Previously on Dawson's Creek
To the future.
So this is New York City.
Thank you.
This blows my mind.
So what are you going to do, Doug, arrest me?
I should.
You're not satisfied
with being a moron and failure,
you gotta add drunk to your list of credentials?
This is it for me, Doug.
This is my whole life right here.
We're not going to do this.
Why not?
Because when we go there, it's not going to be
because you have something to prove to yourself.
I can't believe your mother is still getting dressed.
What is she doin' up there?
Well, there's a whole lot more of her to dress these days.
So not what to say to a woman who's 2 weeks overdue.
She's right, Dawson. You say, "Darling,
I've never seen a woman with a 65" waist look so hot."
You guys are terrible.
What would be terrible is missing our reservation.
This may be our last date before the baby comes,
and if we don't hurry--
Mitch, we have to go. Now.
You're telling me? We're late already.
No. Forget about dinner.
Now?
Now. Now?
Uh-huh. If we don't get moving,
yeah, right here on the stairs.
Ok. How long are your contractions?
Long enough to hurt.
Aah! Aah! Here.
Aah!
I got the bag.
Did you pack my bathrobe?
Flannel. Heavy socks?
Wool. Lip balm?
Damn! I knew I forgot something.
What, are you guys going skiing?
I'm gonna pant for a few hours. Aah!
Here.
Ah, thanks. We should call the doctor.
From the car.
We'll call you, too, son.
Did you remember the birthing music?
I got Enya, John Tesh, Kenny G.
I'm having a baby, not going into a coma.
Well, I guess that pretty much does it for our evening.
Pretty much. Yeah.
Ha ha ha!
Ha!
It's not happening?
They're called Braxton Hicks contractions.
False labor.
Trust me. There is nothing false about these contractions.
You're right, but they're not enough to bring on dilation.
You're still at 1 centimeter, Gale.
Are you sure you're using the right ruler?
So, I take it there's no baby yet?
Mm-mmm.
The baby may decide not to make an appearance for days.
Really?
Normally, I'd have no cause for concern.
But you do.
Because of Gale's age,
there's a significantly increased risk of complications.
What kind of complications?
Now, I don't want anyone to worry.
Then tell us what you're talking about.
If stage 2 labor doesn't begin in a few days,
I'm going to induce,
and if any issues arise,
we've got a great facility here to do an immediate "C."
Oh, my god.
Do you really think that it's gonna be necessary?
Just relax.
Honestly, that's the best thing you can do right now.
Isn't there anything you can do to help the baby along?
Some of my patients try talking to their babies.
What's your baby's name?
That's a very good question.
We haven't quite found the right one yet.
I'm gonna write you a prescription, Gale,
and then I'm gonna go back to dinner with my husband.
You do the same.
"Name your baby."
This assignment is all kinds of stupid.
The story doesn't even have a hero.
Most good stories have a hero of some sort.
But everybody in here has all these problems.
Actually, will, the most interesting heroes usually have a problem
they can't overcome, despite themselves.
Like pathological tardiness.
But many heroes do eventually overcome their flaws.
Yeah. I'll believe it when I see it.
They just have to learn how to avoid
Friday night traffic on water street.
Oh, they didn't learn that last week?
They got stuck on front street last week.
If you two don't mind,
I'm tryin' to pass the fourth grade here.
Ha ha ha ha!
Ok.
Hey, guess who?
I was just callin' to see if you were back yet,
but alas, no beau.
So when you get this, give me a call.
Ok. Bye.
Ok. It's official.
You've become the neurotic girlfriend.
It's just--it's weird.
There's nothing weird about it.
He's away on a fishing trip with his brother.
I found the most adorable onesie downtown.
I just had to get it for Gale.
Help me wrap it.
I'm goin' to Pacey's.
Joey.
What's a naming shower?
You know, instead of booties, everybody brings names.
You people love to invent rituals.
Heh heh!
It's tomorrow afternoon. Can you make it?
Tomorrow? Absolutely.
The day after,
I'm on the noon train to Boston.
What's in Boston?
Well, if my interview for Cambridge Magazine goes well, me.
Cambridge Magazine?
Yeah. They just called
right before you came over.
I applied for this interview
as an assistant lifestyles editor,
and they loved my application.
They're actually thinking of paying me
to go to concerts and museums and restaurants.
Is that amazing or what?
Wow.
Speak your subtext, boy.
I didn't know that you were applying for a job.
Well, I recently made the decision.
I was hoping that you would be psyched for me.
I am psyched for you.
It's an incredible job.
I think you'll be great at it.
But suddenly, this tacit little issue that's been
floating in the back of both of our minds
has become very real.
We're gonna have to talk about it eventually--
"it" referring to the potential continent between us.
Ok.
How do you feel about long distance relationships?
Historically, they don't have the best track record, but--
But we could be that one couple.
Absolutely.
One of us could also join the other.
How could I ask you to come to California?
How could I ask you to come to Boston?
What's going on here? We're--
last week, we're declaring our love for each other.
Now it sounds like we're breaking up.
Well, I just think we're dealing with reality.
Which is what?
Right now it's dinner by candlelight
with the man I love.
You're pretty good at this teaching thing, Mr. McPhee.
Well, I have to say, I kind of enjoy it.
Now if we can just get you to show up on time.
Point taken, pal, which is why you're leaving early.
Oh, come on. That's not necessary.
Yeah, it is.
I've had enough of your grief for one day,
so I'll stay with will and make sure his mom picks him up.
I'll pay my penance.
You sure?
Go.
You sure you know how to lock up after--
Why are you still here?
Ok. Good night, Jack. See you tomorrow.
All right. Later, Tobey.
Will, give me a hand here with those, please.
Ooh.
Whoo!
Cold night.
Buses run late.
I'm really sorry to come by so late.
It's cool. Dawson just left.
Look, I really need to talk to Pacey.
Do you have any idea when he's gonna be back from his fishing trip?
No, I don't, but I'm sure he'll call you as soon as he gets back.
There's something wrong, isn't there?
I mean, this isn't like Pacey.
Gretchen, what's going on?
You know, I told him I wouldn't do this anymore,
and I won't.
What?
Lying.
It's the worst thing for everyone.
Pacey isn't on a fishing trip, is he?
Pacey got arrested for public drunkenness while you were in New York.
Doug got the charges dropped, and then he took him camping
to try to talk some sense into him.
Oh, my god.
This is an intense time.
We're all planning our futures,
trying to figure out what we're gonna do with the rest of our lives,
but if we can't put all that aside
and try to do everything possible
to make Pacey's life easier right now,
he might not have much of one.
He's in a lot of pain,
so you have to promise me that you won't do anything
to put any additional pressure on him right now, ok?
I mean, can you do that?
Do you or do you not know how I can get in touch with him?
Did you just hear what I said?
No. I can't promise you that, Gretchen.
How could you possibly be that selfish?
I'm late.
Joey, I'm so sorry. I had no idea.
It's ok. I'm fine, thank you.
Did you confirm that you're pregnant?
No. I really just need to talk to my boyfriend,
so if there's any way that you can get in touch with him--
As soon as they get back here or if they call in,
I promise to make sure that Pacey gets in touch with you.
Thank you.
Joey, I know that things seem confusing
and frightening,
but you have to find the courage to take the test,
and that way, you can consider your options.
Joey!
I'm fine. I can handle this.
Look, if you change your mind, you can always come back here...
Any time.
Oh, you guys, I thought I made you promise--no gifts.
Asking ladies not to bring gifts to a shower
is like asking the sun not to shine,
birds not to sing.
Good lord. Give this woman a ball of yarn and some knitting needles,
you'll be amazed what she can come up with.
Oh, excuse me. My kitchen's calling.
Oh, hi, honey.
Dawson, why isn't your mom, like, on the couch with her feet up?
Oh, she's not interested.
She's cooking, she's cleaning, she's relentless.
Nesting instinct.
Do you want some laundry done? You could make her day.
Come on.
Hey.
I went to the bookstore this morning
and looked at some magazines--
once certain city magazine in particular.
It's a great read.
I spent the whole morning trying to pack,
you know, and I have to admit, I'm a little nervous.
I mean, the only real job interview I ever had was with your mother.
Mom, I got it.
Oh, thanks, honey.
Ah! Hi, Gretch. Hi.
Hey.
Hi, Joey.
How you doin'?
Fine.
Look, Joey, if you need anything at all, I'm here.
Would you please tell my sister to get a life of her own?
Your brother goes fishing, and, I swear,
she doesn't know what to do with herself.
Oh, Joey!
Hi.
Oh, I haven't seen you in so long. How are you?
Never better.
Oh!
Ok! Everybody, let's get started.
Are you staying?
I...
Tradition is very clear on this matter.
No men at showers.
Well, in case you haven't noticed,
we're kind of a non-traditional household.
That's ok. Dad and I will leave
and let you women do whatever it is you do at these things.
Come on, Dawson.
Let's get out of here before The Vagina Monologues start.
Oh!
Will, where's Tobey?
I don't know.
You haven't seen him, heard from him, anything?
I don't believe it.
Frank, get off that!
It's moving. It's actually moving.
Where did you learn this?
Generations of women have done this.
It was the ultrasound of the middle ages.
So what is it?
A boy or a girl?
It's just what you want.
I'd like to go first.
These are from Bodie and me.
Sophie.
That's an adorable name.
It means "wise."
That's what we were gonna name Alexander if he was a girl.
Hmm. Sophie Leery.
If you have a boy...
Satchel?
He played baseball.
Bodie swore Mitch would love it.
Here we go.
What?
Sorry. I don't picture you
as a stogie-smoking kind of dad.
Well, evidently, it's what you're supposed to do
at a time like this.
According to who, Larry Flynt?
According to Mr. Kasdan.
It was his gift.
I told him I'd do this with you.
I did not, however, promise him
that we would actually light these deadly things.
So, you think any of the names
they're kickin' around down there'll stick?
I wonder if our inability to decide on a name
means that we aren't really dealing
with what's about to happen in our lives.
Yeah, but the good news is,
you guys have had a baby before,
so you know what to expect, right?
Want to know the truth?
Having a newborn in your life is pure, unadulterated hell.
It can't be that bad.
Oh, but it is,
unless you have a breast.
A man doesn't really love a baby the way a woman does--
not at first.
A man loves the idea of a baby.
That changes, right?
One night,
you're standing in a dark room,
exhausted,
reaching for diapers
and answers on a shelf you can't see,
and this little person calls out to you.
"Daddy."
That's when you get it.
You feel your heart expand in a way
you never knew was possible,
and you love this little person so much...
That you actually ache.
I can't explain it any better.
I think the reason you guys are waiting
is because you don't want to just slap a name on this idea.
I think you want to get a sense
of who this new member of our family is,
and I think when you meet him, you'll know.
You're a pretty smart kid, Dawson.
Ha ha ha!
If I were to have a girl,
I think I’d name her Emma.
And for a boy, maybe Jackson?
Jackson pollock.
Made a beautiful mess.
My favorite boys' name--Kurt.
Strong name.
For Kurt Donald Cobain.
Ha ha ha!
And my favorite girls' name--
Isabella,
after a story that my grandmother used to tell me
when I was a little girl.
There are many flowers in the garden,
but the most beautiful will always be Rose.
Rose Leery.
And for a boy, Thomas,
for someone I knew a long time ago.
Gretchen's probably gonna take a job in Boston.
You think it's a reaction
to you getting into USC?
A way of protecting herself?
I don't know.
I mean, I never expected her to follow me to California,
and it's a great opportunity.
I'm really happy for her, but--
Well, just remember, a couple years ago,
your mother and I got a divorce.
Now we're more in love than ever.
So you're saying maybe even if we break up,
we're still destined to be together?
I'm saying you have to follow your own path,
because with everything else in this life,
you just never know.
Look at you and Joey.
Heh.
Well, I was up all night last night,
and I couldn't think of a name,
but I brought you this instead.
I think it embodies everything that a name should.
It used to belong to Dawson,
and, at some point, I'm sure his little brother or sister
will like to wear it.
It's getting harder to tell what's right anymore,
so I hope you like it.
Well, of course it's ok, honey. Thank you.
I'm sure Dawson will be as touched as I am.
And thank all of you.
You have given me so much to think about during this labor
instead of my contractions.
Well, you can be thankful that you're not gonna be
delivering the baby in the middle of a hurricane.
Let's hope not.
As bad as that was, it wasn't near as difficult
as what I saw my mother go through.
Lillian was an amazing woman.
I loved her so much.
34 hours after her water broke,
the baby still hadn't appeared.
So, what made you finally decide to come out and make your grand entrance?
My mother started calling out her name--
"Josephine! Josephine!
Everyone's waiting to meet you,"
and there she was.
This mass of wet, chocolate hair,
these curious, saucer eyes,
and a pout we all know way too well.
Excuse me.
Go away.
You all right?
I've got the flu.
You don't sound sick.
It's bad.
I'm highly contagious.
Go away.
I just had the flu.
This is a different strain--strain "D."
You haven't had this.
Come on, Tobey. Open up.
Come on, man.
Some flu.
Yeah. Don't freak.
It only hurts when I blink.
What happened?
I had a divergence of opinion
on how a couple of local entrepreneurs
should pay for their crack, and I lost the dispute.
So you got mugged.
Yeah.
Now, look, if you'll excuse me,
my ice pack is thawing.
Heh.
Did you report it?
Look, it was a mugging. They got 12 bucks.
It's not worth the trouble.
Come on. I don't want to talk about it.
It'll take 10 minutes. We just go to the cops--
What am I gonna tell 'em?
That I frighten some people,
so they beat the crap out of me?
Just go home, Jack.
Whoa, whoa. Tobe--Tobey!
What is going on with you?
Is it suddenly inappropriate or immoral
to get a little emotional
at a baby shower?
You're more than emotional. You're neurotic.
You're obsessed with finding your boyfriend.
You're creeped out being here.
Every time Gale looks at you,
you look the other way.
If I didn't know you weren't having sex,
I’d...
Joey.
Can you just leave me alone?
Are you pregnant?
What are you talking about?
I can't believe this. What happened?
I'm not having this conversation with you.
Hey, you better watch it,
because if something is wrong, you're gonna need me.
Why, so I can sit through another series of endless lectures?
So you can straighten out your life.
Oh, and have one more like yours.
You think you're better than me?
Look at you. You're just like Mom. You're just like me.
No, I'm not, because I assure you, Bessie,
that no matter what happens, my life will be different.
You said that right,
because at least I have someone in my life
who knows how to take care himself,
not to mention a family. Do you?
Somebody get my jacket!
Got it. What's going on?
Gale is in labor.
Well, I got to hand it to you, Mom.
That is the fastest way to end a party
and clear out the house I've ever seen.
Going into labor.
I'll have to remember that one.
How are you feeling, Gale?
I want drugs.
So do I.
We'll see what we can do.
Howdy, stranger.
What, are you churning butter now, too?
Grams has the needles working in overdrive
for Gale's baby.
There's something kind of meditative
and therapeutic about it, too.
So, what brings you to these parts?
Just wandering.
That's what people do in these kinds of towns.
They just wander over to their friends' homes
and...ponder their trivial problems.
Tell me tales of your trivial woes.
Woe is Tobey.
That boy is in love.
That boy is on crutches.
Crutches?
Seriously? What happened?
He says he got robbed.
You know, if I got robbed, I'd be furious.
I'd want to report it, I'd want to do something.
Yeah, me, too.
Well, he just wants to be left alone.
I think he got attacked 'cause he's gay.
Oh, god.
You think I’m being paranoid?
No. Paranoid is
healthy. Trust me.
He was the guy on top of the soap box
when we first met him.
He was carrying on about taking action.
So what are you gonna do?
I--I don't know.
I mean, I tried to talk to him.
He doesn't want any help.
What, and you're just gonna leave it at that?
Yeah. What do you want me to do?
I mean, it's really none of my business.
Jack...
If I got attacked, what would you do?
That's not the same thing.
No, the only difference is that in this case,
you're exactly like the victim.
For my dad. He's nervous about bringing a newborn
into his life.
Well, it changes everything.
Consistently putting somebody else's wants
and needs before your own.
I think that's what finally makes us a grownup.
Wonder what that says about us.
I think we consider each other's needs, Dawson.
Yeah, up to a point.
And then, you know, we have to think about ourselves.
Do you think it should be different
at this time in our lives?
I...
I--I don't know.
All I know is that there's this stupid part of me
that just wants to beg you to come with me.
And the other part of you?
The other part of me is smarter...
And knows that you have to let people go.
The timing sucks.
I mean, it just sucks.
Can I ask you something?
Maybe I’m misinterpreting things,
but I really thought you wanted to sleep with me.
Something seemed to change your mind
that night on the beach.
It just wasn't the right time.
Is there ever gonna be a right time?
Dawson, if I go to Boston and you go to L.A...
Getting closer is just gonna make things more painful.
What made you decide to apply
for a job in Boston?
You're leaving...
And I am so unbelievably happy for you, but--
look, I can't take that next step,
open myself up like that just to be left.
I just can't do that.
You know, I've gotta get on with my own life.
It's not happening.
Not today.
False alarm.
Oh...
Here, honey. This should help a bit.
Hey, I'm just as surprised as you are.
I just--
I didn't really have anywhere else to go.
Well, come in.
Plan on leaving the country?
Uh, no.
Actually, I have an interview
for a magazine job in Boston.
How are you holding up?
Well...
Considering I've turned into this crazy person
that I don't even recognize...
Great.
God, I...
I can't believe how ill-prepared I am for this.
What was I thinking?
You fell in love, you had sex.
I mean, even if you take every precaution,
it's bound to change your world completely.
Could you imagine Pacey with a baby?
You know, it's funny, 'cause I think Pacey
would probably like the idea of a baby.
I mean, he's great with kids,
attentive to women.
The problem with the scenario
is that Pacey just can't deal with Pacey.
I know, and believe me,
the last thing I want to do
is make his life more difficult, but...
I really need him right now, Gretchen.
Have you told Bessie?
Pretty much.
Right after I told her
that her life disgusts me.
Look, make amends with your sister, Joey.
I mean, being pregnant,
whether you choose to stay that way or not,
is ultimately about family.
And trust me,
you're gonna want that support system
around you.
You sound like you're pretty familiar
with this situation.
Last year, in college...
I miscarried.
I'm sorry.
That's why I came back here.
To deal with everything.
Everything that you're dealing with now.
Well, you've been successful.
I mean...
New boyfriend, maybe a new job.
Is Dawson gonna go to Boston with you?
No, Dawson and I are in very different places
in our lives.
Gretchen, you do know that Dawson would lasso the moon for you, right?
I know...
But how can I let someone do that
when he's about to leave?
You don't shut him out of your life.
And you Cherish that big part of him
that he always wants you to have.
No matter what happens...
You never forget him.
Who wants to watch Andrew Dice Clay?
I deleted a bunch of sappy date movies.
Now it thinks I’m a misogynistic cynic.
Oh, Mitch, the contractions are getting stronger.
This is it. It's definitely time.
Honey, don't you think you ought to wait a while?
Just till you're positive.
Oh, I am quite positive.
Aah!
How about Reservoir Dogs?
I said it's time.
Hey...
I am going to have a baby.
Now, get off the sofa
and get your ass in the car!
That hurts.
Don't talk to me about pain. Don't.
I think she means it this time.
Was it the "go" or the "away"
that tripped you up?
This is Officer Sullivan.
He's the youth Officer at Capeside.
Nice to meet you.
Oh, boy, I knew I shouldn't have
ripped that tag off my mattress.
He's gonna make sure that the right people pay attention to this.
Yeah, sure.
Look, I know you're scared.
You don't know anything.
You have to report this.
How dare you come into my house
and tell me what I have to do.
You're lucky my parents aren't here right now.
Are they the ones telling you not to talk about this?
Because for the life of me,
I don't understand why they didn't make you
call the cops 2 days ago.
Because maybe, like me,
all they want to do is forget
about what happened.
Which grows increasingly difficult
every time you show your face here.
Now please, just go.
The odds weren't in your favor
the other night, Tobey. You know that, right?
Excuse me?
Tobey, you're 3 times more likely
to be threatened by someone
with a weapon than a straight kid.
There's a 70% chance of you being harassed,
and a 30% chance that someone's gonna...
Do this to you.
Which is why I need for you to talk to me about what happened.
Most kids, they don't have the strength.
Or they don't get the chance.
Or have the friends to support them.
I was, uh...
Waiting for the bus on market and 16th
when this guy came up next to me.
He was tall, uh,
black hair.
I'd seen him a couple nights before.
I--I made some stupid small talk or something
about the busses running late.
And then I looked him in the eyes...
And smiled at him.
I guess I shouldn't have done that or something,
because he yelled "faggot" at me
or something, and then...
Before I knew it, there was somebody else.
Uh, a friend of his or something
came out of nowhere.
And one held me while the other one
just started wailing on me.
Punching me in the face,
kicking me...
And then at some point
I just fell to the ground.
This isn't your fault.
All I did was smile at him.
I now know way too much
about the hospital parking attendant's life.
Your mother's been in hard labor all night.
How's she doing?
I don't know.
Quite frankly, that worries me.
There's a lot of whispering going on over there.
Tell them you want to know.
Been there. All I get is
"Relax, Mr. Leery.
Help your wife focus on her breathing."
Aah! Mitch!
I'm glad you're here.
What are you doing up?
I get up at dawn every morning.
It's the only time I have to myself.
I spent the night at Gretchen's.
Do you know I once climbed into your crib
and pushed you out?
Did you drop me on my head?
Because that would explain a lot.
Before you came along,
Mom and I had a good thing going.
I hated you.
You hated me 'cause you were jealous.
You hated me because I was
taking your mom away, but...
Mostly you hated me because you knew
you'd always have to take care of me.
I really did want your life to be better than mine.
Bessie, you went first.
You took on the full brunt of this storm.
And you didn't do what others would have.
You didn't run, you didn't cower,
you created this
warm, loving, safe place.
And you raised a baby
and a little sister.
I hope I would have the strength and courage to...
Create a life for myself
that's even remotely like yours.
I just want you to know I love you
and I'm here for you if--if you want me.
Another day.
Oh, what now? Oprah?
You didn't think I was going
to tutoring without you?
Uh, if you haven't noticed,
I'm not exactly presentable.
Well, then, we'll tell 'em you fell off your skateboard.
They're kids, Jack. Not imbeciles.
Fine. Then we'll tell 'em you fell off your high horse.
Whatever. You're not gonna sit around the house all day.
Get your coat.
What is this?
A couple of months ago, you were all about
not getting involved,
and suddenly you're some big homo activist?
Maybe I'm just a Tobey activist.
Oh, as much as my ego would like to buy
that attractive piece of merchandise,
somehow it doesn't quite fit.
What's happened to you, Jack?
It's more like what's gonna happen.
Someday, I'm gonna want to walk through the park
and I'm gonna want to hold some guy's hand
and...
What if I forget to look around first?
What if the wrong people see me do that?
We're not so different, you and I.
I used to think that we were,
but we're not.
If I would have left early, it would have been me.
And you're just now realizing this?
Yeah. Better late than never.
Yeah, and better on time than late.
Come on, man. It's way too early in the day
for one of your lectures.
Oy!
You know, if you were really a Tobey activist,
you would have carried me down the steps.
Yeah, don't push your luck, man.
How is she?
Uh...
She's been in there all night
and all day and I’m--
I'm starting to get the impression
things aren't progressing the way they're supposed to.
It can be a long process, Dawson.
Yeah, I'm sure she'll be fine.
Hey, um, is...
Excuse me.
Dawson.
A couple of weeks ago,
I'm wandering through these halls,
praying for somebody to die.
And now here I am, same halls,
praying for somebody to be born.
Is it just me, or did life
suddenly broaden this year?
It's not just you.
I...
Think the stakes have been raised
for everyone.
Have you and Pacey talked about him
being near Worthington next year?
Uh, Pacey and I haven't really discussed
the future too much lately.
You should.
It has a peculiar way of unexpectedly
becoming the present.
Dawson, Gretchen is crazy about you.
She told me last night.
Then you probably also know that she's on a train right now
for Boston where she's probably gonna be living.
And you're absolutely certain
that there's no way to bridge the gap?
I was hoping that there would be,
but I...
Don't think that's gonna happen.
Dawson...
It's not what I thought it was gonna be.
What's that?
Sex.
Isn't that what you're talking about?
Jo...
I want you to know something.
Sex doesn't necessarily
bring people closer together.
It's just a magnifying glass.
I mean, if there's a problem,
it gets bigger.
And if there's closeness...
You get closer.
As far as you and Gretchen are concerned,
I mean...
You guys are probably a lot closer
than a lot of people who are having sex.
Someone wants to meet you, Dawson.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Isn't she just gorgeous?
Isn't she perfect?
She?
You have a sister, Dawson.
I have daughter.
She's so small.
She's so beautiful.
Congratulations.
I see both of you in her.
She wasn't sure she wanted to join us today.
You know, it took a lot of coaxing.
How did you finally get her to change her mind?
Oh, I just started calling out her name.
"Lillian, Lillian.
Everyone's waiting to meet you."
And there she was.
Lillian.
Honey, do you want to hold her?
Oh, yeah.
There we go.
Hello, Lillian.
I'm Dawson...
Your big brother.
Welcome to our family.
You couldn't have picked a better one.
Hello.
Hey, Gretchen told me
I had to call immediately. What's wrong?
Actually, nothing.
I thought I had a huge problem,
but, um...
I was wrong.
Well, what kind of problem did you think you had?
It's nothing that you should worry about.
The important thing is that you focus on yourself.
Where are you?
I told you, I’m fishing with Dougie.
We're having the time of our lives out here.
Caught a 90-pound marlin yesterday.
We're living the high life, Jo.
The high life.
You and I got to get out here some time.
Yeah, we will.
We'll have to do that real soon.
Yeah.
I miss you.
I miss you, Pace.
I thought you had a train to catch.
You know the best thing about trains?
There's always a later one.
This is crazy.
Insane.
What are we doing?
Prolonging the inevitable.
Living in denial.
Who knew denial could feel this good?
You know there's no hope for us.
How could there be?
We're headed in completely different directions.
We might as well be going to 2 different planets.
We should really break up right now.
Just get it over with.
I agree.
I never want to see you again.
