Dawson's Creek, Season 4

Pacey:
My family could give a crap about me or my birthday. This is just an excuse for my father to get a little bit drunker than usual, have some birthday cake, tell me I'm a disappointment and then pass out in his chair while watching When Animals Attack!.

Joey:
Okay, so they're not perfect. Granted. But they're your family, Pace. Don't you get what that means? The least you can do is make a little bit of an effort.

Pacey:
It doesn't matter what kind of effort I make. I'm still going to fail.
