Quotes[]

I said I was going out for the necessary provisions; that means beer and jello
—Jack
The one. The one I think of every time "In Your Eyes" comes on the radio. My perfect high school boyfriend who every boy gets compared to and who no one's lived up to yet, yep that's him, he's here... kill me now
—Audrey to Joey
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
—Oliver, to Dawson
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?
—Dawson to Pacey
She said, “he is my Dawson”, which is of course my personal kryptonite
—Pacey to Joey, about Audrey
Sometimes I think it's better when we don't get to touch our dreams
—Joey
