5
00:00:08,591 --> 00:00:09,890
What's gone?
6
00:00:09,890 --> 00:00:11,866
Whoever stole the test
needs to give it back.
7
00:00:12,555 --> 00:00:14,264
Thank you.
- For what, man?
8
00:00:14,264 --> 00:00:15,682
Doing what I asked you to do.
9
00:00:15,682 --> 00:00:16,959
Taking care of Joey.
10
00:00:16,959 --> 00:00:18,852
One week, you're soul
mates, the next week,
11
00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:20,812
you're giving each other up
for the greater good.
12
00:00:20,812 --> 00:00:23,064
I mean, do you think it's possible
that sometime soon
13
00:00:23,064 --> 00:00:24,357
you could make up your mind?
14
00:00:24,357 --> 00:00:26,401
So what is it, a
girl or something?
15
00:00:26,401 --> 00:00:27,484
Is she pretty?
16
00:00:27,484 --> 00:00:29,364
That kind of pretty that
gives you butterflies,
17
00:00:29,364 --> 00:00:30,460
you know what I mean?
18
00:00:53,762 --> 00:00:55,972
I don't recall
requesting the pleasure
of your company, Pacey.
19
00:00:55,972 --> 00:00:57,682
Rag?
20
00:00:57,682 --> 00:00:58,808
Brush.
21
00:00:58,808 --> 00:00:59,935
You know,
22
00:00:59,935 --> 00:01:02,604
after Van Gogh
chopped off
his own ear,
23
00:01:02,604 --> 00:01:04,564
there was a rash
of copycat
mutilations
24
00:01:04,564 --> 00:01:05,899
amongst
his students.
25
00:01:07,234 --> 00:01:08,568
Your point being...
26
00:01:08,568 --> 00:01:10,279
Well, my point being
27
00:01:10,279 --> 00:01:12,155
that the whole world
reveres the artist,
28
00:01:12,155 --> 00:01:14,574
envies their talent,
wants to be just
like them.
29
00:01:14,574 --> 00:01:16,034
So that's what
I'm doing here.
30
00:01:16,034 --> 00:01:18,203
I'm hoping
some of your genius
will rub off on me.
31
00:01:18,203 --> 00:01:19,537
You got kicked out
of your house again.
32
00:01:19,537 --> 00:01:21,706
No. Not exactly
kicked out.
It's more like
33
00:01:21,706 --> 00:01:23,417
they're filming
a lifetime
original movie
34
00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:24,500
in my living room
right now.
35
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:26,920
And which one
of the Witter sisters
36
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,798
is in complete distress
right now?
37
00:01:29,798 --> 00:01:31,633
That would be
numero uno.
38
00:01:31,633 --> 00:01:33,593
Left the sergeant
major for conduct
unbecoming,
39
00:01:33,593 --> 00:01:34,803
fled back
to the home front,
40
00:01:34,803 --> 00:01:36,679
and, of course,
brought along
my screaming nieces.
41
00:01:36,679 --> 00:01:37,973
Oh.
42
00:01:37,973 --> 00:01:39,308
So I finally get my own room,
43
00:01:39,308 --> 00:01:41,893
and you have been exiled
to sofa city.
44
00:01:41,893 --> 00:01:43,312
Ouch.
45
00:01:43,312 --> 00:01:45,397
My sentiments
exactly.
46
00:01:47,274 --> 00:01:49,443
So, uh...
47
00:01:49,443 --> 00:01:51,736
So, what do you think?
48
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:55,031
Oh, is it done?
49
00:01:56,074 --> 00:01:57,367
Yes, it's done.
50
00:01:57,367 --> 00:01:58,701
I thought
that Principal Green
51
00:01:58,701 --> 00:02:00,412
had commissioned you guys
to do murals
52
00:02:00,412 --> 00:02:02,872
exemplifying
school spirit and unity.
53
00:02:02,872 --> 00:02:05,334
He did.
54
00:02:05,334 --> 00:02:07,377
Oh.
55
00:02:07,377 --> 00:02:10,046
Well...no offense,
but this looks
like something
56
00:02:10,046 --> 00:02:13,467
you'd find tattooed
on Kwai Chang Caine's
forehead.
57
00:02:15,010 --> 00:02:16,470
You don't like it.
58
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:18,388
I didn't say
I don't like it.
I'm...
59
00:02:18,388 --> 00:02:20,723
Pretty sure the rest
of the murals
60
00:02:20,723 --> 00:02:22,642
will probably
be a little more
traditional, but--
61
00:02:22,642 --> 00:02:25,061
What, like football players
and lighthouses?
62
00:02:25,061 --> 00:02:27,563
And what do they actually
say about the high school
experience?
63
00:02:27,563 --> 00:02:30,275
Joe, this is
the U.S. of a.
64
00:02:30,275 --> 00:02:31,485
We're a very prosaic
nation,
65
00:02:31,485 --> 00:02:32,986
and when we have art
in public places,
66
00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:34,988
we want it to be
about as subtle
as Godzilla.
67
00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:38,116
Yeah, but, Pacey,
don't you think that
art can have this power?
68
00:02:38,116 --> 00:02:40,160
I mean, it can bring
people together.
69
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,911
Oh, yeah,
absolutely.
70
00:02:41,911 --> 00:02:43,288
In museums,
71
00:02:43,288 --> 00:02:44,789
the thinking man's
pickup joint.
72
00:02:47,042 --> 00:02:49,127
And that's what I like
about you, Pacey.
73
00:02:49,127 --> 00:02:51,505
You just...go so deep.
74
00:02:51,505 --> 00:02:53,173
Thanks.
75
00:03:58,572 --> 00:04:00,865
No peeking.
76
00:04:00,865 --> 00:04:01,950
What, I don't get
a preview?
77
00:04:01,950 --> 00:04:03,159
No.
78
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:04,994
Why not? Pacey did.
79
00:04:04,994 --> 00:04:07,914
Dawson, the unveiling
is a crucial part
to any new work,
80
00:04:07,914 --> 00:04:11,585
and...I want you to have
the complete experience.
81
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:12,919
He didn't tell you
what it is, did he?
82
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:15,422
No. He didn't.
But he said
it was great.
83
00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:16,798
That means a lot,
coming from
84
00:04:16,798 --> 00:04:19,842
the world's
most discriminating
art critic.
85
00:04:19,842 --> 00:04:22,596
Hey. Well, he...
He knows what he likes.
86
00:04:22,596 --> 00:04:25,014
Dawson, Pacey's
prized possession
87
00:04:25,014 --> 00:04:27,934
is a black
velvet painting
of the baby Elvis.
88
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:29,311
No.
89
00:04:29,311 --> 00:04:32,355
So how's
your speech coming?
90
00:04:32,355 --> 00:04:34,983
I don't know why
I have to even say
anything. I mean,
91
00:04:34,983 --> 00:04:36,818
isn't an artist
just supposed
to let her work
92
00:04:36,818 --> 00:04:37,777
speak for itself?
93
00:04:37,777 --> 00:04:39,654
Yeah, but when PTAs
and the school board
94
00:04:39,654 --> 00:04:42,282
let you paint
something in the hallway
of a public school,
95
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:44,367
they expect a little
poignant ceremony in return.
96
00:04:44,367 --> 00:04:47,120
So are you
gonna be there?
97
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,371
Of course!
98
00:04:48,371 --> 00:04:49,664
I mean,
if you want me to.
99
00:04:49,664 --> 00:04:51,082
Yeah.
100
00:04:51,082 --> 00:04:52,041
I want you to.
101
00:04:52,041 --> 00:04:53,251
Ok.
102
00:04:53,251 --> 00:04:54,210
And whatever
you think,
103
00:04:54,210 --> 00:04:55,337
be honest
with me,
you know.
104
00:04:55,337 --> 00:04:57,005
Even if
you hate it--
105
00:04:57,005 --> 00:05:00,342
Even if I hate--
what makes you think
I'm gonna hate it?
106
00:05:00,342 --> 00:05:02,051
Nothing.
107
00:05:02,051 --> 00:05:03,719
It's just...
108
00:05:03,719 --> 00:05:06,139
The stepping out
from behind the curtain?
109
00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:09,934
I can understand that.
It can be terrifying.
110
00:05:09,934 --> 00:05:12,646
Up there in the lights
in front of all those people.
111
00:05:12,646 --> 00:05:14,897
Being judged.
112
00:05:14,897 --> 00:05:17,108
Well, it's even more
than that. I mean...
113
00:05:17,108 --> 00:05:18,860
I feel like I’m...
114
00:05:18,860 --> 00:05:21,737
Declaring myself
for the first time.
I mean...
115
00:05:21,737 --> 00:05:24,366
What I really think
about this place,
and...
116
00:05:24,366 --> 00:05:26,034
With everyone
staring at it,
117
00:05:26,034 --> 00:05:28,911
it's gonna be like
they're all looking
right into my soul.
118
00:05:30,788 --> 00:05:32,832
Give me a break.
It was a joke.
119
00:05:32,832 --> 00:05:36,044
There's nothing
funny about
cheating, Matt.
120
00:05:36,044 --> 00:05:37,086
Principal Green...
121
00:05:37,086 --> 00:05:40,298
Members of the
disciplinary committee...
122
00:05:40,298 --> 00:05:41,883
I--I admit it.
123
00:05:41,883 --> 00:05:44,177
I--I didn't know
the answer on the quiz,
124
00:05:44,177 --> 00:05:46,680
so--so I did what
any self-respecting kid
would do
125
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,640
in the cellular age,
you know?
126
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,975
I whipped out my StarTAC,
I dialed home,
127
00:05:50,975 --> 00:05:52,352
and--and I asked my mom,
128
00:05:52,352 --> 00:05:54,604
"How many justices sit
on the supreme court?"
129
00:05:54,604 --> 00:05:56,856
You know, call me crazy,
you know--
130
00:05:56,856 --> 00:05:58,400
even Mr. Higgins laughed.
131
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,902
McPHEE: Ok, and you claim
132
00:06:00,902 --> 00:06:02,737
that your mother didn't
know the answer either?
133
00:06:02,737 --> 00:06:04,072
Uh-huh.
134
00:06:04,072 --> 00:06:07,200
Ok. So...
135
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,078
How do you explain
your perfect score
on the quiz?
136
00:06:10,078 --> 00:06:11,745
I guessed.
137
00:06:14,165 --> 00:06:16,543
Ok. Um, well,
138
00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:19,003
then I guess
my recommendation
would be
139
00:06:19,003 --> 00:06:23,341
that you get a failing grade
on the work in question
140
00:06:23,341 --> 00:06:25,218
and a 3-hour detention.
141
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:27,554
Why don't you just
bust my kneecaps
while you're at it?
142
00:06:27,554 --> 00:06:29,681
That'll be enough,
Mr. Caufield.
143
00:06:29,681 --> 00:06:32,350
While your behavior
clearly violates
144
00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:33,976
the letter of
the honor code,
145
00:06:33,976 --> 00:06:36,646
I do not believe
it is in violation
of the spirit.
146
00:06:38,106 --> 00:06:39,815
Am I free
to go then?
147
00:06:39,815 --> 00:06:40,983
Yes, you're free to go.
148
00:06:42,193 --> 00:06:44,696
Mr. Caufield.
149
00:06:44,696 --> 00:06:46,322
Let's let this
be the last time
150
00:06:46,322 --> 00:06:47,990
we see you
before this committee.
151
00:07:01,921 --> 00:07:03,465
Uh, Andie...
152
00:07:03,465 --> 00:07:05,049
Would you wait
for me for a minute,
please?
153
00:07:05,049 --> 00:07:06,800
Sure.
154
00:07:12,140 --> 00:07:13,099
Um, Principal Green,
155
00:07:13,099 --> 00:07:14,517
I'm really sorry
about earlier.
156
00:07:14,517 --> 00:07:15,685
I overreacted
to the--
157
00:07:15,685 --> 00:07:18,104
No, that's not
what this is about.
158
00:07:18,104 --> 00:07:19,773
Andie, I have news.
159
00:07:19,773 --> 00:07:21,399
News?
160
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:22,692
I was contacted
this morning
161
00:07:22,692 --> 00:07:25,779
by the educational
testing service.
162
00:07:25,779 --> 00:07:27,029
Andie...
163
00:07:27,029 --> 00:07:29,282
Your phenomenal
PSAT results
164
00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:33,077
have placed you among
the top 50,000 scorers
in the country.
165
00:07:33,077 --> 00:07:35,538
You, young lady,
have taken one giant step
166
00:07:35,538 --> 00:07:37,666
toward a national
merit scholarship.
167
00:07:37,666 --> 00:07:39,833
Isn't that fantastic?
168
00:07:41,419 --> 00:07:43,379
Fantastic.
169
00:07:43,379 --> 00:07:45,757
Andie, what's wrong?
170
00:07:45,757 --> 00:07:46,841
You seem stunned.
171
00:07:48,134 --> 00:07:49,344
No. No, no.
172
00:07:49,344 --> 00:07:52,555
It's just, um...
173
00:07:52,555 --> 00:07:54,432
Well, it's just--
yeah...
174
00:07:54,432 --> 00:07:56,559
I'm a little
stunned.
175
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:01,981
Congratulations.
176
00:08:15,704 --> 00:08:16,746
No. No.
177
00:08:16,746 --> 00:08:17,706
No! Look!
178
00:08:17,706 --> 00:08:19,040
Pacey, last time
you were here,
179
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,543
you left water
rings on my deco
coffee table.
180
00:08:21,543 --> 00:08:24,253
Dougie, Mom and Dad
just wanted me to bring
you something, that's all.
181
00:08:24,253 --> 00:08:25,630
Yeah? What?
182
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,591
Me!
183
00:08:28,591 --> 00:08:30,134
Look, what
are you doing?
184
00:08:30,134 --> 00:08:32,220
I'm moving in, bro.
185
00:08:32,220 --> 00:08:33,429
Wh--excuse me?
186
00:08:33,429 --> 00:08:34,639
You heard me.
I'm moving in.
187
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:36,516
Oh, look, Dad gave me
a check to give to you,
188
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:37,642
it's, uh, like
a security deposit
189
00:08:37,642 --> 00:08:39,561
in case I break
your stereo.
190
00:08:39,561 --> 00:08:42,230
You're not breaking
my stereo, because you're
not touching my stereo,
191
00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:44,607
'cause you're not
moving in with me.
Not now, not ever.
192
00:08:44,607 --> 00:08:46,192
This is not Party of Five.
193
00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:47,318
Come on, Dougie,
please.
194
00:08:47,318 --> 00:08:48,778
You can't
make me go back
to that house.
195
00:08:48,778 --> 00:08:49,863
I mean,
think about it.
196
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:51,531
You got this whole
stylin' bachelor pad
197
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:53,783
all to yourself
with the...
Nice lighting
198
00:08:53,783 --> 00:08:55,493
and the fancy
window dressings
199
00:08:55,493 --> 00:08:57,119
and all
the other trappings
200
00:08:57,119 --> 00:08:59,497
of the modern
extremely closeted
homosexual male,
201
00:08:59,497 --> 00:09:02,124
and I don't
even have a room
to myself anymore.
202
00:09:02,124 --> 00:09:03,752
Since when?
203
00:09:03,752 --> 00:09:05,253
Well, since Carrie
decided to take
204
00:09:05,253 --> 00:09:07,004
an extended leave of
absence from Jerry.
205
00:09:07,004 --> 00:09:08,506
You remember Jerry,
don't you?
206
00:09:08,506 --> 00:09:09,674
Our favorite
brother-in-law,
207
00:09:09,674 --> 00:09:11,175
the one with
all the tattoos?
208
00:09:11,175 --> 00:09:13,135
And of course
she brought along
the no-neck monsters
209
00:09:13,135 --> 00:09:15,304
who are currently
residing in my room.
210
00:09:15,304 --> 00:09:16,681
So what do you say,
man?
211
00:09:16,681 --> 00:09:18,892
Can I stay here,
please?
212
00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:22,520
Ok, look,
213
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,979
if I agree to this--
214
00:09:23,979 --> 00:09:25,774
and it is a very big "if"--
215
00:09:25,774 --> 00:09:27,400
there will be rules.
216
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,360
I am your willing pupil.
217
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,280
Rule number one:
We don't eat anything
that Mom sends over.
218
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,908
The woman thinks
that iceberg lettuce
is haute cuisine.
219
00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:35,867
Agreed.
220
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:37,827
Rule number 2:
The coaster.
221
00:09:37,827 --> 00:09:40,413
Live it, love it,
use it at all times.
222
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:41,623
Done.
223
00:09:41,623 --> 00:09:43,082
You will keep
the CD collection
224
00:09:43,082 --> 00:09:45,752
in alphabetical order
by last name, not first.
225
00:09:45,752 --> 00:09:47,336
Do you understand?
226
00:09:47,336 --> 00:09:49,964
Oh, yeah, perfectly.
But I don't foresee
the need for me
227
00:09:49,964 --> 00:09:52,341
to dip into
your diva collection
anytime too soon.
228
00:09:52,341 --> 00:09:54,260
Oh, I think
you would be surprised
229
00:09:54,260 --> 00:09:56,805
at how a tortured,
impassioned female voice
230
00:09:56,805 --> 00:09:59,014
can soothe
an achy-breaky heart.
231
00:09:59,014 --> 00:10:00,683
My heart is just fine,
thank you very much.
232
00:10:00,683 --> 00:10:02,769
Oh, sure it is,
little brother.
Sure it is.
233
00:10:02,769 --> 00:10:04,228
Look, Dougie,
if you're referring
234
00:10:04,228 --> 00:10:06,397
to our brief
jailhouse conversation
the other night,
235
00:10:06,397 --> 00:10:08,065
you can just chalk it up
to drunken rambling.
236
00:10:08,065 --> 00:10:10,443
Well, there won't be any
of that on my watch.
237
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:12,069
And I won't have
any moping around
238
00:10:12,069 --> 00:10:14,238
like a lovesick puppy
either.
239
00:10:14,238 --> 00:10:15,531
By the way,
240
00:10:15,531 --> 00:10:17,032
are you any good
at decoupage?
241
00:10:17,032 --> 00:10:19,994
Oh, god help me...
242
00:10:33,424 --> 00:10:35,426
You're not planning
on taking pictures?
243
00:10:35,426 --> 00:10:37,345
Uh, don't try
and stop her, Joey.
244
00:10:37,345 --> 00:10:39,681
When a little sister
accomplishes something
impressive,
245
00:10:39,681 --> 00:10:41,265
it's very important
for a big sister
246
00:10:41,265 --> 00:10:43,518
to create a huge,
embarrassing fuss
over her.
247
00:10:43,518 --> 00:10:45,561
Yeah, and the more
embarrassing,
the better.
248
00:10:45,561 --> 00:10:47,522
Thank you.
I know it's not gonna
be too fun for you
249
00:10:47,522 --> 00:10:49,231
to walk the halls
of Capeside again,
250
00:10:49,231 --> 00:10:51,359
seeing as it wasn't
exactly your favorite
place on earth.
251
00:10:51,359 --> 00:10:52,735
Yeah, but I'm old,
remember?
252
00:10:52,735 --> 00:10:53,987
And that was
a long time ago,
253
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:55,446
and things
are different now.
254
00:10:55,446 --> 00:10:57,406
They're not that different.
What, are there, like,
255
00:10:57,406 --> 00:10:59,116
10 black kids
in that school?
256
00:10:59,116 --> 00:11:00,827
11.
257
00:11:00,827 --> 00:11:02,662
And don't try to rewrite
history, Bess. I mean...
258
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:05,039
I remember the days
you used to pick me up
from kindergarten
259
00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:07,249
and complain the whole way
home about some...
260
00:11:07,249 --> 00:11:09,377
Smug, 2-faced idiots
who thought they were
better than you
261
00:11:09,377 --> 00:11:11,504
simply because you had
the wrong kind of jeans.
262
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:13,046
Ok, I admit it.
263
00:11:13,046 --> 00:11:14,883
I hated high school,
but that's why
I'm so glad
264
00:11:14,883 --> 00:11:16,592
it's not like that
for you, Joey.
265
00:11:16,592 --> 00:11:17,802
You're talented,
266
00:11:17,802 --> 00:11:19,261
and everybody
at that school
knows it,
267
00:11:19,261 --> 00:11:21,096
they've known it
for years,
268
00:11:21,096 --> 00:11:23,056
and today
they're going to see
proof positive
269
00:11:23,056 --> 00:11:24,017
that Joey Potter
270
00:11:24,017 --> 00:11:26,268
is a force
to be reckoned with.
271
00:11:34,777 --> 00:11:36,404
...and I painted this
272
00:11:36,404 --> 00:11:39,073
so that we all can remember
the beacon of knowledge
273
00:11:39,073 --> 00:11:42,243
that our teachers
shine on us every day.
274
00:11:42,243 --> 00:11:46,079
In closing, I would like
to thank Principal Green
275
00:11:46,079 --> 00:11:50,292
and all of you for this
opportunity to impart
my message of unity.
276
00:11:50,292 --> 00:11:54,087
And now, the last of
our Capeside High murals.
277
00:11:54,087 --> 00:11:56,298
I'd like to ask
Joey Potter to step up
278
00:11:56,298 --> 00:12:00,135
and grace us with a few words
about her creation.
279
00:12:05,349 --> 00:12:08,061
Well, uh, Principal Green
said the mural should focus
280
00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:11,230
on what unifies us
as a school, and...
281
00:12:11,230 --> 00:12:13,900
You think about it,
nothing really unifies us.
282
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:17,779
Even our mascot
is divisive--
The Minuteman?
283
00:12:17,779 --> 00:12:20,531
Right there,
you've alienated half
the student population.
284
00:12:22,784 --> 00:12:25,327
So...the only thing
that I could think of
285
00:12:25,327 --> 00:12:29,457
that unites us all--
that we all have in common--
286
00:12:29,457 --> 00:12:32,961
is that we all start off
in kindergarten thinking
287
00:12:32,961 --> 00:12:35,546
that we can be anything
that we wanna be,
288
00:12:35,546 --> 00:12:39,759
and by the time we get here,
we've somehow lost that feeling.
289
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:44,597
We've all started to believe
whatever our parents or
our friends have told us
290
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:47,308
about what we can achieve
and who we can be in life,
291
00:12:47,308 --> 00:12:51,270
and we've forgotten about
that possibility we had
when we were younger.
292
00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:54,941
And that's what I think
we all have in common,
293
00:12:54,941 --> 00:12:57,986
and that's what the symbol
on my painting means--
294
00:12:57,986 --> 00:13:02,115
possibility.
I painted it because
I thought we could all use
295
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:05,534
a daily reminder
that if you believe
in yourself,
296
00:13:05,534 --> 00:13:10,163
even when the odds
seem stacked against you,
anything's possible.
297
00:13:13,626 --> 00:13:16,087
So, I hope you like it.
298
00:13:33,729 --> 00:13:35,188
Excuse me.
299
00:13:50,913 --> 00:13:51,914
Joey.
300
00:13:51,914 --> 00:13:54,792
Hey, wait up.
You ok?
301
00:13:54,792 --> 00:13:57,045
That's what I get
for answering the call
to public service--
302
00:13:57,045 --> 00:13:58,880
public humiliation.
303
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,174
Nobody's humiliated except for
maybe the person who did this.
304
00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:02,717
It felt humiliating,
Dawson, to me.
305
00:14:02,717 --> 00:14:03,843
Look, it was
a silly prank.
306
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:05,178
You don't know that.
307
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:06,804
You put your heart
and soul into that,
308
00:14:06,804 --> 00:14:09,306
and I don't blame
you for being angry,
but don't turn this
309
00:14:09,306 --> 00:14:11,559
into some sort of
personal attack
on you.
310
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,729
Not to stick my nose
in here, but just
to stick my nose in,
311
00:14:14,729 --> 00:14:17,065
of course it was
a personal attack.
What?
312
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:19,067
There were only 3 murals
in that hallway.
313
00:14:19,067 --> 00:14:21,694
Yours was the only one
that got touched.
So?
314
00:14:21,694 --> 00:14:24,072
So either someone
didn't like what Joey
was trying to say,
315
00:14:24,072 --> 00:14:25,656
or someone just
didn't like you.
316
00:14:25,656 --> 00:14:28,117
Your logic leaves
a lot to be desired.
317
00:14:28,117 --> 00:14:29,493
Dawson, we're in
high school here.
318
00:14:29,493 --> 00:14:31,162
It's a veritable society
unto its own
319
00:14:31,162 --> 00:14:33,581
with a pecking order that
makes the caste system
look forgiving.
320
00:14:33,581 --> 00:14:35,541
Who knows what subtle line
you may have crossed
321
00:14:35,541 --> 00:14:37,585
or what offense you might
have given without
knowing it?
322
00:14:37,585 --> 00:14:38,711
Paranoid much?
323
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:40,421
You don't think
there's a possibility
324
00:14:40,421 --> 00:14:42,757
there's somebody out
there who hates Joey
just for being Joey?
325
00:14:42,757 --> 00:14:44,592
Who hates the way she talks,
the way she dresses,
326
00:14:44,592 --> 00:14:46,010
the way she chews
on her lower lip.
327
00:14:46,010 --> 00:14:48,221
I don't chew
on my lower lip!
328
00:14:48,221 --> 00:14:49,764
I'm just putting
it out there.
329
00:14:49,764 --> 00:14:51,682
Think about it.
Does anybody come to mind?
330
00:14:51,682 --> 00:14:54,351
Why, so we can all
gang up on him and
call him dirty names?
331
00:14:54,351 --> 00:14:56,145
Do me a favor,
just stay out of this.
332
00:14:56,145 --> 00:14:58,439
It was an act
of vandalism,
pure and simple.
333
00:14:58,439 --> 00:15:00,233
Some idiot trying
to rage against
the machine.
334
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:01,817
That doesn't make any sense.
Perfect!
335
00:15:01,817 --> 00:15:04,737
Heckle and Jeckle.
This is exactly
what a girl needs
336
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:07,198
in the middle of
an existential crisis,
and it's not helping.
337
00:15:07,198 --> 00:15:09,282
So thanks,
but no, thanks.
338
00:15:12,161 --> 00:15:14,496
Shouldn't we, uh--
No. Let her go.
339
00:15:17,583 --> 00:15:20,294
So, uh, have you heard
any word on Joey?
340
00:15:20,294 --> 00:15:22,630
She's pretty
broken up about it.
341
00:15:22,630 --> 00:15:24,632
Yeah, obviously.
Who wouldn't be?
342
00:15:24,632 --> 00:15:27,468
They'll catch the guy,
and you can have
the last laugh.
343
00:15:27,468 --> 00:15:29,053
Huh?
344
00:15:29,053 --> 00:15:31,013
D.C. throw
the book at him.
345
00:15:31,013 --> 00:15:32,848
Right, heh.
You know what?
346
00:15:32,848 --> 00:15:35,893
Actually, Jack,
I'm thinking about
quitting my position.
347
00:15:35,893 --> 00:15:37,770
On the disciplinary
committee?
348
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:41,440
Andie, you're, like,
the senior-most student
representative.
349
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,525
That's one step below
the savior for mankind
350
00:15:43,525 --> 00:15:45,820
as far as
college admissions
are concerned.
351
00:15:45,820 --> 00:15:48,405
I know, but it's just
taking up way too much time.
352
00:15:48,405 --> 00:15:50,741
Besides, my school work's
starting to slip,
353
00:15:50,741 --> 00:15:53,911
and the more I think about it,
the more uncomfortable I feel
354
00:15:53,911 --> 00:15:56,538
about sitting in judgment
of others.
355
00:15:58,373 --> 00:16:00,042
What?
356
00:16:00,042 --> 00:16:03,254
I'm just
a little shocked.
357
00:16:03,254 --> 00:16:04,922
Why?
358
00:16:04,922 --> 00:16:08,383
It's not like you
to bail on
a commitment.
359
00:16:08,383 --> 00:16:11,637
Come on, Jack.
A lot of things
aren't like me,
360
00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:13,681
but I've done
them anyway.
361
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:17,977
Can you set the table?
362
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:19,394
Yeah.
363
00:16:41,083 --> 00:16:42,584
Any room at the inn?
364
00:16:42,584 --> 00:16:43,961
Depends.
365
00:16:43,961 --> 00:16:45,046
On what?
366
00:16:45,046 --> 00:16:46,379
The length
of the lecture
367
00:16:46,379 --> 00:16:47,923
I'm gonna be forced
to sit through.
368
00:16:47,923 --> 00:16:49,925
No lectures, I promise.
369
00:16:49,925 --> 00:16:51,552
Although I do wanna say
370
00:16:51,552 --> 00:16:56,765
that I'm sorry that what
happened today happened.
371
00:16:56,765 --> 00:16:59,935
Well, the whole thing
was tragically lame
to begin with.
372
00:16:59,935 --> 00:17:02,563
As if painting
on a wall is going
to make any change
373
00:17:02,563 --> 00:17:05,107
or the slightest bit
of difference in school.
374
00:17:05,107 --> 00:17:06,775
Maybe. Maybe not.
375
00:17:08,777 --> 00:17:11,780
For some reason,
I don't like the sound
of those maybes.
376
00:17:11,780 --> 00:17:13,532
Repaint the mural.
377
00:17:14,950 --> 00:17:15,910
What?
378
00:17:15,910 --> 00:17:17,619
Do it tonight.
379
00:17:17,619 --> 00:17:19,955
Surprise that bastard
when he shows up
tomorrow morning.
380
00:17:19,955 --> 00:17:22,124
I would rather shove
red-hot needles
381
00:17:22,124 --> 00:17:23,709
underneath
my toenails, ok?
382
00:17:23,709 --> 00:17:25,961
Come on. You're
gonna let some stupid
high school prank
383
00:17:25,961 --> 00:17:28,839
keep you from finishing
something that you
obviously care about?
384
00:17:28,839 --> 00:17:30,632
I finished it,
Dawson, ok?
385
00:17:30,632 --> 00:17:34,387
It's not my fault
that not everybody got
a chance to see it.
386
00:17:34,387 --> 00:17:36,389
I can't believe
you're being like this.
Like what?
387
00:17:36,389 --> 00:17:39,392
Defeated. Dejected.
Demoralized.
388
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:41,018
News flash, Dawson:
I can't always be
389
00:17:41,018 --> 00:17:42,395
your plucky
little Joey Potter.
390
00:17:42,395 --> 00:17:43,896
I don't have this
unlimited reserve
391
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:45,522
of goodwill and
good faith in humanity,
392
00:17:45,522 --> 00:17:47,983
and sometimes,
I am going to be
a little depressed.
393
00:17:47,983 --> 00:17:51,195
It's not about demeanor.
It's about not being a victim.
394
00:17:51,195 --> 00:17:53,572
It took me a month
to do that, Dawson.
395
00:17:53,572 --> 00:17:55,532
I had to conceive it,
and I had to execute it,
396
00:17:55,532 --> 00:17:57,659
and you can't just
expect me to start over.
397
00:17:57,659 --> 00:17:59,328
Why not?
398
00:17:59,328 --> 00:18:02,873
For the same reason
you haven't shot a roll
of film since January.
399
00:18:02,873 --> 00:18:04,875
Joey, that's
completely different.
400
00:18:04,875 --> 00:18:06,835
Really?
Yes.
401
00:18:06,835 --> 00:18:09,630
I chose to quit filmmaking.
That was a personal decision.
402
00:18:09,630 --> 00:18:11,424
It had nothing to do
with the fact
403
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,801
that it
was poorly received
at the festival?
404
00:18:13,801 --> 00:18:15,010
Truthfully? No.
405
00:18:17,554 --> 00:18:21,683
Well...then how
convenient for you.
406
00:18:21,683 --> 00:18:23,269
What does that mean?
407
00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:27,189
You have all of
these choices, Dawson.
408
00:18:27,189 --> 00:18:30,609
You have all of these
choices that you just
take for granted.
409
00:18:30,609 --> 00:18:34,405
I mean...God...
One day, you're
a filmmaker,
410
00:18:34,405 --> 00:18:36,907
and the next day,
you're not,
and tomorrow,
411
00:18:36,907 --> 00:18:39,618
you could wake up
and decide you wanted
to be a sculptor,
412
00:18:39,618 --> 00:18:42,204
or you wanted to just
backpack through Europe,
413
00:18:42,204 --> 00:18:45,207
or--or--or climb
mt. Everest,
and you can do that.
414
00:18:45,207 --> 00:18:46,500
And you can't?
No, I can't.
415
00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:47,460
Why not?
416
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:49,378
I can't afford
to waste the time
417
00:18:49,378 --> 00:18:51,464
to go find myself
and be artistic,
418
00:18:51,464 --> 00:18:53,548
and I can't afford
to just reject reality
419
00:18:53,548 --> 00:18:55,343
and go off and chase
my pipe dreams.
420
00:18:55,343 --> 00:18:57,470
I can't do it because
that's not my life.
That's your life.
421
00:18:57,470 --> 00:18:59,472
You know what I think
this is about?
422
00:18:59,472 --> 00:19:00,764
What?
423
00:19:00,764 --> 00:19:02,808
I think you're relieved.
424
00:19:02,808 --> 00:19:08,230
I think you're relieved
somebody painted over
that mural...
425
00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:10,399
'Cause you never
had to go through
the hard part--
426
00:19:10,399 --> 00:19:13,610
never had to show it
to the world,
427
00:19:13,610 --> 00:19:16,113
never had to hear
what anyone else
thought about it.
428
00:19:16,113 --> 00:19:17,990
You never had to decide
for yourself
429
00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:20,326
how good or talented
you really are.
430
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:27,541
Wonder why I
came over tonight?
431
00:19:30,294 --> 00:19:32,380
These are the keys
to the school.
432
00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:35,090
Principal Green
gave 'em to me.
433
00:19:38,593 --> 00:19:40,054
Do what you want.
434
00:19:58,531 --> 00:20:00,615
Oh, if it's brown,
it must be Tuesday.
435
00:20:00,615 --> 00:20:02,868
What do you call
these things
again, Witter?
436
00:20:02,868 --> 00:20:04,245
Elephant scabs.
437
00:20:04,245 --> 00:20:06,205
Packed with
whole grain goodness.
438
00:20:06,205 --> 00:20:08,999
Did you guys
see the look on
Principal Green's face?
439
00:20:08,999 --> 00:20:10,834
Huh?
At the unity mural thing.
440
00:20:10,834 --> 00:20:12,794
I thought the guy
was gonna have
a breakdown.
441
00:20:12,794 --> 00:20:15,923
And that girl Joey,
she totally lost it.
Classic.
442
00:20:15,923 --> 00:20:17,550
Yeah. Look, uh...
443
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:19,634
I'm running myself
a little pool here--
444
00:20:19,634 --> 00:20:23,264
Guess the true culprit.
Winner takes all.
You guys in?
445
00:20:23,264 --> 00:20:24,306
How much?
446
00:20:24,306 --> 00:20:26,641
It's only a buck a pop.
447
00:20:26,641 --> 00:20:28,436
Had to be Caufield.
448
00:20:28,436 --> 00:20:29,853
Yeah,
definitely.
449
00:20:29,853 --> 00:20:31,646
What makes you guys
so sure?
450
00:20:31,646 --> 00:20:34,608
'Cause there's
no other possibility.
Ha ha ha!
451
00:20:34,608 --> 00:20:36,651
Ok.
Caufield it is.
452
00:20:53,294 --> 00:20:55,921
Hey, Caufield.
453
00:20:55,921 --> 00:20:57,298
Do I know you?
454
00:20:57,298 --> 00:20:59,967
No, not really,
thankfully for me.
455
00:20:59,967 --> 00:21:03,554
Look, rumor has it
that you have this
irrepressible urge
456
00:21:03,554 --> 00:21:05,639
to express yourself
artistically.
457
00:21:05,639 --> 00:21:07,891
What, that thing
yesterday at the mural?
458
00:21:07,891 --> 00:21:09,810
That was
pretty classic, huh?
459
00:21:09,810 --> 00:21:12,854
Too bad I can't
take credit for it.
460
00:21:12,854 --> 00:21:14,440
So you didn't do it?
461
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,400
I don't know.
462
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,651
I mean,
everyone seems
to think I did,
463
00:21:18,651 --> 00:21:20,654
so maybe I should just
do the polite thing
464
00:21:20,654 --> 00:21:22,448
and accept the credit
and say thank you.
465
00:21:22,448 --> 00:21:26,619
Maybe. But, look,
I'm here to tell you
466
00:21:26,619 --> 00:21:29,622
that not everybody
thinks what you did
was funny.
467
00:21:29,622 --> 00:21:33,459
Well,
some people don't have
a sense of humor.
468
00:21:33,459 --> 00:21:35,294
Is that your problem?
469
00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:39,465
Yeah, that's me.
I'm humorless.
470
00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:43,677
Hmm. What do you want?
471
00:21:44,928 --> 00:21:46,679
I want you
to apologize,
472
00:21:46,679 --> 00:21:49,057
and then I want you
to turn yourself in,
473
00:21:49,057 --> 00:21:51,560
and I want you to do it
before the day is done.
474
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,103
And why would
I do that?
475
00:21:53,103 --> 00:21:56,231
Because this time, you
just happened to mess with
476
00:21:56,231 --> 00:21:57,650
somebody I care about.
477
00:22:21,298 --> 00:22:22,883
Hey, have you
seen Joey?
478
00:22:22,883 --> 00:22:24,926
No. She wasn't
in home room.
479
00:22:47,741 --> 00:22:49,493
That's a nice rig.
480
00:22:49,493 --> 00:22:51,328
It's a Christmas present.
481
00:22:51,328 --> 00:22:53,914
Eh, that sucks, huh?
482
00:22:53,914 --> 00:22:55,541
What's that?
483
00:22:55,541 --> 00:22:59,127
Your parents shorted you
on the off-road package.
484
00:23:01,547 --> 00:23:03,048
Get your hands off me.
485
00:23:03,048 --> 00:23:05,718
Oh, come on, tough guy.
486
00:23:05,718 --> 00:23:06,843
What the hell
do you want?
487
00:23:06,843 --> 00:23:09,762
You know
exactly what I want.
488
00:23:11,764 --> 00:23:14,268
So, what's next, Witter?
489
00:23:14,268 --> 00:23:16,769
You gonna sic your
civil servant Dad on me?
490
00:23:16,769 --> 00:23:18,313
Can't you see...
491
00:23:18,313 --> 00:23:20,524
I'm barely
shaking in my boots?
492
00:23:20,524 --> 00:23:22,568
Well,
you know my name.
493
00:23:22,568 --> 00:23:23,736
That's a good
starting place.
494
00:23:23,736 --> 00:23:25,529
What I know is
I'm gonna count to 3,
495
00:23:25,529 --> 00:23:27,531
and you're
gonna step aside.
496
00:23:27,531 --> 00:23:29,908
Dream another dream,
cowboy.
497
00:23:29,908 --> 00:23:31,784
That's not how this
is gonna shake out.
498
00:23:31,784 --> 00:23:36,206
1, 2, 3.
499
00:23:37,625 --> 00:23:39,710
Are you whacked or something?
500
00:23:39,710 --> 00:23:41,920
Oh, no. Not yet.
Not by a long shot.
501
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,589
What? You want me
to say I did it?
502
00:23:43,589 --> 00:23:45,882
Ok. I did it.
Huh, there. Satisfied?
503
00:23:45,882 --> 00:23:48,385
Ok. Good.
Now, what are you
gonna do about it, huh?
504
00:23:48,385 --> 00:23:51,012
I said, what are you
gonna do about it!
505
00:23:54,558 --> 00:23:58,353
I'm gonna go
and apologize.
506
00:23:58,353 --> 00:24:01,231
Ok?
507
00:24:20,083 --> 00:24:21,460
Aah.
508
00:24:23,044 --> 00:24:24,421
Ugh!
509
00:24:35,056 --> 00:24:36,057
Hey!
510
00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:39,770
On your feet!
Both of you!
511
00:24:43,273 --> 00:24:45,984
Inside! Now!
512
00:24:53,408 --> 00:24:55,661
Get me Dawson Leery
and David Curren, please.
513
00:24:55,661 --> 00:24:57,830
Uh, Principal Green,
can I talk to you
for a minute?
514
00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:59,581
Not now, Andie. I'm in
the middle of something.
515
00:24:59,581 --> 00:25:00,708
Please. It'll
only take a second,
516
00:25:00,708 --> 00:25:02,250
and it's
really important.
517
00:25:02,250 --> 00:25:03,669
What is it?
518
00:25:03,669 --> 00:25:05,713
I'd like to
tender my resignation
519
00:25:05,713 --> 00:25:07,631
from the
disciplinary committee.
520
00:25:07,631 --> 00:25:09,591
What?
521
00:25:09,591 --> 00:25:11,926
I think that you
have this idea about me
522
00:25:11,926 --> 00:25:13,554
that--that I'm somebody
I'm not,
523
00:25:13,554 --> 00:25:16,056
that I'm--I'm somebody
with unwavering integrity,
524
00:25:16,056 --> 00:25:17,307
and I can't live up to that.
525
00:25:17,307 --> 00:25:19,184
Can we discuss this
later at length?
526
00:25:19,184 --> 00:25:22,937
I don't know that there's
anything more to discuss,
Principal Green.
527
00:25:22,937 --> 00:25:24,897
Thank you.
528
00:25:33,156 --> 00:25:36,284
Now, since
neither Mr. Witter
nor Mr. Caufield
529
00:25:36,284 --> 00:25:38,495
choose to clarify
the meaning of their
little title fight
530
00:25:38,495 --> 00:25:39,663
in the parking lot,
531
00:25:39,663 --> 00:25:41,081
I'm counting
on their friends
532
00:25:41,081 --> 00:25:44,042
to look out for
their best interest.
Mr. Leery?
533
00:25:44,042 --> 00:25:45,669
Don't say anything, Dawson.
534
00:25:45,669 --> 00:25:47,421
Mr. Curren?
535
00:25:47,421 --> 00:25:49,214
Not a word, Dave.
536
00:25:49,214 --> 00:25:51,049
Well, somebody
better speak up,
537
00:25:51,049 --> 00:25:53,134
and you better
speak up fast...
538
00:25:53,134 --> 00:25:55,637
Because a timely call to
the Dean over at Dartmouth
539
00:25:55,637 --> 00:25:59,140
will trigger
an immediate review on
your early admission status.
540
00:25:59,140 --> 00:26:01,685
And Mr. Witter,
one more suspension
on your record,
541
00:26:01,685 --> 00:26:05,230
and you can bend down
and kiss this whole higher
education deal good-bye.
542
00:26:10,778 --> 00:26:13,739
Ok. I have
no other alternative.
543
00:26:13,739 --> 00:26:15,073
It's because of the mural.
544
00:26:15,073 --> 00:26:17,534
Hey, shut up, Dawson.
This is not your fight!
545
00:26:17,534 --> 00:26:19,369
It's not yours either.
546
00:26:19,369 --> 00:26:21,996
So what you're saying
is that the reason that
Mr. Witter picked a fight
547
00:26:21,996 --> 00:26:23,540
was because he believes
that Mr. Caufield
548
00:26:23,540 --> 00:26:26,126
had something to do
with the vandalization
of the unity mural.
549
00:26:26,126 --> 00:26:28,754
I went
nowhere near that thing.
550
00:26:28,754 --> 00:26:31,924
As if I could give
a rat's ass about some
stupid Chinese drawing.
551
00:26:31,924 --> 00:26:34,008
If you didn't
go anywhere near it,
552
00:26:34,008 --> 00:26:35,968
how did you know
what it was?
553
00:26:37,721 --> 00:26:41,015
That's a very good question.
554
00:26:42,434 --> 00:26:44,018
Anyone could've
taken a look.
555
00:26:44,018 --> 00:26:45,813
She's been
working on it for weeks.
556
00:26:45,813 --> 00:26:47,898
Yeah.
At night and before school,
but other than that,
557
00:26:47,898 --> 00:26:49,483
it's been sealed up
tight as a drum.
558
00:26:49,483 --> 00:26:51,860
I'm one of her closest
friends. I didn't even
know what it was.
559
00:26:51,860 --> 00:26:53,612
You know,
this is ridiculous.
560
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:56,448
Not to mention,
if you didn't, as you say,
"give a rat's ass,"
561
00:26:56,448 --> 00:27:00,160
then why would you
go through all the trouble
of finding out what it was?
562
00:27:02,078 --> 00:27:04,038
Check the floor, Caufield.
563
00:27:04,038 --> 00:27:07,501
I think you
just painted yourself
into a corner.
564
00:27:09,461 --> 00:27:11,839
Ok. You got me.
565
00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:13,924
Busted.
566
00:27:13,924 --> 00:27:16,134
Yeah. I Jackson pollocked
some meaningless mural.
567
00:27:16,134 --> 00:27:18,219
You know what?
For one thing, it was ugly.
568
00:27:18,219 --> 00:27:20,012
You know?
It was an eye-sore.
569
00:27:20,012 --> 00:27:23,099
And not to mention,
why do I have to look
at some trivial girl's
570
00:27:23,099 --> 00:27:25,853
little message to
the masses every morning?
571
00:27:25,853 --> 00:27:27,855
Frankly, it offends me.
572
00:27:27,855 --> 00:27:31,358
Possibility
is offensive to you?
573
00:27:32,818 --> 00:27:34,778
I'm white. I'm rich.
574
00:27:34,778 --> 00:27:37,405
That's all
the possibility I need.
575
00:27:45,372 --> 00:27:47,039
Say again?
576
00:27:49,459 --> 00:27:51,419
You heard me.
577
00:27:51,419 --> 00:27:54,046
The advance copy
of the P.S.A.T.
578
00:27:54,046 --> 00:27:55,632
That Dawson had,
579
00:27:55,632 --> 00:27:57,384
I'm the one
who stole it.
580
00:27:57,384 --> 00:28:00,178
That's how
I did so well
on the test, Jack.
581
00:28:00,178 --> 00:28:02,848
That's how I scored
in the 99th percentile.
582
00:28:02,848 --> 00:28:05,392
That was you?
583
00:28:05,392 --> 00:28:07,853
Oh, Andie.
584
00:28:07,853 --> 00:28:11,063
I know.
Surprise. Surprise.
585
00:28:11,063 --> 00:28:13,650
Well, why? I mean,
you knew that stuff cold,
586
00:28:13,650 --> 00:28:15,402
inside and out,
backwards and forwards.
587
00:28:15,402 --> 00:28:17,738
If anybody was
gonna ace that test,
it was gonna be you.
588
00:28:19,865 --> 00:28:22,074
It was just sitting
there on the table
589
00:28:22,074 --> 00:28:23,952
like--like this piece
of forbidden fruit,
590
00:28:23,952 --> 00:28:26,747
and not a chance
of getting caught.
591
00:28:26,747 --> 00:28:28,874
I don't know. It just
seemed like the answer
592
00:28:28,874 --> 00:28:30,667
to all my problems
at the time.
593
00:28:30,667 --> 00:28:32,711
What do you mean?
594
00:28:34,379 --> 00:28:36,381
I thought that...
595
00:28:36,381 --> 00:28:39,259
You know,
if I aced the test,
then...
596
00:28:39,259 --> 00:28:41,845
Everybody would think
I was ok again.
597
00:28:41,845 --> 00:28:45,057
You know,
that that would
somehow convince them.
598
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:48,142
But now that
I really am ok,
599
00:28:48,142 --> 00:28:51,479
I'm having a hard time
living with myself.
600
00:28:51,479 --> 00:28:54,524
Hence your resignation from
the disciplinary committee.
601
00:28:56,777 --> 00:28:59,487
Jack,
for the past 6 months,
602
00:28:59,487 --> 00:29:01,073
I have been
walking around,
603
00:29:01,073 --> 00:29:03,658
feeling like
the biggest hypocrite.
604
00:29:03,658 --> 00:29:06,494
I mean, don't you see?
I've been so hard on
all these other people
605
00:29:06,494 --> 00:29:08,663
just as a way
of punishing myself.
606
00:29:10,999 --> 00:29:14,127
But now it's time
to make amends for that.
607
00:29:15,879 --> 00:29:18,590
Wait a minute.
What--what are you
planning on doing?
608
00:29:20,258 --> 00:29:21,927
I'm gonna tell
Principal Green
tomorrow.
609
00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:23,887
No. You're not.
610
00:29:23,887 --> 00:29:25,221
Yeah, I am.
611
00:29:25,221 --> 00:29:28,016
No. No. Andie, look,
think about this, ok?
612
00:29:28,016 --> 00:29:31,352
You screwed up. Fine. Ok?
It was a moment of weakness.
613
00:29:31,352 --> 00:29:34,230
But do you really want
to get kicked out of school
614
00:29:34,230 --> 00:29:37,191
for cheating on something
that has the word practice
in front of it?
615
00:29:37,191 --> 00:29:39,444
Jack,
you know what I want?
616
00:29:39,444 --> 00:29:41,863
I want to be
free of this thing
617
00:29:41,863 --> 00:29:43,865
once and for all.
618
00:29:43,865 --> 00:29:45,867
You know?
Free of what I did,
619
00:29:45,867 --> 00:29:48,036
and I want to be able
to go to the mirror
620
00:29:48,036 --> 00:29:50,455
and recognize
who I am again.
621
00:29:50,455 --> 00:29:52,290
Andie, there's
got to be a better way.
622
00:29:52,290 --> 00:29:56,503
Jack, I've thought long
and hard about this. Ok?
623
00:29:56,503 --> 00:29:58,672
There is no better way.
624
00:29:58,672 --> 00:30:00,423
Not for me.
625
00:30:03,135 --> 00:30:05,303
Do you mind?
626
00:30:05,303 --> 00:30:08,180
I'm having this steak
for dinner tonight with
a nice bernaise sauce.
627
00:30:08,180 --> 00:30:09,265
Well, what am I having?
628
00:30:09,265 --> 00:30:11,685
Bread and water.
629
00:30:11,685 --> 00:30:13,186
Doug,
I'm a soldier here,
630
00:30:13,186 --> 00:30:14,855
returning from
the killing fields.
631
00:30:14,855 --> 00:30:17,983
I mean, you know,
where's my purple heart,
my ticker-tape parade?
632
00:30:17,983 --> 00:30:19,985
Watch it on
your black and white.
633
00:30:19,985 --> 00:30:22,112
You know, the one with
a coat hanger as an antennae
634
00:30:22,112 --> 00:30:23,571
at the chevron station...
635
00:30:23,571 --> 00:30:25,406
Where you're probably
going to be pumping gas
636
00:30:25,406 --> 00:30:27,075
for the rest of your
natural born life, Pacey.
637
00:30:27,075 --> 00:30:28,910
Of all
the bone-headed moves.
638
00:30:28,910 --> 00:30:30,286
What are you
talking about?
639
00:30:30,286 --> 00:30:32,205
I was right.
It was Matt Caufield.
640
00:30:32,205 --> 00:30:33,707
Yeah, and that
lets you off the hook how?
641
00:30:33,707 --> 00:30:36,043
Because the guy deserves
whatever he gets, ok?
642
00:30:36,043 --> 00:30:38,210
Preferably his silver
spoon shoved up his ass.
643
00:30:38,210 --> 00:30:40,172
Oh, that's funny, Pacey.
That's really funny.
644
00:30:40,172 --> 00:30:42,215
Oh, this is rich.
645
00:30:42,215 --> 00:30:43,717
Here I am, trying
to do the right thing.
646
00:30:43,717 --> 00:30:45,426
You know, sometimes
a guy just can't win.
647
00:30:45,426 --> 00:30:46,761
No. He can't.
648
00:30:46,761 --> 00:30:49,430
Not if he completely
overreacts to a situation.
649
00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:52,225
If you're gonna throw away
your future, just do it
on your own account, ok?
650
00:30:52,225 --> 00:30:53,434
Oh, hey,
don't get me wrong.
651
00:30:53,434 --> 00:30:54,644
Don't think
I ever cared here.
652
00:30:54,644 --> 00:30:56,270
I was only
doing Dawson a favor.
653
00:30:56,270 --> 00:30:58,106
Dawson.
Yes, Dawson.
654
00:30:58,106 --> 00:30:59,900
You know,
looking out for you.
655
00:30:59,900 --> 00:31:02,443
Think back with me,
way back.
656
00:31:02,443 --> 00:31:04,529
You know,
like the beginning
of the school year.
657
00:31:04,529 --> 00:31:06,865
Dawson Leery returns from
the big city a changed man,
658
00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:08,992
determined to sever ties
with girl across the creek.
659
00:31:08,992 --> 00:31:12,162
So, he asks trusted friend
to look after said girl
660
00:31:12,162 --> 00:31:14,206
during the delicate
transitional period.
661
00:31:14,206 --> 00:31:15,749
Trusted friend,
of course he obliges,
662
00:31:15,749 --> 00:31:19,211
and now trusted friend
gets his head handed
to him on a platter.
663
00:31:20,879 --> 00:31:23,048
So you guys
just traded me off
664
00:31:23,048 --> 00:31:24,841
like some sort
of baseball card?
665
00:31:24,841 --> 00:31:26,509
Is that what this is about?
666
00:31:26,509 --> 00:31:27,552
What?
667
00:31:27,552 --> 00:31:30,764
Us. You and me.
I thought that--
668
00:31:30,764 --> 00:31:32,015
You thought what?
669
00:31:33,474 --> 00:31:37,270
I guess I thought
something else, Pacey.
670
00:31:51,534 --> 00:31:53,078
You have consistently
671
00:31:53,078 --> 00:31:55,038
flaunted my authority,
Mr. Caufield.
672
00:31:55,038 --> 00:31:58,083
You have
undermined the ability
of my teachers to educate.
673
00:31:58,083 --> 00:32:01,586
And now, you challenge
my commitment...
674
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:05,257
To reshape this school
into a community.
675
00:32:05,257 --> 00:32:09,010
Principal Green,
it was only a mural.
676
00:32:09,010 --> 00:32:11,387
Yes,
it was only a mural...
677
00:32:11,387 --> 00:32:14,682
But it was so much more
than just a mural.
678
00:32:14,682 --> 00:32:17,102
You don't fool me,
Mr. Caufield.
679
00:32:17,102 --> 00:32:19,146
I know exactly who you are.
680
00:32:19,146 --> 00:32:22,314
You've been led to believe
you're untouchable.
681
00:32:22,314 --> 00:32:25,026
So you disrupt the school.
You disobey the rules.
682
00:32:25,026 --> 00:32:26,527
You serve
to divide the student body
683
00:32:26,527 --> 00:32:28,404
with your arrogance
and your attitude.
684
00:32:28,404 --> 00:32:31,532
Now, you may be smart,
and you may be rich,
Mr. Caufield,
685
00:32:31,532 --> 00:32:33,618
but you are not
above the law.
686
00:32:35,036 --> 00:32:38,248
And for that reason,
it is my decision...
687
00:32:38,248 --> 00:32:41,333
That you be expelled
from Capeside High.
688
00:32:44,712 --> 00:32:46,464
Expelled?
689
00:32:46,464 --> 00:32:48,258
You heard me.
690
00:32:48,258 --> 00:32:49,801
For the rest of the year?
691
00:32:49,801 --> 00:32:51,385
For the rest of the year.
692
00:32:52,846 --> 00:32:54,388
Principal Green...
693
00:32:54,388 --> 00:32:56,349
Do you have any idea
694
00:32:56,349 --> 00:32:58,643
what my father's
gonna say about this?
695
00:32:58,643 --> 00:33:02,189
Yes.
I have a very good idea
696
00:33:02,189 --> 00:33:05,358
of what your father's
gonna say about this.
697
00:33:21,166 --> 00:33:23,210
So what's going on
in there?
698
00:33:23,210 --> 00:33:25,419
I don't know.
It's hard to tell.
699
00:33:25,419 --> 00:33:28,673
No sign of...
Birch cane
or knuckle rapping.
700
00:33:28,673 --> 00:33:30,591
No.
701
00:33:30,591 --> 00:33:32,677
Let's face it.
Pacey's gonna be
lucky
702
00:33:32,677 --> 00:33:35,847
if he gets off
without another
suspension.
703
00:33:37,265 --> 00:33:39,726
The way things
are going, I mean...
704
00:33:39,726 --> 00:33:43,230
You should
have just asked me
to look out for him.
705
00:33:43,230 --> 00:33:45,315
Excuse me?
706
00:33:45,315 --> 00:33:48,484
I know all about
the little wife-swapping
arrangement.
707
00:33:48,484 --> 00:33:49,777
Wife--
708
00:33:49,777 --> 00:33:52,239
Joey, that's
not how it was,
and you know it.
709
00:33:52,239 --> 00:33:54,074
Then how was it?
710
00:33:54,074 --> 00:33:56,409
Well, first of all,
it was months ago.
711
00:33:56,409 --> 00:33:58,661
I mean, things were
very different
between us.
712
00:33:58,661 --> 00:34:01,748
You're right.
Back then I felt like
you still understood me.
713
00:34:01,748 --> 00:34:03,208
Oh, and I don't now?
714
00:34:03,208 --> 00:34:05,043
No. I ever asked
for your pity!
715
00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:07,170
It wasn't--
it wasn't about pity.
716
00:34:07,170 --> 00:34:08,922
I couldn't
be there for you,
717
00:34:08,922 --> 00:34:11,132
but I wanted you
to have someone
you can turn to,
718
00:34:11,132 --> 00:34:12,800
someone you could
talk to.
719
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,303
Now tell me--
where is the harm
in that?
720
00:34:15,303 --> 00:34:17,013
Well, it just would
have been nice
721
00:34:17,013 --> 00:34:19,391
if that someone
could have mustered a shred
of genuine concern.
722
00:34:19,391 --> 00:34:21,809
That someone is in
that room right now
723
00:34:21,809 --> 00:34:24,187
because he's got
a hell of a lot more
724
00:34:24,187 --> 00:34:26,398
than a shred of concern.
725
00:34:28,733 --> 00:34:30,818
Joey,
why are you
doing this?
726
00:34:30,818 --> 00:34:31,986
Doing what?
727
00:34:31,986 --> 00:34:34,197
Casting aspersions
on people
728
00:34:34,197 --> 00:34:35,990
who obviously
care about you.
729
00:34:35,990 --> 00:34:40,412
You really think
that I don't want
the best for you?
730
00:34:40,412 --> 00:34:43,331
Pacey--I mean,
Pacey's a lotta things--
731
00:34:43,331 --> 00:34:45,750
impulsive,
thoughtless,
stubborn--
732
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:47,710
but after everything
that's happened
this year,
733
00:34:47,710 --> 00:34:50,004
can you honestly doubt
for a second...
734
00:34:50,004 --> 00:34:51,881
That he doesn't truly
care about you?
735
00:35:57,864 --> 00:35:59,866
Let me just state
for the record...
736
00:35:59,866 --> 00:36:01,659
I like that man
in there.
737
00:36:01,659 --> 00:36:04,287
In fact, I'll go you
one better--he is
a great human being.
738
00:36:04,287 --> 00:36:05,538
He's got the fairness
of Lincoln,
739
00:36:05,538 --> 00:36:07,499
the charisma of
Martin Luther King, Jr.
740
00:36:07,499 --> 00:36:09,501
He's even-handed
and tempered
741
00:36:09,501 --> 00:36:11,752
and, if I may
say so myself,
742
00:36:11,752 --> 00:36:14,588
acutely susceptible
to a certain type
of irreverent humor.
743
00:36:14,588 --> 00:36:15,923
So he let you
off.
744
00:36:15,923 --> 00:36:17,591
Not exactly.
745
00:36:17,591 --> 00:36:19,093
But he didn't
suspend you.
746
00:36:19,093 --> 00:36:22,763
Well, let's just say
I'm not packing
my bags quite yet.
747
00:36:22,763 --> 00:36:24,974
Although 3 days off
would have provided
a welcome diversion.
748
00:36:24,974 --> 00:36:27,185
Ok, so divulge.
What happened
in there?
749
00:36:27,185 --> 00:36:29,187
I'm gonna be
a mentor.
750
00:36:29,187 --> 00:36:30,688
Be a what?
751
00:36:30,688 --> 00:36:32,565
Mentor. You know,
the Capeside
mentoring program.
752
00:36:32,565 --> 00:36:34,608
Since I seem to be
completely incapable
753
00:36:34,608 --> 00:36:36,610
of suppressing my own
juvenile impulses,
754
00:36:36,610 --> 00:36:38,405
Principal Green
seems to think
755
00:36:38,405 --> 00:36:41,199
that I would benefit
from the company
and example
756
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:43,201
of someone
half my age.
757
00:36:43,201 --> 00:36:44,452
Ha ha ha!
758
00:36:44,452 --> 00:36:45,619
What's so funny?
759
00:36:45,619 --> 00:36:47,330
What about
the poor kid?
760
00:36:47,330 --> 00:36:49,290
What are you
gonna teach him?
761
00:36:49,290 --> 00:36:51,209
What are you
talkin' about?
762
00:36:51,209 --> 00:36:54,003
You gonna teach him
the importance of
keeping a secret?
763
00:36:54,003 --> 00:36:56,464
Like, say, from,
you know...Joey,
for example?
764
00:36:56,464 --> 00:36:58,632
Oh, that...
765
00:36:58,632 --> 00:36:59,842
Uh...she told you.
766
00:36:59,842 --> 00:37:01,219
Yeah.
767
00:37:01,219 --> 00:37:03,679
Hmm. Well,
what do you think
the odds are
768
00:37:03,679 --> 00:37:07,350
that you, yourself,
will be as enlightened
and forgiving a person
769
00:37:07,350 --> 00:37:09,561
as Principal Green
just was?
770
00:37:09,561 --> 00:37:11,312
Not good, Pace.
771
00:37:11,312 --> 00:37:12,313
Ok...
772
00:37:12,313 --> 00:37:14,274
Not good.
773
00:37:21,030 --> 00:37:23,824
To say that I am
profoundly shocked
and disturbed
774
00:37:23,824 --> 00:37:26,578
by what you did
would be
an understatement.
775
00:37:26,578 --> 00:37:28,621
Your behavior was
deceitful, immoral,
776
00:37:28,621 --> 00:37:31,999
and ultimately,
a disgrace
to this school.
777
00:37:31,999 --> 00:37:34,419
I know.
778
00:37:34,419 --> 00:37:38,548
I just...wish that
I could have told you
sooner.
779
00:37:38,548 --> 00:37:40,633
You know I'm going
to have to inform
780
00:37:40,633 --> 00:37:42,260
the educational
testing service,
781
00:37:42,260 --> 00:37:44,220
and that they're gonna
cancel your scores,
782
00:37:44,220 --> 00:37:46,347
and that you're
gonna have to
forfeit your chance
783
00:37:46,347 --> 00:37:48,057
at a merit
scholarship.
784
00:37:48,057 --> 00:37:49,559
I'm aware of that.
Yes.
785
00:37:49,559 --> 00:37:52,270
Now...you say that
there were other
students
786
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:54,230
who were aware
of this test,
787
00:37:54,230 --> 00:37:57,066
but you were
the only one
who exploited it.
788
00:37:57,066 --> 00:37:58,943
Are you absolutely
certain about that?
789
00:37:58,943 --> 00:38:02,029
Absolutely certain.
790
00:38:02,029 --> 00:38:04,991
What do you want me
to do here?
791
00:38:04,991 --> 00:38:08,119
What am I supposed to do
about this, Andie?
792
00:38:08,119 --> 00:38:10,663
Um...
793
00:38:10,663 --> 00:38:12,664
Well...
794
00:38:12,664 --> 00:38:18,254
I heard that Matt Caufield
was expelled from Capeside
today.
795
00:38:18,254 --> 00:38:21,090
And what I did was...
796
00:38:21,090 --> 00:38:24,010
No less grave
or serious an offense.
797
00:38:24,010 --> 00:38:26,971
Is that what
you think?
798
00:38:26,971 --> 00:38:30,600
I cleared out my locker,
and I know that all actions
have consequences.
799
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:31,643
Andie--
800
00:38:31,643 --> 00:38:32,935
Most of all...
801
00:38:32,935 --> 00:38:34,937
I'm sorry for
letting you down
802
00:38:34,937 --> 00:38:36,981
and for letting myself
down.
803
00:38:38,774 --> 00:38:40,652
Andie...
804
00:38:40,652 --> 00:38:43,821
You and Matt Caufield
have nothing in common.
805
00:38:43,821 --> 00:38:46,240
He is a selfish,
spoiled young man
806
00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:48,826
who has no sense
of right or wrong,
807
00:38:48,826 --> 00:38:51,412
who actually
takes pleasure
in hurting others.
808
00:38:51,412 --> 00:38:54,499
The only person
that you hurt...
Is yourself.
809
00:38:56,709 --> 00:38:58,961
But I did cheat.
810
00:38:58,961 --> 00:39:01,797
And it was wrong,
and I should be
punished for it.
811
00:39:01,797 --> 00:39:04,551
When you were on
the disciplinary
committee,
812
00:39:04,551 --> 00:39:06,260
one of the things
that I tried
to teach you
813
00:39:06,260 --> 00:39:08,221
was the idea of
proportionality.
814
00:39:08,221 --> 00:39:10,181
Make the punishment
fit the crime, yes,
815
00:39:10,181 --> 00:39:13,893
but also look at
the person.
816
00:39:13,893 --> 00:39:18,147
Now, Matt Caufield,
he doesn't deserve,
nor would he benefit
817
00:39:18,147 --> 00:39:20,525
from my leniency.
818
00:39:20,525 --> 00:39:22,902
But Andie McPhee...
819
00:39:22,902 --> 00:39:25,363
She just might.
820
00:39:28,449 --> 00:39:30,910
I don't know
what to say.
821
00:39:30,910 --> 00:39:32,453
Don't say
anything.
822
00:39:32,453 --> 00:39:35,456
Get your stuff.
Put it back in
your locker.
823
00:39:35,456 --> 00:39:38,251
As for your
punishment...
824
00:39:38,251 --> 00:39:41,087
I have to think
about that for
a couple of days.
825
00:39:46,342 --> 00:39:48,595
Thank you,
Principal Green.
826
00:39:48,595 --> 00:39:50,846
Thank you.
827
00:40:12,201 --> 00:40:13,827
What on earth?
828
00:40:15,455 --> 00:40:16,872
Hey, Potter.
829
00:40:16,872 --> 00:40:18,958
Pacey, what
are you doing?
830
00:40:20,543 --> 00:40:21,544
Painting.
831
00:40:21,544 --> 00:40:22,795
Duh!
832
00:40:22,795 --> 00:40:24,589
I just thought
it would be good
833
00:40:24,589 --> 00:40:25,839
if you could start
with a blank canvas.
834
00:40:25,839 --> 00:40:28,008
Blank canvas,
huh?
835
00:40:28,008 --> 00:40:30,802
Yeah, you know,
wipe the slate clean,
Tabula Rasa,
836
00:40:30,802 --> 00:40:33,264
return to point "A".
All that good stuff.
837
00:40:33,264 --> 00:40:36,559
And, uh,
who, may I ask
838
00:40:36,559 --> 00:40:39,019
told you I was planning
on repainting the mural
in the first place?
839
00:40:39,019 --> 00:40:41,897
Ah, it's just
this guy I met
out in the street.
840
00:40:41,897 --> 00:40:43,190
Some guy.
841
00:40:43,190 --> 00:40:45,025
Yeah, your typical
do-gooder type.
842
00:40:45,025 --> 00:40:46,193
Mmm.
843
00:40:48,321 --> 00:40:50,364
So...you gonna
thank me?
844
00:40:51,907 --> 00:40:53,117
For what?
845
00:40:53,117 --> 00:40:55,495
Well, for all manner
of things.
846
00:40:55,495 --> 00:40:57,371
You know,
like defending
your honor,
847
00:40:57,371 --> 00:40:59,415
bucking the system--
848
00:40:59,415 --> 00:41:01,834
Tilting at windmills
while in the throes of
a misguided hero complex?
849
00:41:05,505 --> 00:41:07,089
Well, yeah, that, too.
850
00:41:10,009 --> 00:41:12,679
Pacey, if I was going
to thank you for anything,
851
00:41:12,679 --> 00:41:15,264
it would be
for being yourself,
852
00:41:15,264 --> 00:41:18,351
and, you know,
not caring what
anybody else thinks
853
00:41:18,351 --> 00:41:22,730
and for knowing
in your heart what's
right and wrong and...
854
00:41:22,730 --> 00:41:26,609
For being there
this year...
855
00:41:26,609 --> 00:41:28,860
When I needed you
the most.
856
00:41:34,867 --> 00:41:36,243
You're welcome.
857
00:41:38,371 --> 00:41:40,414
So you want help?
858
00:41:43,751 --> 00:41:45,252
One condition.
859
00:41:45,252 --> 00:41:47,254
Sure. Name it.
860
00:41:47,254 --> 00:41:50,090
Be honest.
861
00:41:50,090 --> 00:41:52,844
The only reason
you've been hanging
out with me
862
00:41:52,844 --> 00:41:55,054
is simply because
Dawson told you to?
863
00:41:55,054 --> 00:41:58,182
Yep. That's
the only reason.
864
00:41:58,182 --> 00:41:59,517
Hmm.
865
00:42:00,893 --> 00:42:02,186
You need to get a life.
