Previously on Dawson's Creek
This just might be the best movie ever.
I think we're ready
and we're going to show this thing.
I have totally and completely fallen for you.
You move me, Audrey,
all over the place.
You'll have to forgive my friends
if they're not vying to meet you,
but they're really good like that.
Contrary to popular opinion,
I may not actually be the devil.
Don't get ahead of yourself, slim.
Jury's still out on that one.
You are on academic probation.
Yeah. It's no big deal. I'll make it up this term.
Hey, get me another one.
Later.
Ok, so let me get this straight.
Oh, no. Why do I feel a quasi-feminist rant coming on?
Shut up.
So basically, spring break is hunting season,
Florida is the forest,
and girls are the target.
Jo, you're acting as if the girls
don't have a choice in the matter.
Oh, sure they do.
You know, they could either hook up
with the drunk jock from Arizona state
or the date-rapist- in-training
from the nearest community college.
Or they can stay home and study,
which, come to think of it,
does not sound like such a bad idea.
Would you just go already?
Have fun. You deserve it.
Can't you just skip that big Hollywood meeting and come with us?
For the umpteenth time,
it's not a big Hollywood meeting.
We're simply going to New York to meet an agent
who is interested in the movie.
Make that the only agent who is interested in the movie.
Dawson, it's huge.
Everything you've worked for,
everything you've ever wanted,
it's happening because you made it happen.
You did it and I'm very proud of you.
Well, thank you, but it's not--
No! I will not let another self-deprecating word
come out of your mouth.
You rule. You rock. You are a golden god.
Now, accept it.
You know who'd really get a kick out of all this?
Who?
Mitch.
Yeah.
Yeah, he would have.
He would've. He absolutely would have.
He would have-- he would have talked my ear off about it.
He would've had to know the agent.
He'd have to know his client list. I'd have to--
he'd probably make me do a practice run with him.
It's weird.
What's that?
You've had this year, this completely awful year,
and yet somehow everything worked out for the best, you know?
That's one way of looking at it.
You don't think?
All I know is I came back from L.A. for a reason,
a very simple, very specific reason.
I feel bad, sometimes--
a lot of times, actually--
for how I made you feel after he died.
I've never held it against you, not for a single second.
You did what you had to do to get through it.
Yeah.
And...
What?
I don't know. Sometimes I think it's better...
When we don't get to touch our dreams.
Do you really believe that?
I don't know. No. Yes.
I spend half the time wondering what might have been
and the other half thinking "just as well."
Do you think we'll ever get it right?
Not in this lifetime.
How 'bout the next one?
Or the one after that, when we're both cats.
Ok, seriously...
Good luck.
Thank you.
You, too. Have fun, ok?
Remember the sunblock and bring me back a souvenir.
Preferably something of the, you know,
"My soulmate went to Florida and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" vibe.
Goodbye.
Are you aware that you haven't said one word
in an hour and a half?
I'm listening to the radio.
I turned it off 20 minutes ago.
Oh.
So what are you thinking about?
Or shall I say, "who"?
Nobody.
Ok. But if you're not gonna talk to me
I may have to sing.
Be my guest.
♪ Dawson, we're on the highway ♪
♪ we're gonna get a little bit of--♪
Stop. Joey.
What was--?
I was thinking about Joey.
Don't ever do that again, please.
Interesting.
The Doe-eyed brunette, hmm?
So what's the story on that one?
It's a very long story.
Does it look like I'm going anywhere, sport?
All right. Stop me when you get confused.
I just don't think it's a good idea for me to sleep over anymore.
I just think our emerging hormones are destined to alter our relationship
and I'm trying to limit the fallout.
Things change, Dawson. Evolve.
Joey! Up here!
Joey!
Hey! Hello!
Aah! Aah! Ahh!
Hey, scrumptious.
I was kinda...
In the middle...
Of doing something.
Mmm. My god, I love this bed.
This bed is bigger than my entire room.
Yeah, plus, my parents put one of those foamy egg crates underneath,
so it's super comfy.
Your parents are wonderful people.
Well, I'll tell them you said so.
You do that.
Do your parents even know who I am?
Do your parents know who I am? Nope.
Well, neither do mine.
I didn't think so.
I mean...
What would I even tell them about you?
Well, you could tell them that I'm good in bed.
That would go over huge.
Really, what would you tell your parents about me?
Nothing.
Right.
That's right, right?
Right. Yes. Obviously.
Right, 'cause correct me if I'm wrong,
but the last thing that parents want to hear about
is how much premarital sex their children are having.
Yeah, especially with some guy
who's not even my boyfriend.
I mean, officially.
Exactly.
Well, I appreciate you letting me know.
Found him!
Ok. Bye.
What are you doing up there?
Nothing. What do you want?
Well, we're gonna pick rooms
and we thought that we'd "Rock, paper, scissors"
for the waterbed suite.
You know what, just--
take whatever you want.
All right? I gotta go to the market
and get the necessary provisions.
Oh, can you get some yogurt? Yeah.
Hold on, all right?
I said the necessary provisions, all right?
That's beer and that's Jell-O. That's it.
Ok. If I give you money, would you pick up some cold medicine for me, too?
I sort of feel something coming on and I'd really like to nip it in the bud.
Yeah, just gimme the money.
Hello.
Hello, gorgeous.
So, I was beginning to worry. You haven't called for 3 hours.
Oh, so you do like my calling.
What do you want, exactly?
Nothing, really. Just your address.
No problem. I'm at 359 no-way-in-hell Avenue
on the corner of get-over-it and main.
You know, you challenge me, Joey Potter.
I thought we agreed to take a break
from these incessant phone calls.
Look, I would be happy to stop calling.
Just tell me where you are.
I'm in your dreams, Charlie Todd.
See, now, wait a second. That sounded suspiciously like flirting to me.
Maybe...
And this is what a dial tone sounds like.
So this is spring break, huh?
Yup.
You know, it's funny, it doesn't really look like the brochures.
Hey, I provided the house.
You people were supposed to bring on the fun.
We could order some pizzas.
We could rent some movies.
We could play strip poker.
No.
Oh, come on. It's not like
I haven't seen you all naked before.
Ok, ok. We'll rent movies.
Bless you!
Thank you.
Pace.
Thank you.
Hey. Why do I know that guy?
Who is he?
Oh, my god! Is that Chris Hartford?
Oh, my god.
The movie star I ordered from my Teen Beat catalog
finally got here. I was so worried.
Audrey!
I was hoping you'd be here.
Chris. Wow. Hey. How are you?
She's hugging a movie star.
It's so weird.
I'm sorry. You guys, this is my friend Chris.
Chris, these are all my friends from college.
Hey. Chris.
Jack.
We're not famous.
How do you guys know each other?
Well, we went to high school together.
We went to the same school.
What are you doing here?
Well, MTV's sponsoring this concert at a hotel a couple blocks down.
It's this new band, m2m. You guys know 'em?
Yeah! Marit and Marion from Norway.
Marit's favorite food is chicken noodle soup,
where Marion prefers orange Fanta as her drink of choice.
Anyways, gave me free tickets
if you guys want to go.
Actually, we were just making these plans.
Or, you know,
we could go to a big MTV concert,
'cause that's cool, too.
Great. I'll lead the way.
Is it true that you're dating Jennifer love Hewitt?
So--
Don't even bother asking,
because the answer is no.
Really? Didn't make the top 5?
We were friends. God.
What do I look like, the whore of Babylon?
Don't answer that question.
Go. I'm gonna wait for Joey.
That's Chris.
Chris as in...
The one. The one who I think of
every time In Your Eyes comes on the radio.
My perfect high school boyfriend
who every other boy gets compared to,
and who no ones lived up to yet.
Yeah, that's him. He's here.
Kill me now.
Why--why did you tell Pacey he's just a friend?
I had to.
Pacey and I are on the cusp
of figuring out our whole thing,
and if he knew that Chris was the love of my young life,
it would just get all kinds of confusing.
But lying to him will make it all better.
Hey, Mother Theresa,
why don't you go take a smoke break
and bring back my good friend Joey.
You're right. I'm sorry.
What do you need?
I need to go throw up.
Oh, no. It'll be ok.
I'm gonna go change.
Ok. I'll be here.
Hello?
Joey Potter.
You again.
That's right.
I was starting to feel like
we were estranged or something.
Well, you know,
I'm just doing my best to track you down.
How'd you make out?
Well, not too bad, actually.
Really?
No.
I'll call you right back.
Are you sure you don't want to?
I appreciate your offer, but I'm here with somebody.
I don't see her next to you right now.
Occasionally, I have to let her mingle with the people.
I'm good that way.
Don't leave. I'll be right back.
I have to do something.
Women, right, they just will not take "no" for an answer.
I mean, who does she think she is?
Hello, Miami!
Oh, that's who she is.

Next, I 411 Beverly Hills
and got 10 numbers to match the last name Liddell.
I go through the numbers and ask if any of these people
happen to have a daughter named Audrey Liddell.
One of them does.
Only one?
What a break.
I thought so.
So I ask where I might be able to locate their daughter,
explaining that I am her lab partner
and that she has accidentally taken my notes.
So they give me the number, and I 411 again...
Match up the number with the address,
and here I am.
Impressed?
Incredibly.
Especially since
Audrey's parents are in Europe right now.
Ok. Pacey told me.
You asked Pacey about me?
After the road trip from hell?
Now that's impressive.
It is?
Damn it!
You know, I put a lot of work into this story.
You know, I even typed it up.
Poor Charlie.
Still haven't learned the merits of honesty.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Where are you going?
As flattered as I am with the typing and all,
it doesn't mean I'm gonna hang out with you.
Ugh!
♪ Everything, everything, everything ♪
Hey, man, thanks again for getting us in here.
That was very cool of you.
Oh, I'm glad you're having fun.
So, do you know Audrey really well?
Yeah, you could say that.
She's great, isn't she?
Just funny, beautiful...
You got a question you want to ask me,
or we just gonna dance around all night?
Man. Damn, I'm no good at this.
So, what? You, like, you had a crush on Audrey
in high school or something?
We dated for 2 years.
You dated for 2 years?
Well, damn.
I guess that crush worked out for you, then, right?
Congratulations. That's--that's great.
Oh, man. I thought you knew,
and here I am trying to figure out if you guys are...
But it looks like you're not, so, cool.
Why cool?
I don't know.
I'm just remembering how much I love that girl
just seeing her again.
You know?
Yeah. No, of course, I understand.
Uh, but, look, I'm gonna get back to it,
so, see you soon. All right.
We did have this A&R guy interested in us for a while,
but right now we're just, you know,
trying to find our voice.
Trying to take the time to develop musically.
Right.
We don't want to get commercialized too quickly.
He's just being modest.
Excuse me?
He didn't tell you his name, did he?
Ok, look. I barely even know this girl,
so if you could just, you know, go away.
I don't know how many times I've told you
to be honest when you're trying to pick up a girl.
Don't be ashamed of your success.
What success?
Oh, wow.
He grew up to be way hotter than I expected.
Right?
I mean, you can see it, can't you,
now that I've mentioned it?
No, totally.
Totally. I see it.
Thank god you told me, right?
Like I probably would've hooked up with him,
and how embarrassing would that have been?
Later.
Keep in touch, Hillary.
So, would you mind telling me what it was
that you said to that woman to make her flee?
I may have said that...
You were the kid from Hanson--
the little one all grown up.
Which is actually a compliment, really.
I mean, they were much deeper than people realize.
You're just hearing what you want to hear.
No. I think I'm hearing what you're afraid to tell me.
Joey, it hurts to be around you.
If I see you even from across a room,
it brings up a thousand memories.
As long as I can remember,
everything always comes back to you.
No matter what was happening between us,
even the thought of you was at least
a constant comfort, but...
I can't go back.
It just hurts.
Are you actually crying?
A little bit.
It's all very sad,
very merchant ivory.
How does it end?
That's the thing. It doesn't.
Ok. In your heart of hearts,
how would you want it to end?
I don't know. I don't...
I don't know. All I really care about is that she's happy.
Jeez Louise, you are boring.
I think it should end tragically.
10 years from now, she passes you in the street.
You're penniless and pathetic.
And you run after her,
but she just thinks you're some crazy bum.
And then, just as you're crossing the street...
Pssshh!
You get hit by a bus.
You definitely have a problem with endings.
Come on. Tell me more.
I live for this junk.
All right.
♪ When you walked in my world ♪
♪ I was someone else's girl ♪

So, listen, next time you're in New York...
Give me a call, and I'll hook you up.
Yeah, with what?
Concert tickets, backstage passes,
and maybe even a behind-the-scenes tour.
Cool. Yeah.
Excuse me.
Is, uh, this guy bothering you?
No.
Well, he looks like he is.
Just, you know, go away, dude.
Actually, he used to be a member of--
Dit dit dit dit dit. Heh heh heh.
Don't say it. Don't even think it.
I'm gonna go mingle.
It was really nice meeting you, Joey.
Nice meeting you.
"Go away, dude"?
Hey, it worked, didn't it?
Jen, Jen.
I found you.
I entered us in a hotel raffle.
We could win, like, 2 weeks in a Miami timeshare.
Yeah! Awesome. Give me a whoo-whoo!
Come on. Whoo! Whoo!
Whoo. Whoo. You all right?
I didn't mean to lie, exactly.
Of course not. You just couldn't help yourself.
I just--I didn't want to have this discussion right now.
It would not have been a discussion
if you would've just told me, Audrey.
Come on. You never would've let it go that easy.
You would've asked me a million questions,
like you always do.
Like I always do?
I always do things?
You would've wanted to know how long we dated,
how many times we had sex,
if he was better than you.
It would've ruined our whole evening.
You're quite right.
Your way of doing things is much better
because we're having a great time now.
I am sorry. Ok?
I messed up.
There's more to this whole thing, isn't there?
God! What more do you wanna know?
Yes, Chris and I dated. Yes, I loved him.
He was like... My Dawson. Ok?
Breaking up with him was, like,
the hardest thing I've ever had to do,
and every once in a while,
I wonder if I made the wrong decision.
Is that what you wanted to hear?
Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
Ugh. So...
I don't--what?
Are you mad at me now?
No, I'm not mad at all.
Why would I be mad?
Ok. Well, you're freaking me out.
Why?
This was supposed to be fun.
Remember, Audrey?
With no strings attached.
Lying is for people who are in serious relationships,
and you and I were never that serious.
No. You're absolutely right.
Thanks a lot, Pacey.
Trust me, I did the right thing.
How did you manage to rationalize that one?
Just hear me out for a second.
Back in the day,
how would the old-school Pacey
deal with a complicated love triangle?
He would dive right in, get all bloodied up,
and still lose the girl in the end anyway.
Pacey, that's not even the same--
Eh, eh, it's ok, because...
I learned from it.
I learned how to recognize it,
and I learned how to avoid it,
thereby, not making the same mistake twice.
And you know what they call that, friend?
They call that growth.
Pace, how do you know that's even the same thing?
Because she said, "He's my Dawson."
Which is, of course, my personal kryptonite.
Ok, so I had a Dawson.
Do you see me with him today?
No.
He's part of her past.
If there's anything that I've learned from history,
it's that Dawson is not the past tense of a noun for you ladies.
If anything, he is the past, present, and future.
So, what I'm looking for is a woman
who has no soulmate to speak of.
No soulmate and smallish feet, that's all I want.
You want Audrey.
That's not going to happen.
And she wants you.
If you would just open yourselves up
to the possibility that you could need each other,
you might actually fall in love.
Right.
So, what about you?
Do you actually follow your own advice,
or do I have to dispense it for you?
Him? No.
That's different.
I don't even like him.
No, of course not.
The blushing, the flirting,
the laughing, the singing--
Ok. Maybe I like him a little,
but just in that stupid fun way.
It's not like I could see us
ever having a serious future.
Who said anything about a serious future?
I'm talking about right now.
What's the point? If I already--
The point is...
He came all the way here to see you.
And he called me-- a rather intimidating ex-boyfriend--
to find out where you were.
That takes guts.
Or he could just be an idiot.
He could be.
Why don't you go find out?
Ok.
I never said it wasn't confusing.
Ok. Then tell me one thing you know.
I know I wanted you there.
At the end of the day when I got back to my room,
I wanted you there.
Why?
I don't know why.
I don't know what I meant.
I just know that I wanted you there.
Maybe that's the ending we're supposed to have.
Maybe every other attraction we feel
towards each other is just fear
of moving on and growing up.
Is that what you really think?
I don't know.
But I do know if I get on this plane,
I'm never gonna find out.
All right? 'Cause we're gonna move on,
we're gonna grow up.
And 4 years from now, we're gonna wake up,
and we're gonna be complete strangers to each other.
And the only thing that I know for sure
is that I don't want that to happen.
Do you?
No.
So, Dawson, you're thinking about it, aren't you?
What?
Highjacking the car, going to Florida.
No. Pfft.
No. No.
Th-th-that'd be completely ridiculous.
Hmm?
What, are you stupid? No. It's...
Even if I was,
what's left to say at this point?
Listen, I don't know what's going through your head, man,
but that story...
The way you told it...
Well, it sounds like the sun
rises and sets with this girl.
It does.
So, then why don't you
hang your balls out there and tell her that?
I feel like I don't have the right.
I pushed her away, and she moved on.
Well, maybe she has.
But until you have that conversation,
how will you ever know?
Uhh!
What about the meeting?
Well, we'll reschedule.
It happens all the time.
Meetings come and go, but this...
This is how you achieve true greatness, my friend.
Huh?
Which way to Florida?
Great Caesar's ghost, let's go!
Don't people usually surf in the water?
Are you going to question every single thing that I say?
Most likely, yes.
You think that's funny, don't you?
Yeah. Yeah?
- Aah! No. - Oh, no, you don't! Hey!
Hmm?
You sure partied hard last night.
Hmm. Yeah. I know.
I had a blast. I think.
Well...you passed out, and I put you to bed.
Yeah, well...
Thank you for that, Jen.
Will we be arriving at a point anytime soon?
I think maybe you're drinking to--
No, no, no, no.
You're not gonna do that, all right?
You're not gonna turn this into some PSA
on the perils of undergrad drinking. Just don't.
You didn't let me finish, all right.
This isn't about how much you drink.
It's just that I've been watching you lately,
and it seems like you're drinking to forget something.
Is there anything that you wanna talk about with me?
That's all I'm asking.
No. I'm fine.
I don't wanna talk about anything.
Oh, no. Are you still sick?
Don't let the wheezing and sneezing fool you.
I'm fine.
You look all glowie.
I surfed.
Well, it wasn't exactly surfing,
but I did manage to stay on the board
for a good 5 seconds.
Cool. Did Audrey teach you?
No. Charlie, actually.
You spent the day with Charlie?
Yeah. Is that ok with you?
Yeah, of course it is.
I just...
Eh, I don't know.
I just don't know why you'd want to waste your time, Jo.
Well... It is my time.
And, anyway, he makes me laugh sometimes.
Yeah. Well, that's how he reels you in.
Trust me, ok? I've been there.
You know what?
I think I'm gonna go with my instincts on this one,
but thank you.
Well, Joey,
what are your instincts telling you?
Well, for starters, they're telling me
that you're probably not the best person
to advise me in this particular situation.
Look, I don't want to see you get hurt by him. That's all.
Come on, Jen.
It's not like you've ever had my feelings in mind before.
I mean, what were your instincts telling you
when you slept with Dawson?
Look, I knew that was going to be an issue, ok--
But you went ahead with it anyway,
and I didn't say anything.
So why don't you have the same courtesy
for me right now?
Ok. Fine. Fine.
If he really means that much to you--
I don't even know what he means to me yet,
but what does he mean to you?
Nothing.
Then why do you care so much?
Um...
You left your keys at the beach.
Thanks.
I'm gonna go back to bed. I just don't feel that good.
You know what? Can we go somewhere?
Sure. Where?
Anywhere but here.
I missed your freckles.
How did you get in here?
The sniffly girl let me in.
These ones right here, I love there.
Ok. I bet you that you could have any freckle
you wanted in the world, Mr. Movie-star- in-training.
Hey, don't say that.
I know you probably think it, just don't say it, ok?
Ok.
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened
if I followed you to Boston.
Would we still be together?
I don't know.
We're different people now.
I'm different.
You don't seem that different.
Just a little sad, that's all.
I'll be fine.
Sometimes I still wish we were in high school.
Things just seemed a lot easier.
I know what you mean.
You know, there's a trick to this thing.
I just...I can never remember what it is.
I'm surprised you brought a tent.
Well, I didn't think you were gonna let me sleep with you.
You're right about that one.
You look really beautiful tonight.
Did I do something wrong?
You know what? I'm sorry. I should go.
Hey, hey, hey. Wait, wait. No. No.
I don't want you to go.
I don't know what I'm doing here.
I don't even know who you are, Charlie.
And all this stuff I know for sure is all bad.
You know more than that.
We had--we had an amazing day,
and the only reason you're questioning all of this
is because of what I did to Jen.
Well, yeah, that's a big part of it.
I did a terrible thing, and I wish I had never done it, but...
It doesn't define me, Joey.
It's not all that I am.
Come on.
Haven't you ever hurt anybody?
Let me help you with that tent.
Dawson Leery! Whoo!
Jack, is that you?
Check me out, dude. Whoo! Ha ha ha!
Hey, man, be careful up there.
Hey, look, I can fly!
Why don't you come down from there?
Ok, I'll be right down.
Jack!
Here. Put that on.
I messed up, Dawson.
Don't worry about it, man.
I just wish-- wish you could ever rewind your life?
Pretty much all the time.
I mean, just...pick it up right after graduation
and just do it all over again.
What would you do different?
I don't know.
Why? What would you do?
I thought I was doing well, you know,
making new friends, trying different things, just...
Building this whole new life.
What's wrong with that?
It just got too hard, man. It...
I didn't think it was gonna be this hard.
You didn't think what would be this hard?
My life...
College.
I'm failing out of school, man.
Seriously?
Yeah. I--I gotta ace all my finals, all right?
I haven't read half the stuff.
It doesn't matter 'cause I'll never be able to do it.
Why? Well... Don't say that.
Take it one step at a time.
We'll help you out in any way we can.
Oh, yeah. That's a great line.
Yeah, because we say it to each other all the time.
"Dawson, your dad died, but you know what?
"You're gonna be ok. Hey, you're gonna get through it.
We're gonna help you."
Yeah. And you know what? You guys did.
It made all the difference in the world.
Tobey's got a new boyfriend.
I called him the other day just to say hi.
He seems so happy.
How am I supposed to fix my life
if I don't even know where I went wrong?
I just want to go back.
I just want to start over. Why can't I start over?
Why?
I just want to start over.
Thinkin' of becoming a roadie?
I've got good upper body strength.
I think I could handle it.
Pacey...I have to tell you something.
You kissed Chris.
Yeah.
What the hell?
I hired a couple of P.I.s.
They were tracking you, took some photos.
Wasn't pretty.
Hmph, doesn't quite figure, does it?
How do you mean?
You know...
Spending all that time tracking me down...
Would kinda mean that you care.
Yeah, it would, wouldn't it?
So, do you?
Because we can't keep going down this road that we've been on,
and it's not that it hasn't been great, because it really has.
Audrey-- - No. I need to say this.
No. Can I--
Will you give a girl a minute?
I am not so good with this vulnerable thing, ok?
Pacey, I want to be your girlfriend.
Ok? Officially.
And exclusively and...
Uncasually, and I want you to want the same thing,
but if you don't--
I do.
And I wanted to tell you that all day.
Then why didn't you?
I guess I was just waiting for my moment.
Well, how's right now for you?
Right now feels pretty good.
Audrey...
Will you be my girlfriend?
I would love to.
Dawson?
Hey, thought that was you.
How long you been here?
I...ha ha. I don't know.
You don't seem that surprised to see me.
Want some coffee? I brewed it fresh.
No. Thank you. I already had some.
Um, I just wanted to, um...
To find Joey.
Yeah.
Look, Dawson, if you're here because you think that you and Joey are...
Whatever you're thinking, this is a bad idea.
You know, Pace, I'm on... No sleep and about 26 hours' worth of driving.
I'm serious. You gotta give that thing up.
That thing that you guys do to each other,
the heroes of bad timing.
You've got to give that up. It's over.
No, it's not.
Aw, come on, Dawson. How many times are you gonna do this yourself?
How many times are you gonna keep on coming back?
Until there's nothing to come back for, I guess.
Suppose I was to tell you there's nothing right now?
Believe me, Pace, sometimes I wish that was the case.
But it's not.
I can feel it.
I know you don't believe in any of this, and that's fine.
You're the cynic. I'm the idealist. It's how we work, I guess.
But when I feel something this strong pulling me...
I have to act on it. It's...
The only thing that I know how to do.
So you gonna tell me where she is?
She's with Charlie, Dawson.
Will you hand me my socks? My feet are freezing.
Yeah.
Ah, you know, it's a good thing
I moved this tent indoors.
You might have lost a few toes
if we'd stayed on the beach.
Charming.
So...where were we?
Seventh grade, the crimping iron incident.
Ooh, that's a good one. You're gonna like this story.
Oh, do you want a break?
From you, never.
Hmm...
You're good with the one-liners.
Almost too good.
Too good? Uh-huh.
Uh-uh. You're kidding me.
I have been lying here right next to you all night,
and I still have not given you a proper kiss.
Man, I must've lost my touch.
I don't think so.
You don't?
