- Jen – You are very sneaky, you know that? You just turned around that entire conversation without ever having to admit that you were daydreaming about sex. I'm impressed
- Grams – I've learned from the best
- Jen – Well, that's true
❝
- There's the Potters for ya. Tend to believe in people more than they believe in themselves. It's a real character flaw
- —Dawson cheering Joey up
❝
- Pacey – You and I are just on opposite paths, Jo. On different roads. And we are heading further and further away from each other
- Joey – I don't think so. I think both roads lead back to the same place. Right here. You and me, Pace
❝
- Look son, I know I've been hard on you about school. It's not because I think you're not good enough to go, or get in. Pacey, I don't know if it's the right thing for you. I don't know if it's ever been right for you. But ask me, if I think you are meant to do great things? [...] And by the way, I never did get to tell my 'Remembering Pacey' story. It was about your 10th birthday and I got you fireworks and you said it was the best present you ever got. And we set them off out back down by the water and you - you were really happy, Pacey. So I was, too
- —Pacey's Dad
