Joey: “I think I’m in love with you.” Pacey: “You think, or you know?” Joey: “I know. I’ve known it since the moment you kissed me, and maybe even before. And, as scary as it is, I don’t want to deny it anymore, Pacey. I don’t want to run away from it, and I don’t want to let it run from me.” Pacey: “So… what are we gonna do here, Jo?” Joey: “I want to come with you.” Pacey: “What?! Are you crazy?” Joey: “I want to stop standing still. I want to move forward. I want to come with you.” Pacey: “What about Bessie and the B&B? They need you.” Joey: “Not as much as I need you, Pacey.”

Pacey: “We must’ve been deaf, dumb and blind not to notice.”

Dawson’s Creek S3.E09 “Four to Tango”

Pacey: “I equate studying with sex, sex with studying. Now I get studying, but no sex, you understand? So it’s a little hard to get motivated these days.”

Joey: “So what you’re saying is that you’re merely the innocent victim in some behavioral psychology experiment gone horribly awry?”

Pacey: “Yeah.”

Joey: “And that you’re desperately in need of some able-bodied female to help you provoke those preconditioned Pavlovian homework responses?”

Pacey: “Yes!”

Joey: “That is the worst pick-up line I have ever heard, Pacey.”

Pacey: “Thanks, Toots, but I wasn’t hittin’ on ya. I’ll have you know I have my own prospects, thanks.”

Pacey: “Did you ever stop to think about how much hormonally charged energy you waste on these quick quips and the biting banter? Your life would be considerably more productive if you would just take some more… oh, what is that word? Some more… action. If you took more action.”

Joey: “Oh, like voluntary manslaughter?”

Pacey: “Well, how about like sticking out your thumb, huh?”

Joey: “Oh yeah, what else? Maybe hike up my skirt, pout my lips, strike some sexy pose for a horndog trucker? Stick out your own thumb, you sexist toad.”

Dawson’s Creek S3.E02 “Homecoming”

Joey: “The only real thing we can offer each other is forgiveness. Don’t let yourself get so angry that you stop loving, because one day you’ll wake up from that anger, and the person you love will be gone.”

Pacey: “C’mere.”

Dawson’s Creek S1.E10 “Double Date”

Quote from showrunner Kevin Williamson: “In the first season. You know that moment where they had to take their clothes off?

That was the episode where we first went, ‘Okay. There are sparks here. This is a storyline we’re going to go down, but we’ll have to wait.”

Dawson’s Creek S1.E10 “Double Date”

Pacey: “A lot of people would consider you a lucky woman.”

Joey: “Many people would consider you a very deluded man.”
