Dawson's Creek, Season 4

Joey:
Gretchen, Dawson has this way of hanging on to things since he was like 12. You know, sure he outgrows them in their proper perspective. But that doesn't always mean that they're gone. Sometimes I think they're just waiting around for the right moment to come out again... and maybe if he thinks there's the slightest chance...

Gretchen:
Do you know what I think? If Dawson is waiting for some childhood crush to come around, he's not waiting on me.
